Chapter 26 The 23rd Lantian Jade Elopes to Changchun Prefecture An Daben and Disappears in Harbin

Lan Tianyu hurriedly escaped with hundreds of water bandits, and Yue Shaozhong led the military boats to chase after him.The helpless thief's boat is a fishing boat, which is easy to drive and can go very fast.The warship is an old warship, not a steamer, it is driven purely by manpower, the hull is too big, naturally it can't keep up with the fishing boat.In the blink of an eye, there was a distance of half a mile. Although Yue Shaozhong urged him to go fast, he still couldn't catch up.Seeing that it was not far from the shore, dozens of fishing boats had already approached, but the military boat was still more than a mile away.Yue Shaozhong felt remorseful, and said to Guo Dehe: "It's a pity that I didn't ambush the soldiers on the shore before, otherwise, wouldn't it be like catching a turtle in the urn, and no one can escape?"

It doesn't mean that he regretted his mistake, and said that Lantianyu hurriedly abandoned the ship and landed. The thieves tied the gold and silver on the boat around their waists, and each of them held a quick gun, holding Lantianyu like a mad dog. Mount Lu.Seeing passers-by along the road, he shot and shot.Therefore, all businesses and residents closed their doors, and people on the road also avoided early.There are still twenty miles away from Lushan Mountain.Walking through a mulberry forest, unexpectedly there was an ambush in the mulberry forest, but Tianqi sent Ding Pan Degong in advance to lead 200 troops to wait here.Seeing the culprits running past and seeing them approaching, the quick guns shot out like raindrops, injuring many culprits.Those with minor injuries still risked their lives to run forward, while those with serious injuries had already prostrated themselves on the ground.Lan Tianyu was shot twice in the leg, how could he still walk?He fell down outside the mulberry forest early, closing his eyes and waiting to die.The remaining three or four hundred people were still marching towards Lushan Mountain, but there were ambushes all around Lushan Mountain.It's a pity that none of these thieves escaped, some died under the gun, and some were captured alive.In just one day, all the pirates in Xunyang were wiped out.

Tianqi ordered all the dead bodies to be buried, and those captured alive were tied up and awaited interrogation.When he was young, Pan Degong also came back to repay his merits, saying that he killed sixty-seven criminals in Sanglin and captured forty-five criminals alive.Those who were seriously injured were put aside for the time being, and there were twenty-three people who were slightly injured.In the main hall of the temple, Tianqi ordered Chen to set up an official case, and he wanted to personally interrogate the bandits.I saw him wearing a blue Ning silk two-dragon open air jacket, a green satin square mandarin jacket, thin-soled official boots, a green wool autumn hat, a three-pin bright blue top, and a flower feather. Wearing a pair of large light tea mirror.All the battalion commanders and captains surrounded a large area in front and back, but they were full of official spirit and majestic.When I was young, I brought up the culprits captured alive one by one, first asked their names and places of origin, and then sent them to a certain battalion to guard them.After asking and asking, suddenly a man was escorted, and two soldiers stood up. Judging by the look, he must have injured his leg.As soon as this person went to court, he had a face-to-face meeting with Tianqi, Tianqi was shocked, shook his head a few times, deliberately slapped the table, and shouted: "I see that you look like a thief. Come on. Come on, come on! Take him to my bedroom and send my schoolboy Mo Xiang to guard him. When his leg is healed, I will torture him carefully." Shouting from left to right, he took him down.Tianqi didn't ask any further questions, and ordered to retreat.After leaving the hall, Jin took a notebook by the way and said that it was Commander Yue's report.Tianqi ordered to meet in the guest room, and came out swaggeringly.Just arrived at the living room, Jin Shunzao yelled: "Your Excellency is down!" As soon as Tianqi entered the door, Yue Shaozhong greeted him first, and then knelt down to salute, Tianqi hurriedly stopped him and said with a smile: "Just do the usual salute! Deputy Rong is an old senior in the military, and I really don't dare to be a brother." Shao Zhong was humbled again, and only then did he deeply invite An.Tianqi pushed him to sit on the top, and himself accompanied the Prime Minister on the bottom.Shao Zhong bowed first and said: "The commander-in-chief arrived at Lushan early, and the last general should come to serve first. Because of the suppression of bandits, I can't be separated, and I ask you to forgive me." Tianqi laughed and said: "Too modest, too modest. Brother Feng Shuaizuo Junyu, I am very sorry that I did not go to the deputy army to learn everything about it. This time all the water bandits in Xunyang will be wiped out, all thanks to the deputy army's ability to hunt him down. If you don't drive him ashore, brother There are thousands of troops, but there is nothing to display. Now that the great service has been accomplished, brothers must report to Fuxian in detail according to the facts. Please make a detailed list of those who contribute to your army. All abnormal and ordinary meritorious service, brothers must be invited according to the original plan I will never be picky." Hearing these words, Yue Shaozhong was overjoyed, his heart felt like a stone fell to the ground, he stood up quickly, and thanked him deeply.After talking to each other for a few words, they said goodbye and left.Tianqi sent him away, went back to the bedroom by himself, first sent the night patrol outside the temple to watch, there was only Shutong Moxiang left in the