Chapter 17: Self-Inflicted Cleverness
The next day, I stumbled upon the fact that today was the fifteenth day of the lunar calendar.
If I had followed my previous plan, today I would have taken Xiao Yan and the brothers of the Dao Ge Guards to the Dongshan TV Tower that Xiao Yan said and trapped the old man he said. But now that I have become this virtuous person, of course this plan cannot be carried out.
Today, of course, I got back to work. But it looks like the work is almost finished, and there should be another day or two, and when the turf is brought in and laid, it should be about the same.
In fact, this work should have been completed a few days earlier, if we were five or six of us doing it together. But when everyone does it, and then smokes a cigarette and rests, the progress of the work is certainly not fast.
Now, when everyone was smoking and resting again, the doorman Xiao Li sneaked over. The janitor was three people who took turns with each other, and now it was probably his turn to rest.
"Do you want to make meritorious contributions? Isn't it possible to get a lot of rewards? Xiao Li said mysteriously.
Everyone immediately became interested and asked, "What kind of merit did you make?" What are the rewards? ”
Xiao Li smiled "hehe", but stopped talking.
Uncle Zhong immediately handed over a cigarette with a smile on his face.
Xiao Li took a puff, spit out a smoke ring, squinted his eyes and said, "It is said that it is a meritorious service, but I look at you like Uncle Zhong...... Most not. ”
"What the hell is going on? Let's hear about it. Lao Hu next to him was already impatient, "It's a big deal, can I have a drink tonight?" ”
Xiao Li looked at Lao Hu and said with a smile: "It seems that you have a good chance." ”
Lao Hu was overjoyed and said, "Come and listen." ”
Xiao Li beckoned, so everyone hurriedly leaned their heads over.
Of course, I couldn't be too abrupt, and I leaned over with great interest.
Xiao Li said in a low voice: "The night before yesterday, didn't we have a thief here?" Later, he let him run away. ”
"yes, yes, I told them that day, they still don't believe it." Lao Hu said.
"Don't you interrupt, okay? What about thieves? Do you know where the thief is hiding and wants us to arrest him? Zhong Bo said.
Xiao Li continued: "Actually, you don't have to arrest him at all. Just now when I was on duty in the porter's room, I noticed a very suspicious person. That guy was in the woods opposite, and he walked here and there for a while, and his eyes were always looking at this villa of ours. If I'm guessing correctly, this guy must be playing with the idea of our villa! After all, rich people are always easy to worry about thieves, aren't they? ”
I asked, "What you just meant by meritorious service, do you mean that if we work together to arrest that guy and hand him over to the master, then there will be a reward?" ”
"Or what do you think?" Xiao Li rolled his eyes and said, "People like them hate it the most, and they are generous when a thief comes to patronize them." If we all work together to catch that guy, maybe everyone will get a reward of 8,000! ”
A young man next to him immediately said: "Yes, I picked up a wallet that day, and there were only a few cards in it, two hundred yuan. I handed it over to the head of Tangjiang. The general manager of Tangjiang said that I was good at collecting gold and had a good character, so he rewarded me with 500 yuan on the spot. ”
"Wow...... Five hundred? Everyone let out a burst of envy.
"That's it." Xiao Li said, "If we catch the thief, won't there be a thousand people?" Maybe the owner will be happy and reward more! ”
Lao Hu immediately said excitedly: "Then let's go out now, outflank each other, and arrest that guy and hand it over to the master!" ”
"You're stupid!" Xiao Li slapped Lao Hu on the top of his head, "First, that person is just suspicious, what evidence do we have that he is a thief?" Even if he really is, what if he doesn't admit it? Can we still beat him and admit it like he said on TV? Second, it's so wide outside, where can't I run? How can we stop him? We went out together, and he turned and ran into the woods, and we couldn't do anything. ”
I didn't expect that this little doorman was quite thoughtful.
Although Lao Hu was slapped by Xiao Li, he was not angry, obviously very convinced, and hurriedly asked, "What do you say we should do?" ”
Xiao Li said in a low voice: "That's the case, in my opinion, this guy definitely didn't steal anything last time, and he will definitely come again, most likely tonight." By the time we're tonight, we'll go to bed early......
"Go to bed early?" Lao Hu didn't understand.
Xiao Li continued: "Of course I'm pretending to be asleep, stupid!" We have a light here, will the thief dare to come? We turned off the lights and quietly set up an ambush around here. I've already observed, and if you want to climb over the outside of the wall, our dorm is the most convenient. When the thief comes out of there, let's rush out together and hold him down at once! You said that there are so many of us, are you afraid that you can't hold down one person? ”
"Great idea, here's it!" Zhong Bo said immediately.
Xiao Li said: "Uncle Zhong, don't go up, you won't be able to catch anyone at that time, but you will break yourself, then it's not good." ”
Zhong Bo glared and said, "Little friend, can you speak?" Although my old man is a little older, his body is better, maybe he is stronger than you! ”
Xiao Li smiled and said, "Don't worry. I don't mean anything else, we all work together, how can I look down on you? People will be old, and it is not okay to be old. You will ambush with us tonight, and when it is time to arrest people, you will still have your share of the credit, and you will not be lost. ”
The people next to him also persuaded: "Yes, Uncle Zhong, you are old, in case that guy struggles, it will not be good to kick you somewhere." ”
Everyone said it very sincerely, and Zhong Bo couldn't refuse, so he had to say: "Okay, I won't be on it when the time comes." ”
Lao Hu still had doubts: "But I saw it that day, the thief would fly, and he jumped on the ten-meter-high wall." ”
Xiao Li slapped Lao Hu's head again: "Then you are still waiting for him to fly?" Let's quietly pounce on him together and hold him down, so can he still fly? ”
"That's right." Lao Hu smiled "hehe".
So, Xiao Li began to instruct everyone to turn off the lights early after dinner tonight. Then, who hid where, who blocked in what direction, who stood under the wall, was well distributed.
I have to say that this Xiao Li is really a talent. He is not only meticulous and eloquent, but also has good organizational skills, everyone is willing to listen to him, and the arrangement is also very comprehensive and thoughtful.
Of course, due to the limitations of identity, status, and knowledge, he can only be regarded as smart now, after all, there are many things that you need to stand at a certain height to be able to see. But if someone can lead the way and cultivate it, this Xiao Li will be a good helper.
Although I was good to these subordinates before, I didn't think to get to know them carefully. I didn't expect that among such people, there is such a piece of jade. When I reclaim my body and restore my identity, it seems that I can consider giving him a chance.
Xiao Li, Li Cunyang, I secretly keep this name in my heart.
"Hey, what are you talking about there when you don't work?" Wang Yan shouted loudly in the distance, "I've been paying attention to you for a long time, and I've rested enough, right?" ”
It turned out that Wang Yan and Zhu'er were playing on the grass with Xiao Yan.
"Work, work." Xiao Li hurriedly said, "Remember to keep it secret and act in secret." ”
But with such a big thing in mind, everyone seems to have no mind to work, and they do it perfunctorily, and the efficiency is worse than usual.
As far as I know, Lao Hu's salary is the same as my current salary, which is 4,000 yuan, and the bonus of 10,000 yuan is still very important.
A group of servants and a group of ordinary people actually set a "big plan to catch thieves" in this way. Of course, they don't know how powerful it is, so naturally they can't blame them.
I, on the other hand, have other plans.
Perhaps, you can take the opportunity to try the reality of Tangjiang.
