Chapter 20 The burning of Zhao's house


The scene was chaotic.

Some people shouted to go to Zhaojialou to settle accounts with Cao Rulin, while others firmly opposed violent demonstrations.

As they were talking, people on both sides started fighting.

Chen Zikun watched helplessly as a chubby student was punched in the face.

My glasses were broken, and I immediately squatted on the ground in pain.

The attacker walked away menacingly.

The students, who had no first aid experience, panicked and shouted: "The commander-in-chief is injured."

Chen Zikun stepped forward to help the injured fat student and check his wounds.

Fortunately, the lens fragments did not hurt his eyes, but only scratched the skin on his face and caused a little blood.

Chen Zikun tore off a piece of shirt and asked him to hold the wound.

"Thank you, classmate."

The fat student said, covering his face.

He was highly myopic and could not see Chen Zikun's face clearly, so he thought he was his classmate.

But Chen Zikun remembered this face.

This fat man often talked loudly in the Peking University library.

He was the leader of some academic society.

He had a good relationship with Xu Tingge, and his name seemed to be Fu Sinian.

Fu Sinian got up from the ground, looking extremely depressed.

He sighed, and walked back together with a group of college students.

But another group of people parted ways with them and headed towards Zhaojialou along Chang'an Street.

Yao Yilei was worried that something might happen to her mother, so she quickly took Chen Zikun and ran to the Liuguo Hotel to make a call.

However, the operator said that Zhaojialou's phone had been busy and could not be connected.

After struggling for more than ten minutes, she still couldn't get through, so she simply put down the phone. , said to Chen Zikun: "Let's go to Zhaojialou."

I started the car and drove to Zhaojialou, but Chang'an Street was tightly blocked by the student team.

Flyers with flakes of snow were scattered everywhere.

There were patriotic slogans as far as the eye could see.

The patrol police on the street did not dare to stop them.

Holding batons, they tried to maintain order.

The roads were different, so we had to take a detour, but almost all the roads were blocked.

Yao Yilei was sweating profusely: "What's going on today?

Are all the students in Beijing taking to the streets?"

"Probably some bad news has come from Paris."

Chen Zikun replied.

When he went to Xiong Xiling's house for a routine visit a few days ago, he seemed to have heard him mention that Liang Qichao had telegraphed again from Paris, saying that the peace meeting Diplomatic efforts on the Shandong issue have completely failed.

"But why did they go to Zhaojialou?

The failure of diplomacy is not Uncle Cao's problem."

Yao Yilei was not sensitive enough to national affairs after all.

"Because your Uncle Cao is a pro-Japanese faction.

If the students don't look for him, who should they look for?

But you don't have to worry.

The scholar rebellion won't happen in three years.

They will just curse a few words and won't take action."

"This puts me at ease."

Yao Yilei patted her chest.

She felt that what Chen Zikun said made sense.

The students were not bandits and would definitely not do anything outrageous.

There was no need to worry too much about her mother.

Suddenly there was a knock on the car door.

He turned around and saw several anxious young faces.

Chen Zikun lowered the window and asked, "Is something wrong?"

"One of our classmates is suddenly ill.

Could you please take him to the hospital?"

Chen Zikun looked around and saw that there was indeed a young man dressed as a student sitting on the ground, with a pale face and blood on the corner of his mouth.

"Get in the car quickly."

Chen Zikun opened the door and carried the patient onto the car with the students.

The space in the car was limited and there was no room for several people.

The students recommended one person to accompany him to the hospital.

The car drove straight to the nearest French hospital.

While driving, Chen Zikun asked: "What disease does this classmate have?"

"He had tuberculosis before.

This demonstration made his voice hoarse and caused old illnesses.

He was coughing up blood just now."

The classmate introduced, and then complained about the patient: "Guo Qinguang, I asked you not to come, but you have to come. ".

"If I are not allowed to participate in the demonstration, I would rather die."

Guo Qinguang's voice was weak, his breathing was rapid, but his face had a sickly blush.

"Why are you marching?"

Yao Yilei asked a silly question, which immediately aroused Guo Qinguang's anger.

"Miss, you probably didn't read the National Gazette the day before yesterday.

Mr.

Lin Changmin wrote an article calling for: Shandong will perish, and the country will no longer be a country.

We are willing to unite the 40 million people who swear to death.

If Qingdao is occupied by Japan, China will perish. , but you are still here, you are really a businesswoman who doesn’t know how to hate your country.”

Guo Qinguang spoke righteously and had a cold look on his face, but Yao Yilei continued to ask without knowing anything: "Qingdao has been occupied by the Japanese for four years, why did you only think of protesting today?"

Guo Qinguang sneered and shook his head.

Just as he was about to say something important, the classmate next to him advised him: "They are kind enough to send you to the hospital, so just stop saying a few words."

When the car arrived at the hospital, Guo Qinguang regained some energy, thanked the two of them, and entered the hospital with the help of his classmates.

Chen Zikun turned around and drove towards Zhaojialou again, but the car broke down again halfway, so he had to call a foreign car to rush over. , when I got to the place, I saw thick smoke billowing in the distance.

Zhaojialou was originally the residence of Zhao Wensu, a bachelor of Wenge in the Longqing Dynasty of the Ming Dynasty.

It was later purchased by Cao Rulin and built more and more magnificently.

The courtyard is a combination of Chinese and Western styles, with lawns and pavilions.

Compared with it, the Yao Mansion is just Look shabby There are more, but today’s Zhaojia Building is different from the past.

The door is open, and the walls and windows are covered with rotten vegetable leaves and rotten eggs.

