Knight of the Blue Lagoon (The Past of Tao v)

45.

There is no right in history for gangsters to rape or kill, and evil people will be punished by evil people.

The gangster walked straight into the local government office to demand someone. Fa Cao knew his connections in the state capital and did not dare to neglect him. He said:"The person I arrested is indeed detained here. I can't let him go.""

"You are the Dharma Cao, and this place is under your control. How much money do you want this time?"rogue

"It was easy to handle before, but not this time. No matter how much money you give me, it won't work."

"Why doesn't it work? There are things that money can't do."rogue

"It's not that I'm not busy, it's true that I can't help. Our people didn't arrest the person, and the people in charge are not our people. Even a magician like me can't get into the cell."

"You can't even get in, who are they?"rogue

"For example, the people from Dongdu, all our people have been separated and can only do odd jobs, and the trial transcripts are all their people."Fa Cao

"Why does this happen?"

"I have to go to the state capital and ask your brother-in-law to find out what I, a little law clerk, know."Fa Cao looked helpless.

The gangster immediately came to the state capital and saw his brother-in-law:"Brother-in-law, do you think you can release them?"

"Didn't I tell your sister that the imperial court secretly sent people to handle this matter without even giving any notice to the state capital. The Dongfu Army secretly dispatched from the Ministry of War was beyond the control of the local government. The governor's office was directly skipped. Now at one o'clock I can’t even make the effort, how can I help?"The gangster's brother-in-law was very impatient.

"No solution at all?"rogue

"Is there any way to pay for it or else it will be distributed? Is this the only money you are short of?"The gangster's brother-in-law scolded

"I didn't ask them to go to the streets. They were just looking for small profits."The gangster also looks innocent.

"The climate of the court has changed. The Minister of Hubu has gone home to recuperate, and the Minister of War has changed. It’s not like before. You can accept it. Don’t accept the money from those shops in the future."Brother-in-law.

The gangster's sister said:"If you don't let him take it away, what will you eat?"

"Yes, brother-in-law, my expenses are quite high."rogue

"You've collected enough before."Brother-in-law

"Isn’t this such a big family?"rogue

"Who told you to marry so many, one after another?"

"Brother-in-law, aren’t you also……"

"Me, what am I not?"Brother-in-law

"This is not about marrying everyone."The gangster immediately stopped and softened his tone.

"If it doesn't work, just give up."Brother-in-law

"In this current situation, please bear with it for a while and don't ask for trouble. Let's talk about it after this period of time has passed."Brother-in-law

"When?"

The elder sister saw that her younger brother was not interested, so she tried to smooth things over:"Just wait and listen to your brother-in-law.

After the gangster left with a look of helplessness, the brother-in-law pointed at his little wife and said fiercely:"You guys know how to cause trouble for me. Why don't you do anything but become a gangster?""

"Didn't you take care of me? The money comes quickly, and my brother is no less filial to you. Come on, don't be angry, drink tea, drink tea, I asked them to pay to stop him from being so arrogant."The little wife quickly handed over the tea cup.

"The arrogance should not be arrogant to the court. This time the Ministry of War suddenly took action. The court already suspected that the matter was related to the state capital. At this time, they still didn't know what happened."My brother-in-law said angrily.

"Okay, calm down. Calm down first, and then I'll go and try to persuade my brother."elder sister

"Sooner or later you will kill me, and my good days of defeating you will come to an end."Brother-in-law

"I asked him to stop immediately and stop collecting money."My sister comforted me.

At home, Si'er's wife was pleading to the gangster's little wife:"Sister, save Si'er and my brother-in-law Wuzi.""

"Don't worry, as a sister, we will definitely be able to rescue her. Your brother-in-law has already gone to the state capital."

The gangster returned to the house, and they were waiting anxiously. The gangster's little wife was crying and begging. The gangster was made agitated and shouted:"Okay, okay, don't make any noise."

The two women cried even harder, and the gangster had to agree to spend money and guarantee to redeem them.

After the redemption, the gangster cursed:"The fourth son is my brother-in-law, the fifth son is your brother-in-law, and I am also your brother-in-law. Yes, they are both brothers-in-law. Why do you two brothers-in-law make trouble for me, my brother-in-law, and make me, my brother-in-law, scolded?"

"Brother-in-law, aren’t you trying to get some drinking money for your brothers?"Lao Si said with a playful smile.

"It's not enough, your grandma's, drink, drink, just drink, drink a ball, drink it all into the cell."The gangster stepped forward and kicked the kneeling old four over.

"In the past, entering and exiting was just a matter of a word from my brother-in-law."The fourth man looked aggrieved.

The gangster asked again:"How much money did they give?"

"Brother-in-law, for your sake, they gave you a lot, 2 taels per person."The fourth child is not angry.

"Dozens of people only had a few dozen taels of silver, so I spent 1,000 taels to redeem them. His grandma’s"

"Brother, get more from other places in the future and make up for it."Wuzi said

"Make up, make up, make up your balls, damn, don’t even think about accepting any other money from now on."Hooligans.

The fourth and fifth sons were frightened. They knelt on the ground and begged:"Brother, we were wrong. Don't let us go.""

"I didn’t say I’d kick you out, you look like you have no future. Brother-in-law... My brother-in-law said that the situation is unfavorable now, so let's stop now."rogue

"His grandma’s!"The fourth child couldn't help but cursed.

