116 You will lose if you gamble with your life

At dawn, I saw these troops running in four columns, and the movements were neatly arranged as one person. The cross emblem above the head was lined up in a straight line of light. The spear carried on the shoulders was like the steel woods pointing towards the sky, and the mane raised on the neck of a wild beast. Everyone was fully armed, with bayonets hanging on the left of the belt, and a kettle hanging on the right, and a leather bullet bag on the shoulders. While running, these things hit the soldiers' strong bodies, making a huge rustling sound like rain; and the skin under their feet

The thunder of shoes hitting the ground like drums splits the rhythm of heavy rain; there were officers next to them riding a high-headed ocean horse, with horse steps and small steps, like the head of the wild beast in the soldiers, always slightly leading the running queue, fully armed like an officer, the saber scabbard swaying on the horse boots, and the white gloves holding the reins of the horse, sparkling like lightning, and the feathers in the ears of the cylinder cap were trembling slightly, like heavy rain, lightning and eagle feathers soaring in the drums.

Seeing the army suddenly descending to the county town, the people who were going to go to the Public Security Bureau to continue watching the fun were all back and continued to block Sany Street. Everyone was even more excited and focused. Even the small vendors who had just come out to sell breakfast in the crowd carrying loads, and stood on the side of the road, watching the iron flow through; the little people thought that the matter had nothing to do with him, and Zhang Qijie, Li Guangxi and others were all looking at the road in horror. Weng Quanguang swallowed, and they were full of horror and fear;

Xi Shengmo, who was about to rush to the Public Security Bureau, also manipulated the horse on the edge of the road and dodged the road for the army. He got off the horse, held the horse's reins, and watched the soldiers run past him with Xiaomin, but his face was as shocked and slightly scared as Zhang Qijie and the others. Not only Xi Shengmo, but all the sheriffs on the street and at the yamen witnessed the arrival of the army, everyone's face turned pale and thought to himself: "We just attacked the yamen, and the army is here? I don't want anything."

Fang Bingsheng and Shan Ji at the yamen were a little surprised. Fang Bingsheng turned his head and shouted at the pheasant who was standing on tiptoe to watch: "Why are you coming so quickly? The Heyuan garrison arrived in four hours? They didn't have time to rectify the evidence and confirm the evidence. Liu Guojian might be able to save him!"

Shan Ji pointed to the army getting closer and closer and shouted: "Look! Webmaster Lu!"

Fang Bingsheng looked along the pheasant's arm. Sure enough, the officer next to the army ran behind the butt of a horse, and a group of soldiers were running next to the road. He looked quite conspicuous in his railway uniform. Fang Bingsheng was stunned for a moment and shouted: "Yes! Xiao Lu, this bastard, he was guarding the railway station telegraph machine, why didn't he see him coming to inform him all night?"

A few minutes later, the soldiers stopped at the door of the yamen. The officer looked at a row of sheriffs in front of him, and the gate was pushed down. The gatehouse was shot with bullet holes, the building glass was broken all over the floor, and the flowers and plants were in a mess. He got off the horse, pressed the saber scabbard, walked to the front, and looked at Director Zhang who was running out hurriedly, shouting: "What's going on? What about the county magistrate here?"

Fang Bingsheng and Shan Ji took the time, whispered and gestured, calling out the breathless stationmaster Lu, and asked, "What's going on? Is this the army that Heyuan came to suppress the rebellion?"

Stationmaster Lu shook his head, pointed behind him, and said, "This... this is the imperial envoy of the Beijing election! He just got off the train!"

Fang Bingsheng and the others turned their heads and saw a black carriage crossing the front line and heading towards the soldiers at the door and parked at the door. The side door of the carriage was painted with the words Song Zuo Tie Dian, which was the carriage at the train station.

"The imperial envoy has arrived? It's not the anti-rebel army? Why don't you notify us?!" Fang Bingsheng was very surprised because he didn't hear any news.

Webmaster Lu spread his hands and shouted, "Mr. Fang, I got the telegram at 12 o'clock last night. Not only did I come to notify you, but also Lord Liu Guojian! However, when I arrived at this street, the street was full of guys holding guns. I was just hesitating, and there were loud guns inside and outside the yamen... How could I notify you?"

"Imperial envoy? Who is coming?" Fang Bingsheng had no time to pay attention to the anxious expression of the innocent person on the website manager Lu's face. He asked anxiously.

At this moment, a chess of a chess came from behind: "Brother Sheng, come here!"

