The bear child of the Red Chamber, Jia Cong

After the labor contract is signed and the workers achieve their goals, the jubilation inside and outside the yamen is like rain after a long drought.Dai Xiannai coughed twice: "The matter is over. It's time for you workers to go to work."

Ni Ziguang cupped his hands and said: "Thank you, Governor. I will inform my brothers right away, and I will start work tomorrow."

Zhen Hui smiled warmly, and said gracefully: "In case of a dispute, the only way to solve it is to sit down and negotiate in a friendly manner. Why bother to make a big fuss when you take action? It's when big things turn into small things. Look at Ni Mr. Pan understands."

Both Ni and Pan laughed: "Master Zhen is absolutely right."

Zhen Hui nodded: "Since that's the case, do you want the workers to go back to rest first? It's hard work to stay up all night."

Ni Ziguang said: "We have a lot of people, so it will be more troublesome to retreat. The masters have worked so hard, so let's go back first. We will leave after they leave, how about it?"

All the owners said in unison: "Okay, okay! Let's go first!" They were all called by soldiers sent by Mr. Zheng.If he had known this situation earlier, he would have pretended to be sick for more than half of the time.So they got up and said goodbye one after another, and Mr. Dai was among them. The reporters and photographers of "Fuzhou Business Daily" naturally followed along.

The sound of footsteps clattered away, and only the officials and workers were left in the house.There was a moment of silence, Dai Xianzhi's breathing could be heard all over the room.Zhen Hui stood up and poured a cup of tea to him: "My lord is thirsty, moisten your throat."

Dai Xian's heartbeat became more and more violent, but he said in his mouth: "The official is really thirsty." He picked it up and drank it down.

Seeing that he had finished eating, Zhen Hui turned around and wanted to speak.Pan Xigui stood up first and said, "I've been bothering Mr. Dai for so long, we should also say goodbye."

Zhen Hui immediately said: "The two gentlemen and brothers are good to go, remember to go to work tomorrow."

"Don't worry, my lord." Ni Ziguang also stood up, pointing to the contract held in the arms of the officer next to him, "With this, everyone will naturally do things well."

Zhen Hui smiled and said, "I don't know where the two gentlemen live? If there is anything wrong with this contract, I'd better find you two."

Ni Ziguang said: "All the yamen servants know that Ni lives in Anmin Lane diagonally opposite Jia's Ma Xing. I will leave this document with me for the time being. Don't worry, my lord. As long as my lord finds it, I will definitely wait for it."

"Good to say."

Ni Ziguang and Pan Xigui's father and daughter led the workers out of the governor's office.They were still in the vestibule, Zhen Hui had already walked up to Dai Xian and said, "Master Zheng is outside."

Dai Xian clutched his wrist and said solemnly: "Don't let the rebel one go!"

Zhen Hui thought to himself: "There are too many people, Mr. Zheng should only pick the culprit."

"No!" Dai Xian roared, "Don't let any one go!"

Zhen Hui persuaded: "If you can run away, the monk can't run away from the temple. Mr. Zheng must have been in a hurry when he came here in the middle of the night, and he may not have brought enough people. I will search slowly in the future, and I am afraid that I will not be able to get it? Didn't the masters sign a contract with them? Bai De With so many benefits, I won’t run away.”

Dai Xian thought, 3 people is really too many, even if Zheng Chao'er's soldiers can stand there, it will take a few days.It's better to grab a few bosses first.Nai gritted his teeth and said, "Forget it, let's send the batch of heads for now, and pick them up in a few days." Then he sat upright in the hall and waited.

After waiting for half a day, someone outside shouted, "Master Zheng is here." While speaking, he saw Zheng Chao'er striding in, and bowed to Dai Xian: "Master Dai, the old man is late."

Dai Xian didn't bother to return the gift, and hurriedly asked: "How many rebels have you caught?"

Zheng Chao'er was stunned: "Didn't your lord say that things have changed and you don't want to arrest the workers and their leaders?"

