The prison of the Military Police Inspection Department, since the Hongxian era, has been the recognized ghost gate in Sijiu City, the Hall of the King of Yama. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info No matter what a heroic you are, I only heard that you stood up and went in, and I didn't see anyone coming out vertically." Lei Zhendong, nicknamed Lei Butcher, is not a compassionate character like Jiang Bodhisattva, but in the capital, he is a well-known living Hades.

Even after the resumption of the republic, Lei Zhendong became one of the must-kill lists of Ge Ming's party, which is also closely related to his previous great martial arts in hunting down and killing anti-Hongxian people. He turned to the Duan system and finally saved his life. But in order to prove his role in front of the new master, the means became more and more cruel.

Although the republic is not an imperial system, there are not so many chaotic parties to arrest. However, the most troublesome opponents in the general department insist on attacking the Duan system, and do not accept the journalists with financial support, otherwise, they are enthusiastic and irrational students. Don't be arrested in this prison in the name of Southwest agents, and of course, most of them never came out.

At this time, Meng Siyuan was imprisoned in the deepest part of this prison. If there are family members outside who can get a lot of money, or if there are beautiful female relatives who are willing to give up their dignity for the sake of their relatives, then the prisoners can still live well. At least don't suffer too much until you get shot. Like Meng Siyuan, who has no money to give, and no woman to dedicate herself to, it is said that he can only eat the prison food that refuses to even eat the livestock and drink the rancid water full of worms.

However, contrary to the truth. Under the personal care of the warden Chu Mengxiong, Meng Siyuan's accommodation conditions were not bad. Although he was in the deepest part of the cell, there was a wooden bed instead of straw. The room was cleaned up, and kerosene lamps, desks and Taishi chairs were prepared in the room.

On the word table, in the teapot is the freshly brewed Longjing, pea yellow, Aiwowo, honey twist, Poria cake, a few kinds of dim sum from Daoxiang Village, put at the other end.

On the spread notebook, densely written words, on the kerosene lamp, Meng Siyuan held the pen, seized all the time to bow his head to write. For him, the most precious thing now is time, and if he can write more words, he will write more.

Outside the cell door, the sound of the key churning the keyhole was heard, and the familiar sound of footsteps was heard as the metal door creaked. Immediately after, there was a deliberately suppressed sound of excitement

"Chief Meng...... Greetings to you. ”

It was a man in his forties. Although the person is not very tall, he is very strong, his face is full of meat, his appearance is vicious, and there is a scar on his face, which is even more hideous. But this scar was split by the enemy on the battlefield in order to protect Lei Zhendong, and it was by virtue of this scar that he could become the overlord of this world.

Although in the capital, Chu Mengxiong is not a character at all. But in this prison, he is a worthy king. Regardless of whether you are a celebrity or a celebrity, you have to be at his mercy when you come to this small world. Even some female students or talented women, in order to save their families and favorite people, have to be enjoyed by him in this small world for a few nights, which is not unheard.

He is not a good person, and in the capital, even many people are reluctant to count him as an adult. But since Meng Siyuan entered prison, he has taken unusual care of Meng. No matter how high Xu Youzheng's position is, he will stand above the Nine Heavens after all, and when he reaches the Nine Heavens, it is still these specific people who have the final say. Therefore, Meng Siyuan not only did not suffer from skin and flesh, but his diet was extremely good, he could see the sun regularly every day, and the supply of paper and pen was also unlimited.

Seeing that he was writing again, Chu Mengxiong said: "Meng Ye, you don't have to work so hard, drink tea, eat snacks, these things are not in a hurry, after you go out, you have time to write." He leaned forward and lowered his voice

"Over there in Shandong, I have a few friends who live with me...... You have been waiting for my news in recent days. ”

Meng Siyuan looked at him, although the treatment was not bad, but Meng Siyuan's complexion was not good, his eyes were bloodshot, and he was described as withered. The shape is upright, only the eyes, still full of brilliance. Of course, there are kerosene lamps for lighting, but due to poor lighting, the whole room is still dark, and these eyes are like bright lights, and everywhere they go, the darkness is gone. But the darkness prevailed after all, and the light became more and more weak.

