Chapter 53: The lesser of two evils
As the saying goes, if there is food at home, don't panic, Yao Cuo, Lu Haikong, and Xingyunfeng have silver tickets in their hands, and they are as stable as Mount Tai. is saying that the team is easy to lead, and the wolf cubs under his command will change their past mistakes and break away from the gang organization when they see the wind making the rudder. The security of the Jingshi will have a new look, and those places that are inferior to the ninth rank will send filial piety to the door.
Li Guolou listened for a while and asked, "Big brother, will those who break away from the gang be killed?" Who will take the Hokage's case? ”
Yao Cuo shook his head and said: "Ah, Daddy likes to take on this kind of case with no head and no end, he doesn't want to rise anyway, and he is not afraid of more lice." Don't you like cold cases? There are hundreds of unsolved cases with Daddy, and you can learn more scriptures from him in the future. ”
Xing Yunfeng smiled and said, "Third brother, most of those gang members who are hiding in the yamen are people of the junior generation. Young people like mysterious and dark things. They are not big brother-level people and will not be stabbed and stabbed. In the future, at most, they will not be allowed to have conflicts with the original gang, and they will stay in a different place. Killing people is something that only a bastard like the Hokage can do. Don't you like to look at cases? Let me tell you, you can't see the fame of the second brother. In order to make a good deal, if there are doubts and unclear points, they are not written in the file. Let the cases seen above be clear and will not be inconsistent. If you want to find clues from the text, this case has been solved. If you want to learn to solve a case, you can only ask the person who handled the case, and I will take you with me in the future, I have many case notes, you can study it well. ”
"Good!" Li Guolou replied with a smile, with the old-timers, he can learn the whole process of solving the case.
Li Guolou thought to himself: Xing Yunfeng is still very serious and responsible for solving the case, and writes the details of the case by himself. It seems that this is very important, and he will also write down the process of solving the case bit by bit in the future, people's minds will forget things, and only by writing it down can they learn from the past and analyze the first-hand information they have well.
Lu Haikong raised his voice and said: "Second brother likes to talk on paper, do you understand?" The people above will only use their power to oppress people, so they will find out that if they catch a murderer, they can solve several cases. It seems that murderers are all serial killers, and they can't do murder without committing a few cases. Who doesn't want to become a master of solving crimes and be praised by the people, but the case is not something that you will see with your own eyes. We are also forced to be helpless in this kind of thing, and you will get used to it in the future. Those gangsters kill people, and there are eyewitnesses, and they don't dare to say it, we can't break it. I have many disappearances reported by my family, and they have disappeared for more than ten years, and my family members still come to ask about the situation, and I can't bear to see those people. After speaking, Lu Haikong let out a long sigh.
Xingyunfeng sighed: "The rivers and lakes already know who did it, but we can't do anything." ”
Yao Cuo said viciously: "This situation must not happen in the future, who dares to do such a thing, kill him, and make him the object of disappearance." ”
Li Guolou saw these brothers clearly, they actually wanted to do a good job of law and order in Beijing, and no one wanted to see indiscriminate killings outside. Taiping charges some protection money, which is the ideal situation. They also hate the gangsters, although they usually do not receive less benefits from the gangs, but when they think of receiving all the benefits and territory, they immediately become the gravediggers of the gangs.
Li Guolou asked: "Daddy, what cases occur most frequently in Jingshi now?" ”
Xingyunfeng said: "Of course it's a theft, and now the theft is a collective crime." If you see a begging child, a merchant, or a fortune teller coming to your door, it is very likely that he is a fellow thief, and these people will stand up and get a general idea of what is going on in your house, and then you will be unlucky, the dog will be poisoned, and the valuable things in the house will disappear. But they don't hurt people, they know the difference between theft and wounding, and they won't do big cases. ”
Li Guolou asked again: "Whose subordinates are in this business, so arrogant?" ”
Xingyunfeng said: "It is said that it is Liu Banxian's subordinates, but there are many people to feed, how can the eldest brother above stop the people below from working." So as long as we don't keep an eye on it from above, we can't cut off people's lives. ”
Li Guolou scratched his ears and cheeks, but he didn't understand Xing Yunfeng's words.
Yao Cuo saw it and smiled: "This is a loose organization, Liu Banxian is the leader of the beggar gang, it is impossible to catch all the thieves, there are always people who take risks." There is a big brother, we can still inquire about some situations, and if Liu Banxian is really arrested, the Jingshi will have no rules, and we will all become blind. ”
Li Guolou smiled slightly, and understood that Liu Banxian was the person hidden in the beggar gang by the government, but he was a powerful person, and he had already achieved the position of the helper. The government turned a blind eye, caught some thieves, and allowed some thieves to commit crimes, this is a gang that cannot be eliminated, and no dynasty can eliminate the thieves. can only control them, the lesser of the two evils, and use this method to maintain law and order in the capital, the government is quite good at using its brains.
Li Guolou just gave a thousand taels of silver for filial piety, but let the three old-timers open their hearts and talk about it until now, how can they leave with so much silver, continue to drink tea and chat happily, just wait for noon to eat something.
Yao Cuo remembered something and said: "Third brother, do you take a look at the venue of Qiankun Tower at night, anyway, I think it's very good, it's not far from the yamen, there is room for activities." If you think it's good, buy it and make it our first home. Then you can scold your mother as you like. ”
Lu Haikong and Xingyunfeng smirked embarrassedly, brothers are like this, they have quarreled and scolded, and they will be reconciled as before.
