Chapter 209 Zhao Ziyue (22)

Zhao Ziyue was in a daze in the room, and called out the window: "Old Zhao! Old Zhao!" "Ah! Lao Li? Come in!" Li Jingchun slowly opened the door and entered.Wiped the sweat off his brow, then shook hands with Zhao Ziyue.This handshake made Zhao Ziyue's heart hurt a bit! "Old Li!" Zhao Ziyue said in a low voice, "What's wrong with Ms. Wang? Don't think of me badly anymore, I regret it!" "She's very stable now, and she's not in danger!" Li Jingchun took off his overcoat and sat down slowly on a small chair. "Old Zhao, give me some cold water, it's so hot!" "Is herbal tea okay—"

"Also!" "Let me ask you, did Ouyang ask you to make trouble?" Li Jingchun drank a bowl of herbal tea and smiled: "No! He didn't dare! People learn how foreigners love women, but they don't learn how foreigners respect and protect women! Ouyang dared to come to me, I asked him to see what happened Men protect women! Old Zhao! Although my wrists are very thin, I dare to do my best, Ouyang doesn't have the guts!" Zhao Ziyue bowed his head and said nothing. "Old Zhao! I didn't come to you to talk about Ms. Wang. I came to ask you to do something. Are you willing to do it?"

"Let's talk! Old Li! I've lived in my twenties and haven't done anything serious yet!" "Okay!" Li Jingchun sweated off his body, and stood up again to put on his overcoat. "Old Zhao, listen, wait for me to finish before you speak. I am impatient, and I am willing to finish my sentence in one go!" "Old Li, tell me!" "I have two things to do now, but I can't take care of them myself, so I asked you to help me. What I ask you to do is about Lao Wu: I heard a message that Lao Wu and his colleagues He hooked up with foreigners, wanted to demolish the Temple of Heaven, transport all the materials to foreign countries, and then build us a western-style building at that address, and give the city council tens of thousands of dollars. Lao Wu is: Some people say fat He immediately went home and beat his father's face swollen; he had no intention of hitting his father, but to make his father's face look good. He only wanted to show the spotlight and not read the content of the matter. This time the Temple of Heaven was going to be demolished The same is true, he is definitely not doing it for money, but to show his ability to do things in the officialdom.

"I think that our country is so weak that only these few beautiful feathers—historical sites—support the facade. It is already shameful for us not to try to preserve and repair it. Do we still have the heart to destroy it! Why do foreigners buy those things? , Don’t foreigners know what it means to love historic sites and what is “beauty”, but we don’t? Lao Zhao, you and Lao Wu are good friends, I’d like you to persuade him, it’s better if he listens; otherwise, for the country For the sake of saving decency, it is worthwhile to use force with him. I don’t advocate the use of force, but it’s absolutely necessary when you encounter a fool! I definitely don’t want you to go to the street to sell shouting, Lao Zhao, you understand! Because if we We went to the street with a white flag to demonstrate, and immediately someone said that we were bribed by the people of this country and refused to sell the Temple of Heaven to that country, so the Temple of Heaven is considered to be demolished! What I mean is: go to persuade him first; don’t listen , Kill! Kill one, and the others will retreat immediately; bad people in China fear nothing but death! They killed our friends in order to preserve the Temple of Heaven.

"You may be wondering: Why do people shed blood and kill people because of the preservation of a historic site? Old Zhao! This has a lot to do with it: a nation always has a kind of historical pride, and this pride is the driving force behind the unity of the people; and a great monument is this kind of heart Our people have no national concept, so the British and French allied forces burned our Old Summer Palace, and the Germans moved away our observatory instruments, but we paid no attention to it! What a shame! How can these things be left in foreign countries? Can the people watch with wide open eyes? Let me ask, if the Chinese burn down the British monuments, will the British people go all out? No need for the UK, probably no one in the world can endure this humiliation except the Chinese! Therefore, Now we have to do it even if it means bloodshed! Arousing the patriotism and self-esteem of the Chinese people is the most important thing today! It's barking, but it can't produce food.

"Now there are only two paths to take: one is to keep your head down and go to school, and after finishing your studies, go to the folks to do something to slowly cultivate the hearts of the people, and the other is to kill people. I advocate peace, and I also know that youth It is not economical for us to take life lightly; but in this era, we have to do so! These two things should go hand in hand, but one person cannot take care of both. This is the most difficult part for me, which is to embarrass you today I have advised you to go home and farm the land, do something in the local area, and teach our ignorant and ignorant villagers. However, it is not worthwhile to go to work with Lao Wu, I don’t I know you should go like that!" "Old Li!" Zhao Zi said, "I listen to you! Tell me to go home, and I'll leave right away! Tell me to work my life and bring the knife!"

