Chapter 358: The Scapegoat

Under the violence of the military and police, the students who had just been frightened gathered in front of the No. 3 dormitory building, witnessing this tragic scene, the other four surviving female students who suffered **, their nerves were already on the verge of collapse, and they could only describe the atrocities of the tax police intermittently, and the anger suppressed by the students in the bottom of their hearts finally broke out irrepressibly.

They rushed out of the gate of the school and surrounded the arresting troops surrounded by the Northeast Army and the 17th Route Army, and the cries for the punishment of the murderers resounded in the city of Xi'an at dawn.

The matter was quickly reported to Yang Hucheng and Zhang Xueliang, Yang Hucheng was furious, Zhang Xueliang was also furious, and the two ordered that the arresting troops of the provincial party headquarters be disarmed on the spot and escorted to the Xi'an Pacification Office for interrogation.

The tragic incident at the Shaanxi Provincial Normal School quickly spread, and all major schools in Xi'an City expressed solidarity with the students of the Provincial Normal School and organized a procession to rush in the direction of the Normal School.

Until he was dragged out of the car by the soldiers, Gu Shungang didn't know what was going on, and he naturally guessed that Zhang Xueliang and Yang Hucheng were going to rebel, but unfortunately, this important situation could not be reported to the Central Party Department in Nanjing in time.

Lin Muran instinctively felt that something was wrong, and when he arrested these students, he didn't see them so angry, something must be wrong?

After he got out of the car, he asked Zhu Shouliang, and Zhu Shouliang took him and Gu Shungang to the bodies of the two female students who had been covered with white cloths, and the blood stains on the ground were shocking.

After listening to the words of Zhu Shouliang and Zhao Zhizhou, Gu Shungang's head "buzzed", he realized the severity of the situation, there is no tax police to do this kind of thing, the whole case involves the Communist Party, and you can tell the truth there, you Zhang Xueliang and Yang Hucheng, now detain me, in front of Chairman Jiang, see how you explain? Maybe he can also avenge the raid on the provincial party headquarters at the end of August

However, the nature of the incident has changed, even if a few students are killed on the spot, there is a way to end it, but this kind of thing is too bad, it has aroused public anger, Gu Shungang was at a loss and panicked in his heart, this incident has been beyond the scope of his control, and the arrest team led by himself has become the target of public criticism.

Lin Muran was also taken aback, he didn't expect that this kind of thing that aroused public anger would happen, now, it doesn't matter whether these students are suspected of being red, the public's attention and attention have been focused on the six murdered students, the important thing is to quickly find out those tax policemen who did evil, hand them over to Zhang Yang to deal with, lose the pawn and protect the car, and he and Gu Shungang can get out safely.

He was just about to chase Zhu Shouliang and Zhao Zhizhou, he was familiar with these two people, and his friendship was not bad, Lin Muran was not like Gu Shungang, he was usually domineering and had a very high opinion of himself, in all walks of life in Xi'an, he did not have a good impression and good popularity, Lin Muran was confident that he could still talk to Zhu Zhao and the others.

As soon as he raised his foot, he was hit with a few rifle butts on his back, his heart was desperate, things were worse than he imagined, Zhang Yang was determined to grasp this matter, he and Gu Shungang were both fierce, and the prospects were not good.

Gu Shungang over there is no better, it is even worse than Lin Muran's treatment, a hemp rope, tie him strongly, and don't put it on the ground, with a few muzzles on his head and on his head, his nose is blue and his face is swollen, looking at that appearance, he suffers from skin and flesh.

The students of the normal school have arrived here one after another, and a large number of students are rushing over behind them, and the students' voices are excited and demanding that the murderers be severely punished.

Zhao Zhizhou and Zhu Shouliang tried hard to persuade and promised to ask Zhang Yang and the two chiefs to give the students a satisfactory explanation before they could get out.

In fact, it is not the first time that Zhang Yang and the Shaanxi Provincial Party Department have clashed, at the end of August and early September this year, the agents of the Central Committee of the Shaanxi Provincial Party Department arrested Zhang Xueliang's secretary, the student representative of Northeastern University who was exiled to Xi'an, and Song Li, Ma Shaozhou, and Guan Peicang, who were actually underground party members.

Zhang Xueliang was furious when he heard the news, and ordered his guard chief Tan Hai to lead the guard battalion to surround the provincial party headquarters, not only snatching out the three arrested people, but also searching and raiding the homes of the Shaanxi provincial party headquarters, completely turning everything upside down, and all the people in the office building of the provincial party headquarters were detained in one room, causing the provincial party headquarters to be paralyzed for five days. ”

At that time, Chairman Chiang was concentrating his energies on dealing with the Liangguang Incident, and the elite units of the Central Army's descendants had also been transferred to the Hunan, Guangdong, and Guizhou fronts to confront the Guangdong-Guangxi coalition forces.

Under the mediation of Chairman Chiang and members of the state government, the Shaanxi Provincial Party Department made serious concessions, not only publicly announcing in the newspaper that the arrested three people from Northeastern University were not guilty, but also apologizing to Zhang Xueliang in person.

