The patrolman was arrogant. Seeing this, Xu Guantian asked someone to calm Yu Shoucai down, and then went out to the door and said, "What's the point?"

The patrol officer thought that the only one in the store was Yu Shoucai's relatives and old friends, ordinary merchants, but the people who came out were very gentle. Although they were dressed in short shirts, they looked calm and looked a little like scholars. Then he glanced at the sign hanging at the door. Seeing that it was a farmer's association, he knew that it was a meeting organized by a group of scholars. His tone became much weaker for a while and said, "I followed the orders of Mr. Yang, the prefecture judge, to get Yu Shoucai, but he hid in your place. You send him out. This article was first published by...."

Juzhou is a prefecture, unlike a county, naturally there are magistrates, states, and prefecture judges. Mr. Yang of this prefecture is from Daxing County. He has been an official in Juzhou for more than ten years. Everyone is very familiar with him. When Xu Guantian heard the patrol police say that Mr. Yang of the Prefecture judges, he said: "Yu Shoucai is a member of the Farmers Association. If you send him a message in the future, you can come to the Farmers Association. Don't run to the countryside. Was he taken away because the Wang family sued him for destroying the land?"

Xu Guantian took back the right to talk. The patrolman was used to being kind to the scholar. When he saw him ask, he took out the detention ticket and said, "It's the case of destroying the land. Mr. Wang has sued the official. We are going to take him back now, and the court will be held tomorrow. Also, if you have a liang of silver in the detention ticket, will you pay for it? There is also straw sandal money..."

Before the patrol police could finish his sentence, Xu Guantian stopped him and said, "According to the fresh criminal law, civil lawsuits should not be detained. Yu Shoucai will be suspended at the Farmers Association tonight. He will go to the Yamen Hall to report tomorrow morning. If you have your money for detention, the Farmers Association will pay, but the straw sandals money will not pay."

Although the patrol officer worked in the state for many years, he didn't know the old law, let alone the new criminal law. Seeing Xu Guantian's words positive, he couldn't refute it. However, at least the farmers' association came forward to guarantee and agreed to the tomorrow hall news, he was relieved. However, the money for the detention was given, but his hard-earned money was not settled. Just as he was about to get angry, Xu Guantian said again: "Did you beat the wound on Yu Shoucai's face?" This sentence only made him suddenly jump in his heart, and he said again: "If you beat me, I will report to Mr. Yang and let him make it clear."

Beating the country people is never a big deal. The leading patrolman was about to get angry. More than a dozen men flashed out of the farmer association, and only half surrounded the three of them. He said panic: "What do you want to do? If you can issue a detention silver, then give me that one or two taels."

Xu Guantian just smiled and asked others to give money. Seeing that the patrol was blocked and the people were brave enough, Yu Shoucai suddenly shouted, "When I came, I asked someone that I had borrowed 336 cents, where would I have one tael of silver?"

As soon as he said this, the patrolman suddenly felt a fierce look on his face, which scared him back into the crowd. However, since Yu Shoucai said that he had given more than 300 entries, Xu Guantian only gave the leading patrolman 500 entries. Now the silver depreciates are very depreciated. According to the current price of Juzhou, he has given more than 36 entries. However, the patrolman has worked hard for a long time to get only 36 entries. He was very angry, but when he saw more than a dozen men around the Farmers Association, Xu Guantian, a scholar, was not easy to get angry, so he just took the money and went there.

As soon as they left, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Only Yu Shoucai said, "It's a few dozen cents cheaper for them." He thought about the dozen cents and said to Xu Guantian: "President Xu, what should I do if I pass the court tomorrow? I haven't. Do you have to hit the board as soon as I enter?"

Xu Guantian felt sorry for the thirty cents at this time, and was very unhappy at first, but he thought that the movement of the Farmers Association had begun and was not careless. If Yu Shoucai was bribed by the landlord and lost the lawsuit, the exercise would be a failure. He said now: "Shoucai, today the farmer is here, do you make the words clear, are you going to fight the lawsuit to the end? If you don't want to fight the battle halfway, or if you are bribed by the landlord and confessed your guilt, then we will help you stand out in vain."

Yu Shoucai didn't understand Xu Guantian's plan and said, "How could I not sue? If I confessed, then Tian would be gone."

