Isn't this courting death?
Xiang Nan tilted his head.
"You coming or me?"
This question was asked to Gong Lianxue.
Gong Lianxue replied: "Let me do it~ You just protected my brother well, but it was only because the other party didn't treat you as a human being and wanted to take someone away from you."
Xiang Nan smiled,
"No, I just wanted to stretch my muscles. After all, I haven't done anything for a long time."
The conversation between the two was relaxed and pleasant.
The warrior whose arms were crippled said, "Old Yao, you are no match for these two girls. To put it bluntly, even if we join forces, we can't pry open one of them with all their strength."
The man in the short shirt replied: "We have to fight too."
tsk...
These two people are quite interesting.
However, neither Li Qingcha, Xiang Nan, nor Gong Lianxue minded teaching them a lesson.
Gong Lianxue's momentum surged.
Unfortunately, she didn't have the chance to take action.
I heard a noise in the distance.
"Who is fighting here? Get out of the way! Everyone, get out of the way!"
A group of soldiers rushed over.
The man in the short-sleeved shirt immediately restrained his fierceness in fighting. He looked pitiful, weak, and helpless. From a distance, he looked even more innocent than the little white rabbit.
Li Qingcha: ￣□￣｜｜
The underworld and the government are completely different. This is indeed true.
However, this does not mean that the monks are not cunning. Sometimes, they are even more cunning than the old foxes in the temple.
Li Qingcha can guarantee that the person who reported to the police was definitely one of the boatmen.
As soon as the officers and soldiers arrived, the leading military officer saw the situation on the field.
He glanced at the blood on the ground, and then confirmed who was injured. His pupils shrank suddenly.
Seventh Rank Warrior...
injured?
He suppressed his surprise and walked forward.
"Yao Zhixing, Suo Saner, I've told you a long time ago that if the Tie Pai Gang continues like this, they will run into tough opponents sooner or later. How about letting Dian Zi tie your hands today?"
Li Qingcha understood.
The man in short shirt is named Yao Zhixing, and the injured one is Suo San. The gang they run is Tiepai Gang.
There is a saying: "Live by the mountain, eat by the mountain; live by the water, eat by the water."
This does not only refer to food, but also to careers.
For example, in "Peach Blossom Spring", the opening points out that "the people of Wuling make a living by fishing." There are many such fishermen, and they are all from the same place, so naturally they will form associations.
Historically, the most famous such association was the Cao Gang. In order to protect their own interests, the canal sailors formed an association, which gave them more bargaining chips in negotiations with the Qing court.
Li Qingcha estimated that the Tiepai Gang should be similar, but far smaller in scale.
She asked curiously, "Can a seventh-rank martial artist establish a sect?"
Xiang Nan sneered.
"What kind of founding a sect is this?"
"This is at most a way of making a living by relying on one's cultivation." Gong Lianxue at the side echoed, "There are only a few leaders and elders in each sect. What should those who can't be promoted do? Will they be disciples forever?"
"This phenomenon is particularly serious among the warrior lineage."
"Indeed, for other... um... take monks as an example. They cannot be promoted to the chief of each academy, nor can they go out to open a small temple and become abbot. So they can preach the scriptures in the temple where they have become monks and practice, and earn some money from incense offerings, and live a comfortable life."
Li Qingcha understood again.
In modern times, a warrior is roughly equivalent to a programmer in a large company. He has a crisis at the age of 35 and may be promoted (laid off) (employed) at any time. He can only find another way out.
The Buddhist monks have a stable job, so...
cough cough...
Those who understand will understand.
Talking too much is all tears, the tears of working people.
While the three were whispering, Yao Zhixing walked up to the officers and soldiers.
"Captain Lin, our brothers have died, we must investigate thoroughly."
Lin Shoubei glanced at him.
Dead brother?
Which month doesn’t see anyone die in the Tiepai Gang?
Every time, they said they wanted to find out the cause of death, but in the end they would go to the store in the downtown area where the deceased had last delivered the goods to demand compensation.
This is no different from buying and selling goods, at most...
"My brother died, so I have to pay more."