"This is exactly where I am in trouble!" Li Jingchun said slowly. "I know you are not a person who is willing to sacrifice others." Zhao Ziyue thought for a long time before saying: "This is how to do it: I will pick one and do it myself, and I don't need to tell you now. Maybe I will go home today. Maybe I'll die tomorrow. I'll go home, and I'll do what you told me to do; I'll die, and I won't complain about you a minute before I die!" "Okay! Think about it yourself! Of course, I still want you to go home!" Li Jingchun stood up and wanted to go out.

"Wait a minute! Old Li!" Zhao Ziyue pulled Li Jingchun back and asked, "What are you going to do? Didn't you say that there are two things we should do separately?" "I won't tell you about me for now! Goodbye! Old Zhao!" Zhao Ziyue waited for Wu Duan until dawn, but Wu Duan hadn't come back yet, so he endured a nap on the bed, got up, washed his face, and went to the Municipal Bureau to look for Wu Duan.Arriving at the gate of the Municipal Bureau, I saw Wu Duan coming in a foreign car from afar.The driver put the car down, but Butuan still nodded his head and dozed off.

"Wake up, sir! Here we are!" said the coachman. "Ah?" Wu Duan opened his eyes that looked like buns, and got out of the car slantly. Wu Duan was in a daze to pay for the car, Zhao Zi said to the driver: "Call another car, pull the roof apartment behind the Drum Tower!" After speaking, he pushed Wu Duan into the cart, and Wu Duan fell asleep again with a handful of copper coins in his hand. ... When we arrived at the rooftop apartment, Zhao Ziyue took Butuan to No. 3.Wu Duan lay on the bed and fell asleep without saying a word. Zhao Ziyue locked the door upside down and pulled out Ouyang Tianfeng's bayonet from under the bed.

"Wake up! Old Wu!" "Ah! Six Pots? I just touched the whiteboard!" Wu Duan muttered without opening his eyes. "You—wake up—wake up!" Zhao Ziyue yelled into Wu Duan's ear. Wu Duan barely opened his eyes, Zhao Ziyue flashed the bayonet in front of his eyes, Wu Duan rubbed his eyes, saw the knife in front of him, and woke up immediately.His already green face became even greener, as if a green leaf was floating in the green waves. "What's going on?" Butuan yawned three times after speaking. "Old Wu! Friends are friends, and things are things. Let me point to this knife and ask you: Are you planning to sell the Temple of Heaven?"

