"What, the newspaper office was seized?" Xu Shaoqing suddenly sat up from the bed.

"That's right, young...Young master, you should hide for a while, they should come here to catch you soon." Xiao Chen propped his legs, panting heavily.

He Yuxiu also stood up and asked, "What's going on?"

"A team of police officers came in the evening, broke in and said that our newspaper office was a disturbance of public order, so they got so entangled that they wanted to arrest our young master."

"Absurd, why did you disturb the law and order when you were doing well, and arrest me? It seems that someone really can't sit still." Xu Shaoqing pondered for a while, and said: "Xiao Chen, go and contact the people in the newspaper office, we will meet at the old place. "Xu Shaoqing said with a frown.

"Young master, your body is not in good shape yet..."

"I know, you don't have to worry, I will be careful." Xu Shaoqing put on his clothes and went out with a pale face.

Seeing his expression, He Yuxiu was worried, and just about to go with him, Xu Shaoqing patted him on the shoulder and said hoarsely: "I don't know when I will come back at night, you haven't slept well these two days, go home and have a rest Bar."

After that, he pressed a kiss on his forehead, rubbed his nose, and said in a low voice, "Wait for me to come back."

The temperature on the forehead dissipated quickly, He Yuxiu stood in the night wind for a long time, looked at his leaving back, and sighed faintly.

In the hidden teahouse diagonally opposite to the newspaper office, a group of people sat around the table, their emotions were very excited, and their voices became louder unconsciously.The room was filled with smoke, and I don't know how many cigarettes they smoked.This teahouse is a place where the editors of the newspaper often meet, and the owner of the teahouse is also very familiar with them, so it is considered a very safe place.

"Anything that disturbs law and order, any label must be put on the head of the newspaper. I think it is clear that the authorities want us to shut up."

"It's really despicable, even if the newspaper office is closed, the reporter's pen can't be sealed!"

"The situation is really grim. What's the use of saying these things? I think it's better to avoid the limelight and hide for now."

"Hiding? Seeing that the war is about to start again, and the price of goods is rising rapidly, how can there be any peaceful place? Can you hide for a while, or for a lifetime?"

Xu Shaoqing was leaning against the window, and the colleagues in the newspaper office were talking to each other sentence by sentence, and the wound on his body was aching, and his mind was a little dizzy.

Xu Shaoqing looked at the printing office opposite the newspaper office, frowned, and asked, "The printing office has also been closed?"

"Yes."

Someone sighed, walked over and patted him on the shoulder, saying, "Be careful, not only "Ningbao" but also "Under the Lantern" have been targeted, I think it's not good for you, it's better to go out less recently. "

This is Zhou Zheng, the old editor of the newspaper, who is much older than him and takes good care of him.Xu Shaoqing knew that he was doing it for his own good, but he was still panicked.

Standing in front of the window, looking at the moon outside, he said: "I will die when I die, but "Ning Bao" is my father's painstaking effort. As long as I am alive, I will not let it be burned."

"I understand what you mean." Zhou Zheng took a puff of cigarette, stood up and looked at the two-story building diagonally opposite him, and said, "The place is dead, but the spirit is alive. For a while, you should avoid the limelight. After passing this hurdle, let's get together again and start "Ning Bao" again. Don't think too much right now, and heal your wounds."

Xu Shaoqing was about to reply when he suddenly heard a loud voice from below.

"Hey, I'm sorry, we're closing here." It was the owner's voice, and Xu Shaoqing could hear it.

"It's closing time, why are the lights still on?" A male voice rang out.

"It will be closed immediately, hey, you can't go in, you can't go in..."

Zhou Zheng's expression changed, and he said to his colleagues in the newspaper office, "Go!"

Everyone stood up immediately, Xu Shaoqing looked out of the window, and saw several police officers with guns standing at the door in the night. "Everyone retreat first, go through the back door." He whispered.

Zhou Zheng nodded before leading everyone around the back door, when he heard footsteps outside.

"Quick, catch them!"

The lights in He Yuxiu's house were always on. He tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep. He was inexplicably anxious. He barely passed the night like this. Early the next morning, he received a bad news.

"Arrested?" He Yuxiu looked at Xiao Chen outside the door, her eyes widened, her face full of disbelief, "It's unreasonable, in broad daylight, how can you arrest people so casually?"

"Mr. He, the young master told me not to tell you, but I really can't do anything right now. The sky has changed in one night. Guess what they said? They even said that the young master was involved in rebellion and collude with the puppet country. You know, the young master just sent a letter to a Japanese writer, and they gave the young master such a big hat." Xiao Chen said angrily.

He Yuxiu also became angry, "If you want to commit a crime, there is nothing to worry about."

"Ah... If you continue to blame me like this, I'm really worried if the young master will come out."

