Qu Quansheng's novel "Vicissitudes" no. 25

Original bend full rope

For several consecutive days, Yu Tianhe and Jiang Wenyuan were exhausted when they arrived in Luoyang. The two were preparing to stay at an inn at the railway station, when they heard that there was a train to Shanghai in the afternoon, they immediately bought tickets and waited in front of the platform until the sun was west.

Because it is a private car passenger, the waiter on the bus is very polite. First send a hot towel to instruct the guests to cover their faces, and then bring hot tea and fruit plates to the guests to sharpen, telling them that the dinner train can only start to eat.

Yu Tianhe and Jiang Wenyuan are both taking the train for the first time, looking east and west, feeling very fresh. The two put away their luggage, suddenly heard the train shake a few times, and then drove out of Luoyang in the long whistle. Without much effort, the waiter pushed the food delivery trolley and knocked on the door. Yu Tianhe opened the box door and placed two dishes on the delivery trolley, each with two vegetarian and one meat, plus a bun. The waiter leaned back against the door of the box, while waiting for the guests to eat, introduced the station where the journey stopped and the time required, and also gave a detailed introduction to the famous landscapes and cultural landscapes along the way.

Yu Tianhe and Jiang Wenyuan finished eating, and conveniently put the tip into the plate. The waiter, with a tip twice as much as before, happily returned to the dining car. Tipping the waiter was specially instructed by Lan Liangcai, and said that the hotel in Shanghai was very happy with this set. To this end, the two specially let the two go to the money house to exchange two small silver tickets. Yu Tianhe and Jiang Wenyuan did not think about it, this time the tip was a shot, they were already generous in the eyes of the waiter, and they did not give special care to the two people along the way.

The sun is unknowingly carried away by the moon. Yu Tianhe and Jiang Wenyuan finished washing, locked the box from the inside, lay down in the spring sleeper, and fell asleep before saying a few words. When they woke up the next day, it was nearly noon, and the two were in a good mood. After lunch, I heard that the train was going to stop in Shinshu for half an hour, so I got off the train and played a few shadowless punches. This set of martial arts was originally created at the end of Sui, and was completed in the Sheng Tang Dynasty, which was passed down for the impermanent old way of Xiyue. Up and down nine nine eighty-one moves, the move is fatal. Where the boxing technique is exquisite, only the sound of the wind is heard, and no shadow is seen. Yu Tianhe and Jiang Wenyuan were worried about getting into trouble, so they only walked for less than twenty moves, and when they saw the crowd coming forward to watch, they closed their fists and got into the car.

The two were about to open the door of the box when a man and a woman stepped out of a private room in front of them. The man is about 60 years old, no braids behind the head, the hair is divided, the face is covered with Western-style eyes, a kneeless soap color cotton robe, black cloth cotton boots waist high ankles, giving people the impression of not being modern and not ancient, but also having poetry books. The woman is in her early 30s, with short hair, a plain face, a light blue cheongsam, black leather shoes on her feet, and a long figure like a Yushu Linfeng. It gives the impression of clear water out of hibiscus and natural carving.

Without waiting for Jiang Wenyuan and Yu Tianhe to enter the box, the man exclaimed, "Two martial arts masters, the boxing skills are fascinating, let me wait for the eye-opening." Lucky! Lucky! After saying that, he nodded his head and handed out two business cards with both hands. Yu Tianhe and Jiang Wenyuan took the business card, first hugged their fists in thanks, and then looked at the business card carefully, which was really surprising, and the man who was polite and polite standing in front of him turned out to be the famous Cheng Liren. Li Tianhe held the business card and bowed deeply and said: "The younger generations have eyes that do not know Taishan, and they can't imagine that they can meet Mr. Cheng here. A few years ago, it was rumored that Mr. Cheng had joined hands with Sun Yat-sen in Japan to form an alliance association, and the overseas Chinese in Japan all supported it, and they did not know when to return to Shaanxi Province. After saying that, the two guests were invited to the private room to drink tea and sit down.

