An official from Beitai City was ashamed of Chen Zikun's questioning, but they were all old foxes who had been officials for many years and were familiar with such things. Mu Yichen immediately stated that he would solve Erxi's official employment status and give him another three months of salary advance to solve the urgent problem.

Xiao Lang also said that he would squeeze out some funds from the finances to completely solve the problem of the slums in the river beach. Chen Zikun asked them to come up with a specific timetable on the spot. Xiao Lang thought for a while and said: "Most of these refugees fled from Henan, with a huge number. It will take at least two years to achieve results. After all, our energy cannot be all on this."

Chen Zikun said: "Okay, I'll give you a grace until the first half of 1949. At that time, the chaos in the river beach cannot be rectified, but you are the only one asking."

Xiao Lang solemnly answered: "I dare to issue a military order."

When they said these words, the people in the slums on the beach were watching, one by one, one by one, was unkempt, ragged, numb or humble. They only started to talk after the officials left. Some people said that the big man was Chen Zikun, so a group of people called the Master Qingtian, but some young people sneered at him, saying that the world was as dark as crows, and the officials were just acting.

Chen Zikun returned to Jiangwan Villa and held a meeting. All officials from Beitai, including political, economic, financial and military affairs, were present.

After everyone sat down, they exchanged greetings with each other for a while. Chen Zikun gave his opening remarks: "Before the meeting, I want to announce the recent battle situation to everyone."

The magnificent conference room suddenly became silent.

"In January, the East China Field Army of Chen Yi's army of the Communist Army and the Central Plains Field Army of Liu Bocheng's army launched fierce attacks on southern Shandong and southwestern Shandong, annihilated 60,000 people, and Xuzhou was in a tight spot."

Everyone started whispering, and they always heard good news on the radio, but they didn't expect that they would be defeated so badly.

Chen Zikun knocked on the table: "Xuzhou is in danger, and the gates of Jiangbei are wide open. If this industrial city falls into the hands of the emperor, the Communist army will inevitably be like a tiger and is unstoppable. We cannot control how to fight. What we have to do is maintain stability. The population of Beitai has increased sharply, forming unstable factors. Any careless handling will cause serious consequences. Remember one thing, water can carry a boat and can overturn it. The hearts of the people are always more important than guns."

Everyone nodded frequently.

At the same time, in a straw shed in a slum in the river beach, several middle-aged men were holding a meeting, and the leader of a bearded man said: "Comrades, the Kuomintang reactionaries have adopted a more cunning strategy of tenderness, which has forced us to call for a strike to postpone it. We must keep our eyes open for confusion about the enemy and not be trapped."

One person said: "Chen Zikun has a high prestige among the people. Some older workers originally agreed to cooperate with the strike, but now they have repented, saying that when Marshal Chen comes, there will be a blue sky."

The bearded man pondered and said, "Chen Zikun has been in Jiangbei for many years, and his hands have been stained with blood from innocent people. This person is very good at disguising and is extremely difficult to deal with. Our strength is not strong enough and cannot face him head-on for the time being. I will ask my superiors to send comrades with more experience in fighting and theoretical knowledge to lead our work."

After the meeting, the comrades walked out of the straw shed one after another. Lu Erxi stood at the door and held a war. His vigilant eyes swept to various places. The bearded man patted Erxi on the shoulder and said, "Erxi, is your mother's illness better?"

Lu Erxi said: "Uncle Jiang, thanks to the help of the workers, my mother's illness has improved a lot."

The bearded man nodded, took out a stack of gold vouchers from his pocket and stuffed them: "Er Xi, please say hello if you have something to do."

Erxi took the money and nodded gratefully. The bearded man put his coat on his shoulder and strided away with great strides.

...

In the provincial capital and Central Street, groups of students were marching and demonstrating again. The slogans of "anti-US garrison" and "anti-civil war" were flying all over the sky. As before, the students of the Provincial High School acted as the main force, but the organizer Yang Shugen did not stand in front. He was protected by his classmates and issued orders in the center of the team, and commanded as if he was determined.

A car was marching in the crowd, with many slogans posted on the glass of the car, and its vision was blocked. Lin Wenlong, who was sitting in the back seat, was not angry and sighed: "The people are awakened."

The driver said: "Mr. Lin, the student goes out to the streets to cause trouble every few days. Why are you very happy?"

Lin Wenlong said: "You don't understand. This is called forcing democracy. Only the awakened people can make the government clear, end the one-party dictatorship, and establish a democratic government."

The driver said, "I don't understand those big principles. I only know that your ship will be a little bit wrong."

Lin Wenlong said: "It's okay, you can drive slowly."

It took an hour to drive out of the crowd. When I arrived at the passenger terminal, I saw that the passenger ship heading to Shanghai had already set off. Lin Wenlong couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Although I missed the ship, it's worth it."

In the room facing the street on the fourth floor of the Central Hotel, the secret agents of the Bureau of Secretariat were monitoring the crowd with telescopes. Three telescopes locked a face at the same time, which was the Yang Shugen of the senior high school.

Chen Kai took out the files obtained from the school and compared them: "That's right, it's this person. This kid has been a periphery from the Normal College since he attended the Normal College. He has organized students to make trouble many times. He is one of the culprits. I'll deal with him tonight."

