"Fuck the gangsters, I'll let you run." One of the pursuers cursed. Listening to his accent, it is a Hunan flavor, not a local accent.

As soon as they heard about the "chaotic party elements", the three of them were moved, at this time, "chaotic party" in their hearts, almost synonymous with "good people", so they couldn't help but take a closer look at the person who was caught, that person was only in his twenties, white and clean, wearing a pair of glasses, and seemed to be a student.

"What should I do, can I save it?" Stone Lock asked.

"How can I save it?" Hu Xuan shook his head, "Just the three of us, can we grab it?" Besides, grab it, can you run? ”

Xiao Li whispered beside him: "We also used the method we did last time, put on military uniforms, pretend to be the army, and ask them for people." "They carry military uniforms just in case.

Hu Xuan shook his head again, "Who is the other party, let's not find out, just recklessly go up to ask for someone, and we will be trapped." ”

The three of them were discussing, and suddenly saw a group of soldiers walking in the distance, one by one, wearing military hats crookedly, with open jacket buttons, walking loosely along the street, looking at the dress, it was the direct army soldiers stationed in Baoding. The one in front of him, who looked like an official, saw that he was arresting people here, he was a little strange, and shouted: "Fuck, what are you doing?" ”

As the officers shouted, the soldiers also raised their guns in a hurry, and suddenly shouted: "Damn, don't move, which part of you are?" ”

On the opposite side, among the few people in civilian clothes who grabbed the students, one of them walked out of the group, owed slightly to those soldiers, and said: "Brother is a subordinate of Hunan Zhang Overseer, this time I came to arrest a key criminal, because the matter is urgent, I haven't had time to inform your military governor's office, please forgive me." ”

"Fuck, you Hunan, what are you going to arrest in Baoding? Did you take the wrong medicine? The immediate officer scolded. Zhang Jingyao, the overseer of Hunan, is an Anhui team, and of course Baoding's direct line does not buy it.

He said separately: "Please calm your anger, we will go to your military palace to negotiate immediately." ”

"Don't fart, who knows if you're a mess?" The officer pushed his hat to the back of his head, looking like a ruffian.

There was a lot of noise here, and suddenly there was a shout from behind him: "What are you arguing about? ”

Everyone looked back, and two young men in military uniforms stood behind them, looking domineering, and one of them glared at the few plainclothes Hunanese and said, "Who are you?" Dare to come to our Baoding to arrest people and eat leopard gall? Cao Dujun also said to us yesterday that we must strictly prevent bad people from mixing in, are you pretending to be a chaotic party? ”

This person is Hu Shuan, standing next to Xiao Li, the group of soldiers heard that someone was helping, and they were even more arrogant, the official looked at Hu Shuan suspiciously, and asked, "May I ask ...... you are?"

Xiao Li said next to him: "This is Senator Hu of the Overseer's Mansion. ”

Hu Xuan didn't wait for the officer to come to his senses, and said to him: "Bring that prisoner over, let's escort him away, and then check whether these Hunan people are disorderly, and search them for any contraband, and if there is contraband, they will all be confiscated, and then they will be arrested and investigated." ”

Searching for "contraband" is what the soldiers are most willing to do, as soon as they heard this, they all responded, and they swarmed up, and they wanted to search those few people in civilian clothes. ”

All the soldiers chased after him, Shi Suo stepped over in two steps, grabbed the "prisoner", and then together with Hu Tie Xiao Li, he turned into a small alley, ran for a while, and turned to a street corner.

At this time, the young man who was arrested had already seen that something was wrong, and asked Hu Shuo suspiciously: "Are you ......?"

Hu Xuan said: "We are not soldiers, we are to save you, let's hide quickly." ”

After looking around, there was nothing to hide, so the four of them had to continue to walk forward, looking around as they went, for fear of encountering those soldiers or those Hunanese again, but fortunately they walked for a while and did not come across.

Worried all the way, it was easy to walk to Yan Jiashi and He Yuan's residence, two small houses on the edge of the city, dilapidated and remote, rented because they were cheap. Knocking on the door, Yan Jiashi and He Yuan were there, and when they saw a few people in Hu Xuan, they were very happy, and said in a loud voice: "I knew that a few of you would come, and now that the people in various places are surging, how can you stay at home?" ”

A few people sat down, and then they breathed a sigh of relief and asked about the origin of the young man, who introduced himself as Lin, a member of the Hunan Student Union, and was still in college.

"And how did you get hunted?" Hu Shuan asked.

He Yuan brought tea to everyone, Xiao Lin drank it, wiped his mouth and said, "The two of us ......"