"Yes!" Wu Duan's voice trembled: "It's not my idea alone!" "I'll look for you first, no one else can escape!" Zhao Ziyue put the knife on the table with a slap. "There are many reasons for opposing this matter. You don't need to go into details. You just need to think about why foreigners buy it! You and I are good friends. Let me advise you first. You promise me to withdraw the previous agreement. San! Otherwise, Lao Wu, have you seen this knife? You can kill me, I can kill you, you can decide!" Wu Duan looked at Zhao Ziyue with an unhealthy expression, he didn't dare to move, and he didn't dare to shout; he knew that Zhao Ziyue was stronger than him, and he hadn't slept all night, so he didn't have any strength.He knew: If he shouted, his neck and head would be separated before the rescuers arrived! "Old Zhao! Do you allow me to speak?" Wu Duan asked boldly after thinking for a long time. "Tell me!" Zhao Ziyue said as he handed Wu a wet towel: "Wipe your face, let's talk when you wake up!" "Old Zhao, let me ask you three questions!" Wu Duan wiped his face with a wet towel, and he was really more energetic: "You are a good friend, answer my questions! It is unreasonable to use force alone. I just put my neck Here you go! Guess—” "Say! I'll follow you!" Zhao Ziyue sneered. "First, who told you about this?" "Old Li!" "Okay! Second, besides preserving the Temple of Heaven, is there any other purpose? Is it to—" "For taking advantage of selling antiques, I'll scold his ancestors!" "Alright! Thirdly, if I am dismissed because of revoking the previous agreement, will you guarantee to find me a job?" "I don't care!" "That's too unfriendly!" Butuan now had some courage: "I'll explain these three questions one by one, listen—" "Mr. Zhao! Call!" Li Shun said outside the door. "Who?" "Mr. Mo!" "Tell him to fight again later!" "Hey!" "Talk to you! Old Wu!" "First, why did Lao Li tell you and not others?" Wu Duan asked, "Why did he tell you now, but never asked you to do something before? Could it be that his relationship with Ms. Wang has matured?" , Want to provoke you and me to kill someone with a knife? If you kill me, you won't live; if I kill you, you won't live again; if you die, won't he be free to marry her?" "Ms. Wang has nothing to do with me. Your guesses are useless. I'll listen to your second!" "Okay! You know what you don't know about demolishing the Temple of Heaven and rebuilding it?" "have no idea!" "Build a nursing home! Turning an old waste into a charity institution, probably no one objected, right? You keep talking about preserving ancient relics, but let me ask you, if there is a civil strife and the soldiers are asked to blow up the Temple of Heaven, the soldiers can be responsible for building another one." Or rebuild a nursing home? If you can’t stop the guns and bombs of the soldiers, I don’t think there is any reason to interfere with me; besides, what I want to do is destroy antiquities and build charity!” Still the same sentence, you If you want to find something cheap from it, good!Old Zhao!My surname is Wu, and I can do everything I can; for example, if you want to find a supervisor to build a nursing home, if you tell me clearly, I will definitely get it for you! "As for myself, this is the third problem. It's not for profit, it's just for fame. You probably understand this! If I finish this matter, foreigners will give hundreds of thousands of dollars to the Municipal Bureau, and the bureau can make up for it. That is to say, everyone from the bureau chief to the servants should be grateful for our benefits. This way, on the one hand, we can save many poor officials, and on the other hand, I can build a reputation for myself. I know how to sell Antiquities are disgraceful, but under this kind of government, it is a pure benevolence to think of poor old people and poor officials. If you want to blame me, you had better blame the government first. Money, is it necessary for an official to sell antiques secretly? So from all aspects, I must do this, not for money, but for fame, and for a higher status! Some people stop me from doing it. , good, find me something equivalent to the construction committee member! Otherwise, I can't just retreat!" Zhao Ziyue's heart opened up: Li Jingchun's words are reasonable, and Wu Duan's words are not unreasonable either.He stared blankly at the knife on the table and said nothing. "Mr. Zhao, the phone is still Mr. Mo!" Li Shun said in the courtyard: "Mr. Mo said there is something important!" Zhao Ziyue looked at Wu Duan, frowned and walked out. "Hey! Lao Mo! Is... what?... Lao Li?... I'll go!" Zhao Ziyue hung up the phone, the color on his face was gone, he ran into the house, grabbed his hat and ran out. "What's the matter? Old Zhao!" Wu Duan asked. "Lao Li was taken away by the Law Enforcement Office!" Zhao Ziyue just said this, and ran out of the gate in panic. "Old Mo! How's it going?" Zhao Ziyue stomped his feet anxiously. "I've cleared it up, we can go see Lao Li first, he's in the Nanyuan Military Law Enforcement Office!" Mo Danian's face was also white, and he said tremblingly: "Go! You don't have any prohibited things on you? You have to go there for a physical examination! You are not allowed to bring a small paper knife!" "I didn't bring anything with me! Go! Lao Mo!" The two ran to the street and hired a motorcycle to go to Nanyuan.Sitting in the car, no one spoke all the way.When he arrived at Nanyuan Command, Mo Danian went to meet an officer.The officer only allowed them to see Li Jingchun for five minutes.Then he called Zhao Ziyue in and checked his body. The officer sent two guards to lead them to the prison of the Law Enforcement Department. One of the two guards is from Shandong with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and the other is from Fengtian with a flat head and thin lips.Both of them are in their early six feet, with straight eyebrows and eyes, with the viciousness of tigers and leopards, but not the dignity and