"Why didn't you see Li Songqing?" Fang Jianxiong was still recovering from his injuries, so the ordinary guests were naturally missing. The teacher Sun Baoqi was here, so naturally he wanted to see him. There were many people visiting in the past two days, but Li Yuanhong was not seen. , so there is this question.

"It is said that the grape arbor at home fell down. There were scratch marks all over his face and he did not dare to go out. I think he was afraid and did not dare to come to see Fuguo." Sun Baoqi was not someone who followed others' opinions. Li Yuanhong stayed behind closed doors. They can all analyze one, two, and three.

Li Muyan, who had been staying by the side, knew some details and explained with a smile: "It is certain that Li Songqing was afraid when the commander-in-chief was assassinated. However, it is true that the family's concubine Wenxiu was also afraid because of a woman named Shen Peizhen. It overturned the jealousy. This woman is interesting, trendy and romantic, and pretty. She has an unclear relationship with Li Songqing. According to the investigation, Li Songqing gave her 10,000 yuan, and her concubine Wenxiu found out about it. , the family is in turmoil. I want Li Songqing to expel Shen Peizhen out of Wuhan."

Fang Jianxiong didn't know the origin of Shen Peizhen. Historically, she was very famous in the female world in the early years of the Republic of China. Later generations of scholars, Gao Fu, wrote the book "Wild History" and jokingly called this woman a "political treasure." The most interesting thing is that this woman was There is a line of small words on the business card in history: "Originally from Huangpo, originally from Xiangshan, now from Xiangcheng." This is a very controversial woman. She actively planned a revolution in Tianjin at the beginning of 1911, but failed and left. She was a hero for a while. There are many controversial figures in the history of the Republic of China, but it is certain that this woman had great political ambitions. (Without further digression, let’s go find the information. Bai Juyi has a poem that says: Xiangshi died at the beginning. Who will be able to recover the authenticity of his body? I know. After reading the history of the Republic of China, I feel that this sentence can be applied to many people.)

"What's new and romantic? Isn't he just a social butterfly? Don't mention it! Teacher, please take the trouble to visit Li Songqing and let him feel at ease. He is now the deputy commander of the National Defense Forces and the deputy leader of the Republican Party. Military affairs are not Why do you want to take care of it? You can ask about government affairs." Fang Jianxiong said this, and Sun Baoqi naturally understood the spirit. Li Yuanhong was not allowed to touch the military power. This is the red line. For other things, he can do whatever he wants. If Fang Jianxiong wants to achieve great things, he must get whatever he wants. Everyone should use it. It must be tolerant. Sun Baoqi is still very willing to see this phenomenon. Speaking of Li Yuanhong, it is also quite miserable. Without military power, he is just meat on the chopping board. The Nanjing Provisional Government elected him as vice president, and it did not work. Dare to agree to take office.

Sun Baoqi is living a very comfortable life now. He doesn't care much about military affairs. When it comes to local affairs, officials from the two provinces are obedient to him. As for elected governors, Sun Baoqi has the power of supervision and can deal with anyone he wants. Who to deal with? But Sun Baoqi will not mess around. As long as he serves Marshal Fang well, he will naturally not make things difficult for him.

Sun Baoqi didn't stay long and left happily. Li Muyan, who stayed behind, reported in a low voice: "Cai Yuanpei will be here in the evening. I mean it's a humble job, so I might as well go back as I came."

Fang Jianxiong shook his head to deny this suggestion and said with a smile: "Mr. Heqing is not an ordinary alliance member. He has noble moral character and behaves like a gentleman. You must treat Mr. Heqing with respect. That's good. I'll go to the dock to greet you. In fact, He I really hope that I can use such a great talent as Mr. Qing. Unfortunately, I don’t have enough reputation. It’s difficult! Regardless of the current situation, many people may not be convinced of me in their bones. There is still a long road to walk on thin ice in the future, Mr. Mu Yan. "

This was a bit of a double entendre. Li Muyan quickly stood up, bowed and said with a smile: "In your humble position, please remember the commander-in-chief's teachings and be careful in everything you do." As he said this, he was secretly calculating in his heart, what would happen to those few people who came from his hometown?

I'm a relative, send some money to let them go home. I originally planned to arrange a few places, but now I don't dare.

In the dusk, the Yangtze River was soaked into gold by the setting sun, and the sparkling waves swept the white waves eastward. The long whistle interrupted Cai Yuanpei's thoughts. Standing on the deck and watching the river ship dock, Cai Yuanpei had no idea about this trip.

I don't have much confidence, especially when two assassinations occurred.

I just learned the news that Fang Jianxiong was assassinated yesterday morning and Tao Chengzhang was assassinated at night. After hearing this, Cai Yuanpei's confidence in the future of the interim government was cast into a shadow. Tao Chengzhang's death was a heavy blow to Cai Yuanpei.

Although Cai Yuanpei was also the founder of the Guangfuhui, he later could not agree with Tao Chengzhang's political ideas and measures to defeat Sun Yat-sen, but he still felt deeply sad when he heard the news of his assassination.

Cai Yuanpei knew very well that Tao Chengzhang's death was related to the Zhejiang governor's dispute. This was the source of Cai Yuanpei's deep sadness, right? How to put it? The provisional government was established. Although the road ahead was difficult, Cai Yuanpei firmly believed that he could go on. However, assassinations occurred one after another.

In the case, the person who was assassinated was a former revolutionary comrade. How can this not make people sad and question the future of this government?

