When the chief of the ghost guy saw a large number of Chinese gathered outside the door, he immediately realized that something was wrong, called the police station for support, and then sent a Chinese affairs officer to negotiate. When the Chinese clerk walked out of the roller shutter door, a large number of flying stones smashed his head and face, breaking the clerk's head and bleeding, and fainting to the ground.

In a panic, the ghost man hurriedly stepped forward to pull the wounded back, and then closed the doors and windows.

But the continuous flying rocks smashed all the windows and smashed the office into a mess. The staff did not dare to show their heads, so they had to hide behind the wall and wait quietly for the police force to arrive. Fortunately, although the villagers were angry, they still kept their senses and did not immediately escalate the situation.

When Inspector Choi Siu-kwong arrived at the scene with more than 20 criminal policemen, more than 400 residents of the housing estate had gathered at the scene, most of whom were young and middle-aged, and there were many community members. But Inspector Cai was not afraid of danger, asked the detectives to be on guard with guns, guarded the office of the office, and then called the ghost chief at the door, took out a cigarette, and explained: "Don't be afraid, go out and talk to the villagers, and report the situation after the talk." ”

"No matter what the superior boss says, no matter how he does it, he will not blame the next officer."

"Thank you, Sir." The ghost chief was wearing a suit, sweat was dripping from his forehead, he looked very nervous, his fingers trembled and he held the cigarette, and when he saw Sir lighting a fire for him, he nodded gratefully, took a deep breath, and calmed down his good mood.

The head of the neighborhood affairs is not high-level, and he has a lot of oil and water, and he is often a good position for senior officials of the chief secretary for administration to install cronies and confidants.

The ability to do things may not be very strong, but it is certainly loyal to the Hong Kong government.

It is the tentacles of high-level decrees that extend to the grassroots.

"Go ahead."

"I'll watch it for you."

Cai Zhaoguang smiled at the corner of his mouth, patted him on the shoulder, and accompanied the ghost guy out with several subordinates.

"Apologies!"

"Return the flag!"

"TMD, even if we dare to pick up our national flag, we should really be caught and shot." A veteran of the former dynasty, a middle-aged man who was a black household on Hong Kong Island and in the mainland, raised his arms and shouted. For a while, the scene was very tense, and the high roar resounded through the housing village.

The ghost guy looked at the crowd and the sound rushed, his heart seemed to be two beats slower, his feet were soft, and his body instinctively retreated, but he pushed out the Chinese inspector behind him, and the Chinese inspector said, "Talk to the village gate." ”

"Oh."

The ghost guy swallowed two mouthfuls of saliva, opened his mouth, and still didn't know how to speak. Cai Zhaoguang had to raise his hand to signal everyone to stop, and the hundreds of people who were obviously extremely angry gradually calmed down after raising their arms.

Cai Zhaoguang raised his head and shouted: "Compatriots, villagers. ”

"If there is anything to sit down and talk calmly and slowly, the chief of affairs is standing here, unable to run away. You don't need to engage in such a big battle, do you? Sham Shui Po is my jurisdiction, and you should also look at the past and sell me two points of thin noodles. ”

"Sir Cai."

A dock worker in a white shirt with his arms bared stepped forward and said, "Ghost talk prohibits the celebration of Double 10, no events, and a curfew." No problem! The brothers obediently did so, but planted the flag on the roof and hung the badge on the wall. ”

"Is this a celebration?"

Cai Zhaoguang sighed: "The governor won't let it." ”

The laborer scolded: "The governor won't let you sleep with your wife, and you won't sleep either?" Double Ten is the birthday of the old mother, and the brothers celebrate what's wrong. The roof and walls of the building are the private property of the villagers, and they like to hang whatever they like. ”

"The Governor's orders are greater than the law!"

Cai Zhaoguang pushed the head of ghost affairs to the front again, and said in a low voice: "Sir, you should say a few words, hurry up and let the crowd disperse, there are more and more people, and the criminal police in Sham Shui Po can't stop it." It is not only Lee Cheng Uk Estate that has hung the flag in Sham Shui Po, and it is impossible to transfer all the troops. ”

At this time, behind the crowd, there were already members of the community passing sticks, weapons, and Molotov cocktails to each other. The ghost guy didn't see it from afar, but he also knew that there was no good thing waiting for him when he was crowded with people and exchanged ears. I wailed twice in my heart, and I had to step forward and say, "OK! ”

“OK！”

"I can return the confiscated flags and badges to you, and compensate the estates, and then make a case to the Governor on your behalf, and lift the curfew at night." He threw his arms high and shouted in out-of-tune Cantonese, "Can you spread out first to avoid causing chaos?" ”

"Sir's sincerity is already there."

Cai Zhaoguang acted as an intermediary and shouted: "It's good to return the flag and badge to you, hurry up and flash people, don't provoke Sir to find the British army to beat you!" When the time comes, my brothers who lead the police force will not be able to resist! ”

"Fuck you!" A young man threw a stone, directly broke the ghost guy's head, and shouted: "You want to plead your case? The brothers are right, they just want to hang flags, hang emblems, and hold celebrations! The devil's words don't count! ”

Cai Zhaoguang hurriedly raised his arm and shouted, "Stop!" ”

"Let's talk about it."

"Don't do it." Cai Zhaoguang firmly grasped the ghost guy's shoulder with his other hand, so as not to faint on the ground. While wiping the blood with his hands, the head of the ghost guy felt a pain in his head, full of fear, and desperately wanted to turn around and hide back in the office, but he was held by the Chinese detective, and he couldn't even use the strength to turn around.

