Big Ear Thief Selling Straw Sandals

Chapter 283 Assassination, Liu Bei’s life is in danger

Gao Zheng had been here when the site of Dongdu West Railway Station was selected for construction. Later, he was busy with the scientific expedition team and did not pay attention to this project.

When everyone boarded the train, they had completely different impressions of the simplicity and simplicity inside the carriage and the outside.

The carriage is spacious and bright, with glass lift windows on both sides, a row of aisles in the middle, and passenger seats on both sides.

At the entrance, there is a retail food cart for passengers to purchase food and beverages during their journey.

Each seat is arranged face to face, with soft cushions and back cushions. The seats are mainly in steady dark colors.

In the middle of the seat is a small table, which can be used to place passengers' daily belongings.There are rows of lights on the roof that will illuminate the interior of the car at night.

On one side at the end of the aisle, there are sinks and toilets; on the other side is a vacant area where large luggage can be stored or left for standing ticket passengers.

The first special train is almost exclusively for invited guests, as well as some security personnel, so standing tickets will naturally not be sold.

When the whistle blows, the train's iron wheels turn slowly and the carriages move forward.

To the surprise of all the passengers, the water glass on the table barely swayed even though the car was moving.

As the train gradually accelerated, the carriage began to shake and make a "crunching" sound.

When the speed increased to thirty miles per hour, some people in the car felt dizzy because it was going too fast and the scenery outside the car was dazzling.

The scenery outside the window is like a moving picture, changing with different scenes every second.

The moment the train started slowly, under the bright sunshine, the endless fields and distant mountains shone like a huge emerald.

The train started, and the rapid change from the noisy train platform to the quiet countryside to the endless fields was a bit overwhelming.

The scene of fast retreat also makes most passengers have more expectations for the scenery ahead.

Some brought their families, and many children experienced this magical vehicle for the first time. They were excited and curious. They touched here and there, looked here and there, and kept asking questions. They were full of curiosity.

Some passengers had taken buses and trams with similar patterns, so they took the opportunity to show off.

For example, what kind of vehicles have I ridden in a long time ago? The differences, features, pros and cons between the vehicles are all described in endless detail, which has attracted many children's questioning and envy.

Fortunately for Chimu Lulu and Gao Zheng, they were sitting in the penultimate carriage.

Behind them are VIP seats, and the tickets are three times the price of ordinary carriages. They are basically prepared for the rich and powerful.

Seeing the two Xia Ga VIPs looking around, Gao Zheng smiled, stood up, and led the two of them into the VIP compartment.

As soon as you enter the VIP carriage, you are greeted by a bright tone. The wallpaper and seats are mainly decorated with gold, red and yellow, which immediately shows your noble and extraordinary temperament.

Even the full-time flight attendants in the carriage were wearing burgundy woolen uniforms, exquisite and small beanies, and corsages on their chests, which made their good looks even more heroic.

In addition, there are two separate sofas on the left and right seats. There are free tea, fruits, pastries, etc. on the coffee table, as well as the day's newspapers.

What Akagi and Lu Lu didn't expect was that the backrest of the VIP seat could be tilted backwards, and passengers could use it as an armchair to rest comfortably and take a nap.

There are [-] seats in the ordinary carriage, but only [-] seats for VIPs. No wonder it costs three times the ticket price.

For Akagi, if he chooses it himself, he will definitely get a VIP seat.

It is not only a status symbol, but it can also be more spacious. The ordinary seats are too cramped and he can't even stretch his legs.

The three of them appeared in the VIP compartment, and Liu Baniu reminded Liu Bei.

Liu Bei glanced at Gao Zheng and others, and waved to them to come over.

There are 30 seats in the VIP area, but there are actually only [-] people, including five or six guards.

Therefore, the guests opposite Liu Bei moved to other seats, while Liu Baniu stood directly.

The three of them sat down, and the flight attendant came over, replaced them with three new cups of tea, and put away the original tea sets.

After the greetings, Liu Bei saw Lu Lu's eyes flashing and asked with a smile: "What do you think about what you two saw and heard?"

Akagi, the elder, spoke first.

"The Prime Minister's words and deeds are all unprecedented, and the Xiagar Federation will not be able to catch up in 100 years."

The people in Huahuaqiao were carrying people, and the nearby distinguished guests showed proud but reserved smiles and nodded in appreciation.

Liu Bei laughed and said: "This is not my credit, it is the result of four years of hard work by the Academy of Sciences, the Ministry of Engineering, the Railway Administration, and the vast number of builders. Without them, I can't even move a single rail."

"Hahaha!"

There was an understanding laugh all around.

Who doesn't know that most of the best talents in the Academy of Sciences are Liu Bei's students and apprentices. The Ministry of Engineering and the Railway Administration are also branches of the Prime Minister's Yamen. The emperor's uncle and the Prime Minister are too humble!

