my wife is a consul

Chapter 429 Old Acquaintances

Seeing Sun Chonggu grinning at him, Lu Ming was speechless for a moment.

This is the commissioner's office of the Longbei District Office.

Ren Zhonglin's management of Longbei District is still the same as that of the province, directly setting up a government office and appointing officials at each level.

Sun Chonggu is already the Yin of Fengxiang Dao, and Fengxiang Dao is the most important road in Longbei, which is adjacent to Shengjing.

Sun Chonggu used to have a lot of positions, but they were all empty positions. Now it is his first real position with real power.

Fengxiang Daoyin has been selected among the officials of the Sun faction. His father, Sun Gan, probably wanted to put his son here a long time ago, but he was always afraid that he would not be able to convince the public.

As for Sun Chonggu in Wanzhou Road, he cooperated closely with the Black Mountain Department, and the comments from the Black Mountain Department were excellent.

And also smashed Sun Pojun's rebellious conspiracy.

Only then did Sun Gan proudly elect his son as Fengxiang Taoist Yin.

For Sun Chonggu, this is also a milestone event, which means that his position as the next generation successor of the Sun faction is becoming more and more stable.

Looking at Lu Ming now, he was very happy, and said with a smile: "Brother, I heard that you are here, so I must come!"

Lu Ming was helpless. He didn't know why this guy felt that he had become his lucky star. Although he hadn't harmed him, he hadn't treated him well either. Those excellent comments were just to fool Sun Gan. Divided Sun Pojun.

Sun Gan is a terrible old man, but he also has his own weaknesses. He likes to listen to good things about his son. He may know deep down in his heart that his son is not a good talent to succeed him, but he still holds out hope , Therefore, the praise from the outside world, sometimes he clearly knows it is fake, and he will listen to it seriously.

If Sun Chonggu didn't change much, he really took over, and when Sun Gan passed away, I'm afraid that the Sun faction would soon fall apart and cease to exist.

Therefore, Ren Zhonglin would be happy to see Sun Chonggu promoted step by step.

Lu Ming thought wildly, and forced a smile at Sun Chonggu.

Sun Chonggu was about to continue talking with joy, when a long "cough" sound of phlegm came from beside him.

The one who made the strange noise was a thin old man.

It is the owner of this office, Commissioner Li Tan.

The little old man who seems to have a weird personality has been working here for more than ten years.

In a sense, the commissioner of the Longbei District Office in Shengjing is more important than the positions of the governors of Longbei. Li Tan is the absolute confidant of Governor Ren Zhonglin.

Li Tan has always had a good reputation and is upright, but he is very old-fashioned and has a eccentric personality.

He seemed a little at a loss for the new situation in Shengjing. For example, dealing with the conflict between the Longbei patrol and the Anshan construction workers almost caused a bigger dispute. In the end, it was the Western mediation that ended peacefully.

He made a strange noise, and Sun Chonggu just smiled, "Uncle Li, okay, okay, I won't say anything, but my brother is really a legal expert. He is from Montenegro, and he has something good to say. If he opens his mouth and doesn't talk about the law, that's okay." imprisoned?"

Lu Ming was helpless, if he didn't know that this guy was a fool, he would have offended himself, and even the entire Montenegro family.

Looking at Li Tan, he asked, "Commissioner Li, do you have any legal questions? There is a good law firm in the concession area."

Li Tan waved his hand, "Brother, it's not a legal issue. Chonggu is often confused and makes mistakes, but it's good that you came! Recently, there has been a lot of thieves in Longbei District. Our patrol room suspects Anshan's thieves. Anshan The bandits are famous, but no matter how they are defended, they can't be caught. Now people are panicking, and there are also cases of theft from wealthy families! The more troubles are getting worse, what do people think of Long The law and order in the North District?"

Lu Ming nodded and listened silently.

Li Tan sighed, picked up the teacup and took a sip of the tea, then stared at Lu Ming suddenly, "Brother, do you think there will be their mole in our patrol room?"

"It's possible." Lu Ming pondered, "However, some snitches are really powerful, and it's not like the patrols can find them."