bedroom.After dinner when I was young, it was already dark, and word spread: Commander Tired, to rest early, all officials inside and outside the camp will not be seen, no matter what urgent business, wait until tomorrow morning.After the edict was finished, he lighted a foreign lamp and ordered Mo Xiang in a low voice: "Bring the thief who was under your care during the day to my room, and I will interrogate him face to face." Not long after Mo Xiang left, he took Lan Tian Yu Fu came in.After entering the room, Tianqi took a step forward, took his hand, and called out to him in a low voice, and Lan Tianyu also called back to him.Tianqi ordered Mo Xiang to stand guard outside the door, and if anyone came, they would just cough.But he and Lan Tianyu sat down opposite to each other, frowned and asked: "My dear brother, when you and I were studying in Japan, it has been four years since we last met. Why did you come here and become a water bandit? Fortunately, I met you today. Brother Yu, if you want to change someone else, how can you save your life? What is your purpose? Have you forgotten the oath of the Tongmenghui?” It turned out that this Lantian jade was from Jiujiang, and he was the first to study in the army in Japan. Xu Tianqi graduated two years earlier.The two are both classmates and comrades of the League.Because Tianqi is three years older than him, he is called the eldest brother.When Lan Tianyu was asked this question, she unconsciously became angry. She gave Tianqi a vicious look, snorted again, and replied slowly: "Brother, you said that I have changed my purpose. I am just a robber, but I was not a bureaucrat in the Manchu Qing Dynasty. And I drowned 200 people from the Green Army a few days ago, all of them were from the garrison flag. Finally, I can express my grievances on behalf of the Han people. It seems that you have become the leader of the Iron Blood Corps in vain, and now you are brilliant. He actually became an alternate Daoist, and became a supervisor for Manqing. Who changed his purpose and who didn’t, please think about it calmly. Although I, Lantian Yu, was captured and killed, I didn’t care about it. If you want to say that I surrendered to you by the way, and I will serve Manqing in the future, you don’t have to have such delusions as soon as possible.” Tianqi was sincere, but he was robbed head-on. Brother, don’t misunderstand Brother Yu. You have to know that my donation of officials this time is only for cultivating revolutionary forces, not betraying the Tongmenghui. As the saying goes, “When you shoot a man, shoot the horse first, and to capture a thief, you must capture the king.” Brother Yu embraces capture Wangism, that's why we humbled ourselves and mixed into the official career. If there is an opportunity in the future, if there is an opportunity to raise the pole and the whole country responds, we will do it vigorously. Even if we don't have the opportunity, we can be the best among the people and be enough for the revolution. It is not in vain to sacrifice one or two of the stalks. The flag soldiers who drowned like my brother are all opium smokers. Even if they die, they will waste less food. With the talent of a good brother, you should think of the big picture. It is really not worth sacrificing for such a small matter. Now that we two brothers meet together, we should have an open and honest discussion with each other, and we must not hold prejudices. " Lan Tianyu was awakened by these words for more than a half, and immediately smiled on his face, and replied: "Brother said very well. The most important thing now is that brother has been caught in the trap, and he wants to let me go. How can you bear it? How can I save my life? This problem is not easy to solve. Brother, do you have any clever ideas?" Tianqi laughed. "This matter is not difficult, my dear brother, please rest assured, I will definitely have a way to protect you from danger. But there is absolutely no place for you to hide in Jiangxi, where are you going?" Lan Tianyu lowered his head and thought for a while, then answered He said: "There are many places to go. Fortunately, I have no parents and no wife. I am alone and I am home everywhere. I want to take a trip outside the customs. What do you think?" Tianqi said: "You want to go there Go outside the customs, great, I will show you a place to go. Didn’t you go to An Daben when you were in Japan? I received a letter from him last month. He is currently living on the second floor of the Fuxing Inn, Erdao Street, Fucheng, Changchun, Jilin On the 18th, changed his surname to Shi Zhizong, pretended to be a Chinese citizen, and sold pens and inks for business. You know what he is thinking. You voted for him, and if you have the opportunity to help him succeed in the future, it is not in vain for a good friend. After hearing this, Lan Tianyu smiled and said, "Second brother An is now in Changchun. I will definitely look for him. It's a pity that I didn't know. If I knew, I wouldn't cause trouble. But I How to get out of Jiangxi?" Tian Qi hurriedly whispered in his ear, telling him so and so.Lan Tianyu said: "It's wonderful." It turns out that he is proficient in water, he was the first in the sea bathing test in Japan, and he can sneak and walk twenty miles in the sea, Tianqi knows it, so he ordered him to escape in the water count.Asked again if the gunshot wound on his leg was serious, Lan Tianyu said: "It's not a serious injury, only two holes were pierced through the flesh, and no muscles and bones were injured. If there is a good medicine, it will be cured within three to five days." Qi took out a pack of medicine from his purse and gave it to him, saying: "This is a new panacea for gunshot wounds from Japan. After applying it, it will relieve the pain immediately, and he will recover within three days." After finishing speaking, he still ordered Mo Xiang to take him back in the house.

