Fu Zhuoyao read the article he had just written, and thought of those classmates who died for being used by others for nothing, and inexplicable grief and indignation surged into his heart again.

If it weren't for this tragedy, she wouldn't have realized that those careerists would be so insidious.

And for the young soldier who exposed the truth of the tragedy and the conspiracy behind it, her heart was full of gratitude and admiration.

"As he said, only in this way can the victims be truly avenged." Fu Zhuoyao said to herself.

At this moment, in a small attic in the distance, Yang Shuoming, who was standing there overlooking, saw the light still on in Fu Zhuoyao's room, and couldn't help nodding secretly.

Yang Shuoming's gaze turned into the distance, he looked at the lights flickering in the darkness in the distance, took a deep breath, turned around and returned to the house, he looked at the newspapers on the table, and sneered.

"Since you started by 'flickering', let you perish in 'flickering'!"

"Nine? For example, the "Morning Post," the organ of the Research Department, published Lin Xueheng's article "A Message to the Whole Nation on the Bloodshed of the Youth" in the "Commentary" column on October 2, unceremoniously pointing out that the patriotic youth "are so excited that they take risks and fall into the trap of annihilating people and taking advantage of them," and the article points out that Xu Qian, Li Shouchang, and others "drive thousands of precious young people to make a desperate bet...... They will want to put thousands of precious young people to death", "they will send all the kings to kill young people, hoping to benefit themselves". It has caused a strong response in society.

On 7 October, the "Morning Post" published an editorial written by Chen Yuanquan entitled "The Mass Leader is Safe," in which he also indignantly said, "Hundreds of young people who are pure and patriotic have indirectly died at the hands of their juniors (the so-called "mass leaders")."

Chen Yuanquan clearly pointed out in the article "The Leaders of the Masses Are Safe", "Xu Qian, Li Shouchang and others had to force the masses to go to the governor's office, and even said that the guards of the palace had been disarmed, and there was no danger in this trip, so a group of young people began to go to each other." In addition to correcting the political axe, we cannot but question the responsibility of the so-called 'leaders of the masses'! ”

The famous scholar Chen Yuan also put forward the same point in the "Modern Review": "Students meet some' The good people', they all said that after the meeting at Chengtianmen that day, they did not intend to go back to the Governor's Mansion, because they heard the chairman of the General Assembly announce that the guards of the Governor's Mansion had been disarmed, so they went to the Governor's Mansion to make trouble, and we cannot but believe that at least some of the people died because of the Chairman's words, if the Chairman knew that the guards were not disarmed, and he deliberately said that, of course, his sin was no less than that of the person who shot and killed, and if he misheard the lie and did not think about the investigation, he believed it to be true, and openly announced it, and it would be too much to live up to the responsibility of the leader of the people。 ”

"The guards did not disarm, but at the time of the tragedy, there were no bullets in the guns of the guards, but three shots came from the wall, killing three soldiers on the spot, the guards were frightened, so they ignored the ban, reloaded and opened fire. Where are the leaders of the masses at this critical juncture? Is it a coincidence that there are male and female students, children, and citizens who have died, but it is a coincidence that the leaders of the masses have not been damaged in the slightest? Alack! Who died in front of the Governor's Mansion? He is the leader of the masses! Who are the groaning and paining people in the hospitals? He is the leader of the masses! ”

And when the article titled "A Lie Written in Blood" was reprinted in newspapers and periodicals all over China, it immediately set off huge waves throughout the country and even the world. Britain, France, the United States, and other countries have condemned Soviet Russia's espionage activities of exporting revolution to foreign countries, and the British "Times" called this bloody incident planned by Soviet Russia behind the scenes an "astonishing tragedy" with a "beast surname." The New York Times of the United States called the day of the tragedy "the darkest day since the founding of the Republic of China." While expressing condolences for the victims, it condemned the Soviet and Russian political axes for causing chaos in China. At this moment, Chinese intellectuals and media have also shown unprecedented unity and social conscience, and scholars such as Hu Shi, Liang Qichao, and Lin Yutang have written articles condemning the Soviet Russian political axe, and "Awakening the Lion," "Seeking Truth," "Yusi," "National News," "World Daily," "Tsinghua Weekly," "Morning Post," and "Modern Review" have also joined the ranks of condemning the Soviet Russian political axe's conspiracy and atrocities in the Far East. The "Beijing Daily" presided over by Shao Piaoping published news and comments in a large and continuous manner, extensively and deeply reporting the truth behind the tragedy, and the "Beijing Daily Supplement" also published a large number of related articles.

Yanjing, flyover.

Duan Qirui, dressed in casual clothes, accompanied by his son Duan Hongye, was sitting in front of a small stall, drinking bean juice and eating fried fruits while listening to the discussions of the diners.

At this time, Duan Qirui was wearing a robe, holding a cane, and his hair was a little gray, although he was not yet sixty years old this year, he was already showing his old state.

Because "Nine? In the relationship of the 28th "tragedy", the disheartened Duan Qirui handed over all the affairs of the Border Supervision Office to Xu Shuzheng, and he began to be a vegetarian to the Buddha to show repentance.

