Su Cheng reminded that the old man named Lu was a killer pimp. Jia Cong twisted his lips: He turned out to be a bridge between officials and gangsters. He often went to various countries to buy people from officials and slaves, whether he bought relatives or enemies for others.
It’s easy to take revenge from his relatives. He used this as a cover to secretly pimp the killer, and probably many of his clients were officials. Jia Cong said casually: "How did this old man Lu live to this day? Why do I feel something is wrong?"
"
Chen Ruijin also asked casually: "What's wrong?"
Jia Cong said: "It is inevitable that such a person has the shortcomings of many high-ranking officials in his hands. Theoretically, he should keep a low profile. This guy actually came to the gate of the magistrate's office to make trouble? How could someone with such an arrogant temper live to this age?
Being silenced?" His voice was loud, and the old man obviously heard him, and his expression changed.
Su Cheng poked his head out from behind Chen Ruijin: "Hey, are they still litigating?"
Jia Cong said: "You are stupid! It's obvious that I'm here to make trouble, not to file a lawsuit." He then ordered the guards, "The two leaders of the trouble have been arrested."
The four guards walked directly towards the two high chairs, and the expressions of the two men changed. The short man stood up and said to Su Tao: "Master Su, I am the plaintiff." Su Tao just said "oh".
The two guards walked up to the dwarf in the blink of an eye. A tall and thin man jumped out from behind the dwarf and stopped in front of them. He opened his mouth and was about to speak. When they heard a gunshot, the man was shot in the forehead and died on the spot.
, not a single word was uttered. The whole place was shocked. The guard turned a blind eye and took advantage of the dwarf's daze to catch him, wipe his shoulders, raise his arms and push him towards the Yamen entrance.
Another thin man shouted "Ouch" and jumped out with a knife: "I will fight with you!" Before he finished speaking, he rushed behind a guard. The guard did not look back. Seeing the knife in the thin man's hand slashing at his neck,
He suddenly flew up and kicked the knife with his side, kicking the knife away. At the same time, his hands shook, and the flying knife in his palm hit the thin man's throat. The thin man's face was shocked, his eyes were rounded, and his body seemed to be rushing forward. The guard took advantage of this.
The thin man fell towards him, pulled out the flying knife and held it in his hand. He quickly took two steps back to avoid the blood splashing on himself. The body fell down with a "plop". The other guard kept pressing the leader as if nothing happened.
The dwarf continued walking without even trembling.
It was almost noon, and the yamen entrance was suddenly as quiet as midnight, and even the wind was silent. When the old man saw two people on the opposite side dying in succession, he was so frightened that he stood up and said to the two guards in front of him:
"I'm going to go on my own, go on my own!" The guard ignored him and still wiped his shoulders and held him with his arms.
Not long after, both of them were escorted to Su Tao. As soon as the guards pressed their shoulders, they both knelt down obediently. Jia Cong and others had already dodged aside. With the thugs around Su Tao, he was in much better spirits. Look.
The two of them looked at them and said, "If you disturb the court, you'll have to hit each other fifty times first."
The government officials rushed over and said, "Sir, 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 carry the board." Then he looked at the guards brought by Jia Cong.
The guards stepped forward to take the board. One of the yamen guards didn't want to give it to him, so he held on to the board. When the guard grabbed it lightly, the board fell out of his hands, and the yamen guard almost dropped it. These guards were all elites from the Taiwan Special Forces Battalion.
He lacked strength for everything, so he evened out the two men, picked up the board and started hitting. When the first board went down, the old man Lu howled like a pig, but the short man gritted his teeth and remained silent. There was a government servant who was smart and
The other side counted loudly. When the 22nd blow was hit, the short man couldn't help but scream. After playing fifty big boards, the two majestic people just now were as helpless as dogs in water.
Jia Cong said with a smile: "It's too late for you two to confess who sent you here. If you don't, it will be too late."
In the end, the more than 20 people who were fighting had stopped fighting and returned to their friends. A man in the dwarf formation who had just been fighting shouted at the top of his lungs: "We are the plaintiff! The big man couldn't help but beat the plaintiff first, is there anything else?"
God’s law!” When the crowd was neutral, someone responded.
Su Tao pointed at him and said, "Catch him!"
Two guards stepped forward to grab him. The man screamed and punched one of the guards, and the guard raised his hand to grab his wrist. The man withdrew his fist, turned around, and raised his leg to sweep towards the guard's lower body. The man's movements were extremely violent.
Quickly, he was about to kick the guard in the ankle; he suddenly retracted his feet and jumped up, shouting: "What kind of man can you be if you hurt someone with a hidden arrow?"
Chen Ruijin smiled sweetly: "I'm not a man."
