The patrol police were arrogant, Xu Guantian saw this and asked people to appease Yu Shoucai, and then went out to the door and said, "What are you doing?" ”

The patrol officer thought that the store was just Yu Shoucai's relatives and friends, ordinary merchants, but the people who came out were very Sven, although they were dressed in short shirts, but they looked calm, but they looked like a scholar, he glanced at the sign hanging at the door, and saw that it was a peasant association, knowing that this was a meeting held by a group of scholars, his tone was a lot weaker for a while, and said: "I listened to the instructions of Master Yang of the state judgment and came to take Yu Shoucai, but he hid in you, you send him out." This article was written by ......"

Juzhou is a state, different from a county, naturally there are adults such as Zhizhou, Zhoutong, and Zhouju, and this state judges Mr. Yang is a native of Daxing County, and has been an official in Juzhou for more than ten years, and everyone is familiar with it. Xu Guantian heard that as soon as the patrol police said that the state sentence was Mr. Yang, he said: "Yu Shoucai is a member of the peasant association, you can summon him to the peasant association in the future, don't go to the countryside." Was he taken because the lord of the Wang family sued him for destroying the field? ”

Xu Guantian snatched back the right to talk, and the patrol policeman was used to being angry with the reader, so he took out the warrant when he asked, and said: "It's the case of destroying the field, and Master Wang has already sued the official." We are now going to take him back so that tomorrow we can have a court hearing. Also, if you have a silver or two silver tickets, is it from your peasant association? And straw sandals money ......"

Before the patrol officer finished speaking, Xu Guantian stopped him and said: "According to the Daxin Criminal Law, civil lawsuits are not to be taken into custody, Yu Shoucai will rest at the peasant association tonight, and he will go to the yamen early tomorrow morning to interrogate, and then there is your detention money, the peasant association will come out, but the straw shoe money." The peasant association will not be out. ”

Although the patrol officer has been on an errand in the state for many years, he doesn't know the old law, let alone the new criminal law. Seeing Xu Guantian's words, he couldn't refute it. However, at least the peasant association came forward to guarantee and promised to hear tomorrow, then he was relieved, but the money for the detention ticket was given, but his hard-earned money was not settled, and he was about to be angry Xu Guantian said again: "Did you beat the injury on Yu Shoucai's face?" This sentence only made his heart skip a beat, and he only heard him say again: "If you beat him." I will also tell Master Yang and let him make a clear decision. ”

Fighting the small people in the countryside is never a big deal, and the leading patrol officer is angry. More than a dozen men flashed out of the peasant association, and only half surrounded the three of them, and he panicked: "What do you want to do?" You'll give me the money, so give me the one or two. ”

Xu Guantian just smiled. So he asked others to give money. At this time, seeing that the patrol was blocked, and there were many people who were bold, Yu Shoucai suddenly shouted, "When I came, I asked someone who had already borrowed three hundred and thirty-six dollars, where would I still have one or two silver?" ”

As soon as he said this, the patrolman's face suddenly burst with a fierce look, which only scared him back into the crowd, but Yu Shoucai said that he had already given more than 300 yuan. Xu Guantian only gave the leading patrol officer 500 wen. Now the value of silver has depreciated greatly, and according to the current price of Juzhou, one or two taels of silver has been given an extra 36 Wen. It's just that the patrol police worked hard for a long time and only got 36 Wen. I was very angry, but when I saw more than a dozen men surrounding the peasant association, and Xu Guantian, a scholar, I was not good, so I only took the money and went ruthlessly.

As soon as they left, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, only Yu Shoucai said: "It's cheaper for them to pay dozens of dollars." He thought about the dozens of dollars, and said to Xu Guantian: "President Xu, what should I do tomorrow?" I haven't been, do I have to hit the board as soon as I get in? ”

Xu Guantian was very unhappy when he saw that he was still distressed about the thirty yuan at this time, but when he thought that the movement of the peasant association had begun, he could not be sloppy, and if he was bought by the landlord and lost the lawsuit, then the movement would fail. immediately said: "Shoucai, such a farmer is present today, you make it clear, do you want to fight the lawsuit to the end?" If you don't want to fight halfway, or if you are bribed by the landlord to confess your guilt, then these people will help you out in vain. ”

Yu Shoucai didn't understand Xu Guantian's plan, so he only said: "How can I not fight a lawsuit?" If I confess my sin, then the field will be gone. ”

