The bear child of the Red Chamber, Jia Cong

Su Cheng reminded that the old man surnamed Lu was a killer pimp, the corner of Jia Cong's mouth twisted: it turned out to be a bridge between officials and gangsters.Since he often went to various countries to buy people for sale by officials, it was easy to buy relatives for others, or buy relatives of enemies for revenge.Using this as a cover to secretly pimp for the killer, probably many of the clients are officials.Jia Cong unconsciously said, "How did this old man Lu survive until now? Why do I feel that something is wrong?"

Chen Ruijin also asked casually: "What's wrong?"

Jia Cong said: "It's inevitable that such a person has the shortcomings of many high-ranking officials. The theory is that he should keep a low profile. This guy actually ran to the gate of the magistrate's office to make trouble? With such an arrogant temper, how could he live to this age? Was silenced?" His voice was not low, and the old man obviously heard it, and his face changed.

Su Cheng poked his head out from behind Chen Ruijin: "Hey, are they still suing?"

Jia Cong said: "You are stupid! People are obviously here to make trouble, not to litigate." But he ordered the guards, "The two leaders who made trouble have been arrested."

The four guards went straight to the two senior chairs, and the expressions of the two changed.The dwarf stood up, and said to Su Tao, "Lord Su, I am the plaintiff." Su Tao just said "Oh" and that's all.

The two guards walked up to the dwarf in the blink of an eye, and a tall and thin man jumped out from behind the dwarf and stopped them, opening his mouth to speak.Hearing a "bang" gunshot, the man was shot in the forehead and died on the spot without saying a word.Amazed.The guards turned a blind eye, took advantage of the dwarf's stunned opportunity to grab him, wiped his shoulders and folded his arms and pushed him towards the gate of the yamen.

Another skinny man yelled "Aww" and jumped out with his knife raised: "I'll fight with you!" Before he finished speaking, he jumped behind a guard.The guard never looked back.Seeing the knife in the thin man's hand slashing at his neck, he suddenly kicked the knife with his leg and kicked the knife away; at the same time, his hand trembled, and the flying knife hit the thin man's throat.The thin man looked shocked, his eyes were rounded, and his body seemed to be rushing forward.The guard pulled out the throwing knife while the skinny man was falling towards him, held it in his hand, and quickly took two steps back to avoid the blood splashing on him; the corpse fell down with a "plop".The other guard continued to walk on the headed dwarf as if nothing happened, without even shaking his eyelids.

It was almost noon now, and the gate of the yamen was as silent as midnight, even the wind was silent.Seeing that two people died in a row, the old man Lu was so frightened that he stood up obediently and said to the two guards in front of him: "Go by yourself, go by yourself!"

Not long after, both of them came to Su Tao.As soon as the guards pressed the shoulders of the two of them, they all knelt down obediently.Jia Cong and the others dodged aside.Su Tao had thugs by his side, and he was much more energetic. He looked at the two of them and said, "If you disturb the court, each will hit [-] blows first."

Those yamen servants hurried over: "My lord, let's fight!" Su Tao was speechless.

The yamen servant ran inside and carried the board out.Su Tao nodded: "Thank you for helping to move the board." He looked at the guards brought by Jia Cong.

The guard stepped forward to pick up the board.There was a yamen servant who didn't want to give it to him, so he held on to the board tightly; when the guard grabbed it lightly, the board was released from his hands, and the yamen servant almost fell.These guards are the elites of the special battalion of the Taiwan government, and they lack strength for everything.So he evened the two of them, picked up the board and hit them.When the first board went down, the old man Lu howled like killing a pig, but the dwarf gritted his teeth fiercely and remained silent.There was a yamen servant who was clever and counted loudly.When No.20 was hit twice, the dwarf couldn't help but screamed.After the fifty big boards were played, the two majestic and majestic just now were like dogs in the water, unable to move.

Jia Cong smiled and said, "It's too late for you two to confess who sent you here. If you don't say anything else, it's too late."

The 20 or so fighters at the beginning stopped fighting and went back to their accomplices.Among the short boys, a man who had just started a fight shouted loudly: "We are the plaintiffs! The old man can't help but say that he hit the plaintiff first, so there is no reason!" Someone in the crowd responded immediately.

Su Tao pointed at him and said, "Catch him!"

Two guards went straight to grab him.The man screamed and swung his fist at a guard, who raised his hand to grab his wrist; the man withdrew his fist and turned around, raised his leg and swept towards the guard's lower body.This person moved very fast, he was about to kick the guard's ankle; suddenly he stopped his feet and jumped up, shouting: "A stab in the back is a man!"

Chen Ruijin smiled sweetly: "I'm not a real man."

The man sneered and said: "Sure enough, the most poisonous one is the woman!" Nai stood upright and looked at the two guards, "I want to see what you have to catch me."

