At 15:00 on November 13, 1935, a weak woman, accompanied by the chanting of good men and women, shot and killed Sun Chuanfang, who had been the commander-in-chief of the Five Provinces Coalition Army, in front of the Buddha! This earth-shattering case shocked Tianjin Wei for a while! In turn, it shook the whole country. At the time of the crime, male and female believers were sitting together in the main hall of the Buddhist hall chanting the sutra. The first row was filled with male believers, including Sun Chuanfang, who was wearing a blue coat and robes, and a coat of Daoist robes. In the second row sat female believers, of whom Shi Jianqiao was behind Sun Chuanfang.
In October 1925, Sun Chuanfang established the Zhejiang-Fujian-Suzhou-Anhui-Gansu Alliance, established the Five-Province Alliance, appointed himself commander-in-chief, sent a telegram to seek tribute, and launched a general attack on Xuzhou in three ways. The Fengjun general Shi Congbin (Shi Jianqiao's father) intercepted Sun Chuanfang head-on under the strict orders of the warlord Zhang Zongchang. Shi Congbin rode back and forth in an ironclad car to and from the overseers. On November 2, the two armies fought fiercely at Guzhen, north of Bengbu in Anhui. As a result, Shi Congbin was surrounded on three sides, and his soldiers were defeated and captured. Sun Chuanfang ordered his men to tie him up with wire and escort him from Guzhen to the Bengbu Station Headquarters. Although some people around him pleaded not to kill the captives, Sun Chuanfang insisted on beheading Shi Congbin, and the head was hung at Bengbu Station, where he was violently killed for three days. Shi Jianqiao's third uncle risked his life and transported Shi Congbin's corpse back to Tongcheng, Anhui Province, in the name of his fellow villagers, for burial.
Shi Jianqiao
In April 1928, the Nationalist government in Nanjing launched the Northern Expedition again, and Sun Chuanfang, who was then the governor of Shandong, fled in defeat and resigned by telegram. After the September 18 Incident in 1931, he moved to Tianjin and became a Yugong in the British Concession. In April 1934, he bought a Qingshu Zen monastery in the southeast corner of Tianjin City, renamed it "Jutulin", and appointed himself chairman. Putting down the butcher's knife and becoming a Buddha on the ground, the warlord Sun Chuanfang, who killed people like a hemp, became a Buddhist layman and a high monk. He gathered in the Buddhist hall every Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday, and the good men and women gathered together. Unexpectedly, Wednesday, November 13, 1935, became Sun Chuanfang's festival day, and he lived for 50 years.
After Shi Jianqiao won the hand, he shouted, "Don't be afraid, I am avenging my father!" Leaflets were distributed, which stated the reasons for the assassination of Sun Chuanfang, and there was also a "letter to the people of the country." The flyer reads:
1. Today, Shi Jianqiao (formerly known as Gu Lan) killed Sun Chuanfang to avenge his father Shi Congbin. Second, please read my "Letter to the People of the Nation" for details. Third, the great vengeance has been repaid, and I will surrender myself to the court. 4. Blood Spattered Buddhist Hall, shocking you, I sincerely apologize to Gu Shilin and all gentlemen. The revenge woman Shi Jianqi was carefully enlightened.
There is also a poem at the end of the flyer:
Father's vendetta does not dare to forget when the film is not filmed,
More painful Xuantang two sideburns cream.
Fear of seriously injuring motherhood,
The timing should not be prolonged
Can't look back ten years ago,
Things are still self-migrating.
Often go to the forest and worship the Buddha,
The sword prays for death and does not seek immortality
Shi Jianqiao did indeed turn himself in, and on the night of the return of the first sub-bureau of Tianjin, director Yan Jianqiao interrogated the female criminal Shi Jianqiao: The female prisoner Shi Jianqiao now lives in the house of No. 176, No. 10 Road, the British Concession in this city. Born in 1905 in Jinan, Shandong Province, now 30 years old, formerly known as Gu Lan, originally from Tongcheng, Anhui. From an early age, he received a private school education at home. Due to her mother's poor health, she became a housekeeper at the age of 13. She has cultivated the hardworking, simple, righteous and bold personality of Shandong girls. She was deeply loved by her father, wrapped her feet around her feet, and lived in a boudoir. She was 20 years old when her father, Shi Congbin, was killed in 1925. During the interrogation, Shi Jianqiao looked serene and told that the revenge had lasted more than two hours. Sometimes while crying, the scene is so beautiful that the listener is unmoved.