Seeing that he didn't understand this, Xu Guantian said again: "If Mr. Wang told you that as long as you confess, Tian still won't accept you, and you will also reduce your rent. In addition, you will have to give you more than ten taels or dozens of taels of silver. What will you do?"

Yu Shoucai suddenly understood what Xu Guantian meant and unconsciously calculated it. But as soon as he raised his eyes, he saw more than a dozen men staring at him, looking even more vicious than the patrolman. He immediately said, "I, Yu Shoucai, keep my word, I will definitely not admit my guilt in this lawsuit, and I will definitely fight to the end!"

"Okay! Take Shoucai to have a meal first, and sleep at the Farmers' Association today," Xu Guantian told others, "Let's go in and continue the meeting."

Xu Guantian only arranged everything and reported to Yang Rui. However, Yang Rui did not express any opinions. He just asked him to seize this opportunity and unite the members, so as not to let this firm win case down.

Yang Rui said that the case was sure to win, but it was not the case. The landlord Wang greeted Yang Jinwen, but Yu Liwu's mouth was very powerful in the main hall and was very proficient in the newly compiled criminal law. Moreover, Xu Guantian sent people overnight to call hundreds of farmers to enter the city and stand outside the government office to cheer. After this situation, Yang Jinwen was timid and became a clean official. In court, he only said that the landlord Wang had no evidence, so he was sentenced to Yu Shoucai not guilty.

Of course, the field did not retreat; there was also the patrol officer beating people, and they scolded the patrol officers in court, and even asked them to pay for the injury. As soon as the court sentenced him, it immediately spread to the outside of the street. The members of the farmers' association prepared outside set off firecrackers. Hundreds of farmers' association members were very happy. The lawyer Yu Liwu, who came out, delivered a speech on the spot, calling on the farmers to unite, help each other to plant good fields, and eat a full meal. Everyone clapped and looked very excited when they heard this.

"Comrade Wen, the matter is probably not over yet!" Yang Rui only looked at the lively farmers' association members in the teahouse opposite the yamen, and felt that the first exercise was successful. However, what Xu Guantian, who had just arrived, said was not good news.

"Why is the matter not finished yet?" Yang Rui, who was sitting next to Cheng Lu, released the woman's hand under the table, reached onto the table, and took only a sip of tea.

"When the landlord named Wang left the house, he only said that the state magistrate Yang was scared by hundreds of mud legs outside. This judgment did not count. He said that he would bring hundreds of people to cheer for the next time he passed the court." Xu Guantian said the news he heard in the main hall just now, and it was a little worried. It was actually the first time he had to sue. The mighty voice of the yamen runner in the yamen was very scary at first. Although he won this time, he was worried that he would not win the next time.

"The more you fight in this case, the bigger the fight, the better. There are more landlords or more farmers?" Yang Rui knew that because he was here, he was only allowed to succeed and not fail, and he felt under great pressure. He even thought that if this matter was over, he would write a list of struggle cases, which was a good textbook, so he persuaded him with kind words.

"Of course there are many farmers." Xu Guantiandao.

"Wouldn't that be fine? You should use this to mobilize farmers immediately and ask Yu Shoucai to accompany Yu Liwu to give a speech in various villages and tell the farmers about this matter, saying that the Farmers' Association can not only help everyone cultivate land, but also help everyone sue and win, so that everyone can join the Farmers' Association. Comrade Guantian, this farmer and landlords have any winners in the past?" Yang Rui asked again.

"It seems...it seems that I have never won before!" Xu Guantian thought, and suddenly light came out of his face, very happy, "I understand. Comrade Wen, I understand..." After that, he ran down hurriedly.

In the squeaking sedan, Wang Fucai, the landlord who left the main hall, had a gloomy face and sweaty on his forehead. His ears were still the mighty voice of the yamen runners in the main hall and the cheers of those mud legs outside winning the lawsuit. A few words kept rolling in his heart and echoing, that was: a great humiliation!

The landlord never lost the lawsuit against the tenant, but he lost. He could fully imagine how they would think of him when facing other landlords in the future; the marriage that his son was talking about would probably be ruined; and the future sent people to the countryside to collect rent, which would be impossible; and... everything was because he lost the lawsuit today, and before the court was over, he could promise to give Yang Jinwen dozens of taels of silver, so he lost. Such an experience only made him almost vomit blood, and now the only thing he could think of was going to the old dealer for help.

