Chapter 535: The bustle in front of the Capitol

The bustling market and the busy street cup are Caifan Yi, Nancheng, Beijing

Vegetable market entrance. Located at the intersection of Guangningmen Avenue and Xuanwumen Avenue, it is not only an intersection, but also the vegetable vendors outside the city used to traffic vegetables into the city through Guangningmen, so it was named "Caishikou". "Here vegetable vendors are gathered, people come and go, very lively, and because of this, this is usually regarded as a natural execution ground, when the Empress Dowager Cixi carried out a coup d'Γ©tat, the "Hundred Days Restoration" came to an abrupt end, after that, the arrested reform faction "Six Gentlemen" was cut off at the entrance of the vegetable market, and now the Qing court has been finished, the republican government was established, and the law pays attention to one. "Civilization." Therefore, the death penalty has been abolished. The Caishikou no longer served as an execution ground, and the republican government's execution ground was in the suburbs, and executions were also carried out by shooting.

After the Republic. This vegetable market is still a place where vegetable vendors gather, but the order is much stronger than in the previous Qing Dynasty. And now the city government is planning to transform this place into a more orderly large-scale trade market, and the person who took over the undertaking is the old shopkeeper of Wuhan dismantling industry, Mr. Huang Hancheng, and now, this Huang boss is taking a group of people to go around the area of this vegetable market, carrying out the early stage of the work.

In the first two years of the industrial exhibition, the imitation weaving factory invested by Huang Hancheng was very prosperous, and the profits rolled in, which not only saved the dying "Huang Zhicheng." The old store, and it also gave Huang Hancheng sufficient capital to expand the scope of business, plus he had a good relationship with Gao Tingbi, the boss of China Financial United Bank. As a result, Huang Hancheng's career is indeed thriving, and in today's Chinese industrial industry, he Boss Huang is also a well-known industrialist.

Since the Caishikou renovation project is a key project that the municipal government is very concerned about, Huang Hancheng is now accompanied by several senior officials of the municipal government, as well as a political propaganda commissar.

Although the center has decided to keep the old city of Beijing and build another new city in the surrounding area, but the retention of the old city is not the same as immutable, at least, it is necessary to demolish the dilapidated old houses left in the former Qing Dynasty, the center and garden experts are more concerned about the ancient buildings with artistic value, rather than these low-rise buildings that seem to collapse at any time, as for the original residents here, most of them signed up for the reclamation group of the three eastern provinces after receiving the compensation from the center, and went to the northeast, where They were given at least fifteen acres of land each, which was much better than working as a day laborer in the city. In order to buy the vegetable market, Huang Hancheng and several partners can be said to have tried their best, they are optimistic about the current situation, and they are also optimistic about the central government's ability to control the situation, so they decided to do a big job here and turn this vegetable market into a new business district.

Huang Hancheng pondered while walking around, this investment is also a bit risky. He could not but carefully study the details of this investment plan, Beijing and Tianjin are not as good as Shanghai and Wuhan, and the economic vitality here is far less than that of the heavy industrial zone, but at present, Shanghai, Wuhan and other places are saturated with investment, and the profit margin is limited. Huang Hancheng can only take precautions to establish a foothold in the north first, paving the way for future investment in the three eastern provinces.

It was half a morning, and it was almost noon, when several accompanying officials suggested going to the government guest house for dinner, and Huang Hancheng readily agreed, but before they could get into the car, they saw a car turning around the street. It was an American-made convertible Ford car, which was half-old, and there were two people in long shirts sitting in the car, and the driver Huang Hancheng recognized it at a glance, it was Tian Jinfu.

In the past, when Tian Jinfu was the captain of Zhao Beiwei, he had met this Huang Hancheng a few times, and the two were also old acquaintances. So Huang Hancheng hurriedly stood on the side of the road to say hello.

Tian Jinfu also saw Huang Hancheng, so he stopped the car.

"Boss Huang. When did you come to Beijing? Tian Jinfu took off his goggles and asked.

"Just arrived the other day."

Huang Hancheng smiled and arched his hand, people who do business want to tie up with the powerful, Huang Hancheng also knows that Tian Jinfu is no longer the captain of Zhao Bei's guard, he is now the director, in charge of intelligence work, and he is the president's right-hand man, not to mention his subordinates. It was officials from other places who came to Beijing to report on their work who met him. Then you have to politely shout, "Bureau." ”

Huang Hancheng was thinking about how to get close to the other party, but unexpectedly, Tian Jinfu had already gotten out of the car, opened the car door, pointed to the empty seat next to him, and said, "Mr. Huang, are you free now?" If I'm free, I'd like to ask you to do something for me. ”

"Available. If you are free, I don't know what Chief Tian commands? Huang Hancheng's eyebrows fluttered and nodded.

"Then please get in the car. I'll take you there, and when you get to the place, you'll know. Tian Jinfu said.

Mr. Huang complained to the city officials. sin, got into this car, Tian Jinfu moved the car. Boss Huang was pulled directly to the train station.

Arrived at the place. Huang Hancheng understood what Tian Jinfu was doing when he took him to the train station.

