July 6, 1917, 9:00 am.

Ren Yijiang closed the pocket watch in his hand. He had already changed into a short silk jacket, a black silk belt tied around his waist, a brown top hat on his head, which was pressed down low, and his face was made up, and he was dressed like a gangster leader in the world. This time he was an assassination commander! No matter whether he could succeed or not, he couldn't let others recognize him? He is a shameful spy now! Thinking of this, he glanced at Zhao Xianger sitting by the window seat of this teahouse with the corner of his eyes.

This woman was not dressed up. Although she was the director of the entire assassination conspiracy, she didn't need to charge. Today, she brought a few maids (female killers in training) and just drank tea and watched the show.

Ren Yijiang's eyes touched Zhao Xianger in the air, then immediately took it back, took a deep breath, and attacked the people dressed up by the gangsters around him. A gangster immediately came over. Ren Yijiang whispered: "It's almost time. Let the girl named Gao prepare and tell her that if there is anything, we will take good care of her parents and brother!"

The gangster nodded silently and ran downstairs like a gust of wind. The girl named Gao Erya is one of the female killers trained by Zhao Xianger! She is also very beautiful. Today, her mission is to "stop a car and shout for justice" in a filial piety uniform, dressed up as a little girl whose husband had just died.

Although the widow did not kill people directly, the risk was not small. After all, when Li Houji's car stopped, bombs flew around and bullets were like rain! Who knows if the gun would be shot into a hornet's nest? So Ren Yijiang had to take special care of it. Those words were not only to save others from worries, but also to warn! The parents and families of these female killers were mostly under the "care of Fuxing Society"!

At this moment, on the road downstairs of the teahouse, the guards of the Lihou Christ Office were already setting up cordons. They were holding rifles, standing on both sides of the road with five steps, one staircase and ten steps.

Block the crowds watching the fun from twenty to twenty-five steps away from Li Houji's convoy. In addition, the car Li Houji was riding in would be surrounded by a team of horses. If anyone dared to assassinate, the one who was shot first would be these "meat shields" Li Da's military commanders would not be able to do anything.

There were also some people watching the fun or passers-by on both sides of the road, waiting impatiently, or stretching their necks and looking around. The gunmen mobilized by Jiang JShi and Ren Yijiang were already scattered among the crowd. These people had already received a full bounty and sold their lives! Although they knew that they were the assassination of the governor, many people showed a look of fear, but then they heard that they could run away after firing five bullets, so they felt much more at ease.

At about 9:20, there were sounds of horse hooves coming from the west of the road, and then dozens of horse-riding guards walked over with great courage. The soldiers on both sides of the road were also energetic and kept shouting to scare the onlookers with rifles.

Immediately afterwards, three completely identical black cars were slowly coming under the escort of two cavalrymen. Li Houji was sitting on one of them, but from a distance, you could vaguely see the shadow of a soldier wearing a big-brimmed hat and a woman... No one knew which car the real Li Houji was on!

Jiang JShi was standing on the stairs of Dingguang Tower and watching all this below. When he saw three identical cars, he felt a sneer in his heart. It turned out that the most dangerous enemy was the enemy lurking around him! Li Houji probably never dreamed that he would die at the hands of his beloved woman, right?

At this time, there was a sudden disturbance on one side of the road below. A woman in a mourning uniform broke through the guards' block, ran to the middle of the road, and knelt on the ground with a white banner in her hand. She didn't know what blood was written with a big "injustice"! It seemed like she was going to complain.

"It's unfair! The little woman's husband died so unfair..." Then, a cry of injustice sounded as sad as it was.

The onlookers on both sides of the road seemed to be excited and stretched their necks to watch Li Qingtian decide the case. In fact, the Chinese people have some complexes of wise monarchs and honest officials in their hearts, and they always look forward to some good emperors and bureaucrats to bring fairness and justice to themselves. Most Chinese feudal bureaucrats are also happy to play "Xiangtian" in front of the people. When they meet the boss who petitioned and complained, they always have to pretend. Especially this person who shouted for justice is still a beautiful girl who looks like a jade! Who doesn't know that General Li likes beautiful girl the most?

