Chapter 21

Amidst the voices of expelling Chen inside and outside Anhui Province, on October 1927, 10, the Nanjing National Government rebelled against public opinion and announced the reorganization of the Anhui Provincial Government, appointing Chen Tiaoyuan, Bai Wenwei, Zhang Qiubai, He Shizhen, Han An, Tang Zhixian, Lei Xiaocen, Chen Zhongfu and Ning Kun are the provincial committee members, with Chen Tiaoyuan as the chairman, Tang Zhixian concurrently serves as the Director of the Civil Affairs Department, Chen Zhongfu concurrently serves as the Director of the Finance Department, He Shizhen concurrently serves as the Director of the Education Department, and Zhang Qiubai concurrently serves as the Director of the Construction Department.As soon as the news came out, it was tantamount to adding fuel to the fire.

The Republic of China implemented the "big department system", and the provincial government set up "four halls". The construction department is a fat office, which is responsible for the unified control and management of the province's industrial and commercial mining, transportation construction, agriculture, forestry and water conservancy, and cooperative undertakings. Economic construction affairs.After Zhang Qiubai took office, he obeyed Chen Tiaoyuan's words, nodded and bowed, and walked around Chen Tiaoyuan's ass like a pug all day long.

In July 1928, one day, Wang Yaqiao and Zheng Qingshi walked out of the intersection of Xiafei Road and Baokangli. On the sidewalk, Zhang Qiubai walked towards him.Unprepared, Wang Yaqiao froze for a moment, then immediately raised the civilized stick in his right hand, and hit Zhang Qiubai.Seeing that the situation was not good, Zhang Qiubai turned around and ran away.

Wang Yaqiao scolded while chasing him: "You son of a bitch, where are you running?!"

Hearing the scolding, Zhang Qiubai panicked even more and ran even faster.Before he ran far, the top hat on his head was blown off by the wind.The flustered look made passers-by laugh.Wang Yaqiao ran to the top hat, raised his foot, squashed the top hat flat, and said to Zheng Qingshi angrily: "This Wan traitor, I don't know why he came to Shanghai to hang around. He escaped the first day of the junior high school, but he couldn't escape the fifteenth day! Sooner or later I'm going to fix him."

On the night of August 8, Wang Yaqiao hurriedly knocked on No. 15 Pope Road (now Taicang Road) in the French Concession.

"Master Jiu, it's so late, what's the hurry?" Zheng Qingshi rubbed his eyes, stretched his waist, and asked.The weather was sweltering, and he only wore a pair of large underpants.

"Fatty Zhang sent a telegram saying that 'Shuo Shu' has come out of the hole." Wang Yaqiao said.Zheng Qingshi knew that "Shuo Shu" was Wang Yaqiao's code name for Chen Tiaoyuan, but because of the strict discipline of the specific situation, Wang Yaqiao didn't say anything, so he was absolutely not allowed to ask more questions.

"Do you need me to go?"

"No. It's already been arranged." Wang Yaqiao walked around the room, lit a cigarette, took a puff, and asked, "You...do you still have any money?"

"How much do you need?"

"Twenty dollars."

At that time, a few dollars could feed a family of three for a month. 100 is not a small amount.

Zheng Qingshi shook his head.

Wang Yaqiao walked around the room while smoking.After a while, he said: "I'm waiting to use it urgently. ... How about this, Yuan Zhen, the chief programmer of People's Daily, lives in the foreigner's apartment next door. He and I are friends. Please come and tell me on your behalf." I'll borrow it."

Knowing Wang Yaqiao's temperament, Zheng Qingshi put on a short-sleeved shirt without saying a word, and knocked on the door of Cheng Yuanchun's house according to the address he provided.Cheng Yuanzhen was working on the manuscript under the desk lamp.He asked, "Did Wang Laojiu call you here? In the middle of the night, what's the rush?"

Hearing that he wanted to borrow 100 yuan, Cheng Yuanzhen frowned and said, "I only have 100 yuan in my pocket. I have to eat and do errands tomorrow... just lend him 80 yuan. Anyway, he borrows more and less. Meat buns beating dogs - there is no return."

Back in the dormitory, Wang Yaqiao took the money, patted Zheng Qingshi on the shoulder, said "Thanks for your hard work", then pushed open the door and disappeared into the dark night...
