Chapter 40: Liwei (1)
When he got up from the soft big bed, Jiang Yuan yawned and stretched happily.
He rubbed his eyes and looked out the window, it was still dark.
"I'm so annoyed, I really don't want to go to work!"
The hour is approaching, and he has to go to the county government to point Mao.
After returning from the banquet last night, he lived in the mansion sent by the Great River.
I have to say that the Dahe Gang is thoughtful, and everything in this house has been settled, and it is simply a bag to move in. Even, there is a young and beautiful maid.
The uniform was burned last night, and before he could get a new one, Jiang Yuan could only wear civilian clothes and go out of the bedroom.
was greeted by a girl holding a copper basin.
The girl was about sixteen or seventeen years old, dressed in a long blue dress, as tender as a hibiscus out of water.
She placed the brand-new towel on the edge of the copper basin and said respectfully:
"Master, the flower crab porridge has been boiled, and it can be eaten after washing. ”
Jiang Yuan yawned again and said slowly:
"Xiaolian, get up so early? Oh yes, don't call me 'master', I'm old. If you want to call me, just call me 'Young Master'. ”
The girl's name is Yu Xiaolian, and she is the maid who the Dahe Gang has arranged for herself.
Jiang Yuan didn't know if everyone here liked to name themselves with plants, first he met a Sun Xiaohe, and now he met a Yu Xiaolian.
Xiaolian was stunned when she heard Jiang Yuan's words, Jiang Yuan had no relatives, and it was not at all appropriate to call him "Young Master". After a moment's thought, she replied:
"The slave knows, my lord. ”
After finishing speaking, Xiaolian respectfully retreated, she still did not choose to be called "young master", but chose another equally suitable title "adult".
Jiang Yuan shrugged, and then began to wash up.
Xiaolian was arranged by the Dahe Gang, whether it was really used to serve herself, or to monitor herself, Jiang Yuan didn't mind.
If the Dahe Gang is at peace with him in the future, then many beauties are at home, which is also pleasing to the eye.
If the Dahe Gang dares to oppose themselves in the future, then if this Xiaolian dares to move, he will be killed at that time.
After washing, he went back to the hall. In the white porcelain bowl on the dining table, the fragrant flower crab porridge is crystal clear.
Jiang Yuan drank the porridge slowly, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart:
"That's life!"
After everything was taken care of, Jiang Yuan went out and walked towards the county office.
The sky had already begun to turn white, and it wouldn't be long before dawn, Jiang Yuan couldn't help but speed up his pace.
In the dawn of the city, there are few pedestrians. Some of the roadside food shops are open, but many more are still closed.
Early in the morning, Jiang Yuan was in a very good mood, and on the way, he met the officials and officials who went to the county government together, and they all greeted each other.
After coming to the county office, Zhou Cunjian explained to Jiang Yuan the work of the fast catchers today, and then Jiang Yuan assigned them to each fast catcher when he was ordered.
At the same time, Jiang Yuan also expressed his condolences to the group of arresters for yesterday's sacrifice in the line of duty, and said that he would definitely attend his funeral.
After that, there were some trivial matters, and after basically dealing with them, Zhou Cunjian found himself and said that the prison envoy invited him to the dinner.
After Jiang Yuan asked clearly what the "Star Guardian Envoy" was, he was not surprised.
He killed the insect yesterday, which is bound to attract the attention of the real big people behind the scenes in Yangcheng.
In this chaotic world where demons are rampant, Yangcheng can maintain stability and prosperity, and it will not just rely on the rice buckets of the night guards.
"One more thing," Zhou Cunjian continued, "Jiang Zhutou, I remember that you are from Taiping Town, right?"
Jiang Yuan nodded: "That's right." ”
Zhou Cunjian sighed and said:
"So do Jiang Zhutou's family still have relatives left in Taiping Town?"
Jiang Yuan only thought that he was getting to the bottom again, so he answered nine truths and one falsehood, which was very detailed:
"And my cousin's family relatives, their surname is Su. My cousin also has a daughter named Su Yan, who works in a dyeing workshop in the southeast of the town. ”
Zhou Cunjian was silent for a while and said:
"Jiang Catcher Head Festival mourns...... The news of Taiping Town had come last night, the entire town had been destroyed, and the officers and soldiers searched all over Taiping Town, but no one was found to survive. I'm afraid your cousin's family will ...... too."
