    "I'll kill you!" The angry Jin San pulled the trigger, and two bullets fired from close range hit the middle-aged man's chest, knocking him flying out. Jin San showed disdain on his face.  He fired a shot into the air and ordered loudly: "Fire!" With the sound of the gunshot, choking white smoke burning with black powder spurted out from the muzzle of the gun, blocking the sight of the patrolmen. A burst of white smoke came from the opposite side.  The exclamations and screams of the crowd were heard as roars by the patrolmen who had no battlefield experience. Many of them pulled the bolts of their guns and fired until all the bullets in the magazine were exhausted.  As the white smoke gradually dissipated, we saw corpses scattered everywhere on the street opposite. The air was filled with the groans of the injured and dying. Through the remaining white smoke, we could see groups of people dozens of meters away.  Groups of ragged people were fleeing in panic.  Jin San proudly walked up to the middle-aged man's corpse, kicked him and sneered: "If you, a poor man, still want to change the world, if you don't eat your leftovers honestly, I will send you back to the west!" Not far away,  Hu Keqin's face suddenly changed when he heard the intensive gunshots: "Oops, shots have been fired, send someone to stop it quickly!" "I'm afraid it's too late!" Shen Hongmao's face didn't look good either. He now regretted that he shouldn't have spoken just now.  The chief envoy Zhang Zhicheng was allowed to watch the fun.  "Whether it's too late or not, hurry up and stop the situation from escalating!" Hu Keqin stamped his feet. Zhang Zhicheng on the side was also a little panicked. He didn't expect that things would get to this point, so he hurriedly said: "Two adults, please don't worry.  , I'll go and see for myself right away!" Soon, Zhang Zhicheng led a team of soldiers to escort Hu and Shen to the intersection. They saw corpses everywhere on the street. There were probably more than a hundred people. Hu Keqin was desperate.  He closed his eyes and murmured in his mouth: "How could this happen? How could this happen!" "Report to Mr. Zhang, the mob has been dispersed by the lower officials!" Magistrate Liu proudly reported to Zhang Zhicheng.  Shen Hongmao on the side finally couldn't bear it anymore and shouted loudly: "Who asked you to shoot!" Magistrate Liu looked at Shen Hongmao and Hu Keqin who were standing next to Zhang Zhicheng in casual clothes with some surprise. Zhang Zhicheng on the side quickly introduced: "  This is Mr. Shen, the Minister of Civil Affairs, and next to him is Mr. Hu, the governor who participated in the political affairs and the Minister of Household Affairs. Both of them came from Hanjing on business and lived in my house. We happened to meet at this time today and came together.  "These words were like thunder in the ears of Magistrate Liu. He swayed and almost sat down. He quickly bowed and said: "I didn't know that you two adults are here. I hope you will forgive me for offending you just now.  !" Shen Hongmao ignored his answer and asked directly: "Who asked you to shoot just now!" "This, this!" Magistrate Liu looked at Zhang Zhicheng standing aside, as if he saw a life-saving straw, and shouted  He shouted: "Master Zhang, you can't blame me for this. I just asked you to borrow troops -" "I was afraid that you would use force indiscriminately, so I refused to lend you the soldiers of the Biao camp!" Zhang Zhicheng interrupted Liu.  The prefect's defense: "These people are also citizens of the imperial court. How can they shoot randomly like you? Even I can't help you this time!" "You, you, you-" Prefect Liu was so angry at Zhang Zhicheng.  He couldn't even say a complete sentence. Only now did he understand why Zhang Zhicheng refused to lend him troops just now. His feelings were because these two Shangguan from Han Jing were watching, but he was kept in the dark and lost.  Clean, thinking of this, Magistrate Liu sat down like a deflated rubber ball.  "Alas! Lord Magistrate Liu! Don't say any more!" Hu Keqin opened his eyes: "Here comes, take away his official robe and gauze hat, take him down to listen. This time, several of us will be involved.  Zhezi apologized to the court!" "Yes, sir!" On the way back to the Chief Envoy, Shen Hongmao approached Hu Keqin and asked in a low voice: "Mr. Hu, do you think there is something strange about this matter?"  "Yes, not long after Chen Zaixing and Liu Zhiping raised interest rates to bring down Mr. Wang, what happened this time? Could it be that they deliberately fanned the flames and forced us to accept his request?"  "It shouldn't be possible, right?" Hu Keqin frowned and said, "This matter is so big that even I don't know how to end it. Then Liu Zhiping is just a businessman, how dare he risk the disapproval of the world?  "Liu Zhiping doesn't know how to do such a thing, but it's not necessarily the case with Chen Zaixing. I was not an ordinary character at the same age. He was bold and thoughtful. You see, when he encountered the British invasion in Burma, ordinary people  They all hurriedly returned to their country to seek refuge, but he seized the opportunity to make a plan and managed to find a way out of the cracks. He is now the husband of the Burmese king. There is really nothing that ordinary people in Dashun can do against him. Why do you think it is impossible for him to do this?  