The New Year is approaching, and the county is a bustling scene of prosperity.
Since all the major salt fields were on New Year's holidays, the population in the city and outside the city suddenly increased sharply.
More people means more troubles, and the pressure on public security in the county increases sharply.
Dianshi is equivalent to the director of public security. Zhang Rong, the Dianshi of Baoan County, is indeed a typical softie who dare not say a word in the face of provocations from all evil forces.
The reason why Hou Yao let Zhou Tiesheng join the yamen as the head catcher was because he wanted him to slowly bring out the bloody spirit of the officers.
But obviously he still overestimated the integrity of people like these in the yamen.
Zhou Tiesheng encountered a difficult case on his first day at work.
I received a report early in the morning that someone was causing trouble in Wanxiang Building.
Zhang Rong took Zhou Tiesheng and the officers to Wanxiang Tower.
Wanxianglou is one of the four major brothels in Nantou City.
Compared with other brothels, the owner of Wanxiang House can beat one girl at a time, and the girls there can play in many different ways.
Calling it a brothel actually lowers the level of the brothel industry. Calling it a high-end brothel may be more appropriate.
The background of Wanxiang Tower is mysterious, and the methods used to force the girls are also despicable. It has always been a major cancer in Bao'an County.
After Zhang Rong led people to the field, they saw a man dressed as salt who had been beaten to death and hung from the beam at the door.
The steward of Wanxiang Tower led a group of thugs, staring at the man with great power and yelling:
"You are blind. You came to the building so early in the morning to cause trouble. You are seeking death."
Zhang Rong walked forward with a nod and a bow:
"Ouch, Manager Wan, what's going on?"
Manager Wan raised his eyelids and glanced at Zhang Rong, then raised his hand slightly:
"Master Zhang is here? This man came to the building early in the morning to cause trouble. Okay, you can arrest him quickly.
It's best to lock him up for a few more days until he becomes honest."
"Oh, okay, I'll take this person away right now."
After saying that, he ordered the two servants behind him:
"You guys, put them down quickly and take them away. Don't disturb other people's business."
Zhou Tiesheng stepped forward and reminded Zhang Rongdao:
"Sir, we don't even understand the matter, how can we just take people away like this?"
Zhang Rong glared at Zhou Tiesheng and said angrily:
"Do you know where this place is? You just arrived, don't talk too much, just do as you are told."
Without Hou Yao's instructions, perhaps Zhou Tiesheng would have been fine, but Hou Yao had clearly told him:
Cases must be handled fairly and the prestige of the yamen must be re-established.
How could Zhou Tiesheng be willing to listen to Zhang Rong's words? He immediately stepped forward to take the salt man from the Yamen's hands and asked:
"Hey, what happened? Why did you come to Wanxiang Building so early in the morning?"
The Yanding man raised his eyelids with difficulty, glanced at Zhou Tiesheng, and shouted feebly:
"Save...save...my wife and...daughter."
"Don't be impatient and tell me slowly what's going on."
"I... don't know. I didn't... see my wife and daughter when I went home yesterday. They said they were in... Wanxiang Building..."
Zhou Tiesheng glanced at Manager Wan:
"What's going on? Tell me."
Manager Wan didn't take Zhou Tiesheng seriously at all, he just glared at Zhang Rong:
"Master Zhang, do you care about your subordinates like this? You are a loser."
Zhang Rong quickly shouted to Zhou Tiesheng:
"Captain Zhou, don't cause trouble. If you cause trouble, you will get the adults into big trouble."
Zhou Tiesheng turned around and looked at the officials behind him. Seeing fear on everyone's faces, he immediately became heartbroken and restrained Wan Guanshi with lightning speed:
"Tell me, where is his wife and daughter?"
This incident shocked everyone. Wan Guanshi originally wanted to be tough, but when he saw the bright steel knife cutting the skin of his neck, he gave up immediately.
"Yesterday... a dozen girls were sent to him yesterday. I... I... don't know who his wife is."
Zhou Tiesheng shook the man in his arms:
"Brother, can you hold on?"
The man puffed out his chest hard:
"able……."
Zhou Tiesheng held down Manager Wan and helped the man to walk into Wanxiang Building:
"Go in and ask them to call everyone out and identify them."
Zhang Rong was so anxious that he almost cried and shouted:
"Zhou Tiesheng, what are you going to do? Are you willing to kill us all?"
Zhou Tiesheng shouted loudly:
"As the head catcher of the Yamen, how can I listen to one side of the story?
There must be a reason for this brother to break into Wanxiang Tower alone early in the morning. If we don't understand the reason behind it, how can we arrest him so easily?"
Manager Wan was forced to go rogue, so he had no choice but to walk into the building honestly and have people call out all the women who had just been delivered yesterday.
Then, before everyone came out, a little girl suddenly rushed down from the second floor and cried loudly:
"Daddy..., daddy...save me..."
The man immediately struggled to break free from Zhou Tiesheng's arms and rushed towards the little girl:
"Ping Ping..., my Ping Ping..."
The father and daughter cried bitterly and hugged each other. After a while, the man stopped crying and asked:
"Pingping, where is your mother? Why are you here?"
Pingping pointed at Manager Wan and said:
"My mother has been imprisoned by this person. They are about to beat her to death. Please help me quickly... Wuwuwu."
Zhou Tiesheng shouted sharply:
"Aren't you looking for death by asking someone to bring him out?"
Manager Wan looked at the blood on the knife and did not dare to hesitate. He hurriedly asked someone to bring the man's wife out.
