The soldiers responsible for night patrols and garrison duty handed over their duties to their companions during the day, gathered near the Maha Pond, had a breakfast, and then gathered again to summarize the entire work last night and start again.
Disband.
Some people went home to sleep, while others rushed to see their companions who were injured last night.
Over at the City Patrol Department, the statistics and interrogations of the captured bandits are still in full swing. Once many news are finalized, in the next few days, there will be a new round of arrests or simple arrests in the city.
A tea date.
Near several city gates, the flow of people wanting to leave the city almost blocked the roads, but the announcement from above has also been issued: just like the bandits' trouble last night, the opening time of Chengdu's city will be postponed by three hours today. Some members of Zhuji are in the city.
Conspicuous names are recorded on the wooden building near the door.
The staged summary information had been reviewed at the temporary headquarters near the City Patrol Division after breakfast, and the first batch of lists of arrestees had been decided. Not long after, Ning Yi and others arrived here, and everyone listened.
A report on the whole mess last night.
"...The basic situation of the chaos that broke out last night has now been clearly investigated. Starting from the explosion in No. 3 Courtyard B, Yumofang, north of the city at 15:00, the number of people who participated in the chaos throughout the night and directly clashed with us is currently counted at 450.
Eleven people. Among these 451 people, 132 died on the spot or due to serious injuries. 235 people were arrested. Some of them are currently being interrogated. There are a group of leading messengers.
After being confessed, we have already started to invite people over here..."
Ning Xi was making the report summarizing the situation. Although he stayed up all night last night, there were basically no traces of fatigue on the young man. He felt quite excited about Fang Shuchang and others' decision to arrange for him to make the report.
Because his father usually uses him as a follower, and he can only benefit from important things when he is out in the field.
"There are more than four hundred people..." Ning Yi said.
"It was mainly concentrated in the two times when the chaos suddenly broke out at Xushi and at Zishi." Ning Xi said, "There was sudden movement in the city around Xushi. Many people came out to watch the excitement. Some of them had conflicts with us, and some because of
The previous arrangements were dissuaded. The number of actual conflicts during this period was estimated to be close to 200. At that time, due to Ren Jingzhu's instigation, more than 100 people tried to cause trouble. It has been investigated clearly, mainly from related parties.
The two groups Shan Hai and Huang Nazhong...the rest of the time, there are scattered numbers of more than a hundred people. Of course, the numbers reported by the patrol team may overlap."
"...In addition, we have also investigated clearly the explosion in Yumofang at Xushi." Ning Xi laughed when she said this, "It is said that the person who rented the yard here is a fierce bandit named Shi Yuanmeng."
He stared at his father on the other side of the table. Ning Yi waited for a moment and frowned: "Tell me, is this an important person?"
Ning Xi smiled and looked at the file: "Well, this man named Shi Yuanmeng told everyone about his father's regicide. He said that you entered the Jinluan Palace together, and his position was right next to you, so he knelt down.
Not long after, you fired... He will remember this for the rest of his life."
"...Oh, him." Ning Yi remembered it and smiled, "I remember, the popular man under Tan Zhen back then...go on."
"He wanted to take revenge, so he went to the city to get two large barrels of gunpowder, and prepared them to be transported to the end of the Green Water Bridge, and he would light them when your carriage passed by. He had seventeen trustworthy brothers, one of whom was Zhu Ji.
Because the situation was urgent and the news could not be delivered for a while, our insider comrade made expedient measures. He took advantage of these people to gather together and lit gunpowder. Shi Yuanmeng was seriously injured...
Because he caused riots throughout the city, this comrade is currently feeling guilty and is awaiting punishment. This is his information."
Since he was doing espionage work, it was not appropriate to name his name in public. Ning Xi handed a document sealed with fire paint to her father. Ning Yi took it and put it down, not intending to read it.
"He was just performing a mission. He had nothing to do with it, and the explosion was just right. These guys made loud noises but little rain. If they don't start, I would like to help them." Ning Yi said with a smile, "Go on."
