late Qing Dynasty arrest

The theater building in Xiejiaying put up a banner "Criticism Conference", and on the pillars there are also two characters "Down with Xiantian Dao" and "Put Apusa to death". An unprecedented government criticism meeting against Xiantian Dao will be held here.The whole venue was decorated solemnly and grandly, colorful flags were flying around the venue, people were moving around the open venue, and more than [-] yamen servants and servants were already sweating profusely from their work.

The morning criticism meeting has not yet started, and thousands of people have come to see the lively Xiejiaying people and nearby neighbors who have heard the news. People in every corner are talking about gossip. There are all kinds of bright versions.

"I heard that the 48 female compatriots were miserable! The clothes were not covered, and the scene was so miserable that people couldn't bear to take another look."

Another retorted: "Dude, you're talking nonsense! Would you not watch it instead?"

"Hey, hey, hey!" A large group of old men burst into laughter, and they came here to join in the fun to see the 48 female compatriots.

The secret of the "dead well of corpses" made the people around them cry out in horror.

"I went to the maple forest house to see the skeletons. It's a huge pile! There are at least fifty or sixty remains. Centipedes, black snakes, and ants in the skeletons, ah, how disgusting and disgusting it is, I'm pretty good, no Vomit on the spot."

Gathered into piles of people, everyone has their own harvest. Many people still hold a small paper red flag in their hands. The dangling red flags have gathered into a sea of ​​red.

The crowd cheered louder than loud, and Ai Hai's team of guards led a group of women compatriots into the venue. The crowd scrambled to see the faces of 48 compatriots.

Heroic and elegant without makeup, slim and graceful, wearing plain clothes and combing high buns, some women are elegant and vulgar, and some women wear a little makeup.

Some women have raised eyebrows, wide-open almond eyes, and a murderous look on their bodies. They are wary of everyone and don't care about the provocative ridicule of the people around them.

Although the road to the backstage was only a short 50 meters, this group of people walked with difficulty. Under the strict guard of a large group of guards, it took more than five minutes for 48 female compatriots to walk into the backstage of the theater building.

"Each has its own merits!" "Round fat, swallows and thin, each takes what he needs!" "Down with the innate way, and avenge the women compatriots!"

"Smash Apusa to death! He is a scum of innate dao!"

The voices at the venue were louder than louder, and even children were chanting slogans. There were many people behind the stage. Li Guolou accompanied Bao Yitong, condolences to 48 women compatriots, and shared the resumes of women compatriots who had experienced hardships one by one. , Speak a few words to encourage these women compatriots to face difficulties and obstacles.

Bao Yitong said sadly: "My fellow women, I am late and have wronged you. Fortunately, I got the news and rescued you from the cage. Today is the time to settle accounts with Xiantian Dao. You are still doing well." Performance, vent out the resentment in your heart. When the criticism conference is over, I promise you that I will properly arrange your future life. No one can enslave you, and no one can discriminate against you. The later resettlement plan has already begun Prepare and you will all have a bright future."

The women compatriots thanked them for their blessings, knelt down and kowtowed, with water in their eyes, they shouted, "Bao Qingtian is finally here! We are finally looking forward to Bao Qingtian!"

Bao Yitong squinted his eyes slightly, sitting on the grand teacher's chair and enjoying the confiding of the mountain and tsunami outside, he was in a good mood, good things came in pairs, one after another, he came from the capital after a tiring day.Everything has been arranged properly, waiting for him to give a speech on a big occasion.

The only regrettable thing for Bao Tongtong is that Hong Jun, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, also came to join in and ask for a share of credit.Seeing Li Guolou bowing down and respecting Hong Jun, the Minister of Officials who was born as the No. [-] Scholar, Bao Yitong felt jealous in his heart.As a person who was born in a major, who would not envy Zhuangyuan Lang, he could only ask Zhuangyuan Lang for advice with his shallow knowledge on the scene.

