Reborn South Africa as a police officer

Chapter 163 Ruthless (fifth update, please subscribe)

In fact, there is a way to perfectly solve this problem.

Matilda Gold Mine changed the weekly salary to monthly salary, or annual salary, so naturally there is no such problem.

But the premise of changing the payment method is that the Chinese miners fully trust the Matilda Gold Mine.

And trusting this thing is the most difficult thing to figure out. With the lesson of being deceived by the De Beers Consolidated Mining Company, although the Matilda Gold Mine looks good now, it is really difficult for Chinese miners to trust Matilda. up to the gold mine.

This is like being bitten by a snake once and being afraid of well ropes for ten years.

Fears finally became a reality before dinner on payday. An inexperienced miner carelessly put the money in his trousers pocket while taking a shower. After taking a shower, the young miner found that he had just got it. The salary is missing.

It was a bolt from the blue!

A small theft case instantly affected the hearts of all the miners.

Again, don’t overestimate the moral bottom line of people these days. When people can’t even eat, in fact, no matter whether they are British, Boers, Zulus, or Chinese, they don’t have any moral bottom line. Isn’t that true? What racial inferiority is, but it is forced by the dog-day world. When three meals are unsustainable, morality becomes a luxury.

He knows the etiquette from the warehouse, and knows the honor and disgrace if he has enough food and clothing. If he can't even eat, he can't care about his dignity.

Understanding is understanding, whether you can accept it is another matter.

People like to watch the excitement, but they don't like to be watched by others. When it's not about their own interests, how many people can stay out of it?

This issue is closely related to the vital interests of all Chinese miners.

So the Chinese miners didn't even want to eat dinner, and gathered downstairs in the office, hoping that the management of the mine could find out where the lost money went as soon as possible.

Yes, the sooner the better.

The management is scratching their heads a lot. Sam is good at management, but not solving cases.

Tie Hook is good at fighting and is equally unfamiliar with solving cases.

As a result, the case was reported layer by layer, and finally reported to Rock.

Rock was simple. He asked Li De for a gold coin, and asked Gothe to lead his hunting dog. Three or five people came to the Matilda Gold Mine after a stroll.

It seemed relaxed, but Rock was actually full of anger.

It's only been a few good days, and you can't help but make trouble so soon?

For cheap leather, Rock has never been impatient, and he doesn't want to play "last chance" in a mysterious way. There are hounds, so it's not too easy to find a few shillings. Soon, an older miner was pulled from the crowd by the hounds. find out.

"Master, I've been fooled by lard—" the shameless guy burst into tears after being caught.

There was no dispute that everyone had just been paid a pound and a shilling, and he had two pounds in his pocket, which required no explanation at all.

"Damn it, I still treat you as my family—" The miner who lost his money was furious, and he was about to beat the old man violently when he came up, and the four of them barely hugged him.

This is a powerful one!

The old man didn't resist, knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly, and soon his forehead was covered with blood.

"Take him away and give it to De Beers Consolidated Mining Company—" Rock's time is precious, and he doesn't have time to entangle with these trivial matters all day, so he simply does it all at once.

Give it to De Beers Consolidated Mines!

That also means, returning to the previous life, no salary, no chicken legs, a dark mine, a hopeless life——

"Please forgive me, please forgive me, I will pay, I will do my best, I will never dare again—" The old man never expected that the result would be so serious, he knelt on the ground and walked a few steps, wanting to come up to hug Roque thigh.

Without Rock's hands, Gothe kicked the old man to the ground, and the two policemen went up to pick up the old man and left.

"Please forgive me, please forgive me—" The old man struggled hard, his tongue was kicked by Gao De just now, and blood was still spraying out of his mouth, looking very miserable.

Everyone, including the miners and the police, fell silent when they saw this scene, and they no longer looked at the old man with hatred, but only pity.

The young man who lost the money probably didn't expect Rock to be so decisive. He watched in a daze as the old man was dragged away and drifted away. Only the old man's wailing echoed in the night sky.

The old man no longer begged for mercy, but howled in an indescribable way, like a lone wolf abandoned by a pack of wolves.

Today's scene must have left a deep impression on everyone.

In fact, what should be done and what should not be done. Most of the time, no one needs to be taught. We are all adults. Whether we will make mistakes depends on whether the price to be paid after making a mistake is high enough. If the price is high enough, then we will not make mistakes. .

"I've been here for so long and I haven't said hello to my brothers. My name is Rock, the chief of the Johannesburg Police Department. I will ensure your safety. As long as you work hard and keep yourself safe, I can guarantee that you will all get what you want. Yes, but the premise is that you can’t commit crimes. In Johannesburg, if someone bullies you for no reason, you can call them back. If you can’t call me, go to the police station and find me. I won’t give you a chance to reform.” Rock’s policy is to use heavy codes in troubled times, and Johannesburg is still under military control, and military law is the law.

