A train slowly approached Qianmen Railway Station. The huge steam engine sprayed out strong white steam, and all the people on the platform were enveloped in it. A large group of officers wearing high-ranking officer uniforms and their wives stood in the cold
The wind has been waiting all morning. The military band nearby played cheerful music, and the soldiers saluted or stood at attention. The people watching knew that there must be a high official in the car without guessing.
"Hi...!" The train spit out the last breath of steam and stopped steadily beside the platform. Waves of warm applause broke out from the crowd. Several officers immediately climbed up the steps and entered the car. Ma Xingkong looked at it lightly.
One of them was Cao Kun. Before entering, Cao Kun looked back and looked at Ma Xingkong.
"Quick! Find it quickly!" Ma Xingkong threw the monocular telescope to Long Jie. Long Jie, Liu Wu and others took various telescopes obtained by Zhang Xueliang and began to look at the windows of all the houses around the station, and
Search among the crowd of onlookers on the platform.
Zhang Xueliang believes that Yuan Shikai will definitely not put all the weight on Ma Xingkong alone. There must be other assassins. After Zhang Xueliang's analysis, Ma Xingkong's purpose has changed from assassinating Duan Qirui to protecting Duan.
Qi Rui. They want this person who is against Yuan Shikai to live, at least for now.
"On the left, there is a situation in the first private room on the third floor of Quanjude!"
“Qing Linchun’s rooftop also has one!”
“There are two more next to the bus at the exit!”
There are no less than five groups of people in total. Liu Wu worriedly said: "Brother, can you serve them all?"
Ma Xingkong shook his head: "We can only hit one place. As soon as the gunshot is fired, there should be a reaction in the station, and Duan Qirui will be alert!"
"It's so far away, even if you shoot, they can't hear you!" Hei Wa said.
Ma Xingkong withdrew his gaze and re-aimed his gun at the train Duan Qirui was riding. Duan Qirui's entourage came down one after another, and the greeting crowd hurriedly stepped forward to shake hands, and the greetings were lively. The military band's music became louder and louder as it played.
loud, forcing those who speak to raise their voices.
Cao Kun came out. He looked around and waved to everyone with a smile. The crowd quickly dispersed and stood in the order they started. The officers saluted, and the gentry and women continued to applaud. Cao Kun stepped aside.
, behind him, a bald head emerged first, dressed in military uniform, still without a hat. There were various decorations on his chest, and he was holding a walking stick in his hand and waving.
"That's him!" Long Jie said. At the same time, Ma Xingkong's gun also fired, and bullets flew rapidly towards Duan Qirui from the window on the third floor of the inn.
The distance of five hundred meters is neither long nor short. According to the speed at which the bullets of Lee Enferti's rifle come out of the chamber, it only takes one second at most. After taking into account the effects of wind speed, humidity and various factors,
It won't take more than a second.
"Bang!" The crutch that was held high above his head suddenly broke at the waist. The second half flew up and hit Duan Qirui's bald head hard, knocking him hard. The quality developed through years of fighting immediately made Duan Qirui aware of the danger.
He hurriedly turned around and ran into the carriage. At this moment, three or four bullets hit the carriage made of iron sheets, making a crisp sound. Several officers who were closer to Duan Qirui were beaten with vibrators.
Injured and bleeding.
"There are assassins!" someone shouted loudly. The crowd was in a panic. Since they didn't know where the bullets came from, everyone ran around. Those officers, gentry and concubines on the platform no longer cared about their dignity, you
They squeezed me, I squeezed you, and there was a mess. Many people were squeezed from the platform to the rails that were as high as one person, and they fell hard.
Ma Xingkong finished the job with one shot, immediately pulled the bolt and loaded the gun, turned the gun and aimed it at the roof of Qing Linchun. "Bang" was another gunshot. From the roof of Qing Linchun, a body rolled down to the ground along the eaves. On the spot
Out of breath, the pedestrians on the street were in panic again. The police's sharp whistle sounded, and they all rushed towards the inn.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!" Three more shots were fired, and bodies appeared in Quanjude's private room and on the road outside the station. The entire front door was a mess. Small business stalls were kicked and goods were trampled. Some shops hurriedly hurriedly
Closed for business.
After Ma Xingkong finished firing five rounds of bullets, he immediately packed up the rifle and handed it to Long Jie: "Let's leave quickly. If we don't leave, it will be too late! Remember to separate!"
"I will follow big brother!" Long Jie said stubbornly: "Wherever big brother goes, I will go!"
Everyone in the inn ran away. Liu Wu and Hei Wa climbed through the window and left on the neighbor's roof. Shitou led Xiao Shunzi through the back door of the inn. When Ma Xingkong and Long Jie went downstairs, the hall was already full of people.
The police arrived. One by one, they held guns and watched Ma Xingkong and Long Jie come down from upstairs.
"What are you doing? What are you holding in your hand?" asked a policeman sitting at the table drinking tea with his hat tilted on his head.
"Staying in the hotel!" Ma Xingkong replied: "The things in here were given to me by Yuan Keding! Are you sure you want to see them?"
When he heard Yuan Keding's three words, the policeman almost choked on his tea. He kept coughing: "Ahem, cough, cough, say it again, who is it?"
"Yuan Keding, Mr. Yuan!" Ma Xingkong said with a smile.
"Nonsense! How dare you two assassins involve the eldest young master!" Another policeman immediately said: "Arrest these two assassins!"
A policeman snatched the box from Long Jie's hand, and after opening it, it was the Lee Enferti rifle. The first policeman laughed: "Okay! Someone intended to assassinate General Duan, and now the stolen goods have been taken away!
What’s in that?”
As a rule, assassins usually carry the money entrusted to them by their employers with them. The policeman thought that the baggage on Long Jie's back was the money given to them by his employer, so he immediately reached out and grabbed it. The two of them pulled at the gap, and then
We left the inn and came to the street.
A few dazzling lights flashed and nothing could be seen. The magnesium powder flash used in this kind of camera is very powerful. Maybe Long Jie didn't zip it up properly, and when the light flashed, the baggage was opened, and the contents inside immediately flew all over the sky.
Pieces of white paper fluttered down to the crowd of onlookers. Of course, the reporters with flash cameras also saw it.
Ma Xingkong smiled slightly. When the policeman saw that the bag was full of pieces of paper, he was a little frustrated: "Damn it, a bag of tattered paper is so precious, hurry up and leave!"
Early the next morning, Wu Jing lowered her head to eat breakfast, and her father was reading the newspaper opposite her. The moment he raised his head to pick up the food, the face on the north side of the newspaper caught his attention. Isn't this him? Wu Jing's
Her heart skipped a beat, as it was definitely not good to publish it in the newspaper at this time. She hurriedly put down the dishes and chopsticks, said something and rushed out of the door.
"Read the newspaper! Read the newspaper! There is an intention to assassinate Duan Qirui. The real culprit behind the scenes is the president! Read the newspaper! Read the newspaper!..." A little newsboy was holding a newspaper and hawking it on the street.