Dai Xian was anxious: "Why did I say that? You led the regular army and didn't catch a bunch of mud legs?"

Zheng Chao'er slapped her thigh and said angrily, "Oh! I've been fooled!"

Just now, a boy in the clothes of a servant in the house hurried out and told Zheng Chao'er that their master was in a hurry, so he let the workers go first due to a temporary change, so they must not be disturbed.Zheng Chao'er thought they had discovered something and wanted to put a long line to catch big fish, so he let them go!

Zhen Hui hurriedly said, "Is there still time to catch up now?"

"It's too late!" Dai Xian was in a hurry, pointing at Zheng Chao'er and cursing.

Zheng Chao'er is nearly sixty years old, ten years older than Dai Xian, and his official position was also higher than that of Dai Xian in the early days.Dai Xian has been the local emperor of Fujian for four or five years.Except for the previous governor Huang Wengang who was more humble in front of him, he couldn't help putting on airs with the officials next to him.Even though he treated veteran Zheng Chao'er politely, he had already regarded himself as a superior in his heart.At this moment, anger hit Tianling Gai, he ignored everything and scolded very harshly.Zhen Hui interrupted several times to no avail.Zheng Chao'er was ashamed and angry, she couldn't hold back her face, she held back for a while, cupped her hands and said: "I'm going to search for the rebels now." He turned around and left.

Dai Xian sneered and said, "I'm afraid the rebels have already boarded the boat and set out to sea, Mr. Zheng will not be able to catch up even if he boards the Hot Wheels!"

Instead, Zhen Hui shouted: "Master Zheng, those workers still have firearms in their hands, I don't know where they came from, sir, be careful."

"The general will understand!" Zheng Chao'er walked out quickly.

Only then did Dai Xian remember that the little girl surnamed Pan said that their firearms were snatched from the Fujian Armory, and hurriedly shouted: "Check which warehouse they forged the firearms from! The guards will kill all of them without leaving any!"

Zhen Hui immediately persuaded: "My lord, the thief is cunning, and Miss Pan is amazingly skilled in martial arts, so it may not be because the guards are incompetent. We must first interrogate."

"What's the next trial!" Dai Xian clapped the case, his eyes were red, "All incompetent people will be killed by this officer! Kill! Kill..." Before the last word "kill" was finished, his body suddenly softened and he fell down.The boy hurried over to help.However, Dai Xian was too fat and fell so fast that the servant couldn't support him, and both master and servant fell to the ground with a "plop".Looking at Dai Xian again, he has passed out.

Zheng Chao'er had already crossed the threshold at this moment, and after hearing it, there was a commotion and he had to come back.Zhen Hui ordered people to invite the doctor quickly, but two or three of the servants couldn't help Dai Xian, in the end it was Zheng Chao'er who sent two of his own soldiers to carry him into the back office.

Not long after, the doctor came, and after seeing Dai Xian's appearance, he said: "Master Dai is so angry that he has lost his mind."

Zhen Hui asked, "May I ask when he will wake up?"

The doctor said: "It's hard to say. Maybe three to five hours, maybe three to five days, even longer."

Zhen Hui and Zheng Chao'er exchanged glances.The doctor went outside to prescribe medicine, and Zhen Hui said to Zheng Chao'er: "Just now... Mr. Dai is unconscious. The officer thought that he should first find out how the armory was robbed. If there is no serious fault with the guards, wait until Mr. Dai wakes up. Come and decide. It is also the lives of many soldiers. It is not easy to train good soldiers these days. Even Lord Dai himself has been taught by others, let alone a few small soldiers."

Zheng Chao'er, as the chief soldier, was naturally not happy that Dai Xian wanted to kill his subordinate soldiers without trial.Hearing the words, he immediately said: "Master Zhen, please give me some good words then." Zhen Hui nodded.

