In November of the eighth year of the Great Song Dynasty Zhenghe, he saw the bottom of his eyes, because of the nonsense of ordinary Taoist priests, Zhao Ji decided to change the yuan, and from then on the name of the year became Chonghe. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

When Cai Jiesheng returned home that day, he saw his daughter Cai Ying running around the tree with a smile, and he was slightly happy in his heart.

In the past, his status as a showman, except for a few acres of thin fields, did not have more income, and it was difficult for his daughter to be able to do it if she wanted a new dress. But this time it was different, he spoke out against the railway, as if he had become the spokesman of the anti-railroad people, and many people in private stuffed him with money, in the words of these people, although they were not as rich as the living god of wealth, but they were enough to make those who dared to speak for them rich and clothed.

Therefore, what Cai Ying is wearing at this time is a new dress.

Cai Ying's brother Cai Zhi has already started reading, holding a volume of Mongolian text in his hand, and he has words in his mouth. Cai Jiesheng was happy again, glanced at the plaque on the door of "Cultivating and Reading the Family", he smiled: "In a few more days, I can buy dozens of acres of land, and then the Cultivation and Reading Family will live up to its name." ”

At this moment, I suddenly heard a noise outside: "Mr. Cai, Mr. Cai?" ”

Cai Jiesheng heard this voice a little unfamiliar, so he didn't rush to open the door, but asked, "Who?" ”

"The student Qiu Guo Qiu Buzhi took the liberty to visit Mr. Cai."

Cai Jiesheng groaned slightly, went to open the door by himself, and saw a fat man dressed as a literati, standing in front of the door accompanied by several companions.

He had heard of Qiu Guo's name, he was a big landowner in a neighboring county, he had read books and gone to school, but he had nothing to learn, and his reputation in the township was not very good. But, like him, this Qiu Guo was also a fierce opponent of the construction of the railway, and they even set up a wooden sign at the entrance of the village with the words "Railway traitors enter the country and kill without mercy", according to those who have seen the wooden sign with their own eyes, the writing is made of cinnabar, so the handwriting is like blood, and it looks extremely scary.

"Mr. Qiu is here, and if you miss the distance, please come in and sit down." Cai Jiesheng beckoned everyone in.

"Just sit down, we came to the door to deliver a letter to my husband." Qiu Guo finished his salute, and then held out a letter in both hands.

"I don't know what the letter is?" Cai Jiesheng asked after taking it.

"It's our neighboring county gentry to discuss it, and the court is asking for a stop to the Beijing-Xu railway, and now it's just a small victory, we must take the hot iron, and ask the official family to make a clear will, otherwise it will ......."

Qiu Guo's mouth was gushing, but Cai Jiesheng wanted to laugh when he heard it, because what this guy said, a lot of it was the content of his articles published in Henan Business Daily, and many of the sentences were simply copied and copied.

"It's a good thing, I don't know who is in charge?" Cai Jiesheng asked deliberately.

"I don't know if Mr. Cai has read the Xiongwen against the construction of the railway in the Henan Business Daily, and he will take the lead, but then he will invite Mr. Kaocheng to preside over this matter." Qiu aisle.

Cai Jiesheng was stunned for a moment at first, and then a thought suddenly came to his heart.

It's coming, it's coming, and the opportunity he's been looking forward to from the beginning has come!

Cai Jiesheng was the first to stand up and openly oppose the railway, in addition to the promotion of the Cai clan and township party behind him, there was another reason, that is, his personal ambition.

This matter is also related to last year's Tai students to the Imperial City Division, Kaocheng is close to Beijing, and the news has also spread to Kaocheng Township, Cai Jiesheng After hearing about it, he was envious of Chen Dongji. The other party became famous in one fell swoop, and the world knew about it, even if he left Jingshi later, he would inevitably be of great use in the future.

These scholars, there are always those who can't pass the imperial examination, so they have to find a way to "stand out", be able to win fame through some outrageous behaviors, and accumulate capital for themselves to be appointed as officials. Cai Jiesheng has this plan, and comes forward to oppose the railway, whether it succeeds or not, he will personally accumulate huge prestige. And the Cai clan is also willing to push him when the time comes, so that he can enter the official career and realize his life's ambitions.

And now, it's his chance to come to the forefront.

"I don't know how Mr. asks for the city to be angry?" Cai Jiesheng asked again.

"This matter is easy to hear, Henan Business Daily must have the contact information of the city not angry, and it will be ...... when it arrives."

As Qiu Guo was talking, Cai Jiesheng suddenly had a different color on his face, and when he looked back, he saw a team of people coming over, about twenty people.

There are few outsiders in this small estuary village, this group of people appeared a little abruptly, and their dress, Cai Jiesheng saw it very familiarly, it was the general decoration of those who surveyed the railway that day!

And as if afraid that others would not know, behind their clothes, there are also embroidered with the words "Beijing-Xu Railway".

They were here discussing the matter of blocking the railway, and the man who built the railway came to the door, which was a kind of irony.

