Chapter XI
Tian Dahao touched a lot of bad luck because he had a great "consciousness".
It's good to make a fuss, but there's one thing that's bad: the head loves to be hot. As soon as his mind is hot, he has "enlightenment"; With "enlightenment", it is natural to "enlighten people". The next day, he went to talk to the potters' representatives, and sold the words Liu Yihua had taught him again, and this sale went wrong: a representative surnamed Hu immediately reported his "enlightenment" to Hu Gongye.
Gong Ye ate two grains of iron sand, and was angry, as soon as he heard the news of the rebellion, he immediately became angry, and immediately slapped the table, and immediately broke one of the fingers of his right hand.
Gong Ye pinched his injured finger and shouted:
"Tie me up Tian Dahao, ** raised, I want to see how many heads he has?!"
But his men cautiously advised:
"Gongye, you can't tie it up! No matter what Tian Dahao says, he is still a representative of the potters, and he is a member of the Tian family......"
Gong Ye thought about it, and it was right, it was indeed untied.
So, Gong Ye took a group of people to Tianfu Xingshi to ask for the crime, he had to ask Tian Er how to teach Tian Dahao such an unsuccessful thing?!
The second master didn't know about this.
The second master was also surprised.
The second master and the gong master both believe that the rebellion is disloyal, unfilial, unkind and unjust, and it is categorically unforgivable! The second master asked Gong Ye to calm his anger, and the second master gave Gong Ye cigarettes and tea.
However, the second master is the second master after all, and the second master has the same surname as the big fuss after all, and the second old man was shocked, but he still excused the big fuss a few words.
The second master said:
"Gong Ye, you don't know about this offspring, I watched him grow up, this offspring was born without fear of heaven and earth, he has a straight temperament, there are not so many fancy stomachs, I can't be sure who is behind it!"
Gong Ye asked:
"Who could it be?"
"Isn't it easy? Just ask for it! β
Gong Ye was not at ease, and said quite worriedly:
"Second master, this is not a small matter, you are also a smart person, you don't know the stakes, right? Are they really independent, can our old brothers still hold on? Isn't this ground a mess? β
As if he had done something wrong, the second master nodded again and again:
"Yes! Yes! Let me ask clearly! I teach him a lesson! Teach him a lesson with family law! Really, I want to turn the sky upside down! β
Gong Ye said again:
"Okay, second master, I'll leave the fuss to you, you have to ask clearly anyway. I have to go first, hurry back to make arrangements, I heard that the Beijing committee has arrived in the county seat, saying that twenty or thirty people have come, and they are coming to our town this afternoon, I have to block them in the middle of the road, let them listen to our meaning first, take the initiative, second master, what do you think? β
"Hmm! Not! The second master was also very concerned about the affairs of the committee committee, and the second master was afraid that Gong Ye would make any more trouble, so he asked, "It's justβhow are you going to intercept it?" β
"It's easy, blocking the open land more than ten miles outside Tianjiapu, and the communication, don't use force - we can't use force against the committee in Beijing, right, second master? This is called a petition, isn't it fashionable to petition right now? β
The second master nodded again and again:
"Good! Good! Gongye, if you think so, I will rest assured! You can't use force! Our Tianjiapu always stresses benevolence and righteousness, and we must not blindly come nonsense, so that the committee members in Beijing look down on us! It is better for the petitioners to let them bring whatever they want, and put on a scary posture, or the same sentence, to 'move people with sorrow'! β
After Gong Ye ate two grains of iron sand, he was much more careful, in order to show his prudence, and even more to show his respect for the second master, so he pretended to be melancholy and said to the second master:
"Second master, are you thinking about whether such a petition will work?"
"Tube! Why doesn't it work?! There have been things like blocking the Qin and stopping the royal car since ancient times, and now it's the Republic of China again, what's the big deal about blocking the committee group? ! β
The second master is very magnificent, like a big man.
"Good! Then I'll go back and arrange it! β
Gong Ye took his leave.
The second master sent Gong Ye out of the door, said goodbye to Gong Ye, and after Gong Ye and his party walked a long way, he slowly turned around and went back to the room to sit down.
The heavy buttocks were firmly placed on the Taishi's chair, and the second master wanted to open his mind. The second master can't ignore Tian's troubles, this is a rebellion and rebellion, no matter what? It's just that the second master has to figure out a discipline method. The family law is not good, this seems that the second master is too horizontal and too intolerable; Moreover, the family law may not be able to discipline this evil seed who is not afraid of death. The second master has to fight with this evil seed, and he has to use some soft and hard means to take this evil seed down at once from the inside out! This little hair is still very tender, he knows what to do, his head is filled with sorghum flower seeds and grains a few years ago; In the past few years, how much water can be used to install black charcoal and gangue face? Independence, phew! I'm not afraid of outsiders laughing off their big teeth! If this incident goes out, he will not only lose his own face, but also lose the face of the second master! How much face does the second master have to make him lose it!
