Volume 1 Wuchang Vortex Chapter 9 National Sinner?
"Mr. Song."
"Mr. Song, we want to avenge our brother Wang."
"If I don't take revenge, I won't be worthy of being a man!"
As soon as he entered the room, Song Jiaoren saw Wang Tianjie's body on two eight-immortal tables placed together. The body's clothes were in disarray, and it seemed that he had been searched by the police. The bullet wound on his chest was even more shocking.
The party members nearby saw Song Jiaoren and Deng Xiaoke were all excited and shouted for revenge. To be honest, he didn't expect Yang Qiu to kill Wang Tianjie before holding him hostage. If he knew, he might try to stop him, but now...
"Brother Deng, what do you think we should do about this?"
Deng Xiaoke was even more suspicious. From the fact that Yang Qiu had revealed Song Jiaoren's identity just now but still let him go, it could be seen that this man was not the legendary Qing lackey, nor was he an executioner who killed people at will. Otherwise, he and Song Jiaoren would have died several times. But why did he kill Wang Tianjie? Since he could ask four heart-piercing questions and reveal Song's identity at once, he would not have known Wang Tianjie's identity and made a life-and-death feud with the party members.
Who is he?
Deng Xiaoke shook his head, always feeling that things were not that simple, so after thinking for a while he said: "Mr. Song, I shouldn't have interrupted you at this time, but I still want to say something."
"Brother Deng, please give me some advice."
"At this critical moment, Mr. Song, do you think it is better to start a war with the Hubei New Army immediately, or should we focus on the important matters?" Deng Xiaoke said anxiously, "Besides, Mr. Wang is dead, and his belongings have been taken away. You must have been exposed in Chengdu, so I think you should hide for the time being!"
Song Jiaoren nodded and was about to speak when he suddenly heard hurried footsteps outside, followed by the sound of gunfire like frying beans.
Everyone's expression changed.
Exposed!
…
“Well done!”
In the Sichuan Governor's Mansion, Zhao Erfeng, who had hurried over after hearing the news, read the list several times, with a proud look on his face: "The heavens will not let me down, and they will not let me down either!"
"Congratulations, sir, for getting this list." The lawyer next to him also flattered him and said with a smile, "With this list, sir, you can wipe out those rebels in Sichuan in one fell swoop. Without these rebels looking for trouble, Pu Dianjun and his people are nothing but scabies."
"That's right, send someone to arrest the people on the list immediately!"
"Don't worry, sir. I have already sent someone to do it." After the master finished speaking, he took a step closer and continued, "But if we can really capture the rebels this time, it will definitely be a huge achievement. Look at this Yang Qiu..."
"I understand what you mean." Zhao Erfeng stroked his beard, and after thinking about it, he decided that there was no need to take all the credit. He said, "I am not afraid of taking all the credit from Yang Qiu, but don't forget the people behind him!"
"Your Excellency means the new army commander, Master Zhang Biao?"
"Yes, Zhang Biao has always been very self-righteous, and he even looked down on the Governor of Huguang, Rui Cheng. If he knew that Yang Qiu had made such a great contribution, he would immediately write to the court to ask for credit. If I took it away, wouldn't I offend him? Besides, although I have the list in hand, the revolutionaries are everywhere now. Maybe one day we will have to rely on him, so it's better not to mention this matter."
"Your Excellency is wise, but you were judging the merits and giving out rewards in public yesterday, and Yang Qiu has just killed the leader, so I'm afraid it will cost you a lot of money."
"Haha, a little expense is not a problem. When you go to see Yang Qiu later, remember to reward him handsomely in person! I want to tell the world that I will never break my promise! Besides, as long as the revolutionaries are captured in Sichuan, I will be the one who deserves the credit." Zhao Erfeng stroked his beard, his eyes suddenly cold: "Pass the order down, except for Chengdu, all other places must take action immediately to capture all these rebels!"
…
The increasingly urgent sound of police whistles caused chaos in Chengdu. In order to hide from others, Yang Qiu had to steal a set of clothes and find a straw hat before he could quietly rush back.
As soon as they arrived at the parade camp, they saw hundreds of Qing soldiers rushing out in a hurry. Xiao Anguo and others also walked out with guns in hand, looking as if they were facing .
What happened?
Seeing Yang Qiu, Xiao Anguo and the others immediately surrounded him. Seeing that he was wearing clothes that were obviously too small and a bamboo hat, they hurriedly asked, "Brother, what are you doing..."
