Chapter 1154 Chapter 1095 The Judgment of Life and Death (8)

Chapter 1154 Chapter [-] Judgment of Life and Death ([-])

In the afternoon of the eighth day of September, Jiangning, an unsolicited turn.

After the continuous autumn rain stopped, the weather in the afternoon became a little brighter, the ancient city, the Qinhuai River surging through the city with foam.

Since the beginning of the war, the once prosperous ancient city of Jiangning has gradually faded from its former colors. The streets and alleys that were once decorated with lights are now mostly gray and black.The ruins brought by the war were not cleaned up, and the influx of refugees built shacks everywhere, and then destroyed them more thoroughly in the subsequent firefights and killings. The ashes washed away in the rain and became this war-torn city. The most important coloring.

However, in the scene after the rain stopped this afternoon, there were carts driving to important nodes in the ancient city, and pots of golden flowers were taken out of the car—most It is chrysanthemum, and there are also some colored flowers that are used to make up the number - began to be decorated and embellished in the city, and even gorgeous lanterns and lavish colored silks were hung.

A little north of the city, there is a beautiful and quaint house called "Yiyuan". With the arrival of He Wen, the decoration of the inside and outside of the house also began.

"Tomorrow is Chongyang..."

On this day, the fair king He Wen, dressed in Tsing Yi, came in together with Gao Chang, the "King of Heaven" with a dark face and a rough appearance. They greeted Xu Zhaonan, Shi Baofeng, and Zhou Shang who arrived early, and then the five I watched for a while under the eaves the scene of the servants decorating the courtyard outside.

He Wen explained with a smile: "...create some atmosphere and celebrate."

"What is the atmosphere?" Xu Zhaonan said.

"That's what the atmosphere means." He Wen looked at the opposite side and tilted his head, "In the past, when we were in the southwest, the Black Flag Army actually lived a tight life and had little food, but every time it was a festival, the surname was Ning. The one in the gang is about getting everyone to move and celebrate. He is not dignified in front of people, he always runs in front of people, let people set up torches, light it up all over the mountains and fields at night, and make some singing and dancing. At that time, he was most often with people Said, ah, do some atmosphere, do some atmosphere... very interesting."

"If there are torches all over the mountains and plains, and they won't catch fire and lose control, it would have been considered a kind of military training."

"There is such a meaning, but what Mr. Ning said later is that the more difficult the situation is, the more you have to move, the more stagnant the situation will be, and the more you will try to muddy the stagnant water. Live towards death."

He Wen said this, and after a while, he smiled and waved his hand.

"...Jiang Han's autumn shadow and wild geese are just flying, and they are carrying a pot on the green light. It is rare in this world to open a smile, and chrysanthemums must be full of heads. But for the festival, you don't need to come to hate Luohui... Anyway, it's Chongyang. We have won Jiangning for so long, and it is still quite chaotic outside, and now there are competitions and conferences, which are very lively, and such a big festival should not be missed, let everyone have a good time."

"What hate Luohui? What?" Under the eaves, Gao Chang tilted his head to the side of Xu Zhaonan and asked in a low voice.

"Du Mu's poem." Xu Zhaonan replied in a low voice.

There are still remaining water droplets dripping into the pond along the Tibetan blue tiles. On the other side, Zhou Shang, who is slightly shorter, has his hands on his back: "Mr. He likes this poem?"

"What do you think, Master Zhou?"

"I like the other one."

"Oh?"

"When autumn comes on September [-]th, I will kill a hundred flowers after the flowers bloom. The incense will spread through Chang'an, and the whole city will be covered with golden armor." Zhou Shang looked at He Wen, "How do you feel about Mr. He? Today on September [-]th, my More appropriate."

"...Hahahaha." He Wen was stunned for a while, then laughed, "Master Zhou likes this song too fierce, except that the time is September [-]th, where are the other occasions? Look at our five brothers, come over for a meeting, The meeting went well, but I can't see it anymore, Zhou Ye, you suddenly recite this kind of poem, is it because you want to open your flower and kill the four of us suddenly?"

"Ha ha……"

"Ha ha ha ha……"

The others laughed.

"Master Zhou, he is arty, what kind of poetry does he know."

"Meeting, meeting."

……

After the five kings of the Fair Party gathered in Jiangning, starting from the first day of September, every single day the city representatives held a meeting, every double day, a few people would go to Yiyuan to hold a small meeting.To this day, it is already the fourth game.

