"Then you tell me why I can't do it. ”

Lin Xi glanced at Xu Jianling, turned around and smiled quietly at the middle-aged proprietress of the herbal tea shop next to her, and said, "Boss, borrow a few clean tables to talk, can you?"

Hearing that Lin Xi turned out to be the new arrester of Donggang Town, the proprietress and the onlookers around were already a little incredulous, and when they heard Lin Xi say this, the proprietress who had not seen much of the world was a little flustered, but she couldn't help nodding her head, and she didn't dare to answer for a while.

The crowd dispersed a little, and Xu Jianling's face softened slightly, but after the initial surprise, there was a little more inexplicable hidden anger in his heart - he actually sent such a young man to press on top of him, and he looked so weak, this is a need to investigate the case and arrest the criminal, but it is not enough to read a book for a few years, and not every prisoner will be obediently tied up, can you just rely on your sharp teeth and sharp mouth to let people obediently go back with you?

"Three, can you please stay for a while?"

After smiling quietly at the young man from a foreign country, Lin Xi nodded and said to the old man carrying two killed fish, the woman carrying a wooden basin full of wet clothes, and a person who looked like the shopkeeper of a nearby shop.

"We..."

Hearing Lin Xi say this, the three of them were all startled, their faces turned pale for a while, and they didn't know why Lin Xi would order them to stay alone.

"Don't worry, I'm sure I won't cause problems for the three. ”

Seeing that the three of them were hesitant and scared, Lin Xi whispered again.

Affected by Lin Xi's words and Lin Xi's calm expression, the three of them became bold, glanced at each other, and followed Lin Xi and the others into the herbal tea shop next to them for some reason.

Because the carriage was inconvenient to enter, Peng Xiaofeng, who had just appeared in front of Xu Jianling with the relevant notice documents of the ministry, did not enter, but just sat in the carriage and waited.

"Tell me, what is the reason?"

Lin Xi sat down in the herbal tea shop, glanced at Xu Jianling, Liu Tong, young people from other villages, and an old woman selling tofu who were standing, and asked.

"My lord, it doesn't seem convenient to say it here. Xu Jianling took a deep breath, tried to squeeze out some flattering smiles, and lowered his voice.

"What does it matter. Lin Xi ordered a little outside the herbal tea shop, looked at Xu Jianling again, and sneered: "You see that the people outside here are just worried about being questioned by me and leaving nothing, what is the reason, except for me and this brother from a foreign country, I'm afraid no one knows, why hide it." ”

Xu Jianling was extremely unhappy in his heart, and when Lin Xi said this at this moment, his heart was also on fire again, and he said in a deep voice: "Since the adults said so, then I will also make it clear." Adults, do you know 'black oil' and 'stone rats'?"

Lin Xi shook his head and said, "I don't know." ”

"Sure enough, it's a blue-faced book calf with black eyes. Xu Jianling sneered in his heart, looked at Lin Xi and said: "Black oil is the laborer who specially picks up oil and unloads the ship on the Xijiang River, because it smells of oil and is tanned, it is called black oil." Most of this part of the black oil is brute force, and they usually have a lot of leisure time, colluding with factions, and they are most likely to fight and make trouble. In addition to the tung oil business is big, we actually have a sand and gravel business in Xijiang, the bottom of the Xijiang River is all fine sand and gravel, the flat courtyard is the best paving, digging out is silver two, this part of the labor is also a lot. Most of these two parts of the people are under the control of four people, Zhang Erye, Zhu Siye, Zhen Wuye and Liu Qiye. ”

Lin Xi smiled and said, "Liu Tong is Zhu Siye's person, right?"

Xu Jianling was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "Exactly." ”

"Then you can get to the point, why is he Zhu Siye's person, I can't do it?" Lin Xi glanced at Xu Jianling, then at Liu Tong, and asked seriously.

Xu Jianling took a deep breath, I don't know why, Lin Xi's expression was constantly very calm, and he looked like he was very good at talking, but the means he showed before and the tone of his speech kept making him hold a vicious breath in his chest, and he couldn't help but burst out.

"There are a lot of people in black oil and stone rats, and there are very few people in our trapping room. Usually, seven out of 10 cases in our arrest room were caused by drunken disturbances or fights with other workers and resulted in disabilities. Xu Jianling forcibly suppressed the evil anger in his heart, and said in a deep voice: "This is still under the control of Zhu Siye, if they are not in charge, I am afraid that we will not be able to keep busy at all when we run and break our legs." ”

Lin Xi looked at Xu Jianling and shook his head: "What you said is not sincere enough, and you didn't tell the real reason at all." ”

Xu Jianling was stunned.

"Lord Lin. ”

At this moment, two more people from the arrest room came in front of the herbal tea shop, and they bowed to Lin Xi extremely worriedly.

These two people are Du Weiqing and Liang Sansi.

They had just finished mediating a dispute caused by rent near Tianxianglou, which was separated by two alleys, and suddenly heard that the new arrester had arrived in Donggang Town, and there was a conflict here, so they immediately rushed over, and saw that Lin Xi who was sitting was really as young as some people along the way said, and these two people had similar ideas as Xu Jianling at the beginning.

"Who are you?"

Lin Xi glanced at Du Weiqing and Liang Sansi.

Du Weiqing, who is in his forties, gave him the first impression that he was old and sophisticated, and Liang Sansi gave him the first impression that he was generous and honest.

