People’s Heart

The electric lights flickered on and off. In the narrow room, except for the electric light that flickered on and off due to the voltage, there was no trace of light. The damp walls and cement all reminded the people in the room that this was

An underground secret room. (It only takes a genius 3 seconds to remember d

"Is anyone there?"

A roar roared out from Tian Tong's throat, but apart from the echo in the room, there was nothing else waiting for him.

When he woke up from the coma, no one paid attention to him anymore. During the long wait, his feet had been frozen without any warmth. When he woke up, he found that there were

His shoes and socks had been taken off, and the cold pain on his feet reminded him that this was done deliberately by his kidnapper.

Who kidnapped him?

Is he Yuan Shikai's secret agent?

When this idea emerged, he immediately denied it in his heart. Although he did not understand Yuan Shikai's methods, the person who kidnapped him was definitely not sent by Yuan Shikai.

Not to mention anything else, just the swiftness of the opponent's actions was enough to explain everything. Before he could even react, he received a needle in his neck, and then he fell into a coma. Those two people were obviously "skilled in this"

.

Who could it be?

Could it be...

Just when this thought came to his mind, the iron door opened, and it was the same young man wearing a black pea coat. There was also not much emotion on his face. Just when he opened his mouth to want to

When asking questions, the other person's lips parted.

"Mr. Tian, ​​please come with me!"

While he was speaking, the young man's right hand got stuck in his arm socket. In an instant, Tian Tong felt a sharp pain. The pain made him gasp, and he could only let the other party drag him out of the "prison".

"Who are you? Why did you kidnap me?"

Although Tian Tong struggled and tried to ask the answer, the other party ignored him at all. After walking a few steps, he entered a room. This room seemed colder than the prison he had stayed in before. It was only then that he noticed

, it seems that the place he is in is far colder than the weather he is familiar with, like a cold winter.

In the room, there was a young man wearing a suit sitting. The suit on that man seemed to fit very well, and it could even be said to be spotless. The straight suit looked quite elegant on him.

"Please sit down!"

The young man in a suit stretched out his hand to signal. When Tian Tong sat down, he noticed the other person and did not pay attention to him at all. He did not even raise his head. He leaned his left elbow on the table, looked at something with his right hand, and held the cigarette between his left hand.

, wisps of blue smoke came out.

"Mr. Tiantong!"

After Tian Tong sat down, the young man in the suit looked up. It was a face that was also without any emotion, but it made Tian Tong instinctively have a dangerous awareness. The faces of other people he had seen might not have emotions.

, but the coldness in this man's eyes only made people feel chilled.

"It must be very uncomfortable!"

When the young man in the suit was talking, he pointed the cigarette butt in his hand toward the ground, obviously pointing at his feet that were already purple from the cold.

"Who are you? Why did you kidnap me?"

When asking questions, Tian Tong tried his best not to let his legs touch the ground, but the coldness of his feet to the bone still made his voice tremble involuntarily when he spoke.

He had seen his feet before, and he knew that if it continued to freeze like this, his feet would freeze to death, and they might even be amputated in the end.

"Mr. Tian Tong, head of the Hubei Party Headquarters of the Chinese Revolutionary Party, well, you were the one who established the Hubei Party Headquarters, right?"

The young man in a suit did not answer his question, but asked his own question again.

"Who are you? Why kidnapped me?"

Tian Tong persisted with the same stubbornness. When answering, he raised his head and looked at the other person, but saw a smile flash across the face of the young man in a suit. The smile flashed by, but it never made people feel warm.

"Want to smoke?"

The young man in a suit asked, and at the same time handed the cigarette case in his hand to him. After Tian Tong took out a cigarette, he repeated the previous question again, but Tian Tong still asked calmly.

"Who are you? Why did you kidnap me?"

His answer was only met with a smile from the young man in a suit. But what was different from last time was that after smiling, he walked to the iron-barred window and signaled Tian Tong to come over.

As soon as he walked to the window, Tian Tong felt a chill. Through the window railing, he saw another spacious room about ten feet long and wide. The ground was covered with thick ice cubes. On the white ice cubes, you could see

He could clearly see the bright red footprints, and until this moment, Tian Tong finally knew why he felt that it was colder here than outside.

At this time, the young man in a suit looked at the room full of ice cubes on the ground and said in a very plain tone.

"This room is 30 meters wide and 30 meters long, and a circle is about 120 meters. Although I don't want to waste time, I think it should be acceptable to let the person being interrogated run for half an hour before the interrogation begins.

!”

As he said that, he turned back and stared at Tian Tong, with a smile on his face again.

"And it's necessary!"

As soon as his voice fell, before Tian Tong could speak, the door was opened again, and two people rushed in and grabbed him. During his struggle, they dragged him into the room full of ice cubes on the ground.

During the struggle, all the clothes and clothes on his body were taken off, and he was thrown into the room naked.

"asshole!"