The pier was heavily guarded, and guards with submachine guns could be seen everywhere. Three black cars were parked on the pier, and standing on the shore were Sun Baoqi and Li Yuanhong. Just seeing these two, Cai Yuanpei was somewhat disappointed.

The key to the success or failure of the mission is Fang Jianxiong. If he doesn't come, what does it mean? The atmosphere in Wuchang is so solid that it's worrying.

Holding back his disappointment, Cai Yuanpei turned his head and glanced at the calm-looking Zhang Jian next to him. This man asked to come with him. Zhang Jian has been active since the Wuchang Uprising. His political leanings are not clear, but it is obvious that he will not support it.

The Provisional Government took the initiative to follow us on this trip, I'm afraid there will be another article.

After meeting at the pier and being polite, Sun Baoqi led Cai Yuanpei to a car and made a gesture: "Mr. Heqing, please get in the car."

Cai Yuanpei was polite, but when he bent down to get into the car, he was stunned. There was actually someone in the car, and he gave him a difficult smile. Fang Jianxiong was still wearing a bandage, and the paleness on his face did not seem to be fake.

"Fuguo, what are you doing?" Cai Yuanpei asked in surprise. Fang Jianxiong seemed to be struggling to speak, and smiled reluctantly: "Mr. He Qing is a great sage today, and Jianxiong will greet everything he says. However, his body

It’s inconvenient and I have to wait in the car.”

"Fel the country..." Cai Yuanpei didn't know what to say, and felt warm in his heart.

When the car was on the road, Fang Jianxiong adjusted his sitting position and leaned against the car window and said to Cai Yuanpei: "I understand the meaning of Mr. Heqing's coming here. Sir, please rest assured that despite different political opinions, I have no hostility towards the provisional government.

However, there are some people in the provisional government who are determined to die before me, and this is a real thing that happened."

Cai Yuanpei wanted to explain, but Fang Jianxiong raised his hand and continued: "Mr. Heqing, listen to me! I have ordered the troops to withdraw from Dangtu. At this stage, only one division remains in Wuhu. Please tell Mr. Heqing to tell Mr. Sun

, Tao Chengzhang's death was so unjust, and if it cannot be dealt with properly, it will definitely chill the hearts of people all over the world. I will never allow the internal fighting in the revolutionary ranks to rise to the level of causing death. The person who assassinated me and the instigators behind the scenes,

I won’t let anyone go.”

After hearing this last sentence, Cai Yuanpei's expression changed and he quickly asked: "What, the killer has been found?"

Fang Jianxiong smiled and said: "We have found out clearly and will announce it to the public tomorrow. It is not convenient to disclose it to sir here."

Cai Yuanpei suddenly complained secretly in his heart, and wanted to say something but couldn't say anything. Fang Jianxiong's words and attitude spoke for themselves. "How could this happen? How could this happen?" Thinking of Tao Chengzhang's death, Cai Yuanpei also felt unspeakable sadness and anger.

feeling.

Fang Jianxiong took over and said: "How could this be? Yes, I couldn't understand it at first, but later I figured it out. Without him, some people in the revolutionary ranks only have their own interests in their eyes. When their own interests are challenged, they will not care.

They do not hesitate to attack challengers. Such people cannot be regarded as revolutionaries in the revolutionary ranks, but can only be regarded as speculators. Because they value the benefits brought by the revolution rather than the future of the country.

.”

The car was still moving forward, but Cai Yuanpei was speechless for a long time, with a desolate look on his face, and finally gave up with a long sigh. This is a sensible person, and a kind person. Even at this point, he is not willing to talk behind others' backs.

Fang Jianxiong threw Cai Yuanpei to Sun Baoqi and Li Yuanhong on the grounds that he was injured. When he returned to his residence, he saw the Yin sisters wandering at the door of the yard. When they saw the car approaching, they looked over together. Fang Jianxiong moved with difficulty when he got out of the car, and the two sisters got in together.

Come and help.

"Brother Fang, why are you out? You don't care about your body at all." Yin Weijun's eyes were full of tears, and he couldn't control them. Fang Jianxiong felt a little ashamed when he saw his sincerity. He had to continue acting, lowly

He said: "Mr. Cai Yuanpei is here on behalf of the Nanjing Provisional Government. I will go and greet him."

"How can there be any good people in the Nanjing Provisional Government? Brother Tao was also killed by them." Yin Weijun cursed angrily, and Fang Jianxiong said with a bitter smile: "You can't say that, there are still good people in the Provisional Government. Mr. Cai is a good man and kind.

Gentleman. I don’t have to give face to others, but I have to give them face.”

Yin Ruizhi had been silent, but now he was helping Fang Jianxiong walk in, and suddenly said: "When we came back, Sister Tang went to Nanjing, and no amount of persuasion worked. She said she wanted to ask Mr. Sun in person who he really was.

I’m trying to smear you.”

Fang Jianxiong was stunned and said: "Is Tang Qunying? As a chivalrous and loyal person, I think she has to be fooled into not being able to find Bei."

Yin Weijun gently pushed Fang Jianxiong's arm and whispered: "You still want to joke."

When they arrived at the room, when the sisters were helping Fang Jianxiong lie down, Dou Qingmei's voice came from outside: "I want to go in. Usually I am always waiting for Fang Guo."

Fang Jianxiong was startled when he heard the sound and glanced at Qi Erzhu.

Guard captain Qi Erzhu looked at the Yin sisters, stepped forward and explained in a low voice: "Commander, the news about your trip was leaked by a female soldier who is close to Dou Qingmei. Mr. Mu Yan didn't ask me to tell you."
