Volume 5 Chapter 19

"Then tell me why I can't do it."

Lin Xi took a look at Xu Jianling, turned around and smiled at the middle-aged landlady of the cold tea shop beside him, saying: "landlady, can I borrow some clean tables to talk?"

When I heard that Lin Xi was the new arrest in Donggang Town, I couldn't believe this landlady and the people around him. At this moment, I heard that Lin Xi said that, this landlady who hasn't seen many people in the world was a little flustered, just couldn't stop nodding and didn't dare to answer for a moment.

The crowd dispersed a little, and Xu's face relaxed a little. But after the initial shock, there was a little more inexplicable anger in his heart. He even sent such a young man to press on his own head, and he looked so weak. It was necessary to investigate and arrest the prisoners, but it wasn't after reading for several years, and not every prisoner Will be obedient to capture, you can let people obediently go back with you?

"Three, would you please keep it for a while?"

After a smile at the young foreigner, Lin Xi nodded to the old man with two killed fish, the woman with a wooden basin full of wet clothes, and a man who looked like a shopkeeper in a nearby shop.

"We..."

Hearing Lin Xi's words, all three of them were shocked. Their faces turned white for a while, and they didn't know why Lin Xi ordered them to stay alone.

"Don't worry, I'm sure I won't bring trouble to the three."

Looking at these three people are hesitant and afraid, Lin Xi whispered again.

Influenced by Lin Xi's words and the look of Lin Xiping, the three men were brave enough to look at each other. They followed Lin Xi and others into the cold tea shop nearby.

Because the carriage was not convenient to enter, Peng Xiaofeng, who had just put the relevant circular documents of the Ministry of officials in front of Xu Jianling, did not enter, but sat on the carriage and waited.

"Tell me why?"

Lin Xi sat down in the herbal tea shop, looked at the standing Xu Jianling, Liu Tong, the young people from other places, the old woman selling tofu and so on, and asked.

"It seems inconvenient to say it here, sir." Xu took a deep breath, tried to squeeze out some flattering smile, and lowered his voice.

"What does it matter." Lin Xi ordered some herbal tea and looked at Xu Jianling. He sneered and said, "look at the people outside. They are just worried about being questioned by me, but they don't know what the reason is. Apart from me and the brother from the other hometown, I'm afraid no one knows why they should hide it."

Xu Jianling was very unhappy in his heart. At this moment, Lin Xi said this, and immediately his heart became angry again. He said in a deep voice: "since your excellency said this, I said it clearly. Do you know "black oil" and "stone mouse"

Lin Xi shook his head and said, "I don't know."

"It's a black eyed young boy with a green face and skin." With a sneer in Xu's heart, he looked at Lin Xi and said, "black oil is the laborer on Xizi river who specially picks up oil and unloads ships. Because the oil stinks and is tanned, it's called black oil. This part of black oil mostly has a strong body, and usually has a lot of leisure time. It's easy to fight and make troubles. In addition to the large-scale business of tung oil, there is actually a sand and stone business in Xizi river. The bottom of Xizi river is full of fine sand and stones. The best way to pave the road is to dig out silver. There are many workers in this part. Most of these two parts are in the charge of four people, Zhang Erye, Zhu Siye, Zhen Wuye and Liu Qiye. "

Lin Xi smiled and said, "Liu Tong is Zhu Siye's man, right?"

Xu Jianling was stunned, nodded and said, "it's right."

"Then you can get to the point. Why is he Zhu Siye's man? I can't do it?" Lin Xi took a look at Xu Jianling and Liu Tong, and asked earnestly.

Xu Jianling inhaled deeply. I don't know why, Lin Xi's face has always been very calm, and he looks very good. But the means and tone that he used to express before have always made his chest hold a bad breath, which can't help bursting out.

"There are a lot of black oil and stone mice, but we have a small number of people in the house. Usually, seven of the ten cases we mentioned were caused by drunkenness or fights with other laborers. " Xu Jianling forced the evil spirit in his heart and said in a deep voice: "it's still under the control of fourth Master Zhu. If we don't have them, I'm afraid we can't be too busy to mention that the constable has broken his leg."

Lin Xi looks at Xu Jianling and shakes his head: "what you said is not sincere enough. You didn't say the real reason at all."

Xu Jianling is stagnant.

"Lord Lin."

At this time, before the herbal tea shop, however, two people came to the house and bowed to Lin Xi.

These two are Du Weiqing and Liang Sansi.

They had just settled a dispute over renting in tianxianglou, two lanes away. Suddenly, they heard that the new arrest had arrived in Donggang Town, and there was a conflict here, so they rushed to see that Lin Xi was as young as some of the people along the way. Both of them were about the same as Xu Jianling at the beginning The idea.

"You are?"

Lin Xi looks at Du Weiqing and Liang Sansi.

