Chapter 178 Section 4 Final Conclusion

Hong Shuzu has been hiding in Qingdao, hiding in the German concession until 1917.By this time, the Song Jiaoren case had passed for a long time, and people no longer mentioned it, and even the scene of Song Jiaoren's trial in the underworld on the country stage was no longer sung.So Hong Shuzu thought, should be all right?It's okay, then I'll go for a walk. So Hong Shuzu went back to Shanghai secretly under the pseudonym Zhang Jiao'an—what's wrong with Qingdao, he insisted on leaving?As a result, as soon as he settled down in Shanghai, police officers smashed the door, saying that it was Mr. Weir of the German Shang Xiangfeng Foreign Firm, accusing him of defaulting on debts.Immediately, he was detained in the patrol room of the International Settlement.

Hong Shuzu's brother-in-law Zhao Fengchang was horrified when he heard about it, and immediately rushed to find Mr. Weir with the money on his back, begging Mr. Weir to withdraw the lawsuit. Mr. Weir said: Money is not money, it's a trivial matter, what I want is justice. Zhao Fengchang said urgently: Mr. Weir, if you want to be fair, I will give you as much as you want. It's just that my brother-in-law owes you money, so you accept it first, please, okay? Mr. Weir shook his head: No, no, why should I charge you money?I have told you clearly that all I want is justice. Zhao Fengchang said: Mr. Weir, what you want is justice, isn't it that my brother-in-law doesn't pay back the money he owes?How can it be unfair to pay back the money owed to you now?

Mr. Weir was furious: Are you insulting me?I strongly protest! Zhao Fengchang begged: Mr. Weir, I kowtow to you, please accept the money and withdraw the lawsuit... My brother-in-law is really wronged, if he is wronged to death, he will never be able to explain. It's hard to talk about it, and Mr. Weir changed his mind and agreed to withdraw the lawsuit. When Hong Shuzu came out of the patrol room, he suddenly heard a shout: Hong, where are you going?I saw two figures rushing forward, only heard the crackling sound, Hong Shuzu had been beaten to the ground, his nose crooked and his face swollen.Looking at who beat them, it was Song Jiaoren's only son, Song Zhenlu, and the Kuomintang member Liu Bai.

How is it such a coincidence? It's such a coincidence! Hong Shuzu was detained again and brought back to Beijing.Afterwards, the party members admitted that Mr. Weir was hired by them to delay time and call Song Zhenlu, Song Jiaoren's son.Only Song Zhenlu hated Hong Shuzu to the bone, because he recognized Hong Shuzu as the enemy who killed his father, and the patrol house could detain Hong Shuzu again. Hong Shuzu was sentenced to life in the first instance. In court, Hong Shuzu resolutely refused to admit that he was the mastermind of the assassination of Song Jiaoren. He said that he contacted Ying Kuicheng only because he wanted to join forces with the Kuomintang and use the forces within the Kuomintang to suppress Song Jiaoren. The emperor slandered Song Jiaoren.But Yuan Shikai was dead at this time, and the judge refused to accept his confession.

Hong Shuzu was not discouraged, and called himself an old man in need, and brought a large number of books to the cell, saying: From now on, I will write books here, and I will write everything I know.Of course, I have to appeal, there is no doubt about it. But it was this appeal that hurt him. As a result of the appeal, the sentence was commuted to hang and executed immediately. At that time, Hong Shuzu was stunned: Is there any mistake?Why did the appeal turn into a death sentence?I have no objection to the death penalty, but do you have any evidence? The evidence is there - a gallows just imported, not yet used.

In the face of this iron and steel evidence, even Zhao Fengchang had no choice but to watch his brother-in-law being sent to the gallows by the country he created with his own hands. Before going to the gallows, Hong Shuzu was calm and composed, leaving his last words to his wife: After my death, don't be too sad to become sick. You must know that no one will die. Besides, I am over sixty years old, and I died for the country. ... As long as ordinary people stick to the word "diligence and thrift", everything will be happy.In the past, the old lady took care of the orphan at the age of 20. During the past 30 years, she was extremely diligent and frugal, and suffered extremely.Now the family is the accumulation of the old lady.To be a human being, you only need to erect your spine and cheer up, even if you want to become a Buddha or a saint, it is not difficult.

But becoming a Buddha and a saint is really not easy.Although Hong Shuzu went to the gallows calmly, it was the first time that the thing was used, and the executioner was inexperienced. As a result, after strangling Hong Shuzu's neck, he strangled Hong Shuzu's head with a plop because of his weight. Beheading is also miserable. This tragic ending became another accusation against Hong Shuzu by the party members.If you hadn't done all the bad things, how could you have come to such a miserable end?
