Fang Jianlin and his party spent three weeks in this dilapidated temple. Although they were not short of simple food every day, they would not be hungry and they also had a bed to sleep, but they had broken off their news from the outside world and were always panicked.

As for Jie Hongfen and Jie Hongying, they were going to apply for interns at the National Affairs Institute, but this time they temporarily invited half a month to go to the capital. Now the holiday is over. Unexpectedly, they suffered this disaster on the way to the capital and missed the time to apply for the exam, so they were even more upset. Fortunately, there were people accompanying each other, and this group of foreigners were very friendly, so they became content with the situation. Later, they volunteered to act as life supervisors and chefs, and helped the two minions who came to serve.

As for Fang Jianlin, the matter had already happened, and he thought it was useless to blame others. After a few days in the dilapidated temple, he also entrusted his fate to God to arrange it. From the perspective of news interviews, it was rare to be able to experience this unprecedented bizarre kidnapping case. From the future, he took out a thick interview book every day, and carefully recalled it from the first day of the case, and carefully recorded the important things of the day and his feelings, which was enjoyable.

Among these people, the most calm one is Song Zhiyu, a businessman in his forties. Compared to their slowly accustomed to it, he seemed to be a little leisurely. After getting up every day, he would turn around in a limited space and even chat with foreigners there. From their words, he seemed to be able to get some things he needed, such as what kind of goods is urgently needed in Europe now. In fact, what is needed is very simple. You can guess one or two of them depending on the increase in prices.

Finally, in the early morning of November 20, the Chinese and foreign "meat tickets" who had already put on Shandong cotton coats had just finished washing and were about to cook. When they saw Guo Qi stepping into the temple with a serious look on their faces, Xie Hongfen hurriedly raised her from the earthen stove and was about to ask a question. Guo Qi said first:

"Your letter has been sent out, and the Beijing government knows it, but they treat your life as a joke and are still bargaining with us. Today, I would like to ask you to write to the government and relevant parties to tell us about the situation and our attitude. If we do not follow the conditions, don't blame us for being ruthless!"

Hearing this Guo family say this, Jie Hongfen, Jie Hongying and the others were stunned for a moment, not knowing what to say. Fang Jianlin felt the seriousness of the problem and quickly stepped forward to comfort Guo Qi:

"Guo, please don't worry. Things have not broken down yet! I think this is true: we all urge the government to strive for a proper solution. We can also ask these foreigners to call and write to their consulates and governments, and ask to negotiate with the Chinese government. However, it would be best if we can recommend a representative among our Chinese and foreigners to report and supervise directly to their respective governments."

Guo Qicai thought for a while and said happily:

"Are you a reporter? This "Chinese vote" means that you are the best; that "Chinese vote" means that you should call who is the right one?"

"Although we can't understand his true identity, we seem to have a good status and a sense of responsibility and good at talking. This trip will not be a disgrace to our mission."

Fang Jianlin quickly replied.

"Okay! Let them all draw a telegram and write a letter, and you two will take it to Zaozhuang for a photo, and strive to have a direct conversation with the official.

You ask again to see if they can continue to drag on it!"

"Hey, we'll be in, we represent the lady!"

Seeing that Guo Qi had turned around and was about to leave, Jie Hongfen hurriedly stopped him and said.

Guo Qi was stunned. An elusive smile quickly passed on her face that was a little annoyed just now, and she nodded and said:...

"I'll send you four down the mountain to negotiate, but it's limited to two days to call back and forth, otherwise...

Speaking of this, his face slightly sank, and he said in a slight tone:

"You prepare immediately, and you will hand over all the telegrams and letters to you and send them down the mountain at 9 o'clock."

Fang Jianlin was afraid of a late change, and immediately meant that the other three people promised to come back on time. After hearing this, Guo Qi turned around and left the temple with confidence. But Fang Jianlin was always puzzled: Why did Guo Qi agree to them go down the mountain without thinking, and also bring the Jie sisters who are obviously not very close? Are they not afraid that they will run away together? If this happens, will he dare to tear off all the "meat tickets"?

