For Qiu Jin, Wang Ji and others, everything that happened from yesterday to this morning was inexplicable. First, Yang Rui was silent and refused to talk; Later, the telegram was blocked, Qi Qingyuan warned that because of the lack of officials in Tonghua, there might be chaos in the city tonight, and for the sake of safety, he would 'protect' the Longmen Inn, and everyone was forbidden to go out;

In the end, when all the dust settled, a major of the tax police who led the team actually said that since yesterday, the prime minister and the delegates who went to Tonghua to attend the meeting were under house arrest by Qi Qingyuan, and they had to parachute in to rescue them. It's just that Qi Qingyuan walked too fast, and when he rushed to the airport with people, the plane had already broken through the air, and he only rescued Zhang Shi, the director of the intelligence bureau, who was about to be shot.

The three of them were bombarded by Qi Qingyuan's coup d'état, but before the matter was over, the tax police major reported that there was a coup d'état in the capital, and Cai Yuanpei had taken over the capital, and after killing everywhere, he also issued a killing order to the whole country......

"This can't be!!" Before Fu Zuoyi's words were finished, Qiu Jin, whose body was constantly trembling slightly, shouted. She could understand Qi Qingyuan's matter, and this was just imprisonment, and it was only because Yang Rui was uncompromising that things became out of control. Of course, this is also because she is gullible Liu Boyuan, who would have thought that he and Qi Qingyuan were actually in the same group. The casualties on Tonghua's side are only the tax police and the Fuxing Army, and some are not the Fuxing Army, they are just Qi Qingyuan's private soldiers, but what Cai Yuanpei did in Beijing is incomprehensible. What is he doing this for?

"Lord Aki, there is indeed a coup d'état in Kyochu. Comrades from the Standing Committee and the Politburo, as well as representatives of the Inspector's Yuanyuan, were coerced by Cai Yuanpei to violently take over various ministries in Beijing. Cai Yuanpei also demanded that the party be cleared in all localities in the name of the rebellion of the Kuomintang Party and killed the prime minister, and issued a chaotic order of 'killing one person to clear himself, killing ten people to be honored, killing 100 people to be knighted, and killing 1,000 people to be crowned marquis'. Although Baoding is trying its best to stop it, it has little effect except for the army system and the cities controlled by the tax police. Fu Zuoyi reported the current situation to Qiu Jin, Wang Ji and others according to Baoding's call - Baoding didn't know what Qiu Jin and the others had done, and only thought that they were all victims like the prime minister.

"Major Fu, you said that the Prime Minister has flown to Gyeonggi. Wouldn't it be dangerous for him to really arrive in the capital? Zhong Guangguan's mind was also confused, Qi Qingyuan's matter was not mentioned, but the matter in Beijing was very clear, between Yang Rui and Cai Yuanpei, they were simply mules on different paths, and they couldn't go together.

"Yes, sir. Now we are trying to rescue the Prime Minister. Fu Zuoyi said embarrassedly.

"What about Lord Xie, Lord Xu? Where are they? Wang Jitong said suddenly, he understood the danger of Cai Yuanpei's coup. But these few people can't do anything, only by uniting Xie Zhangtai, Xu Huafeng and others, can they refute Cai Yuanpei's chaotic life and accuse him of being a real rebellion.

"They were kept in the barracks. is already under the escort of General Wang...... "Fu Zuoyi glanced at Wang Xiaozhen, who was not speaking beside him, and from the beginning of the meeting, the two of them were very incompatible. "They'll be there soon."

"Xiao Zhen frightened the gentlemen!" Wang Xiaozhen bowed, he was still very worried about his role in the whole thing. I'm worried about being implicated afterwards, so I've been afraid to speak. However, Wang Jitong instantly saw through his thoughts. Gentle smile: "Soldiers take obedience to military orders as their duty, and you don't have to blame yourself." Besides, we are also responsible for this matter, I didn't expect Qingyuan to take risks, I really shouldn't believe it......"

Before Wang Jitong finished speaking, Xie Jintai's eager voice was outside, "Where is the Prime Minister?!" Where is the Prime Minister? If the Prime Minister is ......"

"Chong'an!" Zhong Guangguan and Qiu Jin immediately greeted him, and after Xie Jintai, Xu Huafeng, who was out of breath because he was walking too fast. The officers accompanying the escort didn't know the whole story, so neither of them knew what was going on.

