Xu Kan knows this person Huang Ke, he is the Minister of the Interior, and he can be regarded as an old comrade. In the later part of the Revolution, he joined the Kuomintang and joined the revolution, and later joined Kong Xiangxi, and together with him promoted the currency reform of fiat currency.

During the Battle of Nanjing, Xu Kan was also one of the few central officials who stayed in Nanjing, and Huang Ke was quite impressed by these points.

There are abilities, and so are bones; is a person who belongs to Kong Xiangxi's faction, and it is inevitable that he will sometimes contradict Huang Ke.

Huang Ke, an important member like him, naturally wouldn't move him, and he couldn't move easily, but his blatant interference with police law enforcement really made Huang Ke angry.

What made him even more angry was that Chen Tieying, a special police inspector in a black police uniform and a golden can, was too sleek, and he actually withdrew the investigation of the Kong family without a word, simply treating the law as a plaything.

Seeing him, Huang Ke was angry in his heart.

"You bear it?" Huang Ke stood up, his eyes swept over Chen Tieying like a knife, "What do you bear?" The face of the state and the apparatus of the state are which of you can afford it! ”

The last sentence is not a rhetorical question, but an affirmation, Chen Tieying actually cried a little.

"Do you think I don't know? You Chen Tieying is a well-known good man in the Nanjing government, you don't want to offend Kong Xiangxi, and you don't want to offend Xu Kan, are you willing to offend those defenseless people? Huang Ke clasped his hands behind his back and scolded sharply.

Chen Tieying wept bitterly and confessed on the ground, and the wailing sound made the guards outside the door hear it clearly.

"Since you like to be a good man, then don't be the director of the police administration, and I'll ask the Central Organization Department to find you an idle job to do when you go back." After speaking, Huang Ke got up and prepared to leave.

Chen Tieying, who had never thought that he had collapsed on the ground, would stop in front of Huang Ke.

When the guard at the door saw this, he immediately pushed the door in, and the pistol in his hand was also loaded.

Huang Ke waved his hand and motioned for them to go out.

Chen Tieying saw that Huang Ke was willing to listen, and immediately said with a straight face: "Chairman of the committee, I know that I am deeply responsible for my crimes, but please give me a chance to atone for my sins." I don't want to be taken off my police uniform like this, please let me take off my police uniform after this case is completed. ”

Huang Ke looked Chen Tieying up and down, looking at his expression, this remark should have come from the bottom of his heart. After all, he is an active practitioner of modern police reform, and he can be regarded as a person with ambitions and merits, and if he can do it well this time, it may still be possible to retain his original post.

Huang Ke looked at him for three seconds, and after three seconds, Huang Ke said: "Okay, I'll give you two days, if this incident is still in this state across the country, you can go directly to the organization department to resign." ”

After speaking, Huang Ke walked forward. Chen Tieying bowed his head again and again in the back, and kept repeating in his mouth, "Thank you, Chairman!" ”

……

At the gate of the Central Executive Committee, more and more people gathered here, and by 5 o'clock in the afternoon, more than 5,000 students and young people had come from all over the country to petition.

More than 5,000 people gathered together to block the wide asphalt road in front of the building, waving the national flag and slogans in their hands, and shouting loudly such slogans as "strictly investigate the corrupt criminals" and "return the truth to the people." Worse still, they began to storm the gates in an organized manner.

The officers and men of the police and security services had no choice but to organize a wall of men with their hands in hand, and the defense of resistance prevented these people from rushing in.

At this time, the Central Security Department had already formed an on-site command group with several departments of the Police Administration, and Director Chen Tieying personally ordered the mobilization of many armed police forces to come to support.

However, in order to prevent accidents, Fourteen Tsai still transferred another battalion of military police from the Nanjing Garrison Headquarters to maintain order.

Fourteen Tsai is a major general, the head of the Central Guard Department, and one of the standing committee members of the Nanjing Garrison Command, so he can directly dispatch military police units without asking for instructions.

The ten* trucks in which the gendarmes were traveling drove directly from the garrison headquarters to the Central Executive Committee building. Ten rounds of crunching stopped, and under the command of the commanders, one by one, steel helmets and leather boots, carrying canvas bullet belts and * military police, jumped out of the car to form a team, and after a while, these officers and soldiers with steel guns formed three squares.

Ye Shouxin, commander of the 1st Military Police Battalion of the Nanjing Garrison Command, ran over and said: "Report, the 1st Military Police Battalion has been assembled, please instruct!" ”

Fourteen boys walked over and glanced around and said, "Put the guns back!" ”

"What?" Ye Shouxin couldn't believe his ears a little, there were more than 5,000 people outside, and there were only a few hundred of them, even if you added the officers and soldiers of the police and security department in the outermost part, there were less than 1,000 people at best.

Now let them all lay down their arms, the people on the other side are several times more than them, and once something happens, it is unimaginable.