The man sneered and said, "Sure enough, the most vicious ones are women!" Nai looked at the two guards proudly, "I want to see what you are capable of doing to catch me."
When the guards were about to step forward, Chen Ruijin said: "You two get out of the way." She Shiran came out and said, "Let the woman catch him." The two guards immediately avoided and looked at the man with pity.
The man rolled his eyes and saw that Chen Ruijin was about to come over and said, "That's it, a good man doesn't fight with women."
Chen Ruijin smiled and said: "You're welcome, you can try to escape."
The man really tried to break away from the crowd and wanted to run away, but Chen Ruijin caught up to him in a few steps. The man turned around and struck with a diagonal strike, and there was already a dagger in his palm. Chen Ruijin, with quick eyes and quick hands, pinched his wrist and twisted it, making the man gasp in pain.
Chen Ruijin glanced at the dagger and said: "Men are more poisonous than women. How dare you use such a clearly poisoned weapon in front of an expert?" He then pulled the man's neck, removed his shoulder joint and threw it to him.
The two guards said, "Bring it to your lord." The guards agreed.
Chen Ruijin jumped up again, stepped on the heads of more than a dozen people, and then landed on one person's head. The man screamed "Ouch", and the people around him dodged to the side, leaving a circle. Chen Ruijin landed on the ground, and casually took it from his sleeve.
He took out the handcuffs and cuffed him, tilting his head slightly: "Let's go." The man kept shouting injustice. Chen Ruijin said, "Isn't it you who agreed with that person just now?"
The man said: "The villain just shouted."
Chen Ruijin said: "I have to ask a question after calling you sir. Who knows if you were ordered by someone to stir up trouble?" Then he motioned over. The man had no choice but to follow behind and walk towards the Yamen one step at a time. The front.
The people didn’t want to have their heads stepped on again, so they all obediently made way for them.
When the two of them arrived in front of Su Tao, Chen Ruijin pointed at the man whose arm had been removed and said: "This man is very skilled in martial arts. The dozen or so people who fought with him just now were either using fists or embroidered legs or using crop tricks. If he uses his true 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 some tricks, like a trick?"
"good."
Su Tao nodded: "I thought what happened today was just a matter of provoking trouble between the two of them, but it turns out there was another mystery behind it."
The dwarf, who was lying on the ground and couldn't get up, shouted: "Sir! I don't know that this person is very skilled in martial arts!"
Su Tao said "Oh": "Do you know now?"
The dwarf struggled to hold himself up and knelt down: "The villain is wronged."
Su Taonai asked: "You said you came to complain?"
"Yes! The villain is here to complain."
"What are you telling me?"
The dwarf kowtowed and said: "This man named Lu opened a restaurant in partnership with the villain six years ago. We agreed that the villain would become a shareholder and he sent someone to take care of it. Now the villain doesn't want to partner with him anymore and wants to get his money back. He actually
Said, the villain’s principal can only be returned.”
Su Taonai asked Old Man Lu: "Is what he said true?"
Old Man Lu said: "No, I didn't agree that he would become a shareholder. The old man was in charge, and he was supposed to run the business together. Who knew that he never asked about the restaurant's affairs, and he even got a lot of bonus money for nothing."
Su Tao said: "This is easy. You have always written the paperwork, just take it and check it."
Old Man Lu said: "The superiors never wrote this."
Su Tao said: "Since he doesn't care about anything, why didn't you break up with him earlier?"
Old Man Lu said: "After all, we are old friends for many years. I can't help but save my face. I just want to give him a few dollars."
"Why is it getting in the way now?"
"To be honest," Old Man Lu said, "Business has not been easy lately, and I don't have much spare money on hand to give to unrelated people."
Jia Cong couldn't help but interjected: "If you have written evidence, give me written evidence. If you don't have written evidence, don't talk nonsense. The government only recognizes written evidence." Su Tao, Chen Ruijin and others glanced at him, and Jia Cong shrank his neck and ducked behind.
Su Tao thought for a moment and said, "That's not difficult to do. Since you have someone in charge of the restaurant, I guess the shopkeeper must have a salary."
Old Man Lu said: "The shopkeeper's salary is very small. He just does it to see my old man's face. It has nothing to do with him."
Su Tao said with a half-smile but not a smile: "Since the restaurant's business is good, why not give the shopkeeper a salary increase?"
Old Man Lu said: "To be honest with you, 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, "Dr. Lu's family has a lot of money, and they only come to litigate with others for a restaurant that is not worth a lot of money. They have very little time." He said.
After a pause, "Which restaurant is it? It seems that I need to go check it out."
The dwarf shouted first: "It's the Changfeng Tower under the Shengjin Tower!"
Su Tao nodded: "I will make more decisions after I inspect Changfeng Tower." He flicked his sleeves, "Quit!" and turned around to go in.
