Reborn Bao Guowei, I really didn’t want to be a great writer!

Chapter 269 A disaster in the literary world? Chen Dezheng makes a comeback!

""New Road", "Crescent" and the recent issues of "The Times". By the way, didn't Bao Guowei have a novel called "The Godfather"? Jinling has said that it should control the circulation. Such novels will encourage Violence among the people is really undesirable, so I’ll shut them all down!”

Inside the Commercial Press, Chen Dezheng showed a cold smile on his face. Without any hesitation from the threats from the people in front of him, he ordered his guards to put all the books they saw into sacks.

These people are obviously not serious people. Several of them even have tattoos on their bodies. They look arrogant and look like they are gangsters.

For the national government, it is naturally the safest way to use these people to handle affairs.

At that time, if something happens, just push these people out to cover up, and everything will be fine.

"Chen Dezheng! Don't go too far! This is the Commercial Press, not a place where you can act recklessly!"

Zhang Jingchang has been working at the Times for several months. He is no longer the inexperienced young man he once was. He also has experience in dealing with government officials.

He knew that just saying this would have absolutely no effect, so he pulled out the proprietor behind the Commercial Press.

"This is Mr. Zhang Yuanji's shop. You dare to come here and act wild in the Commercial Press. If he finds out, everyone here will inevitably suffer from your superiors."

"Stop it all, these are the best books. How can you bear to be so rude? I want to report to the police, I want to find the patrol room, is there any other method?"

"Even if Zhang Yuanji himself comes, it will be useless. I will still seize them all. You'd better cooperate honestly, or I'll arrest you too!"

If books are spiritual food, then Zhang Yuanji is the cook who prepares the food. The gentleman in the cultural world will not betray him.

It can be said that he bites everyone he sees and offends people from all walks of life.

But now it's completely different. He, Chen Dezheng, has gone crazy.

He said viciously, obviously he had suffered a lot of grievances in prison and wanted to vent all the depression in his heart.

Chen Dezheng's black-rimmed glasses were full of oil stains and his face was sallow. He had obviously just come out of prison.

One of the reasons is because of the status of the founder, Mr. Zhang Yuanji.

The last time Chen Dezheng carried out the banning operation in Shanghai, he adopted a tolerant attitude towards books related to the Commercial Press.

These people's actions were even more rude, and many precious books were damaged during this process.

Chen Mengyun gritted his teeth and was about to rush forward to ask for an explanation. Fortunately, Song Fuwang hugged him tightly, so there was no real conflict.

Not only did he praise Chang Kaishen in newspapers, but even after his official reinstatement, he followed Chang Kaishen's instructions and swept away all kinds of articles and novels on the market that reflected reality.

You know, since a few years ago, Chen Dezheng has become a mad dog of Chang Kaishen.

The other party is right. Even a businessman like Huang Bohui, who has great hands and eyes, has no chance to resist when faced with the violent machine of the government.

In the political arena, he has countless friends and apprentices who hold important positions, and there are also some close friends within the government.

What if some literati were wronged accidentally? Or did it hurt them?

Zhang Yuanji, who was nearly seventy years old at the time, had participated in the reform movement of the former Qing Dynasty, served as the president of the Education Association, and had been engaged in cultural undertakings in Shanghai for many years.

"Hey, you guys are still stubborn. To tell you the truth, I just followed the order from Jinling. All books and magazines with problems must be seized and confiscated."

He has political sensitivity and keenly felt that Chang Kaishen might be using the topic to further clean up a certain group, so that he started a general cleanup in the cultural world.

"you!"

"Go away!"

Make things worse!

"I have offended enough people now. What does it mean to be a small editor-in-chief of the Times? Even if he is Huang Bohui, he still has to be polite to me."

There are too many lice to bite. Chen Dezheng has just been released from prison. In order to win Chang Kaishen's favor, he is going all out this time.

"A good man won't suffer the immediate consequences. If we fight with them, we won't gain much advantage." Song Fuwang reminded.

He ignored Zhang Jingchang's threats and discussions, and instead spoke sarcastically.

Not only did things go wrong last time, but Chang Kaishen was almost shot because of his cheating secretary.

When it was almost finished, Chen Dezheng put away his legs, stood up from the chair, and poured all the tea in the teapot into his mouth.

In the cultural world, he is regarded as a veteran figure. He promoted the Commercial Press to print educational books for many high schools and universities in the country.

Zhang Jingchang pointed at the other party angrily, seeing these acts of destroying civilization happening in front of him, but he was powerless to stop them.

When Song Fuwang and Chen Mengyun saw that the books they had worked so hard to organize were all swept away into sacks by these guards.

Several guards pushed him away, and Chen Mengyun stumbled immediately.

