Zhu shopkeeper is a broker, relying on speculation to drill the camp, in recent years made a small fortune, since Zhang Jingyao became the governor of Xiang, other merchants have been difficult to close down, but he climbed Lu Daya this backer, hard to give gifts, not only did not go out of business, but also quite proud, so he always laughed at those "fool" businessmen, "only know the business of doing goods, do not know the business of people, robbed and sealed, bankrupt, who is to blame?" ”

On this day, he came out of Lu Daya's mansion, and he felt proud again, Lu Daya wanted to be named "president", "secretary general" and other officials, and he pushed them all out.

In front, there was a narrow alley, and there were several ragged men named Hanako, who were noisily gathered together, as if they were fighting, and he frowned, and was about to go around the beggar, when he suddenly found a bald beggar holding a porcelain vase in his hand.

The vase was dirty, pale blue in color, with patterns painted on it, covered with mud, and it was impossible to see what it was, but the soft shimmer on the belly of the bottleneck bottle was pleasing to the eye, and several beggars argued: "Why do you want to monopolize it yourself, this is what everyone can see." "Exchange it for a few flatbreads, and everyone will share them."

Shopkeeper Zhu is a well-informed person, and he can see at a glance that this bottle is an old product, and when he heard that the beggars were going to take it to "exchange it for bread to eat", he was moved, he stopped and said, "Everyone, show me this bottle, okay?" ”

A bald beggar held the bottle in his arms and shook his head repeatedly, "This is mine, no one will give it, I will sell it for three oceans." ”

"I'll give you three oceans." Shopkeeper Zhu reached out to take the porcelain vase in the bald man's hand, and the bald man hurriedly said, "Be careful, there is something in the bottle." ”

Something in the bottle? Shopkeeper Zhu took the vase in his hand, looked into the bottle, the bottle mouth was narrow, the inside was black, he couldn't see clearly, he smelled a smell of soju, and it came out of it.

The shopkeeper Zhu shook the bottle, and heard the sound of liquid inside, he estimated that the beggar poured the soju into it, and when the bottle was shaken, the smell of wine became stronger, and suddenly, he felt a little dizzy, and the bald beggar in front of him shook his figure.

"Not good," he exclaimed in his heart, knowing that he had fallen for the trick of these beggars, he hurriedly pulled his legs and wanted to run, but his body shook, he almost fell, and was held by the bald beggar, and he cried out: "Come on, there are robbers." ”

At the mouth of the alley, Shi Suo and Dafeng were looking over here, and saw that after the shopkeeper Zhu smelled the "medicinal wine", he did not faint immediately, a little strange, Shi Suo said: "The ecstasy medicinal wine that Li Mei taught me to prepare is not very good." Dafeng said, "Is it wrong with your preparation method?" ”

Hearing the shout of the shopkeeper Zhu, the two of them hurriedly ran over, at this time, several beggars had already covered the mouth of the shopkeeper Zhu, Shi Suo and Dafeng ran over in a few steps, plugged the mouth of the shopkeeper Zhu with rags, blindfolded with a black cloth, tied the body, at the same time, from the other side of the alley, the little clever pulled a firewood and straw cart to run over, everyone was in all hands, and stuffed the shopkeeper Zhu into the firewood and straw cart.

Shi Suo pushed up the firewood and straw cart and looked around, fortunately there were few pedestrians and did not attract attention, he and Dafeng together, pushed the cart quickly out of the alley, turned a few corners, and came to a remote ruined temple.

The ruined temple was deserted, and it looked eerie behind a low bungalow in the corner of the city, adjacent to two tombs. Half of the mountain gate of the broken temple collapsed, and it was blocked by the wild grass, Shi Suo and Dafeng saw that there was no one outside, pulled the Zhu shopkeeper out of the car, carried it on his shoulder, and walked into the temple.

The scene in the temple is even more dilapidated, the barren grass on the ground is half a person high, the doors and windows of the main hall are gone, the cobwebs are dusty, everywhere, enter the main hall, a Buddha statue is still standing upside down, the dust on the body is thick with copper coins, it is no longer possible to see its original face, on the ground, there is a thick layer of hay, and several beggars are throwing aside broken bowls, pockets, and begging sticks for begging.

Shopkeeper Zhu did not faint, his hands and feet moved, Shi Suo put him on the "straw shop", took out the rags stuffed into his mouth, and the shopkeeper Zhu opened his mouth and said, "Who are you?" ”

Duan Laosan said beside him: "Jade Emperor." ”

Shopkeeper Zhu stopped talking, he couldn't see anything, sniffed with his nose, and smelled a musty and sour smell, he couldn't guess what place this was, but he could judge that this "Jade Emperor" should be a robber kidnapper or something, and the purpose of kidnapping himself was nothing more than extortion of money.

Shi Suo patted him on the shoulder, "Sir, I ask you a few things. ”

The shopkeeper Zhu didn't squeak, and continued to sniff with his nose, and He Yuan, who was disguised as a beggar next to him, saw it, lit a pot of dry tobacco, and approached the nostrils of the shopkeeper Zhu.

Shi Suo continued: "What are you doing in the Lu Mansion? ”

Shopkeeper Zhu is a little strange, the robber doesn't ask about money, he asks what he is doing? He didn't squeak. Seeing that he didn't speak, He Yuan said to Duan Laosan: "Give him some of the 'broken intestine wine' we matched." ”

When the shopkeeper Zhu heard this, he was startled, although he didn't know what this "broken intestine wine" was, but it was estimated that it must not taste good, he was originally a person who saw the wind and turned the rudder, and hurriedly said: "Don't don't, the king, I said, I said, General Lu asked us to organize a citizens' association, and we were found by him to act as a representative of the citizens' association." ”

"What will a citizen be?" He Yuan asked, smoking a cigarette.

