Chapter 080 Kidnapping

Zhou Charter was secretly surprised when he put it on the window sill. Sun Wen came to Shanghai and plotted to launch an anti-Qing uprising, but as soon as the matter began, the government kept an eye on it. Then Sun Wen is the future father of the country. If he is planted here, China's history will be rewritten!

After Xiong Mantang left, Yan Qionglin was not idle. He began to dispatch troops and sent troops to all important places in Shanghai to strengthen their vigilance. In the White Tiger Hall, the schools were in and out, which was very lively.

The patrol battalion is only a local security organ with limited strength. Yan Qionglin's use of troops is also overstretched. However, Yan Qionglin is a general with limited military strength, but he uses it in an orderly manner. He focuses on docks, stations, bridges, post and telecommunications, government agencies and other important places. In this way, it is difficult for revolutionaries to occupy the whole Shanghai even if they are temporarily successful in local difficulties. After all, the revolutionary party has limited strength and lacks the support of the people, so it is difficult to form a situation of response.

At 2 a.m., most of the people in the patrol camp were sent out, leaving only a few police personnel. After Yan Qionglin's assignment, the officers and soldiers of the school dispersed separately, and the lobby became quiet. Only Yan Qionglin was left, leaning on the handsome chair to take a nap.

Zhou Charter pulled out his pistol, gently pushed open the window, jumped into the lobby, came behind Yan Qionglin, and put the muzzle on the back of Yan Qionglin's head: "Mr. Yan, it's time to wake up."

Yan Qionglin was so excited that he reached out and was about to draw a gun. His waist was empty, and the pistol pinned to his waist reached Zhou Charter's hand.

"Who are you?" Yan Qionglin asked in a cold sweat.

"It doesn't matter who I am. The important thing is that you should do what I say, otherwise, you won't see the sun tomorrow." Zhou Charter said.

"You can't run away with a gun!"

"It doesn't matter!" Zhou Charter laughed and said, "If you become a revolutionary, you won't live long anyway." From the end of the 19th century to the beginning of the 20th century, the revolutionaries launched a tenacious battle with the Qing court with the belief of death. During this period, countless revolutionaries landed. However, more and more people joined the revolutionary party. Even the Qing court had to admit that it was a group of lives. Bandits.

"What are you going to do?" Yan Qionglin trembling all over. He knew that the revolutionaries did what they said. Before that, there were assassins of the revolutionary party who died together with Qing court officials.

"I let go of Shizhongji's people!"

Yan Qionglin said, "Good man, I can let you go, and I will give you a large amount of money. However, Shi Zhongji has been arrested and imprisoned. Lord Liu, the governor of the two rivers, knows that if I let them go, Lord Liu, how can I explain it."

"That's your business!" Zhou Charter pointed to the back of Yan Qionglin's head with a gun: "I will stay behind you. Now, let people come in and order the release of Shi Zhongji and Zhao Han. You move faster. I don't have enough patience. Two days ago, one of my comrades died with one of your seven-level county magistrates. Today, I died with a three-grade general. I'm worth him!"

Yan Qionglin had to say, "Good man, listen to you!"

Zhou Charter dodged to the front behind the handsome chair and waved the muzzle at Yan Qionglin.

Yan Qionglin had to shout outside the door: "Come on."

The deputy general came in.

"Immediately release Shi Zhongji, Zhao Han and others."

"My lord, why is this?" The deputy general asked in a hurry.

Yan Qionglin shouted, "I have my own dispatch, so there is no need to ask!"

The deputy general hesitated: "But how can we report to the Governor?"

"There is nothing! Hurry up!" Yan Qionglin was impatient. He was afraid that the revolutionaries behind him would lose their patience.

The vice general left in a hurry. After a quarter of an hour, the vice general returned to the White Tiger Hall: "Your excellency, Shizhong Jiyi has come out of the door."

"Go down." Yan Qionglin said.

The vice general came out of Baihutang, and Yan Qiolin hurriedly turned around and said, "Good man, he has been released. Look..."

Zhou Charter came out from behind the mantle with a smile, sat at the table opposite Yan Qionglin, put his pistol on the table, and said, "Lord Yan's order is prohibited, and the army is well commanded. However, I have to wait. An hour later, please ask Lord Yan to send me out of the door in person.

Zhou Charter is to give Shi Zhongji time to escape.

Yan Qionglin had no choice but to accompany Zhou Charter.

At three o'clock in the morning, it is estimated that Shi Zhongji and Zhao Han have run far away. Zhou Charter got up, put down the bullets in Yan Qionglin's gun, and returned the gun to Yan Qionglin: "Lord Yan, it's time for us to go."

Yan Qionglin had no choice but to stand up, pin the gun back to his waist, and get out of the White Tiger Hall with Zhou Charter.

The night was thick. Outside the White Tiger Hall, the two guards saw Yan Qionglin and Zhou Charter come out together. They looked surprised, but they did not dare to ask more questions.

Zhou Charter secretly put a pistol against Yan Qionglin's waist. Yan Qionglin said in a hurry, "I'm going out of the camp. I have confidential business. Please cheer me up!"

