"Cai Songpo came here only to seek his former friend's place of residence," Tang said. Otherwise, it would be difficult for him to move a single step. We'll send more people to keep an eye on all the places he might go. If that was the case, wouldn't capturing him sooner or later? "This is called: Dig down the pit to capture tigers and leopards, and remove the fragrant bait, fish and claws!"
The two of them laughed out loud. Chen said in agreement, "This method works. Brother Tang is indeed shrewd and astute. If we do catch him, we will live up to the President's nurturing and trust. "
Tang Songpo, on his way here, must first pass through Xiangchu. He must stay in these two places for a few days, and I will go there myself to set up a trap for him. "If the two of us work together, we can guarantee that we can catch an extraordinary ant, not to mention capturing Cai Songpo."
"En!" Chen nodded in agreement.
Tang Biao Ming immediately stood up and said, "Brother, you are the one who will set up this place. I will take my leave now. Please listen to my good news. " He quickly led his entourage back to Hunan and Hubei to capture Cai Songpo.
Chen immediately ordered his agents and killers, "This is a matter of time. All of you, move out at the same time and monitor all of Cai Songpo's relatives and friends' homes. You have to capture him." "If any of you among us wants to hide Cai Songpo, I must do it by martial law."
"Yes, sir!" all the spies answered in unison. After that, they revealed savage expressions and began to move about everywhere.
As the saying went, good things never go out, while bad things spread like a thousand miles. Indeed, it was true. The news that Chen and Tang had secretly set up an inescapable net to plot the murder of Cai Songpo spread quickly.
The news spread to the Pharaoh Temple in Chengdu, causing the anger of all the monks in the temple. The temple elder was very concerned about the safety of Cai Songpo and feared that he would fall into the hands of Chen.
The elder called over the monks from the Shaolin Temple of Mount Song, who was staying at the Temple of Famon. The two of them pretended to walk in the shade of the temple and secretly tried to figure out a way to rescue Cai Songpo.
The elder said: "I recently heard that Chen officials and Tang Jianming are sending people everywhere to scout for Cai Songpo's resting place. Chen Tang and Chen are the governor of Sichuan Province, control three provinces of power, Yuan Shikai's lackey. They must have meant no good by looking for Cai Songpo. I heard that Cai Songpo has been very unfulfilled since he entered the capital to be an official. He did not know why he had come to Sichuan. We used to be friends, and we couldn't let him fall into the hands of Chen. This time, he must have done something amazing when he left the capital and came to Sichuan. I wanted to help him. "
"Cai Songpo is a righteous man and a rare good general, worthy of our admiration," he said. How do you want to save him? "
The elder said, "I still haven't thought of a way." Rufeng said, "This temple is big and has many monks. Everyone has their own martial arts." Why don't you bring him here? It's easy enough to hide a person here. "I expect that those people under Chen's command wouldn't dare to come here and use force so easily."
The elder laughed, "That's exactly what I was thinking. I was only afraid that my young monks would go and be killed by Chen's men on the Tsai Songpo Road. If we lose, we will harm the general. "
When he heard that, Ru Feng immediately became angry. He pounded his chest and volunteered, "It's easy to take over." "I am willing to go and fetch him, and I can guarantee that no mishaps will happen." The elder laughed out loud. "I just wanted you to go and fetch him, yet you said what I wanted to say. The only one who will be victorious against this will be you. "
It was only then that Ruo Feng realized what was going on. "So you called me here. So there was a group of people waiting to trap me. What an ambush." After saying that, the two of them laughed.
Rufeng was a daring and daring monk. He was both good and warm-hearted. He was always competitive and had a unique martial art from the Shaolin Temple. He had been invited by the Revolutionary Party to serve as Sun Yat-sen's bodyguard.
Because this person had always been idle, his temperament was cynical, and he was not used to being restrained, he quickly left Sun Yat-sen. Wherever he went, he would act in a chivalrous manner, and when he saw injustice, he would lend a helping hand. Robbing corrupt officials and punishing bullies was something he often did.
