The news He Hanlin said made this group of landlords and gentry in Nanqiao Town feel like mourning, and the ancestral ancestral hall let the group of soldiers live in? Doesn't this disturb the rest of our ancestors? This is a great unfilial piety! But what if you don't lend it out? Can you fight with your bare hands against that group of unreasonable soldiers with guns? Isn't this looking for death?

None of the gentlemen in the hall spoke for a while, not because they didn't want to speak, but because they didn't have any good ideas. Some just sigh incessantly.

After a long time, He Hanlin said loudly: "Everyone, it's useless for us to sigh, the key is to come up with a way!" ”

When everyone heard this, one of the gentry pouted and said, "Who wouldn't say this?" It's not that we don't want to find a way, but there is no way at all, could it be that if we close the door of the ancestral hall, the group of soldiers will not be able to enter? What if they slam the door? And if they are angered by this, they break into the houses and plunder and commit adultery? What to do when you are lewd? Don't forget that they're unreasonable soldiers, hey! Is this kind of thing still rare these days? You all have a lot of wives and concubines in your family, right? ”

As soon as these words were said, the gentlemen present suddenly turned red one by one, it doesn't matter if they are robbed of money and things, but if they are brought a green hat to themselves by those who are soldiers, they will be thrown to grandma's house!

These gentlemen are completely scaring themselves, Xiao Zhenlei and his guard platoon have done nothing, and so far they have only borrowed the town office. In Xiao Zhenlei's opinion, the town office usually has nothing to deal with. If the mayor of the town and some of the clerks in the office want to work, they can go home and handle it. It shouldn't be a big deal to borrow the town office to make shelter for the brothers, anyway, these landlords and gentry are not good birds, let them suffer a little loss, and giving them some color to see is equivalent to a breath of relief for those common people in disguise.

At this time, Liu Wancai said loudly: "We can't let them do this, we can't let them be soldiers, let's let them everywhere and treat them as masters, right?" Is there no royal law in this world? Is there no one who can cure them? ”

Another gentleman patted his thigh and said, "Yes, we can't do anything about them, someone can cure them." I don't think it's better for us to jointly file a complaint with the prefect's yamen, I don't believe that I can't cure the person surnamed Xiao! ”

When everyone heard this, several gentlemen nodded in agreement, and others naturally did not object when they saw this, so the gentlemen unified their thoughts and decided to send someone to Suzhou City early tomorrow morning to see the prefect to complain, as for Xiao Zhenlei to borrow the town office and various ancestral halls to make temporary accommodation for the soldiers, they could not stop it, and they could only order the women and children in the family to try not to show their faces when the time came. So as not to be seen by those Qiu Ba and see the color.

Early in the morning, Xiao Zhenlei got up early in the morning, and he and Opiyin drove to Suzhou City, accompanied by the orderly pony and a dozen soldiers. They were riding war horses, which they had bought yesterday in the city of Suzhou. Xiao Zhenlei went to Suzhou City to send a telegram to Zhenhua Company at the telegraph company opened by foreigners in Suzhou, although radio transmission had begun to show his skills a few years ago. However, at this time, China basically still used cable telegraphs, for example, the Dabei Telegraph Company opened by the Danes in Shanghai was the first to lay submarine cables from Nagasaki, Japan to Shanghai Tang. As a result, cable telegraphs were introduced to China's foreign telegraph companies, and since then, Britain and the United States have also launched telegraph services in China.

For the current Xiao Zhenlei. Wired transmitter is too troublesome, he is already thinking about putting the wireless transmitter on the agenda, the wireless transmitter is not very complicated, in the last life his mercenary group used the wireless transmitter to contact, the transmitter is still assembled by itself, but the radio wave distance that the low-power transmitter can transmit is very short, if you want to carry out ultra-long-distance transmission, you must build a transmitter and increase the power of the transmitter, which is not different for him for the time being, and can only be sent over a short distance, But the short-distance transmission is not very useful for him now, but it can be considered for use in the intelligence system, and it seems that it is most suitable to hand over the transmitter to Wang Yaqiao after getting it out.

Xiao Zhenlei went to Suzhou City to find a telegraph company to send a report to Zhenhua Company, mainly to inform the eagle Cai Guodong to lead the troops to Nanqiao Town, Cai Guodong will serve as the position of the deputy commander of the 46th standard, after Cai Guodong left, the Zhenhua Company Escort Team was presided over by Ma Hanlong to preside over the overall work, Cai Guodong will leave 500 members of the escort team who have completed the training to stay in Zhenhua Company, basically everyone is equipped with guns, as well as two mountain guns and two heavy machine guns, and other excess weapons and ammunition are all brought to the garrison camp in Nanqiao Town by the way led by Cai Guodong. In order to prevent others from discovering this batch of weapons and ammunition, Xiao Zhenlei asked Cai Guodong to lead his troops to set off at night, rest during the day on the marching road, and march at night, and strictly prohibit outsiders from approaching during the rest, so as not to leak secrets.

