The editor-in-chief and the newspaper owner were excited when they heard the news, and they were of course happy that they could make a comeback. "Le "Wen" novel is always better than bloodless.

'Really? I don't think it's easy for you, since you dare to publish such an article, your background must be very strong. ’

Wu Fan shook his head, "I just want to win freedom of speech for the people." ’

After three days, the cell door was opened.

You can go, go out for a while, be honest, and come back next time it's not as simple as a few days." ’

A policeman shouted at them.

Wu Fan walked out of the cell with his head held high.

Wu Fan knew that he would definitely come out, because according to the judicial system of the Great Song Dynasty, he would be punished for a few days at most for the crime of seeking trouble.

Of course, Li Yibai enacted a lot of laws in order to maintain his rule. For example, the Great Song Security Law. The Great Song Dynasty Security Law stipulated that it was forbidden to slander leaders and slander the emperor.

Although Wu Fan was arrested by the police controlled by Li Yibai, they were also arrested by the procuratorate on charges of defaming the leader.

That is to say, Li Yibai's arrest still relies on legal means.

Of course, legal means are only a reason, because he appointed the enactment of this law and the prosecutor of the prosecutor's office. Although it is said to be judicial, none of these people do things without looking at Li Yibai's eyes.

After all, Li Yibai has the power to appoint and dismiss him.

That is, under the framework of justice, these Wu Fan still have a certain degree of personal freedom. He can also call on a defence lawyer to defend himself.

His conviction is still subject to the courts.

Moreover, there are laws that have provisions that guarantee the freedom of the individual. These Wu Fan can be used to protect themselves.

But he knew that these protections were all weak, because the law was written by Li Yibai. He can also modify it at any time. At the end of the day, he needs to take the law back into the hands of the people.

'We want not only freedom of speech, but also the power to make laws. The current laws are all decided by Li Yibai's cabinet, and although there is a legislative yuan, the legislative yuan hardly legislates. It's just a trivial law such as amending some environmental protection laws.

And the Constitution and criminal law. These big laws are in the hands of Li Yibai.

What we need is a constitutional amendment.

We must ensure that the Constitution guarantees our personal security.

You can't decide a person's life and death just because of Li Yibai's words. ’

Wu Fan sat in a tavern, and across from him sat the editor-in-chief and the newspaper owner.

The editor-in-chief took a sip of wine and said nervously, "Brother Wu, you still have to continue to do it, right?" It's too dangerous. I advise you to stop it. ’

The newspaper owner also sighed and said, 'Hey, Brother Wu. Fighting with those in power, we are hitting a stone with an egg. ’

Wu Fan said lightly. 'We are at ease in doing things for the people. If the crux of the Great Song Dynasty is not cut off now, it will become more and more serious in the future, and finally he will die of illness. But it's too late.

And it's not inflexible. I'm going to take a stake in another newspaper. We're still writing some marginal articles. I believe that the people will be inspired, which is better than giving up. ’

As he spoke, Wu Fan took out a huge check.

'What are you doing?' ’

During Wu Fan's chat. On a table in the distance, two men in black grabbed a weak student-looking man. The students kept shouting.

I saw that two men in black pressed the student's head on the table, and the other handcuffed him.

'Don't move, we're Secret Service people. ’

'Secret Service. The people around me were terrified.

The Secret Service Bureau is Li Yibai's spy organization, specializing in arresting civil opposition. As long as someone dares to speak out against Li Yibai's government, they will immediately arrest that person and send him to a secret prison.

Then the man disappeared without a trace. No one knows where he is being held. Dead or alive.

The Secret Service often disguised themselves as ordinary people and hid among the people. Anyone who makes counter-revolutionary remarks will be arrested immediately.

Therefore, the people are sincerely afraid when they chat in private. I was worried that I would say the wrong thing and be arrested.

After the Secret Service escorted the students.

The editor-in-chief and the newspaper owner were all sweating in fright, "Brother Wu, I think it's better to forget about this matter." You can find someone else. Here we go. ’

said that the two of them left in a hurry, worried that when Wu Fan was arrested again in the future, they would implicate themselves, so they made a split early.

Wu Fan walked out of the tavern alone, and there were people coming and going. Although the capital was in a state of white terror under Li Yibai, this did not stop his determination to carry out social activities.

A month later, he found a student named Liu Hezhen from Dasong University. Liu Hezhen is a progressive student. But in the eyes of Li Yibai's government, she was a reactionary.

Of course, different positions lead to different points of view.

Of course, at this time, Liu Hezhen was not exposed to the surveillance of Li Yibai's government. She is still a good student. A good girl in her twenties.

