Chapter 84: In the Name of Public Will (2)

"Rolling the Yangtze River East Passing Water, Waves Sweeping Away Heroes", this is the famous sentence of Yang Shen, a famous minister and "Southwest Sage" during the Song Dynasty, and it is also Ai Fan's favorite poem.

Since the popularity of the Three Kingdoms, this poem has added a bit of historical profundity to the original work. And at this moment, Ai Fan's mood is also the same as the Yangtze River rolling east, churning endlessly.

To oppose Fei Jianren and use his industry is not a thing that can be done by talking. Putting aside how much benefit Ai Fan himself received from the Fei family during the New Year's holidays, in the fourth-level councils at the county, government, and road levels, how many councilors are the Fei family's own family, how many are his allies, and how many are his lackeys, this is not clear.

Although Cheng Qi and the others drew a big pie, Ai Fan knew that this was actually a chestnut in the fire, and if he was not careful, he would lose the whole game!

And...... It's been a hard year. The so-called action committee is really a bunch of crazy people, and they don't take two days off for the Chinese New Year, and they don't know where to find a printing workshop, and they carved a lot of leaflets, and sent the little children to distribute them along the street—from the first to the third day of the new year, how lively the streets are, all of them are visiting the New Year, and handing out leaflets is worth several days a day.

The leaflets are all written in the gods, all of them are instigating the people of the whole city to hear about the news, compiling all kinds of gossip jokes of the Fei Group, not to mention, there are also capable people in the action committee, a Cheng Qi plus a Huang Yang, they are all famous for their good writing, Cheng Qi wrote martial arts novels well-known in the Central Plains, and the jokes he adapted are all stories of the rivers and lakes, what is the old man Fei is a mountain carving, and the green forest heroes who hooked up the eighteen villages of Jiujiang established a big river league, and then there was a good man named Wang Dong, It is said that it is the successor of Mr. Wang Yangming of Yuyao, who fought wits and courage with the Dajiang League......

Huang Yang's guy is even more amazing, he is short, all of his writings are short, and none of them are more than 5,000 words. It's all absurd novels, in his pen, Master Fei seems to be a thousand-year-old spider spirit sitting in the Pansi Cave, those factories and mines are the dining table where he eats people and doesn't spit out bones, whether it is a man or a woman, as long as he enters Master Fei's field, it is all a dead end.

But don't say it, one takes the horror route, the other takes popular literature, and the reputation of Master Fei is already about to stink in Shouzhou, and with the train, these stories have also been collected into a book, and they are poisonous all over the world - Ai Fan certainly doesn't know that it is indispensable to complete a series of work of collection, engraving, printing, binding, and distribution in this short period of time, of course, with the help of a certain magazine editor-in-chief.

Now, as the fifteenth day of the first lunar month is approaching, Ai Fan's brows are getting deeper and deeper day by day.

As mentioned above, Fei Jianren went north to Bianjing in November to attend the fourth-level national conference. According to the usual practice, the fourth-level meeting was held at the end of November, and the meeting was adjourned for a period of time around the 23rd and 4th of the lunar month, and from the adjournment to the 30th day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, it was an excellent time for the delegates to visit each other and show their long-sleeved dancing, during this time, the courtyard of the princes and nobles in Bianjing could be described as full of traffic and crowds, and various grand banquets continued until the Chinese New Year's Eve.

After a day off for the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, from the beginning of the new year, the emperor would receive the New Year greetings from the Manchu civil and military ministers and the representatives of the people's will, and then give a banquet and hold cordial conversations with the delegates.

This kind of activity will continue until the third day of the first lunar month. After two more days of rest, starting from the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, the four-level meeting will resume to vote on major issues on which various views have been fully exchanged openly and covertly before. Only when all matters have been voted on can the delegates return to their respective constituencies, and the plenary sessions of the four levels of parliament are formally closed, leaving the operation of the congress to the Standing Committee and special committees composed of special representatives of standing and non-standing members.