Behind his irreverent attitude, he was full of humor and amusement. He had many chivalrous stories, and they were widely read in the people. In his early years, he had joined the Boxer Regiment, and in recent years, he had also participated in the Bailang Intifada, stealing away Zhang Zhenfang's fifty thousand silver taels. The Qing government had sent out a warrant to capture him. Yuan Shikai and Zhang Zhenfang were still thinking of ways to capture him. Not to mention.
However, Rufeng was still an impatient man, so he asked the Elder, "Fellow Taoist, do you know where Cai Songpo lives now? I will go and fetch him now. "
The elder smiled. "You're a crazy monk." He said that he was in a hurry, like a burning fire. He said that he was working slowly like a cow. Cai Songpo had just arrived in Sichuan, such a large country; how could I know where he was all of a sudden? It will take some time to understand.
Rufeng said, "Chen Tang and Chen Yu have sharp claws and many eyes and ears. When you find out where Cai Songpo is, it is possible that he has already fallen into Chen's hands. There's no time to lose. We have to think of a way as soon as possible. "
As expected, the elder became anxious and thought for a while. "I think that when Cai Songpo came to Sichuan, there should be three main locations for him to rest. The first is where Captain Zhao Zhen is; the second is Fa Hua Temple; and the third is where I am. This used to be where he used to live. "
"I know Captain Zhao's house and the Temple of Fa Hua," said Rufeng. "Why don't I go take a look?" The elder nodded in agreement.
After some deliberation, the two returned to the house. The Elder wrote another letter and prepared a package for them, which he handed to Ru Feng.
Rufeng carried a few silver coins, packed his things, and hurried on his way. He walked for a few days and arrived at the Fa Hua Temple. He asked the elders at the temple and found out that not only did Cai Songpo not come here, but that this place did not know of the news of him entering Chuan.
When Rufeng heard that Cai Songpo didn't come, he finally felt reassured. He stayed the whole night and hurried to the garrison camp, Captain Zhao's place.
Arriving at Captain Zhao's house, Ru Feng told Captain Zhao about how the elder wanted to save Cai Songpo, and showed him the elder's handwritten letter.
Captain Zhao said, "I heard that the general has already entered the river and has yet to arrive at my place. I don't know where he is. Right now, Commander Chen is secretly sending people around to find his whereabouts. Our officers meet once a day and keep a close eye on him. If he was careless, his life would be in danger. I'm worried about him. "
Rufeng then bid farewell to Captain Zhao, preparing to look for him in private. As he walked along the road, he thought to himself, "It's been a while since I left the temple.
Chen may have secretly captured Cai Songpo. I might as well go to the Chen family and find out what's going on, grab one of my henchmen and ask, then make other plans. If a person is indeed caught, I will smash the supervisor to save him, and that would save a lot of trouble. " He made up his mind, asked for the Chen family's address, then hurried back to the Chen family.
So what about Cai Songpo? He was truly a courageous general who did not fear death. Since he and Liang Qichao left Beijing, they broke up in Tianjin. Liang Qichao disguised himself as a teacher and business boss who lobbied for Yuan Shikai's envoys to contribute to the uprising, at the same time contacting various revolutionary parties.
Cai Songpo had been secretly visiting old military friends to get them to join the uprising. From Tianjin, Shanghai and Hangzhou all the way to Sichuan, he had been secretly interviewing military personnel.
When he arrived in Sichuan, he went to the homes of the officers who served under Chen. These officers were all his former subordinates. They were all concerned for his safety and kept it a secret from each other, so that Chen could never find out where Cai Songpo was.
The Chen officials were afraid of concealing something, so they gathered all the officers for a meeting. At the meeting, Chen was swindling the crowd while observing their expressions. He said, "The military order of this city's governor is like a mountain. How are the preparations I've asked you all to make?"
