There is a saying among the common people, called 'Yamen, open to the south, you don't come in if you have no money'. Such a simple and straightforward sentence has already pointed out the dark side in the yamen to be transparent; And there is an old saying in the rivers and lakes, called 'If you are born and you can't go to the public, you can't go to hell when you die.' The meaning of this sentence is that as long as you have not been in the officialdom when you are alive; Then after you die, you won't have to suffer from the eighteen layers of hell!

Although this sounds like 'if you can't eat grapes, you say that grapes are sour', but in the final analysis, it also reflects the dark side of the officialdom of the Northern Yan Dynasty. Since the establishment of the Northern Yan Dynasty, it has only been a hundred years; In such a short period of time, it has developed to such a serious level today, and it is not the reason why Emperor Zhou Yuanqing has no way to govern the country and is stupid.

Youbei Third Road is a small household located in a remote area with a sparse population, so it is naturally much easier to govern; However, the Northern Yan Dynasty was prosperous and had a vast territory, so it was naturally impossible to take care of every corner.

In today's Shen Gui case, the methods they used were actually not clever, and they were not at all the 'fraud methods' commonly used by people in officialdom. Speaking of this 'unique skill', we have to mention the 'chief planner' of this unjust, false and wrongful case.

This person is the head catcher of Jinzhou who is in charge of the security and city defense of Julu County - Xue Liu!

As I said before, Cangzhou catches fast and is good at martial arts. Therefore, all border towns and trading cities with a large number of secret spies will choose to recruit these Cangzhou headhunters with exceptionally strong martial arts. These people not only have solid fists and feet, but also have a unique set of trapping and interrogation methods to deal with those hidden spies in the shadows;

And a 'migrant town' like Julu County, where the relationship between forces is complicated and the three religions, nine streams and five directions live together, can only rely on Jinzhou to mediate in it!

Jinzhou is a wharf of water and drought. Where wealth is gathered, it is naturally easy to have disputes, so there are many people in the market, spontaneously forming some civil gangs, entrenched in docks, warehouses and other places where commerce is prosperous and densely populated, and making a career by means of 'guarding' and 'blackmail'. But although they belong to the same gangs in the rivers and lakes, only the gang people in Jinzhou have a very different style of acting from the Cao Gang in Nankang, the pirates in Fujian, and the elders in Sichuan and Shu.

Generally speaking, whenever a gang fights for territory, it will take a simple and direct way of fighting, or each family will send a thug to fight one-on-one, or the two sides will agree on a time and place to fight each other and tear each other apart. Eat with a hard fist, and don't even want to drink soup if your fist is soft. Although this method sounds a little cruel, it also has a taste of happiness and enmity among the children of the rivers and lakes.

But only the gangs in Jinzhou, once the two sides have a dispute, it is not a fist, but the so-called 'guts'! If it is a one-on-one 'fighter', then the two people will agree on a time and place, and under the joint witness of a group of fellow practitioners, you and I will be compared to 'self-harm'! This one stabbed himself in the thigh, and the other immediately cut off a little finger; Then this one has to cut off his ear with his backhand, and the other party has to immediately come and play a 'three knives and six holes'...... Like this kind of fighting, if both sides are 'character names' and 'rivers and lakes', then the final decision is to see which side swallows the last breath first! As the saying goes, death is greater, as long as there is a trouble, then the final result of this competition will come out......

Of course, although it sounds like this competition rule, it is extremely bloody and cruel, but it is really ruthless to the point of 'committing suicide on the spot', and everyone has only heard about it from their predecessors, but no one has seen it with their own eyes! In the final analysis, no matter where the people in the rivers and lakes fight, in fact, the ultimate goal is to survive; To put it more bluntly, it's just for money!

And on the ground in Jinzhou, even if the situation is really serious to the point where the two gangs need to fight a 'big fight', they can't fight at all. Often, the night before the fight with each other, a 'death lot' ceremony will be held within the gang! Any thug who draws a death lot during the ceremony can only sacrifice his life for the benefit of the gang...... Of course, the family in this family is full of people and children, and the food, drink, clothing, birth, death, and burial of the rest of their lives will all be financed by the gang.

As for the unlucky child who drew the death lot, the final destination is that after the two sides get together, he either commits suicide or is 'substituted' by his own brother, and gets the 'final victory' of this battle with the winning rule of 'the dead is greater'.

Although it sounds like a joke, it is also a code of conduct that can continue to this day in the market gangsters of Jinzhou. Because Jinzhou is here, it is only 240 miles away from Yanjing City, the capital of the Northern Yan Dynasty; If you want to eat a stable 'Jianghu rice' at the feet of the Son of Heaven, you can't tolerate emulating those 'remote' gangs and the 'fighting style' of opening and closing.