Liu Bei looked around, responded with a smile, and then said to Chimu: "They say that the Xiagar people are real, but you are exaggerating a bit. If you send people to learn, you can start construction in five years at the most, and you can build it in ten years at the latest. Such railways and trains should be better than what we have now. But I still want to thank you for your praise and for setting higher demands on us."

Akagi smiled naively and said that he couldn't, and he could never surpass the big man.

Liu Bei's gaze turned to Lu Lu and asked, "What about you? What do you think?"

Lu Lu opened his mouth and glanced at Gao Zheng again.

Gao Zheng was very depressed. Master asked you, do you want me to fuck you?

"Lu Lu, the prime minister has no taboos and no one who speaks is wrong. Just say whatever you want."

Lu Lu sat up straight, took a deep breath, and said: "I heard that the big man emphasizes that everyone is equal, and we in the Xiagar Federation think so too. But why are the same trains divided into high and low? Does this make people I feel, I feel…”

He still didn't dare to say it in front of Liu Bei.

"Haha!" Liu Bei laughed loudly, nodded constantly, and said, "Yes, you do have a certain depth in your thinking. The concept of VIP carriages and ordinary carriages is my suggestion, but this does not mean unfair and unequal."

What?Doesn’t this represent the gap between rich and poor in social classes?
But Gao Zheng obviously already knew the answer, so he smiled and said nothing, letting Lu Lu do what he wanted.

"why?"

Lu Lu's eyes were bright and bright, like a curious baby.

Liu Bei pointed at the tea cup and asked: "Suppose you and Dean Chimu are in the desert and have not had water for several days. I have one more cup of tea, which is only enough to save one person from the desert. Now I sell this tea, you and Chimu Yuan What should I do if I grow up?”

Akagi said without hesitation: "Of course the one with the highest price will get it."

Liu Bei nodded and said to Lu Lu, who was frowning and thinking, "Do you think we can share this tea equally? Or sell it to the poor?"

Lu Lu stopped talking and opened his mouth again, but was still silent.

Then, he asked: "This condition is too harsh and special."

Liu Bei smiled, but did not scold him, but asked: "For example, you have a sister who is of marriageable age. Now a rich man and a poor man propose marriage at the same time, and you are asked to make a decision. What would you choose? "

Lu Lu's eyes closed, showing an expression of fear and pain.Because, he found that if it were true, he would choose to marry his sister to a rich man, but this ran counter to the concept of struggle he insisted on.

Liu Bei smiled at him, patted the other party's shoulder lightly, and said: "Any fairness must be based on reality. On certain occasions, stressing on sharing the tea equally may lead to misfortune for both parties. However, you are still young, so add more With social experience and reading more about history, you will grow and make choices that are in line with your heart and ideals."

Seeing the master holding up the tea cup, Gao Zheng understood the meaning and took the two Xia Ga distinguished guests back to his seat in the ordinary carriage.

On the way, we stopped at Xuan Xiao Station for a quarter of an hour's rest so that the station staff could add water and coal to the steam engine, and the passengers could get down to the platform to get some fresh air.

In the sixth carriage, Liu Bian also felt that he needed to go to the platform to get some fresh air, so he followed Liu Bei and others to the platform.

"Uncle Emperor, when will your airplane be built? It is said that it can fly thousands of miles in a day?"

Liu Bei smiled and said: "Your Highness, you are asking an old minister, but according to the prediction of the Academy of Sciences, a four-stroke internal combustion engine will be built in more than a year. By then, the aircraft will be in the sky just around the corner."

Liu Bian suffered disastrous defeats in all his actions or plans against Liu Bei. Therefore, after experiencing the emperor's defeat again, he simply gave up and reached a reconciliation with his uncle.

"Hey, I don't care when it's built, but I have to test fly the first prototype myself."

Liu Bei smiled and said: "Your Highness, Zongzheng Temple has rules. You cannot fly a plane to the sky without permission."

Liu Bian immediately became furious and pointed at Liu Bei and said: "Zongzheng simply has nothing to do and has nothing to do. He stares at us trash all day long. Let's just talk about it last time... Hey, hey, behind you..."

"Bah, bah!"

Liu Bei only felt that his back was hit twice, and then he watched a cloud of blood burst out from Liu Bian's shoulder, and then the earth slowly moved closer to him.

In the last stage of consciousness, he vaguely heard the sound of Spring Festival firecrackers.

"Escort!"

"Fight back! Don't let him escape..."

"There's another one here, come quickly..."

"Boom! Boom!"

Liu Baniu had pushed his master away almost as soon as the gunshot rang out, but he was still half a beat too late.

The killer fired three shots, all of which hit the target. The two most distinguished passengers on the Jiazi train were injured almost at the same time.

