He was not a stranger, and the tea tasted wrong. No one spoke, and the living room suddenly became silent. After two sips, Yuan Shikai broke the silence first. He put down the teacup: "I heard from Keding that Mr. Ma's marksmanship is
Ancestry, I wonder if Mr. Ma’s ancestor is...?"
Before Yuan Shikai could finish, Ma Xingkong said: "My ancestors have been hunters for generations, and my marksmanship was discovered while hunting!"
"Oh!" Yuan Shikai nodded: "No wonder, no wonder, killing people is the same as killing animals. They are all shot with one shot. The intestines are pierced and the red blood flows out. Zhong Shan, tell them in the future, when training soldiers, you might as well also
Get some animals to practice your skills with, so that when they go to the battlefield, they won't be afraid of blood!" Cao Kun quickly agreed.
Yuan Shikai once asked: "What does Mr. Ma think of the current situation?"
Ma Xingkong said: "I am a wanted criminal, I don't understand the current situation, and I am bent on revenge. As long as anyone is in my way, I will give him a shot. This is the principle of my life and work!"
Yuan Shikai chuckled: "Quotes! Quotations! Only people like Mr. Ma can say such concise words. I have been in the officialdom for so long that people can no longer speak. Everything must be said in my head."
For a long time, I would say half and half, and leave the other half, haha, no one has talked to me like this for a long time!"
Ma Xingkong put down his tea cup: "President, you are right, but you still didn't tell me what you wanted to do with me?"
"Haha, he still has a bad temper!" Yuan Shikai stood up slowly, walked to his desk, took a photo and handed it to Ma Xingkong: "Do you know this person?"
Ma Xingkong shook his head. Yuan Shikai said: "If I ask you to kill this person, will you agree?"
Ma Xingkong looked at the photo carefully. The photo showed a soldier, wearing a military uniform, with a sword hanging from his waist. There were two furry things on his shoulders like brooms. His shoulders were very broad. He was not wearing a hat. He also had a bald head and a pointed chin.
, cheekbones protruding, two triangular eyes, and small ears, it is not a good thing at first glance.
After Ma Xingkong read it, he handed the photo back to Yuan Shikai: "He didn't mess with me, why should I kill him?"
Yuan Shikai smiled and said: "If you kill him, I promise to hand over Noda Kazuo, the counselor of the Japanese Legation, to you. This condition is not bad!"
Ma Xingkong thought for a while: "I won't hide it from you until now. The last time the eldest son asked me to assassinate someone, even though he was just a substitute, I did it. He also promised to give me the scar, but he never did.
Proceed, now that the President is saying this again, how do you expect me to believe you?"
Yuan Shikai laughed loudly: "How could I, the great President of the Republic of China, still deceive a little kid like you?"
"It's hard to say! You adults always say one thing and do another when doing things, especially if you are an official, let alone a high-ranking official!" Long Jie interjected.
Ma Xingkong smiled and said: "Look, even a little brother like me said this, how can I believe you like this?"
"Bastard!" Cao Kun listened for a long time and finally couldn't help it anymore: "How can you stubborn people talk to the president like this!"
Yuan Shikai waved his hand and said with a smile: "What will it take for Mr. Ma to believe it?"
Ma Xingkong said: "There is no evidence for what you say, but evidence for it through words. If the president reneges on his debt, I will announce it to the world and let the world comment on this. How about this? As long as the president sets up evidence, I, Ma Xingkong, will definitely take his place."
You finish this!"
Cao Kun hurried to Yuan Shikai's side and lay in Yuan Shikai's ear muttering for a long time. Yuan Shikai listened quietly. Secretary Liu had already prepared pen and paper. He had followed Yuan Shikai for many years. He knew exactly what kind of person Yuan Shikai was.
, the worst that can happen is that after the matter is successful, they can just send people to kill Ma Xingkong and others.
As expected by Secretary Liu, Yuan Shikai and Cao Kun talked for a long time before writing a letter to Ma Xingkong. Taking the photo, Ma Xingkong and others were sent out of Zhongnanhai. Yuan Shikai did not tell him who the person in the photo was.
, to put it bluntly, ten days later, at the Qianmen Railway Station, in the same place, this person will appear. As long as Ma Xingkong hits with one shot, he will go to Zhongnanhai to get Scar.
Liu Wu and others were also guessing about this person's identity along the way. It seemed that he should be a high official. There should be many high officials who could make Yuan Shikai hate him so much. He was about to become emperor, and anyone who opposed Yuan Shikai was Yuan Shikai's enemy. Reply
When he arrived at the leather goods store, Zhang Xueliang was asking Xiao Lizi what happened. When he saw Ma Xingkong and others coming back, he let out a long sigh.
Back in the backyard, Ma Xingkong took out the photo and asked Zhang Xueliang to identify him. Zhang Xueliang was considered to be half an official, and he was familiar with people from all walks of life. Maybe Zhang Xueliang knew him. Zhang Xueliang only took one look and said in shock: "Yuan Shikai really wants to kill him."
he?"
Ma Xingkong nodded: "Who is he?"
"One of the Three Heroes of Beiyang is Yuan Shikai's right-hand man in military training at the small station, Duan Qirui, the Governor of Hubei!" Zhang Xueliang said: "This Duan Qirui is still a patriotic person. He once firmly protested Yuan Shikai's signing of the agreement with Japan, and now he is in Hubei
Issued a statement opposing Yuan Shikai's proclaiming emperor, but I heard that Yuan Shikai had promised not to proclaim himself emperor, and also transferred Duan Qirui back to the capital and was promoted to chief of the army. It turned out to be a trap!"
"That's it!" Liu Wu nodded: "This Duan Qirui is still a good person!"
Zhang Xueliang smiled: "Fifth brother, you are wrong. No one in this world can be judged by good or bad. Now it seems that Duan Qirui is a good person, but don't forget that if Duan Qirui hadn't helped Yuan Shikai, Yuan Shikai would have been
Today, can there be such an attempt to become emperor? It can only be said that Duan Qirui has no use value for Yuan Shikai, but has become a stumbling block, so we must get rid of him!"
Ma Xingkong asked again: "Then why didn't Yuan Shikai send his own people to do it? Wouldn't it be more dangerous for me to do it?"
Zhang Xueliang shook his head and said: "Brother, I still don't know much about things in the officialdom. Yuan Shikai wants to kill Duan Qirui, how could Duan Qirui be unprepared? Duan Qirui has followed Yuan Shikai for so many years, how can he hide what he did from Duan Qirui?"
Qi Rui, only by using outsiders can we achieve unexpected results! If things succeed, just find someone to take the blame. If it fails, he, Yuan Shikai, can also blame him!"
Hei Wa was frightened when he heard that things in the officialdom were so sinister. It was difficult for Hei Wa, who had lived in a mountain village since childhood, to understand: "This Yuan Shikai is really vicious. Let us take the blame for him!" Ma Xingkong
He bowed his head in silence and thought carefully. According to Zhang Xueliang, it would not be good for him whether the matter would work out or not. No matter what, he would be accused of being an assassin and wanted by all parties. Zhang Xueliang patted Ma Xingkong on the shoulder: "Brother
, don’t worry, this matter may not get worse, I have a good idea!”
Ma Xingkong immediately raised his head, and everyone looked at Zhang Xueliang. Zhang Xueliang straightened his collar, pretending to be like a young adult, and said: "Didn't I say that Yuan Shikai also created a written certificate for you? We can definitely do it on this."
