"This man is really all-round and versatile. He does both black and white business?" He Ping said with a hint of sarcasm, "He Zhongheng and this Head Constable Liu is like a man in heaven and earth. He Zhongheng will always be out of place in the county government. No one will like him, and even his good brothers will betray him."
"Yeah."
Qi Baiyi also nodded.
"But then again, Master, if you want to gain a foothold in Longhe County, why don't you join forces with this person? This Head Constable Liu is not very capable. He is just good at running around and managing personnel... As long as we use some tricks, we can make this person obey our orders and control Longhe County Three Gangs and Nine Societies, the black and white forces."
"You are wrong."
He Ping shook his head.
"Longhe County looks chaotic on the surface, but in fact it has its own set of order. This order is hidden under the surface and is a kind of survival jointly maintained by all forces. Principle. In this circle, the man named Liu is just a product of the black and white order of Longhe County. Without him, there would be other Capt. Sun and Capt. Li.
These Three Gangs and Nine Societies are just a link in this order. They themselves have formed a complex network of relationships with the local water and land docks, merchant guilds, nobles, and other forces. This large network is intricate and complex. Even if you barely control a person named Liu, you can't get rid of the constraints of these relationships. As long as you are still on the territory of this group of people, you must act according to their rules!"
Of course, unless you do it yourself, kill all the people who are in the way, and get rid of all the people who hinder you.
However, it was refreshing to do this, but the problem was that making such a big noise was contrary to his idea of lurking in Longhe County and quietly expanding his power.
Furthermore, if the fuss is too big, it may also attract Evil-Slaying Bureau and experts from the imperial court. This is not outside the customs, but inside the customs. He Ping has a very clear mind and does not intend to have a head-on conflict with the imperial court.
"The thing that He Zhongheng is more useful than the one named Liu is that he can turn into a sharp knife and cut through these messy, intricate and intricate tangles with one knife. I want to keep this person because I hope he can do this for me!"
He Ping smiled coldly.
"Of course, whether this sharp knife can be used depends on his subsequent performance."
"Brother."
Luo Zheng changed into casual clothes and appeared on "Shi Xian Pavilion". He made an appointment with He Zhongheng and entered a private room. After entering, he closed the door, leaving only a thin crack.
"You've been too busy these days. I've invited you several times, but I haven't found a suitable opportunity."
"Second brother, what's the matter with you?"
He Zhongheng is not on duty today. He is wearing a green shirt, sitting on a chair in the elegant room, holding a wine glass in his hand.
Seeing Luo Zheng go to the private room on the second floor, he couldn't help but squint his eyes slightly and frown.
"You have only just been promoted. If you are no longer your deputy supervisor under Head Constable Liu, why did you change your outfit..."
Hearing his sworn brother's sarcastic tone, Luo Zheng sighed slightly.
"Brother, I know you look down on me, but the heroes are dead, and we brothers should also think about ourselves."
"So you still remember that we have a third brother named Qin Yinghao?"
He Zhongheng glanced at him coldly, and a sneer appeared on his thin lips.
"Then do you still remember how he died..."
"Brother!"
Luo Zheng's face turned pale for a moment, and he sighed again.
"Brother, don't be angry with me anymore. I can't do this job in the yamen anymore. Then Head Constable Liu promoted me to the position of deputy squad leader just to vent my anger on you, brother. I work under them and I am bullied by them every day."
He folded the county police officer's uniform into a bag and placed it on the wine table. He took out a bag of silver from his pocket and placed it on the table.
"There is also a letter here, please forward it to the county government. From today on, I, Luo Zheng, will return to the countryside and live a stable life of farming."
Luo Zheng was about to hand over the letter. The moment he took it, He Zhongheng's eyes sharpened, he raised his head and said sternly, "My surname is Luo, let me ask you, the content in this letter is really a resignation, and not a frame-up of me and the big thief Sun Long joining forces to rob the county government treasury."
"This..."
Luo Zheng turned pale when he heard this, and was stunned for a moment before shaking his head desperately.
"Brother, what do you mean? How could I do such a thing?"
"If you want others to know, you have to do it yourself... Second brother, second brother, I treat you like a brother in vain, but you treat me like an elder brother like this!"
He Zhongheng does not have the ability to predict the future. He just knew in advance that Luo Zheng colluded with Head Constable Liu to frame him.
Last night, when he was still at home and preparing to go to bed, an arrow broke through the window and hit a beam of wood.
He took off the arrow and found that there was a note tied to it. The note said that Head Constable Liu wanted to frame him, and ordered his sworn brother Luo Zheng to come to him with a letter and silver. The note also informed him of their conspiracy.
