In order to make Shanghai truly become the first capital of the Far East, with the approval of Yin'an Palace, the Shanghai Municipal Government built a high-style office building near the small north gate after demolishing the old city. As soon as the design of the 'nondescript 'came out, others said that it was not good, and thought that it was difficult for this style to pass the review of the relevant departments in the capital, but Fei Yugui was not worried about it, and after he went to the capital once, the matter was immediately done.

The wide and towering European-style stone building, the polished incomparably bright and smooth Indian marble interior, and the seemingly simple but luxurious interior decoration, the whole office building does not look like a government agency, if you can add neon signs, it is simply a nightclub in later generations. Dressed in a crimson official robe from the first grade and a jade belt around his waist, Xu Xilin, the imperial history of the Inspectorate's Zuodu, although he didn't understand nightclubs, when he stepped on these marble floors, his face suddenly became indescribably weird.

"My lord, the front was stopped, and the city patrol blocked our people at the staircase." Chen Ying of the Shanghai Inspectorate took the lead, but as soon as he received help, he had to report back.

"Did the man who revealed the decree and the Inspectorate have any documents?" Xu Xilin's face suddenly turned cold, he has arrested no less than thousands of people over the years, and he has never met a bailiff who dares to stop him.

"It's bright. But the leader of the team was a revolutionary veteran, who said that he did not recognize the holy decree, but only the prime minister's handwriting. Chen Ying smiled bitterly, "We said that we couldn't stop the Inspectorate from taking people, but he said that he didn't know what the Inspectorate was." ”

"That's on purpose!" A smile appeared on Xu Xilin's face, and his face sank after laughing. "Order the bailiff to go in!"

"Understood, sir!" Chen Ying hurried forward. After a few gunshots, the bailiffs, who were blocked at the staircase on the first and second floors, rushed up.

The arrest would have been sudden and secretive. But the sound of gunfire resounded throughout the municipal building, and the arrest began to turn bright. At this time, in the mayor's office on the top floor of the building, Fei Yugui, who had rolled up his sleeves and was covered with sweat, had just hung up a city phone, and when he heard the secretary's report that the police had rushed up, he snatched the internal phone in the secretary's hand and shouted at the head of the city government security department at the other end: "I order you in the name of the revival association and in the name of the revolution: stop them!" Swear to stop them!! ”

Fei Yugui roared wildly, but there was no response on the other end of the phone at this time, only noisy voices and some gunshots. Obviously, the third floor was also breached. Fei Yugui, who knew that he was not spared this time, suddenly opened the office drawer, and the Bai Langlin curved ruler pistol that had been seized by the Russian officer but had not been used for a long time was grabbed by him, and after the magazine was pushed up, he did not aim the muzzle at himself, but at the office door.

The door was closed, but the light from the crack under the door kept coming in and out with the sound of footsteps. Just as Fei Yugui was thinking about why they didn't rush in, someone outside shouted, "Fei Ziyi." We are the Shanghai Inspectorate, and you have been arrested. The voice shouted, and the office door was pushed open with a thud. The light over there pierced Fei Yugui's eyes, and he was already hysterical as he looked at the door, 'Bang... Bang... Bang...' That's three shots. It's just that the door opened but no one came in, and the three shots were also fired.

"Fei Ziyi. You've been arrested! Recalcitrant resistance is just ......a dead end," said Chen Ying's voice from the Shanghai Inspectorate.

"Fart! Fuck your fart! "Fei Yugui fired two more shots, and the bullet hit the floor. There was no trace of the bounce. "If you have the ability, you can rush in, Lao Tzu is a military position. You can't control Lao Tzu! ”

"Presumptuous!" Another voice shouted. "Ziyi, put down the gun." This voice was Zhang Chengyue, who did not hide behind the wall like a bailiff, and walked into the office through the door while drinking. Maybe he was taken aback, or maybe he recognized this classmate and comrade in the past, Fei Yugui, who was holding a gun, only looked at Zhang Chengyue in a daze.

