Eunuch Liu stood up and looked around for a car. For a moment, there was no car. Yuan Shikai was so anxious that he scolded his bodyguards, "I won't forgive these servants!"

Just as the two were panicking, the two people arrived. Seeing this, Yuan Shikai was overjoyed. He immediately shouted, "Carry the carriage! We're waiting here!" As soon as the car arrived, the two of them raced to get on the car. When they arrived, they had already lost all of their mannerisms.

The two coachmen thought that they were waiting anxiously for him to return, so they apologized as they explained, "Sorry, gentlemen, we were late. There were two policemen who wanted us to send them off for free, but they came back too late. I've made the two gentlemen wait for a long time. "

Yuan Shikai was not in the mood to listen to his explanation. He said impatiently, "Quickly, send us back to Zhongnanhai." Hearing this, the two coachmen assumed that they were dragging a great character. Yu Lu was especially careful as he escorted Yuan Shikai and Liu Gonggong back to Zhongnanhai.

Yuan Shikai got off the car and felt that it was all thanks to the two of them, so he gave a share to Eunuch Liu and said: "Give him ten yuan each!" With that, he turned and entered the residence. The two coachmen took the money and asked Liu Gonggong, only then did they realize that they were dragging President Yuan Shikai. The two of them immediately brought up the silver taels, not mentioning anything about it due to their shock.

Yuan Shikai returned to his bedroom, threw off his coat and hat, and immediately picked up the phone. First he connected to the guard camp, then he connected to the Guardian Office and the garrison outside the city. He ordered, "All of you, go capture all the fat monks in the city and detain them."

After putting down the phone, he said to Eunuch Liu, "They have captured someone. Go and identify them one by one. We must retrieve the treasure that they snatched away."

Eunuch Liu nodded and said, "Yes yes, this old servant knows what to do. Rest in peace! " Yuan Shikai spread his hands and reclined on the reclining chair as if he was dead. Eunuch Liu retreated timidly.

Yuan Shikai gave the order to all the officers and soldiers to move out. Soon, the city was under martial law. Due to the short period of time, the news had yet to spread. The soldiers and police did not know what had happened. They first closed the city gate, forbidding internal and external traffic. Then, they sealed off all the crossroads and began to search everywhere to capture the fat monk.

For a time, outside of the city walls, sirens were blowing loudly in all directions, causing people to feel flustered. Some officers and police officers would even apprehend skinny monks, young monks, female monks, and Taoists. Some soldiers and police officers, regardless of whether they were monks or commoners, would grab him whenever they saw a fat guy with no hair on his head. It frightened the pedestrians so much that they started to run in all directions. Fatty was hiding in all directions, causing the entire city to fall into a state of chaos.

A few of the more daring and mischievous youths thought that the Revolutionary Party had entered the city and was shouting in all directions, "Yuan Shikai is doomed! The army of the Revolutionary Party had come in! "Quick, wrap the dumplings and set off the firecrackers!"

Squads of soldiers and police were searching from door to door. All the shops were frightened to the point of closing their doors, and all the families of the people kept their doors shut.

Those corrupt officials took the opportunity to extort and extort justice, turning it into a robbery. They severely rebuked the shops and people who refused to open the door, saying, "You all hide criminals!" He didn't do anything until he gave him the money.

The police officers who used to smoke opium and live in brothels gathered together and took the opportunity to extort money from everyone, rob them in the open and commit crimes in the open. They specifically looked for the shops that operated expensive items, smashing open their doors, entering and searching everywhere. They took the opportunity to find the store's gold and silver accessories.

Some shopkeepers found out about their theft and robbery and argued with them that they were either beaten or kidnapped and accused of "hiding the culprits".

This caused the people to cry and curse incessantly. A police officer with a nickname, balding, was carrying a bunch of gold and silver jewelry. He took a silver peacock hairpin from the Golden Jade Temple store and was discovered by the female owner, who chased after him and scolded him, "Bald, you will die a horrible death!" You've never been human in your life! "In my next life, I'll turn into a donkey, get beaten up everyday, and ride everyone!" Not to mention.

At this time, Gan Xingyi, Kuang Lu Ping, Zhao Yonggang, and Zhang Tingxiao had found one. Just as the four of them were planning to escape, seeing that the soldiers and police officers had already taken action, the four of them were overjoyed.

Gan Xingyi said: "This is great, with their help, it will be hard for the monks to escape. I didn't expect to catch him before it got dark. " Zhang Tingxiao said happily, "We don't need to make any plans to escape. We can go find the police to fill in the numbers and listen to the sound of the wind." The four of them became lively once more.

They found the police chief, Ma Shaofen, busy on the street, and told him about the stolen items and how they had chased the monks. Ma Shaofen and the policemen were confused by what they heard. Only then did they realize that it was a fat monk who had stolen a package from the President of the Great White House.

Ma Shaofen asked, "What business does the President have at Taibai Restaurant? Why don't you bring more people with you and let us know if you want us to stay quiet? What item did you steal? " The four of them were rendered speechless by the question and felt that it was difficult to answer correctly.

After a long while, Zhang Tingxiao spoke in a secretive manner, "The President has not been feeling well for the past few days. Noon, he was in a good mood and asked Liu Gonggong to accompany him for a walk. When they reached the Taibai House, the president felt thirsty, so Mr. Liu accompanied him inside to drink tea. Unexpectedly, the moment the two of them entered the Supreme White House, a fat monk snatched their things. We don't know what it was stolen from. "

Zhao Yonggang said, "When we came out, I brought that thing for the President. It was a small wooden chest, and inside it was something that weighed several kilograms. It was wrapped in green satin. He didn't know what it was. We didn't ask either. "

A policeman said, "Could it be the presidential seal?" Zhang Tingxiao immediately answered obediently, "It might be so. The President should not have carried it with him when he went out. The President has always attached great importance to the country, and he has to do his business on the spot when he walks. "

Gan Xingyi said, "We chased after the monk after him. Unexpectedly, he hid himself. "Bureau Chief Ma, it's time to go through the door and search."