"Students shout 'China is dying' at every turn, but in fact, in my opinion, we are in a much better situation now than when we were in the fourth year of the Republic of China." An old man sitting not far away said.

"Of course, China is now one of the six victorious powers of the Entente, and I heard that this time the Germans will have to pay us for the soldiers. Where is the danger of losing the country, really! ”

"Pity these students, patriotism is good, but it's a pity that they are used by others, and their deaths are unknown."

"Why don't you know? In the eyes of the Russian red hair, the dead are very clear, and they know that if they want to make something happen in our China, they can't do it without a few dead people. ”

"Yes! In our China, the biggest thing is the dead. has always made trouble in the people, the most ruthless and poisonous trick, for which one is not the same day, just hang a hemp rope at the door of which house, their own relatives, will naturally turn that family upside down, without a lot of money, don't think about it at all! In the former Qing Dynasty, the scribes and servants in the yamen wanted to harm any rich family who had no power or power, as long as they secretly put an ownerless dead body at the door of this house, they could destroy the house! In fact, the truth is the same. ”

"Yes, the so-called 'human life is a matter of heaven', in fact, whether it is the people or the government, they are particularly concerned about the affairs of the dead. The people are making trouble with officials, either because someone is dead, or someone is taking advantage of the dead person to demonstrate and gather a crowd. If you make a big deal out of it, and there are no dead people or coffins, you can't get it up at all. ”

"And in our China, as long as the matter is big and lasts long enough, there is no worry that there will be no dead people, and it does not necessarily have to be related to the matter in front of you, but as long as you die at this moment, you can talk about it. Do you still remember the 'protection of the railway' in Sichuan in the former Qing Dynasty? I remember that it was a teacher who committed suicide at that time for some reason, and was taken at that time, and died as a road guard, and made a fuss for a while. In fact, it can't be played with the railway. ”

"Besides, a while ago, Zhao Jialou beat people and set fire, isn't it a legend that a student surnamed Guo was killed by the Cao family? At that time, he held a memorial service all day long, and it was too noisy, but what was the result? In fact, he himself was a tuberculosis ghost, and he was terminally ill, and he died of illness. ”

Hearing this, the surrounding diners burst into laughter.

"The current Russian red hairs are even worse than the previous white hairs, they saw this and sent the annihilators to our side to make trouble, just to divert the eyes of the people, so that they could take the opportunity to take down the thousands of miles of rivers and mountains in Mongolia."

"This red-haired man is different from the white-haired man, they are playing yin, and they deliberately promote this and that doctrine in our China, just to sow discord. As the saying goes, 'don't cheat outsiders at home', those students all look like they are knowledgeable, but why can't they even understand this truth? ”

"Young people are still simple, and after reading some foreign books, it is easy to listen to the set of red hairs, so they are like this, their hearts are still good. It's just that the red haired son and those Han Annihilation were fooled. ”

"Alas, guarding the two unlucky neighbors of Maozi and Wakou, our Chinese son, don't think about it."

Listening to the talk of these lowest-class people in China, Duan Qirui nodded thoughtfully. He drank the bean juice from the bowl in one gulp and stood up.

Duan Hongye put a few copper dollars on the table and helped his father to stand up.

The father and son walked forward side by side, and Duan Hongye noticed that his father's spirit seemed to be much better than when he first came out.

"It seems that he Yang Hanzhi is right." Duan Qirui said softly to himself.

"What did my father say?" Duan Hongye asked.

"I mean, if Seon loses his horse, is it a blessing?" Duan Qirui smiled bitterly and said, "Although this incident has ruined my life, it is not without gains, at least, through this incident, it is worth it for the people to recognize the conspiracy and ambitions of Soviet Russia and the true face of the party members." ”

"It's just that now everyone knows that it is a conspiracy of Soviet Russia, but the responsibility for the crime has to be borne by my father alone, which is too unfair." Duan Hongye said a little sadly.

"If a country lives and dies for profit, will it be avoided because of good and evil?" Duan Hongye noticed that his father was chanting poems, and his body straightened up against the normal norm, as if he had changed someone, and couldn't help but be very surprised.

"As long as my China can survive this catastrophe smoothly, what does my reputation and reputation count for?" Duan Qirui turned his head to look at his son and said, "Let's go!" Get back! I'm going to write my resignation. ”

"Do you really want to recommend Yang Hanzhi to replace you?" Duan Hongye stopped and asked.

"This time he saved my life, and I had to show something for it." Duan Qirui sighed and said, "What's more, this person's talent is indeed suitable for this position." ”

On October 10, 1920, Duan Qirui resigned from the post of border superintendent, went to the wilderness, devoted himself to Buddhism, and called himself "Righteous Layman". According to Duan Qirui's recommendation, President Li Yuanhong appointed Yang Shuoming to take over the post of border defense superintendent.

On October 17, 1920, the Supreme Court of the Republic of China held a trial of the "Nine? 28. The main messenger of the "tragedy" sent a note to all countries in the same way, announcing that he refused to recognize the Soviet Russian political axe and the Far Eastern Republic.