Naturally, you have to reason with this evil seed, the second master is not the kind of unreasonable person, the second master thinks that his reasoning scum alone is enough to convince three or even five fields to make trouble!
The second master instructed his subordinates to spread the field to make a fuss, and the second master spoke very majestically: If you find the edge of the sky, you have to find Tian Dahao, and you have to tie Tian Dahao with a rope!
When it was almost time for lunch, a big fuss came, not tied up, but very actively.
The fuss was not reported by anyone, and with a flattering smile, he timidly stepped outside the door of the hall where the second master and the second master entered the courtyard, and called out very respectfully:
"Second master!"
The second master pretended not to hear.
The second old man's face was facing the door and he was sitting majestically on the Taishi chair next to the table of the Eight Immortals reading a hand-copied thread-bound "Book of Rites", the second master's body was very tight, his thighs were on his legs, his black coat with dark flowers covered the top of his feet, and the hem of the coat swayed slightly with the swing of his toes. The second master did not squint, and his two dim eyes only stared at the book in his hand, which covered most of the second master's fat face.
"Second master!"
He screamed timidly and timidly, and because of his lack of courage, his voice was a few degrees lower than just now, and he already carried a bit of repentance.
The second master still pretended not to hear.
The second master seems to have finished reading the "Book of Rites", or he is tired of reading it, or he can't read it at allβwho knowsβthe second master put the "Book of Rites" heavily on the table of the Eight Immortals, and then picked up another hand-copied and bound copy of "Mencius" from the table of the Eight Immortals, flipped a few pages with his hands, and read it, his two eyes did not look out of the door at all, as if he did not know that Tian Dahao existed.
The second old man shook his head and read "Mencius", and the braid at the back of his head dragged on the back of the Taishi's chair and swayed leisurely, like a dancing snake.
"Mencius saw King Hui of Liang: The king said: "Suo has come from thousands of miles away, and there will be a kingdom of Eliwu......"
The second master's voice is good, loud, full, mellow, from the dantian, with a strong charm.
The second master is very knowledgeable! The second master likes to read, and prefers to copy books by himself, which is famous in Tianjiapu. When the second master reads or copies books, he is not allowed to be disturbed, and Tian Dahao knows.
But it's not good to always stand outside the door. It's too bad to always stand outside the door. Although the second master is the second master, Tian Dahao is still Tian Dafu after all, and now he wants to be the leader of the potter, and it is not like a word to timidly guard the door for the second master!
Da Hao finally glanced at the second master, and saw that the second master still ignored his existence, so he turned around and prepared to pull his legs - not to slip away, but to avoid it first, and wait for the second master to finish reading, and then come to see the second master.
The second master misunderstood.
The second master found out from the gap in the page that he was making a fuss, and a cloud of anger suddenly arose in his heart! Sure enough, as expected, the bones of this evil seed have hardened, and they dare to ignore the existence of the second master! The second master decided that it was Tian Dafu who ignored his existence!
The second master put "Mencius" on the table heavily, and snorted heavily in his round and large nostrils.
Tian Da turned his sweaty face in a panic and called out sweetly:
"Second master!"
"Hmm!"
It's still a sound from the round, large nostrils.
"Second master, do you always call me?"
"Hmm!"
The breath in that nostril came out again.
crossed the threshold with great amusement and stood in front of the second master. He didn't dare to sit, the second master didn't let him sit, he couldn't sit.
The corners of the second master's mouth turned to the low bench leaning against the wall, and motioned to sit down, but he still didn't spit out a word in his mouth.
Silence can be an expression of contempt and, more importantly, the majesty of the silent. The second master understands. It's not the first time that the second master has played this hand.
He obediently sat down on the low bench that the second master had prepared for him, and looked up at the second master with a slight raised face. The second master put the Taishi chair and didn't let him sit on the low bench, which conclusively shows that the second master did not treat him equally, let alone regarded him as a potter leader! With the "enlightenment" given to him by Liu Yihua, he thought very boldly: I have to compete with the second master today.
The second master began to drink tea, holding a fist-sized gold-painted fine porcelain teacup on one hand, and holding the teacup lid in the other hand and constantly plucking the tea leaves floating on the water, it took a sip for a long time.
There was silence for a while.
Tian Da couldn't hold back, and said cautiously:
"Is there something wrong with the second master looking for me?"
