"Alas, I have long advised Uncle You'an, telling him not to get involved in that mess, this is not in the village, there is a big and small affair, they are all villagers, and the sloppiness has passed, this is in the people's one-third of an acre. It's a pity that he didn't listen to the persuasion, he had to ask for anything, and said that it was for everyone's good, the water had receded early, and everyone went home. If I had listened to my advice, I wouldn't have ended up like this. ”

"Yes! He also persuaded me to go with him to petition, but I did not go with him, and he was very upset! Now that I think about it, it is fortunate that I did not follow him, otherwise I would have ended up in the same fate as him. ”

"Uncle You'an is a good person, but his temper is too stubborn, and he doesn't listen to persuasion, and he usually believes in the set of monks and Taoists, and the silver spent in the temple every year is more than a dozen taels, but the Buddha still didn't bless him, so the set of monks and Taoists is not at all, the chiefs said that there are no gods and ghosts in the world at all, but they are all made up to deceive people. ”

"You can't say that, gods and ghosts, these things, are also rather believe in their existence, not believe in their nothing, if you want me to say, Brother Wu is also a good intention, in fact, there is nothing to do a ritual, our village has to do 2 or 3 rituals all year round, whether he is spiritual or not! At least it is a meaning, and if it is really useful! Huadong ** does not want to do rituals, even if he wants to punish Brother Wu, this is too ruthless. ”

"What's ruthless? I don't think it's ruthless at all, what we eat, wear, and use now is not given by Huadong **, without Huadong**, how many of us can survive, and the rules in the camp have been set a long time ago, and there have been people in the camp who have been kicked out of the camp before, but You'an also insisted on hitting the knife edge, who can blame it!"

"Yes, whoever serves the bowl will be served, we are in this camp is considered to be doing well, well-fed, well-dressed, and feel our conscience to say, that is, everyone is crowded into one tent, and there is no room of their own, except for this, a few of us have been able to live such a life before, to be honest, this is such a tent, and it is much better than the three broken huts in my family. Even if he has received the favor of others, of course, he has to abide by other people's rules, I saw that Uncle You'an is going to die by himself, and I really can't blame others. ”

"That being said, but Ang Lao is also over 50 years old, and it is always a bit too much to be punished to do coolies. ”

"That's better than being kicked out of the camp, there is still a glimmer of life to do coolies, and besides, three years is not a long time, it will pass all of a sudden, if you are kicked out of the camp, it will only be a dead end. And what about being old, Uncle You'an is relying on his old age and relying on the old to sell the old, so that he has such a result. So age can't be messed around. ”

At this time, three days had passed since the Red Lotus Sect's infiltrators launched a petition to perform the rituals, and after three days of interrogation, the camp basically understood what was to be learned, and all 24 Red Lotus Sect infiltrators were escorted back to Shanghai to serve 15-20 years of hard labor, while the more than 150 victims who were instigated by the Red Lotus Sect's lurkers to participate in the petition had one choice, one was to be expelled from the camp according to the camp's punishment rules, and the other was to be escorted back to Shanghai and punished with three years of hard labor.

This is also the result of Luo Yue and others, the punishment must be there, but they should also be left a way back, so it is the best punishment to send these people to Shanghai for hard labor, so that these people have a way to live, and Shanghai also needs labor, of course, the choice is in the hands of these people, if someone thinks that they can survive after leaving the camp, they can also choose to leave the camp.

In the end, only five people chose to leave the camp and fend for themselves, while all the others chose to be taken to Shanghai to serve hard labor. At the same time, this result was also announced in the camp, and it was emphasized once again that the rules of the camp are not allowed to be picked, and anyone who wants to challenge the rules of the camp will inevitably bear the price.

And after the punishment results were announced, it immediately became the hottest topic in the camp, and this matter was discussed in various camps, and there were different opinions, some said that the Red Lotus Sect was too ruthless, some said that Wu Youan and others were too stupid, and some said that the punishment in the camp was too much, and so on.

At this time, in Wu You'an's camp, he was getting together with the people in the tent, chatting warmly, when he saw a security guard at the door of the tent and said: "Wang Zhong, your nephew has come to see you, come to the gate of the camp to register." ”

The person named Wang Zhong was a middle-aged man of forty-five or sixteen years old, and when he heard the call, he also hurriedly stood up and said, "Here, here." ”

The others also said, "Lao Wang, your nephew has come to see you again." "Lao Wang, your nephew is so good!"

Wang Zhong smiled and said: "That's natural, he was brought up by me since he was a child, and he is no different from my son." ”

As he spoke, Wang Zhong walked out of the tent, and after a short time, Wang Zhong brought in a man about 30 years old, still carrying a paper bag in his hand. This man is Wang Zhong's nephew, named Wang Qiang, because he has come to see Wang Zhong twice, and most of the people in the same tent know each other, so as soon as he came in, he greeted everyone one after another.

