Chapter 138 Dongmen City Police Station ([-])

Zhou Shidi has worked in Qiwei Escort for 11 years.Like his senior brother, he came from Sun Kecheng's hometown, knew a little bit of boxing stick, and didn't want to torture himself in the farmland until hemiplegia, so he entrusted someone to join Qiwei Escort.

The life of a bodyguard is much better than that of a farmer, but Zhou Shizhai, as a bodyguard, makes it difficult for Sun Kecheng to rest assured-he lacks the calm temperament that a bodyguard should have, or in other words, he is not smooth enough in dealing with people in the world.

Escort is an existence that wanders between black and white circles. Escort masters must be upright and flexible.Although Zhou Shidi knew that the Escort Bureau "eat like friends and dress like friends", he sneered at "friends", and couldn't bear the shamelessness of "friends".If there is a disagreement, they will fight.As a result, Sun Kecheng, who was on the escort road, never dared to send him again.So sitting in the store and guarding the house became his specialty.But there are also rules for doing this job: when you encounter thieves, you are only allowed to see off customers, and you are not allowed to capture them alive. When the shop is harassed, you can only order it to the end.But Zhou Shidi broke this rule many times, and made a lot of grievances in the arena.In the end, he had to be transferred to the mule and horse yard as a steward, so as not to get into trouble.

After several years of dreary days, the shopkeeper Sun, who was very angry that day, called him into the cabinet room, saying that the Australian maritime merchant who came last time wanted to buy a house and manor in Qiongzhou, and he needed a bodyguard to start.

The so-called beginning is that out of safety considerations, the big households always prepare a team of servants to protect the courtyard. The general servants are of ordinary people's origin, they can't fight, and they don't know much about the ways of the world.This requires the hiring of a bodyguard to start with.Responsible for martial arts training for the servants, arranging night duty patrols and other security tasks.In the mansion, it is equivalent to the status of guest minister.

The responsibility at the beginning is heavy, but the pay is good, and you don't need to eat and sleep in the open. It is considered a good job in the escort agency, but you must be tactful and flexible.Zhou Shizhai was the leader, but he was replaced because he was too happy to catch thieves and was not good at getting along with the master.This time he was asked to be the leader again, so I couldn't help but wonder: Why does the sun come out from the west?

Strange as it is, it's better to do what you do than work with animals in a mule yard.And recently, the Escort has won a lot of business from Australian maritime merchants, and has become their big benefactor. The originally tight life has eased up, and the pensions for the dead and injured brothers have also been settled. No one can take over the work. The job is indispensable.

Now I packed up my luggage and brought two new apprentices with me—both are the nephews of the bodyguard who died in the service of the bodyguard. According to the rules of the bodyguard, if the bodyguard died in the line of duty, the nephews who are willing to eat this bowl of food must take in one or two as usual .Those who are too poor in martial arts qualifications to be bodyguards are arranged to work as handymen or support on the counter.These two children were too young, only sixteen or seventeen years old, and they were too young to be bodyguards, so Zhou Shidi took them to continue teaching.Sun Kecheng's abacus is to save the Escort some food expenses-now there are quite a few such children in the Escort.

Hiring bodyguards was Ran Yao's idea.Although they have the advanced concepts and equipment brought from the 21st century, when it comes to understanding the Jianghu society in this time and space, they know almost nothing.Escorts happened to be the most suitable candidates - their professional ethics were more trustworthy than those who were the third-class government servants of the underworld.

Although Dugu proposes to be called the director, the actual business is in the hands of Mu Min.At her request, a "Security Survey" was carried out with the cooperation of the Dongmen City Industrial and Commercial Office, and some understanding of the surrounding environment, daily flow of people, shops and street vendors of the entire Dongmen City was obtained.

After investigation and visits, it is generally known that pickpocketing is the most common security case in Dongmen City, followed by theft, followed by fraud and fighting. Robbery and murder are almost non-existent. It is clear that criminals do not dare to openly commit crimes under the noses of travelers.

But what about that mass brawl to death?Mu Min personally took the local interpreter and questioned many people. Many people hesitated, and their eyes flickered, indicating that there was something strange about this matter.Although Dugu proposes to be highly vigilant and thinks that this is a fight between underworld gangs for profit, but Mu Min doesn't see it that way.

The reason was naturally not that Mu Min believed that there were no gangsters in the Ming Dynasty, but the autopsy report made by the health department on the day of the incident.Indications were that the seven dead men were heavy manual laborers who had been working on the fields shortly before their deaths.In addition, according to her consistent experience, although gangster fights will kill people from time to time, the basic premise is that people can bleed to death. Machetes are often used, which look bloody and bloody, but the death rate is relatively low. Relying on a brute force to stab them randomly, it looks a bit like a large-scale fighting with weapons in the countryside.