Zheng Chao'er was worried about those firearms, so he went to check the armory first as Zhen Hui said.When I got to the place and asked, Miss Pan was the leader of the army, and the martial arts and firearms of the black-clothed army were better than those of the guards.It can be seen that this matter is not caused by a few mud legs, and I am afraid that there is another family behind it.Zheng Chao'er hurried back to the governor's office.

Dai Xian is still awake, Zhen Hui and Mr. Zhang are dealing with yamen affairs.Zheng Chao'er then discussed with the two of them.Zhen Hui immediately said: "At this point, I'm afraid I'm going to make a mistake and make a mistake." Zhang and Zheng asked why they should make a mistake, and Zhen Hui said, "Then the Pan father and daughter are from Jiangxi..."

Master Zhang interrupted: "Miss Pan is studying in Dajiala."

"Yes." Zhen Hui said, "It's just that there are quite a few young people who go to Dajiala to study. And the list made by Pan Xigui is also the masterpiece of Ruijin County Magistrate in Jiangxi Province. In my opinion, Su Tao's suspicion is much like Jia Lian's. You can't guess what they want to do. Why don't you just wait and see what they do next before making a decision."

Master Zhang thought for a long time: "According to Master Zhen's intention, those workers don't move?"

Zhen Hui said: "Those workers were obviously deceived by Pan's father and daughter, and it is useless to capture them. Pan and Ni..." She looked at Zheng Chao'er, "Why don't you try to catch them? Then Ni Ziguang is Jia's Ma Xing is in charge of affairs, I don’t know if it has something to do with the Rongguo Mansion.” He frowned slightly, “I don’t know when Lord Dai will wake up. He is usually quite arbitrary. There is a change in this matter, if someone else handles it casually, I am afraid that Lord Dai will wake up. He's going to get angry again. He was hurt by anger, if he gets angry again..."

Master Zhang sighed: "I also have this concern."

The three of them looked at each other for a long time, but they didn't dare to make a decision rashly.Zhen Hui hesitated and said: "I'm a woman, and I look ordinary. Most men would look down on a woman like me. How about... I pretended that there was something wrong with the contract, and went to Ni Ziguang to discuss it and try it out?" Zhang Zheng Both said "you can give it a try".

Zhen Hui took the stack of labor contracts and went straight to Anmin Lane.When she got to the entrance of the alley, she jumped off her horse. Because she was wearing an official robe, many children gathered around to watch her.Zhen Hui smiled and asked, "Do you know where Mr. Ni Ziguang of Jia's Horse Company lives?"

The child pointed out: "There is an old camphor tree at the door, and there is a faded red lantern hanging on the camphor tree."

Zhen Hui thanked him, walked into the alley only twenty or thirty steps, and sure enough saw the old camphor tree.She tied up her horse and knocked on the door of the house under the tree.After filming for a long time, an old woman with dim eyes slowly came out of it.When she asked, she said that Ni Ziguang was her son and hadn't been home for many days.Zhen Hui couldn't help laughing, she cupped her hands and turned away from the gate of their house, standing under the tree and waiting.

After a while, Ni Ziguang walked over from the other side of the alley, and clasped his fists apologetically: "Master Zhen, please wait."

Zhen Hui raised her brows: "Mr. Ni is deeply respected by the neighbors." Ni Ziguang's face was bright.Zhen Hui said sternly, "I am a little unclear about the contract signed with Mr. Ni in the morning, and I hope Mr. Ni will enlighten me."

"I know everything, and I can say everything. Sir Zhen, please."

Ni Ziguang led her back to his home, where a man seemed to have been waiting for a long time.Ni Ziguang personally poured a cup of hot water and put it in front of Zhen Hui, and said with a smile, "Master Zhen came so fast."

Zhen Hui smiled slightly, and took out a piece of handkerchief from her bosom, which was wrapped with something.Open it and see that it is the seal of the governor of Fujian.Zhen Hui said: "How can such an important contract not be stamped?" The three looked at each other and laughed.

