Concubine

Chapter 321
Carpenter Sun Mi said: "It's a man, 50 to [-] years old, neither fat nor thin, and he doesn't look like he is from a poor family. At that time, he asked me the price of this summer mat. Because it was late, I told the real price. After he lowered the price, I heard that there was still some profit, so I didn't bother to carry it back, so the deal was done. Then he paid the money, and asked a follower who looked like a buddy to carry it away."

"The buddy carried it away? Do you think that person looks like a buddy? Is he a follower?" Yang Qiuchi asked.This buddy and the follower are two different things, and the identity of the master introduced is also different.

"It looks like a chap in his attire, not a footman. The chap seems to be respectful to him."

man?So this person may be the shopkeeper in the commercial ticket.Why did he buy such a large bundle of mats at once?Yang Qiuchi pondered, most people buy mats, at most two or three mats are about the same, and they will not buy a large bundle, is it a peddler who does the business of buying and selling?Or is it for the guys in the business ticket?
Yang Qiuchi ordered the arrester to bring Carpenter Sun Mi back to the Yamen, and asked a painter to draw a portrait of the man who sold the summer mat.

Song Yun'er, Shuang'er, and Xue'er saw that Yang Qiuchi quickly found a clue again, and they were very happy for him, but Yang Qiuchi didn't dare to be blindly optimistic this time. It is a little easier to handle, but if it is a long-distance vendor outside the city, it will be miserable.Even the people in Bazhou City, with so many people in the city, it's hard to find them. Could it be that the policemen sit on the street and catch them one by one for comparison?
I can only take one step at a time and see my luck as Earl of Zhenyuan.

Back at the yamen, Yang Qiuchi arranged for the police to call the yamen painter to draw the person who bought the summer mat according to the description of Carpenter Sun.I came to the yamen signing room and waited for news while handling complicated official affairs.

After the portrait was drawn, Zhan Zhengzhan took a few arresters and came to the signing room with a lot of thoughts. After all the scribes were withdrawn, Zhan the head told Yang Qiuchi in a low voice that the painting was to buy a summer mat. The person, they all know him, is indeed the shopkeeper of a firm named Lin Xiang, who lives in the "Chuanjia Firm" in the south of Bazhou City.

Yang Qiuchi was overjoyed, and ordered the police officers to immediately arrest the trader Lin Xiang and bring him to the Yamen for interrogation.Those policemen, you look at me, I look at you, and none of them moved their nests.

Yang Qiuchi glared at them: "What are you doing? Don't you obey my orders?"

Yang Qiuchi was conferred the title of Earl of Zhenyuan by the emperor, the imperial court has made a national announcement below, and these police officers are all complacent that they have such a high official as their boss.They dare not obey Yang Qiuchi's orders.It's just that Lin Xiang has a lot of background, if he doesn't say it, something will happen in the future, but they will be blamed.Then the head catcher Zhan said with a smile on his face: "My lord, how dare you disobey orders, it's just that this man..., if you arrest him...you'd better think long-term."

Yang Qiuchi frowned: "Which temple are relatives of ghosts and snake gods? Even my count can't hold back?"

Zhan Butou smiled all over his face: "That's not true. You are the Earl of Zhenyuan, and you are a super-ranking lord. Talking about this Bazhou city, even in the whole of Sichuan, which of the chief secretary's adults is higher than you?" How old are you?"

Yang Qiuchi nodded with a smile, a little smug, he became a lord at a young age, which is something to be happy about.

Zhan Butou continued: "It's just that this Lin Xiang, although he doesn't have any support in the imperial court on the surface, but he is a small shopkeeper of our Eastern Sichuan Ship Gang."

"The boat gang?" Yang Qiuchi asked suspiciously, "A boat runner?"

Zhan Butou lowered his voice and said: "It's not an ordinary boat runner. This boat gang is a river and lake gang composed of people who run boats on rivers and rivers in eastern Sichuan. It seems that they are transporting things for business, but secretly they have done a lot. Light thing."

"Oh? What did you do?"

Zhan Butou was a little embarrassed: "This... This villain really doesn't know."

Yang Qiuchi saw that he was looking forward and backward, and thought to himself, since this boat gang is some kind of fucking underworld, the head catcher didn't dare to provoke them, so he didn't force him anymore, although he didn't speak, he still snorted heavily .

Zhan Zheng was even more embarrassed: "My lord, don't get me wrong, villain... the villain really doesn't know. What they do in the boat gang is hidden, how can we people with six doors know." After a pause, he peeked at Yang Qiuchi's still sullen face, gritted his teeth, and said bravely, "My lord, the villain only knows the people who offended them, and it seems that something happened..."

"Oh? So arrogant? What happened?" Yang Qiuchi asked with a smile.

Catcher Zhan shut his mouth and didn't speak, but looked back, and the other cops hurried out to the door to guard, and then he said in a low voice with a bitter face: "Let's not talk about the distance, let's take Shen Feng, the previous magistrate, to relax. Let me tell you, it was a small case that offended the boat gang. Not long after, his wife Pan and his one-year-old son disappeared. It was several days later that their bodies were found in the lower reaches of the Ba River. ~Ah, that’s why Zhizhou went crazy.”

With a gloomy face, Yang Qiuchi asked, "Is there any evidence to prove that they did it?"

