"Take them away, take them all away, you dare to stab me, you are so impatient!"
In the blink of an eye, several people from the Tongzhou Caogang sub-ruler who came to negotiate were all slapped to the ground by the big boss, and then all were caught by the state government officials and sent to Dalao for sightseeing.
Speaking of the conflict with the Caobang Tongzhou Branch, the elder was also drunk.
As the saying goes, you will die if you don't do it, and Captain Zhou is definitely a model among them.
The eldest brother took over the mess left by Zheng Laoer. Oh, I can't say it's a mess, I can only say it's an unfinished project that hasn't been started yet.
The old man in politics got 80,000 taels of silver from his gang of servants and Qingke, which was more than enough to fund the entire Tongzhou section of the canal dredging project.
Therefore, the great master sent his subordinates, who were highly mobile, as well as state government officials to come forward to start the canal dredging project.
Here, the elder wants to find out the Cao gang bastard who defrauded Mr. Zheng of 30,000 taels of silver.
As a result, the official officer sent to fetch the person came back empty-handed, indicating that the person had escaped.
The old man is not angry either. This is human nature. If it were him, he would have to run away immediately after defrauding such a large sum of money.
It's just that a monk can escape but cannot escape from the temple. Unless this guy wants to be a gangster or get another identity and live in another place, sooner or later he will be exposed in Tongzhou.
The scam of 30,000 taels of silver is enough to be handled as a major bounty case for the state government. The arresting officials below are all pure local snakes. They are inextricably linked with their colleagues in the four counties under their jurisdiction. As long as the person who deceives money is
Even if I haven't left Tongzhou, I will be exposed one day.
Of course, if the people from Caobang Tongzhou Branch are willing to cooperate, the speed of catching the liar will be greatly improved.
With the attitude of giving it a try, the elder sent someone to Caobang Tongzhou Branch to inquire. The result was self-evident. Not only did the officer return without success, he was ridiculed.
After receiving the reward, the elder felt unhappy because the people in Ya's Cao Gang sub-rudder were too arrogant.
Originally, this was nothing. The people in the Caobang sub-rudder were already well aware of their lack of cooperation. However, what happened later made the elder's opinion of the Caobang Tongzhou sub-rudder extremely bad.
The project to dredge the Tongzhou section of the canal started quickly, and the amount of work every night was not bad. Especially when the old man designed several sets of pulleys to help speed up the dredging, the speed of dredging the canal suddenly accelerated.
But at this moment, the people from the Caobang sub-rudder swaggered over and told the official in charge of the construction that the project of dredging the canal must be taken over by the Caobang brothers, otherwise the project that was running well would have to be stopped.
There was no other way. With the threats from the Caobang gang members, the civilian men hired by the government did not have the courage to continue working.
Lying on the grass is simply seeking death!
The elder was furious when he heard the news. He sat at the construction site by the canal that night. He didn't expect that the Cao Gang's helmsmen actually dared to come and cause trouble. When he saw the elder, he didn't have the slightest fear and clamored to start the construction.
All the tools were smashed, and the construction workers who did not obey the instructions were also beaten.
Simply lawless!
How can the elder be so polite? He waved his hand and directly greeted the officials who brought them, knocked them all to the ground and took them away. That night, he made these arrogant guys kneel on the construction site all night.
The next day, before the elder went to the office, Caobang Tongzhou Branch Captain Zhou sent a letter of greetings to him, inviting him to a restaurant on a certain section of the canal.
Is the elder still afraid?
He came over with his confidants and a few government servants who liked him.
Captain Zhou acted like a big boss and insisted on being on an equal footing with the big boss, so there was nothing much to say.
The eldest man took the initiative and silenced Captain Zhou with the man who cheated him out of money. The man's attitude was really tough, and his demeanor revealed a flaw, which made the eldest man catch the flaw instantly.
Mentioning the Cao Clan member who cheated the money and ran away, Captain Zhou's expression flashed with a hint of unnaturalness that was not easy to detect, but unfortunately the elder saw it clearly.
Obviously, Captain Zhou not only knew about that guy, he might also have benefited a lot from him.
Then there is nothing to say. The elder's tough attitude aroused Captain Zhou's ferocity, and then he flipped the table and knocked it to the ground after he disagreed.
"Tell me, where is the guy who swindled money?"
After returning to the Yamen, the elder specially took care of the cell leader, arranged a single cell for Captain Zhou, and gave him full 'VIP' treatment.
After waiting for the post office, the eldest master Shi Shiran went to the prison to interrogate him personally, but he was unexpectedly greeted with a disdainful sneer from Captain Zhou.
"Master Jia is so courageous. He dares to go against the Caobang. I admire him!"
Captain Zhou looked like a majestic and unyielding bachelor, his face full of displeasure and sneers.
Snapped!
The eldest man signaled with a wink, and his confidant immediately rushed over and gave him a big slap in the face. Captain Zhou was stunned until the corner of his mouth bleeded from the slap.
"Let's not talk about whether you can represent the entire Cao Gang!"
The elder slowly flicked the non-existent dust on his elastic sleeves and said with a leisurely smile: "If you dare to go against the government, all gangs will have to kneel down!"