If this happens, what is the significance of the bandits' action this time? Could it be that he would never care about the consequences and dare to take the blame for the world?

At 9 a.m., Fang Jianlin was carrying a small cloth bag filled with telegrams and letters, and was escorted down the mountain with two gun-carrying minions, along with the British Henry and the Jie sisters.

The scenery of Baodukou is actually very beautiful. Looking around, there are pine trees and bushes that penetrate the sky. They exude a fragrant smell like a thin wine, which is refreshing. On both sides of the mountain road, there are some bright and red, green, bright flowers and plants, and groups of colorful butterflies and bees are constantly flying around. The further down, the fog becomes fainter. The villages at the foot of the mountain, the roads and rivers that are winding like belts are clearly visible; the warm sunshine is generously spread on them, and then a colorful halo is reflected into the fog.

"Hey, hey, hey", the two sisters of Jie were intoxicated by the scenery in front of them. Their lively nature made them shout like silver bells, and echoed in the valley of Baodugu. Fang Jianlin connected this beautiful nature with the people in the "bandit nest" and the "bandit nest" who were forced to take risks and not too bad, so he sighed all the way.

Due to the lack of a large team, the process of going down the mountain is very fast. However, the closer we get to the foot of the mountain, the more you feel the different atmosphere from the time you came. There are large groups of bandits on guard at all intersections, and the people entering and leaving the mountain and sporadic bandits must be interrogated and inspected, and a certificate issued by the parody. Not far from the highway on the mountainside, you can see the Beiyang government's military camps from time to time, and the military flags are flying, which is like a big army's approaching.

Two minions stopped a four-wheeled three-wheeled passenger carriage on the side of the road, paid for Fang Jianlin and the other four, and said goodbye:

"I can only send it here. Then there will be the official troops sent by the central government. They have surrounded us for more than half a month! This avenue leads directly to Zaozhuang. You are "meat tickets" and there are foreigners, so they will not make things difficult for you."

After saying that, he asked the handlebar to drive the carriage.

The scene in front of you and the words of the minions made Fang Jianlin and the others feel that "there are several days in the mountains, and the world has been a thousand years." For this reason, they can't help but sigh along the way.

The horse's hooves were fast, and the huge steamed bun-shaped figure in Baodugu quickly disappeared behind Fang Jianlin and the others. At about two o'clock in the afternoon, a tall and simple city with ancient style was displayed in front of Fang Jianlin and the others. From a distance, he could hear the neighing sound of the train and the bells of the station. Jie Hongying felt unconscious and leaned out from the back row to Fang Jianlin and whispered softly:

"Are we really going back to the mountain after finishing our work?"

"What do you think?"

Fang Jianlin already understood her meaning roughly, but deliberately teased her.

"I think I'll take the opportunity to escape!"

Jie Hongying carefully straightened her body, and shook her long hair and said it was full of energy.

"Bandits do not talk about faith and righteousness, but even if they are untrustworthy, it doesn't matter. Of course, if we go back, we can prevent the "Hua Piao" from being troubled by the bandits, it is also worth it...

But I don’t value us the true intention of the bandits. Instead, they use "foreign votes" as the capital to threaten the government. They don’t care about "foreign votes" more and less. So Henry cannot break his promise, but we can break his promise. Moreover, the government’s usual practice is not to take us ordinary Chinese people seriously. They are still foreigners who are trying their best to rescue them. And foreigners and diplomatic missions and their own governments are concerned about us! Our "foreign votes" must rely on our own efforts to get released. Now that the opportunity has come, why bother going back to join the trap?..."

Xie Hongying's bright black eyes turned and he kept talking a lot of truths, which made his sister laugh. At this time, Fang Jianlin was thinking, this little girl is usually very concerned about state affairs! Is the truth she said right? When Fang Jianlin recommended herself to go down the mountain to serve as a military envoy, these thoughts actually flashed through his mind. However, the temper of the bandits in Baodugu had not yet understood. If the mountain's inseparable friends were implicated because of their escape, it would not be the real man's actions. Fang Jianlin then interrupted the words of understanding Hongying with a smile:

"Okay, okay, who asked you to give a speech? You also do logical dialectical work? Sometimes the difference between people's expectations is more than 100,800 miles away! Let's finish the big thing before you look at it!"