Does Chen Dezheng care? They were all people who died on the line of life and death. He really didn't care about the life and death of these people in the cultural circles.

I would rather kill a hundred by mistake than let one go!
This is Chen Dezheng’s own understanding.

The two of them were as anxious as ants on a hot pot. Chen Mengyun had a bad temper. He grabbed the guard who wanted to push down the bookshelf.

It's not that he doesn't want to, but that he really doesn't have the ability.

This time, after finally finding a connection, he was finally released from prison. In order to make up for his mistakes, Chen Dezheng had to do even more extreme things.

When it comes to this Zhang Yuanji, Chen Dezheng is really a little afraid.

Chen Dezheng felt indescribably comfortable.

After being released from prison, Chen Dezheng turned his resentment into motivation. Instead of resenting Chang Kaishen, he even became more crazy.

Seeing rows of books and magazines, all put into sacks, the three people in front of them gritted their teeth, but there was absolutely nothing they could do about it.

With a bang, he slammed the teapot on the table and wiped the water stains around his mouth with the corner of his clothes.

He looked at Zhang Jingchang and the other two students teasingly.

"If it weren't for Zhang Yuanji's sake, I would have even banned your Commercial Press. Go to the Shanghai Stock Exchange and find out how many have been closed on the market now?

I have opened the door to allow you to proceed, and advise you not to be ignorant of good and evil. "

He took a look at the book club, which had become a mess, and nodded with satisfaction.

As for the team members who followed him, everyone had a "full harvest." Chen Dezheng ignored the reactions of the other three people and waved his hand.

When he walked to the door, he didn't forget to turn around and threaten.

"If there are those banned books again, even your Commercial Press will close down!"

Chen Mengyun couldn't bear it any longer and roared.

"How dare you! You are acting perversely!"

"Huh?" Chen Dezheng suppressed his smile. He pushed up his crooked glasses and glanced at Chen Mengyun, who looked like a student.

"Students, study hard. If you bark like a vicious dog again, I will take you in and discipline you."

"You!" Chen Mengyun was about to have an attack, but was stopped by Zhang Jingchang, who whispered to Chen Mengyun.

"Calm down, the situation is not right."

"Humph!"

Chen Dezheng glanced at the cautious people. He dared to check the books in public because of the rights given to him by Jinling.

But because of one or two words, a college student in Shanghai was arrested. He would not do such a stupid thing.

By then, a hornet's nest has been stirred, and Chang Kaishen will have to settle accounts with him again.

Having achieved his goal, Chen Dezheng led a dozen team members and left in a swaggering manner.

When they left, these team members had excited expressions on their faces, and they couldn't help but whisper, and their words were full of mockery for these literati.

Apparently, the search over the past few days has yielded "quite a harvest." Chen Mengyun punched the wall with a bang, a few wisps of dust fell from the ceiling, and a piece of magazine fragments fell to the ground.

There was a painful expression on his face, not because of the pain in his hands, but because he felt sorry for these "spiritual food".

"Are we just like this, unable to do anything?"

Song Fuwang also sighed. The enthusiasm that had just risen in his chest seemed to be completely shattered immediately, and his whole back seemed to be bent.

After all, the gap between reality and ideals is too big.

In this era, even if you have talent and full of passion, you still have no place to use it. The environment does not allow it, and no matter how strong the manpower is, there is nothing you can do.

"Let's go find Mr. Zhang Yuanji. Maybe he can find some way to stop this."

Song Fuwang immediately suggested.

"No, even Mr. Zhang Yuanji can only save the Commercial Press. The books and magazines on the directory are also not allowed to appear. This is the tragedy of the Chinese cultural community."

Zhang Jingchang sighed.

The stakes for him in this crisis were even greater than those of the Commercial Press.

Among the books that Chen Dezheng took away just now, there were also recent issues of the Times.

It can be expected that almost all the publications issued by the "Times" during this period will be plundered by Chen Dezheng.

Affected by this wave of "clean-ups," the Times may be on the verge of falling into another trough.

In this environment, even if Song Fuwang wrote all the subsequent manuscripts, it would be of no avail.

Is Jinling crazy?
Faced with such difficulties, Zhang Jingchang could only sigh. As a small editor-in-chief, he did not have that much influence.

In fact, Zhang Jingchang knew that many members of the government had deteriorated since the purge.

The Three People's Principles and Mr. Sun's ideas have long been abandoned by this group of people.

They only care about themselves and don’t even care about the life and death of ordinary people, let alone freedom of speech.

That's just a slogan.

This Chen Dezheng is not so much a madman as a "cruel official" under Chang Kaishen.

Just like the ancient imperial power, it needs a person to do the dirty work and eradicate the cruel officials, corrupt officials, or royal guards in the court.

Chen Dezheng's performance is actually the embodiment of Chang Kaishen's will.

