Rebirth: The Rise of Xiangjiang Text Volume 0950 [Drive out the wolf and devour the tiger!] Yan Xiong stood by the fountain with a whiskey in his hand, lost in thought.
He didn't know who the "noble man" in Chen Zhichao's words was, but he understood immediately and hurriedly ran to inquire about the horse racing situation. He soon learned the news that horse racing No. 7 "Invincible" was about to start racing.
Yan Xiong continued to inquire and soon learned that the owner of this "invincible" horse was actually the beloved horse of Hong Kong's famous Justice of the Peace, a knight of the British Empire, and the Director of Public Prosecutions, Bai Liqu!
"Baili Canal?" Yan Xiong was shocked.
Almost everyone in Hong Kong doesn't know Bailiqu, the ghost guy known as "Hong Kong Bao Qingtian".
To be precise, as a big figure in the Hong Kong judiciary, Bailiqu is definitely a representative of the hardliners.
Not to mention anything else, he was promoted to Senior Deputy Prosecutor last year, ranking second only to the then Chief Prosecutor Sir Sir Lee Bee. However, Bailiqu and Lee Bee had different stances on sentencing policies.
But it caused differences between the two.
On the one hand, Li Bi advocated that we should follow the trend and adopt a light sentencing policy for young offenders; but on the other hand, Bailiqu believed that harsh sentences would have a deterrent effect.
In addition, Bailiqu advocated that if the death penalty system is not completely abolished, it should continue to be executed, and pointed out that if the British government takes the initiative to ask the Queen to pardon the death row prisoners, it will put the Hong Kong Governor in a very embarrassing situation...
Although Li Bi once pointed out that Hong Kong's prison system has caused "bitter consequences" and "moral degradation", and advocated that the court should not impose long-term imprisonment on offenders, Bailiqu disagreed, believing that even though prison sentences are not a perfect solution, they are
It is an important "weapon" in the court.
The differences between the two made Bailiqu never preside over any criminal cases while Li Bi was serving as prosecutor, and was only responsible for hearing civil cases.
In May 1970, Li Bi officially retired, and Bailiqu, who served as deputy, officially took over and was knighted by the British court in recognition of his performance in the judicial field for many years.
At this point, Sir Bailiqu has become the most powerful figure in the British judicial circles in Hong Kong. In addition, the current Hong Kong Governor Dai Lingzhi is in office for one more year and has decentralized many powers long ago, so that Bailiqu's power is even greater than that of Hong Kong.
The governor returned the prestige! Since then, Bailiqu has become the target that countless dignitaries want to curry favor with and get to know!
Who is Yan Xiong? After thinking for a moment, he figured out the key. At this moment, he no longer cared about anything. He directly called his two men, Douji Qiang and Agui, and asked them to collect half a million yuan no matter what method they used.
, he wants to take a gamble!
In the past, a sum like five hundred thousand would have been nothing to Yan Xiong, and he didn't even bother to look at it.
But now Yan Xiong's house was ransacked by Lan Gang and Ding Yongqiang, and even his mother had to return to work on the sewing machine to mend clothes to supplement the family income. Five hundred thousand was now an astronomical figure for him.
Doujiqiang and Agui, as Yan Xiong's confidants, were also implicated when Yan Xiong's home was ransacked. What was even worse was that not only were their homes ransacked, but they were also imprisoned.
After Yan Xiong met Chen Zhichao, he was promoted to detective by Chen Zhichao. Only then did Yan Xiong use his connections to rescue the two of them.
At this moment, after receiving Yan Xiong's order, the two of them had mixed emotions. Fortunately, they tried their best to finally collect 300,000 yuan - it can be said that this is all their assets! They even borrowed part of it from loan sharks!
When Yan Xiong saw this, he didn't scold Dou Chong for forcing them to do things badly, because he also knew what his current situation was.
At this time, the horse racing was about to begin. Yan Xiong directly put all 300,000 into it and directly bought "Invincible" to win!
Douji Qiang and Agui were in a nervous mood. They had worked hard to scrape together the 300,000 yuan. Now looking at Yan Ye's vows, he must have received "tips" about horse racing - this "invincible" horse will definitely win.
Douji Qiang and Agui found a glass of water to drink, looking at the racecourse hopefully.
Soon the horse racing started, the jockey galloped the horse, and the crowd cheered like thunder!
Yan Xiong clenched his fists and his expression was extremely nervous!
In just a few minutes, the horse racing is over!
Douji Qiang and Agui, who were optimistic about being invincible, did not win, but only finished third!
When Yan Xiong saw this, he shouted: "Great!"
Douji Qiang and Agui almost vomited out after taking a sip of the shock-absorbing water. They looked at Yan Xiong and wondered if he was crazy? After losing 300,000 yuan, they were still so happy?!
