Ge Yunfei and his wife met Feng Guozhang at the Wuhan dock and then boarded a river gunboat. The gunboat slowly left the dock and went down the river. Ge Yunfei and his wife stood on the bow of the boat, looking at the beautiful scenery on both sides of the strait, and they were in a particularly happy mood. "Early in the morning, I bid farewell to the White Emperor City, which is high in the sky, and Jiangling is thousands of miles away in just one day. The sound of apes on both sides of the strait is still crying, and the light boat has passed the green mountains! ”

Wen Qing was a little disgusted and said: "You have translated Li Bai's poems into vernacular." If Li Bai knows underground, I'm afraid he will be angry with you. "Isn't it advocating vernacular now, what's wrong with that?" "You are not wrong in explaining, but the meaning of Li Bai's poems is more profound, and if you say it directly, you will lose your artistic conception." "Wen Qing, I didn't expect you to be familiar with poetry!" "I've been in a private school for a few years, so I naturally know a few of them." "I remember a poem called Just Like a River Flowing Eastward, but I don't remember the whole poem?"

Wen Qing chanted with a smile: "When is the spring flower and autumn moon?" How much do you know about the past? Xiaolou had another east wind last night, so the country could not afford to look back at the moonlight. The carved fence and jade masonry should still be there, but the face has changed. Ask you how much sorrow you can have, just like a river of spring water flowing eastward. "Madame really has a background, which greatly exceeded my expectations." "How do you know my hardships, when I was alone in the empty room, it was these poems that accompanied me through every silent long night." Speaking of this, Wen Qing's face showed a trace of sadness.

"Wen Qing, I am touched by your perseverance, maybe it is the favor of God, maybe it is your perseverance. There is a good saying, how can you see a rainbow without experiencing wind and rain. Wen Qing looked at her husband with a smile on his face, and gently grabbed his husband's arm with her arm, revealing a state of intimacy. Seeing this, the guards in the back hurriedly turned around. In order to fulfill his wife's wishes, Ge Yunfei decided to go ashore in Nanjing and take a carriage to Shanghai.

After two days in Nanjing, Ge Yunfei asked the guards to hire a carriage, intending to let Wenqing relive the simple feeling. The carriage traveled slowly on the dirt road in the countryside, and when it encountered a place with particularly beautiful scenery, Wen Qing got off the car and left precious photos. A beautiful village appeared in front, with dense shade reflecting white walls and gray tiles, a typical Jiangnan water town style. Wen Qing lifted the curtain and watched. "Yunfei, let's take a rest in the village, the scenery of the water town is very chic and beautiful."

"Madam, if you want you to be happy, you can do it!" From a distance, a group of people gathered in the pond on one side, as if some ceremony was being held. Due to the distance and the lack of clarity, Ge Yunfei took out the telescope and handed it to Wen Qing. Suddenly, Wen Qing exclaimed, "Yunfei, you see there is a cage on the edge of the pond, and there seems to be someone in it." Ge Yunfei took the binoculars to check his face and said: "There is really someone in the cage, this is to sink the pond, go to the pond immediately." ”

The two guards jumped out of the caravan and headed straight for the pond. When the caravan arrived at the pond, Ge Yunfei and his wife Wenqing got out of the car and saw a group of men and women who were numb to each other, and a woman with a cloak tied in a bamboo cage. Her hair covered the woman's face, making it difficult to see her face. At this time, an old man with a gray beard said: "This guest officer, my clan is implementing the clan law, please forgive me." The old man stretched out his hand and gave the order to evict the guest. Behind the old man, several juniors stepped forward, and four guards drew their pistols to block the front.

Seeing that the visitor had a gun, everyone's faces changed in fright. "Go down!" Ge Yunfei shouted back from the guards and said, "Uncle, my life is at stake, I want to know what crime this woman has committed?" The old man knew that the comer was not good and said: "Guest officer, this woman is a widow of her own clan, and she is a private person of the outsider**, according to the rules of her clan, this kind of shameless person must be severely punished to set an example." Presumably, there must be objective people with status, but this is a matter of the clan, please don't interfere with the guest officer. ”

"Uncle, the government of the Republic of China has promulgated a law that widows can freely choose to remarry according to their own wishes, what is the crime of reckless human life?" As soon as Ge Yunfei's words fell, two guards stepped forward, and one of the guards reached out and grabbed the bamboo cage, and it seemed that without much effort, he tore the bamboo cage, which shows that his martial arts are strong. Another guard untied and helped the woman out. The old man's face turned pale and said, "May I ask what is the origin of the guest officer, why is he meddling?" "You don't have the right to know our identity, release us immediately." One of the guards scolded.

