Chapter 7 Chapter VII

When Qian Guandai arrived, Bi Hongen, the prefect of Xinhong, was worrying about the news of independence in various places. A piece of "Republic of China Gazette" published by the Hubei military government many days ago, Bi Hongen read it over and over again, and the more he read it, the more annoying he felt. Obviously, Hubei, Hunan, Jiangxi, and Shanxi are over, as are Shanghai, Jiangsu, and Zhejiang. The new army and civilian army in these places have risen for independence, and have sent telegrams to support the Hubei military government of the Republic of China. Sichuan is also unreliable. The Baolu Comrade Association has been making troubles for a long time, and it is now in full swing. It is only a matter of time before the independence of the flag is changed.

The world is already in chaos, and it will become more and more chaotic. It seems that the country of the Qing Dynasty cannot be kept. What's worse, the situation in the province is not good. Every day in the provincial capital there are news of preparations for riots. Revolutionaries from the Tongmenghui and Gongjinhui threw bombs at the Futai yamen twice, forcing Lao Futai to close the streets every day, arrest people and kill people every day, but the revolutionaries couldn't catch and kill them all. Now, there are revolutionaries even in Xinhong City, twelve of them were arrested in five days, and they were arrested by Luying Jiang Biao. Lao Futai gave the order to "kill" and killed them.

Later, a few people who were suspected of being the revolutionary party were arrested. Jiang Biaotong did not report to the governor's office, nor did he let him know, so he decided to kill him. All the people who were killed hung their heads in front of the public under the order of the old Futai, but they still couldn't suppress the backlash that erupted secretly. In the past few days, Xiang has received secret reports that the Revolutionary Party's bomb squad has entered Xinhong City, and they are going to cooperate with the three groups of bandits in Taohuashan and Tongshan to take Xinhong down in one fell swoop and establish a Dahan government.

There is also news that the Tongmenghui and the Gongjinhui are in the sports patrol camp. His nephew, Qian Guan of the patrol camp took out the Revolutionary Party and secretly assisted traitors in rebellion. I don't know if it is true or not? Just thinking about his nephew, a report came from outside the door, saying that Qian Guan had brought it. Bi Hongen was startled, took the "Gazette of the Republic of China", and collected himself, and then said to the family members who came in to report: "Let Qian Guan bring it in, I'm going to see him." After a while, Qian Guan brought in, greeted Bi Hongen hastily, and then took out the post from the Revolutionary Party and said, "Old man, look at this!"

Bi Hongen saw that it was a contact post, not the promotional post that he usually found, and there was a warning from the Tongmenghui and Gongjinhui on the post, so he couldn't help but be surprised. The title of the post clearly stated that it was addressed to the prefect of Xinhong and the brothers in the patrol camp. It said convincingly: "...the hurricane of the Han Revolution has spread all over the region, and the collapse of the Qing Dynasty is inevitable. The Wuchang First Uprising has been accomplished. The arrow of righteousness is on the string, and it can be launched immediately. Therefore, Lord Bi of the prefecture and the brothers in the patrol camp followed the people's will and chose the opportunity to rise up to respond to the uprising when the banner of righteousness of the party members in this province was high. In this way, after the liberation, the Lord and the brothers in the patrol camp will You can still serve the people diligently in the Han government. If you work as a minion for a tiger, you will die without a place to bury you on the day Xinhong is restored... and so on."

The inscription is: the joint meeting of the current situation of the Provincial League and the Gongjin Association. After seeing it, Bi Hongen asked, "Where did it come from?" Qian Guan said: "It was brought by a man named Bian Yifu from Taohuaji." Bi Hongen asked: "What is this person's background? Is it the Tongmenghui or the Gongjinhui?" Qian Guan said with a smile: "Old uncle, this man is a well-known swinger, what background does he have? He doesn't even have the guts to be a revolutionary party. Therefore, I feel a little strange: the post is not fake, the person who posted it But it is such an unreliable thing, is there really no one on the side of the Revolutionary Party?"

Bi Hongen thought for a while: "Ah San, don't say that. There is a saying that 'you can't judge a person by appearance', and there is a saying that 'students should look at each other with admiration for three days', besides, it is the year when great chaos has begun, Maybe this swinger really became a revolutionary party!" Qian Guan said: "Then you should ask him yourself, I brought this man here just because I was suspicious." Bi Hongen waved his hand: "Don't be busy, I want to talk to you first." Qian Guandai said: "Then you just talk about it, you are my own uncle, no matter what you say, no matter if I agree or disagree, I will not talk to others."

