Daily life of slaying demons in the government

Chapter 88 A fish slipped through the net
Fumanlou.

The government had set up a trap here before, successfully capturing Song Qixun alive. It also made Fu Man Lou, an old restaurant that was already famous in Sandao City, even more prosperous.

The table in the middle of the lobby was empty. The tableware was fully set, with many large and small plates and food cups, but there was no food on the plates and food cups, but wooden signs standing up.

"See? The big table in the middle is called the 'Extermination of Traitors' Banquet', and the dishes on the table are the same ones that were served when the government captured Song Qixun alive that day!
Do you want to try it? Want to satisfy your desire to kill evil and punish traitors?
Not expensive! Fu Man Lou is a three-generation old shop with good faith management! It relies on reputation and taste, and never overcharges customers."

As soon as you enter the lobby of Fu Man Lou, the waiters here will enthusiastically recommend dishes to you. The "anti-traitor table" in the middle of the lobby undoubtedly attracted a lot of attention. It must be said that the shopkeeper of Fu Man Lou knows how to do business. His brain works very fast!

Yang Qian entered the restaurant. A young man dressed in black martial robe came over to him immediately after seeing him and led him to a private room on the third floor.

"Oh, Master Yang, you are here! I hope you won't blame me for not welcoming you from afar! I will drink three cups of wine as punishment later!"

There were two people in the side room, Li Mazi Li Deng and Uncle Yu Zhou Quan.

This was not the first time they met, but Zhou Quan seemed much more polite than before. You could even see that Zhou Quan's waist was slightly bent when he spoke.

This is because although Yang Qian is still a captain of police, his reputation is different.

The Fumanlou Anti-Traitor Table is just downstairs. Who doesn't know about how Yang Qian beheaded Lin Kuizhong with a sword and captured Song Qixun alive with a single sword?
The strength that Yang Qian has alone is enough to make Zhou Quan treat him differently.

What's more, the income from private candy depends on Yang Qian's mood.

"Haha, Uncle Yu, you're too polite." Yang Qian smiled and didn't respond to the other party's politeness. He didn't come here to chat today, but came here for the other party. There is more to say later.

The three of them sat down and had three rounds of drinks.

"Uncle Yu has been in Masheng Lane for many years. I heard that his seniority is higher than Dong Hu. I wonder if it is true?" Yang Qian put down his chopsticks and started the formal topic of today's dinner with a smile on his face.

Today, Li Mazi is treating guests on behalf of Yang Qian, and the guest is Zhou Quan.

So although Zhou Quan was puzzled, he also handled it carefully. When Yang Qian asked about his seniority in Masheng Lane, he smiled and replied, "Sorry to make you laugh, Master Yang. Seniority in Masheng Lane is only useful for verbal gatherings, and it doesn't mean much in other places. The boss I followed was the senior of Master Dong's family, so I am indeed a generation older than Master Dong."

“Seniority may seem useless when you talk about it, but when it’s really needed, it’s something that others can’t even envy.

Uncle Yu has such a high seniority and is well-known in Masheng Lane. Now Li Deng is doing the private candy business under your tutelage. It is a good time to make money. Why do I hear that Uncle Yu is thinking of quitting business?"

Zhou Quan smiled bitterly and said, "I am old, how can I still fight? Besides, my family has grandchildren running around. It is rare for me to live to this age in this line of work, and I also want to have a luxurious old age. But it depends on Li Deng. If he can help me block the wind, then I can step down, otherwise I dare not step down!"

Yang Qian picked up the wine pot, filled Zhou Quan's glass with wine, and said with a smile: "Why do you have to retreat? I believe that Uncle Yu's methods and abilities in Masheng Lane are so good that the number of people who dare to cause trouble to you can be counted on one hand.

Instead of being on guard for a thousand days, it is better to take the initiative. Wouldn't it be better to clear away all the troubles?"

As soon as Yang Qian said this, Zhou Quan's smile froze. He knew that Yang Qian invited him to dinner today because he had something to ask him, but now he felt something was not right.
First he asked about his seniority with Dong Hu, and then he said, "No need to get out, just eliminate the threat." These were not friendly preparations, and seemed to be vaguely aimed at... Mr. Dong?!
Zhou Quan has seen all kinds of things in the world, but he still feels a little uneasy.

"Master Yang, you are joking. The new people are replaced by the old ones in Masheng Lane too quickly. I am an old man, Zhou Quan, so how can I sweep more people!" "Uncle Yu can't sweep. Isn't Li Deng your disciple? Wouldn't it be better to let him help you?"

"Master Yang, are you here today to help Li Deng take the throne?" Zhou Quan didn't want to follow Yang Qian's pace of speech. He felt uneasy, so he wanted to get straight to the point.

Yang Qian shook his head and said, "Yes, but no. Li Deng is running a private candy business, and it's inconvenient if he doesn't have his own stall. Uncle Yu, your position is indeed the most suitable step for him now. But Uncle Yu, it's not appropriate for you to move to another position. How about changing direction and advancing instead of retreating?"

"Please let Master Yang tell you clearly." Zhou Quan would have wanted to leave if he could just get up and leave, but unfortunately, he really didn't dare to give Yang Qian the face he wanted. He could only sit and listen.

"Uncle Yu should know about the big case in Sandao City before, right?"

"Guarding the Song family?"

"That's right. Song Qixun colluded with bandits and evildoers and did all kinds of bad things. But he was not the only one who did the evil. There were many people who were also worthy of death who colluded with him. There were people in the government office, merchants in the city, and even more people in the garrison were implicated.

And Masheng Lane can’t escape either.”

"Ah? Master Yang, you are not talking about Master Dong, are you?!" Zhou Quan twisted his body, he really couldn't sit still.

"A key witness in the case of the Song family garrison was Liu Jun, a bandit from Mount Paektu. Liu Jun confessed that he was also involved in Masheng Lane, which was also engaged in the business of kidnapping people and selling them to evil spirits. Among them, Dong Hu was clearly mentioned. The person who handled the case was Liao Dayong, a "bald monkey" under Dong Hu.

Liao Dayong got into a fight with someone on the street two days ago and was taken back to the government office. He is now in the police dungeon and has confessed everything.

So Dong Hu couldn't run away either.

With Uncle Yu's seniority, qualifications, and the strength he has, instead of retiring and fleeing to another place, it would be better for him to move forward and take the position that Dong Hu will inevitably vacate.

In this way, Uncle Yu can live a peaceful old age, and Li Deng can become a successful person. The private sugar business can also make up for a major hidden danger.

What do you think, Uncle Yu?

What do you think? Zhou Quan's forehead was already covered in cold sweat, but his eyes were shining with excitement.

"Master Yang, is this handled by you personally or by someone else?" Zhou Quan had a lot of thoughts in his mind. But he didn't dare to think too much and asked him the most important thing first.

Yang Qian nodded and said, "I investigated this case. Although it was not included in the case of the Song family garrison, it still needs to be concluded. Besides, I heard that Dong Hu is also good at knife skills, and I also want to meet him."

Zhou Quan's expression became even more radiant when he heard this.

"Master Yang, can you allow me to think about this?"

"Of course, I'll give you one day."
