When the people tied into a bunch of people were escorted out of the main entrance of the yamen, the whole Sanyi Street was in full swing: these people were walking in the yamen, all of whom were arrogant because of their good jobs. Many of them were well-dressed masters and nobles who regarded themselves as masters and relatives, but now they were tied up under the gun of the sheriff like criminals, tied up and escorted out of each other, and walked towards the public security bureau on foot. For the people who were already crowded with people outside the yamen, it was so strange and exciting.

Wherever those people went, they were like magnets, and the crowd was like iron filings. They followed them in groups, pushed around them, bent down and looked at their heads that were already low. Some people even used foreign oil glass lamps to illuminate their faces with bad hearts. Once they recognized someone, they would shout out the name of a certain master. No matter whether they knew or not, they would shout the name in unison, and they did not forget to add the names of "Master" and "Classman" and other yamen names, and then laughed loudly. Under the humiliation and fear of watching, the group of people cried a lot after walking a few steps.

Of course, someone in the person tied up a bunch of people raised his neck and shouted in local language: "My grass! What's going on! Why are everyone coming out? Are you rebelling too? I really don't know anything! I just spend the night in the yamen, isn't this okay?"

And just now, another group of people pushed away the people like a dark tide and rushed to the group of "criminals". Zhang Qijie shouted in the dark tide: "Liu Guojian, a corrupt official! He is nepotist! He takes advantage of others! He is robbed! He is finally retribution from God today! Hallelujah! Thank God!"

Then Li Guangxi shouted fiercely and followed: "Liu Guojian colluded with a hooligan and villain and threatened my son! They also framed Wang Yu's family in prison! You deserve it!"

The two of them shouted and immediately aroused the response of the dark tide surrounding them, and immediately arose around the crowd: "Damn the dog official! Do evil! Hallelujah!"

This Hei Chao is naturally the workers of the two and Wang Yu family and others. Because Liu Guojian messed up and sealed two large factories, Li Guangxi did not dare to start work. The workers inside did not work, so the factory owner naturally could not give them full income. Everyone was naturally resentful. Moreover, the workers were not the same person, he was the pillar of the family and represented a family. This group of people naturally followed the boss and hated Liu Guojian and his gang deeply.

However, Zhang Qijie and the others loudly accused and insulted Liu Guojian, and they still had the intention of inciting the people: because Liu Guojian is a very capable guy and is indeed very good at Longchuan's development, the common people really don't hate him because of his different status, unlike Zhang Qijie and others who were directly extorted and attacked. Therefore, the factory owner took his workers to scold Liu Guojian along the way, and took Liu Guojian's big hat to obtain public support, so that Liu Guojian who was about to come later confronted the court of Director Zhang.

The people knew nothing at all. After hearing Zhang Qijie and the others yell, so many workers agreed with their relatives. Naturally, they stared at each other with big eyes. Many people asked each other: "So Lord Liu is a corrupt official? Isn't he very good?"

Gradually, some people also agreed with the factory owners and workers. After all, so many people said bad things about Liu Guojian, and this person should not be a good person. Then the doubts of the crowd became: "Yes! He must be a corrupt official, but we don't know, otherwise the security officer can arrest them?"

"Bah! Kill these bastards!" Someone began to push the captured master, and then a troubled person rushed over with a smile and kicked down one master. They were all tied into a string, one fell down, and the others followed suit. The escort officer panicked and drove away the group of people with a butt, cursing and threatening to prevent them from working.

The crowd did not dare to go over and hit people directly. I don’t know who started spitting at them. Immediately, spitting on the captives in the crowd like raindrops. The sound of pussy pussy pussy pussy pussy pussy pussy pussy pussy pussy pussy pussy pussy pussy pussy pussy pussy pussy pussy

Liu Guojian was taken out, and he came out in a carriage in the public security bureau. He looked around in front of the carriage in the yamen: the sheriffs and militiamen standing guard with live ammunition, looking at him with an incredible laughter as if they were both excited and sleepwalking. Not far away, a gate that he had changed into was pushed to the ground and twisted into a curved surface. Opposite the twisted iron door was a small doorman with glass windows that were shot like honeycombs, and the blood of the once loyal guards remained on the walls and glass slags. Outside the yamen, waves of "Corrupt officials deserve to die!" and "Liu Guojian deserve to die!" and "Liu Guojian deserve to die!" rushed in through the walls.

