Chengdu Governor's Palace.

Cai Ye walked out of the Young Marshal's Mansion as before. The attendants at his side protected him to his left and right. Because the southwest has always been stable, these attendant officers seem to be dedicated, but the actual level of vigilance is not high. After all, Cai Ye has a good reputation in the southwest, and there are basically no overt resistance forces at present.

At this time, a rickshaw ran in front of the Governor's Palace. On the rickshaw was a young woman wearing a cheongsam, and it is not difficult to tell from the fat powder on her body that she was born as a prostitute, going out shopping or accompanying customers, which is common in the southwest. The biggest difference between the southwest and the northeast is that the northeast has strictly managed the Qinglou organization, allowing it to gradually shrink and disappear. Now that the results have been achieved, the Qinglou industry in the three eastern provinces has almost disappeared, and the prostitutes living in this industry have also turned professionally into good or secret prostitution. Of course, these are the results of the bright side, even if a force is strict, there is no guarantee that there is no darkness, the underworld forces in the three eastern provinces are like this, with the development of the northeast, the penetration of foreign ideas is extremely fast, the collision of conservative ideas and advanced ideas naturally leads to many social problems, many people can not accept the rapid change of social functions, mental depression, naturally extremely depressed. This has led to the prosperity of many underground forces, and the brothels are gone, but the secret prostitutes are still there, of course, this kind of secret prostitution basically exists under the guise of bars and dance halls. After all, the police in the Northeast are still very powerful. The word justice written by Feng Yong is the greatest constraint on the Northeast police. Of course, prostitutes still exist elsewhere in the Northeast, after all, it takes time for this bad habit that has been passed down for thousands of years to be completely suppressed. However, in the southwest, although the Southwest Governor's Office has also introduced some management measures, it does not mean to reduce the Qinglou, after all, the tax provided by the Qinglou industry is very large, which greatly contributes to the recovery of the strength of the southwest. The southwest is different from the northeast, the southwest is located inland, and if it were not for the Yangtze River waterway to connect the east and west, it would be difficult for them to connect with the world. Even if there is a waterway of the Yangtze River, the main trunk is still controlled by Beiyang, which greatly restricts the foreign trade of the southwest. In this case, even if Cai Ye has the intention to ban the Qinglou, but under the weak financial urging of the southwest, it is difficult to succeed, and these Qinglou Chu Pavilion are inextricably linked with the largest local underworld force, the Pao Brothers' Association, and even many Qinglou are the industries of the Pao Brothers' Association, this kind of potentially huge power naturally makes the southwest government quite jealous.

There are few vehicles in the southwest, and cars are rare in the whole southwest except for trains. Even Cai Ye, who is the governor of the southwest, did not have a special car to take when he went out. Cai Ye himself does not pursue these things, so naturally he doesn't care very much, and now that the southwest is financially tight, he naturally won't waste money on this. And Cai Yi's health is not good, although there has been a special medical team to recuperate for him, but his physique is still not very strong, those doctors suggested that he do a certain amount of exercise every day, with Cai Yi's identity, walking is a good exercise.

Rickshaws can be seen everywhere on the streets of Chengdu, and rickshaws are the most distinctive thing in this era. But when the most inconspicuous rickshaw passed by Cai Yi, the speeding rickshaw driver quickly took out a pistol from his arms. He aimed his gun at Cai.

Smack!

A burst of blood floated on Cai Ye's chest, and he fell down in disbelief, and the people around him were stunned by this scene, when he reacted, Cai Ye had already fallen in a pool of blood, and the rickshaw driver also ran out dozens of meters away. However, the woman in the rickshaw fell from the rickshaw thrown out by the rickshaw driver and let out a scream like killing a pig.

"There are assassins! Get him! Cai's attendant military attaché finally reacted, and one of them took out the pistol at his waist and chased after the fleeing rickshaw driver. Others flocked to Cai's side.

"General! Checkmate! Looking at Cai Ye, who had fallen into a complete coma, the attendants hurriedly carried him into the Governor's Palace.

This scene was seen by many people, and for a while, the news of General Cai Yi's assassination spread throughout Chengdu at a very fast speed, and in an instant, the entire Chengdu military and political circles were in chaos.

Tang Jiyao received the news, hurriedly stabilized the agitated Southwest First Division, and then quickly rushed back from the barracks, and when he arrived at the Governor's Mansion, the entire Governor's Mansion was still in chaos.

"Whatever is messy, I can do whatever I have to do." Tang Jiyao said loudly. In the Governor's Palace, Tang Jiyao is still very prestigious, and in addition to the fact that he is the deputy governor of the southwest, Cai Ye has an accident, so he is naturally needed to preside over the overall situation. Fortunately, Cai Ye is not usually in charge, and Tang Jiyao does many things for him, so the prestige he usually accumulates at this critical moment has played a role. The chaotic Doge's Mansion slowly settled down.

"Lieutenant Governor, Governor Assassinated. Now it is still in the emergency rescue. Doctors from all over Chengdu hospitals were called. It's been an hour since the general was carried into the house, and none of the doctors came out, and they didn't know if the general was alive or dead! The butler said with a sad face.

