Zhao Erfeng finally returned to Chengdu from the riverside, for a long time in the snowy plateau, the old man's body has received irreversible damage, it looks even older than his brother Zhao Erxun, all the way to Chengdu, suddenly the right of way battle is in front of him, the old man also studied this matter on the road.

He also knows some of the problems of the Sichuan Railway Company, but this time the problem is so big, Zhao Erfeng feels that the problem is still in the imperial court, it is the imperial court that is too impatient, and did not carefully consider the demands of the Sichuan people, so it will be like this, now the people of Sichuan are like fire, they can only be carefully appeased, otherwise it will be a disaster, so Lao Zhao is like Pu Dianjun when he arrives in Chengdu, Luo Lun and others promise to try their best to protect the interests of the Sichuan people, and do their best to ask the court to take back the order.

However, Lao Zhao is still an old-fashioned character after all, and he doesn't see the danger of the people being fully mobilized, it is not easy for the masses to mobilize, but it is even more difficult to calm them down, and Pu Dianjun and Luo Lun also want to make things bigger, they have already found an opportunity to seek greater benefits through this, and the alliance in southern Sichuan has straightened its waist since it got the weapon.

Especially Yang Shukan and others, originally they escaped from Yucheng in disgrace, and when they arrived at the territory of Wang Tianjie, Long Jianming and others, they were naturally not welcomed, and they were inevitably cynical, and now Yang Shukan got the firearms, and immediately impressed these alliance members, this is a diagonal equipment, now even if you have how much money you can't get weapons, how many times Sun Wen has revolted, and he can't even get weapons for hundreds of people, now it seems that Yang Shukan's energy is definitely not small, so he also respects this leader.

When the weapons are in hand, the alliance will naturally expand its manpower in a big way, and the elders will have the largest number of gangs in the rivers and lakes, and they will soon be launched, plus some excited people, as well as many young students, the old army, and even the bandits and water bandits, together soon there will be tens of thousands of people, and all the states and counties in southern Sichuan are in an emergency.

Lao Zhao wanted to appease the people, but when he saw this situation, he knew that he was afraid that he couldn't be good, and Duanfang's telegram also came, in which Duanfang reprimanded Lao Zhao's strategy, so that Zhao Erfeng quickly calmed down the chaos, and arrested Pu Dianjun, Luo Lun and others, and the court also sent a telegram, and Prime Minister Prince Qing Yixuan also urged Zhao Erfeng to take action as soon as possible, and he must not be soft on the thieves, the old man was troubled in his heart, and he couldn't make up his mind what to do.

"Lord Governor, look at this!" Zhao Erfeng took a leaflet from his master, wore reading glasses, and looked at it carefully.

"Who sent this?"

"Back to the adult's words, it was sent by Pu Dianjun and others, and now Chengdu is everywhere, and there are many people clamoring for self-preservation?"

Lao Zhao looked at it for a while, and as soon as he let go of his hand, he slid this leaflet to the ground, and there were eight big characters written on the leaflet, resist taxes and protect himself! There are dozens of specific measures below, including local autonomy, rent and tax resistance, and so on.

"They want a revolution, they want to change the old man's life!" Zhao Erfeng coughed while speaking, as if his lungs were about to cough out, and the master hurriedly fed the old man a few pills, and it took Zhao Erfeng a long time to recover.

The Baolu Movement has become more and more popular, and it has developed to the point where it has broken through the idea of peaceful road protection, no longer paying taxes, and protecting itself, isn't this to get out of the control of the Qing Dynasty? This is a rebellion! Zhao Erfeng also gave up the illusion of a peaceful settlement at this time, and the old man turned back into the commander who was dominating the riverside, and hurriedly ordered the arrangement.

"Boss, there is a sentence of humility, please think twice, now Sichuan is boiling, if you always attack Pu Dianjun and others, the public anger alone is enough to make your old man difficult to handle, in case of provoking a civil uprising, you are not a person inside and outside, the court is going to roast you on the fire."

