112 The ghost(1/2)

When I opened the back door of the yamen, I couldn't understand what the old man guarding the door meant in Fujian dialect. Fang Bingsheng and Shan Ji simply pushed the old man away, did it himself, and tied the back door tightly with the chain and bolted.

Only then did Fang Bingsheng feel safe. He didn't care whether the expensive suit jacket fell into the soil or that he could feel the mud in his hand melting on his skin, so he wiped his head with his palms over his head.

"Brother Sheng, listen!" Shan Ji woke up and was afraid of Fang Bingsheng and pointed to Sany Street at the main entrance of the yamen.

Fang Bingsheng tilted his head and his face was frightened: there was a loud gunfire over there!

It’s not next door, it’s at the gate of the yamen!

The gunshots were heard from the main entrance of the yamen!

"Damn, what's going on? Xi Shengmo is going to rebel?" Fang Bingsheng shouted in horror.

The yamen was also in chaos, but it didn't scatter, because now there are no officials or officials in the yamen, and they are all inferior servants. Thinking about it, you can tell that because Liu Guojian is mostly from Fujian, although there are gunfire everywhere, where can they run? They just rush to Liu Guojian's residence at the end of the yamen.

In the chaotic yamen, Fang Bingsheng and Shan Ji ran into Liu Guojian's yard through the guards. The yard was already brightly lit and the doors and windows were wide open. When he looked up, three masters who escaped from the teahouse knelt in the main hall, crying in tears, and shouted: "Uncle, Xi Shengmo shot Uncle Wang and killed us outsiders..."

Liu Guojian was wearing a gorgeous and fashionable silk pajamas that looked weird and looked very strange. He stood on the porch with surprise, puzzled, painful and panic on his face.

Seeing Fang Bingsheng and Shan Ji running in, Liu Guojian almost jumped off the four-stage steps in slippers and shouted: "Fang Bingsheng! You're okay! What's going on!"

"Oh," Fang Bingsheng's face turned black and white, and his coat was gone. The bandage that was originally pretending to be seriously injured and hung on his neck fell off at some point. It seemed so embarrassing. He gasped for a few times and shouted: "Old Liu, I'm sorry for you. Your little secretary may have been beaten to death by the sheriff. Fortunately, we both ran fast..."

"What? Xiaoyao was also killed!" The three villagers immediately got up from the ground when they heard the bad news, ran to the yard, pulled Fang Bingsheng and Shan Ji and asked, "What's going on?" "Where is that who and who? Aren't you with you?"

Fang Bingsheng naturally said that he didn't know what happened to those two, and he only said that the little secretary was finished.

"Ahhh, my poor little nephew and grandson..." A master immediately knelt on the ground again and burst into tears.

Liu Guojian also lowered his head and cried. At this time, the person holding a spear ran in at the door, and it seemed that he was from the guard team.

As soon as he saw him, Liu Guojian wiped his tears and shouted: "What's going on in the front door? Why do you shoot?"

The man looked astonished, and he seemed more surprised than anyone present. He had seen a mouse talking and singing. He stuttered: "Just now, there were countless people in front of the yamen gate, yelling to catch thieves. Then the sheriff wanted to go in at the door to capture the three masters who had entered. Our gatekeeper naturally would not let them in. Then, somehow, the group of sheriffs asked Brother Yudan to put down his weapons from afar and surrender immediately. Brother Yudan naturally would not agree. How could he let the sheriff come to the yamen to catch people? Seeing the other party pressing over fiercely, he gestured with a gun, and the result... As a result... the other party shot without saying a word..."

"Where is Yudan?!" Several Fujianese were shocked when they heard this. Fang Bingsheng also knew that Yudan was also a fellow villager in Fujian. Fang Bing came to the yamen for the first time a few days before his death. This guardian had to let them unload their guns, so he was Liu Guojian's confidant.

"Brother Yudan was beaten to death immediately..." The informant spread his hands helplessly and said, "Suddenly, more than a dozen guns opened fire at the gatehouse, and the gods couldn't survive..."

Liu Guojian sighed heavily, pointed outside the yard and shouted: "Why are you still shooting now?"

"The sheriff has attacked, and our guards are fighting with them near your front yard office. I am coming back to report the letter, what should I do? They are also led by the police." The man said.

Fang Bingsheng took a step forward and asked anxiously: "Who is the other party? Do you know anyone?"

The man nodded and said, "The other party is led by Inspector Xi Shengmo, and the others who hold guns are either police officers or militia!"

"Whose militia? How can he, Xi Shengmo, mobilize militia?" Liu Guojian asked in disbelief with a change of expression.

"I recognize one, who is from Li Guangxi Factory Protection Team. I have drunk alcohol before and have hunted outside the city together." The informant said.

"Li Guangxi?" Fang Bingsheng and Liu Guojian looked at each other, and their faces were as white as paper in an instant. They knew who their opponent was.

Three years ago, the lower class was uprising here. Three years later, it was obvious that the opponent had become the upper class elite.

He actually attacked the yamen in the name of checking gambling!!!

