Zhang Biao is a well-known gangster in Lingzhou City.
He suffered a serious illness when he was a child and almost died. Later, his family found a charlatan for him and used two folk remedies. His life was saved, but all the hair on his head fell out.
Zhang Biao grew up in a poor family and never read a book. He wandered the streets all day, fighting fiercely with others. Although he was beaten and lame in one leg, he still gained a bad reputation. All the local gangsters in Lingzhou knew this.
There is a bald man named Zhang on Changping Street who is not easy to mess with.
Zhang Biao also met a group of fair-weather friends. He could not do anything evil in the city, bullying men and dominating women, but he was someone no one dared to mess with on two streets.
At this time, Zhang Biao was sitting at a noodle stall on the street with a few of his fair-weather friends, eating noodles.
Zhang Biao wiped his mouth, put down the bowl, and said to the waiter inside: "Brother, let's have another bowl of noodles."
The waiter looked embarrassed, looked at them, pointed to a dozen empty bowls stacked aside, and said: "Sir, have you paid for these first..."
Snapped!
Zhang Biao slapped the table and said angrily: "What's wrong, are you afraid that I can't afford the money?"
The guy immediately said: "I don't dare, I don't dare..."
Zhang Biao looked at him and said disdainfully: "Let me tell you, in this Lingzhou city, whether it is Zuixiang Tower or Baihua Garden, I often go there and spend dozens of taels of silver in one night. I can't afford it."
You have a few bowls of noodles, so stop talking nonsense and hurry up and cook them!"
Zuixianglou and Baihuayuan are the most famous restaurants and brothels in Lingzhou City, and they are also famous for selling gold. These few poor people eating noodles on the street might not even be able to get in. The waiter glanced at
They whispered: "Who can't tell lies? If you can, go to Zuixianglou. What kind of noodles can you eat here?"
Zhang Biao raised his eyebrows: "What did you say?"
The waiter immediately said: "Please wait a moment, sir. Your meal will be here soon!"
He turned his back to cook the noodles. When he put down the noodles, he spat into the pot and whispered: "What kind of noodles do you want to eat? Just eat my saliva..."
Zhang Biao looked at the obedient man and touched his bald head with satisfaction. A thin man next to him looked at him and whispered: "Brother Biao, when can we do it again? We don't have to do it again."
You can eat noodles here and play with the girls from Baihuayuan..."
“What’s a vote for?”
"The big "job" half a year ago..."
"Shut up!" Zhang Biao glared at him and whispered: "You should keep this matter in your belly. No one is allowed to mention it. If it is accidentally leaked, I will kill you!"
The man immediately lowered his head to eat the noodles and did not dare to speak any more.
A person next to him slapped him on the head and said: "What's the difference between the girl from Baihuayuan and your fifth girl? It's not all a matter of trembling. Just eat your noodles and play with your fifth girl at night."
Got it!"
Zhang Biao's face was slightly gloomy. He was still a little scared when he thought about what happened half a year ago.
For a life, the other party actually gave them a thousand taels of silver. At that time, he was hot-headed and agreed. However, after the incident, no matter what he thought, he felt a little guilty. It was not until half a year later that everything was fine, and he finally agreed.
Relax.
One thousand taels of silver had been squandered long ago, but if there were any "big jobs" from before, he would not dare to take them again.
"Sir, here comes the noodles." The waiter placed the noodles in front of Zhang Biao. Zhang Biao picked up the chopsticks and accidentally glanced at him, realizing that the two beggars in the corner next to him were looking at him.
He felt angry in his heart, slammed his chopsticks on the table, and said angrily: "What are you looking at!"
The two beggars did not show panic or fear as he expected. One of them stood up holding a wooden stick, glanced at him, and said lightly: "What's wrong with you?"
No one dared to talk to him like this on this street, let alone a beggar.
Zhang Biao stood up suddenly, and several people behind him also gathered around him aggressively.
"What's the matter, do you want to fight?" The beggar looked at them, took a step back, and said loudly: "Brothers, someone wants to fight!"
Wow!
While Zhang Biao and others were stunned in place, dozens of beggars immediately appeared from several surrounding alleys. They were all holding wooden sticks and surrounded the few people.
This is the headquarters of the Beggar Gang in Lingzhou. Since a few days ago, the Beggar Gang has become the largest gang in Lingzhou in terms of numbers.
