Zhao Hanlu immediately shook his head and said in a strong tone, "Chang Xu did a good job in hunting this time. Although something went wrong, he only lost five thousand taels of silver. The gang still made money, so let's just balance the merits and demerits."
"Niece, you are too young. There are many things that you cannot just look at. That Mr. Niu just didn't say to spare Chang Xu and others."
Deng Yuchun shook his head and sighed, "If we don't punish them, who knows if Mr. Niu will be dissatisfied with our Zuoshan Gang. We are no better than the Black Humen and Zhuqing Gang. How many people are staring at our little foundation. If we are not careful, it may be overthrown."
What a worry!"
"I have made up my mind. This matter is over. As for Master Niu, I will deal with it, so I don't need to worry about the deputy gang leader."
After Zhao Hanlu finished speaking, she turned around and walked towards the door without giving anyone else a chance to speak.
A scarred man standing behind Deng Yuchun showed a trace of irritation, stepped forward and whispered: "Dad, what should we do? If we let the person named Zhao hook up with the county captain, all our previous efforts will be in vain!"
Deng Yuchun closed his eyes and was silent for a while, then slowly opened his mouth and gave some instructions to the scar-faced man.
At night, when Niu Xiaosheng's family was immersed in the joy of making a huge sum of five thousand taels, a government servant suddenly ran up and informed them that the medicine shop was on fire.
The family was immediately shocked. The drug store was their main source of income, and there were a lot of medicinal materials stored in the house at the back. So they hurried to the drug store following the government servant who reported the news.
Because it was discovered in time, the fire did not burn for long before it was put out. It did not affect the herbs stored in the backyard, so the loss was not too great.
"Who did it? Have you caught the person who set the fire?"
Niu Gen asked the yamen servant, the Niu family has always been kind to others, but who has such a big hatred against them?
"As I said to Mr. Niu Er, he has been caught. Now Capt. Xing is leading people to arrest the person behind the scenes. There should be news soon."
"That's good, that's good."
Niu Gen breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, his fourth brother became a county lieutenant. Otherwise, those detectives would not have been able to work so efficiently. The case might have been closed in a confused manner and all the losses would have to be borne by himself.
······
Zoushan Gang.
A large group of green-clad detectives stormed in from outside.
"Xing Captou, why are you doing this?"
The steward of the gang came out quickly, stretched out his hand and stuffed a few banknotes into the hands of the head catcher, Xingke.
Xing Ke stuffed the banknotes into his belt without leaving any trace, and took out a document with an official seal, "I have been ordered to arrest the arsonist. Everyone else, please get out of the way, otherwise you will be treated as an accomplice!"
"What? Arsonist? Mr. Xing, there must be some misunderstanding!"
The steward was horrified. He was convicted of arson in Chu State, and his hands were cut off and tattooed, and his head was beheaded in the worst case.
"what happened?"
Zhao Hanlu came out with a large group of people. Because the gang held an impromptu meeting, almost all the senior officials were present.
Xing Ke raised his hand to Zhao Hanlu and said: "Gang Leader Zhao, there was an arson case in the county just now. The person who set the fire was none other than Zhang Wu, a member of your Zuoshan Gang. According to his confession, he was acting under orders. The county
Mr. Wei was furious and ordered us to arrest and bring to justice the person behind the scenes, I have offended him!"
"Zhang Wu, how could it be him?"
"I remember that Zhang Wu seems to be a member of Chang Xu. The gang leader has just saved them. If something like this happens now, won't it cause chaos to the gang?"
"You will not live if you do your own thing!"
Hearing the commotion around him, Deng Yuchun raised the corner of his mouth slightly and walked out and said: "In this case, Capt. Xing may arrest people, but we, the Zuoshan Gang, will never protect such evil thieves."
Xing Ke looked at Deng Yuchun with a strange face, nodded and said: "I'm offended, tie him up!"
As he waved his hand, two policemen carrying chains walked out from behind and walked quickly towards Deng Yuchun.
"You, what do you want to do?"
Deng Yuchun was a little confused.
"Deng Yuchun, according to Zhang Wu's confession, you were the one who ordered him to set the fire. Why don't you just arrest him without hesitation?"
"Impossible, this is a slander. I don't know Zhang Wu at all, and I have never given such an order. I am unjustly accused."
Deng Yuchun stepped back repeatedly, and things suddenly got out of his control. Why did this happen? Could it be that Zhang Wu had been bribed? He suddenly turned his head and looked at Zhao Hanlu aside, and found that the other party was looking at him with a smile.
No, I've been set up! I can't sit still and wait for death!
Deng Yuchun knew better than anyone that once he entered the yamen, it would be difficult to get out again, so he decided to quit, leaving the green hills without worrying about having no firewood.
Xing Ke shouted loudly: "Whether it is unfair or not, it will be clear to you when you get to the Yamen. Take it down!"
Looking at the two detectives in green clothes who were rushing towards him, Deng Yuchun's eyes flashed fiercely, and he pushed hard with his hands, directly imprinting them on their chests, and the huge force of his palms caused them to spit out blood and fly away.
"Fire the arrow!"
When Deng Yuchun took action, Xing Ke immediately ordered the arrow to be fired.
It's a pity that Deng Yuchun was prepared early. The muscles of his right leg swelled instantly, and he suddenly kicked the ground with his toes. The powerful explosive force directly smashed the stone bricks on the ground. His whole person turned into a shadow, and instantly appeared on the tenth floor.
Meter away, dodged the arrow.
Although the Tsing Yi policemen all carry armor-piercing crossbows, if they can't hit anyone, the crossbows are of little use.
Seeing Deng Yuchun disappear outside the wall with a leap, Xing Ke suddenly became anxious and hurriedly led his men to catch up.
"Everyone, my gang leader announces that from now on, Deng Yuchun is no longer a member of our Zuoshan Gang. If anyone has anything to do with him, my gang leader will definitely escort him to the government."
After saying that, Zhao Hanlu looked at Deng Changyou and others with frightened faces, "Trapped them first, and hand them over to the criminal police later."
"yes!"
Naturally, Deng Changyou would not be captured without hesitation, but now that the situation was over, those who originally relied on his father had also severed ties with them, and even turned against him. Soon the entire Zushan Gang was purged by Zhao Hanlu.
"Come here, prepare a generous gift. I'm going to the county captain to come and apologize!"
After dealing with the gang's affairs, Zhao Hanlu headed to the north of the city with gifts.
In the yamen, Niu Chun was not surprised when he heard that Zhao Hanlu asked for an audience. Since taking office, he has begun to practice martial arts again. However, martial arts training is very expensive. With just the county captain's salary and the filial piety of his subordinates, he simply cannot make ends meet, so he
Then he turned his attention to the Zuoshan Gang in the city.
Compared to the Zhuqing Gang and the Black Humen, the Zuoshan Gang can only be regarded as a second-rate force in the city, but it has a shallow background and is the easiest to conquer. So after meeting Zhao Hanlu in private, the two hit it off.
However, the burning of the second brother's drugstore tonight was somewhat beyond his expectation. According to his original plan, he was to secretly collect evidence of Deng Yuchun's crime and then arrest him. He did not expect that the other party would be impatient.
