At dawn, the lively city is running as always.
The soldiers who were in charge of patrolling at night, the garrison, and the soldiers handed in shifts to their companions during the day. They gathered near the Maha Pond and had a breakfast. After that, they gathered again to make a summary of the whole work of last night, and then go on. dissolve.
Some went home to sleep, while others rushed to see their companions who were injured last night.
On the patrol city side, the statistics and interrogation of the arrested gangsters are still in full swing. Once a lot of news is finalized, in the next few days, there will be a new round of arrests or simple tea interviews in the city.
Near several city gates, the flow of people who wanted to leave the city almost blocked the road, but the announcement above has also been released: Just like the troubles of the bandits last night, the opening time of Chengdu in the city today was delayed by three hours. Some Zhuji members recorded prominent names on the wooden buildings near the city gate.
The periodic summary news has been reviewed at the temporary headquarters near the patrol city division after breakfast, and the list of the first batch of arrests has also been decided. Not long after, Ning Yi and the others arrived here, and together with the others, they listened to the report on the entire chaotic situation last night.
"... The basic situation of the chaos that broke out last night has now been clearly investigated. From the explosion in the No. 3 courtyard of Yumofang in the north of the city at the beginning of the night, the number of people who participated in the chaos throughout the night and directly clashed with us is currently 450 people. One person, among the 451 people, 132 people died on the spot or due to serious injuries, and 235 people were arrested. Some of them are currently being interrogated. I gave it up, and we have already started to invite people over here..."
The report of the situation summary is being done by Ning Xi. Although he stayed up all night last night, the young man basically did not see much signs of fatigue. He felt quite excited about the decision of Fang Shuchang and others to arrange for him to make a report, because his father usually regarded him as a It is used as a follower, and only when it is released can you get a little sweetness of important things.
"There are more than 400 people..." Ning Yi said.
"The main focus is on the two periods of chaos at Xu Shi and Zi Shi." Ning Xi said, "There was a sudden movement in the city around Xu Shi, and many people came out to watch the fun, some of which were conflicting with us, and some because of The prior arrangement was persuaded to be dismissed. The actual number of conflicts during this period is estimated to be close to 200. Because of Ren Jingzhu’s instigation, there were more than 100 people trying to make trouble. It has been investigated clearly, mainly from Guan The two groups of Shanhai and Huang Nanzhong... The rest of the time there are more than 100 scattered people, of course, the number reported by the patrol team may overlap."
"...In addition, we have also investigated the explosion of Yu Mofang at Xu Shi Mo." Ning Xi laughed when he said this, "It is said that the gangster named Shi Yuanmeng rented the yard here."
He stared at his father over the table, Ning Yi waited for a moment, then frowned: "Say, is this an important person?"
Ning Xi looked at the file with a smile: "Well, this guy is called Shi Yuanmeng, he tells everyone about what happened when his father killed the king, saying that you entered the Golden Palace together, and that he was next to you before he knelt down. It wasn't long before you shot... He remembered it for the rest of his life."
"...Oh, he." Ning Yi remembered, and smiled at this time, "I remember, the popular man under Tan Zhen's back then... Then he said."
"He wanted to take revenge, so he went to the city to get two big barrels of gunpowder, ready to transport it to the bottom of the Green Water Bridge, and then re-order it when your frame passed. He has seventeen trusted brothers, one of whom is Zhuji in The insider placed outside, because the situation was urgent at the time, the news could not be delivered for a while. Our insider comrade made an expedient deal. He took advantage of these people to get together and lit gunpowder, and Shi Yuanmeng was seriously injured by the explosion... Later, it caused a riot in the whole city. The comrade is very guilty and is waiting for punishment. This is his information."
Since he was doing espionage work, it was not suitable for him to say his name in public. Ning Xi handed a document sealed in flame paint to his father. Ning Yi took it and put it down, not intending to watch it.
"He's just on a mission, there's nothing wrong with it, and the explosion was just right. These guys made a lot of thunder and little rain. If they don't start, I want to help them." Ning Yi said with a smile, "Go on."
"Well, in the chaos last night, we also had casualties... According to the current statistics, four soldiers were sacrificed, and more than 30 people were seriously injured. The situation mainly occurred when dealing with some Lulin people who were good at partial kung fu. Sometimes they were unprepared. …the list of sacrifices is here…and…”
Ning Xi roughly finished the report. Ning Yi nodded: "According to the predetermined plan, the matter is not over yet, in the next few days, the arrest should be made, the agreement should be made, and the sentence should be sentenced, but the trial must be rigorous, the evidence is conclusive, and the evidence is not enough. Yes, let it go... I won't say more for the time being, everyone has been busy all night, there is no need to drive too long when it comes to the meeting, if there is no more things to do, let's go first, and have a good rest... Old Hou, I have something to talk about. you say."
