Sunday at 12:30 am.

The sheriffs were fully armed and came out of the Public Security Bureau one after another, lit torches on the brazier outside. The low-level police officers lined up under the steps of the Public Security Bureau again. Senior police officers led their horses or got on the deputy driver's seat of the carriage. All police forces in the Public Security Bureau were ready to go.

It was already late at night. There was absolutely no one except hooligans and gangsters at this point, and even beggars would not appear, because the beggars went to the church early and waited for dawn to sit. The harvest of begging on Sunday (Sunday) was five times higher. However, at this moment, the streets were walking towards the yamen, and many residents on both sides of the road could also see candles lit. Because the dull gunshots were still circling over the yamen, people were startled, and if there were any good things, they would go to watch the fun.

Seeing the big scene that the Public Security Bureau could not see normally, the people on the street stopped and started watching. Ten minutes later, there were twenty or thirty people watching the brightly lit public security bureau and the police formation with live ammunition on the street.

Fang Bingsheng and Shan Ji were frightened and unable to do anything. They stood on the porch of the main gate of the Public Security Bureau and watched the "most elite" and "most professional" armed iron fist in the county town was about to hit Liu Guojian.

Director Zhang walked out of the door slowly, but he looked different from his subordinates: his subordinate looked murderous; this person was still like he was going to a banquet--armed belt and uniform, but the pistol holster at his waist was empty and he didn't have a gun at all. He bit a mango in his hand, and sucked his tongue with his dripping fingers without domineering. The little secretary next to him opened the door for him, "down the steps first" and shining the way with the glass lamp in his hand. He ran around him like a mouse, without weapons, and held the briefcase tightly in his arms.

Standing on the steps of the Public Security Bureau, he looked down at his well-trained armed forces. Director Zhang had no speech, and had any intention of reviewing. He waved his hand and shouted: "Let's go!"

Ou Xingsun stood in front with his horse, hesitated for a moment and asked, "Courselor, what if Lord Liu Guojian resisted with a gun himself? This... isn't it easy to kill this?"

This problem made Fang Bingsheng and Shan Ji next to him feel frightened, and it was so frightening that they were really furious. The sheriff under the steps obviously had a slight commotion. It was not pity and fear, but an excitement brought by the Chinese people when they gathered together to act. When a police officer gathered to shoot everywhere in the yamen, the county magistrate could not stand it and attacked the county magistrate with a gun, and had the chance to shoot the county magistrate.

Director Zhang was stunned and threw away half of the mango in his hand. He took the handkerchief from his little secretary and wiped his hands. He said, "Fujian teahouses have been gambling and drug trafficking for a long time, and the evidence is as strong as a mountain! As sheriffs, we are going to enforce the law and capture the suspects! Unexpectedly, the suspect actually used the yamen as a nest, and the people in the yamen actually disobeyed the king's law and refused to be arrested with guns! The first sentence at the beginning of our Song Dynasty Code is 'Because God created the world, everyone is created equal, so everyone is equal before the law'! If the county magistrate and the mayor shield the criminals and resist arrest with guns, it is very simple. Lord Liu is not a royal family, nor aristocrat, nor a British or French foreigner, then follow our code and police manuals!"

This sentence aroused everyone's excitement and whispers - Director Zhang's meaning, if Liu Guojian rushed over with a bayonet and shot him in the head.

"Minister, this... Lord Liu Guojian has an official position, right?" Ou Xingsun was still a little hesitant, because in terms of firepower configuration, his people are the most complete and the main force is the fight. Maybe his subordinates knocked down Liu Guojian. If Liu Guojian really grabbed the bayonet and charged forward, then if he was held accountable in the future, he might be in trouble.

Director Zhang laughed and said, "It's okay. I just sent an urgent telegram to the court, reporting that Liu Guojian was sheltering criminals and organizing unemployed Fujianese to resist arrest with guns. I had to attack the yamen and enforce the law by force. The matter has already happened, but I just want to fight a memorial lawsuit with Liu Guojian. I will hold on to it!"

Hearing this, Ou Xingsun saluted, turned over the horse, and immediately directed the police array to turn left and began to walk in unison.

Director Zhang climbed up a horse and followed dozens of police officers in line toward the yamen. The sound of horse hooves, running, gun collision, and commands. In the quiet night, wherever they stepped on, it seemed as if the streets under their feet were brought alive, like a giant python with scales spreading forward and moving forward.

