With the arrival of the Mengchun season in the 10th year of the recovery, the turmoil in Jiangnan Shizi seems to have reached the time of calm. Zuo Zongtang, the left minister of the cabinet, joined the Donglin Party after the Spring Festival and was elected as the prime minister of the Donglin Party, which immediately reassured the anxious Jiangnan Shilin. Then there was the election of the three provinces and two provinces, which was different from the previous big scene of fighting and trouble, and this election was calm. No matter how the Donglin Party is elected, it will be a loss, and if it makes trouble, it will not lose the election but lose!

And the Jishi Youth Party can win lying down, so it is time to show the demeanor of the winner, if it is too aggressive, it will be a villain. Besides, Zuo Zongtang has entered Donglin, how can Pan Zuyin and them not let Prime Minister Zuo Dacheng step down, right?

Therefore, the first polling election in China in this time and space was successfully concluded in a very harmonious atmosphere - I hope that such a scene will not become a swan song.

However, just when the upper echelons of the Donglin Party and the Jishi Youth Party began to play the gentleman's battle in a sanctimonious manner. Some of the hot-blooded warriors who charged into battle during the 1.20 incident seem to have been forgotten.

In Yingtianfu No. 1 Prison, Yu Chengzhang, a scholar who was arrested for "being beaten", was sitting in a stinking cell at this time, looking with envy at the "cellmates" who came out of a much cleaner cell opposite. It was a construction worker from Shanghai, as strong as a cow, who beat people so the day of January 20 that the guards did not notice it when they came out to clear the field, and they were arrested and imprisoned. Yu Chengzhang was arrested because he cried too much and forgot to escape, and the two also passed the hall twice with some other arrested scholars or laborers.

After the court, Yu Chengzhang cried all night - because the treatment of people on both sides in the court was too different! There is almost a platoon of lawyers on the side of the Jishi Youth Party! All of them are well-dressed. Personable. is also full of crooked reasoning. said it head-to-head, and was stunned to say that the guy who beat people was more innocent than the little white rabbit! I think they are all top students from the law school of Jeseki University, right? Moreover, Pan Zuyin, the leader of the Jishi Youth Party, also personally appeared in the court with the financial director, and specially paid the fine for his "thugs", and handed over hundreds of thousands of dollars without blinking an eye! As a result, the "thugs" of the Jishi Youth Party will all be released from prison and go home today......

On the other hand, on the side of the Donglin Party, there was only a leader surnamed Weng, and he couldn't explain the reason, and he didn't have the money to pay the fine, so he had to sigh vigorously. In the end, he shed tears to bid farewell to a bunch of soldiers who were also about to cry to death -- this time too many people from the Donglin Party were arrested. There are seven or eight hundred people, and they can't afford to hire a barrister who can speak well (in fact, it's not that they can't afford to hire it, but they can't be hired, and all the law firms in Jiangnan are all accused by members of the Jishi Youth Party), and only some rural litigants came. As a result, most of them were convicted of gathering a crowd to make trouble, and either pay a fine of 1,000 yuan, or wait for exile in Siberia!

But where did the Donglin Party get seven or eight hundred thousand? Their party was also fined 100,000 yuan and had to bear at least 100,000 yuan in medical expenses...... If it weren't for Zuo Zongtang's accession, which boosted the momentum of the Donglin Party and raised some money, this party representing the world's scholars would have gone bankrupt and closed down.

And Yu Chengzhang was naturally convicted. A fine of 1,000 yuan or exile to Siberia for 10 years! Naturally, there is no way to pay the fine, and now you can only wait for exile. thought of the hard life of his wife and children after his exile. Yu Chengzhang was sad and couldn't help crying. I don't know how long he cried, he suddenly heard the iron door of the prison be opened, Yu Chengzhang stopped crying, rubbed his eyes and looked at the door, and saw a guard wearing "black skin" pushed open a big iron door and shouted: "Yu Chengzhang, your family is here to pick you out!" ”

"Get out?" Yu Chengzhang was stunned when he heard these two words-Could it be that the Donglin Party made a fortune and had the money to redeem itself?

At this time, a woman in cloth and hairpin, who still looked upright, walked in step by step, Yu Chengzhang looked at it, who is this not his wife who is not his bad chaff?

