Chapter 183: What's Your Business?
Chapter 183: What's the matter with you?
Fangcheng, Zhao Jiekun's house.
"Mingyi, when you come back this time, you must help us completely drive away Yuan Baoyi's group of thieves, you are not here, the master and we can be bullied by those people miserably!" In the living room, the housekeeper of the Zhao family told a man in his thirties about his grievances with a look of righteous indignation.
Zhao Mingyi, Zhao Jiekun's eldest son, the former captain of the East Road of the Fangcheng Patrol Team, went north to Hunan with Song Xin to prepare for the aid of the revolutionary army more than a month ago. It's just that they have only walked halfway, and there is news that Yuan Shikai wants to negotiate peace, so their team can only turn back in vain.
Of course, Song Xin, the captain of the team, still went to Shanghai to prepare to meet Sun Yat-sen, but did not come back. It was Zhao Mingyi's group that came back before, with a patrol team of about 300 people.
It's just that before they returned to Fangcheng, Zhao Mingyi and others heard the news that Fangcheng had undergone a major change. They were shocked at the time, on the one hand, Zhao Mingyi quickly rushed back with his manpower, and on the other hand, Zhao Mingyi also sent people to the Guangzhou League to ask for help, and finally rushed for a week, and finally came back.
"Uncle Fang, don't worry, what our Zhao family has lost, I will double down on the group of thieves to get it back." Zhao Mingyi nodded hurriedly and comforted the housekeeper, the firm look gave the housekeeper a sense of security, and the housekeeper suddenly felt that he had a backbone.
"Comrades, just now your uncles and uncles have already talked about the various evil deeds of those thieves, I don't want to say more, our revolutionary fruits are absolutely not allowed to be stolen by others, otherwise if it spreads, the comrades in our defense city will only be ridiculed by comrades in other provinces and cities." Zhao Mingyi surrounded the rest of the revolutionaries and victimized landlords sitting upright in the customer hall, and their eyes projected seriousness.
"Of course, when will it be Yuan Shikai's turn to take care of the city." As soon as the words fell, a short-haired young man with a mustache next to Zhao Mingyi echoed loudly.
"Yes, of course, the affairs of our city defense are managed by us city defense people. They are just an outsider, and they actually came to our defense city to show off their might, and they really bullied me to defend the city! The rest of the revolutionaries also echoed indignantly, and for a while, there was an uneven crusade in the living room of the Zhao family, as if there was really a group of wronged people crying out for injustice.
Of course, this is also the case, and these people have been wronged.
Fangcheng is their home, and if they go out and are robbed, they will feel angry. Moreover, this thief stole something and didn't leave quickly, and drove the original owner out of power with great fanfare, casually squeezing the hard-earned money of the people of Fangcheng like his own family.
Land, that is the hard work of the ancestors, and some even exchanged it with blood, just under the words of thieves like Yuan Baoyi, they actually said that the land would be distributed to those peasants. This made Zhao Mingyi and his second generation of landlords feel unprecedented shame.
Most of the leaders who were able to become leaders in the revolutionary ranks were intellectuals of this era. In this era, most of the people who were able to study were relatively wealthy families, and they were basically the second generation of landlords. Yuan Baoyi and they distributed their family's property to outsiders without saying a word, how could they not let these people be aggrieved and angry.
So as soon as they came back, those aggrieved landlords came to the door to complain to Zhao Mingyi about Yuan Baoyi's evil deeds. Of course, the effect is obvious, Zhao Mingyi and they almost wanted to do it directly after listening to it.
"Yo, it's so lively here."
However, just when this group of revolutionaries was indignant and ready to pick up the guy and kill Yuan Baoyi, suddenly, a joke came.
Immediately afterwards, a group of neatly dressed soldiers suddenly poured into the courtyard of the Zhao family, and as soon as the group of soldiers came in, regardless of the Zhao family's eyes, they quickly lined up in two rows. Then under the gaze of Zhao Mingyi and others in the living room, three figures appeared at the door of Zhao's house, two tall and one short.
"Yuan ...... Commander Yuan! ”
The sudden appearance of this situation surprised Zhao Mingyi and others in the living room, but after seeing who the person who walked in, the landlords who came to tell the truth couldn't help but cry out in horror.