The miners hadn't recovered from the shock just now, and no one dared to respond to Rock's words.

Rock didn't need the miners' response either. He turned around and got on his horse before leaving. The number of Chinese miners is still small, and the number of Chinese miners will increase in the future. Rock has no time to wait for them to grow.

In other words, it is normal for a thousand miners to have thirty or fifty incompetent ones. Rock's attitude towards these people is to abandon them directly, instead of giving them a chance to reform themselves. Seven captures and seven moves are fun. ?

Rock is not Zhuge Liang. If there is a man like Meng Huo among the Chinese miners, Rock will cut down the sacrificial flag the first time he catches it. This may be a good story in history, but it will not leave a bad example.

Zhuge Liang is also a talent, he was able to catch Meng Huo seven times, but he didn't give Ma Di a single chance, but what he left behind was all good talk, where is the beauty?

This night, many miners will suffer from insomnia. Whether they like it or not, they have to learn to adapt to Rock's way of working.

-

Back at the Jinshan Hotel, Rock returned the gold coins he had just borrowed from Li De to Li De.

"What if the police dogs couldn't find the lost money just now?" Li De was quite curious.

Rock smiled and didn't answer, just casually glanced at the gold coin in Li De's hand.

Li De understood immediately, if the police dogs couldn't find the suspect just now, then Rock just stuffed the gold coins he borrowed from Li De into a corner, and the case could be closed.

Although the effect will definitely not be so good, it will not damage Rock's prestige.

Back in the office, Rock called Henry.

The same dial phone as Alfred Milner.

"The gold mine has been operating normally for a week, and the profit is 5000 pounds. Should I divide it now or keep it in the account?" Rock didn't make the decision. 5000 pounds is not a lot of money to Rock now, and Rock hoped that Henry would think the same.

"You decide, anyway, I don't need money now." Henry didn't disappoint Rock, but he was very demanding: "Why is it so small? We all have gold mines, shouldn't we become the richest man in the world in a month or two? "

Henry was in a good mood, and he laughed before he finished speaking, probably because he also felt unreliable.

"The gold mine has just started to resume operations, and the health of the miners has not fully recovered, and there is still room for improvement in the output—" Rock is not in a hurry, the Matilda Gold Mine is a rich mine, and now it is the workers who restrict the output Quantity, under normal circumstances, a rich mine of the size of the Matilda Gold Mine requires at least [-] workers. Now, it is still far from the limit of the Matilda Gold Mine.

"Don't worry about the gold mine, just calculate the time, my father will be here soon, and Phyllis and I will go to Cape Town to pick him up, will you go?" Henry asked casually, but the meaning was a bit deep.

"I'll go—no way—" Rock hesitated a little. It was only natural for Henry and Phyllis to pick up the boat, so what did Rock go to?

"You can do whatever you want, but I have to remind you that my father is likely to go to Johannesburg." Henry gave Rock a reason.

"Come to Johannesburg to be the governor?" Rock was pleasantly surprised.

With the relationship between Rock and Henry, if Henry's father came to Johannesburg to be the governor, then Rock would really be able to walk sideways in Johannesburg.

"There is only one governor in Transvaal and Orange—" Henry snorted, looking depressed, "Probably the mayor!"

mayor!

Not bad.

"Okay, remember to inform me when you go to Cape Town." Rock promised, at this time, he must have a sense of presence in front of Henry's father.

"Probably these few days, you come to Pretoria first tomorrow." Henry is not sure, although there is wireless telegraphy, but it has not been popularized yet. Henry's father has no way to communicate with the outside world after boarding the ship. .

"Okay." Rock also wanted to go back to Pretoria, Zach and Anna were still in Pretoria.

The plan always failed to keep up with the changes, and when he slept until midnight, Rock was suddenly awakened by a knock on the door.

"Boss, Yaya's subordinates have discovered a guerrilla—" Li De's voice was full of excitement.

Rock was immediately in high spirits, whether it was Quentin Summerfield or not, it represented a battle.

"Last night, Yaya's scouts found more than 30 cavalrymen entering the Bloomfield Farm near Holfontein. The scouts could not confirm whether it was the guerrillas led by Quentin Summerfield, but those cavalrymen They are Boers, and they are carrying weapons, so they must be guerrillas—" Li De reported while helping Rock with equipment.

"Is the commando ready?" Rock wanted to lead the team.

"Get ready." Li De was already fully armed.

Then go, fuck him!
