The Rise of the Writers of the Republic of China

   Regardless of whether the assassination happened in Tianjin City or in a concession outside the city, as long as no foreigners were involved, the case was tried by the Tianjin District Court. In criminal cases in the concession, although the Ministry of Industry and Commerce wants to intervene, they generally do not bother to intervene.

   This is also the reason why Chu Yufeng dared to send someone to the concession to kill. Even if the shooter is caught, it will be handled by the Tianjin District Court. Most foreigners will turn a blind eye.

   But once the foreigners are involved, things will go haywire. The institution that will hear the case will be changed from the Tianjin District Court to a foreigner consular court (there are also some special courts in Shanghai, such as the British High Court in Shanghai, the United States High Court in Shanghai, etc.).

If    is not handled properly, the criminal case will turn into a diplomatic incident, and even the Beiyang government will be involved.

  So when Chu Yufeng heard that the British were injured and the gunman was caught, he immediately took Du Xiaoshan as a scapegoat. Du Xiaoshan is also cunning and cunning, saying that I don't take the blame.

   Chang Zhiying, director of the Tianjin Police Department, used to be the brigade commander of the 107th Brigade of the 20th Army under Zhang Zongchang, but was later recruited by Chu Yupu. Historically, this person also served as a traitor during the Anti-Japanese War, and served as the puppet Daoyin of Jinan Daoyin and the puppet Chief Executive of Qingzhou Special Region.

  Chang Zhiying was definitely the lackey of the Chu family at this time, and when Chu Yufeng gave an order, he immediately led the team to arrest people. In the end, he was in vain. Du Xiaoshan had already fled into the concession and surrendered himself to the patrol room of the Ministry of Industry.

   patrol room.

  Ma Liu was hanged and beaten, before the police began to question: "Name!"

Ma Liu, who was covered in welts, was drenched in salt water again, crying in pain, and wished he could tell the story of peeking at the widow's bath when he was a child: "My name is Ma Kui, everyone calls me Ma Liu, I am 30 years old this year, His ancestral home is Hebei, and he lives in Majiahe Village, Baoding Road (Hebei Anping County), Zhili Province…”

   "Stop, stop!"

   The police officer said impatiently: "If I ask a question, just say it, don't rush!"

  Ma Liu said quickly, "Okay, sir."

   "It's called Ma Kui, right? Which Kui?"

   "I don't know, I don't know how to read, so just write one, sir."

   "Who else is at home?"

   "My father, mother and two younger brothers died while fleeing, and a younger sister was sold to Ren Yazi, so I am the only one left in the family."

   "Isn't your name Ma Liu? There aren't many brothers?"

   "Sir, I have six fingers on my left hand, so I'm called Ma Liu."

"Profession?"

   "If you don't have a job, you just mess around."

   "That's the bastard. Where do you usually live?"

   "The house rented at No. **** Hutong, Nanshi."

   "Who ordered you to kill the British?"

   "Sir, you're wrong, I didn't shoot the British."

   "How dare you argue! Come on, hit me harder!"

"Really, you're wronged! Ah! Don't fight, I said... Du Xiaoshan, Master Du asked me to kill Zhou Hexuan, and gave me a slapstick and 1,000 oceans. I pretended to be a fruit seller and was in Zhou Hexuan's house. After squatting outside for several days, I finally saw him go out, and then I followed, you can ask the shoe shiner Zhu Wu about this!"

   "Who is Zhu Wu? Where does he live? What is his full name?"

   "I don't know, all I know is that his name is Zhu Wu, and he has been shining shoes on that street."

   "Speak well, don't lie, I will bring Zhu Wu to confront you."

"I said, I must say it properly. At that time, I followed Zhou Hexuan all the way, and later he went to see two Lord Yang. But the gun on the Lord Yang was really not shot by me. I only fired three shots, One shot flew, one shot hit Zhou Hexuan, and one shot hit his entourage. Later, I was chased by Commander Feng's men and shot four more times. After being shot by me, I really didn’t hit the bullet on Mr. Yang’s body!”

   "Trust you for now, wait until I catch Du Xiaoshan! Take this guy and lock it up, tie up and gag his mouth, don't let him commit suicide!"