"Friend...... It's a businessman from Jinan. ”

"Yes, yes, it's still Meng Ye who has insight. It is an old guest from Jinan, although it is a first friend with us, but it is an old acquaintance with you. Everyone is trying to figure out a way not to let you be grieved for too long. ”

"You...... Why do you want to do business with them? These people play big, you can't afford it. Just be your warden and don't do anything outside of your power. Especially their business, you don't want to do it. ”

"Thank you Meng Ye for your kindness, our Lao Chu is from a green forest, and he has done a lot of things to cut paths and rob money, and he is not a fair king who does the right thing for heaven, but just a bandit. Wait until you have joined the army, that is, bandits in uniform. I don't have many things, only two things, one is to kill people and the other is to beat people. Relying on these two crafts, but you can make a fortune and get promoted, and play a good woman, you know that there is no salvation in this world. The world is like this, why should I be a good person? I kill people, I hurt people, I do evil, that's because everybody does it. Whether it's the Councillors or the Overseers, they're all the same thing as me, and I can't respect them. When it falls into my hands, it is the green forest that meets the green forest, and it deserves to be cleaned up by me. But Mr. Meng, you are different. ”

"I've seen you work on the railroad and I've heard of your reputation. The chief of the house, living in, can only give your brother money, but you can't even find ten dollars on yourself. There was no gold watch, no soil, I could gnaw on the nest in the prison, and I didn't need eight big bowls to cook, so I knew that I had met a good person, a good person I had only heard about when I was listening to Bao Gong's case on the flyover. Together, there are few good people like you. I don't care what others think of me for such a rare character, I have to respect him, I have to protect him. This business, I am willing to make a profit. As long as you're safe, I'm relieved. ”

Meng Siyuan shook his head, "You don't understand, this business, even if it is a steady profit, I am not willing to do it." This prison is still your decision, and you haven't transferred a few battalions of soldiers over, but someone wants me to do this business, but I can't ask him to do it. ”

"Master Meng, don't be stubborn, the verdict is ...... now"

"The verdict, I know, but I don't care. Since I participated in Ge Ming in the pre-Jin era, I have never been afraid of death. They can take my life at any time, but they don't want to take away my honor and dignity. If I really do something now, many things, I can't say in this life, and for me, it's more sad than death. ”

Chu Mengxiong looked at Meng Siyuan as if he didn't understand, "You read the newspaper, right?" Your brother, but let it go, Shandong heard that the car is being detained now. All trains passing through Shandong were to be detained and ready to transport troops. That's not all, the boat was detained on the water, and grain was not allowed to be transported to the capital. Now in Beijing, he can only rely on buying foreigners' rice to barely maintain supply. Maybe as soon as this pressure is pressed, Zhengfu will bow his head......"

"It's useless. If I leave here, where will Xiao Xu's face go? As soon as this example was opened, the prestige of the government became a laughing stock, and from then on, the government would obey the orders of the overseers, and could not kill a single person or remove an official. Whether it is Mr. Duan or Xiao Xu, they will not tolerate this kind of thing happening. So they, for sure, will not let go. You take this back and show it to your family, and they'll see what I mean. I won't embarrass you. ”

Chu Mengxiong took the note handed by Meng Siyuan, and saw that a short poem was written on it. "Thousands of hammers are carved out of the mountains, and the fire burns as if it were idle. Don't be afraid of broken bones, you have to leave your innocence in the world."

He is not very knowledgeable, and he doesn't know where this poem came from, but he vaguely remembers that it seems to have been written by a loyal man in the previous dynasty. And this loyal minister, who ended up badly, was beheaded by the emperor. For the specific situation, if you want to ask the storyteller in Tianqiao Bookstore, I want to come to Meng Siyuan to compare this poem, and it seems that there is no longer a thought.

"Master Meng, what are you...... Why bother? ”

"Everyone has the heart of love for life and fear of death, this is human nature. Just like people want to live a good life, want to be prosperous and rich, and want to have a beautiful wife and concubine, it is beyond reproach. But if our country really wants to be rich and strong, if it wants to stop being bullied by foreign powers, and if it wants to become a respected country, someone has to stand up and sacrifice. Although Prometheus sacrificed, he brought fire to the world, and his sacrifice was worth it. China needs a Prometheus, and I am willing to do this Prometheus. What I write is what I have learned in the past few years by translating Prussian works, combined with what I have seen and known. Their words and insights are very naïve, but I believe that I am better than the past, and there will always be some people who are better than me in the future, who can see farther than me, and do better than me. If I can give them some enlightenment, it will be the last wealth I have left to the world. ”

"Master Meng, you ...... What kind of thing are you talking about, what are you selling? I haven't heard of it. But I know that people live for a thousand purposes, and once they die, everything is empty. As long as you live, you can take a large group of people to build railways, and you can take a large group of people to mine. That's all for the real thing, and if you have a good one, it's all over. ”