She is gentle and always has a friendly smile on her face.

No one would have thought that she was a revolutionary who looked at death as if she were home.

Sometimes people who stick to their ideals are the most beautiful. Usually her classmates misunderstood her. She felt that the world was dark.

Everybody's in a mess. Shouldn't we make a difference in the world?

So she read progressive books and talked to some of the progressives.

At this time, there was already a very famous progressive named Lu Shi in the capital. He is a professor at Jingcheng University.

He also often gives classes outside of class to teach some progressive ideas. Liu Hezhen must arrive at his class every time, rain or shine.

Mr. Lu Shi publishes a progressive magazine, which she also subscribes to all year round, which is also extremely rare among his very small readers.

She left a deep impression on Lu Zhi.

Of course, for this reason, she also got the opportunity to participate in Mr. Lu Shi's literary salon.

It is said to be a literary salon, but in fact, it is more about the topic of social reform.

In the literary salon, there is the resolute and upright Mr. Tan, and the unyielding Ms. Lin.

Mr. Tan is a government official, although he is only a petty official in charge of culture, but his understanding of progressive concepts even surprised Liu Hezhen.

Ms. Lin was even more surprising to Liu Hezhen, and when asked, Ms. Lin was only two years older than Liu Hezhen, but her courage was many times greater. She dared to protest in the streets, and she was arrested many times. She organizes student clubs at school, criticizes the school, and thinks she is doing democratic activities.

For this reason, she was placed on probation three times, so that she has not yet graduated, and it is said that if it were not for her uncle who would be the director of the school. She had already been expelled from school.

As much as possible, her family was full of people who were deeply favored by Li Yibai's government, but no one could have imagined that she was a rebel who supported progressive activities.

She never thought she was rebellious. She's just saying she's doing the right thing.

Just the right thing. What a simple answer. Liu Hezhen admired her for this.

Because the two were like-minded, they became good sisters as soon as they met.

Lu Shi said, "Today's Li Yibai government is obviously clinging to power and does not want to return the government to the people. Although they have repeatedly claimed that democracy will bring chaos, they say that the wisdom of the people is not open.

I think they are worried about democracy, and their economic oligarchic interests are gone.

Now those businessmen who were attached to Li Yibai in the early days are all fat and oily. The shares in the state-owned monopolies are all occupied by those people. ’

Mr. Tan said, 'That's right. Now Li Yibai has also dealt a big blow to freedom of speech. The current atmosphere of speech is worse than before the reform of the Great Song Dynasty. At that time, it was still the era of imperial power, but as long as we didn't scold the emperor, we could still say anything. But now, you can't say anything different.

Li Yibai is now perverse, although he was the one who promoted the reform of the Great Song Dynasty and knew the benefits of the reform.

But when a person is in power, he will become accustomed to killing and plundering, and will not respect the people. Disrespecting the people will inevitably lead to arrogance and doing whatever they want. This nature is accustomed, and no one restricts him. It is impossible to rely on him for self-discipline.

He will only be like a tyrannical emperor, and his treatment of the people will only get worse and worse.

At the end of the day, we must first grasp the power of free speech, and then develop the power to oversee the government. We can supervise Li Yibai and limit his power. Only in this way can we truly achieve the purpose of reform. ’

Liu Hezhen said, "Mr. Tan is right. Now everyone is afraid of the government. It's not that the government is afraid of the people. In this way, all voices are on the same page.

And if people want to think, they must have freedom of speech. Now I don't dare to speak casually in private, and in the long run, won't the people of the Great Song Dynasty even become a problem with communication.

And the only people who dared to speak casually were Li Yibai and the emperor. ’

Lu Shi said, "Speaking of the emperor, I think we can unite the emperor to improve Li Yibai. In the final analysis, the emperor still has a certain amount of influence. ’

Mr. Tan said, 'That's right. The emperor also has the original royal nobles. These people also hold certain positions in Li Yibai's government.

First of all, we can unite with the emperor to strive for a certain atmosphere of public opinion. This gives us a power to at least criticize the government.

By the way, Mr. Lu is very knowledgeable, and the emperor is very interested in you. The emperor has always liked people with literary talents. I'd like to introduce you to it. When you see the emperor, you mention the needs of the people to the emperor. Let him push Li Yibai to release the control of speech. ’

Lu Zhi said, "The emperor should support us." But the emperor now has no power, only respect. I don't think it's going to happen all at once.

Li Yibai is not so easy to change.

But it's worth doing.

Especially when our people have been caught. Don't forget, the emperor has the right to pardon. At that time, we put pressure on Li Yibai's government through the emperor, and Li Yibai should release him. (To be continued.) (。 ))
