Age of Conquest Reborn

Chapter 358 Scapegoat

The students who had just recovered from the violence from the military and police gathered in front of Dormitory Building No. 3 to witness this tragic scene. The surviving four female students who had been raped were already on the verge of collapse.

I could only describe the atrocities of the tax police intermittently, and the students' suppressed anger finally burst out uncontrollably.

They rushed out of the school gate and surrounded the arresting troops who were surrounded by the Northeastern Army and the 17th Route Army. Their calls for the punishment of the murderers resounded throughout the city of Xi'an at dawn.

The matter was quickly reported to Yang Hucheng and Zhang Xueliang. Yang Hucheng was furious, and Zhang Xueliang was also furious. The two ordered that the arresting troops of the provincial party headquarters be disarmed on the spot and taken to the Xi'an Appeasement Office for interrogation.

The tragedy that occurred at the Shaanxi Provincial Normal School spread quickly. Major schools in Xi'an City expressed support for the students of the Provincial Normal School and organized police teams to rush towards the normal school.

Until he was dragged out of the car by the soldiers, Gu Shungang didn't know what was going on. He naturally guessed that Zhang Xueliang and Yang Hucheng were going to rebel. It was a pity that this important situation could not be reported to the Nanjing Central Party Headquarters in time.

Lin Muran instinctively felt that something was wrong. When he arrested these students, he did not see them so angry. There must be something wrong?

After he got off the car, he asked Zhu Shouliang. Zhu Shouliang brought him and Gu Shungang to the bodies of the two female students who had been covered with white cloths. The blood stains on the ground were shocking.

After listening to what Zhu Shouliang and Zhao Zhizhou said, Gu Shungang's head buzzed. He realized the seriousness of the situation. There was no such thing as the tax police. The whole case involved criminals. He could make sense everywhere.

You, Zhang Xueliang and Yang Hucheng, are detaining me now. How will you explain yourself in front of Chairman Chiang Kai-shek? Maybe you can even avenge the raid on the provincial party headquarters at the end of August!

However, the nature of the incident has changed. Even if a few students are killed on the spot, there is a way to end it. However, such a thing was done so badly that it has aroused public outrage. Gu Shungang felt confused and panicked. This incident has exceeded

Within the scope of his control, the arrest team he led became the target of public criticism.

Lin Muran was also shocked. He did not expect that something like this would happen that aroused public outrage. Now, it is no longer important whether these students are suspected of being red. The public's attention and attention have been focused on the six murdered students.

The most important thing is to quickly find out the evil tax policemen and hand them over to Zhang Yang. Lose the soldiers to protect the car, so that you and Gu Shungang can escape safely.

He was just going to chase Zhu Shouliang and Zhao Zhizhou. He was familiar with these two people and had a good relationship with them. Lin Muran was not like Gu Shungang. He was usually domineering and had a high self-esteem. He did not have a good impression or popularity among all walks of life in Xi'an. Lin Muran was confident that he could still get along with them.

Zhu and Zhao can speak well.

As soon as he lifted his feet, he was hit by several gun butts on his back. He felt despair in his heart. The situation was worse than he imagined. Zhang Yang was determined to hold on to this matter. He and Gu Shungang

The two of them are in danger, and their prospects are not good.

Gu Shungang over there was not much better. He was treated even worse than Lin Muran. He was tied up tightly with a hemp rope and put on the ground. Several gun muzzles were placed on his head. His nose was bruised and his face was swollen.

With that appearance, he suffered a lot from his skin and flesh.

Students from various places expressing support for the normal school have rushed here one after another, and there are a large number of students behind them who are rushing over. The students are excited and their calls for the murderer to be severely punished are getting louder and louder.

The disarmed provincial party headquarters intelligence officers had already asked soldiers from the Northeastern Army and the 17th Route Army to drag the truck onto the truck. The students blocked the intersection and prevented the truck from driving away. Zhao Zhizhou and Zhu Shouliang tried their best to persuade them, and

He promised to meet with the two officers, Zhang and Yang, to give the students a satisfactory explanation, and then he was able to escape.

In fact, this is not the first conflict between Zhang Yang and the Shaanxi Provincial Party Headquarters. In late August and early September this year, agents of the Central Unification Committee within the Shaanxi Provincial Party Headquarters arrested Zhang Xueliang’s secretary and took him to the northeast of Xi’an.

The university student representatives are Song Li, Ma Shaozhou, and Guan Peicang, who are actually underground party members of the Communist Party of China.

Zhang Xueliang was furious when he heard the news. He ordered his guard chief Tan Hai to lead a guard battalion and surrounded the provincial party headquarters. Not only did he snatch away the three arrested people, but he also searched and ransacked the Shaanxi provincial party headquarters' home, completely turning it upside down.

Chaotian, everyone in the Provincial Party Headquarters office building was detained in a room, causing the Provincial Party Headquarters to be paralyzed for five days, which is known as the "Nanwan Incident."

At that time, Chairman Chiang Kai-shek was concentrating on handling the Guangdong-Guangxi Incident. The elite direct troops of the Central Army had also been transferred to the front lines of Hunan, Guangdong and Guangxi to confront the Guangdong-Guangxi Allied Forces. They really had no time to spare to deal with the Shaanxi incident.

Under the mediation of Chairman Chiang Kai-shek and government officials, the Shaanxi Provincial Party Headquarters made major concessions. Not only did it publicly announce the innocence of the three arrested Northeastern University students in newspapers, it also apologized to Zhang Xueliang in person, and the matter was settled.

