When these soldiers who were fooled into being cannon fodder came to the gate of Tongcheng Middle School, the police sent by Jiang Longtan had already blocked the gate of the middle school tightly, some of these policemen were retired soldiers who were slightly injured, some were former government officials who were left after screening, and the leaders were retired officers and locals who passed the civil service examination. ”

"Director, I'm a little scared, aren't you afraid?" , Looking at so many people, a policeman who had been transferred to a government service asked tremblingly, "These are all Wenqu stars in the sky, and they can't be provoked!" ”

"Except for my wife, there is no one I am afraid of!" , Zhou Bofu snorted coldly and said, "What Wenqu Xing, it's just some sour talents who can't get famous, if they only talk and don't do it for a while, we won't care about them, if they dare to do it, I will give them an order, and teach them how to behave!" ”

The school was besieged by sour and rotten literati, and the doors of the various rice shops in Tongcheng were also tightly blocked, and the atmosphere of the whole city became tense.

"Get out of the way, get out of the way!" After a quarrel, the door of their private room was opened with a bang, and Jiang Longtan Shi Shiran walked over, "Brother Zhang is so interested!" ”

"I've seen the prefect!" , Zhang Ruoji was shocked at first, but when he saw Jiang Longtan, he brought a secretary, and the others did not follow up before he relieved his heart and said, Now the Red Flower Society has abolished the kneeling ceremony. He didn't bother to pay a big salute.

Jiang Longtan walked directly to the table and arched his hand, "I hope you are sympathetic to the people of Tongcheng and let these people disperse!" ”

"Well, why did the prefect say this? I don't understand! Zhang Ruoji still pretended to be crazy and stupid, and he was both proud and worried in his heart. The prefect was proud that he had begged for it, but he was worried about how he found himself, and he knew that his gang was the manipulator of today's incident.

"Hey, Brother Zhang!" , Jiang Longtan's tone became more and more sincere, "Now that the people and scholars are gathering more and more, and if we let the situation develop, I'm afraid there will be damage!" Brother Zhang and others are highly respected, if a few come forward. This matter will be settled! ”

Zhang Ruoji used to rely on the name of Tongcheng Zhang's family, and he was disdainful of the local magistrates, and he was a little nervous when the Red Flower Society came, but now that he saw Jiang Longtan like this, he returned to his old high-spirited appearance, drooping his eyelids and playing with the tea lid, and said lightly, "The prefect is overrated." There's nothing we can do about it! ”

"Except for you, I can't think of anyone else in Tongcheng who can suppress today's affairs!". Jiang Longtan said with a pun, "If today's matter can be calmed down, this official will definitely be rewarded." If they are willing to accept it, then it doesn't hurt to give them the few factory places he has in his hand.

Oh? Is this a condition? Zhang Ruoji and the others glanced at each other, and an old man with a clear appearance said. "My lord, the root of this matter is that the imperial court does not open the imperial examination, these people cut off their future before they cause this chaos. Hope for these people will fade! ”

"Oh? We didn't cancel the imperial examination, but just changed their names, they are all scholars, they only need to study for a few months, and they can pass the civil service examination! How can the future be cut off? Zhang Ruoji asked.

"How can statecraft rely on these sideways?" , The old man said sadly, "Besides, passing the civil service exam is just being a small official, these are the seeds of reading for ten years of hard work, how can you be willing to be a Xu official?" ”

What happened to the officials? Labor and management are not still promoted from a small official who manages street sanitation, and now at the beginning of the founding of the country, there are a lot of opportunities, as long as you have the ability, you are afraid that you will not be able to rise, "Oh? According to Mr.'s meaning, this passed the exam to give a little official a low? ”

"Well, it's low!" , The old man nodded, pointed to the scholar below and said, "In my opinion, a few of these people can be a county magistrate at the very least!" ”

"Oh, I wonder what they can do to be a magistrate?" , Jiang Longtan sneered, he wanted to be in charge of the party without any grassroots experience?

"These people are all good at poetry and books!" The old man praised, "If you live in a certain county, the people of a certain county will be healthy." ”

"Hehe, do they know how to build water conservancy, how to open up roads, how to save people from hunger and cold, how to research local resources, how to plan local development? How to set up a factory? Jiang Longtan got up and asked a series of questions, "Just by memorizing a few books and chanting a few sour poems, can you be a magistrate?" Mr. is too underestimated to know the county, right? ”

This series of questions smashed everyone dizzy, is it so hard to know the county? Wouldn't it be nice to leave trivial things to the master, and as long as you befriend the local gentry, wouldn't it be nice to go to the mountains and rivers and recite poems? If it's as hard as he said, then what's the point of this official in front of you?

Everyone's faces suddenly turned cold, and it could be known from Jiang Longtan's tone that he would definitely not agree to his request, Zhang Ruoji said coldly, "In that case, please go back!" ”

"Zhang Ruoji!" , Jiang Longtan slapped the table suddenly, "Do you still think this is in the Qing Dynasty?" Don't think that no one dares to mess with the name of Tongcheng Zhang! ”

"What do you want!" , Zhang Ruoji has been angry like this for decades, and shouted with a stiff neck.

"Since you are obsessed, you will not blame the official for being ruthless!" , Jiang Longtan waved his hand, and more than 20 policemen came in, "Take them all down and bring them back to the bureau for interrogation!" ”

"Yes!" The police chief who led the team immediately led people to pounce viciously, some of the gentry scolded, some threatened, and some begged in a low voice, but these policemen were unmoved, and after a while, all these people were arrested.

When a close confidant of the Zhang family saw that the head of the family was arrested, he gritted his teeth and ran to the middle school gate among the scholars, shouting, "What are you doing so much, rush in and smash this school!" ”

Now it was the time when the blood was on the rise, and at his instigation, the gentlemen immediately poured towards the school gate, and the people in the front row began to punch and kick the police.

"Stop it!" , Zhou Bofu retreated to the back and shouted, and at the same time took out his pistol, slammed it into the sky, and then looked at these scholars coldly, "What do you want to do!" (To be continued......)