As soon as Bi Hongen heard this, he thought to himself: This nephew really had an affair with the Revolutionary Party nine times out of ten, and what he meant was to lure him to tell the truth first. Therefore, Bi Hongen smiled slightly and said, "Ah San, do you think the world of the Qing Dynasty can still be imprisoned?" Qian Guandai asked back: "Old uncle, what do you think?" Bi Hongen said: "I see danger." Qian Guan asked, "Where is the risk?" Bi Hongen sighed deeply: "The danger lies in the hearts of the people." The money pipe is silent.

Bi Hongen twirled his beard, walked back and forth in the room, and said: "This time... this time it's not that Hong Yang is in chaos, the situation is different. In just over twenty days, the whole country has moved..." Qian Guandai remained silent. Bi Hongen couldn't understand his nephew. Walking in front of Qian Guandai, Bi Hongen changed his subject: "...So, someone secretly contacted the Revolutionary Party, leaving a way out for himself..." Qian Guan asked in surprise: "Who is the old uncle talking about? Who left behind?" Bi Hongen got angry, and pointed his finger like a chicken paw on Qian Guandai's forehead: "I'm talking about you, Qian San! Are you still playing tricks on me? Lvying Jiang Biaotong is going to sue you for fornicating the revolution What about the party?"

Qian Guandai was startled: "Really?" Bi Hongen nodded: "Can I talk nonsense about losing my head?" Qian Guandai panicked: "This is Jiang Biaotong who harmed me..." Bi Hongen said: "Even if you really understand the Revolutionary Party, don't be afraid, I just want you to tell me clearly." Only then did Qian Guandai say: "Uncle, a friend from the province came to invite me a few days ago and asked me to contact Xiagu, the female bandit in Peach Blossom Mountain, but I didn't answer. Think about it, old uncle. The bandits have been suppressed for so many years, but in the end they got mixed up with the bandits, what is the point?"

Bi Hongen nodded and said: "It's right not to get involved with bandits, but... but... we still have to save the way. Save that friend, can you still get in touch?" After piercing this layer of paper, the money pipe belt is no longer afraid, and said regretfully: "Old uncle, you didn't give me a thorough understanding at the beginning, so how could I dare to be presumptuous? Now I can't get in touch, and I have already rejected him." , Why do people still contact me? It is precisely because of this that I brought Yifu Bian to your old place tonight..." Bi Hongen thought for a while and said, "Then bring Yifu Bian in and ask him a question." Bian Yifu and Wang Sanshun were brought along, but nothing came out of it. No matter what Bi Hongen and Qian Guandai inspired, Bian Yifu and Wang Sanshun just didn't talk about their connection with the Revolutionary Party.When asked about the post, the two agreed that they picked it up and gave it to Qian Guandai for reward. This made Bi Hongen very embarrassed. Bi Hongen twirled his beard and walked around Bian Yifu and Wang Sanshun for a long time before finally making a decision. He praised Bian Yifu and Wang Sanshun kindly and asked Qian Guandai to let them go. Qian Guandai thought it was strange, and when Yifu Bian and Wang Sanshun left, he asked Bi Hongen, "Old uncle, why did you let them go? It's obvious that they are talking nonsense!" Bi Hongen said: "So, I let them go." Qian Guandai asked again: "Will the two suspects arrested yesterday also be released?" Bi Hongen shook his head: "Those two are going to be killed..." When Qian Guantai heard it, he immediately understood the old uncle's cleverness: Yifu Bian had the real post from the Revolutionary Party, and the old uncle wanted to release him; while the two suspects were not from the Revolutionary Party, the old uncle wanted to kill them in the name of the Revolutionary Party.This way, there is a way out. Even if the Revolutionary Party really succeeds in the future, they will not settle accounts with him because of the two dead ghosts.And killing them can just stop Jiang Biaotong's mouth. Qian Guandai was convinced, looked at his uncle with admiration, and listened to his further arrangements. Bi Hongen pondered for a long time, and then said: "Ah San, this matter has just started, you still have a lot to do! Aren't the two people who posted the post from Peach Blossom Collection? You sent someone to watch them, Once you find out that they are in contact with the Revolutionary Party, report it to me immediately so that we can act accordingly..." Qian Guan responded: "Yes, old uncle..."
