"Boss Huang, Master Wu, these fellows have known each other since Wu Junguang and I were ass, they are all honest and responsible croppers, and I haven't heard of them causing anything since I was sensible. (Read the novel to the leaves, Yo ~ Yo)"

In the backyard of an inn in the town, Wang Yiyang, dressed as a mule worker and with a pair of conspicuous big hands, was introducing to the two leading long-shirted guests.

"These people are the internal affairs inspectors of the Jingshi, which is equivalent to the supervision of the imperial history of the previous dynasty, don't be afraid, if there are any grievances, just tell them, after they go back, they will show the emperor the situation, and the current emperor Shengming will definitely make the decision for you."

On the other hand, Wu Jun, who was also dressed as a mule worker and had a broad face, was also introducing his former fellow villagers and acquaintances.

The third uncle, Li Dazhu, and the dead mouse looked at each other for a while, and suddenly knelt on their knees, kowtowed to the few long-shirted guests sitting in front of them, and shouted in their mouths: "Lord Qingtian, you are here......"

Wu Jun and his companion Wang Yiyang hurriedly supported these honest peasants who had never been out of the county in their lives: "Get up quickly, this is the Chinese Empire, not the former Qing Dynasty, except for the emperor, you don't have to kneel when you see anyone." ”

The "Martial Master" with a lot of muscles on his face also got up and comforted: "Everyone sit, don't be restrained, drink tea if you want to, smoke if you want to, smoke if you want, it's like chatter, okay?" ”

The third uncle and his party looked at each other for a while, and then slowly got up with the encouragement of Wu Jun and Wang Yiyang, and sat stiffly on the chairs brought by the other "mule workers".

Seeing that everyone was seated, the "Master Wu" first whispered to the white-faced boy "Boss Huang" wearing sunglasses next to him, and then returned to his seat to ask: "You just chatted in the tea shop, we also heard some things, there are some things we don't understand, can you please tell us?" ”

"Ouch, Lord Qingtian, what are you talking about, we have to ask Lord Qingtian to be the master, what does the Lord want to ask, I will naturally tell the truth, and I dare not deceive at all. [Ye * Zi] [Yo * Yo]" The third uncle struggled to imitate the rhetoric in the play, and responded respectfully.

"Master Wu" shook his head and smiled: "Don't call me master, call me Inspector Wu, this person next to me is my chief - Director Huang." Don't be nervous, just talk as you normally would, but the first thing I want to ask is: You have long had local autonomy here, there are county councils, peasant associations, and there are also local soldiers' associations - the councils can impeach officials, the peasant associations can organize petitions and submit protests, and the township soldiers' associations can even reach the heavens - why didn't you think to report to them when you have been harmed by corrupt officials? ”

The third uncle glanced at Dazhu, then at the dead mouse, and said with a wry smile: "Lord Inspector, you don't know what to do, what councils, peasant associations, military associations, and those dog officials who do bad things are simply a family." ”

Wu Jian squinted, a little disbelieving: "How can this be?" Isn't parliament elected by the people? The peasant cooperatives are also organized by you peasants themselves, and the military associations are all local veterans, so why did they become a family with those officials? ”

The third uncle shook his head helplessly: "The conditions for running for parliament are so high, how much tax you have to pay, how much you have to have education, and what kind of party do you want to be recommended by someone above to join the party...... Election and election, either the rich peasant clan head in the township, the big gentleman in the county, or the young master and son who went to school in the city, there is no share of our usual croppers at all, and now even the head of the middle and upper family who is qualified to vote is too lazy to go on the day of the vote, anyway, the election is in vain - with that effort, it is better to pull two more carts of dung into the field. ”

"As for the peasant associations, the people who can speak in them are the rich peasants who have saved dozens of acres of land earlier, and the old landlords who have stayed in the township with 100 acres of land after the land is redeemed. People have money, knowledge, and background, and they have always been the leaders of the clan, and they have to take the lead in doing any major things in the village, and if they don't nod, nothing can be done - we can't do anything if we don't accept it. ”

"Speaking of the military association, a few years ago, there were many veterans who returned to their hometowns who wanted to take us to transform the peasant association, but it didn't take long for them to become a part of the family; Either lose your temper and honestly go home and serve the crops; The rest of the most upright and capable people simply took the whole family to the Northeast and Xinjiang to participate in that...... The Production and Construction Corps went. In some townships, the military associations are simply lackeys of powerful families, leading the security team to help them harm the common people all day long. ”

Inspector Nawu raised his head and glanced at Wu Jun, Wang Yiyang and the others who were lying on the table of the Eight Immortals and buried their heads in their records, and nodded with a serious expression: "Then tell me, in addition to what we heard in the tea shop, how did these people harm you?" ”

This time it was the turn of the dead mouse to open his mouth, only to see him gritted his teeth and sneered: "That's a lot of methods, just this mule and horse requisition, people with mules and horses will give you a mess, and those who don't have mules and horses will also have to pay for servitude, otherwise you will lead whatever livestock you have, donkeys, cows, pigs, dogs, all of them will not be let go." If you don't take the money to redeem it after taking it away, you will say that it has been charged to the treasury, so let you cry - in fact, the ghosts all know that these animals are either slaughtered and eaten in the end, or sold for their own money. ”