As a result, the prejudice between Zhang Yang and the Shaanxi Provincial Party Headquarters deepened and became incompatible.

On the one hand, Zhang Xueliang and Yang Hucheng called the Nanjing National Government to explain the truth about the Shaanxi Provincial Normal School incident and requested a satisfactory answer from the Nanjing government. On the other hand, they began to interrogate the provincial party headquarters officials who were escorted to the Xi'an Appeasement Office.

wait.

Because Gu Shungang and Lin Muran were the leaders of this manhunt, they could not escape their involvement in such a serious incident. They were detained in a separate room and waited for Zhang Xueliang and Yang Hucheng to deal with their opinions in secret before making a decision.

After being identified on the spot by the victimized female student, the twenty-eight tax policemen from that team were picked out one by one, tied up, and taken to the side alone. The soldiers guarding them were so angry that their hands were shaking, especially the soldiers of the 17th Route Army.

They were all locals from Shaanxi, and they wished they could shoot at these beasts. The muzzles of their guns made green bumps appear on their foreheads.

At this point, the captain, who was supported by his brother-in-law, who is the captain of the Shaanxi Provincial Tax Police, was not willing to surrender. He struggled desperately and shouted, "Aren't you just playing with a few poor students?"

What kind of thing is this? I have never seen such a woman. I want to see my brother-in-law. If you dare to lay a finger on me, my brother-in-law will not spare you!"

The greatest sorrow for a person is that he cannot see the heat and does not know whether to live or die. He does not need to think about it with a pig's mind. If he does such a thing, even the king of heaven and I will not be able to save him. Not to mention his brother-in-law, I estimate that he will be saved by this time.

The brother-in-law was able to scold eight generations of this boy's ancestors, and he was sweating coldly on his forehead. He was fidgety and restless, for fear that Zhang Xueliang and Yang Hucheng would settle the score with him.

Yang Hucheng walked out of the Pacification Office building with a few guards. This guy knew Yang Hucheng, a leading figure in Shaanxi, a citizen of Xi'an, and a military police officer. He didn't know that one.

He thought a savior had arrived and shouted desperately: "Director Yang, for the sake of my brother-in-law, let me go. It will be easier for you and my brother-in-law to talk to each other, right?" This kid even begged and threatened.

With his brother-in-law as his golden name, Yang Hucheng had to give him face no matter what.

Who is my brother-in-law? He has great hands and eyes, and his boss directly contacted Song Ziwen, the uncle of the country. You Yang Hucheng didn't dare to do anything to me, so you tied me up just to show off in front of your subordinates.

But the rope was too tight, and it made me feel uncomfortable all over. When have we ever suffered this kind of thing? It was all because of these stinky soldiers. They were really good at it. I almost broke my arm. When I go out, uncle, I have to do it.

You can't find someone to do it for you.

From the interrogation records, Yang Hucheng knew that those beasts had committed the evil deeds. He just wanted to see what the faces of these tax policemen who relied on Uncle Guo's power were like.

As soon as I arrived in the yard, I heard this boy shouting and carrying out his brother-in-law. I immediately understood that this boy was the leader.

Yang Hucheng's face was livid, his teeth were clenching loudly, the muscles on his face were bulging with anger, and there was a frightening cold light in his eyes.

When he walked up to this boy, when he saw Yang Hucheng ignoring him, he thought it was because of his brother-in-law, so he calmed Yang Hucheng, his attitude became more and more arrogant, and he couldn't even hide the proud look on his face.

Yang Hucheng stared at him for a long time, making him feel scared. Suddenly, Yang Hucheng pulled out his gun, pointed it at the kid's head, and shot him. There was a "bang" sound. At such a close distance, the bullet had a powerful impact.

With such force, the boy fell backwards. The white brain matter mixed with the bright red blood splashed all over the surrounding soldiers.

No one thought that Yang Hucheng, who was usually calm and dull, would have such a violent side. Yang Hucheng turned around, without even looking at the garbage, and ordered the soldiers: "Take it out and feed the dogs, don't dirty my place!"

There was silence in the yard. Yang Hucheng's shot also showed his attitude. The tax policemen who had done evil to the female students last night were paralyzed on the ground. There were even a few guys who committed suicide on the spot.

I wet my crotch and no longer have the arrogance as when I committed evil.

By noon, the situation further escalated, with tens of thousands of students surrounding the Shaanxi Appeasement Office building. They heard bursts of angry shouts, which made Gu Shungang and Lin Muran, who were detained in a single room, tremble in their hearts and foreheads.

Breaking into a cold sweat.

At this time, Chairman Chiang was also beyond his reach. The elite troops of the Central Army had just left the front line of Hunan, Guangdong and Guangxi and were on their way to Shaanxi. After the old man cursed Gu Shungang and Lin Muran dozens of "Mother Xipi", he gave Zhang Xueliang and

Yang Hucheng called back.

If it is found to be true, justice will be done on the spot. With the people's anger, Zhang and Yang will execute the matter on behalf of the central government and explain everything to the people.

Gu Shungang, Chairman of the Shaanxi Provincial Party Committee, as a leader, was unable to restrain his subordinates when performing official duties, which led to this incident. Gu Shungang was removed from his position as Chairman of the Shaanxi Provincial Party Committee and was remanded back to the Central Party Committee for review.

There must be an outcome to the incident, and someone must bear the consequences. A blame cannot fall on the ground. Unfortunately, Gu Shungang became the scapegoat. As a result, the foundation of his business in Shaanxi for many years fell apart, and he left sadly. It was a waste of time.
