As he spoke, Lu Ming looked at the most unusual of the burly men on the other side of the campfire. He looked like a thin young man with dark skin, one leg missing, and a cane.
Lu Ming smiled at him: "Lao Liu, do you think what I said is right?"
The young man was expressionless at first, still picking up pieces of beef, as if he didn't know that Lu Ming was talking to him, but the black man with an iron tower had eyes as wide as copper bells, "How do you know this? This is impossible! There is no one in this world. The third person knows!”
There was a look of helplessness on the young man's face. He turned to look at Lu Ming and smiled slightly: "Boss Lu is really powerful." Although he was smiling, it was a little forced and there was a hint of uneasiness, because his identity was like "Hei Lao "Six" said that no third person in this world should know.
The burly men who were roasting beef with the young man were all dumbfounded. They looked at the young man and then at the big black man.
Obviously, they didn't know what happened.
Roasting beef with them was the fortune teller Shen Qing and Brother Shen Liu, who ranked sixth among the eight leaders. He seemed to be the first to follow Master Liu. Among the eight kings, Brother Shen Liu, although he was frail and weak, even had difficulty in moving. He didn't even have the strength of a gun, but he had a lot of tricks up his sleeve and his words always had weight. The other seven people were all a little afraid of him.
Lu Ming looked at Shen Qing and smiled slightly: "Shen Taisheng is from Linhai City, Anton. He is the sixth in the family. He is wanted for murder. He fled here with his loyal servant Tie Jun, right?"
Shen Qing's expression changed again and again, and he said calmly: "I didn't kill anyone, I was wrongly accused!"
Lu Ming nodded: "So, we are somewhat similar."
Shen Qing snorted coldly, thinking that Lu Ming was mocking him.
Lu Ming smiled: "You really want to know, how did I know the secret that no third person should know here?"
Shen Qing said calmly: "It would be nice if Boss Lu could make me die and understand." He then said: "Boss Lu's cannon is pointed at my head, right? To say that, with Boss Lu's character, this meeting would not have been so serious. Want my life, but since my details have been revealed clearly by Boss Lu, I made a miscalculation! It seems that I can’t escape this disaster. But Boss Lu, Tie Jun is stupid and won’t harm anyone. I want to give him now If he pleads for mercy, it seems like I'm being hypocritical, so Boss Lu can decide on his own."
Lu Ming looked at him and shook his head gently: "Although you are very proud and claim to be a fortune teller, in fact, this world is very cruel. No matter how hard you calculate, you can't compare with the white ocean and the colorful flowers. of banknotes, your head is only worth 10,000 red banknotes!" He turned to look at Li Xiao'er, who had a gloomy expression on his side, "Li Ba, come over here!"
Li Xiaoer'er was stunned, this was different from the original plan.
Shen Qing looked at Li Xiao'er's expression, gritted his teeth and nodded: "Baby, I don't treat you badly, forget it..." sighed, "I just want to know, how did you know?"
Li Xiaoerdu moved back a few steps and said nothing.
Lu Ming smiled and said: "You, your loyal servant, once slept with Li Ba. When you were drunk, you talked in your sleep unintentionally. In your sleep talk with your hometown accent, you also mentioned your name and called you Young Master. My name is After people checked it out, they knew it was you, and your murder case was quite sensational in the local area."
"You bastard! You bastard!" Tie Jun glared at Li Xiao'er angrily, turned around and took a few steps, knelt down in front of Shen Qing, and kowtowed, "Master, I'm sorry, I'm sorry! I promise you not to drink. , but one time, Li Xiaoerduo tempted me with some good wine, and I couldn’t help it anymore!”
Shen Qing sighed softly and shook his head, "Time, fate... are none of your business!"
"Boss Lu, do it quickly... things will change if you wait too long..." Li Xiao'er couldn't help but remind him.
Lu Ming smiled and said, "Why do you do this? Do bad people die because they talk too much?"
Li Xiaoer'er was stunned and even more surprised: "Boss Lu, are you going to change your mind?"
Lu Ming smiled again: "What change of heart? The plan you told me? Kill Hei Lao Liu, Tie Jun is a fool, you can control it, you want to be the real Hei Lao Liu, rely on Tie Jun to give orders, and then slowly eliminate dissidents , lead the team to join me again? But think about it, all the plans were proposed by you on your own initiative. I didn’t promise anything, but I promised you one sentence, that is, even if the matter is exposed, I will keep you safe! In this words, I will definitely keep my word!"
