Chapter 39 The thirty-sixth small study room discussion

Hu Biren and Wang Dujuan were walking in front of a car, when they suddenly saw groups of workers rushing forward, singing loudly.The two had no choice but to stop and let them pass.When everything is gone, move forward slowly.At this time, someone suddenly called their numbers, and they hurriedly turned their heads to look. It turned out that it was Shu Zhongda, the owner of Baoxing Wood Factory.Accompanying him along the way was Bai Chongguang.When Wang and Hu saw each other, they clapped unconsciously and said, "It's so clever, it's rare to meet you two by chance." Zhong Da took a few steps, shook Du Juan's hand, and said with a smile, "Brother Wang is like this." I'm free, can I go into the city for a stroll? We haven't seen each other for half a month since Huifengtang broke up." Then asked Biren how busy he was with his errands recently?Biren ignored him, but took Chongguang's hand, and laughed and said, "You dumb boy, you have been dumb for a few days. Have you never shown yourself?" Chongguang also laughed and said, "Don't say it, but put I'm so bored." Chong Guang just said these two sentences, and Zhong Da's face turned pale with fright, and he grabbed him hard, and said in a low voice, "Why are you talking? Are you kidding me?" At this moment, Chong Guang knew he was being rash, he closed his mouth tightly, and pretended to be dumb again.Wang and Hu were so noisy that it was not good to say or laugh, so they hurried out of the Donghuamen, hired a rickshaw, said goodbye to Zhongda and Chongguang, and went back to their apartment first.

In the evening of that day, Zhongguang visited them.Biren said: "I was too reckless during the day, but Zhongda was too careful." Chongguang said: "It's hard to blame him. First, there are many spies in the palace, and they all know that I am dumb. Now that I speak, they It must be reported secretly as detective material; the owner of Baocheng Wood Factory, Wu Bocao, is a famous traitor, and everyone calls him a bad person. This time I pretended to be dumb and went in to draw, and he became suspicious from jealousy. Over and over again, he asked his subordinates to test me whether I was really dumb or fake dumb. Fortunately, I pretended to be very similar and never showed any flaws. He still didn't believe it, so he secretly sent people to follow and monitor me secretly. Now I have become a private person. Now, you say it's ridiculous." Bi Ren said: "According to this, you are not looking for trouble in vain." Du Juan said: "We revolutionaries, what kind of things can't be patient? Don't say that this is a little unfree, it is Bound to go to the market Cao, beheaded to bleed, absolutely can not frown." Hearing Du Juan's willingness to say such a thing in front of the Bi people, Chong Guang knew that the Bi people must have joined the Iron Blood League Alliance, he was overjoyed, and took the bi The person's hand praised: "good young man, great hero! Our visit to Beijing this time is not in vain, and our goal must have been achieved." Then he asked Du Juan, "what can you and Bi people discuss to implement it?" Du Juan said: "Easier said than done? We invite you to come today to hold a three-headed meeting. I will raise three questions. Please vote for both of you so that we can start to implement it." Chongguang said: "Say it straight, There is no need to go round and round." Du Juan said: "The first question is the purpose. Our revolution, in a broad sense, is the fate of the Manchu Qing; in a narrow sense, it is the life of important figures in the Manchu Qing. We must first have a Only when the individual is the goal can the goal be true. But the range of people is very wide. Who should we use to sacrifice the flag first? There must be a calculation in advance. Please count the important figures of the Manchu Qing Dynasty first, and we will Decide on the importance, first set a goal, and then discuss the means. This is the first problem." Chong Guang said: "This problem must be solved by Bi people, because he grew up in Beijing, and anyone who is full of Except for the important people, he can almost know their history from beginning to end. Who is guilty of the most serious crimes, whose relationship is important, who is a big obstacle for our Han people, all of which cannot be hidden from him. It is best to ask him to give an overview, and we can make a choice , naturally have a good purpose." Du Juan agreed with this very much, so he urged Bi Ren to speak quickly.Bi Ren said: "This is a long story to say. When it comes to the relatives and nobles of the Manchu and Qing Dynasties, almost all of them are wine bags and rice bags. Apart from singing a few yellow accents and putting on airs of princes, there is no long record. However, the inside Among them, there are also two that should not be underestimated. The first is Shanfu, the Minister of the Army Department of Duke Zhen Guo. He knows the trend of the country and the general trend of the world. He is omnipotent. He treats us Han people superficially, but secretly guards against them without showing any signs. King Jing, although he is a little older, is shrewd, capable, responsible and courageous. He has been a secretary of the Ministry of Civil Affairs in Beijing for four or five years, and all his achievements in the police are all made by him alone. If it is considered outstanding. The rest is naturally Tie Muxian. Although this person does not have much knowledge, he has a strong ambition to fight against the Han people. He dares to do what others dare not do. His subordinate Long Zichun, the counselor, is especially powerful. He hides his knife in his smile and keeps his face. He can kill people. Xiangzicheng is always considered a big man among us Han people. After all, he was plotted by Tie Muxian, and the rest can be imagined You know. There are only a few talented people among the Manchus. The rest, such as En Wang Latong, although he has been in military aircraft for many years, has no other skills other than collecting money, so it is not at all worth worrying about. He is the leader of the Manchu people. He is too timid to be successful, careful to be careful, and he is good at showing off his cleverness. He is a useless piece of trash. But his status is too high, and everyone has to pay attention to him. This is the family The actual situation. Although the younger brother does not know the details, but in general, it is just that. As for who to attack first, I have to ask the two elder brothers to study it in detail." Chong Guang said: "According to what you said, let's go first Take care of Shanfu and remove his arm, even if he has a leader, it won't do any harm." Biren shook his head again and again and said, "It's not easy to go to Shanfu! He is now serving as the Minister of the Army Department and in charge of the Imperial Guard. , The guards are strict. In front of the gate of his mansion, there are many soldiers and policemen standing around with guns, day and night, even the living gods will not let them go. It doesn’t matter if you try to force it, and you lose your life. People in the future will have no way to start. According to my younger brother, Shanfu can let him go first, and we can talk about it when we have a chance in the future. We are now looking for a big brain to fight for a while, don't you two think?" Du Juan said with a smile "Although Bi is young, he has some sophisticated meanings. Originally, our target was Prince Regent Zaifeng. As the saying goes, capture thieves and capture kings. Over the past few days, our various opportunities have all been similar to him. This is exactly the fate of nature, how can we let it go lightly? As far as I think, our goal should be decided on him. There is no need to hesitate anymore." Bai and Hu nodded in agreement.