Zhao Erfeng smiled bitterly, shook his head slightly, and sighed again: "I, Zhao Erfeng, have been loyal all my life, and now I have reached such an age, do I still tolerate my surname, the road protection movement was instigated by Pu Dianjun and others, I want to use thunderous means to catch them, and then control the accounts of the Sichuan-Han Railway Company, as long as I get those accounts, I can prove that the blame is on Pu Dianjun and others, and when I deal with them, I can not only appease the people, but also be worthy of the imperial court. Have fun with your family! ”

The master also knew Zhao Erfeng's temper, so he no longer persuaded him, so he had to prepare according to the boss's instructions.

The next day happened to be September 7th, and Zhao Erfeng had already sent invitations to Pu Dianjun, Luo Lun, Zhang Lan and others yesterday, asking them to go to the Governor's Mansion to discuss how to solve the matter of Sichuan and Han Road, and the old governor even said that he would petition the imperial court on behalf of the Sichuan people.

Pu Dianjun and others only regarded victory in sight, Zhao Erfeng had already chosen to compromise, so they all went to the Governor's Mansion for a banquet, but a few people arrived at the Governor's Palace, but they waited for a long time but Zhao Erfeng was gone.

"We've fallen for the old thief! He's a Hongmen feast, a despicable old thief! Zhang Lan began to scold loudly on the side, his eyes were split, but Luo Lun on the side was not so anxious.

"Brother Zhang, don't be impatient, the old thief dares to arrest us, tomorrow the people of Sichuan will be able to tear him apart, the morale of the people is on our side, and the old thief dares to kill our surname!"

At this time, a team of soldiers surrounded all these people, all arrested, and then Zhao Erfeng sent people to control the headquarters of the Sichuan-Han Railway Company, and then ordered the cancellation of the Baolu Comrade Association, just when the old man was preparing to take further action, tens of thousands of Chengdu people who heard the news surrounded the Governor's Mansion together, and shouted loudly under the leadership of the backbone of the Baolu Comrade Association, demanding that Zhao Erfeng release people.

Even under the leadership of some members of the Alliance, they began to storm the Governor's Palace, and stones, bricks, rotten eggs, and rotten vegetable leaves beckoned to the guards of the Governor's Palace, and suddenly the sound of shouts shook the heavens and the earth.

"Governor Zhao, you see, this is the will of the people, this is the will of the people, you have betrayed your relatives and left, so let's let us all go quickly, otherwise there will be no good fruit for you to eat!" Although Zhang Lan was arrested, his momentum was not weak at all, he pointed at Zhao Erfeng and said loudly: "Listen, tens of thousands of people have surrounded your governor's palace, if you have the ability, kill us, for the sake of the people of Sichuan, take righteousness and become benevolent today!" ”

Zhao Erfeng didn't pay attention to Zhang Lan, but set his eyes on Pu Dianjun and others: "Pu Dianjun, who is squandering the hard-earned money of the Sichuan people, you know, I also know, you can rest assured that the old man will definitely bring you moths to justice, thank the world!" After saying that, the old man brushed his sleeves and walked away.

At this time, Zhang Lan's heart was also churning, staring at Pu Dianjun, and said slowly: "President Pu, what do Governor Zhao's words mean, could it be that the shares of the Sichuan-Han Railway have been squandered?" Who did it? ”

Zhang Lan is not a member of the Sichuan-Han Railway Company, unlike Pu Dianjun and others, just a literati who is enthusiastic about the constitutionalism of Mingzhuo, and enjoys a good reputation in Sichuan.

"Brother Zhang, you misunderstood, this is just a discordant plan of the old thief, if you want to break our fighting spirit, don't be fooled!"

Others also opened their mouths to persuade, and Zhang Lan barely stabilized his emotions, but there was a slight pimple in his heart.

Not long after Zhao Erfeng left, gunshots rang out outside, and more than 30 Chengdu people died in front of the Governor's Palace, and the Chengdu Bloody Case broke out!
