Lu Zilin has been in a spiritual crisis for a long time. The public shooting of the county magistrate Hao in Bailuyuan shocked the men, women and children on the plain, including Tian Fuxian, who were all shocked and sighed loudly: "My God! It's strange that the ** on this original is not clean and digging up the roots, and the county magistrate turned out to be a ** leader!" Lu Zilin participated in this unprecedented murder organization work as a township covenant, and according to the county's arrangement, the men and women of each village under the jurisdiction of this security office lined up to go to the killing field according to the organization of A, and watched the scene of the county security team shooting the ** county magistrate. The killing field was chosen next to the elementary school in the south of Bailu Town, and the people who gathered here from various villages in the East Plains, West Plains, South Plains, and North Plains were strictly limited to the boundaries demarcated with white ash, and the guards of the White Deer Warehouse were responsible for maintaining order. Under the fence around the primary school and at the gate, the guards of the county security team were guarded with live ammunition and shouted at the villagers who tried to go under the wall to poop and pee away from the wall. Lu Zilin stood in front of the queue of the villagers under the jurisdiction of Bailu Bao, and clearly saw the whole process: two columns of heavily armed guards walked out of the school gate with guns, and the person in a Mao suit who was tied up in the middle was the county magistrate Hao; There was a card stuck in his back, and his arms were held hostage by two baoding. The heads of the county, including the head of the township, all sat on the temporary rostrum, and Yue Weishan sat in the middle. The two columns of Baoding were separated in a fan shape, and the county magistrate Hao was escorted to the rostrum. He could no longer straighten upright, his head was lowered, his legs were bent and he could not stand, and he was carried by two guards from both sides. The moment Lu Zilin first caught a glimpse of County Magistrate Hao at the gate of the primary school, a hallucination appeared in front of his eyes, the person who was bound by hemp rope was not County Magistrate Hao, but his son Lu Zhaopeng. Later, he couldn't listen to the speeches of the captain of the county security team and the president of the court, and Yue Weishan's final speech was not even a word to hear. Lu Zilin's ears were whirring with a strong wind, and he couldn't help but guess in his heart: Is it because County Magistrate Hao can't stand is scared and weak, or is his leg broken and he can't stand upright? said that he was frightened and his legs and feet trembled, and that he was disabled and could not see the injury. When the final execution order was executed, County Magistrate Hao was dragged to the base of the wall by the running Baoding, and Lu Zilin saw that one of the toes of the legs dragged by the county magistrate Hao on the ground was actually tilted backwards, and the other toe was also tilted outward, and he realized that the legs must have broken bones. A platoon of guards aimed their guns at County Magistrate Hao, who was kneeling on the ground five or six paces away, and then pulled the gun yard. The gunfire was loud, but it was not as thrilling as the villagers had hoped. Lu Zilin hallucinated again in the chaotic gunshots, and the person who was hit by the random gunfire and did not react or even make a ** was not the county magistrate Hao, but his son Zhaopeng.

After the end of the session, the officials above the township covenant were gathered in a classroom in the school, and Yue Weishan lectured them: "I will first review my dereliction of duty to you, ** Boss Hao lives in a county government courtyard with me, and I don't look up to see him, he can be a county magistrate under my nose for a few years, it can be seen how paralyzed I am!" Do you take me as a lesson and do you have to be careless in serious self-examination? Our Zishui County is the most chaotic area in the province, and Bailuyuan is the red nest of this county. The first ** in this county is in Bailu Plain, and the first branch of ** was established in this plain first...... Hao, as the head of the bandits in this county, has been cut off, we must take advantage of his panic to dig up those hairy roots, and we must clear the ** in the original and even the county in one fell swoop......" Lu Zilin's ears were still blowing intermittently with the rumbling wind, always suspecting that Yue Weishan's eyes were very different from those of others, and after the meeting ended, this premonition was finally confirmed, Tian Fuxian intercepted him who had stilted out of the classroom threshold and said: "Secretary Yue wants to talk to you." ”