Everyone also responded, and someone said, "Wang Qiang, I brought something to eat for your uncle again." ”

Wang Qiang smiled and said: "Everyone has a share, everyone has a share." ”

At this time, Wang Zhong also opened the paper bag, took out small snacks such as cakes and fruits, and distributed them to everyone one by one. Now the camp has a lot of supplies, in addition to the main meal, there are snacks such as cakes and fruits, as long as there is enough work, you can buy it. Wang Qiang is working as a stevedore outside the camp, the income of this job is higher, and Wang Qiang is young and strong, and he does more work than ordinary people, so he earns more work.

And everyone naturally took Wang Qiang's cakes and fruits with a smile and ate them, and they also dispersed.

The uncle and nephew left the tent and came to a quiet place in the camp, and Wang Zhongcai said, "How is it?

Wang Qiang nodded and said, "Yes, I heard that because Luo Yue came to inspect in the past two days, the supervision outside the camp is much stricter than before, and there is not much opportunity to deliver the news." In addition, I found that the two locations used by the Red Lotus Sect to transmit news were all watched by secret whistles, and it seemed that the people of the Red Lotus Sect had already confessed, so I didn't dare to take risks. ”

Wang Zhongdao: "You did the right thing, they just dug up the Red Lotus Sect, and Luo Yue is inspecting the camp again, so the supervision inside and outside the camp will definitely be strengthened in the next few days, so it's right that you don't take the risk of spreading the news, and now there are only two of us left in the camp, so we must be cautious, and after Luo Yue leaves, the supervision will naturally be relaxed, and then there will be a chance to spread the news." ”

Wang Qiang smiled bitterly and said, "But how many days does Luo Yue want to stay in the camp! If it is a normal situation, it may be a few days, but now that such a big thing has happened in the camp, it is normal for Luo Yue to stay in the camp for a few more days, I didn't expect that the time for us to push the Red Lotus Sect to launch a petition this time coincided with Luo Yue, and it would be good if it was a few days earlier and a few days later." ”

Wang Zhongdao: "Don't be too pessimistic, I don't think Luo Yue will stay in the camp for too long, didn't we receive news from outside last time that the Red Lotus Sect was going to send troops to attack Luzhou? As long as the Red Lotus Sect makes a move, Luo Yue will definitely lead the troops to attack and meet the battle, and there will be a chance at that time." And now everyone in the camp thinks that they can sit back and relax by sweeping away the threat of the Red Lotus Sect and sweeping away the threat of the camp, so we can take the opportunity to strike hard and hit East China**. ”

Wang Qiang shook his head and said: "I have also thought about the situation you mentioned, as soon as the Red Lotus Sect sends troops, we will also take action, but the result of pushing the Red Lotus Sect to launch a petition must be reported first, so that the outside world knows the result, so that it is good to prepare for the arrangement, otherwise when the Red Lotus Sect sends troops, and then start to prepare, I am afraid that the time is too rushed, after all, the camp is not so easy to break." And we haven't had news for 4 days, so we must be in a hurry outside, and we will definitely send someone to pick up the news every day. Although our relay point may not have been exposed, but in the case of such strict supervision outside the camp, the people who come to pick up the news are also quite dangerous, once the person who takes the news is caught, then we are all finished, the plan that we have worked so hard to make, so many things that have been done, and there is a 7 or 8 percent chance of success, are all in vain, so now we really can't drag it out any longer, we must spread the news. ”

Wang Zhong thought about it for a while, and finally nodded, and said: "What you said makes sense, if you don't spread the news again, I'm afraid that the outside will not be able to hold your breath and take risks, so you mean, use that method." ”

Wang Qiang said: "Apart from that method, can there be a better way? Although it is a bit risky, it can only be tried." ”

Wang Zhong thought about it seriously again, and finally nodded, and said: "That's right, now it can only be like this, fortunately, the current situation is still in our hands, and victory is in sight, so although it is indeed a bit risky, we must also give it a try." ”

Wang Qiang said: "I don't think it's a big problem, everything is pretty much the same now, the Red Lotus Sect sends troops in the past few days, and as soon as the Red Lotus Sect sends troops, Luo Yue will inevitably lead the army to meet the battle, as soon as Luo Yue leads the army away, the camp is empty, that's our chance, I don't think there is anything wrong with this process." ”

Wang Zhongdao: "Okay, then it's decided like this, and don't hesitate, you act tonight, don't delay any longer, everything must be done carefully." ”

Wang Qiang said: "I understand, you can rest assured." ”