"Well, there were also casualties on our side in last night's chaos...According to current statistics, four soldiers were killed, and a total of more than 30 people suffered minor or serious injuries. The situation mainly occurred when dealing with some Green Foresters who were good at partial kung fu. Sometimes there were no
Preparation...the list of sacrifices is here...in addition..."
Ning Xi finished the report in detail. Ning Yi nodded: "According to the planned plan, the matter is not over yet. In the next few days, we will catch what should be arrested, make appointments, and judge what should be judged.
But the trial must be rigorous. If the evidence is conclusive, you can convict. If the evidence is not enough, let it go... I won't say more for now. Everyone has been busy all night. There is no need to hold a meeting for too long. If there is nothing more to do, let's go ahead.
Go away and have a good rest... Lao Hou, I have something else to tell you."
Everyone began to break up the meeting. Ning Yi summoned Hou Wu and walked outside together. He said with a smile: "Let's go and rest in the morning. I will ask shopkeeper Tan to contact you in the afternoon. Regarding matters such as arresting and releasing people, he
There are some articles to be done, you can sum them up."
Hou Wu nodded. Tan Ping is currently the person in charge of Zhuji's propaganda in Chengdu, but unlike Yong Jinnian and others who are responsible for the official propaganda, Tan Ping manages the hidden lines, such as the guidance of public opinion in newspapers and the intelligence line.
News dissemination, etc. If the cultural propaganda led by Yong Jinnian, Li Shishi and others is to moisturize things and quietly influence people's hearts, Tan Ping's side is using paper as a knife and killing people with words. The public opinion guidance carried out in the city during this period can
Such success is also due to him.
As for what kind of article Tan Ping wanted to write, Ning Yi didn't say it directly, and Hou Wu didn't ask. He could guess some clues. After they left, Ning Xi and Min Chuyi caught up from behind. Ning Yi
Looking at him doubtfully, Ning Xi chuckled: "Dad, there's something small. Uncle Fang and the others didn't know how to tell it directly, so they asked me to come over and report it in private."
"……What's up?"
"Hehe." Ning Xi scratched the back of her head, "...it's about my second brother."
"...What did he do again?"
"Second brother, he is injured." Ning Xi whispered.
Ning Yi rolled his eyes at him: "It's not a big deal if he's not dead. Just finish it in one go."
"...Last night, after Ren Jingzhu made trouble, Huang Nazhong and Yan Ying, who was under Guan Shanhai, led people around the city, and then ran to the second brother's yard and kidnapped the second brother..."
"Hijacking?"
"It was just a kidnapping. There were twenty people in total, including the injured Chen Wei and Chen Wei's junior brother Qin Gang. They met the second brother at the martial arts competition, so they went over to force the second brother to treat their injuries...these twenty
Two people left on the way to find someone to find a way to escape from Chengdu, so there were eighteen people in total. About dawn in the early morning, they had a conflict with the second brother..."
Ning Xi spoke calmly, trying to pass through the twists and turns in the middle. Ning Yi was silent for a moment: "Since your second brother was only injured, how are these eighteen people...?"
"One ran away."
"One ran away?"
"Dad, don't be like this. My second brother is not a bad person. He was surrounded by eighteen people and was beaten. It's normal that he couldn't hold back. In court, this is also the 'legitimate defense' you mentioned. He ran away
One was lost, but not all the others died. Some were injured, and two were still alive when the patrol passed by, but the bleeding could not be stopped... Several seriously injured people in the room, Chen Yu and Qin Gang, died.
Yes, because my second brother threw a grenade..."
The shade of the trees was swaying, and the morning sunshine was very good. The father and son stood under the eaves for a while, and Min Chuyi stood beside him with a solemn expression.
"This is all done in one fell swoop... He has accomplished meritorious deeds in killing the enemy. Isn't the third-class meritorious service he promised before not quite enough?"
