"Uncle, you know what you're doing!" Mai Ping asked in a trembling voice, with a cry in his voice, he knew in his heart that the Federation of Trade Unions was afraid that it was already in ruins at this time.

"Wuhan Chairman Wang sent a telegram to enforce revolutionary discipline and ban all illegal organizations." Mai Zilong read according to the book with a straight face.

Mai Ping stood up with his arm on the sofa: "You, you, you betrayed the revolution!" You traitor! "Pointing at Mai Zilong's nose, fire erupted from his eyes.

Mai Zilong raised his hand and slapped him, and his hand was extremely heavy, causing Mai Pingdi to stumble.

"Livestock! I am the chairman of Jiangdong Province, your uncle, you dare to point at me like this, you have no respect for your elders, and your morals are degraded, no wonder everyone outside says that you are a bunch of things without a king and a father, come on! ”

"Yes!" The four guards puffed out their chests.

"Tie up this kid and put him in the ancestral hall to make him think about it." Mai Zilong flicked his sleeves and turned his back.

The guard dragged down the scolding Mai Ping, and the adjutant hurried in and reported: "Chairman, the first battle has been won, countless bandits have been killed and wounded, and the large-scale manhunt is still ongoing, please instruct the chairman." ”

Mai Zilong said: "What is the effect of imported TNT? ”

The adjutant's eyebrows fluttered: "Good guy, you will blow up the gate building of the trade union in one fell swoop, and at least hundreds of people will die." ”

Mai Zilong nodded: "Okay, let the brothers do a good job and purge the rebels, I will be rewarded." ”

The adjutant said: "There are many people who oppose the party, I am afraid that the prison is not enough to close, and the cost of food is also ......."

Mai Zilong waved his hand impatiently: "What is the pass, it will be killed directly and thrown into the river." ”

"Yes!" The adjutant went down murderously.

……

Fifteen minutes ago, a black car drove to the door of the Provincial Federation of Trade Unions, the coachman hurriedly got out of the car, the flow of people in the Federation of Trade Unions was huge, no one paid attention to the car that emitted a lot of cardboard boxes in the back, five minutes later, the car exploded violently, the Federation of Trade Unions instantly turned into a pile of rubble, and hundreds of cadres who were working inside were killed and injured.

Immediately after that, ten trucks came at a hurry, and countless patrol officers in black uniforms jumped out of the cars, they did not come to save people, but to kill people, and when they saw the living, they pulled them out and shot them, and when they saw the half-dead ones, they stabbed them with bayonets, and for a time the General Union of Trade Unions was bleeding.

Not only were the Federation of Trade Unions raided, but also the peasant unions, pickets, special courts, cadre schools, and other institutions were besieged by the police.

At the time of the explosion, Zheng Zeru was on the orders of Mai Ping to come to the special court to execute Liu Cunren.

The poor clerk of the Office of the Superintendent had not lived a few days before he was taken from his home by pickets and locked up in a converted cell in a school.

Liu Cunren felt inexplicable, he didn't break the law, and he didn't offend anyone, why was he arrested in a daze, and it was not the police, not the gendarme, but the worker's master with a felt hat, overalls and a rifle.

The temporary prison was converted from a classroom, there were no iron railings on the windows, the doors were very thin, and dozens of people were locked up in a room, and they were either gentlemen in the city or landlords in the countryside.

Liu Cunren knew that what they said might not be true, but there must have been many prisoners in this room who were really wronged like himself, and most of the workers' pickets and peasant self-defense troops were composed of restless workers in the factories and second-rate people in the countryside who were lazy and hardworking, and it was indispensable to take the opportunity to collect money and recover, but it was a pity that a good end of Jiangdong Province was tossed in just two months, and now firewood, rice, oil and salt are much more expensive than before, and their own family has lost two salaries, and their lives can no longer be maintained.

It was the scorching heat of July, the stench in the cell, Liu Cunren's clothes had not been changed for several days, and the smell was very unpleasant.

"Liu Cunren, come out!" Gunmen knocked on windows and shouted.

Lao Liu hurriedly squeezed out of the crowd, smoothed out the crumpled robe, and supported his glasses: "I'm here." ”

It was Zheng Zeru, his daughter's classmate of Jiang University, Liu Cunren was happy, he knew that his hope was coming.

"Xiao Zheng, is there any news from Ting'er?" Liu Cunren asked with a blank look that he was more concerned about his daughter's whereabouts than his own case.

Zheng Zeru shook his head: "I don't know where Liu Ting is, I'm here to tell you something." He said and motioned for the pickets to stay away.

There was no one around, and Zheng Zeru said again: "Uncle, Liu Ting has caused a big disaster, affecting your whole family, and now I am ordered to come...... to execute you. ”

Liu Cunren looked at him desperately and whispered, "But I didn't kill people and set fires." ”

Zheng Zeru was very anxious: "Don't worry, I'll let you go now, you leave Jiangdong with the whole family immediately, and never come back, understand." ”

The weather-beaten middle-aged man stared into Zheng Zeru's eyes: "Xiao Zheng, I can't affect you." ”

"Don't talk about that, let's go." Zheng Zeru said urgently.