"Yuan Baoyi!"
Zhao Mingyi stood up suddenly, and his hateful gaze went straight to Yuan Baoyi, who was coming slowly.
The person who came was Yuan Baoyi and his party, Chen Liqing, and Huo Yuanjia were among them, but to the surprise of Zhao Mingyi and others, Chen Liqing actually walked a little ahead of Yuan Baoyi and Huo Yuanjia at this moment, and was looking at these people with a playful face.
"It's them, they're the ones who made us pay the land and the money, Mingyi, you have to be the master for us!" After the frightened landlords, they finally reacted, and a landlord hurriedly took Zhao Mingyi's hand and asked Zhao Mingyi to call the shots for him.
Chen Liqing glanced at the landlord, and suddenly, the landlord's panicked mouth froze.
"Calling the shots? Master Joe, we don't seem to have done anything to be sorry for you, right? Chen Liqing looked at this Master Qiao lightly, Chen Liqing clearly remembered that he had asked this Master Qiao, who originally controlled the Fangcheng rice shop, to open a seed direct store, which was regarded as bringing new profits to this Master Qiao, but now it seems that people don't appreciate it?
"You, you ......" was looked at by Chen Liqing, and Master Qiao couldn't help but retreat.
"Uncle Joe, don't be afraid, we're here." Zhao Mingyi stepped forward and hurriedly supported Master Qiao, then looked at Yuan Baoyi and said, "Commander Yuan, you came just in time, we just have something we want to ask you." ”
"Uncle Qiao, say, now say it in front of the big guys, tell me the grievances you have suffered, we won't believe it, under the bright future, there can still be a forcible seizure of the city in my defense city!" Zhao Mingyi stared at Yuan Baoyi without fear, and his courage was commendable. Under his reassurance, Master Qiao also quickly took a breath.
"I, I said ......"
Master Qiao naturally didn't dare to look at Chen Liqing and Yuan Baoyi, trembling and trembling how the land was taken away by Yuan Baoyi and them, and how Chen Liqing robbed their property with the support of Yuan Baoyi.
Chen Liqing and Yuan Baoyi did not disturb this Master Qiao's words, but quietly listened to Master Qiao's accusations.
"That's it, that's it, Mingyi, Commander Yuan, he, they said to sell our land, said to do business with us, in fact, they want to take the land in our hands and seize the industry in our hands, even if it is the mine you opened before, now it has been changed into a fertilizer factory under their oppression, Mingyi, you have to be the master for us." With the support of Zhao Mingyi, Master Qiao was still a little overwhelmed at the beginning, but when it came to his own land and profits, he spoke loudly.
"Well, don't worry, uncle, I will get justice for you! Even if I can't get justice for you, Mr. Nakayama will get justice for you. Zhao Mingyi asked Master Qiao to go down, and then looked at Yuan Baoyi and said, "Commander Yuan, you also heard it just now, my uncle said that you forcibly took his land and property, I don't know if you can admit it?" ”
"Admit what?" Yuan Baoyi didn't even interject, and it wasn't until Zhao Mingyi looked over that he glanced at him lightly. 's demeanor was unruly, and he didn't seem to take Zhao Mingyi in his eyes at all.
"Yuan Baoyi, you still don't admit it, Uncle Qiao just pointed out that you robbed him of his land and property, in black and white, there are all human and material evidence, do you still want to deny it?" Yuan Baoyi's attitude immediately angered Zhao Mingyi's group, and as soon as the words fell, a person next to Zhao Mingyi couldn't help but jump out, with an angry look on his face, if he wasn't afraid of the soldiers behind Yuan Baoyi, he would really want to fight.
Zhao Mingyi's face also changed, and he immediately looked at Yuan Baoyi directly: "Commander Yuan, do you know what you're talking about?" ”
"I know." Yuan Baoyi looked at Zhao Mingyi lightly and said, "Is it just your business?" In what capacity do you speak to me? ”
Zhao Mingyi was stunned, Master Qiao was also stunned, everyone looked at Yuan Baoyi in a daze, and they couldn't imagine that Yuan Baoyi would say this kind of thing as soon as he opened his mouth. (To be continued.) )