The first problem is solved.Du Juan raised the second question again.What is the second question?It is the means of implementation.Chong Guang said: "We have all the pistols and bombs with us. Which one should we use? I'll let Brother Du Juan decide." If you hit it, you will achieve your goal. If you miss it, or if you hit it, and miss the vital point, it is a waste of energy, and it is really worthless to pay for your life. As far as I think, it is better to use Bombs are more secure. But whether to use them openly or secretly, you have to carefully consider them.” Biren hurriedly asked: “What about using them explicitly? I am the bombed person, you are the bomber, you just need to hide the bomb by your side, when I pass by your eyes, you take out the bomb and throw it in front of me, and the bomb will explode immediately. My Even if the body is not crushed, it will still be torn apart. This is called Mingyong. But Mingyong needs to know how to use it, or if he can’t use it, he promises to blow up others, but he will definitely not hit the target person.” Bi Ren asked what is the reason for this Woolen cloth?Du Juan said: "This principle is the same as shooting rabbits when hunting. For example, if you are in the paddock, you see a rabbit and want to shoot him. If you point your gun at his body, it will Hit it in a straight line to ensure that you can't hit it. Because when you fired the gun, the rabbit jumped forward and let your bullet hit the place where it was originally lying. The same is true for bombs, because those rich men's horses are all fast, and they have the same nature as rabbits in the wild, so they have to use the same method." Bi Rentong Chongguang couldn't help laughing: "Brother Du Juan's wonderful metaphor What’s the reason for the secret use?” Du Juan said: “The secret use is the secret calculation procedure, which is much more troublesome than the open use. First, we must first investigate where the target person passes through every day. , or somewhere to live, and then work hard to arrange it. The most important thing is to be agile and ingenious, without showing any traces, not attracting attention, but hiding the bomb in a place where it is easy to trigger. Waiting for less than three days or five days, the purpose When a person's foot steps on the mechanism of the bomb, there must be a contact explosion, and the person will die without anyone noticing. This is called easy to hide from the open gun, but hard to guard against the hidden arrow. However, this method is much more effective. It takes a long time, but it is extremely safe, and you don't have to take any danger, so you can escape quickly and calmly. This is called secret use. I don't know which method you two agree with?" Chong Guang said: "We only If you can use it secretly, why go up and use it openly? The younger brother said this, not because he is afraid of death, one is that it is not easy to use it secretly, and we should cherish the usefulness of the two." The Bi people also rushed to say: " Brother Chongguang's words are not bad at all. We are not afraid of death, we must die worthwhile and achieve our goals, then we will not be wronged." Du Juan said: "This is very good. We are useful, and we will not make mistakes. Buried in a useless place. Secretly using the word "bomb" will solve the second problem. The third problem is that the various steps to implement this method must be studied in advance, and then follow the steps. We should not be in a messy order, attract the attention of others, and all success will be fatal. Now our chances are finally very good. Biren's wishful hall is the foundation of all our progress. There is also a heavy light that can be used for drawing After arriving at the Prince Regent’s Mansion to spy on the news, wouldn’t it be more convenient to put the bomb in the mansion by chance? However, all kinds of methods have to be modified temporarily, and they didn’t die at the bottom of the sentence.” Chong Guang said: “This floor We understand everything, but there is one problem that is difficult to solve. I live in the home of my cousin Chen Youyun, who is a man of high reputation in the government. Yun was implicated, and my uncle was the only one in front of him. I really felt sorry for him for selling my life to Caishikou. Because he is not our comrade. It ended up killing him. I asked myself, but I really can't justify it. I don't know what Brother Du Juan thinks?" Du Juan said: "You are very worried. People in the Democratic Party must be more moral. If you really hurt him, It is intentional harm, which is not allowed by morality. This matter has become a problem. I don't know if there is any way for Bi Ren's brother to protect Chen Youyun.? Biren thought for a moment and said, "I don't have any magic tricks. It's best to ask Chongguang to leave Youyun's house first. If you commit a crime in the future, you won't be caught from his house, and you won't be responsible for the nest owner."Even if we were arrested, we couldn't hold back our teeth, and if we didn't pull out one person, they wouldn't be able to randomly recruit them. Chongguang said: "That's it. I turned around and told him that there was a letter from home, saying that my mother knew that I was in Beijing and wrote to tell me to go back immediately."This is what he approves of the most, and I can leave today.Let's discuss how to implement the assassination method, who will be the main actor and who will be the assistant, when it will be held, and where to start, let's settle it tonight, don't delay the big event again and again. Du Juan said: "The date can't be fixed. We act according to the opportunity. When there is an opportunity, we can start."Fortunately, there are now two bombs, all made by the German Krupp Gun Factory.Regardless of the size of the situation, the strength is not small, within a radius of ten steps, everything can be blown into fragments. "He said and took the handbag.