All the officers said, "We have arranged everything according to the Governor's orders, and are only waiting for Cai Songpo to arrive. But unfortunately, he didn't come. "
Chen said, "According to reliable intelligence, Cai Songpo has entered the river, afraid that someone might be hiding from him. I now have some clues about this. If there are people who know about this, quickly report it and don't miss the chance to get promoted. "
An officer coaxed him, "The governor must have misheard the rumors. Why didn't any of us hear that Cai Songpo had arrived in Sichuan? I'm afraid that you have already been captured by Commander Tang and have gone to Jie Jing to request for a reward. " Chen Yu shook his head. "I didn't say that." And he caught him, and he shall send word to me. " The officers coaxed him again.
Chen Yu still shook his head in disbelief. "From now on," he ordered with wide eyes, "you will find out the whereabouts of Cai Songpo and inform me immediately. Once a person has been found hiding away, he will be punished by military law and will never be forgiven! "
When the officers heard this, they could only wink their mouths as they replied, "Yes!" Thus, they all scattered, but they still hid it from him.
Cai Songpo figured out the officers' dissatisfaction with Yuan Shikai before finally arriving at Captain Zhao's house. Captain Zhao told Cai Songpo about the matter of the Pharaoh sending someone to look for him.
Cai Songpo was very happy and said, "I was just about to walk out of here and live there. What a coincidence! It's very good for the uprising. "
At this time, Ru Feng entered the Chen Mansion at night, grabbed the guards, and pressed them with his sword. He found out that the Chen officials had not yet captured Cai Songpo and did not know where he was.
After releasing the soldiers, Rufeng returned to Captain Zhao's house to take a look. When you saw Cai Songpo, you were delighted. He showed the elder's letter to Cai Songpo.
"The Elder is very concerned for your safety," he replied. "He's prepared to lend you a hand. I've come to pick you up." Chen's people are all over the streets right now, looking for you. It is not advisable for us to leave during the day. Tonight, the two of us will set off. "
Cai Songpo said: "Thank you for your care and help." I have heard about the capture of me from all directions. Thanks to the care and concern of my friends, I didn't end up in the hands of Chen. I was also planning to stay at the temple for a long time. "
After dinner that night, Ru Feng opened his bag and took out the Taoist attire that the elder had prepared for Cai Songpo. He asked Cai Songpo to change into it.
Cai Songpo took off his gown and changed into the Eight Trigrams Immortal Robe, but he also acted like a Taoist. He held another horsetail whisk in his hand. It was dark when the two came safely to the temple.
Shortly after Cai Songpo left for the temple, Liang Qi-chao contacted revolutionaries like Li Lie-jun and others. From then on, Cai Songpo, Li Liangjun secretly organized a revolt against Yuan Yuan in the temple.
As time went on, Cai Songpo began to worry as he realized that it was very difficult for Sichuan to achieve a major uprising.
One day, he discussed with Li Liangjun: "Now that there are two loyal dogs of Yuan Shikai in Kawagawa, Chen and Tang Yiming, it is very unfavorable for us to launch an uprising. The forces that can be mobilized here to join the uprising add up to a very weak one. We can't get away with this here. It would be better to go to the Yunnan area. It is connected with the area where the revolutionaries gather, Kwong Kung, Guangdong Province. Once there is an uprising, there will be a lot of responses, and we have a good chance of success. I was transferred to Sichuan by Yuan Shikai and then back to Beijing. Yun Gui Chuan has my old subordinates. Don't look at Tang Jiyao, who is now the governor of Yunnan province, he controls the government. If I go, those soldiers can still call for reinforcements and follow my orders. "Tang Jiyao won't be able to do anything to me either."
Li Liejun immediately agreed, "I had the same intention long ago to change the center of the rebellion. We, the Revolutionary Party, are also quite powerful in the area of Yungui. "
Cai Songpo promptly decided, "Then it's decided. We will change the rebellion center to Yunnan. We went first to persuade Tang Jiyao, and then to persuade Lu Rongting to treat them courteously. First, we will take control of the cloudy and cloudy areas in our hands. We're leaving in a few days. Return to Guangdong and Mr. Liang Qichao for further activities. I personally went to Yunnan to bring back the old tribe, to hold Tang Jiyao and Guangxi's Lu Rongyan. " After some deliberation, the duo was delighted.