These words were half serious and half teasing, which made Jie Hongying feel embarrassed.

During the conversation, the cart had already sent them to the door of the post office in Zaozhuang City. Fang Jianlin and his party got out of the car and rushed into the post office. According to the content of the telegram and the address on the envelope, they completed the instructions of the refugees one by one. Fang Jianlin was the last step out of the post office, but met a large group of reporters who came from Zao from Shanghai on the street at the door. They had already sent back the letter from Fang Jianlin and had already published it in the letter from Shen Bao. When they learned that he was also one of the "meat tickets" in Lincheng, they were very excited when they saw him and thought he had escaped, so they all congratulated him.

Fang Jianlin hurriedly explained to them the causes and consequences of the trip to jujube, and emphasized that the four of them would return to the mountains. At this time, several reporters shouted loudly, saying that there was no need to talk about etiquette, righteousness, and trustworthiness to the bandits. Jie Hongying, who was speaking next to him, looked proud. Unexpectedly, an older reporter spoke at this time:

"I think Brother Fang still needs to go back to the mountain this time."

"Why? Why?"

Everyone asked in a verbal way.

"Don't be reckless in everything. You must look at the front and take a closer look, weigh the overall situation, act according to the conditions of the person, and act at the camera. Only by knowing yourself and your opponent can you win a hundred battles."

The gentleman pushed tortoiseshell glasses with high myopia on the bridge of his nose, and slowly told everyone the current severe situation.

It turned out that a few days after the carjacking case, Shandong Governor Tanakayu was in charge of Zaozhuang and personally presided over the negotiations with Sun Meiyao. Sun Meiyao was very tough and insisted that the government donate ransom according to the number and level of "meat tickets" they issued; but Tanakayu was not buying it, causing a deadlock. Later, representatives of the chamber of commerce sent by Shanghai and local Teng and gentry representatives from the two counties came to mediate, and Tanakayu was also subject to the central government.

As the pressure from the foreign consul, he proposed to Sun Meiyao to discuss peace and pacify. The person who represented Sun Meiyao was Guo Qicai. Seeing that Tanaka Yu's army surrounded the entire Baodu Gu like an iron barrel, and there were planes hovering on his head to demonstrate, he asked the officers and soldiers to first remove the siege of Baodu Gu, retreat 30 miles away, and then organize the bandits into ** and send them to guns before they can negotiate peace. If the officers and soldiers dare to fire a shot, they will kill a foreigner!

After hearing this, Tanaka Yu patted the table and said furiously: I'm still afraid that you will not succeed? Since that's the case, I'll kill you into a corpse.

When Guo Qi heard this, she turned her back and left. After returning, she tore off two "Huabao" and threatened that if the official did not immediately agree to the request, she would use the "foreign ticket" to start the operation...

When the consuls of various countries in China heard this, they all issued serious warnings to the Beijing government, saying that if there is any accident in the "foreign vote", they will mobilize troops stationed in Beijing and Tianjin to "assist China in handling the matter."

"……………It’s not that everyone didn’t read the newspaper that at that time, the ministers of various countries wanted to ask the president to remove Tanakata from his post for "debt of duty", but at that time the "Lincheng carjacking case" had been handed over to the Ministry of Internal Affairs. The request of the ministers of various countries was directly rejected by General Li. According to General Li, "It’s not their turn to interfere in China. Whether Chinese officials are dereliction of duty or not, the Ministry of Internal Affairs will naturally be investigated and investigated!"…”

"Is this matter handled by the State Council now?"

When Fang Jianlin heard him say this, he was shocked and happy again. If it were really handled by the State Council, it would probably be more secure than the Presidential Office.

"What is the National Affairs Council dealing with? This is not our president who is afraid of causing trouble for himself, so he pushed the matter to the National Affairs Council. Alas, Xiao Li, General Manager'......"