His handbag is in the shape of a box, measuring one foot three inches long, six inches wide, and six inches five inches high.Looking at the outside, it is a whole leather bag, but when you open it, it is a Western print inside.Du Juan took out all the letters hidden in it, leaving only an empty bag for Bi people to see.Said brother, look, isn't this empty?Turn it over and over again, and tap it to show Biren, saying, brother, can you see a flaw?Bi Ren weighed it, shook his head and said, "I can't see it." Du Juan handed it to him again, and Bi Ren took it, ahhh, saying that the object is so heavy!Du Juan said: "At this point, I will show it to you later." Then he took it, and first tore off the floral cloth inside the leather bag, and there was a small hole on the left side.Du Juan took out an object from his side, which was a small steel pick with jagged teeth.Du Juan took the steel pick, aligned it with the small hole in the leather bag, inserted it in and twisted it outward, only to hear a ding-dong sound, the outer leather of the leather bag was turned up from the bottom, and the surroundings were equal, neat, and of different heights. One inch and two cents.There is a foreign iron box on the bottom, and there is also a mechanism on the head of the box.Open the mechanism, and then pull out the box, and there are two brilliant and eye-catching things lying in the middle of the box.There are a pair of tweezers and a pair of scissors on both sides, all of which are Western and extremely sharp.Du Juan took out one casually and showed it to Bi Ren.Biren had never seen such a thing before, and he was a little timid in his mind, not daring to accept it.Du Juan said with a smile: "It's okay, this is an organic thing. If you don't tighten the mechanism tightly, it won't explode." Biren took it and looked at it. It looked like a duck-egg-shaped ink box, but it was flat and round without edges and corners. There are also two small holes.Du Juan pointed him out and said: "One of these two small holes is for tightening and the other is for loosening. For example, when using it, only insert the hole at the bottom into the key, turn it to thirteen turns, and then don't turn it. If it is twisted again, it will burst itself. After ten turns, it will explode when it touches something strong. If it is not used, use the key to insert it into the upper hole, turn it for thirteen turns, and then turn it to the top. He won't blow up when a stone hits it. This is a German product, and it is extremely powerful. Sun Yat-sen ordered twenty-four in Germany, which was approved by Kaiser Wilhelm II. Otherwise, no matter who, no matter how much it costs He didn’t dare to make money for himself. Everything that was made had to be presented to the factory supervisor and put in the armory of the Ministry of War. When Zhongshan went to Germany, he had an interview with William and talked about the prostitution of the Qing Dynasty and the purpose of the Han revolution. William agreed very much. Therefore, taking advantage of the situation, he demanded that twenty-four bombs be built, specially prepared to blow up the relatives and nobles of the Qing Dynasty. William readily agreed, and at that time he wrote a handbook and handed it to Zhongshan, and told him to set the price cheaply and only charge the cost of the work. Lieutenant General Jian Lude is very face-saving, and only received 15,000 marks. Zhongshan got this kind of sharp weapon, and he refused to use it lightly. , the other members of the iron blood group, some got one, and some got two. The first Lishi was Wu Emu. When the five ministers went abroad, he used one. It's a pity that among the five people, none of them were killed. , but gave away Emu’s life in vain, it’s pitiful and hateful to say the least.”

Bi Ren said: "It turns out that Wu Xi, who bombed the five ministers, is also in the same party as the eldest brother!" Du Juan said, "Why not? When he returned to China, I was in Kobe, and I personally sent him to the ship. He is so generous and elegiac that Jing Ke will go there." Qin turned around and ignored it. It’s a pity that he only carried one bomb, if there were two more, the trains at that time would all be smashed, and the five slaves who killed the people, of course, would have no room to escape.” Bi Humanity: "It's so lively, my younger brother did watch it at the time, it's so dangerous!" Chongguang hurriedly asked, "Do you know the details? Why don't you tell us to hear it?" Bi said: "The details, although I can't tell I know, but the situation at that time is still vivid when I think about it now. Martyr Wu’s method was not bad, but it’s a pity that the time was too short, so his marbles did not hurt, but only broke a few pieces of glass. The heads of Rui Fang and Zai Ze were bruised, but the rest were not damaged at all. At that time, Martyr Wu was dressed as a waiter, wearing a long white cloth gown, white socks and green shoes, and a tall Liang Hongying summer hat , with a braided wig, looks like a servant. He had been in the third-class servants' room a long time ago, and everyone paid no attention to him. Later, the five ministers arrived, and they were in the first-class car, dealing with the group of people who saw him off. Lieshi Wu was armed with a bomb, and was about to break into the first class from the third class car. The military police who guarded the door thought that he might be the servant of some minister, so they didn't stop him. He was about to go in, but at this time Rui One of Fang's family members, named Li Huchen, came out of it. This man has been in the military for many years and is good at martial arts. When Rui Fang was the governor of Hubei, he was a military patrol. Loyalty, always the same. Rui conveniently mentioned that he was a personal bodyguard. There is also a man named Xia who has sung in Shanghai and is very fast. Rui Fang praised him as the contemporary Huang Tianba and called him to his side , and Li Huchen's servants together. These two people are not only skilled in martial arts, but also have a fine mind. They know the current revolutionary trend, and his master is a Manchurian official, so they are always careful and considerate in everything. Anyone who looks strange will never Willing to allow him to come to the Swiss side. Lie Huchen Wu should not have succeeded, so he met this enemy. When Li Huchen met him, he saw that he was unfamiliar, so he stopped and asked him whose follower he was? Wu Lieshi was in a hurry For a while, he couldn't answer, and after a short pause, he replied: "Master Rui's long class." In his opinion, he thought that the four people who were all used by the Beijing officials must also be from Beijing, and only the Rui side did it. He has been working abroad for several years, and there must be a lot of people from other provinces around him, so he answered like this. Who knew that the answer was wrong. Li Huchen had paid attention to his intentions, but now he speaks with a southern accent and pretends to be from Sweden He became more and more suspicious that he was a revolutionary, so he spat hard and said, "Bah! What kind of gangster are you? You dare to pretend to be a follower and try to assassinate him. If you don't hold back, you will be arrested. Wait for me to force you?" As he said that, he wanted to reach out to catch