Zhang Biao swallowed, sat back, licked his lips, and said: "Brother, if you have something to say, speak it carefully..."
"Get out of the way, everyone, get out of the way. What are you doing here?" Several police officers separated from the crowd and walked in from outside.
In Zhang Biao's eyes, the hateful faces of these detectives have never been so kind.
A police officer looked at him and asked, "Are you Zhang Biao?"
Zhang Biao's heart skipped a beat. He hadn't done anything wrong recently. At most, he slept with Ahu's wife when she wasn't at home. Isn't this illegal?
He nodded and said, "I am Zhang Biao."
The policeman pointed at him and the people beside him, waved his hand and said, "Take them all away."
Zhang Biao hurriedly defended: "Brother, we did not break the law, you..."
A young man walked out from behind the policeman, looked at him with a smile, and asked, "Do you still remember me?"
The young man had a handsome face and a kind smile, but to Zhang Biao, this smile looked like the smile of an evil ghost crawling out of the underworld.
Not like, not at all.
Half a year ago, he repeatedly confirmed that the other person had no breathing and heartbeat before leaving the alley. In other words, the person who appeared in front of him died half a year ago!
Zhang Biao's body trembled, a look of extreme fear appeared on his face, and his whole body instantly collapsed to the ground. A strong stench came from his crotch, and he kept muttering: "Ghost, there is a ghost..."
Tangning took a step back, a little further away from him, waved her hand and said, "Take them all back."
When the waiter at the noodle stall saw Zhang Biao and others being taken away, a look of pleasure appeared on his face. When he glanced away, his expression changed drastically when he saw the piles of empty bowls on the table...
…
When Tang Ning went back, she happened to run into her father-in-law, so she went back to Zhong Mansion with him.
His father-in-law seemed to be in a bad mood. During the meal, Tang Ning realized that the new governor of Lingzhou had arrived today.
This Chu governor was transferred from the capital to Lingzhou. He did not hold an important position in the capital, so it was not clear whether he would be promoted or demoted. After Lingzhou officials got the news, they went to greet him early in the morning.
There are three things a new official should do when he takes office. The governor has just taken office, so he naturally wants to make some achievements to show his ability and majesty. The local officials in Lingzhou were already prepared, but they did not expect that the other party would just arrive in Lingzhou.
On the first day of statehood, this fire started.
The county magistrates of each county in Lingzhou were ordered to clean up the major cases accumulated in the county within three months, otherwise it would have an impact on the evaluation at the end of the year. As a governor, he has a great influence on the performance evaluation of state officials.
The right to speak.
Father-in-law, don't worry about this matter. In the past six months, the security in Yong'an County has not been good, but there are no unsolved cases. Although there were two cases that were not solved half a year ago, compared to other county magistrates, the pressure is already very high.
Smaller.
After eating, Tangning told him and went directly to the county jail.
"We are unjust, we have done nothing, let us out!" As soon as he entered the cell, he heard someone shouting loudly.
He walked to a cell and saw Zhang Biao and others being imprisoned in the cell, holding the wooden bars of the cell and shouting injustice.
Tang Ning pointed at Zhang Biao and said, "Bring him out."
Zhang Biao was brought back to the innermost cell. Tang Ning did not let Peng Chen and others follow. She walked over alone and looked at Zhang Biao in the cell, but did not speak.
Zhang Biao met his eyes and lowered his head the next moment.
Tangning watched for a while, then suddenly asked, "Do you still remember me?"
Zhang Biao raised his head, looked at him again, and said: "I don't know you, why did you bring me in? I didn't break the law!"
"Since you don't know me, why were you panicking just now? Why did you pull your pants?"
An unnatural look appeared on Zhang Biao's face, he shook his head and said, "I don't know what you are talking about."
When he said this, he looked up again and saw that familiar face.
But his mood had calmed down at the moment.
In broad daylight, if the other person can stand here and talk to him, it means that he is not a ghost. Maybe he was too panicked at the time and mistakenly thought that the person was dead...
As long as he is a human and not a ghost, he has nothing to fear.
People are not as scary as ghosts.
"Don't you know?" Tangning smiled, showing two rows of white teeth, and waved, "Forget it if you don't know..."
Zhang Biao raised his head and glanced at him. When he saw the smile on his face, he couldn't help but shudder, feeling a chill coming from the depths of his soul.
This chill was far worse than when he saw ghosts in the street during the day!