"Dad, this matter is not the most important thing." Ning Xi thought about it, "The most interesting thing is that there was a woman among them who was stabbed twice during the fight. The second brother saved her and later returned her to this woman.
The woman gave a guarantee that she was not a bad person... Dad, this is the case. This woman's name is Qu Longjun. After the second brother confessed, this woman followed a scholar named Wen Shoubin into the city to cause trouble.
Yes, the main reason is to introduce her to...me. Then she will join our Chinese Army as a spy."
While Ning Xi was talking about this, she looked at Min Chuyi with some embarrassment. Min Chuyi's face was not angry at all. On the other hand, Ning Yi looked at the stools under the trees next to the yard and said, "What do you think about this situation?"
It’s a bit complicated and I can’t quite understand it. Let’s go to the side and you can explain it to me carefully.”
"The situation is very complicated. I was a little confused after I went to see my second brother." Under the autumn sunshine, Ning Xi reluctantly talked about the situation between his second brother and Naqu Longjun in the shade of the tree: "It is said that the second brother is back.
Later, I served as a military doctor in a martial arts competition... One day I heard someone speaking ill of us on the street. This person was Wen Shoubin... The second brother followed me to monitor... and monitored him for more than a month... The man named Qu Longjun
As for the little girl, her father’s name is Qu Rui. He led troops to attack our Xiaocanghe River and died in a daze... Qu Longjun @#￥#@%... Wen Shoubin @###￥%&... Again
Then the second brother&&&&%￥￥￥%##...and then last night..."
After he described it, Ning Yi rubbed his forehead, quite helpless. Ning Xi was also helpless, why did the second brother get into such things: "So the current situation is that those who want to cause trouble are mainly
Wen Shoubin and his second brother monitored the place for more than a month and found that the little girl had no intention of causing trouble and even committed suicide once. Now Wen Shoubin is also dead and the little girl was seriously injured, so his second brother intends to save her life.
,this matter……"
The young man signaled with his eyes, and Ning Yi looked at him.
"..."
After a moment, Ning Yi sighed: "So about this matter, you are thinking...whether your second brother has fallen in love with someone else."
"Hey, Dad, that's what happened." The news was finally accurately conveyed to her father's mind, and Ning Xi's expression suddenly became gossipy, "You said... if this is true, the second brother and this girl Qu will also
It's really a bad fate. This girl's father was killed by us. If she really fell in love with her, my mother wouldn't let her in..."
"It's not just this bad fate." Ning Yi said, "And this girl Qu was trained to seduce you from the beginning. If you brothers turn against each other because of this..."
"Dad, I have never seen that Qu girl. I am innocent. I just heard that she is beautiful and has good talents."
"You heard about it at first. After hearing about it, according to your personality, you can't help but take a look? In the first year of junior high school, have you been following him this morning?"
Min Chuyi looked at Ning Xi, frowned and thought for a while: "After visiting my second brother, there will be a short period of time..."
"I was going out to check the bodies of Chen Wei and Qin Gang..." Ning Xi stared and spread her hands towards her fiancée opposite.
"..."
"I can't help you now." Ning Yi took out the information about Qu Longjun's life experience from his son, sat there and read it, and after a while, he handed it to Min Chuyi, "Okay,
The matter between Ning Ji and this girl Qu will be handled by you on the first day of the new year."
"Ah?" Min Chuyi blinked, "Then...how should I deal with it..."
"You can handle it however you want, I support you."
"Dad, it's a life-long matter for my second brother, so you can't be so playful."
"He is only fourteen years old, and he is full of thoughts about using knives and guns. He doesn't know what life-long matters are. You and your second brother should talk to him a few more times before we talk about it."
Ning Yi sneered at his eldest son's mother-in-law and walked away, hearing Ning Xi and Chu Yi having a fight in the back. Not long after, he met Chen Fan outside the door and told Chen Fan about Ning Ji's feat early this morning.
.