Fang Bingsheng saw that Shan Ji had already sneaked to the base of the wall next to the door of the yamen. This position allows you to clearly see the situation at the door so that you will not be blocked by the sheriff and the army.

Now the people have gathered again. The left and right of the yamen is full of black heads, and people who are stretching their heads like duck necks are stretched out from the windows on both sides of the street. The entire street looks down from above the Western building, as if it has become a river, with black rivers formed by both ends. There is a blue mainstay in the yamen. The pressure has pushed the black tide into an arc gap surrounding the door of the yamen.

Seeing that more and more people were slipping towards the position of Shanji, Fang Bingsheng pulled the stationmaster Lu and ran over. As soon as he stood up, he saw the carriage door open. Two servants reached into the carriage door and seemed to be supporting the adults, but after one of them reached out, he was not the person, but a pair of crutches.

"The person who came to Dali Temple was Jin Zhongji!" Seeing the crutch, Fang Bingsheng screamed out because who else could be the one who needed the cripple cane in the court besides the famous "lame Bao Gong" Jin Zhongji?

Sure enough, a young man in a tuxedo was helped out with a crutch. He was strong and had a thick mustache, but he had a very gentle glasses on his nose. He stood on the ground with one foot, took his crutches and held them under his armpits, and looked at the crutches in surprise at the longchuan County Government Office.

At this time, the officer beside him was already yelling at the people in front of the yamen:

"The glorious viscount of the Great Song Empire was awarded the title of Varia, the official of Dali Temple, (Emperor) Zhao Jin. The Lord Zhongji visited Longchuan, and the officials took off their hats and saluted them! The nobles greeted them!"

With this sentence, the Longchuan police officers who were guarding the gun were all straight, with their heads raised and their chests were pounding their guns. The police officers in the door stood in a hurry and stood at the cripple under the carriage, saluting with their right hand over their ears. Even if the onlookers couldn't see the adult, they held their hats in panic, bowed to the carriage, and looked up at the axle of the carriage with their heads.

"After the ceremony!" The officer roared, and the people around him immediately straightened their waists and cheered loudly. They did not call on Liu Guojian and Director Zhang, but shouted: "Official Zhao Jin** is powerful! Official Zhao Jin** is powerful!"

Although a small place like Longchuan, except for the days when the railway was opened, the county town had not joined a few high-ranking officials, let alone aristocrats, Zhao Jinzhongji was also responsible for the tour court in Huizhou for several years. He visited Longchuan several times to investigate cases, but did not examine other cases, and specialized in the trial of life lawsuits and family property lawsuits of large families. It was all because of his public trial of the case as the official. Therefore, he was simply a "god" figure in Huizhou area. No matter how rich or poor, everyone respected them.

Zhao Jin Zhongji is only in his early thirties, such as Bingsheng, who is a few years younger.

He was from Guangxi. During the days when Fang Bingsheng was a candidate, he was thinking about the imperial examination fantasy at the self-recommendation office outside the Governor's Office. One day, he was a teenager, as a special boy scout, who had been guarding the emperor in the wall for two or three years as a special scout.

Back then, the Sun and Moon Army veterans who were dissatisfied with the emperor's ungratefulness, and the night when the Taiping Army Shi Dakai tribe who entered Haisong conspired to rebel, he was at the most dangerous moment, and his unemployed brothers were put on the battlefield of the Governor's Office as the last reserve team by the Hai Emperor, fighting side by side with the guardian army to defend the palace and the court.

During the battle, they were brave enough to fight as future officers, defended the barricades, fought bloody battles with the rebels without retreating.

The rebels transferred a cannon to bombard the barricades and walls. Jin Zhongji, who was participating in the guards of the walls, was sent out. As the "platoon leader", he led the seven children from the platoon of his name and truth to run to the self-recommendation position in the Governor's Mansion, and broke out from here to the outside, detoured to the position of the enemy's artillery, and immediately launched a bayonet charge. Several children rushed into the crowd with blood-stained bayonets and slashed and killed them. They rushed away dozens of adults and seized the dangerous cannon.

Then, he used iron nails to kill the enemy cannon hole while the bullets fly. From receiving the order to completing the task, this ten minutes of battle left four twelve- or thirteen-year-old kids sleeping forever on the road to battle or on the cannon.

Then he was caught off guard and lost his cannon by surprise. The enemy saw that they were just a few children. The angry enemy immediately killed him. The strength of the two sides was extremely different. Jin Zhongji completed the task and naturally turned his head and retreated with his people.

