Republic of China: My great warlord, many children, many blessings.

However, in the following days, something happened that shocked the political world.

Cai Bingkun, the governor of Guangxi and a key figure in the Nationalist faction, died in his own residence.

Because the address was in the south of the city, Shen Hao arrived at the scene immediately.

Upon hearing this, Cao Yuanzheng also sent a highly skilled criminal investigator to provide support.

"Director Shen, Cai Bingkun's entire body is covered in scratches from fingernails."

The initial assessment is that he scratched himself to death.

Moreover, look at his dilated pupils, it seems he was scared to death, and there are no signs of poisoning on his body.

I suspect this was not the work of an ordinary person.

After saying that, the criminal investigation expert fell silent.

Shen Hao was getting interested when the guy stopped talking, so he handed him ten silver dollars.

The expert detective smiled and whispered:

"Director Shen, I advise you not to get involved in this mess. Just report it directly to Director Cao; he knows what's going on."

After the criminal investigation expert finished speaking, he left.

Shen Hao was taken aback. Was there something more to this than met the eye?

Shen Hao couldn't handle this bizarre case, so he had to report it.

Since Shen Hao was one of their own, Cao Yuanzheng didn't hold back and told Shen Hao some unexpected news.

It was from Cao Yuanzheng's words that Shen Hao learned that Yuan Shikai, in addition to establishing some secret service agencies, had also...

They also recruited some high-level spies who were not affiliated with any intelligence agency and were responsible for handling special classified cases, directly under their command.

It is said that among these people were masters of traditional Chinese martial arts, Taoist priests, and various other extraordinary individuals.

Shen Hao felt incredibly itchy upon hearing this.

Damn, there are so many strange and wonderful people and events.

However, these people were also dangerous, and Shen Hao didn't want to ask any more questions.

The more you know, the faster you die.

In the following days, the entire capital was in chaos. Several councilors died mysteriously, some from poisoning, and others from gruesome deaths.

After these people died, Zhao Bingjun smoothly ascended to the throne of the general.

In the history of Chinese espionage, Zhao Bingjun was the first and only person to rise from a spy to a position second only to the emperor and eventually become the Grand Secretary.

After becoming the head of the headquarters, he personally took charge of the intelligence agency, a situation that is rare in the world.

Moreover, Cao Yuanzheng successfully became the mayor of Beijing, a position he held in high esteem.

That evening, Shen Hao went to Cao Yuanzheng's house under the pretext of reporting on his work and gave him a thousand silver dollars.

"Director Cao, no, it should be Mayor Cao," Shen Hao said deliberately.

"You little rascal, you didn't come here so late just to bring me money, did you?" Cao Yuanzheng said.

"I heard Mayor Cao got promoted, so I came to congratulate him," Shen Hao said with a smile.

"Haha, you're so sensible, Xiao Shen," Cao Yuanzheng said with a smile as he accepted the silver dollar, feeling quite satisfied.

"Someone come here! Have you no sense at all? Serve Director Shen some tea!"

"Yes, Master."

After the tea was served, Shen Hao asked, "Mayor Cao, now that you're leaving, what's the situation regarding the bureau chief position?"

Cao Yuanzheng glanced at Shen Hao and said, "You've got quite the appetite, kid. You're eyeing a position at the General Administration?"

Shen Hao laughed and said, "A soldier who doesn't want to be a general isn't a good soldier. I also want to improve."

"Follow Mayor Cao's lead, or you'll fall too far behind and won't be able to catch up."

Shen Hao is very good at handling things and is generous. Cao Yuanzheng really wants to promote Shen Hao to the position of Director of the General Administration.

It's a pity that he doesn't have this ability.

So he shook his head and said, "I'm afraid you're not qualified for this position. The position of director of the Beijing General Bureau is so sensitive that ordinary people have no right to interfere. These positions are all personally appointed by President Yuan."

It's only for people you trust very much.

Moreover, when I was mayor, the position of director-general had already been decided.

Shen Hao frowned and asked, "Oh, who is it?"