Martyr Wu. When Wu Jun arrived here, he knew that the trap was broken, and it would be difficult to break in. He had no choice but to throw his life away. He hurriedly took out the bomb from his arms , stood outside the door of the third-class car, and threw it into the door of the first-class car. Li Huchen had sharp eyes and quick hands, and when he saw him take out the bomb, he alsoNot daring to go forward to catch him, with one lunge, he ran from the door of the first-class car to the platform, a distance of more than ten steps.Suddenly there was a cry, like the sky falling and the earth sinking, immediately black mist and yellow smoke filled all directions, completely covering several cars.The people on the left and right sides of the platform were so frightened that they lost their instincts. They just looked around and bumped around, but couldn't tell the difference between east, west, and north.At that time, those who were close to the platform were also injured or killed by the bombing. Even Li Huchen was wounded in his left leg and crawled on the ground, unable to move a step.At this time, all the military and police arrived, holding guns one by one, like crazy dogs, surrounded several vehicles, insisting on hunting down the assassin.The poor and innocent were tired, there were twenty or thirty people, all tied up with ropes by the military and police.The commander of the infantry, the commanders of the left and right wings, and the officers of the inner and outer police departments all jumped into the car and greeted the five imperial envoys.Seeing that both Zegong and Ruifang were bleeding, everyone was startled.I hurried forward to look at the wound carefully, it turned out that it was made of glass shards, not shot, so I was relieved.The father-in-law lost his temper and scolded the military and police for no use.All the officials can only speak repeatedly.Rui Fang sneered and asked if everyone had ever caught the assassin?Everyone said they were arrested.Rui Fang said to bring it over for me to see.The people who were about to be arrested by the military and police flocked to the Rui side.When Rui Fang saw him, he laughed wildly and said, "Quickly release these people. There is not even a single assassin among them, and the innocent are hurt in vain. Why bother?" 'Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, still a little unbelieving.Rui Fang said: "The murderer is dead. These people are all seeing off and watching the fun."If you don't believe me, look over there. ' Said pointing.The eyes of everyone followed his hand to look south, and sure enough, there was a dead body lying on the road south of the car, the lower part had been completely blown away, but the upper half of the body was intact, with a face as pale as snow, lying on the ground with its back facing the sky.It turned out that the military and police only searched the north platform, but forgot the south lane.Rui Fang is a delicate person, and when Li Huchen blocked Martyr Wu from letting him in, he had already paid attention.Later, Martyr Wu was asked by Li Huchen that he was poor. Li Huchen wanted to go and arrest him. Seeing that the incident had been revealed, Martyr Wu couldn't wait, so he immediately took out a bomb.Li Huchen was afraid of making a move, so he hurried to the platform.Lieshi Wu saw him leaning forward, and recognized that he was coming towards him. The bomb in his hand shot towards the interior of the first-class car without knowing it.Unexpectedly, when I was flustered, I missed the shot, and just hit the door frame, and it exploded, but the bomb fell on the south driveway.When it was first exploded, the medicine was very powerful, so the lower half of Martyr Wu was blown to pieces.A dozen people on the platform were also destroyed.Martyr Wu stood close to the south, so he fell on the south lane.Li Huchen fled far away, so he never lost his life.Rui Fang heard the two of them talking at that time, so he knew that the assassin must be this person.After the bombing, although he was slightly injured, he was in a state of panic and did not feel any pain.He was concerned about Li Huchen, thinking that he would be bombed to death this time.Fortunately, all the glass windows were shattered by the shock, so he poked his head out and looked north and south. Seeing that Martyr Wu had been blown under the car, he was relieved, knowing that there would be no second bomb.But he didn't see Li Huchen, so he was worried, so he looked north again.At this time, the military and police were surrounding and arresting people, he looked funny, the assassin had already slept peacefully, but they made a fuss and randomly arrested people.The chief of the army and police came up when he was young, so he asked this question first.

"Everyone was relieved when they saw that the assassin was dead, knowing that there was no more danger. Rui ordered them to look for Li Huchen. They found him on the other side of the platform. They had to find a door panel and carried him to the hospital to recuperate. Rui Fang also extorted 2,000 yuan for Li Huchen. He said to the commander of the infantry and the chief of the police department, what are you in charge of? The dignified imperial envoy is ordered to leave the capital, and you will put the assassin in the car. If it weren't for my patrolling Li Huchen to face him Stop the assassin, and all our lives will be lost in his hands. Five imperial envoys were bombed, you police chiefs, think about it yourself, what charges should you bear? Can the guy who eats on the neck grow steadily? ?! It can be seen that my Patrolman Li is the savior of all of you. Now that he is injured on duty, can this recovery fee still be paid to him? Everyone was slapped by the Swiss side, so they had to discuss with each other. The admiral's yamen and the police department each paid 1,000 yuan as the medical expenses for sending Li Huchen to the public. In fact, his injury was not serious. After staying in the hospital for a week, he recovered as usual and was discharged safely. However, he got 2,000 yuan for nothing. Money. On the Swiss side, it was just a generosity of others, and he didn’t take a penny. The other four imperial envoys were all grateful for his benefits. Some rewarded three hundred, and some rewarded two hundred. Money. This earth-shattering bombing can be regarded as a small fortune for Li Huchen. Poor Martyr Wu lost his life in vain, and none of the people with all purposes died, but more than a dozen people who watched the excitement were killed in vain This is the real situation that day." Du Juan listened to Biren.Unknowingly shed tears and sighed: "Poor Brother Emu, such an upright hero, but such a result! Although the lives of the five slaves should not be killed, in the end it is a clear disadvantage. If the bomb is placed in the first-class car in advance I think the five people will definitely not be able to escape. From this point of view, it can be seen that it is better to use it secretly than to use it. We are about to decide on the second issue, and we will proceed to the third step tomorrow. It is not too late. It's better to strike early." Having said this, Du Juan leaned into Bai and Hu's ears and whispered a few words.The two nodded their heads in agreement, and they parted ways just now, and each went home to rest.