The stack of contracts that the trade union got was on the desk. Ni Ziguang put it together with the one that Zhen Hui brought, and took out a box of red ink pad from the drawer and opened it.Zhen Hui rolled up his sleeves and picked up the big seal of the governor, and the two of them helped to turn the pages, stamping on the contract one by one, like making rice cakes.After the building was finished, the man waiting in the room opened the big cabinet and took out a camera from it.Four large characters are embroidered on the camera curtain: Fuzhou Business Daily.

When things were settled, Ni Ziguang asked with a smile, "How does Governor Zhen know that's not my home?"

Zhen Hui casually flipped through the contract and said, "Mr. Ni was originally the servant of the King Regent of the Kingdom of Yan, and his parents are both in Taiwan."

Ni Ziguang was surprised: "Not many people know about this anymore."

Zhen Hui raised her eyebrows and smiled: "I was training in Dajiala in the early years, and Comrade Chen Hongxiu told me."

Ni Ziguang snorted: "Pull it down, sister Hong Xiu is not so gossip, it must be their family Lan Xiang who told you to put the hat on sister Hong Xiu's head." Zhen Hui smiled—this matter It's really Chen Hong. Sleeve gossip.She also said, "Even if you tell Ziguang that I said it, he will not believe it, and think it was my brother."

Zhen Hui went to Ni Ziguang without saying anything, and sadly returned to the Governor's Yamen.After discussing with Zheng Zongbing and Master Zhang for half a day, they finally decided to stand still.One is to wait for Dai Xian to wake up and make the decision, and the other is to wait and see what happens, and send more people to Jia's horse shop to watch Ni Ziguang.

Three days later, a new issue of "Fuzhou Business Daily" was published, which was a special issue of Fujian labor contracts.There was a photo printed on the top of the front page. It was Dai Xian, the governor of Fujian, with a very satisfied smile.And there is another photo below, which is a stack of contracts.One of them was still spread out, and the governor's seal could be vaguely seen stamped on it.

Both Zhen Hui and Master Zhang were amazed.The two of them were in the governor's hall that day, and they clearly never stamped their seals.Quickly find out the stack of contracts and have a look, there is indeed a seal on it!The two looked at each other, and Zhen Hui said, "Sir, you always carry your seal with you."

"That's right." Master Zhang nodded, "Never leave the body."

Zhen Hui said: "That Miss Pan can fly over walls."

The two hurried to the back.Dai Xian was still lying unconscious on the bed.Master Zhang asked about his belongings, and the serving maid pointed to a small box beside the bed.When I opened the box, I found that there was indeed the big seal of the governor inside, and the bottom of the seal was still stained with fresh red ink pad.Master Zhang gasped.Zhen Hui muttered: "What is their origin!"

All chambers of commerce waited for Dai Xian to wake up, but he never woke up. The report of "Fuzhou Business Daily" was immediately reported and reprinted by many newspapers from all over the country.The Dai family couldn't care about anything else, so they were busy looking for doctors to see Dai Xian.The affairs of the yamen are managed by Zhen Hui.

Heaven fails to fulfill one's wishes.At the end of November, Dai Xian passed away.In December, the saints in the capital sent a father-in-law as a special envoy to express their condolences and read out the imperial decree on the spot.Zhen Hui, who was promoted to participate in politics, became the governor of Fujian and took charge of a province in Fujian.Fujian officials were all astonished.Dai Xian's two sons immediately jumped up and refused to accept it.The father-in-law said indifferently: "This is a holy order, so I don't have to wait for you to refuse." He looked at Zhen Hui again, "I also hope that Lord Zhen will love the people for the saint and keep them safe."

Zhen Hui made a bow and said, "The next official will receive the order." Then he took over the governor's robe and seal, and took office on the same day.

The labor contract signed by the chamber of commerce and the labor union was originally signed by Zhen Hui, and then she became the governor, so the fake became real.That strike, known as the "Fujian Strike" in history, opened the first page of workers' armed resistance against capitalist exploitation.Later generations will set November [-]th as Labor Day, and all workers will have a three-day holiday.