The sound of footsteps of 'tom tom da', taking advantage of this gap, the bailiff with a gun poured into the room, Fei Yugui, who felt that the general trend was gone, put down the gun, he clapped his hands and said, "You want to arrest someone, right?" Good! I'll go with you and see what you can do with me!" ”

"Got his shot." Xu Xilin looked at the fearless Fei Yugui, his face was heavy and scary, he had never seen an arrest so justified.

Feeling Xu Xilin's angry gaze, while the bailiff on the side read out the pre-arrest warning, Fei Yugui laughed and said, "Yo, isn't this Xu anti-bones?" I really didn't expect it, I thought it was Gong ** from Yichun Garden in Bada Hutong. ”

"Don't be presumptuous! Fei Ziyi, just by yourself and your ordering your subordinates to shoot and arrest, it is enough to sentence you to more than ten years. Xu Xilin glared at him angrily, very much wondering what he was thinking in his heart at this time.

"Haha! Look at what you said, Lao Tzu is a revolutionary father, and he was killed in the sea of corpses and blood, what can you do with me? Is it just you a scumbag! Fei Yugui doesn't take Xu Xilin seriously at all, usually everyone still abides by officialdom, but now it's this time, he can say whatever comes to his mind.

"Go tell the judge what you say." Xu Xilin didn't care about being called Xu Gengu, this person who had been tortured to death was not afraid of anything at all. "Take it away!"

Fei Yugui, who was sweating like a water dog, was actually most afraid that others would ignore him, and at this time, seeing Xu Xilin like this, he was handcuffed by the bailiff and shouted at the same time, "Why torture me?" Lao Tzu is the father of the revolution! Lao Tzu is the father of the revolution! Why torture me? Yin Ge, you fucking help me say something! You're talking......"

Fei Yugui was pulled out of the office by the bailiff and taken to the corridor outside, although it was getting farther and farther away, his voice was getting louder and more poignant. Looking at the iceberg-like Zhang Chengyue, Xu Xilin took out a cigarette and handed over a cigarette.

Taking Xu Xilin's cigarette, Zhang Chengyue suddenly asked, "Do you want to lock him up in Shanghai?" ”

"Nope." Xu Xilin shook his head violently, "There are too many people involved in the officialdom and business circles, and there will definitely be an accident in Shanghai, so they can only be sent to Beijing; Besides, a big case of this level can only be tried by the Dali Temple of the Tingwei Mansion, who else can hold it down. ”

"Hmm." When the smoke exhaled from Zhang Chengyue's nose. He hummed softly.

"It's Xilin who has a lot of heart, if there is no Yin Pavilion this time. It's really troublesome. Xu Xilin expressed his kindness, and he was still a little wary of Zhang Chengyue before. He is the only one who knows the time of the arrest.

"Hehe......" Zhang Chengyue chuckled, noncommittal. He extinguished the half-smoked cartridge and walked out of the office, which was being searched by the bailiffs.

"My lord, I found it." Chen Ying's face was full of sweat, but her eyes were bright. In the lounge of this office, behind a Western nude oil painting, a specially arranged cubicle was opened, and in addition to bundles of foreign tickets, the black velvet inner wall was covered with all kinds of foreign watches. Xu Xilin saw the 29-diamond Patek Philippe watch at a glance. With a light smile on his face, he said: "Take pictures, enter the file, everything is operated according to the procedure, don't make any mistakes, and be found by those lawyers." ”

"Yes, sir!" Chen Yingji nodded like a pecking rice, this time stepping on Fei Yugui's 'corpse', he felt that his ascension was just around the corner. "Quick! Take a picture and follow the procedure. Don't go wrong......"

'Bang... Bang ......', the photographer lit the magnesium powder, and the narrow inner room was instantly brightened, just as Xu Xilin withdrew. His hand casually brushed the desk but stopped, and on the other side of the desk, a bailiff knocked on the table and was stunned. Xu Xilin also knocked on it, and finally said, "Lift it." How much does it weigh? ”

The adult commanded, and the little bailiff hurriedly stood up and grabbed the table leg to move. But as a result, his face turned red and he used up all his strength to feed, and the table did not move at all. "My lord, this may be made of silver."

"No, it's gold." Chen Ying sharpened the table leg with his saber, and under the black paint, it was all gold.

"Let's take a picture." Xu Xilin shook his head, but this time he didn't smile lightly, but was shocked.

