A lot of times, silence is a good choice. The emotions contained in the silence are some of rebellion, some of which are silent pleas. Wu Xingchen was silent now. The previous discussion completely dispelled Wu Xingchen's illusions, and he knew that Chen Ke would not help Pang Zi.

When people weaken their momentum, they often have a psychological weakness. At the beginning of the party meeting, Wu Xingchen felt that Chen Ke's way of treating Pang Zi was inappropriate, and he always felt that Chen Ke should pay more. Now he couldn't help but think of Pang Zi's consistent disrespectful attitude towards Chen Ke. On the rivers and lakes, even this very impolite attitude is likely to cause a very serious conflict, not to mention that Chen Ke's words and deeds are really out of concern for Pang Zi.

"Brother Wu, do you still think you are a member of the People's Party?" Chen Ke broke the silence. Hearing this, Chen Tianhua felt a tightness in his heart, Chen Ke was sympathetic, and he knew this. Chen Ke does not have the kindness of a woman, and Chen Tianhua is also clear about this. The reason for asking this is that eighty percent is to be unkind to Wu Xingchen. Wu Xingchen has been biased towards Pang Zi, Chen Tianhua knows this, and he is not satisfied. But looking at Chen Ke's meaning, it smells of expelling Wu Xingchen from the party. Chen Tianhua instinctively wanted to object, but he couldn't say it. In the organizational program of the People's Party, there is such a clause -- members of the Chinese People's Party must completely sever all ties with parties and groups that attempt to oppose their program. Pang Zi is not an enemy, and he can't talk about friends in terms of what Pang Zi has done. If Chen Ke wants to deal with it in accordance with organizational discipline, Chen Tianhua cannot refute it.

Hearing this, Wu Xingchen's face became even more solemn, his gaze became solemn, and he even bit his lip rarely. After making up his mind, he said, "Wen Qing, if you are talking about Brother Pang......

Chen Ke interrupted Wu Xingchen's words, and he said calmly: "It has nothing to do with Brother Pang. I just want to ask, does Brother Wu still insist that he is a member of the People's Party? ”

After hesitating for a moment, Wu Xingchen replied, "Yes, I still insist that I am a member of the People's Party. But ......"

"Wait until I'm done?" Chen Ke cut off Wu Xingchen's words again. For some reason, Chen Tianhua suddenly felt that there was some relaxation in Chen Ke's voice. Chen Ke picked up the scissors and cut the candle flowers, and the candle burned brighter.

"As the chairman of this party meeting, I would like to ask you, Brother Wu, to carry out revolutionary struggle work in the north. It's good to be with the Pang brothers, or with those brothers in Shandong. I want you to participate in their revolution, well, I should say the work of the uprising. I don't know what Brother Wu wants? ”

Hearing this, Wu Xingchen was taken aback. He did not want to quit the People's Party, so he was very keen to offer to stay in Hebei and participate in the uprising with Pang Zi. Unexpectedly, Chen Ke actually brought it up first. Taking advantage of this bright candlelight, Wu Xingchen carefully looked at Chen Ke's face, and Chen Ke showed an encouraging smile that understood Wu Xingchen's difficulties very well, without any dissatisfaction, let alone temptation.

"How about it, does Brother Wu agree?" Seeing that Wu Xingchen didn't speak, Chen Ke asked again.

"I agree." Wu Xingchen hurriedly replied.

Seeing that Chen Ke did not want to send Wu Xingchen down, but put forward such a reasonable suggestion, Chen Tianhua was also very happy. After all, it's a comrade, so why make a fuss to the point of expelling people? After thinking about it, Chen Tianhua felt a little embarrassed. Chen Ke's desire to expel Wu Xingchen was Chen Tianhua's own guess. My own guess is that my strength is not as good as Chen Ke's. was secretly criticizing himself, Chen Tianhua suddenly heard Chen Ke say: "Xingtai, I want you to stay in the north with Brother Wu. Responsible for the preparation of the uprising. ”

"Huh? I'm going to stay too? Chen Tianhua asked in surprise. Chen Tianhua's surprise at this decision was five points, and the other five points were delighted.

"Let Brother Wu stay here alone, there is revolutionary enthusiasm, but the revolutionary theory is obviously insufficient. Originally, I was supposed to stay in the north, but after a few months of walking away from Shanghai, I was not very relieved. So I can only let Xingtai stay in the north. ”

"That's very good." Chen Tianhua replied excitedly.

Seeing Chen Tianhua's face full of joy, Chen Ke felt that he couldn't be too happy, "Don't worry, I didn't let you let you let the ducks go if I asked you to stay in the north." I'll have to discuss what I'm going to do here. ”

"Wen Qing asked us to stay here, what are you going to do for us?" Wu Xingchen is not as optimistic as Chen Tianhua. He didn't think Chen Ke would give in to Pang Zi so easily. And Chen Ke's words have made it clear that Wu Xingchen is not a close friend of Pang Zi, but a member of the People's Party who stayed here. In other words, if Wu Xingchen insists on the position of his own People's Party member, Pang Zi's position is not the primary consideration.