Lu Chengwu

Upon hearing this, Shen Hao frowned. Last time, because of Liu Si, Shen Hao had been tricked.

Lu Chengwu felt that he had been used by Shen Hao.

Shen Hao was also unhappy about Lu Chengwu's betrayal. "Damn it, you got the money and you still betrayed people, you bastard."

There's a rift between them, and this guy will definitely make things difficult for Shen Hao, making his work experience uncomfortable.

I'm afraid of being caught if I just take him down; I'm not strong enough.

Two years later, Yuan Shikai will be dead, and the Beiyang clique will have split up. At that time, it will be difficult to make a living in Beijing.

With this in mind, Shen Hao decided to leave the capital and pursue development in other parts of the country.

Seeing that Shen Hao remained silent, Cao Yuanzheng said, "Actually, you don't need to worry. Now that I'm the mayor, I can promote you to a county magistrate position, and then to deputy mayor in two years. You'll definitely have a carefree life, much more comfortable than that lousy bureau chief. What do you think?"

46. ​​So you're a simp too?

"Mayor Cao, when will Lu Chengwu take office?" Shen Hao asked in confusion.

"Half a month," Cao Yuanzheng said.

That's enough time for it to operate.

As a county magistrate under the jurisdiction of the capital, he sought development.

This place is under the spotlight, watched by all the major factions.

Developing a business is easier said than done; it's better to go somewhere farther away.

When the emperor is far away, you can be your own boss.

By then, I'll have plenty of wives and children; I'll have everything I need.

Seeing that Shen Hao remained silent, Cao Yuanzheng assumed that Shen Hao was unable to accept it.

So he comforted her, saying, "Don't worry, with me and General Manager Zhao here, how bad can your future be?"

"After a while, once President Zhao's position is secure, I'll take you to meet him."

Zhao Bingjun will be finished next year because he killed Song Jiaoren, a bigwig in the Nationalist faction, who was second only to Sun Yat-sen.

One stone stirs up a thousand waves; Zhao Bingjun was also a short-lived man.

Immediately, Shen Hao felt some sympathy for Cao Yuanzheng; if his boss died young, he wouldn't last long either.

Staying away from unlucky people and leaving the capital was definitely the right thing to do.

Shen Hao smiled and said, "Then thank you very much for Mayor Cao's kind offer."

After saying that, he left after saying a few more words.

Since Zhao Bingjun successfully became the head of the party, Foreign Minister Liang Ruhao, Agriculture and Forestry Minister Chen Zhenxian, and Justice Minister Xu Shiying have all expressed their willingness to join the National Party faction.

Liu Kui-yi, the Minister of Industry and Commerce who had previously announced his withdrawal from the Tongmenghui, also expressed his willingness to reinstate his Kuomintang party membership.

Therefore, the Zhao Bingjun cabinet was referred to as the "Kuomintang cabinet".

Yuan Shikai even spread rumors everywhere: "Zhao Bingjun is a member of the Nationalist Party, and the party cabinet advocated by the Nationalist Party has been realized."

It's clearly a case of misattribution; anyone with eyes can see that this is a scam.

Nobody wants to be transferred from the southern branch of the Beijing Municipal Public Security Bureau to a county magistrate position elsewhere.

Being far from the center of power means they're definitely being suppressed.

What future is there in such a remote and impoverished place?

But that's exactly what Shen Hao did.

This time, however, Shen Hao sought help from Jin Yanxi and Bai Xiuzhu, forming a two-pronged approach.

Inside a room on the ninth floor.

In the restaurant that Shen Hao had taken from Liu Si, Jin Yanxi, Bai Xiuzhu, Leng Qingqiu, and Shen Hao sat together.

Bai Xiuzhu remained aloof, while Leng Qingqiu's expression remained calm and undisturbed.

Jin Yanxi, dressed in a white suit, was as enthusiastic as a waiter, constantly pouring water for Leng Qingqiu.

Leng Qingqiu felt no ripples or emotion whatsoever.

Bai Xiuzhu, standing to the side, was even more furious.

Jin Yanxi had never treated her so attentively before.
