CHAPTER XIII 4
This year's New Year will undoubtedly be stored in everyone's memory. Bai Jiaxuan got up and washed his hands and face, lit the two red candles on the sacrificial table, inserted five purple incense sticks, bowed three times, and then put a bundle of thunder cannons under his armpits and walked out of the street door and stood in the still dark alley. He pulled out the gunpowder twist of the thunder cannon, and with a pop of the fire paper in his hand ignited the twist, and the twist of the hemp paper rolled with black powder squeaked and burst out a string of shining sparks, and as soon as he shook his arm, the dark night sky above his head let out a painful explosion. He likes to shoot cannons, and only thunder cannons. He stood in the alley outside the gatehouse, and threw the thick thunderbolts into the air, and with one crisp sound after another, the cracker confetti fell down in the cold night sky, landing on his top hat and shoulders. When he returned to the main hall of the upper room with all his heart's content, his son and daughter-in-law had already worshiped their ancestors and kowtowed to Bai Zhao's family, just waiting to give him New Year's blessings.
When the auspicious light of the New Year shone out the outline of the roof, the family gathered around the square table to eat dumplings, and a clansman ran to him in a panic to report the news that Heiwa was smashing and digging in the ancestral hall. Bai Jiaxuan still ate dumplings unhurriedly, but he ate a lot today. Contrary to ordinary people, whenever he encounters an accident, he not only does not reduce the amount of food, but also has a great appetite. Let's talk about it when you're full! Even if you die, don't be a starving ghost. He put down his chopsticks and announced at the dining table: "Xiaowen, you think about what you should do, don't forget anything." Xiaowu, you go to the deacon at noon. Xiaoyi, you go to give your third uncle a New Year's greeting first. After the order was completed, Bai Jiaxuan walked into the horse number. Changgong Lu San went home when he left three days after the New Year, and he lived in the horse number after Lu San got off work every year, and never let his sons do it for him. On the first day of the Lunar New Year, he let the whole family rest, but after he worshipped his ancestors in the ancestral hall, he led the gong and drum team at the door of the ancestral hall to beat it happily. Now, after feeding the livestock, he dropped the straw stirring stick and walked into the ginning room, and stepped on the ginning machine and sang happily.
On the third day of the first lunar month, he was ready to marry Xiaowu, and his relatives and friends persuaded him to slow down and do it again after the current troubled times, and even Mr. Leng of his in-laws also converged with this intention, but he insisted on not changing his original intention: "He made his revolution, let's do our marriage, the two have nothing to do with it!" The agricultural cooperatives didn't say that men were not allowed to marry wives, did they?" He completely handed over the marriage of his second son Xiaowu to his eldest son Xiaowen, so that he was familiar with many etiquettes and some precautions in the marriage, and he himself only helped Xiaowen come up with ideas in important links. At this time, the third son Xiaoyi ran into the ginning room and said: "Dad, the third uncle is holding a spear to poke the black baby, and the third grandmother taught me to tell you to go!" Bai Jiaxuan was stunned for a moment, put on his robe again, put on his top hat and walked out of the ginning room.
He walked into the round hole door on the wall of Lu Santu, and saw Lu San holding a spear in his hand, the woman crawling on the ground and holding his leg, and Heiwa's younger brother Rabbit Baby holding Lu San's other leg, Lu San was still jumping angrily. Before Bai Jiaxuan could persuade him, he scolded Bai Jiaxuan: "Lu Zilin doesn't come out, and you won't show up!" People smashed the ancestral hall and burned the ancestral god shaft, you pretended to be blind? I'm not afraid of you being stabbed. It is my sin to have eight lifetimes of ancestors to create iniquity. I poked that son of a ......" Bai Jiaxuan said calmly: "You should put down the spear, smack the cigarette pouch and pick up your hand, and go to the bottom of the theater at the entrance of the ancestral hall to watch the excitement." More than a dozen gong and drum guys have dozens of guns, and they can't invite Bailu Village to come for money. In case you don't like to watch the excitement......" Bai Jiaxuan said calmly and seriously, "What I entrusted you with...... You should be reliable again. Lu San suddenly remembered that the sedan chair for carrying Xiaowu's daughter-in-law was rented by him. He saw Bai Jiaxuan pursing his lips meaningfully, shaking his head, throwing away the spear, squatting on the ground and sighing loudly......
