Chapter 708: The Mighty Palace

"Cao Xun has arrived!"

When the memorial service reached its climax, Cao Kun suddenly appeared in front of the auditorium with people. As soon as these students saw Cao Kun appear, some people were immediately furious and rushed to Cao Kun one after another.

"What are you despicable executioners doing here, do you want to take us and kill us?"

"If you have the ability to come at us, we are all defenseless students anyway, you can do whatever you want."

Cao Kun saw that these students were gossiping about themselves, and hurriedly said: "The classmates have misunderstood, misunderstood, it was not Cao who ordered the shooting, and it has nothing to do with me, just come to see everyone." ”

At this time, several teachers also rushed over, and among these people was Cai Yuanpei, as a former veteran of the Kuomintang and the president of Peking University for many years, Cai Yuanpei still knows a lot about things in the political arena.

Cao Kun and Zhang Tinglan are definitely not all the way, and there is no need to speak harshly to him, but Cai Yuanpei also has no good face, and sneered: "Cao Shuai, we are mourning for thousands of students whose lives and deaths are unknown, not a place to watch the excitement." ”

"Principal Cai, you misunderstood me, my classmates were shot, and I was also very sad, so I didn't look for relationships overnight, carefully understand the inside story, and hurry over to talk about it!"

When Cai Yuanpei and several other principals and professors heard this, their eyes suddenly lit up, because Zhang Tinglan's decisive measures, the students did not escape, and they did not know the detailed situation, but they only knew that Liu Hezhen, who rushed to the front, was shot and killed, and the other students died and were arrested, but they did not know what the specific situation was.

Therefore, I heard that Cao Kun had news. Cai Yuanpei hurriedly gave a salute: "Cao Shuai, the life and death of the students are uncertain, my heart is like a fire, and I ask for your forgiveness for being rude." ”

"Well said, well said!" Cao Kun squeezed his eyes, and two tears welled up: "I understand the feelings of the teachers, I heard that a total of 23 students were killed by gunfire, and more than 800 others were held in the barracks, but their lives are not in danger. ”

"What does it mean that there is no danger. After falling into the jaw of the tiger, our lives are in danger at any time, and we must rescue the students! Jiang Menglin said loudly.

Other teachers and students also shouted loudly and said that they must save people. Cao Kun saw it in his eyes and was happy in his heart. He was already angry because he had inexplicably lost the authority of Beijing. However, due to the strength of the Feng army. He didn't dare to do it.

But now Zhang Tinglan has a problem herself, and she has offended the education community to death all of a sudden, you must know that these people represent the direction of public opinion, and they must not be offended, Zhang Tinglan is seeking his own death, so this is a good opportunity to take the opportunity to bring down Zhang Tinglan.

But this cannot be said explicitly. He also pretended to be very embarrassed and said: "Ladies and gentlemen, we are all very sad in our hearts when something unfortunate happened, but I think there may be some misunderstanding in this. The Vice President is a man of great talent. Regain lost territory, defeat strong enemies, is a big hero, a big hero......"

Before Cao Kun finished speaking, Cai Yuanpei waved his hand: "Cao Shuai, governing the country is different from governing the army, Zhang Tinglan can be a good soldier, but he is not good at being the leader of the country, and there will be big problems in managing the country by dealing with soldiers." ”

"Yes, what President Cai said is not wrong at all, Zhang Tinglan is not worthy of being vice president at all, he must be responsible for the bloodbath!"

The teachers and students were clamoring again, the atmosphere became more and more lively, and Cao Kun was secretly proud in his heart, the purpose of burning a fire had been achieved, so he also quietly left.

Cai Yuanpei looked at the people around him, and then said, "Everyone, since more than 800 students have been arrested, our current task is to rescue the students. ”

Hu Shi, Jiang Menglin and others on the side all nodded: "That's right, do you want to immediately launch a large-scale march to force Zhang Tinglan to give in?" ”

"No!" Cai Yuanpei waved his hand: "If he dares to shoot, it proves that this person has lost his heart, and he must not hit a stone with an egg again, we have lost so many students, and we can no longer bear the sacrifice." ”

"What does Principal Cai think we should do?"

"I went to find Zhang Tinglan myself, and I didn't want to fight for my life, and I also rescued the students."

