The saddest thing in the world is that there are so many people in front of your store, but they are all from the store next door.
This is the case with the Legal Aid Department at this time.
Naturally, Fan Chunren was unwilling to accept this, so he lowered his status and ran directly to the next door to grab business.
The line has stretched to the door of my store. This is outrageous.
"Young man, I wonder if the General Police Department forced you to come here to pay the money?"
"Who are you? What's your heart?"
The young man immediately looked at Fan Chunren with caution.
Fan Chunren hurriedly explained: "I am from the Legal Aid Department. If they force you, you can come to me to file a complaint and I will fight for you for free."
"Hey, young man! You spies are so sinister. You actually want to instigate our lawsuit just to make money. It's really unreasonable. Go away! Go away!"
"I.....!"
...
...
Fan Chunren looked depressed.
Don't you know what free means?
An uncle dressed as a businessman suddenly said, "You are such an ungrateful person. You don't even know Mr. Fan. If you ever run into a lawsuit in the future, don't come here for help."
The young man looked at Fan Chunren nervously.
Fan Chunren did not argue with him, but apologized: "I asked the wrong question and scared the young man, but I had no bad intentions."
The young man also hurriedly said, "Sorry! Sir, please don't argue with me."
"No! No!" Fan Chunren said with a smile.
Suddenly, someone behind me said, "Mr. Fan is suspicious, and that's understandable. It's really strange that he's rushing to pay the government! He must be forced to do so."
Everyone looked back and saw an unkempt old man walking towards them.
Fan Chunren nodded slightly.
The businessman smiled and said, "Brother, you misunderstood. We came here voluntarily. No one forced us."
The old man shook his head and said, "How is this possible? We have already occupied the wall. If we don't pay the ten strings of money, the government can't tear it down."
The businessman said, "That being said, if it is really demolished, we will suffer a huge loss. And even if it is not demolished, we still have to pay the money!"
The old man asked curiously, "What's the mystery behind this?"
Fan Chunren also looked at the uncle curiously.
The businessman said, "Because the Ma family and the Chen family have announced that any house that has encroached on the street will be based on the new house deed. Otherwise, the occupied land will not be counted.
The reason is that they can't guarantee that the government won't demolish it in the future. If they don't pay the ten strings of cash, they will at least lose hundreds of strings of cash when they buy and sell the house in the future."
Fan Chunren nodded slightly.
Home loans are now deeply rooted in people's minds. If the Ma family does not provide a loan, the house will be difficult to sell!
A man on the side suddenly said, "Many streets, if you don't have some connections, you don't dare to invade the streets at will. For example, my house, I usually dare to build a small shed and put two small wine tables. Khotan can't use it in winter, but now I can build a small shed, and I only need to pay ten strings of money, but it will be considered as my homestead."
"I see."
Fan Chunren nodded, and gestured to the old man to come in and sit down.
This old man was none other than Wang Anshi.
Sima Guang and Wen Yanbo went to the site to supervise, but he did not. He just focused on the money.
Because he knows that the key lies in money, not in demolition and reconstruction.
As long as the money is in place, you can demolish it as you like.
Back to the LAD.
Fan Chunren made a cup of tea for Wang Anshi.
Wang Anshi held up his teacup and smiled, "It's a pity that you don't hold an official position now. If you were in the Censorate, you could impeach the General Police Office for competing with the people for profits. The people next door are really robbing you of your money!"
The words were full of sarcasm.
In fact, he admired Fan Chunren's personal morality, but Fan Chunren could never get along with him, and he used to be at odds with him every day.
Fan Chunren said with a smile: "Now the General Police Office is just using the area around the town wall to win over the people and merchants, but I believe that the General Police Office is definitely not trying to benefit the people. The good show is still to come, so Mr. Wang, don't worry."
Wang Anshi laughed and said, "I know, the fun is yet to come, but I want to ask you, Fan Yaofu, did they do anything wrong?"
Fan Chunren stroked his beard and asked, "What does Master Wang mean?"
Wang Anshi said: "Of course it is to renovate the streets!"
Fan Chunren said: "I am referring to possible bribery and injustice."
......
So far, the rectification plan of the General Police Department has been exceptionally smooth, and has been applauded everywhere.
The people are really rushing to ask the General Police Station to rectify them.
They need to rectify.
But officials all knew that this was just an illusion.
The killer move is at the back.
Don't be happy too soon.