Li Houji's convoy stopped naturally. An officer who looked like a guard captain turned off the horse and strode to the little beauty, trying to show a kind smile. Such a little beauty is really too pleasing. If she could be more tactful, she might be the seventeenth lady of Governor Li.

Just as the captain of the guard wanted to say something comforting, he heard a gunshot!

His chest seemed to be hit hard, and then a severe pain came, and then... he didn't know anything!

"Assassin! There is an assassin! Protect the Supervisor!" I don't know who reacted first, and shouted. The guards on both sides of the road and the cavalry guarding the cars raised their rifles one after another. Just as they were about to find the target to open fire, they heard the sound of gunfire suddenly. Several guards were knocked down in an instant, and even the three cars they protected were shot several times.

The order now suddenly became messy, with passers-by everywhere, bullets flying around, and people were knocked to the ground from time to time. Screams were also heard one after another. I don’t know if they were injured or shocked. Li Houji’s guards were well-trained, but in a moment the chaos had already come to their senses. They gathered around Li Houji’s convoy, forming a wall of people. At the same time, they desperately used the rifle in their hands and pistols to fire at the gunmen in the crowd, and soon suppressed the other party.

But at this moment, a woman's crying sound suddenly came from behind them.

"Help! Help! Master, the master was hit, the master is going to die, you are leaving, what should I do?"

Among the five mixed brigade commanders in Fujian Province, Tang Guoqian was probably the first person to learn about the exact death of Li Houji. Li Houji did not ask him to go to Mawei to welcome Duo Zhenbing together, but asked him to stay in Fuzhou City. So last night he played mahjong all night and just fell asleep at five or six o'clock. When he was sleeping soundly, he was woken up by several people. Several of his subordinates, Ma Buyun, Chen Decai, and Wang Xianchen, looked angry: "Brig Commander! The big thing is not good! Our Governor Li asked someone to assassinate on the way to Mawei! Governor Li is now dead!"

Tang Guomo suddenly fell off the bed and jumped up naked: "Did the assassin catch it? Do you know who did it?"

Ma Buyun, the commander of the 2nd Regiment of the 10th Mixed Brigade, was on duty at the brigade headquarters when the incident occurred. He also received more information. He said: "There are many assassins, most of them ran away, and only a few were caught. They have been interrogated. They only know that they are gang figures from Fujian and Shanghai, and the revolutionary party hired them to assassinate them! Two of them are named Jiang Zhiqing and the other is Song Yuanyuan!" "What? Jiang Zhiqing? Song Yuanyuan?" Tang Guo read a few swear words and turned around the ground a few times, and suddenly ordered: "Go and contact Yao Jianping, and ask his troops to immediately be martial law and prepare for war! Buyun, hurry up and mobilize the troops to control the manufacturing bureau outside Fuzhou City. By the way, the supervisory office will also send troops to the supervisory office!" Hearing the last order, several people were stunned and dismounted. Buyun asked: "Do you really want to send troops to the supervisory office?"

Tang Guoqian slapped the table and shouted: "Of course we have to send troops! Governor Li is no longer here, and Fujian cannot be without a boss for a day!" This was clearly stated, and several soldiers were ordered to leave. At this time, a middle-aged man in a long gown hurried in. It was Wang Shuping, a counselor next to Tang Guodu.

"Mr. Wang, you're here just right." Tang Guoqian waved to the man and sighed: "I don't know what to do if Governor Li dies! Is this going to change in Fujian, right?" Wang Shuping's appearance was also extremely solemn: "Brig Commander, your handling just now was very good! Fuzhou City, the 10th Mixed Brigade, and Fujian's 1st Mixed Brigade must be firmly controlled. That is the foundation for your fight for the Fujian Governor!"