Lin Shoubei glanced at the corpse, then his eyes fell on Li Qingcha and the other two, with a rather subtle expression.
The person who could injure Suo San so badly must be someone not to be trifled with.
He came over.
"Three of you, it is definitely wrong to fight in the street."
Then he paused for a moment.
"But, seeing that you are young, this must be your first offense. Besides, you don't look like locals of Mustard Bay, so this case must have nothing to do with you. So, just leave a statement and you can go."
The word "official" has two mouths.
With red lips and white teeth, as soon as the upper and lower lips touch, it becomes "This case has nothing to do with you."
Lin Shoubei knew that he had a certain amount of power, but this power was not enough to intimidate cultivators above the seventh rank.
As for why he was able to restrain Yao Zhixing and Suo San, it was because the two of them wanted to run the Tiepai Gang, and the members of the Tiepai Gang were all ordinary people who relied on the Grand Canal to make a living.
Li Qingcha smiled and walked forward.
"Let's just forget about the confession."
As he spoke, he took something out of his sleeve and stuffed it into Guard Lin's hand.
Lin Shoubei was stunned.
"I won't accept it..."
He was stunned, and weighed the weight in his hand.
It was not a banknote or silver, but a token. There was no inscription on the token, only a picture of a chick singing.
Best of all, it's made of ivory.
Ivory is such a special material that the tokens made from it have their own special names:
Tooth cards.
This is something only the government has.
Lin Shoubei did not dare to neglect it.
"you are?"
Li Qingcha smiled and said, "I won't keep the confession. Is that okay?"
"You... you..."
"is that OK?"
Lin Shoubei couldn't help but sigh. He knew in his heart that he was far from qualified to know the other person's background.
Chapter 114 Too clean
The matter is resolved.
Xiang Nan looked at Li Qingcha in surprise.
It's not that she didn't notice the deal between Li Qingcha and Lin Shoubei, but she didn't see what Li Qingcha took out. Even if she saw it, she would have no idea what the token of the Young Phoenix Camp was.
Lin Shoubei cleared his throat and walked up to Yao Zhixing.
"Send your brother to heal first."
The word "brother" is emphasized.
Yao Zhixing heard the irony in this, but pretended not to hear it and told his younger brother to send Suo San away.
Li Qingcha saw this.
suddenly,
"Captain Lin, I advise you to investigate this case thoroughly."
Lin Shoubei turned around and tried to figure out Li Qingcha's specific intentions.
Could it be that this young man was annoyed by the people from the Tiepai Gang and wanted to frame someone and take revenge?
Gong Lianxue thought so too.
She lowered her voice and complained, "Hey, stupid senior brother, we just beat them up, especially that Suo San, whose cultivation level hasn't recovered in a few years. You wouldn't be..."
Li Qingcha interrupted: "Am I that kind of person?"
Girl: Stare—
That look undoubtedly said, "Yes."
Li Qingcha: ￣□￣｜｜
"Do you remember how I behaved when I looked at the corpse just now?"
Gong Lianxue suddenly realized,
She remembered that the stupid senior brother said "Huh?" at that time, and he must have discovered something.
Li Qingcha smiled and said, "Of course~ As for revenge, I have always advocated 'revenge should be taken as soon as possible'."
Gong Lianxue gave her a cold look.
"(ˉ▽￣~) Cut~~"
Including Xiang Nan, the three of them realized that the Tie Pai Gang said that they wanted to investigate the case, but their real purpose was to make money.
Then just add a little bit of obstacles.
Li Qingcha said, "Lift up the straw mat."
Lin Shoubei was stunned for a moment, and said awkwardly: "Sir, this matter should be handled by the coroner..."
"I didn't say that to you."
"Hey?"
"The bodies haven't been taken to the funeral home. In other words, they are not under the jurisdiction of the government for the time being. Yao Zhixing, don't you want to seek justice for your deceased brothers? I can help you."
Li Qingcha was calm and composed.
If it was someone else, Yao Zhixing would definitely respond with “Who the hell are you!?”
However, Lin Shoubei's performance just now forced him to be cautious.
Li Qingcha also knew what Yao Zhixing was thinking.
