This time, Chen Dezheng played a lot, not only banned more than a dozen books, but also almost closed the "Novel Monthly". Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

"Novel Monthly" was invested by the Commercial Press, and in the end, thanks to the Commercial Press's intervention and various money-giving relationships, the "Novel Monthly" was retained.

Zhou Hexuan was so angry that he did not go to Chen Dezheng, but went straight to the official residence of the Shanghai Municipal Government.

As soon as he walked to the door of the building, a guard blocked Zhou Hexuan and asked, "What are you doing?" ”

Zhou Hexuan took out his business card and said, "I want to see the mayor!" ”

The guard sneered: "You can see you if you want, who are you?" ”

Zhou Hexuan held back the fire in his belly and said angrily: "Don't talk nonsense, you just hand my business card in!" ”

The guards glanced at Zhou Hexuan twice, and then looked down at the business card, but it turned out that the business card did not have any identity and position, only a bare name was printed. He was a little unsure, and said to his colleague guarding the door: "Help watch, I'll go and report." ”

A colleague came over to take a look, and immediately smiled: "You don't know Zhou Hexuan, he is a big celebrity." ”

"What celebrity?" The guard asked.

The colleague said: "The new underwear on your wife was invented by this Mr. Zhou." ”

The guard instantly became even more disdainful, threw the business card directly on the ground, and scolded: "Hurry up and get out, a person who sells underwear also wants to see the mayor, his brain is broken." ”

"You have a little respect in your mouth!" Sun Yonghao was a violent temper and immediately jumped out to protect him.

The guard sneered and said, "What's the matter? You still want to find fault! ”

"Yonghao, don't be like him," Zhou Hexuan took a few steps back, and suddenly opened his throat and shouted, "Zhang Qun, you come out for me!" ”

Zhang Qun was the mayor's name, and the guards were shocked, and hurriedly raised their guns to aim at Zhou Hexuan, and scolded: "Don't make loud noises!" ”

Zhou Hexuan sneered: "You should shoot and try, when I met Commander-in-Chief Chang last month, his attendants and military attachés were not as arrogant as you." Your Shanghai Municipal Government is powerful, from the doorman to the mayor, all of them are ancestors, and the mayor is harder to see than the commander-in-chief. ”

"You...... This gentleman, do you know Commander-in-Chief Chang? The guards were startled, and their voices trembled as they spoke.

"What do you say?" Zhou Hexuan stared at him deadly.

"I, I, I...... I'm going to report it! The guard stooped down and picked up the business card on the ground, and the girl rushed into the building.

He ran all the way upstairs, knocked on the door of the mayor's office desperately, and said quickly: "Mayor Zhang, there is a Mr. Zhou outside, he said that he wanted to see you, and he also said that he had met the commander-in-chief." ”

Zhang Qun frowned and took the business card, and then smiled: "A poor sour literati, what are you doing when you come to me?" Let him in. ”

The guard immediately went downstairs, his attitude changed 180 degrees, and he said flatteringly: "Mr. Zhou, the mayor is invited!" ”

Zhou Hexuan didn't bother to pay attention to him, and paced into the city hall, this guy was still shouting behind: "You go slowly, watch out for the stairs." ”

Zhang Qun belongs to the Kuomintang veteran and Chang Kaishen's classmate. Don't look at him as the mayor of Shanghai, but he is the head of the "New Political Science Department", an important political group of the Kuomintang.

The "New Political Science Department" was a mix of old-style bureaucrats and warlords, as well as new-school scholars and politicians, whose collective goal was to win over all parties and factions and strengthen the Chang Kaishen regime.

After Zhang Qun saw Zhou Hexuan, he stood up with a smile and said, "Mr. Zhou, please sit down, what's the important thing to find a contemptible person?" ”

Zhou Hexuan got straight to the point and said: "Mayor Zhang, my "Goddess", "Dog Official" and "Dog Official Biography" have been banned. I just want to ask you face to face, why are my works banned? ”

"Banned? I don't know. Zhang Qun said in surprise.

"It was banned by the Kuomintang Party Department in Shanghai," Zhou Hexuan said with an ugly smile, "Mayor Zhang, you are the person directly in charge of the Shanghai Party Department." Excuse me, even if my work has prohibited content, what right does the Shanghai Party Department of the Kuomintang have to seize the book? If you want to ban books, you can, go through the formal administrative procedures, and ban my books again after the ban is lifted. I'm not for myself, I'm for the legal system of the Republic of China! ”

As soon as he heard that the group of people in the party department did it, Zhang Qun immediately smiled and comforted: "Mr. Zhou, don't worry. If you have any objections, we can discuss them slowly, why bother to ask the teacher as soon as we meet? ”

Zhou Hexuan sat down and said, "I ask for the lifting of the ban on "The Goddess" and "Dog Official". ”

Zhang Qun was like a smiling Buddha, and said with a smile: "Mr. Zhou, I have read your "The Rise of a Great Power", and I admire it very much. But to be honest, books like "The Goddess" and "The Dog Official" really discredit the Chinese government and the people. Anyway, you've earned the manuscript fee you should have earned, so why bother with that. ”

Zhou Hexuan said fiercely: "You seized my book, what legal provision is it based on?" The Nanjing Nationalist Government has not even promulgated the "Publication Law", are you using the laws of the Beiyang Government to ban my works? In the end, this China is the world of the Beiyang government or the Nanjing Nationalist government. What do you want to do in Shanghai? Want to help the Beiyang warlords restore? ”

Zhang Qun was speechless for an instant, not knowing what to say.

At this time, the Nanjing Nationalist Government had not yet promulgated the Publication Law (promulgated at the end of 1930), and there was no legal basis for seizing books.

It's still a reader's neat mouth!

Zhang Qun sighed in his heart and quibbled: "Mr. Zhou, the seizure of books by the Shanghai Party Department is due to the requirements of the Kuomintang Party. Your book is suspected of being a major ban, so it was banned, and it has nothing to do with the "Publication Law", and you don't talk to me about the law. ”

Zhang Qun will never help Zhou Hexuan lift the ban, otherwise where is the majesty of the Shanghai Party Department?

Zhou Hexuan sneered and asked: "In other words, the Republic of China only needs the party, not the law?" ”

"It can be said that the party is the country, and the party is the law!" Zhang Qun replied unceremoniously.

"Very good, I understand, thank you Mayor Zhang for clarifying your doubts," Zhou Hexuan was very angry, hugged his fists, "Farewell!" ”

Even if the Beiyang government wants to close down books and newspapers, it will have to move out of the law as a façade.

This national government is so powerful that it can even say that "the party is the law." It is conceivable that those in power can do whatever they want, and there are no restrictions at all.

Zhou Hexuan returned to Xu Zhimo's house angrily and said to Lao Xu: "Shima, borrow your study for a while." ”

"You're writing again? Fiction or poetry? Xu Zhimo asked with a smile.

"Essays!"

Zhou Hexuan is really angry, even if he doesn't follow the law, he can bear it, and there is no law at all and he messes around, which has reached the point where it is unbearable.

Zhou Hexuan spread out the manuscript paper, Xu Zhimo lay on the side and watched, only to see Zhou Hexuan write five big characters - the spirit of the law.