Jiang Yuan had known about this for a long time, but at this time he still pretended to be sad and said:
"How so...... Originally, I planned to wait until the plague passed, and then bring my cousin's family to Yangcheng to live a good life......"
I only heard Zhou Cunjian continue:
"Now that Taiping Town is in ruins, the county magistrate has issued a decree to recruit people in the villages around Tianping Town to clean up the ruins and open roads. The night guards will also send people to find out if there are demons and protect the people. And catch this side ......"
After a pause, Zhou Cunjian said:
"I originally planned to shoot Wang Li to maintain order, his daughter-in-law's house is in a village near Taiping Town, and she is familiar with the local area...... And Jiang Zhutou was originally from Taiping Town, and he also had relatives who were kept......"
Jiang Yuan remembered that when he rescued Wang Li's family, it coincided with the blockade of Taiping Town, and Wang Li's daughter-in-law Wang Li was at her mother's house with her children, so Wang Li was worried that his wife and children would drive to pick him up, so he met Jiang Yuan in Yeting.
Jiang Yuan was generally clear about what happened in Taiping Town, and as for the specific reason, Jiang Yuan would not rush to ask.
Only with the continuous improvement of one's own strength and status can one get access to some core secrets. Otherwise, even if you ask now, you won't get much of value.
And he didn't plan to deal with anything to maintain order at all, how good it was to stay in Yangcheng.
So Jiang Yuan wiped the corners of his eyes and said in a mournful voice:
"The dead are gone, and the living are like this. Now the matter of living people is the most important, although my heart is unbearable, but I also know that my duty is in my body, and I dare not slack off! ”
Zhou Cunjian was at the time of employing people, and he didn't want to let Jiang Yuan leave like this. When he heard Jiang Yuan say this, he immediately made up his mind.
Afterwards, Jiang Yuan dispatched some catchers from the chiefs and handed them over to Wang Li to lead the team to Tianping Town to maintain law and order.
After all the chores were taken care of, it was almost noon.
Jiang Yuan had nothing to do, so he took Xiao Liu and Hong Kun around the city, and before they knew it, the three of them turned to the door of a gambling house.
There were already some people around the door of the gambling house, and I saw four or five big men beating a middle-aged man. The middle-aged man curled up on the ground with his head in his hands, snorting twice, his head was bleeding and he was not embarrassed.
The surrounding onlookers only dared to look at each other in a hurry, and did not dare to get close to the onlookers.
I saw a big man take out a sharp knife from his waist and said coldly to the middle-aged man on the ground:
"You owe us money from the prosperous gambling house, and you dare not pay it back on time! Take one of your palms today, and if you don't pay back tomorrow, we will sell your daughter to the kiln!"
After finishing speaking, the big man stepped on the middle-aged man's wrist and cut off his entire palm with a sharp knife.
"Ah——!h
The middle-aged man screamed in pain, struggling desperately, but was firmly held down by several other big men.
Since ancient times, there have been many rights and wrongs in the gambling house, and since he bumped into it, Jiang Yuan would not treat it as if he didn't see it:
"I saw and heard, when I committed murder on the street, I still want to force Liang to become a prostitute? The sixth son, bring these people back to the yamen, and those who are wronged will sue for their grievances, and those who are not wronged will lose money. ”
Xiao Liu was about to step forward, but was stopped by Hong Kun on the side.
I only heard Hong Kun lower his voice and said to Jiang Yuan:
"Jiang Zhutou, these are the people of the Big River Gang......"
"Presumptuous!" Jiang Yuan said angrily, "This Yangcheng is safe, I have the final say, or is it the Dahe Gang that has the final say?"
Hong Kun shrunk his neck and suddenly didn't dare to speak.
He wanted to think that Jiang Yuan had taken over the house of the Dahe Gang and lived in it, so he would open up to the Dahe Gang. Unexpectedly, it seemed to be far from what I imagined.
Xiao Liu saw that Jiang Yuan was angry, and immediately hurriedly stepped forward and shouted at the hurried big man.
A few of them were quite unconvinced, but they were beaten by Xiao Liu of the Body Refining Realm.