The next day, he sat in court for trial again, and Yue Shaozhong was invited to jury.Bring up Lantian Yu first, and shout loudly: "Are you a thief, Lan Tianyu? Seriously." Lan Tianyu also stared and shouted: "Whether you want to change your name or your surname, the king of Lantian Yulan is me. You These two dog officials are going to be killed or cut, and they will be sent down quickly. Those who blink are not heroes." Tianqi said angrily: "What a bold bandit, now that he is captured, he still dares to be stubborn. The two hundred green soldiers all Losing at the hands of you alone is a heinous crime, and one death is not enough to cover his guilt. I just ask you, who was it that kicked Jia Yingguan into the river that day, and who was the one who drowned two hundred lives in this poisonous trick? Come up, so you don't have to be tortured." Lan Tianyu laughed loudly and said, "Officer dog, you are really sad for the death of rabbits and foxes, and things hurt your kind. If you want to ask who offered advice that day, they are Zhang San and Wang Si who were captured together with the master. If you want to ask who killed Jia Yingguan, they are Li Liu and Feng Ba who were captured together. Those four people are all your master's allies. Dog officer, you should deal with them as much as you like. It's very happy to be together. Come, come, come! How to deal with it, just ask for a quick one, and don't need to push and ask six times, pretending to be hypocritical." Tianqi smiled and said: "If you want to die quickly, you should die quickly. The commander did not tell you to die quickly. Mo Xiang, keep this thief in your house and keep him under guard." He also ordered the left and right to bring all the criminals captured yesterday to torture them.Sure enough, there were Zhang San, Wang Si, Li Liu, and Feng Ba among them. Tianqi ordered these four to be tortured together and detained in another place.

After three days, Lantianyu's scars had healed.Tianqi secretly donated a platinum horse watch and a platinum watch chain to Lan Tianyu as a fare for the trip.Do you know why?It turns out that Tianqi is very thoughtful and has already prepared to ask Lan Tianyu to escape from the Xunyang River.Only one layer of travel expenses is very difficult.If you want to give him three to five hundred yuan, if you bring cash, you are afraid of showing your feet, and the cash is heavy, which will make swimming in the river very inconvenient; if you want to give him banknotes, wouldn't the waterways of more than ten miles be completely wet?After thinking for two days, I came up with this solution.These two objects are only six or seven taels in terms of weight, but they are actually worth seven or eight hundred yuan in terms of value.Even if the sales were not enough at that time, even if it was a pawn, it was worth two to three hundred yuan, which was enough for the travel expenses to go out of the customs.Lan Tianyu took him close to her side, and added twenty yuan, but it was only a dozen taels, and it was not very strenuous in the water, so she was ready to compromise on everything.On this day, at the time of day when the lanterns were lit, Tianqi sent out another order to single out the five thieves Lan Tianyu, Zhang San, Wang Si, Li Liu, and Feng Ba, who were to be punished in court, and Yue Shaozhong was still on the jury.Tianqi asked a few words, then said to Yue Shaozhong: "Brothers are very angry with these five thieves, because they used such vicious hands to ruin our robes. Now if we kill them one by one, it would be too cheap for them If you go to the province, they have many followers, and they are afraid of accidents on the way. Brothers have thought of a way to deal with it: take advantage of the darkness of the day, and use their own methods to treat their bodies, and take the five Individuals are also tied up as before, escorted by you and me, sent to the Xunyang River, and pushed into the water alive, which can be regarded as avenging the two hundred people who died that day, I don’t know what the old deputy Rong thinks?" Yue Shaozhong replied. Said: "The method of commanding and punishing is really ingenious. Since they harm people with this method, we also let him have a taste of it. This is just the law of heaven, and retribution is not good." Seeing that Yue Shaozhong agreed with this proposal, Tianqi jumped down with himself Come on, ask the left and right to pass the hemp rope, and do it yourself, first tie up the Lantian jade, tie it up again, tighter and tighter, and said in your mouth: "I'll kill you, a strong thief, in the next day. My compatriots, I will tie you up as usual today. This commander will do it himself, so that you cannot be freed, and the resentment in my chest will be eliminated." Lan Tianyu closed her eyes, pretending to wait for death.The soldiers on the left and right all sighed, and whispered: "This is 'the sky net is restored, and it is sparse but not leaked'. Let him meet our commander today. If he wants to survive, how can he survive. You see, if the commander himself does it himself, he may be tied up. He struggled away when he was too weak, and escaped in the water. Such a careful person is really rare in the military."

