Chapter 49 Chapter 49: Darts Stab Yuan Yuanwen's Tragic Death May 4th Student Movement Zhang San Benefits

This day is the most critical day in Zhang San's life. This day will determine the fate of the country, the nation and Yuan Shikai.Zhang San, an outstanding folk martial artist, bravely chose death at the crossroads of life and death. He did not tell his wife about his attempt to kill Yuan Shikai.At night, Zhang was doing needlework under the lamp as usual. His son and daughter were already asleep. Zhang San was full of thoughts. He carefully looked at his wife, a woman in distress who had been with him for more than 30 years.For his sake, his wife added a few more fish lines on his face and a few more white hairs on his head.Zhang San knows very well that during the years when he traveled all over the world and traveled everywhere, especially when he followed Wang Jinting to the south of the Yangtze River and went to Tibet, his wife did not know how many good wishes he had stored up, and he did not know how much trouble he had; the children were brought up step by step by her. , She is really a good wife and mother.But now he is about to leave his wife to do something earth-shattering, and he may never return, and he will leave her forever, leave the child, and leave this warm family.But for the sake of the country, the nation, and thousands of such families, he had no choice but to do this. Once he came to this world naked, he left naked again.He came to the south room, turned on the oil lamp, and saw that his two sons had fallen asleep, and He Qi and He Ming were huddled together on the same bed.He Qi was muttering in his sleep, but he bent down to listen carefully, but he couldn't hear clearly.He Ming's arm was exposed, Zhang San went over to put his arm under the quilt, and he kissed He Ming's flushed face.Then he came to the room of his daughter Jinying. The daughter was sleeping soundly, breathing evenly. Zhang San gathered her hair together, and a string of tears rolled down his eyes.

Zhang San went back to the main room and quietly changed into night clothes. Seeing that he was going out again so late, Mrs. Zhang stopped her sewing and asked, "It's so late, where are you going?" "I'll come as soon as I go." Zhang San didn't look up, still tied the straps on his legs, and hid the darts. Mrs. Zhang stood up and came to her husband. She saw the tears on his face and asked, "What's wrong with you?" Zhang San asked: "You mean the sky is big? The earth is big? Or is our family big?" Mrs. Zhang replied: "Of course the world is big. The sky is the country and the land is the people. Our family is smaller than that."

Zhang San smiled wryly, and said, "I've lived with you for so many years, and I've never seen you answer so frankly. I'm really happy." "Look at what you said, are you going to meet famous players tonight? Why do you appear to be out of your mind?" Zhang San shook his head, gently turned his wife's body, kissed his forehead, and went out silently. Mrs. Zhang leaned on the door frame, thoughtful, she didn't lock the door, she believed that her husband would definitely come back... Zhang San walked along the city wall west of Chongwenmen to Yuan Shikai's residence in Rongxian Hutong.This is an elegant classical garden. Looking from a distance, there are red walls and green tiles, luxuriant woods, a red gauze lantern with the word "Yuan" hanging high at the gate, and two rows of guards with live ammunition standing guard at the gate. Pistols paced up and down outside the door.

Zhang San walked around to the back of the courtyard wall and climbed up the courtyard wall. Inside the courtyard were painted beams and carved buildings, densely covered with flowers and trees, and two sentries stood outside the hanging flower gate.Zhang San moved lightly to the front yard.There is a flower pavilion there, very elegant, with lilac trees planted in the courtyard.It happened that a maid came slowly with a plate of white fungus soup.Zhang San jumped down lightly, flashed in front of the maid, covered her mouth with his hands, and dragged her behind the incense tree. Zhang San asked, "Where is the President?" The maid said tremblingly. : "I'm Grandma Yang's Fifth Grandma's maid. Now I'm sending Tremella Soup to Grandma Fifth. I don't know where the President is?" Zhang Sandao said, "Take me to see Grandma Yang Fifth..."

The maid led Zhang San into the flower pavilion, and saw a silver-like woman in white silk pajamas, with a cigarette in her mouth, half lying on the sofa in a trance, and a lyrical Yangliuqing tune playing from the gramophone. "Fifth Grandma, there is a concubine looking for you." The maid stepped forward and said, and then stood by her side. Aunt Yang turned around and suddenly saw Zhang San standing there. She was startled, and the soft cloth clogs on her feet fell off. "You... who are you?" "I'm looking for the President, I have an urgent report." Zhang San said, stepping forward, drew out a short knife, and laid it across Aunt Yang's white neck.

