    Amidst the laughter, Qi Boyan stood up in the first row, still wearing his uniform. He glanced at Tan Tongen in the aisle with a wicked smile, and staggered towards the stage. Only then did he think of the handle.  The wine bottle inside was stuffed into his trouser pocket.

    Seeing that it was him, the Qilihe officials sitting in a row on the rostrum wrinkled their noses as if they had seen shit; but they all turned their heads or lowered their heads to avoid making eye contact with him, like an arrogant skunk.  When he came over, even the tiger and the lion turned their heads and pretended not to see it. If you made eye contact with him, you might get sprayed on your face, but you still wouldn't be able to do anything!

    He had only been parachuted into Qilihe for a few days, and the officials in Qilihe wanted to light him up. Of course, we are all Christians, so we couldn't murder him, let alone his colleagues; but if the remnants of the Manchu Qing Dynasty lighted him up, everyone would  After praying for him and crying for him, I will definitely open a drink when I get home: of course it is not to celebrate the sudden death of a colleague, but because I suddenly feel better.

    Because not to mention petty officials and petty officials, any talented person who has passed the imperial examination in the country may be humiliated and unable to fight back when they encounter him. If you dare to fight back, you will not be as eloquent and knowledgeable as this guy. You can only be dumbfounded and humiliate yourself; and  He is still Catholic!  A quarter of the Catholic Party members in the inner court!  minority!  In the face of Protestantism, stick together!

    Who said that this bastard¡¯s academic qualifications and social circles are too good?  And he works very well.

    I saw Qi Boyan staggering onto the podium, rudely pushing away the stunned Kui Shengyuan, and then making a French-style bow with his left chest held on to the mayor and deputy mayor who were sitting on the podium and about to stand up with a playful smile.  He smiled and said: "Two adults. I am humble enough to say a few words, hey, just two words! Sit down, sit down, hey!"

    Then he turned around to face everyone and said to himself in a low voice: "I have long wanted to preach on the Protestant stage to save you fools." Then he lowered his head and stared at Tan Tongen in the audience, and clicked with a sly smile.  Nodding, he raised his voice and said, "Pastor Tan, your question is very good, but I want to tell a story here."

    "Sir, I'm asking Mr. Kui about their handling. It has nothing to do with your Health Bureau." Tan Tongen spread his hands in confusion.

    "I won't talk to you about hygiene. What I want to talk about is your problem. Please listen carefully." Then Qi Boyan spread his hands in front of everyone.  He shouted: "Please also pay attention and listen!"

    "When I was studying in France, I met a millionaire: Mr. Francois;

    He is a very devout Catholic.  Although he is worth millions and lives in a mansion, he is always extremely concerned about the suffering in the surrounding neighborhoods, and is extremely worried and painful about it:

    The cries of the abandoned babies in the orphanage made him sleepless;

    The drunkenness and misery of the homeless man under the bridge made him hungry;

    The prostitutes wandering the streets at night made him cry;

    The hardship of workers working for brown bread for 16 hours made him sad;

    The old woman in the shelter who sewed clothes day and night for her old age made him even more heartbroken and blamed herself;

    Finally one day.  He could no longer bear the torture of conscience: he sold his factory, gold and silver jewelry, horses and luxury cars, and even his mansion, and then distributed all the money to the surrounding people.  poor.

    In the end, he lived in a bridge hole with nothing and became a homeless man.  "

    After saying this, Qi Boyan shut up and paced on the pulpit. There was silence on and off the stage. All eyes were fixed on Qi Boyan with a solemn face, because he was telling the story of a saint.

    But seeing that he didn¡¯t speak for a long time, Tan Tongen in the audience couldn¡¯t help but be curious, and asked himself: "Did Mr. Francois change the suffering of the surrounding neighborhoods?"

    As if waiting for him to ask this question, Qi Boyan suddenly stopped, turned to look at Tan Tongen and smiled: "Although Mr. Francois has dedicated everything, the world is still the same!"

    After that, he pointed at Tan Tongen and said: "Don't regard yourself as a god. You have to save everyone's suffering. This is something we can't do. If anyone can do it, or even any group or country can do it, then we  Why else do we need the coming of Jesus Christ?¡±

    "This world has been like this for thousands of years, with constant suffering. The Bible says: The blood and tears of the Jews have fertilized the deserts of the Middle East; but aren't we Han people? In prosperity, the people suffer; in death, the people also suffer!

    ¡®Revelation 7:17 For the Lamb in the throne will shepherd them and lead them to springs of water of life; and God will wipe away every tear from their eyes.  ¡¯ This shows that the world will not be destroyed and tears will not stop.  "

    Tan Tongen did not expect that the other party was going to preach to him and was stunned, but the onlookers behind him were not stunned. Someone in the standing crowd immediately shouted: "The Health Bureau has no good things! If hygiene is not destroyed, tears will not stop!"  "

    The crowd was stunned for a moment, and then??There is no clean water, lack of security, education, and medical care here, and plagues often occur because the population is concentrated. In fact, if they were spread out, it would not be a dream for you to live a long life, and the children would live a better life, and the family would be full of descendants!  "The mayor finally stood up and spoke in favor of Qi Boyan, because he found that Qi Boyan's words were unpleasant. Although his reasoning was good, he didn't know how to flatter horses and flatter people. If he continued to speak, he might be beaten to death by random punches.  It's also possible; it doesn't matter if he dies, but officials like him are still here, so we can't let the fire at the city gate affect Chiyu.

    Li Jinren, who was sitting in the front, also stood up and helped. He waved to the crowd behind and said, "Oh, don't be anxious, everyone. To build the town, everyone will definitely need to move away temporarily. No one can sleep on the construction site.  . But as long as they are in our factory area, we will provide accommodation, don't worry. Everyone should think about it, if this place is still dirty and messy, the factory may also move, and then everyone will be in trouble. This place is because of us  It just developed"

    But a dark shadow stood up in front of him. It was a man sitting two rows behind him who stood up and was almost face to face with him.

    He was a tall middle-aged man with dark skin, tall build, square face, thick lips and curly hair. He was wearing a silk jacket and trousers. As soon as he stood up, Li Jinren was stunned, as if he had seen a ghost during the day.  He shut up before he finished speaking, and there was a buzz in the crowd standing behind, and then it suddenly became silent.

    I just heard him preaching in weird Chinese:

    "You have to think clearly, Shili Gou has grown big enough. There are only about 100 people working in the factory. What are the other people doing? Are they waiting to die? No! They are doing catering, making reed mats, water delivery workers, and domestic servants.  People, businessmen, tailors, coolies, everyone in Shiligou has something to do. Now Shiligou is a big living person, it can support itself

    Remember, it is the factory that needs Shili Gou, not the factory that Shili Gou needs!  "

    After he finished speaking, the whole audience was silent, as if they were afraid of his momentum.

    Fang Bingsheng ran to the row of Wang Xintai, bent down and asked: "Elder Wang, who is this person? I have never seen him before."

    "He? Ruan Lusan, the boss of the Annan Gang." Wang Xintai replied nervously in a low voice.  (To be continued)