Tianqi tied up the Lantian jade, and ordered Zhang San, Wang Si, Li Liu, and Feng Ba to be tied up with ropes.With forty guards, he and Yue Shaozhong, Sun Baowen, Xiong Jinbiao, and Pan Degong all rode on horses and escorted them to the river.Along the way, trumpets and drums were played, as if after a meeting.Coming straight to the river, it immediately alarmed many merchants.It was heard that the leader of the bandit, Commander Xu, was going to be dealt with in front of the Xunyang River, and everyone came here upon hearing the news.In a short time, there are huge crowds of people, crowded and motionless.Seeing the riverside, Tianqi and a group of people kicked off their saddles and dismounted from their mounts. The guards had already removed the saddles, please sit on the ground.Tianqi sat down, and asked Yue Shaozhong to sit down with the three battalion officers.Then an order was issued to bring up five thieves.Tianqi said: "Today is your doomsday. The commander should have beheaded you first, and then threw you into the river. Now I will leave you a whole body. Please drink more water in the river. The sun is clear and the moon is white. Just happened to swim hand in hand with the two hundred drowned ghosts from before. This is a special favor from the commander, don't forget it." Before finishing speaking, Lan Tianyu was annoyed, and shouted loudly: "Nonsense, you Lantian King is afraid of death You are willing to be ridiculed by you? Open your eyes and see, and you don’t need to do anything, just watch the master throw himself in.” After saying that, he jumped, and he jumped two feet away, but after hearing the sound of “plop!”, he jumped into the heart of the river early, Nowhere to be seen.I saw the water wave swaying, with a few bubbles, and the surface of the wave was flat.The people looking left and right forgot what they were doing and cheered like spring thunder.Immediately after, the four thieves also jumped into the river.It's really a matter of luck and misfortune during this period. The author of the book doesn't need to say it. Of course, the gentlemen who read the novel can understand it.Tianqi sighed and said to everyone: "These five people are very brave and righteous, but it's a pity that they went the wrong way. Otherwise, wouldn't they be useful talents for the country? Therefore, this leader advises everyone to learn the right profession. Naturally, I will be happy for the rest of my life, so there won’t be such a result.” Everyone applauded and agreed, and then they got on their horses and went back to the shaft as fast as the wind.All the merchants also dispersed in a rush.Since then, it has been passed down from ten to hundreds, and everyone knows that Lan Tianyu, a water bandit in the Xunyang River, was drowned in the river by Commander Xu.Tianqi also reported the facts to Fuxian in detail, saying that the thieves had many followers, and if they returned to the provincial capital, they might cause trouble on the way. Then it was uncovered.As for asking for rewards and opening insurance cases, there is no need to mention it.

Let's just say that the immortal Lantian jade was thrown into the river that day. Although the hemp rope on his body was tied tightly, it was tied with a live button, and it was completely released when he pulled it hard.He was born with two eyes and can see in water.I lay down at the bottom of the river and looked carefully, but I saw Zhang San, Wang Si, Li Liu, and Feng Ba four threw themselves into the river and sank to the bottom. How could they move?Although they looked pitiful, they didn't dare to go to save them, and shed a few heroic tears, which can be regarded as crying for the dead.Then he turned around and swam at the bottom of the river, moving forward, walking four or five miles at a stretch, before slowly sticking out his head.Peeping on the bank of the river, I saw the dim moonlight, and there was no one.Only then did he feel relieved, stretched out his head, and took a breath of air for a long time.Looking at the shore here, it is not far away.Go forward bravely, and you will reach the other side in a short time.Jumping ashore, he turned his hand back and felt in his pocket. The platinum watch and twenty yuan bills were still there, so he was relieved.There is a village not far away, and I decided to go to sleep overnight. I don’t think so. If the news spreads here, the people in the village will see my clothes dripping, and they must suspect that I am a pirate who escaped. They want to catch me again. Sending him to the camp to ask for merit is a small matter of life and death. Wouldn't he live up to Brother Xu's good intentions?Thinking of this, he refused to stay for a moment, and took big strides in the hazy moonlight, walking straight forward.At this time, the weather was getting colder, and he just came out of the water, his clothes were all drenched, like chicken in soup.The sharp wind blew on the wet clothes like needle pricks, and he didn't care about it at this moment, he gritted his teeth and walked for thirty or forty miles.At this time, the sky was already twilight, and there was a faint village on the opposite side, but it was not very big.Lan Tianyu felt her body trembling and her belly hungry, and she couldn't move anymore.I had to try my best to walk a few steps, so that I could throw myself into the village and have a rest.Who knows that blessings come without pairs, and misfortunes never come singly.Only then did I walk to the edge of the village and saw a flat piece of bare land in front of me.Taking a step forward, Jueqian couldn't help himself, hula la fell into a big pit.It turned out that the bare land in front was supported by reed mats, and the soil surface was covered with a very thin layer of soil.He walked away on his own, how could he have expected to be trapped in a horse trap?When I was trapped in it, I heard a jingling bell, and people from the village had already surrounded me.One of the young men was holding a spear, and was about to stab into the pit. Fortunately, an old man beside him quickly reached out to grab him, and shouted: "Young man, don't do it! You see, he is alone. We don’t have any weapons, so maybe we’re traveling alone and got caught in it by mistake. If we don’t ask and understand, we will murder and assassinate people. If we kill people by mistake, don’t you want to make up for it?” A few words stopped the young man, and then he asked in the pit Said: "Man Wuna, what are you doing in my village at five o'clock? Could it be that you want to steal?" Lan Tianyu was quick to get wise, knelt down to the old man in the pit, and cried, "Old man! Old man! My surname is Hua, and my name is Hua Murong. I am a porcelain seller. Yesterday I sold a boatload of porcelain from Jingdezhen, and I was going to sell it to the provincial capital. Unexpectedly, in the middle of the night, I encountered a pirate’s boat patrolling in the Xunyang River, so I jumped They came on our ship and asked for gold and silver. I said that there were only porcelain goods, but no gold and silver. They didn't believe me, so they searched the ship once, and he confiscated all the remaining one hundred and seventy yuan from my sales. He Still unwilling to be reconciled, he told the boatman that there was a shortage of porcelain in the water village of the king, and asked the boatman to take the cargo away with him. I begged repeatedly, but he was annoyed, and he drew out his sharp knife to cut him head-on. I Turned over and jumped into the water, fortunately he was not killed by him. They thought I must be buried in the belly of the fish, so they sailed away together. Fortunately, I practiced water skills when I was young, and escaped by lying on the bottom of the river, so I finally ran to the shore. They saw them, shot them to death with guns, and ran forward overnight. They walked for a long time, and finally saw Guizhuang. They really hoped to throw themselves here, begging for a drink of hot water, and roasting their wet clothes. I was trapped in the net again. From this point of view, the life of the villain is not to be survived, so I might as well ask that young master to shoot me to death." After saying that, he burst into tears.