As soon as Jiang Menglin heard this, he immediately spoke out to stop him: "Principal Cai, isn't it more dangerous for you to go, if Zhang Tinglan attacks you, what should you do?" ”

"Don't worry, I have a lot of friendship with the veterans of the Kuomintang, I'll go to Zhang Taiyan and Tang Shaoyi first, and see what they say, they actually act as thugs for the butcher, I think they are really old and confused!"

These teachers and students looked at each other, Cai Yuanpei's idea was indeed good, after all, he still had so many old relationships, and Zhang Tinglan didn't dare to really kill him.

Cai Yuanpei explained a few more words, so that the teachers and students were a little calm, and he went directly to the Anti-Corruption Bureau first and found Zhang Taiyan. Some time ago, the Anti-Corruption Bureau launched a large-scale killing campaign in Mukden and dealt with a large number of mediocre officials, who were so famous that no one knew about them. Now Zhang Taiyan is also rising, and he is preparing to clean up the officialdom in Beijing and Tianjin.

At this time, Cai Yuanpei came over, as soon as the two met, Cai Yuanpei grabbed Zhang Taiyan's hand and sneered: "Brother Taiyan, you are so comfortable as an official, you don't care when the sky falls, do you only have a black yarn hat in your heart?" ”

Zhang Taiyan also had a fiery temper, and when he heard Cai Yuanpei question him like this, his eyes suddenly widened: "I am not only staring at my black yarn hat, but also staring at the black yarn hat of the world's officials, who dares to be corrupt and cheat, they will not be able to escape the sanction." I'm still busy sorting out the files, if you don't have anything to do, you can just do it! ”

When Cai Yuanpei heard this, he was also furious, and sneered: "Zhang Taiyan, are you confused, so many students died tragically, don't you just ignore it?" ”

As soon as Zhang Taiyan heard him say this, he suddenly hahadaxiao: "I forgot that you have been the principal for many years, so let me ask you if you are a godfather, and if you are not strict with your teacher, you are lazy." When a student has a problem, don't you know that you should reflect on your own problem first? ”

"My problem? What's wrong with me? Cai Yuanpei's face was gloomy, and he said sharply: "Zhang Taiyan, you don't have to change the topic, I'll ask you a word, are you willing to help." Get the students out of custody? ”

"The prince is guilty of the same crime. Students are no exception, and now that the Cabinet has set up a task force, with the Vice President and the Prime Minister in charge, I believe it will soon come to light. ”

"Falling out of the water? Could it be that the students spilled their blood on the long street, but they are still guilty? Cai Yuanpei was simply mad: "Zhang Taiyan, I think you are completely confused, and you are stunned by lard!" ”

Zhang Taiyan looked at Cai Yuanpei, who was like an angry lion, and suddenly smiled: "Brother Cai, in fact, a year ago, I had the same opinion as you. But since I took charge of the Anti-Corruption Bureau, I have come to understand that the two eyes of a person can deceive you and see things. It doesn't have to be reality. ”

"What do you mean?"

"It's not interesting, Brother Cai. The reason for your march on these. Is it clear? ”

"Of course, it is clear that students demand academic freedom, which is also a principle that Cai has always adhered to, and Zhang Tinglan wanted to manage the army as soon as he came to power, interfering with academic freedom, of course I am against it."

"Freedom. How many sins have been done in your name! Zhang Taiyan suddenly smiled and said: "Brother Cai, aren't you afraid that academic freedom will become an excuse to hide dirt and dirt?" ”

"Nonsense, Zhang Taiyan. I never imagined that you would become so ruthless that people would not dare to admit it! After Cai Yuanpei left a sentence, he flicked his sleeves and left.

Then he found the Prime Minister's Office again, hoping to meet Tang Shaoyi, but he also ate a closed door, Cai Yuanpei was suddenly furious, he only thought that Tang Shaoyi deliberately hid himself. The students didn't know anything about the situation, and he didn't have the face to go back, so he had to go to President Li Yuanhong.

In fact, Cai Yuanpei did have some misunderstandings, Tang Shaoyi didn't really want to avoid him, but the case had reached the most critical moment, and he couldn't leave it for a moment, including Zhang Tinglan, who had hardly fallen asleep in the past few days, and his eyes were red.

"Dashuai, we have checked all the students." Chang Yinhuai reported to Zhang Tinglan.

"How's it going?"

"Most of the students are haode, they are just being used by others, they don't know the truth at all, plus there have been too many demonstrations over the years, and some people are even just joining in the fun."

"However, there are more than thirty people who have some problems, and they collect money!"