Yan Xiong was convinced that he was invincible and failed. After he lost 300,000 yuan in one breath, he felt very happy. He even turned back to Douji Qiang and Agui and said, "You have done well. I will treat you to a drink tonight!"
Douji Qiang and Agui fainted again! They thought Yan Xiong was stupid, if not crazy!
Lose three hundred thousand in one breath and still keep applauding?!
Not to mention Douqiang and Agui, the tycoons who bet on horse racing were also surprised. After all, horse racing is different from other things. Few people would bet so heavily, and a bet of 300,000! You must know that in this era of 30
At least you can buy a building in Mong Kok!
Losing a building in one breath made the big guys commotion and couldn't help but point fingers at Yan Xiong.
But at this time, Yan Xiong knew very clearly the meaning of losing the three hundred thousand!
At first, Yan Xiong also thought that Chen Zhichao left a message before leaving, "The more you buy, the better", which meant that the horse would win and asked Yan Xiong to buy more to make money.
But after all, Yan Xiong is an old fox who has become a spirit. If you think about it carefully, you will understand that Chen Zhichao will never be so kind to take advantage of him! There is no reason to take care of himself and make a fortune!
He understood the mystery in a blink of an eye. If he lost 300,000 yuan on "Invincible" in one breath, it would definitely become a gimmick at this horse racing meeting! It attracted many big shots to start talking!
Then it is very likely that this "discussion" will reach the ears of the horse owner Sir Bailiqu, and then there will be something good to watch.
Just when Yan Xiong was speculating like this, Chen Zhichao appeared again and walked directly to Yan Xiong with a strange smile on his face.
"Chief Inspector Chen..."
Just as Yan Xiong was about to speak, Chen Zhichao had already spoken: "You did a great job! I saw the right person! Yan Xiong is indeed Yan Xiong!" As he spoke, Chen Zhichao picked up the cocktail from the bar next to him and handed it to him.
He said to Yan Xiong: "Stable No. 7 at the racecourse! Go! The noble man is waiting for you!"
Yan Xiong took the cocktail and drank it down in one gulp, and said to Chen Zhichao, "Thank you!" After saying that, he turned around and walked towards the racecourse below.
When Chen Zhichao saw Doujiqiang and Agui's surprised looks, a strange smile appeared on his lips, and he went up and asked, "How much money does Yan Xiong want you to collect?"
Douji Qiang and Agui looked at each other, "We were asked to raise 500,000 yuan, but we only raised 300,000 yuan!"
Chen Zhichao laughed loudly: "Five hundred thousand? This Yan Xiong really dares to fight!" After saying that, he turned and walked towards the racecourse.
…
Stables for racecourses.
Yan Xiong lost 300,000 yuan in one go and finally met the legendary Hong Kong judicial boss Bailiqu!
In fact, Sir Bailiqu has always been dissatisfied with corruption in Hong Kong.
In the 1950s, corruption was rampant in Hong Kong. At that time, corruption in Hong Kong was particularly prevalent in the government. Many public servants blatantly embezzled money to make money. More specific examples include firefighters receiving money before opening water pipes to put out fires, and ambulancemen asking for money first.
Patients are transported to the hospital only with "tea money". In the hospital, patients have to "reward" female workers commonly known as "aunties" in order to receive reasonable services. In addition, general public services such as waiting for public housing and applying for admission to the government
Schools also have to bribe responsible public officials.
Among all government departments, corruption in the police force is the most serious. Although this force is described as "the best force money can buy in the world" and was awarded the title of "Royal" by the Queen of England in 1969, many people have accepted bribes.
Police officers, especially Chinese police officers, have abused their power, amassed large sums of wealth and covered up various illegal crimes, seriously threatening social order and making many citizens miserable. The corruption of foreign Chief Superintendent Gerber
The case is just the tip of the iceberg.
As a big boss in the judicial department, Bailiqu's biggest goal after taking office is to combat corruption, especially corruption within the police force. This will be his first priority as a new official!
At this moment, Bailiqu, the ghost guy who is said to be even more majestic than the current Hong Kong Governor Dai Lingzhi, is wearing a straight gray-black suit, black-rimmed glasses, and a traditional 37 haircut, and is leading the horse "
The reins of "Invincible", and feeding it with fodder with the other hand.
The jockey next to him who had just lost the race was sweating profusely and explaining: "I'm sorry Sir, this horse was in good condition before the race. I checked it! Who knew there would be an accident midway, like its ankle?"
Something went wrong!”
Bailiqu finished feeding the fodder in his hand, handed the reins to the jockey and said: "Why are you so nervous? If you lose the game, you lose, and I don't blame you! Besides, although I am very optimistic about this horse, I don't
Think it can win as soon as it comes on the field!”
