Although he was the top scholar at that time and his career was very successful, the thought of "there are three unfilial things, and there is no future" deeply influenced him. Until he was 46 years old, his third concubine Wu Daojun gave birth to his only son Zhang Xiaoruo.
Old son Zhang Jian was naturally overjoyed and immediately attached a poem:
At the same time, Zhang Jian is particularly concerned about the education of the only child in this family. When Zhang Xiaoruo was 6 years old, he studied under Masako Morita of Japan. At the age of eight, Zhang Jingyun, a famous scholar at that time, taught Chinese studies. However, Zhang Xiaoruo is playful and his homework is often not finished in time. But he is very talented and can write good articles at the age of 13.
Zhang Jian once admitted: "I am a son, and if it is broken, there will be no future." I'm old, so I have to make long-term plans. "The old father's love for his son is obvious!
After that, Zhang Xiaoruo, 19 years old, studied at Columbia University (but according to Who's Who in China? Mr. Zhang Xiaoruo's "192 1" was published in industry magazines, and it was actually "Yan 'an University of Commerce". Zhang only stayed for more than a year and got the so-called "Bachelor of Commerce"). 2 1 year-old Zhang Xiaoruo came back from school and worked in Huaihai Industrial Bank founded by his father.
For a time, Zhang Xiaoruo became one of the "Four Childes of the Republic of China" (the other three were Yuan Shikai's second son and Lu, the son of a warlord).
But Zhang Xiaoruo, who is in the business world, is dedicated to serving the country politically. He once said, "In China society, you can't do things without officials; He can help you or destroy you; When ordinary people do things, they can get help from the government, and naturally get twice the result with half the effort. "
Later, Liang Qichao and others put forward the reform plan of "joint provincial autonomy", and Zhang Jian and his son fully supported it. Liang Qichao read the Report of Nantong Autonomy Association written directly by Zhang Xiaoruo and said directly to Zhang Jian: "It's quite emotional to have a child like Sun Zhongmou."
However, politics is far more complicated than Zhang Xiaoruo imagined. At that time, after the proposal of "joint provincial autonomy" was put forward, the Jiangsu Provincial Assembly directly advocated that "the Soviet people ruled the Soviet Union", and there were "Northern Zhang School" and "Southern Zhang School" within the parliament. At that time, the "Northern Zhang School" was represented by Zhang Jian with strong financial resources. During the parliamentary election, the "Southern Zhang School" which had been a shoo-in was suddenly overtaken by the "Northern Zhang School". The "Nanzhang School" denied it and directly said that the "Northern School" bribed the election. The two sides not only quarreled and fought, but even Ye Limin, a native of Huai 'an, committed suicide by taking drugs and started "corpse remonstration". "Shen Bao" directly published suicide notes and portraits, so that Zhang Xiaoruo directly forgot the position of the deputy speaker. Under pressure, Zhang Xiaoruo withdrew from the election.
In this election, Zhang Xiaoruo later said: "Although I have been close to the regime for several years, I have never had any improper combination or hidden things. The boundaries of money are unambiguous, innocent and conceited, and I try to protect my personality. "
In order to appease Zhang Xiaoruo and let him take shelter from the wind, the Beiyang government gave him a position as an industrial inspector, so at the age of 25, he began a seven-month and three-day inspection abroad. Traveling to ten countries has greatly increased the experience of governing the country.
After returning home, Zhang Xiaoruo put forward ten general plans to revitalize China's economy to Beiyang government, which awarded Zhang Xiaoruo a second-class cultural medal, but at this time Zhang Xiaoruo had completely given up any expectation of politics!
At this time, he had a lot of contacts with writers of the Republic of China. At the same time, after Zhang Jian died, he finished Zhang Jian's manuscript and published it. At the same time, he made up all the losses left by Zhang Jian before his death.
However, the dutiful son of such a scholar was shot dead at home by his servant Wu on1935+June 65438+1October 17. At that time, Zhang Xiaoruo and his third aunt Li Fuchu were taking a nap at home. Suddenly, Wu broke into the house and fired several shots at Zhang Xiaoruo and Li Fulian, causing Zhang Xiaoruo and Li Fuchu to die on the spot. Zhang Xiaoruo was only 38 years old when he died.
The murderer Wu committed suicide immediately without confession and clues, and this murder case that shocked the beach of the Republic of China became an unsolved case. They all say that people get all the stolen goods, but why has it become an unsolved case? There are several big doubts:
First of all, Wu is an old servant of the Zhang family. He worked in the Zhang family when Zhang Jian was alive. At the same time, Zhang Xiaore still remembers the old love and gives Wu 30 yuan living expenses every month. But it is such an old man who is over 60 years old that it is unreasonable to treat his old master like this.
Second, after the murder, the Shanghai police quickly arrived at the crime scene. However, at this time, Zhang Xiaoruo's wife, Chen Shiyun, actually said to the police: "Things have happened, and the murderer is dead. Don't bother anymore." There is a saying that "the people don't sue, the officials don't investigate", and the patrol is gone, but all kinds of gossip are flying all over the sky. No wonder the husband died, but the wife was indifferent and refused to investigate. Is this really suspicious?
Third, the biggest doubt is that after Zhang Xiaore was killed, the Dada Shipping Company he was in charge of actually became the property of Du, the leader of the Green Gang, and the Wu family was always managed by Du. Such shady mergers and acquisitions have to make people wonder whether Du is the hired murderer.
According to the analysis of existing historical data, there are two kinds of opinions about the reasons why Zhang Xiaoruo was killed:
First, Zhang Xiaoruo opened a bank in Shanghai at that time, and there was a vacant position. Wu wanted to win the job for his son, but Zhang Xiaoruo agreed, but his third aunt wanted Zhang Xiaoruo to give the fat job to his nephew. Zhang Xiaoruo couldn't stand the pillow breeze and handed over the work to a nephew of an aunt. Finally, Wu bears a grudge against them and kills them.
Second, if Zhang Xiao is a romantic, he has a wife and two concubines. The second concubine thought that after the death of the original match, she was superior. But another third aunt and second aunt got jealous and killed them.
But on the whole, I personally prefer the third one: Zhang Xiaoruo was killed by Du.
In Patrol, Chen Shiyun's indifference is well explained-polygamy is always favored more or less. The neglected party, seeing the beloved party die, naturally won't have the slightest pity. The indifference to her husband's murder is only an intuitive manifestation of the loss of feelings between husband and wife.
The dispute between banks is not groundless, and Wu, the old servant, really made bad friends with Sanyi because of this matter. However, Zhang Xiaoruo is good to Wu after all. Why did Wu shoot with his master? There is only one reason that can be explained-Du wants to kill three birds with one stone by Wu Zhi's hand.
Afterwards, Du treated the Wu family so well, indicating that the conditions had been agreed before shooting. Once Zhang Xiaore dies, the shipyard behind it can naturally become Du's income.
But in any case, this murder case is still just an unsolved case, and all the conclusions are just doubts. Everyone who experienced it in those years is dead. Exploring the meaning of history is not only to know one thing, but also to learn from history!
