Wu Sanfeng glared at Wei Bao gloomily, but like Wu Xuexia and Wu Sangui, he didn't say anything.

Wei Bao accepted all this calmly, did not have a seizure, and secretly knew that he would not accompany Wu Xiang at noon today, except for aggravating the contradiction, there was no benefit.

But what is there in the world that can be known earlier? Even if I could have guessed that this was the case, I couldn't help but give it a try.

Everyone is like a decoration in a disaster movie, ready to attack, but they don't know when they should be.

Wu Sanfu followed Wu Xiang's meaning and entered the restaurant where the classmates would have a banquet.

Everyone was wondering why Wei Bao and Wu Sanfu, the two conveners, had disappeared, and they were all a little unsure, and they were all very happy to see Wu Sanfu come back.

Wu Sanfu's popularity in Shanhai Academy is excellent, and his prestige is also extremely high, because he is not only noble, but also approachable, he has no shelf for anyone, and he can talk about going with anyone.

Of course, most of the students from poor families have backbone, such as when someone in the family is seriously ill, or one of their parents has died, and they don't have the money to buy the simplest funeral, so that their relatives can be buried, so they will find Wu Sanfu.

In this year of great calamity, nine out of ten families are like this in the year of such a catastrophe, and it is unlikely that they will open their mouths to borrow money from others.

The children of the poor family are still so good with Wu Sanfu, not to mention a group of rich children.

These rich children are hesitating now, I don't know what the situation is between the Wu family and Wei Bao, if the Wu family also befriends Wei Bao, there is no need for them to wait, although half of the gambling money is a bit less than expected after three years, it is better than the silver is lost, and it is also acceptable.

"Wu Gongzi, come, sit down and drink, you're not here, we're all bored." Wang Dongming said to Wu Sanfu enthusiastically. Wang Dongming's enthusiasm for Wu Sanfu is better than that of Wei Bao, this is not perfunctory, the relationship between people is called a sincere love.

Fang Anping, Wang Canhua and other rich children also warmly invited Wu Sanfu to sit down and drink.

Wu Sanfu smiled awkwardly, didn't know how to speak, stood in place, pondered his vocabulary a little, and then said: "Brothers, my father is in a hurry to go back to Shanhaiguan, and I can't stay here for long, let's meet again in the future." I have come to say goodbye to all of you. ”

When everyone heard this, they all regretted it and kept Wu Sanfu one after another.

"Wu Gongzi, you're gone, what's the point of us staying here?" Wang Canhua said loudly: "It's better for everyone to disperse!" ”

Immediately, many children of rich families echoed and said that they wanted to go with Wu Sanfu.

While Wu Sanfu was speaking, Wu Xiang, Wu Sanfeng, Wu Xuexia, Wu Sangui and others were waiting at the door.

After Wu Xiang clearly asked him not to send Wu Xiang, Wei Bao did not plan to send Wu Xiang, and at this time he came to the door of the banquet hall of the Fellow Students' Association, and heard Wang Canhua's loud words.

Wu Xiang didn't expect Wu Sanfu to have such a high prestige among his classmates, so he was secretly proud, glanced at Wei Bao, who was walking into the banquet hall of the classmates' association.

Wu Sanfeng and Wu Sangui also looked at Wei Bao with a sneer, secretly wondering if it weren't for Wu Sanfu, where would Wei Bao be able to invite so many children from big families to come to Weijiazhuang? A village boy doesn't know how thick the sky is when he has two pieces of silver! It needs to be specified, and fame is not something that exists, it takes several generations of family history to accumulate before it can be obtained.

Wu Xuexia couldn't help but stare at Wei Bao.

Wei Bao looked calm, not pretending not to hear, and not putting any expression on his face. I walked into the banquet hall very calmly.

It is said that in the last life in modern times, Wei Bao is a scumbag at the bottom of the society who has suffered from the trough of life, even in this life, after being reborn through Weijiazhuang, Wei Bao has also experienced the painful situation of a family without food and clothing, three meals of wind and rain, and almost being expelled from the golden mountain, this bit of language humiliation is a fart for Wei Bao.

