Detective in the Red Chamber

Zhao Wuwei's ear was easy to use, and he replied casually inside, "Since you have the guts to recommend yourself, I'm afraid this great opportunity will not pass!"

Self-recommendation?

Big chance? !

Hong Jiu chewed these few words over and over again, and suddenly a bright light came to his mind!

Could it be that……

Master Sun reminded himself to read the notice in the hall, but in fact he wanted to recommend himself to be the beggar security chief? !

Chapter 412

After all, Hong Jiu still failed to meet Sun Shaozong.

Although he wanted to set an example, a mere beggar leader is obviously not qualified for Sun Shaozong to teach him face-to-face - at least Sun Shaozong will not waste too much time on him until he proves his ability and value.

Therefore, Hong Jiu waited for half an hour in the criminal justice department, and only got a statement from Sun Shaozong, which was relayed by others, that Shanxi Lane must be changed within one month.

It was this simple sentence that changed Hong Jiu's life trajectory from then on to earth-shaking changes!

He was still a beggar when he walked into the gate of the government office, but the moment he walked out of the gate, he was... well, he seemed to be a beggar, but the title of security chief was added to the back.

The title of "beggar security chief" may not sound very glorious, but when it comes to real power, it is much stronger than the average security chief!

From the date of taking office, all beggars who have not reported to the chief security officer and have joined together as mutual guarantees are not allowed to beg in Shanxi Lane, Douer Hutong, and Lianpengwu.

If there are beggars who knowingly commit crimes, the security chief can choose to drive them away by himself, or if necessary, ask the patrol officer to come forward to assist in driving them away.

With this alone, Hong Jiu became the undisputed ruler of the hundreds of beggars in Shanxi Lane!And he is a ruler who has the endorsement of an official violent agency!

Not to mention, he still has the right to 'gossip'. As long as he finds any unstable factors in the jurisdiction, he can report to the local government at any time.

Of course, after becoming the beggar security chief, Hong Jiu shoulders a heavy burden. Not only must all beggars in the jurisdiction be restrained from committing crimes, but he is also obliged to assist the government in searching for key criminals.

In short, when Hong Jiu walked out of the gate of the government office with the appointment document in hand, Hong Jiu really seemed like a lifetime away—if the three evil beggars hadn't surrounded him eagerly, he might have suspected that he was dreaming!

"Hongjiu!"

One of the beggars scolded in a rough voice, "What are you dawdling in there, kid? Why did it take a long time to come out!"

Another short and sturdy beggar simply snatched the letter of appointment, scanned it over and over again, and wondered, "What is this thing? I just saw your baby like that, I thought it was a silver ticket."

Being taken away from the commission, Hong Jiu was shocked at first, and wanted to rush to fight for it, but then he thought of his current identity, but suddenly changed his mind, and just said indifferently, "Silver note? This thing is much more valuable than a silver note." .”

"real?!"

Hearing this, the short and strong beggar hurriedly put the letter of appointment into his arms, looked up and saw his two companions staring at him, and said confidently, "What are you looking at? I'll keep it first, and I'll give it to the deaf master when I go back." Take a look!"

As he spoke, he pushed Hong Jiu again, and ordered him to follow him back obediently, and let the deaf boss tell him what to do.

Hong Jiu sneered again and again, but he didn't make any resistance, and obediently followed the three of them back the same way.

As I said before, the deaf boss controlled nearly a hundred beggars in the Shanxi Lane area, and he could earn at least six or seven taels of silver every month, so he bought a house long ago.

Because the area of ​​the house is not big, just around the back of the shadow in front of the door, I heard the sound of panting in the main room, wave after wave.

Seeing that there were seven or eight listeners lying on the wall outside the window sill, the short and sturdy beggar with a letter of appointment also leaned up to him with mischievous eyebrows, and asked with a lewd smile, "Master Deaf is in such a good mood today. It’s done in the clear sky?”

"Isn't this a windfall?"

Someone responded, "Master Deaf got a shell from somewhere, and sold it for eight taels of silver! When I was happy, I called my old friend Li Jiaojiao from Chun Nuan Pavilion, and said that I would treat everyone to eat in the evening." Where's the table!"

The short and sturdy beggar turned his head to Hong Jiuyi and said gloatingly, "Hey, isn't the sufferer right here?"

As he said that, he took out the letter of appointment from his bosom, and said triumphantly, "It's not just the shells, our brother Hong Jiu is very righteous, he went to Shuntian Mansion, and rushed to pay tribute to Lord Deaf. It is said that this thing is worth more than silver notes!"

Who would have thought that he had just found out the letter of appointment here, and before he could wait for Haosheng to show off, he heard the deaf boss inside yelling, "What a treasure, bring it in for me to see."

It turned out that this guy knew that his subordinates were listening to the wall outside, so he purposely pressed Li Jiaojiao against the window to make trouble. But just as soon as he vented his anger, he heard from the outside that he had snatched some treasure from Hong Jiu again.

On normal days, he might not have taken this seriously, but he had just tasted the sweetness of 'Tao Zhu Jin Bei', and he was inevitably looking forward to Sichuan.

