Chapter 50: Firewood
The patrol officers were almost driven out of the patrol bureau, and they looked at each other, still puzzled by Zheng Fuli's previous orders.
But they didn't dare to evaluate Shangguan's decision-making in front of many colleagues, so they had to secretly slander in their hearts.
The patrol bureau is located in the bustling city, there are dozens of patrols standing at the gate, it is very eye-catching, the pedestrians on the road are coming and going, and these passers-by have cast strange eyes on the big chongguan who is standing in front of the patrol bureau.
After an embarrassing silence, several headhunters discussed the result in a low voice:
"That'...... In that case, let's do what the director wants, and each of us will go to a different area of the city and disperse with our men. ”
These middle-aged catchers had reluctant smiles on their faces and beckoned their subordinates to leave.
A team of patrol teams went to the dock area, and the head catcher who took the lead walked forward with his head down, and the dozen or so patrolmen behind him did not speak, and the atmosphere was very strange.
"Have you eaten any of the brothers?"
The middle-aged head catcher who was walking in front suddenly turned around and asked questions about his brothers.
The patrolmen were a little confused, but they answered the questions of their superiors anyway.
"Nope."
"I was going to eat."
The bottom patrol has to patrol every day, and the work is very hard, and when it comes to meals, they may not be able to eat on time.
The head catcher knew this, and waited for this answer, and he immediately said:
"Since the brothers are hungry, we will carry out the director's order later, find a clean shop, I will treat you, and the brothers will go and fill in the temple of the five organs first."
These hungry low-level patrolmen suddenly perked up, smiled happily, and replied one after another:
"Okay!"
"Head wise!"
"Thank you, head!"
Everyone found a traditional restaurant in Zhuxia nearby, and did not go to the private room, in the greeting of the shopkeeper nodding and bowing, they directly found two large tables in the lobby and sat apart, ordered good dishes, and more than a dozen dishes with meat and vegetables were quickly served.
The patrolmen were really hungry at this time, and they immediately devoured it.
After a quarter of an hour, everyone had drunk three rounds and eaten five flavors, and they lazily leaned back in their chairs, and were silent for a while.
After leading the team to catch the head and see that the brothers were full of wine and food, they clapped their hands, and after "popping" twice, the patrolmen turned their heads to look at their superiors, and saw that the middle-aged catcher with a frosty face beckoned, and everyone leaned over in understanding.
"Brothers, we will patrol this dock area normally later, don't mess with those people, don't mess with those people, and don't care what they say, just act as if you don't know anything and nothing happened."
The old catcher, who had climbed up from the bottom, said his thoughtful conclusion, he glanced at his subordinates in front of him, and whispered:
"Anyway, the director ordered not only our team, but also Lao Wang and Lao Zhang. If we don't do it, there are others, brothers, don't talk too much, just don't know anything, go back to the patrol bureau later, and if the director asks, he will say that he has done everything he wants. ”
The mouth of the eater is soft, and no one in the crowd has much to say, and they all nod their heads.
This old catcher is an old fritter, and his attitude towards the boss's obviously abnormal orders is not to carry out or refuse, anyway, there are so many catchers who have accepted the order, and he is not one worse.
Not only did he make this decision, but the other catchers were all old fritters, and similar conversations occurred in several other teams of patrols, and these old fritters who had been officials for half their lives tacitly one by one, and they were ready to be mentally prepared not to be held accountable by the law.
Everyone took a break and left the store, and began to slowly patrol the streets to eat.
At first, it was no different from usual, but slowly they all felt a little weird, and some patrolmen couldn't help but ask:
"Head, how do I feel that people on the road look at us strangely?
Hearing this, the head catcher frowned slightly, and the low-level coachman and sailor in front of him, who were usually in awe of them, as well as the passers-by, glanced at them a few times, intentionally or unintentionally, and there was a lot of weirdness in their eyes.
His heart jumped, thinking of Zheng Fuli's strange order before, and hurriedly ordered his subordinates:
"Leave them alone, we'll act as if nothing happened."
Looking at the backs of the patrolmen dressed in black and carrying flintlock pistols and swords at their waists, the pedestrians on the street, as well as sailors and coachmen, immediately pointed at those great officials and whispered.
————
Jinmen Port, Xinhan Embassy, Yanhan Hall.
Chai Zhenye, who was wearing Western-style women's clothes, was standing in front of Han Liye and making a report:
"My lord, my subordinates have charmed Zheng Fuli, the director of the Patrol Bureau, and asked him to order his subordinates to patrol and go to the city to spread what the wolf barbarians have done to the Xia people, and tell the patrol not to interfere with the reaction of the people."
After listening to the middle-aged sorceress's words, he nodded with satisfaction:
"Counselor Chai, well done, although I don't know if those patrols will fully comply with the order, but even if they make them hesitate to the people in the future, even a little bit is good."
Chai Zhenye nodded yes.
At this moment, Li Changsheng walked into Yanhan Hall quickly, saluted Han Liye, and said quickly:
"Ambassador, the dark line we have planted in the city has been activated, and they are spreading the dirty things that the Great Chongguan Mansion has done in this Jinmen Port for so many years."
"Some of these dark lines are the chauffeurs and sailors in the docks, and the dark lines in the slums and commercial areas have also been activated."
Han Liye nodded, thought for a moment and asked:
"How's the business district going?"
Li Changsheng immediately replied:
"Back to my lord, although there are quite a few Xiazi merchants in the business district who have been seized by the wolf barbarian officials led by Sun Changsheng in this Jinmen Port, even if they are taken by skill, they still have some wealth."
"Most of those victims left Dachong by boat and moved to Xinhan, and now most of the shops in the business district with no overseas background are controlled by the Dachong government."
