From Chief to Ball

Page 803

A lot of people voted no, and those no votes aroused the anger of the citizens, but only the anger that should be anger.Just like cats always steal fish, people will be angry when they see cats stealing dried fish carefully hidden by their own women, but this kind of anger is a natural and reasonable anger.

Hu Lin sat on the left side of the members of the Mexican party's council, and he was in front of these members of the Mexican party's rim.

At this time, support votes are dominant, and the surrounding citizens have already begun to celebrate.In their view, Hu Lin would naturally feel pity for what happened to him.Although the remaining members of the Mexican Party said that some of their ideas were different from those of their own, they would not be on the opposite side of their own in this matter. How can these people still have a conscience.

Hu Lin stood up, picked up the thin, cheap, but heavy ticket with the rules of the old era in his hand, looked around, looked at the expectant eyes of those around him, and let out a long sigh.

Before Chen Jian went to sea a few years ago, on that rainy night in the capital, he asked Chen Jian a question, but Chen Jian didn't give an answer at that time.

He scolded Chen Jian for being cold-blooded, and he also scolded that the world in Chen Jian's eyes was dead, but he just treated the world as a canvas and swayed on it wantonly.

But after Chen Jian went to sea, he witnessed all these changes in Mincheng, and when the contradiction between the old and the new really became a reality, he realized that he was powerless.Even if I am not cold-blooded, even if the world in my eyes is colorful and vivid, even if I have a conscience, I still don't know what to do.

He understands the pain of those small bankrupt producers, and he has also witnessed how those citizens who lived a decent life fell into abject poverty in a few years, sent their children to hydraulic workshops to do child labor, and sold their original Spacious houses, living in those small "buildings".

However, at this moment, holding the ticket, he did not go to the glass box that said support, but went straight to the glass box that opposed it after sighing.

The two glass boxes are not far apart, but they are not in a straight line after all.Thirty steps away, maybe 29 steps can be walked on the line of impartiality, and only made a choice at the last step, but he walked towards the glass with the objection written on it from the first step. box.

The citizens who were already preparing to celebrate suddenly froze their smiles on their faces. They recognized the words support and opposition, so they were sure that Hu Lin must recognize it, because Hu Lin was a teacher in the night school before the Mo Party, and he had spoken a lot about it. story.

Anyone who listens to the story will recognize it, but will the storyteller still admit his mistake?

Seeing Hu Lin walking towards the glass box step by step, many people's hearts began to tighten. It was not fear, but an indescribable feeling, like a kind of betrayal.

"Mr. Zhu Gan, that's the ballot box for objection!"

I don't know who yelled, but everyone knew that it was impossible for Hu Lin to be illiterate, and it was impossible for him to be unable to distinguish between support and opposition.

However, it was as if a natural event turned into an unexpected surprise, few people were able to respond as they should or say a word that should be said within a distance of thirty steps.Maybe someone can write a poem in seven steps, but it is because of the rarity that they can be famous.

In astonishment, I don't know what to say, or what kind of emotions to show. This ridiculous reminder, three points of expectation, three points of anger, and three points of surprise, has become the most appropriate sentence for the situation.

Without pausing, Hu Lin went straight to the front of the glass box, cast the vote against the "Prohibition of New Hydraulic Workshop Act", then turned around and shouted in the loudest voice he could shout in his life: "I be opposed to!"

The originally chaotic square fell into a strange silence, but the silence does not mean that voting will stop.The members of the Mo party's council who lined up behind Hu Lin put their votes into the objecting glass box one by one, and then stood with Hu Lin, saying similar but different words.

"Our party is against it."

hum...

Suddenly there were bursts of cursing in the square, interspersed with intermittent boos, many people cursed, and the young people who maintained order pulled their arms together to block the angry crowd.

"traitor!"

"Bah! The future you promised doesn't include us at all!"

"Look, this is the future that the Mexican party gave us, and it wants to starve us to death!"

"Get off! You don't deserve to stand there. Go and lick the ditches of those big workshop owners, bark a few times, and get a bone full of flies."

"Liar! Dog!"

"Surrender!"

Those members of the council of the Mexican party did not shy away from those angry gazes, nor did they stop their ears to listen to those curses, but shouted loudly, telling their reasons and solutions, even if it was a short-term improvement way.

However, the incited crowd couldn't listen at all, Hu Lin ran over to pick up a glass box, lifted it high and threw it hard on the ground.

The voice was not loud, but this sudden action made the chaotic crowd temporarily quiet. He climbed onto the table and shouted: "Citizens! Listen to me! We have a better solution..."

After all, Hu Lin's reputation was enough to keep everyone awake, including those members of the Mo Party.They were not the only ones who opposed it, but it was precisely because of this behavior regarded as betrayal that everyone felt extremely angry, and this also proved that what they did before was not so hateful to the extreme.

After a short silence, several members of the Mo Party standing with Hu Lin signaled Hu Lin to explain the follow-up questions with a trusting look. After all, Hu Lin has a higher prestige among the citizens.

However, just when Hu Lin was about to open his mouth, there was a burst of rhythmic flute and snare drum sound from the edge of the crowd, and then dozens of people sang something in harmony, which suppressed Hu Lin's voice, and also slightly changed the original sound. The stable situation was rekindled.

The negative vote of these people was unexpected to these angry citizens, but it was taken for granted by other caring people, so they could not let them say what they should say, but made preparations early.

The chorus of dozens of people could never be a sudden feeling or a tacit understanding from heaven, including those flute players and drummers, who were obviously prepared long ago.

The purpose is for this moment, when these people cast their negative votes, to completely drag these people into the opposition of these citizens.Don't allow reason, don't allow reason, even temporary reason must create an opportunity to burn a fire.

The rhythmic singing caught the attention of the citizens, and the satirical lyrics completely burned out the last sanity of these people, and also expanded the pain, anger and helplessness after the betrayal to boundless.

……

The officials are so clever!MPs are finer!

Relying on you, the Republic will be able to prosper;

Big merchants, workshop owners, help you govern the country;

Their medical skill is: kill first, then speak.

That gang of bastards, the little spinners are bastards;

In the name of the people of the country, what kind of help do you want?

The easiest way is to hang them near the factory;

Like a hanged dog, you can end the sickness of the republic.

Look, those little spinners.

That's a bunch of rascals, might rob;

Like a pack of wild dogs with nothing to eat;