Only those elites with rich, powerful, intelligence, human resources, and official minions could plan this kind of thing!

Liu Guojian thought of Director Zhang's gritting threat yesterday, and was shocked and hated. However, he had seen the world and was not a mediocre person. He immediately came to his senses and grabbed the person who reported the news and shouted: "Does Director Zhang come?"

"No! The leader is Xi Shengmo!" The man answered firmly.

Liu Guojian let out a long sigh and almost fell to the ground. This was not fear, but glad: if Director Zhang led the team, he would definitely be over tonight. That would be the entire county elite who wanted his life, and his gambling and the handle of fellow villagers had already fallen into the hands of the other party.

"Old Liu, what do you think? You can't let them arrest people! If they want to come in the yamen to arrest your master, you will be finished!" Fang Bingsheng shouted.

"I understand much more than you!" Liu Guojian shouted, stopping Fang Bingsheng's yelling.

He waved his hand coldly, and issued orders to distribute all the weapons now to the guards and fellow Fujianese people, and to protect the Yamen Zhongtang area with all his might and not allow the sheriff and the Presbyterians to come in at all.

Then he turned around and ran into the room. After a while, he came out with a password book. He was about to run out of the yard door, but suddenly he turned back and grabbed Fang Bingsheng and shouted: "My secretary is dead! Will you send a telegram, right? Come with me quickly!"

"Okay!" Fang Bingsheng followed Liu Guojian to the telegram room of the yamen and asked, "Who did you send a telegram to? Can you save you?"

Liu Guojian gritted his teeth and said, "Now that group of dog breeds have seized my handle. They must have wanted to sue memorials with me! Seinen's mother! I must take the initiative first, I will send an urgent telegram to the court! Agent Xi Shengmo was suspended for illegal activities. He was angry with the county magistrate to deal with it and incite the rebellion. I ask the army for emergency support!"

"You want to tell the court that you have rebelled here?" Fang Bingsheng stopped suddenly, feeling a little unbelievable. He grabbed Liu Guojian and shouted, "You don't want your official hat?"

"You idiot! Now I can only fight with my back! I can only push everything to Xi Shengmo tonight, and then see if I can take the opportunity to overthrow Director Zhang! They captured several of my masters in their hands and checked my teahouse. If they didn't suppress them with the big hat of rebellion, an investigator in the court came down, or even a tabloid report, let alone an official hat, I will have to go to the jail immediately!" Liu Guojian yelled and explained.

After saying that, he pointed to the increasingly dense gunfire not far ahead and shouted: "The other party has already made a red knife with me. What other ways do I have to escape except for the crime of rebellion that can make me escape!"

Fang Bingsheng was stunned for a while, blinked his eyes and shouted, "What should I do with my Democratic Party election?"

Liu Guojian pinched the password book and glared at Fang Bingsheng, as if he was looking at a monster, then spat and shouted: "Go to your mother, Democratic Party! You mom was made by you! You beast! I'll send it myself!"

After saying that, he turned around and rushed to the telegraph room.

When he held the door handle in his hand, a panting sound came from behind. Fang Bingsheng chased after him. He pressed the door to open and said, "Don't rush to send a telegram. I have an idea, do you think it's OK?"

============================================

Saturday at 12:00 pm.

Fang Bingsheng and Shan Ji were escorted to the headquarters of the Public Security Bureau by two Presbyterian militias with white cloth strips on their left arms.

Just now, someone in the yamen shouted to the attacker: Can you let the irrelevant Fang Bingsheng and the others leave the yamen and go to the headquarters of the Public Security Bureau?

Fang Bingsheng also squatted behind the rockery and shouted: They are all Christians, are they all gays, are they all? I am not from your county town, nor are they soldiers, nor are they criminals. I am unarmed and injured. Don’t let me fall into war, this is murder!

The attacker thought for a while and agreed.

This is actually the other party's attack was not very professional, and it was not a fearless attack that could be killed. The Presbyterian Church and Longchuantang suddenly attacked and killed Yudan, the guard on duty. Shortly after attacking the gate of the yamen, they were blocked by the guards and Fujian people hiding behind the mayor's office, because there were rockery rocks and artificial streams. The terrain was complex and dark at night. There was no light and people could not be seen clearly. They were just shooting around. The same was true for Liu Guojian's side. It sounded like the two sides were shooting each other fiercely, but they just shot each other to be brave. So after half an hour, no one died, and there were not even wounded each other.

This is a night battle. Not to mention a group of semi-professional police officers and militia guards, looking around the world, which elite soldiers of the great power can fight night battles and dare to fight night battles?

The battle has entered a stalemate.

Fang Bingsheng took this opportunity to ask to leave the yamen.

His real purpose was to find Ou Xingsun, a kid, to make a big gift, and let him fight against Xi Shengmo as a colleague.

Fang Bingsheng did not think that Xi Shengmo would rebel. He judged that this kid was just a thug from the Presbyterian Church, so although this attack seemed fierce, it was not fatal, because their main target was not a Fujian master, nor was it a big kill, but wanted to use the dereliction of duty and crimes during his tenure to defeat Liu Guojian.

