C19 Shipment from Ch'iu to Ch'u

As the Eunuch Liu listened to Guo Chengliang, he glanced at the lined up soldiers. Seeing that there were more than 120 of them, he thought to himself, "These people are enough." He took the reins from the Deputy Xu's hands and nodded towards Guo Chengliang: "Although you are young, you are indeed capable in handling matters. This time, it's all because of you that we were able to catch the culprit and get the item back. "

Guo Chengliang said: "It's all because of Mister Liu's discernment, that I was able to catch the culprit, what kind of contribution could I gain from that?"

Eunuch Liu laughed sinisterly: "Don't even talk about the Divine Vision, once we get there, I will recognize the monk that stole the thing. Even if he were to change his surname to Flay Skinning, this old one would still recognize him. " Guo Chengliang said: "Alright, then I will leave it all to Mister."

After Guo Chengliang finished speaking, the two of them mounted their horses and led the soldiers out of the camp, using a road to rush towards State Protecting Temple. It was really this: the awe-inspiring aura of power invading one's skin, the thick killing intent causing one to feel a chill down their spine. Knowing that this was not good, everyone in State Protecting Temple would definitely suffer.

As for Guo Chengliang who sent Xi Que away, just as he returned back to his house, the staff officer and the Deputy Xu reported to him, "Reporting to Battalion Commander, we have already sent out the telegram and the Tianjin Police Department is paying great attention to this matter. They have already sent out their forces to search for Ru Feng."

Guo Chengliang was very satisfied, he said to the two of them: "I just sent Xi Que away. He personally promised to help me find Monk Ru Feng. This way, with the support of Tianjin and the huge assistance of the Beijing police, we can catch Ru Feng in the next few days. " Before he could finish, the phone rang and rang again. The staff officer accepted one that was for the Battalion Commander, and immediately transferred it to Guo Chengliang and said: "Battalion Commander, someone is looking for us." Guo Chengliang picked up the phone one by one.

At this time, outside of Beijing and Tianjin city, a large number of soldiers and police were out, searching for Ru Feng. All of them continuously called Guo Chengliang to report the situation. The busy Guo Chengliang could not stop.

Just as he put down the phone and sat down, the guard outside reported again: "Captain of the Guardian Office and his men have arrived!" , the chief of the police department, along with the police station's Sheriff Zheng, Inspector Hun, Chief Officer Zhao, as well as the War Department's Leng Chenyu, Yang Yuting, the supervisor of industry and commerce, Zhao Bingjun and the other 11 people had arrived. They had all heard that Guo Chengliang had been beaten up at State Protecting Temple and had come to visit.

Guo Chengliang invited everyone into the house, and said politely: "I did not know that you brothers would arrive here, but I welcome you all! "Everyone, please take a seat. Please take a seat."

Everyone sat down modestly. Xu Shuzheng said first: "I heard from Mr. Liu that Brother suffered a grievance during his State Protecting Temple. We've come to visit. was also very concerned about this matter when he heard so, and he sent a few of his bros over to offer his condolences. When the business community heard the news, they didn't know how much damage their little brother had suffered, so they decided to donate money to help. About this, Chief Zhao actually brought someone here personally. " Hearing that, Guo Chengliang's face turned red. Everyone greeted him and said, "Sir, thank you for your concern." "Thank you so much, little brother!"

As he handed out cigarettes to everyone, he explained, "Actually, it's nothing much. I was unharmed. Only a dozen soldiers were wounded. This is the result of a bunch of people lying about their inaccurate information. "

Xu Shuzheng continued: "Those outlaws from State Protecting Temple are simply undisciplined and rebellious. If they dare to beat the soldiers, I will not spare them. As long as little brother agrees, I will immediately send people to capture all of them and punish them severely. "

Guo Chengliang said: "Thank you for your good intentions. There was no need to trouble the police and my bros about this matter. In the future, little brother has his reasons. Besides, he'd wronged her today. Our battalion and bureau are in charge of the security outside the city, and the incident happened inside the city, so we have responsibilities that we cannot shirk. We should work together. It's more important to solve the case. For the time being, I have to give up all personal grudges. "

Xu Shuzheng said: "Maintaining law and order, punishing and brawling, is also our responsibility. What's the difference between you and me, old boy? As for the matter of solving the case, I have given orders as per my brother's wishes. All the police forces have been dispatched to search the temples outside the city. If that monk Ru Feng is really as my brother expected, he will be caught out very quickly. "

Guo Chengliang said: "Thank you for your close cooperation. If you only rely on your little brother to catch Monk Ru Feng and take on such a big case, there's nothing you can do. "

Xu Shuzheng said: "I was assigned to do the job for the War Department, and was forced to do it by the higher ups as well. It made me busy all day. Chief Ma is still in the hospital. These are the only officers in the station. I always feel weak. Therefore, in order to catch Ru Feng, he had to rely on his brother's wisdom. I can only help out and listen to my brother's orders. "

Guo Chengliang heard and said: "Who doesn't know that your city is vast and deep, with a lot of wisdom? You want to be my assistant? Aren't you ashamed to kill me? Please don't be too modest and take the time to solve the case. What do I, a young military man, know? The main thing is that we still have to rely on Brother's clever plans to catch Ru Feng and solve the case. " Apart from their internal conflicts, the two knew that the case was difficult to solve, so they started pushing the case to each other.

