Iron blood Suiming

Chapter 4 Buying People's Hearts

After tidying up, Li Jianguo came to Houya, where there was already a maid waiting at the gate of Houya, and when she saw the majestic Li catcher coming, she did not dare to lift her head, and said in a low voice, "It is Li catcher who is here. ? Captain Li, please come with your slaves, your lord has been waiting for a long time."

Following the maid to the study, County Magistrate Zhang had changed from his official clothes to casual clothes, and his face was no longer pale.Seeing Li Kaiguo, he said, "Captain Li, please sit down."

Li Kaiguo cupped his hands and said, "I've seen my lord, how dare my subordinates dare to be a lord." He said so, but he had already sat down carelessly.

County magistrate Zhang was not angry when he saw that he was so rampant, and waited until the maid served Li Jianguo a cup of tea, waved the maid to leave, and there were only two of them left in the study.

Magistrate Zhang stared at Li Kaiguo without saying a word.Li Jianguo also calmed down, picked up the teacup and sipped the tea.For a while, the study room was so quiet that the sound of a needle falling could be heard.

After a long silence, County Magistrate Zhang's expression changed several times, and he finally spoke first: "Where is Catcher Li's ancestral home?"

Li Jianguo smiled in his heart, it was useless for the county magistrate to play official games in front of him.Who doesn't know that Li Jianguo is backed by a body strengthened with supernatural powers, so how can his psychological advantages be compared with that of Zhang County Magistrate?

"Master Meng asked, the ancestral home of this subordinate is Xuzhou."

County magistrate Zhang nodded, his thoughts changed sharply, but he continued to ask: "When did Catcher Li come to this county?"

Li Jianguo answered every question: "Responding to my lord's words, my subordinates only came to Gaomi County three days ago."

Magistrate Zhang chuckled, and said, "Since I only came to this county three days ago, why did Li Butou sneak into my county government office and eavesdrop on it as soon as he arrived in this county? But someone ordered him?" He knew it was useless to go around in circles with Li Jianguo, so he simply xing spread out to ask.

Li Kaiguo sighed, and said: "Your Excellency probably won't believe it, and this subordinate didn't intend to eavesdrop. It's just that when I first arrived in Gaomi County, my subordinate was unfamiliar with the place, so I accidentally entered the back office and saw something I shouldn't have seen." , I heard what I shouldn't have heard."

He was telling the truth. He had just crossed over here three days ago, and he was panicked. In order to determine where he was, he randomly found a wall and climbed in.Coincidentally, in order to receive distinguished guests, County Magistrate Zhang drove all the servants in the Houya to other places.Li Jianguo went all the way to Houya's study unimpeded, and heard what he shouldn't have heard.The reason why he knew that this year was the sixth year of Emperor Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty was because Magistrate Zhang had heard it when he was talking with someone in secret.

County magistrate Zhang believed Li Kaiguo's words, but said that if he refused to tell the truth, it would be useless to ask further questions.Thousands of thoughts in his mind turned sharply. Li Jianguo in front of him was really a great disaster to him, but there was no way to deal with him.

Li Jianguo picked up the teacup and sniffed it. The tea smell was very pure, but he didn't dare to drink it. Only then would he know if there was a poisonous ghost in it.Magistrate Zhang twirled his long beard and wanted to ask again, but really couldn't think of how to open his mouth.

Li Jianguo put down his teacup, and said flatly: "My lord's concerns are known to my subordinates. Please rest assured, my lord, I will definitely protect my lord's safety after doing this headhunting."

County magistrate Zhang tightened his hand, and half of a beard was pulled off by him. He sighed, how could his city government believe Li Kaiguo's empty promises.But the current situation is completely out of control.

Thinking of this, County Magistrate Zhang knew that he had to take a step forward. He waved his hand and said, "If that's the case, then Catcher Li should just be a errand."

Li Kaiguo stood up, cupped his hands and said, "Farewell." He turned around and left the back office.

<Come on, even Zhang Jin and the others are gone.

He didn't care, he was hungry at this time, he went out of the county office, found a restaurant at random, ate a king's meal, and when he returned to the county office, it was already dark, and the yamen room of the yamen servants was dark, so he didn't go looking for it. Light, find a room at will, fall asleep, and don't worry about someone chopping off his head in the middle of the night.

"Tom, tom, tom" three drums sounded. <The two stood at the door, and when they saw Li Kaiguo, they smiled and said, "Morning Li."

Li Kaiguo wiped the corner of his eye with his finger, and flicked out the gum, and said lightly, "Is everything I ordered done?"

