The true biography of Yaqiao, the first chivalrous king of the Republic of China

Chapter 28
"Old Jiu, you're here! Leping... died a terrible death!"

Once entering the palace, the lights inside were brightly lit, people were coming and going, and everyone's expressions were serious.When Chang Hengfang saw Wang Yaqiao, she opened her hands and hugged him tightly, crying like a tearful man.Chang Hengfang was usually very calm, but today she was extremely sad.Wang Yaqiao wept while comforting his old friend.

Afterwards, they drove together to the coroner's office of Tongren Fuguangtang in the French Concession.After entering the morgue and walking to the mortuary bed, Wang Yaqiao gently lifted the sheet, only to see Wang Leping's eyes were wide open, his teeth were clenched, with a look of reluctance to die.

"Brother Wang, who is so vicious?!" Wang Yaqiao leaned over the corpse, crying loudly, "Leping! Leping! What's wrong with you? Wake up!" His whole body trembled and his voice was hoarse.The whole room cried loudly, and everyone wiped their noses and tears.

After a while, the staff persuaded the guests to the lounge one by one.Chang Hengfang, Wang Yaqiao, Wang Yaying, and Wang Zhenmin (Wang Leping's daughter) all had drunken eyes and voices like broken gongs, so they could only talk in low voices.Everyone chattered, and Wang Yaqiao basically understood some of the eyebrows of the assassin during the assassination:
On the evening of the 18th, Wang Leping discussed work with everyone in the secret room. At 23:23, everyone else dispersed, only Pan Xueyin and Zhao Linxiang did not leave, and there were still things to discuss with Wang Leping.In order to strengthen security, Wang Leping asked the security guard He Peizhi to be on duty in the duty room at the front door, and the male servant Kang Ruizhai was waiting at the entrance of the escalator downstairs.The two sentry posts will send a signal to the third floor whenever there is a situation. At 30:[-], suddenly, four men rushed in from the front door, and without saying a word, they shot He Peizhi.He Peizhi was very vigilant, injured his left hand, and fell down in response, lying down and pretending to be dead.The four assassins seemed to be familiar with the road, and went straight to the stairs; when the incident happened suddenly, Kang Ruizhai, who was dozing off, was shot head-on and fell to the ground before he could react.The four assassins rushed to the secret room in one go; Wang Leping had a bad feeling when he heard the gunshot, and was about to draw out his gun to defend himself, when the door was kicked open, and bullets poured over like a torrential rain... All three were shot, and the four assassins were shot. The assassin fled immediately.The whole assassination process was done in one go, just like rehearsed.

Wang Zhenmin and the others were awakened by the fierce gunshots and dared not speak out; when the gunfire stopped, she hurriedly called the police.

Not long after, the nearby policemen arrived and went upstairs to investigate.At this time, Wang and Pan had passed away, and Zhao Linxiang lay on the ground moaning.Inside, tables, chairs and the floor were riddled with bullet holes and shell casings were strewn about.After patrolling and taking photos and inspecting the scene, the dead and injured were immediately sent to Renji Hospital and Tongren Fuguangtang Autopsy Office. After investigation, Wang Leping was shot seven times and his body was covered in blood...

"Old Nine, Le Ping's death is too tragic, this revenge must be avenged!" Chang Hengfang held Wang Yaqiao's hand tightly and repeatedly urged.

"Report, definitely report!...I have asked Baozhen to send someone to Renji Hospital to protect Zhao Linxiang, in case he is killed by the assassins. As long as Zhao Linxiang is around, he can get some specific clues. In addition, please use the inside line Find out who the murderer is as soon as possible." Wang Yaqiao comforted.

After returning home, in order to guard against the enemy's assassination, under everyone's persuasion, Wang Yaqiao began to study the art of makeup carefully...

On the afternoon of March 3, Chang Hengfang came to the residence of the second wife of Wang Yaqiao, met Wang Yaqiao, and handed him some newspapers.

Wang Yaying made a pot of green tea, poured a cup, and gave it to Chang Hengfang.

Wang Yaqiao opened the newspaper and saw frames drawn with red pencils. The "Republic of China Daily" reported on February 2: "Wang Leping was stabbed to death in his apartment in Shanghai. Chairman Jiang took this case as a matter of great importance. He sent a special telegram to order Xiong Shihui to arrest the murderer, thoroughly interrogate him to reveal the truth, and ordered him to be the king first." The next day, it was reported: "Wang Leping was assassinated in Shanghai. Chairman Jiang said that although Wang was wanted by the government for reactionary, but he did not have nothing to do during the Northern Expedition, he felt sorry for him. He sent a special telegram to order Xiong Shihui to arrest the murderer. 21 yuan to send money."