"Two people?" Ask strictly.

"Yes," Kobayashi nodded, "I and another classmate, the two of us were entrusted by the student union to go to Beijing to contact the progressive students there, carry out a petition march and joint action, and create momentum for the expulsion of the warlord Zhang Jingyao. ”

Warlord Zhang Jingyao ruled Hunan, with a bad record, tyranny in Hunan, looting people's wealth, burning and killing, destroying education, and doing all kinds of evil.

Kobayashi continued: "Recently, our trade unions, peasant unions, student unions, and education associations have been discussing frequently, and they feel that the strength of one province is still insufficient, so they have decided to send people to Beijing, Tianjin, Guangzhou and other places to contact colleagues and jointly set off a protest movement. ”

Hu Xuan asked with interest: "Have you established these student unions and trade union peasant unions there?" I spent the summer in Changsha, Hunan, and it wasn't so lively at that time. ”

Kobayashi said: "Now the situation is changing three times a day, very rapidly, because of Zhang Jingyao's perverse behavior, the people are increasingly difficult, so people continue to stand up and call on the people to rise up and fight, so there are hundreds of responses, and the waves of protests have come and gone." All kinds of student unions, trade unions, peasant associations, and education associations have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain. ”

He Yuan said next to him: "This shows that resistance and oppression always go hand in hand, and Zhang is brutal and unreasonable, oppressing the people, which will naturally cause joint resistance from all walks of life." ”

Shi Suo asked Xiao Lin: "Where is your arrested classmate?" ”

Kobayashi said: "In a rich man's house outside the city, I ran out of there. They and the rich man seem to have known each other for a long time. ”

Hu Xuan said: "We have to find a way to rescue your classmates as much as possible, otherwise if they are escorted back to Hunan, it will be more than lucky." ”

Xiao Lin also said anxiously: "Yes, Zhang Jingyao kills people like hemp, especially these workers and students who make trouble, and he never wants to let go. Their usual magic weapon is to make an example of a hundred. ”

Yan Jiashi said: "These guys, where can there be any compassion, always kill and kill, always Lao Tzu's gun is the law, it is the sky." ”

He Yuan said: "In contrast, Baoding's side is more stable, although Cao Kun is also a warlord, but compared with Zhang Jingyao, he can attach importance to education and advocate culture, which is different from Zhang Jingyao. ”

"But," Hu Xuan said, "these personal likes and dislikes cannot change the mediocre and violent nature of the warlords, everyone knows that Wu Peifu is diligent and self-disciplined, but after all, he is also a warlord leader, and these people are unrelenting when they are vying for power and suppressing the people." ”

"That's right."

After some discussion, everyone decided to go to the rescue in the afternoon.

After eating at noon, according to the agreed plan, Hu Xuan, Shi Suo and Xiao Lin went to the rich man's house outside the city to inquire about the news, and the rest of the people were the second group.

Xiao Lin put on makeup, pressed his head with a broken hat, and walked out with Hu Bolt and Stone Lock, in order to avoid trouble in the city, the three of them went around the edge of the city, and walked in a roundabout way, and after walking for a long time, the sky was overcast, and the cloudy wind blew the clouds, constantly gathering, as if it was going to rain.

"It's better to rain and it's good for us to move." Hu Xuan said. The three of them quickened their pace, just stepped on a path, and turned a group of seven or eight people from the side, carrying flat boxes, tying guns, knives, gongs and drums, etc., and leading a monkey, it seemed that it was a circus troupe, these people walked very quickly, trotting, as if there was an emergency, Hu Xuan and others saw that they were in a hurry, so they made way out and let the troupe go to the front.

After walking not far, I suddenly heard a commotion behind me, and when I looked back, there were more than a dozen people running over, all of them were in black clothes and black pants, holding iron knives and iron rods, Hu Xuan and others were a little puzzled, seeing that these people in black were fierce and vicious, like green forest characters, Hu Xuan said: "It's not good, these people are wearing the same clothes, holding murder weapons, it seems to be a group of **, let's get out of the way." ”

The three of them hurriedly dodged into the field next to them, which was adjacent to the edge of the city, and near the left was the crop field outside the city, and ran a few steps, seeing that those people were not chasing after them, but chasing after the troupe in front.

"Not at us." Shi Suo said.

The three of them slowed down, saw those people running violently, and soon caught up with the troupe, but the two sides met, and did not immediately fight, a troupe leader and the group of men in black negotiated, those men in black all raised their eyebrows, stuck the intersection, kicked over the flat box of the troupe at will, and the little monkey was also kicked, squeaking and screaming.
