Eunuch Liu stood up and looked around for a carriage. Yuan Shikai scolded the bodyguard anxiously: "I won't forgive these servants!"
Just as the two were panicking, the two people arrived. Seeing that, Yuan Shikai's heart was overjoyed, and immediately shouted: "Cart, we are waiting here!" As soon as the car arrived, the two of them raced to get on the car. When they arrived, they had already lost all of their mannerisms.
The two coachmen thought that they were waiting anxiously for him to return, so they apologized as they explained, "Sorry, gentlemen, we were late. There were two policemen who wanted us to send them off for free, but they came back too late. I've made the two gentlemen wait for a long time. "
Yuan Shikai didn't have the heart to wait for his explanation. "Quick, send us back to the Central Sea." Hearing this, the two carriage drivers assumed that they were pulling along some big shot, so they were extra careful on the road as they brought Yuan Shikai and Eunuch Liu back to the Zhongnanhai.
As Yuan Shikai got off the carriage, he felt that it was all thanks to the two of them. With that, he turned and entered the residence. The two coachmen took the money and asked Eunuch Liu, only then did they realize that they were calling President General Yuan Shikai. The two of them immediately brought up the silver taels, not mentioning anything about it due to their shock.
Yuan Shikai returned to his bedroom and took off his jacket and hat, then picked up the phone. First he connected to the guard camp, then he connected to the Guardian Office and the garrison outside the city. He ordered, "All of you, go capture all the fat monks in the city and detain them."
After putting down the phone, he turned to Eunuch Liu and said, "They have captured someone. Go and identify them one by one.
Eunuch Liu nodded his head: "Yes yes, this old servant knows, knows what to do. Rest in peace! " Yuan Shikai spread his hands and reclined on the reclining chair as if he was dead. The Eunuch Liu retreated timidly.
Once Yuan Shikai gave the order, the officers and soldiers were dispatched. Due to the short period of time, the news had yet to spread. The soldiers and police did not know what had happened. They first closed the city gate, forbidding internal and external traffic. Then, they sealed off all the crossroads and began to search everywhere to capture the fat monk.
For a time, outside of the city walls, sirens were blowing loudly in all directions, causing people to feel flustered. Some officers and police officers would even apprehend skinny monks, young monks, female monks, and Taoists. Some soldiers and police officers, regardless of whether they were monks or commoners, would grab him whenever they saw a fat guy with no hair on his head. It frightened the pedestrians so much that they started to run in all directions. Fatty was hiding in all directions, causing the entire city to fall into a state of chaos.
A few bold and mischievous young men thought that had entered the city and was shouting in every direction, "Yuan Shikai is done for! Revolutionary Party's army is coming in! "Quick, wrap the dumplings and set off the firecrackers!"
Squads of soldiers and police were searching from door to door. All the shops were frightened to the point of closing their doors, and all the families of the people kept their doors shut.
Those corrupt officials took the opportunity to extort and extort justice, turning it into a robbery. They severely rebuked the shops and people who refused to open the door, saying, "You all hide criminals!" He didn't do anything until he gave him the money.
The police officers who used to smoke opium and live in brothels gathered together and took the opportunity to extort money from everyone, rob them in the open and commit crimes in the open. They specifically looked for the shops that operated expensive items, smashing open their doors, entering and searching everywhere. They took the opportunity to find the store's gold and silver accessories.
Some shopkeepers found out about their theft and robbery and argued with them that they were either beaten or kidnapped and accused of "hiding the culprits".
This caused the people to cry and curse incessantly. A police officer with a nickname, balding, was carrying a bunch of gold and silver jewelry. He took a silver peacock hairpin from the Golden Jade Temple store and was discovered by the female owner, who chased after him and scolded him, "Bald, you will die a horrible death!" You've never been human in your life! "In my next life, I'll turn into a donkey, get beaten up everyday, and ride everyone!" Not to mention.
At this time, Gan Xingyi, Kuang Lu Ping, Zhao Yonggang and Zhang Tinghua had found one. Just as the four of them were planning to escape, seeing that the soldiers and police officers had already taken action, the four of them were overjoyed.
Gan Xingyi said: "This is great, with their help, it will be hard for the monks to escape. I didn't expect to catch him before it got dark. " Zhang Tinghua was overjoyed: "We don't need to plan to escape. We need to find the police to fill in the numbers and listen to the wind first." The four of them became lively once more.
They found the police chief, Ma Shaofen, who was busy on the street, and told him about the things that had been stolen and how they had chased the monk. Ma Shaofen and the policemen were all confused by what they heard. Only then did they know that it was a fat monk that stole a bag of the President's stuff from the Taibai Lou.
Ma Shaofen asked: "What business does the President have with the Taibai Lou? Why don't you bring more people with you and let us know if you want us to stay quiet? What item did you steal? " The four of them were rendered speechless by the question and felt that it was difficult to answer correctly.
After a long while, Zhang Tinghua finally revealed his dissatisfaction, "The President has been sick these few days, and at noon, he is in a good mood. He asked the Eunuch Liu to accompany us for a walk. Walking to the Taibai Lou, the President felt thirsty, so Mr. Liu accompanied him in for tea. Unexpectedly, the two of them were robbed by a fat monk the moment they entered Taibai Lou. We don't know what it was stolen from. "
Zhao Yonggang said, "When we came out, I brought that thing for the President. It was a small wooden chest, and inside it was something that weighed several kilograms. It was wrapped in green satin. He didn't know what it was. We didn't ask either. "
A policeman said, "Could it be the presidential seal?" Zhang Tinghua immediately obeyed: "It might be so. The President should not have carried it with him when he went out. The President has always attached great importance to the country, and he has to do his business on the spot when he walks. "
Gan Xingyi said, "We chased after the monk after him. Unexpectedly, he hid himself. "Bureau Chief Ma, it's time to go through the door and search."
