Earlier, he had thought about not being too troublesome and arranging so many "miscellaneous people waiting" aside. With many people and many hands, accidents were more likely to happen. However, before he left, he received instructions from the central government to handle the reception work.
The response was so enthusiastic that in the end I could only silently accept Zheng Rucheng’s arrangement. High-speed update? First-time update?
As Song Jiaoren walked, he waved to the farewell crowd. He did not know that these farewell people had been arranged earlier, and he only regarded them as like-minded people who were keen to support party political reform.
Chen Wennian, who was walking at the front, had already opened the door of the float carriage. He and Du Yuhui stood on both sides, and several attendants got on the car first and packed their luggage.
Just when Yuan Su and Song Jiaoren were about to arrive in front of the carriage, a scream suddenly came from the crowd on one side. Some people immediately looked towards the place where the scream came from, before everyone could react or
After seeing clearly what happened, another gunshot rang out from the crowd.
The sound of the gunshot was like a bomb exploding on the ground. Whether it was the "see-off crowd" arranged or the passengers on the other side of the platform who were busy getting on and off the train, they were all frightened and panicked. The crowds came one after another.
They screamed and fled away like frightened birds and animals. Those who couldn't escape quickly fell to the ground.
In just a short moment, the originally orderly scene suddenly turned into a chaotic scene.
Yuan Su's first thought was that he was extremely angry: nearly two hundred people were on site for security, and something like this still happened. Could it be that all the previous preparations were in vain?
However, he did not continue to think about it. The security personnel around him had already swarmed up, surrounded him and Song Jiaoren, and rushed towards the carriage while pushing and squeezing him. There were people around him, and he could not see clearly at all.
What is happening outside, but at this critical moment, it is better to wait until we are in a safe position before thinking about anything else.
"Mr. Song, where are you, Mr. Song?"
"I'm right here, I'm right here."
"Are you injured? Are you injured?"
"No, no, I'm fine. What on earth is going on..."
Before Song Jiaoren could finish his words, there was another burst of fierce gunfire, and it was more intensive than before. It sounded like the number of people shooting was at least a dozen.
Just as Yuan Su and Song Jiaoren quickly moved to the door of the carriage, two screams suddenly came from around them. Two guards were hit by stray bullets and fell to the ground. But even so, the other guards still fought bravely.
He fought back and unswervingly blocked Yuan Su and Song Jiaoren with his body until both Yuan Su and Song Jiaoren got into the carriage.
The fight had only been going on for a few minutes, and the entire train station platform was in chaos. Many people were running away frantically, while the rest were so frightened that they could not move. They kept lying on the ground, hiding in corners, or being beaten.
He was accidentally injured and fell to the ground, howling in pain. There were about 40 guards, military police, and policemen on the platform. They all gathered near the float car to organize a defense line. However, the platform was too open and there was almost nothing to defend.
A place of cover.[ ]
This time Yuan Su went south with more than a hundred soldiers. Some of the soldiers had already boarded the first few carriages, while other soldiers were still on guard outside the station. When the gunfight broke out, the soldiers in the first few carriages hurriedly
They ran to support, but because they were worried about the weapon misfiring and the bullets were not loaded, they were unable to counterattack quickly for a while. As for the soldiers outside the train station, the road was blocked by the panicked and fleeing crowd, so they could only move slowly.
Crowd in.
Du Yu got in the car after Yuan Su got on the car. Yuan Su glanced at the people in the car. Except for Song Jiaoren, there were several attendants. These people all looked panicked.
"Du Yu, protect Mr. Song. Throw a pistol over here." Yuan Su shouted to Du Yu loudly.
Du Yu didn't have time to reply, so he just kept his mouth shut while Yuan Su ordered him to do things. He first pulled out one of his pistols and threw it in front of Yuan Su, and then ran to Song Jiaoren to protect him.
"If anything happens to Mr. Song, I'll ask you for it." Yuan Su dropped these words and ran to the front along the car's edge. He took a deep breath and slowly leaned out half way along the window.
He looked out. From his position, he could see all the exchange of fire on the platform. He saw about eight or nine gunmen in the chaotic crowd attacking the carriage, most of them holding a Mauser pistol in each hand.
, there are also two people carrying long rifles.
It stands to reason that such a group of people cannot be the opponent of more than 40 military police. However, because the scene was too chaotic, these gunmen hid behind the crowd to preemptively strike, and suddenly gained the upper hand.
However, Yuan Su did not worry too much. It was simply wishful thinking for such a few people to break through the defense lines of so many military police. It wouldn't take long, even if there was no support from outside, the military and police here alone would have solved the problem, and even more
Not to mention the support from outside, the soldiers in the front half of the train were also surrounding them from behind. These people were already like trapped animals.
It's just that he kept muttering in his heart. He never expected that even if he was so well-defended, a killer would show up. It was really unbelievable. What's more, there seemed to be only one killer who assassinated Song Jiaoren in history, but today there were so many more people.
, who is it that must put Song Jiaoren to death?
Just when he was full of doubts, a very familiar shout suddenly came from the platform. The shouter was a woman.