At the same time as Fei Yugui was arrested in the morning, other places in Shanghai were also making arrests, and in the morning, the city was full of tax police, bailiffs, and police carriages that arrested people, and these people were not only government officials, but also leaders in the business circles, money circles, foreign bank offices, and compradors. In less than one morning, the whole of Shanghai was in a state of anarchy, but fortunately, Xu Xilin made a speech on the radio, announcing the implementation of military control in Shanghai and the order of martial law within 72 hours, and saying that a press conference would be held in two hours to inform the citizens of the internal situation, and the situation was barely stabilized.

The people in Shanghai are panicking, and the capital is in chaos. The 'driving Jiang Yingcai' parade planned by Chen Youji and actually commanded by Fu Sinian was chaotic before it left the gate of Peking University. On the first day of the Lunar New Year, when Fu Sinian, a tall Shandong man, led the students of the Faculty of Arts and held wooden sticks to force the students of other colleges to march out of the school, the students of the law and medical schools were okay, but the students of the business school were all thorns, and at this time, the students who felt that the marching students who had gained momentum were very manic, and an official of the Renaissance Youth Association named Zhang Biao immediately opposed the march.

The night before the march, the Xinchao Club held a meeting and decided that as long as they did not join the march, they would be backward students, and it would be useless to say more about these backward students, and if they did not join the march, they would be beaten wildly. But the question is, who is Zhang Biao? After receiving a few blows, he fled to the bottom of the dormitory of the business school and shouted, as long as the business school students in the dormitory immediately picked up the broom stick, dismantled the stool legs and rushed down. The students of the Faculty of Arts are all nerds, and because they want to mobilize the whole school, there are not many people who come, and the students who can withstand half of the academy rushing out collectively to beat them up are from Luo Jialun down, and more than 200 people were beaten on the spot.

The business school resisted by force, although the other colleges did not resist, but people just closed the dormitory door and did not go out of the school at all. As a result, there were more than 3,000 people in the school, and less than 1,000 actually marched out of the school, and many of the students who were forced to follow were halfway away, even if they met Yenching University and some other students who did not know the truth halfway, the number of people in the procession was just over 1,000.

Banners, flags, queues, slogans, Peking University students dressed in uniform student uniforms walked in the front, and students from Yenching University followed, but even if there were a lot of them, including Fu Sinian, these students who had not really marched and struggled, behaved much better than the elementary school students who lined up to go to the cinema to watch a movie, only the activists in front of the queue were excited like aphrodisiacs, and the students in the back were only shopping. In Chen Youji's words, the march was too small and not strong.

When the parade was still being prepared in the school, the news spread to Yin'an Palace, and Yang Rui was very surprised by this. It is said that Cai Yuanpei was not nominated as the secretary of the school yesterday. Today, these students are making a fuss, and politically speaking, this is not an ordinary foolishness. Under the condition that all procedures are legal and public opinion has not dissipated its disgust towards Cai Yuanpei. The first impression of the march was that Cai Yuanpei, who had stepped down, was agitating for ridicule in order to keep his official position, which was as odious as his questioning of the prime minister as Wang Mang the previous month.

Therefore. Yang Rui suppressed the march for a while before informing the Standing Committee members, and when everyone arrived, Qiu Jin, who did not agree with Yang Rui's words before, was the first to speak: "What are you doing to encourage you to learn and ridicule?" ”

"I didn't know they were going to go on strike." Cai Yuanpei had a bitter face, Chen Youji had mentioned the study tour to him before, and he was completely opposed at that time. Of course, Cai Yuanpei, who has never been a villain and is ashamed of being a politician, did not explain to Chen Youji the joints of this - China's supreme power seems to be in the Inspector's Yuan, but in fact it is in the Supreme Standing Committee of the Revival Society. At the end of last year, when the meeting was held, he had been accused by Yang Rui of wanting to launch a mockery to seize power, and if nothing happened, he could argue that it was really a mockery now. Then he will be speechless, and his position will be very awkward.