"Brother Wu, no matter what, I don't want Brother Pang Zi to die in vain, I said so much earlier, I want to explain to Brother Pang Zi that according to the previous rebellion model, it will definitely not work. Brother Pang has a prejudice against me, thinking that I am not on the same path as him. Speaking of this, Chen Ke suddenly laughed again, "This is what I said wrongly. Brother Pang has no prejudice against me, and I am indeed not on the same path as him. But what I want to ask is whether Brother Wu wants to follow the same path as Brother Pang, or whether he wants to follow the path of revolutionary success. In this regard, there is no need for us as party members to talk nonsense. ”

Hearing such an honest question, Wu Xingchen tightened his mouth. Emotionally, he wanted to support Pang Zi. But rationally, he has already been persuaded by Chen Ke. Finally, Wu Xingchen let out a long sigh, "That's it, some things can't be done just with brotherly love. I want to take the path of revolution. ”

"Very good, then let's discuss how to let the Pang brothers and the brothers in Shandong be able to save their lives after the rebellion. Where there is life, there is hope. This method should be the most practical for them. ”

"What's the solution?" Chen Tianhua is very interested in this.

"They have to go from being a bandit who is very easy to exterminate to being a rogue, which is not easy to exterminate."

"Haha!" Listening to Chen Ke's "wonderful strategy", Chen Tianhua couldn't help laughing. What's the difference between that and not saying it? If you can't beat it, you will naturally run, how can you sit and wait for the officials and soldiers to exterminate it?

Wu Xingchen's reaction was completely different from Chen Tianhua's, his eyes lit up, "I have to ask Wen Qing to talk about this." "Wu Xingchen was once beaten badly by the Beiyang Army in Shandong. When running for his life, he really feels like the world is so big that there is nowhere to hide.

"The so-called Shengmi Endou Mi Hatred. It is absolutely impossible to buy people's hearts by scattering money. The people don't eat it. "Chen Ke didn't talk about any revolutionary reasoning this time.

Seeing Wu Xingchen nodding slightly, Chen Tianhua was quite puzzled. "How can you not be grateful if you can make everyone's life better?"

"Better? How good is better? It is better to eat more bowls of rice, and it is also better to have a lot of wealth. You are absolutely wrong. Chen Ke's voice was cold, "If you are a contented person, people don't lack your things at all." If you are not satisfied, you will not be enough. Therefore, relying on scattered wealth is just to make those who have the ability look down on you and envy you if they are not. And with Brother Pang's current methods, this money is not the right way. If he does anything to buy people's hearts, it is really Zhu Bajie looking in the mirror, not a person inside and out. ”

Although Chen Tianhua still didn't quite understand, seeing that Chen Ke said firmly, Wu Xingchen also fully agreed, so he simply stopped interjecting.

"So, how Brother Pang is making trouble now, everyone should pay attention. It is necessary for Brother Pang to be able to save the first aid. Point out the line of struggle to everyone, instead of using money and food to fight things. Chen Ke continued. Wu Xingchen's mood this time was very different from before. greatly agreed with Chen Ke's various heart-wrenching theories, Chen Ke talked about some very ruthless methods, and Wu Xingchen even applauded the case. Chen Tianhua quickly made a note, whether he could accept Chen Ke's statement or not, but these were very important materials. You can't just finish talking.

As the night wore on, the meetings of the party group had become very harmonious. However, everyone had just gone out of the door, and by two o'clock, Wu Xingchen and Chen Tianhua couldn't stand it anymore. Chen Ke simply let them sleep and continue writing on his own.

As the sky began to get clearer, Chen Ke put down his pen. Although he didn't feel tired yet, he bothered to write about these things that he didn't know about. Writing is not too tiring, and racking your brains to come up with a suitable specific way to fight is really unbearable. In the past few days, Chen Ke has been running around outside, and he has not taken a bath, and he already has a smell on his body. He simply stripped off his stripes, took a basin and soap, and went outside to bathe by the well.

It wasn't sunrise yet, and it was a little cloudy. In the pale sky, there were still a few stars scattered, and the entire courtyard was still dark, shrouded in a cold shimmer everywhere. Chen Ke poured a basin on his body, and compared to the cold air, the well water was warm. The comfortable feeling of the water sliding through his skin made Chen Ke couldn't help but snort. The autumn breeze quickly took away the temperature from the skin, and soon made the bather feel a biting chill. Chen Ke took another basin of water, then wiped his face and raised his head. A bird flew east from high in the air, perhaps noticing Chen Ke, and suddenly quacked. Seeing the figure of this crow gradually merge into the bronze sky in the east, Chen Ke suddenly remembered that the crow seemed to mean a bad omen. Of course, Chen Ke didn't believe in this nonsense at all. Rinse down a few more basins of water, then soap, and rinse again. The shower of well water reactivates the already numb mind.