The crowd began to break up, Ning Yi summoned Hou Wu and walked outside together, he said with a smile, "Let's go to rest in the morning, maybe in the afternoon I'll let the shopkeeper Tan come to contact you. Regarding arresting and releasing people, he will There are some articles to do, you can sum it up."
Hou Wu nodded. Tan Ping is currently the manager of Zhuji's propaganda in Chengdu, but unlike Yong Jinnian and others in official propaganda, Tan Ping manages the dark lines, such as public opinion guidance in newspapers and espionage online. news dissemination, etc. If it is said that the cultural propaganda led by Yong Jinnian, Li Shishi, etc. is to moisten things and influence people's hearts silently, Tan Ping's side is using paper as a knife and killing people with words. It is also his credit that the public opinion guidance in the city has been so successful recently.
As for what kind of article Tan Ping was going to do, Ning Yi didn't say it directly, and Hou Wuben didn't ask, but he could probably guess some clues. After leaving here, Ning Xi and Min Chuyi chased after him from behind. Ning Yi looked at him suspiciously, and Ning Xi smiled: "Dad, there is a small matter, Uncle Fang and the others don't know how to say it directly, so they let him go. I'll come and report in private."
"… What's up?"
"Hehe." Ning Xi scratched the back of her head, "...Second brother."
"... What did he do again?"
"Second brother, he is injured." Ning Xi whispered.
Ning Yi gave him a white look: "It's not a big deal if he doesn't die, you finish it all at once."
"...Last night, after Ren Jingzhu made trouble, Huang Nanzhong and Guan Shanhai's subordinate Yan Ying ran around the city with people, and later went to the second brother's yard and kidnapped the second brother..."
"Holding?"
"It's just kidnapping. There are 20 people in total, including the injured Chen Wei and Chen Wei's younger brother Qin Gang. They are the second brother who met at the competition, so they used to force the second brother to treat the wounds... These 20 people I went for two halfway through, looking for someone to find a way to escape from Chengdu, so there were 18 people in total, and they had a conflict with the second brother when it was almost dawn in the early morning..."
Ning Xi's words were calm, trying to brush away the twists and turns in the middle, Ning Yi was silent for a moment: "Since your second brother is only injured, what happened to these eighteen people...?"
"One ran away."
"Did one run away?"
"Dad, don't do this, the second brother is not a bad person. He is surrounded and beaten by eighteen people by himself, and it is normal that he can't keep his hand. This is the 'justifiable defense' you said in the court, and he runs away. One was lost, and the rest were not all dead. A few were injured and two were still alive when the patrol passed by, but the blood could not stop... Chen Wei and Qin Gang were seriously injured in the room. , because the second brother threw a grenade…”
The shade of the tree swayed, and the morning sun was very good. The father and son stood under the eaves for a while, and Min Chuyi stood beside him with a solemn expression.
"This is still a pot... He has done a good job in killing the enemy. Isn't the third-class performance promised before is not enough?"
"Father, this matter is not the most important thing." Ning Xi thought for a while, "The most interesting thing is that there was a woman among them who was cut twice during the fight. The second brother saved her, and later returned it to this girl. The woman made a guarantee that she was not a bad person... Dad, it's like this, this woman's name is Qu Longjun. After the second brother's confession, this woman followed a scholar named Wen Shoubin into the city to make trouble. , mainly to introduce her to... me. Then come to our Huaxia Army to be a spy."
Ning Xi said this, and looked at Min Chuyi awkwardly in the middle. Min Chuyi's face was not angry, while Ning Yi looked at the stool under the tree next to the yard, and said at this time: "What do you say about this situation? It's a bit complicated, I don't quite understand it, let's go to the side, and you carefully explain things to me."
"The situation is very complicated. After I went to see the second brother, I was a little confused." In the autumn sunshine, Ning Xi reluctantly talked about the second brother and the song Longjun in the shade of the tree: "The second brother came back. Later, I became a military doctor in a martial arts tournament... One day I heard someone talking bad about us on the street. This person was Wen Shoubin... My second brother followed me to monitor... Over a month... The little girl named Qu Longjun, My father's name was Qu Rui. He led the troops to fight our Xiaocang River and died in confusion... Qu Long?a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection" css="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="d29092" >[email protected]#￥#@%… Wen Shoubin just @###￥%&… and then the second brother &&&&%￥￥￥%##… Then last night... "
After his description, Ning Yi rubbed his forehead, quite helpless. Ning Xi was equally helpless, why did the second brother put up such a thing: "So the current situation is that the people who want to make trouble are mainly Wen Shoubin. , there is no subjective will to find trouble, and he committed suicide once in the middle. Now Wen Shoubin is also dead, the little girl is seriously injured, and the second brother intends to save her life, this matter... "
The young man gestured with his eyes, and Ning Yi looked at him.