The congress outside was grand and solemn, while the private gathering of five people was more lively and casual.Several people teased each other, occasionally said some jokes, or scolded each other a few times, but in the past few days, the atmosphere was not too tense.

Among them, He Wen, the "Fair King" who always wears a robe and has one hand inconvenient, is elegant and steady;

"King Gao" Gao Chang has a rough appearance, but he doesn't speak much. When his eyes are closed, he is full of oppression. However, once he opens his mouth, he is often very casual;

"The King of Wheels" Xu Zhaonan is like a tall tower. As a cult leader, he is very knowledgeable and often works with mud;

Shi Baofeng loves to laugh, he is a little narrow-minded, and occasionally sees differences between people, but he is still reasonable in provoking two sentences;

Zhou Shang tried to keep his face straight. He had a fierce attitude of fighting and killing all day long. He was talked about by everyone on such occasions, but he was not angry. People chatted with each other, and then the four people who were quite bored put the topic aside and stopped talking to him.

Since it was a neutral agreement, several people came here with a certain bodyguards. During the negotiation, a large number of bodyguards stayed on the periphery. Some of them were entrusted by He Wenzhi to arrange flowers and lanterns. of two staff.

As several people took their seats on this day, the hall still seemed to have a relatively harmonious atmosphere.Some big and small issues and demands were raised in a laughing atmosphere, some tried to make a decision after simple deliberation, and some were only temporarily put on hold after arguments or scoldings because some people still had different ideas.The five great kings headed by He Wen all seemed to be understated and followed, but the staff who were responsible for serving, recording, carrying and managing materials all seemed serious and quiet, although their faces were expressionless but their hearts were shaken, because they all knew that, This is the most important place to decide the next major events in Jiangnan, and the understatement they see is the highest level of power struggle in the world.

The two aides who followed Shi Baofeng knew that the owner would make a stumbling block and dig a big hole for King Fairness today.

Of course, this is not a strange thing.

From the first private meeting, the five parties in the sitting were trying to embarrass each other.Every family seems to easily put forward proposals that are beneficial to themselves, and laughs against other people's ideas.Some words full of language traps, quietly provoking discord, joining vertical and horizontal, may appear on the round table in this house anytime, anywhere.But in general, a consensus at this time is that major conflicts will not arise during this time period.

The ten staff felt all this nervously and quietly, and were ready to hand over some topical credentials that had already been prepared.

At the second moment of Shen Shi, after talking about some interesting things about Tieyan in Lin'an, everyone mentioned Nongxian Zhao Jingci, He Wen took advantage of the situation and praised Zhao Jingci's credit, Xu Zhaonan said: "I heard that boss Shi was with Nongxian yesterday. There was some discord..."

Shi Baofeng waved his hand: "There's a little misunderstanding, how can you say that Nong Xian and I had a feud... This matter was done by my unworthy son, and I was going to report it to Mr. He."

"I heard that something happened last night." He Wen thought for a while, "But Shigong said it was a misunderstanding, presumably the matter has been clarified, I think this matter is left to Shigong's decision, presumably it is easy to misunderstand Untangle - I believe in Shigong."

"Haha, the misunderstanding is very simple, it's just a little bit of a clown's behavior." Shi Baofeng smiled, and then slightly solemnly, "But this matter is also related to Mr. He's reputation..."

"What's the matter with Mr. He's reputation? When you're old, don't smash other people's business and come back to yin and yang." Xu Zhaonan reached out and knocked on the table, "This is not kind."

"Xu Gong misunderstood me." Shi Baofeng clasped his fists with both hands, "Xiao, bring the things up."

In the hall, the design has already been done in this way.The aide known as Yu Yu was a Confucian scholar in his 30s. He handed over the case file bag that he had prepared, and then calmly retreated. Watching the five people laughing and taking out the contents, his heart was agitated. ups and downs.

The files presented were naturally the confessions that were captured from the Wuhu Inn and beaten into a trick. In addition, there were several blood-stained "book club" booklets mixed in as evidence.Shi Baofeng gave a general introduction to the nonsense of this "book club". In the confessions in the case file, the gangsters claimed that King Fairness was their backer, and Nongxian Zhao Jingci was the general of the book club. For such a thing, several kings Naturally, he doesn't believe it, but this kind of behavior is extremely vicious.

