Chapter 22: The Hero of Misfortune

With Xiong Xiling's assurance, Xue Pingshun was relieved to return to the depot, he was afraid that the drivers would be too careful, so he didn't tell everyone about it.

In the evening, Xiao Shunzi came back from work, and told everyone that the students burned down the house of the traitor Cao Rulin and beat Zhang Zongxiang.

"I heard that the statue of the Japanese emperor in the house of Cao Rulin, a traitor, is still pure gold!" He took great pains to tell the coachmen the news of his hearsay.

The coachmen were squatting to eat, and one of the coachmen wondered: "The Chinese don't offer their ancestors at home, but for the Japanese emperor, what is he trying to do?" ”

Xiao Shunzi explained: "He's a traitor, a lackey of the Japanese, how did you come to be such a big house as him?" It's all kickbacks from the Japanese who eat. ”

The coachmen didn't seem to understand, listening to Xiao Shunzi's spitting talk, Xue Baoqing came back, listened to it for a while, and suddenly interjected: "Pull it down, all you hear are rumors, in fact, the fire in Zhaojialou was set by Cao Rulin himself." ”

Xiao Shunzi said: "Hey, it's strange, Cao Rulin was stupid and couldn't do it, so he set fire to his own house." ”

Baoqing pursed his lips and said teasingly: "You don't understand, he has traitorous documents hidden in his house, and he is afraid that he will be searched by the students, so he simply burns them all." ”

Xiao Shunzi suddenly realized: "So that's the case, this old boy is really ruthless, I think he not only wants to destroy the evidence, but also wants to burn the students to death." ”

Baoqing nodded: "I guess it also means this." ”

Xue Pingshun walked over with a calm face and shouted: "The food can't stop your mouth, hurry up and eat the corpse, what nonsense." ”

The coachmen suddenly stopped eating and didn't dare to speak, and Xiao Shunzi and Baoqing also stuck out their tongues and snickered.

"Why didn't Da Kunzi come back?" Baoqing asked in a low voice.

"Maybe I'll stay overnight." Xiao Shunzi smiled mysteriously.

……

In the detention center of the National Police Department, the police interrogated and recorded the arrested students one by one, and arrested 33 people in the case of burning Zhaojialou, including 20 from Peking University, 8 from Higher Normal University, 2 from Industrial School, 1 from CUHK, 1 from Huiwen University, and one who was not a student and was a coachman.

These thirty-three people all claimed that they were just watching the excitement near Zhao's house, and did not participate in the arson and beating incident, they were all student uncles, Wenqu Xing went down to earth, and even the coachman was a character with a background, Chief Xu said hello and said that he would take care of it, so how dare the police torture, they could only be locked up first, waiting for Shangfeng to speak.

All the prisoners were photographed, their handprints were pressed, and then they were put back in their cells, and some of the students began to be afraid, but Kuang Husheng and the others still talked and laughed, as if going to prison was a very glorious thing.

Chen Zikun is a little anxious, it is said that Yao Yilei should also find a way to get herself out, the matter has dragged on until now, I am afraid that something will change.

The next day, celebrities, Wang Daxie, Wang Chonghui, Lin Changmin and others came forward to bail the arrested students, but the Police Department refused; The principals of 14 colleges and universities jointly asked to see President Xu Shichang, Premier Qian Nengxun, and Education Minister Fu Zengxiang to demand the release of the students, but senior government officials refused.

Not only did he not meet with the principals, Xu Shichang also ordered the National Police Department to strictly prevent the recurrence of such incidents, and if there was any disruption to order and those who refused to accept the pressure, they would be immediately arrested and prosecuted.

The president of the university is the most respected person in society, and his status is much higher than that of government officials, usually not to mention the joint name of the president, it is just a single president, who wants to see the president, the prime minister, is also a matter of one sentence, this time he was coldly rejected, which is enough to show the seriousness of the situation, and there is gossip that this is the result of the anger of the emperor Duan Qirui, and Duan Qirui is angry because his Japanese master scolded him.

For a while, the clouds were overcast, and Beijing was shrouded in darkness before the storm.

Xu Shuzheng, vice minister of the army, received the file sent by the police department, and looked at the young faces on the case file, he sighed slightly: "Why do you want to be a thief......

Suddenly, Xu Jichang's gaze stayed on the last page of the file, the person in the photo was so familiar, he suddenly stood up, stomped back and forth in the room a few steps, picked up the case file again, and used a brush to hook two mustaches on the face of the person in the photo.

"That's him!" Xu Shuzheng smashed his fist on the desk, stepping on the iron shoes and finding nowhere to go, the Soviet Russian spies who made a big fuss in the Anfu Club and killed eight guards were actually hidden among the students, no need to ask, the burning of Zhao's house was out of their conspiracy!

"Someone's coming!" Xu Shuzheng shouted, and the adjutant entered in response and saluted: "What do you want from the deputy chief?" ”

Xu Shuzheng said: "Bring the latest month's "Times". ”

The adjutant quickly brought the newspaper, Xu Shuzheng quickly read it, and found what he needed after a few minutes.

The newspaper prominently printed a striking headline: "The daughter of the deputy minister of the Ministry of Communications has been living with the driver for a week!" ”

In the text below, the name of the driver who took the peach blossom luck is mentioned, it is Chen Zikun, and if you look at the case file of the Police Department, it is also Chen Zikun.

This is no coincidence! Xu Shuzheng pondered, the scene in the Six Nations Hotel, as well as the murder of the Japanese spy, all appeared in front of him, and all this was no coincidence.