Liu Bian suffered a penetrating injury. One hit Liu Bei's buttocks, and the other hit his lungs. The latter's injury was extremely serious.

What's even worse is that there were three killers in total, and the gunman was wounded and captured alive by the guards.

The other two dead soldiers fired the grenades in their arms and were blown to pieces on the spot, causing serious injuries to more than ten passengers on the platform.

A major attack occurred, and the Prime Minister and His Royal Highness the Prince were injured, which shocked the leaders of the Public Security Bureau and the Imperial Guard.

He was accompanied by a doctor, Li Dangzhi, a disciple of the miracle doctor, who was well-known as the Hand of the Shell God in Dongdu.

When Li Dangzhi saw Liu Bei's injuries, he was secretly shocked.

The gunshot wound to the back was either a minor penetrating injury to the flesh, or the most deadly ammunition was inside the body.

The operation must be carried out as soon as possible, otherwise, the Prime Minister of Han Dynasty will definitely be doomed.

He ordered his assistant to carry Liu Bei into the small station office, clean his hands with the alcohol in the first aid kit, and take out the scalpel.

Li Dangzhi stabbed the knife steadily and instantly opened the wound on the Prime Minister's back, then peeled away the flesh and rummaged through the lungs.

Liu Baniu stood aside blankly, looking at the pale lord, and he didn't know how many times he had scolded him.

Are you a pig?

Why stand between the prince and the lord, why not stand behind the lord?

Why didn't the suspicious water deliveryman be discovered earlier, and why didn't we take action faster?
He was ready for martyrdom and showed the calmness of death.

But Li Dangzhi's fame is by no means a waste. In the past five years, he has studied surgery with Master Hua Tuo, and now he is better than his best.

Even Hua Tuo said: "Li Dangzhi is a well-deserved surgical god. He could not have been more of a teacher!"

After more than an hour of rescue and four bags of blood transfusion, Li Dangzhi finally sutured and tied the wound.

"As usual, pay attention to replenishing normal saline and glucose water. If there is any abnormality, call me at any time!"

After saying that, Li Dangzhi fell to the ground as if exhausted.

It is one thing to have superb medical skills, but it is another thing to provide first aid to the Prime Minister. The pressure involved is difficult for outsiders to understand.

Liu Bingkun slapped himself hard, and then interrogated the killer non-stop about the truth behind the scenes.

"Who are you? Who sent you here? It's impossible to survive, but I can guarantee that your family will not be implicated."

After being tortured in all kinds of ways until dark, the killer finally couldn't stand it anymore and collapsed.

He told the truth that he received an assassination mission from the Dongdu Dark Market, so he set up an ambush here in advance.

Because they understood the security system, they arrived three days in advance, so the security personnel who arrived yesterday morning found nothing unusual.

"Dark market? Okay, great!"

Sun Xia usually does not go out on missions, but his lord was assassinated. After receiving the call, he rushed to Liuxuan station as soon as possible.

He gritted his teeth and said: "This is not an isolated incident, this is a conspiracy! I will go back right away!"

The news that the Jiazi train was ambushed at Liuxuan Station, causing many people to be seriously injured, quickly spread throughout Dongdu.

Liu Bian's wounds had been treated. Before leaving, he visited the unconscious emperor's uncle, his eyes flashed, and finally turned around and left.

The train could no longer be put into trial operation. The next day, a large number of professional police officers from the Public Security Bureau arrived and searched every inch of the land inside and outside the station to collect all suspicious items.

At the same time, a "Lightning Security Operation" was launched in Dongdu. The target was the "dark market" underground in Dongdu. It was jointly executed by the Public Security Bureau and Jin Yiwei.

Thousands of special service personnel were divided into dozens of teams, armed with machine guns and semi-automatic firepower, and penetrated the huge sewer network in Dongdu, clearing them area by area, killing those who resisted.

On the first day, hundreds of people were killed and thousands captured.

It lasted for three days, and the dark market was wiped out.

According to well-informed sources, the special service used hundreds of thousands of rounds of ammunition on the first day, as well as a large number of grenades and explosives. The scene was filled with blood and mountains of corpses, and it was too horrible to look at.

His Royal Highness Prince Liu Bian attended the press conference wearing a bandage and told reporters what happened at that time (a version that was edited and edited by Xi Zhicai).

He claimed that this was another proof of the so-called despicable terrorist attacks by a small group of hostile forces that killed innocent civilians. The Han people would not compromise with the terrorists. The lightning operation of the Public Security Bureau was very effective and greatly dealt a blow to the saboteurs. Having frightened the hostile forces, the final victory will surely belong to the Han Dynasty and the people!

In fact, the reporters had already known the general situation, but His Highness Prince Liu Bian was an eyewitness after all, and he was also the closest witness to Prime Minister Liu Bei. Therefore, they immediately asked about the Prime Minister's injury.