In the end, it was the elderly who had a kind heart and a soft face. Hearing this set of words, he couldn't bear it, and hurriedly replied: "Officer Hua Ke, don't be sad, go to my old man's house to rest first." The rope pulls Lantian Yu up.It's really pitiful to see that all his clothes are stained on his body and he is shivering from the cold.The old man took his hand and walked in front, and the crowd followed behind.When he came to a thatched hut, the old man told the young man who had just held the spear to get a set of dry clothes for him to change into. He also told him to boil water to cook hot porridge, so that he could eat some to keep him warm.Lan Tianyu is an extremely sophisticated person. When changing clothes, she took out her platinum watch and sighed: "More than a hundred yuan and more than a thousand silver goods have been robbed, and only this iron watch is left. Watch, it's not worth three yuan." After saying that, she wiped her tears again.The old man enlightened him a bit, saying: "If you keep this life, you will earn money in the future. Young people, why should you be so narrow-minded." Lan Tianyu thanked him a lot, and asked the old man for his last name.The old man said: "My surname is Ma Xingsi. Because of how old I am, everyone in this village calls me Master Ma Si. The young man who just held the spear is my grandson, named Ma Baolin. Although our small village The population is small, but there are certain regulations. Because the bandits and water bandits have been raging a lot recently, and bandits often come to spy on them, so setting up this trap is just a precautionary measure. I didn’t expect the guests to fall into the trap by mistake. You don’t have to do it today. Let's go, rest here for a day, and it's not too late to go on the road tomorrow morning." Lan Tianyu said: "Cheng Daddy loves you so wrongly, and I am so grateful for the desperation. But I am so desperate to return home, and disturb the old man for breakfast, I have to get up immediately. If there is any progress in the future, I will come to knock on the door and thank you." Seeing that he refused to stay for a long time, Ma Si's father couldn't stop him, so he urged his family to cook the meal.After Lantianyu had a full meal, the coldness in her heart was immediately dissipated, and her spirit suddenly felt strong.Before leaving, kowtow to the old man to express his thanks.He also said that he was traveling alone, without a self-defense guy, and asked the old man to reward him with a piece of equipment.Father Ma agreed repeatedly, and took out a stick from his bedroom and handed it to Lan Tianyu, saying: "This stick is extraordinary. It is a kind of betel nut wood from Penang Island in Nanyang. It is not afraid of fire or chopping, and it is soft and not brittle. It will never be broken. These are dozens of handles that I brought back when I went to Nanyang for business in the past, and there is not much left except for giving away. It is an excellent weapon for you to carry with you." Lan Tianyu took it over, and Thank you.

Then leave the village and drive forward along the main road.My own plan: I still have to take the river cruise to Shanghai first, and when I arrive in Shanghai, I will take off the gold watch and then make a plan to close it.Fortunately, he had been prepared for a long time, and he had a mask and a fake beard by his side, which they could not do without when they were green forests.Once he failed, he could change his appearance and escape early.At this time, it is used, and after dressing up, it turns into an old guest in his fifties.After buying the riverboat, I went to Shanghai and lived in an inn.I thought that brother Xu gave me this precious item, if I pawn it, I may not be able to get two hundred yuan.Why don't you sell him, so you can make up a few more paper fees. If you make any progress in the future, you can just buy another copy and give it back to him.After making up my mind, I went to look for a big watch shop on the road, and later found Youwei foreign company. I took it in and looked at it. I was seen by an American present, and I cherished it very much.According to him, this is indeed a platinum watch from Sweden.The real value of this watch is two hundred dollars;But this is the value of buying that day. If you sell it today, you can only give you 600 Chinese dollars, and no one wants more.Lan Tianyu thought about it, six hundred is not too little, so he sold it to the American.The American was very happy, saying that he was honest, and gave him an extra fifty yuan.The two began to gossip, and Lan Tianyu said that he was going to visit friends outside the pass.The American smiled and said: "It's wonderful. I will be in Dalian within three days, selling some Russian goods. You'd better go on the same boat with me. When you arrive in Dalian, you can take the train again. You can go anywhere you want." Lan Tianyu Overjoyed, I asked the Americans for their first and last names.The American smiled and said: "My surname is Ge, and my name is Ge De. In recent years, I have often communicated with Chinese people, so I can also speak the language of your country. If you don't mind, you can come to my apartment and let's talk. , wouldn’t it be good?” Lan Tianyu agreed, and dragged the American to her hotel to settle the accounts.Fortunately, I had no luggage, so I went to the American apartment together. It turned out to be the home of an American missionary in the British Concession.Gord let him into a room, and the two talked for a while.Suddenly, a man walked in from the outside. He was about forty years old, with a black beard covering his mouth, wearing a suit and a doctor's hat.