Aunt Yang was so frightened that she broke into a cold sweat, and stammered: "Men, you have something to say, don't take it seriously. You want gold and silver treasures, I have plenty here, and you want beautiful women. There are more than two hundred pretty girls in Yuan's mansion." Take your pick!" Zhang Sandao: "I want to find President Yuan..." As he said, he pressed lightly on Aunt Yang's neck, and a shallow bloodstain appeared immediately. Aunt Yang was so soft as to be paralyzed, she faltered and said: "In...in the study." "Where is the study?" Zhang San asked sharply.

"In the front courtyard..." Zhang San tied Aunt Yang and the maid to the bed, stuffed a towel into their mouths, and then left with peace of mind. Before leaving, he also blew out the lamp. Zhang San came to the front yard, and he saw Yuan Shikai reading a book by the window. He was fat and fat, with his big head stretched, concentrating on it.Seeing that there was no one around, Zhang San secretly rejoiced, stepped aside quietly, looked at Yuan Shikai, and took out three darts, "Whoo, whoosh, whoosh..." The three darts were firmly nailed to Yuan Shikai's fat head. ...

Zhang San retreated quickly, only to hear a rapid alarm bell, and five black gun barrels protruded from the window on the second floor, "Bang, bang..." Someone shot at Zhang San, and Zhang San hurriedly ran to the front yard .The bullets whizzed past.At this time, someone on the opposite wall also shot towards the attic, attracting the men with guns.Zhang San was startled and suspicious, he didn't want to think too much, he jumped onto the courtyard wall, came to the outside of the wall, ran forward desperately, didn't run a few steps, stepped on a soft thing, tripped, got up At first glance, it was a person.

The man yelled in a weak voice: "Master Zhang, run!" Zhang San felt familiar, and looked at it under the melting moonlight, ah, it was Wang Yuanwen, she was wearing a pink coat and blue trousers, with blood on her chest and face , a pistol thrown aside. Zhang San helped Wang Yuanwen up, only to see Wang Yuanwen hurriedly said with difficulty: "That Yuan Shikai is a fake, you... killed the wrong one, run away, don't...don't mind me, there are ambushes all around..." Zhang San carried Wang Yuanwen on his back, feeling heavy, and Zhang San's clothes were soaked with blood.At this time, a group of guards came from behind, Zhang San ran forward quickly, Wang Yuanwen struggled, and slipped on the ground... Zhang San had to turn into a small alley and run forward.

When Zhang San returned home, it was already midnight. Seeing him covered in blood and sweating profusely, Mrs. Zhang was startled and frightened.Zhang San didn't speak, took off his bloody clothes, asked Mrs. Zhang to bury him, and then went into the house.Mrs. Zhang asked him something, but he didn't answer.Zhang San drank a few sips of strong wine, lay down, tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep. Early the next morning, Zhang San woke up from the nightmare, and suddenly remembered that he should tell Wang Jinting immediately, because he didn't know what happened to Wang Yuanwen's life.He changed into a suit of clothes, and quickly came to the door of Wang Jinting's house in Di'anmen, only to see a seal on the door. Neighbors said that a large number of soldiers came in the middle of the night and arrested Deputy Chief Wang.