Under the reprimand of the police officers, more than 500 Chinese people in housing estates suppressed their emotions. There was even a hint of pleading in the ghost's tone, and he said loudly: "What conditions do you have? Speak up, and I can help convey it to the Chief Secretary. ”

A man in his forties, with a resolute expression and a thoughtful face, picked up the crowd, as a representative, pointed to the ghost guy in the office and said: "Tell the ghost governor, first, let the ghost governor send a 100,000-head firecracker to celebrate the Double Tenth Festival, second, allow the whole Hong Kong building to hang the blue flag, badge, and Zhongshan statue, and third, as the representative of the Hong Kong government, you will publish an apology in the newspaper, and kneel down and kowtow to the flag and portrait to apologize." ”

"If you can't do one of these three conditions, they don't respect our national feelings, and the whole Hong Kong people will not make you feel better. That's right. If you don't want to see the blue flag, let's hang the red flag, in short, we Chinese want to hang our own flag, and we have to celebrate our own festival every year! Do you hear that? ”

The affairs ghost turned pale when he heard this, and he knew that the Hong Kong Governor's attitude was resolute, and he would never compromise with the Chinese, otherwise, what was the warning order issued by the Hong Kong Governor's Office? The prestige of the authorities will be greatly diminished and will be lost. But in the face of the strong threat of the representative of the housing estate, the ghost guy had to nod and said loudly: "Let me make a call." ”

The Chinese representative didn't speak, but Cai Zhaoguang hurriedly patted him on the shoulder and said, "Hurry up." ”

Cai Zhaoguang raised his hand, glanced at his watch, and saw that it was not early: "Compatriots, folks, the office calls to report, and it will take some time to get a reply. ”

"Ge Sir, the mass riot in Tai Po District, New Territories, was caused by the fact that the police found some people carrying dangerous goods on the streets, which caused chaos during the inspection. More than 300 people gathered on the street in Tai Po District and made two demands, the first was to let the customs release the criminals arrested last time, and the second was to lift the curfew, so that the villagers of Tai Po District would have a poon choi feast at night. ”

Doge's Palace.

Ge Hongliang was dressed as a very gentleman in a suit and a pocket watch, and when he heard hundreds of people gathered together, he was puzzled in order to eat a poon choi feast, and asked out loud: "If the poon choi feast is a custom in the New Territories and has nothing to do with the Double Ten event, then it can be allowed." ”

"As for getting the customs department to release the criminals, there is absolutely no way!"

Yi Fu put on a police uniform, tied his hands to his side, and replied loudly: "The villagers of the New Territories are holding a poon choi banquet for the Double 10 event, according to the report of the Intelligence Bureau, every year the New Territories will hold a poon choi banquet on Double 10, and the banquet fee is provided by Taiwan Island. ”

"Ge Sir, in the Troop area of Lee Cheng Uk Estate in Sham Shui Po, Kowloon, an illegal gathering incident occurred because two clerks removed the flags and badges hanging from the building, and more than 400 villagers surrounded the office at the scene."

"The Government Affairs Bureau called, and the Chinese people on the scene made three demands: first, to send a 100,000 firecracker in the name of the Governor's Palace, second, to allow all buildings in Hong Kong to hang blue flags, badges, and statues of Zhongshan, and third, to let the chief of the Tuzhi District publish an apology on behalf of the Hong Kong government, and kowtow to the flags and portraits to apologize." The Governor's secretary stepped on high heels and walked quickly into the office, reporting the situation in a concise language.

Ge Hongliang's expression froze instantly, and he had no emotion, and said indifferently: "Reject any requests made by the Chinese, let the riot forces prepare to suppress the illegal processions in Hong Kong, Yifu sir, I want to see a satisfactory report." ”

“yes，sir！”

Isuke saluted and shouted solemnly.

The Governor's Secretary looked at him and turned away, knowing that if the incident was properly handled, the next Commissioner of Police would be Isuke. It just so happens that the illegal actions of the Chinese will also be an opportunity for Isuke to prove his ability, and stepping on the Chinese as a stepping stone to climb up the ladder will be the step forward for many Hong Kong Island bureaucrats.

But Yifu left the governor's palace with his steps, but his expression was not a trace of excitement, and after getting into the car and rushing back to the police station, he just said to his subordinates: "Act according to the predetermined plan." ”

“yes，sir！”

The Force has the will of the Force!

At the same time, the governor thought for a long time, and also said: "Tell the Customs Department, the Corrections Department, the Fire Department, and the Medical Auxiliary Team to be ready, and the Chinese triad organization has a certain amount of police force behind it, and Yifu may not be able to suppress it." ”

"At the critical moment, let the personnel of the Customs Department, the Correctional Department, and the Fire Department all devote themselves to the explosion-proof campaign."

"Yes!"

"Governor."

The secretary replied with a bow, that is, to convey the order.

At 11 o'clock, more than 1,000 Chinese had gathered at the entrance of the Tuzhi District Office in Lee Cheng Uk Village, most of whom had been replaced by ordinary villagers and members of the Chao Yiyong community. The ordinary villagers did go home to cook and eat, but the members of the club had just eaten a full meal, nourished their spirits, and came to the location to gather in a menacing manner.

As the starting point of the Kowloon District Movement, Lee Cheng Uk Village will certainly leave a strong mark in the history of the Chinese struggle on Hong Kong Island along with the Double Tenth Movement, which is called the "Lee Cheng Uk Village Incident" of the Double Ten Movement, which is the incident with the largest number of casualties, the most extensive involvement, and the greatest influence in the history of Hong Kong Island.
