Chapter 48: Follow my example

After getting angry, Dong Yun also calmed down, and he asked the big leaders of the other gangs to leave first, leaving the mad dog and mad cow brothers alone to understand what happened in detail. After listening to it, Dong Yun was a little puzzled, didn't anything big happen? To say that breaking the sky is to spit out a mouthful of spit on a hundred households under Wu Shigong! Dong Yun estimated that Wu Shigong's eldest young master's temper had attacked, and today's approach was to vent his anger. Although the mad dog and mad cow brothers also have a small gang of their own, they are also basically attached to Dong Yun's gang, and they can be said to be peripheral members of Dong Yun's big gang. Therefore, Dong Yun can't leave it alone.

So on the next day, Dong Yun sent someone to the Yamen of the Soldiers and Horses Division with gifts to intercede. This time, Wu Shigong didn't beat anyone, but he didn't accept the gift either, he asked the giver to bring back a sentence to Dong Yun: If Dong Yun is willing to lose some money to cover those two brothers for the sake of morality in the rivers and lakes, then feel free. Anyway, when the time comes, not only Dong Yun's gang will lose money, but other gangs in Nancheng will also lose money.

When he heard these words in Dong Yun's ears, Dong Yun sweated a little. Although Dong Yun's nickname is "Half South City", in South City, gangs not led by him also occupy most of the other South City. If the other gangs joined forces to deal with him, Dong Yun's leadership position in the Nancheng gang would definitely be shaken. Even if this happens, some of his own gang's subordinates may no longer support him. For the big leaders of the gangs, the shaking of their status often means the destruction of their families. For the sake of the mad dog and mad cow brothers, is it worth it to choose to confront the Terracotta Division?

As expected, the big leaders of the other gangs also inquired through different channels about why the Terracotta Division took such an action this time. Some of them even knew what Wu Shigong brought to Dong Yun. They began to send people to put pressure on Dong Yun to hand over the two brothers. Even some small leaders in Dong Yun's own gang also hinted to Dong Yun and expressed their attitude: there is no need to offend the soldiers and horses for the sake of those two brothers.

Here, we can see that the ruthlessness of the mad dog and mad cow brothers only makes the people in the other gangs unwilling to provoke them, but the status of these two brothers among all the gang leaders is not high. It is also perfectly acceptable to give up those two brothers for the sake of their own interests.

The mad dog and mad cow brothers actually talked about some morality, and when they saw Dong Yun's embarrassment, they volunteered to Dong Yun: The two of them went to the Soldiers and Horses Division to surrender. Seeing that these two brothers took the initiative to solve a problem for themselves, Dong Yun also repaid the favor and promised the two brothers that he would go together to intercede tomorrow to keep the stability of the two brothers.

Dong Yun and the two brothers both thought that spitting out a hundred households was not a crime at all. If Wu Shigong wants to be punished, at most the two brothers will be beaten, even if it is beaten hard, let the two brothers lie in bed for a month or two, in order to make Wu Shigong angry, Dong Yun and the two brothers will admit it. When the time comes, give Wu Shigong a heavy gift, and this matter will pass.

The next morning, Dong Yun took the two brothers to the Yamen of the Soldiers and Horses Division to surrender themselves. After seeing Wu Shigong, Dong Yun asked Wu Shigong to raise his noble hand. Wu Shigong was noncommittal to Dong Yun's request. He said to Dong Yun: The Soldiers and Horses Division has no power to decide the case, and the two brothers will be escorted to Nancheng to inspect the Imperial History Yamen to punish the crime later. After listening to Wu Shigong's words, Dong Yun thought that Wu Shigong had agreed to his request, so he also took his leave, and he still had to go to the Nancheng Yushi Yamen to communicate with him. Wu Shigong looked at Dong Yun's departing back, and a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth.

Wu Shigong called Xue Yong and Xue Qiang in and asked them to arrange the escort personnel and routes. After calling Wu Mian again, Wu Shigong personally led people to escort the two brothers on the road.

The two brothers had their hands tied behind their backs, and their mouths were tightly gagged. After passing through a relatively secluded alley, Wu Shigong asked the team to stop. He ordered the soldiers of the Soldiers and Horses Division to guard the entrance of the alley and not let those idle people enter the alley. Then, with Wu Mian, let the guards of the Xue Mansion drag the two brothers into the alley.

The mad dog and mad cow brothers had already realized that something was wrong at this time. They struggled desperately, and a "uh-huh" sound came out of their gagged mouths. However, they couldn't stand the many guards of the Xue Mansion, so they were dragged to the corner of the alley like two dead dogs, holding down their bodies and kneeling on the ground. Wu Shigong took out the rib from his side and stabbed the mad dog several times, and the mad dog fell in a pool of blood, and saw that he was out of breath. The mad cow was on the side, so frightened that water oozed from the crotch of his pants.

Wu Shigong walked to Wu Mian, who was trembling on the side, handed the ribs to Wu Mian, and said to him, "Follow my demonstration." ”

Wu Mian's heart was extremely scared. Wu Mian has not seen dead people, and in the fire, Wu Mian has also seen a lot of charred dead bodies. But he's never killed someone himself. He mechanically took the handful of ribs handed to him by Wu Shigong and looked at Wu Shigong. Wu Shigong smiled at Wu Mian, his eyes were very gentle, but in Wu Mian's eyes, they looked very terrifying. Wu Mian weighed it in his heart, seeking wealth and danger, so he gritted his teeth and stabbed the mad cow a few times, and the mad cow also saw that he was lying on the ground and did not move.

