"Yes."

"It's too late to set up a supervisory agency for this incident. So the procuratorate took the lead and sent elite soldiers to Anhui to investigate."

"Great Uncle, read these newspapers."

Bengbu.

Anhui, the commercial center and commodity distribution center in northern Anhui.

Because this is where Anhui businessmen gather, or many businessmen will stop in Bengbu if they want to pass through Anhui.A large number of businessmen pass here, so Bengbu is considered a relatively open area in Anhui.It is precisely because of this that many young people in Bengbu are students of Anqing.There will also be a phenomenon where two people elope.

Of course, there are also a large number of wealthy and powerful families here.

The Xu family in Bengbu is one example.

In the past, the Xu family was just a local landlord family in Bengbu. Later, Bengbu became the trading center of Anhui, and Bengbu's economy began to develop greatly.A large number of businessmen gathered in Bengbu, and many local people in Bengbu developed by virtue of the development of Bengbu.

The Xu family, a local landlord's family in Bengbu, began to rise rapidly in the late Qing Dynasty.

rich.

After getting rich, many people started to engage in this and that, and now they have slowly become a big family.After more than half a century of development, it has become a family with certain strength in Anhui.

"Humph."

It was supposed to be a small thing.

But after Tang Qunying came, things got bigger.As the capital of Anhui Province, Anqing is also a big city in China today because it is on the Yangtze River.The economy here is very good, as is the education.

There are many schools.

After Tang Qunying came to Anhui, he mobilized the female students in Anqing and launched a vigorous parade.

Everyone knows what's going on.

All the newspapers were buzzing.

"Family ugliness, family ugliness. How did the third family educate their children to create such a family ugliness. Our Xu family has lost all face now, how will we hold our heads up outside in the future. We have a bad reputation, do you know?"

Sitting on it, an old man in his seventies kept patting the table.

His face was already full of anger.

Then he pointed to the juniors below and said: "Elope, elope, the women of my Xu family actually eloped with others, it's immoral and shameful. In the future, as long as people talk about our Xu family, they will say that our Xu family women have a bad style Who dares to marry a woman to our Xu family in the future, who will the woman of our Xu family marry. The matter has been suppressed, why is it so violent now. Tang Qunying, a crazy woman, he is not in Hunan, What are you doing in Anhui?"

attack?

The old man didn't care at all.

The old man only cares about one thing, fame, fame.As a big family, it can also be regarded as a heirloom of poetry and books.Although it is not as good as a family that has passed down poems and books for hundreds of years, there have also been many scholars who have been officials in the family.

What is the biggest concern of such a family?

It is fame.

But if the woman of the family has done such an "immoral" thing, the family will not have a reputation in the future.The reason why this matter was suppressed a year ago was because of fear of ruining the family's reputation.That's why he killed that male student who didn't know what to do.

Things were suppressed at first, but a year later there was another disturbance for no reason.

"Great Uncle, the problem now is that public opinion demands that the government's judiciary intervene in this case and demand that the 'murderer' be severely punished."

"The judiciary?"

The old man was taken aback.

Then he said angrily: "If the people don't sue the officials, it's our family business. Why, the government even takes care of our family affairs."

"Grand Uncle, you should know that someone is dead."

"He deserved to be killed."

The old man has a stubborn temper.

If you dare to abduct a woman from your own family, you will be lightly beaten to death.Although this kind of abduction of family women is not common in big families, it is not to say that there is no such thing.In the past, the rules for women were relatively strict, so it was difficult for many young women to meet men outside.Even if they know each other, they must be from a well-connected family.So this kind of thing happened in the past, mainly because some family ladies and servants fell in love with each other and wanted to elope.

what's the result?

It's nothing new to kill people after they're caught.

That's what everyone does.

The speaking middle-aged man scratched his head.

I looked at each other with some of the people below.However, some people said: "Grand Uncle is right, he deserves to be beaten to death. This is our family matter. It is our kindness that we didn't beat the boy's family to death. Why should the government care about it?"

"Yes, yes."

"The government really has nothing to do, and it still cares about such things."

"Since ancient times, such people have been beaten to death."

The middle-aged man frowned.

These people are far away from the sky and the emperor, and they are used to being kings and hegemons in the local area.There is no kingly law in the eyes at all, a bunch of frogs sitting in a well and watching the sky.For them, the patriarchal clan is above all else, and their own reputation and face are above all else.And since ancient times, local governments have turned a blind eye to such things.

But middle-aged people are different.

The middle-aged man came back from Anqing specially.

Member of the Provincial Assembly.

Knowledge is much higher than these frogs at the bottom of the well.My family is not bad, it is a big family, can be the king and hegemony in Bengbu area, even in Anhui is one of the big families.Not to mention the family itself, there are countless old relatives of all kinds.There are many contacts in Anhui's political and business circles.

It is indeed a local bully.

But compared with the government with guns, it is really an ant.

When Ni Sichong and these warlords ruled Anhui, who dared to say anything to them.Because those soldiers don't care who you are?

If there is no military expenditure during the war, these families will be blackmailed, and few people dare to oppose it.Because these warlords are unruly.These big families are most afraid of these unruly warlords.

But when it comes to strength, what is Ni Sichong?What are the warlords who ruled Anhui before?

Compared with the current government, its strength is much worse.
