Chapter 172

West Kowloon Headquarters, Traffic Department.

"Chan Ka-kui!"

"Sir!"

The Traffic Department chief called the big-nosed Chan Ka-kui into his office.

"Although you have just been transferred to our traffic group, you still need to participate in tomorrow's mission."

That's right, Chan Ka-kui caused trouble again.

In order to chase a criminal, he drove and crashed into seven or eight cars in a row; the criminal wasn't caught, but he was caught by a group of angry citizens.

If it weren't for Uncle Biu protecting him, he would probably have had his police cap taken off.

However, he was demoted to the traffic group again, again, and again.

Traffic Group Chief: "............"

This kind of scourge, don't come over!!

The chief said seriously: "Tomorrow, a knowledge competition exam is going to be held in Wanchai. At that time, there will be many people there. The Police Headquarters has issued a notice, and all districts need to draw personnel to go over to maintain order."

"Therefore, you will go over together tomorrow to execute the mission of maintaining order."

Chan Ka-kui saluted: "Yes sir!"

This scene not only happened at the West Kowloon Headquarters, but also at other headquarters.

Tomorrow, Southeast Middle School, and even the surrounding streets, will inevitably become a disaster area of traffic congestion.

Therefore, as early as half a month ago, as the person in charge of this charity activity, he had already applied to the Police Headquarters in advance, and tomorrow a large number of PTU, traffic police, and other police officers would be dispatched from all over Hong Kong to come here to patrol and maintain order.

Evening.

Lung Mun Restaurant.

"So, now because of the game between the two sides, they are keeping a particularly close eye on this election?"

"Yes."

Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu and Situ Jie were eating at the hotel, chatting while eating.

Situ Jie told Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu some hints he got from the vice-chairman of the election committee.

"According to his original words: 'Our superiors absolutely do not allow any unexpected factors to join'."

"In other words, I have no way to join this Legislative Council game as an independent?"

"Yes, he said that although he wants to earn this money, he can't earn it; it's a pity."

"He doesn't even want to earn the money? It seems what he said should be true."

Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu was silent for a moment; it seems his district councilor election last time was still a bit too flashy, causing vigilance among those people.

However, the district councilor is very important, and at that time, he didn't know about the direct election of legislative councilors, so naturally, it was impossible to give up the district councilor election.

"He said, if you want to run for councilor, you can only choose one of two, choosing one of the sides."

"Choose one of two?"

Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu pondered.

Actually, Situ Jie had already felt Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu's rejection of the British dog faction, and likely felt that Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu might want to defect to the Leftist faction.

But this is normal; in the short term, defecting to the British dog faction has many benefits, but after '97, they will have to settle the score one by one.

As for Situ Jie himself, don't look at how close he is to the ghosts, but it's all hypocritical interaction. When it really comes to the critical moment, he will still choose the North, then take the opportunity to fiercely put on a show, break with the British dogs, show loyalty to the North, and then wait to be reused after '97.

This is not about whether he is patriotic or not, but a choice of interests.

Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu looked at Situ Jie: "How much money did you spend this time?"

Situ Jie said sincerely: "Three questions, a total of 250,000."

Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu was happy and exhorted: "This person is not bad, takes money and gets things done; contact him more in the future."

Then, from his pocket, he took out a 500,000 Jockey Club winning ticket and pushed it in front of Situ Jie.

"Thank you, Brother Zu!"

Situ Jie happily accepted it.

In one day, earned 250,000!

Brother Zu is generous!

A new day,

the "Wanchai Knowledge Cup" exam held by Southeast Middle School officially began today.

Police officers from police stations in all districts of Hong Kong were dispatched to Southeast Middle School and nearby streets, dividing into zones to maintain order.

Many of these police officers from other districts were relatively unfamiliar with Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu; after arriving at the scene,

they were stunned by the flow of people at the scene.

"So many people!"

"My god!"

That street of Southeast Middle School, and the surrounding streets, were all densely packed with people.