The next morning, Chongguang said to Youyun: "My mother knows that I am staying at my cousin's house and misses me very much. She wrote yesterday asking me to go home immediately. My younger brother wants to leave by the night train today, so I bid farewell to my cousin and sister-in-law. I don’t know when I will return to Hubei this time, and then to Beijing. For two or three months, Cheng’s brother and sister-in-law have been given special treatment. Official Xing Gaozhao, when I come to Beijing again in the future, my cousin will become the Minister of Civil Affairs, and that will fulfill my younger brother's wish!" Chongguang's insincere words made Chen Youyun very happy, and quickly replied: " Well, it’s not in vain that you have lived in Beijing for so many days, and you have changed your temperament completely. My aunt is eager for a son, I knew it a long time ago, but you are new to Beijing, how can I urge you to go home? You are going to make a mistake You may also say that I am afraid of waste and cannot tolerate you. Now that you are voluntarily wanting to go home, this is your filial piety, so it is inconvenient for me to keep you here. I will accompany you to Houdefu for dinner tonight. Once you eat Henan cuisine, I will give you the right to see you off. It just so happens that there is a night show in Guangde Building. Let’s book a room. Please listen to the second entry of Xiao Muzi, Jin Sihong, and Mei Lanfang. Zhang Xifu, Kang Xishou's Eight Great Hammers with Broken Arms, Ming Dolls, and Nantianmen floating on the water are all excellent plays. Regardless of their young age, they are all good at singing and reciting. The two brothers are very happy. You will come again in the future In Beijing, I can serve my aunt and come for a visit. If I am lucky enough to be the servant of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, let’s borrow a place, sing a show, and make my aunt smile, then it will be my wish!” Chongguang stopped him and said, "It's unnecessary to eat and listen to the opera. One is that my cousin and I are close relatives, so we don't need those pomp and ceremony. There are a lot of entertainment, and at night it is even more expensive. Don’t offend others because of entertainment to your cousin. Tonight, I will add a little food at home to see me off. I have to drive at night. Fortunately, there are not many I don’t need someone to bring my luggage, after a meal and rest, I hired a rickshaw and went to the West Station to wait for the bus. If my cousin has any entertainment, please do it yourself, don’t take care of me, we will meet later.” , made another deep bow.Seeing that he spoke so sincerely, Youyun couldn't be more polite, and said, "Since this is the case, I'll stick to it. It's just that you get on the bus at night, and I'll send my family to take you there, so you don't have to take care of your luggage yourself." Chongguang laughed. : "What luggage do I have? It's just a handbag, how can I need someone? Besides, my brother is used to traveling, and I feel uncomfortable when someone greets me. If I send someone there, it should be cancelled." You Yun I have to rely on him.Talked a few more gossips, and still went out to socialize in a car.Chongguang tidied up, had dinner, bid farewell to his cousin, and went out alone with his purse.After leaving the west gate of Liulichang, I just hired a rickshaw and took it to Baoxing Wood Factory on Taiping Street, Xisi Pailou.Looking for Shu Zhongda, he only said that he lived in his cousin's house, and it was inconvenient to go back and forth, so he moved out. One can enter the mansion without delay, and the other has a clean place, which is also good for drawing.Shu Zhongda was worrying, thinking that he painted too slowly, now seeing him fleeing here by himself, he was really overjoyed, as if he had found a treasure.Busily took the bag, shook Chongguang's hand, laughed loudly and said: "Brother Chongguang, you are truly a sincere gentleman, entrusted by others, and loyal to others. I, Shu Zhongda, should be lucky to meet you like this." Good friend! You live in my factory, and the custody makes you happy in everything, and you can’t bear any grievances. I put you in the inner accounting room. This is my quiet room. No matter who you are, you can’t easily enter it. , no matter what you do, not even a fly will dare to come and buzz in front of your eyes. Whenever you want to eat, drink tea, or have snacks, there is a bell in front of the table. Come and serve me. From now on, you can live here with peace of mind. I will accompany you to visit Sanhai when you are free. It is much better than living in Lingqin's house. You are willing to go out of the city to play during the day. You can do whatever you want. Timely use of money, within ten yuan, the accountant can withdraw at will, use more self-management and tell me, I can make money for you." Chongguang heard him nagging about this big article, it was nothing more than a cage for himself to replace He hastened to draw a picture, and then simply pushed the boat along, saying many words of gratitude.From then on, he lived in Baoxing Wood Factory.

After dinner the next day, I hired a car and took it all the way to Guomin Guan Ji Hanqing's house, looking for Wang Dujuan and Hu Biren to talk.It happened that Hanqing was also in the room. When he saw Chongguang, he laughed and said, "Second Brother Bai, why did you lie and move out of my employer's house? Don't tell me you are so close relatives, why do you still have any opinions?" Chongguang said, "You don't know, I There are indeed all kinds of difficulties. My cousin, Youyun, is stingy by nature, as you know; and my cousin, who is especially mean, lives in his house and eats two meals, and is not comfortable at all. Such a difficult life, I really I can't get through it, so I have to tell a lie and move outside, but I can still make a living." Hanqing nodded and sighed, "relatives are not as good as friends! If you don't think it's narrow, you can move to live in Dujuan's house. Sooner or later I can still provide you with two meals for a few months, isn't it better than staying in a hotel?" Zhongguang said: "Thank you. I have moved to Baoxing Wood Factory." Han Qing said: "That's fine, I That cousin is indeed more developed than your cousin." The four talked for a while, and Han Qing left and went back to Bowenzhai.There are only three of them left here.Du Juan said: "I'm going to start tomorrow. I can only carry one of these two treasures with me, and I'll take the other one to brother Chongguang. I'll act as a camera. Don't use a useful weapon to throw it on a useless place." At the bottom of the bag, I took out the two bombs and looked at them carefully.Then hand it over to Chongguang.Chong Guang took it out and put it in a leather pouch with a mouth, which was specially used for bombs.After Zhongguang put it away, Du Juan handed him another key, and asked Chongguang: "Do you remember the key to opening it?" Chongguang smiled and said, "This is something I have practiced overseas, and I still use my elder brother to tell me to do it." Is it? Let’s break up here and go our separate ways. If we can escape from the cave of dragons and tigers in Beijing, we can always meet each other in Tianjin or Shanghai. This is the place where we gather, so we have to do our best and obey the destiny!" At this point, he shook hands with Wang and Hu, and then went away without looking back.Du Juan sighed for a while, and said: "He is a man of honor, although he is a bit reckless, he is rough and meticulous, and he is very responsible in doing things. He is not afraid of dangers, and does not regret failures. A man like this is also very valuable." Bi Ren said: "Let's not talk about him first. Can you do it as I said tomorrow?" Du Juan said, "My brother's method is absolutely perfect. How can we not follow it?" What about it?" Bi Ren said: "Since we have to do it, let's go to bed early tonight and get up early tomorrow. I'll call them first, so as not to make an appointment at the last minute." Du Juan said: "Very good! My brother, please rest Let's go." Bi Ren went back to his room to rest.