Suddenly, a burst of gunfire rang out, the police of the brigade fell from the sky, the cadres and pickets of the special court were either killed on the spot or disarmed and escorted away, Liu Cunren and Zheng Zeru hid in the corner in the rain of bullets and bullets, but they were safe and sound, it happened that a patrol officer who led the team knew Liu Cunren, and when he saw his unkempt appearance, he asked: "Section Chief Liu, you have also been arrested." ”

Liu Cunren hurriedly said: "Inspector Zhang, I was wronged." ”

Inspector Zhang said: "Hurry up and go home, my wife and children are waiting." ”

looked at Zheng Zeru vigilantly, looking him up and down, this student costume is too similar to ***, Liu Cunren hurriedly covered it up for him: "Inspector Zhang, this is my nephew, who came from out of town and was entrusted by an insider to come to see me in the cell." ”

Inspector Zhang did not doubt him, and said: "Then hurry up, it's not safe on the street these two days, don't go out." ”

The two left in a panic, and more than a dozen people with red armbands on the side of the road knelt on the ground, with a row of black muzzles behind them.

"Ready...... Put! ”

"Bang bang bang!"

Zheng Zeru didn't dare to look, helped Liu Cunren walk away quickly, and came to Liu's house, the family had been out of food for two days, and when he saw his father coming back, a group of children came over and asked him, Liu's mother wiped the corners of her eyes and whimpered.

Liu Cunren pulled his wife aside: "Is there still money at home?" ”

"If you don't have a grain of rice, how can you have any money."

Liu Cunren thought for a moment, walked into the study and took out his treasured inkstone, and carefully held it to Zheng Zeru: "If you get this to the pawnshop, you can exchange it for dozens of yuan, so keep it and run for your life." ”

Zheng Zeru's eyes moistened: "Uncle, I ......"

"Don't say it, you have a life grace for me, take it quickly." Liu Cunren stuffed the inkstone to Zheng Zeru, and turned out a set of his old clothes, and asked Zheng Zeru to change the student clothes, and then make his hair unkempt, and then he was satisfied: "Like a down-and-out literati, this is safe." ”

Zheng Zeru left, used Liu Cunren's inkstone as twenty yuan, bought a ferry ticket and left the provincial capital, and since then he has also left the organization.

Mai Ping also left, and was escorted to his hometown in the countryside by his uncle, but he didn't think about it, but directly spent candles in the cave, and arranged a daughter-in-law for him at home.

The patriarch of the family said that if Mai Ping is confined to the house, he will not be able to raise the next generation, so he will not come out for the rest of his life.

Mai Ping was in pain, every moment in his mind resounded with gunshots and the wails of his comrades, his only channel of venting was to continue to sow seeds on his new daughter-in-law day and night, fortunately, the daughter-in-law arranged for him at home was quite beautiful, and her temper was gentle and generous, but it could also soothe Mai Ping's wounded heart.

……

A week later, the dust settled in the provincial capital, Mai Zilong was the provincial chairman of the police department, he was the best at searching for and arresting people and shooting people, and the affairs of the party were done beautifully and thoroughly, and all the remnants left by Chen Zikun during his reign were cleaned up, for which Mai Zilong was commended by the Wuhan government.

But Chairman Mai was not happy at all, killing so many people, in exchange for just an empty praise, Tang Shengzhi's Eighth Army was stationed in Jiangdong, everywhere apportioned, forcibly requisitioned, the people were miserable, complaining, and those Qiu Ba did not take themselves as the provincial chairman in their eyes at all.

On the desk was an order from the headquarters of the Eighth Army, asking Mai Zilong to raise 500,000 military salaries within a week.

In the study sat eight well-dressed men, all of whom were leaders in the province's industry and commerce, including Gong Jiaxiang, the general manager of Huijin Bank.

"If the army asks for salary, if it is not satisfied, it will definitely poison the place, rank, do me a favor." Mai Zilong Road.

"I'm against it!" Gong Jiaxiang took the case: "This is killing chickens and taking eggs!" How can we Jiangdong have spare money to feed the guest army, when Chen Zikun was in power in the past, he did not go so hard to fish. ”

Mai Zilong was speechless, he is an old-fashioned person, unlike the current party members, who often put a *** hat on the other party, Gong Jiaxiang is a celebrity, a former member of Congress, and his words are reasonable, how can he arrest and shoot people if he disagrees.

"Chairman Mai, raising military salaries is a matter for the provincial government, you can't always look for us to do business, some time ago there was a labor wave, the workers didn't work, my factory has no income, and it is about to close down, I really have no heart." Another match factory owner shook his head and sighed.

"I don't think it's better to drive the Eighth Army away." A vice president of the Chamber of Commerce suggested.

"I'm afraid it's easy to ask God and it's hard to send God." Gong Jiaxiang glanced at Mai Zilong and said meaningfully.

Mai Zilong was very helpless, Tang Shengzhi's army was invited by himself, in order to prevent Chen Zikun from making a comeback, who knew that Chen Zikun would not come, and threw a mess to deal with for himself, until now he realized that what he snatched from Chen Zikun was not the territory of a province, but a giant powder keg that was in the land of internal and external troubles and in the land of four wars, and all kinds of critical points were about to reach and had not yet arrived.

"Chen Zikun, you have made me miserable." Mai Zilong said to himself with a wry smile.