"Uh? Sir Sir, what do you mean?"
Bailiqu stroked the horse's head and said meaningfully: "This horse was transported from Great Britain. It used to eat and drink well in Britain, but when it came here, it didn't adapt to the climate and had no food. If it can win, it will be fine.
luck!"
After saying that, Bailiqu patted the horse's head and told the jockey: "Go ahead. Horse racing requires not only skills, but also familiarity with its diet and even its homesickness!"
"I understand, Sir!" The jockey led the horse into the stable.
Here, Chen Zhichao came forward with Yan Xiong: "Sir Sir, I have brought you here!"
Bailiqu took the wet towel handed over by the servant next to him and wiped his hands, then took his commonly used jujube cane, and then slowly turned back to look at Chen Zhichao and Yan Xiong.
Bailiqu's eyes moved from Chen Zhichao to Yan Xiong, and his eyes gradually became sharp, as if he could see through a person's internal organs.
Yan Xiong has been dealing with people all his life, and he can say that he has seen everyone, but at this moment, he is a little afraid to look into the eyes of this ghost guy. He thinks to himself, the rumors are indeed true, this Bailiqu is actually the Governor of Hong Kong and has the momentum!
Bailiqu's eyes narrowed from sharp to gentle, and he smiled and said, "Are you Inspector Yan Xiongyan?"
Yan Xiong hurriedly stepped forward and bowed: "Hello, I am Yan Xiong! Nice to meet you, Sir Bailiqu!"
Baili Qu smiled and said: "You should regret it! As soon as you met me, you lost three hundred thousand!"
Yan Xiong said hurriedly: "It's worth three hundred thousand to meet you Sir!"
"Hahaha!" Bailiqu laughed, then pointed at Yan Xiong and said: "You, you, you still can't get rid of your bad habits! I don't need to talk about this here, as long as you work seriously, everything will be easy!
"
Yan Xiong was overjoyed when he heard this. Knowing that Bailiqu's words were regarded as recognition of him, he was immediately excited and expressed his loyalty: "Sir Sir, from now on I will only follow your lead. If you ask me to go to Biandu, I will go to Biandu! Let me go to Biandu!
If I do something, I will do something!”
"Is this what you Chinese call loyalty? Well, I'm very happy that you can say this! But the world in Hong Kong is too chaotic. You were once a high-ranking member of the police force and a leader among Chinese detectives. You should understand this.
How rotten! I have never been soft on cancer! So are you willing to be a qualified scalpel?"
Bailiqu put on a lazy posture again. Of course, even so, the domineering nature of his words was clearly revealed.
Yan Xiong is a man with a quick mind. When Bailiqu asked this question, he naturally understood what Bailiqu meant.
According to Yan Xiong's understanding, Sir Bailiqu hates evil, especially the corruption in the police force. Since he dares to reuse Chen Zhichao and extends an olive branch to him, he undoubtedly wants to make some achievements for himself.
Let him take a look! To be precise, let Yan Xiong change from a embezzler to a whistleblower, or even a butcher!
Yan Xiong was thinking quickly in his mind, but he did not dare to neglect his words, and said quickly: "I have admired you very much, Lord Sir! This time, thanks to your respect, I, Yan Xiong, am willing to be a pawn, expose all the crimes of the police force, and fight with
Corruption is irreconcilable! Sir, please give me a chance. I will not only be the scalpel in your hands to remove the cancer, but I will also be able to turn over a new leaf and change my ways!"
Bailiqu smiled and looked at Detective Yan Xiong who expressed his attitude to him impassionedly.
He knows very well about these corrupt elements. They say one thing but do another!
What about reforming one's past and being a new person? If you have money, you may forget all these things!
But Bailiqu has no choice now. If he wants to defeat the big tiger Lei Luo, he must use the old fox Yan Xiong and the lone wolf Chen Zhichao!
Dog bites dog, one mouthful of hair!
It is imperative to drive away wolves and swallow tigers!
When these Chinese policemen fought to the death, it was him who swept away the smog in Hong Kong, completely suppressed the Chinese policemen, and allowed their outstanding British Empire gentlemen to take power again!
Thinking of this, Bailiqu smiled and said: "Very good, I am very satisfied with you! Then please start working! Since you are very familiar with corruption in the police force, then arrest it from the source! Fighting tigers, will you know?
?”
Before Yan Xiong could speak, Chen Zhichao stepped forward and said, "That tiger has had its teeth removed and is now teaching! Inspector Yan and I will definitely live up to expectations and thoroughly clean out his den!"
Bailiqu laughed and raised his cane: "I'm looking forward to seeing how many tiger cubs you can get?!"