"Lady, why did you come to Nanjing? Did someone from the Donglin Party send you here? Yu Chengzhang asked with some uncertainty. His family is a scholarly family, and of course a woman can't just show her head casually. Moreover, his wife Yang is still bound in her feet, and it is very inconvenient to go out and walk, so it is unlikely that she will come to Nanjing alone.

"If it wasn't for the Donglin Party, their people gave 50 yuan to settle in, and then they didn't care." Yang walked over and whispered through the iron bars of the cell.

"What? Give 50 yuan and don't care? Then you are ......" Yu Chengzhang's heart was full of doubts.

"I discussed with my mother, and sold all the family's land, 5 acres of land for 300 yuan, 10 acres of fields for 200 yuan, and the house for 350 yuan, and sold a few pieces of jewelry that I married with my mother, and finally made up 1,000 yuan to pay the fine......"

"Ahh You scumbag! How did you sell all your belongings? What should we do as a family? What to eat? When Yu Chengzhang heard this, he immediately jumped up. This time, the family is really clean, and even the last 5 acres of land are gone!

"You can go to Siberia...... Yang squeezed out a smile and looked at her husband in the cell. Your classmate Mayor Zhao told me that it is best to go to Siberia, take a sea boat from Shanghai to Tianjin, and then take a train directly to the shore of the North Sea, and it doesn't matter if your legs are inconvenient......"

"What?! Go to Siberia...... The surname Zhao is going to kill our family! I'm fighting with him! I'm going to fight with him......"

Well, the whole family goes to Siberia! This time, it's not one dead, it's a dead family! A wave of despair suddenly came to his heart, and the great gentleman Yu no longer cared about the decency of a scholar, and yelled while hitting his head against the iron fence. But it didn't take long for him to be dragged out of the cell by a few black skins - and he could save a lunch if he got rid of it early! And our Yu Chengzhang Yu Da Scholar's lunch was used in a well-decorated restaurant, not that he wanted to open it and prepare to eat a big meal and then die, but that Zhao Ziyu Zhao, the mayor of Zhao Ziyu who fooled his family to go to Siberia, also came to Nanjing, and paid for a treat to suppress Yu Chengzhang's shock. At the same time, he explained to him what a wonderful place Siberia is.

"It's good to go to Siberia!"

"Okay? Why don't you Zhao Ziyu go? ”

"I'll go! I, Zhao Ziyu, am a good man, a good man should be ambitious in all directions, when he defends the border and expands the frontier for the country, and when he is looking for a feudal marquis, how can he go to Siberia! ”

Zhao Ziyu, who spoke, is also a white-faced scholar, less than 30 years old, and Yu Chengzhang are fellow villagers and classmates, and they have known each other since childhood. But people are lucky, the first time I went to participate in the Jiangnan imperial examination, at that time it was easy to take the official exam, naturally I became a showman in high school, and then went back to my hometown to be the mayor of the town, and I was more than six years old, and I was never promoted. This time, he also joined the Donglin Party in a daze, and became a figure on the "blacklist" of the Jishi Youth Party, and the county public bureau has now been controlled by the Youth Party, and his mayor is almost over. And there is only one way to keep your official position, sign up for Siberia!

"What? Cunzhong (Zhao Ziyu font), do you really want to go? ”

Zhao Ziyu slapped the table, "Of course!" Brother Yugang, your family will go on the road with your younger brother, and there will be a good response on the road. When you arrive in Siberia, you don't have to go to any group farms or collective ranches, I just need to find a job for you at the East Siberian Development Company. ”

"Errands? What errand? ”

Zhao Ziyu smiled and said, "Brother Yugang, you don't know yet, the current East Siberia is not my Ming territory, it is a colony managed in the name of the company, and it is relatively loose in terms of employment...... The company can be used with or without an official body. Moreover, Peng Xueqin, the general manager of the East Siberian Company, is also a member of our Donglin Party, and has his own way to arrange us. So at present, the Donglin scholars who have lost their officials in Jiangnan are running to Eastern Siberia...... Our prime minister of Donglin, Zuo Jinliang and Zuo Dacheng also mean this, to retreat as advance, first keep the official body and errands, there will always be a chance in the future!
