Chapter 289 Murderous Case
Hearing this, Chang Yunxian was unhappy. He looked at Chen Xiuqing and said, "Xiuqing, we have to prioritize things. The people are important, but if there is no government, how can the people survive?"
Chang Yunxian's words were somewhat shameless, as if without the Southern Government, these people would be in dire straits.
In the end, Chen Xiuqing was unable to stop the internal decision of the Southern government, and the plan to ask for money from the rich and the common people was still passed.
While the southern government was holding a meeting, Zhang Futing, who had fled back to the north, also received news of the establishment of the People's Government of the Great New Kingdom.
At this time, he still looked unwilling. Although he was defeated this time, he was not discouraged.
Zhang Futing's father left him a huge fortune, so even if an army of 300,000 was defeated, he only brought back tens of thousands of people.
But he was confident that he could restore the military strength to its peak in a short period of time with the help of the 30,000 people he brought back.
Amid the busyness of all parties, the time came to February 2th.
On this day, Peng Yuguo, the Deputy Minister of Finance of the Northern Government, arrived outside the new headquarters of the Dwarf Locust in Qichang City, Qiyuan Province.
When the guard at the door saw Peng Yuguo, he asked unkindly, "Newcomer? What are you doing here?"
However, the man spoke the language of the Small Locust Country, which Peng Yuguo could not understand at all.
"I am Peng Yuguo, the Deputy Minister of Finance of the New Kingdom. I'm here to seek an audience with General Ito of the Dwarf Locust Kingdom. Please inform him." Peng Yuguo said with a smile in the Dragon Kingdom dialect.
The two men also didn't understand what Peng Yuguo was talking about. They just pointed their rifles at him and said, "Judging from your clothes, you must be a rich man. Take out the money and we won't bother you for causing trouble in the headquarters."
The two of them said this just to take advantage of Peng Yuguo for not understanding the dwarf locust language.
During this period of time, the guards outside the headquarters have used this method to rob a lot of money.
When they are having fun, they will even compete with each other in shooting to see who can hit the other more.
Of course, these things were only done against those newcomers who did not understand the language of the dwarf locusts. Now that the dwarf locust country had entered Qiyuan, they did not use the newcomers to do things, and they were not afraid of killing the wrong people.
As for those who really have status and position in Qiyuan, they either understand the Dwarf Locust language themselves or hire some Dwarf Locust translators.
Seeing that there was no way to communicate, Peng Yuguo stood there anxiously, turning around. The followers behind him were also scratching their heads in anxiety, not knowing what to do.
It was also Peng Yuguo's fault that he left in a hurry and did not bring a translator with him. Since Ito Shiwen knew Chinese, he forgot to translate.
Before Peng Yuguo could react, two guards stepped forward, pushed him, and reached into his pocket.
Peng Yuguo was a little confused. He didn't know what these people wanted to do, and subconsciously pushed one of the two guards to the ground.
The guard on the ground was stunned. It was the first time he was pushed to the ground by a newcomer after entering Qiyuan for so long. He was furious.
"idiot."
After the guard stood up from the ground, he pointed the butt of his gun at Peng Yuguo.
Peng Yuguo screamed "Ah" and fell to the ground, covering his forehead with his hands. Blood was flowing from between the fingers of his right hand.
Peng Yuguo felt extremely aggrieved. He didn't expect these little dwarf locusts to be so lawless on the land of the new country. He really didn't know what life would be like for the people of Qiyuan.
Seeing Peng Yuguo being knocked to the ground, the people behind him hurried forward to separate the two.
Upon seeing this, the guard fired a shot at them, hitting one of them in the chest.
"Killed."
Upon seeing this, the remaining followers immediately panicked. Except for two dazed men who still stood there, the remaining five or six men all fled in all directions.
After killing one person, the ferocity of the dwarf locusts was aroused. They fired two more shots at the two people who were standing, killing them as well.
Peng Yuguo on the ground felt even more humiliated when he saw this. This was the land of the New Country, and these little dwarf locusts were too presumptuous.
He shouted: "This is the new country, you..."
"Boom, bang."
As Peng Yuguo was about to get up, two gunshots rang out. He was hit in the forehead and chest and fell to the ground without a sound.
After killing a few people, the two men shot at the five or six people who were fleeing. After knocking down two more people, the rest all fled.
The two guards didn't take it seriously, as they still had to guard the headquarters, so they didn't chase after him.
The few who escaped gathered together and looked at each other, still frightened. One of them asked, "Lord Peng was killed by the Little Locust Country. What should we do?"
"This matter must be reported to the President as soon as possible, otherwise it will be difficult to explain." said another person.
It’s not that this man is smart or has other ideas, but he was also scared and didn’t dare to stay in Qiyuan anymore. All he wanted at this moment was to leave this place as soon as possible.
Hearing this, someone whispered, "Is this a bad thing? Those dwarfs opened fire, but Lord Peng may not be in any danger."
"Besides, Lord Peng was killed, so we still have to bring the body back."
The remaining three people discussed it and decided that they couldn't just go back like that. After asking around, they found out that their situation was very common and they could just go to the police station to claim the body.
In the afternoon, the three men came to the police station, took the body out, and then rushed to the capital without stopping.
Three days later, the three returned to the capital, sent the body back to the Peng family, and told the news to Yuan Yueting, who was furious.
"What do these little locusts want to do?" Yuan Yueting called Yang Fu and asked.
When Yang Fu heard the news, he was also shocked. He asked in a low voice: "Mr. President, is this true or just a rumor?"
"Mr. Peng's body has been sent back, how can it be a rumor?" Yuan Yueting said angrily.
Yuan Yueting still had some courage in his heart, and he immediately ordered, "Let the newspapers publicize this matter. Not only the newspapers in the capital, but also in Donghai need to report it."
"Mr. President, will this affect the government's prestige?" Yang Fu hesitated.
Yuan Yueting sneered, "The little locusts have already bullied us so much, what prestige do we still have?"
Yang Fu had no choice but to do as Yuan Yueting asked.
When the news of the 219 bloody incident spread, there was an uproar in the capital. Although the northern government's reputation was inevitably damaged, it aroused the domestic people's dissatisfaction with the dwarf locusts.
The news also spread in the East China Sea. The East China Sea is a prosperous metropolis, and when the news spread, the dwarf locusts were inevitably affected.
Not only did there appear activities in the East China Sea to boycott goods of the dwarf locust, but there were also incidents of smashing and looting dwarf locust businesses.
It was February 2th when Francis Xavier learned about this.
"These little locusts are really too rampant." Looking at the newspaper, Fang Jian said with a grim expression.
After thinking for a while, Fang Jian said, "Yunong, I remember we still have several hundred dwarf locust captives here."
"Commander, what do you mean?" Tao Yunong didn't know what Fang Jian was going to do by asking this.
Fang Jian sneered and said, "You go and make arrangements. Except for some officials, all other prisoners will be executed."
If possible, Francis wanted to kill them all. But Ito Hideichi was still useful, and Francis also wanted to use the remaining officers to negotiate with the dwarf locust.