"Let your soldiers put their weapons back and form a human shield to defend the perimeter of the Phalanx." Fourteen Tsai said it very clearly this time, and Ye Shouxin understood and confirmed it. Although he was a little reluctant, he ran over and gave the order.

At this time, a colonel from a guard office next to Fourteen Tsai came over and said, "Bureau, there are more and more people coming now, wouldn't it be a little inappropriate if we don't have weapons?" Why don't we keep one as a backup? ”

Fourteen Tsai actually didn't know the bottom in his heart, after all, he had never dealt with this kind of thing, in fact, if he followed his approach, he should have fired a warning to disperse the crowd, but Huang Ke's anger in the morning was vivid, and he didn't dare to deliberately offend anymore.

Seeing that the situation is becoming more and more tense, it is no longer possible to resort to conventional methods.

"Well, battalion commander, let your men leave a company with weapons on standby." Fourteen Tsai shouted to the commander of the gendarmerie battalion, and the commander of the gendarmerie battalion ran over in a hurry.

"Sir, is this company allotted live ammunition?" The commander of the gendarmerie battalion was a soldier, so he naturally knew that a gun without live ammunition was a burning stick.

Fourteen Tsai frowned, thought for a moment and said, "The one who stayed behind was even issued a magazine with live ammunition!" Wait, five blank rounds are distributed before the live ammunition is issued. ”

"Yes!" After saying that, the commander of the gendarmerie battalion went to give the order. The school yard in front of the building was constantly sounding various passwords, and the gendarmes who had retrieved their weapons began to run towards the door in a group at the sound of the passwords.

……

At this time, Huang Ke was standing in the office looking at everything that was happening below.

From this position, he can just see what is happening below. Because of the light control at night to prevent Japanese planes from sneaking in, except for the few street lights, many of the windows in the building have been closed tightly, and it looks like the light is wrapped in light.

However, the crowd gathered in front of the building spontaneously brought lanterns, and shadows began to pour in like fireflies, stretching for miles.

Seeing these surging crowds, Huang Ke had mixed feelings in his heart.

He was one of those people a few years ago. They organized against imperialist hegemony, against the privileges of the elite, and even against the Beiyang government, which was in power at that time.

At that time, he wondered if there would be anyone standing here looking at them like him?

There are always two sides of the transaction, and standing in different positions will see different situations. Like these people, they were originally to oppose the privileges of powerful people like Kong Xiangxi, and they were right; But now from the government's point of view, they are a mob that wants to blackmail the government.

Huang Ke knew that what he had to do was to consider it from a different position and position.

"Commander, Director Yang has arrived." Chen Liewen pushed the door in, interrupting Huang Ke's thoughts.

"Let him in." Huang Kedao.

After Yang Yibing came in, Huang Ke asked without waiting for him to speak: "Is there any Japanese behind this incident who are making trouble?" ”

"I have already arranged for someone to investigate, and several people who are abnormal at the scene have also sent people to keep an eye on them, and they will be arrested as soon as the situation subsides." Yang Yibing said.

"It was originally a very small matter, but someone must have been making trouble behind the scenes that it can make today. It is possible for both the Japanese and Wang Jingwei, so it is important to find out. Huang Ke continued: "Don't be too anxious to arrest people, wait until you sit down before you do it." It seems that you still need to pay more attention to your work, the Japanese have planted their eyes and ears in the major universities in Nanjing, but you didn't even notice it in advance! ”

"Yes, I'll do a review." Yang Yibing is on the right path.

"I've heard too much review today, am I here in the review room? Let's get serious. After speaking, Huang Ke was about to pick up the clothes on the coat rack, and Yang Yibing stepped forward to help him put them on.

"Where's Chen Liewen?" After Huang Ke finished speaking, Chen Liewen, who had been waiting at the door, walked in, "Commander." ”

"Go get ready, get some loudspeakers, and in half an hour, I'm going to address the students." After Huang Ke finished speaking, he added: "By the way, the children must not have eaten yet, so arrange for someone to deliver the meal." In addition, the weather is relatively hot and humid, and several medical teams are also arranged to be prepared there. ”

"Yes, I'll arrange it." Chen Liewen said.

……

About 10 minutes later, several food delivery trucks came, and some young people wearing blue national uniforms got out of the cars, and they began to distribute instant noodles, canned food, and other food to the students and the military police at the scene. There is no doubt that these state uniforms with blue lapels are all organized by the government.

At first, the students were a little resistant, but they couldn't bear the rumbling of their stomachs, so they simply took it. Mixed with boiling water, the smell of instant noodles and canned beef was everywhere in front of him, and the military police and students who were still facing each other were also eating and drinking with their rice bowls in their hands at this time.

Eating, this innate nature also eased the original tense atmosphere of the scene.

At this time, several temporarily requisitioned loudspeaker cars drove over, these cars attracted everyone's attention, and after a while, the horn sounded a familiar voice: "Dear students, I am Huang Ke, chairman of the Central Executive Committee......
