After Ah Mao instructed the Mixed River Dragon about this, the Mixed River Dragon rushed into the procession at the entrance of the Confucian Mansion with more than 100 thugs.

At first, the procession did not notice the arrival of these people, they only cared about throwing rotten eggs, and thought that these people were also here to join their team, until the leader of the mixed river dragon spat and waved his big hand: "Brothers, give me a beating", they realized that this group of people was here to deal with them.

As soon as the mixed river dragon gave the order, the 100 brothers under his hand waved big sticks and machetes and rushed towards the crowd of marchers.

They beat people when they saw them, and they showed no mercy, but the procession was not a lamb to be slaughtered, and a group of male students organized a rebellion and scuffled with them.

But how could they be the opponents of these hooligans armed with sharp weapons, several students were beaten on the head and bleeding, and the female students were even worse, and some were even torn and humiliated, and more people who went to the march saw this scene, simply threw down the slogans in their hands and fled...... Relying on this powerful impact, the procession soon dispersed like birds and beasts.

The crowd dispersed, the ground was in disarray, and the police standing at the door to maintain order were not allowed to intervene because they were ordered to intervene, so they hid behind and watched from afar.

However, they can only verbally complain, because they are strictly ordered not to intervene in any conflict.

Kong Xiangxi, who was standing in the attic, looked at the scattered crowd below and those who were violently beaten, and a smile couldn't help but appear on the corner of his mouth.

The son of the Kong family was quite proud, playing with the unlit cigar in his hand, and his face was pale.

"It's not going to make a mess, is it?" Mrs. Kong was a little worried, not that he was worried about the lives of those students, but that they were afraid that they would be beaten, and this matter would continue to make trouble.

"What's going on? This is him Huang someone who is giving me eye medicine and forcing me to take the initiative to move back to Nanjing. Yesterday you went to Nanjing and today you are back in Wuhan, and this Huang is already unhappy with me. Besides, as long as I move back to Nanjing, it will be easy for the others. Kong Xiangxi shook his sleeves and put his hands behind his back, "Hmph, I just want to fight him." Without me, who will he find to clean up this mess of the Ministry of Finance? None of his Xiguan faction understands economics, if he replaces me, within ten days, those yamen will have to ask him for money, and he will not be able to stand it himself. ”

Speaking of this, Kong Xiangxi's face showed full confidence, he pinched the pipe in his hand, glanced at the son next to him and asked, "Is the matter done?" Nothing could go wrong, right? ”

"Don't worry, Daddy, this matter is guaranteed to be strict, and no matter how you check it, you can't find our heads." Kong Gongzi put the cigar in his mouth and lit it with a snap.

"But Daddy, you are really wise, fortunately, after learning about this, you let Mommy and the second sister return to Wuhan overnight, if you are in Nanjing, you may still be placed by them? I think this Huang Ke is also a guy who eats people and doesn't spit out bones, on the surface his wife gave in to his children, but in fact he has always held a grudge. ”

Kong Xiangxi's face turned pale, "It's a small thing to hold a grudge. Huang Ke's pattern will not be so small, and their political purpose is even more serious. By the way, let the master prepare the car, and I will go to the Ministry of Finance in a while. ”

"Are you still going today?" Mrs. Kong complained a little.

"The more I go today, the more I want to go." After Kong Xiangxi finished speaking, he paced downstairs.

……

Before these things on the plane were disclosed, Huang Ke had already known about them from his wife Zhao Xiaowan.

Speaking of which, this Miss Kong Er is also a lawless troublemaker, and his arrogant and domineering killing of the traffic police officer in Wuhan was already full of wind and rain in the city, not to mention the fact that he shot and injured his son in Xuanwu Lake a few years ago.

However, this Mrs. Kong was shrewd, and it is said that they rushed to Wuhan overnight shortly after getting off the plane from Nanjing. I think that if they were still in Nanjing, they might be surrounded by angry people, and then they would be beaten lightly.

What if you run to Wuhan? This time, Huang Ke decided to take the opportunity to give the officials in Wuhan a blow.

Naturally, he did not intend to interfere in these matters, and Huang Ke only inadvertently mentioned news supervision in his conversation with Propaganda Minister Chen Bui before the newspaper came out.

He said, "We are in a difficult stage of the war of resistance, and at this time, it is even more necessary for the press and the public to monitor the government's actions. Don't be afraid of any bad things that come out of the oversight, if the bad things can't be exposed, that's the most terrible thing. ”

Chen Bui was a little inexplicable when Huang Ke suddenly said this, and he was keenly aware of what information should be conveyed in it.