"It turned out that Cheng has been rescued!" Zhong Guangguan said, "But he didn't know that Qi Qingyuan had fled at the time. Now the problem is that the people staged a coup d'état in the capital, and it is still ...... He also said that Tonghua was a rebellion of the Kuomintang Party, and demanded that all localities immediately clear the party! ”

"What!!" Xu Huafeng forgot to gasp when he heard it, and stomped his feet and said, "Is he crazy?!" ”

"That's true." Wang Jitong glanced at Fu Zuoyi, "Jing Cheng and the General Staff had arrangements for the rebellion very early, so the First Army Airborne rescued him. But what I didn't expect was that the people also took the opportunity to make trouble, he should have wanted to achieve a democratic republic, so he did not hesitate to kill people for this reason. Chong'an, Mr. Huafeng, we should immediately send a joint telegram to the whole country to expose the lies of the people. Speaking of this, Wang Jitong glanced at everyone present again, and then said: "In order to win the trust of the people, we should immediately deny that there was a rebellion in Tonghua, and the matter of Qi Qingyuan must also be strictly forbidden to spread outside, at least not before the coup d'état in the capital is resolved." ”

After all, Wang Jitong was in Shanghai before and planned the overall situation. The excuse for Cai Yuanpei's coup is the rebellion of the Tonghua Nationalist Party, but if the rebellion of the Nationalist Party does not exist at all, then his legitimacy will be greatly reduced, and those unexposed Qi Qingyuan remnants will not be cornered and defect to Cai Yuanpei. As soon as he made this suggestion, Xie Jintai was the first to nod, Xu Huafeng also agreed, and Qiu Jin had no opinion at this time - she was already six gods and no master.

"Let's do it." Xie Jintai said, and then he said: "It would be better if it was here." What if the people ask about it? ”

"Let's just say that Cheng Cheng has rushed to the capital urgently!" Wang Jitong also knew that the only place that he couldn't say was here. Once Cai Yuanpei asks everyone to prove that the prime minister is not dead, then they will not be able to produce any evidence. However, like Cai Yuanpei, he thought of the hidden things before the founding of the country, and suddenly asked: "Where is Yuanshi, where is he?" ”

"Lord Liu has committed suicide by taking poison." Fu Zuoyi said. "It was found in a room on the second floor, and he had a lot of bruises on his body, and he should have been tortured to extract a confession before his death......"

Hearing that Liu Boyuan was dead, Wang Jitong immediately stopped thinking about looking for Yang Rui's substitute, and he decisively said: "Let's electrify the whole country as soon as possible." The other thing is to find as many things as possible. ”

Xie Zhangtai, Xu Huafeng, Qiu Jin, these three are members of the Standing Committee, although Wang Jitong and Zhong Guangguan are not. But they were very prestigious in the revival society, and the joint announcement of these five people had a great impact. In Shanghai, which is jointly controlled by the merchant group and the tax police. After the electricity in the northeast was broadcast by the radio station, the two million citizens were once again excited.

Their experience of this day was something they had never experienced in their lifetimes: first, they were suddenly notified of the Prime Minister's bad news on the radio in the middle of the night. said that the Chinese Pure Party in Tonghua City rebelled and the prime minister was killed, and everyone's hearts were suddenly like knives and they couldn't help but die; After sitting in the middle of the night, when preparing to dress in black yarn in the morning, the radio changed the tone again, and the tax commissioner suddenly broadcast that the tax police and business groups officially took over the Shanghai listing in accordance with the order of the Prime Minister's Special Office, and claimed that Cai Yuanpei coup d'état of the Beijing Division Rebellion Party, and the death of the prime minister was just Cai Yuanpei's words.

Of course, everyone wants to believe the latter one, and this is an order from the Prime Minister's (Special) Office. Since there is an order from the Prime Minister's Office, it is natural that the Prime Minister is unscathed. Although most people have such a heartfelt wish, this is still mostly speculation, between Tonghua and Jingshi, one must be true and the other is false.

At half past six o'clock, three important cabinet ministers and two Guogong officials of Tonghua jointly sent a telegram to once again announce that the coup d'état of Cai Yuanpei had suddenly taken place in Beijing, and the prime minister had rushed to Gyeonggi an hour ago to deal with it. After this road is energized. All doubts about Tonghua and the so-called defection of the Kuomintang Party have just vanished. All the people changed their clothes, the black chess pieces that were about to be hung were also replaced with dragon flags, and some people set off firecrackers early in the morning.

