Chapter 182 Chen Daming's affair
Chapter 182: Chen Daming’s affairs
Now Liu Peng has a different identity. If you don’t have the opportunity, you just want Liu Peng to help you with a big deal with a letter. This is really too despised Liu Peng. Even if you are a Jinshi or a Juren, you have to have a good conversation with Liu Peng. If you hand in a casual post, you will want to instruct Young Master Liu. What does this mean?
In the past two days, before Liu Peng even started to arrange his itinerary, he was filled with social gatherings that kept popping up. Yesterday, he drank tea with Chen Daming for an afternoon, and Chen Daming also complained about the pain all afternoon.
Zhang Yuguan is indeed unreasonable. Not only did he become the leader of the horse and Kuaishou, he also pulled twenty Kuaishou away from Kuaishou. Although he only pulled twenty of the people and staff, the county's labor and food silver was less than sixty people. Chen Daming's life was very difficult. After all, this was not a small amount. He is still trying to find ways to make up for the gaps.
Liu Peng gave him an idea: "The work of ICF is easy to deal with. Isn't there a patrol team there? Get a few brothers to help me. I'll find a way to find their own ICF and I'll do it!"
The patrol team has now begun to grow in scale. Even if it cannot be said to be completely regular, it is still on track. It is naturally no big problem to borrow a few veterans from the fast-paced team to help. Moreover, Liu Peng is willing to solve all the funds of these people, rather than mere labor and food.
Chen Daming immediately replied, "That's the best. I'll help me a lot. I'll lend you five brothers to help first. You can borrow whoever you want and just tell me."
Liu Peng immediately asked about the security in the county: "When I came back from Longkou two days ago, I felt that the county was not peaceful. What's going on?"
Chen Daming immediately replied: "It's not the one who got Dong Zhichao and Chang Qingshan. In the past, they colluded with bandits very deeply, so bandits were still restrained. But now I am in charge of the county's anti-theft affairs, so they deliberately demolished my platform, making these bandits make a big fuss and want to force me away."
Speaking of which, Chen Daming also had a headache for these bandits. In the past, when Dong Zhubo and Chang Dianshi were on stage, although Huangxian had many small cases, they were generally peaceful. However, when he came to the specific supervisor, there were major cases. Liu Magistrate had scolded him several times for this matter, and once even said, "If you can't do it well, let others do it!"
But his fast class had just been stabbed by Zhang Yuguan, and sucked away twenty people in one breath, and his strength was greatly reduced. Moreover, the fast class was able to deal with ordinary thieves, but there were not many ways to deal with such gangs of thieves. After all, the fast class only had dozens of people at most, and neither side had much courage to connect with white soldiers.
In the past, the fast class could also borrow the power of the strong class. Now Changshu has been in the strong class. It would be great if the strong class could not help. Liu Peng immediately replied: "In this case, Uncle Chen, it is still useful to speak in Longkou. Do we want our two companies to join forces to clean up both sides of the road to the county town?"
Although Longkou Port is by sea, the goods traveling by sea will eventually be transported by land. Huang County is not peaceful, and Longkou Port's business will also be affected. Chen Daming couldn't help but hesitate: "Is this appropriate? After all, some friends on the road have known each other in the past. They even killed them in a real sword and gun or even put them in prison. Maybe they would have to kill a few old friends, which is so unbearable!"
Liu Peng had his own thoughts. He said to Chen Daming: "Uncle Chen, you are thinking badly. You are taking care of old friends, but how do these old friends treat you? They are just ungrateful and complacent generals. Why should we be ruthless when dealing with such villains?"
Chen Daming felt that Liu Peng was right: "It's good and it's right. If they don't give me Chen Daming face, why should I give them face? Is your patrol team reliable?"
Liu Peng immediately said, "It's absolutely reliable. As long as I give orders, I can pull out at least forty or fifty brothers. At that time, I can't catch the big thieves, and it's good to catch a few little thieves and kill chickens."
As the saying goes, killing chickens for monkeys. If you catch a little thief, the big bandits naturally dare not avoid it. In fact, Liu Peng did not want to fight head-on with the big thief. After all, he had the same difficulties as Chen Daming. As long as he took on the battle, no matter whether it was a casualty or an injury or a casualty, it would be a mountain of gold and silver. Even if there were no casualties, the expenses were still a big number.
If it weren't for these bandits who might have affected Longkou's business, Liu Peng would not be willing to deal with them. Chen Daming asked in detail again: "I heard that your patrol team only has thirty people, and you still have to maintain Longkou's public order. How could you pull forty or fifty people out at one go?"
Liu Peng laughed: "Uncle Chen, don't forget that I have a water patrol team and dozens of people at sea. Besides, there are also war soldiers and auxiliary soldiers in war. Let me tell you the truth. Even if a brother of the patrol team is not here, I will say that Longkou can pull at least a team of forty or fifty people."
"Okay!" Chen Daming felt that Liu Peng was right: "Let's go back and deal with it. These people were in groups when they were working. Once, in broad daylight, they even gathered forty or fifty people to rob passing caravans on the road. This did not take me, Chen Daming, seriously."
The two talked for the whole afternoon before finalizing the general details. Liu Peng felt that the public security in the county is indeed not optimistic now. The reason is very simple, that is, until the end, Chen Daming forgot to talk to him about the "Romance of the Ming Dynasty".
You know, "Romance of the Ming Dynasty" is Chen Daming's heart. Usually, Chen Daming and Liu Peng met, and at least two sentences were about talking to him about this novel with a slightly autobiographical nature. However, today Chen Daming was so busy that he did not mention a single sentence. Obviously, the deterioration of public security in the county has made Chen Daming anxious.
Liu Peng became the owner of Longkou Port, so he naturally didn't want to see such a scene: "It seems that the Changfeng Team has to pull it out and practice it well!"
He likes to stumble on the water, but the disorderly chaos like the present is Liu Peng’s most annoying situation: “Dong Zhubo and Chang Dianshi are too underestimating me, Mr. Liu!”
However, after seeing Chen Daming off, Chen Daming finally breathed a sigh of relief. He decided to go back to his home to communicate with his parents. However, he originally wanted to relax, but he didn't expect that after returning home, he would have to deal with more things.
Even Liu Peng didn't understand why so many aunts and sisters appeared in his family. In the past, Liu Kangjie was just a young man in the fast class, and these relatives never came to the house during festivals. However, Liu Peng was doing something in Longkou, so this large group of relatives emerged from somewhere.
