The news of Dakoujiu's death and the crackdown on gangsters naturally shocked the entire Yangzhou world and set off a storm.

In fact, for the vast majority of the people in Yangzhou City, this is a real big event like the earth falling apart. In comparison, things like the snow in April are just fun for everyone to watch.

Even the people in the city are talking about it. There are optimists and pessimists. No one can say whether this time is for real or just for show. But one thing is clear to everyone: Governor Yang is here.

It's going crazy!

Adding up only the members of the Zimen and Yizimen gangs, there are nearly 50,000 people. How can we really arrest all 50,000 people when we have done all we can to eradicate evil?

Not to mention whether these 50,000 people will be killed on the spot, whether it will turn into large-scale vandalism, smashing and looting in the end. If it really turns into large-scale vandalism, smashing and looting, the army will definitely be mobilized into the city. After the army enters the city, the army will

Will there be vandalism, smashing and looting, and whether the entire city of Yangzhou can function well without these more than 50,000 people.

Taking a step back, how can there be so many cells in Yangzhou City to hold 50,000 people?

What about other than these 50,000 people? Yangzhou City has a population of 1.7 million. Without these 50,000 people, wouldn’t everyone else be gangsters?

Therefore, everyone in Yangzhou generally knows that this thunderstorm will definitely not be able to arrest everyone as advertised. If the thunder is loud and the rain is small, shouting slogans and high-profile, then we must either arrest those without background, or arrest those who have no background.

With a big background.

As for whether this is a bad thing or a good thing for ordinary people, it's really hard to say.

But as the last political show of his tenure as Yangzhou Prefect, Prefect Yang boldly appointed Qiu Yan as the manager of the barracks. The old barracks directly took the blame and became the protector of the Huang family.

This is a serious court official, who has to submit materials to the Ministry of Civil Affairs for filing.

Although he is only an eighth-grade sesame official, in fact these small officials are the ones who really work directly with ordinary people. In fact, most of the big and small things in Yangzhou City are done by these small officials. They are the real

Parent Officer.

Qiu Yan had dared to accept the petition from Feixue's woman before. In the eyes of ordinary people, he was already a master of Qingtian, so he really had some expectations for this matter this time.

Everyone in the gang is even more in danger because there are so many gang members and no one knows whether they will be caught. In less than a day, the whole gang is about to turn into a mess.

If you are not careful, you can easily trigger a large-scale security incident.

Everyone wants to know, what are the standards for arresting people? Are they among the standards?

Again, no one believed that the Yamen would arrest them all. Besides, if everyone really believed that they should arrest them all, the city of Yangzhou would have been on fire a long time ago.

But Liu Dapao had been spending the whole day with Qiu Yan to discuss action plans and guidelines. By the way, he also got what he wanted from Magistrate Yang, the identity of a magistrate, and wanted to run away with him.

This code is not related to the book, but to the code that is being guarded. The general term among the people is the prison head. This is a serious official. Although he has little money, he pays his salary with public money, but the official

That is to say, the officials are organized. Compared with the bad commanders and money grabbers who have heavy powers and responsibilities but are not organized, Liu Dapao believes that this is already a great progress in the official career.

In other words, he is very busy, so busy that no one outside the yamen can find him.

Of course, this was also intentional. As the gang boss who single-handedly started the anti-crime storm, he really didn’t know what kind of attitude he should have when meeting his little brothers, and he was also afraid that the angry brothers would

Tear him alive.

There is nothing wrong with explaining to Qiu Yan and other people in the yamen that he just wanted to avoid suspicion.

Even the two sworn brothers Guo Jianglong and Du Mengdong couldn't see him. Du Mengdong was actually fine, but Guo Jianglong was really panicked.

He took the initiative to find Du Mengdong, who still looked as stable as a mountain, and said: "Third brother, I have tried every means to see my eldest brother. Can you see my eldest brother? You have to help me. I know that I have some things to do."

It's too much, but the three of us are good brothers who have our heads on the ground after all. You have to help me persuade my eldest brother, you have to give me a way to survive!"

Du Mengdong smiled bitterly and arranged for him to sit down, saying: "The second brother thinks highly of me, but I can't find the eldest brother."