"… "
After a while, Ning Yi sighed: "So this matter, you are thinking... Does your second brother fall in love with others?"
"Hey, Dad, that's what happened." The news finally reached his father's mind accurately, and Ning Xi's expression suddenly became gossip, "You said... If this is true, the second brother and this girl are also true. Nie Yuan, this girl's father was killed by us, if you really like it, my mother won't let her in..."
"It's more than a little bit of evil." Ning Yi said, "And this girl Qu was trained to seduce you from the very beginning. If you brothers turn against each other for this..."
"Father, I've never met that girl Qu. I'm innocent, but I heard she's beautiful and talented."
"You heard about it at first. After hearing about it, according to your personality, can you just take a look? On the first day of the new year, have you been following him this morning?"
Min Chuyi looked at Ning Xi, frowned and thought about it: "After seeing the second brother, there will be a short period of time..."
"I went out to check on the bodies of Chen Wei and Qin Gang..." Ning Xi stared, and spread her hands to the fiancee opposite.
"… "
"I can't help you now." Ning Yi took out the information about Qu Longjun's life from his son, sat there and looked at it. After a while, he handed it over to Min Chuyi, "Okay, Ning Ji's affairs with this girl Qu, you will deal with it on the first day of the new year."
"Ah?" Min Chuyi blinked, "Then what should I... how do I deal with..."
"You can deal with it as you want, and I support you."
"Father, it is related to the second brother's life-long event. You can't play like that."
"He's only fourteen years old, and he's full of knives and guns. He knows what life's important matters. You can talk to your second brother a few more times."
Ning Yi scoffed at the eldest son's mother-in-law, shook her hand and walked away, hearing Ning Xi and Chu Yi fighting in the back. Not long after, he met Chen Fan outside the door and told Chen Fan about Ning Ji's feat this morning.
"...I waited all night, and I didn't see anyone who could kill him. This guy Xiaoji killed seventeen in one go."
He sighed: "It seems that it's time to send it back to school sooner..."
****************
The sun rose to mid-heaven, and the city was as chaotic as ever.
In the clear sky, Ning Yi walked into the small yard where his second son was still resting after he was injured. He sat by the hospital bed for a while, and the boy who was not mentally damaged woke up. Tenly confessed what happened in the recent period of time, the confusion in his heart and the subsequent answers, and about the death of Chen Wei, Qin Gang and others, he confessed that in order to prevent the other party from seeking revenge after the recovery.
When Ning Ji talked about the theory that it was not a dinner party, Ning Yi reached out and touched Ning Ji's head: "There are those who can persuade and those who are not convinced. There is a difference in methodology."
He then asked about Ning Ji's connection with Huang Nanzhong's gang. Ning Ji confessed to the small matter of selling drugs during the competition. He originally hoped to use the drugs to find out where the other party was, so that they could deal with it when they started. Who knew that they didn't do anything for a month, but ended up using their small yard as a shelter for them to escape. This is really a chance to meet.
Destiny is a thousand miles away... Ning Yi covered his forehead and sighed.
Compared with the eldest son who has always been nurturing and doing things, Ning Yi has never had much to do with the second son, who is upright and pure, and doesn't even hide his thoughts in front of his family. They then chatted frankly with each other for a while in the ward, and when Ning Yi left, Ning Ji finished frankly about his mental journey, and fell asleep on the bed without any worries. His sleeping face and his mother Chan'er were generally delicate and pure.
…
In cities, deeper changes are taking place.
Yan Daolun walked out of the inn and went to the Huaxia Army to pay attention to the progress of the negotiation and negotiation, and at the same time to inquire about what happened yesterday. On the streets of the city, members of the Huaxia Army can occasionally be seen walking around, and order has been restored in most places. Only some of the courtyards burned by the flames left traces of yesterday's chaos.
Yu Hezhong in the yard heard the development of the incident from the vivid descriptions of his companions. The first round of the situation has been quickly reported by the newsprint. The whole chaos last night started with a stupid accident: a gangster named Shi Yuanmeng hoarded gunpowder and tried to assassinate Ning Yi. The gunpowder keg was set on fire. Killed and injured himself and sixteen companions.
"This is the Huaxia Army's response, this is the Huaxia Army's response!" Guan Shanhai ran in the yard with the newspaper, and now he clearly knew that this stupid start and the calm response of the Huaxia Army in the chaos were destined to be The whole thing has turned into a joke that will be remembered for years - the Huaxia Army's public opinion offensive will ensure that this joke is always funny.