majesty of tigers and leopards.With pistols hanging from their waists and two strings of ammunition crossed on their backs, there is no difference in their hearts between being a thief and a soldier. As long as they have pistols and ammunition, they will have enough to eat. The barracks prison is south of the headquarters.A row of low houses, surrounded by a wall made of earth, and outside the wall are surrounded by armed soldiers at five steps and one post at a time.The newly planted small willow trees are mostly dead and half alive, with a few green branches sparsely spreading inside and outside the earth wall.There is a small iron gate, and there is a line of soldiers standing outside the gate: the shining spears flicker in the sunlight, making the surrounding area look cold, even though there is a hot sun in the sky! There are more than 30 small houses in that row, and each room is only three feet long and two feet wide.There were no beds, no chairs, nothing but a living man on a big chain.The surrounding earthen walls are about a foot away from the row of houses; horse manure is drying on the left, and the place where prisoners come out to defecate once a day is on the right.There are flies and dung beetles buzzing in the courtyard, and the sound of chains in the house is connected with the only tragic song in the world!The house is wet and loose, and when it rains, groups of small mushrooms grow in the corners of the walls.There are no windows on all sides, and there is only an iron gate in front, which is open during the day and locked at night: the prisoners in the house often die behind the iron gate without waiting to open the door again!The dung smell around and the smell in the house, except for those whose resistance is stronger than cattle and horses, very few people can live there for ten days and a half months!The soldiers outside the gate stood there as adults. They were not afraid, because their body structure was the same as that of wild animals. When they arrived at the prison, two soldiers led them to Li Jingchun.Li Jingchun was only wearing a trousers jacket, the shoulders of the jacket were torn, and there were patches of blood stains, bracelets were locked on his two thin wrists, shackles were caught on his two skinny legs, his face was bruised and swollen, Standing with head bowed against the wall. That Fengtian soldier went over and kicked the iron gate: "Damn, someone saw you coming!" Li Jingchun slowly raised his head and looked out.Seeing Zhao Zi said, he lowered his head again. Zhao Zi said, Mo Danian's tears all fell down. "Speak quickly!" The two soldiers said to them together. Mo Danian took out two five-yuan bills and stuffed them into the hands of the two soldiers. The two soldiers glanced at each other and stepped back a dozen steps. "Thank you! Old Zhao! Old Mo!" Li Jingchun looked down at the iron bracelet on his hand and said slowly, "This is the last time we meet!" "Old Li! Why?" Zhao Ziyue asked. "It's hard to say! Time probably won't allow me to elaborate!" Mo Danian touched the wallet in his pocket, then glanced at the two soldiers, and said to Li Jingchun, "Speak quickly! Old Li!" "I have a pistol. I bought it from a deserter at home four years ago. I still have a few bullets." Li Jingchun took two steps forward and said in a low voice, "It's for my suicide! Because At that time, my world-weary thoughts were in full bloom. Later, I changed my mind. I thought that the most dishonorable thing in the world was suicide; so that gun became a sharp weapon for assassination. Suicide and assassination are not economical, but stimulated by current events , let my emotions trump my reason; no matter how you say it, assassination is better than suicide, because the person I want to kill is the public enemy of the people, and I don’t regret it, so dying like this is somewhat better than suicide!" Mo Danian couldn't bear to look at Li Jingchun, and tilted his head to the side.In the house next to Li Jingchun, a prisoner was leaning on the iron door, biting his teeth, and using the iron chain on his wrist to brush down the pus and blood on his leg wounded by the military club. fly.Mo Danian turned his head back. "Old Zhao, do you still remember that He Jinshan you met at the Women's Rights Conference! His father was, at that time, the guardian envoy of daimyo. He and Ouyang Tianfeng were close friends in casino brothels. His father, He Zhanyuan, is now appointed as the governor of Gyeonggi Commander of the guard. When He Zhanyuan was in Daming, countless people died under his hands. Now that he takes office in Beijing, he wants to intimidate. In addition to shooting a few prisoners who have not committed capital crimes in thoroughfares and alleys, he will also Kill one or two more famous people to suppress all popular movements. Since Ouyang Tianfeng has a good friend with He Jinshan, he named He Jinshan and told his father to kill Professor Zhang. Of course you can guess why he did this. "I got this news from Ms. Wang, because Ouyang Tianfeng was drunk and threatened her a few days ago, and he slipped his tongue. As for me, I didn't work for Professor Zhang, because we didn't have a very close relationship; I did it for Killing folks! Old Zhao! When I went to you yesterday, I made up my mind, but I didn’t tell you; you have to keep a secret when you do this kind of thing. I was waiting for him outside Yongding Gate this morning, hey You didn’t kill him! For the details, wait until you read the newspaper. Needless to say, I hate myself for not being successful. Run fast, I may make it! Hey! It's over—" "Don't worry, Lao Li! Of course we will try to save you!" Mo Danian said with tears in his eyes. "No need! Lao Mo! Lao Zhao! If you really love me, you don't have to save me! The so-called rescuer has two ways: first, stir up a storm, die more people, and die for me, I will die with regret; , spend money on bribes; I did not kill him, the public enemy of the people, but used money