At the beginning, I had never seen any scholars making trouble under the rule of the old court.

After saying this, the colleague sat back in his seat and muttered, "How is this a good ......?"

In order not to make the people in this room too pessimistic, Deng Mingen had to tell everyone a method that was not a way: "The news I got from a friend, that Zhang Zongchang loves money and power. ”

"He killed the workers of Qingdao with his left hand, and extorted 100,000 oceans from the Japanese factory owner with his right hand. ”

"Our editor-in-chief has been arrested, as long as we preserve our strength, don't clash with Zhang Zongchang, and as long as we take out the money, I think we can redeem people. ”

"Also, don't you wonder why he suddenly ordered us to be arrested?"

Colleagues who have always been honest at work sat in this office and shook their heads in unison, waiting for Deng Mingen, who was connected everywhere, to give everyone an answer.

"The reporters who ran in the field couldn't get out of the city, they didn't know, and those people who came in from outside the city to do business gave me a message, saying that Zheng Jinsheng's troops outside Qingcheng had signs of pulling out the camp. ”

"It is strange that he is not the operation of the whole army, but a small part of it, moving towards the outskirts of Qingcheng. ”

"I estimate that Zhang Zongchang has taken over Qingcheng, and his power has grown a lot. ”

Zheng Jinsheng, who was the same name as him, couldn't sit still, and probably wanted to enter the city to negotiate with Zhang Zongchang. ”

"You said that Zhang Zongchang, who does not play cards according to common sense, in order to reflect his control over Qingcheng, can he allow Qingcheng's newspaper to write such truth?"

"Even if it's only for a few days, he has to show those foreign warlords who are about to enter Qingcheng that the land he occupies is impregnable. ”

"It's bound to be of great benefit to his negotiations. ”

"I just don't know how long it will be before they meet. ”

"I guess our editor-in-chief won't be released from prison until after their meeting with the warlords at the earliest. ”

"As for whether safety can be guaranteed, I'm also scared of it. ”

Anyone who can be the editor-in-chief of a newspaper has hard stubble.

If you would rather die for the sake of arrogance...... I'm afraid that by the time they prepare the money, even if they have the intention to rescue them, they will be able to fish out a corpse in the end.

So all they have to do now is raise the money as quickly as possible.

And find the boss behind the local small newspaper and ask him to negotiate with Zhang Zongchang as the representative of the newspaper.

Now is not the time to care about reputation, as the so-called appointment is greater than the sky.

Nothing is more important than the lives of their respective editors-in-chief.

As for why the bosses of these tabloids were allowed to come forward.

Because the main purpose of these tabloid members is to make money, the main purpose of running the newspaper is to make money.

In this kind of situation, they are more slippery than those literati who are born out of their hearts.

As long as there is an opportunity for discussion and negotiation, the other side will not do anything out of righteous indignation.

Through their hands, Zhang Zongchang's department will not be too suspicious of any conspiracy on his side.

Thinking of this, Deng Mingen told his colleagues his thoughts.

After getting an affirmative answer from everyone, he first had a phone call with the deputy editor-in-chief of the Jiaodong Times.

After getting the editor-in-chief of the other party was really arrested, he put his thoughts in front of the other party.

After obtaining the rescue power with the permission of the other party, he immediately began to handle the following things.

First, after talking on the phone with the boss of the few lace tabloids and explaining the situation to the other party, he asked the behind-the-scenes investor of the most famous Qingcheng Sun newspaper in Qingcheng, who is also the boss of the Qingcheng Kaidemen Hotel and Nightclub, to get in touch with the logistics adjutant of Zhang Zongchang's department.

Let the other party, as the representative of Qingcheng Newspaper, inquire clearly about the conditions for the redemption and release of the editors-in-chief of each family.

And he is to unite the strength of everyone to raise money for the group.

Strive to hand over the money as soon as possible after getting the ransom price.

Let your editor-in-chief suffer less.

According to Deng Mingen's line of thinking, everyone's action is very fast.

Boss Li, who opened a nightclub, really has some black and white connections.

In the three days since Zhang Zongchang's troops entered the city, they had already made initial contact with the commanders of certain departments in the opposing army.