The storm of the agricultural cooperatives has swept through Baekluwon. Bailu Village has also established a peasant association, with Heiwa as the director, Bai Xing'er as the deputy director, and Tian Xiao'e as the women's director. The peasant cooperatives in each village imitated the practice of the headquarters when it was founded, and put a bright guillotine on the stage, and there were two incidents of guillotine. Lu Zhaopeng immediately asked Heiwa to convene a meeting of the directors of the agricultural cooperatives, affirming that in the future, it is not allowed to arbitrarily dispose of people, nor is it allowed to put the guillotine on the venue again, and the need to deal with someone needs to be discussed and approved by the headquarters. The village peasant cooperatives can decide who to fight and parade in, but they must prevent the masses from intentionally or accidentally beating people to death. The leaders of the peasant cooperatives, who were encouraged by the revolutionary enthusiasm, felt that they were in a state of limbo, and they howled and complained that Lu Zhaopeng was too timid, too kind-hearted, and too soft-hearted. Originally, there were so many covers of the rich and evil gentry villages, but only three or five were not allowed to be opened, how could the revolution be carried out thoroughly? Lu Zhaopeng loudly warned: "Comrades, the revolution is not a guillotine...... and finally encouraged Heiwa and the leaders of the peasant cooperative, Zhaopeng finally heeded their call and decided to concentrate on attacking Yotian Fuxian, the head township of Bailucang, on the grounds that the peasant cooperatives demanded that the accounts of the imperial grain collected by Bencang every year since the Republic of China be published to all the villagers.
A new landscape of street parade has appeared in Bailu Town. Hejiafang, the first to establish a peasant cooperative, pioneered the street parade, and pulled the richest man in Hejiafang, He Yaozu and his wife, to Bailu Town with ropes to pull the morning glory and pull the sheep upstream for a week and eight turns, and the peasant cooperatives of each village rushed to drag the rich and evil gentry of their village to Bailu Town to parade through the streets, and the patterns were constantly renovated, the pointed hats of the paper paste were buckled on the heads of the fighters, and the red, red, green and green shrouds were forced to wear them on their bodies, and their faces were smeared with black ash at the bottom of the pot and dotted with white paste. On the 369th Gathering Day, the town is unprecedentedly crowded with people watching the faces and ugliness of those who used to be the top figures of the original villages. The street scenery of Bailu Town then became more and more common, and soon it lost its audience, and when the news came out that the headquarters of the Agricultural Cooperative wanted to visit Doutian Fuxian, the enthusiasm and novelty that had just cooled down rose again. There is a more exciting factor, that is, Lu Zilin of Bailu Village will be pushed to the stage at the same time, ** Son Dou Laozi, he really doesn't recognize his six relatives when he opens his eyes!
Pushing Tian Fuxian to the theater in Bailu Village is the highest peak of the development of the peasant movement in Bailuyuan. The venue is still in the theater in front of the ancestral hall of Bailu Village. Lu Zhaopeng personally presided over this extraordinary struggle meeting. There are nine townships and nine townships under the jurisdiction of Bailucang. It has been ascertained that since Tian Fuxian became the head of the township covenant in Bencang, almost a year without empty land has been quietly increased when collecting imperial grain, and the nine township covenants have all participated in the distribution of spoils without exception. Heiwa announced the proportion of their increase and the number of overcollected grain year by year, and announced the amount of grain shared by Tian Fuxian and the nine townships one by one. The audience suddenly turned from a terrible silence to a storm and shouted, "Raise the guillotine!" Lu Zhaopeng stood in front of the stage, and he couldn't stop the boiling commotion even though he roared hoarsely, he had no choice but to pull out a short gun from his waist and shoot it into the air, so that the audience could be quiet. He seized the opportunity to announce that the witnesses would be exposed.