Li Guolou said: "Okay big brother, but if you have some money, you still have to let it out, so that we can be justified." ”
Yao Cuo laughed and said, "You're still smart." There is no trouble, even the sign can be hung up, called the headquarters of the Jingshi People's League, let Bao Daren inscribe, do you say it's okay? ”
Lu Haikong was dissatisfied: "Big brother, the name is too straightforward, there is no new meaning." It should be called the headquarters of the Jingshi Ai National League. ”
Yao Cuo said angrily: "Then do you want to add more loyalty!" As long as you have a lot of things, why do you have to have such a long name? ”
Several people laughed together, a good day is coming, everything is justified, even if the emperor knows, he will praise them for being loyal to the monarch and patriotism, and sharing worries and difficulties for the monarch's father.
Outside the door, Ma Dequan shouted loudly: "Let's eat!" ”
Li Guolou said with a smile: "Several, my monkey cub is hungry, and if he doesn't feed it, he will turn over to the heavenly court, and the peach banquet of all the immortals will also be stirred up by the monkey cub, let's go quickly." ”
Yao Cuo stroked his beautiful beard, squinted and said: "Little Lizi, the more I look at you, the more you look like Sun Monkey, only Sun Monkey has come up with so many strange things, and the monkey cub will bring it to you, just to eat the peach banquet together." ”
Lu Haikong and Xingyun Feng slapped their thighs, stood up, and laughed. Today is the harvest day, and in the future, they will become big brother-level people, Jiaofeng Building, Huamanlou, Fengze Garden, where rich people can go, they can all go to eat, drink and have fun. All of this is the Sutra of Tricks turned out by the "Sun Monkey" in front of him, and this great gift is worth uniting them together.
The yamen didn't care about the food, and some people brought some food, drank a few sips of hot tea, and settled the lunch. There are also people who have their families bring lunch, which is what people close to the yamen do. Of course, the most people go out for lunch, lunch is not particular, even the official master often eats on the side of the desk, and does things at the same time.
At noon, Li Guolou was invited to dinner, and his nine subordinates followed behind Li Guolou, Yao Cuo, Lu Haikong, and Xingyunfeng, just wanting to have a good meal. I didn't expect Yao Cuo to take them to the ordinary restaurant, and they went in with a curtain, and sighed behind them.
Yao Cuo said loudly: "Xiao Lizi, don't spoil them, you must develop good habits, otherwise no matter how big the family business is, it will be ruined, and you have several foodies under you, and I can't afford to raise them." ”
Ma Dequan and Jin Erzi expressed strong dissatisfaction, and more than a dozen people occupied the two tables.
said that the officials oppressed the people, but Li Guolou had never seen it, it was natural to give money for dinner, and no one would eat the overlord's meal. But he has seen the bones in the egg. First of all, they had to ask the boss to serve the people at their second table, and they had to wipe the table several times. Tea is not good, if you want to use good tea, you won't lose a penny, this kind of thing, some people will say.
This is also a very normal thing, with this tiger skin, without a sense of superiority, who will feel superior? The boss is not afraid of official errands, and when he says kind words, no one feels that there is anything wrong.
Ma Dequan tapped the table with chopsticks and shouted, "Hot pot hot pot hot pot!" ”
The others also shouted together: "Hot Pot Hot Pot Hot Pot!" ”
Yao Cuo, who was originally holding the recipe, said helplessly: "Okay, hot pot, hot pot, Xiao Lizi, it's not that the chief doesn't want to save you, and I don't want to do anything that is angry with the public, you just wait for heavy bleeding." ”
Li Guolou couldn't understand how the hot pot could bleed profusely, so he asked, "Chief Yao, what does this mean, isn't this an ordinary restaurant?" ”
Lu Haikong stroked his stomach, thinking about the food, laughed, and said, "Stupid little plum, we are all foodies, and hot pot has no bottom." We don't want to eat the wine in Qiankun Building, it's only two taels of silver a table, what can we eat. The hot pot can eat you six taels of silver, and you're not bleeding profusely. ”
Li Guolou looked at the posture and understood, eating hot pot is to fight for a long time, they just don't leave, they will spend an afternoon here, and the people in the officialdom can eat today.
The boss's face has changed, and he looks at Li Guolou with joy, he already knows that the new official has a treat, and he can make a lot of money today.
Li Guolou said helplessly: "Big brother, I only took five taels of silver today, and I originally wanted to become my wife." Now I have to post it upside down, when did this world become so dark? ”
"Shhh Xing Yunfeng made a gesture and said, "Xiao Lizi, we are all honest and honest officials, and we also eat our own people, isn't Boss Huang?" ”
Boss Huang, who was full of spirit, said: "Okay Dad, you are my uncle here, and you still owe me more than a tael of silver." ”
Xing Yunfeng pointed at Li Guolou and laughed: "Boss Huang, I will count my account on Xiao Lizi's head later, he won't dare to repay the account." ”
Li Guolou said angrily: "Why is the good father? ”
Xing Yunfeng admonished: "Xiao Lizi, if you want to see my file, you have to invite me to eat for half a year, one case at a time." Got it? ”
Li Guolou immediately bowed his head, it costs money to worship the master, and he understands this truth. However, those who eat him will be eaten by him one day, and he will let these people understand this truth.