"Supervisor?" A joy flashed across Tang Guoqian's face: "Can I do it?"

"What's wrong?" Wang Shuping chuckled: "With Fuzhou City, the manufacturing bureau outside the city and two mixed brigade soldiers. The brigade commander is 50% sure!" He smiled slightly, reached out and touched his goatee: "If you can win over the Duke Sa Ding of the Shanghai Army and Chang Ruiqing of northwest Fujian, you will be 30% more sure."

"Chang Ruiqing?" Tang Guomo frowned and was silent for a while: "How much sweetness should I give this kid?"

Wang Shuping thought for a while and was about to speak, he saw the butler at Tang Guomo Mansion hurried in with a copy of the prayer: "Brig Commander, Mr. Wang, there is a Mr. Jiang who claims to be a brigade elder classmate, asking for a meeting."

Tang Guomo was shocked and grabbed the visiting post. When he opened it, his face became gloomy and gloomy. Wang Shuping saw something wrong and hurriedly ordered the housekeeper to go down first, then took the visiting post from Tang Guomou and took a look. He sneered and said to Tang Guoqian: "I am congratulating the general!" "Master?" Tang Guoqian looked at Wang Shuping with fear and was the title of "Master" as a general, and only a warlord who was a first-level warlord in the inspection level was used. He was just a brigade commander, so why should he be called the general?

Wang Shuping smiled and pointed to the three big words "Jiang Zhiqing" on the post: "This Jiang Zhiqing must be the instructor to assassinate Governor Li? You are………"

"Old classmate, I am a quick-study classmate in Baoding. It happened many years ago."

Wang Shuping smiled and said, "How is the brigade commander going to treat this old classmate?"

Tang Guomo gritted his teeth and spit out two words: "Shoot!"

Wang Shuping shook his head: "I don't believe that the brigade commander will do that!"

Tang Guomo asked back, "What else can you do if you don't kill it? Do you still have to be regarded as a guest of honor?" "What's wrong?" Wang Shuping leaned into Tang Guomo's ear and whispered: "Brig Commander, the key issue now is to become the governor! As for the means, it's not important to be a thief... As the saying goes, a thief bites his mouth and makes three points! If we have evidence to prove that Zang Zhiping secretly communicates with the revolutionary party, then..."

At this time, Sa Zhenbing was in the Naval Academy in Ponywei, holding a cup of coffee and chatting with several naval generals and gentry from Fuzhou. Yang Dizhong also sat beside him with a smile.

The navy of the Republic of China was the world of Fujian people, and most of the top figures in Fuzhou were related to the navy. After hearing about the Marine Corps, they would be stationed in Fujian. Naturally, the celebrities and gentry in Fuzhou were no longer happy.

Just as everyone was talking about you, I was describing the beautiful vision of "Minist people governing Fujian" in the future, a naval lieutenant rolled in and crawled in. Before he could stand firm, he shouted loudly: "Not good! No good! Li Dashui was assassinated, Li Dashui was dead! The city of Fuzhou has been martial law!" Sa Zhenbing was shocked when he heard this, and half a cup of coffee in his hand fell to the ground. With a clatter, the porcelain pieces were broken all over the ground! The gentry of Fuzhou who was sitting again made a burst of breathing sounds. Although Li Houji was not very good, he was also a person who maintained peace on the ground in Fujian. Now he asked someone to kill him, but I was afraid that Fujian Province would be in chaos!

"Has the assassin caught it? I know who did it?" Yang Dizhong asked in anger.

"I don't know the specific situation. The news of Li Dashen's assassination was made by the brigade of the 10th Mixed Brigade of the Army called to inform... The army has been martial law in the whole city and is arresting assassins, so he told Gong Ding not to enter the city for the time being. Brigade Commander Tang of the 10th Mixed Brigade will come to visit Mawei in person later."

At this time, Sa Zhenbing had recovered from the initial shock and had a complicated look on his face. He stood up and hurriedly nodded to the gentry of Fuzhou, then left the reception room, and Yang Dizhong followed him out.