Li Xiao'er's face turned blue and white.
Lu Ming said again: "Come here, turn around, I will take you to Donghai and help you remain anonymous. I have 10,000 yuan in savings, which is enough to buy a house and a car. If you find a good job, as long as you work hard enough, you will be very prosperous for the rest of your life." , and it’s safe and sound, a hundred times better than you licking blood with the blade of a knife, which you didn’t understand today.”
Li Xiaoer'er was stunned, but seeing the gangsters over there staring at him as if they were going to kill him, his heart trembled even more, and he hurriedly took a few steps and stood behind Boss Lu and the others.
Fortunately, Boss Lu seems to be a man of his word. No matter what, he will not burn bridges after selling him the big secret.
In fact, she had already lost her head to do this, and gave the 10,000 yuan to her mistress to hide. Even if she died, the child in her belly would have someone to rely on in the future.
I have already made a plan. After Boss Lu gets rid of Hei Laoliu, he will also deal with the worst plan himself.
"You won't kill me?" Shen Qing looked at Lu Ming with a little surprise in his eyes.
"Why should I kill you?" Lu Ming smiled: "If I want to kill you, I don't have to bother so much. It's very simple for me to make your gang disappear. I will give them five thousand yuan each. As long as If you make them believe that they can get these five thousand red notes safely, do you think they will all come down and join me immediately?"
"Why? Because bandits, no matter how much you want to have rules and restrain them with morality, a mob is a mob, they are all just for food. As long as there is another way out, most people, who wants to be a bandit who may lose his head at any time? ?”
"You talk about morality every day, but in fact, there is no real path for your group to continue walking on. If there is no path, how can you talk about morality?"
"You also understand this, so from the day you went up to the mountain to become a bandit, you put your loyal servant in front, because you know that you can't carry it on your shoulders and lift it with your hands. If you become the bandit leader, it is impossible to suppress him. You can stand up to those unruly and ambitious thugs, again, because you know that gangs have no morals and are themselves the product of breaking social rules, so what are the rules? If you are the boss, others will be more vicious than you. You can still be the boss."
"As for Tie Jun, he actually has a tough temperament and good marksmanship. In this lawless place in the mountainous area, he appears to be ferocious and evil enough. He won't be afraid of anyone in a fight, right?"
As Lu Ming talked eloquently, Shen Qing's expression changed. Finally, he sighed deeply and said, "You are right, Boss Lu. It seems that I have underestimated you after all."
Lu Ming looked at the big black man again and said with a smile: "In a civilized place, no matter how unruly the Iron Army is at heart, whether it is steel and iron bones, or his marksmanship is like a god, so what? But in a civilized place, he will always be a servant, very humble, Therefore, at that time, Tie Jun was loyal and reliable, and he also enjoyed the respect that can only be enjoyed as a member of the Shen family."
"But I have been in this mountainous area for a few years, Tiejun, do you think it is better here or in a civilized place?"
Lu Ming looked at the big black man with a smile.
The big black man snorted coldly and ignored Lu Ming.
"Why do you have to listen to this helpless guy in everything? I am Hei Lao Liu. Why can't I make the decision in everything, but I still have to be respectful to him behind his back?"
Lu Ming smiled: "Tie Jun, am I right?"
Shen Qing turned his head in shock and looked at the servant and brother who had followed him here from thousands of miles away.
The big black man just sneered and said nothing.
"Li Ba said that it was not an accident that he was suspicious of you, so he took the opportunity to get you drunk. It was because you inadvertently let the conversation slip in front of him a few times, right? In your opinion, among the Eight Great Vajras, Li Ba is the most evil-minded person. At most, he’s very cruel and cunning, right?”
"You think that after Li Ba learns the inside story, he will kill Shen Qing and secretly control you, because you have always pretended to accept his instigation, right?"
"But in fact, this idiot Li Ba is your pawn."
Li Xiaoer'er looked at the big black man in disbelief. Is this guy so cunning? !
Lu Ming smiled again: "However, you still have a trace of conscience, or in other words, there is a natural rule that binds you, so that no matter how vicious your plan is, you will never think of killing your young master with your own hands."
"So, I will leave you alive. You don't have to wait for the person you arranged. Now, hold your head and come over."
The big black man snorted: "You..."
There was a soft "pop" sound, and a little yellow sand splashed in front of the big black man's feet.
Lu Ming said coldly: "On the count of three, it will be your forehead. Now you squat down and come over with your head in your hands."
"One..." Lu Ming raised his head and made a 1 gesture.