"You don't have to be like this, isn't there still Gongzi Wei? By the way, I will not sign what Wei Gongzi said about raising Weijiazhuang to the imperial court, and I also remind you that this is not a trivial matter, if anyone signs, who will be the enemy of the entire family in Liaoxi and Liaodong. We are one in Liaoxi and Liaodong, everyone is not divided from each other, what does it mean to get a Zhuangzi out alone? Of course, that's just what I mean, and I'm not asking you to think the same way I do. Wu Sanfu continued.

Wu Sanfu's words were a little ambiguous, but in general, they were still very beautiful, and Wu Xiang, who was standing at the door, nodded again and again.

Wu Xiang originally valued the eldest son Wu Sanfeng the most among his sons, because he felt that Wu Sanfeng was the most like himself, and Wu Sanfu was smart and smart, but he didn't care about anything, so Wu Xiang never paid much attention to this second son.

But Wu Sanfu has moved Wu Xiang twice and three times today, so that Wu Xiang is impressed by this second son, and feels that Wu Sanfu is a capable person, they are mixed with officials, they are not very capable of fighting, and they do not have to be smart, but they must be very good at talking and making friends, obviously, Wu Sanfu has these two advantages.

Wei Bao was choked by Wu Sanfu's anger, what about the good friends? Although this meaning was expressed by Wu Xiang and Wu Sanfu, Wei Bao was still a little sad, feeling that Wu Sanfu did not regard himself as a friend, and this dismantling of the stage could not be described as ruthless.

Originally, Wei Bao was confident in instigating this group of rich children, on the one hand, because in the alumni club, more than half of the children of the poor family, they must be of the same mind as themselves, after so many people signed, a group of rich children would at least be tempted and have ideas.

In addition, he also promised a generous interest of returning half of the gambling money after three years as an inducement, which is the most important thing.

But now that Wu Sanfu has come to say this, Wei Bao can't be sure.

Sure enough, after hearing what Wu Sanfu said, a group of rich children all agreed, and they all shouted that they couldn't sign, saying that Wei Bao asked them to come this time because they were uneasy and kind, and they all wanted to go with Wu Sanfu.

Everyone saw that Wei Bao hadn't spoken since he came in, thinking that Wei Bao would pretend to be 'dumb' to the end.

At this time, Wei Bao spoke, "I invited everyone to come, I really just want to organize everyone to get together and talk about the friendship between classmates, as for the matter of raising Weijiazhuang, it is only incidental." You are all people who have entered the school and are literate and well-read, you should all have your own ideas, and if I ask you to do this, will you do it? Or is it someone else who tells you to do something, and you blindly follow it without thinking? ”

What Wu Sanfu said just now was very vague, and what Wei Bao said was even more subtle.

Wei Bao didn't want to tear his face with Wu Xiang and a group of rich children, whether it was successful or not, there was no need to tear his face, Wei Bao regarded this as a business, and the business was not benevolent.

Wu Xiang really admires Wei Bao's open-mindedness at this time, and it seems that no matter what time it is, Wei Bao is not in a hurry or impatient.

"Sansuke, let's go." Wu Sanfeng, under the instruction of Wu Xiang, shouted at the door.

Wu Sanfu agreed, nodded to Wei Bao, and wanted to leave.

Wei Bao grabbed Wu Sanfu and said softly: "Brother Sanfu, I hope not to destroy our friendship because of this incident." ”

Wu Sanfu nodded: "I understand." You have your ideas, the Wu family has the ideas of the Wu family, I didn't want to get involved. ”

"I'm not going to get you involved." Wei Bao smiled and said softly: "I have asked my father to accept Yan Hong as his goddaughter, you over there, you can arrange it yourself, if it is inconvenient to marry Yan Hong, come and see her often." ”

Wu Sanfu didn't expect Wei Bao to be so careful, so for his own sake, and he was moved in his heart, but he just nodded and left.