And it is very obvious that there are only four or five police officers who investigated gambling and attacked the yamen, most of which are militiamen, which shows that the Public Security Bureau generally does not know or does not interfere in Xi Shengmo's activities.

In this way, Xi Shengmo was just a lying-headed green who violated countless police rules. If Ou Xingsun came in to fight for dominance, the militia might not dare to do anything.

In addition, it is best to buy the mainstay Director Zhang. If he buys that person, no matter how many militias Xi Shengmo and the Presbyterian Church are, they will be just clowns.

In this way, this matter will not only turn into a big event, but will also turn into a complete farce.

As soon as Fang Bingsheng mentioned this idea, he wanted to break the rebellion and ask for help from the other party, Liu Guojian, who immediately agreed.

Can it be possible to disagree? Any idea or any possibility is better than sending a rebellion and emergency telegram to the court for help.

Fang Bingsheng was not embarrassed to feel sorry for Liu Guojian, and he worked hard for him, mainly because his butt was not clean. It was really a rebellion by Liu Guojian. He had to spend half a year in the interrogation in the General Security Department of the Capital City or the Dungeon of the Mission Department? And staying in the yamen, isn’t he equivalent to Liu Guojian’s hostage? If the other party really attacked, wouldn’t he have to risk his life to save himself.

He shot and killed someone? Can Liu Guojian really hold this matter for rebellion? Can he really prove his innocence? The Song Dynasty court had just been founded for more than ten years. Although there was corruption, it was the new dynasty, and the administration was better than the Qing Dynasty. The emperor was a tyrant and rude man, and he was better than the hooligans. Therefore, the officials of the Song Dynasty were not as easy as those of the Qing Dynasty. If Liu Guojian couldn't hold it, wouldn't he be his accomplice to falsely report the rebellion and escape from the blame?

Therefore, Fang Bingsheng realized that he should take the risk of going out. Even if he is a person who negotiates or is imprisoned by the Public Security Bureau when he goes out, it is a hundred times better than squatting in the yamen and sharing life and death with Liu Guojian.

"A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall" - How good is Confucius said! Just live well and want to rely on the battlefield where bullets fly? Isn't that sick?

So Fang Bingsheng left the yamen and entered the public security bureau.

Sitting on the rickshaw "voluntarily provided" by Longchuan Hall, Fang Bingsheng was startled as soon as he arrived outside the Public Security Bureau: the Public Security Bureau was brightly lit, and there were horses tied under the building. Several police carriages were parked - this means that the other party already knew it, and the entire army could be dispatched immediately, and there were plans to dispatch the entire army, but which side did he support?

Walking to the corridor of the director's office, Fang Bingsheng paused, held his breath, opened his eyes wide and raised his ears: The corridor is full of sheriffs! And there are fierce quarrels.

The door of the director's office was wide open, and the light and shadow of the glass oil lamp inside was nailed to the wall opposite the door. With this curtain as the boundary, the two groups of police officers took one side.

On the one hand, Ou Xingsun was the leader. Everyone under his command had live ammunition. He could hold two guns, but not only had one gun. The bullet bags were packed in bulging shapes, and they stood in two rows against the wall;

On the one hand, it was not so neat and uniform. Many police officers were even dressed in disheveled clothes. They seemed to have just been shouted from the bed and stood in disarray. The preparations were not very good. Many people had no batons in addition to police uniforms, and two or three were wearing underwear slippers. The police badge was placed on the loose underwear chest. The pistol was hung around their necks with a rope. It was probably just that they had just run from the bed.

The two groups were discussing each other loudly through the director's door, and they started to scold each other when they arrived at the heart.

Ou Xingsun called:

"This Xi Shengmo rebels!"

"He was suspended! How could he still check the gambling?"

"The people who shot and killed the yamen are still attacking the county magistrate's yamen. This is a rebellion! Is our Public Security Bureau a decoration? We should go out to suppress/suppress these bastards immediately!"

.....

On the other side, the people were neutral or sympathetic to Xi Shengmo, and even voluntary people who rushed into the yamen and fired a few shots:

"Don't you call me so fierce? Isn't the Yamen Teahouse just a casino? Who doesn't know about the county town?! We will suspend our jobs if we check the gambling management and do not suspend our jobs? Do we ignore the robbery when we see it on the road?"

"I checked the bet. If the other party saw the scene and took a gun at me, of course I would have to shoot. This was written in the police manual!"

"Hey, hey, I support Inspector Xi. Let's go to the yamen to catch those gambling sticks now! Hey, I forgot the police gun at home. Whoever is unhappy to go, lend it to me!"

"Tsk, who runs to the Fujian teahouse every day? Someone protects the casino, I'm afraid he has collected the black money?"

…………….

Seeing these sheriffs perform like this, Fang Bingsheng took a deep breath. He already understood that Director Zhang was also hesitating to support which side, so his subordinates were divided into two factions.

"It seems that I'm right here!" Fang Bingsheng thought to himself, gritted his teeth, and made up his mind to convince Director Zhang.
To be continued...