The second master slowly swallowed the tea in his mouth, put the tea cup on "Mencius", estimated that the atmosphere had almost been created, and finally slowly opened his mouth:
"What's a fuss, you're not small, huh?! Supposedly, it's time to talk about the daughter-in-law, why is the director still like a child?! Tell me yourself, what kind of mess have you stabbed me in the past two days? β
Tian Dahao was confused by the second master all of a sudden, and hurriedly stood up - he stood up and the second master who was sitting on an equal footing again, and was as tall again:
"Second master, where do you start? Fuck me, I ...... When did I poke the mess? β¦β¦β
"Sit! Sit down and speak! Hold your horses! β
The second master did not allow the situation of equality to exist, and with a wave of his hand, he destroyed the equality that made a big fuss. Dafu sat down on the low bench again:
"Second master, who is talking nonsense in front of your old man again? Holy shit, this ...... Isn't this a trampling? β
At this time, he had already guessed what it was for, but he still pretended to be confused, he thought that he was very smart, and the second master didn't catch him anyway!
Sure enough, the second master got to the point:
"Hide it from me! You bastard is hiding it from me! Well? Tell you, it's not your second master and I'll stop you today, Hu Gongye, they have to skin you alive! You've got into a big disaster, do you know? What are you doing? I also want to get rid of Gong Ye and the second master, you see how capable you are, you can go to heaven?! β
The second master grabbed the thread-bound book on the table of the Eight Immortals in his hand and trembled:
"What do you know? How many sage books have you read, how many big characters do you recognize? What are you crazy about?! β
"Second master, I'm really ...... True...... Fuck ......."
The fuss was sweaty, anxious like a monkey, he wanted to argue, but he couldn't tell it, the second master didn't give him a chance to argue at all, and only cared about the lesson:
"There is such a big thing on the ground of Tianjiapu, and the matter has come to this point, you don't dare to be as crazy as you even if you are the second master! I also have to take one step and look at two steps, and I also have to pay attention to everything and care everywhere! What am I trying to do? What benefits do I want to reap? Isn't it all for you? Gong Ye and I are the elders of two families on the ground, and there is such a big thing happening on the ground, so we don't care who cares? You can manage it, you potters can manage it?! Bastards are unfilial, you really don't have a conscience! Second master, I am so old, for the affairs of our Tian family, for the affairs of our ground, running around the world, my heart is broken, my legs are broken, and I fall ......"
The second master said that he was sad, and he couldn't talk anymore, his dim eyes were red and wet, and they were faintly covered with tears.
The fuss completely collapsed, and the idea of competing with the second master had long been thrown to the "Java country", and he was also a little moved, and he became more and more reluctant to admit it:
"Second master, this ...... What's going on here? Holy shit, this ...... Where did this come from......?"
The second master insisted that Tian Dahao must admit his account. The second old man rubbed his eyes, and asked unyieldingly:
"Say, tell me everything, what have you been doing in the past two days? Who said something to you in the back? Who did you find and what did you say? β
After thinking about it, I felt that it was necessary to confess Liu Yihua, but after thinking about it, no, confessing Liu Yihua is equivalent to confessing myself, and I can't confess!
"Second master, wronged! This must be a rumor created by the bastard of the Hu family! Second master, it's not a thing to make a fuss, it's messing with the people of the Hu family, put ...... Give Hu Fuxiang's daughter to ...... Get ...... Got a big belly......"
In a hurry, another thing was summoned!
As soon as the words came out, I made a fuss and regretted it, and the second master would never tolerate this kind of thing! Intuitively, however, the fuss felt that it might be less sinful than attempting rebellion.
Sure enough, the second old man was stunned and didn't say anything for a long time, but later, he stood up and scolded the big fuss with a trembling body:
"Seed! Only...... What kind of independence do you have to make with such a sinister species, phew! Lose face! Lose the people of our Tian family! Lose our ancestors! Second master, how do I admonish you on weekdays? Did you listen to it? Yes? With your virtue, will the brothers go with you? Alas! Alas! The style of the Tian family has corrupted you disloyal and unfilial evil seeds! Ancestors and ancestors, my Tian Dongyang didn't have the ability to teach such a bunch of unsuccessful things! Alas! Alas......"
The second old man burst into tears and looked up to the sky and sighed.
Dahao was frightened, Dahao had never seen the second master so emotional and sad, so he was so sad for the second master, and he already knew how serious his sins were! For a while, I remembered the many benefits of the second master, and I felt more and more sorry for the second master:
"Second master, second master, I...... It's not a thing to make a fuss in my field! I...... I'm sorry for you, second master! β
"Plop", and knelt down in front of the second master with a big fuss:
"Second master, you ...... You've spared me this time! β
The second master took out a small handkerchief from his arms and wiped away the tears on his face, and firmly put his butt on the Taishi chair, and said calmly but stubbornly:
"Say, who is behind your back?"