A sigh beside him seemed to be injustice for the country's affairs.

"Now, the State Council has taken over this matter now, but until now, apart from sending a few State Council commissioners, it seems that nothing has been done! The State Council is also difficult for the State Council. The Army Department wants Xiao Li to transfer all his soldiers to Europe. Xiao Li and General Manager have no soldiers available now. How can I calm this matter? I can only use Tanaka Tama............"

"Mr. Kong's words are inappropriate. No news came from Beijing before the Zhou Dynasty. The Ministry of Justice of the State Council established the Central Police General Bureau, which is responsible for coordinating national police and handling emergencies. The Ministry of Internal Affairs has also established an internal affairs force, which is specifically used to assist local governments in maintaining public security and clearing out bandits in various places..."

A reporter wearing glasses and speaking with a Nanjing dialect was all in a spirit when he spoke.

"First of this Central Police General Administration coordinated the national police and the internal affairs forces were engaged in bandit suppression. I dare say that within two years, the Chinese bandit troubles will be eliminated!"

Listening to what they said one news after another, Fang Jianlin's heart only stirred up a wave. He didn't expect that so many things would happen in three weeks, and the changes in things were beyond his imagination.

"Central Police General Office?"

A sneer came from the side.

"What can a police agency with hundreds of people do? Even for the Internal Affairs, you have seen that when the Ministry of Internal Affairs wanted to set up the Internal Affairs Force, why did the Army stand up and oppose it? Isn't it because the President is afraid of Xiao Li - General Manager, and use this to recruit troops?"

"But in the end, didn't the Presidential Office agree to establish an internal affairs force?"

"What about the tax police? The Ministry of Finance has been setting up a tax police for a month or two. Without a tax police, how can I suppress those who sell private salt? Without a tax police, how can I ensure the stability of tax sources? This armed tax resistance is not news. Why did Yuan Shikai agree to establish an internal affairs force? Isn't it still he let the Prime Minister choose the same among these two?"

The cold words were full of dissatisfaction with the Presidential Office. This is the case. No matter what decision is made by the State Council, the State Council often makes it according to actual needs. However, when they make a decision, there is no cooperation at all, and they even keep trying various means to set up obstacles for it.

"If I want to tell me, Xiao Li - General Manager is too ruthless, just like Tanakata, the Prime Minister has saved him, but how could he cooperate with the Prime Minister to deal with this matter? If it were Yuan Shikai, who was disturbed by Yuan Shikai repeatedly, he would have been attacked long ago!"

"Starting troops to attack? Who is suffering? The people are suffering! Xiao Li - General - Why do he just tolerate it? He is not as simple as tolerating it. He can't bear to suffer the people. He takes a step back and broadens the sky, but people always force people too much, it's really..."

As they said that, everyone shook their heads and sighed, but at this time, a few people came over. They were all wearing top hats and black tweed coats. They came over, and one of the leaders looked at everyone expressionlessly, and then said.

"Mr. Fang, right?"

"Who are you……"

This is Fang Jianlin saw that the man showed his ID. The ID was a round copper plate with a shield divided into four zones on it. The upper left is the national flag, the upper right is the plum blossom, the lower left is the black and white opposite colors, and the lower right is the sword and gun. This is the symbol of the Secret Service of the Ministry of Finance.

A few minutes later, an officer in military uniform walked in in a private house in Chengxiao. Fang Jianlin looked up at the commander. His military uniform was not an army uniform, nor a Jiangsu army uniform. He was... At this time, the officer's armband exposed the identity of this person - "Chinese Internal Affairs Force".

The officer of the Ministry of Internal Affairs did not say anything, but opened the folder in his hand, and then spread a few large photos to Fang Jianlin. Looking at the photo, Fang Jianlin was just stunned. This is a photo of the top of Baodukou Mountain. Looking at this photo, the plane flying over Baodukou a few days ago appeared in his mind.

"Mr. Fang, please point out where the hostages are and where the bandits are..."
