Chapter 30 Section 8 Aftermath and Big Compensation

After talking about the mutiny, Yuan Shikai expressed his sincere apology to the nine representatives, and asked: Have you been robbed by the rebels? The messengers all shook their heads, embarrassed to say that they were robbed.Only Huang Kaiyuan came out and said: I was robbed, I was robbed of a pocket watch by the rebels.Yuan Shikai, you are responsible for finding it for me. Yuan Shikai: I'm afraid it will not be so easy to get the watch back. Can I convert it into money and compensate you? Huang Kaiyuan: How is this possible? That watch is my favorite token of love, and it cannot be exchanged for any amount of money.

Yuan Shikai: It turned out to be a token of love. It is true that no amount of money can afford it. Let me look for it for you... By the way, you have to tell me what that watch looks like first, otherwise I can’t find it. what. Huang Kaiyuan: That watch looks very ordinary, and the price is not cheap. It costs 80 yuan to buy it... Yuan Shikai: I will pay you 800 yuan! Huang Kaiyuan: I said I can't do it... Yuan Shikai: Buy it now, 8,000 yuan!Love to sell or not, or not to sell. Huang Kaiyuan: Deal! In this way, Huang Kaiyuan sold the 80 yuan watch for a high price of 8,000 yuan, and made a lot of money.

Just as the emissary Huang Kaiyuan was settled, another strange old man came over there, with a gray beard, bruised face, naked body wrapped in a woman's floral skirt: Yuan Shikai, do you still recognize me? Yuan Shikai took a closer look and was shocked: Aren't you the imperial censor Zhang Yinglin?Why don't you wear clothes and run around the street with bare buttocks? Zhang Yinglin, the former censor of the Qing capital, cried: Yuan Shikai, do you still have the face to criticize me?It was your rebels who stripped me of all my clothes. Our family of dozens, including the female relatives, was stripped away by the rebels, leaving only this flowery skirt.I beg you, Yuan Shikai, although when the emperor was still alive, I always impeached you and called you a national traitor. I am not wrong, but now you are usurping power... No, I mean, although I have offended you, but you can't even take away my woman's shorts, can you?Do you think so?

Zhang Yinglin, the former censor of the Qing capital, cried out to the southern envoys, asking them to uphold justice for him.But what can the messengers say?Had to pretend not to hear. Yuan Shikai was very embarrassed: "Old Zhang, although the two of us often quarrel, I am not so small-minded.This mutiny is not aimed at you... Zhang Yinglin: You're still talking nonsense, I've been picked up like this, and you said it wasn't for me? Yuan Shikai: ...Okay, okay, let’s not talk, even if it’s for you, I’ll pay you, pay you, I’ll pay you a thousand yuan, okay? Zhang Yinglin: Forget about how much you will pay, can you find some clothes for me to wear?

Yuan Shikai: Messengers, which one of you has spare clothes, lend them to Mr. Zhang to wear? The Nine Ambassadors hurriedly said, "Yuan Shikai, why don't you just pay for the sufferer who was robbed by the rebels here first, and we... go back to Nanjing first, um, go back to Nanjing first... Yuan Shikai: Don't leave, I haven't made it clear that I went to Nanjing to take up the post, so why did you leave? This was the final result of the mutiny. All the provinces sent telegrams to Yuan Shikai one after another, opposing his going to Nanjing to take office, thinking that the current Beijing is not safe yet, and Yuan Shikai needs to sit in charge.

Let's forget about going to Nanjing to take office.