"Humble Du Weiqing, arrest the house quickly. ”

"Humble Liang Sansi, substitute catcher. ”

"Good. Lin Xi motioned for them to come in casually, then looked at Xu Jianling, and then said: "I said that you are not sincere enough, and you have not told the real reason at all, because the number of personnel under each town and department is to be assessed by the officials at the provincial level, and it is precisely because the population and complexity of Donggang Town far exceed that of the surrounding towns, so the number of people in Donggang Town is several more than that of other towns." If you say that the black oil and stone rats are not in the hands of Hong Siye, we can't control the arrest room at all, either you are incompetent, or you just want to mock the high-ranking officials who are blind. ”

"Since you said that there are Zhu Siye and they are in charge, usually among the ten cases in our arrest room, there are still seven cases caused by their people, which means that Zhu Siye and they are not in good control. ”

After a quiet pause, Lin Xi looked at Xu Jianling, whose face had begun to become more and more ugly, and said: "This shows even more that the law enforcement of the arrest house is not strict, or it is unfair! As long as the remuneration is good, even if the arrest room arrests a hundred people in a day, I don't know how many people will rush in to fill these people's vacancies! If others can't get in, I'm afraid it's because of Hong Siye's control, they won't be able to get in, right?"

Du Weiqing and Liang Sansi didn't know what had happened before, but when they heard Lin Xi's words at this moment, their foreheads and vests immediately broke out in a layer of cold sweat.

These words are sharp and true to the extreme, how can an ordinary bookrally who has been reading books for several years be able to tell!

The anger in Xu Jianling's heart was also suppressed by Lin Xi's words, and a chill kept coming out of his heart unconsciously, and he said strongly: "My lord, you have a point, but the truth is very complicated, and it is indeed not so simple. ”

"What I'm talking about is certainly not the most indirect real reason. ”

Lin Xi glanced at Xu Jianling, ignored Xu Jianling's words, and continued to say calmly: "You told me what kind of people Black Oil and Stone Mouse are, just to remind me that these people are very fierce, if we take care of it too much, they may deal with us." But you also know very well that this kind of indiscriminate gang, no matter how powerful it is, is only a bandit, and we can't arrest the house, as well as the town governor, and Yun Qin's army. When will Yun Qin's officials and Yun Qin's army be unable to control these indiscriminate gangs?"

"So you said you can't do it, in addition to not daring to do it, you just don't want to do it, you have a mouthful of Zhu Siye, you should usually be taken care of by this Zhu Siye, right?"

"Your Excellency, my lord, you are right. Hearing Lin Xi's repeated questions so ruthlessly, Xu Jianling couldn't hold back at all, looked at Lin Xi angrily, and said: "You just came here, you probably can't be afraid of Zhu Siye, but our family Xiaoquan is in Donggang Town, we have to scruples, we are also afraid of being beaten up, usually Zhu Siye does take care of a lot of people, like us, we are simply one of the little people who can't be on the stage." ”

After a quiet pause, Xu Jianling said sharply: "Do you know that there are only four of them, but why don't they call them Master Zhang, Second Master Zhu, Third Master Zhen and Fourth Master Liu, why do you just call Second Master Zhang, Fourth Master Zhu, Fifth Master Zhen and Liu Qiye? One life is worth one life, and it doesn't violate the laws of Yun Qin at all, but how many lives do you have?"

"There are people, there is money, there are backers. ”

Lin Xi smiled quietly, and turned his head to look at the old woman selling tofu and the others, as well as Du Weiqing and Liang Sansi, "So it seems that Xu Jianling is telling the truth?"

Du Weiqing hesitated, bowed again, and said, "Lord Lin, it's indeed the truth. ”

"Then why does Liu Tong want to trouble this mother-in-law?" Lin Xi nodded at the gray-haired old woman selling tofu, looked at Du Weiqing and said, "I don't want to listen to lies and nonsense. ”

Du Weiqing smiled bitterly and said: "Zhu Siye's concubine took a fancy to a small building in Linjiang, but the owner of the small building in Linjiang is an old man surnamed Mo who is in the tea business, and his temper is very stubborn, thinking that it is an ancestral property, but he refuses to sell it, and then Zhu Siye used some means, his tea business can't go on, so he rented half of it to this Grandma Liu, if Grandma Liu's business can't continue, the old man has cut off the rent, has no silver income, and is difficult to make a living, so he should only sell the small building." ”

After glancing at Grandma Liu, Du Weiqing continued: "Grandma Liu's son lost too much money in the tung oil business a few years ago, and as a result, he committed suicide by throwing himself into the river, and even the house in his family was taken away by the creditor. ”

"Is he telling the truth?" Lin Xi asked as he looked at the old man who was carrying two well-killed fish.

The old man and the others hesitated slightly, but they all nodded and said, "It's the truth." ”

"It seems that Zhu Siye is still a little measured in his work, and finally he didn't send someone to throw the old man into the river indirectly in the middle of the night, but it still took some brains and so many small means, it was really painstaking. Lin Xi glanced at Liu Tong and said.

Liu Tong grinned, feeling that the other party had softened, and said with a smile: "Fourth Master Zhu has always done things in a measured manner. ”

"But this load of tofu is likely to carry the lives of two people. ”

But Lin Xi's next sentence made his smile freeze on his face.

Lin Xi looked at him and said seriously, "He didn't think about it, what if he did this, what if others still didn't want to let out of Xiaolou?

"Your day is countless times better than theirs, but for some trivial preferences, you are forced to give up the ancestral building. This kind of behavior is really too much. ”

After a quiet pause, Lin Xi looked at Liu Tong and said, "Since he doesn't know how to manage you, I will take you back and let him come to see me, and I will tell him how to manage it." ”