"Not bad, not bad." Wu Shigong patted Wu Mian, who was already sweating profusely, on the shoulder and said, "The soldiers and horses are going to promote a deputy commander, you can prepare." Listening to Wu Shigong's words, Wu Mian suddenly came to life and became excited.

Wu Shigong took Wu Mian and asked the guards of the Xue Mansion to drag the dead bodies of the two brothers out of the alley. The soldiers of the Soldiers and Horses Division guarding outside the alley were shocked and frightened when they saw it. Wu Shigong didn't care about the reactions of those soldiers, and announced to them: "That mad dog and mad cow, trying to escape with weapons, were killed by this official and Wu Baihu just now. Then, he told Wu Mian to take the soldiers and send the two dead bodies to Nancheng to inspect the imperial history yamen, and go through them according to the prescribed procedures. He took the guards of the Xue Mansion back to the Yamen of the Soldiers and Horses.

In the whole incident, the biggest mistake Dong Yun and the two brothers made was to mistakenly underestimate the status of the Soldiers and Horses. Even those two brothers paid with their lives for their mistakes. At that time, among all the law enforcement agencies in the capital, the status of the Terracotta Division was indeed the lowest, but don't forget that the lowest-status police were still the police. Even Shili's biggest gang can't compete with law enforcement agencies like the Terracotta Division.

In modern times, if Wu Shigong was on the street one day and was harassed or even insulted by a fledgling little policeman for no reason, Wu Shigong would never pull out his gun and kill this little policeman who didn't know whether he was alive or dead. In the future, he can transfer that little policeman to a corner through connections and make him suffer. You can also go through legal procedures to peel off the skin of the little policeman. But it will definitely not hurt the little policeman and his family. The revenge of the underworld we see in the film is all made up by those screenwriters to show the audience.

We can see what happens if we hurt that little policeman.

First of all, this kind of behavior will arouse a great reaction from public opinion, which will demand that the government intensify its efforts to crack down on the triad and even more intensify the legislative work to crack down on the triad. Therefore, not only the police will deal with you, but other underworld elements will also deal with you, the black sheep;

The second is that from now on, you will be subjected to endless harassment by the police. Even if you can buy off all the police chiefs, they won't be able to stop the actions of the low-level police officers who share the same hatred. Because, you have threatened the personal safety of the entire police group. In this case, you are not doing the underworld to make money, but to vomit (see the money-making properties of the underworld above);

Zuihou is that when you fall into the hands of the police one day, even if you have the most haode lawyer, the police can take advantage of the loopholes in the law to kill you. Today, Wu Shigong's method of escaping and killing during escort is one of the most commonly used methods. Of course, this method is also illegal, but as long as the escorting police are unanimous, the judge has no choice. Even if the police don't take illegal measures, then the police also have countless ways to put you in prison and play you worse than death.

We can also often hear some ignorant and vicious gangsters shouting, "I can kill one policeman and earn one." In fact, this statement is very ignorant, and even a little ignorant and ridiculous.

Here's an analogy: 100 policemen round up a bandit, and the gangster kills 99 policemen, and Zuihou is shot dead by the remaining policeman.

So what did the bandits get? He lost his life and, of course, everything. In addition, the bandit's relatives and friends are also involved in the bandit, and several of them will be sentenced for harboring. The bandit's family will be harassed and attacked by the entire government agency in the rest of their lives, and they will be discriminated against in terms of joining the army and employment;

And what about state institutions? Although the State apparatus has lost 99 policemen, the pensions of those policemen are paid by the State, and even the production of the medals and awards of those policemen is paid by the State. In the words of a classic line in Hong Kong police films: It's all taxpayers' money. And the officials who are in charge of state institutions do not have to pay a penny out of their own pockets. Even because of the propaganda of those police heroes, those officials may also get some political benefits. As for the places for those police officers who have died, there is guaranteed that there is a long queue with no end in sight to sign up.

The only people who are sad are the families of the police officers who died.

These words are not good, though. But society is really so cruel. It is the same in ancient and modern times, both in China and abroad.

In the eyes of underworld elements like Wu Shigong, this kind of person can only be called a bandit, not an underworld. Although in the eyes of the common people, there may be no difference between these two kinds of people, but in Wu Shigong, they can distinguish this very clearly. It's like the Ministry of Defense's distinction between the field army and the militia. Therefore, in Wu Shigong's view, in "Crazy Boy", people like Brother Hao and Da Feige, who fight and kill on the streets every day, and do not do their jobs, can definitely not be called underworld elements, but can only be called gangsters. It's just a big gangster at most.

Therefore, the first iron rule in the underworld is: in the pursuit of the police, helpless resistance is okay. But you must not take the initiative to provoke the police. Wu Shigong, as an experienced underworld member in his previous life, how could he not understand the thoughts of those gangs? And now that Wu Shigong has arrived in the Ming Dynasty, he is going to carry out the work of fighting gangs, so he is not familiar with using all this to fight these gangs!