A group of rich classmates followed Wu Sanfu out, and the entire banquet hall was half empty at once.

Wei Bao instructed the servants to remove the dishes and chopsticks of those people, and said to a group of poor students: "Now, you can sit more relaxed." ”

The poor students laughed together, and everyone admired Wei Gongzi's emotions when they saw that they were not affected.

Wu Xiang walked outside the guest house with a large group of people, and when he heard bursts of laughter inside, his face was gloomy.

"Dad, don't pay attention to him, this is Wei Bao smiling, with our Wu family here, anyway, he doesn't want to get any Wei Jiazhuang out!" Wu Sanfeng said.

"I'm afraid it's not that simple." Wu Xiang sighed, looked at Wu Sanfu behind him, and dozens of rich children of Shanhai Academy behind Wu Sanfu, Wu Xiang secretly thought, these can't be unmoved, "Now that Wei Bao has released the rumor and expressed his willingness to make friends with the Wei family, half of the gambling money can be returned after three years, I estimate that someone will definitely come back to Weijiazhuang in private, the more anxious they are to leave now, the more they will show us." ”

"They dare! Dad, otherwise I'll scare them now, and whoever dares to come to Weijiazhuang in the future will be the enemy of our Wu family! Wu Sanfeng said.

"Don't worry too much, besides, can you stop the crowd? In less than one day, the news released by Wei Bao will spread throughout Liaoxi and Liaodong! Wu Xiang stopped Wu Sanfeng.

Wu Xuexia also said: "Wei Bao's trick is really powerful, there will definitely be people who make friends with Wei Bao in private." It seems that Wei Bao did not hesitate to make enemies of the Wu family's ancestral family in order to support a Wei family village. ”

"Will someone come to Weijiazhuang secretly? We sent people to wait at the intersection of Weijiazhuang Road, and whoever dared to come would write down their names and clean them up one by one! Wu Sanfeng said angrily.

"Big brother, I don't think it's necessary to do this, right?" Wu Sanfu said.

"How?" Wu Sanfeng looked at Wu Sanfu puzzled.

"Wei Bao can't let people come to this piece yet? And Wei Bao is not a key criminal in the court, can you still prohibit anyone from contacting him? Is it true that whoever comes into contact with Wei Bao will be punished? In that case, what else can others get except to say that our Wu family is narrow? If people want to come to Weijiazhuang, they will definitely come quietly and find all kinds of legitimate names. Wu Sanfu explained.

"Sanfu is right, you don't need to send more people to monitor, it's useless. Wei Bao is a smart person, and he naturally thinks of what we think. What's more, to get this Weijiazhuang was originally to provoke the status of the Wu family in Liaoxi, and he would have been our enemy a long time ago! We want him to back down, he thinks we can back down, but in the end no one will give in, this is destined to be a fight to the death! Wu Xiang said that he strode out of the Wei Mansion. To leave Weijiazhuang as soon as possible in a carriage, he didn't want to stay here for a moment now.

got a team of officers and soldiers to garrison Weijiazhuang, Wu Xiang knew very well that it would not play any role, at most it would be to block Wei Bao.

The plan to come to Weijiazhuang this time is completely wasted.

Weijiazhuang and the Wu family did not benefit from both sides.

Before Wu Xuexia got into the carriage, she couldn't help but look back at the Wei Mansion that was comparable to the Imperial Palace, the high-walled courtyard of the Wei Mansion, and the magnificent gatehouse, all of which showed Wei Bao's ambition.

Wu Xuexia sighed faintly, she didn't want to be like this with Wei Bao.

This time Wu Xuexia came to Weijiazhuang, she neither talked to Wei Bao, nor did Wei Bao come to talk to her, which also made Wu Xuexia feel slightly lost. In her heart, Wei Bao became more and more mysterious, and more and more lingering in her heart.

In the next few days, Wei Bao took a good rest and sent Wu Xiang away, making Wei Bao feel relaxed, he needed time to digest the previous psychological pressure and fatigue.