Sure enough, the next morning, he was the first to wake up, and after washing his mouth and cleansing his face, he ran to Shangfang Ji's house to make a phone call.Because of his prosperous business, Han Qing kept a phone number at home so that he could contact the business at any time.Biren ran over and shook the machine, then said, "I want 2306." After a short pause, he asked again, "Are you from Longzhai?" The answer was yes.The Bi man said again: "Hey, is the fourth master getting up?" The inside replied: "I just got up and washed my face." The Bi man said again: "Tell him quickly, the Hu Bi man asked him to talk." The inside replied "Yes, yes, it turned out to be Mr. Hu. Wait for a while, and I will come." Bi Ren paused for a while, and asked inside, "Is it the third brother?" Bi Ren said, "Yes." The third brother just got up? Today Dujuan invites you to have roast duck at the cheap place on Longfusi Street. Breakfast is scheduled for twelve o’clock. It's a once-in-a-lifetime show, so we don't want to miss it." It said inside: "Okay, I'll be there. If you don't invite me today, I'll invite you to listen to the play. Let's see you at Bianyifang." The Biren said again: "Qian Come early, don't make us wait too long." The inside answered again.Then hang up the headphones.After waiting for a while, the Bi man called 208 again. It was the phone number of Ruyi Pavilion. He was in the Jiuchou area, but Jiuchou was not in the hall.Then go back to the cuckoo house and report everything.Du Juan heard that Long Zichun had an appointment, and the rest didn't matter, so he washed and dressed immediately, changed his clothes, put the bomb in the leather bag, and carried it close to his body.Then the urging people changed their clothes and went out together.Bi Ren laughed and said, "What's busy? It's too early to go. If you go early, you'll be waiting. They just don't want to see each other." The two talked for a while, and Bi Ren just changed his clothes and ordered Xiao Li to take Du Juan's The door is locked.The two came out together, hired two rickshaws, and pulled them to Longfusi Street.恰赶上这天是隆幅寺开门的日子，只见红男绿女往来不断，各样做生意、赶庙的人，也都齐齐楚楚，将棚摊摆好。汪、胡二人顺步走进庙中，前前后后，俱都游遍。璧人说：“天还早呢，等到一两点吃饭，如何受得了？咱们先吃些点心吧。”杜鹃道：“吃什么呢？”璧人指着一个炸糕摊子，笑道：“他这一份炸糕，又干净又可口，咱们何妨吃上几块。”杜鹃说很好。二人坐在板凳上，卖炸糕的拣了两碟，送到他们面前。璧人又指着说：“有红点是豆沙的，没红点是白糖的。”杜鹃吃了一块，便连声夸赞：“好极好极！这样可口的好点心，你为何不早对我说？”璧人道：“这点心虽好，但必须要亲身来吃。你不亲身来吃，我告诉你，也解不了馋啊。”

