Chapter Seventy-Eight: Demonstrations
After Huo Shenheng left the Japanese Consulate, he secretly went to Xunziyan's mansion.
Xun Ziyan also praised Wen Zhiliang for killing a Japanese: "I didn't expect that girl usually looks weak and a little stupid, and she will kill people at critical moments!" ”
Huo Shenheng pressed his temples: "Can you stop talking about the wind and cold, it's a matter of life." ”
Xun Ziyan said lightly: "It's a big deal, I'll send someone to the prison to rescue her." Anyway, she is a hero who killed the Japanese, if nothing else, for this righteous act, I saved people. ”
"The eyes of the Japanese are not just staring at Wen Zhiliang's life, they are staring at Huludao. What I am thinking about is that the wolf ambitions of the Japanese cannot be concealed, and a major war cannot be avoided. ”
"You're worried that you won't be able to beat the Japanese!"
Huo Shenheng smiled indifferently: "Over the years, our country has been torn apart, if I go to war with the Japanese, whether it is the Chongqing Army or the Central Army, they will only watch from the sidelines and reap the benefits of the fisherman, then the sacrifice of me and the six provinces south of the Yangtze River is meaningless." ”
Although Xun Ziyan is a boss of the Green Gang and does not understand political affairs, Huo Shenheng said that he understands that in the past ten years, warlords have been fighting, and foreigners have taken advantage of the situation to enter and secretly fish for oil and water, divide land, and try to invade. "So what are you going to do? The Japanese, the Beiyang Army, and the gods of the underground organization are all doing things together, Ah Heng, you are okay! ”
Huo Shenheng squinted his eyes: "I can't die, now I can only take one step at a time, you secretly send people to pay attention to the Japanese people's every move, don't let them maliciously approach the prison, I will continue to negotiate with the Japanese." ”
Xun Ziyan poured a full glass of wine and handed it to Huo Shenheng and said, "Don't worry! I'm not going to let our heroines who killed the Japanese be murdered. ”
Huo Shenheng drank the wine, and the whole person fell asleep, he hadn't slept for too long, and only here in Xun Ziyan could he take a nap for a while.
In fact, Xun Ziyan saw that his eyes were sunken, and put a little tranquilizer in the wine.
Since Wen Lumian knew that Wen Zhiliang was arrested and put in prison, he had been looking for his superiors to help save his sister. Although the assassination of the Yongxing Road Department Store was not done by himself, he was supportive. The Japanese have long had wolf ambitions, and even if they don't assassinate Kiichiro, sooner or later something will break out.
What's more, Kiichiro is a genius in chemistry and has a great effect on the Japanese, and it is imperative to assassinate Kiichiro. But after all, this triggered the rape, killing and robbery of the Japanese ronin in Yunzhou City, which made Wen Zhiliang angry and killed the Japanese. Wen Lumian blamed himself very much, and his organization was also actively trying to prevent the Yunzhou government from punishing Wen Zhiliang.
On the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, more than 3,000 people, including students, workers, and civilians, gathered at the gate of the Yunzhou Military Building. Demanded that the rulers of Yunzhou drive away the Japanese ronin and release Wen Zhiliang.
Huo Shenheng was still sleeping in Xun Ziyan's mansion, and after Huo Laoshuai received the report of the trouble, he scolded angrily: "This group of unconscious things, it's the other way around, I'll go to the meeting." ”
Huo Laoshuai came to the door of the military building and shouted with a loudspeaker: "What do you want to do, disperse quickly." ”
A voice erupted in the crowd: "Drive away the Japanese ronin and let Wen Zhiliang go." Then the group rose up and agreed: "Drive away the Japanese ronin and let Wen Zhiliang go." Drove away the Japanese ronin and let Wen Zhiliang go. drove away the Japanese ronin and released Wen Zhiliang ......"
Huo Laoshuai angrily continued to shout with a loudspeaker, and his voice was drowned in the sea of people.
The adjutant hurriedly escorted Huo Laoshuai into the building.
Huo Lao smashed things handsomely: "What about Huo Shenheng?" Why is he not there every time there is such a demonstration, can he pinch it! Knowing that there were demonstrations, they hid and tried to throw this mess at me. ”
He Zhi explained: "Report to the old marshal, the marshal has been running outside these days, and rarely comes to the military building, so he shouldn't have deliberately thrown the stall to you." ”
Huo Laoshuai was originally complaining, but he didn't expect these serious answers, he didn't know what to scold for a while, so he had to say: "Go out and get Huo Shenheng back." ”
"Yes, old man."
After Huo Shenheng woke up slowly, he still felt his head heavy. Xun Ziyan was holding a chicken leg and gnawing on it, and when he saw Huo Shenheng wake up, he handed the chicken leg over: "Do you eat it?" ”
Huo Shenheng pushed his hand away: "What time is it, how long have I been asleep." ”
Xun Ziyan said with a harmless face: "You slept for about two days." ”
"What? Xun Ziyan, you dare to drug me. Do you know how much it takes to sleep for two days? Huo Shenheng got up, grabbed his windbreaker and was about to leave.
Xun Ziyan said lightly: "Eat something and then go!" I'm afraid that if you wait until you go to the military building, you will be trampled on the ground and won't be able to get up, then it will be funny. ”
"What's wrong with the military building?"
"It's nothing, it's just a group of student workers who are bored and gather at your gate to demonstrate!"
Huo Shenheng didn't bother to say anything about him.