"In prison, perhaps. But at the national level, it's a different story. I used to think that to run an industry and open a factory was to save the country. It wasn't until I was arrested and put in prison in Baoding that I learned that factory industry could only make some people rich, and could not save the corrupt Jin court, so I chose to be a Ge Ming party. After the reunification, I thought that building railways and opening mines would make our country rich and strong. Until he was caught again this time, he also understood that the mine and railway would only become a tool for warlords to accumulate wealth, start a civil war, and slaughter their compatriots. Standing in Duan Zhiquan's position today, if it were someone else, maybe my personal situation would be better, but for the entire country and nation, it would not be of any benefit. Railways and mines can't save China. Only a vigorous change, smashing old shackles, can build a new China. This China will not belong to businessmen like me, nor to warlords with armed force, but to ordinary people, all living beings, and only then can China really hope to defeat foreigners and get out of its own way. What I handed over to Brother Chu was not some nonsense, but tinder. As long as you can keep the fire, sooner or later, you will be able to see the fire burning the world and the four seas boiling! ”

Chu Mengxiong didn't understand very well when he heard it, but vaguely, he could also feel that the blood on his body was gradually getting hotter. He was sure that this feeling had nothing to do with the seasonal temperatures. It was only when I was a teenager that I threw myself into the green forest for the first time, and followed a group of minions who didn't know what to call and shouted to kill the rich and help the poor. I used to think that my blood was already cold, but today I found out that it was still hot.

He took the notebook tremblingly, stuffed it into his arms, and looked at Meng Siyuan again, "Master Meng, you listen to me." Stay in the green mountains, don't be afraid of no firewood, let's die, it's better to live, right? ”

"Brother Chu is kind, Meng Mou understands. However, if Meng is born, all kinds of crimes will become an iron case, and in the end of my life, I can only rely on power to wash away, and at the civil level, my reputation as a big rat is realized. No one wants to believe what a rat says, whether it is enlightening the people's wisdom or awakening the people, they can't do it. I love life, but I love reputation even more, and I am willing to face it calmly and wait for the final judgment to come. ”

Chu Mengxiong left the prison helplessly, and looked back, the darkness in all directions had swallowed up the bright light, and he could no longer see the light. After leaving the prison, he returned home first, and handed Meng Siyuan's note to a few Shandong visitors who listened to the news at his home.

After seeing the note, these mysterious customers, who regarded themselves as businessmen, really said goodbye and left after some discussion. But Chu Mengxiong's heart did not become quieter because of this, but became more and more nervous. He had a premonition that the current Gonghe was standing on the edge of the cliff, and if he stumbled slightly, he would never recover.

took the shovel at home, dug a pit in the courtyard, and buried Meng Siyuan's notebook in it. He couldn't understand Yu Meng Siyuan's words, but he always felt that such a good person must be credible when he spoke. The words on this note must be a good way to save the world, as long as you protect it, in the future, when the old and young masters of Sijiu City mention Chu Mengxiong, they may pick up their big fingers and call them heroes.

With a dream in his heart, the fire seemed to give him infinite strength, and when he was digging in full swing, the courtyard door was kicked open, and more than a dozen Beiyang soldiers rushed in, and before he could react, the person had been pressed to the ground.

Xu Youzheng entered from the outside, looking at the Meng Siyuan notes handed over by his subordinates, flipping them in his hands at will, cold as frost. "Meng Siyuan has some skills, even people like you Chu Mengxiong can be pulled over by him. It can be seen that this person cannot be kept. This kind of thing...... Interesting, I really should let Zhao Guanhou see what is in his Jinlan siblings' brains. Take! ”

The person was pushed into the carriage, and Chu Mengxiong knew very well what the fate that awaited him would be. But he had no fear in his heart, only regret, regret that he failed to keep the fire and failed to complete Mr. Meng's entrustment.

Horse-drawn carriages drove down the streets, making noise over the road. The newsboy's shouting floated through the wall of the car and into Chu Mengxiong's ears.

Cao Zhongshuai responded to Shandong's call and asked the government to release Meng Siyuan unconditionally. If the Zhengfu insists on its own opinion, all the officers and men of the Third Division will implement the general resignation ......"

"Li Xiushuai of Jiangning sent a telegram, hoping that the government would carefully consider the reasonable demands put forward by Shandong, and if he insisted on going his own way and not accepting the will of the people, Li and the soldiers of Jiangsu Province resigned en masse."

"The commander of the 37th Division of the Communist Party sent a telegram to ask the government to shoot all the soldiers of the 37th Division, and the law of the country has been corrected!"

"The Shandong Provincial Assembly has decided to convene an extraordinary meeting two days later to vote on the issue of whether Shandong is independent, and Zhao Guanshuai issued a notice that all the soldiers and soldiers in Shandong will collectively submit their resignations and no longer bear the responsibility of public security in Shandong......"