Zhang San felt depressed and desolate for a while. Seeing that the situation was not good, he immediately went to discuss with Mr. Luo Ying again.When he came to Luo Yinggong's house, he told Luo Yinggong the whole story.Duke Luo Ying sighed: "Yuan Shikai's heart is cruel, and Mr. Wang's life is worthless, but I will try my best; I will go and inquire first, and you wait for me first." Duke Luo Ying didn't come back until noon, his heart was heavy and his face was pale, Zhang San had guessed a bit.Luo Ying said: "Mr. Wang Jinting's daughter, Wang Yuanwen, died of bleeding at night. One of Yuan Shikai's subordinates recognized her as Wang Jinting's daughter, so he arrested Mr. Wang Jinting. Because Wang Jinting, like us, strongly opposed Yuan Shikai's proclaiming emperor. He hated it long ago, and shot him early this morning." Zhang San fainted on the ground when he heard it.Luo Yinggong helped him up, gave him a sip of tea, and Zhang San woke up slowly.Luo Yinggong said again: "Yuan Shikai is a treacherous old villain. He knows that many people want to kill him at any time, so he set up some plastic or wooden figures in Yuan's mansion to prevent assassins. You have been tricked!" Zhang San listened, stayed for a while, and sighed: "Miss Yuanwen, she died too badly!" Luo Yinggong advised: "Master Zhang, don't worry too much, I think Yuan Shikai is probably a short-lived emperor, and now the general of Yunnan Cai Mingsheng is secretly colluding with Progressive Party members, secretly doing business against Yuan, and is preparing to go back to Yunnan to organize the national defense army to challenge Yuan. Sun Yat-sen and his friends from the Tongmenghui have been active in various places, planning to rebel against Yuan. Yuan Shikai's threats also come from within him. If Yuan Shikai wants to become emperor, he must adopt a hereditary system, and his son Yuan Ke must inherit the throne, and Yuan Shikai's two confidantes, Feng Guozhang and Duan Qirui, see that there is no hope of taking power, so they will betray him, and Yuan Shikai will definitely become a lonely family!" Luo Yinggong's words were finally proved by the facts.Not long after Wang Jinting and a group of anti-Yuan officials were executed, Yuan Shikai was congratulated by hundreds of officials at Ju Ren Tang in Zhongnanhai, officially proclaimed himself emperor, and ordered that the next year be changed to the first year of Hong Xian of the Chinese Empire.However, amidst the scolding of the people across the country, Yuan Shikai was forced to abolish the imperial system just after more than 70 days of addiction to "Emperor Hongxian". On June 6, amidst the condemnation of the people across the country, Yuan Shikai died of fear in Ju Ren Tang, Zhongnanhai. After Wang Jinting was killed, Zhang San was immersed in great grief. He saw the corruption of the government and the darkness of the society even more. He didn't want to be a bodyguard to protect the courtyard. Wine shop, wandering in the market, living a life of complete seclusion. A few years later, at noon on May 4, 1919, Zhang San was carrying a birdcage and was about to go to the Ruixinglong Wine Shop in the downtown area for a drink. Holding banners with large bold characters such as "Abolish the Twenty-one Articles", "Struggle for national power abroad, punish national thieves at home"; , Zhang Zongxiang" and other slogans.Some banners also had words like "Peking University" and "Fu Jen Catholic University" written on them, and there were still childish middle school students in the team.Zhang San was surprised to see that some students were running away with blood on their faces and some clothes were covered with blood.The sharp sirens were howling, and groups of military police were chasing and beating the students. Zhang San hurriedly stopped a female student to ask why, and the female student told him out of breath: "The imperialist countries do not agree with our representative's reasonable request to abolish the privileges of the foreign powers in China and the 'Twenty-One' of traitorous powers. The Beijing government is ready to make concessions. We marched to demand that the traitors be punished and the "Twenty-one Ones" be cancelled. Just now, the angry students burned Cao Rulin's house in Zhaojialou and beat up the traitor Zhang Zongxiang. The traitorous government sent a large number of military police to suppress. The classmate was arrested..." Just as he was speaking, a military police rushed over brandishing a baton, and the female student ran away as soon as she saw it.Zhang San yelled: "How do you beat the students during the patriotic parade?" The policeman squinted and shouted: "You keep birds, don't play with them, you meddle in your own business with rats!" At that time, another policeman came over, bowed to Zhang San and said: "Hey, the third master is here to stay here, how is your health?" Zhang San said: "This kid's speech is pretty reliable." The policeman's forehead said: "Look at you, that barbarian, he has tracheitis at home (his wife is strict), and he is venting his anger on other female students here!" The policeman knew that he was a 'drunk man' Zhang San, and he didn't dare to provoke him , Angrily left. Zhang San took a few steps forward, and saw three or four policemen wrestling a young man, the young man was about twenty-four or five years old, wearing a blue cloth robe and a camel scarf, with a handsome face, shining eyes, and a refined manner.The young man was arguing loudly with the policemen, with blood oozing from his head.The young man said solemnly: "Students are patriotic, what is the crime? How can a dignified China be divided up by foreigners? China cannot repeat the tragedy of the invasion of the Eight-Power Allied Forces. Policemen, you are also descendants of Yan and Huang. I hope you can stand up to patriotism." Students!" A policeman beat him with a baton and said, "You are still inciting riots, you are so messed up!" Another policeman said: "We are arresting lawbreakers under the order of our superiors, brothers and sisters. Quickly arrest him and put him in the car!" The police swarmed up and grabbed the young man, who resisted desperately and was pinned to the ground.