The guard was about to step forward, Chen Ruijin said: "You two dodge aside." She Shi Shi ran out and said, "Let the woman catch him." The two guards immediately avoided and looked at the man sympathetically.

The man rolled his eyes, seeing that Chen Ruijin was about to come, he said: "Forget it, good men don't fight with women."

Chen Ruijin smiled and said, "You're welcome, you can try to escape."

The man really wanted to run away from the crowd, but Chen Ruijin chased after him in a few steps.The man turned around and slashed obliquely, a dagger was already in his hand.Chen Ruijin had quick eyes and quick hands, pinched his wrist and twisted it, the man took a deep breath in pain.Chen Ruijin glanced at the dagger and said: "Men are more poisonous than women. How dare you use such a bright and poisoned weapon in front of an expert?" Then he pulled the man's neck, unloaded his shoulder joints and threw it to him. Two guards, "Bring it to your lord." The guard agreed.

Chen Ruijin jumped up again, stepped on a dozen heads and landed on one.The man yelled "Ouch", and the people around him forcibly dodged and made way for a circle.Chen Ruijin landed on the ground, took out the handcuffs from his sleeves and handcuffed him, tilted his head slightly: "Let's go." The man kept calling for grievances.Chen Ruijin said, "Aren't you the one who agreed with that one just now?"

The man said: "The villain just yelled."

Chen Ruijin said: "You have to ask a question even if you call out to the master. Who knows if you have been ordered by someone to make trouble?" He gestured over again.The man had no choice but to follow behind and move towards the Yamen step by step.The people in front didn't want to be trampled on their heads again, so they all obediently gave way.

The two of them arrived in front of Su Tao, Chen Ruijin pointed to the man whose arm had been removed, and said: "This man is highly skilled in martial arts. The dozen or so people who fought against him just now were either flamboyant fists and embroidered legs or tricks. If he uses his real skills, It doesn't take a cup of tea to kill them all."

Su Tao stroked his beard and said, "He has injuries all over his body and face. So, he was just pretending to be doing boxing, embroidering legs, and crop handles?"

"good."

Su Tao nodded: "I thought what happened today was just the two of them picking quarrels and provoking trouble, so there is another mystery behind it."

The dwarf who was lying on the ground and couldn't get up shouted: "My lord! The villain doesn't know that this man is very skilled in martial arts!"

Su Tao said "oh", "Did you know now?"

The dwarf struggled to stand up, knelt down and said, "The villain is wronged."

Su Tao asked, "You said you came to sue?"

"Yes! The villain is here to sue."

"What's the report?"

The dwarf kowtowed and said: "This surnamed Lu partnered with the villain to open a restaurant six years ago. It was agreed that the villain would become a shareholder and he would send someone to take care of it. Now the villain doesn't want to partner with him and wants to get back the money. He unexpectedly Said, only the villain's principal can be returned."

Su Tao asked old man Lu: "Is what he said true?"

Old man Lu said: "No, it wasn't agreed that he would invest in the shares and the old man would take care of it. He originally said that he would run the business together. Who knows that he never asked about the restaurant, and he paid a lot of dividends for nothing."

Su Tao said: "That's easy. You always wrote paperwork, just fetch it and check it."

Old man Lu said: "The superiors never wrote about this."

Su Tao said: "Since he doesn't care about everything, why didn't you break up with him earlier?"

The old man Lu said: "After all, we are old friends for many years, so we can't get in the way. It's just a little bit of money left over from him."

"Why are you getting in the way again?"

"To tell you the truth." Old man Lu said, "Business is not doing well recently, and the little old man doesn't have much spare money to spend on irrelevant people."

Jia Cong couldn't help but interjected: "If you have written evidence, give it to you. If you don't have written evidence, don't talk nonsense. The government only recognizes written evidence." Su Tao and Chen Ruijin all glanced at him, and Jia Cong shrank his neck and ducked behind.

Su Tao thought for a moment and said, "It's not difficult to do so. Since you have assigned someone to manage the restaurant, the shopkeeper must have a salary."

Old man Lu said: "The shopkeeper's salary is very low, he just does it for the sake of my old man's face, it has nothing to do with him."

Su Tao said with a half-smile, "Since the business of the restaurant is good, why don't you give the shopkeeper a raise?"

Old man Lu said: "To tell you the truth, the business of the restaurant is mediocre."

"Since the business is mediocre, it must not be worth a lot of money." Su Tao narrowed his eyes slightly, "Dong Lu's family has a lot of money, and he just wants to go to court with someone for a restaurant that is 'not worth a lot of money', so he has time to spare." He After a pause, "Which restaurant is it? It seems that the officer has to check it out."

The dwarf shouted first: "It's the Changfeng Building under the Shengjin Pagoda!"

Su Tao nodded: "I'll make a decision after I have checked Changfeng Building." Nai flicked his sleeves, "Leave the hall!" He turned and went in.

