Although he had a fight with the battalion commander, Shen Tianlong was still confused and couldn't figure out why the battalion commander had a conflict with the railway gang. Even an organization like the Nanxia Brigade, which gave the national railway police a headache, was involved. .【】
"Haha, one of my little brothers was beaten by someone from the Railway Gang. Then I led my people to catch the attacker and took him to the grain store. Unexpectedly, the people from the Railway Gang actually defected to the Southbound Brigade. They came Later, they first set fire to my grain store. I didn’t expect these people from the southbound brigade to have guns. If you hadn’t appeared in time today, I guess my life would have been handed down!” The battalion commander explained to Shen Tianlong, Laughing loudly.
"Oh." Shen Tianlong nodded. Although the battalion commander's words were brief, they were also very clear.
But Shen Tianlong looked around at the guys on the table again. They were all fierce and fierce, and they didn't look like they were being bullied by the railway gang.
"Haha, Tianlong, don't look at it. The brothers in my grain store are all soldiers brought out by me. If I borrow their courage, they don't dare to offend them. The people in the grain store are not bullied by the Railway Gang." The battalion commander immediately saw it. After hearing Shen Tianlong's doubts, he continued to explain to Shen Tianlong.
"kindness?"
Shen Tianlong said a favor and said nothing, just waiting for the battalion commander to continue speaking.
"I'll tell you the truth, brother! I also have a group of thieves under me, and the thief bullied by the Railway Gang is one of my people. Although I don't like these thieves very much. But they followed me after all, and I found him after he was bullied. If you kill me, I won’t be able to justify it if I don’t take action!”
After the battalion commander finished speaking, he stared at Shen Tianlong without blinking, as if he wanted to read something from Shen Tianlong's face.
"Oh, that's it." Shen Tianlong said lightly without any expression on his face.
Although Shen Tianlong's expression was calm on the surface, his heart was already in turmoil.
Although he fell in love with the battalion commander at first sight and regarded the battalion commander as his elder brother in his heart, he did not expect that the battalion commander actually had a group of thieves under his command. To put it bluntly, what happened today was just a matter of two gangs of thieves fighting for territory.
Shen Tianlong was very depressed that he was involved in such a thing for no reason. Moreover, the battalion commander actually had a group of thieves under his command, which Shen Tianlong couldn't accept either.
"Did I misjudge the person? How could a person who was willing to fight for his country on the battlefield be so miserable after changing his job? Especially a veteran like the battalion commander who has been in the military for more than ten years?"
Shen Tianlong remembered the promise he made to the national flag when he took the oath to join the army!
"In order to shoulder the sacred duty of a revolutionary soldier, I swear:...Fight bravely, not be afraid of sacrifice, defend the motherland, and never betray the motherland under any circumstances!..."
"Tianlong, do you think that what I did in raising a thief is unethical?" The battalion commander seemed to see what Shen Tianlong was thinking, and slapped Shen Tianlong on the shoulder, interrupting Shen Tianlong's thoughts.
"Brother, I don't think you should have anything to do with thieves. People like that should be beaten and arrested." Shen Tianlong stared at the battalion commander and spoke word by word.
Although Shen Tianlong was really very close to the battalion commander in his heart, it was precisely because of this that Shen Tianlong did not mince words, but directly expressed his views without any politeness.
"Hey...Tianlong, it turns out that I am just like you. I hate thieves very much. I would beat every one I saw. But then..." Before the battalion commander could finish his words, he sighed again. His tone seemed to be filled with infinite emotions. Feeling.
The battalion commander silently picked up the wine glass, drank a drink with Shen Tianlong, and slowly told the whole story.
It turned out that the year before last, the battalion commander was waiting for someone in front of the city department store, but a blind thief targeted the battalion commander and wanted to "take out" the battalion commander's goods.
As a result, the thief was caught by the battalion commander as soon as he put his hand into the battalion commander's bag.
It is estimated that the thief targeted the battalion commander because he was thin and dry. But he never expected that the thin and dry battalion commander would be so skilled.
The battalion commander subdued the thief with just three strokes, five divided by two, and in Hongqi City, a city with strong folk customs, the way ordinary people deal with thieves is different from most areas.
In most other places, if a thief is caught, he is sent directly to the nearby police station. But in Hongqi City, if people catch a thief, they always beat the thief to death first, and then send him to the police station.
The battalion commander is a native of Hongqi City, so he naturally has to follow the traditional ways of Hongqi City.
But I didn't expect this thief to be so tough. The battalion commander punched and kicked him, but the thief resisted without saying a word.
But when the battalion commander was about to send him to the police station, the thief suddenly burst into tears and begged, saying that he had an 80-year-old mother who was ill in bed and a three-year-old child who was crying for food, and begged the battalion commander to give him a hand and let him go. One horse.
"Come on, show me." The battalion commander thought he had nothing to do, so he challenged the thief, "If you dare to lie to me, I will fucking skin you." The battalion commander also threatened the thief at that time. .
Unexpectedly, when the battalion commander arrived at the thief's house, he was really stunned.