The location of the conversation was changed to the principal's room. The headmaster carefully poured a cup of tea for each of them and walked away with a sense of humor. Only Tian Fuxian was there in the house. Yue Weishan bluntly said to Lu Zilin: "You managed to help me find Lu Zhaopeng. Lu Zilin's mind burst into flames, and he hurriedly argued: "I haven't met him for many years, where can I find it?" Yue Weishan looked at his flushed face and restrained him with gestures, and said, "You find him or occasionally get news from him, you tell him that I look forward to him returning to Zishui to work with me, and we have worked together once and we can get along." If you give him an explanation, I will ask him to return to Zishui to be the county magistrate, and use his talents and skills to the interests of the villagers in the county. Although we are political rivals, we are classmates and friends personally. I have always admired Zhaopeng's talent and knowledge, and it would be a pity if such a useful talent fell to the end of County Magistrate Hao!" Lu Zilin listened to these sincere words, the wind in his ears stopped, and his emotions were very focused, trying to capture the information beyond these words, in order to judge the sincerity of these words and the possibility of trapping. Yue Weishan said: "I have to go back to the county. You, you can make all my hard work go down the drain. In a word, I look forward to working with him again. After Lu Zilin pondered it again, he still tactfully stated the difficulty: "Lu Zhaopeng is no longer my son!" I haven't even seen each other for years......" he said, glancing at Tian Fuxian, trying to get him to testify. Tian Fuxian put his round bare head and said, "You haven't understood what Secretary Yue meant." Yue Weishan smiled and said, "Yes, I fully believe your words, but maybe there is a chance to bump into him." I didn't even expect to bump into him. You're his dad...... There is a better chance of bumping into it. Lu Zilin had already heard about Yue Weishan and Bai Xiaowen bumping into Lu Zhaopeng in Mr. Zhu's academy, and immediately accosted him: "Secretary Yue, you should beat him to death on the spot!" Yue Weishan still smiled and said, "I can't bear it. I'm looking forward to working with him a second time. ”

Lu Zilin spent three days and three nights chewing and grinding repeatedly, trying to figure out the true purpose of Yue Weishan's talk, especially the shooting of County Magistrate Hao as the background of the conversation. On the fourth day, Lu Zilin found Bailucang and wanted to explore the truth from Tian Fuxian's mouth. Lu Zilin first made an aura of complete trust in Yue Weishan and said: "Secretary Yue, this person is too magnanimous! If I can find out where Zhaopeng is, I will tie him back and send him to Secretary Yue. Tian Fuxian said calmly: "You go to the city first, walk around with relatives and friends and ask, this opportunity cannot be lost." Lu Zilin said embarrassedly: "Which acquaintance's house does he dare to go to now?" Tian Fuxian still insisted: "It doesn't matter if you can't find it, it's better to look for it." In the future, when I see Secretary Yue, I will reply and say that you have done your best to find ......" Lu Zilin got the words and said: "Does Secretary Yue want me to find it?" Tian Fuxian glared at him and said bluntly: "Zilin, you are too smart!" If you are too smart, you will think of good things crookedly. You should go and find it first! It's good to find Yu Zhaopeng, and it's good for you! I can't find it, and I won't ask you for it!" Lu Zilin made a firm voice that he was determined to obey and said, "Wow, I'll go find it!"

Lu Zilin went to the city the next day to find his second son Lu Zhaohai first, and retold the background and content of Yue Weishan's personal conversation with him to Zhaohai word for word, and asked Zhaohai to help him analyze Yue Weishan's true intentions. After hearing this, Zhaohai complained about his father and said, "Dad, you are so confused! If it's so clear, you can't figure out the truth and the truth?" Then he said angrily: "This is bullying you!" Lu Zilin kept his head silent. Zhaohai said: "Yue Weishan is very proud of killing County Magistrate Hao. He knew that Zhaopeng would not surrender, and deliberately used this to give you a bright ear, because he suspected that you and Zhaopeng might secretly have a pull. You can't even figure it out?" Lu Zilin said: "I thought of this step, but I didn't dare to be sure of this step, I also thought about it several times. Zhaohai said: "He must be suspicious of your hometown!" Lu Zilin said: "I also thought of this step. Zhaohai said angrily, "Where are you looking for Zhaopeng?" When he says it again, you ask him, 'You can't catch you everywhere, how can I bump into it?'" Lu Zilin smiled bitterly: "How can I talk to people like this!" Zhao Hai said strongly: "You can't say it, I'll tell him." This man has a lot of problems!" Lu Zilin said worriedly: "You don't dare to be reckless and cause trouble. Zhaohai said: "Since you have entered the city, you will stay here for a few days, eat mutton steamed buns for a few days and watch a few scenes, and when you go back, you will say that you haven't seen it, see if he can eat you!"