This is true in Shanghai, and so are many more cities that have been taken over by tax police. But in the city that has not been taken over by the tax police, in the capital, this vital electricity is like other electricity from Baoding, like a mud cow into the sea. Silent.

In the building of the Inspector's Academy, which had been cleaned several times but still smelled of blood, Xu Baohuang uneasily put Tonghua Tongtong on Cai Yuanpei's desk. His face was so pale that he suspected he would accidentally fall down - the power sent from Tonghua. That's tantamount to saying that your side is all finished.

"This timed Xiao Xu's idea!" Cai Yuanpei looked at the message and said with a smile. According to his understanding, among the elders of the Revival Association, in addition to Yang Rui, Wang Jitong is next. As for Zhang Taiyan, Qiu Jin and others, they are all scholars at all.

"That's... So what should we... What to do... Do? Xu Baohuang's teeth were fighting, and he was completely desperate for the future of himself and Cai Yuanpei.

"Are you scared?" Cai Yuanpei suddenly looked at him and asked with a smile.

"I... I..., there is sir... In..., not afraid. "Trembling can't be stopped by the brain, so although he knows that Cai Yuanpei doesn't like it, Xu Baohuang can't control his trembling body and teeth.

"You're obviously scared." Cai Yuanpei was strangely not angry, but stood up kindly and patted Xu Baohuang's collar, and said with a smile: "What we have done is unprecedented and unprecedented, and it is to create a new world for China." The Revival Society died so many people for the overthrow of the Manchus! So many people died to fight the Japanese and Russian aggression! So many people died in order to exchange treaties with countries and gain equal international status! Why can't you die?! ”

Cai Yuanpei's voice suddenly rose, and his finger pointed at Xu Baohuang. This drink suddenly made Xu Baohuang's body jump and his face turned dirty, fortunately he didn't blindly accuse Xu Baohuang, he immediately pointed at himself again, and said loudly: "Why can't I die?!" Anything can die for it, whether it's me, or you! We are going to use someone else's, our own, and our corpses to lay the foundation for this country! Let her embark on the path of a democratic republic! That's why I asked Zhongyu and Wuji to transfer them back from the airport, and we all have to die for this country! ……”

No matter what Cai Yuanpei said or said, Xu Baohuang felt that he was crazy, but the problem was that he had already gotten on the thief ship that was about to sink, and he had no chance of escaping. He, like those who reported and slaughtered Shangguan, would only sink into the dark and cold seabed like Cai Yuanpei's family who was temporarily transferred back from the airport, and he would never be able to turn over.

The gushing speech ended half an hour later in the sound of the report outside, and then the big drama directed by Cai Yuanpei, who must not be postponed because of the excited speech. "Are you all ready?" Cai Yuanpei asked solemnly.

"It's all set." Thinking of his inevitable end, Xu Baohuang couldn't help but tremble a lot, at least his teeth stopped fighting.

"Good!" Cai Yuanpei glanced at him appreciatively, "Then let's go over!" ”

The parliamentary hall of the Inspectorate, which had passed the emergency last night, was packed, and although the representatives of the Revival Society did not attend and the Kuomintang representatives were still in detention, the empty hall was filled with representatives of embassies, newspapers, and teachers and students of various universities. As soon as he entered the venue, it caused countless commotions. Some young students scolded him as an executioner -- under Cai Yuanpei's orders, the shooting place was chosen in public. The corpse was also unconcealed. In his own words, it was to make 'the whole world shudder after dawn'. The students were excited. But there were not many of them, and there were guards at the venue, so they could only shout and watch Cai Yuanpei walk onto the rostrum.

"Gentlemen, comrades, ......" Cai Yuanpei, who was sleepy, exuded incomparable energy at this time, he raised his hands and greeted everyone present, but there was no applause at the venue.