However, the core of these people's organization is either the Sun and Moon Army or the Taiping Army. They are not ordinary mobs. They are blocked on the road to escape back to the barricade a hundred meters away. One of the three was killed and the other was killed by a knife. Jin Zhongji is the oldest and strongest, and has the most intense resistance. A bayonet was killed by him and blood was covered with the gun. However, in the end, he was stabbed in the calf by the enemy's bayonet and then another enemy with a hammer broke his knees with a hammer. While his life was hanging on the line, he was dragged back half-dead by the friendly forces at the barricade to save them.

Although the boy scouts were killed and injured in the "Haijing Riots", they further proved their loyalty and value. After this defense battle, all the boy scouts who were still alive were promoted, and they were also given the best choice for free as the first batch of sea gala soldiers to various countries to study Western learning.

Jin Zhongji, who made great contributions, was awarded "Varrior", which is the transliteration of the English word "warrior". The meaning of warrior is just in line with the "Baturu" of the Qing Dynasty. Moreover, because Emperor Song learned from the lessons of the Qing Dynasty, he was very stingy with the famous title, so each title is extremely scarce and can be bragged for the rest of his life.

Because of his disability, Kim Jong-ki insisted that he would not take the bounty, and his Majesty would not treat his heroes unfairly. He sent four people to serve him overseas. He was sent to Harvard to study mathematics. Three years later, he obtained a degree and was awarded the position of "Knight" qualifier. Then he was ordered to transfer to the law school to study "law". A year later, he returned to China gloriously and was promoted to "baron".

In those days, it was difficult to learn law because there was no place to teach you. In 1860, 21 universities in the United States established law schools, of which 12 were only one year in the school system. In 1876, Harvard College extended the law system to three years, and students must have degrees from other colleges or study at Harvard for three years before they can enter.

So after studying law for a year in this era, you can return to China and call yourself a "jurist"! Absolutely, the same is true for Americans.

Moreover, Jin Zhongji is very lucky. His Majesty cares more about Britain and the United States, and intends to study and wants to establish a constitution in the Song Dynasty. However, Britain does not have a written constitution. It is so powerful that it relies on its long-standing constitutional history and culture. However, the United States has a constitution, which is concise and clear, and is not only very beautiful, but also based on establishing a country with gods. Therefore, Jin Zhongji, as a "mathematician and jurist who returned from American studies", entered Dali Temple (the highest level).

After the court, he had the opportunity to consult the national policy frequently in front of the Holy Lord. He also served as a private teacher of the royal family as the earliest group of Haiyoushi, mainly teaching the mathematics of the royal family. He was originally a loyal boy scout officer. At this moment, he went to and from the palace with his knowledge and was even more admired by His Majesty. He was soon given the surname "Zhao". This is the legitimate godson. The names on the good citizen certificate have become four words: from "Jin Zhongji" to "Zhao Jin Zhongji".

He was also a living benchmark for His Majesty’s generous and loyal veterans, as well as the advertisement of “Shang Yang’s South Gate” by the seawerk. From then on, the people of the Song Dynasty said: Going abroad for imperial examinations is really a dragon gate. Look, a cripple can be the best person.

However, in recent years, he has no longer served as a benchmark, but as the official who practices God's justice, and has emerged as a selfless and honest official incarnation of the people and public opinion.

====================

Kim Jong-ki looked at Director Zhang and the devastated yamen behind him, and walked forward a few steps with his crutches, asking, "Where is Liu Guojian? What's going on?"

"Report to Master! This is the thing!" Director Zhang quickly stood attentively and said the matter. Of course, it was all his one-sided words. It sounded like the yamen had long become a bandit cave, and he was tortured by the sense of justice and the overwhelming public resentment. After facing the bandits in the yamen, he had to copy the yamen after enduring it again and again.

"Yeah." After hearing the general situation, Kim Jong-ki held on the crutch and held his glasses. He did not draw a conclusion, but said: "I came today as the election host. You call Liu Guojian and all the candidates over. We talked in the yamen."

After saying that, he walked a few steps with his cane, as if he suddenly remembered something, and turned his head and said, "Take the imprisoned Wang Yu family here too."

"Wang Yu Family? Yesir!" Director Zhang was stunned for a moment, not knowing why Jin Zhongji even knew about Wang Yu Family.

Half an hour later, in Liu Guojian's office, Jin Zhongji, who was sitting under the window broken by a bullet, stopped Liu Guojian, who knelt down and cried and accused the other party of rebellion, turned his head and asked Director Zhang, "Your matter is not my priority. Since I have the most honorable position here and have the army to maintain order, you are all temporarily suspended and waiting for investigation."