The entire Wanchai has a population of 170,000, and it happened to be Sunday rest time today, so many people ran over to watch the fun. After all, for Wanchai people, this counts as their own big activity, and there is a sense of pride.

Therefore, 170,000 people, dragging their families along to watch the fun, at least 60,000 to 70,000 people came here, naturally blocking the nearby streets tightly.

In addition, many citizens from other regions also ran over.

One by one, full of confidence!

All came for the honor of "Sky List Expert".

Across all of Hong Kong's 7 million people, there are only 100!

How awesome it is to say it out!

"What 'Five Thousand Years of History', with my understanding of history, I can definitely get into the top 100!"

"I am well-versed in history, the top 10 is within my grasp!"

"Sky List Expert, I'm coming!"

Chan Ka-kui, while bitterly preventing vehicles from entering the controlled streets, wiped his sweat and complained:

"Are they crazy? So many people still coming?"

"Still shouting about some Sky List Expert!"

The police officer beside him also couldn't help but complain,

"This Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu is clearly a gangster; shouldn't he be collecting protection money and fighting? Why is he organizing whole-population reading?"

"That's right, organizing such a big thing, and in the end, we still have to work hard to help him!"

"Simply outrageous!"

They are from "out of town", naturally not used to being police officers, the embodiment of justice, and still having to help a gangster do things.

Truly unbearable!!

On the contrary, the police officers from Wanchai and Hong Kong Island districts were all accustomed to it.

Especially the Wanchai district police officers, they also belong to the population covered by the "35% approval rating" and are relatively supportive of "Brother Zu".

Helping Brother Zu do things is police-civilian cooperation!

And in the hustle and bustle, Lu Jiayao and Huang Guanhua, who had arrived early at the school gate, quickly answered the 5 simplest questions at the school gate, for example: What is the chronological order of Qin Shi Huang and Liu Bang? For example, "Which historical figure is the idiom 'sleeping on brushwood and tasting gall' related to?"...

After answering the questions, they passed smoothly, entered the school, and arrived at the exam room.

The exam was held once an hour, each time using a different set of questions.

Coincidentally, Lu Jiayao and Huang Guanhua were at adjacent tables; the two opened the papers, which were all multiple-choice questions, and there was a colored answer card (for easy grading).

From easy to difficult...

At the beginning, it was similar to "Li Shimin was the emperor of which dynasty"...

Finally, the difficulty of the questions had become: Which of the following is not an emperor of the Ming Dynasty: a. Ming Taizong b. Ming Chengzu c. Ming Xuanzong d. Ming Yingzong.

Noon,

Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu was on the roof of Southeast Middle School, looking at the densely packed flow of people outside the street, and couldn't help but be speechless.

"Didn't expect there to be so many people..."

"Sky List Expert, terrifyingly powerful!"

Ding...

At this moment, beside Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu, a system prompt came.

"You organized a cultural activity with huge influence regarding national history, the 'Wanchai Knowledge Cup', triggering the attention of all of Hong Kong, making Wanchai citizens develop a sense of pride and identity."

"You obtained Wanchai approval rating +1% (total 36%), and it will continue to increase subsequently..."

"You obtained North's approval rating +1%..."

At this moment,

New Territories North, Mao Xiang Yang was sitting in a car, heading toward Wanchai.

Yesterday and today, he had been paying attention to Wanchai's "Knowledge Cup", so early this morning, he rushed over quickly.

On the car radio, it was playing:

"Dear listeners and friends, please note that today, due to the 'Wanchai Knowledge Cup' activity held by Southeast Middle School in the Wanchai area, it has attracted at least 100,000 citizens to participate and watch the fun, leading to abnormal traffic congestion in the area."

"Currently, Wanchai and the surrounding streets have dense crowds, and vehicle traffic is slow. Drivers planning to pass through Wanchai, please plan your routes in advance to avoid inconvenience caused by traffic congestion." "In addition, the traffic department appeals..."

The driver looked at Mao Xiang Yang through the rearview mirror: "This passenger, you also see, there are many people in Wanchai now, are you sure you still want to go?"