Initially, He Zhongheng was doubtful about this matter and did not believe it. It was not until Luo Zheng appeared with the silver coins and the letter that he completely believed the message written on the note, and his heart was filled with grief and indignation.
In an instant, He Zhongheng slapped his palm on the jujube wood table, and there was a muffled "bang" sound. The table did not move at all. The tea cups and bowls on the table almost "bounced" in unison, and at the same time, a green steel knife placed on the table also "bounced".
"Whoosh!"
The simple sword was unsheathed, He Zhongheng raised the sword and pointed to the door.
"Head Constable Liu, you've been hiding outside watching the show for a long time, you won't forget how to act next!"
"Hahahahaha!"
A burst of laughter came over, and the door of the private room was banged open with a bang, and several figures walked in. The leader had a Sha Qi in his step.
"Well, you He Zhongheng, colluded with the gangsters, and tried to rob the county government warehouse. Now Celestial Person has obtained all the dirty things. Why don't you just go ahead and capture him!"
Head Constable Liu walked in with several of his men. He had hawk-like eyes, a thin face, and a tall figure. He was about forty years old. He was wearing the uniform of a police officer. He pressed the handle of the knife at his waist with one hand and pointed at He Zhongheng with the other hand.
"He Zhongheng, I have laid a dragnet here, I advise you not to make a mistake."
"What is self-error?"
He Zhongheng smiled coldly and reached out to pick up the letter in his hand.
"Head Constable Liu, are you trying to say that this piece of paper is evidence?"
"That's right."
Head Constable Liu looked up to the sky and laughed.
"This silver coin is the stolen money given to you by the big thief Sun Long. As for that letter, it is undoubtedly the biggest evidence of crime. It contains the evidence of collusion between you and Sun Long. Now that Celestial Person has obtained all the dirty money, do you still want to deny it?"
"Joke!"
He Zhongheng Hearing this, he snorted coldly, took out the letter paper from the envelope, and stretched out his hand to shake it.
"This blank letter is evidence of the crime. Liu, are you having a brain problem?"
He raised his hand, and everyone present could see clearly that there was nothing on the letter. It was empty, not even a single big character.
What?
Head Constable Liu's expression changed, and he looked at Luo Zheng beside him.
"Luo Zheng, what's going on?"
Almost immediately, Head Constable Liu suspected that there was something wrong with Luo Zheng. The other party was He Zhongheng's adopted brother. There was no guarantee that he would not collude with him. This letter was clearly passed on to He Zhongheng by him. Why did such a mistake happen?
"I-I don't know either?"
Luo Zheng's face was pale and he was sweating profusely. He didn't know when the letter with He Zhongheng's "evidence of guilt" turned into a blank piece of paper.
"By the way, there is also this silver coin."
He Zhongheng picked up a silver ingot.
"This is the silver I just got from the pawn shop, pawning the valuables at home. This silver has markings on it." He engraved the writing on the bottom of the silver ingot, which read a line of writing, "Fengji Exchange Pattern Silver Five Liang".
"This is newly minted silver from a foreign trading company. The origin can be verified. If you don't believe it, just go to their pawn shop with me and confront them face to face."
He smiled coldly, clapped the hand holding the silver hard, and with his strong palm force, the silver ingot was firmly embedded on the table.
He Zhongheng suddenly showed his hand and knocked the silver ingot onto the table with one palm. When he started his hand, the wind in his palm was surging, and the strong palm force turned into a soft force. This move was so skillful that the eyes of several policemen who were traveling with him were stared straight.
"Liu, you really think you can defeat me with your little calculations. If you don't want to continue to be embarrassed, just take your men and get out!"
Damn it!
Head Constable Liu had veins popping on his forehead. He never expected that He Zhongheng would see through his plan.
(Damn it... the news has leaked! No, it doesn't matter, everyone present is my people anyway, and people from the government office have been sent to surround them. No matter what the evidence is, arrest this He Zhongheng and take him to the county government office. Isn't it a matter of one sentence whether he is black or white?)
Liu suddenly had a vicious idea in his mind. However, he took another look at He Zhongheng and found that the other party was calm and composed, and did not seem to be afraid of the large group of people he had brought.
--This is strange. Could it be that this person has other sources of support?
At this moment, an anxious voice came from outside the elegant room.
"Head Constable Liu, no, something big has happened!"
A figure hurried up to the second floor, running out of breath. "Something happened, something really big happened... Head Constable Liu, the county magistrate was kidnapped!"