Such things?" Hu Keqin thoughtAfter a while, he finally nodded: "What you said makes sense, but it's all speculation now, and we still need to find real evidence!" "Then if it's really them who did it?" "If it's really these people behind it.  Damn it, that's a national traitor!" Hu Keqin's half-closed eyes suddenly opened, and two rays of light shot out: "Then I will fight for my life, but I will understand these national traitors for the Queen Mother!" Shen Hongmao has been in the officialdom for many years!  , and instinctively lowered his head to avoid looking directly into the other person's eyes.     Zhabei District.  There was a particularly gloomy atmosphere hanging over the entire workers' residential area at this time. The doors and windows of the houses on both sides of the street were tightly closed, the windows were nailed with wooden bars, and the doors were blocked with heavy objects. The streets were empty and there were few pedestrians.  The roar of machines no longer came from several factories by the river, and the entire factory area was dead silent, as if something was about to happen.  Yu Zhiheng crossed the street in surprise, with a bag of rice on his shoulder. This was part of the trophies he got from the rice store yesterday. He planned to use this as a gift to Yu Pao to comfort the unfortunate man.  .  After crossing two streets and turning another corner, Yu Zhiheng finally arrived at his final destination. Yu Pao's residence was a large, messy courtyard. Most of the residents in this courtyard had several children like him.  workers. Normally at this time, the whole yard would be full of children playing around, but today the yard was empty but there was no one there, and it was so quiet that it was so quiet.  Yu Zhiheng walked to the door of a room and knocked hard twice. There was no movement inside the door. He frowned and knocked twice more. There was a slight sound of a child crying inside the door, but no one came.  Open the door.  Yu Zhiheng had no choice but to knock on the door at another house, but there was no answer at this house as before. Just when Yu Zhiheng was about to knock on the third house again, a middle-aged man's voice came from behind: "Who are you? What are you doing?"  Knocking on doors everywhere!" Yu Zhiheng turned around and saw three men standing behind him. The two young men behind him were holding wooden sticks in their hands. The leader was staring at him fiercely, his eyes filled with anger.  hostility.  "I'm Yu Pao's friend, come and see him! There's rice in the bag, it's for him." Yu Zhiheng took a step back and put the rice bag on his shoulder on the ground.  The leading man looked at the rice bag on the ground, then looked at Yu Zhiheng suspiciously, and replied coldly: "Go back! Take the rice back too, Yu Pao is gone." "Not?" Yu Zhiheng  He asked in surprise: "I sent him back when he was drunk more than a month ago. This is the yard. Did he move?" "Yes, he used to live here!" The man emphasized in an emphatic tone, "Once  "These two words: "But he is no longer here. He was shot to death by the patrol on Tiantong Road this morning, right at the front of the team!" At this point, the man's face showed a trace of emotion.  Smile: "So he is gone, and there is no need for your rice! He will never need it!" "Patrol police? Tiantong Road? At the front of the team?" Yu Zhiheng was drunk and confused: "Can you tell me what happened?  "Is it something?" "You don't know what happened this morning?" "I don't know. I worked in the factory for fourteen hours straight yesterday. I'm a forger. You know the work is very tiring. I fell asleep as soon as I went to bed.  Just like a dead pig!" "It's no wonder that you are a blacksmith!" The middle-aged man's eyes showed a gentle light: "This is hard work, and you can't do it if you are not a real strong man.  Sit down and I'll tell you everything!" At this point, he turned around and cursed in a rude voice to the two young men behind him: "You two guys are still holding sticks in your hands.  Why don't you go home and boil some hot water? Guests are coming!" The two young men hurriedly dropped their sticks and bowed to Yu Zhiheng.  The middle-aged man patted Yu Zhiheng on the shoulder and said with a smile: "They are all my sons. The children's mothers died early. It was me who raised them up, and they ended up like this bear. My name is Xu Dacheng, and you!"  "My name is Yu Zhiheng!" Yu Zhiheng followed the middle-aged man into the yard, opened a door at the corner, and entered the room. Two young people were cleaning up the messy table.  Xu Dacheng sat down on the bench next to the table, patted the bench next to him, and said with a smile: "Sit down! Brother Zhiheng, don't blame me for being so cruel to you just now. You are the fourth group to inquire today.  The person who was involved in Pao's matter could tell from the first few glances that he was not a serious person, so I thought you were also a piece of shit, so I offended you, please forgive me!" At this time, a young man came up with a chipped sea bowl, and said  After pouring some water in, Yu Zhiheng felt a little thirsty. He took a few sips and asked, "Brother Dacheng, you said just now that Yu Pao was beaten to death by the patrol. What happened?" "You know?"Was it about grabbing rice yesterday?  " "I know, I got this half bag of rice back from the rice store!  ¡± Thank you book friends for your pure four-eye tip.