Among those heroes, Chai Qingguo has always been very polite to Chen Ke. And looking at his usual performance, he seems to agree with Chen Ke's proposition. But after all, with other brothers, it is impossible for Chai Qingguo to directly express his approval of Chen Ke. It seems that I have to find an opportunity to talk to Chai Qingguo alone. Or, when Wu Xingchen and the others go to the countryside, let Chai Qingguo stay alone to help. Chen Ke thought as he dried himself and returned to the house. It was really a long time to live in Lanfang's room without smelling its fragrance, and as soon as he entered the door, Chen Ke felt that the smell in this room was quite big. I was able to stay here all night. He didn't close the door anymore, but just found clean clothes to change into, threw the dirty clothes in the basin, squatted in the yard and began to wash the clothes.

There were quite a lot of dirty clothes, and Chen Ke washed the clothes alone on this silent morning. Suddenly, a strange thought popped up in my mind, and I didn't know if the Miss He I saw last time was washing her own clothes. As soon as this thought appeared, Chen Ke felt very strange, the two just met in Pingshui, and they only saw each other, why did they suddenly think of this young lady?

Thinking about it carefully, Chen Ke couldn't even remember the specific appearance of that young lady. The only thing I can remember is those beautiful eyes that are bright and determined. It was a familiar gaze from Chen, and in the 21st century, only women who were determined enough had that fearless gaze.

Chen Ke likes this kind of women, they are all just doing things to accomplish their own purposes. In the process of things, they just do their best to follow the rules, and do not pursue any final result. That's why the eyes are so bright and focused. Like He Ruming's "adult", just to get the result, he doesn't care what the process in the middle is. If possible, He Ruming's "adult" would most like this to be the way things go by. Others shout "Daddy He" and "Grandpa He", you must appreciate your face, please let us serve you. In the face of He Ruming's modest "repeated resignations", others unswervingly wanted He Ruming to do things. In the end, He Ruming was helpless, in order to give others face, so he reluctantly accepted the service of others. In the end, He Ruming didn't need the strength of a finger, and in the end, he gained fame and fortune.

"I'm also a little too mean." Chen Ke thought to himself. But when He Ruming talked to himself about those details, his eyes kept changing. However, in those core contents, He Ruming's reaction was quite slow. It is a perfect contrast with He Qian's shrewdness and ability. Are these two really brother and sister?

It would be nice if it was in the 21st century, Chen Ke couldn't help but think. In that case, he could ask He Qian out and talk about this matter in private. I don't know if this has been done long ago. And you can make friends or something. Chen Ke likes smart and capable women very much, and with them, there is no nonsense, and everyone has a very relaxed feeling. And when chatting, these women often have witty remarks, and chatting is also a pleasure.

But this is an absolute luxury, just like in the 21st century, Chen Ke only needs to throw his clothes in the washing machine and not bother. Now he has to wash it by hand in order to maintain hygiene.

The clothes were washed, and the sky was bright. No one got out of bed, and it seemed that everyone was tired from the long run. Chen Ke felt a little sleepy, but he didn't dare to go back to bed. Everyone probably won't wake him up, what if he oversleeps. He simply fell asleep on the table in the hall.

"Mr. Chen, wake up." Someone shouted beside him. Chen Ke slowly raised his head, but saw Pang Zi standing beside him. Looking at his watch, Chen Ke slept for about two hours.

"What's wrong?"

"It's time for breakfast." Pang Zi said.

When I looked outside, I saw that the soup pot on the honeycomb coal stove was steaming, and Wu Xingchen and they were busy working around the pot.

"Okay." After such a while, Chen Ke felt that his spirit was completely restored, and he stood up and replied, "Eat." ”

According to yesterday's agreement, after eating, Wu Xingchen talked to Pang Zi and them, and Chen Ke did not participate. If Chen Ke participated, it would only make Pang Zi feel uncomfortable. So Chen Ke took this time to visit He Ruming.

Steward He was very enthusiastic about Chen Ke's visit, and he told Chen Ke that He Ruming was not at home. Chen Ke almost blurted out that He Qian was not there. Anyway, he held back. If you really dare to ask that, it is estimated that Steward He can beat Chen Ke out of the door. Sadly returned to his lodgings. I heard Wu Xingchen talking to everyone in the wing. Chen Ke didn't stop and went straight back to the main house. I had just sat for a moment when I heard a knock on the door. The door was not closed tightly, and the person outside the door gently pushed it open, and then shouted at the crack in the door, "Is Mr. Wen Qing here?" But it was Xie Mingxian's voice.

