As Wu Shaoting's assassination swept the north like an infectious disease, the young general once again became a prominent figure in the country. A kind of tension in the dark enveloped the situation just now. After the Song Jiaoren case, another shocking murder of the murder was soon caused by the shocking conspiracy. Whether in the north or the south, whether in the Beiyang government or various local forces, all were shocked and nervous after learning about this.

What is going on? The Guangdong War has not reached a settlement, which one should Yuan Shikai sing?

Yuan Shikai shouldn't be so stupid. He would be so brave to get rid of Wu Shaoting at this time?

If there is someone else, who is going to kill Wu Shaoting?

There were many speculations and disputes for a while, and although no one dared to make a conclusion easily, the fluctuations brought by this assassination case have made all forces unsteady. On the surface, everyone did not make any comments, and they acted as waiting and waiting for the truth, but private conspiracy and small actions have become increasingly fierce.

In just four or five days, the southern provinces even began to discuss whether to make a big move with this excuse. Lu Rongting, Li Chun, Liu Xianshi, Liu Cunhou, Tang Jiyao, and even Tang Xiangming, who took office, had direct telegram contacts with each other in these few days, and they had tested each other first, and then got to the point. They all had a big move, but this game was definitely not aimed at the Beiyang government, but re-dividing the power distribution of the southern provinces.

However, until the facts are not yet determined, they still dare not act rashly, just waiting for the opportunity to come, or others will take the lead in fanning the flames.

Not long after, the people's *** started to make a noise. Although many people didn't know the truth of this incident, Wu Shaoting was assassinated in the ***, and it was near the Presidential Palace. How could this not make people imagine? Whether it was a scheming or a purely nonsense, it added fuel to the fire for a while, making the incident hype very vigorously. Although the spearhead was not explicitly stated, no matter from any angle, it was inseparable from the Beiyang government.

Although the popularity of the people was the most popular among the people, the Beiyang government had just launched a military force to fight against Mongolia not long ago, and it was immediately covered up. Some people were even speculating whether the Northern Expedition to Mongolia would be just a fake move, with the purpose of inducing Wu Shaoting to go north to Beijing and then assassinate it!

By mid-June, the signs of domestic disasters were getting worse and worse, and everyone in Xinhuamen felt the pressure increased.

In the large study in the back hall of Huairen Hall, Yuan Shikai was confused and read the telegram in his hand. This was a report on the situation of various provinces just sent to him this morning. On the surface, everything seemed to be in control without any big moves. But he knew very well that it would be natural to have movements. How could such a big thing not have any reaction at all?

After putting down the telegram, he reached out and unbuttoned the collar of his dress to make his breathing more comfortable, while preparing to speak out. But at this moment, the attendant outside the door sang loudly: "The Chief of Foreign Affairs, Lord Lu, is here!"

Everyone in the study room turned their eyes to the door. Lu Zongyu stepped in with sweat. In the past, he would have been very particular about holding a cane, but today, let alone the cane disappeared, even his hair was messy with sweat.

Yuan Shikai stood up from his seat, stared at Lu Zongyu and asked, "What is the attitude in Dongjiaomin Lane? What have the foreigners said?"

Lu Zongyu took out a towel to wipe the sweat from his forehead, sighed and said seriously: "The situation is not good. The British and Russians only said high-sounding words, so that we can quickly bring the murderer to justice. Rui Enshi didn't see anyone. He heard that he was drunk last night and has not yet gotten up. The Frenchman said he would not interfere with this incident within our country; but the German minister Fabbins was very tough. He said that this matter was too shameful. If the president, you can't give an explanation, you're afraid..."

He didn't finish his words, and Yuan Shikai didn't ask. Although Yuan Shikai was very unhappy with the foreigners' threat, these details were not important at this critical moment. What was important was that they had to get along with each other to solve the problem. It was obvious that this incident was very serious, and even the foreigners did not want to continue to expand their influence, and they were even afraid to avoid it.

At this time, Duan Qirui, who was standing beside him, suddenly asked Lu Zongyu: "What is the attitude of the *** person?"

Lu Zongyu was about to mention the last trace of pretty good news, and he sighed slightly and said, "The attitude of the Japanese minister is the best than that of other ministers. He said that no matter what happens, *** will definitely support the position of the President." After saying that, his face slightly calmed down, thinking that this news could more or less relieve the current tense atmosphere.