Compared with the gaffe on the face, he was more worried about the Huaxia Army troops who might come to the door at any time. Yan Ying and the damage of a lot of his subordinates made it not difficult for things to come to him. But in this case, he knew he couldn't go.
Sure enough, before noon, someone knocked on the door and politely asked him to go to Xuncheng Division for a cup of strong tea.
Small-scale arrests are being carried out, and people gradually know who has participated and who has not. In the afternoon, more details were revealed. Yesterday all night, no one of the assassins had seen Ning Yi even once, and many of the people in the green forest who damaged the houses and objects in the city during the disturbance even It has been counted by the Huaxia Army, and the first round of verbal criticism began in the newspapers.
Later, some great Confucians, including Guan Shanhai, were released by the City Tour Division. Since the evidence is not very sufficient, the patrol city division is not even interested in imprisoning them for one night to give them a little more fame. In private, news that some Confucian scholars have secretly made deals with the Huaxia Army and sold martial arts for glory also began to spread - this is not difficult to understand.
Yang Tiehuai, the most active "Huaigong" in the process of gathering and lobbying all parties, did not let his subordinates participate in the chaos in the end. No one knows whether he didn't plan to do it from the beginning, or whether he delayed it until the end and found that there was no chance to do it. On the 22nd day, a wounded man from the Green Forest stopped Yang Tiehuai's car on the road and tried to assassinate him. The old dog hides behind, you shrewd thief, I'm going to kill you to avenge your brother—"
The man from the Green Forest was caught by the soldiers of the Huaxia Army who rushed over and thrown into prison. Yang Tiehuai, who was still wearing gauze on his forehead, stood on the carriage, his fists clenched and his face as awe-inspiring. This is also what he looked like when he was arguing with a group of fools and fools and his head was hit by a stone.
Newspapers in the city then tracked and reported on the small chaos: it was revealed that Yang Tiehuai was one of the lobbyists and organizers of the Twenty Night Assassination. The attack was fortunately stopped after being discovered by nearby patrol officers, and the patrol city division conducted an investigation after that. Indeed, this statement was unfounded. Yang Tiehuai himself, his subordinates, and his family would be behind closed doors on the 20th night, and there was no reason to do so. Bad deeds, the Huaxia Army condemned the rumors and cold-blooded acts that hurt such Confucian pillars...
The autumn wind is comfortable, and the sunset that penetrates into the autumn wind is bright red. This early autumn, people from all over the world who came to Chengdu greeted the Huaxia Army, and the Huaxia Army responded, and then people heard the sound of the mountain disintegrating in their hearts. They thought they were very powerful and thought they had united. . However, the Huaxia Army stood still.
And they themselves, after this collision, fell apart.
Some people began to question the integrity of the great Confucians in the debate, some people began to publicly state that they wanted to participate in the Huaxia Army exam, and those who had previously secretly bought books and attended cram schools began to become more upright. Some of the old Confucian scholars in Chengdu are still publishing articles on the newsprint, some exposing the sinister arrangement of the Huaxia army, some criticizing a group of rabble that cannot be trusted, and some Confucian scholars who cut off their robes and cut off justice, publish news in newspapers, and even criticize them. There are articles about Acura sacrificing warriors in this chaos, only with more or less warnings.
The waves of public opinion are gradually expanding, penetrating deep into people's hearts. The situation in the city became quieter and more complicated in such an atmosphere.
Of course, such complexity is only the feeling of some people who are in it.
On the evening of the 23rd, the hospital room smelled of medicine, and the sun came in from one side of the window. Qu Longjun lay on the bed with some discomfort, feeling the pain that continued behind him, and then someone came in from the door.
She thought it was the female doctor she had seen in the past two days or the female nurse who fed her, and she turned her head to say hello, but then her eyes were fixed, the coldness spread, and her whole body tensed.
The one who came in through the door under the setting sun was the little doctor who was wearing a white coat. Although his eyebrows looked handsome, he was obviously in a bad mood—
Long Aotian.
…
At the same moment, on the post road in the eastern suburbs of Chengdu, a convoy was heading towards the city. The convoy was protected by soldiers of the Huaxia Army. Above the second large car, someone was staring deeply at this vibrant evening from the curtain. Beside him, sat Li Ximing who followed Chen Shanjun to reform in Lao Niutou after being threatened by Ning Yi.
"...We paid a lot of money, but we kept the golden dog in front of Zizhou. Look at Chengdu, the rice is about to ripen. This autumn, we will have a good harvest."
The members of the Huaxia Army who were driving subconsciously talked about these things with the people inside. Chen Shanjun watched quietly, and tears gradually came out of his old eyes. Originally, they were also soldiers of the Huaxia Army - the more than 1,000 people who split from Lao Niutou were originally the most determined group of soldiers. They missed the battle of the Southwest...
After dinner that day, they met Ning Yi.