"When did I become a corrupt official? They spread rumors!" Liu Guojian roared in fear and anger, but the two sheriffs beside him smiled and pressed his head and pushed him onto the carriage.

When the carriage was driving, when waves of insults he would never admit came in outside, Liu Guojian closed his eyes in pain and felt that the entire county town had life, turning into a ghostly sea of ​​demons, and he wanted to tear his boat to pieces.

Yes, in this familiar street, the familiar people turned into a different appearance tonight, and the entire county town came alive, and they were rushing towards him, pushing his fearful soul.

Two sheriffs squeezed into the back seat of Liu Guojian and sat in a row. While walking on the street, a sheriff next to him looked out and smiled and said to his colleagues: "The whole county town has come out, right? It's all over the dark."

Another person was silent for a while, turned his head and walked over to his colleagues, and asked, "Erzi, do you think we have rushed into the yamen and arrested everyone. Is this considered rebellion?"

"That's a big deal. Since Director Zhang has spoken, is there any matter going to run away? Our bureau chief usually doesn't speak, and it's right when he speaks!" The man said, looking down at Liu Guojian beside him, and smiled and said, "Who asked our mayor to shelter the suspect? How can the yamen become a bandit cave? Everyone is created and equal. The law means that the prince violates the law and commits the same crime as the common people. Who said it is all created by God? Wrong! Wrong! I deserve to die! I said the wrong thing! Long live the crown prince! The crown prince is higher than the law! However, we are doing things according to the law, truly loyal to the emperor and love God, right?"

"That's the reason!" Another man seemed to convince himself to jump, and he shouted: "The two Fujianese still resist arrest with guns! The boy in the backyard of the teahouse was actually shooting the official, it's just damn!"

Erzai knocked his finger at the glass window of the carriage and shouted to his colleagues: "Look! Elder Zhang and Boss Li and others have also come over there. They are smart people, and they are also good people recognized by our county town as Jesus. If our mayor hadn't ignored this time, they wouldn't have led workers and militias to help us, right?"

"Yes, yes! Elder Zhang is both pious and good at doing business, how could he do something wrong?" The other person's voice sounded completely relaxed at this time, and he even laughed: "Doctor Li is here to support us too! Dr. Li is here, that is, Jesus is on our side! I'm afraid we have a reason when we see His Majesty!"

Erzai laughed: "Damn it! Of course we make sense! Doctor Li stayed in the medicine box behind my butt for a night, but no one died or injured. I slaughtered all my bullet bags. God knows where all my bullets were hit! Love is like yourself, and it is enough to shock the criminals. The law enforcement is successful but no killing."

Another person covered his stomach and laughed, "We are loving police officers. Even our guns and bullets are loving, so we don't hurt people, haha!"

"I originally established this order! But I want to tear me apart? I shouldn't want to change the order..." Liu Guojian in the carriage sighed grief and anger, then he stretched out his hand and pulled the curtains in front of the startled Erzai. Then he bowed his waist between the two police officers, pressed his forehead against his knees, and covered his ears with both hands. He immediately soaked his silk pajama pants.

In the frenzied fear and pain in his heart, Liu Guojian recalled with difficulty:

The Longchuan County he took over was not like this now. It was a poor, dilapidated county with troublemakers everywhere and beggars everywhere. Just now, because of the chaos of railways, the county town was killed and blood flowed into a river. When he was sitting in the yamen with a slide rod, the civilians looked at him with fear and anxiety, and the blood on the dilapidated mud was not dry yet.

And now, the Presbyterian Church, which is full of respect in its mouth, isn't it also filled with the light of the dazzling central church in the center of the county? At that time, the Presbyterian Church was just a church in the dilapidated courtyard of the county town, using a square wooden board that was worm-destroying as a brand. During the week, the believers sat on a crooked stool; it was Liu Guojian gritting his teeth and tightening his belt, and in this broken county, the central church was built, and the faith was placed in the center of the county town, so that those who do not know Christ would be respectful at first sight. At that time, he had never been greedy for a penny in order to follow the emperor.