Lu Zilin lives in Zhaohai, and every morning he goes to Lao Sun's restaurant to eat a bowl of steaming mutton steamed buns, and goes to Sanyi Society in the evening to appreciate the Qin dialect. The only doubt in his heart was that his son Zhaohai was the company commander, and the company commander in the army was older than Secretary Yue of Zishui County? I'm afraid not. But from Zhaohai's tone, it can be clearly heard that Yue Weishan is not a big deal! Eating mutton and steamed buns and watching Qin opera are undoubtedly Lu Zilin's preferences, so three days of leisurely and pleasant days passed, and after the fourth day, his son Zhaohai came back, and while untying the gun box in his waist, he said: "Today, I have treated that play." Lu Zilin blinked and asked who had played it, and Zhaohai said contemptuously: "Yue Weishan boy!"

Lu Zhaohai took the regiment commander and rushed to Zishui County in a military vehicle, and stepped straight into Yue Weishan's office room, with a pistol with a cowhide tendon pinned to his waist, and introduced: "This is the commander of the 3rd Regiment of the 17th Division of the National Revolutionary Army. Commander Ran introduced Lu Zhaohai in turn and said, "I am Lu Zhaohai, the commander of a company. He Lingzun is your subordinate, and the Bailu Security Station is about Lu Zilin. We are here to visit Secretary Yue specifically for the matter of Luxiang Covenant. Yue Weishan's eyes showed a trace of imperceptible surprise, but he was not rude: "If you two have something to say, I will do my best." Commander Ran pretended to be stunned and asked: "You talked to Luxiang once, and the old man was scared for three days and three nights, and he couldn't eat or sleep, and he ran to the city to live with the commander of the Lu company, and he didn't dare to go back to the original!" Yue Weishan smiled and said: "Misunderstanding and misunderstanding, pure misunderstanding. I just asked Ling Zun to persuade Lu Zhaopeng when he saw him, I asked Zhaopeng to return to Zishui to be the county magistrate. Ling Zun wanted to go somewhere else. Lu Zhaohai only then spoke: "You have been offering a reward of a thousand oceans for many years, and the thousand oceans are still hanging now, and no one can take the luck to receive the reward." Isn't it embarrassing for you to blame your father for this problem?" Yue Weishan explained: "There is absolutely no intention to embarrass him. Ling Zun is a very competent township in this county, and I trust him very much. Because of this, I hope that Brother Ling will use his talents to the great cause of the national revolution in his county. Lu Zhaohai said: "If you have good intentions, you have to look at the reality, Zhaopeng has already become an enemy since he made a fuss with the Agricultural Association and his father, who doesn't know about it?" If you are still wary of him, he will not be able to live inside and out. Yue Weishan shook his head gracefully and generously and said, "I also know about this. I have always had no doubts about my credibility. Lu Zhaohai said: "The original legend has been spread that if my father can't hand over Zhaopeng, the dismissal of the township contract is small, and he will be taken hostage." Yue Weishan smiled lightly: "The rumors are not credible. I said in front of the two of you, as long as I am nourishing water, no one can replace Ling Zun's township covenant. You can go back and explain it to Ling Zun and let him clear up the misunderstanding. Lu Zhaohai bluffed and said: "My dad looks shrewd and capable, but in fact he is very timid, and if he is a little bigger, he will be scared that the sky is about to fall." I've been used to playing with guns and falling half-ways in the past few years, and I can't imagine how he can become more and more timid. I said, I'll give you this 'nine and a half pounds' (head) to give you courage, what are you afraid of?" Yue Weishan was very annoyed when he heard these threatening words, but he couldn't help but continue to be kind: "The misunderstanding is purely a misunderstanding. Grasping that Lu Zhaohai had finished what he wanted to say and had achieved the appropriate moment of the purpose of the demonstration, Head Ran came out of the round and said: "Secretary Yue explained that there is no intention to speak, this is fine, and we will not bother." The two of them said goodbye and wandered around the gray and narrow streets and alleys of the county for a long time, deliberately holding their heads high at the gate of the county government, and disdaining the soldiers of the county security team standing guard at all......