Yu Tianhe knew that Cheng Liren was a native of Xi'an Dizhai, and that he was the same as Zhao Shuqiao and the first, and was the "Guan Xue" Hongru. Because of his disagreement with Zhao Shuqiao's attitude toward the restoration and change of law, he hung up his crown and left for Japan to assist Sun Yat-sen in forming an alliance association. Although Puyi has been on the throne for two years, the imperial court is still controlled by the "Iron Hat King", and Cheng Liren has even returned to Shaanxi regardless of the risk, and there must be a big deal to cook. The thought of this is inevitable and restless.

Cheng Liren probably saw the meaning of Yu Tianhe, and when the four of them sat down, the waiter held the tea, and Cheng Licai said: "This is my wife Junko Ryaki, a Japanese lady, who has changed her surname to Cheng Mu Junzi, and can be called Miss Junzi in the future." Now that the imperial court wants to repair relations with Japan, there will be no accidents in the personal safety of Junko by my side. This time he returned to Shaanxi for the funeral of his housekeeper, and then returned to Tokyo via Shanghai. Just now I looked out of the car window and saw the two brave men without shadows fighting tightly, and I knew that there was a township party as a companion on this trip. Don't know where the two got off the bus? ”

Although Mr. Cheng's self-introduction did not say much, he answered the main questions that Yu Tianhe needed to know, and narrowed the distance between the two from the heart. He glanced at Jiang Wenyuan and said, "Listening to Jun's words, it is better to read books for ten years, the two of us went to Shanghai to join Mr. Youren, and I heard that he is also a member of your alliance!" ”

After Cheng Liren listened, he was so happy that he held Yu Tianhe's hand for a long time without letting go. Jiang Wenyuan also happily took the initiative to put his hand over, Cheng Liren held Yu Tianhe's hand with one hand, and Jiang Wenyuan's hand with the other. Junko Yoshiki smiled and said, "Tendo has no relatives and is always with good people." Caution is as good as ever, and there is nothing wrong with it! ”

Yu Tianhe replied with a smile: "The rule of the noble saints is not expensive to rule alone, but it is precious that they can rule with all." Mr. Cheng and Mr. Yu helped Dr. Sun Yat-sen, and China was very fortunate! I'm so lucky! ”

Yu and Jiang and Cheng Liren met late, had a bottom number in mind about going to Shanghai, and asked about Mr. Yu Youren's situation in Shanghai.

Mr. Cheng said: "The death of the Qing Dynasty is expected, although the right brother is in prison, the imperial court does not dare to take him again, we will go to Shanghai and then contact the members of the league to consider the long term!" It was only then that Yu Tianhe and Jiang Wenyuan learned that Yu Youren had been imprisoned pending sentencing for running a newspaper that touched the Great Qing Criminal Law.

Yu Youren's case could not be decided, and it had something to do with the disagreement of the important ministers of the imperial court. Since the deaths of Empress Dowager Cixi and the Guangxu Emperor, and the three-year-old Puyi ascended to the twelfth emperor of the Qing Empire, a group of young Manchurian nobles had gained unprecedented political power. The average age of these princes and grandchildren is 34 years old, and most of them are full of talents, and most of them do not discount the reform. Therefore, I could not make up my mind for a moment about what to do with such a well-known revolutionary as Right Ren.

Most of the "five ministers" who went abroad to inspect advocated the closure of the newspaper house and expelled the right post from Shanghai. The first of the five ministers, Zaizawa, who was a relative of the imperial family, had a long talk with the former Japanese prime minister and meiji restoration elder Itō Hirobumi when he came to visit the Chinese delegation during his visit to Japan. Immediately after his return to China, Zaizawa became an advocate of constitutional monarchy. Yu Youren was only released after being detained for a short time, which was inextricably linked to the trend of restoration in the imperial court.

Cheng Liren lived in Japan for a long time, and although he had many contacts with The Country, he was limited to correspondence, and he was not clear about the situation of power and profit struggle within the imperial court and the intrigue. This special trip to Shanghai was to contact the members of the League to use the influence of the Japanese Concession to rescue Yu Youren from prison. Therefore, for Tianhe and Jiang Wenyuan's inquiries, it is difficult to answer them with one word.

On January 20, 2022, it was dismantled at the Xiejia Building on the banks of the Mianjiang River
