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

Chapter 82 Yu Likui Was Extradited to Shanghai

After Yu Likui was arrested, Li Jishen asked Du Qizhang, the general manager of Tung Wah Hospital in Hong Kong, to come forward and help him hire a small lawyer, Xian Bingxi.According to Hong Kong law, junior lawyers cannot go to the high court to defend, but the parties are not allowed to hire barristers themselves; after the case file was transferred to the high court, Xian Bingxi helped him hire British barrister Owen.

Afterwards, it was learned that after Yu Likui was captured, Dai Li was very optimistic, and immediately ordered Chen Yichuan and Chen Ziping to use the clue of Yu Likui to find and capture Wang Yaqiao.

Chen Yichuan is a member of Huoqiu Sanliuji, Anhui Province, and has worked in the Military Command Shanghai Station for a long time.Since Wang Yaqiao was on the "blacklist" of Dai Li's pursuit, because he is a fellow of Wang Yaqiao's Anhui Province, and Wang Yaqiao's fellowship has a strong concept, so Dai Li entrusted him with a heavy responsibility, appointed him as the leader of the hunting team, and provided a lot of money. event expense.Chen Yichuan thought that this was a great opportunity for him to make a fortune and succeed in official career, so he worked very hard. In the winter of 1930, he found out that the Jingdu Apartment on Pope Road (now Taicang Road) in the French Concession of Shanghai was a gathering place for fellow Anhui villagers.So, he rented a room and called Wang Xiaochu brothers.He learned that Wang Xiaochu and Wang Yaqiao had a deep relationship, so he invited Wang Xiaochu to the tavern many times, praised Wang Yaqiao as the pride of Anhui people, and hoped to worship him as a teacher and join the "Axe Gang".However, Wang Xiaochu knew Wang Yaqiao's rules very well, so he just didn't say anything.Soon, Chen Yichuan left without saying goodbye.

In January 1936, Chen Yichuan came to Hong Kong. He pricked up his ears and searched everywhere for Wang Yaqiao's whereabouts.So, he had nothing to do, so he wandered around the Maoyuan silk cloth shop.One day, he saw a man rushing into the Maoyuan silk cloth shop, and he was startled: "Isn't this Yu Yanong?" He had acquaintance with Yu Yanong once, and Yu Yanong's face had obvious scars, which was easy to identify.In order not to be suspected, he hid in the distance, and after more than an hour, when Yu Yanong walked out of the silk cloth shop and walked a hundred meters, he walked forward as if meeting him unexpectedly.

"Oh, aren't you Brother Yanong? What a coincidence!" Chen Yichuan extended his hands and greeted warmly.

"You are?" Yu Yanong asked.

"I'm Yichuan, Chen Yichuan, from Huoqiu. We are from Anhui, we met in Shanghai..."

"Oh, it's Yi Chuan. You... how did you get to Hong Kong?"

"Me? Hey, don't mention it, isn't it just to make up for this?"

Therefore, Chen Yichuan kindly invited Yu Yanong into a small tavern to reminisce about the past.Because he was a fellow villager, Yu Yanong didn't want to refute his face, and hoped to take the opportunity to learn about his real situation, so he agreed.After getting drunk, Chen Yichuan scolded the corrupt Nanjing government and poured out the bitterness of his unemployment. Finally, he proposed that he would ask Yu Yanong to introduce him to Wang Yaqiao as his teacher, and fight against the reactionary government.

"Brother, it's not that I don't want to help you with this favor. To be honest, Wang Yaqiao is haunted. I don't know where he is hiding now." Yu Yanong declined.

Although Yu Yanong didn't help, but considering that he was helpless in Hong Kong as a little fellow, he was moved with compassion and promised to introduce him to some things at the right time.Therefore, Chen Yichuan went to look for Yu Yanong every other day.

After listening to Yu Yanong's report, Wang Yaqiao didn't say a word.Wang Yaying thought for a while, and said, "Now Brother Ninth is a wanted criminal by the Nanjing government. At this time, Chen Yichuan is here to seek refuge. I'm a little uncertain. We should be more cautious, and military spies are everywhere."

Yu Yanong also felt that this matter was a bit strange and a hidden danger, so he hurriedly moved and cut off contact with Chen Yichuan.

The clues just discovered burst like colored bubbles.Chen Yichuan regretted it in his heart, but he was even more aware that Maoyuan Silk Cloth Shop had a lot to offer.So, he ordered his subordinates to keep an eye on Maoyuan Silk Cloth Shop day and night.However, Wang Yaqiao is not suspicious of employing people. He learned that Yu Yanong met Chen Yichuan by chance on Hennessy Road, and thought that the stronghold of Maoyuan Silk Cloth Shop might have been exposed, so he quietly exchanged it to other people.

After capturing Yu Likui, Chen Yichuan made up his mind: This time, we must step up our efforts to prevent Wang Yaqiao, a cooked duck, from flying away again.He learned that Yu Likui's lawyer was Xian Bingxi, so he found out where he lived, and brought four or five people into Xian's house, holding a gun in one hand and a large stack of banknotes in the other, and let Xian Bingxi choose.Xian Bingxi forgets righteousness when he sees profit, and is bought by Chen Yichuan to become an "eyeliner".Regrettably, Yu Likui has been on the rivers and lakes for many years, and he is very vigilant. No matter who mentions Wang Yaqiao, he instinctively avoids it. As a result, Chen Yichuan did not get many valuable clues from Xian Bingxi.

