Beiyang reactionaries

Then he said: "We are just a small newspaper, and no one cares about what we write. Whether those student groups or local groups protested against us this time, it shows that we have become famous in this incident, and even they I know, this is a good thing. Newspapers rely on their fame to live. You can go to "Shenbao" and "Minguo Daily". They are really influential newspapers, and their criticism is far more intense than ours. Clean up, and clean up these newspapers first, what are our tabloids. Sales, sales, do you know what sales are? Write, write as you can attract people."

"Yes."

The staff members were scolded enough and nodded repeatedly.

After leaving the editor-in-chief's office, the staff curled their lips.He couldn't help but said: "Hey, what a fierce thing. Shit, those big newspapers have connections and influence, and the government is wary of them. They will definitely look for small newspapers like us if they want trouble. Killing chickens and monkeys is just like you chicken."

While muttering back.

But before he returned to his work position, he saw several policemen coming in at the door.

"You are..."

"Is the editor-in-chief Bai Jingyu here?"

"Yes, yes. This way, this way."

He led the police to the editor's office.The leading policeman came to Bai Jingyu and said, "Are you Bai Jingyu?"

"Yes. What do you want me to do?"

Seeing the police, Bai Jingyu was taken aback for a moment, but soon returned to normal.

why?

I am a scholar and I run a newspaper.What is an uncrowned king? Those who run newspapers are uncrowned kings.With a pen in hand, everyone wants to save face.These people are born with a higher status, what are these policemen.

It's all low class.

"Do you know Inoue Yan?"

"What's the matter with you?"

Hearing Inoueyan's name, Bai Jingyu's face changed slightly.

But he still asked these policemen loudly.

"I'll ask you again, do you know Inoueyan?"

"Yes, so what's the matter?"

"It's good to know each other. Bai Jingyu, we are police officers from the Zhabei Police Station in Shanghai. You are suspected of accepting bribes from the Japanese, attacking the government's wartime instructions in newspapers, whitewashing the crimes of the Japanese, and attempting to help Japan with public opinion and oppress the government to change. Injunction. Not only violated the press law, but also violated the wartime regulations. This is an arrest warrant issued by the Shanghai High Court. We arrest you on charges of 'connecting with Japan' and 'being an enemy'."

Following the words of the leading policeman, the people behind immediately stepped forward and handcuffed Bai Jingyu's hands.

"You, you..."

Bai Jingyu looked at the handcuffs on his hands and said angrily: "You are violating the freedom of the press, you are undermining the freedom of the press. I want to protest, I want to protest."

With the noise here, many people came to see what happened.

Including the people in the next room.

It seems that there are more and more people, and the leading policeman is not in a hurry.Bai Jingyu, on the other hand, continued to denounce them for suppressing his freedom of the press.

Many people around are pointing and pointing.

There are more and more people, and everyone is whispering, discussing what happened.At this time, the leading policeman said: "Bai Jingyu, don't resist. If you resist, I can take more escalating actions. You don't have to complain, you know what you have done better than anyone else. And you don't have to take any chances." Mood, because the Japanese spy Inoue Iwa has been controlled by the security agency of our police department. He gave you [-] silver dollars three times in total, and invited you to write articles criticizing the government ban, sympathizing with Japan, and asking the government to lift the ban. In order to disrupt the current Sino-Japanese War. Now we have solid evidence, otherwise our Shanghai High Court would not have issued an arrest warrant. So don't make a fool of yourself here, let everyone here know that you are a person who was bought by the Japanese and did things for the Japanese' Traitor'."

"Buzzing—"

Many people were very surprised to hear what the police said.

run a newspaper.

This is a very revered figure in life.

But what about the results?

What did the police say?

It is said that Bai Jingyu is a "traitor" who accepts money from the Japanese, is bought by the Japanese, and does things for the Japanese.So for a moment, everyone was pointing and pointing at Bai Jingyu.

This made Bai Jingyu unacceptable.

shame.

How could a scholar like Bai Jingyu endure being pointed at by so many people.So Bai Jingyu yelled: "You, you, you spitting blood, spitting blood."

"Bai Jingyu, is it bloody? It's useless for you to complain here. There are procedures in the court trial, but your case is too bad, and not one or two newspapers are involved this time. Therefore, the Shanghai Higher People's Court has It is decided that this case will go to trial immediately. So you don’t have to worry too much, your case will go to trial this afternoon or tomorrow.”

While talking, the police officer turned around and said to everyone: "The 'Litong Japan' case involves a wide range of areas and has a great impact. Therefore, the High Court decided to open the trial for everyone to apply. Go to the hearing."

"take away."

"Yes."

"I'm not convinced, I'm going to sue you, I'm going to..."

"To shut up."

The police officer was walking ahead, but when he heard Bai Jingyu continued to shout, he turned around and scolded Bai Jingyu again.Then he said: "If you want everyone to know your 'traitor' virtue, I will have someone make a 'traitor' sign and hang it around your neck. You can go to the street and shout. As a scholar, I don't want to Contributing to the country and the nation, but willing to be a 'traitor', it really disgraces your Bai family."

Hearing what the police officer said, Bai Jingyu was a little scared.

It may also be embarrassing.

Instead of continuing to yell, he obediently followed the police and left.

The news spread.

A sensation on the beach.

why?

It has been many years, and it is really rare for the government to attack newspapers.At the end of the Qing Dynasty, the Manchu Qing government shut down many revolutionary newspapers, and even arrested many newspaper executives.

Later, when Yuan Shikai proclaimed himself emperor, many newspapers criticizing Yuan Shikai were blocked, and many newspaper staff were wanted.The most recent time was when Duan Qirui defended the law.

He also arrested many people and blocked many newspapers.

Afterwards, there was domestic turmoil, and two straight-anhui wars broke out, and finally Duan Xun took over Beijing.During this period, the government was busy with its own affairs and had no time to manage these newspapers.

Did not expect to do it again.

"Is the news true?"

"Yes, sir. Eight newspaper offices have been shut down, and more than [-] people have been arrested. Some people have been arrested even in the concession. The police in the concession only protested, but did not stop the arrest. At present, the Shanghai newspaper circle is full of people's hearts. panic."
