Meng Shaoyuan knew very well that although the whole country was shocked by the Double Twelve Incident, in fact, there would not be any big trouble in Nanjing.
While everyone is worried now, I should go to Shanghai quickly.
One is to ask in person about the progress of the arms that he wants Mrs. Rose to buy for him.
Although Song Ziwen sent him a batch, the more weapons and bullets the better.
Another one is to find Huo Peng's little wife.
The evidence of Huo Peng's crime must be confirmed to death so that he cannot stand up.
Also, it would be best to find some clues about the relationship between him and Qi Honghai.
One group was temporarily handed over to Tian Qi and the others.
Meng Shaoyuan bought a train ticket and rushed to Shanghai alone.
Shanghai and Nanjing are very close to each other, and the transportation is extremely convenient. It is most convenient to travel between them.
Many of the senior officials of the National Government bought houses in Shanghai and raised young wives. When they had a rest, they went straight to Shanghai without stopping.
This also gave birth to a business:
Being kept.
Some women have quick minds and move quickly. They were kept by local people in Shanghai and people from Nanjing.
I usually hang out with locals in Shanghai, but on Saturday night and until the next day, I live with people from Nanjing.
There is also such a joke.
A deputy director of a certain bureau in Nanjing kept a certain Yang in Shanghai. Every time after work on Saturday, he would take the fastest train to Shanghai and not return to Nanjing until Sunday night.
More than a year passed like this.
One time, he happened to go to Shanghai for business and had to stay in Shanghai for three days. He felt unhappy at the thought of being able to spend three days with Yang day and night.
After talking about business that day, a director from the other party treated him to a banquet and even called his little wife.
The deputy director from Nanjing was happily received at the banquet and was dumbfounded.
Isn’t the wife of this director in Shanghai none other than Yang?
Knowing each other's truth, the two directors were embarrassed and angry.
Yang didn't panic when he saw what happened.
She told the two directors that none of them could turn her into their first wife anyway, so she would accompany the Shanghai director every Monday to Friday. During the day on Saturday, we carefully prepared meals and waited for the arrival of the Nanjing Director in the evening. Until Sunday, no one was seen. Didn't this really make everyone happy?
When the two directors heard this, they realized that what they said made sense, so they drank and talked happily and called themselves brothers.
From now on, I will live like this, truly making sure there is no mess at all.
It was not until later that the Nanjing director was caught committing the crime that this ridiculous joke ended.
Yang is still very frustrated, which means his monthly income has been greatly reduced.
As a result, it was inevitable to receive some guests quietly on Saturdays and Sundays to make up for their losses.
Nine out of ten of these little wives were prostitutes and returned to their old profession, which didn't seem to be a big deal to them.
Whenever Meng Shaoyuan heard these ridiculous things, he couldn't help but feel ridiculous.
After getting off the train, I called a rickshaw and went straight to the public concession.
Unexpectedly, as soon as I entered the public concession, what I saw in front of me was a parade.
This parade is not anti-Japanese, etc. Most of the people in the parade are women, with a few men mixed in. The slogans one after another, and the slogans shouted out, are all about gender equality, women's supremacy, etc. .
Not to mention, they must be women’s rights activists who have not weakened at all since the early years of the Republic of China.
It looked like there were always hundreds of people in the parade.
The patrols and spies all rolled up their sleeves and hid aside, not asking anything.
These feminist activists' marches are not lethal and will not undermine the stability of the public settlement, so as long as they do not cause trouble and are not like the famous prostitute Jin Yayu from Hankou who paraded naked, no one will care.
Na Jin Yayu became famous as soon as she was naked. From then on, she attracted countless curious men to her doorstep, and people lined up to do business. She was considered one of the most extraordinary women in the Republic of China.
There were also some agents from the Lixing Society at the scene.
They were also not here to control the parade, but to see if there were any suspicious elements.
There is an agreement between these special agents and the public concession. When arresting people, they will patrol the houses in the concession in exchange for freedom of movement in the concession.
Of course, there are inevitably some secret arrests that bypass the arresting houses. As long as there is not much movement, the concession generally turns a blind eye.
This is called tacit understanding.
"Fourth!"
"Third brother!"
Suddenly, a person passed him face to face. The two people looked at each other and blurted out surprise at the same time.
This is not Hangzhou Police Academy, a dormitory, Chen Rongyang, a member of the "Shuanglou Club"!
On the day Shuanglou Society was established, according to age, Hou Danliang was the eldest, He Guangtao was the second eldest brother, Chen Rongyang was the third eldest brother, and Meng Shaoyuan was the youngest and the fourth eldest brother.
The classmates were extremely happy to meet each other. Chen Rongyang said repeatedly: "Shao Yuan, why didn't you notify me when you came to Shanghai? I can arrange a car to pick you up."
Arrange a car?
As soon as he said this sentence, Meng Shaoyuan immediately understood: "Have you been promoted?"
Chen Rongyang laughed "hehe" a few times: "I am now the captain."
Squadron leader?
so fast?
It was Chen Rongyang's good luck that he returned to Shanghai after graduation and got a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
The Shanghai Lixing Society was divided into the Concession Faction and the Hongkou Faction.