"Yes!"

Zhou Charter put his pistol against Yan Qionglin's waist, and the two walked side by side to the door. Along the way, the soldiers did not dare to stop Yan Qionglin. The two quickly went out of the door and took advantage of the night to walk two miles south to the beach by the Huangpu River.

It was dark around, and there was no one home, only the night wind blowing on the vegetation, making a rustling sound. It's been a dark and windy killing place for a month.

Yan Qionglin lamented in his heart: This life is over.

The revolutionaries and the Qing court fought against each other, and both sides did everything. The idea of revolutionaries is that if they want to overthrow the Qing court, they must first cut off the capable officials in the Qing court one by one. Therefore, before the revolutionaries had the ability to launch an uprising, they took the assassination of Qing court officials as the main means. They do not assassinate mediocre and incompetent people. In their view, leaving those incompetent people in the government is conducive to revolutionary action. Their assassination targets were all capable and virtuous officials in the Qing court, and even Qing officials.

This is a very extreme concept. In fact, many officials assassinated by the revolutionaries can do something for the local people in their tenure and have the support of some people, and the revolutionaries who assassinated them also lost the support of a large part of the people.

In a word, if the revolutionary falls into the hands of the government, they will behead lightly and later. And if the Qing court officials fall into the hands of the revolutionaries, they will definitely die.

Yan Qionglin begged, "A good man, I have an 80-year-old mother and a wife and a young man. Please show mercy."

Zhou Charter put his pistol to his waist and said, "Lord Yan, I think you are also a general who works for the Qing court. I'm afraid the pearl has secretly thrown it! I advise you that the Qing Dynasty will die, and Mr. Sun Wen will become a great career. If Lord Yan meets Mr. Sun, please open up and leave a way for yourself.

"Don't you kill me?" Yan Qionglin was very unexpected.

"If you let Shi Zhongji go, of course I have to keep my promise." Zhou Charter said and arched his hand to Yan Qionglin: "See you later."

Yan Qionglin ran away as if he had been granted an amnesty.

Zhou Charter watched Yan Qionglin run away, went north along the Huangpu River, walked out for several miles in the dark, then turned back to the south, and made a big circle. At dawn, he returned to the city from the northwest.

In the early morning, Shanghai is foggy, and the streets are bustling with people who get up early.

After all night, his stomach was rumbling. Zhou Charter came to an early stall, asked for a bowl of chaos, three steamed buns, and devoured it.

One night, it was originally intended to save Guo Er pole, but I didn't expect that I met Zhao Han and got involved in the battle between the revolutionaries and the Qing soldiers.

Zhou Charter sympathizes with revolutionaries, but he doesn't want to deal with revolutionaries. He knew that in the eyes of the Empress Dowager, the revolutionaries were completely different from Zhang Jun. The Empress Dowager can't tolerate the next charter, but after all, she can still accommodate his brothers. Moreover, among the Manchu and Han ministers, there are many people who sympathize with Zhang Jun. After all, in the eyes of the princes and ministers, Zhang Jun is still the army of the Qing Dynasty.

And the revolutionaries are different. Qing court officials hate the revolutionaries from top to bottom. If they knew that Zhou Charter was related to the revolutionaries, they would immediately change their attitude towards the brothers Zhang Jun and regard them as enemies.

Therefore, Zhou Charter secretly helped Shi Zhongji and Zhao Han to solve their difficulties, but he was unwilling to get together with the revolutionary party.

As for Sun Wen, there are traitors among the revolutionaries. If Sun Wen is in Shanghai, the situation will not be good. Shi Zhongji and others escaped from death, which should cause vigilance and take preventive measures. It is expected that nothing big will happen.

Zhou Charter's top priority is how to rescue Guo Er pole from prison.

Guo Er pole is still in the prison of Daotai government, and there is no clue as to how to rescue him. However, it is gratifying that so far, the government has been unaware of Guo Er pole's true identity. If the government finally treats Guo II pole for the crime of smuggling cultural relics, it will at most confiscate the stolen goods and then be assigned to the northwest or northeast to work hard.

According to the unspoken rules of the officialdom of the Qing Dynasty, the exiled criminals can be redeemed. Of course, this kind of redemption can't be bought on the table. The general practice is to buy the master's yamen in the government and give Guo Erpa a certificate of serious illness and no match for the time being. After some operation, he will be on parole for medical treatment. Lord Daotai is busy with official business, and he can't think of a small smuggler. Guo Erpaan is free.

The problem is that Zhou Charter can't come forward if he wants to dredge the joints in the government. First, Zhou Charter didn't know the people in the Shanghai Daotai government. He entered the government, his eyes were black, and he couldn't find the joints. Second, more importantly, once he enters the government office, it is difficult to guarantee that he will not be recognized. If the government finds that he is still alive, it will not only immediately kill him, but also immediately attack the Zhang Jun brothers scattered around with the character of Empress Dowager Cixi!

The nearest brother Zhang Jun from Shanghai is Wu Peifu, who is in Changsha, Hunan.