Han Liye nodded, the plan was going well, he should have been very excited, but after hearing this, he sighed and said:
"The wolf barbarians seized the industrial shops of those Xia merchants, and after that, the original workers and clerks of those industrial shops could only be replaced by those sent by officials."
"How innocent are those Xia compatriots? With no stable jobs, they have been relegated to the slums of the docklands to survive. ”
Thinking of those miserable Zhuxia compatriots, the middle-aged man was also a little depressed, looked at Li Changsheng and asked:
"They have almost nothing left, and if they know who the real source of their miserable life is, I am afraid that they will immediately turn against this wolf."
"The civilians of this Jinmen port have been turned into firewood under the perverse actions of this wolf barbarian, so Mars is ready?"
Da Chong can be said to have knocked out the bones and sucked the marrow of the Xia people under his rule, and some powerful wolf officials wantonly robbed the shops of private merchants, and it was even more traditional for warlocks to kill people and practice the law.
From the slums at the bottom to the dock area, countless Xia people live in poverty, and these people who have grievances against the Great Chongguan Mansion are firewood, and they are just a little spark away from breaking out into a blazing fire.
Li Changsheng immediately replied:
"Yes, my lord, I have already commanded, once the news of Sun Changsheng's assassination comes out, the dark line we have planted in the city will immediately beat the people's emotions and trigger a civil uprising!"
————
Jinmen Port, the port lord of Fuzhong.
At this time, it is only in the afternoon, the mansion of the port lord is full of green trees, the artificially dug stream is sparkling in the sun, the pavilions and pavilions are built along the water, and the strange flowers and stones are dotted in between.
Sun Changsheng, who was wearing a wolf's tail, had no intention of admiring the scenery, he was walking in a hurry with his wife and nephew Sun Guoping, and Sun Quan, a close confidant who had followed him for many years, followed several nobles step by step.
Around the four of them, there were more than a dozen guards dressed in black Western-style tweed clothes, with brown belts, and knives around their waists, holding flintlock pistols and scanning the surroundings vigilantly.
While everyone was walking, Sun Changsheng said majestically and loudly:
"You must remember that the five sorcerers of the Patrol Division are all dead, and the assassin who committed the murder has the ability to disguise himself and can turn into anyone you know, and now if anyone dares to approach, immediately raise a gun to warn, and if he dares to continue without warning, immediately shoot and kill!"
"What are the consequences, I'll carry it!"
A group of guards replied violently:
"Yes!"
These guards are all the sons of his Sun family, and the cronies of his cronies, any order to him, the contemporary head of the Sun family, no matter what it is, will be completed without discount.
In this Dachong officialdom, the Xia people can only be a petty official like a catcher at most, with a maximum of eight grades. All officials above the eighth rank must be born as wolf barbarians, and their ancestors followed the founding monarch of Dachong to fight the world when Dachong was not established.
In order to balance these frenzied evil warlocks, the founding monarch of Dachong promoted and reused a large number of mortals who followed the original team, so that they could balance the warlocks of the Yinshan desolate insects.
Over time, this group of people monopolized the official positions above the eighth rank in the Dachong officialdom, and because of their great power, these people have branched out to establish families.
These families are known as the Great Chong Aristocrats or the Wolf Barbarian Aristocrats by overseas countries.
The Sun family is one of them.
Everyone marched vigilantly all the way, and from time to time there were guards and servants on errand in the Hong Kong lord's mansion passing by, and they were immediately retreated by the Sun family's personal guards.
There was no danger all the way, and it didn't take long for Sun Changsheng to see the big house with white walls and black tiles not far ahead.
That's the garage where the steam cart is parked in the Lord's House.
The steam cars used by the government were all purchased from the United Kingdom of Abilee, the origin of the industrial revolution, and their workmanship performance was far from the goods on the supermarket.
Sun Changsheng immediately instructed the guards who were born in the family:
"Get in the car, and then go to the barracks outside the city immediately, the sooner the better!"
More than a dozen guards around him shouted in unison:
"Yes!"
Seeing that the destination was getting closer and closer, Sun Changsheng's steps became faster, his heart was mixed with fear and excitement, and his heart couldn't help but beat up.
Every time he thought that the five sorcerers of the Patrol Division had been killed by someone unknowingly, he felt a chill rise in his heart.
This assassin is so ferocious, within ten days, he kills secret agents, kills officials, and kills magicians.
Now, who knows if this new Han thief will come to kill him, a feudal official of the Great Chongsi Grade!
But he didn't dare to call more guards to protect him.
The assassin was obviously a warlock, with a disguise spell, and when there were many people, the assassin would easily blend in, and he would not know how he would die at that time.
At this moment, he suddenly heard the shouts of the guards beside him:
"The one who sweeps the floor, stand down immediately!"
His heart jumped, and he turned his head to see a thin young man dressed as a servant in a long robe sweeping the floor with a broom, and this man moved in their direction as he swept the floor.
The guards immediately raised their guns and aimed them at the young man and warned him loudly.
Seeing that this person was just a servant who could be seen everywhere in the Hong Kong Lord's Mansion, Sun Changsheng didn't care, turned around and continued to walk towards the garage.
But as soon as he had taken a few steps, an electric light flashed through his heart, and as if he felt that something was wrong, he stopped abruptly and turned his head to stare at the young man.
The young man of the Naxia tribe was dressed in a long robe, which was the standard dress for people doing manual work, which was not surprising, and Sun Changsheng did not pay attention to this.
He looked at the plain face of the young servant in a daze, looked at it carefully, and finally found something that made him feel abnormal:
The man's eyes were calm and indifferent, without the humility and deference of the noble person.
Sun Changsheng only felt a cold current blowing all over his body, and the cold sweat on his back instantly wet his underwear, and he shouted fiercely:
"Kill him!"