Mao Xiang Yang: "Sure."

Mao Xiang Yang asked curiously: "Driver, are you familiar with Wanchai?"

Driver: "It's alright, running a taxi, I definitely run everywhere."

Mao Xiang Yang: "Then you should have heard of Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu of Wanchai, right?"

Driver laughed: "We who run cars basically all know him; in Causeway Bay, his prestige is unrivaled, and in Wanchai, it's not much different. Among the Wanchai citizens I have carried, most of them praise him endlessly."

Mao Xiang Yang couldn't help but ask: "Can you introduce him to me?"

Driver nodded: "Naturally I can... but what I know is quite one-sided, just listen."

"Initially, Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu was just a gangster in the Hung Hing triad; from his teens, he followed his boss, Tai Lo B. Starting the year before last, he constantly did good deeds, such as helping grandmas and grandpas cross the road, letting his subordinates go to elderly people's homes to cook and clean, donating money..."

"Later, he became the leader of Causeway Bay, and the things he did became bigger and bigger, such as orphanages, schools, extracurricular tutoring schools, charity foundations, and now the Knowledge Cup..."

!.

"The most powerful thing is, he, a gangster, actually became a district councilor, and the number of votes was over 10,000, while councilors in other districts only had over 1,000 votes..."

"There is another more powerful one; last time there was a big fire on Shantou Street in Wanchai, the cause was the cable bridge catching fire, thousands of citizens were protesting downstairs of the power company, and in the end, thousands of people recommended Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu to preside over justice for them, negotiating with the tycoon Li... one can see the terror of his prestige."

In the driver's narration, Mao Xiang Yang finally had a clear understanding of Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu.

An image of someone who likes doing good deeds and presiding over justice for the masses emerged on paper.

And he is also a gangster from the triad!

If it were before, Mao Xiang Yang might have killed him with one stick, feeling that there is no good thing about gangsters.

But now, he wouldn't be so arbitrary.

While chatting,

the driver suddenly asked curiously: "You wouldn't be going to participate in the competition, would you?"

Mao Xiang Yang smiled slightly: "It's not impossible."

Don't let Mao Xiang Yang's appearance fool you; he was born into a scholarly family, a cultured person, and also has some research on history.

This time, not only did he want to see that Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu, but he also wanted to go deep into the masses, to experience, to feel, and he would absolutely not miss the Knowledge Cup.

Driver curious: "Sir, have you read 'Five Thousand Years of History'?"

Mao Xiang Yang: "No."

Driver: "Then it's useless for you to go; if you haven't read this book, how can you take the exam."

Mao Xiang Yang: "No need, I am quite familiar with history?"

Upon hearing this, the driver's attitude immediately became more respectful: "It seems that sir's family must be well-off."

Mao Xiang Yang was surprised: "Why do you say that."

Driver smiled: "What is taught in schools now doesn't have much Chinese history; most of it is foreign history. If it weren't for a good family background, how could there be Chinese history books to read?"

Mao Xiang Yang was shocked!

There is such a thing?

To be honest, Mao Xiang Yang didn't notice this at all before.

His brow immediately frowned.

Angry: British imperialism, their heart to destroy us does not die!

Soon,

Mao Xiang Yang arrived at Lockhart Road, where traffic had already started to jam.

Taxi driver: "Sir, why don't you just walk over; if my car goes in later, I'm afraid it won't be able to come out."

Mao Xiang Yang: "Alright... thank you!"

Driver: "You're welcome."

Paid, got out of the car.

He had been on this road last time, going to the Police Headquarters (Police Force), but he hadn't walked it carefully, so he could only ask for directions.

Soon, he found a "volunteer" wearing a red armband on the side of the road.

This volunteer was an elderly person, over fifty years old, but healthy and ruddy-faced.

"Excuse me, how do I get to Southeast Middle School?"

The elderly volunteer was very enthusiastic: "Walk this way, just follow the flow of people."