Lu Zilin listened to Zhaohai's doctrine, laughed, and laughed at Yue Weishan happily: "Oh, I only said that Yue Weishan was in Zishui County, and as soon as he stepped on the Bailuyuan and stomped on the windows and doors of every house, I didn't expect him to be cowardly, and he was afraid of that iron dog baby (pistol)! Lu Zhaohai said disdainfully: "I said that this person is cheap!" Lu Zilin obeyed Zhaohai's wishes and continued to eat mutton and steamed buns in the city to watch Qin's opera, deliberately delaying the time to return to the original place to indifferent Yue Weishan's conversation. Half a month later, Lu Zilin himself could feel the increased piece of meat on his cheeks before deciding to go back. Head Ran specially wanted to send a car to send Lu Zilin to the plain. Lu Zilin said: "Forget it, what are we doing with that wide and majestic road?" Captain Ran said: "This time, I want to be arrogant, shake my majesty, and see which dog and cat ** thing in the place dares to give you a nest on your head?" The car drove all the way into Bailu Town, and then drove to the gate of Bailu Cang, Tian Fuxian thought that the government dignitaries were coming to Bencang in person, and hurriedly ran out of the yard to greet him, but he didn't expect it to be Lu Zilin's father and son and another officer. According to the method agreed on the road, Regiment Commander Ran spoke: "Mr. Tian, please take more care of Zhaohai Jiaweng, and the soldiers will die with peace of mind outside." Tian Fuxian responded with a stiff smile, politely let them sit in the room, and Captain Ran and Lu Zhaohai boarded the car and left.

Lu Zilin began the most carefree days of his life. He came forward to do the affairs of the security office, except for the major matters that had to be negotiated by himself, and the rest of the things were handed over to Sang Shushou to entertain: You do this with someone in such and such a village, and you will do what I said about the matter of someone in such and such a village. He freed himself to hang out and drink. The shopkeepers of the various shops in the town are all his friends and wine fairies, and if he misses the opportunity to drink during the day, he will make up for it at night. The villages under the jurisdiction of this guarantee, as well as the villages further afield, had his friends and friends, and he sometimes waved his hands and shouted as soon as he entered the door: "Brother, quickly ask my sister-in-law to fetch us wine." Sometimes when he entered the door, he kicked the wine bottle he was carrying on the table, and he shouted happily: "Let's get two dishes, brother and sister." In case there are no vegetables, cut a plate of shredded radish. He often came back to the house as if he were drunk. The woman couldn't help but say, "I see that you have walked around the city once, and your alcohol addiction has become more and more serious?" Lu Zilin said: "You're right! I've just seen the world open this time, and I'm addicted to alcohol!" No matter what official and family affairs are no longer a burden to him, nor do they affect his interest in drinking and gossiping. It's just that every day when he goes home and enters the door, he sees Zhaopeng's daughter-in-law's indifferent and cold appearance, he can't help but feel a sinking in his heart, he pities his daughter-in-law's embarrassing situation of being a widow at home, but he can't help it, if it is not Mr. Leng's daughter, but the daughter of any other person, he will send her to leave the family as soon as possible, at least not to let him be a grandfather He also bears a psychological burden, and he has no shame to say such a thing in the face of the cold face of Mr. Leng. He walked into Mr. Leng's traditional Chinese medicine hall with a bottle of wine, and recounted Yue Weishan's jealousy of him with annoyance, and proudly recounted the good times of eating mutton and steamed buns in the city and watching Qin's opera, and finally vomited out his heart with the help of wine in a slightly drunken state: "Mr. Brother! Zhaopeng's family has brought disaster to his relatives and friends! I have a good family and I have all stirred up a lot of soup for him......" He sighed in such a measured way and never directly touched his daughter-in-law's embarrassing situation, intending to gain Mr. Leng's understanding. Mr. Leng said: "Heroes are defeated in the hands of their children!" Lu Zilin asked for this sentence, so that he could no longer apologize to Mr. Leng for his children's marriage, and continue to maintain friendly exchanges.

