Early the next morning, Zhang Xueliang ordered his men to go to the street and buy a copy of each newspaper. Almost every newspaper used yesterday's incident at the train station as the front page. Some said that the president was assassinated and gangsters
His whereabouts are unknown; some said that the president was assassinated, but nothing serious happened. Various rumors immediately floated over the capital.
Ma Xingkong smiled and said to Zhang Xueliang: "When did these newspapers tell the truth? It depends on them. Why don't you listen to me!"
Zhang Xueliang shook his head: "I don't think things are that simple. Since Yuan Shikai already knows that Yuan Keding is not good for him, and he still wants to tell him the time of his trip, isn't it obvious that he is waiting for Yuan Keding to assassinate him? Yuan Shikai can survive until now, and wants to kill him
There are so many people, including the revolutionary party in the south, the National Protectorate of the Qing Dynasty, and some foreigners, but Yuan Shikai can survive to this day, how can he be killed by this little trick?"
"Mr. Zhang, don't believe it. I saw it clearly, one shot to the head! That blood, that brain..." Long Jie danced and gestured.
Zhang Xueliang smiled: "In short, if there is no news of Yuan Shikai's death in the newspaper, I don't believe that he is really dead!"
Several people were arguing, and Han Xiaomo hurried in. He said to Ma Xingkong: "Brother Ma, Yuan Keding's people are here. Please go there quickly, saying that there is something very important!"
Ma Xingkong nodded and glanced at Zhang Xueliang. Zhang Xueliang smiled: "It seems that Yuan Shikai is not dead!"
Yuan Keding paced back and forth in the living room. The injured leg was a bit short, and it was very ugly to walk. Ma Xingkong put down the tea cup: "I said, eldest son, he is not dead, let's kill him again.
you……"
"Ha! Kill again?" Yuan Keding sat down: "It's so simple, I won't look for you anymore. Now the old man has doubted me. It's just because I am his son that he didn't touch me. He wants to kill me again.
It’s easier said than done for him!”
"Then what should we do?" Ma Xingkong said: "The eldest son will not default on his debt, right? As agreed, I will kill Yuan Shikai for you, and you will give me the scar. Where is the person with the scar?"
Yuan Keding suppressed the anger in his heart: "Mr. Ma, since the old man is not dead, our deal has not been completed yet. If you wait for another opportunity, as long as you kill him again, whether it is the old man's substitute or not, I will definitely give the scar to you!
"
"Are you kidding me?" Ma Xingkong said.
Yuan Keding smiled: "Now we are just grasshoppers on the same rope, but I can say that in the worst case, I can live out the rest of my life peacefully, but you are different. If you let the old man catch you, you will die!"
"Are you threatening me?" Ma Xingkong waited for Yuan Keding: "As big as I am, Ma Xingkong, the thing I'm not afraid of the most is threats!"
"Mr. Ma is wrong, this is not a threat, but an alliance!" Yuan Keding waved his hand, and someone came in with a plate. Yuan Keding uncovered the red cloth on the plate, revealing two gold bars, and said with a smile: "Although we did not succeed this time,
Mr. Ma’s marksmanship really opened my eyes. This is just a reward for Mr. Ma. If you succeed in the future, I will repay you greatly!"
Ma Xingkong was not polite and winked at Long Jie. Long Jie grabbed two gold bars and put them into his pocket. Ma Xingkong smiled: "I feel relieved after saying this, but please remember, eldest son,
My ultimate goal is not these, but scars!"
"Of course! Don't worry, Mr. Ma, as long as things are successful, everything will be easy!"
After leaving Yuan Keding's home, Liu Wu said: "This Yuan Keding is much more insidious than his father. Brother, please be careful!"
He turned out of the alley, hailed a few rickshaws, and walked towards the overpass. Along the way, Ma Xingkong always felt like a hunter that someone was following him. He looked back several times and saw people coming and going on the bustling street.
Someone was following me and I don’t know who it was. I learned the lesson from last time and climbed onto the overpass. The rickshaw did not stop at the main entrance of the leather goods store. I turned around and entered the alley next to it.
"Brother? Why did you stop here!" Long Jie jumped out of the car and dismissed the driver.
Ma Xingkong looked back: "I think someone is following us, have you noticed it?"
Long Jie ran to the alley and looked back and forth: "No! There are people on the street, who will follow us?"
Liu Wu nodded: "I also think there is someone, could it be someone from Yuan Keding?"
Ma Xingkong shook his head: "No, he knows where we are, there is no need to follow us!" The three of them stayed in the alley for a long time, waiting until dark, but they didn't see that guy break in.
Go in through the back door of the leather goods store. The back door of a house not far away opens slightly, and a figure flashes out. After seeing where Ma Xingkong and the others are going, he flashes back.
Cao Kun hurried into Jurentang, and Yuan Shikai was eating. A few butterfly vegetables, a bowl of gruel, and two steamed buns. Yuan Shikai was eating deliciously. When Cao Kun came in, Yuan Shikai didn't even raise his head until he took the last bite of the dish.
After eating a mouthful of porridge and a mouthful of steamed buns, he wiped his mouth, picked up the cup of tea next to him, rinsed his mouth, and swallowed the mouthwash.
"Zhongshan, it's so late, what's important?" Yuan Shikai put down his teacup, put his hands behind his back, and walked slowly out the door while talking.
Cao Kun hurriedly followed, took the coat from Secretary Liu, and put it on Yuan Shikai: "President, I have already inquired about that matter!"
"Oh?" Yuan Shikai did not stop, walked out of Jurentang, and turned onto the tree-lined path next to it. In the late autumn, Zhonghai looked depressed, and the cold air swept away all the leaves. The wind in the capital was very strong, and there was a slight cold wind.
The blow made him feel a little chilly. Yuan Shikai tightened the coat around him.
"The person the eldest son is looking for is Ma Xingkong, who caused trouble in Jurentang a few days ago!" Cao Kun walked a few steps and followed Yuan Shikai: "This Ma Xingkong was originally a bandit leader in Hunhe. His ancestors were hunters.
With his background and good marksmanship, he united with the various hilltops in the Hun River to play around with the officers and soldiers sent by Marshal Wang to suppress the bandits!"
"That boy has this ability?" Yuan Shikai was a little surprised.
Cao Kun quickly agreed: "Yes, but there was a traitor among the bandits, so he was defeated and fled. Among them, Zhang Hanmin and the Japanese Minister Kazuo Noda were killed. His wife and old father-in-law were killed in Hunhe River. In order to take revenge, he
When he came to the capital, he had nothing to do with the revolutionary parties in the south, and he met Zhang Xueliang by chance!"
Yuan Shikai took a deep breath: "This boy should not be underestimated. According to what you said, he has only been here for a few days and has caused such a big stir in the capital. What else can he do?"
Cao Kun continued: "They live in a leather goods shop in Tianqiao. This place was planted by Zhang Zuolin along the capital. There are rumors that Ma Xingkong has joined the Qinggang and worshiped Tianqiao Cui Xiaozhu as his disciple. According to the rules of the Qinggang, his status is very high.
!”
"Okay! Okay! Okay!" Yuan Shikai said three times in a row. Cao Kun could no longer guess what Yuan Shikai wanted to do now and could only wait for his instructions. Yuan Shikai thought for a long time: "In this case, I will send someone tomorrow."
Looking for this Ma Xingkong, I really want to meet him. This person can get away with both black and white. He must not be simple. It is best to take him back and use him for my use!"
