DAY 357 OPENING OF THE PORT (23)
It's night, outside the study room of Mr. Niu.
Mr. Niu is a close friend of Mr. Xie and one of the stewards of the Restaurant Alliance. Sitting opposite him at the moment is Capt. Cao, who showed off his face today.
"Brother Cao has shown his ability in what happened today." The chubby Mr. Niu squinted his eyes and looked in a good mood. While saying good things, he pushed a large bag of silver across the table.
It’s no wonder that he was in a good mood: Capt. Cao used his extraordinary power to arrest Deng Hu and a group of his men, which was tantamount to solving a big problem for the restaurant alliance.
You must know that every day Deng Hu is away, these people will be in fear all day long, and they will have to spend money to subsidize the servants. The cost is very high, and if it doesn't work, it will become a bottomless pit.
"If you masters want to deal with him, that villain must work hard." Capt. Cao also smiled. He took the credit for himself without any shame, and also took the money on the table.
When the cattle officer saw Capt. Cao collecting the money outside, he nodded and continued: "Well, it's not a good thing that Deng Hu is living in prison right now."
Speaking of this, Officer Niu raised his eyelids and glanced at Cao Cao: "I heard that guy has a lot of friends in the world, and there are people behind him. He comes and goes, and the nights are long and the dreams are many..."
When Capt. Cao heard Xuange and knew the meaning, he immediately understood what the other party meant: "It's easy to say, after the elder has convicted this guy in three days, he will die in prison."
When Capt. Cao said this, he frowned: "But in this case, it will involve a lot. The jailer and others will be involved, and the county magistrate is not good-looking."
"It doesn't matter!" Mr. Niu looked like he was talking about big business. He stretched out a fat palm and suppressed the rest of Cao Cao's words: "I promise you five hundred taels of silver, you can take it yourself."
I will share the profits with the prison chief. I only want Deng Hu’s life, and I will pay the money when I see it, and I won’t worry about anything else.”
"As for the elder, I have an old friend to visit the county government tomorrow. Don't worry, the elder will never embarrass you over this matter."
"Deal!" Cao Baotou looked determined at this time, but secretly he was elated: Deng Hu's life, he sold it to Zhang Butcher in the afternoon, and now he sold it again to Cao Yuanwai. It is so comfortable to deal with rich people.
Yes, he is full of energy now.
After reaching an agreement, both the guest and the host picked up the tea bowls at the same time and took a sip with a smile.
After putting down the bowl, the cattle officer took out a silk handkerchief from his sleeve and wiped his mouth, then coughed, and then continued: "There is another thing. Those dozen helpers are not good people, they are all Deng Hu's best friends.
To prevent future troubles, we have to cancel this trip altogether."
When Capt. Cao heard this, he shook his head: "It's difficult. We just killed a group of thieves, and now we've arrested Deng Hu. We're going to attack more than a dozen people at once. I'm afraid the boss will stop the lawsuit, but I don't have the strength here."
.”
...
In order to smear their faces, the ancient imperial court often made some very outrageous moves. For example, the emperor played amnesty and released the condemned prisoners, and then boasted about the so-called benevolent monarch and the prosperous and peaceful age - Li Shimin was a master of this.
This habit has a long history, and corresponds to the following states and counties. The crime rate in a place can even affect the future of county officials. In order to whitewash peace, they even stop issuing notices under the banner of the busy farming season. In addition to homicide cases, the government
No other cases will be accepted.
This kind of ostrich-like behavior of settling lawsuits is essentially a kind of deception... The government tries its best to do nothing in filing cases, which is a very funny way of governing.
This is what Captain Cao just said. There have been many cases in the county recently. For the county magistrate, a group of thieves just rebelled not long ago, and now there is Deng Hu's murder case. If the master is allowed to do it again,
If a dozen gangsters were sentenced together, the master would probably not be happy with it.
"Well, force is not the answer." Officer Niu agreed with Cao Captou's statement. However, he rolled his eyes and quickly thought of a countermeasure: "If the victims hear that their enemies have been brought to justice, they will go to the county government one after another to petition.
If you make noise, you will not ignore the passion of the people, right?"
"Haha." Capt. Cao laughed, with a look on his face as if he was watching a good show: "If you act like this, then the great master loves the people like his own son and will definitely punish the culprits severely."
"Those helpers do all kinds of evil on weekdays, and they also have many enemies." When Niu Yuanwai said this, his thoughts on petitioning in the 17th century became clearer and clearer: "I will arrange people here to do things like instigating the suffering people. You can do it tomorrow.
Go and look through the files and get the name, address, and circumstances of the case."
"This is easy to handle."
"Well, there is no need to give a heavy sentence. We just need to let these people stay in jail for a year or two, and when the limelight passes, they will die slowly."
"Congratulations!"
In the dark night, the fate of Deng Hu and his group was decided. It seemed that no force had any involvement in the whole process, and everything was a natural evolution of the indigenous people.
As time goes by in the future, what some people did in this conflict will probably be known to some interested people... But by then, time has passed and it will no longer matter.
Three days later, the county government held another court hearing. With all the witnesses and material evidence and the prisoner's confession, the county magistrate sentenced Deng Hu for murder on the spot, put him in heavy shackles and sent him to death row, and reported the file to the government government.
, just wait until the Queen of Autumn asks to kill Deng Hu.
On the same day, because he could not bear the harassment of so many victims crying at the yamen gate, the county magistrate had no choice but to hold his nose and send Deng Hu to prison.
So far, the tragedy caused by a business has come to an end - Deng Hu's criminal gang paid a heavy price, the main members were eliminated in one fell swoop, the rest of the miscellaneous people scattered away, and the most prosperous gang in the county collapsed overnight.
Closed and ceased to exist.
...
The collapse of Deng's gang is no longer important news to Xiong Dao, who has many things to do. The strength gap between the two sides is too big. As long as the agents trained by the time-travelers have an average level, then they will definitely be able to fight no matter what.
suspense.
So when his subordinates came to report to Xiong Dao what happened to Deng Hu, Xiong Dao, who was accompanying guests at the port, just listened to it and then forgot about it.
Today’s guest is Feng Guanjie, who came all the way from Taiwan.
Feng Guanjie had been staying in Miasu before, and his task sounded simple: to build the Miasu Oilfield. However, it was not simple to do. The construction of various residential and storage areas, oil wells, and the most troublesome mountain roads and cableways
All of them cost him a lot of energy.
Back then, the Japanese used a cableway system similar to mine carts to transport crude oil in Miasu. After Feng Guanjie investigated the local terrain, he had no choice but to choose the cableway system like the Japanese - it was not cost-effective to build hardened roads in mountainous areas.
Because after opening up Nanyang in a few years, Miaosu will be abandoned, so the stone path ropeway system is suitable.
Chapter completed!