What kind of place is that for people to live? In the dead of winter, the windows of the thief's house didn't even have glass, and were just covered with a layer of newspaper. An old lady in her seventies, although she was less than eighty years old, Lying on the kang, she kept coughing. There was a broken bowl beside the old lady, and there was a lot of Chinese medicine residue left in the bowl.
"Brother, my mother can't even afford the medicine, so I stole it." The thief saw the old lady coughing so hard that she was almost out of breath, and he beat her back and cried.
Although the battalion commander is usually fierce and domineering, he is actually quite soft-hearted. He felt uncomfortable when he saw this situation. In the end, not only did he not send the thief to the police station, he even threw him a hundred yuan before leaving.
A few days later, the battalion commander almost forgot about it. But the thief found the battalion commander's grain store. As soon as the thief entered the door, he knelt down and kowtowed three times to the battalion commander and returned the battalion. One hundred dollars long.
After asking about it, the battalion commander found out that his old lady had passed away.
"The old lady is gone. Why don't you stop stealing and come work in my grain store?" The battalion commander always believed that as long as a person is filial, he will not do anything bad. He wanted to help the thief.
"Thank you so much, brother. Let me kowtow to you a few more times." As he said that, the thief knelt down again. Who would be willing to steal if they could have a job?
"Haha, it's okay, just pack up and come to work tomorrow," the battalion commander said.
"Eldest brother... Actually, I have two younger brothers, and they are nowhere to be found. You said that my family is from out of town. Without local registration, I can't be a worker, and I don't have land to farm. Our two younger brothers are disabled and can't work. Look..." the thief asked hesitantly, he wanted the battalion commander to arrange for his younger brother.
"Fuck!" The battalion commander became angry when he heard this. His relationship was still a den of thieves.
The grain store only has such a small amount of work, so many people cannot be used. Besides, although the battalion commander is the top leader of the grain store, the grain store is state-owned. If so many people are arranged at once, the battalion commander cannot make the decision.
"Brother, I won't let you be in trouble, but my two younger brothers are still young, and I can't leave them alone." The thief saw that the battalion commander was in trouble, so he didn't bother anymore. He kowtowed to the battalion commander again, turned around and left.
The battalion commander thought that the matter would just go away, and he felt quite guilty for not being able to help the thief.
But the thief came again the next month. This time he came to give money to the battalion commander. If he stole one hundred, he would give twenty yuan to the battalion commander, and if he stole two hundred, he would give forty yuan to the battalion commander.
.In short, every month from now on, he would always come to send money to the battalion commander without hesitation.
At first, the battalion commander was determined not to do it, but the thief was also very stubborn. He said that although the battalion commander's hundred yuan did not save his mother's life, it would enable him to bury her in a glorious way. If he didn't have that
For one hundred yuan, my mother would have to throw her body into the wilderness. I would have to repay this kindness for the rest of my life.
The battalion commander had no choice but to accept it, but the battalion commander couldn't take other people's money for free every month.
But this thief is also very stubborn. The favor must be repaid and the money must be given.
Seeing the battalion commander's sad and reluctant expression after accepting the money, the thief gave the battalion commander another idea.
The thief's idea is very simple, that is, when he steals something in the future, the battalion commander will send someone to protect him.
At that time, the thief almost gave the battalion commander a year's money, which made the battalion commander very worried.
But if the battalion commander dared to say no, and if he refused, the thief would take out a knife and wipe his neck.
Although the thief's method was not very good, the battalion commander happily accepted it. He probably just asked him to stop taking other people's money for nothing and let him kneel down and kowtow to the thief.
Although the battalion commander agreed to send people to protect the thief, he also set two rules for the thief.
"You can't go to the hospital to steal money, and you can't go to the poor people's homes to steal money!"
"If you are caught stealing something, you have to return the money to the person. If the person still refuses to give up after paying back the money, then the battalion commander will take action."
"Brother, battalion commander, don't worry, I promise to do those two things you said." The thief slapped his chest and made a jingling sound.
But what happened later was completely beyond the battalion commander's expectations.
In the past, Hongqi City's rule of "Beat the thief half to death first, and then send him to the police station." was so deeply rooted in the hearts of the people that thieves were always on tenterhooks when shipping goods every day.
Now it's great. With the battalion commander creating a good working environment for him, the thief's work performance has improved steadily, and his income has also increased steadily.
The other thieves were envious of this thief's income. Gradually, under his introduction, they all joined the battalion commander's "subordinates".
An unintentional move by the battalion commander ended up recruiting at least 50% of the thieves in Hongqi City.
On the specified day of each month, the thief would hand over the money to the battalion commander.
And the battalion commander didn't treat them badly. The thieves in the canteen of the grain store came to eat at will without paying. Anyway, the grain store had plenty of food. Not only that, sometimes the thief was seriously injured, or a family member was sick, the battalion commander would also give the thief some food.
Let's get some money and go out for emergencies first.
In this way, the battalion commander unintentionally created a precedent in China's corporate world. But he not only provided the thieves with free working meals, but also provided the thieves with work-related injury insurance and pension insurance. It can be said that the treatment is generous.【】
