The discussion of the staff officers only familiarized them with the political and military influence of geography, and in a short period of time, Yang Rui did not think that they could come up with any foolproof strategy, for China, there are only a few directions for expansion, and it would be good to be able to stick their hands on the Caspian Sea and border Iran.

While everyone was discussing, Liu Boyuan, who had just become the director of the Security Bureau, ran over, and as soon as he opened his mouth, Yang Rui was surprised and laughed, that is, he actually became the defendant.

Last month, the Security Service, expanded by Special Branch, completely separated itself from the Military Intelligence Service, one inside and one outside. Yang Rui, who was well aware of the importance of internal affairs, transferred Liu Boyuan to the Security Bureau, the Intelligence Bureau was handed over to the General Staff, and Mu Xiangyao from the Special Branch was transferred to the Civil Affairs Department and was specifically responsible for patrolling the police.

"Sir, it is said that the family of a member who committed suicide during the purge handed a letter to Dali Temple, wanting to sue us for taking our lives." Liu Boyuan said worriedly. "Now the people in Dali Temple have taken the case and are ready to hold a trial on a later date. He also said that he was going to be summoned...... Mr. Subpoena. ”

"Hehe......" Yang Rui just laughed dryly, he had all the flavors in his heart, and after he laughed, he said, "Okay, good, good." It's not a big deal when they're going to summon me and when I'm going. ”

Seeing that Yang Rui actually said this, Liu Boyuan was anxious, "Sir, this is not an ordinary case, the woman will designate the defendant as you, someone must have deliberately pointed it out." It's going to be a general election, and they're throwing dirt on us on purpose, sir, you can't compromise with them! ”

"How did I compromise?!" Yang Ruiqi asked, "It's not as good as the base now." Eighty percent of the country's newspapers are in the concessions, and the foreign legations are looking at us who are in power, and if we want to be in power, we must act according to law. Do you want to take the troops to Dali Temple to snatch people back? If that's the case, you're pouring dirty water on yourself. ”

"But ......" Yang Rui said everything is reasonable. But Liu Boyuan didn't have a feeling in his heart, Mr. became the defendant, then the Revival Association was the defendant, he was originally a revolutionary hero, but now he is a defendant, which no one can accept.

"Don't. Go find Qiu Jin and ask her to go see the plaintiff on our behalf. Yang Rui said. The only trick he can use now is to respond to the lawsuit and settle out of court, since the plaintiff is from Zhejiang, let the Zhejiang people persuade him.

Liu Boyuan walked away in a huff. When he hadn't found Qiu Jin yet, Zhang Chengyue came first. At that time, he was the political commissar of the Yanzhou base area, and he gave all the orders related to the purge and the purge, and now he has heard that someone has complained. He came running without hesitation.

"What are you doing here? Isn't there anything wrong with the Ministry of Civil Affairs? Yang Rui looked at him anxiously. The Word of Blame.

"Sir...... I ...... "Zhang Chengyue is such a calm person, and now he is also incoherent."

"What are you!" Yang Rui smiled, "This matter has nothing to do with you, you are just carrying out my orders." I'm responsible for the consequences. ”

"Sir......" Zhang Chengyue seemed to be shocked by this sentence, his eyes suddenly turned red, and when he gave the order to purge, he had a worry in his heart, that is, when he liquidated this matter in the future, he would probably be thrown out to atone for his crimes. Now that Yang Rui has taken all the responsibilities, he can't help but be extremely excited. "Sir. I presided over the purge in Yanzhou, and I should be the defendant. ”

"What's you, what I'm doing, it's all Revival." Yang Rui held his shoulder, "Any mistakes of yours are my Yang Rui's mistakes, just as any of your merits are my Yang Rui's merits." The revival will be one, and no credit will be mine, but the blame will be yours. If that's the case, then who will dare to do things in the future? ”

"Sir......" Zhang Chengyue was a little silent, at this time, Liu Boyuan had already brought Qiu Jin here. It turned out to be ......" Qiu Jin shouted from afar, she saw that Zhang Chengyue was here, so she had to mention it like this, for fear of delaying Yang Rui and Zhang Chengyue's conversation, Liu Boyuan had already told her what had happened on the way to her.

Yang Rui sent Zhang Chengyue, who was dripping with tears, away, and then beckoned her to sit down and said, "You know everything, right?" ”

Qiu Jin shook his head and said, "I only know what happened now, I don't know what happened before?" ”

"Before, ......" Yang Rui looked at her and nodded, "After the failure of Hangzhou, the purge was carried out in the meeting, and you happened to be in prison at that time, so you didn't know about it, and then you went overseas again, so you didn't know about it." ”

"Since it happened during the revolutionary period, what reason does Dali Temple have to take this case?" Qiu Jin's eyebrows seemed to stand up, women's rights were advocated by her, but as a member of the Revival, she would never tolerate anything to slander the Renaissance Society.

"Don't get excited!" Yang Rui looked at her and hurriedly persuaded, "During the purge period, many perverse things happened, although there are extenuating circumstances, but after all, there is a mistake, although the names of those comrades who died because of this have been corrected, but this family is not willing to sue, so let's sue." I came to see them on behalf of the Revival. ”

"Actually, this thing can't be so simple!" Qiu Jin's eyebrows lowered slightly, she was still worried that those opposition parties would use this as an excuse to attack the Renaissance Society.

"Of course it's not that simple!" Yang Rui was sure, "But if they think that they can defeat us in this way, then they are very wrong." If we're afraid, that's a failure, and I'm going to see what they can do with me! ”

Hearing that Yang Rui had set the tone for this matter in Prince Zheng's mansion, the judges in the Dali Temple on Guanya Street finally relieved themselves, and more than a dozen people who asked for leave to go home saw that the Dali Temple was not surrounded, and they also came to work one after another from the next day. And the newspapers are publishing the news. Newspapers in Beijing, such as the Beijing Daily, only briefly mentioned Han Yuxiu's matter, and did not comment too much; The newspapers in the Tianjin Concession or with a foreign background reported on the matter in a large and large way, denouncing the Fuxing Society for disregarding human life and forcibly seizing people's property, and the most passionate people such as Ta Kung Pao and Shuntian Times have shouted for Yang Rui's resignation to thank the world.

"Sir, someone must have deliberately manipulated this matter, otherwise it would not have produced such a big response in a short period of time, and the one who contributed the most was the greatest. It is Song Jiaoren's Kuomintang and Liang Qichao's Democratic Party, Song Jiaoren's side is mainly for winning the election, and Liang Qichao's side. is mainly for the abolition of holes, and those old and young want to get you out of power in this way. Wang Xiaolin, who is in charge of public opinion control, reported to Yang Rui on the current public opinion, and now several influential opposition newspapers either involve foreigners or are in the concession, so he can't control it, which is really annoying.

"What do you think?" Wang Xiaolin finished reporting. Yang Rui turned his head and asked a member of the Standing Committee. The third congress elected seven members of the Standing Committee, namely Yang Rui, Xu Huafeng, Cai Yuanpei, Xie Zhangtai, Yu Huizu, Du Yaquan, and Qiu Jin. Yang Rui originally wanted to elect the peasant committee because of the story of 'I am Qiu Jin' that day. The 600 delegates unanimously voted for Qiu Jin instead of Xu Guantian, the original representative of the peasant association, and this result only made people laugh and cry, but the wood was already in the boat, and it could only be so.

"The woman only came to Beijing to file a complaint in response to her father-in-law's will. In fact, she doesn't know how her husband died. Their family just heard that their son was shot dead by the army, so they didn't believe the situation notified by the Ministry of Political Affairs, and the other thing was that the base area was implementing a wartime economy at that time, and her family happened to be a rich gentry, and there were shops in the city and fields in the countryside, so they were confiscated together......" Qiu Jin introduced Han Yuxiu's situation, and she always felt that this lawsuit was just a misunderstanding. "Actually, I thought this case could be settled privately. What Han Yuxiu wants is just an explanation, as long as we explain things clearly to Han Yuxiu. That ......"