Sure enough, within a few days, someone came to collect the body.Only then did I know that the whole story was that the villagers of Village A came to the welfare agency to buy things, and at noon they drank tea and ate dry food at the tea stand set up by the villagers of Village B. They clashed over trivial matters. Unfortunately, some of the nearby stalls were villagers or relatives of Village B. Friends put it so well, the villagers of Village A naturally suffered a big loss and were beaten and fled in embarrassment.On the one hand, it was for retaliation, and on the other hand, it was to prevent retaliation. Both sides prepared weapons, and as a result, it turned out like this when they fought.

"Being so ruthless for such a trivial matter? Too ignorant and backward!" Dongmen Chuiyu was surprised.

"We have nothing to do with the fight, and we can't do it either," Mu Min said.This is not news to her, the habit of fighting with weapons in rural areas still exists in many places in China even in the 21st century.There are often intricate economic, geographical, cultural, and resource disputes intertwined behind it. Years of accumulated grievances make any trivial matter lead to large-scale fighting—not to mention that it is now slack, and troubles are more likely to arise.

"What we want to ensure is that no one is allowed to make trouble here in Dongmen City. So this time the matter can't just end like this."

"Everyone is dead, what else can we do?"

"If a person dies, isn't the body still there? Are the people from the two villages here to collect the body?"

"We're all resting in the inn. Do you want to bring me to see you?"

"No, send someone to tell them that a corpse pays a fine of five taels of silver, and the coffin is considered a gift from us, and the cost price is one tael. The payment must be made within seven days, and it will be thrown into the sea if the deadline is exceeded."

"Ah?" Both Dongmen and Dugu's eyes widened, "Well, didn't the executive committee ask us to treat the aborigines well?"

"There is a bottom line for being kind. Let the people around you see the consequences of using a knife on our land." Mu Min was murderous.

Dugu proposed marriage and slapped the table excitedly: "It should have been like this a long time ago! I told the executive committee that strict punishment and strict laws can ensure safety. According to me, if you catch a thief or something in the future, you will cut off his hand! Let's see if anyone dares to steal from me in the future! Be kind to me, it's all on top of us!"

"Just cut off your hands." Mu Min said to Ran Yao, "Team Leader Ran, what legal standards do we follow to enforce the law?"

"Just follow the Public Security Management Punishment Regulations. This is ready-made." Ran Yao had a special discussion with the executive committee on these issues. This actually involves legislative issues. Travelers don't have the time to do this right now, so naturally We had to apply the existing regulations first.

When Ma Peng came back from work that day, he saw a new notice posted on the bulletin board at the gate of the camp, and many workers gathered around to read it.Zhang Xingjiao read the notice while shaking his head: "Recruitment of policemen... 10 people...under the age of 18-25...height over 160 centimeters, in good health...food, salary, 2.5 work points per day, half a kilogram of rice , the bonus is calculated separately..."

Speaking of this, there was an uproar.Some workers said: "2.5 work points. I only got 1.5 work points on the busiest day, and the team leader only got 2 work points. Now I get 2.5 work points!"

"Didn't you hear that, only employees can sign up. Originally, the employees got more than us!"

"Why? They all do the same job, so why can he get more money?"

"You can change jobs if you don't want to."

"You have to work for 12 months, or you have to perform exceptionally well."

Ma Peng didn't really want to go at first, because he heard that this job was similar to a job in the county government office, arresting and arresting robbers in the market.But now my mother lives with him. Although the short-haired master pays him an extra 1.5 work points per day according to the standard of "having a support obligation", the mother does not have free meals, so life is a bit tight.Now it is rumored in the camp that the wages of the employees will be raised, and he regrets why he listened to Fu Buer's words and did not become an employee.Now such an opportunity has to be missed in vain.

But the next day he went to the commune office to apply.Although he is not an employee, Ran Yao saw that his physique is not bad—it is really not easy to find a man over 160 cm—so he nodded, and after asking some questions, he was called to a small room at the back Li took off his clothes, measured with a ruler, and stood on the trembling earth scale again.Finally, he was approved to join the Aboriginal police force.

The first is to learn fighting skills for ten days, including holding other people's joints in the fastest way, fighting with a special-looking short wooden stick, and then teaching how to spot suspicious people, patrol and guard, interrogate pedestrians, track and hunt, and use ropes Bundled technology.A short-haired man named Li Jun taught them how to use shields and short wooden clubs to fight against large groups of mobs.They also let them engage in actual combat with the laborers.These things are very complicated, and Ma Peng is illiterate, so it is even more difficult to learn. Fortunately, the traversers often use demonstration teaching methods, teaching them hand in hand, and have made many models and pictures to demonstrate.