"Kill Yuan Thief and avenge my father. Even if we die together today, we will not hesitate."
After hearing this shout, Yuan Su couldn't help but be startled, and quickly looked in the direction of the sound. He saw a slender figure standing near a wall pillar in the middle of the platform. The person was wearing a lean outfit, although there were some
Although he was disguised, he could still see the demeanor of walking in the world. This person was none other than Yu Xiaoyu.
He was in vain astonishment, and then he remembered that he had glimpsed a familiar figure at the station door, and it turned out to be Yu Xiaoyu. However, what surprised him even more was that he never expected that Yu Xiaoyu would come to launch the attack.
Assassin attacks!
Could it be that these people are not here to assassinate Song Jiaoren at all, but to assassinate me? Yuan Su thought to himself secretly, feeling a cold sweat on his back, and at the same time, as if a five-flavor bottle had been knocked over in his chest, he felt like everything was gone.
Mixed in it, it is complicated and irritating.[ ]
I really don’t know what Yu Xiaoyu is thinking in his mind. Even if he accidentally killed his father in Shanhaiguan, there was a reason for it. What’s more, he had already taken a huge risk to let Yu Xiaoyu go.
Tit for tat, everyone is supposed to be even, why would Yu Xiaoyu go all the way to Shanghai to assassinate someone out of his mind?
Thinking of this, Yuan Su couldn't help but feel that this matter was too strange. If Yu Xiaoyu really just wanted to avenge his father, he could find opportunities in Luanzhou, Beijing, or Tianjin.
Let's start. But why didn't the other party choose anywhere but Shanghai? And it was the day he sent Song Jiaoren north?
You must know that not only is the security tight on this day, but also the Yu family is a powerful force outside the customs. It can be said that they are unfamiliar with the place in Shanghai, which is completely unfavorable for taking action! Even if they have a little common sense, when Yuan Su and his party return to Beijing,
Or it would be much better to attack while the train is in motion than at the station.
Thinking of this, he felt that it was necessary to track down Yu Xiaoyu. Of course, on the other hand, he had never thought of treating Yu Xiaoyu as an enemy. Ever since they first met in Luanzhou,
On the contrary, he admired this little girl from the world very much. She was daring to do things without any pretense. She was simply a unique woman in this era.
Immediately, he ran along the carriage to the door and shouted loudly to the outside: "Chen Gongtai, stay alive, stay alive!"
Chen Wennian, who was fighting fiercely outside, heard the shouts. Although he felt that the current situation was so critical, the assassination was a major matter after all, and it was indeed necessary to investigate clearly. So he immediately issued an order to the surrounding military and police soldiers.
Leave one or two alive. Since there are many people on your side, it is easy to capture a few alive by slowly attacking them, or by consuming all the opponent's bullets.
After a few minutes, soldiers from other places began to join the roundup, and the whole situation turned around in the blink of an eye.
Yu Xiaoyu and the gunmen were surrounded in the middle of the platform. As the number of soldiers increased and the firepower became more and more fierce, the gunmen soon became unable to withstand it. At first, some people were shot to the end, and later even some people were shot.
He was so frightened that he wanted to run away, but he was hit by a stray bullet when he turned around to break out. However, Yu Xiaoyu had a cold face from the beginning to the end, as if he was looking forward to death. Not only did he not move, but he also showed a red-eyed expression.
The stubborn resistance was of no avail. As the gunmen around her fell down one after another, or abandoned their weapons and surrendered, the bullets in Yu Xiaoyu's pistol were also used up. When she was trying to change the ammunition, she went back and forth.
The soldiers behind her swarmed up, surrounded by several black gun muzzles, and someone reached out from behind and pushed her, forcing her to the ground.
Yuan Su didn't quickly jump out of the carriage until someone came to report that the platform was under control.
After a fierce and short exchange of fire, the train platform was in a mess at this moment. Baggage discarded by passengers, snacks scattered by vendors, blood stains of those who were shot, and various bullet casings. The sight was full of things.
There were soldiers running around. Some were assisting the wounded, some were collecting the weapons of the gunmen, and some were setting up a cordon. The originally bustling train station seemed to have experienced the ravages of a war in the blink of an eye.
When Chen Wennian saw Yuan Su get out of the car, he took three steps at a time to meet him. There were blood stains on his shoulders and beads of sweat on his forehead, but his expression was normal. He didn't know if the blood on his shoulders was his blood.
"Captain, are you okay?" he asked while looking Yuan Su up and down.
"I'm fine, what are you..." Yuan Su asked, pointing to the blood stains on Chen Wenian's shoulder.
"It's okay, it's just a scratch. The assassins have been caught, and they are actually those people outside the customs." Chen Wennian said with a serious expression. He was present when Yu Xiaoyu and his gang were suppressed outside the customs. As for today's discovery
He was also very surprised that the assassin was actually Yu Xiaoyu.
"This is something very wrong. Even if you want to kill me for revenge, you wouldn't choose Shanghai." Yuan Su lowered his voice and said to Chen Wenian.
"Yes, it is necessary to investigate carefully, but then again, these reckless men who travel in the world have no foresight. It is possible that they just happened to pass by this place and then planned to kill them all." Chen Wennian speculated.