Sure enough, as Wu Xiang and Wu Xuexia expected, in the past few days, twenty or thirty principals of big families have quietly come to Weijiazhuang, signed and pressed their fingerprints on Weijiazhuang's letter of promotion to express their support.

It's a pity that most of these people are second- and third-rate merchants, and they belong to the bottom in the circle of big families in western Liaoning, and they don't have much weight.

Wei Bao naturally will not send this letter of promotion, which does not have much weight, to the palace, and it will not have much effect. Wei Bao didn't even have the idea of giving it a try.

This kind of letter of promotion must at least have the level of Wu Xiang, and it is useful to sign it by a loud person in the local area, so as to recognize his Weijiazhuang on behalf of the local forces, then it will be logical for the imperial court and the emperor to issue a holy decree and give Weijiazhuang a plaque.

After resting for a few days, Wei Bao resumed his normal life and work order, working for one hour in the morning, two hours in the afternoon, and one hour in the evening.

In the morning, he inspected various places, went to the Military Industry Bureau in the afternoon to engage in scientific research, and in the evening he corrected and reviewed various official documents, and his life was orderly.

In the morning, after meditating and having breakfast as usual, he went around, and the main place he went to was the industrial area, where he was most concerned about the situation of the factories, and occasionally he would walk around the countryside.

Weijiazhuang has thousands of square kilometers, but it is not small, and it is divided into more than 30 township-level units by Weibao.

Although it is still nominally four miles to the outside world, in fact, Weijiazhuang is already an independent city unit, and the townships and streets below are completely modern administrative management systems.

There are more than 30 police stations alone, and each police station has as few as a dozen people and as many as 20 people.

The name of Weijiazhuang is called the security team, that is, the patrol police, the patrol police brigade, and the patrol police all use batons.

Because of the strict control of iron in this era, the police used long wooden sticks, similar to the water and fire sticks used by the officials in the yamen, one end painted red and the other painted black.

The police are composed of outstanding people selected from the garrison, and the garrison is a reserve, and most of them are young and middle-aged men who are not out of work.

The garrison force is already somewhat similar to the standing army, and the method used by Wei Bao is a set of management systems for the army.

Officers have an officer's school, Wei Bao knows that it is impossible to get a group of officers so easily, and he does not want to develop for the sake of development, Wei Bao's concept has always been to rather lack than abuse, and the more than 500 soldiers lost by the Tan madman to the Jinzhou Peninsula last time have not been replenished yet.

If Wei Jiazhuang wants to enter the army, he has to go through strict assessments.

If you want to be a soldier, you must first enter the garrison force, and then you have the opportunity to enter the police system or the regular army system.

Wei Bao wants to make the garrison force the cradle of excellent soldiers, and in the future, the outstanding soldier representatives will let them enter the military academy to learn systematic modern warfare knowledge.

Wei Bao knows that this is not something that can be done in one or two years, a group of excellent officers, that needs an excellent army and a large number of excellent instructors to rely on!

At the same time, it is necessary to select good soldiers.

Why did the garrison only keep about 3,000 people?

On the one hand, it is to keep a low profile, so as not to let the forces in all aspects feel too shocked, so as not to make a big splash. Being able to maintain normal system operation and self-protection is Weibao's current requirement.

On the other hand, they don't want to occupy too many resources, Wei Bao's main goal is still on construction, in fact, the main task of these garrison troops is to help build various facilities, and small construction companies alone cannot complete such a huge and complex construction task in Weijiazhuang.

In many aspects, the 'Heaven and Earth Society' needs to take the lead, because it is difficult to calculate the cost of many projects, and it is difficult to contract out.

Weibao's education system also adheres to this concept, from elementary school, junior high school, high school, and university, step by step.

"One! Two! Three! Four! ”

The director of a police station is training several policemen under his command, and the law and order in Weijiazhuang is very good, and the house is basically closed at night and the road is not left behind.

Wei Bao will follow him when he has time, he has never been a soldier, but he likes the atmosphere of the army very much, and it gives people a feeling of enthusiasm.