Several government officials shouted: "Might - Wu -"
A government officer chased Su Tao and shouted, "Sir, where are the two people we arrested just now?" Chen Ruijin glanced at the government officer intently, making him tremble.
Su Tao didn't turn around and said: "Take the prison." Two guards escorted the two people into the Yamen. Jia Cong smiled and waved to everyone outside and followed Su Tao, and the others followed. The two Yamen guards closed the door.
Two groups of people outside stepped forward to help the owner, who was unable to move after being beaten with fifty large boards.
Arriving in the lobby, Su Tao sat down and sighed: "Cong'er, you came just in time."
Jia Cong frowned and said, "Didn't King Yan prepare any troops to help you? How can you deal with these people with bare hands?"
Su Tao shook his head: "Jiangxi has been plagued by banditry for a long time, and it cannot be quelled overnight. King Yan's people are suppressing bandits everywhere, so where can I find anyone to spare?"
Jia Cong asked: "What's going on with the Yamen servant?"
Su Tao smiled bitterly and said: "You don't obey orders. I have changed them three times."
Jia Cong thought: "Uncle Lin and I passed through Nanchang Prefecture in the early years. At that time, the prefect was still Xie Jing. Although bandits are everywhere in Jiangxi, Nanchang Prefecture is still safe and the government officials are normal."
Su Tao waved his hand and said: "The first Yamen servants left behind by Mr.
Su Cheng added: "Those people have dark faces every day. They open and close their mouths just to thank you, sir."
Su Tao immediately darkened his face and shouted: "Cheng'er! Who told you to run out!" Su Cheng hurriedly hid behind Chen Ruijin. Su Tao glared at his daughter, "I'll deal with you later, go back!"
Jia Cong smiled and said: "She is smart, so it doesn't hurt to let her listen."
Su Tao said angrily: "Do you think I don't know? She is so lawless that you and Huan'er are used to it!"
Jia Cong raised his hands and said, "Yes, yes! It's all spoiled by our brothers. It's not like Mr. Su and Mrs. Su. Mr. Su and Mrs. Su didn't spoil her!" Su Tao choked, and Su Cheng buried her little face in Chen Ruijin's eyes.
A muffled smile on his back.
Chen Ruijin quickly changed the topic: "When Xie Jing was in Jiangxi, he collected a lot of illegal taxes on the Green Forest Road. Presumably his government servants also took a lot of money."
Su Tao was stunned: "Is this happening?"
"You don't know?" Jia Cong and Chen Ruijin looked at each other and said, "Didn't anyone tell you?"
Su Tao said: "I knew that Mr. Xie Jing would inevitably have something to do with the Green Forest people, but I never thought that he would openly collect illegal taxes."
Jia Cong responded: "It's not mine! Just assume that someone must have told senior brother. Just now you said that Mr. Lu's family is a pimp for the killer. Xie Jing also collects taxes from this business, and he even collects the killer's tax. That
The people under Chaozi all have the aura of the green forest, and I don’t believe the Changfeng Restaurant they are working with is just a restaurant!"
Su Cheng poked his head out from behind Chen Ruijin: "One is a greenforest man, and the other is a pimp for the killer. Isn't that restaurant a murder trader?"
Just when Su Tao was about to reprimand him, Jia Cong first asked: "Then what are they doing to break up the gang? They are not bandits. Besides, if people who do illegal business cannot break up the gang smoothly, they should be elected to fight seriously where there are fewer individuals.
If you resort to a group fight to solve the problem, how can you go to the Yamen to file a lawsuit?"
"That's right." Chen Ruijin thought, "This is the only weird thing. Apart from that, everything is an ordinary green forest matter. They couldn't agree on it, so they each brought their men and horses to fight with real swords and guns. Whoever wins will be the winner. Change
Just one place is right.”
Su Tao said: "I chose to beat him at the yamen gate specially, just to show me."
Su Cheng poked his head out again: "What are you calling my dad for? Can you scare my dad away? Why do they think they are high officials in the court?"
Chen Ruijin said: "Where are the two instigators? Senior brother, let's interrogate. The one who pretends to be a mediocre martial artist must have something to do with the person behind the scenes."
Jia Cong said: "That person, Ruijin, please help interrogate him. I'm afraid this person has a background, and an official like senior brother may not be able to deal with it."
Su Tao said angrily: "I have been an official for twenty years, and I have dealt with so many thieves and criminals!"
Jia Cong hurriedly laughed and said, "That's not what I meant! That person may have received some special training. Senior brother rarely comes into contact with such prisoners. Ruijin is more experienced..."
Before he finished speaking, a yamen officer shouted, "It's not good~~Sir~~It's not good~~" and ran up to the hall and knelt down with a plop and shouted, "Sir! The two prisoners we just arrested are dead!"