At that time, Zhang Qijie and Li Guangxi were not as respected as they are now: Zhang Qijie settled the countryside tycoon who had just entered the city, and he was wandering around the county town with a dazzling braid. When he learned that this man was going to build a textile factory, Liu Guojian and Zhang Qijie squatted on the ground of the textile factory and the railway station where he was still a water pit to study the factory planning. Many real estate owners were still Liu Guojian who helped Zhang Qijie persuade him to buy it. At that time, who cares about Zhang Qijie? He was just a countryman who had been to the West. However, he saw the county magistrate sent after the Imperial Massacre and was so scared that Zhang Qijie was so arrogant at that time. He was full of words, "Thank you, sir!" and "Grate is hard to repay!";

Li Guangxi was a small cattle with oily head and flour. He thought he was proud of the Chinese and Western style because he opened an iron nail factory. He held a bird cage every day and played mahjong and smoked big cigarettes in the opium hall slanted behind the yamen. It was Liu Guojian who advised him that since you are the local foreign nail king, you should deal with machinery, should you upgrade the factory and manufacture mechanical parts? At that time, when Li Guangxi saw Liu Guojian, he always pretended to bow with Confucian etiquette, and said, "The county magistrate is my mentor!" "I have the grace that the county magistrate is today!"

Director Zhang was not like the giant crocodile hidden in the water at that time. Liu Guojian knew Director Zhang when he was building the railway with Fang Bingsheng. At that time, Director Zhang was a ruthless guy with a fierce look: he loved money like his life and was so naughty. Fang Bingsheng gave Director Zhang some money, so Director Zhang dared to direct his subordinates to line up and shoot at the unarmed demonstrators who hadn't expected to take out guns at that time.

Liu Guojian’s biggest concern for taking over the Longchuan County Magistrate is that he is not able to control Director Zhang;

However, after taking office, I found that what I was facing was not Director Zhang who was unruly, disobeying commands or corruption, but a waste who was confused and confused, and wandered around the church without working every day.

This guy was almost wiped out because his whole family was destroyed, and his temperament changed drastically! He became depressed, timid, and was procrastinated in any work. No one dared to offend him! Even if he caught a thief, he had to persuade him to let him go. Because the director did not do anything, the county security was in chaos, and someone even robbed and killed people at the yamen.

A colleague suggested that Liu Guojian report to the court, saying that Director Zhang might have been stimulated and was not good at doing things well, so he suggested that another person be the director; but Liu Guojian thought that he had a little friendship with Director Zhang when he was building a railway, and Director Zhang had worked in Longchuan for many years and his family was here. He was familiar with the situation, so he did not report to the court to change Director Zhang. Instead, he chatted with Director Zhang every day, took him to patrol the night, and went to the church to pray and repent. As a result, half a year later, Director Zhang recovered from his heart and became Liu Guojian's right-hand man again.

Director Zhang was originally very capable, otherwise he would not have been so ambitious that he had shot civilians back then. Because his personality changed drastically, he lost his original ambition and became both principled and very smooth, taking both black, white and gray, and learning to win people's hearts and appease the people. As a person who talked about, he balanced the disputes between various forces in black, white and gray, and later gradually became the second most powerful figure in the county town.

In the past year, as a high-ranking official with the highest level in the county, he arrested countless criminals. In other places, the same position would be full of enemies. This person actually locked his pistol in the drawer of the desk. He would never bring a gun if he was dispatched, because he had already become round: the entire county town has all the elites, the believers and criminals worshipped at his feet, and there were cheers everywhere. Others were embarrassed to say that he was an absolute local from Longchuan, but when it came to this Guangxi director, everyone gave him a thumbs up and said: Director Zhang was definitely more local than locals.

And this hidden giant was completely supported by Liu Guojian's thoughts of kindness back then.

These people and these things are by no means the dilapidated Longchuan pattern that Liu Guojian had just stepped into. The pattern at that time was patriarchal law (Confucianism), fooling the people and food and clothing.

From this point of view, the elite structure of the county town at this moment: churches, officials, Western learning factory owners - meaning thoughts (Christ), power and money, were actually cultivated by Liu Guojian himself. After all, Longchuan has become one of the top ten model small cities in the Song Dynasty.

Longchuan was too poor and too small, so the previous county magistrate did not do this, but because of the chaos of the people: the patriarchy was flattened by the bayonet of the Haihuang, but the foolish people and poverty were still there. Liu Guojian's task at that time was mainly to use the church to give the foolish people the soul to feed and wear ignorance, use the Tiehe and Western Learning to drive away poverty, and give the foolish people the food and clothing.

But even so, Liu Guojian's change of pattern was very difficult. He made great efforts for this. He was busy day and night, working tirelessly, burning ointment day and night, forgetting to eat, and working hard for Longchuan.