Lan Tianyu didn't look at it, but he was taken aback when he saw it, and thought, isn't this the leader of our old Tongmenghui?Why are you here?He only looked at the doctor with both eyes, but he didn't know that the doctor was panicked by him, turned his head and walked out.Lan Tianyu stood up involuntarily, chased outside the house, and shouted: "Mr. Sun! Dr. Sun! Don't you recognize me? Why did you leave when we met?" The people in front became more and more frightened when they heard him say his real name. Go fast.Seeing him chasing Dr. Sun, Gold in the house thought he was a detective sent by the government, so he quickly pulled out his pistol and chased him outside.At this moment, Lan Tianyu had already chased past the building around the corner. Seeing that Dr. Sun still refused to stop, he said loudly: "Mr. Sun, I am Lan Tianyu, an old friend of our League, why don't you know me?" The gentleman stopped when he heard his real name and surname, turned his head, looked at it carefully again, shook his head constantly, and said, "Your face is not Lantianyu, why do you pretend to be him?" Without turning his head, he brushed his hand over his face, then put it in his arms, then turned his head and said with a smile, "Do you think I am Lan Tianyu?" When Mr. Sun saw it, he laughed loudly and hurried away He came over and took his hand, and called out brother, when did you learn the art of transfiguration, which surprised Brother Yu.At this time, Gord had chased him over early, and after listening to his name, he knew that he was no longer a detective, so he hurriedly put the pistol in his bag.Seeing that he changed shape and his hair became more and more foggy, he also rushed over to hold hands with him, and asked Dr. Sun what happened.The doctor hurriedly pulled the two of them into his own room. He didn't care about Qi Kuo after saying goodbye to Lan Tianyu. He first reported the previous situation to Gord and said: "I knew this Lan Jun the first time. I organized the League in Tokyo back then. At that time, he was the first to join the party, and accepted his donation of tens of yuan for the party. Later, when I went to Japan, I stayed with him several times. This gentleman is a bloody man, and he is worthy of being a leader in the League. I know that he has graduated and returned to China. I have wanted to correspond with him for a long time, but I don’t know his address. I met here today unexpectedly, which can be regarded as a coincidence.” After Mr. Sun told Gode, he turned around and moved again. Ask why Lantian jade came here, and have you made any achievements in the past four or five years.Lan Tianyu sighed and said: "It's hard to say. After I returned to China, with my diploma, I wanted to serve in this province and fool around in the military for a few years. If I have military power, we can achieve our revolutionary goals. But I didn't expect the governor of this province to Abandoned and refused to use, first said that the overseas students were unreliable. Then he asked someone to go in to clear it, and he asked for a bribe. The husband knows that my family is not well-off. How can I have the money to be a sports officer? I have to go back to my hometown and try to find a way out Unexpectedly, a catastrophe struck and my parents died. Within half a year, my deceased wife passed away. I had no ambitions outside my home, and I had nowhere to go, so I threw myself into the sea in anger, willing to join forces with the thieves , I have been running rampant in the Xunyang River for two years. Unexpectedly, I met an opponent in the middle. It was really a plow in the courtyard, and I had no way to go to the sky and no way to go to the ground, so I ran here to hide." Sun Before he finished speaking, Mr. asked quickly: "Who is so powerful? I think it is not a banner official who abused our Han nationality, but a Han thief who is loyal to the Manchu Qing." Lan Tianyu shook his head again and again, and waved his hands: "Wrong, wrong Well, your husband would not have guessed it in ten thousand years. If you want to mention this person, he is really famous, and he is worthy of being the first member