Daily life of slaying demons in the government

Chapter 5 Methodical
"Wait a minute, Honglinfang is a brothel, right? You two are regular customers of the brothel, right? Logically speaking, since you put down your cards, the brothel shouldn't make things difficult for you after you spend money to get them back.

Are they crazy and don't want to make money anymore? Or did you offend them, so they deliberately punish you?"

Chen Dong sighed and said, "Yang Qian, you also know the background of Honglinfang. Not to mention that we small fry can't afford to offend them, who in our government can afford to offend them? They have connections from the provincial government.

Even if Wang Shigui and I were drunk, we would never be able to offend Honglinfang."

Wang Shigui didn't wait for Yang Qian to ask more questions, and continued with gritted teeth: "Chen Dong and I have also checked everywhere these days. We have found some things.

It was that bastard Song Yuan who did the bad things."

"When the three of us were promoted to constables, we squeezed out that fake Song Yuan. He didn't dare to cause trouble for the chief constable, so he kept looking for trouble with us. You have always been cautious, but Wang Shigui and I were careless."

Yang Qian frowned. The "Song Yuan" that Wang Shigui and Chen Dong mentioned was indeed not a good person. He was a real bastard who was ignorant and aggressive.

But this bastard has an unusual background. He is the youngest son of Song Qixun, the garrison commander of Sandao City. Song Qixun's roots are not in Sandao City, but in the military office of the prefecture. It is said that he also has deep connections in the prefecture government office.

"The new shopkeeper of Honglinfang is friends with Song Yuan. I saw them drinking several glasses of wine that night."

Hearing this, Yang Qian also understood what was going on. He sighed and asked, "You said earlier that you had an argument with someone over lighting lanterns. Could it be that you had an argument with Song Yuan?"

Without waiting for their answers, just looking at the ugly expressions on their faces made Yang Qian realize that his guess was correct.

Isn't this just giving away your own braid in front of others?
"You guys, really, you should stop drinking from now on. Otherwise, you might end up drinking yourself to death one day."

"Yang Qian, Master Yang! We have lost our minds. It doesn't matter if we quit drinking or anything else, but we must get our badges back first! Otherwise, even if our skins are scratched, it won't matter. If that bastard Song Yuan uses our badges to do something, then Wang Shigui and I will have to go to the border town to move stones!"

Those who lost their waist badges were to be lashed ten times and dismissed. Those who were seriously disqualified were to be punished as coolies and exiled to the frontier.

This law is clearly written on the yamen's order sheet, and everyone must memorize it before entering the palace.

Moreover, according to Yang Qian's understanding of Song Yuan, although this person's mind is not very sophisticated, he is definitely ruthless and courageous. Once he gets the badges of Wang Shigui and Chen Dong, he is very likely to set up a trap to trick them.

After a moment of silence, Yang Qian said, "You came to me because you don't want to report this matter to stop the loss, right?"

"Yeah. We've been tricked like this. We're not willing to accept this. We're going to give it a try anyway!"

"Master Yang, you have the most active brain. If possible, help us! From now on, we will go through fire and water and obey your orders!"

Yang Qian rolled his eyes.

After a while, Yang Qian had an idea in mind and said, "You two should think of a way to get some valuable things together. You should empty your own family assets if necessary, and don't think about saving. It's impossible to get away with this matter quietly. We have to prepare for both scenarios.

You two should go find Master Wang and Captain Xie. One of them controls the inspection and the other is your superior. If they can turn a blind eye, you two will have a chance to save your skin.

As for Honglinfang, let's remember this grudge first. The waist badge cannot be in their hands. They will never admit this debt no matter what happens. So Song Yuan cannot be avoided. I will contact that bastard. I have to talk to him openly to know the details.

Do you think this is okay?"

"Okay." Wang Shigui and Chen Dong gritted their teeth, knowing that what Yang Qian said was indeed the only way they could go at the moment. They didn't care whether it hurt or not for the time being.

"Also, delay the cases you have now as long as possible, and don't let the yamen assign you new cases. Don't drink, don't go out and hang out, and keep your mouth shut. Once this matter gets out, it will be very difficult for you to protect yourselves."

After the three separated, they each started moving.

Wang Shigui and Chen Dong were fine. After all, they had a plan and they had some ideas. They knew the preferences and tempers of Master Wang and Captain Xie. They were just worried about whether the other party would accept their trick. But Yang Qian would be in a lot of trouble.

Song Yuan didn't like Wang Shigui and Chen Dong, and he also didn't like Yang Qian. It was not enough to just ask for a meeting, it took some thought.

After coming out of the yamen, Yang Qian walked towards the commercial street in the west city, thinking about the matters of Wang Shigui and Chen Dong in his mind.

Soon, Yang Qian stopped in front of a tea stall. It was just afternoon, and everyone was busy with their work after lunch. There was no customer at the stall.

"Officer! Please take a seat and have some tea!"

"Well, give me a bowl, and put more sour tablets in it."

"okay!"

Camellia soup is a special tea drink in Sandao City. It tastes sour and sweet and is very thirst-quenching. Yang Qian feels that this is the most delicious food here in the past six months.

He put a few coins on the table, which surprised the tea stall owner. Did the police officer have to pay for tea?
"Received."

"Oh, thank you, sir!"

"I want to ask you something. Tell me what you remember clearly."

"Sir, feel free to ask."

"Which is the best place to go to if you want to buy fur goods on this street?"

"For ordinary furs, the leather shops on the street are all similar. But for high-quality goods, the hunters here will choose Chengkun Leather Shop to deliver them."

"Which kind of goods are considered good in the hunter's hands?"

"Hey, that's a lot. Black-gold pythons, spotted deer, fire-haired foxes, etc. We have a large output of high-quality furs in Sandao City."

Yang Qian put down the tea bowl and asked with a smile, "Is it stable?"

The tea stall owner chuckled and said, "With your status, you can import and export goods safely in this street, right?"

There is something in these words!

What if Yang Qian didn't have this black skin? It might not be safe!

"You are quite interesting to talk about." Yang Qian understood what the tea stall owner meant. To put it bluntly, whether doing business in this commercial street is stable or not depends on whether you have enough confidence and whether you can suppress it.

If you can control it, you can do anything smoothly. And vice versa.

After Yang Qian finished his tea, he stood up and continued walking along the street. Soon he saw a large banner with a sign: Chengkun Leather Shop.

"Hey! Sir, what do you want to buy? We sell furs here. We have all the furs you can find on the market!"

Different from the tea stall owner who was timid when he saw Yang Qian, the shopping guide from the leather shop was neither humble nor arrogant and did not even bow when he saw Yang Qian.

"Do you have any black shark skin? I want the part of the handle in front of the dorsal fin."