"Master Zhuang, although this farmer association is under the guise of increasing income and midwifery, it is actually gathering people to cause trouble and making ill-conspiracy. Today, it is even more intimidating the state verdict, distorting black and white, and bullying the landlords. If this continues, the rules for thousands of years will be chaotic. If this rule is chaotic, then the owners with land will be eaten and accommodated everywhere and are oppressed by them at all times. You have to help everyone make a name for themselves and call all the landlords in this state to come for a meeting and discuss countermeasures.Master Zhuang, it is said that there are thousands of households in the farmer association, and many of them are tenants of the farmer association. If the power of the farmer association becomes bigger, it will be troublesome." After briefly speaking today's lawsuit, Wang Fucai said such a heartfelt word to Zhuang Houtao again.

"This lawsuit..." Zhuang Houtao started but couldn't continue. The landlord lost the lawsuit, which was something that he had never done before. He was not good at mocking Wang Fucai for this. Thinking of the fact that many tenants in his farm had indeed joined the Farmers' association, he had to say: "The Farmers' association is very popular now, if this continues... Then as Mr. Wang said, I have asked the landlords from all over the past few days to come and discuss it."

The matter of Zhuang Houtao, the master of the merchant, asking the landlords to gather for discussion, soon reached Xu Guantian's ears, and even the details of the meeting were revealed by Zhuang Houze's son Zhuang Shanchang. Wang Fu, who lost the lawsuit, accused the farmers' association of all kinds of evil deeds, such as: "Strange skills, gathering people to cause trouble, disregarding ethics, not ethics, intimidating the state's verdict, bullying the landlord," and believed that, "The landlords use money to buy land, paying grain for the country, and taking tenants to take charge of the country, and taking charge of the people as the supervisor. The farmers' association incited farmers and plotted against evil intentions. If they did not disband early, not only would the landlords suffer losses, but the court was also in danger. At the least, they could not receive grain, the national treasury panic, and in severe cases, they raised the flag to rebel, causing trouble to the world...'

After Wang Fucai finished speaking, all the landlords agreed with the high-fives. Then Wang Jingzhong took out the latest leaflets issued by the Farmers Association, pointing to the first and fourth articles of the twelve articles on the flyers, and then said: Since the establishment of the Farmers Association last year, we didn't want our landlords to join the association. We said that we are not farmers, we only know how to collect rent on land, and we don't know anything about farming. Now we are sending leaflets everywhere, saying that we should prevent landlords from raising rents and submitting petitions to reduce rents in the bad year. It's simply outrageous! Now the court has established a parliament to hold a new policy. Although it is recommended that each county establishes a farmer association, it is not the only farmers' association. Now the Farmers Association deliberately provokes the relationship between tenants and owners, saying that it is to guarantee the interests of farmers, but where is our interests? In this way, we also have to report to the master of the state that it is serious to establish a last-minute meeting. I think it is called a landlord association, and the landlord association cannot involve the government. It should be called the "Agriculture Maintenance Association"...

Zhuang Shanchang is very smart. He remembers dozens of landlords at the meeting. He remembers everything they say very clearly and is not messy at all. It took him more than an hour to finish what he remembers. After he went out, Xu Guantian looked at Yang Rui and said, "Comrade Wen, how should we deal with it?"

When he said this, no matter whether it was Li Guangyi, the other members also looked over. Yang Rui smiled and said, "I am just a special commissioner, mainly to check how the work of the farmers' association in Yizhou is done. The suggestions I can have were already said a few days ago. Now is not the time for me to make a decision, but when you ask me what to do. I don't know how many farmers' association members you have, and I don't know how many of these members will listen to you, so I can't answer it. The most important thing for you now is to ask the backbone of the farmers' associations in various townships in Juzhou to discuss it, and see how powerful you are.

Measure? Let’s look at the landlords who set up an agricultural maintenance meeting, how will we do if they defeat them? After the discussion, the final idea is still to you. This is not something that others can help, but the coach can decide the plan. Whether this plan is possible or not. It is a plan, and no one can guarantee that the plan will work, but the coach must keep everyone calm and think that this plan will work, so that the morale of the army will not be in chaos, and only that the morale of the army will not be in chaos, that thing can be accomplished. The power is not with me, but with the farmers."

