After Zhang Tinglan returned to Fengtian, Lao Zhang had already sent someone to investigate who wrote the article, and there was no difficulty in this work, and he soon set the target on this Teacher Huang.

And after Wang Yongjiang arrived in Liaoyang, he also kept sending back all kinds of news, from Wang Yongjiang's report, Zhang Zuolin and they learned that the Huang family was the largest landlord in Liaoyang, and the largest grain merchant. And the other identity of this teacher Huang is Huang Guan, the second young master of the Huang family.

This time, after the disaster, it was the Huang family who insisted on collecting land rent, and other landlords had to follow up. In fact, not all of these landlords are wicked, but when most landlords collect rent as usual, if you don't collect it, the gap between you and others will widen.

If there is another disaster or banditry, your strength is weak, and it is very likely that you will not be able to survive, and you will be beaten back to your original form and become someone else's tenant farmer again. Therefore, in order not to be eaten by others, other landlords also had to collect rent.

In fact, this is the difference between class and individual, some people may have good moral character, but they do things from the interests of their own class, once they are violated, these people will be like mad dogs, regardless of the same, there is no lower limit to fight back.

Take Zhang Tinglan's speech at Peking University as an example, those scholars may not understand right and wrong, but for the sake of the interests of their own class, they have to stand up and scold Zhang Tinglan.

The same is true for Huang Guan, he wrote articles to provoke student demonstrations, but also for the sake of family considerations, after Wang Yongjiang came to power, he played the banner of Qingzhang Tianmu, especially Qingzhang Tianmu, it was simply a rush to the lungs of the Huang family, as the largest landlord and landlord in Liaoyang, their family hid the most land.

Once the acres of land are cleared. They also pay the most taxes, and after Wang Yongjiang arrived in Liaoyang this time, he first appeased the rebellious people, and then put the spearhead on those grain merchants and unscrupulous landlords who hoarded Juqi, and the pressure on the Huang family increased sharply.

Huang has been in college, and he is also a celebrity in the Fengtian education circle, often publishing articles in newspapers, and is also a small influential figure. In order to alleviate the pressure on his family, he came up with an idea to encircle Wei and save Zhao, which was to incite students to march. Add chaos to the Mukden government and distract yourself.

And Huang Guan felt that the previous demonstrations were very smooth, and the Fengtian government did not dare to do it, so this guy had nothing to fear, but he miscalculated. This time, Lao Zhang not only took the offer head-on. And they caught him.

Facing Zhang Tinglan's questioning, Huang Guan was afraid. But it is also clear. At this time, you must not be soft, so you will shake your head like a rattle.

"I studied at the Huang family, and I went out to study in my early years, so I didn't know anything about my family. As for telling right and wrong, it is even more nonsense, I, Huang, can be responsible for every word I write, and you can't hide the ugly things of the Fengtian government from others. If you dare to arrest me, aren't you afraid of the public opinion of the world? ”

At this time, Huang Guan still looked indifferent, he was determined by the weakness of the government not daring to attack the literati. The Beiyang warlords had all sorts of problems. But almost everyone respects scholars very much, such as Zhang Taiyan scolded Yuan Shikai, at most he was placed under house arrest by Lao Yuan in Beijing, and he still eats and drinks well, which is similar to raising an old man.

"Teacher Huang, you have disappointed us so much." At this time, Chu Mingyuan suddenly said loudly: "We have read the official documents of the Fengtian government, and we have not cared about the lives of the people at all as you said. ”

Huang Guan didn't notice Chu Mingyuan and the others because of the horror in his heart, and now he saw that four students were standing not far away, including his nephew, and one of the students was still accusing him, which suddenly made Huang Guan's face change color.

"Why did you guys get in, did they arrest you?"

"Second uncle!" Although Huang Sheng was also sharp-toothed, as soon as he saw that Huang Guan had been arrested, his heart was bottomless, his face was full of horror, and he couldn't help shaking his head at Huang Guan.

Chu Mingyuan said nonchalantly: "We weren't arrested, Zhang Dashuai promised to let us enter the Shuai's mansion to see their documents and find out the truth of the matter." I found that what you said is not right, the civil uprising in Liaoyang was caused by the landlords' disregard for the lives of the common people, and it was not the Fengtian government that robbed the people of their grain at all, you are lying! Publicly questioned by his own students, Huang Guan's face was pale, and the bruises on his head were exposed.

He barely suppressed his anger: "Classmate Chu Mingyuan, you are too naïve, do you think that you can tell the truth from the fake after seeing a few official documents?" These things can be faked, but there is only one thing that cannot be faked, that is, the fact that the Mukden government exports grain to Japan, and when there is a rice riot in Japan, they will seize the time to confront Japan, such a slave government, can their words still be trusted? ”

Lao Zhang and his subordinates sat on the side, they could be regarded as having seen the cunning and sophistry of these scholars, Zhang Jinghui's ability to control emotions was the worst, as soon as he heard Huang Guan scolding them for being slaves, Zhang Jinghui stood up and took out his gun at once, and was about to shoot Huang Guan.

Huang Guan is also afraid in his heart, he is facing a gang of bandits, if he is really killed, there is no place to reason. However, Huang Guan also knew that he couldn't be soft at this time, because once he retreated and admitted the matter of inciting students, his reputation would stink, and it would be worse than killing him, so he had to grit his teeth and hold on.

