At this moment, the temple master knocked on the door to introduce a young gentleman. This man was a good friend of Cai Songpo's, the head of the Shanghai information station, High Key.
Cai Songpo was very happy to see him. He held his hand and asked for warmth. He then personally poured a cup of water for him and said, "It's been hard on you, so there's nothing good for you here. Please forgive me. We'll talk while we drink tea. "
High key saw Cai Songpo, even more happy, said: "Since you left Beijing, we friends are very concerned about you. I was afraid that you would fall into the hands of Yuan Shikai's henchmen. There's a lot of wind outside right now. Yuan Shikai has sent out secret orders to all places, and there are spies all over the place scouting for you, preparing to kill you. To that end, I have been entrusted by all my colleagues to come to you and remind you to take special care of your safety. " When everyone heard this, they all began to worry for Cai Songpo's safety.
Cai Songpo noticed the tension in the crowd and laughed, "Ah, so Yuan Shikai is trying to encircle and annihilate me. So he must be afraid of me. The more it is like this, the happier I am. " Everyone was teased.
Cai Songpo added, "Everyone, don't worry. I know that before Yuan Shikai dies, he won't be able to do anything to me. I must get him out of office and return him to the Republic. " Once he said this, everyone felt much more relaxed.
"What other activities does Yuan Shikai have?"
"There are signs that Mr Yuan has stepped up his pace of recovery," said Gao. The Emperor of Japan had recently sent a special envoy in secret, a man who was traveling back and forth between the Zong and Yuan Shikai. Japanese Black Dragon Society agents suddenly appeared outside Beijing in large numbers. These people were moving around, no one knew what they were up to. In our analysis, this must have something to do with Yuan Shikai's restoration. "
Cai Songpo changed his smile upon hearing the news and immediately became worried.
After careful deliberation, he sent for the men from Rufeng. He first told him about the recent events in Beijing, and then told him about it. "In order to find out the secret between Yuan Shikai, the clan and the Black Dragon Council, and to grasp some of Yuan Shikai's activities, and to cooperate with the rebellion, I would like to invite the Great Master to personally visit Beijing. You go there and lead our intelligence staff. When you get there, on the one hand, you have to gather information in a timely and accurate manner, to monitor Yuan Shikai and the others, and on the other hand, you have to organize sabotage of their plans. Because there are Black Dragon Secret Service agents involved, and they are all highly skilled and well-trained people, it's hard for our people to deal with them. Our intelligence community is vulnerable to their attacks. In all respects, I think it is most appropriate for you to go. "
Ruo Feng nodded and accepted the assignment. Rufeng said, "I was just thinking of taking a walk in the capital." If the Japanese Black Dragon Society's special agent dares to harm our country, I'll capture him and kill him. " The crowd cheered. Cai Songpo also told Ru Feng a lot of things.
The next morning, Rufeng set out on his way. As a result of the defeat of the Second Revolution, he and many of the revolutionaries had been forced into a corner by Yuan Shikai. He hated Yuan Shikai to the bone.
Li Liejun chased after him, caught up with him and said, "Master, when you arrived in Beijing, you waited for an opportunity to kill Yuan Shikai first, and then caused his government to lose its leader. "This way, it will be easier for us to start something."
He nodded. "Killing him is as easy as killing a chicken. I'm afraid the consequences will be unthinkable." Li Liangjun said: "With Yuan Zhe dead, Beijing became a mess. People from all over the country must be trying to promote Sun Yat-sen's master plan. There was nothing to worry about. If we kill Yuan Zhe, we might be able to restore the Republic without using our weapons. "
Rufeng nodded thoughtfully. Seeing that he had agreed, Li Liejun was overjoyed. He mounted the horse and bid his farewell. From then on, Rufeng went to Beijing at dawn and stayed at night.
Pressing down Cai Songpo Li Liejun temporarily did not show. On the other hand, Monk Rufeng had gone through a long and arduous journey and had come to Beijing during the day.
Once out of the car, he was caught in the middle of a bustling crowd. Following Cai Songpo's directions, Rufeng first went to a nearby information station. He wanted to understand the situation here and find a temporary place to stay. He looked at the door and saw that it was a small grocery store. There was a yard in the back and several houses in the yard.
The moment Ru Feng entered the shop, he attracted the attention of the owner. Rufeng showed him the code words, took off his hat, and said: "Amitabha, do you have water here?" "I, who walk far away, am so thirsty that I want a glass of water."
The owner replied hurriedly, "Yes, yes, there's cold water, hot water and even tea. The store warmly welcomed guests that came and went. Master, please come with me. "
Now that they had established a relationship, both of them felt joy in their hearts. The owner of the shop responded to the other customers and led him to a room in the courtyard.