The disciples of the emperor have a unique advantage. The number one scholar is hand-picked by the emperor, commonly known as the disciples of the emperor. The speed of promotion is incomparable with other Jinshi and rank.Hong Jun, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, is less than 40 years old, and has already sat on an equal footing with Bao. In the future, he will be a strong enemy and a partner for his promotion to the cabinet.

At this time, Li Guolou was in a dilemma. On the one hand, his chief officer Bao sat down with him, and on the other hand, Hong Jun, the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, asked him to question him. Could he not do his duty with all his heart and report back one by one?Hong Jun is the number one scholar, and finally has the opportunity to step into the ranks of cultural people. How can Li Guolou miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, telling everything he knows, and telling the whole story of the case.He didn't dare to look at the expression on the officer Bao Tong's face, and pretended to answer respectfully.

"Oh! It turned out that Master Bao had obtained the information a long time ago, but why didn't Master Bao arrest the people of Xiantian Dao when he returned to Beijing?" Hong Jun likes to find out the root cause, and even asked about the whole story in full view.

Li Guolou hurriedly bowed and answered: "My lord, the remnants of the White Lotus Sect are still in the capital. Lord Bao has no skills at all, and he doesn't want to scare the snake. That's why I asked him to come back to the capital to find out the truth. After receiving the great efforts of Huang Zhenzhang and others With the assistance, the facts of the case came to light." After speaking, Li Guolou glanced at **, why is the officer of ** so virtuous?Asking questions in public, how embarrassing he is, if he asks any more questions, he will be embarrassed.

**Understanding, holding an iron horn, he strode forward, bowed and said: "My lords, the front desk is ready, please come to the venue and say a few words."

"Master Hong, please!" "Master Bao, please!"

The two adults were courteous to each other, of course Zhuangyuan Lang walked in front, and the officials of the Qing Dynasty, who pay attention to etiquette, took turns to take the second seat, and followed the two senior officials into the front desk.

The two salutes next to the venue sounded empty, and the pungent smell of smoke scattered. The people in the venue covered their ears and closed their mouths. Then there was the most enthusiastic applause and shouts. front desk.

The master of ceremonies shouted loudly: "Kowtow to Mr. Hong and Mr. Bao!"

There was a clatter of people, except for the guards on duty, all of them knelt on the ground, "Kowtow to Master Hong and Master Bao!" Although the voice was not very orderly, the scene was absolutely shocking.

"Please get up!" "Please get up!" "Excuse me!" "Excuse me!"

Li Guolou looked at the meeting place, and there were many people climbing on the big tree next to him. The people in the meeting place were waving flags and shouting excitedly, shouting slogans, there is danger next time.

"Mayor Huang, protect the safety of the two adults. Don't let the women compatriots come to the stage. After the two adults finish speaking, let Hong and Bao leave the venue immediately. The criticism meeting will be postponed." Li Guolou was frightened and made a fuss. If it is not good, the excited common people will rush to the stage, and the lives of those on the stage will be in danger.

** In her heart, she was complaining that her subordinates were not good at handling things, which made the stage overcrowded, but on the surface she still maintained her official manners, and said with a casual smile: "Captain Li, don't worry, I have already made arrangements, everything will be safe."

"Papa, papa!" The four yamen servants in the audience shook their whips, the surroundings finally became silent, and the young lady said loudly, "Now, I would like to ask Master Hong, Minister of Rites, to say a few words."

Hong Jun took a few steps forward, came to the stage, took off his official hat, bowed to the people in the audience, and said with a mournful face: "I am sorry for you, and I blame myself very much for what happened to the Xie Family Camp. Here, I will first apologize to the people of Xiejiaying."