二人正在说笑，忽然来一个人，站在璧人身后，轻轻在他肩上一拍，笑道：“老三，你想解什么馋？哥哥请你。”璧人回头一看，原来正是龙子春，还有一个人站在他旁边，也朝着璧人点头微笑。璧人忙立起身来，招呼说：“申二爷，今天也这样闲在，你们怎会走到一处了？”原来此人就是申林，九门提督乌谨的亲兄弟，现充右翼总兵。为人机警聪明，屡次破获巨案，在满人中，也要算一个出类拔萃的角色。他同龙子春，也是姑表兄弟。当日早晨，子春在家中接电话时，正赶上他也在座。他原是约子春一同去听叫天儿，后来子春对他笑着说，戏迷全碰在一处了，随将汪杜鹃约的话对申林说了一遍。申林愕然道：“什么？汪杜鹃这个名字很怪啊！他是北京人吗？”子春道：“他是广东人。”申林略一沉吟道：“广东人靠不住吧，你怎么交上这个朋友？”子春便把璧人引见的话又说了。申林哼了一声道：“胡三的为人，专好滥交。这个姓汪的，恐怕有点不尴尬呢。你同他交了些日子，倒看这人怎样？”子春道：“表面和平极了，并且相貌极美，大有子房如少女之态，看神气不像是革命匪徒。”申林冷笑了一声道：“你们终日拿笔管子的人，懂得什么？越是大革命党，外表越显着温文尔雅。别看相貌美如少女，到了实行革命时候，比赵子龙还勇呢！今天趁着他请你的机会，我随同去看一看，如果靠不住，可得预先想法子防一防，免得你临时受了他的拖累。”子春平日在杜鹃身上，本就多着一番注意，不过是不动声色罢了。如今听了申林的话，益发觉他所见不差，便欣然应许，同申林一起去访杜鹃。二人也是先进隆福寺闲逛。游了一会，也想起吃炸糕来，及至到了摊子前边，不期而遇汪胡二人。子春拍了璧人一下，璧人看见是他，又见申林也随在他后边，不知不觉心中一动，忙站起来招呼。杜鹃此时也随着站起来，向子春拱手，说子翁也这般早，难得今天赏脸赐光。子春一面致谢，一面给申林引见，说这就是我时常说的大书家汪杜鹃先生，这是家表兄申子亭。二人彼此见礼。申林道：“小弟仰慕老兄的书法，不是一天了。难得今日相会，如不弃嫌，小弟备一杯薄酒，就请舍表弟子春同璧人兄作陪，不知老兄肯赏脸吗？”杜鹃到此时，倒闹得进退两难：有心推脱吧，当着龙子春的面，不好推脱；有意约在一处吧，因为他是初会的朋友，又怕有种种不便。倒是子春先替他代答道：“这样吧，彼此全不是外人，今天杜鹃也有约在前，莫如由小弟做东，请你们三位，改天再由汪申两哥轮流请一请，我一定奉陪。”杜鹃道：“那如何使得呢？还是小弟做东，请子亭先生赏脸加入，千万恕我简慢，不曾预先下帖。好在子亭先生同龙兄是至亲，当然是不怪的。”此时璧人在旁，却一言不发。申子亭笑道：“还是小弟请吧。汪兄的话太谦，小弟就依汪兄的话，仍然回敬汪兄。咱们这就到东兴楼去，早一点，省得临时没有好座位。”杜鹃一定不肯，说在下约之在先，岂有临时改变之理？后来高低由子春做主，算是让杜鹃做东，大家一同到便宜坊去吃饭。申林代会了炸糕账，四个人说说笑笑，出了隆福寺。子春说：“咱们与其到便宜坊，不如到遭瘟去吃。在他那里吃便饭，更得滋味，叫便宜坊烧一只肥鸭送来，我们再吩咐遭瘟改作，保管样样可口。”

你道遭瘟是一个什么地方呢？原来是隆福寺街西头路南的一座小饭馆。这饭馆开了足有一百多年了，它却不预备鸡鸭鱼肉各种菜蔬，专炒来菜，喝酒吃便饭。什么叫作“来菜”呢？比如你有三两个人去吃饭，吩咐他买两吊钱烧鸭（京钱每吊合铜元十枚），两吊钱带汤烧羊肉，另外再买一点肝肠肚肺之类，秤他半斤或四两烧酒，就随便喝起来。他的烧酒极有力量，喝罢酒，叫他拿烧羊肉调一碗卤，吃撑条面。或是叫他拿烧鸭熬白菜，或用鸭油蒸蛋羹，吃烙饼干饭，全做得非常对味。或买一点猪羊肉，叫他炒几样菜蔬，也格外好吃。因为他炒的菜与饭馆迥乎不同，纯是一种家常风味，决不腻人生厌，因此北京的王公大员，全喜好到他那里去吃饭。为什么管他叫遭瘟呢？因为他这生意虽小，却专门伺候东城一带上朝的大员。他们也许半夜去，也许一早去，也许散值后过午去，无论什么时候，他那灶中的火却老得生得旺旺的。所以过时去的人，一进门必先要问道：“你们的灶还温不温？”堂倌必答道：“灶温灶温。”因此叫长了，便顺口管他叫“遭瘟”。遭瘟的名儿，从此传遍九城，凡好奇的，皆想一尝滋味，其实不过是家常便饭而已。这回龙子春提倡要吃遭瘟，胡璧人首先赞成，汪杜鹃只好随着他，却从来不曾吃过这个饭馆。四人商议定了，便一直来到遭瘟小馆。跑堂的认得子春同申林，招呼得格外周到。子春也不客气，便替杜鹃出主意，叫跑堂的到便宜坊要三斤重的一只烧鸭，炉油一同送来；要两只薰笋鸡，撕开了拌粉皮；又叫到白奎羊肉馆要四吊钱烧羊杂，多带羊肚，外送一碗羊肉汤，回来洋肉汤勾卤，鸭油蒸蛋糕，鸭架熬白菜，面饭两吃。跑堂连声答应，自去如法办理。少时一样一样地上来，果然样样可口，比吃大饭馆滋味还强得多。杜鹃笑道：“小弟真是井底之蛙，不知天外有天。原来北京城还有这样一个开胃的所在，以后我们倒要常吃了。”申林忙抢着答道：“汪兄既然喜吃这个，明天早饭小弟照样约请，还是咱们四位，并无外人。”子春道：“明天再说，今天快些吃，不要误了正事。”璧人道：“离开戏还早得很呢，况且开场几出戏，也没有什么可听的，忙的是什么？”子春道：“你哪里知道，今天开场还有两出昆曲呢，李寿峰的弹词，同何桂山的北诈，这全是轻易听不着的戏。我们去晚了，岂不白白放过？”杜鹃也爱听昆戏，立时提起精神来，说既然有这样好戏，咱们快些吃，别耽误工夫了。匆匆喝了几杯酒，便催堂倌上菜端饭。四人吃饱了，杜鹃会过账，一同出门，奔东安市场。 进了市场，转弯抹角，来至吉祥园。四人占了一座包厢，见台上的弹词，已经唱过一大半了。子春懊悔得了不得，说早知这样，我们连酒也不要吃，就正是时候了。申林道：“你的瘾也太大了，因为一出开场过戏，连饭全不要吃了？”弹词完了，紧接着便是何桂山的北诈疯。北诈疯唱完，便是德俊如的叫关代小显。子春道：“德处的喉咙，到底比素云亮得多，可惜他的相貌太不扬了。”德处进去，又是许荫棠的探母代回令，许生得方面大耳，扮出来很是美观，又兼他嗓音洪大，真有当日张二奎的风味。探母唱完，便是俞振庭的挑滑车，很卖气力，足打了一阵。打过去又改了张文斌的送亲演礼，把乡间老太婆形容尽致，众人看了俱都大笑。子春道：“这一类戏，得让张二所独步一时，你看他于滑稽之中，却含着文雅，绝不露一点粗俗气，所以难能可贵。要像天津的牡丹花，便形容过甚，成了一只蠢牛了。”这戏唱过去，又要贾洪林的问樵闹府，打棍出箱。直到天将日落，谭叫天、何桂山的打鼓骂曹，方才上场。 听罢这出戏，天已掌灯。杜鹃啊呀了一声，皱着眉头，说：“我有些肚疼，多半是早饭的油腻吃坏了，我只得先出城吧。”子春道：“出城太远了，你还是到如意馆去吧。一者离得很近，二者我在馆存的有药，你略吃一点就好了。”璧人也撺掇，说：“你还是到馆里去的好，我今夜不能回寓，因为隆裕皇太后昨天交下两种画件，我要回馆连夜赶呢。你一个回去，冷冷清清没人伺候，莫若到馆去，同我做伴吧。”子春听璧人肯加工赶画，他心里非常高兴，生怕杜鹃出城，连璧人也带走了。便不容分说，硬拉着杜鹃的手，出了戏园，招呼他那赶车的搀汪老爷上车。自己同璧人跨上车沿，一摇鞭子，便直奔内东华门。到了门脸，三人一同跳下来，子春说：“杜鹃哥，如果支撑不住，我同璧人搀着你走。”