They sat down and the shopkeeper said, "Master, General Cai has sent you directly. We have received your notice." "Welcome!" The two of them exchanged a few polite words before Ruo Feng said, "This poor monk is a reckless monk. I can't do a meticulous job." It would be difficult to turn down a request given to him by a general. We will depend on the support of our peers in the future. "
The owner of the shop said, "I have long heard of the high monk's outstanding martial arts skills, his chivalry and righteousness, and his rough ways of doing things with care. We are willing to listen to the Master's commands and work together to deal with the Japanese Black Dragon Guild's special agent. "
Rufeng said, "It's said that the Black Dragon Guild of Japan is very powerful and organized. I don't know much about them, so you should tell me more about them first. Tell me what kind of relationship they have with Yuan Shikai recently. "
So, as he drank water, he listened to the owner of the shop. The owner of the store said, "The Black Dragon Guild of Japan is a special organization used to invade our country. It has many ears and eyes. Among their members were monks and nuns, men and women alike. All of them had martial arts skills and believed in Japanese martial arts. They are engaged in all kinds of destructive activities in our country. "
After he finished talking about the Black Dragon, he told Rufeng about many things that had happened in Beijing in the recent past. After listening to the story, Rufeng had a basic understanding of the situation in Beijing.
The owner said, "Master, you are here at the right time. Yuan Shikai is having a meeting in the Heaven Altar in the afternoon. The street has already begun to quiet down."
"What kind of meeting is it?" Still need to be quiet on the street. " The shopkeeper said, "Every time Yuan Shikai goes out, he has to stay in the quiet street. He has the posture of a feudal emperor. We do not know the details of today's meeting. It was probably a meeting that Yuan Shikai was preparing for his revival. We don't know who exactly participated. "Our people are learning a lot."
Rufeng got up and said, "When we arrived, General Cai told us to find out the secret between the Central Committee, the Black Dragon Society, and Yuan Shikai. Keep an eye on the sabotage of their plan of action. I want to go out again. "
The owner said, "We found out a little about their secret. We were about to send it to General Cai."
"The Heaven Altar Conference has much to do with the recent activities of the Black Dragon. Once we have the details of the meeting, we will send it to the general together. "
He continued, "I'll go to the Heaven Altar." After which, he lifted his foot and prepared to leave. The owner stopped him, "Master, you came from afar, so you should rest today. It's easy to get noticed when you go there. There is no need for the Master of Labor to go himself. The streets were full of special agents, so it was very dangerous for them to go out and listen to the wind. Master won't go. "
"It's fine, it's fine. I want to see what Yuan Shikai looks like." He waved his hand.
The owner could not stop him, so he sent him to the street. He pointed towards the road and said: "We are simply walking from here. We will pass through that alley again to get closer to the Heaven Altar. Master has a lot of weight. "
Rufeng looked ahead of him, then turned around to leave. Following his directions, they walked around a corner into an alley. To his surprise, he saw that the place was packed with people of all kinds. Only when Rufeng asked around did he learn that these people were hungry people who were planning to flee to the northeast from the provinces of Central Plains. Looking at the crowd once again, there were men, women, children, all sorts of things. All of them were dressed in shabby clothes, and their faces were yellow and skinny. He had to go on among the hungry.
It turned out that the officers and police had gathered all the hungry people who had come to the alleys of Beijing. Because Yuan Shikai had just exterminated the rebellion of more than a hundred thousand people, he was afraid that the rebel army would rise again. Therefore, when he saw the horde of hungry people, he became even more afraid. They were about to gather these people and order them to return home.
He had just made it to Hu Tong's mouth when he looked up and saw the officers and police were using guns and whips to drive the hungry people away. They were still gathering from several directions. The sounds of beating, cursing, crying, begging, begging, all intertwined together. It was as if the music constituted a desolate and sorrowful melody, making those who heard it to never forget the vile times, making them feel heartache and bone deep sorrow.
After seeing this, Ruo Feng rushed forward. He wanted to get out of the alley before the officers and police arrived. He didn't want to, because he was too fat and it was inconvenient for him to squeeze through the crowd. When he saw Hu Tong's face and how crowded he was, he moved out of the alley step by step.
At this time, a large number of soldiers and police officers had already sealed off Hu Tong's mouth. No one paid him any attention when he was among the starving people. At this moment, the officers and police were all looking at him. Seeing that he was about to leave, she wanted to stop him no matter what. The policeman whipped him.
"Amitabha, this humble monk is a local monk. I wish to return to the temple. As I was passing by, please allow me through."
As the policeman was about to interrogate him, the soldiers drove him away and said, "Go on, go on! "Since you are a local monk, don't get involved here." Rufeng took the opportunity to leave quickly.
When they were far away, Ruo Feng's heart was at peace again. He looked around as he walked. He seemed to be looking at the beautiful buildings.
In fact, he was watching for spies. Rufeng looked at him warily a few times, but no one followed him from behind, and neither did anyone from his left or his right. Only then did he let go of his feet and run forward with ease.
After a few blocks, he came to a stop near the altar. Seeing that there were very few people here, the atmosphere suddenly became much quieter. He walked out of the alley and looked forward. Suddenly, a sinister and terrifying feeling overcame him. He saw many soldiers with guns standing around the altar.
Ru Feng was stunned. He couldn't help but stop. Before he could go any further, a guard shouted at him from a distance, "Hey! This place was under martial law, so all pedestrians had to take a detour. Otherwise, kill them all! " Rufeng understood, and slowed down his steps, deliberately teasing him, and continued forward.
As soon as the guard saw this, he became anxious. Swinging his spear, he pointed it at Ru Feng and shouted loudly, "Hey! Monk, stop right there! What are you deaf for? I'm talking about you. "
