Chapter 202 Ma Xingkong's head is worth one hundred thousand
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
A burst of thick smoke rose from the Japanese Concession, and everyone in the capital could see it clearly. The sound of a huge explosion spread for three to five miles, and the earth trembled. Ma Xingkong supported Hei Wa as he staggered around in the sewer and almost fell.
fall.
Hei Wa ran back in disgrace and shook his head. The dust on their heads made several people cough violently. Ma Xingkong patted Hei Wa on the shoulder: "You're not hurt, are you?" Hei Wa laughed twice.
When they climbed out of the sewer, they were already in an alley a few alleys away. First, Ma Xingkong stuck his head out and looked around, then pulled Long Jie out, and Hei Wa came out last with the person leading the way.
Long Jie was unconscious due to excessive blood loss, and Ma Xingkong called several times but did not answer.
"Brother, how should we deal with this guy?" Hei Wa pulled the person leading the way.
Seeing that the momentum was not right, the leader hurriedly knelt down and said, "Uncle, please spare me. I am Chinese. I am a Chinese. I am a senior and a junior. I work as an errand for the Japanese just to earn a living. Please, please."
,Uncle, please spare me!"
Looking at the guy who was kneeling on the ground and kowtowing, with a lot of tears and runny nose, Ma Xingkong said: "For the sake of showing us the way, let's go!"
The riots in the Japanese Concession shook the entire capital. The Japanese no longer cared about the issue of face. A large group of soldiers surrounded the Presidential Palace and demanded that Cao Kun hand over the murderer. The people and citizens of the capital felt happy and praised those who worked in Japan.
The people who made trouble in the concession were heroes who were not afraid of death. Zhou Shuren also published an article "The Backbone of China" on New Youth to commemorate this incident.
Ma Xingkong carried Long Jie back to his small courtyard. Xiao Shunzi bandaged Long Jie's wounds again, and with the help of Wei Qingyuan, stole some blood from the French hospital to save Long Jie's life.
.
A few days later, on June 6, the fifth year of the Republic of China, the Presidential Office of the Republic of China announced the news of Yuan Shikai's death. It also announced a wanted order jointly signed by President Cao Kun and the Japanese Minister to arrest the notorious horse thief.
Anyone who provides clues will receive a reward of 100,000 yuan, and the person who can bring Ma Xingkong's head will receive a reward of 500,000 yuan.
Ma Xingkong's portrait is posted on all major roads, inns, and stations in the capital. The people are excited. Five hundred thousand dollars is enough to feed a family of three for several lifetimes. Who doesn't want it? Ma Xingkong has become the most talked about among the people of the capital after dinner.
a person's name.
Wei Qingyuan sent someone to deliver the news, and also brought a portrait of Ma Xingkong, who was wanted. Ma Xingkong looked at it and said with a smile: "I didn't expect, I didn't expect that my head would be so valuable!"
But Hei Wa said: "Brother, I think I can't stay in Beijing any longer. It won't take many police to find this place!"
Ma Xingkong nodded. Early the next morning, he was alone, carrying the bamboo basket containing Yuan Shikai's head, and went up to a barren mountain outside the west gate. A tomb without a tombstone sat alone on the mountain, and the grass growing around it was almost
It was already submerged. Ma Xingkong spent a lot of effort to clear away the weeds.
Kneeling in front of Cui Jiu's grave, Ma Xingkong kowtowed three times, took out Yuan Shikai's head, and said with tears: "Master, my disciple is unfilial. This is Yuan Shikai's head. I have avenged you!"
As Hei Wa expected, within two days, some sneaky people appeared at the door of the small courtyard where Ma Xingkong and the others lived. Although these people were all dressed like farmers, it was obvious at a glance that they were all policemen because they did not have farmers.
Hei Wa said anxiously to Ma Xingkong: "Brother, let's go! The more we wait, the more dangerous we will be! There is no tunnel leading to the outside of the village!"
Ma Xingkong shook his head: "Long Jie was seriously injured. Shunzi said he couldn't move it. If we leave now, Long Jie might die! No, I can never leave my brother behind!"
Hei Wa sighed. Xiao Shunzi helped Long Jie out of the back room. Long Jie coughed violently: "Brother, let's go! Don't worry, I'm fine. I won't die. Haha, cough..."
Ma Xingkong glanced at Xiao Shunzi, who shook his head. Ma Xingkong said: "No, wait a few more days!"
"Brother! We can't wait any longer. The police have already arrived at the door. They will rush in at any time, as well as the Japanese. If we don't leave, we will all die here!" Long Jie coughed twice more: "Rather than die here, why not?"
It’s better to go out and fight them now!”
Ma Xingkong supported Long Jie, nodded, and sighed: "Brother! Go now, it's your injury!"
Long Jie pushed Xiao Shunzi away, picked up the dagger on the table, and put it on his neck: "Brother, if you don't leave, I will die now! I won't drag you down!"
Hei Wa's quick eyesight and quick hands grabbed the dagger: "You're crazy, you can't die like this!"
Looking into Long Jie's eyes, Ma Xingkong said: "Okay! Shunzi, take everything with you. Long Jie will be taken care of by you along the way. You must take good care of me and nothing will happen! Let's leave tonight.
!”
Cao Kun in the Zhongnanhai Presidential Palace was also a little undecided. The Police Department had already found out Ma Xingkong's whereabouts. As long as he told the Japanese the location, he would be cleared of responsibility. But his secretary Liu Yong advised him not to do so.
What Liu Yong means is that the Japanese have now completely shown their greedy face. The last time the Japanese Concession happened, the Japanese ignored the opposition of all countries and forcibly sent a squadron to station in the Japanese Concession. This time, it is obvious that the Japanese are looking for trouble. Without any evidence
It proves that the Chinese are disturbing the Japanese concession and forcing the government to sign a warrant. They want to put the blame on the Chinese government and really let them catch Ma Xingkong. They fall into the trap and the Japanese have an excuse.
.As long as the Japanese do not catch Ma Xingkong, they will not have enough confidence to speak to other countries, and all countries can still be in a balance. If they really catch Ma Xingkong, it will be confirmed that the Chinese are causing trouble in the Japanese Concession.
, the Japanese felt confident in their decision to increase their troops.
Cao Kun also thought that the Japanese minister had approached him many times and made it clear that for the sake of safety, the Japanese concession would be moved to Jintianwei. At the same time, because the Chinese were in Dongshan Province where the Germans used to be, in order to appease Japan's anger,
The cave must be ceded as a concession to Japan.
"President, what should we do now?" Director Zhang asked.
Cao Kun waved his hand: "Wait a minute! But you are keeping a close eye on me, so I have to hand them over as a last resort! If they run away, I will hand you over!"
"Yes!" Director Zhang agreed. After returning, he sent more than a hundred police officers overnight, pretending to be various people, taking turns to monitor the small courtyard where Ma Xingkong and the others lived 24 hours a day. At the same time, they mobilized the Beijing Security Battalion.
Surround the entire mountain village to prevent the horse from running away and hurting yourself.
