That night, Zhou Wenbing divided into two groups. Miaohua took people to the county jail to rescue Lin Yun and his son and cousin Wang Chenghao. He brought 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 already gone to bed. I just heard that a group of soldiers arrived at Zhou Jinghai's house today. I don't know why, and Zhang Youfeng didn't spread any news. I felt a little uneasy, wondering whether Zhou Jinghai had some military backing.
When I felt nervous, I tossed and turned and fell asleep uneasily. After finally being confused for a while, I suddenly found that the light in the bedroom was lit. He quickly sat up and took a look, and saw a young officer wearing a full body armor, an armed belt, and long leather boots, 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 to the bed again.
The county magistrate was so frightened that his heart was pounding. 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, feeling a vaguely familiar face. Gradually, this face overlapped with that of the young man he had seen before. I began to shiver in my heart, and the shivers spread from my heart to my 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? Are you a little disappointed? You should be. In your mouth, a man who was blown to pieces by artillery in July appears alive again 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, 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 shouted 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 national 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 saw that the identity on the officer's ID card was the colonel and security director of the Shanxi branch of the Central Party Headquarters. The letter of appointment is a blank letter of appointment from the county magistrate of Lishi County, Shanxi Province, stamped with the seal of the National Government.
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 the emperor and the courtiers, you, Marshal Yan, have resigned, and Shanxi Province has been nominally under the jurisdiction of the National Government. Then those local officials appointed by Marshal Yan before were a bit unfair.
Now the special commissioner from the party department has arrived, bringing with him the appointment from the government. According to the previous principal's strategy of being cautious but patient, it was basically just a formality. It turns out that whoever becomes the county magistrate now writes his name on the appointment letter, which means that he has been recognized by the National Government and is justified.
But if there really is a blind person who insists on jumping out and looking for trouble, Commissioner Low wouldn'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, intending to make Lishi 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, grabbed the collar of his pajamas, and dragged him to the window. He reached out and pushed open the window, and a cold wind rushed in. The county magistrate, who was only wearing pajamas, was shivering all over. However, what made him feel colder than the cold wind was 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 alone?"
…
The next day, well-known squires and business owners in Lishi County were invited to the county government for a meeting by heavily armed soldiers. The courtyard of the county government was filled with chairs. After everyone sat down, they started talking about it.
"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 have been set up on the city towers. Those soldiers from outside said that there were bandits in the city and wanted to seal the city. One day, eliminate the banditry."
"Of course I know. Not only is the city closed, but I also 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 too 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. It seems that the boss has 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 someone pointed a machine gun at them. Some of the rough ones were knocked down on the spot. Li Yifu's captain's son also His hands and feet were broken. Tsk, tsk, tsk, that’s amazing! Just a few dozen young people sealed off a city."
"It's not that 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, more than a dozen people from the security team fell down without even seeing a single person. 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 a big deal."
"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."... …
