That night, Zhou Wenbing split into two groups. Miaohua took people to the county jail to rescue Lin Yun and his son and cousin Wang Chenghao. She took Zhang Xiaoping, Ti Jing and Xu Dacheng to the county magistrate's house.
He has served as the county magistrate of Lishi County for nearly ten years. When Zhou Wen was a child, he followed his father to his house for a banquet, so he knew how many family members there were and the layout of the house.
It was already 11 o'clock at night, and the county magistrate had gone to bed long ago. I just heard that a group of soldiers came to Zhou Jinghai's house today. I don't know why, but Zhang Youfeng didn't send any news. He felt a little uneasy.
, I say goodbye because Zhou Jinghai probably has some military background.
I felt nervous and couldn't sleep peacefully. I finally became confused for a while and suddenly found that the light in the bedroom was on. I quickly sat up and took a look. I saw a man wearing a full body armor, an armed belt, and long leather boots.
The young officer was sitting quietly on his favorite rocking chair, looking at him from side to side. There was no fluctuation in his eyes, as if he were looking at a dead person.
The wife next to me also woke up. She sat up and saw this scene. Just as she was about to scream, she was knocked unconscious by a palm from someone beside the bed and fell down on the bed again.
The county magistrate was so frightened that his heart was beating wildly. He emboldened himself and said, "I wonder what this officer is doing? Isn't it illegal to barge in in the middle of the night?"
There was a sarcastic smile on the corner of the young officer's mouth, and a light voice came: "Unreasonable law? The county magistrate doesn't recognize his old friend?"
The county magistrate opened his eyes and looked carefully, and felt a vaguely familiar face. Gradually, this face overlapped with the face of the young man he had seen before. He began to shiver in his heart, and the shivers spread from his heart to his whole body.
The county magistrate's whole body trembled, and his mouth trembled as he said, "You are from the Zhou family..."
Zhou Wen laughed, but his tone of voice was still without any emotion, as if it was floating down from the clouds in the sky, without a trace of human fireworks.
"Remember it? Are you a little disappointed? You should be disappointed. In your mouth, a person who was blown to pieces by artillery in July appears again alive in front of you. Could it be that he has seen a ghost?"
The county magistrate was completely awakened by this. He immediately jumped out of bed, knelt upright in front of Zhou Wen and said tremblingly: "Zhou Wen, oh no, Master Zhou, my young master, please listen to my explanation. I really don't know."
Love, it’s the Li family..."
"The Li family has something to do with the Li family, and you have something to do with yours." Zhou Wen's cold words completely destroyed his hope.
In desperation, the county magistrate began to break the jar and said loudly: "Master Zhou, I am an official appointed by the government. You have no qualifications or rights to punish me. You are abusing lynching and ignoring the law. You are going to rebel.
!”
"Bang!" With a sound, a military officer's ID card and a letter of appointment were thrown in front of him.
The county magistrate picked it up tremblingly and looked at it. The identity on the military officer's ID card was that of a colonel and security director of the Shanxi branch of the Central Party Headquarters. The appointment letter was a blank appointment from the county magistrate of Lishi County, Shanxi Province, stamped with the seal of the National Government.
shape.
Speaking of this letter of appointment, it was a means for Liu Ruoshui, the special commissioner, to appease Shanxi officials on behalf of the National Government. As soon as the emperor and the court officials, you, Marshal Yan, resigned, Shanxi Province was nominally under the jurisdiction of the National Government. That was before
The local officials appointed by Marshal Yan are a bit unfair.
Now the special commissioner from the party department has come and brought the government appointment. According to the previous principal's strategy of caution and patience, it is basically just a formality. Whoever is the county magistrate will now write his name on the appointment letter.
, that means it has been recognized by the National Government, and it is justified.
But if there is someone who is blind and insists on looking for trouble, Commissioner Liu Te won't mind changing his name. There are more than 100 counties in Shanxi Province, but Zhou Wen took away the letter of appointment from Lishi County, in order to
He built Lishi into his own backyard. Originally, he didn't want to change the county magistrate, but if he doesn't change now, he still keeps this white-eyed wolf as a seed?
The county magistrate's heart dropped when he saw these certificates. He was completely blinded and could only cry and beg for his life.
Zhou Wen stood up, picked up the collar of his pajamas, and dragged him to the window. He stretched out his hand and pushed the window open. A cold wind poured in. The county magistrate, who was only wearing pajamas, was shivering all over. However, he felt
What is even more chilling than the cold wind blowing is the scene in the yard outside the window...
The whole family of the county magistrate - his old father, his six-year-old son, his brother-in-law and his wife were all tied up and kneeling in the bitterly cold yard, shivering...
Zhou Wen's voice was still as calm as water, calm. "Do you want your whole family to die with you, or do you want to save your family and die by yourself?"
…
The next day, the well-known squires and business owners of Lishi County were all invited to the County Hall for a meeting by heavily armed soldiers. The courtyard of the County Hall was filled with chairs, and after everyone sat down, they started talking about it.
Already.
"Hey, Boss Zhang, have you heard that all four city gates were sealed early this morning? You can only go in but not go out. Machine guns are mounted on the city towers. Those soldiers from outside said that there are bandits in the city and they want to seal the city.
One day, eliminate the banditry."
"Of course I know. Not only is the city closed, I saw that the Dashunlai store was also closed. There were soldiers stationed at the front and back doors of the Li family compound, and they were not allowed in or out. I think Li Yifu might be in trouble this time.
"Boss Zhang said.
"Isn't that true? I had guessed before that he was trying to steal the Zhou family's property. This method was so bad. If the county hadn't said it was a red bandit case, I would have gone to the county to speak up and fight for Boss Zhou.
"Another boss next to him also chimed in.
"That's right. The boss seems to have a back-up this week. I'm afraid he won't be kind this time. It depends on what the county magistrate says." Someone else intervened and said.
"Do you know? These soldiers are very powerful. I heard that nearly a hundred people in the county security team were disarmed when they were pointed at with machine guns. Some of the rough ones were knocked down on the spot. Li Yifu's captain's son also
My hands and feet were broken. Tsk, tsk, tsk, that’s amazing! Just a few dozen young people sealed off a city."
"It's not bad. I heard that they robbed the county jail last night. Shopkeeper Lin and his two sons were snatched out. I heard they were beaten so badly. My nephew is guarding the jail, and he also
Fortunately, he didn't commit any crime with Li Yifu's son. He said that with his skill, he didn't even see anyone, and more than a dozen people from the security team fell down. Fortunately, he was merciful, and no one was seriously injured. He will be fine in a few days."
"Have you noticed? These soldiers are all officers. The youngest one is also a second lieutenant. This is something serious."
"Hey! Things are about to change for us in Lishi. I'm thinking that Li Yifu's eldest son is not a good person. He is also a regiment leader. There must be at least a thousand people in a regiment. I'm afraid there will be no peace in the future."...