of the League." Mr. Sun was very surprised: "Who is it? Why is the leader of the League going to help Man Qing killed his own family? I really can’t break this stuffy gourd, please tell me straight up!” Lan Tianyu laughed and said, “I’m sure you can’t guess Mr. Sun. This person is not him, it’s the Tongmenghui Xu Tianqi, the initiator of the Iron Blood Group, the leader of the iron blood group, and your noble fellow countryman Xu Tianqi." Before Lan Tianyu finished speaking, an old doctor jumped up angrily, and shouted: "It's unreasonable, it's unreasonable! I really mean it!" Some people don't believe it, don't misjudge people." Lan Tianyu said seriously: "I haven't misjudged." Mr. Sun said: "That's strange, he is an official in Jiangxi, I know. He was in Jiangxi two months ago. He also gave me an English letter, which was handed over by Tuo'an Daben, which described his current situation. It said that the revolution in Jiangxi was carried out secretly, and it was quite smooth. At present, we have an excellent inside line. Ventilation up and down, sooner or later, we can take advantage of it. He must take a piece of land in Jiangxi, which is the birthplace of our revolutionaries. Since he said this to me, why did he help the bannermen to self-mutilate their own kind? He is trustworthy, and he will never betray. If you really betray, brother, you will die." This sentence made Lan Tianyu nod and sigh in admiration: "Mr. Sun, you really deserve to be an old revolutionist. Hurry up. Your words are as if you saw the situation with your own eyes, so it’s not admirable." Then he told how Tianqi met him at night, how he talked with each other, how he made a plan to let him escape, and how he gave him a gift. Platinum watch chain, all kinds of situations are described in detail.Mr. Sun applauded and said: "How? I have a close relationship with Bo Xi, and we know it very well." At this moment, Gode heard Lan Tianyu's words, and hurriedly ran back to his room to put the gold watch and watch chain together He took it, and said to Lan Tianyu with both hands: "Since it belongs to Mr. Xu, how can I take it? The foreign money I just gave to your husband as travel expenses. Although we met by chance, we are like-minded with Dr. Sun. They are all a family. What is a few hundred dollars?" Where would Lan Tianyu accept it?Said: "You are so serious, didn't I intend to play tricks, and asked others to look at it, wouldn't it become a piece of strip?" Gold said: "If you don't accept it, it is obvious that I am a foreigner, and I am not as close as Mr. Xu. If you want You know, my friendship with Dr. Sun is no farther than that of Mr. Xu, so just accept it honestly." Lan Tianyu was in a dilemma.High or low, it was Dr. Sun who came up with the idea, saying that this watch would be stored in Mr. Ge's hands for the time being, and it would be the same to hand it over to Bo Xi after meeting Bo Xi.Lan Tianyu applauded, saying that this idea is the best, so let's do it this way!Gord couldn't say anything more, so he had to put it in his pocket again.Mr. Sun ordered dinner to be served, and the three of them sat down and drank together.Lan Tianyu asked An Daben's whereabouts again, and said that Mr. Cai had said that Bo Xi had a letter to be forwarded by him. Guess where he is now, Mr. must know.Mr. Sun didn't answer, he sighed first, and then said: "Although An Daben is a citizen of the three Koreas, he can be a model for the people of our country. He is a Catholic believer, and he keeps strict discipline on weekdays. He is really worthy of praise. Don't say anything wrong, don't do anything wrong, he is finally a gentleman in society who cleans himself and loves others, and he is courageous and courageous. Since the fall of North Korea, he has been crying blood, and he never forgets to restore the motherland. But there are too few comrades, and he dared not reveal his real name, but pretended to be us Chinese. Since graduating from Japan, he has not been back to Korea once. In the past two or three years, he has only traveled in the three eastern provinces, selling pens and inks as a Because he is good at calligraphy and can make