Xu Guantian saw that he didn't understand this meaning, and said again: "If that old man Wang tells you that as long as you confess your guilt, Tian still won't accept you, and you will have to reduce your rent, and give you another dozen taels or dozens of taels of silver, what will you do?" ”

Yu Shoucai suddenly understood what Xu Guantian meant, and unconsciously calculated in his heart, but as soon as he raised his eyes, he saw more than a dozen men glaring at him, looking more vicious than the patrol police, and suddenly said: "I am Yu Shoucai's words, this lawsuit must not admit guilt, and it must be fought to the end!" ”

"Good! Take Shoucai to eat first, and sleep in the peasant association today," Xu Guantian instructed the bystanders, "Let's go in and have a meeting." ”

Xu Guantian only arranged one qiē properly and reported to Yang Rui, but Yang Rui didn't express any opinions, just asked him to seize this opportunity, unite the members, and not let down this winning case.

Yang Rui said that this case won steadily, in fact, it was not the case, the landlord Wang Lao Ye was the state judge Yang Jinwen greeted, but Yu Liwu's mouth in the main hall was very powerful, and he was very proficient in the new criminal law, and Xu Guantian sent people to call hundreds of peasants into the city overnight to stand outside the official office to cheer, such a situation down that Yang Jinwen was submissive, and became a Qing official, and only said in court that the landlord Wang Lao had no evidence, so he sentenced Yu Shoucai not guilty, and Tian of course did not retreat; There was also the incident of the patrol police beating people, and they also reprimanded those patrol officers in court, and even made them pay for the injury and medicine. As soon as the verdict was made in the main hall, the results immediately spread to the outside of the street, and the members of the peasant association who were prepared outside set off firecrackers, and hundreds of peasant association members were very happy, and Yu Liwu, the lawyer who came out, gave a speech on the spot, calling on the peasant friends to unite, help each other to plant good fields, and eat well. Everyone clapped their hands when they heard this, and their expressions were very excited.

"Comrade Wen, the matter is probably not over yet!" Yang Rui only looked at the lively peasant association members below in the teahouse opposite the yamen, and only felt that the first exercise was a success. It's just that what Xu Guantian, who just came up, said was not good news.

"Why isn't it over yet?" With a smile, Yang Rui, who was sitting next to Cheng Ying, let go of the woman's hand under the table, reached out to the table, and only took a sip of tea.

"When the landlord surnamed Wang withdrew from the court, he only said that Master Yang was frightened by hundreds of mud legs outside. This sentence does not count. said that the next time he passed the hall, he would bring hundreds of people to cheer him on. Xu Guantian said the news he had heard in the main hall just now, and he was a little worried. In fact, it was the first time he had fought a lawsuit, and the majestic voice of the official in the yamen was also very scary at first hearing. Although he won this time, he was worried that he would not win next time.

"The more this lawsuit is fought, the bigger the fight, the better. Are there many landlords or peasants? Yang Rui knew that because he was here, he was only allowed to succeed and not to fail, and he was under a lot of pressure. I even thought that if this thing was over. It is also a good teaching material for him to write a case of struggle, so he will persuade him gently.

"Naturally, there are many farmers." Xu Guantian said.

"Wouldn't that be nice? Now you should take this opportunity to move the peasants, and let Yu Shoucai accompany Yu Liwu to give speeches in various villages, and tell the peasants about this matter, saying that the peasant association can not only help everyone cultivate the land. You can also help everyone fight lawsuits. It can also win the battle and let everyone join the peasant association. Comrade Guantian, this peasant and landlord fought a lawsuit, and could he have won it before? Yang Rui asked again.

"Like...... Like, as if it had never been won! Xu Guantian thought about it, and his face suddenly lit up, very happy, "I understand." Comrade Wen, I understand...... "After that, I ran down in a hurry."

Squeaky squeaky sedan chair. Wang Fucai, the landlord who left the main hall, had a gloomy face and sweat on his forehead. His ears are still full of the mighty sound of the officials in the main hall just now and the cheers of those mud-legged people outside to win the lawsuit, and a few words have been rolling and echoing in his heart, that is: Shame and shame!

The landlord never lost when he sued the tenants, but he lost here. He could fully imagine what they would think of himself when facing other landlords in the future; and the family matter that the son is talking about, it is estimated that it will also be yellow; and in the future, I will send people to the countryside to collect rent, I am afraid that I will not be able to collect it; And also...... One qiē and one qiē were all because he lost the lawsuit today, and before passing the court, he promised to send dozens of taels of silver to Yang Jinwen, so foolproof, he still lost. This kind of encounter only made him almost vomit blood, and now the only thing he could think of was to go to the old dealer's house for help.