"Hehe......" He was not surprised by this, and only smiled: "The purpose of this press conference." It's to let you know why so many people died overnight! Cai Yuanpei's voice suddenly became stern, "According to government statistics, a total of 2,300 Kuomintang rebels were executed in the capital last night; More than 44,000 people have been executed in all localities, that is, in the whole country except the capital, according to the cumulative number of telegrams, and this number is still increasing, and it is believed that by tomorrow it will increase to more than 100,000, 200,000, and 500,000! ”

The last sentence Cai Yuanpei's voice was extremely high, and he only suppressed the somewhat chaotic venue. He added: "These are the organizational decisions of the Standing Committee of the Revival Society and the representatives of the Inspectorate, and I just signed and issued these orders!" Speaking of which, I don't think you know the principles and procedures for implementing the internal resolutions of the Revival Council, do you? In fact, the entire Inspectorate is just a subordinate body of the Standing Committee of the Renaissance Society. The Inspectorate will never dare to say the West, the revival will say killing, and the Inspectorate can only raise its hand to agree to kill. Why?! It's just a bunch of puppets! ”

'Wow! There was an uproar in the room. In the past, the relationship between the Revival Society and the Auditor's Yuan was only known to a few insiders. And political parties can influence decision-making through their seats in parliament, as is the case with all countries. But 'revival will say killing, and the representative of the Inspectorate can only raise his hand to agree to killing.'" This is completely against the Constitution, this is no longer politics, this is a crime!

"Unconstitutional! Unconstitutional! Unconstitutional!! One person shouted, a dozen followed, and then the whole audience shouted. For a while, the sound of the word 'unconstitutional' swept the audience, but Cai Yuanpei was unmoved, he saw that everyone was so excited, he just lowered his head and drank tea.

After the audience was quietly urged by Hu Shi, a disabled person in the School of Liberal Arts of Peking University, he continued: "You guys are farting!" What is unconstitutional? Where is the Constitution? The Standing Committee only needs one resolution, and the constitution can be abolished! Do you really think that the Holy Spirit of the Constitution is incomparable? Bah! Democratic Centralism in the Revival Council - What is Democratic Centralism? It is up to the higher authorities to decide everything, and if the Standing Committee says to shoot you, the members will carry out the order, even if they are unwilling. A few of those who were shot and shot last night didn't know that this was illegal, but as a result, they were still killed, and the constitution was waste paper! ”

Cai Yuanpei said that everyone was stunned, and actually forgot to refute, he took advantage of the situation and said: "Besides, even if the representative of the Inspectorate disagrees, what if you people don't agree?" Revival will have guns! You know? There are guns!! Even if you kill all of you, what about just one crime? The General Political Department under the Taiwei Mansion is to supervise the ideology of the army, and if any officers and soldiers do not listen to the decision of the Renaissance Association, they will be dismissed from their posts or shot at the worst. What does it mean to command a gun? This is the command gun!

Do you really think that you are all Chinese nationals? Do you really think that if you pay your taxes and vote, you will be able to decide national affairs? Bah! You're just ants! Don't talk about you, even the Kuomintang is the same, now it's to give them face, of course, in order to better coax you, so that you think that the election is real, that the vote is real, that everything is true. But if the Kuomintang really wants to come to power, does the Kuomintang have an army? There is a revival army in the revival society, and in the event of a civil war, no, not even a civil war, send a few people to the door to arrest it, just like last night. ”

The people in the venue were paralyzed, no one asked questions, no one was in turmoil, it was all quiet. Cai Yuanpei made them understand that the only difference between himself and the corpses on the road in the capital was that the execution order had not been issued, and once it was issued, the next thing was to be shot.

"I have asked you here today to tell you: Don't mention any constitution, any elections, or any participation in politics, these are just lies, and you believe so deeply. Now I want to honestly and truthfully implement the resolution of the Standing Committee of the Renaissance Council - that is, to enforce the law on public ownership of property and confiscate all personal property! ”

Just as Cai Yuanpei imagined, the overwhelming and lifeless venue suddenly began to rebound. Looking at the panicked people, he smiled and said, "This is also agreed by all the representatives of the Inspectorate. For your losses. The government will give compensation of 10% to 20%. If the property is not surrendered, then the IRS will collect 20 percent of the property tax per year......"

"You're a robber! Bandit!! The audience was silent. A notebook and a pen were thrown up, a journalist did it, and he couldn't listen to it anymore.