"Hey, Mr. Jia has such a loud tone!"
Captain Zhou was stubborn and ignored the slap just now and said disdainfully, "Once the millions of members of my Cao Gang get angry, Master Jia will not be able to bear it!"
"Can you have some brains?"
The elder curled his lips and said disdainfully: "How about I write a testimony for you, saying that millions of members of the Cao Gang are dissatisfied with the governor of Tongzhou and want the court to replace him with an honest official?"
"not so good!"
Captain Zhou thought he was used to being arrogant and didn't care at all about the big hole dug by the elder. He sneered, "Master Jia, there is no need to show off in front of someone. I believe you will regret it in a short time!"
"I'll make you regret it first!"
Seeing that this guy was not good at anything and was still looking full of superiority, the elder knew that it would be difficult to find out the guy who cheated money from him, so he stood up and ordered: "Beat him for a while, and then call Captain Zhou."
You know the rules in the prison, otherwise others would really think that I am scared, Master!"
With that said, he turned around and left, ignoring the angry scolding of Captain Zhou behind him, the sound of banging and slapping that followed, and the screams and groans of Captain Zhou who suddenly changed his tune.
"Sir, Mr. Zhao from the west of the city, Mr. Qian from the east of the city, Mr. Sun and Mr. Li from the south of the city are all here. They want to ask you to let Captain Zhou go!"
At this time, the boy who was left behind at the back office hurried over to report.
Tsk tsk, he is indeed the backbone of the Caogang who claims to have helped millions of people. As soon as something goes wrong, rich men from the city come to plead for mercy.
It's just that if the eldest master is unhappy, it's useless for anyone to come.
"Tell them, sir, I have something to do. If you want to see me, please line up!"
The elder waved his hand and drove the boy who reported the message away. When he turned around, he summoned several left-behind squad leaders from the yamen and asked directly: "Do you know where Captain Zhou's home is?"
The team leaders were stunned when they heard this, as if they thought of something terrible, their expressions suddenly changed and they started to tremble.
"Sir, why do you ask this?"
One of the class leaders had the courage to ask, with his head lowered and cautiously not daring to raise his head.
"Of course I went to rob Captain Zhou's house!"
The elder didn't care and said calmly: "Isn't it better to go and check out the place?"
"My lord, you must not do this!"
The faces of several class leaders changed wildly, and they all tried to dissuade them, feeling panic in their hearts.
"I don't know, sir, but Captain Zhou has hundreds of brothers under his command. If one of them is not good enough, there could be big trouble!"
"Exactly, Master Zhou has used the power of the Cao Gang to make friends with many powerful factions in Chengzhong. Their power can not be underestimated, sir!"
"My lord, please think twice. It is unwise to put yourself in danger for a character like Captain Zhou!"
"..."
It can be seen that although the heads of the class have dissatisfaction on their faces, their words of persuasion are still somewhat sincere.
only……
"Do you think that Captain Zhou will give up easily even though I have made him half paralyzed by me?"
After the class leaders took a break, the elder finally opened his mouth and asked with a smile.
This, of course, is impossible!
Several team leaders looked at each other, but they had a clear understanding of the elder's thoughts. But did this make them more and more uneasy?
"Since you have offended people to death, you naturally cannot give them any room for recovery. If you don't beat them to death with a stick, why don't you wait for them to regain their strength and retaliate?"
The elder smiled, waved his hand, and said directly: "Okay, no need to talk nonsense, let's get to work!"
At this moment, the image of the big boss is clearly the same as the villain bureaucrat in film and television novels, but he doesn't care.
Having no choice but to weigh the pros and cons, several team leaders rushed to Captain Zhou's mansion like a boss chasing a rabbit, and then broke in directly without being polite at all.
It goes without saying that there was a lot of excitement, but fortunately, the eldest master strictly ordered not to harm any women, children, and dependents in the house, otherwise the eldest master would not mind operating on his subordinates first.
After half an afternoon of exhaustive search, which almost reached the level of scratching the ground, under the personal supervision of the elder, the large sum of gold, silver, jewelry and several boxes of account books were all brought back to the Yamen. The woman in the house
Although the mother-in-law and the maid were frightened, they were not harmed at all.
When they returned to Zhouya, the co-presidents, magistrates, and officials from the six houses all gathered in Zhouya, who had already left the Yamen to go home. They all looked gloomy and uneasy, and almost cried when they saw the elder.
"Sir, you have made a big mistake this time. Captain Zhou's home has been confiscated, and the families and forces related to it must be angry and resentful!"
The new colleague looked depressed and complained repeatedly: "It's too impulsive. Sir, you are too impulsive!"
"Why are you so long-winded? Since you know how powerful it is, let's help you clear up the account books collected from Captain Zhou's house. Master, I think I can find the material that led to his death!"
The elder waved his hand and said unceremoniously: "If you don't want to join, leave early. This matter has reached this point. Is there any room for maneuver?"
Unexpectedly, the situation was so obvious that half of the officials of the state government were left last. The elder just commented lightly: "A bunch of idiots, just waiting to wear small shoes!"
The remaining officials felt a chill in their hearts. Why hadn't they seen the evil attributes of the elder before?
