This time, it was Xu Lang who watched Zhao Zhiruo pack up. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Zhao Zhiruo was as cheerful as a bird: "Mr. Xu, how many clothes do we have to bring, is Annan colder or hotter than us here?" ”

Zhao Zhiruo suddenly lowered her head after asking this sentence: "Should I call you Mr. Xu or Mr. Xu now?" ”

"Zhiruo." Xu Lang returned the question to Zhao Zhiruo, "I should call you Zhiruo or Miss Zhao now." ”

Zhao Zhiruo still lowered her head: "Xu Gongzi can be called whatever he wants." ”

"Zhiruo." Xu Lang said calmly, "Like Cheng Yiyi, call me Xu Lang." ”

Zhao Zhiruo's face suddenly turned red, and she asked in a voice that she couldn't even hear, "Can I be the same as Sister Yiyi?" ”

Xu Lang did not answer Zhao Zhiruo directly: "In my heart, you are all the same." ”

"Xu, Xu, Xu." The little rabbit in Zhao Zhiruo's heart fluttered and jumped faster than the other.

Cheng Yiyi stood on the reef again and stared at the sea, and two lines of tears flowed down her eyes: "He didn't hug me, he still didn't hug me." ”

"Yiyi, what are you talking about?" Sun Tianhao, who was behind him, didn't hear Cheng Yiyi's words clearly, and asked, "Who didn't hug whom?" ”

"Tianhao, let's go." Cheng Yiyi turned around and stopped looking at the sea, "Let's do what we should do." ”

It took a day and a half for the God to return to Jinpu, where the signs of the Jinpu Governor's Palace and the Annam Dispatch Army Headquarters hung on the largest house in the barracks.

In addition to more than 1,000 troops and pioneer regiments, hundreds of Vietnamese have been hired as porters at the wharf. Xu Lang once jokingly said that Yulin Bay created the first Vietnamese proletarian contingent for Vietnam. Where there are people, there will be demand, and where there is demand, there will be a market. Slowly, two spontaneous small markets were formed outside the barracks and near the wharf, especially the hundreds of Vietnamese proletarian brothers on the wharf, after consciously accepting the exploitation of the bourgeoisie in Yulin Bay every day sweating profusely, the physical and psychological needs surged, and casinos and ** began to appear outside the wharf. The army does not have the energy to manage these trivial matters, and all kinds of forces are secretly breeding underground, and Jiang Beiming and the others have already had two large-scale fights in the month before they returned. This time, before Jiang Beiming returned to Vietnam, he personally went to Liu Guannan, and after reporting to the committee for approval, Ye Yan and Li Xiao also followed the God to Jinpu with more than a dozen patrols, and the well-deserved Jinpu patrol house was officially established.

Now the patrol is no longer equipped with a cavalry knife, and that thing can't really use it to cut people except for tripping itself up when it's inadvertent. Therefore, Liu Guannan has applied to the committee to reissue the inspector and the head catcher, and the general patrol arresters are all carrying flintlock pistols.

Ye Yan and Li Xiao's detectives finally added a general word in front of them, the chief inspector of the Jinpu patrol room, but Ye Yan had one more sub-word than Li Xiao.

Ye Yan sat in the office of the patrol room and touched his epaulettes beautifully, it has been more than a year, and it has finally changed from 2 beans to 3 beans.

"Alright, alright, you've been stinky all morning." Li Xiao sat on the chair and put his legs high on the table, "We have to recruit some Annan people to be patrols, we can't rely on ourselves." ”

"Recruit Annan? Why recruit Annan people, aren't we people ourselves? ”

"Boss Liu is really right, you are still young." Li Xiao said with a smile.

"Go to the side, how old do you think you are, aren't you three years older than me."

"We have too few people." Li Xiao took his leg off the table, "Master Xu and Master Fan have both looked for me, and they said that according to the current development, by the end of the year, there will be at least 1,000 coolies in this wharf, and the Annan people in the entire Jinpu will reach two or three thousand." We can't just rely on our own dozen patrols to manage it. What Master Fan means is that by the end of the year, we will expand the patrol room to at least 80 people. ”

"80 people? Li Xiao, do we have to be promoted again? ”

"You can do it well first, and then you want to be promoted. The boss sent us here this time, it is a great respect for the two of us, don't embarrass the boss. ”

"I know." Ye Yan no longer touched his shoulder, "Recruiting people is definitely going to be recruited, but what are you going to do?" ”

Li Xiao leaned over and leaned his face over, "I have already asked Cao Lin and them to inquire, and first find out the situation in this place." Do you remember what the boss said before we came out, the more we are in a place like the dock, the more complicated the situation becomes. The underground order cannot be eradicated, it can only be exploited. Since this order must exist, then we must control this order and make it available to us. ”

"Is this what the Boss said?" Ye Yan asked, "Why didn't I remember what the boss said?" ”

"You're just thinking about being promoted, what can you remember?"

"But Li Xiao." Ye Yan said, "These words don't seem to be the same as what the boss said before." When we were in Yulin Bay, the boss always taught us that patrolling is to serve the people, to eradicate evil and stop crime, how did this come to Annan It seems that everything has changed. ”

"The boss told me about it, too." Li Xiao explained, "The boss said that the situation in Jinpu and Yulin Bay is different. Everyone in Yulin Bay now lives and works in peace and contentment, and if the family has money, there will not be too many violations and crimes. However, Jinpu is now in the period of development, and there will definitely be a big gap between money and no money, and we want to use this place as a cargo transfer station. As for the people of Annan, the boss said that it is not our concern, and our task is to do everything possible to maintain the normal operation of Jinpu. Even if the people of Annan kill people every day, as long as the market is calm and does not affect our business in Yulin Bay, then there is no need to interfere. If there are no major problems now, the army will not help us, and people have their own affairs, so it is up to us to do it ourselves. ”

"Report."

