"Hey, Ma Dabao, why are you here?"

"Why can't I be here?"

Behind him, a boy of six or seven years old, because he was afraid of the living, pulled his shirt hard, and looked at the person who greeted Ma Dabao with a little nervousness.

Ma Dabao, who was originally thin and tall, is now obviously rich, after all, he is over fifty years old, and the boy behind him looks very similar to him, his round face is flushed, and he looks cute. It was Qi Niu who greeted him, squatting down and glaring at the boy with his big eyes: "Boy, what's your name?" ”

Because Qi Niu was very strong, the little boy was so frightened that he hurriedly hid behind Ma Dabao, Ma Dabao stopped Qi Niu, and said with some displeasure: "I can't compare to my strength, so I came to scare my son, General Niu, you are really promising!" ”

Qi Niu's eyes suddenly turned red, and he stretched out an arm: "Come to compare!" ”

"I'm old now, but I'm not compared to you, I'm over fifty, and you're only in your forties!" Ma Dabao slapped Qi Niu's hand away with a pu fan and laughed.

It's strange to say, Ma Dabao has been a stuffy man all his life, and he doesn't say anything when he sees the official, but in front of Qi Niu, he is not only calm, but also sarcastic and ridiculous, so that Qi Niu has no way to take him.

Qi Niu, who was dressed in a military uniform, did not have a beard or long hair because he was still an active officer, and still had short hair. The Huaxia Dynasty does not pay much attention to what kind of hair to keep, whether it is to keep the hair bun of the Ming Dynasty in the past, or to keep the board inch according to the regulations of the Huaxia Army, as long as it is not a strange hairstyle that makes people nauseous and vomit such as money rat tail, it is not subject to the interference of the imperial court.

But after enjoying the cool and clean of short hair in the Chinese army, few people are willing to keep their hair up, and what body and hair are shaved by their parents and unfilial piety, has been replaced by filial piety for the first thing.

"This is your kid, I didn't expect your old horse to bloom in an old tree!" Qi Niu had no choice but to take Ma Dabao, so he turned his target to the boy beside him: "The kid Hudun Hudun, but he is solid, but he is a little timid, send me there for a few years?" ”

Qi Niu now has three daughters, but he has not given birth to a son, and he is very greedy for other people's sons, and when he sees the boy, he wants to take it back and raise it for a few days, even Yu Guozhen's youngest son is abducted by him every other day to raise for a few days, and every time he is scolded by Yu Guozhen for being useless.

Although Huaxia allowed three wives, which was also an inevitable choice after years of chaos and war, and a large reduction in young and strong men, Qi Niu only had one wife, and his fear of the inner Huaxia Dynasty was more famous, so he did not take concubines. Among the high-ranking officials of the Huaxia Dynasty, there were many people who were afraid of the inside, and the commanders of the generals and Qi Niu were all like this, let alone others, which made some old literati make up jokes and jokes about the Huaxia Dynasty behind their backs.

Clear-eyed people know that this is the inevitable result of the improvement of the economic status of women in the Chinese Dynasty. Women can make money to support their families without being as dependent on men as they used to.

Ma Dabao didn't know that Qi Niu had this hobby, and said with a smile: "General Niu, you have a murderous aura, he is still young, so he is naturally afraid of you, he is the king of people at home, no one dares to provoke him, horizontally." ”

As the two of them were talking, they saw more and more people in the streets.

"Lao Ma, you are also here to attend this referendum meeting?" Qi Niu turned back to the topic: "Which party recommended you?" ”

"Naturally, it's a railway, I haven't seen it for so many years, don't you know, I'm now the first first-class technician in the Railway Corps." Ma Dabao patted his chest proudly: "In terms of basic salary level alone, it is even higher than you, a two-star general!" ”

"Okay, old horse, I really can't see it!" Qi Niu was stunned for a moment.

To become a first-class technician, it is definitely not easier than standing out from an army of millions to become a general, and Qi Niu knows this very well. The basic salary of all people in the Huaxia Dynasty is set according to their own rank, and a first-class technician is equivalent to a general in the army - of course, in terms of actual income, a general must be far better than a first-class technician, after all, there are various differences in allowances between the two sides.

But when Ma Dabao fled to Shandong, he was just a thin man who was about to starve to death, and he was too old to even want to join the Tiger Guard, they became first-class technicians, not to mention anything else, I don't know how much energy it takes to make up classes in night school.

"However, you brought your little baby here, it's too improper, right?" Qi Niu said again.

"Just take him to see the world, there is a family there, and I will hand it over to my family to play later." Ma Dabao smiled: "Bring this kid into the big court?" I don't want to be on the front page of tomorrow's paper. ”

Qi Niu also laughed, he raised his eyes to look at the building known as the "Great Gong Hall", and took a deep breath.

The "Grand Communal Hall" is a building built in China for the referendum, in which there is a synagogue that can accommodate thousands of people, as well as dozens of small halls, canteens, and shops. It is said that this is also the last design drawings of the high-lived old man Lei, who did not see it built with his own eyes, but his descendant grandson Lei Dafa and Lei Faxuan brothers both arrived as participants in the joint meeting this time.

They were among the crowd.

"Admiral Niu, I heard that this time there will be a referendum on the first assistant...... Your Majesty really doesn't want to be the first assistant? Ma Dabao asked.