brushes himself, he is very popular everywhere. He speaks the dialect of the three provinces of the East, so no one doubts him. In fact, his ulterior motives are not to drink, but to cover his body. Two months ago, he corresponded with me at Fuxing Hotel, Erdao Street, Changchunfu, Jilin. But he said in his letter that he would go to Harbin next month. And his letter faintly said that this time he went to Harbin with a lot of Great ambition, if the goal is achieved, but also vent a mouthful of resentment for the motherland. Even if the body is turned into bones and ashes, it is not a pity. I read his letter and was very emotional. Because more than these few words, He also solemnly wrote a line of small characters at the back of the letter, which read: "Furthermore, this letter may become the last circular letter. Mr. Cheng has loved you so much, I can't repay you. I hope to keep this handwriting. When I see the letter in the future, If you see me, too." He never mentioned what he was planning, so I was very worried and wanted to visit him in the three provinces in the Northeast. If we could meet, I would like to find out the details. If it is possible to do it If there is room for negotiation, I don't want him to sacrifice lightly. What do you think, brother?" Lan Tianyu sighed after hearing this: "Why is it true what you say, sir? I think so too Well. Since my husband is going to see him, why don’t you take me with you and let’s go together? If I can see him, if there is someone to help me, I will not refuse.” Picking up his thumb, he repeatedly praised: "Good friend, good guy!" Even Mr. Sun laughed.

三人正在高谈阔论，忽然帘笼启处进来一人，一进门便哈哈大笑道：“我今天真可称不速之客了。”孙先生见着这位，仿佛见了亲人一般，立刻站起来同他握手，戈德也起来握手。蓝田玉见此人生得面如少女，只是太瘦弱些，仿佛在什么地方见过此人，只是急切间想不起来。只好也站起来，想同他握手。谁知此人却认得蓝田玉，脱口便喊着他的号叫道：“秀生！你是什么时候来的？今天可称得小聚义了。”说罢抢过来同蓝田玉握手。蓝田玉灵机一动，才想起便是大名鼎鼎的宋樵夫，自己也不觉哑然失笑道：“原来是樵哥，我这脑子可真坏透了。”二人握过手，宋樵夫也入了座。戈德便给他斟酒，樵夫也不逊让，一连饮了三杯白兰地，方才开口先问蓝田玉什么时候到的上海，近年做何事业。蓝田玉又略略地说了一遍，樵夫叹道：“我那伯锡大哥也算得智勇深沉了。”回过头来又对孙先生道：“东三省之行可以作罢了。”孙先生诧异道：“这是什么道理呢？”樵夫道：“天下事不到一处，不知一处。幸亏先生谨慎，没敢以身试险，先派我到东三省，做了一回探马。要不然，便真真陷入网里去了。”大家忙问东三省近况何如？樵夫又饮了一杯酒，才慢慢答道：“东三省的情形与前二年又迥不相同了。前二年增祺做将军，他是一个无能之人，胡子闹得很凶，他既不能剿，又不能抚，终日敷衍了事，所以胡子横行。就是我们这一班革命家也有立足之地。如果同胡子勾连好了，倒很有机会可乘。没想到自去年冬天，将军换了宋耳顺，这个东西，就很难缠的。又添上一个东边道张和銮，此人是行伍出身，能上马剿贼，下马划策。彼此拿定主意，专门与我们革命家为难。胡奴又嘉奖他们，因此他们益发放手去做。最近两件事情，提起来真叫人灰心丧气。”众人忙问什么事情，樵夫叹道：“当日北京大学堂被革的两个学生，一个叫张容，一个叫潘智谦，这二人孙先生总应当还记得吧？”博士忙答道：“怎么不记得，这全是我们同盟会中的健全分子。听说潘智谦被革之后，已经埋头不出。这也怨不得他，因为他家中有老亲在堂，再迟几年出头，也还不晚。那个张容是奉天人，听说他被革回家，仍然进行革命，不肯罢手，却不知他近况何如？” 樵夫听到这里，将手中一杯白兰地酒完全淋在地下，高声唤道：“张容之魂，张容之魂，魂兮归来，魂兮归来。”孙博士一听这几句话，登时脸上颜色惨变，手中的玻璃杯不知不觉扔在地下，摔了一个粉碎。忙问樵夫道：“你你你快说，张容怎么样了？”樵夫此时早滴下几点英雄泪来，哽咽说道：“可怜这位烈士被恶官僚暗算了，已经不在人世了。”樵夫的话尚未说完，孙博士早已放声大哭，哭着说道：“他一个人是东三省革命的种子，他既不在，我们对于东三省的希望便算完全断绝了，但不知他是怎么被人害的。”樵夫道：“一言难尽。张容在东三省本是富家，他又好客，平日在他家吃闲饭的说不下二三百人。他是往者不追，来的不拒。他家中有快枪二百支，原为防备胡子，后来他回到家中专与胡子结交，彼此往来得很是密切，因此快枪倒用不着了。在他的意思本想联络一班胡子，遇着机会，便可以揭竿起事。却没料宋耳顺招抚了一帮胡子，内中有与张容接近的，便完全卖了底。宋耳顺得知此信，便小题大做，秘密地申奏清廷，说张容是一个胡子头儿，若不剪灭此人，将来必为大害。清廷见了此奏，吓得屁滚尿流，立时便传了一道密旨，限于一个月内务将张容擒获正法。宋耳顺安好了根，便同张和銮商议擒张之法。张和銮设计，所招安的胡子仍行投往张容家中，里应外合，先将住在他家的人游说好了，许以升官发财。本来那些人还讲什么信义，平日见张容家中有钱，便涎垂三尺，只是碍于情面，不好下手。如今得着这样机会，正中下怀，全预备好了。却将官兵扮作胡匪模样，夜间明火执仗，硬砸进张家去。张家的住房原有园子，不易攻入。只因内中有人作线，早将出路入路绘图说明，自然一攻而进。始而张容还不介意，以为家中有这许多快枪，又有住闲的朋友，大家齐心努力，足可将外贼打跑。哪知这些人操起快枪来，不往外攻，却往里打。张容一看情形不对，连忙率领自己家丁，保护眷属逃生。哪知来的人偏要追他。张容的枪法极好，一连被他打倒了四五个。这些人全想要生擒他，好去擎功，因此不肯还枪。后来见生擒他不着，自己倒赔上了七八条性命，实在有些不合算，这才开枪还击。可怜这位张烈士身中四枪，独自以一人抵挡这一班狐群狗党。他是枪不虚发，直打死了十三条人命。那些人见他中枪不倒，全有些畏惧不敢上前，因此他的家眷倒得安然逃出虎口。可怜后来一个枪弹正中他的脑海，方才倒地身亡，一点英魂不知飞向何处去了。第二天他的家眷回来，这才收尸殡殓。查点家中，所有金钱细软早被搜掠一空。他并无弟兄，只有一位未出阁的姐姐。这位女豪杰为弟鸣冤，告到将军署中，将军却置之不理。听说近来已经上北京，呈诉于刑部都察院大理寺，还不知如何了结呢。这真是一种奇冤，我们革命家的不幸。更有一件事，是东三省的胡子领袖章春林，竟被宋耳顺说降了，如今投在他的麾下去做统领。我们从前对于此人的希望也算完全消灭。听说他投降之后很替满人效力，专与革命家作对。凡到东三省去的，只要口音不对，形迹可疑，多被他们拿去。博士请想一想，我们还能去吗？ " 此时不但孙先生白瞪着两眼，无计可施，连蓝田玉在旁边也犯起踌躇来了。迟一刻，孙先生又问道：“这两件事固然是我们的失意，但是我此番派你到东三省去，一半也为访问安大本的下落。此人现在何处，有无危险，你可知道一二吗？”樵夫道：“提起安大本来，我倒同他盘桓了七八天。他现住哈尔滨天主教堂旁边一个极小的客栈内，终日背着包袱到各家去卖笔。有一点工夫，便到教堂去瞻礼。我还同他到教堂去过几次。每逢进了大堂，不知不觉间有一种严肃之气，还夹着无限和爱之风沁人心脾，不觉令我五体投地。我从前本不信宗教，自经受了他的熏陶渐染，近来很有倾向宗教之心。我出堂后问他祈祷什么，他两眼垂泪，只说早晚叩求上主，速速叫我脱离苦海。我问他抱着什么宗旨，他又不肯对我说。过了几天，他便催我急速回南，不必在此逗留，免得将来受了他的带累。其实带累不带累我倒满不放在心上，只是他想做什么事业，要达什么目的，无论如何，我总想从他嘴里讨出一句实话来，才不辜负这一回的山川跋涉。”樵夫才说至此处，忽见一人匆匆进来，向大家道：“你们可知道东三省发生了惊天动地的大新闻吗？”要问新闻为何，且看下回分解。