"How can there be any evidence, but there is a moon pattern engraved on the forehead of the corpse, like a ship. This is the symbol of the boat gang. They will leave such a symbol when they kill people."

"So arrogant?" Yang Qiuchi frowned: "However, anyone can carve such a sign, and this alone can't catch them. It may also be framed."

"Yeah, that's exactly how it is, so there's nothing we can do about them. The Baoning Mansion sent a general judge, and the prosecuting officer also sent a pusher to investigate. After searching for a long time, they didn't find any results, so they went back. In fact, everyone knows what’s going on. The people in the boat gang were very proud at that time, and they deliberately set off firecrackers at the gate of the yamen.”

"Oh? This boat gang is really daring to the extreme!" Yang Qiuchi's eyes widened, and he asked, "What else is related to them?"

"There are too many," Zhan Butou said, "Not to mention other places, just in our city of Bazhou, the several kidnapping and murder cases that happened in the past few years were obviously done by them, but they couldn't get any evidence. Besides, our Bazhou mountain is high and the emperor is far away, as long as there is no rebellion, the higher-ups will turn a blind eye, and no one is willing to risk their lives to take care of this matter."

"Where are you arresters? Don't you want to check it out?" Yang Qiuchi couldn't help but say something. In fact, he also knew that his superiors didn't care about it. What can these young people care about?Who dares to control it?

Sure enough, Zhan Zhengzhan, the old catcher, blushed slightly, and said falteringly: "I'm not afraid of your old joke. After all, we eat this bowl of public rice to support our family. No one wants to fight with them with their wealth and life. As long as If they don’t mess with us, we’ll just pretend we didn’t see it.” Catcher Zhan hesitated for a moment, then added: “Actually, it’s out of our control, they’re covered by someone above them.”

Of course the underworld will have a protective umbrella. Yang Qiuchi fully understands the helplessness of these small policemen in the face of a powerful gang, and asked: "Who is covering it?"

Zhan Zheng smiled wryly and shook his head: "This... I don't know about this, anyway, every time something happens, the superiors send people down to investigate, but they leave without any results,...they are greeted and sent by the boat gang when they come down, You can still find a fart!"

Yang Qiuchi nodded, and asked again: "Where is the headquarters of this boat gang, do you know?"

"How can we know such things, but if I know, I'm afraid I won't live long, and I might die on the street someday."

Yang Qiuchi pondered, it seems that this boat gang is obviously a gangster, this kind of gangster must have a protective umbrella, otherwise, it would not be so rampant that they killed the wives and children of the court officials and no one cares about them.

However, since it happened, Yang Qiuchi must take care of it.He is the special envoy of Jin Yiwei Commander, who has the power to kill first and then play. He has the trump card of Jin Yiwei in his hand, and masters such as Liu Ruobing and Song Yun'er, and there are people who block people. I can't fight against a Jianghu gang, even if this boat gang has a backer, I still have to fight with them. I am still a super first-rank earl, and I have a gold medal from the emperor to avoid death. The emperor still counts on me to catch Jianwen. Big officials are not afraid.

Of course, Yang Qiuchi also knew that he had to be careful in fighting the gangsters, and he also didn't want to gamble with his wealth and life, so he had to pay attention to strategies and methods.Where there is life, there is hope.

Seeing that Yang Qiuchi's face was uncertain, Zhan Zhengzhan persuaded him with a smile: "My lord, this boat gang has a lot of power, as long as he doesn't mess with us, let's leave their business alone. This Li Let's investigate the stupid thing from the sidelines slowly, if it doesn't work, we'll use that Sun Bamboo Carpenter as an excuse..."

Zhan Zheng raised his eyes and saw that Yang Qiuchi didn't express anything. Knowing that this method didn't suit him, he quickly changed his mind and said, "Why don't you spend some money to find a death row prisoner to take care of this matter, and you can always get it back, and you can't delay it." Your old achievements."

Yang Qiuchi didn't want to startle the snake, so he deliberately thought about it, then nodded, and sighed: "Endure the calm for a while, and take a step back to open up the sea and the sky. All right, I will do as you said."

Catcher Zhan let out a long sigh of relief. Although Yang Qiuchi is a super-rank earl, he is kind and treats his subordinates very well. He has been a policeman for so many years. This is the first time he has met such a boss. Seeing him so young As a high-ranking official, he naturally has a bright future, but I can't bear to let him confront this gangster head-on.Now that he said he was willing to give in, I thought he had really figured it out, and I was really happy for him.

Catcher Zhan held the portrait and asked Yang Qiuchi: "My lord, this hunt..."

Yang Qiuchi sighed deliberately again, took the portrait from him helplessly, and said, "Forget about it for now, let's leave it here, and we'll talk about it later. The craftsman Sun will be put in prison first."

The truth of Li Hanbao's case has not yet come to light, and the craftsman Sun has no time to witness, and he is still suspected of a serious crime, so he cannot be released for the time being.

Detective Zhan bowed his waist and said with a smile: "Okay, that villain is leaving." He stepped back a few steps and left the signing room, leading the policemen at the door and leaving.

Yang Qiuchi waited for them to go far away, then he slapped the table and said with a sneer, "Hey, I want to see what kind of superpower this boat gang is!"

Yang Qiuchi pondered for a long time in the signing room, and then called the personal guard Nan Gongxiong in, and gave him instructions in a low voice for a while.Nan Gongxiong nodded and went out.