Du Weiqing, who is more than 40 years old, gives him the first impression of being mature and sophisticated, while Liang Sansi gives him the first impression of being generous and honest.

"I'm Du Weiqing. I'm constable."

"Think twice about lowly Liang. Replace the catcher."

"Good." Lin Xi motioned that they could come in at will, then looked at Xu Jianling, and then said, "I said that you are not sincere enough to tell the real reason. It is because the number of personnel in each department of each town is to be assessed at the provincial level. It is precisely because the population and complexity of Donggang Town are far more than those of other towns, that the number of catchers in Donggang Town is more than that in other towns Several names. If you say that the black oil and the stone mouse are not controlled by the fourth master Hong, we can't control the house at all. Either you are incompetent, or you are blind to those high-ranking officials who want to mock the official department. "

"Since you said that they were in charge of the fourth Master Zhu, seven of the ten cases that we usually mentioned were caused by their people, that means that they were not in charge of it."

After a slight meal, Lin Xi looked at Xu Jianling, whose face was becoming more and more ugly, and said: "this shows that the law enforcement of the constable is not strict or unfair! Can't we catch every troublemaker? You don't want to tell me that the Xizi river will not flow if you catch these people. As long as the reward is rich, even if the house catches a hundred people a day, I don't know how many people will rush in to fill these people's vacancies! If other people can't come in, I'm afraid it's because fourth master Hong is in charge of them that they can't come in, right? "

Du Weiqing and Liang Sansi don't know what happened before, but when they heard Lin Xi's words at the moment, their forehead and waistcoat were immediately covered with a layer of cold sweat.

These sharp and true to the extreme, is a common read a few years of books can speak out of the calf!

The anger in Xu Jianling's heart was also suppressed by these words of Lin Xi. There was a chill in his heart. He insisted: "you are right, sir, but the truth is very complicated. It's not so simple."

"Of course, what I said is not the most direct real reason."

Lin Xi looks at Xu Jianling and ignores Xu's words, but continues to say calmly: "you tell me what kind of people black oilseed and stone mouse are, just to remind me that these people are very fierce. If we manage too much, they may deal with us. But you also know that this kind of vicious Jianghu Gang, no matter how powerful it is, is just a bandit. We can't arrest the house. There are also the governor and the army of Yunqin. When will the officials of Yunqin and the army of Yunqin not be able to control these evil Jianghu gangs? "

"So when you say you can't do it, you don't want to do it unless you dare. You should also be taken care of by Zhu Siye at ordinary times."

"Your Excellency, you speak well." Hearing Lin Xi's relentless questions, Xu Jianling couldn't help but look at Lin Xi angrily and say: "you may not be afraid of Zhu Siye when you first come here, but our family is all in Donggang Town, so we have to worry about it. We are also afraid of being beaten. Usually Zhu Siye does care for many people. Like us, it's impossible to get on the stage Face the little man. "

After a slight meal, Xu Jianling said in a sharp voice: "you know that there are only four of them, but why not call them Mr. Zhang, Mr. Zhu, Mr. Zhen and Mr. Liu. Why do you call them Mr. Zhang, Mr. Zhu, Mr. Zhen and Mr. Liu? I can tell you the reason. That's because of their status today. They fought with others and robbed them. They have eight brothers in total, and now there are four left. Now they have these characters who are not desperate. Even if they kill us to pay for our lives, they can pay for their lives. People's lives are worth their lives, and they don't violate the law of Yunqin. But how many lives do you have? "

"There are people, money and backers."

Lin Xi smiled and looked at the old lady who sold tofu, and Du Weiqing and Liang Sansi

Du Weiqing hesitates for a moment, bows himself again, and says, "Lord Lin, it's true."

"Then why does Liu Tong want to trouble this mother-in-law?" Lin Xi ordered the old lady selling tofu with grey hair and looked at Du Weiqing and said, "I don't want to hear lies and nonsense."

Du Weiqing smiled bitterly and said: "the concubine of Zhu Siye is interested in a small building near the river, but the owner of the small building near the river is an old man with a surname of Mo who is engaged in tea business. He is very stubborn and thinks that it is his ancestral property, but he refuses to sell it. Then Zhu Siye uses some means. If his tea leaf business can't go on, he rents half of it to this grandma Liu. If it's grandma Liu's business If it doesn't go on, the old man will cut off the rent, have no silver income, and can't support himself, so he should only sell the small building. "

After taking a look at grandma Liu, Du Weiqing then said: "grandma Liu's son lost a lot in the tung oil business in the past few years. As a result, he committed suicide by throwing himself into the river. Even his house was taken over by the creditor. It should be that the rent of the old man surnamed Mo was cheap, so he lived there. Fourth Master Zhu didn't let her do business today. I didn't expect that."

"Is he telling the truth?" Lin Xi looked at the old man with two killed fish and asked.

The old man and others hesitated a little