Mao Xiang Yang asked curiously: "You volunteers, are you paid, or are you voluntary and unpaid?"

The elderly volunteer laughed: "Brother Zu called for help, of course we are voluntary; where is the need for Brother Zu to pay wages... Brother Zu has helped us so much, how could we be embarrassed to ask for money for helping out."

Mao Xiang Yang looked at the elderly person's full smile and couldn't help but think of 2 words:

Those who follow the Dao have much help!

The hearts of the people can be used!

This is what "going deep into the masses" is!

Didn't expect that such a thing, those people in the New Territories didn't do it, but instead, a gangster in Wanchai did it.

Mao Xiang Yang carried surprise and moved forward all the way.

Sure enough, when approaching a street of Southeast Middle School, the front was already bustling, and people started queuing to move forward.

Mao Xiang Yang heard quite a few "So many people", "Let's go", "No, I have to try no matter what; if I can get into the top 100, I'll be published in the newspaper!", "Sky List Expert, I'm coming"!

Someone was holding a loudspeaker, constantly patrolling and shouting.

"Everyone pay attention, everyone pay attention, queue up in an orderly manner, don't squeeze..."

"Beware of pickpockets..."

Not long after,

"Selling books, selling books..."

"'Five Thousand Years of History', official price, 20 Hong Kong dollars a copy..."

Someone was squeezing through the crowd, going against the flow, taking the opportunity to sell books.

Mao Xiang Yang had never heard of this book before, and subconsciously curious:

"Give me a copy."

Bought it.

Then opened it and read it quickly.

Soon, Mao Xiang Yang was surprised.

This book is quite interesting.

The whole book, the text is relatively concise and fluent.

And the author is also a bit clever, choosing important and famous characters and events, organizing and tailoring them according to historical materials, and writing them out in popular modern language.

And, the plot is compact, showing the major events of the changing winds and clouds in Chinese history through small stories one by one.

Mao Xiang Yang became more shocked the more he read!

"This book is a bit outrageous!"

Queuing for over an hour, he went deep into the masses and witnessed quite a few people and things.

For example...

A disturbance appeared somewhere,

"Good, dare to steal things here?"

"Damn it, do you know this is Brother Zu's territory?"

"Which triad are you from?"

"Take me to the police station, and also, notify your boss to come and apologize and compensate!"

It turned out that a pickpocket was taking advantage of the crowd to steal, but was caught red-handed by Hung Hing's people.

Mao Xiang Yang soon saw a big-nosed traffic policeman, twisting that pickpocket, and escorting him away with an excited face.

Soon,

Mao Xiang Yang finally arrived at the gate of Southeast Middle School.

"I'll try too!"

Mao Xiang Yang has research on history, so he rubbed his hands, ready to try.

At the school gate, he answered 5 questions correctly, then entered the school, waited for 30 minutes for the exam to start, and relying on his deep historical foundation, although he hadn't read "Five Thousand Years of History", he still did quite a few questions.

After the exam ended, after coming out,

he found a hotel to stay in and took out a few sheets of paper.

Writing a letter!

He wanted to write a letter back to tell the leaders at home about the things here in Wanchai.

Whether it was Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu or "Five Thousand Years of History", they were all worth him writing a letter.

"

xxxx:

I am reporting to you here about a remarkable event that recently occurred in the Wanchai area of Hong Kong Island. This is not only a grand occasion of a cultural activity, but also a popularization of national history for Hong Kong Island citizens, and even more a display of anti-imperialism and gathering the hearts of the people, which makes me feel deeply shocked, and I think it is necessary to describe it to you in detail.

Only one update today (2 family banquets, time-consuming and labor-intensive), one update owed, I will make it up.

Written at 3 AM, discovered a terrifying thing: I don't know if it's an eye problem, or a computer screen problem, the words on the right side of the screen are relatively faint. (If it's an eye problem, I'm done for; if it's a screen problem, it needs to be sent for repair (there is still one month left of the warranty period, bought it on my birthday))