"Brother Sheng, what should I do? Are they going to kill Liu Guojian?" Shan Ji looked at the start of the security guards' team and turned around in horror to ask Fang Bingsheng.

"Does Liu Guojian still need to be beaten? He is dead." Fang Bingsheng sighed.

"How did you die?" Shan Ji asked with her big eyes before she understood.

"You really can't offend local tyrants when you are an official. Especially you can't offend officials, education, merchants, and blacks." Fang Bingsheng was unreasonable and the semi-illiterate black/gang member couldn't understand clearly when he encountered such a thing. He just shook his head with emotion, and then cursed fiercely: "Liu Guojian is stupid! He is so stupid to do things! I would have known that he wouldn't give him a penny!"

=======================================

Sany Square was already boiling, and the windows of nearby streets were almost all lit up. Hundreds of people took their families, took old women and children, held benches, shook palm fans, and ate melon seeds. Some of them were enough to wait, and some climbed up the trees to look into the yamen. The wooden platform built by Liu Guojian for the imperial envoy was even full of people. Everyone shook the palm fans to drive away the mosquitoes, and listened to the gunshots in the yamen, and talked enthusiastically about the biggest wonder in the history of this county town: the Public Security Bureau attacked the yamen!

In fact, it was not just the Public Security Bureau. The yamen was surrounded by the thugs and gunmen from the Presbyterians and Chamber of Commerce and Longchuantang. Zhang Qijie and Li Guangxi called the workers who helped to help to keep order behind.

For this surprise attack, they did not dare to tell the truth to the workers, but just organized a larger factory protection team. This is human nature: after the Chamber of Commerce was punished by Liu Guojian and Longchuantang, organizing a factory protection was a useless choice for every factory owner but seeking peace of mind.

When I pulled out in the middle of the night, I just said that I would cooperate with the sheriff's patrol. This is normal: because the factory guards have guns, but it is very troublesome to use guns casually. Therefore, the workers who hold guns generally have gun certificates and are militias along the way. In this way, organizing people to train, patrol, and practice guns will be open and in line with laws and regulations. The division is famous - and of course the militia will have to patrol.

As a pioneer, Xi Shengmo attacked first. The factory owner and Longchuantang ordered the gunmen to surround him, just to let a few people escape into the yamen and then make the matter big.

Things were going well. After watching three limping black shadows howl and flee into the yamen, under the bet of several strong men in Longchuan, the killer brother and the sheriff raised by Longchuan Hall shot first, killed the yamen gatekeeper, and rushed in.

Then, several factory owners also directed their subordinates to rush in. Although many workers were very scared and hesitant - "How come this patrol and catching thieves became the yamen?" But the factory owners also spoke very importantly, and they shouted: "This is catching a fugitive! Listen to Inspector Shin, right! Follow him! If something happened, we were on the side! We are Christians. Have we deceived you? Each person gave a bonus afterwards!"

The crowds were crowded with the sheriffs, and Zhang Qijie and others were all backbone of church activities, which meant that they were the faith and spiritual mentors of Christians in the county. They spoke extremely appealingly, and everyone became brave. As a result, Liu Guojian's yamen was really beaten.

When the brigade of sheriff advanced into the yamen, the people watching on the street shouted excitedly, and someone asked loudly: "Why are you fighting against the yamen?"

Director Zhang rode on his horse and clasped his fists at the people watching along the way, saying, "Famous people, we have police badges on our heads, we are loyal to the emperor and love the gods, enforce the law for the people, there are fugitives in the yamen! We are going to catch criminals to protect you!"

This revelation of a blockbuster screams: "There are fugitives in the yamen?" "Oh my God! Why are there fugitives in the yamen?"

There were countless cheers, and some shouted: "Okay, support the law enforcement officers!" Some people fell from the tree with excitement.

Director Zhang immediately raised his chest proudly, walking through the dense crowd like a review, but laughed in his heart: "This group of ignorant people, just say something good, they believe it! It's so easy to deceive! What a group of good people! Haha."

With the arrival of the main force, the stalemate with the Yamen Fujian Gang was immediately broken, but there were still no dead people in the Fujian Gang.

Just as the other party came cheering and listening to the slightest person came up, it seemed that there were many people and people. When the new police officers fired the first bullet in front of him, the fire and sound of firecrackers on the opposite side scared the Fujian Gang from the other party: "Okay, the fireworks here are only 100 firecrackers, but they saw that there were 100,000 long sounds. This was a fart! Run!"