"For a while, it was rumored that the 'reading club' was ordered by someone Zhou..." Zhou Shang said.

Xu Zhaonan laughed and laughed: "I also have..."

"Whose is that?"

"Make a statement first, it has nothing to do with me."

"Those people in the reading club have malicious intentions, they want to dig our roots, and they can't be tolerated..."

How many people are you talking to me? Shi Baofeng said, "What do you think of Mr. He?"

At the round table, He Wen simply finished reading the confession, then took a booklet in his hand, and was still reading it slowly at this time.

"...Mr. He was naturally framed." There was only a slight silence in the room, and Xu Zhaonan smiled, "The purpose of the gangster is obvious."

"In the past two years of our Fair Party, there have been many heroes, and there are also mixed dragons and snakes. There are always people who can't stand loneliness. They want to use the name of the Southwest to make a big deal. As for my film, not only the book club has done this. kind of thing."

"Anyone else? Lao Zhou said."

"What has been eaten in the stomach, there is nothing to say."

"Today, we have five parties of the Fairness Party. They are all born in the same vein and have the same spirit. They are all brothers who are united under the "Code of Fairness". According to Mr. He, in fact, the sixth party and the seventh party, As long as you have the strength, you can also gather together, for example, the 'big dragon head' is a brother who can eat together... But this book club, it is different from other families..."

"The Book Club has the ambition of being a wolf, but they don't actually recognize the "Code of Justice". They are people with different intentions. If this matter cannot be resolved, there will be endless troubles..."

"Mr. He, what do you think?"

……

"...Mr. He?"

……

Shi Baofeng stretched out his hand.Just before he was about to touch the book in He Wen's hand, he saw that pair of eyes lifted up, looked towards him, and his hand stopped in the air.

……

"Mr. He, what do you think...?"

……

"Do you think... the things in this little book make sense?"

In the hall, He Wen's voice came out.

It was a little after two moments of Shen Shi, the late autumn sky outside the hall was getting late, and everyone outside was still arranging chrysanthemums and lanterns for the Chung Yeung Festival.There was silence in the hall for a while, the eyes of the five people crossed, Shi Baofeng stretched his hand in the air, not far behind him, two staff members were still standing with expressionless faces, and the staff member named Xiao heard his heartbeat. , he naturally knows how these confessions and small notebooks came from. Maybe there are no people in the book club in the Wuhu Inn. Everything is arranged by the second son, Shi Weiyang, and Shi Baofeng wants to unite the "book club" within the fair party. "Consensus, which made some hidden cards become clearer, and "Book Club" is a hidden card that cannot but be seen clearly.

It wasn't supposed to be a complicated thing.

But He Wen seemed to want to complicate this matter.

The eyes of several people looked at He Wen, and He Wen's eyes also looked at everyone indifferently and calmly.After a while, Gao Chang, who was holding a teacup, put down the cup in his hand, and Xu Zhaonan raised his right hand to He Wen.

"Old He, this is not what we are talking about today."

"Yeah, Mr. He." Shi Baofeng's face also burst into a smile, "Don't sell this kind of thing."

"Then what are we talking about today?"

"Just talk about who is behind this book club."

"I'll make a statement first, it has nothing to do with me when I was old."

"It doesn't have much to do with me."

"Mr. He, reading will do great harm to the Fairness Party. You can't be ambiguous. If you express your opinion, we also know what to do."

"Then what do I say?"

"This 'reading club' said that their backstage was you. You said it was not."

The conversation went on with your words and my words. Xu Zhaonan and Shi Baofeng expressed the fastest and most positive attitudes. Gao Chang only occasionally interjected, while Zhou Shang frowned and looked at He Wen and He Wen. laugh it out.

"It looks like old age, old Xu, you guys have to ask me to open this mouth, but how can I open it?"

"As long as you speak, it doesn't matter to the reading club."

"How can it not matter?" He Wen looked at them, "Who are the people in this reading club? In the final analysis, they are also members of the Fair Party. They have their own ideas, but even so, I am the King of Fairness."