Ma Shaofen immediately felt a sense of urgency and made a decision, "Pass my order: every team must pay attention to the discovery of important suspects and pay special attention to the appearance of those fat monks. If you want to see one, then go and capture one. "

He then said to Gan Xianyi, "The four of you, lead the rest of us to those important alleys and streets to search them." Everyone immediately dispersed.

Ma Shaofen personally led a team to the heart of Crossroads Street to interrogate the suspect who had been caught.

At this point, many people had already been captured and integrated into a large group. Ma Shaofen sized up these people and saw that there were all kinds of monks and monks, all of them of different heights and sizes, and all of different ages. He picked up the fat monks and the bald men and questioned them one by one, "You, come out. Where are you from? Which temple? What are you doing? " All of them answered calmly.

Some people replied, "Don't look at the fact that I have shaved my head. I am not a monk from the temple. I'm a resident of Anfey Alley. If you don't believe it, go and ask. Everyone there knows me. I'm a pig killer. "

Ma Shaofeng observed him for a while before saying, "Since you're a vulgar person, why are you shaving your head? What are you pretending to be a monk for? Take him away!" The man cried out his injustice and was dragged away.

Another monk was pointed out for questioning, and the monk said: "Sir, although I am fat, I am definitely a monk and never seek flowers or willow. Because I often eat pork and eat a lot of it, I am fat. I did not commit a crime. "

When Ma Shaofen heard this, he shouted in anger, "You are a monk that doesn't abide by the rules! Take him away!" The monk refused to accept this and was dragged away.

There was also a fat monk, Ma Shaofen asked, "Where did you come from and what did you do? From the facts! "It's hard to say, it's hard to avoid physical suffering."

The monk was scared and said anxiously: "I came from Wang San Gui's house, he did not go to Tianjin to mourn for his dead brother, it was his wife, Xiao Feng Liu, who took me there. What I did to her, it's — it's hard to say. " Ma Shaofen scolded again, "I think you are not a good person. Take him away! " The monk panicked and was taken away.

Ma Shaofen was in the middle of a cross-examination when three policemen reported, "Chief, we have found an important suspect. A fat monk was running around hiding like a rat. He was already decided by our brothers, this monk should be the one to snatch things from us. "

Hearing this, Ma Shaofen was very happy. He immediately stopped the interrogation and said to the people beside him, "You guys stay here. I'll bring some people to take care of these people." Seeing that there were not many people around him, he shouted, "All the other policemen, follow me!" Soon, dozens of police officers were gathered.

Ma Shaofen, in order to stir up the crowd, shouted, "Brothers, you will all run with me. If we catch the monk, I will definitely reward you. I will not break my promise this time. " The police officers were full of cheers. The one who had reported this was leading the way, and all of them ran towards their target.

They were still far away when Ma Shaofen heard the police shouting as they chased after the monk. He then heard: "Monk, stop! You can't escape! "You've been surrounded, quickly ambush and bind!" Thief Monk, quickly surrender! If you keep running, we'll shoot you! " The shouts came in quick succession, and Ma Shaofeng became even happier. He then took a shortcut and ran over.

At this moment, the monk heard shouts from all directions and knew that he had been surrounded. He had no choice but to rush around in search of a way out. Everywhere he went, he was intercepted by policemen with guns. He was forced to find a place with fewer people to charge at. After he broke through the first layer of encirclement, he immediately entered the second layer. At the same time, the guard battalion received the news. The battalion commander, Guo Chengliang, was leading his soldiers and galloping forward to surround them.

Ma Shaofeng ordered, "Call for the monks, surrender or shoot. "Don't let him fall into the hands of the guards." Soon, he was surrounded again and shouted, "Quickly surrender, Monk! If we don't surrender now, we will definitely fire! "

The monk saw that he was trapped in the middle and was at the end of his rope. He had just broken out of the siege when he came face to face with Ma Shaofen leading a squad of policemen. The monk was so tired that he could not run fast anymore. He hurriedly entered the western alley of Prince Gong's Mansion. Ma Shaofen and his men followed closely behind. Seeing that he was running too slowly, Ma Shaofen was so happy that he turned around and shouted to the policemen, "Monk can't run anymore, brothers, quickly chase him!" Reward will be given to those who get caught in it! " All the policemen were eager to catch up. Soon, they reached the end of the alley.

With a turn, the monk's figure suddenly disappeared. Ma Shaofen and his men looked around the corner. A police officer with good eyes exclaimed, "Bureau Chief, look at that! Shoes!" The crowd looked in the direction he was pointing and saw a half-new embroidered shoe lying at the foot of the palace wall.

A policeman quickly picked it up and handed it to Ma Shaofen. Ma Shaofeng looked at the shoes over and over again. He hastily reached out to touch the inside of the shoes and felt the moist and warm sensation. As if he had been blessed with a treasure, he cried out in delight: "The monk can't get away, this shoe must have been dropped by him jumping off a wall in a hurry. He escaped into the prince's mansion. " He took the shoe and shouted, "Brothers, it's time for you to receive the prize! Hurry and increase the distance between us and the palace, don't let the thief monk escape. "