"Robbers?!" Cai Yuanpei laughed: "Why did you not object to the landlord's land when you confiscated it, but also sang praises. I really think that it is not my own business, and the disaster is only a single line, and I tell you, this is retribution! I also want to tell you that you people are still slaves, just like the people under the Manchus. The only difference is that the Manchus want to enslave and exploit you, but they don't have that kind of power; And there are a thousand ways that Revival can deal with you. Are there any dissatisfied? If you are not satisfied, please raise your hand. Raise your hands and shoot them all! Have it? Have it? Have it? ”

It was still important to say three times, Cai Yuanpei asked three times in a row, and as he expected, many students and reporters raised their hands, and as soon as he waved his hand, the soldiers dragged these people out - killing people all night, whether it was a numb body or a brain that knew that there was no turning back, made these soldiers more capable and merciless than before. The counselors and martial arts halls of various countries who couldn't stand it also immediately stood up and raised their voices against it. But in the chaos of the venue, their voices were too quiet.

More than ten minutes later, most of the opponents who were knocked unconscious and injured by the butts of the guns were dragged out, but Cai Yuanpei, who still wanted to speak, could not make the venue quiet no matter how much he hit the wooden hammer. Everyone was shocked by his brutality. 'Bang! Bang! At his behestage, a soldier under the rostrum fired two shots into the air, and the sudden sound of gunfire quieted everyone.

"Gentlemen. Don't get excited! Cai Yuanpei said, "I'm just implementing the organizational resolution of the Revival Association." Disobedience is just a matter of execution. You can all go and watch the execution, and you can even take pictures. ”

With Cai Yuanpei's voice. The doors and windows of the inner hall suddenly opened, and through the vigilant soldiers, the opponents who had been dragged out were dragged by the soldiers like dogs and tied to a stake. Behind the wooden pole was the corpse of the representative of the Detective Institute who had been shot last night, and they were thrown there in a messy manner, either dead or looking up to the sky, and countless green-headed flies gathered on it, and as soon as someone approached, the flies 'buzzed' and flew away, not knowing that someone had brought fresh 'food'.

The door opened, and the people in the hall rushed out, for whom the corpse behind the stake was not a surprise, the real surprise was that they would now be shot without passing any trial if they raised their hands in disapproval.

"Mr. Cai, this is a crime! This is a blatant trampling on the Constitution! His Majesty's Government of Great Britain expresses its strong protest and serious condemnation of this! You should release them right away!! "The military attache of the British Embassy, who had contact with Cai Yuanpei before, David . S. Robertson said hatefully. He couldn't imagine that Cai Yuanpei, who was wearing glasses and had a gentle face in front of him, could be so barbaric, which was even more brutal than the Qing government! The only time the Qing government was sentenced without trial was also due to a palace coup, and it was only officials who were executed at that time, not innocent people.

"Release?!" Cai Yuanpei felt funny. Qi Qingyuan and Yang Rui had already united at this time, and he had no hope of ruling anymore, so it became his only mission to kill as many members of the Revival Society as possible before he died, and at the same time to completely expose the brutality of the Renaissance Society's system. He smiled and said, "Mr. Robert, you and all of you woke up today and saw that everything was the real Revival. Those who do not obey the resolution of the Reconstruction Society are against the 40,000,000 people and should be killed, and there is nothing to discuss about this. ”

After saying that, he restrained his smile when he turned his head, and said to Xu Baohuang beside him: "The resolution against the Revival Association is on the opposite side of the people, and now I order: shoot them!" ”

Xu Baohuang has conveyed a lot of similar orders, but this time he suddenly stopped, and when Cai Yuanpei looked over, he suddenly couldn't hold back and fainted. Seeing him like this, Cai Yuanpei had no choice but to personally shout to the firing squad in the distance: "In the name of the Fuxing Association and the people, shoot these hostile elements!" ”

The execution ground was completely under the guard of the soldiers, and although it was surrounded by hundreds of people outside, it had no effect on the firing squad. As soon as Cai Yuanpei's voice fell, the gunshots over there rang out, and the crowd immediately retreated like an electric shock, some people trembled, some people cried, and some people panicked......

"Long live the Constitution!" Before he died, a student suddenly cried out, because he was shot, his voice not only stopped abruptly, but was drowned out by more gunfire, but this long live was still heard by other people waiting to be killed, and more people shouted 'Long live the Constitution'.

Suddenly hearing this 'Long live the Constitution', Cai Yuanpei's body seemed to have been shot, and he suddenly couldn't help but want to cry, but another greater force made him hold back his tears, and he shouted: "What are you shouting!" Will it end well to oppose the people and revival? Someone! Plug up their pipes for me!! (To be continued.) )