This is a town in the northeast corner of Weijiazhuang, with a current population of more than 1,000 people, which is actually still about the size of a mile in this era.

There are a total of 8 policemen, and the police wear patrol uniforms, all black uniforms, all custom-made, and the team members are doing various technical and tactical actions under the director's command.

After watching the training of the people in this police station for a while, Wei Bao's mood was lifted a lot, looking at his soldiers, it always makes people feel happy, this is force, this is his umbrella.

"Childe, Luo Rongchen asks to see you." Wang Qiuya whispered to Wei Gongzi, who was smoking.

Wei Bao Yiqi, usually he is surrounded by Xu Rui, the director of the secretariat, or the chief administrator Luo Sanzi, or Fan Xiaolin, or Liu Chunshi and Fan Datou, who are in charge of foreign affairs.

The one who looks for Wei Bao the most is Lin Wenbiao.

Either Wei Bao has something to do with Lin Wenbiao, or Lin Wenbiao reports to President Wei.

"Luo Rongchen is the head of the prosecutor's office, does he have anything to do?" Wei Bao asked.

Luo Rongchen is also from the original old Linzi cottage, he was originally responsible for punishment in the cottage, and he had a murderous spirit, and his original status in the cottage was even higher than Lin Wenbiao.

Wei Bao promoted Lin Wenbiao to be the boss of the Statistics Department because he liked Lin Wenbiao's talent, and it turned out that Wei Bao did not choose the wrong person, and Lin Wenbiao did manage the Statistics Office well.

The main task of the Statistical Office is internal and external intelligence work, with a main focus on external aspects.

The Procuratorate, on the other hand, is entirely an internal regulatory agency, and even the Statistics Office is within the scope of the Procuratorate's supervision, focusing on investigating and dealing with corruption, mediocrity, incompetence, and inaction, which are similar to the responsibilities of the Discipline Inspection Commission and the Procuratorate in later generations.

The procuratorate is a high-level organ and a legal supervisory organ.

The establishment of the Supreme Procuratorate in Weijiazhuang, the local people at all levels, and the military procuratorial departments at all levels are all subordinate to the procuratorial office.

Luo Rongchen's original surname was only Luo, and he didn't have a big name, and the name Luo Rongchen was taken by Wei Bao himself, just like Luo San's big name was Luo Jinshan.

It is a great honor to be named by President Wei himself, otherwise most parents in this era are uneducated, and their children's names are usually very simple.

The top-down arrangement of the Statistical Office reflects the relationship between the upper and lower levels of the procuratorial organs as leaders and the led, and its characteristics of centralization and unity, which is significantly different from the relationship between the upper and lower levels of the courts.

In order to safeguard the power of the president and the direction of departments at all levels, the procuratorial organs must be integrated and must have a strong sense of centralization and unity.

The Statistical Office fulfils its mandate by exercising prosecutorial powers. Exercise procuratorial power in cases of endangering the safety of Weijiazhuang and Tiandihui, endangering public safety, infringing on people's personal rights and democratic rights, and other major crimes; Review cases investigated by the public security organs, and decide whether to arrest, prosecute, or not prosecute; initiating and supporting public prosecutions in criminal cases; Supervision is exercised over the legality of the activities of police organs, courts, prisons, detention centers, and re-education through labor.

The procuratorial offices at all levels are set up in accordance with the courts at all levels in order to handle cases in accordance with the procedures laid down in the Criminal Procedure Law.

Just as the courts exercise their judicial power independently, the procuratorial office exercises its procuratorial power independently in accordance with the law and is not subject to interference by any administrative organ, social organization or individual. And for all citizens, they are equal before the law.

Although the procuratorate is not as 'tall' as the statistics office seems, Luo Rongchen is a higher rank than Lin Wenbiao in terms of position.

The Public Prosecutor's Office reports on the investigation and handling of cases by various departments almost every day. Various localities and departments have successively investigated and dealt with a number of cases that have an impact on their own localities and departments, and the Statistics Bureau has accepted letters and visits, written inquiries, conversations, closed cases, filed cases, closed cases, and transferred suspected crimes to judicial organs for handling.