This time, Cai Guodong led more than 1,330 people, including the original three battalions, artillery company, machine gun platoon, and baggage company, as well as more than 1,300 soldiers of the escort team who had not completed their training, totaling more than 2,600 people, to Nanqiao Town.

Xiao Zhenlei did not rush back to Nanqiao immediately after sending the telegram, he had to find construction workers and engineering teams, and also buy building materials such as bricks, sand, cement and wood. Although he had more than 2,000 soldiers under his command, it was okay for them to do small work when building the barracks, but it was not enough for them to build houses, and it was still necessary for professional masons and carpenters to build houses.

When Xiao Zhenlei and Opiyin drove to buy building materials, Xiao Ma and a dozen soldiers found a cloth shop pù after some inquiry, the owner of this cloth shop pù is Liu Wancai, and now his son Liu Fulin is the shopkeeper to run the shop, the reason why he knows that Liu Wancai's son Liu Fulin opened a cloth shop here is that Xiao Ma heard about it yesterday afternoon drinking tea in the town's teahouse.

The pony led the soldiers to stop at the door of the Liu family's cloth shop, and after looking at the name of the shop, he rode on his horse and said: "This is it, according to the news, the rebel party is hiding in this shop, brothers, rush in and arrest the rebel party, if there is resistance, you will be killed!" ”

Xiaoma is completely a thief shouting to catch a thief, they themselves are a revolutionary party, but they want to come here to frame the Liu family father and son as a revolutionary party, in order to make Liu Wancai whole.

"Yes!" The soldiers jumped down from their horses and rushed into the shop with their rifles.

The arrest incident here immediately attracted the attention of the surrounding shops and pedestrians, and a large number of people gathered in front of the shop to see the excitement, and this kind of arrest of the revolutionary party has been common in recent years, and the more serious the revolutionary party is, the more fierce the government will arrest, as long as anyone is suspected of the revolutionary party, they will either die or be disabled, and even if they are released from the cell, there is only a small breath left.

"What are you doing, what are you doing? I'm not a revolutionary, I'm not, let me go! While many people were watching outside the door, two soldiers came out of the shop with a young fat man, who struggled and shouted vigorously, but this did not do anything to the two strong soldiers.

The pony jumped down from the horse and walked over, stared at Liu Fulin and asked, "You said you weren't a rebel?" ”

Liu Fulin was very wolf at this time, a horse coat made of silk was also torn, the braid on the back of his head was also scattered in the struggle, and the beads of sweat on his forehead were dripping down, looking like there were more wolves than wolves, he walked the pony over, and immediately said: "Yes, yes, this military master, villain Liu Fulin, is a person from Nanqiao Town, a businessman in the times, a family of duty, not a chaotic party at all, please also ask the military master to be clear!" ”

The pony stared at Liu Fulin for a few seconds, and shouted, "Come on, let me go in and search!" ”

"Yes!" Several soldiers immediately returned to the shop and searched the store.

At this time, there were more and more people watching the excitement around, which naturally attracted the yamen officials who had nothing to do on the street and extorted money from merchants all day long.

"What's going on, what's going on here, get out of the way, get out of the way!" A catcher in his thirties walked over with two followers to cut through the crowd.

"Oh, isn't this an iron catcher? Quick, everyone make way for the iron catcher! The shopkeeper of a nearby shop saw the three catchers approaching and immediately shouted for the people around him to give way.

When this iron catcher walked into the circle with two younger brothers, he found that it was a new army soldier who was arresting people, he happened to meet with the pony at this time, thinking that he would not wade into troubled waters, but since he had come, if he left without saying a word, it would undoubtedly damage his prestige in the hearts of the surrounding merchants, and he immediately smiled on his face and clenched his fist to the pony and said: "This military master, below is Tie Yijin, the head catcher of the prefect's yamen, I don't know what your ministry is talking about here?" Why do you want to hold the shopkeeper Liu of the Liu family's fabric shop? ”

Xiao Ma knew that he couldn't be weak in front of this kind of ruffian minions, otherwise it would be difficult to get out after being entangled, his face changed, and he said sharply: "I was ordered to arrest the rebels here, Liu Fulin of this cloth shop is suspected of being heavy, why does the iron head have a good relationship with this Liu Fulin?" ”

Tie Yijin's face turned pale when he heard this, and his heart trembled with fright, but he knew the government's methods of dealing with the chaotic party or those suspected of disrupting the party, and he himself did not beat and torture those who were suspected of rebellious party or disruptive party, the ten tortures of the Manchu Qing Dynasty were not unbearable, and he asked himself if he had the ability to resist.

"No, no, this military master misunderstood, Tie Mou just patrolled the street and saw that something was going on here, so come and see, in dealing with the chaos of the party, the attitude of our government and the garrison is the same, if the military master needs Tie's help, just speak!"