His eyes swept over everyone: "Today's gathering in Jiangning is to talk about the affairs of each family. Even if this book club is full of evil, then what bad things they have done, should they also talk about it? For example, the Five Lakes Inn. The matter is that Zhao Jingci was at the Wuhu Inn, so whether they have anything to do with Zhao Jingci, should we also check, they are very harmful to the fair party, where is the harm, should we also discuss it? You see, people's ideas are a bit more radical, but aren't they all written clearly?"

He Wen threw the booklet in his hand to the center of the round table.

Gao Chang picked up the teacup, not knowing what he was thinking in his quiet eyes; Xu Zhaonan seemed to be stunned by He Wen's remarks, opened his mouth slightly, and leaned his back on the chair; Shi Baofeng's tongue was in his mouth Stirring, looking at He Wen, blinking in surprise.

On the other side of the round table, Zhou Shang, who had been silent all this time, laughed for some time.

"Hahahahahaha... He Wen, you lunatic!"

"Who is more crazy, people in the world will still have a public opinion." He Wen's words were calm, and then he tapped the table with his finger, "This thing, written on it, doesn't make sense at all? What they said, You've probably seen it before, right?"

"The person who made this thing has made reference to many things of the Huaxia Army in the west, and also compared many things in common with those who have made troubles like us." He Wendao, "It is said that those who can achieve great things throughout the ages, the core In fact, it does not lie in slogans and rhetoric, but in the degree to which a group of people obeys orders and obeys rules. The core of the success of the Southwest Huaxia Army is not the set of 'Huaxia' rhetoric that Ning Yi said, nor the 'four people' ' The most important thing is that he uses various means to make the military law in the military prohibit and strictly enforce the decree."

"Of course, in order to achieve this level, you need to have ideals and support. In the final analysis, it is the rules. Lao Gao, you are the leader of the army. No matter how far your order can go, your soldiers will have it. You can fight more, right? Lao Xu, you are from Manichaeism, and your followers are obedient, so you have power, but obedience is also divided into degrees. Are you going to go crooked? Isn't what they're talking about?"

"Master Shi, you do a lot of business, and the rules in the shop are one by one. What should you do if someone violates it? Should you deal with him? Why should you deal with him? Even if your relatives do it, I heard that you rarely open online. On the one hand, why? You don't know what?"

"...And Zhou Lunatic, your subordinates have destroyed or not built! What else can you do except drive them forward to beat you? Without our assistance, you wouldn't be able to survive this winter! Does it matter? "

He Wenru was born, both civil and military, when he was in the southwest, he was a great debater who swept the front. People's voices are overwhelmed.However, when it came to Zhou Shang, the short man on the opposite side sneered, but he did not shy away, reaching out and sweeping the teacup on the table away.

"Can't make it through the winter? What kind of relief? In the past, my people attacked the city, and any of you confiscated the things they robbed? I ate free food from you? I have also read it, and it is very clear that the style of shrinking hands can't do anything. Where does the fair talk come from? It comes from the spirit of equality that everyone talks about from Ning Yi, because everyone is equal, so it must be fair! You today If you don't kill those people in the past, you have to talk about the rules, and you have to slowly figure it out, whose heart can the word fairness grow into!"

"The rules are orders and prohibitions. It's not that you set a direction and shout a slogan and swarm the ground. It's not that you have damaged or not built."

"If I destroy or not build it, it's not yet time for construction! He Wen, you built a fair party, and the most important thing is the word fair! But you haven't killed all the people who have enjoyed it in the past. The people who follow you to conquer the world are also for the sake of being that kind of person! You are the king of justice, and when you enter the city, everyone on the roadside will kneel and kowtow to you, what kind of justice can you talk about!" Zhou Shang's hand pointed to the side , started a group, "You are all the same!"

"Stop arguing." Xu Zhaonan waved his hand, "I'm not talking about this today."

Shi Baofeng said, "What Lao Xu said makes sense."

He Wen stared at Zhou Shang: "But what is fairness for? It is to make the people around you live a better life and live a more human-like life, but can fairness be achieved overnight? You point to the Kill all the rich people in the world, make everyone equal again and start building again, do you know that you kill not only the rich people, but more than half of the poor people under your command will also be killed by you, and they will starve to death , Stupid death! Equality can rely on enlightenment, it can rely on the law, it can rely on 100 or 200 years, it should not rely on a massacre!"

"Haha, relying on education, relying on the law, to put it nicely, I am afraid that your education has not started to be useful, and the gentlemen under your command have already spread their branches and leaves, and the four generations are in the same house!"