Today the railway station came two passenger trains, the car is all Hubei immigrants from the three eastern provinces, almost 5,000 people, they originally only walked through Beijing Station, but due to the Beijing-Shenyang Railway Shanhaiguan section of a train rear-end accident, a train pulling coal truck derailed and overturned, resulting in the entire railway traffic paralysis, the resumption of traffic may take a day or two, as a result, these two have arrived at the station of the immigration train can only wait here, due to the hot weather, the immigrants can not stay in the carriage, just in the station everywhere, These poor people, who have never traveled far before, naturally do not know what "hygiene" is. It's already polite to urinate anywhere, coupled with the dialect problem, and as a result, there was some small friction with the station staff, and the Gongyi dog station was a headache. I had no choice but to ask the Ministry of Railways for help. As a result, Zhao Bei made a phone call, and the Military Intelligence Bureau immediately dispatched a phone call, and the city was full of people who could speak the Hubei dialect, and as a result, Tian Jinfu pulled Huang Hancheng's strong men, as for the two people in the same car, they were also pulled from the Hubei Guild Hall, one was from De'an, the other was from Huangzhou, and as for Huang Hancheng, he was from Xianning, who lived in Hankou.

In other words, Huang Hancheng went to the train station. is here to act as a dialect translator, operating the dismantling industry for many years, going south and north, this official Huang Hancheng can speak, and he can basically understand the local dialects of Hubei.

In fact, the problem is not big, these immigrants are also organized, so Huang Hancheng arrived at the train station, and after only half an hour, the order of the railway station was restored, and the rest was the work of the government.

Tian Jinfu still drove Huang Hancheng back. During his stay in Beijing, Huang Hantian also lived in the Hubei Guild Hall, so the car drove straight to the Hubei Guild Hall.

But after returning to the hall, the hall was empty, except for a few handymen, no one else was in the hall, Huang Hancheng and Tian Jinfu asked, and learned that everyone went to the Capitol, because there was a bustle.

The Capitol is where the National Assembly meets and handles government affairs, and the network was completed at the end of last year. It is a magnificent two-storey building, completely Western-style, and it has not been in operation for long, and so far the National Assembly has only held two plenary sessions there; Li Yuanhong and Tang Hualong's offices are also there.

The Capitol is a solemn place, how can it be lively?

Tian Jinfu and Huang Hancheng were curious, so the two got into the car again and drove to the Capitol.

The Capitol is located in Tianhao, Dongtangzi Hutong, close to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and far away from the Hubei Hall, and due to traffic jams all the way, it took Tian Jinfu and Huang Hancheng about 20 minutes to arrive in front of the Capitol.

Wait until the place. The two were dumbfounded, only to see a sea of people in front of the Capitol, like a temple fair.

It turned out that while he was busy at the train station, a group of congressmen carrying slogans and banners went to the National Assembly building to demonstrate, demanding that the National Assembly immediately convene a plenary session to discuss the issue of the "Ministry of the Interior's No. 1 Project" and give justice to the members of the Jiangsu National League.

No need to ask. The members of Congress who demonstrated in front of the Capitol must have all been members of the National League

Member.

There were not many congressmen who directly participated in the demonstration, only a few dozen, but the "support group citizens' group" they brought with them was a large number, no less than 1,000 people.

No way, since the Qing Dynasty, the old and young masters in the capital have liked to join in the fun, especially the banner people, and the intention of coaxing is obvious.

There were so many people gathered in front of the Capitol that newspaper vendors from all over the city rushed here and shouted loudly. Solicitation of business.

"Outside, outside" Ministry of the Interior No. 1 Project "broken! Xu Baoshan, the mastermind behind the assassination case, has been ambushed in Nanjing! ”

As the overseer of Jiangsu, Xu Baoshan did not want to serve the country, but shielded his subordinates for smuggling, and even directly participated in smuggling. He is greedy! ”

"Wang Zhaoming, the new governor of Jiangsu, went to Nanjing, Xu Baoshan was worried that the crime would be exposed, so he sent someone to assassinate Wang Xian, who was not only greedy, but also brutal! The task force was ordered to investigate the case, and Xu Wei used his identity as the team leader to confuse the public, frame innocent citizens, fabricate charges, and deceive the center. ”

"Xu Baoshan has 20,000 heavy soldiers, and in order to prevent his dog from jumping off the wall in a hurry, the center has to use thunderous means and decisively execute him by military law! As an active-duty soldier, Xu should be subject to military law, and the center's move is reasonable and legal, and it is more in line with the will of the people. ”

"From the beginning to the end of this case, I only listened to the words of the center, how much of it is true and how much is false, but there is nothing, no one knows, no one cares."

"If you listen to both, you will be clear, and if you listen partially, you will be dark. The central government ordered the Ministry of the Interior to handle the case, but the Ministry of Ran Zheng only listened to Xu Baoshan's words and brazenly agreed to arrest innocent citizens and members of the House of Representatives, which was really stupid and incompetent. If the central government wants to explain it clearly, it must be dealt with strictly by the Ministry of the Interior! ”

The shouts of the newspaper sellers made people a little dazed, and Huang Hancheng hurriedly bought a few copies of the newspaper that had just been published and read them carefully. It turned out that just last night, the "No. 1 Project of the Ministry of the Interior" took a dramatic turn, and 6 Jianzhang, deputy head of the task force, shot Xu Baoshan, the leader of the task force, on the cruiser "Feihong." Later, the "Feihong" photographed and electrified to announce that the assassination case had come to light. Xu Baoshan is the real mastermind of the assassination. As for the "suspects" who were previously arrested, they were all framed by Xu Baoshan, and after Xu Baoshan's execution, the central government has agreed to release those "suspects"

The turn of events was too sudden and unexpected, and it is no wonder that the press circles were at a loss, and there were those who praised the decisive action of the central government, criticized the central government's improper handling, complained about Xu Baoshan's grievances, questioned the investigation measures of the entire case, and even wondered whether there was a mutiny on the side of the navy, and this telegram was a false transmission of the central order.

Obviously, the members of the National League in Congress were better informed than the press, and they were not only relieved, but also decided to strike back, and thus the scene in front of the Capitol appeared.