"...I waited all night, but I didn't see anyone who could come in. Xiaoji killed seventeen people in one game."
He sighed: "It seems it's time to send him back to school as soon as possible..."
****************
The sun rises high in the sky, and the city is as noisy and bustling as ever.
In the clear sky, Ning Yi walked into the small yard where his second son was still resting after being injured. He sat beside the hospital bed for a moment. The young man, who was not mentally damaged, woke up. He had a five-part conversation with his father on the bed.
He confessed everything that had happened recently, the confusion in his heart and the subsequent answers. Regarding the deaths of Chen Wei, Qin Gang and others, he confessed that he wanted to prevent the other party from seeking revenge after he recovered from his injuries.
When Ning Ji talked about the theory of not treating guests to dinner, Ning Yi reached out and touched Ning Ji's head: "There are people who can convince, and there are people who are not convinced. There is a difference in methodology."
He then asked about Ning Ji's contact with Huang Nanzhong's gang. Ning Ji confessed about the small matter of selling drugs during the martial arts competition. He originally hoped to use the drugs to find out where the other party was so that he could respond when they took action. Who
They didn't do anything for a month, but ended up using their own small yard as a shelter on their way to escape. This was truly a fateful meeting coming from thousands of miles away.
Destined for a thousand miles... Ning Yi covered his forehead and sighed.
Compared with the eldest son who has always been training to do things, Ning Yi has never been able to do much about the second son who is upright and pure and doesn't even hide his thoughts in front of his family. They then chatted candidly with each other in the ward for a while.
, after Ning Yi left, Ning Ji confessed his thoughts and fell asleep on the bed without any worries. His face after falling asleep was as delicate and pure as his mother Chan'er.
…
In the city, deeper changes are taking place.
Yan Daolun walked out of the inn and went to the Huaxia Army to care about the progress of the negotiations and deliberations, and at the same time inquired about what happened yesterday. On the streets of the city, members of the Huaxia Army could occasionally be seen walking around. Most places had returned to order, but only some
The yard burned by the flames left traces of yesterday's chaos.
Yu Hezhong in the yard heard about the development of the incident from the vivid descriptions of his companions. The first round of events had been quickly reported by newsprint. The entire chaos last night began with a stupid accident: a man named Shi Yuan
The fierce Wu Dynasty bandits hoarded gunpowder in an attempt to assassinate Ning Yi. They caught fire and ignited the gunpowder barrel, killing and wounding themselves and sixteen companions.
"This is the Chinese Army's response, this is the Chinese Army's response!" Guan Shanhai ran in the yard with the newspaper. Now he clearly knew that this stupid start and the Chinese Army's calm response in the chaos were destined to be
The whole thing turns into a joke that will be remembered for many years - the Chinese military's public opinion offensive will ensure that the joke remains funny.
Compared with his apparent gaffe, he was more worried about the Chinese army that might come at any time. Yan Ying and a large number of his subordinates were damaged, so it was not difficult for him to get involved. But in this case
, he knew he couldn't leave.
Sure enough, before noon, someone knocked on the door and politely invited him to go to the City Patrol Division for a cup of strong tea.
A small-scale arrest was underway, and people gradually became aware of who was involved and who was not. In the afternoon, more details were revealed. All night long, none of the assassins had seen Ning Ning.
For even a moment of perseverance, many of the Green Foresters who had damaged buildings and objects in the city during the riots were even counted by the Chinese army, and the first round of verbal and written criticism began in the newspapers.
Later, some of the great scholars, including Guan Shanhai, were released by the City Patrol Division. Since the evidence was not very sufficient, the City Patrol Division was not even interested in detaining them for one night to give them more fame. In private,
, some Confucian scholars have secretly made deals with the Chinese army, and news of selling weapons for glory has begun to spread - this is not difficult to understand.
