Chapter 41: Team
Du Yi swung his ax three times. The first was to convict Gan Liu and draw a clear line with local forces. The second was to expel the county government officials to show his determination. Finally, with a high-profile combination of punches, he captured the old one-eyed man and slashed him for more than forty people. What a head!
The results are self-evident, they are all mute, Old One-Eye is dead, and the major forces in the county are uneasy. Based on Du Yi's various performances when he came to Shangyuan County, the three major families and local forces all know that they are not on the same page as the county magistrate. People, out of desperation, the last three families chose to join forces to fight against Du Yi, of course only in secret, but does Du Yi care about them? It's obvious, no need to say more!
In the evening, Du Yi left the inn. There were more than ten women in the inn. These were the poor women who had been rescued in Huanglongpo. Although they had saved these poor women, they still seemed depressed. Du Yi decided to send them away. When they go to the Snowy Mountains, there's only so much he can do!
At the same time, in the luxurious private room on the top floor of Yuman Building, Gan Bingkun entertained two people. The status of the two people was extremely high in Shangyuan County. One was Wu Yuqing, the head of the Wu family, and the other was the Yuan family. The head of the family, Yuan Shaojie!
Wu Yuqing is in her forties, has a well-proportioned body, is a martial artist, has a face with a Chinese character and bright eyes, and has the aura of a military commander!
Yuan Shaojie, on the other hand, is a little on the thin side, but neither of the two people here dare to underestimate the head of the Yuan family who is less than thirty years old. This guy is a cunning and cunning strategist!
Yuan Shaojie was born of a maid. He had to suppress a forced smile since he was a child, and suffered many twists and turns in his life. Regardless of his character, one thing is undeniable. Only by enduring hardship can one become a master. This guy first did some small business. , quite clever, he earned his first pot of gold in half a year, but the young master of Yuan's family took a fancy to his ability, tied Yuan Shaojie to his side, and took Yuan Shaojie's assets to himself. Yuan Shaojie became a He was a pauper, but he was not discouraged. He treated Yuan Zilong even more like a snake and helped Yuan Zilong manage his industry. Within two years, Yuan Shaojie completely controlled Yuan Zilong's industry and began to slowly plot against Yuan Zilong!
First, he trained some thugs, and then in the name of Yuan Zilong, he contacted Wang Mazi of Yangjiao Mountain and kidnapped the then head of the family, Yuan Zhenhai. The Yuan family was in chaos. Yuan Shaojie assisted Yuan Zilong in taking power and controlled all the Yuan family's properties. Of course, the damage to the Yuan family was not small. Not to mention two cousins left the Yuan family, and their business was also hit by the other two major families!
However, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse. The Yuan family has not yet broken their muscles and bones, and Yuan Shaojie has gained Yuan Zilong's trust. As for Yuan Zilong's father, Yuan Zilong has long forgotten about saving people, forget it. Will he be able to become the head of the family after being rescued? It's a pity to imagine that there are probably not many good people in the entire Yuan family who can raise such a son, and Yuan Zhenhai is probably not much better!
However, Yuan Zilong had the materials to control the family. He spent all day living and drinking, which delayed a lot of business. In less than half a year, the Yuan family's business shrank by 20%, which made Yuan Zilong a little worried.
Yuan Shaojie volunteered himself to open up business for Yuan Zilong and made a lot of money. Yuan Zilong was so happy that he put down his thoughts and spent all day drinking and drinking. However, Yuan Shaojie devoted himself to managing the family business. Without Yuan Zilong's involvement, Yuan Shaojie's business grew bigger and bigger. , he gained more and more personal power, and then with the consent of Yuan Zilong, he attacked the properties of his two cousins. In less than two months, the two uncles went bankrupt and left Shangyuan County sadly!
Afterwards, Yuan Shaojie spent another two years completely taking control of the family business, but Yuan Zilong fell deeper and deeper into the situation, and finally died violently from all his energy, and died on the woman's belly!
It doesn't matter to the Yuan family whether they are really dead due to exhaustion or there is a hidden agenda. The powerful Yuan Shaojie is not something that other members of the family can resist. Until the end, the position of the head of the Yuan family finally falls. into the hands of Yuan Shaojie, and with a tough attitude, he brought Yuan Zilong's original wife into his house as a concubine!
Yuan Shaojie's ruthlessness and forbearance made the other two major families very afraid. Until Shangyuan County became more and more chaotic in the past few years, Yuan Shaojie did everything he could to expand his business. The business grew bigger and bigger, almost competing with the Gan family. The situation, and today, the arrival of the county magistrate Wang Qiliang has forced the three families who were fighting to the death to cooperate again, and Du Yi actually played the role of a stabilizer!
As for how long this stable and united situation can be maintained, it is hard to say whether someone from the three major families will stab him secretly during this period!
In the evening, Du Yi returned to the county government office and saw two young men. After being told by Old Man Zhang, Du Yi remembered that they were the two detectives he was looking for. They were both in their teens and eldest son, Kong Wu. He is strong and has a thick layer of calluses on his hands, which is obviously caused by years of martial arts practice!