"This...this...then what should I do? Now, each of my brothers has come to ask me how to deal with this storm. I can't explain it to the superiors or the subordinates. Brother, he

What is this going to do? Are you really going to force me to death? Will the Yizi Sect be disbanded from now on?

Third brother, if you have any idea, you can send a message to your eldest brother, saying, I made a mistake in crossing the river, I admit it, but brothers are now in panic, and I will soon be unable to suppress it. If this fire breaks out, we will

If everyone is really desperate, I can do anything!

I'm not afraid to tell him that chaos has begun on the other side of Hezimen. Although Dakoujiu is dead, six of their top ten hall masters have already come to find me. It's a desperate situation and no one can survive.

!”

Du Mengdong laughed when he heard this and said: "Second brother, you are not as exaggerated as you think. Can the eldest brother really uproot our Yizi sect? Check yourself? There is no such truth in this world."

"Then he should give an accurate message! If you don't mention this, who can still be calm~!"

"Second brother, come, sit down, have a cup of tea, take a breath, don't be so impatient. In fact, the eldest brother has already made it very clear in the official document. What do you want him to say? Sometimes,

You also have to understand Big Brother’s difficulties, and there are some things you have to realize on your own.”

"I, realize it myself? What do you mean, third brother, are you saying that there is another mystery to this anti-crime storm?"

"Of course there is another mystery. The eldest brother's current methods have become more and more sophisticated, and the eldest brother's status is also getting higher and higher. Slowly, methods similar to this kind of officialdom will only become more and more sophisticated.

The more you come, the more you have to learn to appreciate the meaning behind the words."

After hearing this, Dragon Crossing the River was not angry but happy, and said happily: "It's true, there is a mystery. Good third brother, tell it to the second brother quickly. The second brother is a rough man. He can't come with the tricks like you and the eldest brother.

Is this anti-crime storm still a good thing for our Yizimen?"

"Of course it's a good thing. This is a great good thing."

"What's so good about it?"

"Have you read the official document of Operation Thunder in this anti-crime storm?"

"I saw it."

"Have you read it? Does it say that we should focus on cracking down on organized crime and underworld activities?"

"Yes, that's why the brothers are panicking."

"Then, second brother, tell me, what is a gang?"

"What is a gang? Aren't we just gangs?"

"Second brother, I don't dare to say this nonsense. I mean, what is a gangster in the legal sense?"

"A gangster in the legal sense? Is there something else that can be said here?"

"Hey~, second brother, we've gotten to this point, why don't we still learn the law? Then you have to memorize the laws of Zhou."

Hearing this, Dragon Crossing the River laughed and said: "Good third brother, I'm wrong. I'll read books and study the law when I get back. Now the world is stable. If you don't learn the law, it's really not enough to just fight and kill. Tell me quickly."

explain."

"According to the laws of Dazhou, a gangster must have the following four conditions at the same time."

"First, form a relatively stable criminal organization with a large number of people, a clear organizer, a leader, and basically determined key members."

“2. Organize to obtain economic benefits through illegal and criminal activities or other means, and have certain economic strength to support the activities of the organization.”

"3. Using violence, threats or other means to carry out illegal and criminal activities in an organized manner for many times, committing evil acts, oppressing and harming people."

“4. By committing illegal and criminal activities, or by taking advantage of the cover, connivance, and dominance of court officials, they form illegal control or significant influence in a certain area or industry, seriously damaging the economy and social life order.”

"Second brother, pay attention to the important point. This requirement needs to be met at the same time. Only if these four points are met at the same time can you be called a gangster."

Hearing this, Guojiang Long lowered his head and thought for a long time, then asked: "Which of our Yizi Sect does not meet this recognition standard?"

"Of course, we don't meet the first requirement."

"A relatively stable criminal organization has been formed, with a larger number of people, a clear organizer, a leader, and the key members are basically determined?"

"right."

"What's wrong with it?"

"Who is the leader of Yizimen?"

"yes, Sir?"

"Brother, can you catch me?"

"No, Qiu Yan will not arrest the eldest brother, and it is even less possible for the eldest brother to arrest himself. Da Koujiu is already dead. If the eldest brother is arrested again, coupled with the comprehensive crackdown on gangs, Yangzhou will definitely be in chaos. Governor Yang wants to leave now

I tried to save myself some reputation before, not to leave a mess."

"So, who is our organizer?"

"We...we don't have an organizer? So, we don't comply with this rule?"