.
"What's going on with the assassin now?" Yuan Su asked, changing the topic. It wasn't that he was unwilling to accept Chen Wenian's speculation, but since it was speculation, it would still have to be determined through in-depth investigation. However, he also had some thoughts in his heart.
Worried, if people like Yu Xiaoyu really have no inside story and just chose to do this act recklessly, then how should I deal with this matter? Should I plead guilty or let her go again?
From a rational point of view, he really shouldn't condone these people's misbehavior, not to mention that it is such a dangerous thing to take his own life. If he wants to do something big, he must be ruthless. But from another aspect, as a man, he is more or less capable
There are some people who cherish the beauty. The previous Chen Anjie was just not to his liking, but girls like Yu Xiaoyu are very attractive.
"Three were killed and five were injured. The little girl named Yu was also injured." Chen Wennian replied.
Yuan Su pondered for a moment, then looked back at the float, and then at Yu Xiaoyu, who was surrounded by soldiers. He realized that there were many things to deal with now. Such a major event happened in front of him, and both parties were in public at the train station.
It is really very bad to fire dozens of refutation shots. In addition, Song Jiaoren will continue to go north after all, because the time for the opening of the Congress is imminent, and it is not known whether this matter will have an impact on the cooperation between the North and the South.
There were many thoughts for a while until some local Shanghai bureaucrats, military officers and the Kuomintang people who had seen off Song Jiaoren ran outside the train station. Everyone found Yuan Su and quickly asked questions. Huang Xing, Yu Youren and others
People didn't even pay attention to Yuan Su, but directly asked loudly where Song Jiaoren was now.
Hearing the shouts outside, Song Jiaoren walked out of the carriage. Huang Xing and others saw that Song Jiaoren was safe and sound, and their hearts hanging in their throats finally calmed down.
An hour later, the lobby on the second floor of Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau.
Song Jiaoren was being examined by a Western doctor and nurse. Huang Xing was smoking a briar pipe on the side. Several other senior members of the Kuomintang and the congressmen who originally planned to go north with Song Jiaoren had different expressions.
They were very dignified, gathering together in twos and threes, and discussing a few words from time to time.
Zheng Rucheng had already fallen asleep when he returned to his residence. Hearing that there was a fierce exchange of fire at the train station, he quickly got up in panic. At this time, he had just talked with Yuan Su in the office inside. The content of the conversation between the two was mainly about the shooting case.
The investigation, on the other hand, is to arrange the subsequent trip north.
After about a quarter of an hour, Yuan Su, Zheng Rucheng, and Chen Wennian walked out of the office.
Everyone waiting in the hall turned their attention here. Huang Xing took a step forward and asked impatiently: "What on earth are we going to do about this?"
Zheng Ruben was about to speak, but when the words came to his lips, he still held back. He just turned his eyes to Yuan Su aside, intending to let Yuan Su answer.
Yuan Su sighed softly, looked around, and then said: "The preliminary investigation of this matter is not against Mr. Song. The arrested assassin is the caravan I had offended during the Shanhaiguan disaster relief period. But no matter what, this
The matter still needs to be investigated further. In addition, if Mr. Song is not seriously ill, I can still arrange to take the train at ten o'clock tonight to send Mr. Song north, but I am afraid I will not be able to accompany Mr. Song this time."
Everyone in the hall whispered to each other for a while, seeming to be a little unprepared for such a result.
Song Jiaoren hesitated for a moment, then stood up and asked Yuan Su: "I'm fine. If it's convenient, I'd rather go north as soon as possible. So, Mr. Yuan, do you plan to stay for a while?"
Yuan Su nodded and said with a solemn expression: "After thinking about it, this incident happened because of me, and I still have to stay and deal with the aftermath. But please don't worry, Mr. Song, I will let my adjutant lead the five
Ten soldiers escorted Mr. Song to Beijing so that an accident like today would never happen again."
Song Jiaoren nodded slightly to express his gratitude and said, "Thank you very much. I think what happened today was indeed an accident."
As soon as he finished speaking, Huang Xing stood up and spoke suddenly: "What's the accident..." His expression looked very excited, and there was obvious distrust on his face. However, he was only halfway through speaking.
Yu Youren on the other side quickly stepped forward and grabbed him. Huang Xing had no choice but to swallow the rest of his words.
Huang Xing's reaction immediately aroused the alert of everyone in the entire hall. His behavior just now was very obvious. Huang Xing obviously believed that there was another hidden reason for the assassination, but Yuan Su lied about the assassin's target for the sake of the overall situation.
Own.
Yuan Su couldn't laugh or cry for a moment, but he didn't want to explain anything. The more he explained, the more Huang Xing would become suspicious.
"Whether it was an accident or not, I admit that there are still many doubts about the shooting incident that occurred today. The reason why I stayed here is precisely to investigate these doubts. I can understand that Mr. Keqiang is worried about Mr. Song's safety, but please
Don't worry, since I have been ordered to welcome Mr. Song to the north, I will ensure that Mr. Song reaches Beijing safely at all costs."