"I'm here, Mingxian, come in quickly." Chen Ke happily responded.

Xie Mingxian carried a square package, thinking that it was medicine. To Chen Ke's great surprise, there was another person standing outside the door with him, who was actually Wang Bin. Chen Ke was slightly stunned, and had already reacted, "Brother Wang, welcome." You hurry in, it's going to be hard work all the way. As he spoke, he took the package in Xie Mingxian's hand with one hand, picked up the suitcase next to Wang Bin, and led the two into the main house.

Wang Bin is really a rare guest. Since You Wei introduced Wang Bin and Zhou Yuanxiao to Chen Ke together, the two began to cooperate. As a middle and senior manager of a German foreign firm, Wang Bin actually helped Chen Ke get a lot of things. But the two have no personal relationship. He came from Shanghai with Xie Mingxian, but he didn't know why.

"It's interesting to look at." Wang Bin asked, holding a teacup in both hands. Shanghai is much warmer than Beijing, and he and Xie Mingxian came by boat, and they are really not used to this temperature difference. When Chen Ke was boiling water, he put honeycomb coal in the stove, which attracted his attention.

"I'm going to do a big deal about this thing in Beijing." Chen Ke didn't hide it from him. Anyway, the price of anthracite in the south is high, and Chen Ke is not worried about Wang Bin getting it up in the south, "Brother Wang, do you want to stay in Beijing and make honeycomb coal with me?" Chen Ke said teasingly.

"I'm not here for this. I had a German friend in Beijing, and I came to meet him. Wang Bin replied.

"It should be like this, it should be like this." Chen Ke said with a smile. Chen Ke has no special feelings about Wang Bin's approach. He likes to travel, and when he wants to go out on a whim in the morning, he immediately contacts friends in that place, buys a ticket at noon, and takes the car in the evening. This kind of thing doesn't happen just once or twice. In the past, there were brothers from other places who called at nine o'clock in the evening and said that three were missing one. Then Chen Ke immediately went out to the train station to buy a train ticket for the nearest train, and arrived at the card table more than 100 kilometers away at half past eleven, and then played cards all night. Wang Bin's approach, Chen Ke is very much in favor of it. German friends came from afar, rushed from Shanghai to Beijing to meet, and it was nothing at all.

However, Xie Mingxian next to him looked at Chen Ke with a strange look. Although Xie Mingxian had heard of "traveling thousands of miles" when he was studying. But that's just to say that he felt that the road was far away when he traveled from Hunan to Shanghai alone. Qi Huishen sent him from Shanghai to Beijing. Young people's temperament is naturally to like to go far away. But really experienced such a long journey at sea. actually arrived at the capital at the feet of the Son of Heaven. Xie Mingxian felt a little unreal. Seeing Chen Ke's disapproving statement made Xie Mingxian feel very uncomfortable.

Chen Ke noticed this, and he patted Xie Mingxian on the shoulder. "Mingxian, you also have courage, from Shanghai to Beijing, there are thousands of miles on the way. How do you feel now? ”

Hearing Chen Ke say this, Xie Mingxian smiled, "It's really far." After saying that, he added, "It's quite cold here." ”

"Haha." Chen Ke and Wang Bin both laughed after hearing this.

"By the way, Brother Wang, where are you going to live in Beijing? If you don't mind, just stay with me for a few days. Chen Ke said.

Wang Bin did not shirk, "That's exactly what I mean." ”

Looking at Wang Bin's swollen eyes, Chen Ke said with concern: "The journey is tiring. Brother Wang went to sleep first. ”

When Wang Bin fell asleep, Xie Mingxian saw that there was no one left and right, so he took out a letter and handed it to Chen Ke. "Mr. Wenqing, this is Mr. Qi's letter to you."

Chen Ke was not in a hurry to open it, "Mingxian, you also go to sleep for a while." If there is anything, I will talk about it when I get up at noon. In the afternoon you and I go out to a good place. ”

"Where to go?" Xie Mingxian felt that Chen Kezhi's Shinto words were not quite right, and he asked.

"Kyoshi University Hall." After Chen Ke finished speaking, he saw that Xie Mingxian's eyes immediately widened, and they became bigger and bigger, and finally they almost became round.

"That's right, it's the Jingshi University Hall." Chen Ke added.

Xie Mingxian's arm was a little stiff, and he saw that Chen Ke didn't mean to deceive himself, so he stood up, "Mr. Wenqing, I'll go to sleep now." After speaking, Xie Mingxian almost trembled towards the bedroom. Chen Ke could understand how excited this showman was to hear this name.

With less than one-tenth of Xie Mingxian's excitement, Chen Ke checked the integrity of the envelope, and then opened the envelope and pulled out a thick stack of papers.