On the one hand, Zhang Xueliang and Yang Hucheng sent a telegram to the Nanjing Nationalist Government explaining the truth of the incident at the Shaanxi Provincial Normal School and asking the Nanjing State Government to give a satisfactory answer.

Because Gu Shungang and Lin Muran were the leaders of this search and arrest operation, they couldn't escape from such a strict incident, and they were detained alone in a room, just waiting for Zhang Xueliang and Yang Hucheng to deal with their opinions in the dark, and then make a decision.

After the victimized female students identified on the spot, the 28 tax policemen of the squad were pulled out one by one, tied up with flowers, and taken aside alone, and the soldiers who guarded them were so angry that their hands trembled, especially the soldiers of the 17th Route Army, all of whom were locals in Shaanxi.

It's time like this, the captain who relied on his brother-in-law to be the captain of the Shaanxi Provincial Tax Police was still unwilling to be caught, struggling desperately, and shouting in his mouth, "Isn't it just playing with a few poor students?" What a big deal, what kind of woman I haven't seen, I want to see my brother-in-law, you dare to move my finger, my brother-in-law can't spare you"

People, can't see the fire, don't know whether to live or die, is the biggest sorrow, he doesn't have to think about it with a pig brain, do such a thing, even the king of heaven Lao Tzu can't save him, let alone his brother-in-law, it is estimated that at this time, his brother-in-law can scold the eight generations of this kid's ancestors, and he is full of cold sweat in that head, worrying, restless, for fear that Zhang Xueliang and Yang Hucheng will find him to settle accounts.

Yang Hucheng walked out of the building of the Appeasement Office with a few guards, this kid knew Yang Hucheng, the leading figure in Shaanxi, the citizens of Xi'an and the military and police gendarins, I don't know.

He thought that a savior had come, and shouted desperately: "Director Yang, for the sake of my brother-in-law's face, let me go, it's okay for you to talk to my brother-in-law when you meet, right?" This kid even begged and threatened, he thought that Yang Hucheng would have to give face to his brother-in-law's golden signboard.

Who is my brother-in-law? It was hand and eye to the sky, and the top was directly connected with Uncle Song Ziwen, you Yang Hucheng didn't dare to do anything to me, that is, he pretended to be in front of his subordinates, so he tied me up.

But this rope is too tight, and it's uncomfortable, when did we suffer this kind of crime, it's all these stinky soldiers who are very bad, almost my arm is broken, and when I go out, I have to find someone to do you.

Yang Hucheng knew from the interrogation records that it was those beasts who did the evil things, and he just wanted to see what the faces of these tax policemen who relied on the power of the country's uncle were there.

As soon as he arrived in the courtyard, he heard this kid shouting, and he also carried out his brother-in-law, and immediately understood that this kid was the leader of the work.

Yang Hucheng's face was pale, his teeth were clucking, the muscles on his face were bursting out of anger, and his eyes were full of cold light.

Walking in front of this kid, this kid saw Yang Hucheng taking care of him, and thought it was his brother-in-law's name, so he suppressed Yang Hucheng, and his attitude became more and more arrogant, and he couldn't even hide the smug look on his face.

Yang Hucheng stared at him for a long time, and looked at him in the heart, suddenly, Yang Hucheng pulled out the matching gun, aimed at the kid's head is a shot, "Bah" a gunshot, such a close distance, the powerful impact of the bullet, the whole kid was thrown backwards, and the white brain was mixed with bright red blood, splashing several soldiers around.

No one thought that Yang Hucheng, who is usually calm and wooden, would have such a violent side, Yang Hucheng turned around, didn't look at this garbage, and ordered the soldiers: "Drag it out to feed the dogs, don't dirty my place"

There was silence in the courtyard, and Yang Hucheng's shot also showed his attitude, the tax policemen who did evil to the female students last night were paralyzed on the ground at that time, and there were even a few guys, who were incontinent on the spot, wetting their crotch with urine, and they no longer had the rampant energy when they were evil.

By noon, the situation had further expanded, and tens of thousands of students surrounded the building of the Shaanxi Pacification Office, and there were bursts of angry shouts, and Gu Shungang and Lin Muran, who were detained in a single room, trembled in their hearts, and their heads broke out in a cold sweat.

At this time, Chairman Jiang was also beyond the reach of the whip, the elite troops of the Central Army had just left the front line of Hunan, Guangdong, and Guizhou and were on their way to Shaanxi, when the old man scolded Gu Shungang and Lin Muran for dozens of words of "Niang Xipi", and then called Zhang Xueliang and Yang Hucheng back.

If it is verified to be true, the law should be rectified on the spot, and Zhang Yang and Zhang Yang will carry out the matter on behalf of the central government and explain it to the people.

Gu Shungang, chairman of the Shaanxi Provincial Party Department, as the leader of the team, was unable to restrain his subordinates when performing his official duties, so he caused this incident, and dismissed Gu Shungang from his post as chairman of the Shaanxi Provincial Party Department and sent him back to the Central Party Department for examination.

There must be a result of the incident, and someone must bear the result, a black pot cannot fall to the ground, Gu Shungang unfortunately became a scapegoat, and the foundation of his business in Shaanxi for many years collapsed and left in vain.