Yang Qiu waved his hand without explaining, pointing at the Sichuan Army that was on the march and asked, "What's wrong with them?"
Xiao Anguo shook his head: "I don't know. I just heard that a big figure of the party was killed on the street, and the police found a list of names on him. After the governor Zhao learned about it, he ordered a city-wide search to arrest the revolutionaries."
This series of words was like a bolt from the blue, shocking Yang Qiu so much that he was stunned. He couldn't help but take a few steps back and lean against the wall.
He was sure that the person who was killed was Wang Tianjie, but he didn't expect that this guy actually had a list of names on him, and it fell into the hands of the police! Aren't those policemen on the side of the Gelaohui? How could they betray Wang Tianjie?
The more Yang Qiu thought about it, the more confused he became, as if he had become a bug caught in a spider web, sinking deeper and deeper.
"Brother Yang, Brother Yang!" Bingwen was frightened by Yang Qiu's appearance. He quickly grabbed the distraught Yang Qiu and asked with concern, "What happened to you? Where have you been this morning? What happened?"
Looking at the concerned face of the baby-faced Bingwen, Yang Qiu shook his head woodenly. In fact, he didn't know where to start. Should he tell him that the list of names was leaked because he killed the head of the party in Sichuan? Or should he tell him that he met Song Jiaoren?
Xiao Anguo and Ma Kui's faces also changed. They secretly guessed something from Yang Qiu's panicked expression, and their hearts suddenly skipped a beat, thinking that something was not good!
"Let's go back to Wuchang."
"Now?"
"Yes, let's go now!"
Xiao Anguo acted decisively and immediately ordered the carriages to be prepared in order to avoid escalating the situation. Unexpectedly, just as everyone started to prepare the carriages, the Sichuan Governor's Office's advisor came in with a large group of personal soldiers.
"Yang Zhuangshi, you are back." The master held Yang Qiu's hand and laughed affectionately, "If you hadn't killed Wang Tianjie, the rebel leader, in the street and got the list, my Sichuan Governor's Office would be in danger!"
What!
Yang Qiu killed the leader of the Sichuan Party ? !
Bingwen was completely stunned. He couldn't believe that Brother Yang, who had taken care of him since he joined the army, treated him like his own brother and taught him revolutionary ideas, was the one who killed Wang Tianjie and put all the Tongmenghui's comrades in Sichuan in danger?
How could he do this? !
Even Xiao Anguo, Ma Kui and others who were not party members were stunned. They thought that Yang Qiu had just encountered this incident, but they did not expect that he had killed the person and handed the list to the Sichuan Governor's Office.
This has really caused a huge mess!
"The Governor is busy with important affairs and cannot see you off, so he has ordered us to bring you fifty taels of gold as a reward. In addition, he also asked me to tell you that he has sent a telegram to the court, and the reward will reach Lord Ma within three days. I wish you a successful promotion in advance." As the lawyer spoke, he took out a small red cloth bag from his pocket. When the bag was opened, five shining gold bars appeared in front of everyone.
Fifty taels of gold could be exchanged for five thousand dollars, so when the master stuffed the gold bar into Yang Qiu's hand and turned to leave, the guards were jealous and kept muttering, "Master, isn't this kid too cheap?"
"If we don't offer a big reward, how can outsiders know that it was Yang Qiu who killed the leader of the rebellion? This is called shifting the trouble to the east. Learn from him!" The master turned his head and looked at the dumbfounded Yang Qiu again, sneering, "What a pity, he won't have a chance to spend his life."
Yang Qiu's mind went blank as he looked at the gold bars. He didn't hear what his master said at all. Let alone five bars, even if there were 50,000 bars, he would not help the Qing Dynasty. Instead, he would use it to strengthen himself and accelerate the overthrow of this dynasty that brought a century of humiliation to the Chinese nation!
Although he later believed that the party's hasty revolution actually harmed the country, at least they could have prepared for a few more years, been more patient and less impetuous, and found ways to improve the quality of the team instead of rushing for quick results and mixing in so many ruffians, but he still admired these heroes in his heart. After all, they had no precedent, and they were in an unprecedented era of change. It was a great achievement for them to break through the iron curtain and finally overthrow the Qing Dynasty.
After constantly walking on the edge of life and death for several days, he realized that this was not a prank, but a real return to this great era that he had longed for countless times when he was in the army.
This is a real world, and there is real life and blood around us.
But before he could figure out what his future path would be, a series of coincidences since his reincarnation had made him stand on the opposite side of them without realizing it.
Have I really become a sinner of the country?