"One generation can only go the way of one generation. What can you do if you kill all the people?"

"At least they really know what equality is. When they see the gentlemen stop kneeling, then I can naturally stop killing them!"

"I'm afraid you won't be able to stop by then."

"Can you stop and do it before you know it! If you want to do something that has never been seen in a thousand years, how can you be afraid of the future, and talk about the southwest, why did Ning Yi kill the emperor, you don't understand?"

The two started a debate, and the words were fierce. Over there, Shi Baofeng slapped the table with a slap: "Okay, old He, don't pretend to be confused here. It's not him who said that the reading club is vicious today. What did he say, but that he is wearing an orthodox tiger skin from the southwest! If these people become more and more powerful and wait, will you still be the fair king? Or, is this thing really ordered by you, Mr. He? "

He Wen pushed back the dossier on the table: "Yes or no, you don't know Shigong?"

"I'm not talking about the Wuhu Inn."

"I thought we were talking about the Five Lakes Inn."

"Hehehe, lunatic. You are the biggest lunatic, King of Fairness." Zhou Shang smiled, "I think it is you, and you are the one who organized the 'reading club'. Do you want to separate the four of us and do it yourself?"

"I didn't say that."

"Then make a statement."

"I am the King of Fairness. Whoever has an idea for the Fairness Party, as long as it is internal, I think everyone can talk about it and listen to it. Isn't the meeting now to discuss the future?"

"I think Mr. He agrees with the above statement, otherwise we will change the name to the Rules Party."

"Why don't you agree, you can say it, and you can say it if you agree. I think many of the worries above are very reasonable. On the first day of the meeting, I mentioned why many peasant uprisings throughout the ages have failed. We Will it repeat itself, there's a lot going on here, we're going to talk about..."

"It's not something to talk about..."

"These are things that can't be talked about. These things can't be talked about clearly, and the Fair Party will not last long."

"Don't pretend you don't understand..."

"It's okay to talk plainly. I'm the King of Fairness. You want me to say that the Fairness Party has nothing to do with me, and that won't work..."

"I am the real king of justice, and you are the king of rules."

"Old He, is it really you who set up the reading club? Are you targeting the four of us?"

"I didn't say that, but it's written with some truth. Can't you consider recruiting security? Can you broaden your horizons..."

"It's not your fault."

"I can't say that either..."

"I fuck you..."

buzzing buzzing...

In the hall, the voices of several people were sometimes intense and sometimes solemn. At a certain time, they gradually became quiet. Some people got up and walked, and some people patted the table. Afterwards, some lanterns were hung up and gradually lit, and the guards looked at each other suspiciously from the Langyuan and the eaves.Everyone uses their own methods to judge the seriousness of the situation.

A group of aides, including that lesser, also stood there nervously, watching the debate go on.In the past, the five parties of the Fairness Party went their separate ways. He Wen himself did not have much contact with the other four. After entering the city this time, he organized meetings and listened to opinions. For a moment, everyone finally saw his unfathomable and inscrutable side for the first time...

……

As the time approached evening, there was a riot just now in the "Wen Shui wine shop" in the city, and the doctor who was called at this time was hurriedly entering the hall of the wine shop.

This afternoon, there was originally a "hero meeting" in the restaurant where people from all walks of life gathered. This is a common occurrence in Jiangning City recently. Of course, it is also because most of the people who gather are from the rivers and lakes. People who lick blood at the edge of a knife are happy and happy when they are kind to others, but there will be some small accidents from time to time.

Coming from Yanjiabao in the west, Yan Tiehe, the second master of the Yan family who is quite famous in the arena, "Chasing the Wind Sword", had a quarrel with a swordsman for strange reasons at this gathering.The two sides fought each other, and the swordsman used an underhand trick. In these battles, he wounded people with hidden weapons first, and then cut Yan Tiehe down in a pool of blood.

At this time, in the competition between the green forests, if it is not a life-and-death struggle, it is generally not allowed to use hidden weapons by default, especially in such a solemn "heroes gathering", everyone feels that they have lost their share.Seeing that the man won by despicable means, a few chivalrous men stepped forward to prevent the other party from leaving. the identity of the opponent.

This person is under the command of "The Wheel King" Xu Zhaonan and a captain of the "Undead Guard". He is called "Sword Crazy" Yang Hanzhou by the Jianghu people. Afterwards, he wounded and ran away.