The last time he went in, it was not only because of the newspaper matter, but also probably to quell the anger caused by Chen Dezheng.

You must know that in the past few years, when Chen Dezheng was at his most prosperous, even Du Yuesheng and Song Ziwen had to avoid his edge.

"Forget it!" Zhang Jingchang sighed.

But the two college students couldn't bear it.

"You can't write this, you can't write that. Isn't this the first time something like this has happened?"

Chen Mengyun was hysterical when she saw a photo of Chang Kaishen in the newspaper with a headline praising Chang Kaishen.

"Commander Chang teaches the Three People's Principles to the new recruits, and the Central Plains War opens up a new look for China!"

The more he read, the angrier he became, and he trampled the newspaper under his feet.

"He is always bald and afraid of everything. He doesn't let anyone express anything. He blocks his speech and practices dictatorship.

What kind of imperial literati can only brag about!
What about democracy? What freedom are you talking about? "

Song Fuwang exhaled a breath, feeling that his body was exhausted. He sat down on the chair, obviously thinking of countermeasures.

He turned to Zhang Jingchang and asked.

"Editor Zhang, maybe we can find foreigners in the concession. After all, we are opening a store in the concession. I think your "Times" can also move here. The government is not afraid of ordinary people, but it is afraid of foreigners!"

Zhang Jingchang said with a mocking expression on his face.

"It's useless. Foreigners don't care about these things. For them, the Commercial Press is not a shop opened by foreigners. They have no obligation to protect it. Even if Chang Kaishen is afraid of foreigners, what's the use?"

What makes him feel sad is that Chang Kaishen, who always talks about the Three People's Principles, is not afraid of ordinary people and serves foreigners instead of ordinary people.

"Du Yuesheng!" Chen Mengyun slammed the table and said through gritted teeth. "Even though he has done many wrong things, worked as a gangster, and even sold opium for profit, this Du Yuesheng at least has a patriotic heart. The safety of the cultural community is related to the country's justice. If he is found, he will not sit idly by. "

Zhang Jingchang shook his head again and said helplessly.

"Du Yuesheng? I'm afraid you don't know that he is now Chang Kaishen's subordinate. How can you dare to disobey his orders?"

Everyone knows about Du Yuesheng's patriotism, but Du Yuesheng has paid homage to Chang Kaishen's dock for a long time. On the surface, no one knows about this, but in fact, everyone who knows the inside story of the government knows it well.

Song Fuwang was still unwilling to give up. He put forward several names one after another, but Zhang Jingchang refuted them all.

After serving as editor-in-chief for so long, Zhang Jingchang still has a deep understanding of many celebrities in the cultural world.

"Cai Yuanpei? He does have very senior qualifications, but you want him to stop Chang Kaishen? Don't be ridiculous. This gentleman will not care. He is now the president of the National Research Institute. He will know the news faster than us. , If you can take care of it, you have already taken care of it.”

"Mr. Hu Shizhi? This gentleman is good at managing things. I can't stand it when I see Chen Dezheng's behavior over the years, and I don't deal with him very much. We started a debate three years ago, and we have been arguing for many years, but there is no one." As a result, the problem cannot be solved.”

What Zhang Jingchang did not mention was that Hu Shi started a scolding war with Chen Dezheng, and even the government also scolded him.

Later, Hu Shi even hid abroad in order to seek refuge.

If Hu Shi had not been related to the Song siblings and Song Yaoru, it is still unknown whether he could return to China.

Chen Mengyun immediately became anxious and said angrily.

"That's possible! That's not possible either! Chief Editor Zhang, are we going to sit back and wait for death? Are we going to watch the country go into the abyss step by step in the hands of these people? What is the difference between the government and the Qing Dynasty?"

Chen Mengyun's scolding became more and more excessive.

Zhang Jingchang waved his hands in fear, fearing that others would hear him, so he closed the door and saw no one around.

Then he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Don't say it so loudly, but be wise and protect yourself!"

he reminded.

But Chen Mengyun didn't frown at all, he raised his neck and said.

"I, Chen Mengyun, are not afraid of this. As long as Chen Dezheng shoots me, thousands of me will continue to protest on the streets and tell him, Chang Kaishen, that we are not convinced. If this doesn't work, then take up arms and fight back." he"

"Hey, hey, hey!"

The more he spoke, the more outrageous he became. Zhang Jingchang quickly covered the other person's mouth.

I couldn't help but sigh in my heart, students are the most passionate group, maybe the future of the country really depends on them?

He said unhurriedly.

"It's not like there is no one who can deal with Chen Dezheng."

"Who?"

The eyes of the two college students immediately flashed.

Zhang Jingchang smiled mysteriously.

"Mr. Bao Bingwen."

"Now, the only choice is to look for him."