When the Public Security Bureau fired the first bullet and most of them were loading the second bullet in the dark, the Fujian Gang immediately turned around and ran back, and the middle section of the yamen suddenly lost.

The local gangs swayed and started torches and occupied the middle section. Now Liu Guojian and the others can only stick to the last half of the front line of their own residence and telegraph confidential room.

==========================================

Surrounded by his subordinates, Director Zhang walked to the corner of an alley and looked at it first: he saw that the door at the end of the alley was closed, the yard was brightly lit, the walls were full of people, and the shadows were full of guns, which was Liu Guojian's official house.

His tactical literacy is so poor that he doesn't even know how to turn off the lamps, but the same is true for the Public Security Bureau. Looking from the wall, the alleys over there are also bright lights, and the lanterns and torches are as bright as lanterns.

Director Zhang shouted loudly in the corner: "Mr. Liu, I am Lao Zhang. Please let your subordinates put down their weapons immediately and don't resist arrest. I have a legal search warrant. We just want to arrest the suspect. Don't resist stubbornly."

I heard the whispering sounds in the alley. It was the Fujian gang discussing something. Then a master came from the wall and shouted angrily: "My surname is Zhang, don't play this game! Didn't you just open the search warrant? Do you want shame?! Your mother attacked the yamen with force! You are rebelling!"

Director Zhang curled his lips and continued to shout: "I have dozens of guns and hundreds of people here. You can't stop them. You should surrender. Why bother to burn them? Isn't our law good?"

"Burn you, your rebellion is actually just like us?" The master on the wall cursed in anger.

At this time, I heard the noise inside the wall, as if I was setting up a ladder to the courtyard wall. After all, this is an official house, not a fortress, and there are no short troughs in the wall for you to step on. The Fujian Gangs are standing on the ladder, on the large wardrobe, on the frame, etc. to stand behind the wall and aim at the gun.

After a while, Liu Guojian's voice came from the wall, sounding neither anxious nor impatient, just like his usual official tone: "Director Zhang, you are here too? Why bother? Why do you have to make such a situation of being unable to come to Taiwan because of the rashness of an inquirer? Listen to me, you have taken over the people, let's come in for tea and talk? I promise not to hold Xi Shengmo accountable. This matter is just gone."

"Haha," Director Zhang sneered. He pulled his fingers out of his nose and whispered: "I still want to play this game at this time?"

He shouted, his voice was like an official voice: "Mr. Liu, are you mistaken? Inspector Xi Shengmo was ordered to go to check gambling. A teahouse gathered gambling all day long and sold private cigarettes, complaining. We have received too many reports. I don't know what you are talking about. Now I found a casino and opium in your fellow villager's Fujian teahouse, and several of your teachers arrested him gathered to gamble, and three of them escaped into the yamen. This is also difficult for me to do. I wanted to report to you, but I expected that your teahouse thug, secretary and doorman actually shot and attacked the police, and the matter turned out like this. Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh!! This really makes me regret. Now I'm here to report to you. You should quickly let your subordinates put down their guns, kneel down and hug their heads, open the door and let us in, and then we have a tea and have a good talk."

The two of them said and answered each other. If they were blind, they must be two adults around the desk, dressed up straight and sat upright, and were dealing with each other in an official voice.

But Liu Guojian heard this and wanted to shoot Director Zhang: He just said that he was to put all the blame on Xi Shengmo, so he took him as a harbinger of revenge, turning this matter into a crazy act of a frustrated detective; but Director Zhang did not take this trick, and insisted that he sent Xi Shengmo to the dispatch and falsely accused the guards of the yamen to shoot the police first.

At this time, the mask cannot be worn for a long time, because both sides have already pointed at each other's guns. Liu Guojian saw the dagger, and his hands were fists and stomped on the tiles on the wall, roaring ferociously: "I'm the one named Zhang, I've sent an urgent telegram to the court! You attack the county government and shoot the servants! You plan to rebel! The army will immediately set off. Four hours later, the soldiers from the barracks outside Heyuan City will drive here along the railway. Those who know each other will immediately put down their weapons and surrender with their own hands! I can still turn things around for you in the memorial!"