Wen Qing stepped forward to support the woman and comforted her, and Ge Yunfei said to a guard: "You stay for the time being and deal with this matter!" "Subordinates obey orders!" Ge Yunfei continued: "Uncle, now that it is the Republic of China, the shackles of traditional decay must be removed. This woman has lost her husband, and it is difficult to be widowed. What kind of tradition is it that a man can marry several wives, and a woman should start from the beginning? Uncle, I suggest that your clan rules should be changed, if such an incident happens again, as the patriarch, it is difficult to blame and must be severely punished. ”

Soon, Wen Qing changed his clothes to the woman and told her to boldly pursue her happiness. The woman knelt down and bowed away, and the caravan continued on the road, Wenqing's mood was extremely bad, and the interest in playing was gone. A few hours later, the guard rode up. "How's it going?" "The police came from a nearby town and I left the matter to them, and a police chief assured that such incidents would never happen again in the future. I didn't reveal your identity, I just showed them my papers. ”

At this time, at the Changzhou Police Station, the director was surprised when he received a report from his subordinates: "A middle-aged couple in casual clothes, with guards with guns, and ID cards are from the army headquarters, which seems to be not small." They were coming east, and they must have passed through Changzhou. Immediately sent someone to conduct a secret investigation on the official road, and immediately reported the caravan when it was found. A few hours later, his subordinates reported that they had found the caravan and had entered Changzhou. The police chief, a demobilized officer who lost an arm during the war, came to Changzhou at the beginning of the year to serve as police chief.

When the director heard this, he immediately changed into civilian clothes and did not bring his entourage. After the caravan entered Changzhou, Ge Yunfei got out of the car with his wife Wenqing, looking at the bustling street Wenqing's bad mood gradually improved. Changzhou has a history of 3,200 years as a city, and the antique charm is very strong. Changzhou is the birthplace of the Yangtze River civilization and Wu culture, the hometown of Qi Liang of the Southern Dynasty, and has the reputation of "Zhongwu to shop". With Ge Yunfei's eloquent words, Wen Qing's face showed a long-lost smile.

Firecrackers sounded ahead, and the two ladies were curious to visit. A shop is about to open, and there is a crowd of people in front of it. The shop is very large, and the plaque reads Dahua decorative porcelain bronzing font. "Yunfei, Chen Shouting has brought all the porcelain decoration materials to Changzhou." At present, Chen Shouting has four porcelain kilns in Jingdezhen, mainly producing porcelain decorative materials. The new varieties of tiles and floor tiles they have developed are very popular. The generation of Jiangsu and Zhejiang is rich and in great demand. As far as I know, major cities in Jiangsu and Zhejiang have opened up sales channels. ”

As soon as Ge Yunfei's words fell, a man with a missing arm came to the front and whispered, "My subordinates meet General Ge?" "You are?" "General Hui, his subordinate is a battalion commander of the First Army of the former Shandong Independent Column, and he has participated in Shandong defensive operations. Due to disability and demobilization, his subordinate is the chief of the Changzhou Police Department. The Taocun Shentang incident was stopped by the general, and his subordinates did not supervise effectively, so he asked the general for his guilt. "You are not to blame for this, there is no need to blame yourself." "General Ge, my subordinates know that the general is visiting secretly, so they don't dare to make a mistake."

"Since you're my subordinate, how about asking for a glass of water and wine?" "The subordinates can't ask for it, the general please!" Soon, the police commander led Ge Yunfei and his wife to a famous restaurant in Changzhou. During the banquet, Ge Yunfei said: "What happened in Taocun is not accidental, and such incidents may still be happening. You immediately reported to the Nanjing Police Station, demanding that all localities strictly enforce the laws of the Republic of China, and that all those who ignore the law as child's play will be severely punished and not tolerated. ”

"Chief, do you report to the General Administration to reveal your identity?" "Yes, but only the Director." "My subordinates understand!" "In addition, my activities in Changzhou are not allowed to be controlled by the police!" "Subordinates obey!" After eating, Ge Yunfei and his wife continued to stroll through the streets, and Wen Qing said: "The policeman's nose is sensitive enough, but this bureau chief is very good at handling things, and he didn't alarm more people!" "Born in the military, after the test of life and death, there is not so much sophistication. At present, many demobilized officers and soldiers have become police officers, and the atmosphere has also changed. ”

Ge Yunfei continued: "This matter touched me, it is imperative to reform and get rid of the old, although the government of the Republic of China has promulgated laws, but it has not been implemented. It seems that the head of the Central Police Department is incompetent. "This kind of thing should be in charge of the president, and you want to offend people!" Wen Qing was disgusted. "Wenqing, the war has just ended, and many stubborn diseases must be cut through the chaos quickly. In the future, the rights are intertwined, and it is too difficult to sort them out. I don't want to leave regrets, even if I use coercive means to clear the stubborn diseases of officialdom. ”

"I heard that Shan Feng set up an internal investigation bureau, could it be that this is to deal with these officials?" "The word of supervision is more accurate, and prevention is better than prevention, and it is necessary to be prepared. It is necessary to have an earthquake in the officialdom, and those who are black sheep, indiscriminate, inactive, and corrupt will all be removed from their posts and investigated. Ge Yunfei asked Shan Feng to set up secret intelligence stations all over the country, and simply changed his functions and became a sharp sword for supervising officialdom.

Ge Yunfei knew that to curb corruption in officialdom and rely on persuasion and education, it was pure nonsense, and it was necessary to let the sword of Damos hang high above their heads to be effective. In addition, to curb corruption in officialdom, it is not advisable to be punished by death, and it is better to live and live than to die, Ge Yunfei has a careful plan in his heart.