"Come in."

As soon as the door was pushed, Cao Lin walked in from the outside: "Chief Inspector, Deputy Chief Inspector, are all here." ”

"Close the door." Li Xiao pointed to the door that was still open behind Cao Lin, "What's the matter?" ”

"Head, I've basically inquired about what you asked me to inquire about." Cao Lin said as he turned around and closed the door.

"Okay, Cao Lin, it's pretty good." Ye Yan said on the side, "What did you hear?" Sit down and say. ”

"Head, there are mainly 3 gangs of Annamite people on the dock now." Cao Lin sat down on the chair, "One is a local Hongji person, and the leader is called Ruan Weiwu, because he is a landlord, so now these **, casinos and other things are controlled by him." The other is those wharf coolies, most of these coolies were recruited by Master Sun from Thang Long Mansion, some of them went to Yulin Bay, and some of them did not want to leave Annan and stayed on the wharf as coolies. They are basically from Thang Long Mansion, so they are more grouped, and the leader is called Nguyen Xingqiang. The last one is some Annam people from other places, because they are all scattered and in groups, so they were very bullied by the locals when they first came to Jinpu, but there is also a leader among them now, named Wu Changchi, I heard that they have also fought. There are also some small gangs, about seven or eight, which are not in the climate. ”

"There are only a few Annan people in total, and they are divided into so many gangs." Ye Yan sighed.

"It's normal." Li Xiao said, "When I was at home, there was still a fight between the two villages. ”

"Cao Lin, you go on." Li Xiao asked again, "How is the relationship between them now?" ”

"Head." Cao Lin replied, "At the beginning, these gangs were incompatible, and they fought back and forth every day, but no one could destroy anyone. Especially the last time the army was dispatched, and the weapon fight between them was calmed down, and now they are much more honest. can secretly be more energetic, especially that Wu Changchi. Both Ruan Weiwu and Ruan Xingqiang control some territory, so they are not so aggressive. But Wu Changchi doesn't have much territory now, and I heard that he can start a fight with Ruan Xingqiang recently, and he wants to get some benefits from the dock. ”

"Cao Lin, where did you get this information, is it reliable?" Ye Yan asked.

"Head, I'm asking the locals. Didn't the boss say before we came, find a few people to be informants. I found a few Ming people in Annan, and it was really useful, and I could basically inquire about these things. ”

"Cao Lin, good job." Li Xiao boasted.

"Head, don't just talk about it, come to something practical." Cao Linpi said with a smile, "I gave the money, didn't the boss say that the informant fee can be counted as the cost of our patrol house, I don't have the money to pay for it myself." ”

"Look at your little bit of interest." Ye Yan smiled, "Yours are indispensable." ”

"Cao Lin." Li Xiao suddenly said, "You go and ask all those Annan people over, I want to talk to them." ”

"Talk?" Li Xiao's words stunned Ye Yan and Cao Lin, "Head, what is there to talk about with them." ”

"You just go to the appointment, I have my way." Li Xiao didn't answer the questions of the two, "Ye Yan, I'll leave the matter of recruiting Annan to patrol and arrest you, hurry up, recruit 20 to 30 people first, and I will set up a security team." ”

"Head, what if they don't come?" Cao Lin asked.

"Not coming? Hehe. Li Xiao sneered twice, "If someone wants to find death, then it's no wonder that I, Li Xiao, have a black hand." ”

Ye Yan's recruitment went very smoothly, with a salary of 2 yuan of silver per month, plus the benefits of food and housing, it was much better than working as a coolie on the dock. After a few days, Ye Yan's carefully selected 30-member security team was officially established.

"Head, I've made an appointment." Cao Lin sat in the chief inspector's office again, his face full of sadness, "But none of them came, and they all said that something was wrong." ”

"Really?" Li Xiao's face was impassive, "Who shirked the most simply?" ”

"Ruan Weiwu. Not only did he not come, but he also said that our Ming Yamen couldn't control them Annan people. ”

"Hehe, can't you care?" Li Xiao sneered, "Do you know where his nest is?" ”

"Yes, I've already inquired about it." Cao Lin said hatefully, "It's too bad to give us face in the patrol room." Head, he opened the square gambling house next to the pier, and he was there every day. ”

"Cao Lin, assemble the security team and call all of our own people. Quartet Casino? I'm going to kill you tonight. ”

"Head, don't you need to notify the Governor's Palace, let's go by ourselves, isn't it a bit 。。。。。。?" Cao Lin was a little hesitant.

"No, just ourselves." Li Xiao said sharply, "I have to put on a good show to give Boss Liu a long face." ”

The sun set, and the vicinity of Jin Phu Pier began to be lively again, and the Vietnamese proletarian brethren who had been tired from a day's work poured into the restaurants, casinos, and **, and all kinds of noisy voices were noisy.

In the square gambling house, a gambler lost more than a dozen times in a row, and all the money on his body was lost.

"Buy big and open big, buy small and open small, buy and leave." The person shaking the sieve on the opposite side shouted at the gambler, "If you bet or not, if you don't bet, hurry up and give way." ”

"How do you know that I don't bet, I bet!"

"You bet? Do you still have any money, and what are you betting? ”

"I'll take this bet." After the gambler finished speaking, he suddenly took out a hand from his clothes and pressed it on the gambling table, "Do you dare to accept it?" ”

There was a loud "boom", a fire rang out outside the door, and 30 members of the security team rushed into the gambling house with batons in hand.

Li Xiao and Ye Yan wore neat police uniforms and walked into the gambling house with their hands in hand. A patrol stood behind them and shouted in Vietnamese: "Everyone stands against the wall in the patrol house to investigate the case." ”