When Xiao Chen said this, He Yuxiu was even more disturbed. He asked Xiao Chen to prepare evidence and make full preparations for the lawsuit.But after three days, Xu Shaoqing has been in custody and has not been handed over to the court for a long time, which is beyond common sense.

"The state laws are so played by them. The contract stipulates that the arrest must be transferred to the court within 24 hours. They have delayed for so long. It is Sima Zhao's heart, and everyone knows it." A group of people gathered to discuss Xu Shaoqing's matter. Xu Changning I have just experienced the pain of losing my father, and now my brother is being arrested again. I am so emotional that I can't help but yell.

When she spoke like this, Chen Andong couldn't help being a little flustered, and said: "The newspaper office can be shut down, but the power of public opinion can't be extinguished. I see many people writing articles to complain about brother Xu. I don't believe they care about the voice of the people at all."

Xie Zhiwen sighed, and said: "If you want to kill a thief, you can't bring yourself back to heaven. Under the power, civil rights are so easily deprived. It's really sad that a rotten Confucian can do nothing but sue."

At this moment, there was a knock on the door, and the butler Wang Fu came in.

In the past few days, he has been running around for Xu Shaoqing's affairs, and he has almost sought out Xu Yuanzhu's former friends.

"How is it, Uncle Wang, can someone help?" Xu Changning asked.

Wang Fu wiped his sweat and said: "These gentlemen and lords call us brothers when they have nothing to do, and close the door when they have something to do. Those who were so diligent at the birthday party a few days ago actually avoided us like the plague at this time. , for fear of getting into a little more trouble. When some people hear that we are from the Xu family, they either pretend to be sick or hesitate, as if they have changed their faces, which is really sad."

He Yuxiu was a little frustrated. He sat on the chair, scratched his head, and asked a little tiredly, "Is there really no other way?"

Wang Fu turned his eyes to He Yuxiu, hesitated, and said, "Mr. Qin from Jinfeng Bank still remembers the old friendship, and secretly handed me a note."

"Oh, what note?" He Yuxiu leaned forward and asked.

Wang Fu handed the paper to He Yuxiu, sighed, and said: "Mr. Qin said that he is just a financial man, and he doesn't have much political participation, so he can't say much, but there is one person who is very connected. We can try it." , See if you can ask him for help. "

"Who?" He Yuxiu opened the note while listening, but saw three words written in black and white on it.

"Huang Banchu."

He suddenly opened his eyes.

Seeing his expression, Wang Fu hesitated for a while, and said in a low voice: "Mr. He, I heard that this Mr. Huang likes your paintings very much. If you can say a few words in front of him, please help our young master." ..."

"Brother He..." Chen Andong stood up abruptly, "That's Huang Banchu."

Xie Zhiwen also shouted: "Yuxiu..."

Wang Fu swallowed the words that came to his lips.

Xu Changning became anxious, and said, "Huang Banchu was the one at the fundraising meeting last time, right? He can really save my brother? Then I'll go find him."

"Miss, don't worry..." Wang Fu wanted to stop her, but Xu Changning ran very fast and disappeared after a while.

He sighed, looked at He Yuxiu, hesitated to speak.

He Yuxiu pinched the paper so hard that her fingertips turned white.His eyes were fixed on the three words above, almost staring a hole out of it.After an unknown amount of time, he opened his mouth and said in a low voice, "Okay, I'll go."

"Uncle Wang, hurry up and get Ning Ning back."

"Hey." Uncle Wang was very happy, he responded, nodded and went out.

That afternoon, He Yuxiu, carrying some gifts, stopped Huang Banchu's car beside Guang Yulan at the gate of Huang's residence.

"Mr. Huang," he knocked on the car door, and asked, "Do you have time to chat with me?"

Huang Banchu seemed to be in a really good mood. He slowly got out of the car, looked him up and down, and mocked: "Look, isn't this a great painter? What kind of wind can blow you to me. "

He Yuxiu tried her best to force out an ugly smile, and said, "To tell you the truth, He has something to ask."

Huang Banchu looked at his expression and laughed. He touched the jadeite ring on his hand and said casually: "I'm really joking. Doesn't the great painter take us business people seriously? Can I help you?"

"I'm afraid only Boss Huang can help with this task?"

"Interesting, interesting..." Huang Banchu laughed, raised his feet and walked into the yard, sighing as he walked; "Why don't you say, this Feng Shui really turns around. At first I wanted to ask for something from Mr. He, but now it's the other way around Now, Mr. He actually wants to ask for something from me, let me think about it, how did Mr. He treat me in the first place?"

He Yuxiu stopped talking.

Huang Banchu glanced at the things in his hand, sneered, and said, "Why is the great painter begging for help with these things?"