Loud and tenacious:
"Nope! This is really wrong! Second master, you can always visit ......"
The second master has no choice - at least there is no way in front of him.
The second master thought about it for a while, and also realized his success: Tian Dafu, who was not afraid of heaven and earth, did not dare to admit that there was such a rebellious thing, which showed that he had lost! He didn't even dare to admit an account, what kind of rebellion did he dare to make?! It seems that Gong Ye is really a little worried, maybe it is really someone from the Hu family who is framing Tian Da and making trouble!
The second master didn't ask any more questions, sighed and said:
"Wow, if there is really no such thing, I won't ask the second master, but I still have to advise you a few words: Our Tian family always talks about benevolence and conscience, and those things that are unkind, unjust, disloyal and unfilial, we can't do it anyway!"
"Yes! Yes! Second master! β
"You stand up!"
The big fuss stood up honestly.
"Sit on the bench!"
The fuss honestly sat down on the low bench again.
The second master was silent for a while, feeling that it was necessary to teach him a good lesson and make a big fuss, so that he could completely dispel the idea of independence. So, the second master spoke a lot to the big trouble very emotionally, starting from the third generation of the Tian family, until today, and in the process of telling, he also quoted many words of the sages and ancient saints, which solidly proved the loyalty of the Tian family from generation to generation. Finally, the second master said:
"Hey, the people's hearts are not ancient at the moment, the world is muddy, I heard that some foreign students in the capital don't even want Sage Kong, what else is this? The capital can do this, but our Tianjiapu can't do this! Our descendants of the Tian family especially can't do this, the king is the king, the minister is the minister, the father is the father, the son is the son, this program often can't collapse! The program often collapses, and the world will not be what it is! β
I didn't understand it, and I didn't want to hear it, but I pretended to understand it very well and was addicted to it, and I kept nodding my head.
The big trouble also thought that he had achieved a brilliant victory, the second master was blinded by him, and no longer asked about any independent matters, he kept his friend Liu Yihua, and kept himself - he believed that if he confessed to Liu Yihua, the second master would not give up with Liu Yihua.
The second master later asked about the big trouble and the little fifth son of the Hu family. Naturally, the second master did not approve of the marriage between the Hu and Tian families, but the matter had come to this point, and the second master was also very embarrassed, and now the second master and Hu Gongye had formed an alliance again, so after the second master scolded the big trouble, he still recognized this family business.
This moved Dahao again, and Dahao took the opportunity to plead:
"Second master, since your old man has approved this family business, I also want to ask you to talk to Gong Ye, so that the elders of the Hu family can also raise their noble hands, and it will be difficult for the little fifth son to ......"
The second master nodded, and said magnanimously:
"Yes! Yes! I'm going to talk to Gong Ye! Otherwise, your little life will have to be sent to the hands of the Hu family sooner or later! β
I wanted to talk about my grievances for not becoming the head of the regiment, and I also wanted to tell the second master about some other things, but the second master was already hungry and had no energy, so he stopped talking about it. In the end, the second master stayed at home to have a light meal - naturally, Dahao was not qualified to serve on the table, he ate with the descendants of the Tian family. The meal was not bad, white flour pancakes, scrambled eggs, and a large plate of pork head meat. The big fuss was very delicious, and after eating, he obeyed the order of the second master and took a group of people to petition the Gongye together.
This time, the belly of the fuss was mixed with some oil and water, and the head was also loaded with some thoughts, and he was good at knowledge. Not bad, not bad, very good! It's a pity that all the "enlightenment" that Liu Yihua gave to make a fuss was finished, and it was all confiscated by the second master......
Walking out of the gate of Tianfu, Tian Dafu, the leader of the potters, made a burp with the smell of pig hair......
After all, Hu Gongye and Tian Er are not immortals who can manipulate everything, after all, they can't hold every potter firmly in the palm of their hands. Their position was firm among the Hu and Tian families, but it was not so firm for the Hakka potters from Shandong and Henan. These guest potters turned out to be self-contained, and did not participate in the conflict between the Hu and Tian families, and there was no leader among them, in fact, they were scattered. After the disaster, they launched five representatives of the potters, participated in the delegation of the potters of Gongye and the second master, and arranged the guest potters into two regiments according to the instructions of the Gongye, one of which was headed by Wang Dongling, the leader of the No. 12 cabinet worker, and the other group was headed by Qian Shouyi, the representative of the No. 8 cabinet potter.