However, Lu Zongyu miscalculated, and Yuan Shikai snorted coldly, and the sad face did not dissipate at all.

"*** People can only say it on their lips. In short, this matter is already very troublesome. The attitude of foreigners is self-evident. They don't like this matter very much. I'm so angry that I'm so angry. Who is going to frame him? Even if his grandmother wants to do something, at least he has to take a little farther away." His fat face turned red, which was a typical angry look. He had known for a long time that Wu Shaoting was a troublesome person, but he didn't expect that trouble would cause him so quickly. It was really unlucky.

"President, we still need to arrest the murderer as soon as possible to clarify the suspicion of our Beiyang government. The General Police Department has clues. They have found many witnesses from the crime scene, which can roughly outline the appearance of the murderer. I believe that the result will be soon." Yang Shiqi said comfortingly.

"His grandma's leg, you just said this sentence yesterday, but the fucking nothing has made." Yuan Shikai cursed.

"President, arresting murderers is an important matter, but we should also be thoroughly prepared for the most urgent matter." Duan Qirui said tentatively after calming down.

"Perfect preparation? What are you planning to prepare? Zhiquan, don't tell me what you mean is to let me Chen Bing Hubei and various provinces be alert? When is this time? I can think of such a bad idea. Before the truth has come out, we Beiyang have already started to take other precautions. Isn't this trying to cover up Miya and not to tell oneself?" Yuan Shikai said angrily.

"But the President, if someone takes the opportunity to make trouble, we will suffer." Duan Qirui said earnestly.

"We have suffered a great loss now! Don't say much about other nonsense. It has been several days. No matter how hard we have to come up with a solution, if we can't catch people, we can't get this into Beiyang!" Yuan Shikai said loudly.

The big study room suddenly lost its words, and everyone present could only sigh.

Yuan Shikai felt more and more angry when he saw this scene. The dignified Beiyang government was in such an embarrassing and unsolvable situation. Could it be that the Beiyang faction fell into a rumor?

At this moment, Zhang Yiao, who had been thinking for a long time, reluctantly stepped forward and tried to say: "President, judging from the current situation, the person who tied the bell needs to untie it!"

Everyone's eyes fell on Zhang Yiao. Yuan Shikai frowned. Although his face was still not good-looking, his anger finally weakened. He quickly understood what Zhang Yiao meant and murmured: "You mean, if you want to solve this problem, you have to rely on Wu Shaoting to come forward?"

Zhang Yiao nodded deeply with consent.

Duan Qirui immediately objected: "This is simply a fantasy. Now even Wu Shaoting himself is not sure who is going to assassinate him. Now he is rushing to leave *** and return to Guangdong. It can be seen that he is also suspicious of us in his heart. Isn't this asking for trouble for him to come forward to help us?"

Yang Shiqi nodded repeatedly and said in agreement: "Mr. Duan said this very well. Our trouble now lies with Wu Shaoting. How can Wu Shaoting come forward and explain it to us easily?"

Yuan Shikai looked solemn and said nothing, as if he was sitting in a fierce ideological struggle.

Zhang Yiao said again: "President, although General Wu has doubts about this matter, I believe General Wu is definitely not a person who can't tell the difference. At this time, as long as the President is willing to show his sincerity, General Wu will never fail to appreciate it! What's more, if General Wu insists that the President is the suspect at this time, it will not be of any benefit to him."

Yuan Shikai nodded slightly. He heard the key content from Zhang Yiao's words. Since he did not intend to take Wu Shaoting's life, if Wu Shaoting insisted that it was his own actions, it would not benefit him in turn. From this perspective, things may not be without a turning point.

Duan Qirui was very unhappy when he saw Yuan Shikai's temptation and immediately said, "President, Wu Shaoting is definitely not that easy to talk to. He has already arranged a train to Shanghai in three days. If we want to ask him to come out to rescue him, it is not as simple as sincerity, but more importantly, it is to give him substantial benefits."

Yuan Shikai narrowed his eyes slightly, as if he was talking to himself: "He still has the intention to get benefits from this matter? His life was almost lost here!"

Zhang Yiao said: "President, why not let me give it a try. It's an opportunity, maybe it will be done."

Yuan Shikai was silent for a while, and he tried to test that it was necessary, and he did not lose anything to himself. He nodded and said decisively: "Okay, you will go first tomorrow... No, you should go in the afternoon. The sooner you complete it, the sooner I feel more at ease. This matter cannot be delayed."