"Thanks to Mr. Hong! Mayor Huang has done his best!" "Mr. Hong can come to us, we are very grateful!" "Down with Xiantian Dao and kill Apusa!" "Long live the Qing Empire! Long live my emperor!" "After the noise, Hong Jun said solemnly and solemnly: "It is benevolence to repay one's kindness without forgetting it; it is righteousness of the time to repay one's merits without forgetting one's merits.We should be loyal to the king and serve the country, and we have done our best with benevolence and righteousness;;;;;;”

Hong Jun eloquently spoke ancient Chinese classics, and the common people were silent, looking at the champion Lang Hong Jun in reverence.Li Guolou listened silently, feeling awkward, every sentence was quoted from other sources, he could still understand, but it was exhausting.Ordinary people who can't read big characters are just listening to the scriptures.

Finally it was Bao's turn to join the stage, and the audience was completely changed. The black crowd knelt down again and shouted, "Bao Qingtian!"In an instant, the dark crowd crowded towards the front of the stage, and the scene was a little out of control.

Li Guolou led his men to fight on the front line, using his strong arms to stop the madness of the people.Other policemen and members of the militia used the water and fire sticks in their hands as weapons to suppress the crowds who were coming forward.

Bao said with a smile: "Fathers, folks, don't squeeze, don't squeeze! I heard from my official that if you squeeze again, you will be in danger. I, Bao, came to Xiejiaying together to rescue those female compatriots who have been bullied , but also to return justice and morality to you. Let each of you be bathed in the grace of the emperor. I am ashamed to do something utterly devoid of conscience. The crime is heinous and unspeakable. It makes us grit our teeth. How can I spare them. The chief culprit, Apusa, should be severely punished by the criminal law. One of the 56 principal offenders No forgiveness. This action is also a warning to those who have ulterior motives, not to challenge the Qing regime, there will be no good end to rebellion;;;;;;”

Bao Tong has excellent eloquence, he speaks the vernacular, he will say what he thinks, and he will not stop for a while.Let the crowd under the stage say, "Yes!"

Of course, it is good to speak human language, which can be understood by ordinary people who have no knowledge or culture.The stage and the audience echo each other, and the words of gratitude are expressed with emotion.

Li Guolou stretched out his arms and exerted great strength to block the swarming crowd. The wall of human flesh was crumbling. In the roar of the mountain and the tsunami, the wall of human flesh of officers and soldiers was like a small boat, which would be submerged at any time.The officers and soldiers in the audience hoped that Bao Yitong's closing statement would be shorter. They were human beings, not water and fire sticks, and they all felt exhausted and hoarse.

Bao Yitong also felt the commotion of the crowd, and he dared not speak any further. He flicked his horseshoe sleeves and turned back to the backstage of the theater.On the stage, only the mayor ** and the security chief Xie Chenyuan and a group of local snakes from the Xie family camp looked dignifiedly at the audience, which made the crowd quiet.

Escorted by a large group of guards, all the chiefs from the capital left the venue. The next good show was about to be staged, and the crowd who were looking forward to it let out boos one after another.

"Mayor Huang brought out 48 female compatriots!" "Chairman Xie Bao, what about those who are born with the Tao! Bring them out."

Holding an iron trumpet in his hand, Mayor Huang is complacent that he has become the organizer, planner, and instigator of the criticism meeting.Zheng'er Bajing said: "Come on! Bring the 56 criminals up!"

But I saw 56 Xiantiandao criminals with their hands tied behind their backs, wearing tall hats made of paper, and their faces were painted in a haphazard manner.Some people put rouge on their cheeks, others painted a turtle on their foreheads, and some even wore women's clothes.

Now the people in the audience were happy, roaring with laughter, mocking the criminals on the stage and the criminals kneeling in the front row, throwing the sundries they carried with them at the group of ugly monsters, shouting, "Down with Xiantian Dao! Shatter the East Shock Hall! Down with Apusa! The rebels will die!"

The sound of lang is louder than lang, rotten eggs, rotten vegetable skins, mud, and gravel are flying all over the sky, and the raging rally has just begun.