"Master Zhuang, although this peasant association is under the guise of increasing income and assisting in childbirth, it is actually gathering people to make trouble and plotting against them. If this continues, the rules of the past thousands of years will be chaotic, and if this rule is chaotic, then these owners of land in our generation will be eaten and lived by them everywhere, and they will be oppressed by them all the time. In this matter, you have to help everyone come forward and call all the landlords in this state to a meeting to discuss a countermeasure. Master Zhuang, now it is said that there are thousands of peasant associations, and many of them are tenants of the Zhuang family. After briefly talking about today's unjust lawsuit, Wang Fucai said such a heartfelt word to Zhuang Houtao

"This lawsuit ......" Zhuang Houtao started but it was not easy to say how to continue, this landlord lost the lawsuit, it was really a never-before-seen thing, he was not good at mocking Wang Fucai, and then thought that there were indeed many tenants in his village who had joined the peasant association, so he had to say: "The peasant union is not small now, go on like this...... Then do what Master Wang said, and I will ask the landlords to come over to discuss in the next few days. ”

Zhuang Houtao, the eldest lord of the Zhuang family, asked the landlord to gather to discuss the matter soon reached Xu Guantian's ears, and even the details of the meeting were revealed by Zhuang Houze's son Zhuang Shanchang, who lost the lawsuit, and Wang Fucai, who lost the lawsuit, accused the peasant association of the general evil behavior, such as: 'Strange tricks, gathering crowds to make trouble, ignoring ethics, not paying attention to ethics, threatening the state judgment, bullying the landlord,' and thinks, 'The landlord buys land with money, pays grain for the country, and obeys the supervisor, which is justified. If the peasant associations incite the peasants and plot against them, if they are not dissolved as soon as possible, not only will the landlords suffer losses, but the court will also be in danger......

After Wang Fucai finished speaking, all the landlords high-fived and agreed, and then Wang Jingzhong, the inferior gentleman, took out the latest leaflet printed by the peasant association, pointed to the first and fourth articles of the 12 articles on the leaflet, and then said: Since the peasant association was established last year, it has not wanted my generation of landlords to join the association, saying that my generation is not a peasant, and only knows how to sit on the land to collect rent, and does not know anything about farming. Now they are leafing leaflets everywhere, saying that they want to prevent the landlords from raising their rents and petition for rent reductions in the year of murder. Now the imperial court is holding a new policy, although it advocates the establishment of peasant associations in various counties, but it is not this kind of peasant association with only peasants, and now this peasant association deliberately provokes tenant relations, saying that it is to ensure the interests of the peasants, but where are the interests of our generation? So it seems. My generation also has to know that the state lord is serious, and it is only serious to set up a meeting, and I think that the landlords' association and the landlords' association will not involve the government. It should be called the 'Agricultural Maintenance Association'......

Zhuang Shanchang is very smart, there are dozens of landlords in the meeting, he remembers what they said very clearly, not messed up at all, it took him more than an hour to finish saying the things he remembered, after he went out, Xu Guantian looked at Yang Rui and said. "Comrade Wen, how should we deal with it?"

As soon as he said this, it didn't matter if it was Li Guangyi. The other members also looked over, and Yang Rui said with a smile: "I'm just a commissioner, mainly to check how the work of the peasant association in Yizhou is doing, and I have already said it a few days ago." Now is not the time for me to make a decision. It's about the time you make a decision. If you ask me what to do, I don't know how many members of the peasant association you have, let alone how many of them will listen to you, so I can't answer. The most important thing for you now is to have a meeting with the backbone of the township peasant associations in Juzhou to see how much strength you have? Let's look at what kind of agricultural maintenance association the landlords set up, what will they do if they want to defeat us? After the discussion, the final decision is still up to you. It's not someone else's help, it's like fighting. The staff and staff only come up with ideas, and the coach can decide on the plan. It doesn't work or it doesn't. It's all a plan, and no one can guarantee that the plan will work, but the boss must let everyone not panic, thinking that this plan will definitely work, so that the military will not be chaotic, and only if the military will not be chaotic, then the thing can be done. The power is not with me, the power is with the peasants. ”

Yang Rui's words only made everyone think about it, and after they got together to discuss, they went to each township to find someone to hold a meeting. It's just that the peasant association is acting, and the agricultural maintenance association is also acting, after the discussion of that day, the landlords quickly came up with a brief charter of the agricultural maintenance association and got it to the Zhizhou side for approval, and the next morning on the east street of Juzhou City, a sign was displayed on the east street of Juzhou City, which was different from the black on a white background, and the sign of the agricultural maintenance association was gold on a black background, and it was very magnificent. As soon as the signboard was hung out, thousands of firecrackers rang out on the two sides, and the troupe called Chunliu raised by the dealer sang at the Temple of Literature.