The woman was also severely injured, but much stronger than the man. The family of three reunited and cried together.
Zhou Tiesheng shouted loudly and asked the man:
"Don't cry in a hurry. Tell me clearly why you are here."
The woman stopped crying and explained the whole story clearly.
Seeing that the Chinese New Year was about to come, she wanted to go to the city to work and earn some money, but when she walked near Tianxiang Tower, she was kidnapped.
He also identified the appearance of the thug who kidnapped him on the spot.
Zhou Tie was angry and refused to attack anyone. If this kind of thing happened on the sea in a lawless place, then forget it.
Unexpectedly, there are people in the city who dare to do such things in broad daylight.
"What do you have to say? You are so bold that you robbed a common girl in broad daylight. Come back to the Yamen with me and confess your crime honestly."
Before Manager Wan could say anything, Zhang Rong shouted anxiously:
"Zhou Tiesheng, what are you doing underground? Do you have to cause trouble for our Yamen?"
Zhou Tiesheng glanced coldly at the furious Zhang Rong and said:
"Your Majesty asked me to be the head catcher to protect the safety of the people.
There are such vicious and lawless gangsters in Bao'an City today. Mr. Zhang doesn't think about how to catch thieves and punish the perpetrators, but he is here yelling at me as the arrester. I wonder what his intentions are?"
Zhang Rong's round face had turned the color of pig liver, and Zhou Tiesheng was extremely annoyed when he refused to give him any face.
At this moment, the man suddenly fell to the ground, not knowing whether he was dead or alive.
Both the woman and the child were crying heartily. Everyone's attention was drawn to it, and Zhou Tiesheng also relaxed his grip.
Steward Wan took this opportunity and hurriedly ran away. The thugs immediately swarmed up and surrounded Zhou Tiesheng.
However, the thugs look strong, but in fact they are not very strong.
With Zhou Tiesheng's fourth-grade skills, these people were not in his eyes at all. Half of the dozen thugs were knocked to the ground by him without even using a stick of incense.
Seeing that there were fewer and fewer thugs, Manager Wan finally became anxious and immediately shouted:
"Zhang Rong, you allowed your subordinates to cause trouble in Wanxiang Tower. Are you sure you want to fall out with Mr. Huang today?"
Upon hearing the words "Master Huang", Zhang Rong's eyes condensed and he immediately yelled:
"Zhou Tiesheng was lawless and quick to obey orders, but he was captured quickly and taken back to the Yamen to be punished."
All the government officials looked at each other, not knowing what to do for a while.
Everyone is not stupid and knows that Zhou Tiesheng is a close confidant of the county magistrate.
Although Hou Yao has not officially taken action, no one is willing to touch Zhi County's bad luck.
Zhang Rong became even more angry when he saw that he couldn't call the other officers.
At this time, he thought that Hou Yao had done nothing after taking office for so long, so he immediately became jealous, shouted loudly, and even drew his sword to attack him.
Following Zhang Rong, several close subordinates also attacked together.
Zhou Tiesheng's pressure suddenly increased sharply, and his originally relaxed face became serious.
Although Zhang Rong is short and fat, he didn't expect that he was not weak in skill and actually had a strength no lower than the fourth level.
He was holding Zhou Tiesheng from the front, while the others were waiting for an opportunity to attack from behind.
Zhou Tiesheng's two fists were difficult to defeat with four hands, and he was surrounded by dangers. In the end, he was kicked by Zhang Rong on the wrist, and the steel knife flew away from his hand.
Following closely, several close cadres swarmed up and restrained him firmly.
Zhang Rong handed over to Manager Wan:
"Manager Wan, please tell Mr. Huang that I have no intention of going against Mr. Huang.
I will take this person back and hand it over to the county magistrate before I say goodbye."
After saying that, he turned around and wanted to take people away.
But how dare Wan Guangui give up and yell loudly:
"Master Zhang, this person treated me like this in broad daylight, how can you just say this lightly?
Look at my neck, he clearly wants to kill me, if he doesn’t let out this bad breath, how will I be able to gain a foothold in Nantou City in the future?"
Zhang Rong nodded and bowed, and said solemnly:
"Manager Wan, Capt. Zhou was personally arranged by the Houzhi County. It will be really difficult for you to be demoted like this."
Wan Guanshi said with an unruly look:
"If you are a county magistrate, you don't know who you are. Mr. Zhang, you have to think clearly.
If you dare to take this person out today, you are making an enemy of my Mr. Huang. You can decide for yourself which is more serious."
Zhang Rong looked at Zhou Tiesheng hesitantly, then at Manager Wan who refused to compromise, and finally said with a frustrated face:
"Give them Zhou Tiesheng and let's go."
Two Tianxianglou thugs brought the locked Zhou Tiesheng to Manager Wan.
Manager Wan patted him on the face, then slapped him:
"Your name is Zhou Tiesheng, yes. Even the King of Heaven, I, can't save you today."
Zhou Tiesheng received a slap and glared at Manager Wan angrily:
"You won't be proud for long, my master will definitely uproot you. You guys, the thieves who harm the people, just wait to die."
Wan Guangshi sneered:
"You still have to be stubborn when you are about to die. Later, I will let you know what life is worse than death. Don't worry, I will never let you die so happily."
As he spoke, he glanced at Zhang Rong, who was still stunned, and shouted coldly:
"Master Zhang, are you still standing there waiting to eat?"
Zhang Rong stamped his feet angrily when he heard this, turned around and left with all the officials.
As soon as I walked out of the gate of Wanxiang Tower, I bumped into three figures, who suddenly shouted in horror:
