Chapter 81: Is there another girl smiling?
Bai Wei's face was full of shyness, she may have sensed the thoughts of the scripture hall, and her heart was still slightly bitter.
Bai Zhengchang said that he was excited, worried about Zhongzhong, stood up and paced, and waved his hand with a cigarette in the air: "You young people are not deeply involved in the world, and you think you are smart, and you can't listen to the words of adults. Only the Kuomintang is currently the authentic party, whether it is the Communist Party or any other faction, all of them are small jokes, and they cannot shake the big tree of Nanjing! Last year, the students in Peking made a riot, and the government used * to bomb, how many people died! ”
Qing Po was shocked when she heard this, her eyes suddenly turned red, tears were already flowing, and she grabbed Bai Wei's hand tightly: "Baby Wei'er, don't scare your mother, you have three long and two short, and Qing Po is not alive." You have to promise me. ”
Bai Wei is a gentle and filial child, she didn't refute their reply, and nodded silently. Their struggle is becoming more and more secretive, and she can no longer bring a negative impact on the party's work because of her mishandling of her feelings, for her father and Qingpo, she knows that it is a kind of filial piety not to let them worry.
Wang Ya'an Mansion.
Before breakfast, the two fathers and sons of the Wang family sat in the hall as usual to read the newspapers of the day, and now the press is very free to speak, keen to disclose the protests and demonstrations that have taken place in various places and the truth, and every day criticizes the weakness of the government and the increasingly rampant events in the French Concession, and there is also a lot of news about the labor tide and the * movement. The two of them occasionally communicated, and to Wang Ya'an's relief, that Miantang was quiet and calm, and had a unique understanding of the current situation, and under the thick and black eyebrows, the sharp scrutinizing gaze was daunting. Almost all of Wang Ya'an's subordinates were shocked by his sharp gaze.
A corner of the report attracted Wang Ya'an's attention: In the course of petitioning by Peking college students, they were suddenly forcibly suppressed, injuring more than 300 students, arresting more than 100 students, and causing a major bloody tragedy.
Wang Ya'an pointed to the newspaper: "The college students are making a lot of trouble, and the Nanjing government has begun to suppress it." The Franco-British concession in Shanghai also forcibly suppressed the students, and the country will not be a country, and the people will not be able to make a living. I heard that news came from the garrison headquarters that the military and police of the British and French concessions were already in a state of imminent war, and the major schools would be blocked early tomorrow morning, and the government was going to suppress them! Don't let Bai Wei infiltrate it, call your uncle, and don't let Bai Wei come out tomorrow. ”
"Father-in-law, natural and man-made disasters and people's misery have directly led to the instability of the times. The same has been true since ancient times. There was a famine in the hometowns of the college students, and the anti-government sentiment in Britain, France, and Japan was naturally growing louder and louder. I'll call my uncle later. "That Miantang has a heartfelt respect for his father-in-law.
Wang Ya'an had obviously eaten breakfast, stretched out his sleeves, took the handkerchief handed by the user to wipe his hands, and instructed as he walked: "If the city government and the British and French concessions ask us to maintain order, we would rather pay than allow our brothers to act as thugs, we are not the Blue Coat Society, we are gangsters, our brothers are our own capital, and fighting a war means letting our brothers go to work." And what a sin for students! ”
Na Miantang's position in the family and the gang is already prominent, and Wang Ya'an gave Na Miantang the identity of 'little boss', obviously to pass on the mantle to him, "I know, father-in-law." Now that the Japanese are making obvious moves, will they dare to do it in Shanghai, because a war in Europe is about to break out, and we have to guard against Japan. ”
Wang Ya'an looked at the Miantang meaningfully: "Those friends of yours, if you want to save your life, you must worship under the door to seek shelter in troubled times." ”
"Does my father-in-law agree to take them in our Hongmen?"
"If you want the rain and wind to fill the building, it is better to follow Mrs. Zhang. My Axe Gang and the Cheng Sheng Gang you manage have become the eyes of the government at this time. ”
Now in Shanghai, there are many social teams in the Shanghai Youth Gang, among which the famous ones are the "Rong Society" run by Huo Zhuoshan, the "Heng Society" run by Du Shaoqing, and the "Ren Society" run by Zhang Renkui.
"Will Mrs. Zhang agree?"
"Mrs. Zhang is a 'big' generation, not prominent, and her seniority is higher than Huo Zhuoshan, Du Shaoqing, and Zhang Chenglin's 'Tong' generation. The rivers and lakes have the rules of the rivers and lakes, although their Sanxin company is calling for wind and rain in Shanghai, but they also have to bow their heads in front of the old lady. Jiang Dingwen, Han Fuyu, Chen Mingshu, Huang Qixiang, Sun Tongxuan, Du Fengju, Dai Jieping, Wang Xiushen and Shanghai News Xiong Shaohao, Dong Xianguang, Wang Yingbin and other celebrities and military circles are all old lady Zhang's doors. ”
"Thank you for your father-in-law! But I decided to bring them back to my doors, and I would rule over them myself. ”
Wang Ya'an walked towards the door and turned around, "You and Bai Wei have no guesses, and they will definitely be able to raise their eyebrows." This comes from the ancient romantic land. Some of the wind and snow are also considered Xiaoya, but don't come to me to say anything about marrying for life, the eldest husband is alive, and he is constantly interrupted and constantly chaotic. ”
A phone call from Miantang came to Bai Zhengchang's house, Bai Zhengchang answered the phone, and Miantang told him that the police would close the streets tomorrow and suppress the students, all of which Bai Wei did not know. Later in the evening, a small amount of sleeping pills was added to the coffee, and Bai Wei fell asleep after drinking it, she didn't know that there would be an incident that shocked Shanghai tomorrow, and she couldn't notify me and the six ponies in time. At her invitation, the Pony Six and I joined the student march.