Lu Zilin's behavior aroused Tian Fuxian's vigilance. Tian Fuxian went to the county for a meeting, and Yue Weishan talked to him alone after the meeting, asking if Lu Zilin was secretly involved with Lu Zhaopeng, and stared at Tian Fuxian's red face seriously and said, "I believe you understand." Don't get me a 'two-faced' guy!" Tian Fuxian glared at Lu Ren's eyes and replied affirmatively: "It's okay." I know Lu Zilin inside and out, and I have a lot of eyes, but I don't have much guts, and I don't have the viscera of bandits. Yue Weishan said disdainfully about Lu Zhaohai's demonstration in the county with the help of the regiment commander: "Two soldiers and two ruffians!" They know a lot of, and they actually came to blackmail me. Tian Fuxian complied with Yue Weishan's contemptuous tone and mocked: "It's a person, it's not a person, as long as you have a gun in your waist, you can't recognize your surname!" But he suddenly sighed in his heart, and it was strange that Lu Zilin came back from the city to wander around, it turned out that he relied on the majesty of his second son who had a box pinned to his waist, which was a bit too weighty.

Tian Fuxian found the Bailu Town Security Station the next day, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he ridiculed Lu Zilin without scruples: "You have drunk beautifully and enjoyed every day." Lu Zilin blushed, and said loudly in surprise: "Ah, brother, why are you talking to your brother like this?" Tian Fuxian still said quietly: "You drink everywhere, gossip everywhere, and recognize relatives in all directions. People say that all the godbabies you recognize are actually your species. Lu Zilin's face became more and more red: "Many people recognize the doll under my knees, because they want to avoid Zhuang Dingli!" I have a good heart and a soft face that can't be wiped out, and it doesn't cost me anything to be a big man. You don't listen to the gossip that filthy me!" Tian Fuxian said: "Whether there are those things or not, only you are innocent in your heart, and I don't care; You are in great spirits, you are going to Japan, but you have delayed the serious official duties of the security office, you can say that I turned my face and did not recognize my brother!" Lu Zilin was weak and short-breathed and forced the façade: "You can't make any mistakes, don't worry." I like to take a sip of wine, and that doesn't get in the way of my business. Tian Fuxian talked about Lu Zhaohai's demonstration to Yue Weishan at this time: "What do you care? He's a grain eater, and he can stay here for the rest of his life?" The blood on Lu Zilin's face suddenly fell, and his back was cold, this was a fatal and powerful sentence. Tian Fuxian did not mention the regiment commander, let alone Lu Zhaohai's company commander, but called them all "grain that eats grain"; As a son of grain who is just for food, of course, it is impossible to be stationed in the city forever, and it is impossible for him to go to his son forever to enjoy mutton steamed buns and Qin dialect: once his son withdraws from the city and goes to other places, can he still be expected to tie a box around his waist and support Lao Tzu in a car? And Yue Weishan, as a real head snake, will continue to be entrenched in Zishui County. Today, after Lu Zilin saw through the world, he realized that he was short-sighted. So, he sincerely said to Tian Fuxian: "Young people don't know the depths! Brother, when you see Secretary Yue again, apologize, and worry about the second pole. Tian Fuxian continued to implement the heart-digging tactics against him: "It doesn't matter if the young man plays one or two poles, we who are old have to hold the thick and can't be frivolous...... The two of them were talking about the tension, and Bai Xiaowu asked Lu Zilin to discuss the matter of supplementing the family tree...... After sending Bai Xiaowu away, Lu Zilin spread his hands to Tian Fuxian and said disdainfully: "Bai Jiaxuan, this person, will do these idle things!"