The Hongkou faction was mainly used to monitor Japan's Hongkou military base. The task was heavy and dangerous, but its status was not as good as the concession faction, which also made them very dissatisfied.
The superiors discovered this situation, and in order to reconcile the contradiction, they decided to set up two new special squadrons, belonging to two factions, to exchange tasks and assume mutual responsibilities.
Chen Rongyang, who returned from his studies, was appointed as the captain of the Hongkou Special Squadron and was sent to the public concession to assist in the execution of tasks.
In order to show their sincerity in resolving the conflict, the concession faction also specially provided a car for his squadron.
Chen Rongyang is also considered to be outstanding.
It is said that the temperament of agents who come out of the training class will be different, and this is absolutely true.
In the past, Chen Rongyang had a low self-esteem and didn't like to talk.
But what about now?
No matter how you look at it, it's all high-spirited.
"Congratulations." Meng Shaoyuan repeatedly handed over his hands: "You have to treat me."
"As a treat, when you Meng Shaoyuan comes to Shanghai, I, as the host, must be the host. In the evening, I will serve the wine at Haichuan Tower." Chen Rongyang smiled and said: "Shaoyuan, my position as squadron leader is nothing. I heard that you have been promoted to You are the team leader. Two days ago, the boss came to Shanghai, and we were talking about you and thinking about when we would go to Nanjing to enjoy the autumn breeze."
Although Meng Shaoyuan is the youngest in the Shuanglou Club, he has the quickest reaction and the most ideas. The fourth brother is the one who is most convinced by the third brother.
The two brothers talked there for a while, and Meng Shaoyuan pointed to the parade that had formed a circle and listened to an impassioned speech by a young woman:
"What do you mean?"
"Don't mention it." Chen Rongyang couldn't laugh or cry: "There is a family with four siblings. The mother died early. In order to take care of the three younger brothers, the elder sister remained unmarried in her thirties. As a result, after the three younger brothers got married, they felt that the elder sister was in the way, so she Kick her out of the house.
One day my sister went back and found that the door was locked and her luggage was thrown at the door. No matter how hard she knocked, the door wouldn't open. She sat outside and cried.
Later, a reporter found out about this, so he wrote an article in the newspaper. What was it called? By the way, 'The Case of the Third Brother Abandoning His Sister'. As soon as the newspaper exaggerated it, it immediately caused an uproar in the Shanghai women's rights movement. Soon, a demonstration began. "
"ah?"
Meng Shaoyuan was stunned when he heard this.
Are you going to march just for this?
"Shaoyuan, you don't know." Chen Rongyang lowered his voice and looked around: "There are constant frictions between China and Japan, and any parade must be related to this. And something happened in Xi'an again. In recent days, The demonstrations on the same day were all anti-Zhang, calling for the committee to be released.
Those involved in the feminist movement have been silent for some time, and the leading ones are a little lonely. If something like this happens, those few people will definitely not let it go. Therefore, it was said that national events are important, and women's freedom and equality are also related to the destiny of the country. As soon as they were encouraged, hundreds of people came out to march in protest. "
Meng Shaoyuan was really dumbfounded: "If you have the time and money, let's pool together the money and hire a barrister for that sister and just file a lawsuit."
"How can we reflect the importance of the Shanghai women's rights movement?" Chen Rongyang's voice became even lower: "We have to make the momentum bigger. A few days ago, because of the incident in Xi'an, all walks of life in Shanghai held an emergency meeting to discuss the unification of everyone. Opinion, the people who organized the meeting also forgot to invite the leaders of the feminist movement.
I heard that Pan Daijiao, the leader of the women's rights movement, led a few people to cause a stir at the venue, and the situation almost got out of hand. Why……"
Meng Shaoyuan was speechless.
Equality between men and women and the liberation of women are a matter of course.
But now it's a bit overkill.
This is especially true in Shanghai.
Shanghai is a city in China that has been integrated with the world very early and has developed rapidly in all aspects.
The word "feminism" also began to flourish in Shanghai, Wuhan, Guangzhou and other places.
It was only later that it gradually began to change.
As the famous Professor Zhang Jingsheng and Zhang Da encouraged, one should sleep, swim, and even travel naked.
This is a bit of a hooliganism.
There are even some scholars and famous leaders of the feminist movement who encourage the idea that one woman and many men are equal to men and women. This is not progress, but social regression.
"How is that sister doing now?" Meng Shaoyuan asked casually.
"Don't mention it." When he said this, Chen Rongyang got a little angry: "Pan Daijiao and the others didn't care about her, and they didn't even allow others to care about her. They let her sister sleep at the door of her brother's house no matter what, humiliating the whole family. Also. If anyone is in charge, it is destroying women's rights and disrespecting women. I just can't figure it out, how can anyone in this world respect women so much?"
"Isn't this nonsense?" Meng Shaoyuan shook his head and said, "After the parade, they went home to eat and sleep, leaving a poor woman to sleep in the open? Third brother, you too, don't you lend a hand to help?"
"Me helping? I will offend these women." Chen Rongyang smiled bitterly: "Forget it, forget it, let's not talk about it."
"Sure, then help me find a woman first."