"Did the assassin catch it?" Tang Jiyao breathed a sigh of relief, no result, at least it means that General Cai Ye is still alive now. Tang Jiyao couldn't imagine what would happen to General Cai Ye at this time. Knowing that Cai Ye was still alive, Tang Jiyao had the heart to deal with other things.

"Got it. But that man had already committed suicide in fear of sin. The butler said.

"Damn it. Can you tell who it is? Tang Jiyao's expression was extremely gloomy. It seems that this incident is not a personal act, but a big force behind it.

"That person is a fresh face, we looked at all the rickshaw driver records, and there is no such person." The butler whispered.

"Not a drop of water! Which side is it? To use such despicable means. Tang Jiyao couldn't guess which force made the move, after all, the current situation in the southwest is very weird, and it can be said that any force has the possibility of making a move. After all, it is in the interests of all parties to press the chaos first.

"Report to the Deputy Governor, the generals of the New Army jointly sent a telegram to inquire about the situation of the Governor?" The telegraph office staff officer ran in and said.

"Send a telegram to the ministries, the governor is well, let them stabilize the morale of the army, and they must not make a fork at this juncture." Tang Jiyao said loudly. Although he did not know which forces planned this operation, this did not prevent him from making sure that there must be no problems for the army, and now they controlled not many new troops. If something happens to these troops again, I am afraid that the Southwest Governor's Mansion may really be subverted by someone with a heart.

While Tang Jiyao was struggling to keep the Southwest Governor's Mansion running, the news of General Cai's assassination finally spread throughout the country. The eyes of various forces have shifted to the southwest. For a time, the southwest once again became the focus of the whole country.

Feng Yong, the young marshal of the northeast, issued a statement as soon as he received the news, strongly condemning the forces that assassinated General Cai Yi and demanding that the southwest government find out who was behind the scenes and ensure stability in the southwest. At the same time, Feng Shaoshuai urgently recruited doctors from major hospitals in the northeast to form a medical team to act quickly and urgently support the southwest.

At the same time, Li Yuanhong, the president of the Beijing government, also issued a nationwide telegram to severely condemn acts that undermine China's internal stability. At the same time, pray for the health of General Cai Yi.

The Nanjing Beiyang government is not slow to act. President Feng Guozhang, Premier Wang Shizhen, and Army Chief Duan Qirui appeared one after another. The three heroes of Beiyang appeared in front of reporters at the same time, causing internal shocks in Beiyang. Then Feng Guozhang officially stated that the Beiyang government condemned this kind of thing that undermined China's internal unity and supported the southwest to find out who was behind it. This is also a side indication that this matter has nothing to do with Beiyang. At the same time, Beiyang also invited several famous doctors from Shanghai to go up the river to join the medical team that treated General Cai Yi.

For a time, every move in the southwest was on the desks of the heads of various forces in China.

Northeast Marshal's Mansion.

"Damn it. Second Brother Cai was assassinated at this time. Which force did it? Feng Yong said with an extremely gloomy expression.

"It's not clear at the moment, but this matter has been done so seamlessly, and it is the most likely internal force in the southwest." Li Yang said. Regarding this assassin's investigation, Tang Jiyao naturally did not hide the assassination in the northeast, so Feng Yong could get the news from the southwest as soon as possible. But the identity of this assassin is too mysterious. Both Southwest and Darkstab used a lot of strength to find out the origin of this mysterious rickshaw driver, as if this person appeared out of thin air.

"It's too perfect, and sometimes it's a flaw. But such a big action will always have a big purpose. And for this matter, there are two major suspects, one is Tang Jiyao, the deputy governor of the southwest. He is the most willing person to become the governor of the southwest after Cai Yi's accident. If it was before the accident in the southwest, Cai Ye was the most suspicious of assassinating him. But now, on the contrary, he is the most unlikely person. Then if General Cai Ye has an accident, the biggest beneficiaries are those families, and it seems that there is a great possibility that this operation is still in the hands of that gangster. Feng Yong said through gritted teeth. Feng Yong's feelings about these underworld forces are still quite complicated. In the current China. There are three largest gang organizations, Hongmen, Qinggang, and Elders. The Brotherhood is also known as the Brotherhood in the Southwest. It is the instigator of the current unrest in the southwest. In the history of the Chinese revolution, these gangsters have played a lot of positive roles, and many revolutionaries were born from these underworld organizations or used their power to carry out activities. After all, China has had heroes since ancient times. Sun Wen still has the identity of the Hongmen boss. At that time, he also went to the United States as the big brother of Hongmen. But in times of peace, these gangsters are the source of unrest. And the vitality is extremely strong, and it is difficult to completely eliminate it. The power of the Celestial Empire in later generations was so strong that it spared no effort to attack the underworld, but in the end, these forces were still passed on and still had some influence.

"Young marshal, should we do something, we can't let the southwest go on like this." Li Yang suggested.