  …

  Zhu Wu saw that Maguilar's stomach had not returned, and it was getting dark. He glanced at the fruit stand next to him, and his heart sank, ready to push them all back to his house.

   After walking a short distance, he was suddenly blocked by a group of Chinese patrolling, who took the lead and asked, "Are you Zhu Wu?"

   "Yes." Zhu Wu nodded subconsciously.

   "Caught me," the patrol captain snapped, "I'll tell you Zhu Wu, you've committed a crime!"

  Zhu Wutong knelt down and burst into tears: "Sir, I don't want any more fruit, please don't arrest me. I have eighty mothers on top, and..."

"take away!"

  …

  The site of the incident was blocked by several teams of Indian soldiers, who went from house to house to investigate one by one, and all those who looked like bad guys were taken away.

   Finally, two soldiers found rifles and photos on the roof, and one of them shouted happily in curry-flavored English: "I found it, I found the murder weapon!"

   "I found it first!" The companion said quickly.

   "I saw it first!" The Indian Asan said angrily.

   In order to make meritorious deeds, the two actually fought on the spot, and each was beaten until his nose was blue and his face was swollen. In the end, the winner grabbed the rifle, and the loser only got a picture of Zhou Hexuan.

   They ran downstairs, rejoicing as if they had found gold.

  …

  Du Xiaoshan wore a wig on his head, dressed as an old mother and went out from the back door. He didn't dare to take a car, so he called a rickshaw after walking a few blocks and went straight to the patrol house in the British Concession.

   On the way, Du Xiaoshan encountered a team of patrolling officers, just like seeing a relative, he jumped out of the car and shouted, "I'm Du Xiaoshan, I know the murderer behind today's shooting, quickly arrest me. Hurry up!"

  The patrolling officers looked at each other, then swarmed up and tied Du Xiaoshan Wuhuada directly.

   was taken to the interrogation room of the patrol room. Before the interrogation, he would be punished. Du Xiaoshan hurriedly shouted: "I'm surrendering myself, I said all, don't waste time!"

   The police officer in charge of the interrogation didn’t know whether to laugh or cry: “Come on, Master Du, I’m listening.”

Du Xiaoshan said quickly: "Zhou Hexuan offended Chu Yufeng, and Chu Yufeng asked me to find someone to assassinate him. It is true that I sent Ma Liu who was arrested by you, but it is none of my business that the British are injured. Chu Yufeng is afraid that I will be ineffective. , he arranged for a gunman. Chu Yufeng found the gunman to do the injury of the British master. Also, I didn't want to kill Zhou Hexuan, so I specifically told Ma Liu not to hit the deadly place. And I sent someone to remind Zhou Hexuan to be careful about assassins when he went out. It's all forced! I didn't think about killing people, really."

   The police officer frowned, this matter involves warlords, and it is no longer something that the patrol room can handle.

  …

   "Trash, it's all a bunch of trash!"

   "Killing Zhou Hexuan won't kill him, he even wounded the British, and even the shooter was caught."

   "And you, Chang Zhiying! Your dignified police chief, you can't even kill Du Xiaoshan. Do you still have the face to do things for our Chu family?"

   "Fuck off, all for me!"

  Chang Zhiying waited for Chu Yufeng to vent, and then said: "Military seat, should we send a telegram to the commander?"

   "Yes, yes, send a telegram, hurry up and prepare a car for me, I'm going to the telegraph office!" Chu Yufeng was already in a panic. Once the foreigners issue an order, even Chu Yupu can't keep him and is likely to be sentenced.

   On the way to the telegraph office, Chu Yufeng suddenly shouted again: "Turn around and go to the military camp, I want to go to the front line to fight!"

   Well, Chu Yufeng finally wakes up, he knows that the safest is in the army. He couldn't stay in Tianjin any longer. When the consular court's verdict came out, the Beiyang government, under diplomatic pressure, would definitely dismiss him for investigation.

  Only by staying in the frontline troops can you take orders from foreign troops. Even if Zhang Zuolin came in person, there was nothing he could do with Chu Yufeng, and this matter might be eased after a while.