"Who is his grandmother?"rogue

"I'm not talking about brother-in-law, let alone brother-in-law's brother-in-law. I'm talking about brothers-in-law taking 2 taels of silver each, causing my brother-in-law to spend so much money. We can't just let it go."Lao Si

"Those grandsons are hiding behind, using my people, making me pay money, and causing me to lose money. How can such a thing happen? It is unjust."rogue

"Brother-in-law, I went to find them to compensate. The housekeeper ran away and Huang Dahu was still there. If he didn’t give it to us brothers, he would make trouble every day."Lao Si

"You can't take advantage of these bastards, but you can't force them. If you go in again, you'll just stay inside."rogue

"I understand that my brother-in-law doesn’t want to go in again. Don’t worry, I won’t cause any trouble to my brother-in-law this time."

The fourth son took the fifth son, the sixth son, and the seventh son to find the housekeeper of the big family. Huang Dahu excused himself and said that the housekeeper had absconded, and then wanted compensation. Huang Dahu was not a vegetarian, so he refused and even kicked them out. The fourth son didn't do much. They argued, so they called over a dozen people

"Brother-in-law, what should we do?"Five sons

"Fourth brother, kill or set fire, we all listen to you."A younger brother asked again

"You know how to kill people and set fires, but you still want to go in this time."Lao Si

"Then let's go to the house and unveil the tiles? Fourth brother."Another boy asked

"No matter what kind of house you go to or what tiles you put up, you don’t even have to go in. You have no idea at all."Lao Si

"Fourth brother, why are so many people here?"Another boy asked

"My brother-in-law said we can't do it forcefully, that is, we can't break the law. My brother-in-law...my brother-in-law's brother-in-law said that the situation is not good now, and if we go in again, we won't be able to get out."Lao Si

"Fourth brother, whatever you say we will do, we will do it"

"Set up a cooking pot and cook"

"What to cook and cook for them? Fourth brother, what are you doing?"Little brother

"Cook for them, cook for yourself, go...go...go."Si'er.

After the pot and table were set up, they cooked meat, bought wine, and found some monks and Taoists to beat gongs and drums at the door and held a funeral banquet. Dozens of people were eating, drinking, shouting, and still singing at the door. Incense candles were lit.

Huang Dahu complained to the Yamen. Si Cao was depressed about recent events. Hearing that this happened again, he had a headache. He could not afford to offend the gangsters and did not want to offend Huang Dahu, so he brought his people here in person. The fourth child cried and said that one of their guys accidentally fell to death here a few days ago, so it was better to practice as a mage here. Si Cao had to tell Huang Dahu that they did not cause damage or hinder the people. This is a folk custom and there is no such thing. It was illegal, and he had no way to deal with it. Should he wait until their funeral banquet was over, or keep it secret? Of course Huang Dahu was not willing to pay for it. He kept doing it for several days and had no intention of stopping. He ate and drank every day. After that, they started beating gongs and drums and crying and shouting again, making them restless day and night. Huang Dahu couldn't bear it. Huang Dahu wanted to go out that day, but the fourth child didn't stop him. Instead, he asked:"Master Huang, do you want to go out?" Let's go out. Do you have food? If not, let's have some together. I'll treat you."

Huang Dahu snorted and scolded his mother angrily. He found several other big households to discuss how they had paid for it together.

"Everyone came to my house to ask for funeral money."Huang Dahu

"Just give it?"Luo Dahu

"This is several hundred taels, and I can't afford it alone."Huang Dahu already wants to be private.

"Why don't you find someone to deal with these gangsters?"Zhou Dahu

"They are big thugs, I think, forget it, they are in jail because of us, so let's just chip in and spend money to eliminate the trouble."Chen Dahu

"Even if they find someone to suppress us, they will still use other methods to get us. We are in the light and they are in the dark. After all, we are also decent people in the south and will not fight with villains."Zheng Dahu

"How many of them did your housekeeper use?"Lin Dahu

"20 people, a total of 1,000 taels."Huang Dahu

"We have 200 taels each, so we can buy comfortably."Chen Dahu

"200 taels, just 200 taels, should be regarded as funeral money."Zheng Dahu.

After returning, Huang Dahu threw the silver to Lao Si and said with gritted teeth:

"This is 1,000 taels. Get out now and don’t let me see you again."

The fourth child took the money and said,"Okay, you still have money, but there is still a shortfall of 600 taels.""

"There are 20 people. Each of you will be fined 50 taels. The total is 1,000 taels. Why are there still 600 taels?"Huang Dahuqi's face turned blue.

"We are 30 people, you can't deny it. If you don't believe me, call the housekeeper out and ask. We are law-abiding people and we don't want more from you. 1,500 taels for 30 people. We have hired people to provide food and drinks for the funeral these days. No matter what, it must be 100 taels."Lao Si

"You gang of scoundrels, extortionists."Seeing that they were taking advantage of the situation, Huang Dahu cursed the housekeeper in his heart for finding these people.

"As long as you give me money, I can say whatever you want. If you don't give me, we will continue. We will eat and drink as we should, and the funeral will go on. The expenses will all be recorded on your head. This money is not considered for a big family like you. Nothing."Lao Si weighed the money and said proudly.

Huang Dahu had no choice but to say no, so he turned around and left.

"Mr. Huang, hurry up, we won't eat these tomorrow, but we will have delicacies from the mountains and seas."The fourth man smiled with a rogue face.

Huang Dahu scolded the housekeeper who was hiding in the cellar again. The housekeeper was also aggrieved. At first, the master was anxious to find someone, but who knew that the military department would appear and then go there again? Discuss with other big households.

The big households angrily scolded their ancestors for being contaminated by such a scoundrel. They could only consider themselves unlucky. They already deserved 1,000 taels, so they could only scrape together another 600 taels. These big households couldn't spend a lot of money. The rich people were very unhappy when they had to pay these unjust amounts of money even though they had little money.