Cai Jiesheng glanced at Qiu Guo suspiciously, Qiu Guo's expression was also ugly, and he strode over to those people: "What are you doing here?" ”

"The road is facing the sky, each going on one side, what are we doing here, we have to be in charge of you?" One of the black-faced men on the other side snorted.

"This ......" Qiu Guo was speechless for a moment.

"I'm from my hometown, so when I see a stranger with a suspicious appearance, I should naturally ask." Cai Jiesheng also stepped forward with a tiger face.

There are more than 20 of these people, and he is not afraid at all, after all, they are in his own village, as long as they shout, dozens of people will shout out casually.

The man looked him up and down, then sneered, "Suspicious? You look like a scholar, you can't even read the handwriting on our bodies, we're here to build a railway! ”

Cai Jiesheng didn't say a word, turned around and shouted to his yard: "Close the door, ring the gong, the road thief is coming." ”

Suddenly, the door of Cai's house was closed, and immediately after, a rapid gong sounded in the courtyard. With the sound of the gong, every household in the village went out to watch, and after a while, dozens of people were gathered.

There is a puffer, who beat Zhan Tianzuo last time and waited for the benefits, at this time, when he saw that he was coming to build the railway, where could he endure it, he came up and shouted: "Road thief...... Yes! ”

He reached out to catch the so-called road thief, then stabbed a sudden stick in the waist and fell to the ground with a thud.

But one of these self-proclaimed road builders pulled out a stick from their bag in the cart: "I was beaten last time, thinking we weren't ready?" ”

"Hit them, beat them, grandma's, it hurts me to death!"

The splash howled on the ground, and he screamed twice, but no one moved, and he rolled his eyes, and cried out again, "Grab their carts, rob their bags, and the ...... of the livestock."

This voice made everyone move.

Indeed, this group of outsiders has good things on them, and the last batch of them was robbed of more than 100 silver yuan, which made the men in the village drink wine, eat meat, brag and gamble for a few days, this time there are many people, and there are cars and horses, and they must have gained a lot!

Everyone rushed up, but the people who came back were all strong men, and they were all prepared, and in a blink of an eye, a long stick danced in front of the villagers, and more than 20 of them actually marched in formation, directly beating the villagers to the desert.

Although these people are measured, they do not hit the head, do not hit the waist, and only hit the arms and feet. But when a stick goes down, it is rare to crack the bones, and the action is fast and relentless, and in the blink of an eye, a large number of people are overturned. When the villagers came out, they carried at most two sticks, and although some of them were skilled, they fought separately and were not vulnerable at all.

In the blink of an eye, a large area was cleared out in front of Cai Jiesheng's house, and those villagers hid in their homes and began to look for various weapons.

Although there are also knives and guns, but if they want to use these weapons to fight the strongmen outside, the villagers can't help but hesitate, and even if some of them rush back, they will be knocked over by the sticks.

The situation was quickly brought under control.

Cai Jiesheng was also terrified at this time, because he saw that the leader of these outsiders strode towards him.

"Knock the door open." The leader shouted.

Six or seven strong men rushed over and directly slammed open the courtyard door of the Cai family. Cai Jiesheng stepped forward to stop him, but he didn't dare, he looked at Qiu Guo, Qiu Guo had a few companions by his side, but at this time he shrank to the side and didn't dare to speak at all.

There was a cry from inside Cai's house, and Cai Jie shouted "I fought with you", but the others ran backwards, only to be caught by two men, one left and one right.

"You're just not angry about Kaocheng, aren't you?" The man led by him came to him and grinned: "Fortunately, Ling Lang and Ling Ai are very cute, it really makes people happy at first sight......

Cai Jiesheng shuddered.

I don't know if it's for my children or for what I might face.

"I don't say much, originally, you said some in the newspaper, no one cares about you in general, but if you beat Master Zhan, this matter is a big deal, you know, in our place, the status of Master Craftsman is high, and there are only five railway master craftsmen in total, and you dare to beat Mr. Zhan, who is most likely to be promoted to master craftsman, and break his bones...... One of his bones is worth the bones of a hundred and ten of you. ”

Cai Jiesheng stammered: "I...... Not me...... I didn't hit it! ”

"Naturally, it's not you who do it yourself, you see, this time we came, it's not Mr. Zhan who does it himself, right...... Hey, I said you guys, move smarter, get the cart in, and the howlers next to you, shut them up! ”

The man at the head scolded, and his companion drove the cart into Cai's house, and the way to silence a few villagers who had been knocked to the ground was, of course, to break their two bones.

"Alright, call it a day, leave!" Seeing that the matter was over, the man led by him gave an order to his subordinates, and then turned back and smiled at Cai Jiesheng: "Kaocheng is not angry, this time it depends on whether you are angry or not, by the way, we may have to be closer and closer in the future, I hope we don't meet in this way again, otherwise I will come again next time, and it is difficult to say whether Ling Lang Lingai can still be so cute." ”

This is Cai Jiesheng's faintly threatening words in the newspaper, Cai Jiesheng was so frightened that he couldn't say a word, and only after these people walked away, he came back to his senses, jumped to his feet and shouted: "It's the other way around, is there still a royal law?"