And a group of villainous beggars outside were also inexplicably excited when they heard this, they hurriedly surrounded the 'appointment letter', and swarmed in, and saw that Li Jiaojiao was naked for a while, and she was rushing towards the bedside with a pale face.

Before everyone could take a closer look, she had pulled off her clothes to cover her chest, stomped her feet and said coquettishly, "You damn ghost, why don't you wait for me to put on my clothes before calling them in!"

But I didn't know that this stomping gave up a lot of spring.

Seeing that several of his subordinates looked like they were taught by sex and soul, but the deaf boss didn't care, he stepped forward, hugged her in his arms, and said with a smile, "Anyway, I will take it off later, why waste this effort?" ?”

As she said that, she wanted to pull the skirt away, so that the eyes of all the younger brothers would be addicted to it.

Unexpectedly, this kiln sister is a man of integrity, she stretched out her hand to hold down the skirt, raised her eyebrows and said, "If you want to see it, you can add money first!"

The deaf boss laughed, skipped the point and said, "What about the baby, let me see it!"

"Here, here!"

The short and sturdy beggar presented the letter of appointment with both hands as if he was in a hurry to offer a treasure, but his eyes slid down Li Jiaojiao's collarbone, wishing he could jump out of the eye sockets and go in to see what happened.

The deaf boss took the letter of appointment and saw that it was a torn piece of paper with a big red seal stamped on it, but he really couldn't recognize what it was.

"What the hell is this?"

He frowned and glanced at the short and strong beggar, seeing that the other was also full of bewilderment, he raised his voice and said, "Where is Hong Jiu, bring him in for me!"

The beggars pushed each other, but no one wanted to miss this rare scene.

The deaf boss's face darkened, and he was about to speak and curse, but suddenly he saw the door curtain lifted, and Hong Jiu walked in on his own initiative.

"Yo~"

The deaf boss couldn't help laughing and said, "You are quite self-conscious! Come on, tell me what kind of treasure this thing is. If it is really valuable, I will spare you another finger."

"A finger?"

Hong Jiu put his hands back and sneered, "I'm afraid it's not enough?"

"how?"

Hearing this, the deaf boss couldn't help being overjoyed, he held the letter of appointment and said with bright eyes, "Could this thing be more valuable than Tao Zhu Jinbei?!"

Hong Jiu shook his head and said, "To you, this thing is worth nothing; but to me, this thing is indeed worth more than Tao Zhu Jinbei."

The deaf boss felt upset when he heard his misty talk, threw away the letter of appointment, got up from the bed, and said cursingly, "You bastard, you're just entertaining me—I think you're probably skinny Is it itchy?!"

Saying that, he lifted his fist as big as a casserole pot, and waited to show Hong Jiu some color.

"One ear!"

Hong Jiu didn't dodge or dodge, but instead shouted, "Are you trying to rebel?!"

The deaf boss immediately flew into a rage when he heard the words, because his family name was Long, so he didn't dislike the address of the deaf boss, but the word "one ear" really hit a sore spot in his heart.

"Okay, okay, I think you don't want to live today!"

The deaf boss said, and raised his voice to say hello, "Go, bring me a hammer. If one of the three fingers is missing, I will take your surname from now on!"

Just as the others were about to agree, the short and strong beggar was the first to snatch it out.

Everyone was regretting that they didn't grab this good opportunity to flatter, but they heard Hong Jiu sneer again, "That baby is nothing special, it's just a document that the government appointed me to be the head of the beggar—from now on, Shanxi Lane, All the beggars in Dou'er Hutong and Lianpengwu are under the jurisdiction of the Chief Bao, if I don't let anyone beg on this piece of ground, he has to get out!"

Hearing this, all the beggars in the house were a little dumbfounded.

The deaf boss was also stunned for a while, then smiled and scolded sternly, "Could it be that you have lost your mind and made up such nonsense..."

"it is true!"

Before he could finish speaking, Li Jiaojiao suddenly screamed, "This thing is stamped with the official seal of Shuntian Mansion, he...he seems to be the chief security officer!"

After the scream, the room fell into a dead silence.

From the deaf boss down, all the evil beggars stared round and looked at Hong Jiu in disbelief.

"That's not right!"

After a long while, someone questioned, "Why have I never heard of it, what kind of security guards do we beggars have?"

Seeing that other people were also a little ready to move, Hong Jiu immediately snorted and said, "If you can read, go to the gate of Shuntian Mansion and take a look, and you will see the notice of 'Beggar Baojia System'. Starting next month, all Beggars must be restrained by the Chief Bao and the Chief Jia.”

After a pause, he raised his nose and said proudly, "By the way, Master Hong, I'm not talented, and I'm the first one in the four or nine cities to be a security chief!"

The room was silent again, the face of the deaf boss changed from cloudy to cloudy, and even the work on the crotch became sluggish.

But after a long while, he suddenly raised his chest up again, and sneered disdainfully, "Even if you did some shit to protect the head, so what? I have land and a house now..."