Here's her confession to her face, which shows how she avenged her father:
Shi Jianqiao said: After my father was killed, he left behind five of my younger siblings and my old mother, and the whole family was in mourning. I am the eldest daughter, and I made a vow at that time that I would avenge my father! For this vendetta, I married Shi Jinggong, a man I did not love. He was a native of Taiyuan, Shanxi, and served as the head of the spy unit of the Shanxi warlord Yan Xishan. At that time, he came to Jinan on a business trip and lived in my house, and he ended up taking a fancy to my big lady. I offered to marry him on the condition that I avenge my father's murder, and he agreed. In 1928, I was twenty-three years old and married Shi Jinggong. On the day of our marriage, we both swore in front of my father's portrait that we would avenge my father. After marriage, I returned to Taiyuan with my husband and had two sons: Dali and Erli.
In 1935, Shi Jinggong was promoted to brigade commander, but the revenge was postponed again and again, and finally he was rejected. I cut him off in two, took my two sons and left, and returned to my mother's house in Tianjin. At that time, one of the two sons was 7 years old and the other was 2 years old. From this year on, I was determined to avenge my father," for which I wrote a poem: "Repeated sacrifices for my father's vengeance, and not repaying every year makes people sad." Obsessed with asking for help, the result still needs to be self-explanatory. "I changed my original name to Shi Gulan to Shi Jianqiao, and I changed the names of my two sons as well. Dali is called "Golden Blade", Erli is called "Yu Yao", the names of the brothers are combined to be "Sword Warp", I have nothing to leave in the world, after death, I will leave my name to my son.
One day, I passed a fortune teller stall with a lot of celebrity photos posted on it. I stopped to look inside, and it turned out that I really found Sun Chuanfang, thinking that this was Providence, and the enemy I was looking for was originally living in the Tianjin concession! I began to prepare for the revenge operation. I had my little feet wrapped around me as a child, and it was inconvenient to move. I went to a hospital to do foot release, and the doctor said that the bones were formed, and the toes had to be operated on one by one, and then grow well, and they had to suffer a lot. I say I'm not afraid to suffer.
Another day, I was listening to a radio broadcast at home, it was Master Sun Zhiyuan, a director of the Jutulin Buddhist Association, who gave a lecture, and his accent was similar to that of a Shandong person. I hurried to wait at the door of the Renchang Radio Station, and sure enough, I saw Sun Chuanfang walking out from the inside, exactly like him in the photo. The car he was in was a black sedan with the number 1093. At that moment I was very excited, ten years of resentment, ten years of hard searching, old things, I finally saw you! I have a Browning pistol at home, which my brother bought from Zhu Qiping, a classmate of the Japanese Army Non-Commissioned Officer School, and has been stored in my house temporarily.
Since I was a child, I used to play with my father's gun under my pillow, knowing how to load bullets and how to shoot. This year, September 17 of the lunar calendar, is the day of the 10th anniversary of my father's death. I couldn't pay homage at home, for fear that my mother would be upset. I ran to the Kannon Temple on Garden Street in the Japanese Concession to burn paper to sacrifice the undead. When the monk saw me crying on my knees, he came over to comfort me, saying that taking refuge in Buddhism would relieve the troubles of the world. I asked, is there any spiritual experience for the super-degree undead? The monk said that there was indeed a spiritual experience, otherwise why would celebrities such as Sun Lianshuai and Premier Jin believe in Buddhism? I immediately stopped crying and asked, "Sun Lianshuai?" Is it Sun Chuanfang? "Yes! I immediately offered to participate, and the monk gladly agreed.
There are many Gushilin believers, and my pseudonym "Dong Hui" is mixed in. Soon learned about Sun Chuanfang's activity rules, he would go to Jushilin every Wednesday and Saturday to listen to lectures. I was ready for everything and decided to act yesterday. But it started to rain early yesterday morning. I was worried that Sun Chuanfang might not come, so I didn't wear a coat or a gun, so I went to Gu Shilin to inquire first. When I got there, Sun Chuanfang's seat was empty, and there were not many people listening to the scriptures below. I was disappointed.
