On May 9, Yuan Shikai reviewed the Chinese statement written by Gu Weijun in the presidential office, signed his name on it, and Lu Zhengxiang personally sent it to the Japanese embassy. A week later, in the name of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, he released another statement written by Gu Weijun, completely explaining to the outside world the beginning and end of the Sino-Japanese negotiations.

Large-scale strikes and demonstrations spread from Beijing to the provinces, and the safety of Lu Zhengxiang and other members of the negotiating team was once again threatened.

He was so caught up in it that he had no time to think about anything else. Even Xie Daoyong was difficult to contact him, but Xie Wanxian was shrewd and went to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to find someone.

She didn't go alone, she also brought a friend, so that Xie Huaichang stood up in surprise when he saw that friend: "Yunru?"

"Yunru?" Xie Wanxian repeated, "You already know each other?"

Wei Yunru's face turned red, and she shyly turned her face aside and stopped talking, but Xie Huaichang came to relieve the siege: "I took her for you during the demonstration, and asked her to help find you." ”

Xie Wanxian suddenly realized, and glanced at Xie Huaichang with a mocking look: "No wonder Sister Yunru said that I felt very close when I saw me." ”

Wei Yunru pretended to be calm, and turned his face back: "Mr. Xie said that he wanted to invite me to dinner and discuss the issue of the march with me, was he talking casually?"

"Ah" Xie Huaichang clenched his fist and knocked it on his forehead, "I'm really busy with official business, and I can't spare time." ”

Wei Yunru looked around at his office: "You are not from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, why do you work in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs?"

"I am a military officer," Xie Huaichang said, "During the special period, I am responsible for protecting the safety of Chief Lu." ”

Wei Yun was taken aback: "No wonder you can recommend me to Chief Lu"

Xie Huaichang had no intention of letting private matters occupy his working time, so he asked Xie Wanxian: "You came to the ministry to find me, is there anything urgent?"

"Ah, yes!" Xie Wanxian remembered the serious appearance at this time, and hurriedly said, "Brother, some of Yunru's classmates went to the parliament building to demonstrate and were arrested by the police!

Xie Huaichang's brows furrowed: "How could he be arrested by the police?"

"When we heard that the 21st Article was going to be signed, a few radical students organized a demonstration, and I don't know exactly what was going on. ”

Xie Wanxian helped on the side: "Brother, the only person we can find is you, all the students who participated in the parade will not deliberately cause trouble." ”

Yuan Shikai once instructed the newspaper to release the 21 Articles, which was intended to arouse anti-Japanese sentiment among the people, and the student march should also be in his plan, and it has to be said that the march and strike did win some benefits for the negotiations, but now that the negotiations are over, the diplomatic contest is over, and the demonstration is no longer threatening the Japanese embassy, but the government of the Republic of China.

Xie Huaichang had some friendship with the police department, so he immediately dialed the phone in the office: "Lao He, I heard that you arrested a few students who marched, what's going on?"

"What's going on?" said the person on the other end of the phone, "It's just an order from the head to grab a few random people to scare and scare, or the students will kick their noses in the face, and the trouble will be endless." ”

Xie Huaichang frowned and said, "How many people have been arrested?"

Lao He sighed: "Why are you so concerned, didn't I take care of it and arrested your concubine?"

The voice in the microphone couldn't be heard by the two girls, but fortunately the two girls couldn't hear it, Xie Huaichang coughed and said seriously: "My sister may be inside!"

Lao He was taken aback: "No, I'll ask, what's your sister's name?"

Xie Huaichang sighed: "You might as well release everyone and only let my sister go, so what do others think?"

"Sooner or later, it's just going to be closed for two days and give them a little bit of hardship, it's no problem to let your sister alone, but if you want to release everyone, I can't sell you this love." Lao He urged again, "Hurry up, what's your sister's name?" I'll go and ask, if I don't catch it, you can look elsewhere." ”

Xie Huaian sighed helplessly, found a piece of paper and wrote on it: Name?

Wei Yunru's brain turned quickly, and he immediately wrote a name, and Xie Huai'an read it out.

Lao He called a policeman into the office, gave him his name, and instructed: "Ask if there is this female student in the gang we arrested, and if so, bring her to me." ”

Xie Huai'an sighed in his heart, and hurriedly said: "If there is one, you can just let her go, tell her to go back to class quickly, and I will invite you to dinner in the evening." ”

Lao He didn't doubt it, and replied with a smile: "Okay, well, listen to you Xie Ershao, but you can also talk about your sister when you go back, just concentrate on studying, what is wrong with those people, why aren't you and your sister the same surname?"