As he said, he turned around and took Li Jiaojiao into his arms, and continued, "...there is a woman, why are you a beggar?!"

Although he said this harshly, none of his henchmen would cheer him on - the deaf boss has earned enough money, and they will still have to beg for a living in the future!

Hong Jiu's eyes turned on Li Jiaojiao's chest, and after getting an evaluation that was far inferior to Xu's, he smiled again, "You have made a good plan, but besides taking care of beggars, my security chief, if you If any crimes are discovered, they must also be reported to the government.”

As he said that, he raised his eyebrows and jokingly said, "Boss deaf, I'm afraid you've done a lot of stealthy things, don't you? Would you like me to report to the official and take you to the yamen for interrogation?"

The face of the deaf boss suddenly turned down again. It would be fine if he was just stealing chickens and dogs, but he was also involved in a lot of dirty things behind his back, how dare he go to the government to accept torture?

But this guy is really tough, he gritted his teeth, pushed Li Jiaojiao away and said, "Okay, I, Long Tiezhu, have confessed! There is no need to disturb the official, you, Chief Hong Bao, come down, how can you let me go?" Immediately, I, Long Tiezhu, will obey obediently!"

This guy is really a bachelor!

Although Hong Jiu hated the deaf boss deeply, he couldn't help but feel admiration. Originally, he only wanted to take revenge, but now he had some other thoughts.

While walking his mind, he said with a smile, "Didn't you just say that if you lose one of the three fingers, you will have my surname today? Our Hong family can't afford it, so you'd better not break your promise and get fat. "

The deaf old man naturally understood what Hong Jiu meant, and was groaning silently with his fists clenched, when he saw the short and strong beggar rushing in with a hammer in his hand, and threw himself in front of the deaf old man, shouting like offering a treasure: "Master Deaf, I found the hammer for you!"

The deaf boss looked at the hammer, the veins on his forehead trembled a few times, and finally said in a shy voice, "Give it to Chief Hong Bao."

"Hong... Chief Bao?"

How could the short and strong beggar know that the situation has been completely reversed in just such a short period of time?

Holding the hammer in a daze, Monk Zhang Er was puzzled.

At this time, a tall and thin man suddenly appeared from the sidelines, grabbed the hammer, put both hands in front of Hong Jiu, and said with a smile, "Chief Hong Bao, please use it."

What a villain who adapts to the wind!

Hong Jiu secretly gave a 'like', took the hammer slowly, and raised his chin at the deaf boss again, "Deaf boss, let's start now."

The deaf boss knew that he couldn't escape today, so he gritted his teeth and squatted down, and put his hands on the ground, "Come on! Chief Hong Bao, whichever finger is pleasing to the eye, just smash it down!"

"readily!"

Hong Jiu gave a thumbs-up, and didn't want to be pretentious with him. Mao lowered his waist and raised the hammer high, pinpointed the deaf boss's right thumb and smashed it down!

"Ah~!"

That Li Jiaojiao screamed in terror, the deaf boss was also heartbroken, and couldn't help but close his eyes.

touch~

However, after the hammer fell, the expected sharp pain did not come as expected.

The deaf boss was feeling puzzled, and suddenly heard Hong Jiu laughing and said, "Sure enough, he is a man! Seeing that you still have some backbone, I might as well show you a clear way-now I, the new chief security officer, took office. , I am short of a few armor chiefs who can do things, I don't know..."

puff~

Before the words finished, the deaf boss had already knocked his head on the ground, and said naively, "President Hong Bao will call me Tie Zhu in the future!"

Before Hong Jiu could speak, a few more knelt down behind him, and they all said in unison, "The villain is willing to work for Master Bao!"

Hong Jiu never expected that it would be so easy to recruit these people.

Seeing them kneeling on the ground one by one with flattering expressions on their faces, and thinking about their high-spirited appearance at the beginning, Hong Jiu couldn't help but realize something in his heart—the thing about power , It really is a good thing!

Chapter 413

Not to mention how Hong Baochang enjoyed the pleasure of power while he was among the beggars.

But he said that when he was approaching Sanya, Sun Shaozong finally got the latest transcript of the interrogation.

Unsurprisingly, the Tian family and the Xu family had conflicts of interest for a long time.

This Tian Biao and his elder brother Tian Hu are respectively the shopkeeper and accountant in Song Changgeng's tea shop. In recent years, the accounts have been quite unclear, so Xu has been trying to put his own people in, but they can't. He was rejected by the Tian family in the name of Song Changgeng.

However, once the Xu family remarries with the shop, it will not be effective to use Song Changgeng's banner. At that time, the two Tian family brothers will definitely be kicked out by the long-standing Xu family.

Of course, this only proves that they have the motive to commit the crime.

As for whether the Tian family had found someone who looked exactly like Song Changgeng to replace him in order to reverse the situation, it would depend on Qiu Yunfei's subsequent investigation results.

Putting the interrogation transcript together with the original case, seeing the setting sun outside, Sun Shaozong got up to add some water to the parrot in the corner, and prepared to call Sun Chengye home together.