Ma Shaofen immediately had a sense of urgency, and decisively said to all the police officers: "Pass my order: Each team must pay attention to the discovery of important suspects, and must pay special attention to the appearance of those fat monks. If you want to see one, then go and capture one. "
He then said to Gan Xianyi, "The four of you, lead the rest of us to those important alleys and streets to search them." Everyone immediately dispersed.
Ma Shaofen personally led a team of people to the heart of Crossroads Street to interrogate the suspect who was caught.
At this point, many people had already been captured and integrated into a large group. Ma Shaofen sized up these people. There were all kinds of monks of different heights and sizes, with different ages. He picked up the fat monks and the bald men and questioned them one by one, "You, come out. Where are you from? Which temple? What are you doing? " All of them answered calmly.
Some people replied, "Don't look at the fact that I have shaved my head. I am not a monk from the temple. I'm a resident of Anfey Alley. If you don't believe it, go and ask. Everyone there knows me. I'm a pig killer. "
Ma Shaofen observed him for a while, then said: "Since you are a vulgar person, why would you shave your head, and pretend to be a monk? Take him away!" The man cried out his injustice and was dragged away.
Another monk was pointed out for questioning, and the monk said: "Sir, although I am fat, I am definitely a monk and never seek flowers or willow. Because I often eat pork and eat a lot of it, I am fat. I did not commit a crime. "
Hearing that, Ma Shaofen was furious: "You are a monk that did not abide by the rules, bring him away!" The monk refused to accept this and was dragged away.
There was also a fat monk. Ma Shaofen asked him in fear, "Where did you come from and what did you do? From the facts! "It's hard to say, it's hard to avoid physical suffering."
The monk was scared and said anxiously: "I came from Wang San Gui's house, he did not go to Tianjin to mourn for his dead brother, it was his wife, Xiao Feng Liu, who took me there. What I did to her, it's — it's hard to say. " Ma Shaofen scolded again, "I think you are not a good person. Take him away! " The monk panicked and was taken away.
As Ma Shaofen was questioning them, three police officers reported anxiously, "Bureau Chief, we have found an important suspect. A fat monk was running around hiding like a rat. He was already decided by our brothers, this monk should be the one to snatch things from us. "
Hearing that, Ma Shaofen was happy, he immediately stopped questioning and spoke to the people beside him: "You guys stay here, I'll bring some people to take care of these people." Seeing that there were not many people around him, he shouted, "All the other policemen, follow me!" Soon, dozens of police officers were gathered.
In order to arouse everyone's excitement, Ma Shaofen shouted loudly, "Brothers from the police: all of you run with me. If we catch the monk, I will definitely reward you. I will not break my promise this time. " The police officers were full of cheers. The one who had reported this was leading the way, and all of them ran towards their target.
They were still far away when Ma Shaofen heard the police shouting to chase after the monk. He then heard: "Monk, stop! You can't escape! "You've been surrounded, quickly ambush and bind!" Thief Monk, quickly surrender! If you keep running, we'll shoot you! " Ma Shaofen was ecstatic as he continued to shout non-stop. He took a shortcut and ran over.
At this moment, the monk heard shouts from all directions and knew that he had been surrounded. He had no choice but to rush around in search of a way out. Everywhere he went, he was intercepted by policemen with guns. He was forced to find a place with fewer people to charge at. After he broke through the first layer of encirclement, he immediately entered the second layer. Just then, the guards camp received the news. Battalion Commander Guo Chengliang rode his horse and led the soldiers to run forward and surround them.
Ma Shaofen passed down the order: "Quickly surrender, or else shoot. "Don't let him fall into the hands of the guards." Soon, he was surrounded again and shouted, "Quickly surrender, Monk! If we don't surrender now, we will definitely fire! "
The monk saw that he was trapped in the middle and was at the end of his rope. He had just broken out of the siege when he came face to face with Ma Shaofen leading a squad of policemen. The monk was so tired that he could not run fast anymore. He hurriedly entered the western alley of Prince Gong's Mansion. Ma Shaofen and his men followed closely behind. Seeing that he was running too slowly, Ma Shaofen was so happy that he turned around and shouted to the policemen, "Monk can't run anymore, brothers, quickly chase him!" Reward will be given to those who get caught in it! " All the policemen were eager to catch up. Soon, they reached the end of the alley.
With a turn, the monk's figure suddenly disappeared. Ma Shaofen brought his men to the corner and looked around. A police officer with good eyes exclaimed, "Bureau Chief, look at that! Shoes!" The crowd looked in the direction he was pointing and saw a half-new embroidered shoe lying at the foot of the palace wall.
A policeman quickly picked it up and handed it over to Ma Shaofen. Ma Shaofen looked at the shoes over and over again, and anxiously touched inside the shoes, feeling that it was moist and hot. As if he had been blessed with a treasure, he cried out in delight: "The monk can't get away, this shoe must have been dropped by him jumping off a wall in a hurry. He escaped into the prince's mansion. " He took the shoe and shouted, "Brothers, it's time for you to receive the prize! Quickly increase the distance between us and surround the Duke Palaces, don't let the Thief Monk escape. "
