Chapter 61: Failure and War (5)

Wei Huai, whom Xia Yuanlong knew, never dared to let go. This kind of psychology is probably because he knows that his ability is limited, and he is afraid that every wrong step will bury the victory that is close at hand; At the same time, the worried dean was too concerned about the safety of the people and the rise and fall of the New Deal, so that he was unwilling to give up the beautiful scene in front of him and stepped into the dark water. Therefore, thinking that is clouded by such emotions will naturally lead the academy to an even more embarrassing predicament—this road is about to come to an end.

Wei Huai already felt the stiff atmosphere in the alliance, but what supported him to persist in this cause was always the millions of people in Nanjing. They admired him so much, supported him so much, and heard the tidal wave of cheers, which was the most intoxicating thing for Wei Huai. But if this force also loses trust in itself, then what lies in front of the academy is a path to extinction.

However, not surprisingly, the people's suspicion of Wei Huai began to enter the countdown. Wei Huai's hesitation caused the academy to lose the opportunity to unify public opinion, and the scattered rebellions in various places were simply insignificant to the Wan Dang, most of the people who complained about grievances for the academy were easily dispersed, and a few of them were quite stubborn 'Diao Min', who were accused of rebel comrades, and arrested thirteen people before and after, all of whom were tortured in prison.

In the days that followed, Wan Dang then repealed all the new policies he had put in place, and warned Wei Huai that 'in the near turmoil, the academy should be rectified first, and then the new policies should be discussed', so that the people's accumulated anger reached its peak.

They blamed the problem on Wei Huai, who could have led everyone to the light, but at the critical moment he was indifferent, sitting back and watching so many innocent people in prison. They even thought that Wei Huai's heart had changed, and he seemed to be in the same league with the government. The more widely such views spread, the more the hatred of the people towards him grew.

About thousands of people surrounded Wei Huai's house as thick as three walls and shouted at the door: "Wei Huai, you fucking bastard!" The Wan Dang has arrested so many wronged people, aren't you asking for the people's lives? Why are you still huddled at home without squeaking! The banner told us to pull, and the bloody road told us to rush, but I sat firmly on the high platform...... You shouldn't have been rescued from prison in the first place! ”

"Yes, yes! It's not a thing! The crowd shouted like a tidal wave, echoing fiercely.

After hearing no reply, the grief-stricken people dragged out the sedan chair placed in the corner of the wall, and immediately punched and kicked the object, dismantling the sedan chair to pieces.

The family members in the house were so shocked that they hurriedly reported to Wei Huai, and saw him nervously rubbing his crutches with his left hand, and beads of sweat rolled down his palms; His right hand was pressed to his nose, and his eyes were intently looking out the window, not knowing what he was looking at.

"Got it." His tone was extremely sad.

"......"

"I'm here alone." Wei Huai resolutely interrupted her words.

I only heard a few squeaks of the door, probably gone, and Wei Huai had no intention of confirming it. He also heard the sound of many stones slamming against the walls, mixed with the roars of the people, forming a different kind of melody.

He imagined the situation outside the door, the face that was torn so hideously, the eyes that were wide and full of hatred. He didn't feel terrible, but when he remembered those kind calls before, and the most revered love he had ever received, his heart tingled inexplicably.

He wanted to show his heart, he wanted to prove that he was sincere, but now he could only watch the people he loved the most stab him with knives and guns, and there was nothing he could do. He knew his responsibility, but he didn't want to be treated like that.

Xia Yuanlong has been waiting in the academy for the past two days, never going home, and only sleeping for two or three hours at night, then he beat his spirits and got up to handle official business. It was noon, and he was facing a letter of interrogation from the government, biting the barrel of his pen, his mind was at a loss, and he didn't know how to respond. Suddenly raised his head and saw Wei Huai walking slowly, then got up and said with a smile: "Brother Hemin, you don't know at home, the government has repeatedly sent people to deliver books and ask me what the situation of the academy is, what is the law of daily governance, and what is the way to uphold, I have to answer them one by one, which is really tiring." ”

He forgot to look at Wei Huai's face for a while, and pulled him to the table, "I just happened to encounter a difficult matter, please take a look at it." ”

Wei Huai glanced coldly a few times, said "oh", and collapsed on the recliner tiredly, turned his face sideways, and his mouth was closed like iron.

Xia Yuanlong's mind was all on the paperwork, and after pondering for a while, he realized that Wei Huai didn't say a word, raised his head, and saw Wei Huai staring straight at him, very hesitant, as if he was about to say something.

He smiled lightly: "My Dean Wei, what are you doing in a daze?" ”

Wei Huai's eyes suddenly had a trace of unbearability, but after thinking about it, he still struggled to speak.

"I'm going to resign as the leader and dean."

Xia Yuanlong's smile disappeared in an instant, and he was stiff and blue.

Wei Huai felt quite guilty, so he sighed and owed Xia Yuanlong: "I'm sorry." ”

The latter did not answer, but raised his head firmly and said indifferently: "You are not worthy of being this dean anymore." ”

Wei Huai was stunned for a moment, and he looked at this righteous brother suspiciously.

"When you encounter a problem, you will leave everyone aside?!" Xia Yuanlong let out a roar similar to that of those people, "I know that you Wei Huai is a person who lacks decisiveness and courage, but I never thought that you were a coward!" A coward who has been stinking for 10,000 years! ”

"Do you need to say that about me?" Wei Huai's words trembled slightly, and he gradually closed his eyes.

"I don't care what you think...... Xia Yuanlong turned his back, "but for me, indomitable is the truth." That's right, the truth, whatever it is, something to follow! ”

"But you don't know, people curse me, spit on me, and even the group I believe in the most ......" Wei Huai said this, he choked slightly, he didn't want to evaluate the people he was willing to run for.

"I understand,"

When Wei Huai heard this, he looked at Yuan Long eagerly,

"I understand them."

His face darkened suddenly.

"They're willing to torture you for you, they're dying in prison just to make a new deal. But you have done nothing, you are at ease here, what do you have to be wronged? Xia Yuanlong suppressed the anger in his heart and asked word by word.

"I am just one of the scholars who advocated the New Deal, not a hero who can fight the world. I hope that my thoughts will lead the way, and that those who come after me will succeed me...... But including all of you, with all your hopes pinned on me, how can I afford it......"

"You have a hard time, but my Xia Yuanlong doesn't have a hard time?" Xia Yuanlong pointed to his heart, "But I never thought about this. With that, he waved his sleeves and slammed the door.