Although the various departments of Weijiazhuang and Tiandihui have only been in operation for a few months, and most of the cases are trivial, it is precisely because of the existence of the procuratorate that the alarm bell has been ringing.

"I don't know, I asked him, he didn't say it explicitly, I hope to see the president say it in person." Wang Qiuya replied.

Wei Bao sighed, realizing that something might be serious.

The heads of all departments were personally promoted and appointed by Wei Bao, could it be that someone at the level of stewards had a problem?

"Let him come." Wei Bao Road.

"Yes." Wang Qiuya agreed, beckoned to the guards not far away, and signaled that Luo Rongchen, who was looking for the president, could come over.

Luo Rongchen immediately trotted over, and the urgent attitude of the people made Wei Bao secretly praise, Wei Bao likes to see the anxious appearance of the people below, and what he is most afraid of is the Buddhist attitude that doesn't matter anything.

Wei Bao can play with a Buddhist person like Wu Sanfu, but if he really wants to work together, he must have quarreled a long time ago.

"President, Han Xianchong of Beizhili reported to Li Nan, the director of the Beijing Heaven and Earth Association, and Peng Mingbo, the director of the Hejian Mansion Heaven and Earth Association, was found to have private contacts with Jin merchants." Luo Rongchen said.

Wei Bao was stunned, Li Nan and Peng Mingbo were both his original first-class people, and the locals in Jinshan were very important in Wei Bao's system, not to mention the original first-class people?

Moreover, these two people have also made their own personal followers, and they were jointly promoted by Luo Sanzi, Liu Chunshi, Fan Datou and others, otherwise they would not be placed in such an important place as the capital and Hejian Mansion as the head of the Heaven and Earth Society.

"Are you overly sensitive? Doing business outside and going to business privately with Jin merchants can't be avoided, right? Wei Bao asked, "Did you get any evidence?" ”

There is no specific physical evidence, but Han Xianchong said that his people heard the specific conversation, and these two people have been bought by Jin merchants and have taken advantage of them. If you want to testify, you need to arrest the people of the Jin Shang Qiao family, and I am afraid that it will involve too much, so I will first show the president. Luo Rongchen replied.

Wei Bao groaned silently, he knew that there was no wind and no waves, and the prosecutor's office would not easily interfere in administrative and commercial matters.

Luo Rongchen did not urge the president, he waited quietly, he was not afraid of directly finding out the people around the president and making the president unhappy, he did these things in the old forest cottage.

Moreover, through the integration into the Tiandihui, the understanding of the Tiandihui, and the understanding of the president, Luo Rongchen believes that the president is not a person who is nepotistic and does not distinguish between public and private.

"Now that you're sure, catch it! It's better to indulge than to indulge! Wei Bao instructed directly.

When Luo Rongchen heard this, he immediately stood up in a standard military posture, saluted the president and handed over a file: "President, this is the file." ”

Wei Bao took it, "You are fully responsible for this matter, and you will report it to me when the case is finally closed." ”

"This is not a small matter, not only involves the manager, but also the first major case handled by our prosecutor's office, and the president handed it over to me?" Luo Rongchen was a little weak-hearted. It's not that he's afraid, but he knows that a lot of people will be involved. Moreover, it is difficult to obtain conclusive evidence in this kind of case, and in many cases, subjective judgment is required, which is very difficult to grasp.

Wei Bao's voice was also a little weak, he knew that Li Nan and Peng Mingbo not only had an unusual relationship with his current group of main managers, but even their elders and Wei Dakang and Huang Ying also knew each other, and they might really involve a lot of people and things that would slap him in the face.

"No matter how wide the involvement, investigate to the end!" Wei Bao felt a bit like Bao Qingtian at this time, it was really cool to say such things, what do the people hate most? Hate inequality, hate corruption, hate oppression! I was born in the common people, and I can't forget my original intention!
