Anqing, like other Chinese cities of its time, lacked buildings. The People's Party has built new-style residential areas in several major cities along the Yangtze River, which not only make full use of urban space and increase the capacity of urban residents, but also build urban water supply and water supply systems and power supply systems, which have greatly improved the quality of life of urban residents. If you don't have to deal with land ownership, that's a really good thing.

"These are really upside down! If it weren't for the people's party's blind connivance here, where would such a thing happen! The gentry expressed their discontent.

"Is there any shame in these women showing up outside?"

"A group of women living on their own, what is this thing? What kind of ethos is this?! ”

More complaints and accusations on specific issues are increasingly appearing in the CPPCC venues, from women's work to women's feet, from women's schooling to women's housing. Then there are female cadres, female armed police, and female police, and all the firepower is focused on the emancipation of women.

Chen Duxiu didn't want to get involved in this troubled water, and he also knew the virtues of this group of "masters", and he really faced a group of women who rushed over with brooms, their first reaction was definitely not to go head-on, but to turn around and run.

However, before Chen Duxiu's train of thought could unfold, he heard someone say loudly: "If you want me to say, Mr. Cai is not too wrong in western Zhejiang." Rules are rules. Just look at our Anqing, the western part of Zhejiang is about the same as our Anqing, no matter what? ”

This statement was immediately supported by a crowd. Of course, no one dares to say that killing is right. No one likes to kill, and the landlords, gentry, and the People's Party are the same in this regard. The landlords and gentry liked to intimidate others with murder, but if they really let them kill people, they would definitely fake their hands on others. The People's Party's sentencing of Cai Yuanpei with criminal law this time is blocking this road.

The People's Party does not take whether or not they are hands-on or not, but distinguishes between the principal offender and the accomplice, and the principal offender is sentenced to a heavier sentence, and the accomplice can get a commutation after exposing the criminal acts of his accomplices. This is a violation of the rules of the Manchu era. Although the Manchu Dynasty also talked about "killing people to pay for their lives", it was often not the mastermind who could pay for their lives, and those who actually killed people were often scapegoats. If the mastermind has a tough background, get a few unlucky ghosts to fill up the number and give an explanation.

However, the Great Trial of Western Zhejiang clearly told the people that whoever planned to kill would die to atone for his crimes. Of course, the Anqing gentry knew that the People's Party would do what it said, so they refused to defy the law. Needless to say, the attitude of these CPPCC guys is unprecedentedly unanimous, "I see that the news also makes it clear that many bad things are done by people below in the name of Mr. Cai." How can this put the blame on Mr. Cai's head? The People's Party also knew that Mr. Cai had not killed anyone with his own hands, so it relied on this to sentence Mr. Cai to death, which is indeed a great injustice. We should jointly write a letter to intercede for Mr. Cai! ”

A white-bearded CPPCC member said angrily: "Mr. Cai has been very kind to Chen Ke, if it wasn't for Mr. Cai's great help, how could anyone help Chen Ke when he arrived in Shanghai." I heard that Mr. Cai tried his best to lobby, and Yan Fu accepted Chen Ke as a disciple. Now that Chen Ke has gained power, he has poisoned Mr. Cai, which is ...... Is this still human? ”

This statement immediately received support from more people, what Chen Ke did was simply a deception of the teacher and the ancestor! In the eyes of the literati and gentry, this is really a major crime that must be punished by canonical punishment.

In the midst of the anger of the crowd, some people became uneasy, "Isn't that a little too much?" ”

Immediately, someone retorted angrily: "What are you afraid of? Freedom of speech! We will not oppose the government, and we will not publish hateful and inflammatory remarks. Is it illegal to say a few words on the basis of facts? What the People's Party has done, we can't say? ”

Immediately someone among the agitated gentry shouted in a louder voice: "Exactly! Doesn't their People's Party want to talk about the rule of law! Doesn't the constitution that is shouted every day also protect freedom of speech? If they want to arrest someone because of what we said, they should arrest me! I'd like to see what the BJP does to judge me in court! ”

"Exactly!" "Exactly!"

Amid the sound of approval, the CPPCC Anhui was filled with an atmosphere of freedom of speech granted to the people in the liberated areas by the People's Party Constitution. Everyone holds their heads up, their expressions are either firm or tragic, and they really have the spirit of a constitutional defender.

Of course, Chen Duxiu didn't know the online term "crooked building", but his feelings were the same as those who tried to seriously discuss the post, but found that the whole discussion had already gone off topic. And the most amazing thing is that after some discussion, this post will always seem to jump back to the content of the main post discussion inexplicably.

No matter how much they criticized the People's Party and what kind of dissatisfaction they were with the policies of the People's Party, in the end the gentry ended with "Cai Yuanpei should not die". Every dissatisfaction with the People's Party was finally transformed into a reason why Cai Yuanpei did not deserve to die.

This discussion has not been a day or two, except for the fact that Cai Yuanpei personally gave the order to kill, in the eyes of the gentry, Cai Yuanpei's actions are all justified, and even have very correct reasons. Cai Yuanpei's starting point of "rectifying order and clearing chaos" is very good, and it is the executors below who make things worse. If things can be carried out as Cai Yuanpei expected, it will definitely not lead to the tragic situation later.

In addition to analyzing and defending what Cai Yuanpei has already done. There were also some gentry who made assumptions about the past.

"If the western part of Zhejiang is not so radical and has more to do than negotiate in the local area, how can Mr. Cai Yuanpei be forced to use the method of suppression?"