Singing outside, Wang Jingzhong, the new vice president of the Dongjie Agricultural Maintenance Association, proposed to more than 100 large and small landlords: "The last time the state sentenced Master Yang to the court was coerced by those mud legs, so he disregarded the interests of the owners and sentenced that Diao Min not guilty, which is very hateful. Now we are going to go together to petition and ask him to lock up that Diao people and parade them through the streets, so that those tenants can know that farming should be cherished, and that they should not dare to dry up and fish, burn forests and hunt. If not, the acres of land in the world will be destroyed by those tenants, and if there will be no taxes at that time, then the country will not be a country. ”

Wang Jingzhong was willing at the beginning, which is exactly what everyone wants, and besides, this matter is led by the banker, and they are just a scene. After bustling for a while, everyone discussed whether they should go to the state to judge Yang Jinwen if they wanted to petition, he was old and confused, so it was better to go to the Zhizhou Master Huang to petition.

Petitioning is one thing, who to petition is another, Wang Fucai wants to vent his evil anger, Wang Jingzhong wants to make some benefits in the agricultural maintenance association, and the chairman Zhuang Houtao is not only afraid that the peasant association will become bigger, but also has the idea of becoming an official and just leading the group of landlords, as for other landlords, most of them come here to join in the fun. After the discussion, Wang Jingzhong wrote a petition with ink, and everyone signed the name and painted it, and then went to Zhizhou Huang to petition together.

The Qing Dynasty is different from the Ming Dynasty, its rural gentry has always been very suppressed, for fear that these people will commit rebellion, and the Hongyang Rebellion, the Eight Banners Green Camp is unbearable, and finally makes the gentry everywhere take the lead, although the back suppressed Zeng Guofan, Li Hongzhang these gentry of the Kui, but the power of the gentry is still getting bigger and bigger, to a few years ago the gentry shouted for the constitution, and then suddenly opened the Congress, this gentry power is considered to be on the table. Zhizhou Master Huang had not been an official in Juzhou earlier, and he only took office at the beginning of this year, so he just wanted to make some money and settle down with the public, but now the gentry came to petition together, and they were suddenly startled, thinking that something big had happened. But after saying that, I realized that there were tenants who destroyed the land, and the state judgment and trial case were unclear, and the wicked people were indulged, so he asked the inspector Gu Xiuling to go to the countryside to take people on the spot, and then tortured them back to parade in the streets.

Gu Xiuling is different from Zhizhou Huang Jialin, he has been in Juzhou for five or six years, and he knows the peasant association, and knows that these gentry have sinister intentions. I was trying to persuade each other, but I saw that those gentry and gentry were looking at me, and I was not familiar with this old man Huang again. I didn't want to increase the patrol police before, so I stopped my mouth and asked a few patrol officers to get people.

The patrol police entered the village, and the village where Yu Shoucai lived was another burst of chickens and dogs, and the patrol police who were fined last time were still there this time, and they beat Yu Shoucai when they met, and then they took the chain and put him on the chain and went to the state city. When approaching the state capital, he deliberately bypassed the south gate and only took the east gate, so as to save the peasant association from making trouble again.

The peasant association is still deliberating on how to deal with the rent-collecting committee (agricultural maintenance association). But he didn't want to rush over to the same village who was guarding money, and when he arrived at the peasant association, he shouted that something was wrong. Xu Guantian hurriedly grabbed the visitor: "What's wrong?" ”

"Yu Shoucai was taken into the city by the public in the yamen again." The person who came gasped, not knowing whether he was scared or ran.

Yu Liwu hurriedly said: "You sit down and say." Make it clear. What is the crime of keeping money this time? ”

"I don't know what the crime is, but it was the last time the patrol officers came, and they beat Yu Shoucai as soon as they met." Coming to humane, apparently he didn't understand the situation either.

"I think it's the same thing last time, those people from the rent collection club are doing the hell." Yu Liwu said.