As a tycoon in the entertainment industry in Qingcheng, most of the people he hooked up with were the more lascivious officers in Zhang Zongchang's department.

The bottom line of this kind of officer is low, as long as there is money and women, everything is easy to do.

No, Boss Li got the help of these colleagues, it was a chivalrous heart, and those literati who usually looked down on him actually had something to ask him for.

He Li Yishan doesn't show some ability, how can he show his ability.

And the chief friend of Zhang Zongchang's department who answered his call really didn't cover it.

After only half a day's work, I asked him about the price.

"The editor-in-chief of a big newspaper is worth 2,000 yuan, and after he is released, he has a point in his heart about what he can write and what he can't write. ”

"If our Overseers find out that there is an article in the newspaper that instigates the people, your editor-in-chief will be immediately whipped in prison again. ”

"At that time, it will not be as gentle as it is now, not to mention the great punishment, and the price of this ransom will be doubled. ”

"As for the editors of those small newspapers, 200 oceans per person. ”

"We Overseers say that when we write about his lace news, we praise him for being a man, and when we write about his extravagance, we praise him for being rich. ”

"But if you dare to say that he is not good to the people of Qingcheng and dare to question his ruling phalanx? ”

"Those who are glamorous and prodigal are not literati, even if they cut off their heads, no one will say anything strange about him. ”

"Now those tabloid editors are as honest as their third grandson in prison. ”

"It's only you cultured people who can't see the situation clearly, and you are scolding. ”

"Hey, I said Lao Li, if you want to redeem people, hurry up!"

"I'll tell you the news, it's only three days, and when these three days come, that old guy Zheng Jinsheng will enter the city. ”

"If those editors-in-chief are still in prison, it is impossible to say whether they live or die. ”

"In order to show off in front of the Zheng family, we overseers, but no one's face will be sold. ”

Boss Li, who heard this, said yes again and again, saying that he had reserved a VIP seat for him in the nightclub, and then hung up the phone when he turned his head.

This Boss Li is also a figure on the road, but he will not abandon the editor of his tabloid for 200 yuan.

He was just worried that the literati of the big newspapers who relied on the pen to eat would have some difficulty in gathering these 2,000 oceans.

Thinking about it again, the monthly salary of these literati is not low, and being a professor in that university alone can cost dozens of dollars a month.

Not to mention the articles they published in the newspaper, listening to the courtesans who sang in the finale of their nightclub, a good poet she fell in love with, at most, more than 80 yuan in a month.

There are so many of them, it shouldn't be a problem to get together 2,000 yuan.

Boss Li thought about it in the end.

When Deng Mingen put down the phone, he saw a room full of people smiling bitterly.

It is said that literati professors earn a lot, but it also depends on whether they are writers or not.

Most of the people in this room are ordinary editors, who is not dragging their families?

Deng Mingen didn't drag him down, but most of his money was spent on the union.

Whoever has three disasters and five tribulations, this Deng Mingen has to donate.

On weekdays, I am used to spending a lot of money, where do I get the deposit.

After hanging up the phone for a day, even the family members of the editor-in-chief's family took out the money at the bottom of the box, and they only raised half of it.

When I contacted the editors of several serious newspapers on the other side, I found that everyone was in a similar situation.

It was only at this time that Deng Mingen's literati groups really became nervous.

If you ask them to talk to their students, they can't do it.

But if you borrow money from your friends, I'm afraid it's not easy for them to bow their heads.

In such an embarrassing situation, Deng Mingen had a flash of inspiration.

Shao Nianshi told him when he left that if he didn't take advantage of the money, he would go to the director of the Dahua Textile Factory in the southern suburbs.

Thousands of yuan for an editor-in-chief, this money is not much for Shao Nianshi.

He is willing to donate even ordinary workers, and he will definitely help when the editor-in-chief is arrested.

And when Deng Mingen called again, Shao Nian, who was waiting for news from Qingcheng at the first house, naturally gave him a positive answer very happily.

However, an hour later, a box of ransom was sent to their newspaper office by the accountant of the Dahua Textile Factory.