"He wants to be You Heng, but I don't want to be Huang Zu yet." Zhang Zuolin said domineeringly: "It can't be fake, it can't be fake, it's not so easy to detain the." ”

After Lao Zhang finished speaking, Zhang Tinglan asked people to take the account of Fengtian's exports to Japan and put it in front of Chu Mingyuan and others, and the accounts clearly showed that although this year's grain exports were about 200,000 quintals more than last year, the average price of grain was one percent higher than last year, especially the part of the export organized by the Fengtian government, and the price was higher.

"Students, the facts are very clear, even if the Mukden government does not export to Japan, the Japanese can buy grain through the Manchurian Railway Co., Ltd., and their prices are lower. After the Mukden government took over this work, it has raised the purchase price and won benefits for the common people, not only not betraying the interests of the state, but also regaining the right to regain profits. ”

At this time, the people sent by Lao Zhang to search Huang Guan's house also returned, and a bunch of telegrams and letters were found in Huang Guan's study, including many letters that the Huang family had recently contacted. The main discussion was about the Qingzhang Tianmu, and the language was full of resentment against the Mukden government, and they did not hesitate to curse in the most vicious language.

These evidences were placed in front of them, Chu Mingyuan and the others' blind worship of Huang Guan almost completely collapsed, just now Huang Guan also said that he didn't know anything about the affairs of the family, and now there are so many telegrams and letters, proving that he is lying, and how can others believe his words.

Huang Guan's arrogance was also suppressed, and Zhang Tinglan smiled at him: "Mr. Huang, the matter is not over yet." I'll find a few more people for you to meet. Soon a dozen more people were brought in, including editors of several newspapers and a few literati who wrote articles in support of Huang Guan.

When they arrived at the Shuaifu, they were all trembling and terrified. In the past, there were many articles that insulted the government. But governments are often afraid to act, even if they do. There will also be people who will notify them in advance. There is nothing dangerous.

But they didn't know that because of Zhang Tinglan's help, Lao Zhang's strength was far stronger than that of others, so there was no problem at all in arresting a few people. His eyes were full of shock.

In this situation, some people soon couldn't stand it, and several literati successively admitted that Huang Guan took the initiative to find them and asked them to help write articles. They were all confused and didn't think it through. The editors also put the blame on Huang Guan, saying that he greeted him.

At this point, Chu Mingyuan and the others knew that the students were being used by their own teachers and launched a march in a daze. Now they are a little afraid when they think about it, if Lao Zhang is angry and acts rudely towards them, I am afraid that many students will be injured, and even death.

It's disappointing that their esteemed teachers don't care about the lives of their students at all.

"You can't look for me, you have to pay attention to evidence in everything, you say that I instigated the students to march, what is my motive, is it because I have enough to eat?"

"Mr. Huang, you don't have to worry, we won't convict you so hastily. To tell you the truth, just a few hours ago, Director Wang Yongjiang had ordered the arrest of the unscrupulous businessman who hoarded Juqi, and I think the Huang family may be in prison! ”

When Huang Guan heard Zhang Tinglan's words, it was as if he had fallen into an ice cave all of a sudden. Without the support of his hometown, how could he live a comfortable life, and as long as his family confessed to him, with full evidence, he was destined to be ruined.

Even the thin Huang Sheng was weak and collapsed to the ground after hearing the news of the raid.

Zhang Tinglan turned around and said to Chu Mingyuan and the others, "Three classmates, I think you should understand what's going on, right?" ”

"Got it, we're all being taken advantage of!" Chu Mingyuan lowered his head, today's incident was an unprecedented blow to him, losing his school status was not the most painful, what made him unacceptable was that all his previous concepts had collapsed.

The teacher is no longer the tireless cynical role model, but does not hesitate to take advantage of the despicable villains of the students for the sake of his own little calculations. And they claim to be the representatives of justice, but now they find themselves aiding and abetting, a subversive reality that has completely changed their perception of this society.

"As I have already said, I will expel you from school, and this punishment will definitely not change. However, we are going to set up an aftermath team immediately, go to Liaoyang, and at the same time deal with the Huang family's case, you can go with you, see more, think more, maybe there will be gains, of course you can also go, everything is casual. ”

After Zhang Tinglan explained two sentences, he asked Huang Guan and others to go down, and then he said to Zhang Zuolin: "Seventh master, Mr. Yongjiang has taken action against the landlords who hoarded Juqi, but I estimate that it will be very difficult to let nearly 100,000 victims who lack food and clothing survive the cold winter!" ”

"Yes, Liaoyang was already hit by a disaster, and then there was a civil uprising, whether these people can survive until the spring of next year, no one can say, according to the past, it is to open a porridge factory, so that the people can have a mouthful of gruel to live."

Zhang Tinglan shook his head: "Seventh Master, giving porridge is actually painting cakes to satisfy hunger, and it is letting the people slowly die." On a cold day, the victims didn't even have warm clothes, and they drank porridge every day. She's not saving people, but letting the victims see a little hope, and not to make trouble, but this hope is slim after all, at least two-thirds of the people will die in a winter, and they won't understand until they die that it was those porridges that killed them. ”

Zhang Tinglan ruthlessly exposed the hypocrisy of the porridge, and then said: "This kind of disaster relief method can no longer be used, I suggest to adopt the model of work-for-relief, treat the victims as labor, and then use them as collateral, obtain loans from banks, and then use the loans to resettle these disaster victims, and wait until the spring of next year, we will organize them to cultivate the land, and pay off the loan after five years, they are free again, and they can still get land."