"Ding Gong, this is a rare opportunity for us!" Yang Dizhong ran to Sa Zhenbing in two steps in three steps and whispered.

Sa Zhenbing sighed softly: "But how many soldiers from the five companies have made?"

Yang Dizhong said: "Our navy is a local snake in Fujian. Whether it is Zang Zhiping or Tang Guoju, they are just outsiders. If they want to firmly sit in the position of governor of Fujian, they must support us!" Sa Zhenbing said lightly: "What is the price? What do we want?"

Yang Dizhong smiled and said, "Territory! We need territories! As long as we have territories, our land battle camp can become a land battle brigade, a land battle division!"

Sa Zhenbing suddenly stopped, looked back at Yang Dizhong with a eager face, and sighed: "Dizhong, you have to remember that we are the navy after all, and the ocean is our real land..." He smiled bitterly again, reached out and patted Yang Dizhong on the shoulder: "But in the current situation, we can only go ashore first... Well, you go and send someone to contact Tang Guomo, Zang Zhiping, and Chang Ruiqing, ask them for their increase in size. Whoever gives more territory will support whoever we support!" "Chang Rui also wants to contact us?" Yang Dizhong was stunned for a moment and said: "His qualifications cannot be the governor, governor!"

Sa Zhenbing sneered and pointed at himself: "Then are my qualifications enough for a Fujian governor?" Yang Dizhong was stunned when he heard this, and smiled all over his face, and nodded vigorously: "Enough! Mr. Ding is enough for his qualifications! Mr. Ding, I understand what you mean. I will go to Longyan in person to meet this brigade commander Chang Da!"

At this time, Chang Ruiqing was talking about something secretly with Wang Qi, the commander of the 11th Mixed Brigade.

"...King Kaigong, Li Houji died suddenly, and Fujian had no leader, and it was obvious that the Five Brigades fought for power. Among the five mixed brigade commanders in Fujian, the only one you are a local Fujian native.

At present, all the southern provinces are engaged in local governance. In this Fujian governor and governor, according to brothers, there is always a seat for Kai Gong. Our first-in-class brigade fully supports Kai Gong!"

Chang Ruiqing's fooling came from opening his mouth.

Wang Qi remained silent and didn't speak, just listened quietly there. He really never thought about the intrigue between the people and the people. He had long been a little tired of the intrigue between the people, and he also had a little desire to retreat deep in his heart. But the problem is, the throne of the governor and the governor came to him!

Once Li Houji died, the five mixed brigades in Fujian had no co-leaders. Not to mention the Fifth Brigades’ struggle for power, at least the situation of the Third Brigades’ struggle for power... Zang Zhiping and Tang Guomo were both clear and could tell without thinking. And Chang Ruiqing, who was in front of him, did not compete for the qualifications of the governor of Fujian and the governor, came to him,...... What should he do? Do he really push the position of the governor and the governor? Even if he was willing, his brothers would not agree, right?

Chang Ruiqing ignored his thoughts and said to himself: "In Fujian Province, except for Kaigong, Zang Zhiping and Tang Guomo are the most qualified to compete for the throne of the governor. But they are both unwilling to surrender now. Since Zang Zhiping entered Fujian, he has been suppressed by Li Houji's people. Now he has finally waited until Li Houji dies and is suppressed by Tang Guomo, he may not be willing to accept it. Tang Guoqian has now controlled Fuzhou, so it is unrealistic to ask him to give it up, so the two families will inevitably meet!

Judging from the strength of both sides, they are actually comparable. Although Tang Guomo has a stronger military force, he and Yao Jianping may not be the same. Most of the local civilian army in Fujian do not like Li Houji's troops and will most likely support Zang Zhiping. Therefore, the possibility of the two of them is the greatest, and then it will be time for our two mixed brigades to mediate. The result of this mediation is always to give Kai Gong a place in Fuzhou." (To be continued! ~!