"Before, I thought that I could settle out of court, but now public opinion is like this, once we settle out of court, then we will be interfered with in judicial justice." When everyone else breathed a sigh of relief, Yang Rui said in a deep voice. "At that time, in order to eliminate internal dissatisfaction as quickly as possible and obtain the maximum amount of manpower and material resources, some of the policies implemented during the period were indeed crude and inhumane. Now that people have misunderstood or decided, since they have already sued, then give their family an explanation in court that the revival members are sitting upright and upright, and there is nothing to worry about. ”

Yang Rui's eyes were blazing when he spoke, and he only looked at everyone present, and then said: "But Song Jiaoren and Liang Qichao can't let them be too proud, we should also keep them busy." Now that we are entangled in lawsuits, if we want to turn public opinion, we can only muddy the waters. After Yang Rui finished speaking, Li Zilong sent two briefings to every member present, "These two things, one is a proposal for banning holes and state-owned land, since Liang Qichao is a stinky Confucian who wants to make trouble, then let them make a big fuss, isn't it just to respect Kong, we will now propose to the Provisional Congress to ban Kong, let them be busy." There is also a case of state-owned land, which also makes everyone make a fuss, although it is not serious, but it is good to build momentum first and warm up for future land reform. ”

As soon as he said this, Xu Hua, who was sitting next to him, said, "It's a ...... It's a big deal! ”

"Mr. Huafeng, don't worry, it's not really to ban holes and state ownership of land, this is just a proposal, and it will be withdrawn afterwards." Yang Rui said, "My habit is to come and not be rude, since they want to mix up Han Yuxiu's affairs, then I will mix up bigger things." The matter of abolishing holes and banning holes cannot be forcibly promoted by the government, otherwise these people will say that we are burning books and pit Confucianism, and we will not come forward to mention the state-owned case, and it has nothing to do with us. The other thing is the incident in Hangzhou five years ago, and now we suspect that Hu Hanmin of the League has colluded with the Qing army......"

Before Yang Rui finished speaking, Cai Yuanpei jumped up anxiously, he stood up and glared at Yang Rui like a cannibal, and said loudly with a trembling briefing, "It's done, this is true?!" Is this true?! Is this true?! ”

The matter of Hangzhou has always been a shadow in his heart, although the prison life of several years is not bitter, but the torture of the soul is the most painful, several times he has hunger strike and waiting for death, but was rescued again, until the end of his wife Huang Zhongyu personally went to Beijing to persuade, he only rested his will to die, quietly put his mind into academics. Now I heard that the defeat of Hangzhou was not entirely because of him, but because of another inside story, which only made him look crazy.

Cai Yuanpei was like this, and the others also looked at Yang Rui excitedly. Yang Rui suppressed the anger in his heart and sneered, "Of course it's true." Now that Wang Kaicheng, who killed Zhao Sheng's younger brother and falsely spread the news of Zhao Guang in the ninth town, he has explained the matter very clearly, one of the masterminds, Wang Ruqi, was also detained in Shanghai yesterday, and this case was originally wanted to wait for the evidence to be sufficient before filing the case, but now that the situation is like this, let's put it forward together, and see how the people on the side of the alliance will respond? ”

After Yang Rui finished talking about the incident in Hangzhou that year, several committee members present were about to go to Tianjin to confront Song Jiaoren. Qiu Jin even went to Japan to find Sun Wen to ask about the matter clearly, and gentle people such as Xu Huafeng, Du Yaquan, Yu Huizu, etc. were also emotional, while Xie Jintai's face changed several times. After muttering and scolding, he cried bitterly, he had long guessed that there was a hidden secret in the defeat of Hangzhou back then, and now the truth is finally revealed, Zhong Mei is such a good comrade, so many soldiers turned out to be calculated!

The meeting was chaotic for a while because of excitement, and only when everyone's feelings subsided did Yang Rui discuss other things. The extraordinary meeting was adjourned. The two things have already been sent out, and the proposal of the Provisional Congress has not been mentioned, and the complaint against the members of the League has passed. Dali Temple is blowing up again. Shen Jiaben, as a few days ago, invited Xu Shijie from the Criminal Department, Wu Tingfang, Zhang Shizhao, Luo Wengan, Jiang Yong and others from Dali Temple to come over for discussion. Because of the Han Yuxiu case a few days ago, the people of the Tingwei Mansion were well received by public opinion, saying that the princes of the Tingwei Mansion were not afraid of power and were the masters of the people. But now I look like it's a revival society. And it's the Alliance. Everyone chuckled in their hearts, knowing that these two meetings were going to be a mess.

"This is a case sent by Xu Xilin of the Inspectorate, Dali Temple has to accept it if you don't accept it, you can discuss it and see how things should be?" The Shen family is dressed in sackcloth, and the old god is here, he is not afraid of suering, anyway, no matter how he sues, it is someone else's business. The Tingwei Mansion is impartial in enforcing the law. The reason why everyone was called to discuss was because he saw that many judges in Dali Temple had graduated from Japan. I am afraid that these people and the alliance will be implicated, and I want to remind everyone that everyone will enforce the law impartially.

