Chapter 357 Opening the Port (23)
It's night, in the study outside the cow.

Niu Yuanwai is a good friend of Xie Yuanwai and one of the deacons of the restaurant alliance.Sitting opposite him at the moment is Cao Butou who showed his face today.

"Brother Cao has shown his skills in today's matter." The chubby cow member 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: Catcher Cao showed great power to arrest Deng Hu and Yi Piao's subordinates, which was tantamount to solving a big trouble for the restaurant alliance.

One must know that when Deng Hu is out for a day, these people have to worry about it all day, and they have to spend money to subsidize the servants. The cost is very high, and if it is not done well, it will become a bottomless pit.

"Masters want to punish him, that villain will definitely work hard." Catcher Cao also smiled.He took the credit for himself without any shame, and took the money on the table by the way.

Seeing that Butou Cao had collected the money, the cowman nodded and continued, "Well, it's not a good thing that Deng Hu is currently in prison."

Speaking of this, Niu Yuanwai raised his eyelids and glanced at Cao Butou: "I heard that he has many friends in the Jianghu, and there are people behind him. He comes and goes again and again, and there are many nights and dreams."

Catcher Cao knew the elegant meaning after hearing Xuan Ge, and immediately understood the meaning of the other party: "It's easy to say, after three days, the Elder Master will convict this guy, and let him die in prison."

Cao Butou frowned when he said this: "But this way, there will be too much involvement. The prison guards and others have to bear the responsibility, and the county lord's inner skin is not good-looking."

"It doesn't matter!" Niu Yuanwai looked like he was talking about big business at this time, and he stretched out a fat palm to suppress the rest of Cao Butou's words: "I promise you five hundred taels of silver, and you can take it yourself." Share profits with the head of the prison. I only want Deng Hu's life, and I will pay for it, and don't ask about anything else."

"As for the old man, there will be an old man visiting the county office tomorrow. Don't worry, the old man will definitely not put face on you because of this matter."

"Deal!" At this moment, Catcher Cao had a resolute face, but he was secretly elated: Deng Hu's life, he sold it to Zhang Tuhu in the next afternoon, and now he will sell it again to Niu Yuanwai. It is so comfortable to deal with rich people Yes, he is full of energy now.

After the agreement was reached, both the host and the guest picked up the tea bowls at the same time and took a sip with smiles.

After putting down the bowl, Niu Yuanwai took out a silk handkerchief from his sleeve to wipe his mouth, then coughed, and then continued: "There is another one. The dozen or so gangsters are not good people, they are all Deng Hu's buddies. In order to prevent future troubles, this trip will be dismissed together."

Catcher Cao shook his head when he heard the words: "It's difficult. Just now, a nest of thieves was killed, and now Deng Hu is arrested, and there will be more than a dozen people in a fit of anger. I'm afraid the old man will stop the lawsuit. I can't use my strength here." .”

In order to put powder on their faces in ancient times, the imperial court often did some very tricky actions.For example, the emperor played amnesty, released the death row criminals, and then boasted a wave of so-called benevolent monarchs, prosperous times and peace-Li Shimin is a master of it.

This habit has a long history, corresponding to the following states and counties, the incidence rate of a place can even affect the future of county officials.In order to whitewash the peace, even during the busy farming season, they have to put a banner to stop the release of the report, and the government will not accept other cases except the murder case.

This ostrich-like act of suspending lawsuits is essentially a way of deceiving one's ears and stealing one's bell. The government tries to do nothing in filing a case, which is a very funny way of governing.

This is what Cao Butou said just now.Recently, there have been a lot of cases in the county. For the county magistrate, a group of thieves had just been betrayed not long ago, and Deng Hu's murder case happened again. Probably the master is not happy about it.

"Well, it's not the way to force it." Niu Yuanwai agreed with Cao Butou's statement.However, he rolled his eyes immediately, and quickly thought of a countermeasure: "If the sufferer hears that the enemy's family has been brought to justice, they will go to the county government to cry and make noise, the elder will not ignore the passion of the people, will he?"

"Haha." Catcher Cao laughed, with a look of fun on his face: "If you act like this, then the elder loves the people like a son, and will definitely punish the criminals severely."

"Those gangsters do all sorts of evil in their daily lives, and there are quite a few enemies." Niu Yuanwai said here, and his thoughts on petitioning in the 17th century became more and more clear: "I will arrange people to do such things as agitating the poor. You will do it tomorrow." Go look through the file and bring the name, address, and case of the sufferer."

"This is easy to do."

"Well, there is no need for a heavy sentence, as long as these people stay in prison for a year or two, and when the limelight passes, they will die slowly."

"Excellent greetings from outsiders!"

In the dark night, the fate of Deng Hu and his gang was decided in this way.It seems that a certain force did not intervene in the whole process, and everything is the natural evolution of the indigenous people.

In the future, as time goes by, some people's actions in this conflict will probably be known to some interested people, but by then, time will have changed and it will no longer matter.

Three days later, the county government held a court session again.The magistrate of Lai County sentenced Deng Hu to behead of the prison on the spot for homicide when the witnesses and witnesses were all in evidence. Tiger.

On the same day, the county magistrate had no choice but to hold his nose because he could not bear the crying and harassment of many sufferers at the gate of the yamen. Deng Hu and his subordinates were also convicted and rushed into prison.

So far, the tragedy caused by a single business has come to an end - Deng Hu's criminal gang has paid a heavy price, the main personnel have been wiped out in one fell swoop, and the rest of the miscellaneous things have been scattered away, and the most prosperous business in the county has closed down overnight. Shut up and cease to exist.

The demise of Deng's business is no longer important news to Xiong Dao, who manages everything day by day.The strength gap between the two sides is too big, as long as the agents trained by the cross-traveling crowd are of an average level, then there must be no suspense in how they fight.

So when his subordinates came to report Deng Hu's ending to Xiong Dao, Xiong Dao, who was accompanying the guests at the port, probably 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 Miaosu before, and his task was simple to say: to build the Miaosu Oilfield.However, it is not easy to do.Various residential and storage areas, the construction of oil wells, and the most troublesome mountain roads and cableways all cost him a lot of energy.

When the Japanese were in Miaosu, they used a cableway system similar to mine carts to transport crude oil.And after Feng Guanjie investigated the local terrain, he had no choice but to choose the cableway system like the Japanese. It is not cost-effective to repair hardened roads in mountainous areas, because after a few years to get through Nanyang, the seedlings will be abandoned, so the stone path + cableway The system fits instead.

So Feng Guanjie, who used the banner of "I donate oil for the motherland", was put on Miao Suxiu Earth.