Yang Tiehuai, the "Huaigong" who was the most active in the process of gathering and lobbying all parties, ultimately did not let his subordinates participate in this chaos. No one knows whether he did not intend to take action from the beginning, or whether he delayed it until the end and found that there was no more
The opportunity to take action. On the 22nd, a wounded Green Forest man stopped Yang Tiehuai's car on the road and tried to assassinate him. When he was stopped, he shouted to himself: "You are the one who instigated our brothers.
Take action, you old dog cowering behind, you egg-shrinking dog thief, I will kill you to avenge my brother——"
The green forest man was caught and thrown into prison by the Chinese soldiers who came later. Yang Tiehuai, who still had gauze tied on his forehead, stood on the carriage with his fists clenched and his face as solemn as iron. This was also the scene when he was with a group of foolish men and women that day.
Debate, what it looks like when your head is smashed by a stone.
Newspapers in the city subsequently followed up on this little chaos: Someone revealed that Yang Tiehuai was one of the lobbyists and organizers of the assassination on the 20th night. As these rumors spread, some of the murderers tried to retaliate against Mr. Yang Tiehuai.
Fortunately, the attack was discovered and stopped by nearby patrol officers. The City Patrol Department conducted an investigation afterwards and found that this statement was indeed unfounded. Yang Tiehui himself and his subordinates stayed behind closed doors on the night of the 20th.
The Chinese Army condemned the rumors and cold-blooded actions that harmed these pillars of Confucianism...
The autumn wind was comfortable, and the setting sun that penetrated into the autumn wind was red. In this early autumn, people from all over the world who came to Chengdu said hello to the Chinese Army, and the Chinese Army responded. Then people heard the sound of the mountains collapsing in their hearts. They originally thought
He was very powerful and thought he had united. However, the Chinese army remained unmoved.
And they themselves are falling apart after this collision.
Some people began to question the integrity of the Confucian scholars in the debates, and some people began to publicly declare that they wanted to participate in the Chinese Army's examination. People who had previously secretly bought books and attended cram schools began to become more upright. Some old Confucian students in Chengdu still
Articles were constantly published on the newsprint, some exposing the sinister arrangements of the Chinese army, some criticizing a group of rabble-rousers as untrustworthy, and some severing ties between great scholars. Some published news in newspapers, and some even eulogized the heroes who sacrificed their lives in the chaos.
The article, with more or less warnings.
The wave of public opinion is gradually expanding, penetrating deep into people's hearts. The situation in the city has become quieter and more complicated in this atmosphere.
Of course, such complexity is only the experience of some people who are involved in it.
In the evening of the 23rd, the hospital room smelled of medicine, and sunlight poured in from one side of the window. Qu Longjun lay on the bed with some discomfort, feeling the continuing pain in his back, and then someone came in from outside the door.
She thought it was the female doctor she had seen in the past two days or the female nurse who fed her. She turned her head and wanted to say hello, but then her eyes froze, a chill spread, and her whole body tensed up.
What came in from the door under the setting sun was the murderous little doctor wearing a white coat. Although his features were handsome, he was obviously in a bad mood——
Long Aotian.
…
At the same moment, on the post road in the eastern suburbs of Chengdu, a convoy was driving towards the city. This convoy was protected by soldiers of the Chinese Army. On top of the second large car, someone was driving deeply from the curtain.
Staring at this vibrant dusk, this is Chen Shanjun, who has become gray-haired in the first two years of Lao Niutou. Beside him, sitting next to him, is Li Ximing, who was threatened by Ning Yi and then followed Chen Shanjun to carry out reforms in Lao Niutou.
"... We have paid a lot of money, but we have blocked the Golden Dog in front of Zizhou. Look at Chengdu, the rice is about to ripen, and there will be a good harvest this autumn."
The members of the Huaxia Army who were driving subconsciously talked about these things with the people inside. Chen Shanjun watched quietly, with tears gradually flowing out of his old eyes. It turned out that they were also soldiers of the Huaxia Army - a thousand split from the old Niutou.
Many people were originally the most determined group of warriors, but they missed the Battle of the Southwest...