"Isn't this about democracy? Those people in western Zhejiang are shouting about democracy in their mouths, why is it not democratic when they do things? Relying on the strength of the crowd and forcibly carrying out land reform, it is strange if nothing happens! ”

Some of these CPPCC members also read a lot, and some people immediately shouted: "That is called the tyranny of the majority!" I read it in Mr. Yan Fu's book! "People in the CPPCC usually call Yan Fu by his first name. After someone dug up the content that could be used in Yan Fu's book, Yan Fu was immediately named Mr. again.

The CPPCC immediately summed up these with a relatively clear idea, "Mr. Cai was also forced, and those people in western Zhejiang are not without responsibility." They insist on going their own way, opposing democracy and opposing consultation. Imposing the tyranny of the majority. People have tempers, and Mr. Cai didn't say anything about anti-radicalism! These people are activists. ”

"Not bad! Both sides are responsible for this! This view was immediately and unequivocally endorsed by almost all CPPCC members.

With a basic consensus, these CPPCC members gave full play to their expertise and began to "judge" the case morally. In the end, brainstorming came up with an idea. After finishing the collation, the CPPCC members solemnly handed over a stack of manuscripts to Chen Duxiu, hoping that Chen Duxiu, a university scholar, would be able to organize this into an article for publication.

CPPCC members fully expressed how they respected Chen Duxiu's character, ability, knowledge, and status, and believed that Chen Duxiu could definitely represent the true idea of the whole of Anhui. Even when female opponents are heard from the loudspeakers outside, these CPPCC members still believe that they can truly represent the will of the people in Anhui. Even the phrase "the truth is often in the hands of a few" popped up.

The core idea is one, Chen Duxiu work hard, work hard. Publishing an article in Chen Duxiu's personal name will support Chen Duxiu's right to freedom of speech. If the People's Party is unfavorable to Chen Duxiu, the Anhui CPPCC will definitely not sit idly by.

The only constructive suggestion in this empty talk was that since the printing houses in Anhui were controlled by the People's Party and there was a possibility that they would encounter printing problems, those articles might as well be published in places like Shanghai. First, it can avoid so many obstacles, and second, it can also let Anhui's views be understood by the whole country. Even though the People's Party has been in Anhui for the longest time, Anhui is not only the voice of the People's Party.

Of course, Chen Duxiu knew what these people wanted to do, and they were eager to express their thoughts. And as usual, these guys are always trying to push others to the front line. It is not that these people in the Anhui CPPCC have tried it themselves, but the result is that they have been attacked head-on by the masses. After many attempts and failures, these people know that they can't do these things. The only way to turn to something more powerful is to turn to someone stronger.

Those who dare to openly intercede for Cai Yuanpei naturally have enough reputation. If you do this, you will only end up with self-inflicted humiliation. It is not that it has been insulted by the BJP, regardless of its reputation, the BJP does not care about the literati at all. The insult to the literati came from within the literati group, "I don't know how high the sky is!" "How old are you?" This is the literati's first reaction when they see someone else. Raising your arms is the same for everyone.

So Chen Duxiu didn't feel that there was anything wrong, at this time, the CPPCC people didn't recruit Chen Duxiu, who was famous in the south, who else could they go to? What made Chen Duxiu feel inappropriate was the charter put forward by the CPPCC members, and the entire content of the article was not about facts at all, except for speculation.

As far as Chen Duxiu heard, the Anhui CPPCC seemed to have turned into a storyteller. tells a story vividly, in which the psychology and behavior of the characters are all conceived by the Anhui CPPCC people, and all the behaviors are also their cut-and-mix of various materials and what happened in Anhui. After such a creation, and after reasoning about all this, the Anhui CPPCC finally named the protagonist of this story Cai Yuanpei.

Even if Chen Duxiu did not disagree too much with the views of these people in the CPPCC, he did not agree to kill Cai Yuanpei. But he still felt that it was a bit excessive. Because Chen Duxiu really wanted to save Cai Yuanpei, and these people in the Anhui CPPCC didn't care about Cai Yuanpei's life and death, what they wanted to express was their dissatisfaction with the People's Party. This is very different from what Chen Duxiu wants to express.

Thinking of this, "Ladies and gentlemen, I have some channels for publishing articles in Shanghai. Otherwise, I also contacted Anhui, posting articles in Shanghai and Anhui on the other. But each writes its own and ventilates more, but I don't know what you think? ”

"If it can be published in Anhui and Shanghai at the same time, it will naturally be the best. However, as far as the People's Party is concerned...... "CPPCC members are embarrassed.

"I'll go to the person in charge in Anhui and say, as you said, since the People's Party advocates freedom of speech, how can we have no power to speak?" Chen Duxiu replied.

The CPPCC members looked at each other one by one, their eyes were full of embarrassment, and finally someone spoke, "but it's not that they can't speak, it's just that they will be made difficult after speaking." ”

"The world is big but a rational word. If you talk directly about interests, it is naturally easy to provoke strong contradictions. But I'm waiting for this time to talk about reasoning, about not killing more people. If the truth is right, what are we afraid of? Chen Duxiu also does not want to blindly support what the CPPCC is doing. Although the liberated women do things more excessively, there is no reason why the CPPCC only allows people to scold and others cannot talk back.

Seeing Cai Yuanpei's firm attitude, these CPPCC members talked for a while and all agreed.