The tentacles of the Soviet Russian spies stretched out long enough, not only colluding with Lin Changmin and others, but also trying their best to get close to the cadres of the transportation department, no matter what their motives, but there is always only one purpose, that is, to overthrow the current government.

How to deal with this Soviet and Russian spy has become Xu Shuzheng's problem, it is simple to shoot him, but it will definitely cause a backlash from public opinion, after all, this guy has a disguised identity, and he is also mixed with troublesome students, things are even more complicated, judging from the current complicated situation, it is not appropriate for him to make a move.

Xu Shuzheng quickly thought of the trick of borrowing a knife to kill people in the thirty-six plans, and he could stay out of the matter and let the Japanese fight with the Soviet Russians, thinking of this, he tore off the last page of the case file, put it in an envelope, and sent someone to the Japanese legation.

……

Xu Shuzheng's political nerves are also very sensitive, after the failure of the principal's joint bail of the students, Beijing and even the whole country quickly fell into a wave of condemnation of the government and solidarity with the students, celebrities from all walks of life have come forward to support the students, and even senior officials in the government who are close to the direct line have also begun to act, and Fu Zengxiang, the chief of education, has repeatedly submitted his resignation.

Under this pressure, the government had to compromise and allow celebrities such as Lin Changmin to release the students on bail.

On 7 May, 33 suspects who had burned Zhao's house were released on bail from the detention center of the Jingshi Police Department. Then a few hundred people cheered together, and a group of schoolgirls came running and put garlands around their necks, and then more people rushed over and carried the thirty-three people on their shoulders and rode away.

Chen Zikun also had a wreath around his neck, and was carried by two students to walk, facing the welcoming crowd, he was a little dizzy with excitement, and the sun was shining in the sky, and it was extremely bright.

In the alley in the distance, two guys with stocky figures and beards pressed the brim of their top hats and turned to leave.

Lin Changmin held a banquet at the Huixiantang Restaurant north of Shichahai to suppress the horror of the arrested students, and celebrities such as Xiong Xiling and Wang Daxie were present, and the scene was spectacular, and Chen Zikun also accepted a toast with the students, which made him feel a little ashamed.

"Actually, I didn't really do anything." He explained to Xiong Xiling, who came to toast.

"Hehe, I understand you, if you want to do something, I'm afraid Zhang Zongxiang won't be seriously injured." Xiong Xiling smiled knowingly, raised his glass and touched it with him, and said, "Respect our hero." ”

Everyone around raised their glasses: "To the heroes!" ”

Chen Zikun felt that his face was a little feverish, and he had become a hero by mistake, and he had known that he had gone up to kick Zhang Zongxiang twice, or instructed the students to set fires, and the fourth was a southerly day, so it should be lit at the upwind outlet...... But it's too late to say this, the point is that he enjoys the feeling of being a hero.

Lin Changmin raised his glass and said, "Students, be quiet." ”

There was silence all around.

"Students, just now Lin received an order from the Presidential Office, initiated by our Foreign Affairs Association, and the National Assembly, which was supposed to be held today, aimed at awakening the people's consciousness and saving the sovereignty of Shandong, was banned by them without reason!" With the last roar, Lin Changmin waved his arms angrily, his eyes full of sadness and unyielding.

There was a commotion among the students, and some people raised their arms and shouted: "Down with the traitorous government!" ”

The slogans came and went, and Chen Zikun also roared a few times, shouting enthusiastically.

Lin Changmin stretched out his hand and pressed it, and then said: "The resignations of the three traitorous politicians Cao Rulin, Zhang Zongxiang, and Lu Zongyu were actually rejected by the president, and they praised them for saying that they are honest and honest, which is simply ridiculous and shameless!" Could it be that if you sell your country meritoriously, you should be judged if you love the country? ”

Another roar of rage.

After the meal, the owner of Huixiantang said that in order to express his admiration for the patriotic students, he invited this meal, Lin Changmin and others were greatly moved, even the people in the market have a sense of patriotism, and the people who live in the temple are full of traitors, but it is sad and lamentable.

……

Although Johnson didn't like the Japanese in his heart, he knew that these energetic dwarfs would never give up until they reached their goals, so he shrugged his shoulders and picked up the phone to call the hotel's personnel department, asking them to cooperate with Mr. Yamamoto.

Takeo Yamamoto came to the personnel department of the hotel, carefully checked the employee files, and finally locked on a face, and in the photo, Xiao Junzi smiled brightly.

"This is Tom, the waiter of the hotel, who has always been clever and capable, and is about to promote him to be the foreman, what are you looking for him?" The head of the personnel department introduced.

Takeo Yamamoto said casually: "He picked up the wallet of Counselor Araki of the Legation and sent it back, I am here to thank him, can you ask him to come." ”

"Absolutely." The manager of the personnel department immediately picked up the phone and called the front desk and asked someone to call Tom.

Xiao Shunzi was flirting with the waitress in the cloakroom when a colleague came over and said, "Tom, the personnel department called you over." ”

"What's the matter?"

"I don't know, I guess I'm going to promote you to be the foreman."

"Wanruigud!" Xiao Shunzi stood proudly in front of the mirror and tidied up his bow tie, happily took a shortcut to the personnel department, and when he passed through the corridor, he could see the window of the personnel department, he looked over happily, but saw a quite familiar face.

This person is a Japanese spy, and for a while he often stayed at the Rokkoku Hotel waiting to catch "Julian", that is, Da Kunzi!

Xiao Shunzi squatted on the ground with a swish, for fear that the Japanese spies would see him, he crawled out of the corridor tremblingly, ran out of the hotel directly, called a foreign car, and said breathlessly: "Quick, go to the hair alley in Xuanwumen!" ”