Sun Chonggu said from the side: "Why is it not a legal issue? Uncle Li, if you want Chonggu to say that it was originally made by Anshan people, there is no need to catch thieves and get dirty. Let's arrest a group of Anshan construction workers. How to sentence, how to get the evidence, isn’t it just a legal issue? Can my brother Zhang do anything about it? Punish a few Anshan people as a warning to everyone else, aren’t they honest?”

Li Tan pondered, nodded: "I can't say it's not a solution!"

Satisfied, Sun Chonggu waved his folding fan.

Lu Ming smiled and said, "How about this, there are a few experienced detectives in the patrol room in the Montenegro Concession, let them come over and take a look first, and form a special case?"

Li Tan was silent.

Lu Ming knew that Sun Chonggu's idea was quite in line with Li Tan's mind. It seems that the recent conflicts between the Anshan construction workers and the Longbei patrols have caused the Longbei patrols to suffer, and Li Tan felt deeply It became a fire, because they wanted to take the opportunity to make trouble for the Anshan people.

It's really not a robbery problem, but a legal problem. Let's see how to catch the Anshan people and make an iron case, so that they can't reverse the case even if they appeal to the Central District Court.

It seems that sometimes the reputation of an official is completely different from a distance and a close view.

For example, if a few Anshan people were arrested randomly to complete the iron case, in the eyes of the people in Longbei District, Li Tan naturally did a great job.

After all, from the perspective of Longbei people, they despise Anshan people themselves, and are more willing to believe that the recent thieves are caused by inferior Anshan people.

Anshan is the poorest province among the four provinces in the Northern Territory, and the remote areas are even more impoverished. It's like a family of four with only one pair of pants.

In Shengjing, Anshan labor is the cheapest. People in the other three provinces will more or less look at Anshan people with colored glasses.

If something is lost in a store, as long as there is an Anshan person, it must be the first object of suspicion.

But Lu Ming actually hated the locals the most, especially those who discriminated against the poor areas.

"If you are willing to form a special case team, we are willing to provide all assistance. Otherwise, I am afraid I will be helpless. I am sorry, Commissioner Li!" Lu Ming winked at Sun Chonggu.

Sun Chonggu just smiled: "Uncle Li, let's set up a special investigation team? It's good to catch the thief with solid evidence!" Be your own true friends.

Li Tan nodded: "Okay, then listen to you, young people, new ideas, task force, okay, let's set up a task force."

"Brother Zhang, how many soldiers do you have?" Seeing that the matter was over, Sun Chonggu immediately asked excitedly.

Lu Ming glanced at Li Tan, and said to Sun Chonggu: "The armed military and police brigade is almost a battalion. In addition, I have an engineering brigade in my hand. However, the engineering soldiers are actually workers under militarized management. To mobilize combat forces, there are only more than a thousand people, about two battalions, and together, there are about three battalions." Then asked: "What are you doing?"

Sun Chonggu had already raised his thumb, and said with a smile: "Uncle Li, look, what am I talking about? My brother can't lie to me, can he? Are you going to fight with me?"

Li Tan's face was a little embarrassed, he picked up the teacup to drink water, and didn't bother to talk to the second generation ancestor.

Sun Chonggu smiled and said to Lu Ming: "Brother, it's nothing else, I'm just thinking about it. If there is a war with the Haixi people in Shengjing, let's see how many soldiers we have."

Lu Ming had no choice but to call himself more and more affectionate.

However, even Li Tan didn't think there was anything wrong with him calling himself "Brother".

After all, as the head of the secret police, I have a notorious reputation. At most, others will think that I am young, and they will not think that I am really in my early twenties.

Compared with himself, Sun Chonggu is even more of a child, and he should call himself "brother".

"Brother, you said that if we set up a trick, how about getting a vote for the Jintan of Haixi people?" Sun Chonggu said enthusiastically.

As a Dao Yin, the guard brigade of the Dao is also under his command. For the first time, he really has a lot of power, and many things are very child's play.

Moreover, it is obvious that because of his experience in Wanzhou Road, he and Lu Ming led troops to suppress the bandits. The bandits were all supported by the Haixi people, which was almost equivalent to fighting the Haixi people. This made the Haixi people an enemy in his eyes. .

Lu Ming smiled: "It can be studied."

Li Tan didn't bother to pay attention to the two of them, drinking tea with some helplessness in his eyes.
