The next day, the office of the stationmaster of the Secret Bureau.

After listening to Gao Fei's report, Wang Fangxiong said: "You did the right thing in this matter, Xiao Jiang has now been promoted to lieutenant general, and the intention of the commission could not be more obvious, although there are still a lot of resistance, but we should not misestimate the situation...... It's important to choose a side! ”

Gao Fei: "I'm worried that Mr. Jianfeng doesn't know, and these things may be done by the people below......"

Wang Fangxiong waved his hand and said, "Forget it, whether he knows it or not, let's just treat it as if we don't know anything!" ”

Gao Fei: "Understood. ”

Gao Fei didn't have been away for a long time, "Ring ring!" The phone on the desk rang.

Wang Fangxiong reached out and picked up the phone: "Hey? ”

On the other end of the phone: "It's Stationmaster Wang, right?" I'm Xuan Tiewu. ”

"Oh, Commander Xuan, hello, hello."

"Stationmaster Wang, I won't say much about polite words, there is an emergency now, and you must send someone to deal with it!"

"Please."

"The workers of the Shenxin No. 9 Cotton Mill are dissatisfied with their salaries and are on strike, eight or nine thousand people, the momentum is huge, if this matter is not resolved as soon as possible, you and I will not be able to explain to the above."

"Commander Xuan, I personally think that this kind of thing cannot be compromised, and the army will be directly sent to suppress it!"

"Repression...... It was the last step that the workers demanded to negotiate with the government, and I had already let the police station pass. What do you mean to call, I suspect that there is a communist party in this who is secretly manipulating! ”

"It really doesn't make sense to say that there is no Communist Party stirring up in such a large-scale strike."

"My subordinates are all soldiers who are charging into battle, and investigating this kind of thing is the old business of the Secret Bureau, so I ask Stationmaster Wang to be responsible for catching the mastermind!"

"Okay, I'll send someone to investigate!"

"As soon as possible, the longer the time drags on, the greater the scope of influence, and the more unfavorable it will be for us!"

"I see."

Hanging up the phone, Wang Fangxiong immediately dialed the number of the intelligence department again: "I'm Wang Fangxiong, let Xu Zhengyong come to my office!" ”

After a while, Xu Zhengyong pushed the door and walked in.

Wang Fangxiong looked at him with a calm face and said, "What is your intelligence department doing!" Shenxin No. 9 Cotton Mill went on strike, you didn't hear anything about such a big thing? ”

Xu Zhengyong was stunned and said, "Strike? How is this possible? ”

Wang Fangxiong: "What else is impossible? Eight or nine thousand workers are banging on lunch boxes and shouting slogans! ”

Xu Zhengyong: "We have eyeliner in Shenjiu......"

Wang Fangxiong said coldly: "If you have eyeliner, you are also blind!" This kind of thing was actually notified by the Garrison Command to the Secret Bureau, as an intelligence department, how can there be face! ”

Xu Zhengyong took out a handkerchief to wipe the cold sweat on his forehead, and said: "Stationmaster, such a large-scale strike, it is actually impermeable, I think there must be a Communist Party in it!" ”

Wang Fangxiong: "I'll give you a day, you must find out about this matter!" ”

"Yes. I'll arrange it. Xu Zhengyong saw that Wang Fangxiong's face was not good-looking, so he didn't dare to say more, and turned around and withdrew.

There was a general strike of nearly 10,000 people, and there were all kinds of people around, and it was very difficult to hide their identity.

That night, Xu Zhengyong hurried to the stationmaster's room.

"Stationmaster, the matter has basically been clarified, and the Communist Party is indeed instigated by the Communist Party in this general strike! There are three people in the lead, Wang Guangming, He Lin, and Liu Quanfu! ”

"Are they all communists?"

"According to my information, the three of them are members of the so-called underground party group of the Shenjiu Cotton Mill, and Wang Guangming is the leader."

"As expected...... What's the situation like on site? ”

"The workers elected representatives, including Liu Quanfu, and they put forward seven conditions to negotiate with the factory."

"What are the conditions?"

"Salary increases, increased rest periods, improved accommodation, retroactive payment of unpaid wages...... The core condition is the requirement to double the salary. ”

"What does the factory say?"

Of course, the factory did not agree, and if these conditions were accepted, the factory would not have to be opened, and would simply close down. Oh, by the way, just now the garrison command sent a regiment of general troops, which has already surrounded Shen Jiu and cut them off from the outside world. ”

"Well, it's necessary, if they are connected with other factories, it will cause an even bigger wave of strikes!"

"Yes, yes, you're not bad at all."

"Shoot the man before the horse, capture the thief and capture the king first!" Secretly arrest those Communists at once! ”

"Stationmaster, I'm afraid it's a little inappropriate to arrest people now."

"What's wrong?"

"The Communist Party is guarding against us, Wang Guangming and the three of them hide inside and don't show up, and the workers are very orderly, just shouting slogans and even lining up for dinner, we arrest people for no reason, I am worried that it will arouse doubts from the outside world."

"Is there a reporter on the scene?"

""Declaration", "Wen Wei Po", "Ta Kung Pao", "China Times", these big newspapers in Shanghai are all here."

Wang Fangxiong walked around the house twice with his hands behind his back and asked, "What are your plans?" ”

Xu Zhengyong: "I'm going to send people into the factory, pretend to be workers, and find an opportunity to stir up trouble, so that we can use the excuse to stop the riots and arrest people justifiably!" ”

Wang Fangxiong pondered for a long time, nodded slowly, and said, "This method is good!" ”

"Then I'll arrange it."

"Wait!"

"What else do you command?"

"I am afraid it is not so easy to arrest people among the eight or nine thousand passionate workers......

"What do you mean? ……”

Wang Fangxiong's eyes suddenly became gloomy, and he said word by word: "In such a large-scale strike movement, once there is a riot, it is reasonable to kill a few people!" ”

Xu Zhengyong's eyes flashed, and he said understandingly: "Understood! ”

…………

Outside the door of Shenxin Ninth Cotton Textile Factory.

Thousands of military and police officers were on standby with live ammunition, and an armored vehicle blocked the gate of the factory, and on the roof stood a middle-aged police officer with a megaphone in his hand, shouting to the workers.

“…… Ladies and gentlemen, I am Yu Shutong, deputy director of the Shanghai Police Bureau, and I would like to advise you not to be deceived by bad people and resume production immediately......"

A voice in the factory shouted: "It's okay to resume production, but what about our conditions?" Can you give a reply? ”

"This, this condition can be slowly sat down and talked slowly, and a solution can always be found, you continue to make trouble like this, making people from all walks of life in Shanghai panic, this has violated the law of the country!"

"You don't come to this set! We violated the law of the country by protesting peacefully in our own factory? ”

Yu Shutong put down the megaphone in his hand and cursed in a low voice: "Sharp teeth and sharp mouth, what a group of Diao people!" ”

Xu Zhengyong walked up to the armored car and whispered to Yu Shutong: "Deputy Director Yu, please come down, there will be a good show soon!" ”