This is different from Yang Rui's resignation, although Yang Rui's resignation is somewhat irresponsible, but it is self-clearing under his encouragement and questioning, which is understandable; And inciting students to demonstrate, especially when he was not nominated for the title of Faculty Scholar, is simply a violation of law and discipline. If Yang Rui really compromises with the students, then anyone can decide the cabinet candidates by launching a strike, a strike, or a market boycott, which is not only chaotic. It is even more chaotic.

"A student is like a barrel of gasoline, and since you see a spark, you can't extinguish it if you don't burn it out. The people have good intentions, but the teachers and students who plan the march may not think so. Yang Rui did not blame Cai Yuanpei. Rather, they doubt the righteousness of the daily behavior of the marching students and the teachers involved. He said this, which made Cai Yuanpei's heart even more bitter.

"Okay, now that the matter has come out, let's find a way to solve it." Xu Huafeng glanced at Yang Rui and Cai Yuanpei helplessly. Sigh secretly. Originally, everything was fine, and state affairs were thriving. But these two former revolutionary comrades-in-arms were like guns and powder, and they did everything they wanted. Thinking of the corruption case in Shanghai, Xu Huafeng only felt that it was an eventful spring.

"It's better for me to go out with the people to persuade them, the students are marching for the people, and the people may have an effect if they come forward to persuade them." Du Yaquan proposed. He glanced at Yang Rui again, and then said, "It's better to settle things as soon as possible." ”

"You can try it, but I don't think it will have any effect, in the eyes of these students, it will definitely think that I am persecuting the people, and the people have to come forward to dissuade them." Yang Ruipi reminded with a smile, "If you don't believe it, you can try it." ”

The reason is this truth, a few people, you look at me, I look at yours, and in the end I still think that Cai Yuanpei should be sent to try. The inner city of the capital is not big, Cai Yuanpei met the students who marched not far from the Yin'an Palace, he shouted at the top of his voice to everyone to go back to school, and he didn't want the big leader Fu Sinian to wave his hand and shouted loudly: "Mr. Xiaomin must have been persecuted, classmates, let's go to the Prime Minister's Office to find him theory!" ”

The march for half a day was unhindered, and even the patrol police deliberately blocked the road, and at this time the students became more and more emboldened, and as soon as Fu Sinian said that he would go to the Prime Minister's Office, a small group of people immediately shouted and echoed. Soon, the procession arrived at Damucang Hutong, and there were few guards at the gate of Yin'an Hall who had not made any preparations, and more than 1,000 students were blocked, and the entire road was jammed.

"We are the representatives of all schools in the capital, and we have come to see the prime minister for the dismissal of Master Cai of the school, which is our book of ten thousand words." Fu Sinian, the leader, said to the guards at the guard box outside the gate, but his eyes looked through the open gate of the Prime Minister's Office at the road flowers and plants inside, since Yang Rui decided to work here, this place has become the same symbol of China's highest power as the Forbidden City.

There were many people from all over the country who came to the Prime Minister's Office to ask to see the Prime Minister, and he was no stranger to the guards of the Ten Thousand Words Letter, the Blood Letter, the Petition and other things. ”

It is reasonable that soldiers always have to be respectful and courteous when they see students, but the guards outside the Prime Minister's Office only treat these imposing students equally, especially in the face of so many students, they are almost unmoved, and they do not sweep the procession and banners at all. When Xu Yanzhi, who took over Luo Jialun's work, was about to take over the registration book, Fu Dacang, who had long been unhappy in his heart, waved his hand and knocked out the registration book in the hands of the guards, and shouted: "We are asking for the people's life, you go and report it quickly!" ”

"Ladies and gentlemen, the Prime Minister's Office has the rules of the Prime Minister's Office, and the rules of the Prime Minister's Office are to register first, then receive 10,000 words, and then report it. As for when the Prime Minister will be able to meet with you. Then it depends on the arrangement. Since you are students, you should know that this is an important place for the imperial court. Don't mess around here. "The guards had already received a call ordering them not to clash with the students, otherwise they would not have been so polite before. Now the students are embarrassed, and the face of the guard captain immediately sank.