Xun Ziyan said again: "You'd better not go!" What can you do? You can't drive away the Japanese ronin, you can't let go of Wen Zhiliang, and you can't control those who gather to make trouble. Instead of suffocating and angry with yourself, it's better to eat chicken with me. ”
These words pierced Huo Shenheng's heart, but he calmed down, threw his windbreaker on the stool, rolled up his sleeves, and pulled a chicken leg with his hand to eat it.
Xun Ziyan poured two more bowls of wine, and his behavior was rude and not like his handsome and beautiful appearance: "I still remember one time, when you came back from the battlefield, you were hungry, and there was blood on your body and told me, do you have meat to eat?" I also bought a roast chicken for you to eat, and you were like this at the time, not holding chopsticks or bowls, but holding it with your hands to eat. I haven't seen you like this since then, you are handsome, and you are elegant when you eat. ”
Huo Shenheng took a sip of wine: "Many times, where you are in a position, you think about different things. If I were just a nobody, I would go into the prison and rob people if I wanted to, without thinking about the life and death of Yunzhou and the six provinces south of the Yangtze River. ”
"So, don't think too much about it, just eat meat."
The two of them ate meat like a game, and in the end, there was still a chicken head left.
Not only did he know that Huo Shenheng should be here in Xun Ziyan, but when he found it, he saw Huo Shenheng, but the Huo Shenheng he saw was hugging Xun Ziyan.
In the end, Xun Ziyan grabbed the chicken head, and said very satisfied: "I just said that this chicken head belongs to me." "Put it in your mouth when you say that.
Huo Shenheng turned around and saw what he said: "Why are you here?" ”
He Zhi hurriedly saluted: "Big Shuai, the old man asked you to go back to the military building quickly, thousands of people surrounded the military building." ”
Huo Shenheng washed his hands, put down his sleeves, put on a windbreaker and said, "Your chicken is not delicious, remember to buy Cui and Zhai next time." ”
After saying that, he left with him.
Xun Ziyan replied to him with relish: "Virtue, it's good to eat." ”
Huo Laoshuai didn't see Huo Shenheng's figure for a long time, and he was dizzy by the people outside, and his temper couldn't help but become more irritable.
Another soldier said, "Retreat, old man!" The people outside were in a state of great emotion, as if they were about to break through the iron gate and enter. ”
Huo Laoshuai directly ordered: "Let the soldiers prepare, whoever dares to take a step forward will shoot, I don't believe it will scare them." ”
Not long after the words ended, I heard the sound of a machine-gun sweep outside, and the screams of the crowd.
Huo Shenheng just arrived, and before he got out of the car, when he saw this scene, he directly asked He Zhi to enter through the back door of the military building.
"Who ordered the shooting?" Huo Shenheng was furious.
Huo Laoshuai didn't expect things to be so uncontrollable, and said with some panic: "It's me." ”
Huo Shenheng scolded unceremoniously: "Those are innocent people, and if you order them to be swept away now, it will only intensify the contradictions, make the already devastated Yunzhou even more devastated and cause public indignation." ”
Huo Laoshuai wanted to save face after all, he felt embarrassed when he was scolded by his son like this, and he knew that he was wrong, but he still retorted: "You are still embarrassed to say me, where have you been?" You don't sit in the Governing House yourself, but blame me. The group of Diao people outside knew about the demonstration, and if I didn't give them the color, I wouldn't be the king of Yunzhou. ”
Huo Shenheng slammed his fist on the table, scaring everyone who didn't dare to make a sound, including Huo Laoshuai.
After a long time, Huo Shenheng went out, and there was a wail in front of him.
It seems that dozens of people died. I can't count the injuries.
The Chinese New Year's Eve, which was supposed to be the day of family reunion, but caused such a tragedy, Huo Shenheng felt very bad in his heart, for the first time, he felt that he was so incompetent.
There were also demonstrators who had not left and scolded Huo Shenheng when they saw him come out.
"Huo Shenheng, as the marshal of the six provinces in the south of the Yangtze River, you treat the people under your jurisdiction like this."
"The Japanese didn't dare to deal with it, they only dared to point their guns at us."
"We are going to the Beiyang government to demonstrate and oust Huo Shenheng from power."
“……”
Huo Shenheng didn't speak, he couldn't say anything. There are dozens of corpses in front of him, and any language is pale in front of this. And all this is the result of his blind pursuit of peace with the Japanese. He gritted his teeth and swore that he would let the Japanese return this revenge.
Seeing that everyone was insulting Huo Shenheng, the soldiers picked up and grabbed the crowd again.
Huo Shenheng scolded: "Put down the gun, don't shoot again." ”
No one will appreciate it, but they only feel that Huo Shenheng has a set of people behind him.
Song Qi hid not far away, looking at this scene, and happily muttered to himself: "Huo Shenheng, you are really getting more and more stupid, you have left yourself with this big stigma, it seems that you can't clear the matter of killing your compatriots for the sake of the Japanese." ”
Because of his happy mood, Song Qi also served a pot of wine in the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner prepared for Wen Zhiliang.
As Song Qi and Song Sanshao, he easily entered the prison.
Wen Zhiliang heard the prison guard say, "Miss Wen, someone has come to bring you a Chinese New Year's Eve dinner." She thought it was Huo Shenheng, and she was very happy.
Unexpectedly, it was Song Qi who appeared, and he couldn't help but feel a trace of loss in his heart.