Xie Huai'an said: "It's a cousin, it's quite distant, it's the niece of one of my uncles and mothers in the Outer Seven Mansions." ”

The Xie family has a big business in Zhenjiang, and the people are prosperous, and one of the seven mansions is taken out at random, and there are already a few people who are already stunned after only a few generations. After two sentences, the female student designated by Wei Yunru was brought, and Xie Huai'an heard Lao He greet her over there: "Why didn't you say earlier that you were Xie Ershao's sister? You see that this big water has washed the Dragon King Temple, don't be afraid, I'm on the phone with Ershao, do you want to come and say a few words to him?"

The female student looked dazed, but she didn't say anything to deny it, she just picked up the microphone and called out in a hesitant tone: "Second and second brother?"

Xie Huaichang handed the microphone to Wei Yunru, lip-synched and told her who the person on the other end of the phone was.

Wei Yunru lowered her voice and said into the microphone: "Qiawen, it's me, I'm Wei Yunru, I'm looking for Xie Ershao to help release you, you hurry back to school now, I have something to ask you, you make a show now, and ask the hall director to let you out." ”

Li Qiawen was very clever, and when she heard her say this, she immediately replied: "I know, I was wrong, brother, I'll go back to school." ”

She hung up the phone, and Lao He Shang was still nodding with satisfaction: "That's right, listen to your brother, isn't it better than anything else?" ”

Li Qiawen didn't know anything about Xie Huaichang, and she didn't even know who "Xie Ershao" was, she was afraid of revealing any flaws in the car, so she politely rejected him immediately.

Xie Huaichang once again warned Wei Yunru: "Don't participate in the march again, your current march will not only have no effect, but will also cause more trouble." ”

Wei Yunru looked straight at him: "But if we don't march, what can we do? The country is in trouble, we have no way to serve the country, we can only warn the authorities through the method of marching, Mr. Xie, you are a person who understands, looking at the authorities' actions today, do you think they have received a warning?"

Xie Huaichang was speechless for a long time when she asked, he didn't want to say some nonsense to fool Wei Yunru, seeing that she was asking seriously, he could only answer seriously: "You don't want the president to sign the 21st article?"

Wei Yunru asked him rhetorically: "Can't you see that the 21st Article is the heart of Japan and China?"

"You and I can see it, do you think the president can't see it?" Xie Huaichang knocked lightly on the table, "If he can't see it, why do he send people to negotiate?"

Wei Yunru was stunned: "Since the president can see it so clearly, why does he have to sign this agreement?"

"I have to sign it, because I have to sign it," Xie Huaichang looked into her eyes and sighed deeply, "Weak countries have no diplomacy, and today's treaty is the result of President Yuanda's entrustment to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to negotiate vigorously. ”

"Why can't we meet each other in arms?" Wei Yunru said, "If Japan's intention is really to destroy China, then sooner or later there will be this war." ”

"Then this battle should be sooner or later," Xie Huaichang said, "Yunru, I tell you about this because I believe in you, and you must not tell the second person." ”

Wei Yunru was calmed by his solemn look, and immediately solemnized: "I will never tell the second person." ”

Xie Wanxian suddenly interjected: "Then am I the second person?" ”

Xie Huaichang looked at her: "Ah Xian, listen to it too." The President once asked Army Chief Duan Qirui how long China could hold out with its current military strength if China and Japan went to war, and General Secretary Duan's reply was that after 48 hours, it would be up to the President's arrangement. ”

Xie Wanxian and Wei Yunru were both surprised, and immediately showed the look of the six gods without a master: "Is it only 48 hours?"

Xie Huaichang lowered his head and pressed his temple with his hand: "This is still brought out by President Yuan, and now you understand why you have to sign for the most sophisticated troops in our country?"

Wei Yunru was silent for a long time, and suddenly stood up: "I'm leaving, I'm going back to school." ”

She took two steps in a daze, and suddenly stopped: "I won't tell others, I know that this news can't be leaked." ”

Xie Huaichang stared into her eyes, and suddenly smiled: "I regarded you as my sister in the crowd that day, and when I went to pat you on the shoulder, I suddenly remembered, about five or six years ago, when the former Qing Dynasty was not destroyed, I once marched on the street for the constitution, and happened to meet my uncle returning home, and he found that I was giving a speech on a board car, and he was so angry that he immediately stepped forward and slapped me and dragged me back to the house." ”

He shook his head and smiled, and then raised his eyes to look at Xie Wanxian: "I didn't expect that in just a few years, it would become me to catch others from the parade." ”

"I didn't go to the march because I heard that they were going to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to demonstrate," Xie Wanxian said, "I know that my brother's desire to serve the country is no less than that of those students who marched, and I will not go to cause trouble for you."