杜鹃道：“没要紧，我自己能走路。”此时申林也追在后边，说我护送汪先生到馆里去，好在路程不远，几步便到。四个人安步当车，来至如意馆。璧人同杜鹃进了西厢房画室，子春同申林却到上房，说是替杜鹃寻药。待了许久工夫，子春拿着一个小玻璃瓶，里面有几十粒小红丸药，说这名儿叫救急丹，无论怎样肚痛，吃十二丸准好。璧人替接过来，放在桌上，杜鹃却趴伏在竹床上哼哼说：“恕我不能起来招呼了。”子春道：“你只管躺着歇一歇吧，今天也不必回去，就住在这里，我同申子亭回家了，明天再来看望你。”又嘱托璧人：“你好好照应杜鹃，他想什么吃，你自管派茶房去买。”又将锁门的钥匙交给璧人，说：“今天区九畴因为临时有一点急事，老早地走了，所以杜鹃哥的约会，他也没能到场，这钥匙只得交给你暂时代劳。夜间你多多照应，别放茶房巡警胡乱出入，明天九十点钟，我一准到馆里来看视杜鹃。这馆里除去你同杜鹃之外，只有几个夫役，他们全是没脑子的，见我同九畴不在里边，一定免不了吃酒赌钱，你倒要多分神，管束他们一点才好。”璧人连连答应，说：“馆长自请放心，料这一点小事，我还办得了。明天你早些来好了。”子春说那是自然的，便匆匆同申林出门去了。 这里只剩了汪胡二人，璧人对杜鹃笑道：“今天真是天假之缘，难得这馆里只剩了你我二人，正好下手埋伏，千万别错过这个机会。”杜鹃道：“你先慢一点欢喜，不要把事太看易了。这馆里虽仅剩你我二人，但此外还有夫役巡警，及王府守门的人，也相离不远，倘然被他们看出一点形迹来，这事便大大不妥。总要格外机密，别露一丝痕迹才好。”二人正在低声谈话，只见门帘启处，夫役包兴走进来，向璧人笑道：“胡老爷，买什么点心不买？”璧人说不买了。包兴道：“胡老爷既没有什么支使地方，小的想请一夜假，明天早七点钟一准回来，求老爷赏准才好。”璧人道：“馆长在这里，你们谁也不请假，他前脚走了，你们后脚就来难我。我不准吧，骂我刻薄；准了，你们明天不定什么时候才来。你请假，蒋旺怎么样呢？”包兴道：“蒋旺一准看门，小的已经托付他了，他决不走的。”璧人道：“既然这样，你叫他来，我问一问。”包兴答应一声是，将蒋旺叫来。璧人问道：“你还请假不请？”蒋旺道：“小的不请假，今夜准在馆里伺候老爷。”璧人道：“既然这样，便叫包兴去吧。”包兴得了这一句，如奉到赦旨一般，忙深深向璧人请一个安，便退出去了。这里只剩蒋旺一个人，璧人对他说道：“你告诉门警，他们要想回家，也自管早点回去，好在区老爷也不在这里。这叫作瞒上不瞒下，我何必作恶人呢？只要明天早点回来，别误了站岗，黑夜也用不着他们值更。”蒋旺道：“这是胡老爷格外恩典。他们老早就想上来请假，说难得馆长同区老爷及那几位老爷，全都不在这里，唯有胡老爷是最能体恤人的。他们时常半月廿天不能回家看看，今天既有这个机会，料想胡老爷决不作难。果然你老人家没等他们张口，就先开恩了，我这就对他们说去。”说罢欢欢喜喜地便跑下去，开发两个门警。这里只剩了汪、胡二人，杜鹃笑道：“老弟今天临机应变，办理得妥当极了。只是剩下那个蒋旺，还得想法子将他开发走了，才容易下手呢。”璧人想了一想，说这事不难，附在杜鹃耳旁，告诉如此这般。杜鹃道妙妙，就是这样，千妥百妥，不露一点痕迹。二人商议定了，又过了一点钟，天已将到三鼓，璧人忽地高声喊叫蒋旺，蒋旺此时已经睡了，连忙又爬起来，跑进厢房。才一进门，就见杜鹃裹着一条被子，在床上滚来滚去，口中只嚷道痛死我了；璧人站在地上，只是跺脚叹气。蒋旺一见这情形，知道必是汪老爷病势沉重，低声问道：“这位老爷是怎么了？莫非肚子疼吗？”璧人道：“他是有这种病根，每逢犯了，心胃疼痛得乱滚乱叫。”蒋旺道：“小的赶紧去请医生吧。”璧人道：“倒用不着医生，他每逢犯了，只需吃同仁堂的九味拈痛丸，自吃下两丸去，不大工夫就好了。只好你跑一趟，赶紧到前门外大栅栏同仁堂，买他五粒九味拈痛丸，好解救他的性命。”蒋旺道：“小的跑一趟很容易，只是出入内东华，半夜三更，只怕有些不便。”璧人道：“这一层不要紧，我这里有门证，再给你写一个字儿拿着，保管能过得去，决不至有甚留难地方。”说着将如意馆的门证取出来，又写了一个字帖儿，是说本馆现有病人，急等到同仁堂取药，务请守门军士见字放行。又随手掏了一块洋钱，一同交给蒋旺，说这钱除去买药，下余赏给你作车钱，快去快来。蒋旺见着一块钱，立时高兴起来，说一声谢谢老爷，将门证、字帖、洋钱一齐揣在怀中。又对璧人道：“还得劳老爷驾，将大门关好，小的这就去了。”璧人随着他到大门前，见蒋旺提着如意馆的灯笼，匆匆地去了，璧人却立在门前，向左右望了一望，不觉心中大喜。原来街上黑洞洞的，并无一人。再往前走两步，望一望摄政王府的门前，只有一盏水月电灯，光明四射，静悄悄的，哪有一个人影？璧人到此时，仍不放心，又蹑足潜踪地向前慢行几步，倒看一看避风阁中是否有值夜的警士。走过有十几步，借着电光向里一看，原来是空空洞洞，并无一人在里边。璧人到此时，心中如一块石头落地，连忙转回身来，急急地退进如意馆中，连大门也不曾关闭，便一直跑进厢房。此时杜鹃已坐起来，璧人低声道：“机会到了，快走快走。”杜鹃得了这个信，忙从身边取出一柄钢铲来，背厚刃薄，非常锋利。拉了璧人的手，一直来到门前，东张西望，果然没有一个人。然后向璧人道：“你只在大门内看风，我一个人去做手脚。倘然有人查问，你再出来，只说我跑肚拉稀，乘着半夜无人，在这里出恭，也可以蒙混得过。要咱两个一齐出去，那话就不好说了。”璧人应一声是，自己影在门里边，向外观看。 杜鹃一个人估量了片刻，白天摄政王舆马所经之路，离馆门前约有五六尺远近，便蹲在地上，拿出他那锋利无比的钢铲来，将地皮坌开约有半尺深浅，然后将炸弹掏出来，用钥匙拧了有十一二下，轻轻卧在土中，浮皮用土盖好，又用力按了几按，使土与地面一般平，结结实实，并无一点痕迹。然后又用浮土洒在上面，拿手荡了几荡，果然与原来的土地一般无二。仍然有些不放心，又歪过头去，从旁面仔细观看，到底有什么形迹没有。左右看了两遍，确乎是没有痕迹了。又握起拳头来向土上砸了几下。因为土太暄，恐怕炸开容易，徒然炸坏了往来行人，反使摄政王得侥幸免。务使人的脚步触他不动，唯有马蹄或抬轿的踏过去，方能发生效力。这一种用心，也要算极深极苦了。可是他一边埋藏炸弹，一边还要用眼四下张望，防备有人前来，或是暗中窥伺。所喜前后左右并未看见一个人，杜鹃暗叫了一声惭愧。自想大功已经告成，不可久留，轻轻立起身来。才待开步进馆，忽听啪的一声，有一种物件落在身旁，将杜鹃吓得打了一个冷噤。若问这物是什么，且看下回分解。