"But those rich families who run mules and horses shop, relying on the people above, some of them have a way to evade the expropriation, and if we have no mules and horses, we have to rent them at a high price. Speaking of the mules and horses we were requisitioned, God knows how many of them were sold to mule and horse shops in other places. ”

"This is nothing, originally this war, there will be a tax increase and public food, we have nothing to think about, tighten our belts, and a year or two will pass. But in addition to this positive tax, today a new soldier is sent off to the army, tomorrow a donation to celebrate this and that great victory, and the day after tomorrow will be amortized according to the capitation of dozens or hundreds of bonds to serve the country - it is said that it can only be bought and sold three years after the end of the war, and it can only be cashed out after nine years for profit, but there is not even a certificate, so you are asked to sign your name on the registration book and press a handprint, and the whole family will save money and use the hard-earned money accumulated for a year and a half, and it will disappear in the blink of an eye...... These messy things, when is it a head, and it doesn't let people live."

"Now this war has been fought for a year and a half, in the past, it was fought with a single country, and it was fought in a year or two, this time it is dozens of countries that can be counted and uncounted, and they are fighting together, God knows when the battle will be finished, it is good to win, and it is going to lose the ......."

The third uncle was startled, hurriedly covered the mouth of the dead mouse, patted his little head and scolded: "You rotten tongue crooked mouth, in front of the emperor's Qingtian lords, what nonsense are you talking about, see if I don't kill you......"

Inspector Wu hurriedly raised his hand to stop it: "Okay, okay, what to say, we are here to listen to the truth, the more you tell the truth, the more we can help you." ”

Li Dazhu, who had already clenched his fists, suddenly shouted angrily: "Okay, I have the truth to say that this year's spring is going to be, and the people who have suffered disasters in our village have ganged up to go to the county to complain, and as a result, they have been planted with a bunch of crimes that we can't explain. There are also people who have been dragged to some unknown place in the road, and what kind of 'non-national transformation' they are engaged in, and there is no news so far, they all say that they have been dragged to the front line to do hard labor, and until they die, no one has collected their bodies."

"There are also those who are not convinced, it is a distant cousin of mine, who went to the county to study in junior high school for a year, saying that if he doesn't believe it, there will be no Wang Fa, and he rushed overnight with dry food on his back, and finally arrived in the provincial capital, and was caught by the police as soon as he went on the street. People don't care about 3721, when they see his appearance, they say that he is either evading military service or evading labor, my cousin took out the pleadings and showed them, and they said that my cousin was plotting to disrupt the rear, and was imprisoned in a shelter and beaten, and within a few days he was repatriated to his hometown, and when he returned to the county seat, he was tortured and became a madman, and now he is still locked up in a mental hospital in Fucheng - after this, who else is brave enough to sue"

……

A few days later, in Baoding, the provincial capital of Zhili, in an old teahouse where paint was peeling everywhere, the "Director Huang" and "Wu Supervisor", who had been transformed from a country changsam guest into a small citizen in a suit, were gathering in front of a large table, in front of which was ordinary green tea in a white-glazed gaiwan teacup, plus three or five kinds of dried fruit snacks.

Bursts of military music could be heard outside the window, and in the small square a hundred or so steps away, about 1,000 middle school students in uniform were participating in a "mobilization meeting for the military and the national spirit." Around the place, there were idlers watching the excitement, and in front of a "ration specialty store" on the side of the square, women with baskets lined up in a long line—all holding colorful "ration tickets" in their hands.

"How does it feel to be back in town?" Director Huang—in fact, Liu Qianhua, the current Empress of Chengxian—looked around at everyone and asked seemingly casually.

"It feels like I'm back on earth from hell." Inspector Wu—whose real identity is Colonel Wu Haisong of the Intelligence Department of the Imperial General Staff—replied with a shrug of his shoulders as he twisted a peanut.

Liu Qianhua sneered: "I just arrived in the provincial capital, and I am in the world, if I really want to return to the capital, then I will go to heaven?" ”

"I'm trying to settle accounts with the owner of those dog things." Wu Jun, who was dressed in a beige short coat and a melon skin hat at the adjacent table, and was dressed as a small clerk, suddenly turned around and interjected.

Wu Haisong chewed peanuts, tilted his head and asked him, "What is the accounting method?" ”

Wang Yiyang, who was also dressed as a clerk next to Wu Jun, waved his big hand, as if this wave could turn the world upside down and clear the sea: "Illuminate the method of Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang, peel the skin and grass, and show the public along the street"

Wu Haisong sneered: "It can solve the problem so simply, why should our Director Huang bother to do a private visit to the microservice?" ”

Before the words fell, there was a sudden commotion downstairs, and then there was a loud sound of military leather boots inlaid with metal boots violently trampling on the wooden planks of the stairs, and everyone looked at each other, only to see a man in civilian clothes, leading several uniformed military policemen with pistols at their waists and short sticks in their hands, rushing up to ...... viciously.