"yesir!" Director Zhang replied neatly. It seemed that he was ready. He took off his hat and handed it to the non-commissioned officer. When he wanted to traffic police guns, he found that there was no gun on his belt. He smiled with a little self-deprecatingly, asked the secretary to take his briefcase, took out his director's police badge and police gun from it and handed over it.

Xi Shengmo, who stood side by side next to him, silently handed over the police badge, police gun and police hat after Yesir.

After taking away Director Zhang, Liu Guojian and Xi Shengmo, Kim Jong-ki called Ou Xingsun, who seemed to be involved in this matter, temporarily ordered him to maintain public order and order. Ou Xingsun almost fainted without being happy.

"In short, the election must be held on time. This is the biggest priority here. I will lead the whole people to pray for the birth of De Son tomorrow." Kim Jung-ki said slowly.

Monday: The bell rings.

After the whole people prayed, the black heads that had just covered the entire Sany Square began to squirm. Everyone stood up and rubbed their sore knees, and looked at the powerful adults, elder Hou, Shenfu and others on the high platform of the square. They talked and laughed and talked to their friends about the incredible events of the past two days. They slowly dissipated in Sany Square like unwilling fog.

Fang Bingsheng led the four Democratic Party members to stand up slowly, his knees were sore and painful. He tried to take a step, and his knees immediately became numb and almost knelt down again. He stopped and bent down and rubbed his knees.

At this time, Zhang Qijie walked over and smiled at the Democratic Party members: "Everyone is here. I don't know if you know, the imperial envoy, Lord Bao Gong, originally had a memorial to criticize the Zhubi. Liu Guojian's memorial to deprive me of Wang Yu's family and I, was rejected by the emperor. The emperor's memorial to criticize me: 'Damn it! You should fight with literature, but don't fight with martial arts!" And there was also an order to suspend Liu Guojian's county magistrate and mayor. It seems that Liu Guojian is in danger. I heard that he really sent an urgent telegram to the court to "rebellion and seek help", which is also a lie about military information."

As he said that, Zhang Qijie and Fang Bingsheng spread his hands and smiled and said, "Look, God is really a living god who distinguishes good and evil and punishes evil! In the future, we will run with you Mr. Fang for more than a month. I hope everyone will be friends and not fight hard. Our gentle and literary battle will be more than a month."

How could Fang Bingsheng not know about these things? Jin Zhongji also encouraged eleven candidates, including Wang Yu's family. From this point of view, Liu Guojian was dead before Jin Zhongji came or the Presbyterian Church, and Longchuantang colluded with police to cause trouble. At this moment, Zhang Qijie just wanted to beat the dog in the water.

If it were yesterday, the defeated dog Fang Bingsheng might turn around and leave.

Yesterday he was frightened because the Democratic Party had been asking who would be the imperial envoy. If ministers related to their interests would always help them, they didn't expect that the person who came was a magistrate. Dali Temple was a department directly under the emperor and had nothing to do with any department. He could not speak to a noble person like Jin Zhongji. What if Liu Guojian fell and he was implicated?

However, Kim Jong-ki didn't care about him. Although he mentioned Fang Bingsheng when he was interviewed with four candidates of the Democratic Party of Longchuan, this means that the court knew what he did, but there were no comments or other orders or warnings.

This made Fang Bingsheng feel relieved and thought to himself: "Long live the emperor! As expected, just care about the officials and the people. That's right, I, as a citizen, do all bad things by officials! Liu Guojian dies! Long live the emperor!"

So at this moment, facing Zhang Qijie's re-provocation, Fang Bingsheng, who had no worries, stood up straight, pointed at Zhang Qijie's nose with a finger, and sneered with a ferocious sneer: "My surname is Zhang, don't be too arrogant! Do you think I'm afraid of you? What I have done these days is just because I'm cautious and want to position my success as foolproof! Now you want to fight with me? Wenfen, I tell you, 99% of it is my winnings! I have experience! Manpower! There is money! How do you group of local bullies fight me? This afternoon, the circus will arrive in Longchuan, and you can also find a circus?"

After saying that, he moved his legs and turned around and left. Shanji and Zhong Erzai and the others quickly followed and took a few steps. Fang Bingsheng seemed to have thought of something. He turned around and turned back, pointed at Zhang Qijie's nose and sneered: "You guys bet on their lives and fight me, and they only received the right to stand on the same starting line as me! And now the race is about to begin! In terms of race, you are just a group of turtles! Win? Win your mother!"

Then he left with a swagger, leaving Zhang Qijie, who was like earth.
Chapter completed!