Xu Shuzheng could tell that Guo Chengliang was dissatisfied with him, so he changed the topic and said: "Brother, you misunderstood me. I didn't mean to turn the case over to you. We'll work together. "

Guo Chengliang also said: "The thing was lost by someone else, you and I are guilty. If our battalion falls apart and we try to avoid each other's responsibility, we won't be able to solve the case and the President won't be able to explain himself. In the end, the ones who suffered were still us. "

Xu Shuzheng nodded his head: "This morning, I went to report the situation. The President was very angry when he saw that there were no further developments. We are strictly ordered to solve the case within the deadline of the day. "

Guo Chengliang said: "Since the pressure is already on us, we can only work together and sincerely cooperate."

Xu Shuzheng nodded again, "I have already captured the shop assistant with Taibai Lou and am currently conducting a strict interrogation. This is the only clue I have, and I hope to solve it on him. " Unexpectedly, Xu Shuzheng leaned back against the chair. He looked up at the sky and thought.

Guo Chengliang had just gone over to have a chat with Leng Yu and Zhao Bingjun when the guards outside reported loudly, "General Li has arrived!"

There was another group of nine that came to visit Guo Chengliang. Guo Chengliang hurriedly took it out. For a few days straight, officials came to visit Guo Chengliang everyday. Don't mention it.

In a blink of an eye, more than a few days had passed. Guo Chengliang had tried everything to not be able to catch Ru Feng. Xu Shuzheng racked his brains but still could not get Ru Feng's location from the Taibai Lou guard's mouth. The robbery dragged on day after day.

At this time, Yuan Shikai was still complaining to the government officials everyday and secretly plotting with his trusted aides to get back at them. What he was most anxious about was the question of the restoration going on day after day. On one hand, he was urging Xu Shuzheng and Guo Chengliang to solve the case, and on the other hand, he wanted the Eunuch Liu to find the person with Sectarian Party, Zheng Xiaoxi, and urge them to quickly contact the person with Black Dragon Society Of Japan to secretly inquire about Inoue Shizuo's situation.

On this day,, the head of spies from Black Dragon Society in Japan's Beijing, brought news of Inoue Shizuo from Tokyo, Japan. Yama Takashi even brought a secret letter that Inoue Shizuo wrote to Yuan Shikai. He passed it on to Zheng Xiaoxu. Zheng Xiao Xu immediately brought the letter to Eunuch Liu to see Yuan Shikai.

Seeing that the letter had the words "Mr. Yuan's personal letter" on it, Eunuch Liu knew that it was Inoue Shizuo's personal letter. He was so happy that he thought that the chance to atone for his crimes had come.

The letter in his hand looked like he had received a treasure. He came to a conclusion and immediately came to Yuan Shikai, saying, "Master, ever since the thing was lost in my hands, I have been feeling ashamed. Several times I wanted to kill myself, but I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to do my duty for my master. These days, I've been trying to find out more about Mr. Well. Finally, my Japanese friend found him. He also wrote you a letter in person. " After which, he handed over his hands.

When Yuan Shikai heard of Inoue Shizuo's news, he was already happy; but when he heard that Inoue Shizuo had written a letter himself, he was overjoyed and immediately received it. While sizing up the letter, he said, "I've finally got you here!" He opened the letter at once.

Seeing the letter, he wrote: "Your Excellency Mr. Yuan, it is not that Inoue Shizuo intends to go back on his words. He was helpless and could not keep his appointment. I felt guilty. Your people were careless and leaked the news to Japan. Do you know, sir? I was scolded by someone in front of the Emperor and studied in a book. He almost lost his position. As a result, he was unable to make the appointment.

Originally, I had already put forth my best efforts for Teacher and obtained victory in front of the Emperor and the other ministers. The emperor had already removed the clauses that the gentlemen thought inappropriate. He had changed them to five lines and twenty-one lines. This final clause was already acceptable to Mr. Li. Unexpectedly, someone came back from Beijing, accusing me of taking bribes and using me of being a public servant in Beijing. The Sky Emperor refused again. I had to struggle to get the terms for Teacher. The monarch took the original terms from the emperor and prepared to go back to Beijing to force him to accept them. On the day of the letter, sir may have seen the original clause. If mister can insist on the original clause, I for mister bitter struggle for the article 21 hope. At that time, I should have done my best again. "See you later!"

When Yuan Shikai saw this, he was shocked. He said to the Eunuch Liu, "Mr. Jing Jiu is truly a good friend. This letter must be kept absolutely confidential and must not be leaked at all. The last meeting had somehow leaked the news, and Mr. Well was already angry. When he went back, he had his men study a book in front of the Sky Emperor, which was the reason for this undesirable outcome. "

Eunuch Liu's expression immediately became flustered as he argued, "The last meeting was an absolute secret. There was not the slightest leak. What kind of tricks is Japanese enemies trying to pull? " Yuan Shikai lowered his head without saying a word, and showed the letter to him. Eunuch Liu also took the letter and read it carefully.

It turns out that when Ru Feng visited the Yuan Residence that day, he told the information about the secret meeting between Yuan Shikai and Inoue Shizuo that he had heard and witnessed. After telling the information to the owner of the shop, the information was quickly organized and sent to the information stations in Tianjin and Shanghai.

Not long after, Cai Songpo received this important information in Kunming. He immediately spread the news throughout the southern provinces, denouncing Yuan Shikai's crime of restoring a country, and at the same time calling for people to get up and suppress Yuan Shikai.

The Western newspapers in the various leases also carried the news. The news of Yuan Shikai and Inoue Shizuo's secret conversation was known to everyone. Some Western newspapers posted the news entitled "Japan's Special Envoy Inoue Shizuo accepts bribes in China".

TIANJIN JAPAN CONSIDERAL OF JAPANESE, was furious when he saw the newspaper get the news. He immediately brought the newspaper to Beijing to look for Japanese Minister Hioki.