Qi Niu smiled and didn't respond, but he had always kept his mouth tight, whether Yu Guozhen really didn't want to be the first assistant this time, he couldn't be sure, but he, the governor of the Qinghai-Tibet Legion, must be mobilized. In the future, all corps and military commanders will also have to be rotated every four years, first, so that officers can be familiar with operations and training in all environments in China, and second, to avoid the emergence of powerful feudal towns in the army.

The two chatted for a long time, and then saw Shi Kefa, who was limping, slowly moving over, Ma Dabao didn't know him, and said with some surprise: "This is from the army, that leg ...... But what's wrong? ”

"That's Shi Kefa Shi Daolin, he came today, I'm afraid he's here to make trouble." There was nothing secret about this matter, so Qi Niu said it.

Shi Kefa slowly moved to the front of the gate of the big hall, twenty meters away from the steps, someone had already marked the white line with lime Shi Kefa opened the line he was carrying on his back, first took out a maza from inside, and then put together a few boards and a piece of cloth to build a tree. He sat on the horse, holding a signboard made of cloth and squinting at his head, feeling that the morning sun was still a little sunny, so he raised an umbrella.

There are words on the signboard and umbrella. The signboard reads, "Huaxia is not Huaxia, neither clothing nor etiquette; The Grand Duke is not the Grand Duke, he is extremely poor and extravagant, and he is full of private favors", and the words on the umbrella are "Grievances for the surname Wan".

"This ...... What is the meaning? Ma Dabao was stunned and asked Qi Niu.

"What do you mean, now Shi Daolin has nothing to do every day, he is carrying a sign to swagger around, he is also cunning, he was arrested twice, and every time he comes out to swagger, he no longer violates the law. If he had crossed the white stop line, he would have been able to arrest him. A young man next to him shook his head and said.

It turned out that after the Ming Dynasty was replaced by Huaxia, Shi Kefa did not return to his hometown to live idle, but moved from Jinling to Shanghai, in his own words, to see the high-rise buildings rise and see the buildings collapse. He lived idlely, and every day he went to the various yamen of the Huaxia Dynasty to make trouble, and after he was arrested, he took out the "Regulations on the Conduct of Citizens" drafted by Yu Guozhen and said that he was a Chinese citizen and had the right to supervise the actions of officials, not only the right to supervise, but also the right to criticize and protest. This made the various government offices helpless, even if the arrest department arrested him twice, he was also unable to step down because of his self-defense. When the matter came to Yu Guozhen's side, Yu Guozhen only approved ten words, "If you can tolerate the world, you can't tolerate a sour Confucian", so he could only let him go. After that, the arrest department also learned to be obedient, and arrested him for illegal acts such as gathering crowds to block the road and disrupting the order of the government office, which are all minor crimes, and the most can be detained for 15 days, and the short ones can only be detained for 3 days. Shi Kefa suffered a few dark losses, and then he became shrewd, just using signboards to express his protest, but he wandered on the edge of the law of the Chinese Dynasty.

The two sides fought wits and cunning, and the young man was sent by the Detective Division to focus on Shi Kefa.

"Haha, you can't do anything about him like this?" Ma Dabao laughed: "Why don't you replace me to clean him up?" ”

"How are you going to clean him up?"

"Of course, go up to the boss and slap him, you law enforcement people, don't break the law, I'm not, I'm just a common man, go up and slap him a few times, what can he say?"

"That's not possible, in that case, we're going to arrest you, pumping people for no reason, it's also picking quarrels and provoking trouble, if you don't hurt anyone, it's three to fifteen days, if you hurt someone, I'm afraid it will take more than half a year."

"Hehe, I'm a counselor of the joint meeting, it seems that some time ago, the ministry issued the "Advisory Law", saying that my status is like this, and I can only be arrested after I am removed from my advisory position......"

Ma Dabao stared at Shi Kefa as he spoke, he was really a little eager to try, the young man was a little stunned when he heard what he said, but Qi Niu grabbed Ma Dabao: "Hugh." ”

"How?"

"That guy is just cheating on the court staff, these people, they don't have other skills, just this, slapped you, and immediately became famous, generally stinky goods, they will jump up and down, what nonsense about being persecuted, the new dynasty is closed to the road of the Lushi people, and the current people are stupid, Shi Kefa is not bad, some time ago, there was not a bullshit name, while there was a sour text that didn't make sense, while shouting that he was oppressed and couldn't speak freely, There are also some stupid people who have been kicked in the brain by a donkey to believe him. ”

It was rare for Qi Niu to say so many words, and Ma Dabao smiled: "It's not that I'm afraid that Your Majesty's reputation will be damaged, so I won't spare such cockroaches." ”

The sound of their conversation was not small, and Shi Kefa heard it in his ears, but he didn't raise his eyes.

In the past few years, he has come out to protest every day, and he has not heard any kind of scolding words. He is different from the guy who Qi Niu mentioned who did not understand the words, and it is said that he used to explain to idlers how to eat Keju mixed rice, and that guy wanted to rely on such a scolding to cheat some people's money, but he Shi Kefa really liked this feeling of protest.

A person against a court, at least at this point, Shi Kefa believes that his existence is valuable - perhaps, Yu Guozhen also feels this, so he can tolerate him. (To be continued)