That night, at 7:30, Yang Shugen was discussing with several student activists in the dormitory about how to march on the street tomorrow. Suddenly the door was knocked, and he asked vigilantly: "Who."

No one answered, Yang Shugen asked a boy to open the door to check, and stood by the window and was ready to evacuate at any time.

The boy opened the door and saw an envelope on the ground. He picked it up and handed it to Teacher Yang.

Poplar root pulled out the letter paper and saw a line of words on it: "You have been exposed, please withdraw quickly, and the signature is only one Arabic numeral 2.

"Students, if there is an emergency, I will transfer it immediately. You will go back and take care of yourself." Yang Shugen had no time to pack his luggage, so he left the door and left the back door of the school. The students also had a tacit understanding and dispersed.

Just three minutes after Yang Shugen left, two black government licensed cars drove into the school. A group of secret agents jumped out of the car, kicked open the door and rushed in, searched around, Shen Kai walked in with a pistol, and saw the kettle sitting on the coal ball stove still steaming, and immediately said: "I haven't run away, chase me."

The spies pulled out a wolf dog from the car, smelled the shoes under the bed, and the wolf dog barked and followed him.

Poplar was walking deep and shallowly in the alley. He heard the barking of dogs behind him and immediately accelerated his pace. However, the sound of car brakes came from ahead. The spies had already set up a net of heaven and earth, and he had nowhere to escape, except for the brightly lit Maple Forest Road in the distance.

In the midst of lightning, Poplar made a decision to go to Fenglin Road.

Fenglin Road is the residential area of ​​Jiangdong senior officials. The guards are tight and idle people are not allowed to enter. However, Yang Shugen is decent and a teacher from a high school, so he naturally has a way to get in. He took out his business card to the police on duty at the intersection, saying that he was Mr. Chen’s teacher and was coming for home visits. The police believed it and let him in.

The spies arrived and were stopped by the patrol officer. Chen Kailiang came out of the Secret Service and said, "We are chasing the important criminals, and you can be responsible if the person runs away."

The police dared not stop them and allowed them to break in.

Yang Shugen came to the door of Chen Mansion and was stopped by the guards again. He repeated the same trick and said he was visiting his home. The guard told him that the second young master was not at home and went to his grandma's house with Secretary Liu and asked him to come back another day.

Hurry footsteps sounded behind him, and a group of spies appeared. They surrounded them from both ends, one by one with cold eyebrows, a sneer on his face, and a loaded pistol in his hands.

The poplar tree calmed down instead, tidied up her clothes calmly, and stood solemnly with her head held high.

Chen Kai grinned and waved his hand, "Tie me this ** molecule."

Suddenly two beams of light shot over, and the vulgar spies bent down to cover their eyes, showing their ugly appearance, and a Willis jeep drove like lightning. The young master of the Chen family and Air Force Captain Chen Bei were sitting in the car.

"Popular tree roots, get on the bus." Chen Beidao.

Yang Shugen had a quick eye and his feet, and he jumped into the jeep. The gate of Chen Mansion opened. Chen Bei stepped on the accelerator and went in. Chen Kai opened his legs and chased after him, but was stopped by the guard: "I'm sorry, Mr. Chen, you can't bring a gun in."

Chen Kai said: "That's the ** molecule."

The guards were all elite soldiers selected by Chen Zikun himself. They were loyal and only believed in the law. The secret bureau’s mission was good elsewhere and did not work here. In short, just one sentence, you can go in, only one person is allowed, and you cannot carry a gun.

In desperation, Chen Kai had to remove his gun and enter the mansion to persuade Chen Bei to hand over Yang Shugen. At the same time, he asked his subordinates to guard the front and back doors of Chen Mansion to prevent the prisoners from escaping.

In the living room of Chen Mansion, Chen Bei stood on the second floor, looking down at Chen Kai: "Mr. Chen, what's the point of coming to my house in the middle of the night?"

Chen Kai said, "Young Master, I am here to capture Yang Shugen. This person is an underground person, and he is extremely guilty..."

Chen Bei interrupted him impatiently: "What evidence do you have to say he is a criminal."

"I have enough evidence. Please hand over the person first and let's talk slowly." Although Chen Kai was angry, he still maintained enough respect. After all, the Air Force is the one who cannot afford to offend, especially this, who is Mrs. Jiang's adopted son, who is used to lawlessness. Even Qu Guangwu was dismissed and investigated by him. He was a small major in the Secret Service, so he naturally did not dare to force him.

Chen Beidao: "I won't talk to you. I'm going to bed late, please go back."

Chen Kai said: "Young Master, don't make me embarrassed, should you ask Chief Chen for instructions?"

Chen Beidao: "If you want to use my father to suppress me, please give me a try. The phone is on the table. He is now inspecting Beitai. You can just hang up the long distance."

Chen Kai thought for a while and said, "Well, I'll give the eldest son a night to think about it, see you again." After that, he turned around and left.

Chen Bei returned to the room, Yang Shugen resolutely made a move and wanted to leave: "I can't implicate you." But his feet didn't move at all.