However, the doubts of the literati were soon drowned out by the cheers of the people, and no opposing public opinion could ever form.
This made the powerful officials in the court very anxious.
I can only curse the General Police Department for being shameless.
This time you didn't send a message and didn't announce your reform plan first.
They were aware of the entire plan.
But the task was given to the General Police Office. It was up to the General Police Office to decide whether to issue a notice or not. People did not believe what they said, and there were no newspapers to form public opinion.
What people see now is that the Lifang system has been completely abolished and everyone can open a shop on the street.
Although you have to pay some money, the housing prices are so high that it’s a dead profit when converted!
The powerful and wealthy had no choice, but they knew that the other party's true colors would be exposed sooner or later.
Now they are sending people everywhere to inquire about the news of the General Police Headquarters.
But... nothing.
They didn't even know the whereabouts of Cao Dongdong, Zhang Fei and others.
The sheriff was also missing.
Where is this person going?
This makes them panic!
It looks like he is holding back a big move.
It turned out that Cao Dongdong, Zhang Fei, Ma Xiaoyi and others were all hiding in a training ground of the Infantry Division outside the city.
Since the day the wall was demolished, no one has returned home and they have stayed here ever since.
Until the seventh day.
Three o'clock in the morning.
"Do you all remember your mission?"
Cao Dongdong asked in a conscientious manner, like a sheriff.
The sheriffs nodded.
After discussing this for seven or eight days, reviewing and memorizing it every day, even a fool would remember it.
Cao Dongdong said, "Okay, go get ready and set off at four o'clock in the morning. We will be waiting for you at the designated location."
"yes."
After they left, Cao Dongdong rubbed his hands nervously and asked Zhang Fei, who was yawning beside him, "Zhang San, is everything really okay?"
Zhang Fei smiled and said, "Yanei, you have to remember one thing. When doing bad things, you must be quick. Speed is of the essence in war. But when doing good things, you have to drag your feet."
Cao Dongdong's eyes turned, "That makes sense."
.......
Divine Guard Camp.
The sound of gongs and drums rang out.
The soldier of the Divine Guard woke up from his dream, hurriedly got out of bed, and was about to put on his clothes when the door was pushed open from the outside and a beam of fire shone in.
Another box of clothes was thrown in.
The captain at the door ordered, "Everyone change into your clothes, and assemble at the playground immediately."
The soldiers were all confused.
Changing clothes in the middle of the night, is this a rebellion?
He looked inside the box.
Huh?
Isn't this a police uniform?
Changing into police uniforms in the middle of the night, what is the purpose?
Having said that, the clothes of the Divine Guards need to be made, not measured. Their height is almost all around 1.8 meters, and the Fourth Army has this standard.
......
At dawn, when the scholars and officials were still sleeping, the residents south of Zhouqiao had already washed up and were ready to go out to work.
This was a very crowded residential area in Bianliang. With so many people, there were naturally a lot of business opportunities, which led to many people building sheds in front of their homes and setting up stalls to do business.
If you drive, then I want to drive too, and the more I can get, the better.
It's a public area anyway.
The streets here are not wide, unlike Bianhe Street and Ma Xing Street. There are so many shanties that many streets here are only wide enough for one person to pass. If there are two people, they have to turn sideways.
I heard a neigh and saw a handsome young man riding a tall horse coming to the street corner, followed by more than fifty patrolmen.
The residents were dumbfounded.
What is this for?
But the young man gave an order, "Tear down all these sheds that are encroaching on the street."
This young man was none other than Cao Dongdong.
The tall patrolman behind him immediately stepped forward, each with a bucket of water, and put out the stove under the shed.
"What are you doing?"
"Why are you demolishing my house?"
"The soldiers are tearing down our house! The soldiers are tearing down our house!"
......
In an instant, the whole street was in chaos, with cries and shouts coming one after another.
"I'm going to fight you!"
I saw several big men jumped out and stretched out their hands to stop the patrol police.
Cao Dongdong, who was still riding on his horse, whispered to Zhang Fei beside him, "Is he one of ours?"
Zhang Fei said: "Of course not, this kind of tickling behavior should be arranged by the other party."
Cao Dongdong nodded.
After these big men jumped out, many residents also began to block the patrol police, and physical conflict immediately occurred between the two sides.
This small stall is the only livelihood for many people.
You are forcing them to death. They will die anyway, so just fight them!
The situation was about to get out of control.