Yang Rui's words made everyone think. After they gathered to discuss, they went to each township to find people to meet. However, the Farmers Association acted and the Farmers' Association was also taking action. After that day's discussion, the landlords quickly made a brief constitution of the Farmers' Association and got it approved by the magistrate. After that, a sign was displayed on the East Street of Juzhou City the next morning. Unlike the Farmers' Association's black letters, the sign of the Farmers' Association was black letters, and the end was very grand. As soon as the sign was hung out, two firecrackers with thousands of sounds rang out. The opera troupe named Chunliu, raised by the shopkeeper, even sang opera in the Confucian Temple.

When performing outside, Wang Jingzhong, the new vice president of the East Street Agricultural Maintenance Association, advocated to more than 100 landlords, said: "The last time the state sergeant, Mr. Yang, was threatened by those mud legs in court, so he sentenced the unruly person to not guilty, which is very abominable. Now we are going to petition together and ask him to lock the unruly person up and parade the streets, so that the tenants know that they should cherish farming, and dare not fish in the pond and burn forests to hunt. Otherwise, the land in the world will be destroyed by the tenants. If they cannot pay taxes, they will be in trouble."

Wang Jingzhong made a wish at the beginning, which was exactly what everyone wanted. Besides, the dealer took the lead in this matter, and they were just a meeting. After a long time of bustling, the talents discussed not to go to the state magistrate Yang Jinwen. He was old and confused, so he should have gone to the prefectural master Huang to petition.

Petition is one thing, but who to petition is another. Wang Fucai wanted to exclaim his anger, and Wang Jingzhong wanted to gain some benefits in the Agricultural Maintenance Association. In addition to being afraid that the Farmers Association would become bigger, the president Zhuang Houtao also had the idea of ​​not becoming an official, just leading the group of landlords. As for other landlords, most of them came here to join in the fun. After the discussion, Wang Jingzhong wrote a petition, and everyone signed the name and painted the paintings, and then went to the magistrate Huang to petition together.

In the Qing Dynasty, different from the Ming Dynasty, they always suppressed the country gentry, fearing that these people would commit rebellion. In the Hongyang Rebellion, the Eight Banners Green Camp was invincible, which eventually led to the gentry from all over the country. Although the leader of Zeng Guofan and Li Hongzhang were suppressed later, the gentry's power was still growing. A few years ago, the gentry shouted about constitutionalism, and then suddenly opened a parliament. The gentry's power was considered to be a serious one. The magistrate Huang had never been an official in Juzhou before, and he took office only at the beginning of this year. Therefore, everything was followed and he just wanted to make some money to make peace with everyone. Now the gentry came to petition together, and he was shocked and thought something had happened. But after he said that, he realized that some tenants destroyed the land, and the prefecture's judgment case was unclear, and he indulged the evil people on the spot. He asked the inspector Gu Xiuling to the countryside to take people and torture them back to parade the streets.

Gu Xiuling is different from the governor Huang Jialin. He has been in Juzhou for five or six years and knows the farmers' association. He knows that these gentry are sinister. When he talks about the case, he never said that the troublemaker is a member of the farmers' association, nor did he say that Wang Fucai could not provide any evidence of destroying the land when he was in court last time. He was about to persuade him, but he looked at the gentry big and big, and then he thought that Mr. Huang was not familiar with him. He wanted to add patrol officers before, so he stopped talking and asked several patrol officers to get people.

When the patrol officer entered the village, the village where Yu Shoucai lived was in chaos. The last time the patrol officer was still here, and when he met, he beat Yu Shoucai again, and then he used a chain to punish him and went to Zhoucheng. When he approached Zhoucheng, he deliberately bypassed the south gate and went to the east gate, so as not to cause trouble again by the farmers' association.

The Farmers Association was still discussing how to deal with the rent collection association (agricultural maintenance association). However, Yu Shoucai's village rushed over and shouted something happened when he arrived at the Farmers Association. Xu Guantian hurriedly pulled the person and said, "What's wrong?"

"Yu Shoucai was taken into the city by the yamen again." The person who came was gasping for breath, not sure whether he was scared or ran away.

Yu Liwu hurriedly said, "Sit down and say it clearly. What is the crime of taking Yu Shoucai this time?"

"I don't know what the charge was, but the patrol officers came last time. They beat Yu Shoucai as soon as they met." Lai Ren said, obviously he didn't understand the situation.

"I think it was the last time when the rent collectors made a mistake." Yu Liwu said.