"What?" Tang Shaoyi suddenly stood up from the side and said in disbelief: "How is this possible, can the parade still be regarded as a job?" ”

Chang Yinhuai nodded with difficulty, obviously he was also surprised by the results of this investigation: "Here's the thing, not all of these students are interested in collecting money. Eight of them didn't think they were collecting money at all, they just said that someone appreciated the students' righteous deeds, so they provided financial support, and the amount was not much, just dozens, hundreds of oceans, and most of the money they got was used to make colorful flags and slogans, and the other was to eat and drink. ”

"Confused, confused!" Tang Shaoyi was suddenly furious: "These students are all adults, why are they still indistinguishable, is the money so easy to get?" ”

"Prime Minister, there are a few students who are in an even worse situation, they are being controlled. Two of the students confessed to having met two courtesans at a ball, only to be dragged into the water in a daze, and the two courtesans threatened to make them disgraced if they disobeyed. ”

Hearing this, Zhang Tinglan was also furious, these methods are actually not uncommon, when collecting espionage intelligence later, agents often do this, but I didn't expect to use these methods to envelop and control students, it is really hateful.

Chang Yinhuai said again: "There are also a few students who simply can't stand the temptation of money. These controlled students, usually cheer up the morale of other people, cheer everyone on, write some slogans and so on, and when it is time to march, organize and tandem. ”

Zhang Tinglan nodded: "This has been prepared for a long time, and it has been arranged for many years, it seems that the operation of the great powers in China is really unexpected!" ”

"It was an eye-opener indeed." Tang Shaoyi also said: "Director Chang, how is the problem of shooting?" ”

"There's already an eyebrow." Chang Yinhuai said: "This time we caught two thugs who were mixed in with the student ranks, and they brought axes and machetes. According to the confession, their mission was to attack the military police in the event of a physical altercation, and once blood was seen, the situation would get out of control. ”

Tang Shaoyi couldn't help but say: "Sure enough, the mechanism is exhausted, didn't you catch the gunman?" ”

"Not yet, it has been confirmed that the gunman is not among the students, but is hiding in the surrounding buildings, but we have found an important clue, and a student named Zuo Chengpeng played a key role in this procession. But we didn't catch him red-handed, and we're in full pursuit these days. ”

"You must catch him, you must not let him go, I have a hunch, this Zuo Chengpeng is the key to solving the case, you must catch him!"

……

Just when Zhang Tinglan was doing Zuihou's sprint for the truth, the capital was also chaotic, and the case has been known by more and more people, and after rendering, it has intensified, some people say that dozens of people died, some people say that hundreds of students died, and some people even said that they saw thousands of people die with their own eyes, and the blood stained the road red.

All in all, gossip is everywhere, and people in the capital are also panicking, and some of the students' parents have also found the school, and those teachers and students have all gathered together. After some discussion, these soldiers divided into two routes, one way directly to Li Yuanhong, and all the way to the Congress.

Li Yuanhong was also on pins and needles at this time, he had just gone to Zhang Tinglan because Zhang Tinglan had won Wang Kemin and others, but just a few days later, there was another big incident, and it was a major event when the sky fell, which was really beyond Li Yuanhong's imagination.

"The president, Zhang Tinglan brutally killed the students, the methods are outrageous, after several days, he didn't even give an explanation, is it tolerable or unbearable, and ask the president to come forward to uphold justice!" Cai Yuanpei said solemnly.

Li Yuanhong also scratched his head a little, and said with a wry smile: "President Cai, in fact, I believe in the vice president, although he is young, he is not sloppy, is it really wrong for the students to march this time?" ”

"It's not bad, it's not going to kill you!"

"That's right, that's right!" Li Yuanhong didn't have anything to say for a while, so he could only say: "Principal Cai, let's do it, I'll go with you to find a humble statement to understand the situation clearly, and then say something else!" ”

Li Yuanhong and Cai Yuanpei went out of the presidential palace together, and as soon as they came out, Li Yuanhong was taken aback, it turned out that hundreds of teachers and students from Beijing and Tianjin had gathered outside, and the principals of several schools were at the forefront.

……

When Zhang Tinglan was sitting down, Yang Yuting suddenly walked in: "Humble words, big trouble is coming again, Wang Huaiqing and Zhang Fulai's two divisions have mutinied, demanding to pay off the salary!" ”

"In a humble way, British Minister Eiston asks for a meeting." Suddenly, another voice came. (To be continued......)
