After the capture of Shicheng, Commander Qian and thousands of soldiers in gray uniforms entered the city overnight to grab territory.

Brigade Commander Wang was not in a hurry to enter the city, nor was he busy grabbing the territory of Stone City.

Brigade Commander Wang had greater ambitions,—— not only staring at a stone city, but also wanting to be the governor of the whole province, so he first incorporated the defeated generals of Liu Zhen's guard envoy outside the city, turned his mixed brigade into an independent division, and then returned to Qincheng and carried out political activities intensively.

Brigade Commander Wang met with Zhang Dashuai's representatives in Fengtian, had secret talks with Zhang Dashuai's representatives for two days, and held a meeting of gentlemen from all walks of life to talk about peace and democracy.

On the day of his inauguration, Brigade Commander Wang issued a fiercely worded telegram calling on Zhao Governor, who was directly attached to the Beijing government to be stationed in the city, as "an accomplice in the civil strife in Cao Wu and a public enemy of the people of this province," and demanded that the military and people of the whole province work together to expel him.

Supervisor Wang was busy in Qincheng, and Captain Qian was busy in Shicheng.

After occupying the territory, in the name of catching the bandits and traitors, the head of the Qian regiment looted and looted everywhere, and killed many people. On the telephone poles on both sides of Daguan Road, dead people are hanging every day, and the air in the city has become fishy, and the people in the city are terrified.

On the fourth day, Brigade Commander Wang's new identity as Lieutenant General Independent Division Commander and Supervisor was announced, and Regiment Commander Qian naturally became the brigade commander and town guard.

Qian Zhenshou sealed the knife and invited President Tang of the General Chamber of Commerce to hold a meeting with the gentry and celebrities of the city, saying that it was the Wang Supervisor who entered the city the day after tomorrow, and all walks of life had to mean that they had to have money to contribute, and they had to hold a grand welcome ceremony.

President Tang and the gentlemen and celebrities didn't dare to say nothing, they all nodded again and again, saying that it was the Wang Supervision Office and the Qian Zhenshou who relieved the people of the city from fire and water and recovered the stone city.

Bu Shouru, as the owner of a city sedan chair, was naturally also among the invitations of the Qian Zhen Guard, so he also came, and he also scolded Liu Zhen's Envoy, saying that Liu Zhen's Envoy was indeed a scourge to the people, and he fled, and robbed her of 1,7800 "Wan Chengxing" sedan chairs, most of which were damaged - many of them were burned by the soldiers of the Qian Zhen Envoy after returning to the city, and Bu Shouru did not dare to say it.

The soup chief sitting opposite was really bad, and when he saw Bu Shouru say this, he sneered: "Whether your sedan chair was robbed or given by your aunt and grandmother, I'm afraid it's hard to say, right?" The relationship between your Aunt Bu and the surnamed Liu is not ordinary, who doesn't know the adults and children in our stone city! ”

Bu Shouru didn't look good, and sneered at each other on the spot: "The relationship between your President Tang and your surname Liu is average, but why do you keep raising money for your surname Liu?" How much has been raised in the past ten years, I'm afraid you can't tell, right? ”

President Tang said: "I was forced to raise money. ”

Bu Shouru said: "Your chamber of commerce is a birthday for the surname Liu, but no one is forcing it, right?" Why did you cast a golden birthday star for the surname Liu? ”

President Tang was anxious: "Why don't you know that you didn't force it?" The surname Liu let go, I'm ...... We can't do it......"

When the envoy heard this, he waved his hand again and again: "Okay, okay!" Don't talk about the past beforehand, you just need to take out half of your past heart to me and supervise the king. ”

Looking at President Tang, Qian Zhenshou said again: "I will ask you for the 100,000 yuan from the Chamber of Commerce, your old soup can raise money for the surname Liu and celebrate his birthday, so naturally he can also raise money for me, if you can't raise it, I will do you!" ”

With a turn of face, his eyes fell on Bu Shouru: "Aunt Bu, I also know about you, even if President Tang doesn't say it, I know it!" Don't forget, I was the pipe band of the patrol battalion back then, and I was familiar with your father and Ma Erye! For the sake of your father and Ma Erye, I'll not deal with you as a bandit first, but I will also say it clearly: If there is any trouble at the welcome ceremony, I will only ask you! You're going to have to tell your bastards to be careful! Also, your share of the donation can't be missing, and if you miss a child, I will seal your sedan number......

On the seventh day, when everything was ready, Governor Wang finally entered the city, and came in through the Jubao Gate in the west of the city.

The ceremony of entering the city was solemn.

At the front of the mighty procession were the military band and infantry, followed by the horse team, the artillery team, and then the pistol guards supervised by Wang. - There was not even a single sedan car in the entire marching procession, which was very different from Liu Zhen's guard.

Supervisor Wang was sitting in a car, which was black and old, with patches on the body of a foreign iron sheet, like a big coffin crawling hard.

On each side of the car stood a guard on each pedal.

Two guards held the handle of the car in one hand and the box cannon with a large mechanism in the other......