"Yes, if Qiu Yan really arrests you and me in the future, falsely accusing us of being gangsters, then arrest him to death and confront him in court. As long as the eldest brother doesn't get involved, this one will not hold true. To take a step back, even if it doesn't happen

We also don’t meet the big brother factor.”

"Why is this?"

"The key point is the four words of fixed organization. Who can prove that our Yizimen has a fixed organization? How to define the method of this organization? What killed us is nothing more than three brothers who are better at playing.

You guys and I are friends, why do you think we are organized? Where is the evidence? To insist that we are gangsters is called a presumption of guilt, which is not in line with our basic judicial spirit of never suspecting a crime."

When the dragon crossing the river heard the words, he was thoughtful.

"The so-called evidence... is nothing more than the roster. In other words, as long as the rosters in the hands of the three of us are not lost, the so-called organized words will never be proven?"

"Yes, that's the truth. So in front of the law, we are not a gang. If we really want to characterize it, it is called a gang. The concept of a gang itself is not included in sentencing."

At this time, even Guo Jianglong found it unbelievable and said with a look of disbelief: "Why, our Yizi Sect is not a gangster, so are there gangs in Yangzhou City or even the entire Zhou Dynasty? Then this anti-gangster storm sweeper

Who is it?"

Du Mengdong smiled and said: "Of course there are gangs. How can there be no gangs? Second brother, you usually collect protection fees or watch the scenes for others."

"Isn't this nonsense?"

"When you receive protection money and get a job from a larger workshop, goods store, or store with no background, you usually just join the job and become a registered clerk, or simply a security guard."

"Yes, isn't that just for the convenience of doing things?"

"So the owners of those goods stores, workshops, and shops are the bosses of the gang! This is a real gang organization!"

"Why??????"

"Look, the first one is that they have a fixed organization and relatively fixed key members. This is clearly registered in the Yamen, so you can't rely on it even if you want."

"Article 2: Obtain certain benefits through illegal means. Your people can help others watch the scene and beat them. Have some members done illegal things? These bosses must be rich and have certain financial strength.

.”

"Article 3: How many rich people have never done this to oppress the people through illegal means? Even if they didn't do it, if you did, can you blame them?"

"Fourth, if you dominate one party or have a certain influence in the industry, you can't go wrong by picking the big one."

"…………"

"So in this crackdown on gangsters, you go back and talk to the brothers. Those who have a fixed place, employment, and affiliations. If they are caught, they will confess and recruit the boss who hired them. These are gangsters.

The leader, I can’t deny it.”

"The space in the cell is limited. Since the brothers have confessed to their boss, does it count as a major meritorious service? Should they be sentenced lightly or acquitted? Are the shops of those shopkeepers illegal properties that need to be confiscated? After confiscation,

Is it going to be auctioned? Then do you think we are the most suitable buyer if we want to buy it? "

Dragon Crossing the River felt that his world view had collapsed: "What's the so-called crackdown on gangsters? None of us who are really gangsters have to go in, but we can still take advantage of this opportunity to plunder and grow stronger?"

"Yeah, what do you think?"

"Oh~, it turns out that this is the meaning of cracking down on gangsters."

"Tell me, brother, can he clearly explain this calculation? Is it necessary to avoid suspicion?"

"Yes, you really need to avoid suspicion."

"Second brother, are you the owner of your casino, tooth shop, and flower boat in name?"

"No, some are cooperating with other shopkeepers, and I just help to look after the business. Some, such as the business of the dental shop, are all under the name of the eldest brother. In fact, strictly speaking, I actually do it myself, and I even take the initiative to break the law.

There are really not many things going on, most of them, including the Meng family a while ago, are doing it to collect money from the public, and there is no way to lift the lid."

"So, second brother, your problem is not big. Of course, you still have to suffer some losses. You have to be prepared, especially some of the things you do are indeed quite excessive sometimes. You have to bear some losses."

Prepare scapegoats, there must be a large part of your brothers who still can't shirk them."

"However, this is not a bad thing for us, because on the Hezimen side, as far as I know, at least four of the ten hall masters can strictly comply with the four laws because they open their own shops.

.They are also more messy than us, and sometimes they are not so particular in their work. There are many more violations of law and discipline than us, and there is much more evidence left behind."