to campaign him and make him a fortune, I am willing to die, I can't bear to see this!" The two soldiers came over again, Mo Danian secretly handed them the wallet, and they returned it.Li Jingchun sighed and glanced at Mo Danian.Then go on to say: "I often say: there are two ways to save the country, one is to save the people, and the other is to kill the warlords; - to kill! I don't recognize the warlords as 'human beings' at all, so there is no need to talk about humanity! Now the people live or the warlords live Problems, peace, and humanity are just the most popular literary titles, not the truth about seeing the social situation clearly and aspiring to revolution! Saving the people is humanity, so killing warlords is saving the people! Warlords are tigers, wolves, and poisonous insects. I cannot fight with wild animals. Poisonous insects speak humanely! "The age of darkness has arrived! How can there be dawn without darkness! "Old Mo! Old Zhao! You work hard and teach the people. Your work is more difficult than mine, and the effect is greater than mine! I just gave up my life. You are going to suffer like widows with tears in your eyes. Raising a young child is just as difficult! Leave me alone and do your business! "There are only two things I beg of you: to go to the dormitory to pack my things and send them home; and to help my mother—" Li Jingchun cried, "You can do what you can to help her! She has some money , not much! I only ask you two things, Lao Zhao, Lao Mo, you go away!" Mo Danian stared straight in the eyes, unable to speak, and reluctant to leave.Zhao Ziyue stomped his feet, and grabbed Li Jingchun's bracelet-wearing hand through the iron fence: "Old Li! Goodbye!" After speaking, he dragged Mo Danian out. Walking outside the prison, Zhao Ziyue gritted his teeth and said, "Old Mo! You do yours, I'll do mine, do it quickly! Don't listen to Lao Li! You must exercise! You hire another car, and I'll take this one." If you have any news, call me to Tianjin Shenyi University!" "Old Li! I will try my best to do it for you. I dare not say whether it is successful or not!" Wu Duan said to Li Jingchun: "Unfortunately, you failed, and you must die; then, I beg you to forgive me today before you die." Mistakes in the past! I always thought I was smart, capable, and knowledgeable, but I was actually a fool! It’s not that I don’t know what’s good and what’s bad; but I never say good things, only bad things; because It's nice to say, it's funny! I know in my heart that you are a good person, Lao Li, but this morning I deliberately told Lao Zhao: You and Ms. Wang have a secret! Lao Li! Will you forgive me? Forgive me? I'm an asshole! I thought I knew a lot, knew a lot, and knew a lot of secrets; in fact, I didn't understand anything, and I didn't even know where I was standing and what I was doing! Lao Li, I regret it! You Your uprightness illuminates the dark shadows in my heart! If you die unfortunately, don’t think I’m a bad person until you die! I know you never think about me, but I go further and hope that you will admit that I am a bad person before you die. Friends who are making progress—" "Definitely!" Li Jingchun nodded. "Don't worry about dismantling and selling the Temple of Heaven, Lao Li, I will never do it again. Not only that, but I also want to resign and fight back. As for my future career, I don't have a definite plan yet. Lao Li, I have never talked with you. You said something intimate, today you have to teach me, if you admit that I am a friend! What do you say I should do?" "Old Wu! Thank you!" Li Jingchun lowered his head and said: "There is no need to talk about the past , Your faults, my faults, it’s all in the past, why mention it again! Now, I beg you, don’t go to exercise for me, and don’t come to see me again, assuming I can live for a few more days. Because: we can understand each other, we are true friends even if we don’t meet, life cannot be changed; Watch you do it! "For your future, I can only tell you: devote yourself to studying! For example, if you love to study municipal affairs, well, hurry up and prepare for foreign languages, and then go to foreign countries to learn; because this kind of knowledge is not available in the "Five Classics" and "Four Books". What you find out is not something you can understand just by reading a few books. Go to a foreign country to read and study, and then you can really understand it. After you learn it well, you don’t have to worry about it being useless; because China’s future will definitely go to construction, Specialized talents are necessary. Of course, maybe China will still teach science after five thousand years, and build railways according to the eight seals; An institution where professionals work is not a nursing home where you get a salary as an official. When those who work in the Ministry of Finance understand what finance is, and those who work in the Municipal Council understand municipal affairs, when will China have hope; if you always know how to make stereotypes Financial management, I can talk about the administration of "Spring and Autumn", I simply said: Even if the Bodhisattva, the Jade Emperor, Jesus, Muhammad, and the alliance come to protect China, China will not be better! "Old Wu! Go get ready, prepare well! Don't worry about me, I am willing to die! What I hate the most is that I spent a few years on philosophy, it is useless! If I study finance, law, business, or It’s another practical science. I may have made some achievements. It’s not so easy to die! I hate myself, not regret it, I’m willing to die!” As for me and Ms. Wang, Lao Wu, you go under the bed in my dormitory Look, there are two letters from her, you and Lao Zhao will understand after reading it.This is not an important matter at first, but people who are dying have very meticulous minds and think about everything before they were alive, so I also want you to understand the relationship between me and her.It's over!Lao Wu!goodbye! "