Director Zhang is from Guangxi and has returned to his hometown at least once in three years, but Liu Guojian has never returned. Every Spring Festival, he eats charity porridge with local people.

In the process of fighting from a smuggler in Fujian to a meritorious county magistrate of Song State, he was greatly satisfied. With his efforts and the impact of Western learning, the entire Longchuan actually won the championship of the top ten model small cities. He completed the great achievements that he had not accomplished for the previous predecessors of Song State County magistrates.

But the reputation brought by success is a double-edged sword. With his inauguration photos and unlimited Tongdui Song's anti-foreign banknotes arrived in his hometown, the village caused a sensation. His name was painted red on the family tree dedicated to the ancestral hall. This is a high-ranking official in the village. And he was not an official in the Qing Dynasty, but a Song State, who could pick up gold on the road, became an official. His old father became a second only to the patriarch overnight. His house threshold was trampled flat, but it didn't matter. The villa was about to be built.

Then waves of villagers crossed borders and came to him to eat.

This is not a trouble, this is not an annoying poor relative, this is his own face, this is his own medal of success. How could a Fujianese who strives in a foreign country who values ​​homesickness and values ​​homesickness refuse?

As a result, more and more fellow villagers were around them, and they came faster and faster. Liu Guojian racked his brains to arrange positions and find jobs for them in a foreign country where they were unfamiliar with their lives.

But the pressure is getting stronger and stronger. My father often wrote to him that the next village A village was the county magistrate in the Qing Dynasty, and he gave his family five thousand oceans at a time; the next village B village was doing business in the capital of Song State, renovating the ancestral hall for the village, and taking dozens of fellow villagers to work for him; the next village C village, XX, became an officer of the Little Knife Army in Song State, and when he was a pirate and a fellow member of the Qing Dynasty naval officer, he immediately stepped on the threshold of the family, and gifts piled up like mountains; the next village, XX, digging gold nuggets in New Jinshan (Australia), making a fortune, and when he got home, he always added a sentence: You are the biggest official in our village, and you are also an official in Song State, so the village depends on you.

It was so glorious to watch these fellow villagers work hard in different worlds to make their family shine and serve their hometown, but Liu Guojian felt extremely pressured when he looked at the county town he built.

He is much richer than before, but he cannot give his family five thousand oceans at a time; he is more powerful than before, but he cannot arrange so many fellow villagers, because he has to pass the exam in Song State to become an official, and he can get the county magistrate himself, which is a magical luck.

However, the family could not be shamed. Seeing that Longchuan had developed, Liu Guojian tried his best to arrange the villagers. The best place and the place he could manage was the yamen. Everyone tried their best to stuff them into it. Later, he easily opened the four tables with mahjong at any time.

There are many people and great power, but there are many people and great appetites.

Slowly, among the villagers around him who said this and that he was rich and that he made intentional or unintentional remarks, Liu Guojian also slowly wanted to make a contribution in the area where he was in charge. After all, he had planted crops with blood and sweat, so he had to harvest.

It turned out that he worked hard just to make a name for his belief. Now that Longchuan is getting better and better, he forgot his ideals and why he worked so hard. The smuggler who used to live in a penny and break an inn was forgotten. Liu Guojian began to regret why he didn't make more money when he was working hard.

Liu Guojian wanted to change this order and turned it into a fellow villager often mentioned the order of the Qing Dynasty: the senior officials were crushed to death, officials could shave three feet of the ground, officials could cover the sky with one hand, and officials could take everything! As long as they have the right!!

But when Liu Guojian wanted to reach out, he realized that the crop he planted not only had jade-like fruits, but also thorns!

Qing officials could collect more grain and taxes, but because of the church in the Song Dynasty, farmers who were bullied often gave the right to pay grain to the church, just as the Qing farmers handed over this power to scholars like Yang Naiwu, the troublemakers of Song Dynasty were more insidious than the Qing Dynasty. A farmer who could not read a big word could be transferred from the county town to read the words. People who were proficient in legal newspapers paid their food for them. Officials dared not do anything because they had disagreements, so they would go to the newspaper or sue the yamen. Now the old French priest in the city had made a stubborn position in Longchuan by suing the church;

The merchants are even more difficult to deal with. The Presbyterian Chamber of Commerce was originally a good friend of Liu Guojian. He was cultivated for his own political achievements and the development of Longchuan. However, after they developed, they were armed from their toes to their heads: they had their own organization - the church; they had their own legal weapons, and even specialized in hiring lawsuits; they also had newspapers to support them; they had a large number of workers, who not only brainwashed the workers, turned them into Christians, and regarded themselves as respected faith mentors, so that they could