The thick-eyed employee also said that Qingcheng is now an eventful time.

Deng Mingen and their director Shao are good friends, if there is something to do, you can go directly to the factory.

Dahua Textile Factory, in which Zhang Huaizhi has a stake, can always make Zhang Zongchang scruple about three points.

Hearing the other party say this, Deng Mingen was grateful.

On the day of repaying the money as soon as possible, he carried the box, called the heads of several other families, and went to the provisional government where Zhang Zongchang's ministry was located to ransom people.

With Neiying's help, Boss Li took the lead again, and when they saw that the messenger at the gate of the prison had sent the person back with all the beards and tails, everyone was relieved.

It's just that those editors-in-chief are really embarrassed to see it, and after they get out of the gate, they are still quite dissatisfied with the scolding.

After hearing that if they dared to make trouble, they would attack them like last time, and they didn't care about the threat of ordinary people's lives or deaths, these editors-in-chief who had seen the storm were silent for a while.

Probably hit by the rudeness of absolute power, they were full of anger but had nowhere to vent, and several editors-in-chief, who were already young, fell ill one after another after coming out of prison.

It's just that when I'm on the sickbed, my mind is extremely clear.

They persuaded the people around them who still had some ideals and righteousness to pay close attention to the military talks in Qingcheng.

If Zhang Zongchang takes command of the Shandong army after this meeting, he will let his editors think clearly before coming to work in the newspaper.

As for the leading editors-in-chief, I am afraid that they are not suitable for this kind of literati environment in Qingcheng.

As soon as the news of Zhang Zongchang's ascension to power is released, they are afraid that they will have to go south or north to find another way to make a living.

After all, a place that cannot happen on its own is unbearable for those of them who are arrogant.

It was also under this kind of close attention from all walks of life that Zheng Jinsheng finally gathered all the warlords in Shandong outside Qingcheng, gathered in one place, and marched towards Qingcheng City with their respective cronies.

This day was the last day agreed between Zhang Zongchang and Zheng Jinsheng.

Just in case, Zhang Zongchang only let the top commander of each team and his personal guard team enter this Qingcheng.

As for the old fox like Zheng Jinsheng, he let his son Zheng Jicheng stay in the army outside the city.

If the situation in the city changes, he can also lead his cronies to flee Shandong.

However, according to Zheng Jinsheng's inference, Zhang Zongchang dared to attack the workers, but he did not dare to do anything to them.

This dog meat general has always watched people put food on the plate.

It was only when Zheng Jinsheng came to this meeting that he suddenly realized that Zhang Zongchang was different from what he thought.

Zhang Zongchang, who let him be a stirrup when he was powerless, was once more powerful than anyone else.

"What kind of thing are you, dare to divide two rules with a provincial overseer?"

"Don't think that you dare to yell at me by relying on the northern government, you go and ask Zhang Zuolin, who is flattering to you, can he save you now?"

In this room, there were no less than ten warlord leaders from all walks of life, and Zhang Zongchang was ruthless when he said that he was angry.

Everyone thought that he was just scolding Zheng Jinsheng, but no one expected that the big-bellied man would take out a pistol directly from his waist and shoot Zheng Jinsheng several times in the chest.

Its blood was directly splashed on the bodies of Hatsuyama and the others who were sitting on Zheng Jinsheng's left and right.

Zheng Jinsheng, whose eyes widened and lost his breath in an instant, still had an unbelievable expression on his face before he died.

"You!Zhang Dujun!How dare you!!"

It's a big shame in the world!

Who will dare to come to Zhang Zongchang's appointment in the future?

Is he crazy?

Dare to go against the warlords of Shandong?

Or is it ???

Hatsuyama's pupils instantly widened, and he looked at the positions of the guards outside the conference room, as well as the guards they brought over, who were instantly surrounded by Zhang Zongchang's soldiers...... An indescribable warning suddenly jumped in his heart.

He Zhang Zongchang is not crazy, he is using this opportunity to demonstrate in a dignified manner, and by the way, he will simply eradicate dissidents.

If all the people in their room are killed, won't this Shandong be a monopoly?
