Chapter 100: Security Guards
The next morning, Nanjing Yingtianfu's catch was busy for a while, Hongyi Gangtangkou was burned by a fire, and a large number of corpses were found inside, after receiving the report, Yang Ming brought people to the scene, the fire had been extinguished, and the smell of burnt paste wafted in the air.
After looking at a few corpses, he came to Yang Ming's side and reported in a low voice what he saw, the deceased was not burned to death, but killed by a sharp weapon.
Yang Ming, the head catcher, suddenly grew big after hearing this, killed dozens of people, and set fire to the corpses, which can be regarded as a shocking case in the east city of Nanjing. Yang Ming didn't dare to delay, and quickly ran back to report to the Shangguan, and the situation was reported layer by layer, until it was reported to Lord Yin of Yingtianfu Mansion. Lord Fu Yin was also surprised, when did such a ruthless thief come out of Nanjing, there was a gang vendetta before, but he didn't have such a black hand. If you report the truth and can't catch the murderer, it will be very difficult for Shangguan to explain.
Fu Yin and the master discussed for a long time and made a decision, and the thief set a fire, providing a good excuse for Fu Yin.
Yang Ming and Qi Zuo, who had been to the scene, were directly called in front of Lord Fu Yin. These two people have never seen such a big official, and Fu Yin threatened the two of them loudly again, and they were almost frightened, and they didn't dare to say anything more. Ying Tianfu determined that the entrance of the Hongyi Gang accidentally caught fire, and the hall master Chang Shun and his subordinates were burned to death.
Of course, the leaders and minions of the Hongyi Gang who were lucky not to be in the hall that night could see that this must be a vendetta of other gangs, and their lives were also in danger, so they had already scattered as birds and beasts. The other gangs in Nanjing did not dare to enter Dongcheng immediately, and the Hongyi Gang had just been wiped out, and entering at this time was equivalent to claiming this bloody case.
The merchants in Nanjing Dongcheng are very happy, and now no one collects protection money from them. Their happy days didn't pass for a few days, and the unemployed gangsters in Dongcheng set their sights on this piece of fat, without the constraints of the gang, the gangsters had no rules to talk about, they blackmailed as they wanted, and those who did business were even more fearful, and the government's fast arresters only took care of things when they took the money, and the burden on the merchants was heavier than when the Hongyi Gang was there. The merchants had no better way, but hoped that a new gang would be formed as soon as possible, and that there would be a fixed amount of money to be extorted each month, or at least that life would be more stable.
In the hope of the merchants, a new business was opened in the east city of Nanjing, which was opened in a secluded place, and the whole house was surrounded by high walls, which did not look like a place for business, but a plaque was also hung at the door, which read: "Security Bureau." "It turns out that this is a newly opened dart game, but this dart game is different from other dart boards, other dart bureaus bodyguard fees are charged by trip, but this dart board has to collect money on a monthly basis.
It turned out that this dart bureau was opened by Zhang Chu, after being blackmailed by the Hongyi Gang, Zhang Chu has been thinking about a problem, how to protect the bank from being extorted by the gang, the easiest way is to set up a gang by himself, but the reputation of the gang has not been good, so Zhang Chu decided to set up this "security dart bureau", but in the name of the dart bureau, he has to do the gang's business.
The men of the "Security Bureau" began to solicit business in groups of five or six, and they entered one shop after another along the street, and when they entered the door, they said to the men: "This street is now under our control, as long as you pay the monthly premium, we guarantee your safety, and if anyone bullies you, we will stand up for you." ”
When the young man heard it, how could this sound so familiar, looking at the few people standing in the store with fierce faces, his heart was also trembling, so he had to ask the boss to come out, the boss was more calm than the guy, and carefully asked to figure it out, these people are some refugees from Shaanxi, their hometown suffered a disaster and couldn't survive, they fled all the way here, opened a dart game and didn't make money, so they wanted to expand their business and risk their lives to fill the gap left by the Hongyi Gang. Now the boss is even more afraid not to pay the premium, the news of the famine in Shaanxi also spread to Nanjing, it is said that many people died of starvation, these people have a breath of crawling out of the pile of dead people, fortunately, the premium is not expensive, the person who has paid the premium dart bureau took out a palm-sized bronze medal engraved with the word "Bao", let the store hang at the door, and said that they can ask them for help if there is something to do in the future. The shopkeeper thought that it would be good as long as you didn't come to make trouble, and dared to ask you for help.
The people of the "Security Bureau" went to collect the premiums one by one, and they only simply persuaded them if they did not pay, and did not act excessively. There are also business owners who have been bullied by gangsters not long ago, and they are very unhappy, and ask the people in the dart bureau if they have just been bullied? But the people in the dart bureau didn't buy it, saying that they would collect a day's money to ensure a safe day, and the "security guard bureau" didn't care about what happened when they didn't pay the money. The boss paid the premium and hung up the bronze medal, he knew that those thugs would definitely come again, and what would the people who watched the game of darts do. The thugs didn't care about the appearance of the dart game, and still showed off their might in the streets. Finally, the gangsters blackmailed a merchant with a bronze medal with the word "Bao", and after the boss gave the money, he found the "Security Guard Bureau", and the Dart Bureau recorded the situation and asked the boss to go home and wait. Early the next morning, the people in the dart bureau actually sent back all the money that the gangsters had extorted from the boss. And the thugs didn't show up on the street again.
The appearance of the "Security Dart Bureau" attracted the attention of Yang Ming, the head catcher, although Lord Yin did not allow the situation of the Hongyi Gang case to be revealed to the public, but driven by curiosity, Yang Ming still wanted to know who did this shocking case. The "Security Bureau" actually took over the sphere of influence of the Hongyi Gang, which greatly increased the suspicion of the Gang of Guards. Yang Ming began to investigate the origin of this dart game, but he didn't expect that he had only been working for two days, and someone sent him an invitation to invite him to tea.
Yang Ming met a young man who claimed to be the owner of the dart game in the private room of the teahouse. Yang Ming observed the situation around him and was on guard.
"You don't have to be nervous, I have business to discuss with you." The other party opened his mouth first.
"You don't know my identity? What business do you do with me. Yang Ming asked vigilantly.
"I know you're a head catcher, it's because of this that we can do business, we're the 'Security Guard Bureau', we're going to take over the Hongyi Gang's sphere of influence, and you don't have to investigate anymore. You will also have benefits to take from our cooperation, and you have not taken it from the Hongyi Gang before. The other man continued.
Yang Ming couldn't help but be surprised, although it was not a secret to catch money from the gang, it was also meaningful for the other party to say it. If this group of people really did the case of Hongyi's gang, they couldn't afford to provoke themselves, "What do you want me to do?" ”
"It's very simple, as long as you and your subordinates don't get in the way of our dart game, you will have a good advantage every month." The other party made the conditions clear.
Yang Ming agreed with his mouth, the corpses of the Hongyi Gang full of courtyards were too shocking to Yang Ming, if that case was really done by someone from the dart bureau, he would not dare to wade into this troubled water.
The dart bureau gradually expanded its power to the entire Dongcheng, and the merchants returned to their previous lives, but the people of the dart bureau were more civilized than the Hongyi gang when they charged, and other gangs in Nanjing City were very dissatisfied with the work of the gang under the banner of the "security dart bureau", but now the situation is unclear and they are also observing and touching the bottom of the dart bureau.
For the sake of insurance, Zhang Chu spent money to hire some local poor people to join the dart game, which strengthened the strength of the dart game.
At this time, there was trouble and found the "Zhongyang Bank" bank.