Now, Master Fei is busy with his dog-headed military advisors in Bianliang, and he has heard a little about what happened in Shouzhou, even if he hears some rumors, he probably has no time to scruple.

Ai Fan was carrying a pen, and when all kinds of storms and waves gathered in his mind, a legal official hurriedly pushed the door in: "Tuiguan, someone has sent a complaint, and the previous official has instructions for you to review." ”

"Oh?" Ai Fan is the chief, and the other magistrates of general cases have handled it by themselves, and he has to give instructions in person...... Nothing good.

The lawyer handed over the complaint, Ai Fan took it and looked at it, and looked up at the small italicized words "Shouzhou Prefecture Workers and Peasants Unified Action Committee" made him suddenly uncomfortable.

"Find me something to do again." Ai Fan muttered, but still pulled out the complaint, the plaintiff in the lawsuit is called Xin Laonan, a rural teacher - not the kind of teacher in the yamen who has a formal establishment and receives a salary from the instructor, is a literate person who farms when he is busy, and teaches children to read two books of "Kong Yiji and Shangda" when he is free - he may not even be a reader, let alone the Five Classics, and he may not even read the four books, at most he has read the "Three Character Classic" and learned a "Hundred Family Names", and can write a family letter for others, It's an auspicious day for the zodiac.

Xin Laonan lost his wife as a young man, and only had two daughters under his knees, the eldest daughter was called Ailian, who went to the city to find a job when she was just sixteen years old before last, and was introduced to Master Fei's house to be a maid, but the year before last, she accompanied an aunt and wife of the Fei family to the upper spring of Bagong Mountain outside the city, and when she came back, she said that she was walking outside at night, fell into the mountain stream and fell to her death - and it was the kind that could not be found.

This matter hit Xin Laonan very hard, and since then he has become a little chattering, relying only on his youngest daughter Yinglian to rely on each other. In the blink of an eye, Yinglian was also sixteen years old, and according to the customs of the countryside, it was time to find a job. It was the third day of the Lunar New Year, and she came into the city to try her luck, who would have thought that she happened to meet a child handing out flyers.

Yinglian also read some words with her father, and generally knew that someone was collecting all kinds of scandals about Master Fei, and thinking of her unknown sister, she went to the "Unified Action Committee", and happened to meet Li Xi who was brushing his teeth with a pig's bristle toothbrush at the door.

As soon as Li Xi heard about the family's situation, he immediately realized the mystery of this, and wrote a grievance complaint with a brush, accusing the Fei family of taking care of people's lives.

Ai Fan read the complaint here, and his head exploded with a "Weng", thinking: "What's wrong with this world?" Not even a bully? Don't ask, it must be to see that little girl's handsomeness, and she has a bad heart, and then ...... Hey, it's just a human life, it's a human life. ”

If it were an ordinary person, he would directly issue an arrest document and order the relevant people to be detained, so as to ask who was the mastermind, who was the accomplice, who instigated and who carried it out, and it was easy to convict them one by one according to the law. It's just that this matter is related to the Fei family...... Ai Fan is a bit of a mouse-thrower.

What if Fei Jianren did it himself?

Do you want to detain Master Fei - that can't be done, he is a member of the fourth-level council and enjoys judicial immunity, unless the fourth-level council takes him as a member, the magistrate can't move him.

But if you don't move...... Ai Fan knew how bad the bad boys in the action committee outside were, and they didn't make any movement before sunset today, and they were able to weave themselves into the story.

After being distressed for a moment, Ai Fan decided: "Bring the complainant first, this official has some things to ask and understand." ”

The priest temporarily withdrew the order, Ai Fan turned out of the back room to change into the official uniform of the deer, looked at the majestic deerly beast in the mirror, he sighed secretly in his heart, took the crown on, walked out of the lobby, sat behind the public case, and patted the shocking wood: "Bring the complainant!" ”
