Early winter is approaching, and the weather is suddenly cooler.
There is still no widespread rainfall in Sichuan, with only a few drops sprinkled in scattered areas. The drought situation has not been alleviated, and the biting cold wind has brought new problems. Before, the victims were just suffering from hunger, but now they have to face hunger and cold.
current situation.
Yu Peichen was warming up on the stove and was wearing a woolen coat. This was an extremely luxurious fabric in the Republic of China, and clothes made of woolen could even be as expensive as fur.
Thinking of those comrades who are still risking their lives in work and the struggling victims outside, Yu Peichen feels satisfied with her current comfortable life, but also feels scared and has a deep sense of guilt. She reads articles from various places.
For the letters that come in, pick out the important ones and put them separately, and gather the unimportant ones together to prepare your own ghostwritten replies.
"Jingle Bell!"
The phone rang, and Yu Peichen picked up the receiver and said, "Hello, this is the Zhou Mansion."
"It's not good, it's not good," Liang Xuzan's anxious voice came from the other end of the phone, "Secretary Yu, this is Liang Xuzan, please tell Mr. Zhou quickly that something big happened at Liujiatai's porridge shop!"
Yu Peichen quickly asked: "What happened?"
Liang Xuzan spoke quickly: "Hundreds of hungry people snatched the guards' guns and ransacked the temporary granary. Other hungry people either followed suit or fled in all directions. The relief workers and the security team suffered heavy casualties, and many hungry people were trampled to death due to the chaos.
!”
Yu Peichen stood up suddenly in shock and said, "Don't hang up the phone yet, I'll go find Mr. Zhou!"
Two minutes later, Zhou Hexuan hurriedly came to the study, picked up the phone and said in a deep voice: "What's going on? Tell me clearly!"
"It happened suddenly. The specific situation is not clear yet," Liang Xuzan couldn't explain. "Commander Li has already led troops to suppress it. Those damn bastards actually set fires everywhere to create chaos in order to escape for their lives!"
"I'll be there right away!" Zhou Hexuan was so angry that he was shaking all over, dropped the phone and went downstairs to call someone.
The three Zhu brothers and Min Zhou, who had recovered from his injuries, all came to Chongqing with Zhou Hexuan, and even brought their families with them.
Among them, Zhu Guofu did not live in the Zhou Mansion, but went around to raise funds to build the Chongqing Chinese Martial Arts Hall, most of which was provided by Zhou Hexuan. The brothers Zhu Guolu and Zhu Guozhen stayed in the Zhou Mansion as bodyguards for a long time, and took turns going to the eldest brother's Chinese Martial Arts Hall to teach
.
Min Zhou has now become Zhou Hexuan's bodyguard, and he has also gone to Chongqing Ge Laohui to pay homage to the dock as a Hongmen disciple. If Zhou Hexuan wants to deal with the local three religions and nine schools, he must send Min Zhou to contact him. This kind of thing is very important to Min Zhou.
It's easy to say.
Today, Zhu Guolu was teaching at the Guoshu Hall. Sun Yongzhen, Zhu Guozhen and Min Zhou were fully armed and following Zhou Hexuan. Only Sun Yonghao was left at home to guard against Xiaoxiao.
The river boat departed from the dock and went straight to Liujiatai around Chaotianmen. The three bodyguards all held rifles in their hands. Zhu Guozhen even set up a machine gun on the bow of the ship. When encountering a large group of hungry people floating in the water, if he had not fired a warning shot,
As a result, the bodyguards really wanted to shoot and kill people.
Zhou Hexuan recently acquired three machine guns and borrowed a few soldiers from the garrison. Two guns were always mounted on the balcony of his home. Under cross fire, only regular troops armed with artillery shells could break through.
In troubled times, you can be kind, but you must not lose your life because of kindness. Recently, there are rumors of rich families being killed and their whole families in various parts of Sichuan. Zhou Hexuan had to be on guard. His reputation was not worth it when faced with hungry victims.
When Zhou Hexuan arrived at Liujiatai Porridge, the place was already devastated. Countless victims were in shock and were being guarded by security guards with guns, huddled together and shivering.
Chongqing garrison commander Li Gengu looked ferocious, like an angry lion. He caught and kicked a victim. Suddenly, he pulled out his pistol, pointed it at the victim's head and shot him in the head. After the killing, he still didn't feel relieved and ordered his subordinates to say:
: "Drag this turtle son to feed the dogs!"
Zhou Hexuan frowned and asked, "Have you checked clearly?"
"It's clear," Li Gengu said, his whole body shaking uncontrollably. He didn't know whether he was angry or because of the cold weather. "Although the porridge in Liujiatai is not much, it is not enough to starve people to death. These things
The turtle son who snatched grain wanted to join Liu Congyun's "Confucius and Mencius". Now there are rumors everywhere, saying that the world will be destroyed and the drought in Sichuan will last for a hundred years. Only by joining "Confucius and Mencius" can peace be guaranteed. But joining "Confucius and Mencius"
They wanted to donate property, but they didn’t have money or food themselves, so they decided to use the porridge warehouse!”
"Demon!" Zhou Hexuan gritted his teeth with hatred.
Li Gengu explained the situation to Zhou Hexuan: "Now more than 200 people who were robbing food have been caught, dozens of them have been killed on the spot, and the rest are being hunted. Some people have already fled to the main city. In order to prevent the police from pursuing and suppressing them, these people
The turtle son actually set fires everywhere in the city!"
"How much food was lost?" Zhou Hexuan asked.
"The loss of food is not much. Liujiatai is a temporary warehouse, and more than 200 loads were robbed this time." Li Gengu laughed angrily and said coldly, "From October to yesterday, the total number of porridge farms was dead.
Of the 78 people, most of them died of illness. Now it’s better, the trouble caused by these idiots killed thousands of them in one go, including eight of my men in the police force!”
There were nearly 200,000 victims from various places in Chongqing, and the Liujiatai porridge house had housed 70,000 to 80,000 people for a long time. Those who made trouble to grab food caused serious chaos. Tens of thousands of people fled and it was difficult to deal with it. Most of the dead died due to stampedes.
Only more than a thousand people died, which is already a very small number. If the hungry people were not weak and tens of thousands of people went crazy together, a more serious disaster would have occurred in minutes. Li Gengu is scared to think about it now.
Li Gengu's face became ferocious, and he gritted his teeth and said: "Liu Shenxian, this demon, must die!"
"Yes, he must die!" Zhou Hexuan was also filled with hatred.
In the entire Sichuan military community, there are countless people who want to kill Liu Congyun. You must know that not everyone is superstitious in religion, but all respectable officers must kneel down and kowtow to Liu Congyun. This is simply a great shame and humiliation.
When Liu Xiang had just unified Sichuan, his confidants asked Liu Congyun to be killed, but Liu Xiang did not take action because of his face.
Now that such a big thing has happened, Liu Congyun must die!
Although Li Gengu seemed brave and foolhardy, he was very calm at the critical moment: "Liu Shenxian is too famous and involved in too many things, so it will be troublesome to kill him. We need to discuss this matter with Mayor Li first. By the way, also
I need to tell Chairman Liu."
"There is no need to bother Liu Xiang, he is still recovering from his illness." Zhou Hexuan said with a sneer.
Li Gengu thought for a while and smiled: "Yes, don't bother Chairman Liu, just kill the demon first and then show off."