At this moment, Sun Chuanfang, dressed in robes, walked into the Buddhist hall. I hurried home from the car, put on my coat, loaded my guns and flyers, and hurried back to Gushilin. Behind Sun Chuanfang, I shot Sun to death and avenged my bloody revenge! I didn't feel scared at the time and sent out a few leaflets to the crowd.
Above is Shi Jianqiao's confession. After Shi Jianqiao turned himself in, he became a defendant in Sun Chuanfang's family, and Sun Chuanfang's family demanded that the murderer be severely punished. The Shi family had also been trying to rescue them, and after the first and second trials, they were sentenced to seven years in February 1936.
Later, Feng Yuxiang was found through relationships. Feng Yuxiang and Shi Jianqiao's fourth uncle Shi Congyun simultaneously launched the Luanzhou Rebellion at the end of the Qing Dynasty, and they had a deep friendship. Feng Yuxiang, together with Kuomintang elders Yu Youren, Li Liejun, Zhang Ji, and other members of the Central Committee, jointly petitioned the Supreme People's Court to be exempted from criminal punishment, petitioned the Nationalist government for amnesty, and tried his best to rescue Shi Jianqiao, who was serving a prison sentence. People paid strong attention to the Shi Jianqiao case, and people were touched by Shi Nü's filial piety and righteousness, and had a lot of hatred for the warlord Sun Chuanfang.
Shi Jianqiao's hometown of Anhui Province, all walks of life have sent out telegrams, for the chivalrous woman Shi Jianqiao is uneven, of which the energization of all the teachers and staff of The Anhui Provincial Huizhou Normal School and the students of the two departments of men and women is particularly eye-catching:
The Party Department of the Central Committee of Nanjing and the heads of the ministries and commissions of the National Government have all learned:
Newspapers, popular groups and women's associations throughout the country have learned:
The case of Tongcheng Shi Jianqiao, avenging her father, assassinated Sun Chuanfang and was sentenced to seven years in prison by the Tianjin High Court. The National Women's Association, jiangning, Yangzhou, Jiangdu women's association, anhui society in Beijing, Tongcheng, Sucheng and other counties have successively sent telegrams to appeal for relief, and to help the case to be granted amnesty. Gai saw the righteousness of revenge in Zhou Li Chunqiu, the matter of giving to his daughter, ten years of ambition, avenging his father, a successful blow, and turned himself in on the spot. In the case of ancient and modern times, its Fang Lie is no different from the Eastern Han Dynasty's daughter Zhao E's revenge on behalf of her father. The government should follow the example of the ancient righteousness, return the car to the home, and pay tribute to the tin to show its filial piety. In fact, Sun Chuanfang had rejected the revolutionary master in the south, and now the matter of shi jianqiao, directly to restore the revenge of the father, indirectly that is, to eliminate the harm to the country, please give a special pardon, so it is also appropriate. Filial piety can be reserved, the crowd should be obedient, I would like to appeal, special telegram to smell.
At that time, many people also believed that Shi Jian's 10 years of revenge for his father was "a great filial piety, and heaven and man learn from each other", and finally the chairman of the Nationalist government, Lin Sen, issued an amnesty order in October 1936. Actually realized the willingness of the people in Shi Jianqiao's hometown to "send the car home".
After spending nearly 10 months in prison, Shi Jianqiao was pardoned and released from prison. In order to ensure the safety of Shi Jianqiao, the government deliberately published false information on the time of shi Jianqiao's release from prison in the newspaper before he was released from prison to divert public attention. In fact, Shi Jianqiao left the prison on October 20, and the police sent three cars to welcome him out of prison, Shi took a middle car to the railway station, and took the Pingyu express train four times to Beiping. At the time of the station, there were many detectives who were closely protected. Shi Jianqiao was released from prison, and his specifications were comparable to those of the Fuehrer. Since then, the name of a generation of filial piety and martyrs has spread throughout Shenzhou, and Shi Jianqiao has lived until 1979.
