Chapter 310 Two into Jiaozhou (3)
Zhou Wenhuai disagreed with the advice of his master. Because in his opinion, overseas Chinese were too bullying. The Wang family caused trouble for no reason, the whole family was destroyed, and the family business accumulated over decades was destroyed. The Wang brothers were also driven out of their homes. It can be said that their family was destroyed and their family was tragic. Under the pressure of overseas Chinese, he forced the Wang brothers to leave Jiaozhou City, which made Zhou Wenhuai feel quite dissatisfied.
Although Zhou Wenhuai is not a clear and clear person, and has done some corruption and abuse of power, he is somewhat conscientious. In the past few years since he took office, the Wang family has been quite tactful. He respects two of the three festivals and one of them every year, and gifts are given to each other. Zhou Zhixian's family also has generous gifts for their weddings and funerals, and he has to pay at least 200 taels of silver every year. Now that the Wang family has fallen, Zhou Zhixian's income is also greatly reduced.
Now, after hiding outside for two months, the Wang brothers returned to Jiaozhou City to settle down. No one wants to leave their hometown. However, overseas Chinese have never been there since they entered Jiaozhou City once. It seems that the news of the storm should have calmed down, so why should they be too troublesome? When overseas Chinese really ask, they pretend that they don’t know, and they can even get stuck in the pond.
Seeing that the magistrate said this, Kong Ye was not good at saying anything, but he was quite worried. After all, he was a person who often went to the grassroots level. In the past two months, he had paid close attention to the news about Wangjiazhai. He knew that this group of overseas Chinese had divided the land and opened up land in Wangjiazhai, and organized some militias in the village and established a village committee. With the powerful forces of overseas Chinese to defeat foreigners, his ambition was probably not just to be a local rich man in Wangjiazhai.
But if this group of overseas Chinese want to rebel, it is not very similar, because if they want to rebel, they must occupy the prefecture and seize the state, and have officials and rewards, just like the Changmao (Taiping Heavenly Kingdom) back then. With the strength of overseas Chinese, it is not difficult to occupy the prefecture and seize the state. But now overseas Chinese have not even occupied Jiaozhou City. They just put down Jiaoao from the foreigners, and were reluctant to be in a Tuzhai village. They really don’t understand what they were planning to rush.
However, Wangjiazhai Village is only more than 20 miles away from Jiaozhou City. It can be said that it is a major concern of Jiaozhou City. Moreover, with the strength of overseas Chinese, it is easy to capture Jiaozhou City. Jiaozhou City has almost no resistance. Therefore, it should be even more cautious and should not give overseas Chinese a justification to invade Jiaozhou City. Now Zhou Zhi County has taken in the Wang brothers, which is actually a good excuse for overseas Chinese to see if they only look at whether overseas Chinese are ready to use it.
However, neither Zhou Wenhuai nor Kong Ye expected that this group of overseas Chinese were really brave enough to do it. In broad daylight, they opened up into Jiaozhou City to commit murder and killed 11 people in one go. Although there were no Wang brothers among the dead, they were caught by them. Is this worthless? They simply don’t take Jiaozhou City or Zhou Zhixian seriously.
However, after Zhou Wenhuai had a temper, he found that he had no choice but to use this group of overseas Chinese. He sent a captain to arrest people. Can he be arrested? At that time, even the captain could not come back. Send troops to wipe out Wangjiazhai. He is a small Jiaozhou city, and there are so many soldiers to fight. Moreover, even foreigners are not opponents of overseas Chinese. With this little army in Jiaozhou city, he would not be opponents of overseas Chinese. Then report to the prefecture to seek help and ask the prefecture or the Shandong Governor's Yamen to send troops to wipe out overseas Chinese? But Shandong Governor Yuan Futai had long sent a message to all parts of Shandong that strictly ordered no conflicts with overseas Chinese. Then report to himself, wouldn't this cause trouble for himself? Therefore, Zhou Wenhuai also regretted that if he had listened to Kong Ye's advice and drove away the Wang brothers, these troubles would not happen.
Today, Zhou Wenhuai recruited county magistrate Li Xingfang, dictionary Liu Yuan, and master Kong Ye to discuss how to deal with the case. Kong Ye suggested to the magistrate that he would send someone to Wangjiazhai Village to contact overseas Chinese, and to explore the verbal words of overseas Chinese. While Zhou Wenhuai was hesitating, the guardian of the city drove the general to the county government to report that the overseas Chinese who came to Jiaozhou City last time came again, and this time he brought the army No. 60 or 70, and he must come to the city to meet Zhou Magistrate. If Zhou Magistrate refused to enter the city, he would enter Jiaozhou City.
After hearing the news from President Bar, Zhou Wenhuai and others were also scared. Unexpectedly, after this group of overseas Chinese washed the royal house, it was endless. They dared to come to Jiaozhou City again in broad daylight. Is it hard to say that overseas Chinese plan to wash Jiaozhou City? And President Bar Bar also said that overseas Chinese don’t want to wait outside the city for too long, so please make a decision as soon as possible.
Zhou Wenhuai and others hurriedly discussed, and they would definitely not be able to stop them. A small Jiaozhou City certainly could not stop overseas Chinese, but if they let overseas Chinese come into the city, who knew what they would do, so several people were a little hesitant.