"This is what Yang Jingcheng did on purpose, he just wants to muddy things so that ......" Zhang Shizhao agreed to take over Han Yuxiu's complaint earlier, worried that he would not see the revival reaction for a few days, and only admired Yang Rui's massiveness, but now when he saw this situation, his heart suddenly cooled half, and what he was most worried about happened, that is, the parties began to brutally infighting.

Zhang Shizhao did not say that everyone present also knew that this was a counterattack by the Renaissance Association, and fishing in troubled waters may be one of its purposes, but the most important thing is to smear Sun Wen, the honorary premier of the Kuomintang, and now the election work of the Kuomintang has been carried out under the planning of Song Jiaoren, and if this case is convicted, the reputation of Sun Wen and others will be completely ruined.

Shen Jiaben looked at the people who didn't speak, and sighed, "The matter has come to this point, and we can only go over step by step." The new dynasty is not governed by people, but by the rule of law, no matter how the two parties fight, it will only highlight the importance of the law, everyone should not forget that the three departments of the Tingwei Mansion are only responsible to the Congress, and other people, things, and parties should not think too much. ”

Shen Jiaben, as an old adult, reminded everyone here that the two dynasties were ministers, and his thoughts were extremely complicated, if it weren't for the independence of the judiciary and the fact that the Imperial Governor's Mansion was only responsible to the Congress, he would not have come out to be an official. Now the Tingwei Mansion is involved in the struggle between the two parties, once the Dali Temple is a little biased, the good situation of judicial independence will be ruined, which is why he wants to convene a meeting, that is, no one can bend the law with favoritism. Shen Jiaben's thoughts were understood and agreed by everyone present, but when he saw the scolding of all parties in the newspaper, Zhang Shizhao, who couldn't bear to be like this, finally asked to see Yang Rui.

"Xingyan, why are you here?" In the charcoal-burning hot office, Yang Rui looked at Zhang Shizhao and asked with a smile, he knew the news of Zhang Shizhao's return to China, but he had never looked for himself, and he was still happy to see him today.

"Yes, I'm here to inquire about something." Compared with Yang Rui, who was smiling and groaning, Zhang Shizhao was full of sternness.

"Then please take a seat." Yang Rui probably guessed what was going on with him, and his smile was a little more restrained, but he still didn't care.

Sure enough, after retiring from others after the tea screen, Zhang Shizhao said, "It turned out, is the case of the Alliance real?" ”

Yang Rui laughed and said, "Strict, this is really not true, you Dali Temple has the final say, and now Wang Kaicheng and Wang Ruqi are just suspects." ”

"But ......" Yang Rui's businesslike tone only made Zhang Shizhao helpless, "It's done, but why does this matter involve Mr. Sun Zhongshan?" When the accident occurred in Hangzhou, he was far away in the United States. ”

"Sun Wen is the prime minister of the Alliance, and Hu Hanmin is a member of the Alliance, so it's normal for things to affect him." Yang Rui still smiled, "It's like Han Yuxiu's case involves me." It's all a long time, and there is always some responsibility. ”

Yang Rui's self-deprecation only made Zhang Shizhao think that he admitted that this matter was deliberate, and immediately stood up and said, "Actually become a brother, doing this will only make the two associations evil!" Now that we have finally had such a good situation, and the two parties are at loggerheads, the country must be in chaos. How can you ...... How can you be so disrespectful of the big picture? ”

"Hangzhou's uprising failed. I always thought there was a problem inside, and after a few years of investigation, I found out that it was caused by someone who deliberately sabotage, and now I have caught someone. I don't think there's anything wrong with filing an appeal. Yang Rui said, his face became gloomy, "The people can sue the officials, this is the goal pursued by the Fuxing Society, and similarly, the Fuxing Society can also sue the people, which is also the scope of our pursuit." Partisan unity: That's just a lie. From the standpoint of the Renaissance Society, the misfortune of the Kuomintang is the great fortune of the Renaissance Society, and there is anything wrong with this. Strict? ”

"But this will only lead to the country falling into party strife and will never recover, if this is the case, the national situation will be of no benefit to the former Qing." Zhang Shizhao made a conclusion. He didn't want to be an open-minded and generous Yang Rui, how could he become like this.