The guest potters had their own leaders, and they invisibly formed a third force in addition to the Hu and Tian families, and it was a force that could not be ignored. With the powerful force composed of these two thousand people, the guest potters have some impulsive thoughts, and they have less respect for Hu Gongye and Tian Erye, they feel that they should also elect one or two people to be equal to Hu Gongye and Tian Erye, and they don't want to obey Gongye and Second Master Tian in everything.
At this time, Liu Yihua, a reporter from Minxin Daily, encouraged them to be independent; At this time, Tian Dahao found Wang Dongling and Qian Shouyi to discuss getting rid of the control of Gongye and the second master, Wang Dongling and Qian Shouyi naturally agreed, and immediately put it into action. Of course, Wang Dongling and Qian Shouyi never thought that Tian Dahao would eat the pig's head meat of Tian Er's master.
Only one of the two regiments of the Hakka potters was engaged in the operation of occupying the mine, and the other regiment was still firmly stationed in the kiln shop as a reserve force to be dispatched. At noon, Gong Ye sent two descendants of the Hu family to inform Wang Dongling and Qian Shouyi, asking them to pull out the five teams of this regiment to participate in the afternoon petition activities. And repeatedly warned them not to bring any guys, to petition peacefully, and to block the road and shout grievances, just like stopping the royal car.
At that moment, Wang Dongling discussed with Qian Shouyi, and the first question was: To go or not to go? The second question is: how to get there? Again, the question is: who did you go to listen to?
On these three issues, the two leaders came to the same opinion: to go, it is necessary to go, this is not to obey Hu Gongye's dispatch, but to avenge the death of the workers, to show the strength of the potters themselves - in the clash in the square of the official building, three guest potters were also killed and ten were injured. The guest potters have long been unable to hold back the anger in their hearts, and they have long been going to settle accounts with this harmful **! How to get there? Gong Ye proposed not to bring a guy, and the two leaders agreed that they had to bring a guy, which was their independence; Gong Ye didn't let them bring them, but they wanted to bring them, didn't this show their independent spirit? Whom do you listen to in action? In fact, there is no need to ask, they don't care about the affairs of the Hu and Tian families, and the guest potters must listen to their two leaders!
After the arrangement was made, Gong Ye sent someone to call again. At two o'clock in the afternoon, Wang Dongling and Qian Shouyi poured out of the town with four or five hundred people, and Gongye with four or five hundred people, and rushed westward along the embankment of the ancient Yellow River.
Gong Ye sat in a sedan chair, Gong Ye sat on the sedan chair and seemed to see a little sign of something, and felt that something was wrong, he saw that the guest potters were holding guys in their hands, with big knives, mine axes, muskets, and wooden sticks.
Gongye sent someone to find Wang Dongling and Qian Shouyi, and asked:
"What's going on? What's going on? Didn't you say, don't bring the guys! Why did you bring all the guys? β
Wang Dongling and Qian Shouyi also brought guys. Wang Dongling brought a mining axe and pinned it to his waist; Qian Shouyi brought a big knife, the blade was slanted into the belt behind his back, and the red silk on the handle of the knife flickered and flickered.
Wang Dongling knew that Gong Ye would ask, he had already discussed it with Qian Shouyi, and now he couldn't fall out with Gong Ye and the second master, and the spirit of independence had to be hidden in the bones, not on his face.
Wang Dongling said: "Gong Ye, I discussed it with Brother Qian, and I feel that I am afraid that it will not work without a guy!" What if the GIs shoot? β
"Yes! Gong Ye, I wanted to discuss it with you, but we were too anxious, so we didn't have time! Qian Shouyi also said.
"Nonsense! Monkey business! This is peace...... Peace petition, do you understand? Bring the guys, and don't you scare the members of the committee half to death? β
Wang Dongling smiled: "I'm scared, wow!" Gongye, don't be afraid, they won't agree to our conditions! β
Gong Ye thought about it, this is not unreasonable; Besides, the team has been pulled out, and the guy in his hand can't be shaken off, let's go, which step counts as it goes!
"Let's go! Walk! Let's go! However, it's not good to come to Hu when the time comes, everything has to listen to Gongye me! β
Wang Dongling said: "That's! Is that! β
The mighty procession continued to move forward, and after walking for a while, the team was chaotic, and the guest potters and the potters of the Hu and Tian families were mixed together, and the laughter, fighting, and mixed footsteps were mixed together, bringing a hustle and bustle to the vast wilderness.