Director Zhang sneered a few times, and his tone stopped disguising. He replied with a grin: "A man surnamed Liu, do you have a telegraph? Is the telegraph in my Public Security Bureau a good meal? I also sent an urgent telegraph to the court. You stuff your Fujianese people all over the yamen, exclude normal officials, accept bribes, fabricate businessmen charges, open casinos, shelter criminals, turn the yamen into bandit caves! Attack the police with guns! And you actually hinder the investigation of cult cases outside the city! These are all iron evidence! People, physical evidence and evidence are there! I can't wait for the imperial envoy to come down to investigate! You! Mom! You are dead!"

After saying this, it seemed like a cannon was rushing into Liu Guojian's yard, and it was immediately silent. Even the people outside seemed to feel a chilly black wind whirling above the yard.

The people inside and outside the yard waited for a long time, and they faintly heard sporadic crying sounds from the yard. After a long time, Liu Guojian's trembling voice came from the night sky. There was no longer the mayor's authority. He looked like a coachman who was blackmailed by a police officer. He shouted: "Lao Zhang, why bother you? Why bother?"

Director Zhang gritted his teeth and sneered: "Yesterday, I asked you: 'Why', who is fucking ignorant? You have to jump down yourself, what should we do?"

After saying that, he shouted loudly: "Surrender immediately!"

Everyone waited for a while, but there was no response in the yard, only a faint crying sound.

"Fuck! Give it to me!" Director Zhang was impatient and reached out to grab a torch under his hand, took two steps back behind the wall, and then threw it into the sky with all his might.

The torch rolled in the air, swirling across the wall, the courtyard, and the wall were thrown into the yard controlled by Liu Guojian, and a scream suddenly sounded inside.

"Twist the torch inward!" Director Zhang patted the soil on his hand and ordered.

"Call the officer, fire attack? Burn them to death?" Xi Shengmo asked in surprise.

"It's a big deal to burn it to death. Throwing two of them will scare them to pee. At that time, they will come out by themselves. Could it be that they really need to use guns and bayonets to capture the yard? You're crazy!" Director Zhang said without caring.

As Director Zhang expected, after throwing four or five torches in one after another, the Fujian Gang in the yard was frightened and he really thought that the people outside were crazy about to burn them to death.

Half an hour later, Liu Guojian opened the door to surrender.

Director Zhang naturally would not be polite to him. Not only the three gamblers, but not only the Fujianese, but all the people in the yamen yard were arrested and returned to the police station for interrogation. He also ordered the search of the entire yamen. In order to completely defeat the opponent in the officialdom, he hoped to find more iron handles in his hands. It would be best to find that there were a lot of money, opium, etc. in Liu Guo’s house building, and it was impossible to explain things, and he could not explain them, and the dragon robe was also fine, and it was better.

Liu Guojian was rebelled overnight and turned into a lonely man: except for the three escaped masters, all the people in the yamen were arrested.

The reason can't be more grand: because the sheriff cannot tell who the suspect is without interrogation and who is involved in resisting arrest with weapons.

There were a few locals in the guard who didn't want to get involved in this kind of bullets flying around, but they couldn't do it. They were so dark that they couldn't see clearly. They just watched the guns at the opposite side flash and extinguished. Bullets flew around. Do you dare to escape by yourself? Where can you escape? What should you do if you were beaten to death? Lean on the ground and pretend to die? What if the group of guys on the opposite side who inexplicably dared to attack the yamen stab you, who was lying on the ground, is absolutely harmless. What if you just pretend to be dead? You can't stand it even if you are stepped on your hands and feet!

They couldn't surrender, because they really didn't know what name to surrender and why they surrendered. They were the guards of the mayor of the Yamen. Who surrendered? Will they surrender to the Qing Dynasty? And how to surrender? They threw their guns and ran towards the other party? What should they do if they were shot by the Yamen suicide squad in the dark night? So they could only follow the large army to advance and retreat. As a result, in the last position, Liu Guojian's house, they were all tied up by all the flowers.

But they were not the most unlucky. The most unlucky were the two tax officials who had no relationship with the Fujian Gang. They were the most serious officials. They felt that the yamen office was ventilated and they slept coolly, so they did not go home. They lit the public oil lamps in the yamen, drank tea, played chess, and spent the night. As a result, they encountered gunfires and bullets flying around in the dark. They had no idea why they could only run around with the group of people closest to them, crawling around, and finally got blocked in Liu Guojian's official house. Now they were tied up and knelt on the ground and shouted: "Brothers! Comrades! I'm wronged! You can rebel, but don't kill people randomly! The villagers all know each other!"
Chapter completed!