On November 14, 1920, he said, "Nine? Twenty-two of the main criminals involved in the 28th massacre were hanged (including six Russians).

On November 20, 1920, the garrisons of the three eastern provinces of China were reorganized into the Northeast Frontier Army, and on November 27, the Northeast Frontier Army officially launched an attack on the Far Eastern Republic.

On December 5, 1920, the Chinese government dissolved the Anfu National Assembly and announced the reconvening of the National Assembly and the reopening of elections.

On December 25, 1920, Li Yuanhong, President of the Republic of China, resigned due to illness, and the presidency was temporarily deputized by Vice President Feng Guozhang.

For Chinese politics due to the "nine? The series of major changes that have taken place since the "28" incident have attracted great attention from all walks of life at home and abroad, but there is one person who is not clear about what has happened in the outside world.

Zhang Yating has lost count of how long she has been locked up in this dark basement.

At this time, she was alone in the dark.

Everything was so cloudy and hazy, as if it was back in the mother's womb.

In this cramped basement, there was not a single piece of furniture, only a thin and torn mattress and straw mat laid on the concrete floor. There was a hole in the ground that emitted a foul smell and was used as a toilet. Zhang Yating lay in the dark, humming a few songs her father taught her a long time ago.

At this time, she didn't know how far she was from the brink of insanity.

Since the end of the "interrogation" with Yang Shuoming alone, she has never been able to figure out where she is now.

Zhang Yating opened her eyes, and there was nothing around her. The dungeon was pitch black, and even its outline was indiscernible.

Memories poured in.

This is in ...... Russia? Petersburg?

"Doctor, please save him!"

This is the cry of a mother.

"I'll take a look...... He broke a rib and broke his wrist. Let's start by tying these places with bandages...... The wounds and gunshot wounds were severe, and the broken ribs pierced the heart. …… Fast! He's starting to vomit blood again! The doctor's voice.

"It's a pity, ma'am, we've done our best......"

"Oh, God! Give me back my husband! The mother wailed loudly, "They killed my husband!" ”

Zhang Yating's tears flowed.

Tears for her father, who lost her life, tears for her mother, and tears for herself.

And that sinful world.

In the cold darkness, Zhang Yating lay on a thin mattress, her heart filled with overwhelming hatred, so much so that her whole body trembled. Her thoughts burned like a fire, and finally in her head. There is only one emotion left: revenge.

Yes, revenge.

And not just to the Bolsheviks who killed their fathers, the Red Guards.

She wants revenge on this sinful world!

She wants revenge on those who have brought her to such a point, on those who ruined her life.

"That old woman dared to hide something from me, she didn't tell me that she had such an aggressive daughter."

Here, it seems to be at the headquarters of the "Cheka".

"Dear miss, you need not be afraid, we are the public servants of the Soviet political axe. We obey the leadership of Comrade Dzerzhinsky. As long as you agree to our request and sign your name on this document, you are free. ”

"Follow me: Me, Angela? Christina, who voluntarily joined this great revolutionary organization and became a faithful informant of Comrades Lenin and Dzerzhinsky, I am willing to exchange my life for any intelligence that is beneficial to our great Fatherland. If I betrayed Comrade Lenin and Comrade Dzerzhinsky, then I would have lost my life. ”

"If you agree to work for us, you can write off your previous crimes......"

"Very well, I am glad that you have made a wise choice to devote yourself to the great revolutionary cause of liberating all mankind."

"Comrade Lenin wants us to work in the East, and I think you are willing to respond to this call, don't you? Comrade Christina? ”

"You look like you're naturally suited to work in China, and I'm sure you'll get good results."

"By the way, in order to prevent you from defecting or escaping, we must make a mark on your body, and in view of the special surname of your body, we have decided to put a mark on your scalp."

Two men with razors walked in, Zhang Yating was pressed on the bed, the two men quickly shaved her beautiful long hair with the razor in their hands, she watched motionlessly as they shaved their hair, and after the hair was shaved, a tattoo artist walked in and tattooed on Zhang Yating's scalp those glorious patterns symbolizing the revolutionary cause and her Russian codename.

Although she didn't say a word at that time, she still remembered the heart-piercing pain.

There is also a deep shame.

Finally the nightmare special training is over. A few months later, the director personally put her on a cruise ship bound for Shanghai, China. She was accompanied to China by two men of Asian descent.

When was that?

She shook her head vigorously, and the sight disappeared.

Time has completely lost its meaning to her now.

There was never light in this cramped dungeon, so there was no difference between day and night, and she didn't know how long she had been in solitary confinement.

Every once in a while, a cold meal would be stuffed through a small hole under the cell door. Zhang Yating had no appetite at all, but she forced herself to eat up the food delivered every time.

You have to eat, or you won't be able to support it. She said this to herself over and over again.

After experiencing the unbearable pain of ordinary people, she has been able to deeply understand the meaning of this sentence.

From this point of view, there are still many benefits to the experience in the "Cheka".

Although in many ways, she is not a good spy.