It was not like a peaceful petition procession, but rather a wolf-fighting team, with no small flags or slogans, but a lot of knives, guns and clubs. In fact, Gong Ye has never held a peace petition, and he doesn't know what the petition is all about, but in recent years, there have been more petitions, why do students in Beijing petition for "all the ways", and why do the people in the provincial capital also petition for the "all the ways", so Gong Ye knows that there is still a "petition" in the world, and he also feels that he has to handle one or two "petitions" in the world to show his greatness. Therefore, Gongye also "petitioned". Gong Ye knew from the mouth of the second master: the petition is actually to stop the royal driver.
After walking for an hour on the railway line, about seven or eight miles away, the petition team came to a small village at the foot of Horseshoe Mountain.
Gongye ordered stones to be moved to the railroad to stop the advance of the small train.
Wang Dongling disagreed, and Wang Dongling had his own "independent" views.
Wang Dongling said: "Gongye, the stone can't be moved, the big stone can't be moved, and the small stone can't be blocked, let's just cut off the track in two, pick up the track, and the small train won't be able to run." β
Gong Ye thinks no.
Gong Ye said: "Nonsense! It's nonsense again! If you pick up the railway, won't the little train derail? Wouldn't it be a rollover if you derailed? Wouldn't a car overturn kill someone? Doesn't a dead person make a big deal? What else is this called a peace petition? β
Gong Ye is reasonable. Gong Ye has a heartbeat.
Wang Dongling is also reasonable, and Wang Dongling is also vibrant:
"Gong Ye, if you pick up the railway, it doesn't necessarily overturn, and if you pick up the railway, we can put it on again; Besides, we can also block the train and prevent it from going; You can't die! If you block it with a stone, I'm afraid you won't be able to block it. β
Gong Ye didn't listen, this time he couldn't be reckless, he had to be cautious. This time it was not to deal with the company's bastards, but to "receive" the committee group from Beijing, the committee group is the representative of the highest organ, and there is simply no room for reconciliation if they fall out, and Gong Ye can't make an unexpected change.
Wang Dongling and Qian Shouyi had to tenaciously show their independent spirit and insisted on picking up the railway, Gong Ye said that a thousand ways were not allowed, and the two sides had a heated dispute, and finally, Gong Ye began to curse......
While there was a commotion, there was a sudden sound of horses' hooves, and a young man in household costume passed through the chaotic crowd, rode his horse to the front of Gong Ye, grabbed the reins and turned over and dismounted:
"Gong Ye! Gongye! β
Gong Ye recognized it, this young man is a subordinate of Mr. Ji's family, the president of the Ningyang Chamber of Commerce, Gong Ye has seen it, he has been ordered by Mr. Ji to Tianjiapu a few times, but Gong Ye forgot his name:
"Hmm! It's you? Good! Good! Is there something wrong? β
The young man hurriedly said:
"Gong Ye, my master Ji asked me to report to you, the committee no longer takes the small train, it has been changed again, and it has been changed to a sedan chair, and the town guard Zhang Guixin has made some sedan chairs from nowhere......"
Wang Dongling was stunned and said to Gong Ye:
"Gongye, has our petition been discovered?"
"Nope! No! The young man said, "There is no carriage for people to sit on the small train, the wagon for loading coal is too dirty, and there is no cover on it, so the committee members are unwilling to sit, so they changed the ......."
Gong Ye understood, and asked anxiously:
"Where's the current Commission?"
"It's only fifteen or sixteen miles from here! When I went out of the city, I saw their team on the avenue outside the city, and the town guard personally escorted them with many soldiers, sedan chairs, horses, and a large row, so majestic! β
Gong Ye waved his hand and immediately said:
"Let's go, go on the road, and intercept the road!"
Wang Dongling also agreed:
"That's right! Go to the main road and intercept it! β
The railway line at the foot of the Horseshoe Mountain is at least a few miles away from the Huangni Avenue leading to Tianjiapu in the county seat, and the petitioners did not dare to slack off, so they hurriedly turned around and hurriedly crossed the ridges and ditches to rush up the avenue.
In May, the fields are full of golden, and the wheat that is about to ripen is blown by the breeze, and the waves are undulating, like a ripe sea, a surging sea. The air of the wilderness wafted with the dampness of the earth and the smell of new wheat, which made the people in the middle of it feel a sense of pleasure. These people who originally belonged to the land got close to the long-lost land, and they seemed to have become authentic croppers in this short moment, and they evaluated every piece of land that they stepped on with the eyes of the croppers and the psychology of the croppers, and evaluated the harvest that did not belong to them.
"This place is so good, a handful of oil, you can grow a baby with ** poke and poke!"