"Little Zhang Dahai!"
"Little Xue Wanqi!"
Du Yi nodded slightly, obviously very satisfied with the two of them. Du Yi could see that both of them were practicing masters, and what he lacked the most was helpers. It wasn't that he couldn't handle it, but he was asked to do everything. Not too much trouble!
"How about I promote you two to be the head catchers and get a monthly salary of five taels of silver?"
The two people looked at each other and immediately bowed down to express their gratitude!
"Thank you for your support, sir. We are both head catchers, but we don't have any fast catchers!"
Du Yi took a good look at Zhang Dahai, thought for a moment and said: "Well, that's true. In this way, I will give you two permissions. You two can each recruit ten detectives. They are usually responsible for local security and are responsible for arresting suspects when cases arise. How about ?”
The two of them were overjoyed, but Xue Wanqi thought of something and said hesitantly: "Sir, how much is the salary of the agents we recruit?"
"Three taels of silver a month, and there will be bonuses on every holiday. You two work hard and your achievements accumulate to a certain extent. The county will promote you and others. If you dare to break the law and discipline, I will not let you wait in the fish and meat village!"
"Thank you for your kindness, little man!"
The two kowtowed and thanked each other. Du Yi smiled and said, "Come down to the yamen with your men and see me in three days. I will receive one month's salary first!"
Both of them were extremely moved, and Xie En stepped back!
Watching the two people leave, Li Mingkui groaned and said: "Sir, are these five taels of silver too much?"
Li Mingkui was an orphan. He suffered a lot as a child and was adopted by an old hunter. He lived a peaceful life for a few years. However, after the good times came, the old hunter died and he was left helpless. Because he had gained great strength through hunting, he wanted to I wanted to go out and make a living, and then accidentally entered the Longmen Escort Bureau of Changming Mansion. Although I have been living a life of licking blood with the tip of a knife these years, my life is still tight. I heard that a head catcher only costs five taels of silver, and I can't help but feel a little sour in my heart!
"Humph, you tell me, why are you always focusing on money? How about I give you ten taels of silver a month and be the pawn for me. You will be in charge of the prison for the time being. I will send all the prison guards to me. , how about recruiting twenty people yourself, and making sure that the water in the prison that I am guarding is not poured into the water?"
Li Mingkui was immediately overjoyed. The county magistrate was an official from the ninth rank. To put it bluntly, from now on, he would be a red-topped man who would eat the royal food and be regarded as an official of the imperial court!
"Then my lord, am I also responsible for the police?"
Du Yi shook his head and said: "You, don't be too greedy. The prison will be overcrowded after a while. It will be good if you can be busy with the prison affairs. Work hard and I won't treat you badly in the future!"
"Thank you for your support, sir!"
Lu Xiao, who was next to him, was a little depressed. Speaking of these people, none of them had known the county magistrate for as long as he had. Zhang Dahai and Xue Wanqi became head catchers in the blink of an eye, and Li Mingkui became the official in an instant.
Although it is the lowest official rank from the ninth rank, it is still an official. I can't help but look forward to my next destiny!
Du Yi looked at Lu Xiao's expectant eyes, curled his lips and said, "Let's go, go and rest, I'm really tired today!"
Lu Xiao's face suddenly turned gloomy, but then Du Yi's words made him extremely happy: "Oh, there's also Lu Xiao. Lu Xiao will be promoted to county magistrate. Work hard and don't let your son down!"
If it were normal, Du Yi would not arrange it like this. After all, if he promised so many official positions, he would need to register and then enter the state government office. But at this moment, Du Yi had no other way to arrange these people in these positions.
There is no alternative. Firstly, there is no one available, and the original team is unreliable. Secondly, although I am not afraid of others now, I still need the team. At least it will be much easier in the future, and as long as I send someone to temporarily appoint these people
Sent to the state capital, as for the character of the money-greedy Zhizhou, Du Yi also knew very well, so he sent some valuable items at the same time. As long as they were handed over with his forehead, the money-greedy Zhizhou would not have any objections!
Lu Xiao was overjoyed and trembled when he heard the following words. He secretly vowed in his heart that he would never let his son down. He must find his wife to unite his family and give them happiness!
Not to mention the thoughts in Lu Xiao's mind, the days stabilized like this. Three days passed in the blink of an eye. In three days, Zhang Dahai and Xue Wanqi each recruited ten brothers, and Lu Xiao also found several government officials. As for Li Mingkui
He temporarily left Shangyuan County to look for his brothers. The so-called sharing of blessings, Li Mingkui will naturally not forget his brothers!
But Du Yi knew that although Shangyuan County was slightly stable at the moment, the undercurrent was definitely extremely turbulent. As for when it would break out, it would depend on when they lost their composure!
The beginning of winter has finally arrived, and with it comes the first snow of this winter. The snowflakes fall and the earth is covered with a layer of silver!
Du Yi sat in the lobby and looked at the two people kneeling down. One was Chen Mazi from Dongcheng. He was a pig butcher with some skills. He was called a pig butcher, which means he was called a pig butcher.