As soon as he said this, the people who had entered the city in the morning next to him also said: "In the morning, I saw a large group of people from the rent collection meeting going to the mansion of the old man of Zhizhou." At that time, I thought that I was going to invite the master of Zhizhou to watch the play, but now I should want the master of Zhizhou to take people. ”

"That's right! Right! This group of landlords and that group of corrupt officials were originally a gang, and now Zhuang Houtao of the dealer has raised his head. Naturally, he will speak to the government and let the government arrest people. "The patrol's Black Seven was the dealer's house slave before. The ability of the old dealer is very clear.

"President, what should I do? What to do? Knowing what happened, more than 20 peasant union cadres looked at Xu Guantian, hoping that he could come up with a solution.

Xu Guantian graduated from the Shanghai Peasant Movement Training Institute, and naturally understood what he should do at this time, and only looked at the people: "What can be done, their landlords are now united, then our peasant association should be even more united, only when they are united can they have strength, as long as they have strength, they will not be bullied casually." Now everyone put down what they are doing, immediately go to the villages and townships to shout people, shouting that the more people the better, tomorrow when the time comes, we will gather here, and then everyone will go into the city together to ask the government to release people! ”

Seeing that Xu Guantian was so confident in his decision, the officials were busy going out, and Yu Liwu hurriedly said, "Don't concentrate here, just go to the Land Temple five miles away." The peasant association would prepare pancakes for 5,000 people there, eat at that time, and then go into the city after agitation. ”

"That's right! When you go to the Land Temple, five miles away, the peasant association will prepare pancakes for 10,000 people, and when you go to call people, whether they are from the peasant association or not, they will call them, and they will be followed into the city after they have eaten. Don't tell them to make trouble, just say it's a petition. And be sure to remember to ask everyone to wear blue shirts. Xu Guantian was also busy correcting, but he increased the size, just thinking that the more people there were, the better.

As soon as they left, Xu Guantian said to Hei Qi, the captain of the patrol, "You will send a few flexible people into the city now, inquire about any news in the city, and the more than 100 backbones, we will go to inform them tonight, and we will discuss how to deal with the fifty patrol officers in the state city." ”

"Good! I'll go right away. Hearing that there was going to be a big fuss tomorrow, and he had to deal with the dozens of patrol policemen who had long been unpleasant, Hei Qi's excited voice trembled a little, and he was very confused when he replied, just as Xu Guantian looked at him, he immediately shouted: "Yes!" I'll go and arrange it right away, and I'll defend the peasant association to the death! Then he jumped out the door.

As soon as Hei Qi left, Xu Guantian arranged for people to buy sorghum noodles, and then distributed them to the homes of the peasant association members near the state city, so that they could make a good portion of 10,000 people tomorrow; When they went out, he sent another to buy fifty horses of white cloth and ink, which were to be used as flags, and commanded that a thousand wooden poles, large and small, should be prepared; As soon as this person left, he sent someone to find a few suona blowers, according to the standard procedure, tomorrow the peasant association must enter the city must be knocked and beaten, so as to attract the attention of all the people.

It took more than an hour for Xu Guantian to roughly arrange everything, and before continuing to meet in the evening to discuss the details, he hurried to Yang Rui's side. At this time, Yang Rui had been in Juzhou for many days, and the day before yesterday he had just finished the Yizhou Revolutionary Conference, and he was thinking about leaving for Yishui County tomorrow, but he didn't want Juzhou to hold a big parade.

"All the tasks are scheduled?" Yang Rui looked at Xu Guantian, who was a little excited, and asked.

"Yes, it's all arranged, and success or failure depends on tomorrow's move. I came here to ask Comrade Wen to stay for a day so that we can be emboldened. Xu Guantian said.

Yang Rui smiled: "Okay! Now you have to march and petition, you are the commander-in-chief, as long as it is the people in the meeting, you can assign tasks when it is empty. Say, what can I do? ”

Xu Guantian didn't actually think about what he wanted Yang Rui to do, he just wanted Yang Rui not to leave tomorrow, so that he knew that there were people in the club behind him, and he was a little more bold in his heart, and now seeing that Yang Rui completely agreed, and asked him to arrange tasks, he didn't know what to say for a while. After all, all the people Yang Rui brought were outsiders, and even if Yang Rui was asked to give a speech to the members of the peasant association, those farmers might not be able to understand.

"You'd better go find a place to calm down and think about what is not planned for tomorrow. If you want to help, come back and talk about it when the time comes. Yang Rui saw him like this, so he built yì like this. (To be continued......)