I heard a loud shout.
"Stop! If you dare to dismantle my stall, I will die with you."
I saw a man holding a torch and waving it at the patrolmen.
These patrolmen were all soldiers of the Divine Guard. They actually didn't know what they were doing. They were just following orders. When they saw this madman holding a torch and waiting here, they were immediately scared.
Once the fire is lit, everyone will perish.
The residents also gathered behind the man, each holding a stick, with a ferocious look on their faces, sharing the same hatred for the enemy.
Zhang Fei whispered, "Yanei, come down quickly, it's time for your performance."
"Our people?"
"Nonsense! How dare they do that?"
Cao Dongdong dismounted from his horse in a handsome manner and walked calmly towards the man holding the torch.
The man waved the torch and said to Cao Dongdong: "You... don't come over here, I will really burn it."
Cao Dongdong was very calm. He walked up to the man and shook his hand quickly.
The torch was shaken and sparks flew.
The residents couldn't help but shudder.
Brother, don't really light it.
Cao Dongdong smiled and said, "You want to burn it, don't you? Come! I'll teach you how to burn it."
Holding the man's hand, he walked towards a house nearby.
When they came under the eaves, Cao Dongdong looked up and said to the man, "See the straw on the roof? It's best to light it there."
“No…don’t!”
“You can’t order it!”
"Don't do that!"
.......
Those residents who were showing off their power by holding sticks were now so frightened that their legs were shaking, as if they were going to urinate at the next moment.
"Why are you shaking?"
Cao Dongdong glanced at the man and said, "Don't be afraid. This sheriff will die with you."
As he said this, he grabbed the man's hand and touched the straw.
Not to mention the residents, even the soldiers of the Divine Guard were terrified.
"Captain Cao...Captain Cao, don't be impulsive!"
“No!”
Many people covered their eyes in fear.
Only Zhang Fei stood aside with a calm expression.
With a click, the torch in the man's hand fell to the ground.
A patrolman was quick to rush over and put out the torch.
Cao Dongdong shook the man's hand and shouted, "Tear them all down."
The patrolmen did not dare to delay and started to dismantle it immediately.
This was so violent that many residents were scared to death. Those who were not scared were trembling and dared not resist. Many women sat on the ground and burst into tears.
At this time, a handsome man appeared in front of them.
It makes no difference.
What they lack is not desire, but money.
He cried even harder. No matter how handsome he was, he would look like a devil in a patrolman's uniform.
This handsome man was none other than Zhang Fei.
Zhang Fei said in a clear voice: "Now that you feel scared, you should know why we want to demolish your shed. It's simple, we are afraid of causing a fire. Look at your place. If there is a flood, you may not be able to escape even if you want to, and the fire department will not be able to come in to rescue you."
A young man shouted angrily: "I have lived here for more than ten years and I have never seen a flood."
Zhang Fei smiled and said, "If the water breaks out, can you still stand here and talk to me?"
"But if you tear down our sheds, we will lose our livelihood and starve to death," cried an old lady.
Zhang Fei said: "We will compensate you with a better stall."
"......?"
The crying stopped abruptly.
He said compensation?
Zhang Fei said: "The current emperor has always ruled the country with benevolence, so how could he see his people starving to death? But the emperor also cannot bear to see his people in danger.
In order to have the best of both worlds, the emperor has decided to open up the entire Imperial Street for his people to make a living on. The location of the Imperial Street is much better than here. Once it is opened, the whole street will be crowded, which is much better than setting up stalls here. And for the stalls that are demolished today, we will rent a stall to you for free on a one-to-one basis. "
One person groaned, "Really? Are we really allowed to set up a stall on Imperial Street?"
Zhang Fei nodded and said, "Of course it's true. The shed has been demolished. You can come to me to register now."
The man immediately shouted: "The government is wise!"
Many ladies did not understand this, and when they saw the reactions of these people, they thought that they had taken advantage of the situation and shouted, "The government is wise."
"The government is wise."
People immediately shouted in unison.
The "patrolmen" who were demolishing the house felt something was strange.
I am demolishing your house here, and you are cheering from the sidelines.
this.......
In just one morning, all the sheds on the entire street were demolished. After all, they were all made of wood, so they were demolished very quickly.
Zhang Fei let out a sigh of relief and said, "Look for yourself, isn't it much fresher?"
The residents looked back and found that the place was much cleaner, but they could hardly find their homes.