"Leaving behind the harmful things of the Kuomintang will make the country irreversible." Yang Rui said resolutely, "This time it's a lawsuit." Don't arrest all those people in the Alliance. That's half the catch. However, you can rest assured that I will read the verdict of Dali Temple every time, if you say you are guilty, you will arrest people, and if you say you are not guilty, then you will not arrest people, and they can also ask a lawyer to defend themselves when they are tried. In China, the judiciary is independent. They can rest assured. ”

The more Yang Rui said that his gloomy face was more relaxed, objectively speaking, without the defeat of Hangzhou, there would be no revival society with unlimited power in the countryside today, but he still hates the alliance that killed Zhong Mei and others, and now he can try Sun Wen publicly, and it would be best if he could sentence him to thirty years, forty years, or even life imprisonment.

The Spring Festival of 1911 was spent in the filing of two major bills, as well as the noisy noise of the proposal to ban holes and state-owned land, I don't know whether it was intentional or close to the end of the year, Dali Temple only put the trial of the two cases in the year after the year, and the Congress did not vote immediately on the two bills of the ban on holes and state-owned land, and the same postponed these two proposals, and then discussed them after the year.

The delay in the four cases only made the major newspapers more noisy, and the pro-Revival newspapers only said that Sun Wen of the League was a traitor who colluded with the Manchus to massacre revolutionary soldiers; In addition, he counted the disadvantages of Confucianism and proposed to ban Confucianism; Finally, there was the case of state-owned land, and he also wrote a big article criticizing the landlords' exiled fields and collecting rents, which was really a moth of the country, and the new government should completely confiscate the landlords' land without compensation, and then distribute it equally to the people, so that everyone can be fed and clothed.

The firepower here only refers to three cases, so that the newspapers that originally only reported on Han Yuxiu's case had to reply to refute them, some say that the Revival Society framed the League, some say that the Revival Society has no father and no king, disregard for honesty and shame, and some say that the Renaissance Society violates the Constitution and robs the people's property to curry favor with the people...... Anyway, public opinion in the newspapers began to diversify, and there was no longer the same long denunciation of revival as before.

In the sound of firecrackers on Chinese New Year's Eve, while eating the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, Cheng Zhen, the person Yang Rui hated the most, began to disgust Yang Rui again, and before the meal was finished, she asked, "Chengcheng, you sue me, is the Hangzhou case true?" ”

After Cheng Ying spoke, Yang Rui just didn't hear it, he had already died to this woman, if it weren't for his reputation and overseas Chinese connections and resources, he and this woman would have divorced long ago. Cheng Ying said it twice, Yang Rui put down the chopsticks, let Han Xianfeng take his son down first, and then deliberately said, "Ah, is it true?" How could what happened in Hangzhou be true? If it were, it would be as ridiculous as the sun coming out of the west. Let's tell you the truth, it's fake, and I made people arrange it! My plan is to sentence that Sun Wen to life imprisonment, what do you think? Hehe, I'm very satisfied anyway. ”

Seeing Yang Rui say this, Cheng Ying couldn't sit still at all, and she said loudly, "You...... How can you do this to them? Put me in jail! ”

"Haha!" Yang Rui was suddenly happy by the disgusting feelings, he hated to see Cheng Ying care about Sun Wen and the members of the alliance like a virgin, but he was most happy to see Cheng Ying sad because the alliance would be attacked, which made him feel an indescribable pleasure, "What are you doing in prison?" You better be an enthusiastic audience, you can go to the prison in the future to see the little white faces of Mr. Zhongshan, Mr. Huang Xing, and Wang Zhaoming and Hu Hanmin, anyway, I will arrest them one by one! Haha......"

"You! Shame on you! Cheng Ying looked at Yang Rui, who was laughing, and couldn't help but scold.

"You're wrong! It's not me who is shameless, but Sun Wen and Huang Xing and others, that Song Jiaoren, who is now also starting to be shameless, taking Han Yuxiu's case to publicize it everywhere. I haven't seen any of those noble people in the Alliance, what else will they do besides making trouble? Shouting and shouting every day is nothing more than thinking about being on top. You like those people in the Alliance so much, then go to Chinese New Year's Eve dinner with them, what are you doing here? Get lost! After Yang Rui finished speaking, he lifted the dining table, and there was only a pile of mess left in the dining room. (To be continued......)
