Travel through the Qing Dynasty and become emperor

Chapter 461 Yuan Keding Was Arrested

In the Governor's Mansion of Singapore, Yuan Shikai learned the truth from Lan Xiang. At this time, the interrogation of the two assassins finally took shape.They were indeed ordered by Fan Xuecheng, and their purpose was to assassinate Yuan Shikai. Originally, they were guarding halfway to intercept and kill Yuan Shikai, but on the way they found that Yuan Shikai's defense was very tightly arranged, and it was impossible to start. After some discussions, Fan Xuecheng decided to go straight to the Governor's Mansion for the assassination.They also made two preparations for this. If Yuan Shikai returned to the mansion, he must take his head back. If Yuan Shikai had not returned to the mansion, they would kill Lan Xiang, because Fan Xuecheng increasingly found that Lan Xiang had the possibility of betrayal. Anyway, now that he has decided to attack Yuan Shikai, keeping Lan Xiang will be a disaster sooner or later, it would be better to kill her to make a big deal.

Speaking of the reason for killing Yuan, apart from the deep grievances between the two mentioned earlier, the assassin also confessed to one thing that made Yuan Shikai furious!This incident was a dispute formed between Yuan Keding and Fan Xuecheng in order to compete for the perfume gold. This incident finally made Fan Xuecheng finally move the idea of ​​killing Yuan.

In fact, Fan Xuecheng has always been loyal to the emperor and the imperial court. He heard and witnessed many shady deeds of Yuan Shikai in Singapore, and reported them to the emperor in secret form over and over again, which was also praised by the imperial court.

Fan Xuecheng had known for a long time that the emperor was not at ease with Yuan Shikai, and Yuan Shikai also had a different heart, so after Fan Xuecheng wanted to assassinate Yuan Shikai secretly, with his identity and status in Singapore, it is very likely that the emperor would hand over the seat of Governor of Singapore to him .After making this wishful thinking, he selected two outstanding soldiers from the army to be assassins. These two men are veterans who have followed Fan Xuecheng for many years. They are absolutely loyal and their hands are very clean. He is the perfect candidate for this assassination mission.

Since Yuan Shikai was not in the mansion, the guard of the Governor's Mansion was relaxed a lot. Fan Xuecheng had an eyeliner in the Governor's Mansion to guide the way, and the two quickly changed into the servants of the Governor's Mansion. When they came to the inner house, the previous assassination scene was staged.

When Yuan Shikai heard the news, he slapped the table angrily and shouted, "Where's Lao Liu!"

Time was running out, Lao Liu hurried over and said in a low voice, "My lord, what is your mission?"

Hey, Yuan Shikai took pictures of the two assassins' confessions on the table, "Look, these are the confessions of the two assassins, weren't you present just now? Didn't you say that the eldest son inspected Haiphong in Malacca? How do you explain these confessions! "

Old Liu didn't read these confessions, fell to his knees with a plop, and said in a sad voice: "My lord, forgive me for my nonsense, this is what the eldest son told me before he left, and the villain dare not disobey it. Please forgive me, my lord." Let's do it this time."

"Let me ask you, what did Keding do?" Yuan Shikai's eyes were fierce, as if he was going to kill someone at any moment.

"My lord asked, but I have no choice but to tell the truth. The eldest son has gone to Geylang."

"Geylang? Where are you going?"

"Go find a woman named Perfume Gold"

"Don't hesitate, will you?"

"Yes."

Yuan Shikai was furious, "This ignorant bastard, my Yuan family's style has been ruined by him."

At this time, Yuan Kewen came over with a smile and said: "Father, you are right, during the time you were not at home, my elder brother hung out with that sister-in-law all day long, and took what you said before you left as fart. I'm different, just ask Lao Liu, I've been discussing current affairs with private school teachers at home every day, have I improved a lot during this period?"

"Bah, don't I know you about your virtue? Don't make noise in my ears, get out!" Yuan Shikai pointed at Yuan Kewen angrily. Seeing that the limelight was wrong, Yuan Kewen hurriedly hid outside in fright.

"Where is Keding now?" Yuan Shikai asked.

“At 'Long Xiang Zhai' in Geylang.”

"Let's stop talking nonsense, hurry up and inform the guard group, prepare the vehicle, and I'll go find this unworthy bastard right now!"

"Yes."

Geylang, cage Xiangzhai.

Yuan Keding smiled and said: "So it's Commander Fan, why, you are not in the barracks on business, why did you come to Geylang?"

Fan Xuecheng said with a gloomy face, "You are Yuan Shikai's son Yuan Keding, right?"

The flesh on Yuan Keding's face twitched a few times, and he said angrily: "What are you, you dare to call my father by his first name, is that what you can say!"

Fan Xuecheng chuckled and said, "Yuan Shikai is nothing to me. Let me ask you, what are you doing here today?"

"Let me ask you first, what are you doing here?"

Fan Xuecheng sneered twice and said: "Don't say it's you, even Lao Yuan will be courteous when I see you, let me tell you clearly, I have a crush on this woman, and she will be my Fan Xuecheng from now on. If you want to touch her with a finger, don't blame me for turning my face and denying people!" As he spoke, he patted the pistol on his waist.