After being stripped of his clothes, he yelled and cursed loudly in shame and anger, but when he was cursing those people, he could only hug his body tightly and huddle on the cold and biting ice. Standing barefoot on the ice, it was cold,

It was so cold that even the seams of his bones ached. Tian Tong, who was squatting on the ice and shaking all over, could clearly see the calmness on the face of the young man in a suit and the coldness in his eyes through the window.

The young man in the suit was smoking quietly, looking extremely calm. It seemed that this kind of thing was completely normal for him.

One minute, two minutes...

Slowly Tian Tong felt that his heart was getting cold, and the blood all over his body seemed to be frozen. It was getting colder and colder. As he trembled, his consciousness became more and more blurred.

When his consciousness became more and more blurred due to shame, anger and cold, the iron door opened, and the young man in a suit appeared outside. He looked at the frail body shivering in the cold.

"Bring Mr. Tian's clothes!"

The young man in a suit said to the door, then turned to look at Tian Tong and said.

"Mr. Tian, ​​after you get dressed, we will talk again. I hope this is the last time!"

Finally, he entered the room again. The difference from last time was that his feet were covered with chilblains, and blood was dripping from his feet with every step he took. After entering the room, he saw the middle of the hand of the young man in a suit.

Drinking a cup of hot tea, the hot tea was steaming. When he sat down, the young man in a suit glanced at him.

"It's cold, isn't it? Would you like a cup of hot tea?"

As he spoke, the young man in a suit pushed the teacup in front of him and looked at the steaming cup of tea. For the first time, he felt that tea was so tempting. He wrapped up his clothes tightly and did not pick up the cup of tea.

, but raised his head and looked at the young man in a suit, and saw this man putting out his cigarette in the ashtray.

"Mr. Tian, ​​I hope you can tell me your plan!"

plan?

Tian Tong was stunned, what do they know?

The other party's reaction caught the eye of the young man in a suit, but made him sneer in his heart. Sure enough, just as he had initially guessed, they were indeed planning something.

Maybe there is some conspiracy!

What could be the conspiracy?

This is exactly what he hopes to get from Tian Tong, and the interrogation and training techniques he has learned and has been tried and tested on prisoners of war will help him obtain all the information he needs from this person.

"Heroism, as the most fundamental impulse of human beings, has its deep roots, which is the fear of death... If people were purely angels, they would not be afraid of death; if people were purely animals, they would not know how to fear death. And humans would not be afraid of death.

It is both physiological and self-aware, and has a symbolic self due to culture, so it is destined to face death and fear death."

As for the young man in a suit, he understands human nature. Even though he inflicts torture, it does not mean that he will only act recklessly. In fact, interrogation involves too many skills.

In Tian Tong's silence, the young man in a suit looked at his watch. When he made this action, Tian Tong couldn't help but lift his legs up, which almost became an instinctive reaction.

"Please tell me your plan!"

While talking, the young man in a suit picked up a pen and started taking notes. He saw hesitation in the other person's eyes. He knew that everything was over and he could get everything he needed from him.

In September and October of 1909, that is, before and after the members elected by the gentry and people from all the provinces, departments, states, and counties gathered in Wuchang for the election of speaker and deputy speaker, Huguang Governor Chen Kuilong selected the president.

The old Lvying site to the north of Machang, close to the southern foot of Snake Mountain, serves as the construction site for the Consultative Bureau meeting place. The architectural drawings are copied from those of the Jiangsu Consultative Bureau, and the Jiangsu drawings are Zhang Jian's plan to build the Jiangsu Consultative Bureau northeast of Nanjing's Drum Tower.

Special people were sent to visit the Japanese House of Representatives building, and after interviewing various architectural patterns, they imitated the design. Therefore, the architectural form of the Hubei Advisory Bureau meeting place is basically the same as that of the Jiangsu Advisory Bureau meeting place, and they are both in the Japanese House of Representatives architectural style.

Under the supervision of the supervisory committee and after nearly a year of hard work by the repairing craftsmen, the two projects were finally completed as scheduled in early September 1910. As mentioned above, the entire building is divided into two major areas: office and living areas.

, is a rather grand and spectacular building complex.

The main building, the Conference Hall, is a two-story building with a brick and wood structure. Since the entire building complex is made of red bricks and red tiles and is red in color, the term "Red Building" also refers to the entire building complex. Red Building

The middle of the first and second floors is opened as a foyer. The space is high and spacious. There is a flat and bright glass viewing panel on the top of the hall. The upper level of the viewing panel is a towering church-style watchtower. There are stairs on both sides of the foyer.

The corridors on the second floor are connected and extend in all directions. There is a protruding porch in front of the foyer. The oval cement return lanes go down the porch on the left and right and extend to the courtyard gate in front of the building. Horse-drawn carriages, cars, etc. can pass through the courtyard and take a detour.

Walking into the foyer from the porch, you can directly reach the meeting hall.

At this time, the square meeting hall of the Red Mansion was packed with representatives of the Hubei Provincial Congress and the Hubei Provincial business community. The reason why they came here was to listen to Li Zicheng’s speech. In the past hour, applause has continued here.