"Yes, look at this wheat, it looks fucking wicked, like a fort! In the early years, we didn't grow such a color! β
"Damn, if Lao Tzu has money, he will never go to the kiln again, he has to get a few acres of land to plant, people will coax people, and the land will not coax people; If you have good land, are you afraid that there will be no good harvest? β
Gong Ye sat on the sedan chair, and out of the corner of his eye, he saw a group of men probing their bodies into the sea of wheat, rudely and retaliatingly, picking up a bunch of wheat ears, rubbing them in their big hands and stuffing them into their mouths with the wheat husks.
Gong Ye couldn't help but feel some emotion in his heart. Who does not love the land, O farmer, and does not like the harvest of the land? Isn't the decades-long bloody war between his Hu family and the Tian family just for the land? At that time, before Zeng Wenzheng fairly divided the acres of land, the Hu family's land was pulled from the Yellow River embankment of Tianjiapu to the foot of the Horseshoe Mountain, and the land flowing in front of it originally belonged to their Hu family; Later, half of the people of the Tian family were occupied; Later, kilns were opened on the ground, and many of the fields became kiln fields. When the Dahua Company opened a mine, many of the ground collapsed into small watery waters...... It's unbearable to look back, it's unbearable to look back! Gong Ye sometimes can't figure it out, what the hell is going on? Why is the world not as good as ever? Gong Ye couldn't help but resent the evil Dahua Company. Gong Ye is a staunch localist, and has always believed that Li Shicheng from Tianjin has his own water and soil, his world, why do he have to go to Tianjiapu to open a mine? The water and soil of this Tianjiapu do not belong to him! This fertile land belongs to him Hu Gongye, to Tian Erye, and to these bankrupt croppers in front of him. Gong Ye felt that he, like these bankrupt croppers, had suffered from the company, and if the company did not go bankrupt, sooner or later he would go bankrupt......
Gong Ye thought of the problem of cutting wheat. In another ten or eight days, the wheat will be cut, Gong Ye thought, this year's wheat labor is not a problem, the company is no longer producing, the potters have no work, the wage of short-term workers will not rise, Gong Ye can save a few dollars. It's just that I'm afraid that I won't be able to get out of my body at that time, and Gong Ye will have to lead the potters to negotiate with the company and the bastards! Gong Ye must not patronize himself......
Gong Ye was moved by his nobility......
The road on the ridge is not easy to walk, and thousands of people are crowded on a few ridges and can't go fast, and the whole team is sparsely pulled, and there is about a mile of road with the head and tail. It took about half an hour to get to the main road. Because Gong Ye was sitting in a sedan chair, he walked even slower, and was almost pulled at the end of the line......
Under the leadership of Wang Dongling and Qian Shouyi, the thousand-handed people just rushed onto the main road and collided head-on with the sedan chair team of the committee member's group. Zhang Guixin, Zhang Heran, and a few retinues rode horses on both sides of the sedan chair team, and the whole team was like a fancy hundred-legged worm, and the hundred-legged worm touched the flood-like flow of petitioners, and it was suddenly chaotic.
The members of the committee did not expect the potters to come to this hand, and they were not mentally prepared; Moreover, seeing that the potters who rushed over were menacing with knives, axes, and sticks, and did not know that this was called a "petition", Mr. Wang Ruotang, a member of the petition committee of the House of Representatives of the National Assembly, gave a very unwise order to Zhang Guixin, the town guard:
"Brigade Commander Zhang, hurry! Blocked! Blocked! Stop these rioters, let's go back to the city! β
The town guard made Zhang Guixin both shocked and annoyed. Shocked, he did not expect that the potters would be so bold and dare to block the road to attack the committee in Beijingβthe town guard did not know that this was called a "petition"; Annoyed, the potters greatly wiped his face with this move, he was the town guard of Ningyang, the highest military and political governor in this place, didn't the potters conclusively show his incompetence? A good piece of land for him to govern like this, what will the committee members say about him when they arrive in the capital? His bright future is over! If there is another good guy and he buries the life of a committee member, it will be even more difficult for him to escape the blame!
The town guard made the lord break out in a cold sweat, his mind was not so calm, he hurriedly drew his pistol, fired two shots into the air, and shouted hoarsely:
"Running in the back, quick! Quickly meet the second and third rows in front, resist, resist! β
The town guard himself took the lead, and rushed over to the potters who rushed over; rushed two steps, and then turned back to the county governor Zhang Heran and explained:
"Quick, you take the commissioners back!"