Zhu Wu untied a bundle from behind, handed it to Li Kaiguo respectfully, and said, "Litou ordered, the little one should do it properly. This is the apology silver given to Li Tou by Zhao thief's family. It is 300 yuan in total. Two, hope that Tou Li will spare their family."<Nods his head, indicating that Zhu Wu is right.

Li Jianguo smiled with satisfaction, took out 20 taels of silver from his bag, threw them ten taels each, and said, "You did a good job, let's take it to a drink."They only had eight taels of silver for two months, and now they got ten taels next time, and they were overjoyed immediately.Both of them felt that Li Tou was a generous person, and it would be good to work with Li Tou.

Li Jianguo weighed the rest of the silver, and the silver was really overwhelming, only 280 taels of silver weighed about twenty catties.With his strength, this amount of money is of course nothing.It's just that Zhang Jin and the others still haven't been seen until now, Li Jianguo couldn't help but get angry, and was about to ask questions, when suddenly there were three more drums of "tom, tom, tom".

<accompanied with a smile: "Returning to Li Tou, this is the second time to raise the hall. I think someone has complained. Just now Zhang Jin and the others have gone to the lobby to prepare. They asked me to reply to Li Tou, and everything is according to Li Tou's meaning It's done. Seven of the arrests were only slightly injured, and they were fine. Only two were seriously injured and put in the hospital. Zhao Yiba and the others have all been sent to the death row."

Li Jianguo nodded. He did not deal with those arresters yesterday. Nine out of ten of Zhao Yiba's gang were seriously injured, but there must be no dead people. Although he was full of killing intent , but not an indiscriminate murderer. <Nonuo should be, take him to the lobby.

As soon as he entered the lobby, Zhang Jin was holding a drumstick and was about to beat the drum for the third time.As soon as he saw him coming, he immediately bowed his body and said, "Morning Li."

In the hall, there were eight other police officers with killing sticks in their hands, all of whom had seen him yesterday, and they all smiled and said hello.

Li Jianguo waved his hands and said, "Brothers, from now on we will be our own people, so we don't need to be so cautious, come here, come here, today is the first day that I am the chief arrester, and each person is ten taels of silver, just treat it as a meeting gift. "

All the arresters were overjoyed, and one by one stepped forward to take the money from Li Jianguo, each with a smile on their faces, even the few arresters who had been beaten by Li Jianguo knew that it was an act of buying people's hearts, they couldn't help it from the bottom of their hearts. Happy, everyone is grateful.

Their income as ordinary police officers is not that high, and their monthly bills and grey-seed income are just enough to support their families.This time, I touched more than ten taels of white snow silk silver at once, and some of the hard-working policemen almost shed tears.

At this time, an official in eighth-rank uniform came out from the back of the hall, and said angrily: "Why don't you beat the three-way drum? Zhao Si, I think you don't want to be a head catcher anymore, such a big thing as promotion Can it be delayed too?"

It was Gaomi County Prime Minister Tao Weiqian who said this. He had just returned from Fucheng because he escorted a batch of food and grass to support the bandits in Henan.He came back late, got up early today, and was eager to reply to County Magistrate Zhang, but he didn't know about the major changes that had just happened in Gaomi County.

When he asked, the policemen looked at each other, not knowing how to answer.Finally, a policeman who had been favored by Tao County Prime Minister on weekdays went over and quickly told what happened yesterday.Even Tao Weiqian, who has been in the officialdom for a long time, can't help but change his face when he encounters such a thing that he never thought about.

Immediately, his expression changed. Looking at Li Jianguo, he forced a smile and said, "So it turns out that Captain Li is new here. It is common sense that Captain Li is not familiar with official duties. Hall, my master wants to go to the hall to ask the case." He didn't dare to go to see Li Jianguo, but he came back to the back hall, and he came out again when the third drum sounded.

Zhang Jin looked at Li Kaiguo, and Li Kaiguo wondered, "Isn't it the county magistrate's responsibility to ask questions? Who is this?" He just ignored Tao Xiancheng, so he didn't know that it was Gao Mi who got angry just now The second in command of the county.He thought that only county magistrates could be promoted to interrogate cases, but that was not the case. Generally, trivial cases were handled by county magistrates. Only major cases such as viciousness or decency would be the magistrate's magistrate.

Zhang Jin carefully explained it to Li Jianguo, and Li Jianguo understood.He didn't pay attention to the bullshit county magistrate, even the county magistrate Zhang, he was just pretending, just borrowing them to get the position.