In today's Jiangning City, wounding and bleeding are common. In August, thousands of people fought several times. Many people died without end and no one was held accountable.But such a commonplace chaos does not mean that many things in the green forest can be endless, just like this one, Yan Erye came here on behalf of Yan Jiabao, and is the distinguished guest of Shi Baofeng. The background of the "runner king", so when the doctor came to clean up the mess, most of the people in the green forest in the wine shop were whispering excitedly or nervously.

This time, I don't know what kind of conflict will arise between "The King of Equality" and "The King of Wheels".

……

Now that the origin of the perpetrator has been determined and the place of "Undead Guard" is established, the participants in "Wen Shui Distillery" will not be anxious to ask for guilt. "It's not something ordinary people can do.

At the moment when the riots in the wine shop gradually subsided, Yang Hanzhou, the assailant with a long sword and a scar on his face, had already changed into an inconspicuous outfit, and he rushed to the east gate of Jiangning City with gold and silver possessions on his back.After leaving the city at the fastest speed, he was in the woods outside the city when he saw Jin Yongsheng who came in a carriage to confirm that he had left the city.

"The promised money... The silver notes for my Baofeng ship. They are all here." Jin Yongsheng handed him a small burden.

Yang Hanzhou pulled away the burden and counted points, his face gloomy: "What is this for? It took a lot of effort to get a good seat in the undead guard.

"Why, I didn't catch enough, any opinions?"

"I don't dare... I just think it's strange. This second master Yan is not an important person. Why do you have to let me fix this... No, I thought I could do something big with you, Mr. Jin." A cold smile appeared on his face.

Jin Yongsheng didn't look at him, looked at the reason not far away, and said slowly: "If you don't get enough, just say you don't get enough, take the silver to relax for a while, wait in Yangzhou in two months, and consider arranging other things for you. Things. You can fight or kill, don’t worry, I can’t lose you.”

"That……"

"Don't ask anything you shouldn't be curious about. I know, it's not safe for you."

"Yes."

Speaking of which, although Yang Hanzhou was curious, he naturally did not dare to ask further questions.At this time, he saw Jin Yongsheng frowning slightly, and whispered: "The second batch..."

Yang Hanzhou looked back and saw the road from Jiangning not far away. At this time, night was approaching, and there were not many pedestrians entering and leaving the city, but there were three fast horses, carrying riders on their backs at a very high speed, heading east. go.

"This is..." Yang Hanzhou frowned, "Yuan Zhan?"

"Know?" Jin Yongsheng asked.

"The confidant under the 'Running Wheel King' is generally responsible for... the communication of some major events, when people arrive at the letter, it is good to transfer troops. This is..."

"The second batch is coming out. When they came out, they met a few Zhou Shang's subordinates... in a hurry, I don't know what to do..."

Yang Hanzhou looked at Jin Yongsheng, and saw that in the dim light in the forest, the other party was also looking at him calmly.

What the hell am I involved in?

Does this have anything to do with me?

He felt uneasy in his heart, and the little curiosity that had swelled up was dissipated in an instant.The next moment he surrendered: "Then, the little one will go first, Jin Lao take care."

"Take care, see you in Yangzhou."

"See you in Yangzhou."

Carrying two burdens, Yang Hanzhou turned and left. When he finally looked back, he saw the gray city of Jiangning in the distance, just about to sink into the black sky. The atmosphere of the evening seemed to be chilling. He didn't know what to do next. If something happened, he didn't want to pursue it. At this moment, he just wanted to get away from this place where something might happen as quickly as possible.

After Yang Hanzhou left, Jin Yongsheng frowned and got on the carriage. The intuition he had cultivated in his life in the rivers and lakes was gently calling the police. From the two groups of people he had just seen, he could smell a slight and ominous aura.

These ominous breaths would not come from Yang Hanzhou, who was just now, nor would it come from the second son who arranged the Wenshui liquor store incident—this is just a trivial matter—he can’t think of any accident for the time being.

"Quickly return to Zhonganfang."

He ordered so.

Not long after, the old shopkeeper returned to the city. It was the time when night fell and the lights were on. Under the calm surface of the city, a wave of the biggest undercurrent since the opening of the Jiangning Conference was rolling silently and violently...