It is also because of this folk atmosphere of 'being brave and ruthless' that the most prestigious people in the territory of Jinzhou are not the government or squires, but those great martial artists who have been famous in the rivers and lakes for a long time. And this Xue Liuxue of Julu County is the proud protégé of a big martial arts hall in Jinzhou; And the martial arts he is best at are a set of ever-changing seventy-two Tan legs.

However, the head catcher is not a martial artist after all, and what he does on weekdays is also the work of catching thieves and thieves; The level of its own martial arts actually doesn't play much of a role. And this Xue Zhutou's ability, at least more than seventy percent, fell on his thick lips! Often in the impression of the people, they belong to those 'small thin mouths', which are the most eloquent; don't look at this Xue Zhutou with a pair of thick lips, but the pair of fiery eyes and sharp teeth practiced on the streets of Jinzhou are enough for him to walk the rivers and lakes! At the beginning, many fellow disciples in Jinzhou made fun of him: saying that he Xue Liu was originally a thin mouth, but he was too good at speaking, so he grinded a thin pair of lips into a thick layer of cocoons.

Jianghu people are fighting back and forth, but in fact, there are not many times when they really do it, most of them are fighting and reasoning! So even if he has practiced a complete set of seventy-two Tan legs, in the four years that this Xue Zhu has been in office, he has never done anything with anyone! But even so, in the yamen, people are stunned that there is not a single unsolved case!

And today's 'life lawsuit' of Shen Gui is the handiwork of Xue Liuxue to catch the head! The way he took it was the same as the way the Jinmen gangs were fighting: draw a lot to the death! It's just that inside his sticks, all of them are dead lots!

These four rough men who poured blood mold, after being beaten by the 'Heroine Li Fat Ya' and pressed into Julu County by the city gate officials, were directly taken by those people to the station of the 'Huashen Business Group'. And at that time, Xue Da Zhutou in the yamen was 'drinking and catching up' with the steward of the Huashen Business Group.

It is the so-called taking people's money and eliminating disasters for others! In the past three years, the people in the entire Julu County from top to bottom have already been comfortably 'served' by the Huashen Business Group. 'Eating the king's fortune and being loyal to the king', since he has taken the benefits of others, then he naturally has to 'open the door of convenience' for the Huashen business group of others! This kind of thing of 'reciprocating the peach' between officials and businessmen is already strange to Xue Zhutou, who was born in Jinzhou; not to mention that the people of the Huashen business group are not thin on themselves and their brothers, not only will they have a thick 'heart' every New Year's holiday, but they also have a first-class banquet every three or five days; on weekdays, when those businessmen see themselves, they are even more extremely touting their ability to flatter, plus both sides are also 'scene people', what else is 'hard to say'?

Therefore, since three years ago, all the goods transported by Huashen merchants have long been exempted from inspection and inspection; And the business group is also extremely 'sensible', and the commercial tax and land fees paid to the county government every year are also rolling upward, and those suspicions of tax evasion naturally no longer exist.

As soon as he heard that the four private teeth in the business group had a dispute with the three rich children from other places, this Xue Zhutou suddenly had a different kind of thought! The people in the rivers and lakes all pay attention to a 'heart's heart for people's hearts, eight taels for half a catty', and he has been 'worshipped' by other people's 'legitimate businessmen' for many years, and he has not helped others at all;

It just so happens that today is a godsend, how can I do this little case beautifully!

But when he listened to the replies of his subordinates, he knew what Shen Gui's three people were dressed like, and he began to beat a little drum in his heart. If you want to cultivate a 'civil and military' girl's family, the money and power in the family are by no means something you can imagine! As the so-called wealth and wealth, the two are interdependent on each other; Especially since the three of them are still from Yanjing City, if you calculate it like this, it will be even more unfathomable for them!

Therefore, if he Xue Liu wants to turn this small matter into an irrefutable 'iron case', the charge of 'fighting' alone is not enough at all; plus the identities of the other three are mysterious and special, once that Shen Gui is really the heir of a high-ranking official in Beijing, then not only the Huashen Sect is facing a catastrophe, but even the entire team of the entire Julu County will be unlucky together!

Therefore, this Xue Catcher can only make dangerous moves!

When he explained the stakes to the steward, they burst out laughing as soon as they heard the 'idea' he had come up with! Immediately after that, with a casual wave of their hands, two tall and strong men came from outside the courtyard. The two of them didn't say much, and after pulling out the steel knife on their waists, they made two backhand knives, and in the blink of an eye, they ended up kneeling with the four private teeth pleading......

"Xue Zhutou is too worried, but it's just four lives; Isn't it worth buying you a chance to make a difference? ”

The steward didn't look at the four dead corpses on the ground, but instead raised the wine cup towards Xue Liu, and toasted him with a glass of wine with a smile:

"This cup is specially dedicated to Xue Zhutou's thunderous means! For the demeanor of public masters such as you, we will wait and see tomorrow! ”

Xue Zhutou looked at the four dead corpses on the ground, and in addition to being confident, he inexplicably felt a chill from the soles of his feet and rushed straight to the top of his head......