Bu Shouru stood on the bluestone steps in front of the "Old Tongda" gate and saw the car supervised by Wang from a distance, and felt very surprised, why can't he understand that the black iron coffin is not horse-pulled, and no one carries it, why would he go by himself?

Bu Shouru asked Qiu Sanye beside him: "Third master, what does this car refer to?" ”

Qiu Sanye shook his head, and said again and again: "I don't understand, I don't understand...... The car brought by Wang Supervisor was the first car in Shicheng, and later I learned that it was sent by Zhang Dashuai, it was a German car, called "Mercedes-Benz", and the name was very good.

According to Jin Shifu, the office of the government affairs council, the car was not Zhang Dashuai's, but Zhang Dashuai handed over which commander of the direct army, and the marshal was suspicious, so he rewarded Wang for supervising the office.

The "Mercedes-Benz" supervised by Wang did not run on the day of entering the city, and the snail also crawled, so tired that the butt of the car emitted black smoke and the front of the car emitted white steam.

The granite road is not easy to drive, plus a while uphill, a while downhill, the car will be more tired, and finally tired in front of the "old Tongda" door.

Bu Shouru saw the car bang and stopped.

The car stopped, and the military band, infantry team, and horse team in front of it did not know it, and they were still blowing and blowing and walking forward, and the people who were shot on both sides looked at the people who came to welcome them and laughed......

At this time, Supervisor Wang was on fire, got out of the car, took out the young coachman in a straight military uniform and slapped him on the street, and scolded his grandmother for his grandmother, which was a shame for himself.

The corner of the driver's mouth was bloody, and he didn't dare to wipe it, so he hurriedly went to the bottom of the car to get the car, making his military uniform wrinkled, and he was covered in black oil.

Bu Shouru decided that the thing called "Mercedes-Benz" was not as good as a sedan chair, and he wanted to see Wang Supervisor continue to go abroad, but because of his identity as the owner of the sedan chair and the convenience of the sedan chair in the future, he asked Qiu Sanye to go and tell Wang Supervisor that he would take out the sedan chair from the "old Tongda" and take eight sedan chairs for Wang Supervisor to sit on.

Qiu Sanye was already too old to be presentable, so the guards of Wang Sanye did not suspect that Qiu Sanye would plot to kill Wang Sanye, so they sent Qiu Sanye to Wang Gongzhuo.

Bu Shouru watched Qiu Sanye nod from a distance and talk to Supervisor Wang, and called the "old Tongda" Zhao steward to prepare the sedan chair.

Bu Shouru believes that there is no way out of the predicament except for sitting in her sedan chair.

Unexpectedly, Qiu Sanye came back and said that the Wang supervisor had backbone, only took the car, not the sedan chair, and claimed that he was the new supervisor who advocated scientific democracy, not the feudal remnants of Liu Zhenshou.

Bu Shouru smiled and said to Qiu Sanye: "Then let's leave it alone, and watch his scientific and democratic black coffin climb back!" ”

The coachman fiddled with it for a long time, but the car was still not ready, so the guards had to carry it until it reached the gate of the governor's mansion......

This incident caused the king to disgrace him, and the word spread throughout the city the next day.

Those who have good deeds also made up songs:

The supervised car is really fast,

One sits and twenty people carry it.

Pedestrians should be careful,

You will be fined 8,000 yuan.

When this song came to the ears of the king superintendent, the king became angry.

At the government affairs meeting half a month later, Supervisor Wang patted the table and said: "Mom, why is Lao Tzu's car not broken outside the city, but only in the city?" Is the car bad? No! Lao Tzu's car is running whining outside the city! Lao Tzu's car was given by Zhang Dashuai, will Dashuai give me a bad car? Mom, I'll make it clear to everyone today: Whoever dares to say that Lao Tzu's car is not good, Lao Tzu will make him a bandit! This is the first one. ”

"Second, scientific democracy must be implemented, and the whole city must pay Lao Tzu to pave the way, which is the first step towards science in Shicheng."

"The third is democracy. It has been more than ten years since the founding of the Republic of China, don't you know? Why is it still a sedan chair, a sedan chair? What the hell is this X who is not a feudal remnant? Yes?! The sedan number has to be sealed by Lao Tzu, and then he is not allowed to take the sedan chair, whoever dares to go will be arrested, whoever dares to sit in the sedan chair with X, Lao Tzu will his dog to the wheel of the car and roll it ......"

At the meeting, Inspector Wang handed over the matter of paving the road and sealing the sedan chair to Jin Shifu, the office of the Government Affairs Council, to take full charge of the matter, and asked the envoy of Qian Town and the officers and men of the city to work together to assist in the arrangement, and also said that he would follow the advice of his Japanese friend Mr. Yamamoto, buy some very scientific Oriental cars from Japan and Shanghai, and set up a "Dafa Foreign Car Co., Ltd." to run foreign cars on the streets that will be paved in the future.

Jin Shifu, the office of the government council, has been to England and France, and also advocates science and democracy, so he immediately went to do it, first convened President Tang and the relevant gentry in the city to have a conversation meeting,—— deliberately did not invite the famous sedan owner of the city, Bu Shouru.