"So what can you do if you turn your back on me? Let me tell you that Perfume Gold has long been my Mr. Yuan's woman, and no one should try to catch her attention! Otherwise, don't blame my ruthless subordinates!" Yuan Keding appeared out of nowhere. His courage confronted Fan Xuecheng.

At this time, Perfume King hurried over, covered his face with a handkerchief and said, "Stop making trouble, stop making trouble, what if something happens. I'm just a miserable weak woman. If you really make trouble An accident, how can I bear it!"

The more Perfume Jin said that, the jealousy in the hearts of the two men became stronger, Fan Xuecheng took out a pistol from his waist, pointed at Yuan Kewen's chest, and said word by word: "So, you just don't give me this face? "

Yuan Kewen also took out a small exquisite pistol from his arms, and said to Fan Xuecheng: "Look at which of the two of us has the fastest gun today, and whoever falls here first."

Xiang Xiangjin had never seen such a posture before, she thought it would be nothing more than a fight or a few quarrels between the two sides, but she was about to die, she collapsed on the chair with a slamming sound, and did not dare to utter a sound .

Suddenly, with a bang, the door of the house was kicked open from the outside, and a group of heavily armed soldiers rushed forward, subdued Yuan Keding in no time, tied him up firmly, and paid him back. weapon in hand.

Yuan Keding was a young man after all, he couldn't stand a group of soldiers to clean him up, he beat him with three punches and two kicks and begged for mercy.Fan Xuecheng leaned over and said with a sneer: "My lord, aren't you very powerful, kill me with a gun, bah!"

"Commander, how to deal with this kid?"

Fan Xuecheng circled Yuan Keding twice, waved his hand and said, "Take him back to the barracks first."

"Yes!"

Ten minutes later, Yuan Shikai brought the guards of the Governor's Mansion to the "Cage Xiangzhai". Although the old bustard had never seen Yuan Shikai, he had always seen the photo of the Governor of Singapore. Afraid, hurried forward to say hello in a panic: "Oh, I didn't expect the governor to come, the hall will prepare refreshments for you, and Xizi will hand over all our aunts for you to choose." She smiled flatteringly. Came over and said: "My lord, do you have a good friend in our 'Long Xiangzhai'? If so, I will bring her here to have a few drinks with you right away."

When Yuan Shikai saw that the old bustard was angry, he didn't make a fuss. He pushed the old bust aside, stood under the patio, looked around for a while, then turned around and asked the old bustard, "Has Yuan Keding been here?"

The old bustard's face changed, and he thought that he would be very obedient now, "I've been here and just left."

"Where did you go?"

"Commander Fan of the Ninth Army came here just now, and the moment he met Mr. Yuan, he got into an argument, and even touched the smoking guy."

"Ah!" Yuan Shikai turned pale with shock. Although Yuan Keding was unworthy, he was his own son after all, and his eyes were red at the moment, "Shots were fired? Is Ding'er okay? Where is he now?"

The old bustard took a few steps back in fright, and said in a trembling voice, "Before I shot, I was captured by a group of soldiers."

"Where did you catch it?"

"It seems to be the headquarters of the Ninth Army"

"what!"

Inside the Governor's Palace of Singapore.Yuan Shikai sat on the lazy chair and sighed for a long time. Cao Rulin, the government affairs officer of the Governor's Mansion, said: "My lord, we can't wait any longer. You know who that Fan Xuecheng is, but he has always been at odds with you and our Governor's Mansion. Besides, This man is a bandit, he will do anything if he is in a hurry, and if the eldest son falls into his hands, it is undoubtedly the same as falling into the devil's lair."

Yuan Shikai said angrily: "It's best to kill that unworthy son. Before I went to Beijing, I repeatedly told him to stay at home and study on the one hand, and on the other hand to deal with government affairs, but this bastard dared to go to Geylang behind my back." Yaozi, you have completely disgraced Yuan Shikai, I wish Fan could have a good time for him right away!"

Liang Shiyi, the director of the general office, persuaded: "My lord, don't be restless. It's useless to get angry at this point. We have to quickly come up with a perfect plan. My lord, if you look at me, you should give in to the golden body. Go to the headquarters of the Ninth Army in person. As the saying goes: people are afraid of meeting, and trees are afraid of being skinned. No matter how much rift there is between the two parties, you have given him enough face by calling on him in person. No matter how arrogant he is It is impossible not to take you as the governor seriously, I think only in this way can the eldest son's life be saved."

Lu Zongyu, the head of the security department, didn't take Liang Shiyi's words seriously, and patted himself on the chest and said, "Impossible! Let us, the governor, pay a visit to a small army commander in person, and it won't make people laugh when it gets out. He turned his head and said to Yuan Shikai: "My lord, this matter is on my shoulders. I will now take the people from my security department and the security officers from the Public Security Bureau to the Ninth Army to find the important person Fan Xuecheng. If he is obedient Let’s let go of the matter of handing over people, if you dare to insist on not handing over, if it’s not good for me, he will lead people to flatten his military department, just to eradicate Fan Xuecheng, this bastard for my lord!"