At this time, Kong Ye said: "Masters, don't hesitate at this time. Please immediately order the overseas Chinese to enter the city."
Zhou Wenhuai frowned and said, "Master Kong, let overseas Chinese enter the city. What if they cause trouble in the city, how can they deal with it?"
Kong Ye said: "Dang Zun, if overseas Chinese attack the city with force, can our Jiaozhou City be defended?"
Zhou Wenhuai shook his head, smiled bitterly, and said, "Of course I can't defend it."
Kong Ye said: "That's it. Since you can't defend it, it's better to open the city gate and let them in. Moreover, according to the following point of view, although the overseas Chinese speak fiercely, they have a proper attitude in their practice. They don't really want to capture Jiaozhou City by force."
Zhou Wenhuai said: "How can I tell this?"
Kong Ye said: "Although overseas Chinese sent people to the city and slaughtered the Wang family, the killings were limited to the people of the Wang family, and did not affect other innocent people. However, when they came to Jiaozhou again, despite threatening with threats, they are still waiting outside the city and not forcibly entering the city. They still let the soldiers go to the city first to report. It can be seen that the other party does not want to do anything. Therefore, according to the following point of view, there is a lot of room for reversal of this matter."
Although Zhou Wenhuai, Li Xingfang, and Liu Yuan’s official positions are not high, it does not mean that they do not understand these human accidents. Therefore, Kong Ye immediately understood this reminder and breathed a sigh of relief. Zhou Wenhuai was very proud: "So sir, overseas Chinese came to Jiaozhou City again this time, and it made a huge noise. What is the so-called thing?"
Kong Ye smiled bitterly and said, "It's hard to guess this. If overseas Chinese enter the city this time, they will definitely be unreasonable, or they want to cheat some money, and they cannot be able to make peace. We can only act according to the opportunity."
Zhou Wenhuai nodded, and he could only do this, so he hurriedly ordered to open the city gate and let overseas Chinese enter the city, and at the same time ordered to be promoted to the second hall to wait for guests.
Not long after, Wang Sheng, Chen Mingyuan, Hong Cheng and Zhang Hao, four soldiers, led by the police, entered the second hall of the county government office, while Yang Rui led the other soldiers to wait outside the county government office.
After the two sides met and the guests and the host and the guests sat down, Zhou Wenhuai asked: "I wonder what happened to Mr. Wang this time he came to Jiaozhou City?"
Wang Sheng was not polite, and said calmly: "Zhou Zhixian County, the last time I entered Jiaozhou City, I reached an agreement with Gui County. Does Zhou Zhixian still remember?"
Zhou Wenhuai nodded and said, "Of course I remember."
Wang Shengdao: "I remember we asked Zhou Zhixian County to arrest the Wang brothers, but when Zhou Zhixian County sent a service to get the people, it was found that the Wang brothers had fled Jiaozhou City. Zhou Zhixian also promised us that as long as the Wang brothers returned to Jiaozhou City, they would immediately arrest them. Is this a matter?"
Zhou Wenhuai also had a little sweat on his forehead. Although Kong Ye said that the other party would not use force, this was a completely unrestrained momentum of attacking the army, which still made him a little nervous. However, these words were indeed what he said at the beginning and could not be denied, so he had to bite the bullet and said, "This is indeed the case."
Wang Sheng's tone was even more severe, saying, "But what Guixian did obviously violated the agreement we reached at the beginning."
Zhou Wenhuai had a sudden slight heart, but he still raised his courage and said, "What do you mean by sir?"
Wang Shengdao: "The Wang brothers returned to Jiaozhou more than ten days ago. Doesn't Zhou Zhixian know?"
Zhou Wenhuai was shocked and said, "Is there anything wrong? The Wang brothers have returned to Jiaozhou City? I don't know at all. If I knew about this, I would definitely order the servants to capture the Wang brothers and never let them go." He turned to Li Xingfang and said, "Mr. Li, have you heard that the Wang brothers have returned to Jiaozhou?"
Li Xingfang also had a confused expression on his face, and his head shook at the drum, saying, "The Lord of the Hall, I really don't know."
Liu Yuan also spread his hands and said, "It's time for the villain to hear about this."
Wang Sheng and others didn't know whether to cry or laugh. They thought in their hearts that they were all at the level of the actors. Compared with them, Brother Tom and Li Ji were simply weak. This group of people didn't act in movies, but they were really a good piece of information. In the old time and space, it was easy to get a little golden man or something.
However, Wang Sheng came here to find fault, so of course he would not let them go easily. He sneered: "Everyone is a Jiaozhou parent official. The Wang brothers returned to Jiaozhou City, just under your nose. Do you even know?"
After hearing this, Zhou Wenhuai and others were a little embarrassed and could not answer.
Kong Ye said on the side: "There are more than 3 households in Jiaozhou city, with a population of more than 25 o'clock, and there are no less than 100 villages around, with hundreds of thousands of people. How can you know all your hair when you are busy every day? Therefore, it is reasonable to have some omissions. It must be that the soldiers guarding the city neglect their duties, greedy for bribery, bully their superiors and subordinates, and privately let the Wang brothers into the city. This matter must be investigated strictly and punished strictly without lending."