Jin Shifu was afraid that Bu Shouru would know that the seizure of the sedan chair would bring four thousand sedan chair men to work hard and affect his plans.

Jin Shifu knew at that time that Bu Shouru and the four thousand sedan chairmen would not give up and must fight, and he hoped to fight later.

At the meeting, Jin Shifu said all the meaning of Wang supervising scientific democracy, and asked everyone to contribute money and efforts, and paved the road together with the officers and soldiers in the city.

President Tang and all the gentlemen were stunned, and no one said a word when they had a bag of cigarettes.

Jin Shifu was angry and said, "What's the matter with you? Is it reluctant to pay for road repairs, or do you want to be a feudal remnant? Why did you work so hard to raise money for the remnants of the sin surnamed Liu back then, and don't be angry when you do this good deed with immeasurable merit? ”

Seeing that Jin Shifu was still reasonable, President Tang stumbled and said, "Jin will do it, let's ...... We can't get in the way of the granite roads in the city...... hindering the king's supervisor...... Take the car, just ...... It's not to pave the way, in fact, this ...... The granite road in this city is quite good, although it is broken, but it is ...... It's also a scene in our city! ”

Jin Shifu said: "What scene? Is it a scientific scene? Not really! My brother has been to London in England, Paris in France, and many places in other countries, but he has never seen such an unscientific scene! To be scientific and enterprising, we must first build roads, build white gray roads today, monks Min Tu roads tomorrow, and build railways the day after tomorrow, only in this way can we build our stone city and strengthen our Republic of China. This...... This has nothing to do with whether Superintendent Wang walks or not. If the king supervises the car or not, the road must be repaired. ”

President Tang said again: "That's it...... Even if you fix it, it's ...... You have to take your time, you can't say that the wind is the rain, is it...... Shall we take a long-term view? ”

Jin Shifu threw the pistol on the table and said sharply: "Don't discuss it, China's affairs are discussed and discussed!" How many years have the North and the South negotiated peace, and has it been peaceful? No! Brothers like to be cheerful when they do things, and the brothers used to launch revolutions everywhere with this wind and fire, and now, they have to do this! Whoever dares to disobey will be subject to military law! ”

President Tang didn't dare to say anything more.

Jin Shifu sighed again and said: "You people, you really don't understand reason, give you democracy, discuss with you, you will play tricks, it is obviously a good thing, but you don't want to do it!" ”

At this moment, Boss Bai, who opened a silk shop, stood up and said tremblingly: "This ...... That's a good thing, and who wouldn't want to do it? Who...... I don't want to ...... What about science, science? Only...... I don't know what the gold will do and ...... Have you thought about it with our Wang Supervisor? Built the road, walked the car, this ...... What can you do with the sedan chair in this city? What else do four or five thousand sedan chair bearers refer to to eating? ”

Jin Shifu nodded: "That's a good question." The livelihood of four or five thousand palanquin bearers is indeed a problem. In this regard, my brother has already thought about it, the young can go to our Wang to supervise the army as a soldier to eat food, and the older one can go to pull the Oriental car. ”

Boss Bai said again: "That...... The owner of the sedan chair, Aunt Bu, only ...... I'm afraid it's not easy to do, the sedan chair in the whole city is hers, she ...... How many years did she fight to get it, and she didn't even recognize her father in order to win the sedan chair, so she would let it go easily? No...... Don't play with you? Jin Hui, you don't know when you first arrive, Aunt Bu is not an ordinary person, the whole city is in her hands......"

Jin Shifu smiled: "This has nothing to do with you, what Aunt Bu, what helpers, brothers will deal with it." This woman will be pulled down when she knows her face in the future, and if she really doesn't know her face, her brother and the king will punish her according to the law. My brother has long heard about this woman's collusion! On the day of Liu's escape, wasn't she sent thousands of people in a sedan chair to take away so many arms and horses?! Don't go and tell her about this, my brother will wait for her to come to the door and cure her of the capital crime of gangsters and troublemakers! ”

After the meeting, several gentlemen with heads and faces were still unwilling to pay the frightening amount of money for road repair, and invited each other to President Tang's house to ask President Tang for advice.

President Tang didn't come up with any ideas, so he just asked everyone to delay it for three days, and said that if the Jin Huiban did not change his proposal after three days, he still wanted to repair this road, then he would have to pay honestly.

That night, President Tang threw away the old feud, went to Ma's house in a lonely sedan chair, met Bu Shouru, and poured all the scientific plans of the Jin Society at the Gentry Talk Meeting to Bu Shouru, so shocked that Bu Shouru was silent for a long time, as if he had been shot.

President Tang said, "Aunt Bu, don't be in a daze. You'll have to take the claim early, and you'll be done late. ”

Bu Shouru nodded: "I know." ”

President Tang also said: "It's not okay to fight hard, it's best to petition, it's the most fashionable right now." ”

Bu Shouru nodded again: "I know ......"