"Revolution Daily" is the organ newspaper of the reorganization faction, which was founded at the end of 1929.In a "Notice" on March 3, it was written: "On the 1nd of this month, someone from the Garrison Command, Wang, brought Chiang Kai-shek and offered a bribe of 22 yuan to come, claiming that it was used for the funeral of the late father. Why did the late father The world has already known who caused the death. When the culprit has not yet been crowned, whoever in Zhenmin endures hatred and bribery should sternly refuse. I am afraid that the outside world will not know the truth, so I hereby publish a statement in the newspaper. Wang Zhenmin weeps."

It turned out that after Wang Leping's death, Chiang Kai-shek ordered the Shanghai police to solve the case within a time limit, arrest the murderer, and sent special personnel to Wang's family to condolences, and sent 2000 yuan as a condolence gift.The Wang family refused to allow Chiang Kai-shek's representative to enter the house, and even refused to accept his pension.In order to show his will, with the help of famous lawyers Shen Junru, Li Cishan and others, Wang Zhenmin wrote this "Revelation" to set the record straight. On February 2, the "Notice" was distributed to various newspapers in Shanghai, but the Shanghai Husong Headquarters issued an order that it was strictly prohibited from being published.Only the "Revolution Daily" published against the wind.

"'Grass Head Jiang' really knows how to act!" Wang Yaqiao said.He became more and more disgusted with Chiang Kai-shek's demeanor, unwilling to call him by his first name, so he specially nicknamed him "Caotou Jiang".

"Have you found the mastermind who assassinated Wang Leping?" Wang Yaqiao asked.

Chang Hengfang took a sip of tea and said, "Guess who? I didn't expect Zhao Tieqiao to do such a thing!"

Then, Chang Hengfang talked about some evidence.First, on February 2th, when the reorganization faction held a meeting, Zhao Tieqiao received the notice, but did not show up; , but Zhao Linxiang, who was seriously injured, still saw that there was a killer who looked and acted very much like Zhao Tieqiao.

Wang Yaqiao nodded.In fact, through channels such as Chen Mingshu, Hu Hanmin, and Sun Ke, he has already learned evidence of Zhao Tieqiao's betrayal of friends for glory.In order to let him prove his loyalty and sincerity to him, Chiang Kai-shek asked him to "shoot" the reorganization faction, so there was the incident of Zhao Tieqiao leading a team to assassinate Wang Leping.

"Old Nine, Zhao Tieqiao lives in the world for a day, Leping can't close his eyes for a day under the Nine Springs, and I can't let go for a day!" Chang Hengfang's eyes were red, and he sighed.

"Yeah, I hate a villain like Zhao Tieqiao the most in my life!" Wang Yaqiao said while walking on the ground, "The difficulty in China is that there are treacherous heroes who exercise power, and there are villains who flatter you. People who are disorganized and trustworthy Too little. Tell the truth, Brother Fanhou, Zhao Tieqiao is not dead, I also drink like blood and eat like maggots. I wish I could cut off his head immediately and offer it to Brother Leping's altar!"

"Okay, I have the guts!" Chang Hengfang stood up suddenly and said, "What I want is your words! Lao Jiu, it's time to do it!"

Wang Yaqiao nodded.Then he sighed softly again.

"Here!" Chang Hengfang took off a Swiss gold watch worn on her left wrist, handed it to Wang Yaqiao, and said, "Old Ninth, take it and give it to the brothers for activities!"

Wang Yaqiao took a step back and said, "Brother Fanhou, what are you doing? How can I take your things?"

"Hold it!" Chang Hengfang forced the gold watch into his hand, and said, "I know that there are many people who eat with you, and you also need to provide financial assistance to the families of brothers who sacrificed their lives and went to prison. I have long wanted to help You, but you also know that I have been an official for a long time, my official title is not low, and I have handled tens of thousands of silver, but I am not righteous and do not stand up, it is not my own, I am not greedy for a single cent... This gold watch is the most valuable thing on my body, just accept it, it is for sale, it will always be worth thousands of dollars. Do it early, don't let the villain live too chicly. "