However, Chen Yichuan didn't just eat for nothing. He closely monitored Yu Likui's residence and found that every month someone remitted 50 yuan to Jin Shixin.The sending address and handwriting are changeable, and they all come from Guangxi.From this, he deduced that Wang Yaqiao was hiding in Guangxi.

According to Hong Kong's legal procedures, in general criminal cases, if there is no solid evidence, the person should be released within three months.However, due to the insufficient evidence provided by the Nanjing government, the time for hearing Yu Likui's case was repeatedly pushed back.It was not until May 1936 that Dai Li secretly sent 5 yuan to the Hong Kong police according to his verbal promise. He was extradited to the Nanjing government.

British lawyers questioned.It was inconvenient for the presiding judge to explain, so he said: "The Nanjing government has accused Yu Likui of so many crimes, and one or two of them must be true."

Seeing that the Hong Kong court favored the Nanjing government, Yu Likui pinned his hopes on organizing a rescue and appealing to the Royal Court of Justice in London, England.It was inconvenient for Wang Yaqiao to come forward, so he asked Li Jishen.

On the third day after the verdict was pronounced, Li Jishen sent his wife Shuang Xiuqing to find Jin Shixin, saying: "Ren Gong is very concerned about Likui's affairs. The 'Guangdong Incident' has been resolved peacefully, and Nanjing and Nanning have reached an agreement not to pursue political prisoners. Kui’s matter is political, and there is no problem going to Nanjing, and it may be released within a few months; if he appeals to London, it will take more than a year, and a huge sum of 3 yuan will be needed, and he is still not sure of winning. My opinion is that it is best not to appeal, please consider it.”

Yu Likui had no choice but to accept Ren Gong's opinion and decided to withdraw the appeal.But he also thought that if the national government insisted on extradition, he would definitely die if he went to Nanjing; instead of being humiliated and dying in Nanjing, it would be better to judge himself in Hong Kong.As a result, he felt depressed and wrote a will, a manifesto, self-examination and several sentimental poems.When Jin Shixin came to visit the prison, he found signs of her husband committing suicide, so she brought her young child and tried to persuade her, but Yu Likui was firm.Jin Shixin wiped away her tears, picked up her two-year-old son decisively, and said to her husband through the iron railing: "Li Kui, if you don't want to live, who will our orphans and widows rely on in the future? What's the point of living? As long as you say No word, I will kill the child on this pillar immediately, and then I will jump into the sea!" After she finished speaking, her eyes showed despair, and she really wanted to hit the child on the pillar.Yu Likui collapsed to the ground, completely dispelling the idea of ​​suicide.

On September 9, in order to show his demeanor as a general, Chiang Kai-shek visited Guangzhou Jiyuan in person and visited Li Zongren who came to shake hands and make peace.After all, the two are brothers who have been worshiped before, and after a few pleasantries, the years of hostility were resolved.The backbone of the Xingui faction was entrusted with important tasks by the Nanjing government. Li Zongren was the director of appeasement in Guangxi Province, Bai Chongxi was a member of the Standing Committee of the Military Commission, and Huang Xuchu was the governor of Guangxi.Ning and Gui are very happy.

Before leaving, Chiang Kai-shek seemed to mention a sentence in passing: "Brother Delin, we are brothers who have survived the hardships of the CCP during the Northern Expedition. After all, father and son soldiers have to rely on brothers to fight tigers. I got the exact information and assassinated Wang Jiu, the mastermind of Minister Song and President Wang, is currently hiding in Guangxi. He is a wanted criminal by the government, you see, should you hand him over immediately and punish him severely according to law?"

"Wang Jiu? Which Wang Jiu?" Li Zongren deliberately pretended not to know him.

"Wang Jiu, that's Wang Yaqiao, Wang lunatic!"

"Wang Yaqiao? I seem to have heard of this name, but I received reports that he is hiding in Guangdong." Li Zongren continued to pretend to be confused.

"This information was reported by Section Chief Dai himself, there is no mistake!"

"Well, Chairman, once I return to Nanning, I will ask Jiansheng to search all the mountains and rivers in Guangxi to see where Wang Yaqiao is hiding..."

"Delin," Chiang Kai-shek looked at him, and said in a deliberative and orderly tone, "You and I are both busy, so we can't do both. Let's do this, and I will entrust Section Chief Dai and Jiansheng to handle this matter. No more Let him run away. Let the tiger go back to the mountain, there will be endless troubles, endless troubles!"

On the same day, Yu Likui and Hu Dahai were escorted by the police to the cruise ship "Queen of Canada"; on the 20th, the cruise ship arrived at Qichangzhan Wharf in Pudong, Shanghai, and the two were escorted to the Shanghai Police Command...

Soon, Jin Shixin handed over the child to the nanny to take care of, and returned to Shanghai by boat. He often visited the prison, gave him food and clothing, and gave her husband a lot of comfort and encouragement.