This time, the town guard was not polite, he lay on his horse and took the lead in shooting at the potters who rushed over, and then, more than a hundred soldiers also opened fire, and the potters who rushed to the head immediately fell down - the dead and wounded were killed, and the dead and wounded were lying on the ground and did not dare to move. Qian Shouyi was killed by the first shot that came to his head, and Wang Dongling was almost injured.
A fierce battle broke out in the wilderness.
The potters returned fire without any orders, and those with steel guns leaned down on the ground and pulled the trigger, and those with muskets loaded with iron sand and bombarded the GIs in front of them. In a moment, the land wafting with the fragrance of wheat was filled with a strong ** smell.
Gong Ye was in a hurry, Gong Ye wanted to stand up to stop this bloody conflict, as soon as he stepped on the avenue, he hurriedly jumped off the sedan chair, pushed aside the potters who were blocking the way, and shouted to the soldiers:
"Don't ...... Don't shoot! Other...... Don't fight! We are...... We are here to petition......"
The sound of gunfire and shouts drowned out the call of Gongye, and the soldiers could not hear it at all.
Gong Ye was in a cold sweat, ran a few steps forward tremblingly, and tried to shout again, but the soldiers still didn't hear it, and still lay on the ground and shot this way. Most of the potters around him retreated to the dry mud ditch under the road, and the bullets flew like locusts around them.
Gong Ye is not afraid of death on weekdays, but at this time, he is also a little scared, a little afraid of death, he pouted his ass in the mud ditch and lay on his stomach for a while; Thinking about it and feeling unsafe, the bullet whizzed across his scalp, hitting the dust around him, if there was a bullet that didn't have a long eye and got into Gong Ye's brain, Gong Ye couldn't bear it. So, Gong Ye put a sedan chair next to him to the movable wall in front of him to block the gun, and then quietly moved into the wheat field, and when he moved to the wheat field, he still felt that it was not good, and climbed forward along the wheat ridge, until he climbed behind an old grave before he took a long breath, and gradually returned to normal.
"Quick! Show me the front, what's going on? How did the fight start? Gong Ye ordered the family again in the tone of a leader.
The family left in response and did not come back for a long time.
At this time, Wang Dongling also retreated from the road to the wheat field, he realized the seriousness of the problem, and knew that if he continued to fight like this, the potters would suffer; The potters had too few steel guns and muskets to resist the bullets of the soldiers, and the only way to achieve the goal of the peaceful petition was to catch a few committee members and block the guns. Wang Dongling immediately called some potters around him, used the undulating wheat waves as a cover, and outflanked the back road of the committee with his waist bent.
Most of the members of the committee were so frightened that they abandoned the sedan chair and fled, and there were many red, red, green, and green sedan chairs on the east and west on the potholed and uneven road. Wang Dongling led a group of people to chase after him, and after chasing for a short distance, he caught an old man with a broken foot and neck on the side of the road, and immediately put him in the wheat field......
After fighting for a while, the town guard reminded the adults of the safety of the committee members, so they ordered to fight and retreat, and finally, they met with the committee members on a small stone bridge. After the rendezvous, the number of people was counted, and there was one less master, this master was extraordinary, he was none other than Mr. Wang Ruotang, the head of the committee group.
The town guard made the lord's face pale with fright, and ordered the soldiers to fight back for the second time.
Fierce gunfire rang out again......
During the second round of gunfights between the two sides, Wang Ruotang, a member of the petition committee who had been taken prisoner, had been subdued by Wang Dongling. Wang Dongling poked his finger into the old gentleman's nose and scolded silently:
"Bastard! We are petitions! It's a petition! Do you understand? More than 1,000 of our brothers died under the kiln, expecting you to administer justice, but you shot at Lao Tzu! β
The old gentleman nodded straight:
"Yes! Yes! I know it's a petition! This is a complete misunderstanding! Misunderstand! Your requirements are to be considered, they are to be considered! β
"Then you hurry up and go back and talk to Zhang Guixin, tell them not to fight, let's have a good talk!"
"Yes! OK! β
Under the guidance of the spirit of independence, Wang Dongling took it upon himself to release the members of the committee.
Seeing the missing commissioner emerge from the wheat field again, the GIs stopped attacking.
However, Wang Dongling was deceived by the committee members. As soon as the committee member returned to the soldiers, he no longer wanted to talk about anything with Wang Dongling, and a group of old men walked back under the cover of the soldiers.
The confused petition ended in such a daze, looking at the dead and injured kiln workers lying on the yellow mud road, Wang Dongling's eyes rolled out of tears, and he suddenly realized: It is not so easy to really take charge of the potters independently, and he is responsible for today's affairs......
He hugged Qian Shouyi's corpse and cried bitterly.
At this time, Gong Ye stood up from the wheat field and came scolding......