The next day, armored vehicles were blaring their horns and speeding eastward, long trucks full of military and police officers also whizzed by, and brigades of mounted police units equipped with American equipment swaggered through the city. Both sides of the street are crowded with people, who are talking nonsense: "I'm afraid that something will happen today, there are more police than students!" ”
"I heard that Jiaotong University, Tongji, Fudan, John, and Shengbao universities are all surrounded by military police, and the bullets are loaded, and they will be fired at any time!"
"These student dolls are also pitiful, unarmed and don't want to die!"
Everyone huddled on the corner of the street, and the crowd was always worried that they would be hurt. While there was a lot of discussion, a team of students came over, and all the students from several colleges and universities gathered together, holding hands, and shouted for the students at the head: "Freedom!" Civil rights! Independent! ”
The military and police were like facing a great enemy, and they divided into a force to resist. For a while, the student contingent rushed into a large number of military and police, and the formation immediately became chaotic. But the students sang the national anthem and shouted slogans, and they still poured in. Jiao Tong University students carry gasoline and write 'Get out' (get out) at the gate of the Navy Headquarters! Immediately won a round of applause.
On the Bund Road, clashes between military police and students have escalated and melee has begun. Under the orders of the impatient French, a squad of mounted police had already rushed into the crowd of students, and the tall horses were dusty, and the steel helmets and uniforms and sticks were flying, and for a time there was a great chaos in the streets.
Bai Wei raised her head from her slumber with difficulty, the hour hand was already pointing to 10 o'clock, that is, the parade had started an hour as agreed, and she was naturally weak, but at this time she was even weaker than she could move. She grabbed the telephone microphone beside the bed with difficulty, and her slender fingers struggled to dial the Wang Mansion.
Wang's Mansion.
Na Miantang accompanied the British to do business yesterday, and he didn't return home until dawn after drinking at night, and he had just washed up and was ready to catch up on sleep. At this moment, the phone in the hall rang, and the servant who answered shouted: "That young master, your call!" ”
That Miantang waved his hand to the servant, walked a few steps quickly to answer the phone, he felt that the wine in his body was not awake, and he was still a little empty, and he fell into the sofa after answering the phone, and just after listening to a sentence, he straightened up: "What! ”
On the other side of the phone, the voice was also weak, "Hurry up and save the cat Jiujiu, she and Pony Six appeared in the parade today, I took the initiative to invite them to help me post the slogan yesterday, and there were not enough students at that time." ”
Rao is no matter how smart and clever that Miantang is, he can guess that there is something wrong with her body through Bai Wei's weak words, but he can also understand what today's parade means? "Where?" "Where is she?" The voice of the questioner was more severe and urgent, his brows were furrowed more and more tightly, and his face was dark.
"I'm not sure where they're going now, the route is the Bund - the British Concession - the French Concession - the China Merchants Bureau - the Navy Headquarters, in several groups at the same time."
He pondered for three seconds and said decisively: "Bai Wei, don't go anywhere when you lie on the bed, I'll find a way!" After that, hang up the phone first.
Bai Wei listened to the busy sound in the microphone, with an anxious and bitter face, he loved her, didn't he? She just sat in a daze, in April in Shanghai, the plantain in front of the house was green again, and the sea hall also bloomed with cascading stamens, but the swing was empty, and the man who used to help her push when she was a child had quietly walked out of her world.
Bai Wei looked out the window, the spring day was full of joy, and her heart was depressed; The city is full of spring, the walls are smoky, and there are other girls smiling around him?
The servant was frightened and nervous, he had never seen the eldest young master lose control so much, Na Miantang quickly put down the phone, raised his wrist, the radar watch minute hand was already pointing to eleven o'clock, he got up and shouted to Ah Zhong: "Quick! Car keys! "Rush out the door first.
On the Bund Road, his car was blocked on Chengdu Road.
It's only a few hundred meters away from China Merchants, but you can't go any further. A large number of military police were pouring in like a tide, and the car would definitely not be able to go, so Miantang decided to abandon the car and look for us on foot.
The military police and the students had a head-on confrontation, a pull-out student was scattered, several skinny female students screamed and bumped into each other, one after another tripped to the ground, the police waved the baton and beat the student mercilessly, the student immediately bled profusely.
A tall group of mounted police rushed into another student, and the tall horses were dusty, with steel helmets and uniforms and sticks flying, and the streets were even more chaotic for a while. Unarmed, the students basically only hunched their backs and held their heads to accept the batons, which were already a little crazy, splitting their heads and covering their faces. The two students were about to be stepped on by the horse, and the Miantang hugged them away one by one, and the wind behind his head couldn't dodge, and he was actually hit with a baton, and he almost fell to the ground in front of him.