Several of the houses have been set on fire, and the fire is raging, but there are still many people chasing each other in the yard.

Beat and curse.

Chen Zikun and Yao Yilei hurriedly ran into the courtyard and saw several students surrounding a person, punching and kicking them.

One of the students swung an iron bar and beat the man on the head.

The sound of the iron bar piercing the air was frightening.

The students beat and cursed: "I'll beat you to death, you traitor, and eliminate harm for the people."

Not far away stood a reporter wearing a top hat, holding a camera and snapping away at the camera.

It was Ruan Mingchuan, an acquaintance whom he had just met today.

"Isn't that Uncle Zhang?

Please help him quickly."

Yao Yilei recognized that the person who was beaten was her father's friend, the Minister to Japan Zhang Zongxiang, and hurriedly shook Chen Zikun's arm and begged him to take action.

Chen Zikun couldn't bear to see so many people bullying one person.

Just as he was about to step forward, a man in a suit rushed out from the diagonal stab and threw himself on Zhang Zongxiang.

He shouted something in Japanese and the students tried hard to move him.

But it didn't help, so he threw down the iron rod angrily and cursed: "You, a traitor, will be made easier today."

Suddenly there was a loud siren in the distance, followed by footsteps like a torrential rain.

A large group of patrolmen in black uniforms and soldiers in gray uniforms rushed to the scene.

The students screamed and fled in all directions.

Seeing that something was wrong, Chen Zikun also pulled Yao Yilei to prepare.

He tried to escape, but there were military police all over the place, and he had no way to go from heaven to earth, so he had no choice but to be captured.

The soldiers and police came with great ferocity and captured all the thirty students who could not escape in time.

Chen Zikun, who was wearing a white shirt and looked like a student, was also affected and was driven into the group of male students by the soldiers with rifle butts.

Yao Yilei was rushed to the side of the female students.

The scene was in chaos, with scoldings from the military and police and protests from the students one after another.

No one had time to listen to their excuses.

Ruan Mingchuan held his camera high and shouted: "I am a newspaper reporter."

The military and police did not arrest him, but just drove him away.

The officers who led the team were Director of the Police Department Wu Bingxiang and Infantry Commander Li Changtai.

Seeing how serious the situation had become, they quickly ordered to put out the fire and rescue people.

The unconscious Zhang Zongxiang was carried into a car and taken away, and all the arrested students were Taken to the police station.

The unlucky Chen Zikun was also taken to the police station and locked up with the students.

Behind the bars, the students' excitement calmed down a little and they began to talk to each other.

"I'm from Peking University, where are you from?"

"I'm from the Normal University."

"I'm from Huiwen."

"Classmate, how about you?"

A student patted Chen Zikun's shoulder enthusiastically and asked.

"I'm a rickshaw puller."

Chen Zikun looked at him and recognized the man who beat Zhang Zongxiang with an iron rod in Zhaojialou.

"Aren't you Chen Zikun?"

shouted a strange Peking University student.

Chen Zikun knew that the competition between him and Xu Er had caused quite a stir in Peking University and many people knew him, so he nodded and said calmly: "It's me."

The man became excited and said to everyone: "He is indeed a coachman, but he is also from our Peking University."

"I am Kuang Husheng from Beijing Higher Normal University."

Student Tiegun extended his hand to Chen Zikun.

The people next to him talked about it and said: "Kuang Husheng has made great achievements today.

If he hadn't brought kerosene and tap fire, the fire might not have been able to burn."

"He was the first to jump into the Cao family.

Kuang Husheng is our pioneer and our hero."

Chen Zikun was immediately in awe.

This Kuang Husheng was really powerful.

He was so fierce in front of college students.

If he became a horse thief outside the customs, he would not be able to kill all the people.

"Nice to meet you."

Chen Zikun held Kuang Husheng's hand.

In the director's office, Wu Bingxiang was upset and thirsty.

The students made a big fuss today.

They burned down Director Cao's house and injured Zhang Zongxiang.

It seemed that this chaos was just the beginning.

As the police director, he I'm afraid I'm going to have a headache for a while.

"Report" The subordinate knocked on the door and came in.

He raised his hand and saluted: "Among the students just arrested, there is a girl who claims to be the daughter of Deputy Chief Yao of the Ministry of Communications."

The daughter of the old Yao family is really careless and wants to get involved in everything.

Wu Bingxiang didn't have time to pay attention to such a trivial matter, so he waved his hand and said: "Let it go."

Yao Yilei was released, and she wanted to rescue Chen Zikun as well, but the entire police station was in a mess, and no one had time to pay attention to her, so she had to go home and ask for help.

When I returned to Yao Mansion, I saw my mother sitting on the sofa in the living room, with a look of shock on her face.

"Mommy."

Yao Yilei threw herself into her mother's arms, "Are you okay?"

"Mommy is fine, hey, how did you know something happened?"

Mrs.

Yao was a little surprised.

"I went to Zhaojialou and was wrongly arrested by the police.

Chen Zikun is still detained by them.

Mommy, please save him quickly."

Yao Yilei said hurriedly.

"You know how to save me from getting into trouble.

Why don't you go back to the house and reflect?"

Chief Yao's majestic voice sounded, with anger on his face.

Yao Yilei knew that her father was really angry this time, so she didn't dare to speak, so she answered obediently.

Went to the house.

Chief Yao looked at his daughter's back and sighed, and said to his wife: "Zhang Zongxiang was seriously injured by them.

I'm going to the hospital now.

You can keep a close watch on your daughter at home.

In this troubled time, we must not cause trouble again
