Twenty hours later.On the unbearably sleep-deprived face, the eye sockets are darkened, the cheeks are pale, and the temples and eye tips are shining red with excitement. Still in his bedroom.There are only two people: him and Zhu Jimin. He walked back and forth anxiously like a lion in a cage.Zhu Jimin's eyes followed him back and forth.On the third trip, Zhu Jimin suddenly said, "I don't think you should go, either?" "Go! Why don't you go!" Zhang couldn't bear to just tilt his head, and continued to walk. "The two of them have abandoned their responsibilities. If they don't go, I will go alone! Three people represent the will of the masses, and one person still represents the will of the masses. My qualifications as representatives have not been revoked, so I will go !"

Zhu Jimin nodded, but also sighed slightly.Zhang couldn't bear to stand still, and said: "I'm 120% dissatisfied with Jun Jue! Why did he run with his old man, and he didn't want to hold the old man to run with him? I came back from the banquet last night, and I followed Hu Si too He talked to me; after arguing for more than three hours, his thousands of words had only one meaning: don’t do mass movements, because the new county magistrate and the second boss are looking for our faults. My answer is only one sentence: No way! We have to settle public funds with the second boss, but we also need to do other things. Liquidating public funds is not the main task of saving the country! Hu Si and the others are satisfied as long as their personal revenge is avenged, but we can’t!”

"That's right! We can't!" Zhu Jimin was also excited, but with a sense of regret, he said softly: "Hu Si, it's not surprising; it's just that Mr. Zhao only saw his smallness, but it's unavoidable—— " "Old Mr. Zhao is getting old. Junjue is the one who shouldn't be. He just said that the public opinion on the second boss suddenly changed, so we must think carefully about it!" "By the way, what's going on? Also, I also feel a little strange that Zhou Jiu suddenly invited you to dinner." "Hey!" Zhang couldn't bear to look sideways at the sky outside the window, "Maybe it's a demonstration against me, maybe it's trying to bribe me—I'll let you know, hehe! Jimin, tell me, isn't that a demonstration? Last night, Zhou The Jiu Na banquet was very lively, from the beginning to the end, there were two kinds of heads, the host and the guests—except for me, all the talk was about the second boss's report of the private goods. This number one local traitor was simply called a national hero! Zhou Jiu was afraid that I was not disgusted enough, so he held me back and said, "Haha, the second boss is really straightforward and thoughtful. No one would say that he is friendly enough. You see, he is very passionate and patriotic, and he is not afraid of grievances. Report He and you are really comrades—comrades!’ Jimin, the banquet last night was a commemorative wine for the second boss who transformed himself into a national hero, and it was also a promotional wine!"

"Today, the entire county is praising this 'hero'! We also found slogans in our school!" "Oh? There are also in your school?" "The principal also told the students in the school during the court meeting that the second boss is the one who truly loves the country!" "Hey, shameless thing!" "But, I can't bear it, tell me, is this true or false?" "Look it's true." "Then, he transported the private goods himself and reported it himself. Isn't that against the money bag?" "Maybe he's reporting someone else's private goods—"

"Absolutely not! He is the only smuggling agency in the entire county!" "Maybe he's playing tricks." "I think so too, but Junjue says no. Junjue thinks this is a strategy of 'a strong man cuts off his wrist'. According to the regulations, the reporter can get half of the price of the goods as a reward; if his batch of goods originally cost 300 yuan, they will be confiscated and auctioned off. It was four hundred, and he was rewarded two hundred,..." "I only sacrificed one hundred, didn't I?" Zhang couldn't bear to smile, "However, at noon today, I heard that Zhou Jiu bought that batch, so how do you calculate it?"