Several yamen servants shouted: "Wei——Wu——"

A yamen servant chased after Su Tao and shouted: "My lord, where are these two people who were arrested just now?" Chen Ruijin took a fixed look at the yamen servant, making him shiver.

Su Tao didn't turn his head back and said: "Take the prison." Two guards escorted the two men into the Yamen, Jia Cong smiled and waved to everyone outside and followed Su Tao, and the rest followed suit.The two yamen servants closed the gate, and the two groups of people outside stepped forward to help the boss who was immobilized by the fifty big boards.

In the lobby, Su Tao sat down and sighed, "Cong'er, you came in time."

Jia Cong frowned and said, "Didn't King Yan prepare soldiers to help you? How can you deal with these people with bare hands?"

Su Tao shook his head: "Jiangxi has been plagued by bandits for a long time, and it will not be over for a while. King Yan's people are suppressing bandits everywhere, so there is no one to spare me."

Jia Cong asked, "What's the matter with the yamen servant?"

Su Tao smiled wryly and said, "I don't obey my orders. I have already changed three batches."

Jia Cong thought to himself, "Uncle Lin and I passed through Nanchang Mansion in the early years, and then Xie Jing was the magistrate. Although Jiangxi is full of bandits, Nanchang Mansion is safe, and the government servants are normal."

Su Tao waved his hand and said, "The first yamen servants left behind by Mr. Xie are all like uncles, and they are even more helpless."

Su Cheng added from the side: "Those people keep their faces dark every day, and they just say thank you sir, thank you sir."

Su Tao's face darkened immediately, and he shouted: "Cheng'er! Who told you to escape!" Su Cheng hurriedly hid behind Chen Ruijin again.Su Tao stared at his daughter, "I'll deal with you later, go back!"

Jia Cong smiled and said, "She's smart, so it's okay to let her listen."

Su Tao was annoyed: "Don't you think I don't know? You and Huan'er are used to her lawlessness!"

Jia Cong cupped his hands: "Yes, yes, yes! Both of us are used to it. There is nothing wrong with Mr. Su and Mrs. Su. Mr. Su and Mrs. Su are not used to her!" Su Tao choked, and Su Cheng buried his small face in Chen Ruijin Smile on the back.

Chen Ruijin hastily changed the subject: "When Xie Jing was in Jiangxi, he collected a lot of illegal taxes on the Green Forest Road. Presumably his yamen servants also took money."

Su Tao was taken aback for a moment: "Is there such a thing?"

"You don't know?" Jia Cong and Chen Ruijin looked at each other and asked, "Did no one tell you?"

Su Tao said: "I know that Mr. Xie Jing will inevitably have ties with the people of the Green Forest. I never thought that he would openly collect black taxes."

Jia Cong clapped the case: "It's mine, isn't it? Just assume that someone must have told the brother. Just now you said that Lu Dong's family pimped the killer, and Xie Jing also collected taxes from this business, even the killer's tax. That The people under Shorty's subordinates all have the atmosphere of the green forest, I don't believe that the Changfeng Building they are cooperating with is just a restaurant!"

Su Cheng poked his head out from behind Chen Ruijin: "One is a man who raises green forests, and the other is a pimp for killers. That restaurant is probably doing murder deals."

When Su Tao was about to reprimand him, Jia Cong asked first, "Then why are they dismantling the gang? They are not bandits. Besides, if the dismantling of gangsters does not go smoothly, they should choose a place where there are few people. Fighting in groups to solve this matter, how can there be a lawsuit in the Yamen!"

"That's right." Chen Ruijin pondered, "Only this one is weird. Other than that, it's all about ordinary green forest affairs. The two can't agree, and each of them brings their horses and horses to fight with real swords and guns. Whoever wins is the one who wins. One place is right."

Su Tao said: "I deliberately chose to call at the gate of the yamen, it's nothing more than to show me."

Su Cheng poked his head out again: "What are you calling my father for? Could it be possible to scare my father away? What are they doing as court officials?"

Chen Ruijin said: "Where are the two who are making a fuss? Brother, let's interrogate. The one who pretends to be mediocre in martial arts must have something to do with the people behind the scenes."

Jia Cong said: "That person, Ruijin, please help to interrogate him. I'm afraid this person has a history, and senior officials like senior brothers may not be able to deal with it."

Su Tao was annoyed: "I have been an official for twenty years, how many thieves and criminals have I dealt with!"

Jia Cong hurriedly laughed and said, "I don't mean that, little brother! That person may have received some special training. Senior brother seldom comes into contact with this kind of prisoner. Ruijin is more experienced..."

Before he finished speaking, a yamen servant shouted, "It's not good~~My lord~~It's not good~~" ran up to the hall with a plop, knelt down and shouted, "My lord! The two prisoners who were arrested just now are dead! "