The testimony was revealed by the golden scrivener of Bailucang, and all the details of Tian Fuxian's increased grain collection were recorded in his detailed account. Before settling accounts with Tian Fuxian, Heiwa and his brothers called the golden scrivener to the headquarters of the agricultural cooperative, and at the same time carried a guillotine to the steps outside the door. Jin Shushou glanced at the guillotine stained with the blood of the bowl, and his face suddenly lost blood: "Good black baby, good Lu Zhaoqian, you listen to me...... What are you asking, I'm really talking...... Hurry up and take the guillotine away, and I see the ...... I can't speak. Heiwa asked the guillotine to be carried away. Jin Shushou's expression really stabilized, but he said happily: "Oh, you asked about the ghost tricks of the general township of Zhongtian in the grain collection, and I said that's it!" I can't remember it from afar, but I haven't forgotten it just last year. The original amount of the land in this warehouse is 1,112 acres and 50 acres of people. Levy summer and autumn grain 3081 stone 1 bucket 5 liters 7 in 6 spoons. Each stone folds silver 1 tael 3 money 1 point 8 centimeters 3 milli 5 silk 8 flicker, 9 micro 6 fiber 2 dust 5 miao, a total of silver ...... "Heiwa has been impatient:" You are less verbose! Just talk about how much grain and silver dollars were brought down by the devil. Jin Shushou said: "I said that I can't remember the old accounts of the previous years, but I only remember that last year, I increased the amount of grain and collected more than 1,200 taels of silver." The original amount of the warehouse was 21,297 ding, and the silver was 1,211 taels 4 cents 5 cents 1 cents and 2 millimeters. Add more than 200 taels of over-levy. The above two items exceeded the levy of more than 1,400 taels. The nine townships shared 100 taels of spoils each. I myself took 100 taels. The rest of Tian Zongxiang was about to be swallowed alone. Heiwa and his brothers personally followed Jin Shushou to Bailucang, carried all the account books he locked in a drawer to the headquarters of the Agricultural Cooperative, and settled them year by year, and finally found that the amount of stolen goods embezzled by Tian Zongxiang and his nine security offices was astonishing. When Lu Zhaopeng got the news of this major breakthrough, he was so excited that he smashed his fist on Heiwa's shoulder and said, "Heiwa, you are amazing!" Now Bailu is really going to blow a wind and stir up snow!"
…………
Jin Shu read a list in his hand, and his legs and hands trembled. Tian Fuxian and the nine ministers lowered their heads and let him expose them one by one...... The Sao Bang monk was only a woman who had bullied the tenants, and the bowl guests were only playing crookedly in a few villages in the southern plains, while Tian Fuxian and his nine townships were facing the villagers of the entire plain, and more than 20,000 men and women in Bailuyuan had now become their enemies. Before the golden calligrapher finished reading, the audience was in an uproar again. Lu Zhaopeng immediately ordered the pickets to take them to the headquarters of the agricultural cooperative in the ancestral hall to take care of them. In order to prevent angry villagers from stoneing them to death, the planned parade was cancelled. Lu Zhaopeng announced loudly: "Tian Fuxian and other eleven people will be handed over to the Zishui County Court for trial." The resentful villagers immediately expressed their dissatisfaction with such a decision, and poured from the theater to the door of the ancestral hall like a tide, surrounding the ancestral hall to the ground, shouting that they wanted to snatch Tian Fuxian out of the hall in public. Heiwa also lost control: "Comrade Zhaopeng, what do you do now?" I said a long time ago that it would be difficult for the people to be angry, and there was a problem with this blind seed!" Lu Zhaopeng was also angry, and scolded: "Heiwa, you bastard!" I have repeatedly said that Tian Fuxian is not an old monk or a bowler, so he can't be a bowler! This is a major event involving the cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party! Immediately order the leaders of the 'peasant cooperatives' in each village to withdraw their members!"
Tian Fuxian went to Zishui County after hearing the news of the "agricultural cooperatives" checking their accounts. He first looked for Secretary Yue and then to County Magistrate Hu, and the first thing he said when he saw them was: "I am sincere in cooperating with Lu Zhaopeng to carry out the revolution, but I can't imagine that Lu Zhaopeng is behind my back!" How can I, the secretary of the general township and district office, be the secretary of the district?" Then he burst into tears...... Yue Weishan and County Magistrate Hu agreed to summon Lu Zhaopeng.