"What a court! What nonsense! China has only a government, not a court; We are the representatives of the students in Beijing, and we are not fooling around for the students. Fu Sinian has a fierce personality, it is rare that such a fierce temperament is superior to others, he grasped the language of the shift leader, and immediately reprimanded loudly, and the momentum was unmatched for a while. The students in the back saw this. I immediately made a noise. The whole alley was suddenly in a commotion.

As a disabled veteran of the revolution, the shift leader saw the students so arrogant, but he was still depressed after being angry, he handed over the register picked up by his subordinates again, suppressed his temper and said: "Whether it is the court or the government, we must pay attention to the regulation and law." The Prime Minister's regulation is to register first. Collect the 10,000-word book again and report it again. To see or not to see is to be arranged by the Secretariat, no one is allowed to violate! Ladies and gentlemen, please. ”

"Students. Don't reason with the authoritarian bureaucracy, we ask for it ourselves! Someone shouted at the back of the line, and the students were about to echo. Another voice came from the back of the line, "Students. Calm down! Students, be calm!! ”

Cai Yuanpei is in his early forties. However, the literati had always been weak, and the students walked much faster than him, and he chased him to the Damucang Hutong, where the students had already negotiated with the guards again. Panting and squeezing up from the ranks, Cai Yuanpei looked at Fu Sinian, the commander-in-chief of the parade, and said, "Students, the government cabinet... The nomination has its own... The Prime Minister's... Considering that you... How can it be ...... How can you be... If you want to do it yourself, you have to ask the prime minister to agree......"

Cai Yuanpei was not tired, he could only say half a sentence, and seeing that he still did not support the march, Fu Sinian immediately shouted again: "Students, we support Lord Cai, we want to see the prime minister!" We support Lord Chua, we want to meet the Prime Minister!! ……”

These two slogans took turns, and the louder they were, the louder they became. Cai Yuanpei had to die when he saw this, Yang Rui said, 'The student is a barrel of gasoline, since he sees the spark, it can't be extinguished if it is not burned', and he was powerless at this time, it was not good to enter the Yin'an Palace, and it was not good to stand at the door, so he was completely at a loss.

Cai Yuanpei was at a loss, and Du Yaquan saw that he couldn't control the situation, so he turned around and entered the prime minister's office. When I walked inside, I saw Yang Rui calmly and leisurely, dealing with official business. He took a breath and said as gently as possible: "It's done, the students are blocking the door, and the people can't be persuaded to leave, see if it's ......?"

"It's useless for me to go." Yang Rui put down his pen and said: "They want me to dismiss Zhuzhuang and reappoint the people." If I don't agree, they will continue to make trouble, if I agree, this list will be opened, will I be a fake prime minister? ”

"So what now?" In all fairness, what Yang Rui said may not be unreasonable, but Du Yaquan is very worried that the student union will clash with the guards of the Prime Minister's Office, and if there are casualties, it will not be good.

"Wait." Yang Rui said with a smile. "When they are tired, they will naturally go back to class, we are a legitimate government, and we are not full of people, what are we worried about."

Yang Rui didn't care, and Du Yaquan couldn't think of any other way, so things were deadlocked here. In the first year of the Republic of China, they dared to protest in the name of 'stealing and selling school property' and drove away the principal Ma Liang, who did not like it; the following year, in the name of 'the principal breaking the law', more than 100 people rushed into the principal's office, not only smashing it, but also coercing the successor principal He Liao to write a resignation note on the spot. Now these people are not only organized, but also blocked at the door of the Prime Minister's Office, except for the guards, no one has seen him as a dish for more than half an hour, and the student leader Fu Sinian suddenly became angry, yelled and took the lead in rushing in.

The prime minister's office is an important place for the government, how could these students rush as soon as they say, and the guards who have been on guard on the side immediately stop it. But no one expected that the students would rush all of them, and more than a hundred guards could only block the gate, but there were hundreds of students who rushed over; In addition, the guards' bayonet guns had long been ordered to be replaced with short sticks that did not hurt people, but in the hands of the students there were spears that looked like flagpoles but were actually sharp, and these spears were all pierced in a mess, and it was not long before the thin human wall formed by the guards was pierced. At this moment, the Prime Minister's Office, which was not occupied by hundreds of thousands of Japanese troops, actually fell into the hands of the student party with a bastard. (To be continued......)