The foolish people obey their own words, and their descendants want to work for them; and they are willing to use the foolish people, and the group of foolish workers who rely on them to make a living see them as emperors, and even organize bloody battles with the black/gang. They know Western learning and everyone is equal in their mouths. Song State's nonsense that business is the most expensive, and Liu Guojian refuses to give his relatives because they are ungrateful and refuses to give him a position, and even in the tabloids, he even makes no choice after turning the yamen into a casino;

In the Qing Dynasty, the manipulation of lawsuits was very expensive. They could eat the defendant and eat the plaintiff, but this large income was also divided by the court. The county magistrate like Liu Guojian could not interfere, but was handed over to the judge of the circuit court that had been around for two months. The plaintiff and the defendant did not care about the county magistrate, because the judge and Liu Guojian had no relationship with each other. They did not care about each other and gave the money to the judge of the circuit court;

After the diversion of officials, Director Zhang, as a senior official (official officer), no longer the superior-level relationship between Liu Guojian (government officer). The two became different systems. Although they had the power to order, the power to be appointed, dismissed, promoted, and moved the Director of the Public Security Bureau was lost. The Public Security Bureau became very powerful, and it also represented a stronger force.

Although Director Zhang often complained in front of Liu Guojian that they had to take the exam every three years, stayed, promoted, and transferred, not only did they take the written examination of professional examinations, but also had to take the physical education examination, which made him very old and he had to run with his secretary in the morning. However, Liu Guojian could still see the joy in Director Zhang's eyes: the court did this, officials could deeply root themselves in the ground, no longer follow the government officials, no longer be a straitor, but also have greater vigor, and then there will be higher importance and greater power.

A group of mixed-minded veteran officials in the Qing Dynasty could also manipulate the Qiner County Magistrates for sure, while the Song State turned this order and turned the unspoken rules into clear rules. Any official would probably want to stay in this position for life.

At that time, Liu Guojian had not yet understood the meaning of Director Zhang's joy. He just thought that Lao Zhang wanted to take root in Longchuan, nor did he think that Lao Zhang would cause trouble for him, because he was familiar with Lao Zhang's personality and knew that Lao Zhang was a scared man and did not want to go through any storms. His subsequent work also proved Liu Guojian's judgment. Although after the reform, in newspapers and internal reports, foreign government officials and powerful affairs officials often saw lawsuits, attacking each other, spreading rumors, and catching small braids, making them irreconcilable, but Director Zhang never caused trouble for Liu Guojian. He would do whatever Liu Guojian said.

As a result, when Liu Guojian believed that Fang Bingsheng's return to Longchuan gave him the opportunity to fish and burn the forest and hunt (Liu Guojian believed that this was his worthy profit, because the Longchuan people were too stingy and robbed the fruits of his own, the one who contributed), because he had a strong Democratic backstage and chose to be an enemy of the new order he established, Liu Guojian finally understood the meaning of Director Zhang's joy.

It is because he has a choice: whether to protect the iron camp or defend the flowing water!

Choice is power!

However, unfortunately, an official who can serve for life is born a defender of the iron camp! Even if the soldiers who have made great contributions, what does the power have to do with him?

Director Zhang, who benefited from the guardian of order, resolutely surrendered to Liu Guojian's enemy and stabbed Liu Guojian himself to death when Liu Guojian and the local order he built were enemies.

Director Zhang firmly maintained this new order, not only him, but all the elites and vested interests in the county, including Longchuantang Hei/gang, unswervingly maintained this order. What’s ridiculous is that this order was established under the leadership and efforts of Liu Guojian.

They even shot and attacked the opposing people and armed attacks the yamen to achieve the purpose of "execution" the order destroyer Liu Guojian.

Any order actually has life. In order to defend itself, the old order mobilized the troubled people to fight off the railway company and occupy the county town. Three years later, in order to defend itself, the new order mobilized elites to destroy the dangerous enemy in the same way as rebellion. One of its founders, Liu Guojian

"In the ruins of the old order, I established a new order, but this new order did not allow me to change at all. I just wanted to get the reward I deserved, but you turned around and bit me immediately! You ungrateful poisonous snake!" Liu Guojian covered his face with his fingers, and tears gushed out from his fingers.
Chapter completed!