Jiang Yuan looked at everything coldly, and said slowly:
"I've been a catcher for two days, and I'm not too busy dealing with personnel to deal with ghosts. I happened to be free today, so we solved it together. Hong Kun, you go and call all the gang leaders in Yangcheng to the torture room for a meeting within half an hour!"
Hong Kun was still a little hesitant, but Jiang Yuan had already turned his head and left.
Back at the county office, Jiang Yuan came to the archives and flipped through the files of the cases committed by gangs in Yangcheng over the years.
After hurriedly browsing a part, Jiang Yuan narrowed his eyes and said:
"Sure enough, it's a lawless world, so many serious cases have not been dealt with, and the gangs in Yangcheng should be killed!"
Beneath the surface prosperity of Yang City, there is a biting darkness.
Every year, there are hundreds of homicides alone, not including disappearances. Most of this was done by the Great River. In addition, human trafficking, forcing good people to become prostitutes, cunning and robbery, and extortion are countless.
Jiang Yuan didn't want to stand up for justice, but if there were gangs that didn't obey him, he didn't mind using these tricks to eliminate them.
Time was in a hurry, and half an hour was coming soon.
In the small courtyard of the torture room, many people have gathered.
Jiang Yuan sat on a rattan chair, surrounded by a crowd of people.
Standing in the courtyard are several men in luxurious costumes but with a strong sense of the rivers and lakes.
Some of them are cold-eyed and disdainful, while others are smiling with gifts in their hands.
I only heard Hong Kun constantly introduce to Jiang Yuan on the side:
"This one is Jin Biao of the Giant Shark Gang, the leader of the Jin Gang. ”
"This one is Tie Gang of the Iron Knife Gang, the leader of the Iron Gang. ”
"And this one, it's—"
Jiang Yuan waved his hand to stop Hong Kun's words and asked:
"What about Di Xudong, the leader of the Great River Gang?"
Hong Kun looked embarrassed and said in a slur manner:
"Gang Master Di has something, now in Fengxiang Villa, I'm afraid I won't be able to come......"
Jiang Yuan snorted coldly:
"I just don't want to come!"
This Di Xudong deliberately did not give Jiang Yuan face, and Jiang Yuan would never be polite to him.
He pointed to several gang leaders in the courtyard and said:
"A few of you, come with me to Fengxiang Villa, I want to see how big that Di Xudong is!"
As soon as Jiang Yuan's words fell, the faces of several gang leaders changed drastically.
It seems that this new head catcher is going to be against the Big River Gang, and several gang leaders are unwilling to stand on the side of the new head catcher who is not familiar with it.
Di Xudong, the leader of the Dahe Gang, has been known as the number one master in Yangcheng in recent years, and the gang under his command is even more brave and fierce. On weekdays, if the county commander wants to see him, he has to report it in advance, and even the county lieutenant Zhou Cunjian has to give three points to Di Xudong.
If this new head catcher really clashed with the Dahe Gang, then maybe this Yang City would change the sky.
Immediately, I saw Jin Biao, the leader of the Giant Shark Gang, step forward, clasped his fists at Jiang Yuan and said:
"Jiang Zhutou, I still have important things to deal with in the next gang, please let me leave first. ”
Jiang Yuan stood up from the rattan chair and came to Jin Biao:
"You're leaving?"
Jin Biao replied:
"Forgive me, it's really important-"
Before he finished speaking, Jiang Yuan had already slapped out.
"Phew!"
Jin Biao's whole body was slapped to the ground, and he rolled his eyes and fainted.
Everyone was instantly startled, Jin Biao was a martial artist in the Tongli realm, and he was stunned with a slap, so what kind of realm did this new head catcher reach?
Stunned, the rest of the gang leaders hurriedly stepped forward, shaking and pinching people, and it took a while to wake Jin Biao up.
Jiang Yuan continued to ask:
"What did you just say, Gang Leader Jin? ”
At this time, half of Jin Biao's face was still high and swollen, he spit out a tooth from his mouth, bowed his head and replied:
"Under ...... Willing to walk with Jiang Zhutou ......"
The rest of the gang leaders looked at each other, and then said:
"We're the same!"
Jiang Yuan laughed, and then instructed Xiao Liu:
"Gather all the catchers in the city and go to Fengxiang Villa with me!"