General Lu said, this is what Zhang Dujun meant, now there are many dissidents in the province, what trade union peasant association chamber of commerce, and the provincial government, there are more and more mobs, just by catching can not be caught, so under the guidance of the master, General Lu came forward, set up a citizens' association, elected representatives of various industries, according to the appearance of their trade union and peasant association, set up a non-governmental organization, the name is called the citizens' association, by the overseer's government to take money as funds, and the trade union peasant union Chamber of Commerce student union confrontation, with non-governmental organizations to deal with non-governmental organizations, more advantageous, Also avoid always being truthful. General Lu...... Big Tooth means, the citizens will have the support of the Overseer's Palace, can't they fight the poor union peasant unions? ”

"What position do you hold in the civic council?"

"I didn't do anything," Shopkeeper Zhu said here, admiring his wisdom even more, "Wang, I'm just a small role, I have neither money nor power, I usually do a small business, and this time I was found by them, and I was really forced to do it." ”

"You honestly state who the citizens are, when the meeting will be held, what system will be set, and what actions will be taken in the future. If you can't say it, please drink some gut-breaking wine. He Yuan said unhurriedly.

"Yes, yes, I'll say it well."

Just after interrogating the shopkeeper Zhu, Shi Suo and Dafeng received another task to be "bodyguards" for newspaper sellers.

Dafeng didn't quite understand, "What kind of bodyguards do you use to sell newspapers?" Shi Suo pretended to be an expert and explained: "You don't understand this, the newspaper is run by our people, and it is those masters who are full of ink, and the articles they write, those masters, when they preached on the Aiwan Pavilion, I also went to listen to it, and it was so good that those of us who are illiterate feel that the head is the Tao." ”

"Really?" Dafeng said enviously.

He Yuan said: "Recently, some people in the cultural circles with keen insights have set up a newspaper called 'Current Affairs Commentary', which is dedicated to explaining the truth to the common people, criticizing the perverse practices of warlords such as Zhang Jingyao, and encouraging them to fight for freedom and rights. ”

"That's great." Dafeng shouted.

"However, warlords like Zhang Jingyao are not allowed to put such a newspaper on the market, they are afraid that the common people will see it, so they will intercept it everywhere, and if they see anyone selling this newspaper, they will arrest it, and our task is to cover these newspaper sellers, sell the newspaper safely, and then move them out of the city safely, so that the people of the Overseer Mansion will not be caught."

"No problem," Stone Lock rubbed his hands.

Walking through an intersection, the little wit was standing at the intersection begging for food, nodded to He Yuan and the others, pointed into the street, and looked in the direction of his finger, but the person selling newspapers on the street was Hu Shu, he was wearing a felt hat, a scarf covering half of his face, wearing a long shirt, introducing newspapers to pedestrians on the street.

Walking to a lively square, is the stone lock and Dafeng's sentry post, He Yuan said: "There is a large flow of people here, it is a good place to sell newspapers, but it is also a place where the military and police pay attention to, you must guard closely, meet the military people, quickly call the police, if you encounter danger, you must cover the retreat of the people inside." ”

In the square, two young students were selling newspapers, each carrying a large cloth bag. In Changsha City, Zhang Jingyao ruled a depression, the original bustling square, now there is no prosperity in the past, and then add the season into winter, it is even more cold, the two young people sold for a long time, and the effect is not good.

"They're not doing it right." Dafeng shook his head.

"What other methods do you use to sell newspapers?" Stone Lock asked.

"You watch." Dafeng said, walked a few steps, reached the middle of the square, and said to the two students who sold newspapers, "You cooperate with me." He stood on the field and said loudly to the surroundings: "Ladies and gentlemen, big brothers and sisters, I will perform a boxing here, don't need money, show it to everyone in vain, mix a popularity, I hope you will hold a personal field, I Cui Dafeng is polite." ”

The people in the square, seeing a young girl with a sturdy figure, sold her art on the field, the girl was articulate, strong and beautiful, standing on the field with her chest and back, full of spirit, and curious, after a while, she attracted a lot of people.

Dafeng said to the two students, "Hurry up and sell the newspaper." ”

The two students suddenly realized that they hurriedly took advantage of the crowd to sell the newspaper, and after a while, many copies were sold. Next to her, Dafeng raised her arms, put on a posture, and punched all the way, she punched cleanly and neatly, her body image was undulating, jumping and jumping, without dragging mud and water, and there were few fancy shelves, but it was real, a punch and a leg, all tiger and tiger. Someone next to him kept applauding, "Okay, it's really kung fu." "Good boxing is not a fist embroidered leg."

Someone took out the change and wanted to give it to Dafeng, and Dafeng gave it away, "Big brothers and sisters, I don't want money, if you are willing to support the party, please buy two newspapers, even if it is a favor to me." ”

The two young men were selling newspapers, and Dafeng was boxing beside them, and after a while, the newspapers were about to sell out.

The stone lock that was sentry in the distance suddenly raised his right hand, Dafeng punched while watching, he had already seen it and shouted: "Everyone run, the soldiers are coming." At the same time, he said to the two students, "Come with me." ”

At this time, a large number of people had gathered in the square, and as soon as they heard that the soldiers were coming, they immediately scattered and fled, and Dafeng took two students, mixed in the crowd, and ran to a small alley. At this time, at the corner of the street in the distance, the shadow of the cavalry has been seen, these cavalry teams are Zhang Jingyao's personal soldiers and broadsword team, on weekdays, they are powerful and powerful, oppress the people, and often act as vanguards.