Not allowing him to think about it, Huang Ke continued: "The mouth of the people is more important than the defense of Sichuan; Isn't it true that the ancients understood the truth that the democracies of the 20th century did not understand? You are mainly in charge of the propaganda front, and the good propaganda is one aspect, and the bad supervision is another aspect. ”

Although he didn't know the intention of Huang Ke's words, Chen Bui still agreed. After going back, he chewed on the intention of these words carefully, thinking that there was something wrong in his work, or that Huang Ke hinted that he was going to do something?

Chen Bui decided to go to find out more about it the next day, but in the early hours of the morning, he was woken up by a phone call from the News Supervision Office.

It turned out that the "Ta Kung Pao" published on the same day disclosed the incident of Miss Kong Er's foreign dog, and the News Supervision Office felt that these news were bound to cause huge repercussions among the people, and asked whether it was necessary to control them accordingly.

The Press Supervision Department was established after the Anti-Japanese War and was subordinate to the Propaganda Department, but in order to avoid anyone thinking that the state controls the press and hinders press freedom, this department is only within the department.

The main task of this department is to carry out effective news supervision of the major newspapers, which is, to put it bluntly, to check whether there is any negative news that is not good for the government.

Every morning, the Supervision Office will send people to the major printing houses to check the samples of each newspaper, so as to ensure that the Supervision Office can see the specific content of the newspaper in advance and better implement supervision.

If you encounter some minefields, you will naturally inform your superiors by phone and report to your superiors. If the higher authorities ask for instructions to delete it, some newspapers will leave a blank space on the page of the article that was originally taken down in order to express their protest, and the industry will "open the skylight".

Since the Anti-Japanese War, newspapers have been "opened" because of this situation, although there have been very few. First, the state advocates freedom of speech, and interfering with the press is unconstitutional. Second, although Huang Ke pays attention to publicity, he does not like control, so it is not a last resort, and the officials of the Supervision Department will not intervene, let alone forcibly order the deletion of the article.

Chen Bui's head was groggy, and it was not a big deal to think about this news, but after he wanted to casually reply "deal with it as appropriate", he suddenly felt a fierce spirit, and he immediately asked: "Do you have the original text of this manuscript in hand now?" ”

The other party replied, "Yes, yes." ”

"Okay, you read it to me now, and don't leave a word behind." After Chen Bui finished speaking, the official on the other end of the phone read it. The manuscript is not long, and the comments are only more than 1,000 words, but every word is heartfelt and loud.

After reading it, Chen Bui thought about it, and he thought of what Huang Ke said that morning, and he had a plan in his heart.

"We will not judge whether this manuscript is true or not, if it is true, then it should be sent. This is too outrageous for you to interfere with. ”

After speaking, Chen Bui hung up the phone, but his heart couldn't calm down for a long time. Was there a mistake in his intentions? Will it be self-defeating?

As it turned out, he was right.

After the draft was issued, the surging public opinion began to focus on attacking Kong Xiangxi, and Kong Xiangxi, as one of the firm forces left behind in Wuhan, was bound to be targeted by the public at this time, and it was inevitable that Huang Ke would take this opportunity to overthrow Kong Xiangxi.

Of course, this was just Huang Ke's plan. After all, the removal of the finance minister is not a small matter, and personnel appointments still need to be discussed by the committee, but Huang Ke has already won the battle.

……

When Huang Ke was dealing with this matter, Zhao Tinghui finally told his sister Zhao Xiaowan what Wang Maocai told him.

When she first heard this, Zhao Xiaowan was surprised, "Brother, how can you get involved with the Japanese and the people of No. 76?" If this matter is known to outsiders, it will be difficult for the commander to protect you, even if the commander wants to protect you. ”

Zhao Tinghui said disapprerovingly: "My good sister, it seems that you still don't understand politics." Talking to the Japanese now is beneficial to both China and Japan, so why not do it? ”

"But this battle cannot be negotiated, and it cannot only be considered interests." Zhao Xiaowan was still a little worried.

Zhao Tinghui shook his head, "There is nothing that cannot be negotiated. The national war and the war to the death are all told to the people, how can there be so many enemies? It will not be beneficial for China and Japan to continue to fight, and now the negotiations will benefit both sides. It's not that I'm talking about your sister, you don't think about the country, you have to think about Huang Ke. You don't know the situation he is in now, there are Japanese, British and American troubles outside, and there are Wuhan factions such as Jiang Zhongzheng and Kong Xiangxi inside, and it is an exaggeration to describe internal and external troubles. It's not a bad idea to be able to talk to Japanese people. ”

Zhao Xiaowan was a little tempted by what she said, she bit her lip after thinking for a moment and said, "I'll try." ”

Zhao Tinghui smiled, "That's right, although your brother and I have done a few wrong things, my starting point is still good." Don't worry, for the sake of you and your brother-in-law's reputation, I, the wicked person, will be the one who will be. ”

As he spoke, Zhao Tinghui patted his chest and pounced.
