Scar Rat raised his chin at Shi Suo, Shi Suo raised the whip in his hand, split his head and covered his face and gave the Taoist priest a few blows, the Taoist priest was beaten and screamed, and Scar Rat screamed sharply: "If you want to live, you must be honest." ”

But the Taoist priest really couldn't explain anything, and he just said that he came to find people, books, paintings, and could make a lot of money, and several officers behind the table were tired of hearing it, Shang Cheng frowned and said: "Give me a beating, it's really hard-mouthed, and I'll kill them." ”

The scar rat snatched the whip of the stone lock, crackled and whipped more than a dozen whips in a row, although this guy is not tall, not strong, but the yin is damaged and vicious, each whip is beaten firmly, and the Taoist priest was beaten to a miserable scream. Shi Suo stood next to him, looking a little unbearable, he saw that the Taoist priests standing next to him although they were not beaten, but they were also so frightened that their faces turned pale and trembled, they stepped forward and grabbed one, took two steps forward, and said in a vicious tone: "Do you want to be beaten twice?" ”

"Long ...... The official spared his life. ”

"Then tell me honestly, come here, what are the secret operations, who is the leader, whether there are any kidnappers, and confess all the secrets, and naturally spare your life." Shi Suo deliberately steered Shang Cheng and the officers what they wanted to hear.

"Yes, yes, our leader is President Su, and this time he came with the three masters, as for the hijacking...... hijacked others, but caught two, and then ran away. ”

When several officers heard this, their eyes lit up, and Shang Cheng hurriedly asked, "Who are the two people who are kidnapping?" ”

"Yes...... Two couples surnamed Ji, they are not good people...... No, no, they are good people. Later they secretly escaped. ”

The Taoist priest confessed, but he couldn't say anything, Shang Cheng and others were concerned about the whereabouts of He Yuan and Pei Yi, and now they heard that it was a "husband and wife surnamed Ji", a little inexplicable, and an officer asked: "Where did it come from, and when?" ”

Shi Suo pushed the Taoist priest forward a few steps, and when he arrived in front of Shang Cheng and other officers, the Taoist priest was flustered, and said incoherently that it was Luo Jiazhai who caught it, and then said that it was the beacon tower, and Shi Suo gave a few more whips from the side, and the preface did not match the afterword, and the more the officers listened, the more confused they became.

Shi Suo suddenly remembered that when he was in Luojiazhai, he heard the "Red Lotus Society" say something like "erecting a flag to fight the world" and other bragging, and raised his whip and shouted: "Say, what do you want to do with this 'bullshit club', and what are your goals?" ”

Several Taoist priests knew about this question, and they scrambled to answer: "Our slogan is 'Spread the Tao of Immortals, Refine the Immortal Body, and Level the World'." President Su's will is to let all the people of the world gather under the banner of the Immortal Society, and the country will be unified. ”

Shi Suo was secretly amused in his heart, several officers, together with Shang Cheng, all paid attention to these when they heard this, the so-called "peaceful world" Yunyun, isn't it just to rebel?

An officer said to Shang Cheng: "It seems that this gang must be anti-thieves, but in my opinion, it must be a chaotic gathering of the party, spreading heresies and plotting disobedience in the name of gangs, and it should be traced back to the source and completely eliminated." ”

At this time, an officer came in from outside the door, but it was Chen Dade, who walked into Shang Cheng's ear and muttered a few words in a low voice. Shi Suo was afraid that Chen Dade would recognize him, so he quietly hid behind the Taoist priest, but the candlelight in the room was dim, and Chen Dade didn't notice him.

Shang Cheng nodded silently, and together with another officer, walked out with Chen Dade. Inside the house, the remaining two officers continued to interrogate, carefully interrogating the purpose, personnel, distribution of the congregation, address, and the status of the activities of the Immortal Society.

Early the next morning, Mr. Kang and his two students followed Dafeng to the outside of the city, and along the way, Dafeng told them about the struggle with the warlord Zhang Jingyao in Changsha, as well as the experience of the student union, the trade union, and the peasant association uniting to make a big fuss in the citizens' association. ”

"It's easy to do," Dafeng said, "you see, these peasants who go down to the fields in the morning, the merchants who do business in the city, and the workers who work in the factories, can all unite everyone. ”

In the field, there are early farmers who work in the fields, spring is the season of ploughing, the fields are less idle months, spring and autumn, often the busiest, the sun has just risen, there are already farmers who send manure and prepare the land, and go into the field.

Xiao Wang asked suspiciously: "Dafeng, what you said makes sense, but students like us, everyone can understand the truth of saving the country and saving the people, like these farmers, they all live one by one, how can they unite them?" We have also tried to move the citizens, but it has not worked, and sometimes, no one has paid attention to us. ”

"That'...... You have to take your time, for example, to engage in civilian education, like ours, and to engage in willow weaving clubs. Dafeng thought about it, she could only say a little bit about the truth that He Yuan, Professor Wan and others usually preached, and then she talked about it in detail, and she was stuck, and said with a smile: "When you see Teacher He and them, you can figure it out." ”

Came to Zhou Ping's uncle's house, saw He Yuan, Pei Yi, Duan Laosan and Liu's father and daughter, Mr. Kang held He Yuan's hand and said: "I heard Shi Suo and Dafeng say that you have been very successful in Changsha, we are in Wuchang, although we have organized a 'newspaper to the Congress' to fight against the oppression of warlords, but we always feel that people are lonely, and they are constrained everywhere, and they have almost been caught in several actions. This time, you must pass on some experience to us. ”

He Yuan and Pei Yi were very enthusiastic about Mr. Kang and others, and in the process of resisting the warlords, they were all like-minded, so they hit it off at first sight. He Yuan smiled heartily and said: "I have long hoped that our people with lofty ideals in various places can communicate with each other, Lao Pei They are in Beijing, you are in Wuchang, and we are in Changsha, although they are thousands of miles away, but when opposing the warlords, they should be closely connected, and I want to say, it is too late for us to meet." ”

Pei Yi said: "Lao Kang, Wuchang has a vast territory and complex personnel, and it is especially difficult for you to fight in this place, if you want me to say, you have to change your strategy, don't take the assassination of one or two warlords as the main goal, that is too dangerous, and the effect may not be good." At a time when the situation in the whole country is chaotic, the warlords are fighting intermittently, and the people are displaced, it is imperative to widely publicize the truth of the family and the country, so that the ordinary people can become aware of it from the heart, so that they can consciously and voluntarily unite.
