Chapter 127
In fact, the Pingdu Yamen has long been desperate for local public security. Just look at the two places around them: one is Laizhou, where mine owners are everywhere; the other is Zhaoyuan, so there is no need to introduce it. It is quite famous in modern times, and they are all fucking outspoken people who are trying out gold.
In another time and space, in the late Ming Dynasty, they were able to be powerful and rampant in the mining supervision of officials, wealthy businessmen, and Liaodong where generals and soldiers gathered. However, they had no choice but to accept Zhaoyuan. In the end, they could only accept it and report to the court that the gold and silver were "deprived" and just eat a portion of filial piety.
The wildness of gold diggers is far beyond ordinary people's imagination, and it is quite xenophobic. I will briefly introduce a few history. After the discovery of the Australian gold mine, those wealthy and powerful mineral companies purchased the mining rights. Then all those who entered were killed, and as many as they entered, they would kill as much as they entered. In the end, they could only give up treatment.
And gold hunting in San Francisco is even more ruthless. Many people may not know that the whole San Francisco is actually a farm with one person? But what happened later? Where did those gold hunters care about so many? Free land grabbing, free real estate transactions, and buying and selling other people's land at will. When that person seeks a court judgment, the gold hunters rushed into his home that night and killed all his three sons. They scared the farmer who happened to be not at home and the judge who ruled ran away overnight. Even the US government later agreed to the facts. So, what kind of Western legal spirit is boasting about? Sometimes, this is actually a bullshit!
For gold mines, even using state machines would be a big blow. Imagine the two Boer Wars of the Empire that the sun never set, and the British Empire could cry in the toilet.
But the great blessing in the misfortune is that, individually, gold hunters are indeed wilder than Jingjiazhuang, but they are not organized at all. They are busy with their own small gangs to make gold. They do not talk about unity and are ruthless internally. The overall strength is much worse than that of Jingjiazhuang mine owners who are hundreds of times and thousands of miners. They are also more restrained and do not go out to waste. Therefore, they become much less famous.
However, if you don’t go out and wander, there will always be a few people who can’t stay idle. Therefore, Pingdu is sandwiched between Laizhou and Zhaoyuan, and his life is incredible.
However, if you become a good doctor after a long illness, you will be harmed by many disasters. Pingdu Yamen will have a very skilled way of dealing with it, that is, to deceive the superiors and hide the subordinates, to turn big things into small things, and to turn small things into small things.
If reported to the court, not only will officials be punished, but the result of the handling is nothing more than sending troops to encircle and suppress such "bandits". Those yamen runners will definitely refuse to die, and it is impossible to use combat soldiers or foreign troops, so they can only use local garrisons. But do you still know the combat effectiveness of those garrisons? Can you fight a ghost? Maybe it's okay to steal.
Moreover, they are all locals in the countryside. The bandits are well-informed and have long since run away. The final result must be to harm Pingdu villages again. The government not only has to help wipe its butt, but may also be punished by the court again. It is really impossible to lose the official position and dismiss him.
So under normal circumstances, the Pingdu government prefers to solve the problem by using the means of martial arts and lakes. They can sell each other for face, but as long as it is not too much, they can open their eyes and close their eyes.
However, when Li Shuli asked Lin Hao, Lin Hao hesitated. First, the world is in trouble, and the reputation of the people who are provoking officials is always unpleasant. Second, he is in a bad way for this matter, and Lin Hao takes the initiative to blackmail. Oh, no, Match is not a bad guy, it is a serious product. And Yongsheng greeted him according to the rules of the world. Morally speaking, Lin Hao has no reason at all.
Seeing Lin Hao hesitating, Captain Qiu became impatient: "Master Hao, we actually know that it was Bai Er from Jingjiazhuang. What a joke. Hundreds of people in Sunjia Village were killed against dozens of people. And you and Sunjia Village want to join forces to swallow this goods. You can't steal chickens and lose rice! Now that the matter is getting big, should you give me an explanation?"
Seeing that the yamen had already learned the truth, Lin Hao became a bachelor: "What explanation is given? Could it be that Jingjiazhuang bullies us Pingdu people?"
"Not bad things." Captain Qiu cursed, "The matter is one code and one code. This case will be reported as 'hors bandits are rampant and crossing the border'. However, it requires handling points, not less than 1,500 taels. I'll ask you, when are you going to give it?"
After the establishment of the Ming Dynasty, in order to solve the problem of lack of war horses in the Central Plains dynasty, the horse policy of "official herds and herdsmen to change to people's herds" was implemented. After the implementation of this policy, it was indeed not short of war horses throughout the Ming Dynasty for more than 200 years, but the people who shed horses suffered a lot. Especially Shandong became a severely affected area, which led to repeated suppression of horse bandits.
Now, the horse bandits have become a panacea for officials in Shandong to shirk responsibility. As long as it is a difficult case, it can be pushed to the horse bandits. Anyway, the horse bandits must be wandering everywhere and have no jurisdiction. If the law does not punish the public, they can get through the imperial court.
But when he heard that he wanted 1,500 taels, Lin Hao jumped up and said, "Why don't you go and grab it? Why do you need so much money?"
"Yes! We won't rob it. How can you be like your Master Hao? You are so majestic. You can still grab a group of evil stars?" Captain Qiu sarcastically said.
Seeing Lin Hao's face look ugly, Li Shuli quickly stopped the two of them from quarrel: "So that's it! One thousand taels will never be missing. It will be delivered to the yamen within three days. Otherwise, don't blame us for not saying good things to you in front of the master."
Lin Hao nodded reluctantly. The result was acceptable. How could he say that he wanted to stay in Pingdu City in the future, so he couldn't offend the government? For a moment, he felt a little regretful. He shouldn't have been greedy that night, and in the end he even had to pay money in it himself.
Li Shuli continued: "There is another thing, how should Bai Er solve it? We will not care about the grudges between you, we must ensure that Pingdu market must be stable."
Li Shuli means that if you seek revenge, go out, we will be out of sight.
"Hey, what is that Bai Er's origin? Why haven't I heard of it before? When did Jingjiazhuang have such a person?" Captain Qiu asked from the side.
Seeing that Li Shuli was also very curious, Lin Hao felt spirited: "A little character, a young man who just emerged."
"Oh!" Li Shuli and Captain Qiu immediately began to think about it. Such young people who have just emerged often do things without knowing the importance of the matter and are more desperate. They just want to make their own reputation.