After he said this, the person who had entered the city in the morning also said, "In the morning, I saw a large group of people from the rent collection meeting went to the magistrate's mansion. At that time, I thought I was going to invite the magistrate to see the show, but now I should be asking the magistrate to get people."

"Yes! Yes! These landlords and those corrupt officials were originally the same group. Now Zhuang Houtao, the dealer, raised his head. He would naturally speak to the government and ask the government to arrest people." Hei Qi of the patrol team was the dealer's slave before. He was very clear about the skills of the old dealer.

"President, what should I do? What should I do?" After knowing the whole story, more than 20 farmers' association cadres looked at Xu Guantian, hoping that he could come up with a solution.

Xu Guantian graduated from the Shanghai Agricultural Movement Training Institute and naturally understood what he should do at this time. He only looked at the people and said, "Nothing is done. Now that their landlords are united, our farmers' association should be more united. Only when they are united can they have strength. As long as they are powerful, they will not be bullied casually. Now everyone put down their things and go to each village and township to call people immediately. The more people they shout, the better. Let's gather here tomorrow at 10 o'clock, and then everyone goes to the city to ask the government to release people!"

Seeing Xu Guantian's determination so confident, everyone was busy going out, Yu Liwu said, "It's better not to concentrate here, just go to the Land Temple five miles away. The Farmers' Association will prepare pancakes for 5,000 people there, and then eat and encourage them to enter the city."

"Yes! Just go to the Land Temple five miles away. The Farmers Association prepares pancakes for 10,000 people. When you go to call people, you call them, no matter whether they are from the Farmers Association or not. After dinner, you encourage them to follow them and go to the city. Don't tell them that they are causing trouble, just say it's a petition. Also, remember to ask everyone to wear blue clothes." Xu Guantian was also busy correcting, but he added the code and just wanted the more people, the better.

The head and vice presidents issued an order, and the officials from all villages and townships hurriedly took the order. As soon as they left, Xu Guantian said to Hei Qi, the captain of the patrol team: "You can send a few more flexible people into the city now to find out what news is in the city, and more than 100 backbones. We will inform you tonight. We must discuss how to deal with the fifty patrol police in the state city."

"Okay! I'll go right away." Hearing that he was going to make a big fuss tomorrow, and he had to deal with dozens of patrol police officers who had long disliked him, Hei Qi's excited voice was a little trembling, and he replied in a daze. Just as Xu Guantian was looking at him, he immediately shouted: "Yes! I'll go make arrangements immediately and defend the farmers' association to the death!" Then he jumped out of the door.

On the second day of the Black July, Xu Guantian arranged for people to buy sorghum noodles and distributed them to the homes of the farmers' association members near the city of the city, so that they could make a 10,000 people tomorrow. When people went out, they arranged for another to buy fifty white cloth and ink, which were all used as flags, and also ordered to prepare a thousand wooden poles of large and small sizes. When this person left, he sent someone to find a few suona players. According to the standard procedures, the farmers' associations must beat and beat when they enter the city, so that they can attract everyone's attention.

It took more than an hour for Xu Guantian to roughly arrange all the things. Before continuing to hold a meeting to discuss the details in the evening, he hurried to Yang Rui. At this time, Yang Rui was in Juzhou for many days, and had just finished the Yizhou Revolutionary Conference the day before yesterday. He was about to leave for Yishui County tomorrow, but he didn't expect that Juzhou would actually hold a large parade.

"Have the mission been arranged?" Yang Rui asked Xu Guantian, who was a little excited.

"Yes, everything has been arranged. Success or failure depends on one goal tomorrow. I came here to ask Comrade Wen to stay for a day so that we can be brave." Xu Guantian said.

Yang Rui smiled and said, "Okay! Now you are going to parade and petition. You are the commander-in-chief. As long as you are the ones inside, you can assign tasks if you are empty. Tell me, what can I do?"

Xu Guantian actually didn't think about what to do for Yang Rui. He just wanted Yang Rui not to leave tomorrow. In this way, he knew that there was a person from the General Association behind him and he was more courageous. Now that he saw that Yang Rui fully agreed and asked him to arrange the task, he didn't know what to say for a while. After all, Yang Rui brought all the people from other places. Even if Yang Rui was asked to give a speech to the members of the Farmers Association, those farmers might not be able to understand it.
Chapter completed!
