As soon as Jia Ziwen left, Shi Suo stepped in, "Old Duan, I almost had an accident." ”

It turned out that Shi Suo took the medicine jar and ran out of the city to the Yingbin Teahouse, preparing to ask the bald man to send someone to send the medicine jar to Sanhu Village. As soon as they walked not far from the teahouse, they saw two little beggars in the armed squad hurrying along the road to this side.

"What's wrong, what's running?" Stone Lock stopped them.

"Dagang let the family deduct it." A little beggar continued breathlessly and said, "According to Sister Jiang's arrangement, we will work with the porters on the dock to arrange sentries and reconnoiter passing ships......

"I know this, let's talk about what's wrong with Dagang?"

"Da Gang took the order with the seal and read it to the workers, who knew that suddenly a group of policemen from the riverside investigation post rushed over, and they couldn't help but say, they said that we had gathered a crowd to make trouble, and we wanted to arrest and send it to the city, and we reasoned with them, but these unreasonable policemen did not listen to it at all, and arrested people when they came up, and just like that, Da Gang was arrested."

Zhang Jingyao, Lu Daya and others generally do not take seriously the meetings and deliberations of trade unions, chambers of commerce and other people's organizations, because they cannot control them, and they will not be able to grasp them, but they will easily provoke popular uprisings. As for the police, they don't even meddle in their affairs, so why are they suddenly arrested today? Shi Suo couldn't figure it out, so he handed the medicine jar to the bald head, and then hurriedly went into the city to find Duan Laosan to report the news.

When Duan Laosan heard this, he also felt a little puzzled, although Lu Daya wanted to ban trade unions and chambers of commerce and other organizations, but he never succeeded, is this time going to be hard and use force in a big way? Although it is not a big deal to catch a big gang, if it is caught at the beginning, it will be full of troubles, this matter can be big or small, how to deal with it? Duan Laosan began to feel that Gai Tou and Jiang Yu Niang were not there.

"I'll take someone to rescue Dagang." Shi Suo said.

Duan Laosan shook his head, if this was a signal for Lu Daya to use force, then it would be difficult to stop the enemy from continuing to act after saving a great gang. He thought about it again and again, and said to Shi Suo: "Let's discuss with everyone, in the name of the porter union, go to the police station to ask for someone." ”

Before Duan Laosan could gather manpower, Da Gang came back.

Seeing Dagang's appearance, unscathed, neither tortured nor injured, he said to Duan Laosan that after the police arrested him, they did not send him to the official office or prison, but were very interested in the notice in his hand.

"Robbed for them?"

Da Gang shook his head, "I didn't understand what they meant, so I tore up the notice, but I still snatched some of the corners of the paper for them." ”

The content of the notice is the measures formulated by Eyu Niang to boycott Japanese goods, which is said to be not a secret, and Eyu Niang also plans to select the main ones to write posters at the appropriate time and post them everywhere to expand the influence. The police snatched the notice, which can be said to be useless.

Just when Duan Laosan and the others were puzzled by this matter, a small meeting was held in the living room of the Lu Mansion at No. 18 Longmen Hutong.

Attending the meeting were not only a few officers such as Hua Shenjun, but also a few people from the cultural circles such as President Yuan, the police chief, and the captain of the dock investigation team. On the large carved coffee table in the middle of the living room, there are no tea sets and decorative items, but a few pieces of shredded paper.

"Everyone," Lu Daya paced a few steps in the living room with his hands behind his back, "I heard what the police station said just now, although the investigation team was slow to start and didn't grab the complete paper, but this is enough." ”

An officer asked suspiciously: "General Lu, it is obvious that they are going to boycott Japanese goods, and the worker who was caught said it very clearly, that is, the dock workers are discussing the boycott of Japanese goods, and this kind of activity has already taken place elsewhere. Do we need to answer them? ”

"Hmph, they boycott Japanese products, naturally it has nothing to do with us, who wants to boycott, I don't bother to care. That's not what I'm talking about, though. ”

"Are you saying that they are fighting against the provincial government and Zhang Overseer in the name of boycotting Japanese goods?" Hua asked Senjun.

"Not all," Lu Daya frowned, he felt that his subordinates were more stupid than the other, he couldn't help but shake his head slightly, slowly paced to the coffee table, looked at the scrap of paper on it, and said slowly: "At that time, according to the news detected, they were indeed discussing a boycott of Japanese goods, and the secret agents we sent had heard it clearly. The seized notice, the content on it, is also all about boycotting Japanese goods, and there is nothing else. ”

Principal Yuan stood up, also walked to the coffee table, leaned over to look at the few pieces of shredded paper, the paper was torn, some words were put together, and they could not be connected, and there was a trace of a red seal in the corner of the paper.

"General Lu, you mean, there is a problem with this notice itself?" Principal Yuan asked. He saw that Lu Daya had carefully placed the fragment of the notice on the coffee table, and guessed that the mystery must be here.

"Yes." Lu Daya nodded with satisfaction, "Look at that seal." ”

Principal Yuan picked up a corner of shredded paper with seal traces, put it in front of his eyes and carefully identified it, the word is a seal character, which is not easy to recognize, but after all, he is not shallow in knowledge, and after looking at it for a while, he can barely see two incomplete words, "Yongchang, Yongchang...... What does that mean? Is it 'longevity and eternal prosperity'? He said, taken aback first.

"That's right, it's those eight words, ordered by the sky, and longevity." Lu Daya said slowly word by word.

"The gold-inlaid jade seal is coming out again?" Principal Yuan's eyes widened, staring up and down at the broken piece of paper, the impression on the paper was indeed the font of the ancient legend, the strokes were crooked, and the ancient meaning was full.

"But," Principal Yuan raised his head in confusion again, "even if the jade seal appears again, it will be regarded as a rare treasure and properly treasured, how can it be casually used as a seal and printed on such a flyer to boycott Japanese goods?" It's like a precious piece of silk, who would use it as an insoles? In the same way, the poor workers stamped the leaflets with jade seals, which was a big joke. ”

"This is exactly what we need to pay attention to," Lu Daya said, "The poor man who was caught by the investigation team took this notice covered with a jade seal and went to the dock to read it to the porters. (To be continued.) )