"Really?" "It seems to be true. So I still can't figure out the mystery in the middle. However, Jimin, no matter what, his move does have a booster effect." "I can't bear it! I can guess. Maybe Zhou Jiuling can sell it for five hundred!" "Oh, maybe. We are not familiar with business conditions, so let's leave it alone for this abacus. It's his shot in the arm, how do we deal with it? " Zhang couldn't bear to cross his arms in front of his chest, and walked back and forth again. Zhu Jimin looked at the sky, shook his head slowly, moved a step, lowered his head and whispered softly: "The masses are too immature, too easy to be deceived, it's hard to do!" Suddenly Zhang couldn't bear to turn around and stared at the crowd. Zhu Jimin said: "No! Jimin, it's not that the masses are too naive, it's because their patriotism is very high! It's very high, so the second boss's boost can also work. We need to use this high emotion to speed up our work. Let's quickly organize the 'smuggling group'. We want to say that there must be more than one smuggling agency in the county. What the second boss reported was just..." He suddenly heard footsteps outside the door, turned to look, and saw At the foot of the east wall there was a group of disturbed figures; at this time Zhu Jimin also saw it, looked around in a hurry, and took a step back, as if he wanted to find a place to hide.Zhang couldn't bear to stride to the door and opened it.

The first one to come in was Yunxian, who immediately asked, "What did you say?" Zhang couldn't bear not to answer, but just looked out.The second person to come in was Zhao Junfang.Zhu Jimin settled down and said: "So it's you!" "I saw another one, who is it?" Zhang couldn't bear to close the door. "Your landlord," Zhao Junfang replied, "saw us coming, and he slipped away." Yunxian opened the door to look again, closed the door, turned around and said, "He is hiding outside the door and eavesdropping! Why don't you think so? What did you say?" Zhang couldn't bear to bite his lip and sneered.

Zhu Jimin looked at the two ladies in astonishment, but the two ladies looked at Zhang Can't Bear with nervous faces. "There's nothing important to say." Zhang couldn't bear the loneliness and replied with a smile. "We can disclose everything. It's useless to send detectives." "Talk casually," Zhu Jimin interjected, "talk about that national hero." "You're still talking about something important!" Yunxian said with a glare at her husband, and then looked at Zhu Jimin again. "I just went to Junfang's house, and she said that during lunch today, Lu——Lu Zishou had a long conversation with Old Man Zhao. Junfang only overheard one sentence: 'The county magistrate has investigated and found out who are the traitors in the city.' Later, when Lu Zishou left, old man Zhao sent him to the gate in person. Fang! Didn’t you say that when the old man came back from seeing off the guests, he said to himself that young people are really messing around?”

Zhao Junfang nodded, but stared at Zhang's unbearable face intently. "Junfang and I came together." Yunxian took a step closer to her husband, "Many people keep staring at me and whispering nonsense." "It's because you're looking at them too!" Zhang couldn't bear to say with a faint smile. "Yunxian! Nervous..." "Not neurotic. I do see a conspiracy brewing, targeting you and me." "Do you regard me and you as traitors?" Zhang couldn't bear to say with a slight smile. "I have the same opinion as Yunxian." Zhao Junfang lowered her voice. "Maybe your lives are still in danger!"

Zhu Jimin heard it clearly from the side, and couldn't help shivering; he went to the window to have a look, then walked back and said softly to Zhang Canren: "You should stop being your representative. The two have already If you don’t want to go, why bother to stand alone.” "What representative?" Zhao Junfang asked with concern. "It's the representative of the training of strong men. He went to the county magistrate to petition, asking for guns, shooting targets, and teaching wild exercises." Zhu Jimin replied. "Originally, Sun Er and Chen Weixin were also representatives, but they just sent someone to say that they didn't go."

"You don't want to go either!" Yunxian couldn't bear to say to Zhang, but then turned to look at Zhao Junfang, "Isn't that right, Fang? It doesn't make any sense to go with only one of the three." Zhang couldn't bear to frown and glanced at the three of them, and said slowly: "If I don't go, I won't have to talk to the strong men in the future. I'm going to petition, and there's nothing illegal, so why be nervous." For the time being, everyone was silent, only Zhang couldn't bear the sound of footsteps walking back and forth alone. Zhang couldn't bear to hold the hat in his hand, and said to Yunxian: "Tomorrow's poster is ready; the article "From Banning Homeless Beggars to Big Traitors" is the first one. I want to write a few more words about The text of 'report private goods' and 'smuggling gang'." Zhang couldn't bear to go away boldly.Zhu Jimin twisted his body and said, "I still have something to do at school." There were two women left in the house.Zhao Junfang looked out the window, stared blankly for a while, then turned around and took Yunxian's hand.