When Lu Zhaopeng walked into Yue Weishan's office, he couldn't guess the reason, and sat on the chair in a daze. Yue Weishan asked straight to the point: "Comrade Zhaopeng, why did you target the revolutionary comrades?" County Magistrate Hu went on to say: "The entire administrative apparatus of Bailuyuan has been paralyzed. Lu Zhaopeng said without thinking: "There is conclusive evidence to prove that Tian Fuxian is not a revolutionary comrade, but a corrupt official. This vampire not only ruined the reputation of the National Revolution, but also the prestige of the Kuomintang. Now that the words have been explained, I ask you to immediately proceed to send a district secretary and a general township covenant to Bailuyuan with clean hands and feet. Yue Weishan avoided the topic and said: "I also want to say something to you, the county continues to receive complaints from the top of Bailu Yuan Township, suing the leaders of the Agricultural Association for taking the bowl and raping the daughter-in-law." It is said that the leaders of the agricultural cooperatives are all dead skin Raiwa from various villages! Can these people advance the national revolution in the countryside? Revolution is not a mess! Your party also needs to think about it when looking for a leader of the agricultural cooperative, right?" Lu Zhaopeng was unconvinced and said: "The deputy director of the agricultural cooperative, the daughter-in-law of the sleeping bowler, has been removed. Tian Fuxian said at the beginning that the leaders of the agricultural cooperatives were all dead skins. The Qing Dynasty government scolded Mr. Sun Yat-sen for being a dead skin. Yue Weishan stopped and said, "How can you make such an analogy and deface the father of the nation?" Lu Zhaopeng insisted: "The same truth. The corrupt rulers denounced those who opposed them as rebels, rebels, and dead skins. County Magistrate Hu turned his words to specific matters: "Comrade Zhaopeng, you must ensure the safety of Tian Fuxian's life. The peasant cooperatives are not allowed to kill people at will, and those who have committed serious crimes must be handed over to the county court for trial. Lu Zhaopeng said: "I am responsible for handing over Tian Fuxian to you." ”
After dark, Lu Zhaopeng sent a picket inspector from the peasant cooperatives to escort Tian Fuxian to the county, and then sat down to discuss the next step with Heiwa - the distribution of land and the formation of peasant armies. Heiwa's low mood rose again because she didn't kill Tian Fuxian: "Brother Zhaopeng, if our peasant cooperatives confiscate the land and floating wealth of the wealthy gentry and distribute them to the poor men, then we will completely defeat them." ”
As soon as the work was rolled out, they got involved in Tian Fuxian's case. Tian Fuxian stayed in the court for half a month and then swaggered back to Bailuyuan, and the official was reinstated and stationed in Bailucang. Heiwa led three revolutionary brothers from the headquarters of the peasant cooperatives to the county court to investigate, and the judge said: "There is no evidence for investigation. Lu Zhaopeng personally found County Magistrate Hu's office again: "Why did you release Tian Fuxian?" County Magistrate Hu said humorously: "The golden scrivener has all retracted his confessions. It seems that the confession forced by the guillotine is not reliable. Lu Zhaopeng immediately found Yue Weishan again: "I don't care much about Tian Fuxian's affairs now, but worry about the national revolution!" Yue Weishan said very unceremoniously: "Comrade Zhaopeng, you are a member of the ** and a member of the Kuomintang, and you have the heavy responsibilities of two parties, and your bias towards one and discrimination against the other is too blatant. You have swept all the grassroots cadres of your party into battle, and the national revolution can only be completed by your party alone?" Lu Zhaopeng also said bluntly: "Please don't be too sensitive." If there is also a bad element like Tian Fuxian mixed in, we will automatically hand him over to the court. ”
Lu Zhaopeng returned to Bailuyuan, and Heiwa said: "I said that if you take the dog day, you have to hand it over to the court, and Tian Fuxian will not be punished when he is tried, but he has become framed by the agricultural cooperative!" Lu Zhaopeng and Heiwa went to the Preparatory Office of the Provincial Peasant Association to report together, and then found the provincial government together. Lu Zhaopeng and Heiwa returned to Bailuyuan, and soon came reliable news that the county magistrate of Zishui County Hu had been removed from his post by the provincial government, and Yue Weishan, secretary of the Kuomintang Zishui County Party Department, had also been transferred. When Heiwa and his revolutionary brothers went to Bailucang to arrest Tian Fuxian again, Tian Fuxian had already fled after hearing the news, and the whereabouts of Jin Shushou were unknown.
In less than a year, the county magistrate of Zishui County has been replaced four times, which is a record-breaking event since Qin Xiaogong established Zishui County, and the villagers can't figure out whether they are bare-faced or pockmarked, and even their names and surnames disappear from Zishui County. This incident made Mr. Zhu quite nerve-wracking, he flipped through the county chronicles of the past dynasties, although there are many discrepancies in various versions of the county chronicles, but the evaluation of the villagers in Zishui County is the same eight words: the water is deep and the soil is thick, and the folk customs are simple. Mr. Zhu thought: Can you still make such a conclusion in the newly revised county chronicle?