There was a soft sound of "poof".
"Ah" screamed, and the big black man staggered, squatting on the ground, covering his calf, and glared at Lu Ming angrily, "You just counted one!"
Lu Ming smiled and said, "Yes, that's why I asked you to come over three times ago. This shot is a scratch, and the next shot will really hit your leg. Three is your head!"
As he spoke, he raised his palms to make gestures.
The big black man immediately gritted his teeth, squatted down with his head in his hands, moved over extremely quickly, and kicked up waves of yellow sand.
Uncle Sun took two steps forward, gently reached out and held his neck.
The big black man was startled suddenly, and felt as if he was being pressed down by a huge mountain, unable to move any further.
Lu Ming looked at Shen Qing. At this time, Shen Qing was stunned, with a look of despair on his face.
Several big men beside him were also shocked by this turn of events and didn't know how to react.
Lu Ming said calmly: "Lao Liu, I want to say now that you are finished. The Black Lao Liu gang will soon fall into pieces and disappear. Do you believe it?"
Shen Qing smiled bitterly and said, "Yes, you are right, so Boss Lu, what do you want to do with me?"
"But if hundreds of gangsters split into several or even a dozen small gangs, it will be more difficult to manage, and it is not what I want. So, Lao Liu, I have brought you a way. Only on this way can there be You can speak morally!"
Lu Ming waved to him: "Lao Liu, come here!"
At this situation, Shen Qing smiled bitterly in his heart, claiming that he was a divine fortune teller in vain. Now he was completely suppressed and had no power to fight back.
Using a cane, Shen Qing slowly walked over.
Lu Ming waved to Liu Sili and He Mojun again: "Sili, sister-in-law, you guys are coming too."
Liu Sili and He Mojun watched this thrilling drama of gang strife from beginning to end. When they looked at Lu Ming again, their eyes were even different.
Even if this Mr. Lu is just a person with a relationship with the new county magistrate and comes here to share the cake, then I am afraid that Mr. Lu will have to decide how to divide the cake in Longgang County in the future, including the four Big coal mines, I'm afraid, will also change their flags.
He Mojun was completely speechless. Third son, did you have a hole that you didn't open before, but then you had a high fever or something, and you opened it, and that's why it became like this? If you look at some literature and art, there are storylines like this.
The two of them were thinking wildly and walked over as instructed.
When Lu Ming reached out, Black Head took out some small notebooks and red-headed documents from his briefcase and handed them to Lu Ming.
Shen Qing, Liu Sili and He Mojun had already gathered around him.
"Here, here are the letters of appointment for the three of you, as well as the county office documents regarding the new zoning of the western mining area." Lu Ming smiled and handed the documents and notebooks to them.
The small red-covered book is the letter of appointment from the county office.
The red-headed document from the County Office stated that because banditry is incessant in the western mountainous area, in order for the people to live and work in peace and contentment, the mining industry to be prosperous, and to protect the people from resisting banditry, all the towns in the west were unified and divided into "Xiping District, Longgang County", and the district was opened. The office is located in Sansha Town.
According to the red-headed document, Xiping District, within a hundred miles of the mountainous area, consists of a dozen coal mining towns in the west, including Sansha Town and Jingyang Town.
On the red-headed document, there are a series of appointments.
Liu Sili was appointed as the district head of the district office.
There is also a deputy district mayor named Du Deling, who was originally the mayor of a coal mining town.
A district court was also established, with He Mojun as its first judge.
There are also appointments to the Finance and Taxation Office, Government Affairs Office, Police Station, etc.
Another red-headed document is a document to recruit the Hei Lao Liu gang to surrender, and proposes to amnesty the members of the Hei Lao Liu gang from all their crimes.
Shen Qing was appointed as the director of the Xining District Police Station and the head of the Xining District Vigilante Corps.
The Xiangshan Gang of the Hei Laoliu Gang can retain fifteen people at their discretion to join the police station as police officers.
The rest of the bandits, and then those who are good-hearted, will leave fifty to join the militia to serve as slaves.
The rest, resettlement allowances, will be distributed to various towns in Xining and they will be re-registered as citizens.
Lu Ming smiled at Shen Qing at this time, "Lao Liu, your letter of appointment and this second red-headed document will only take effect after you annihilate the Lao Jackal gang. Otherwise, recruiting you will not be obvious, right? Of course, , my people will cooperate with you."
He added: "For those who are committed to good deeds, and for those who are committed to good deeds, their performance in wiping out the Old Jackal gang this time can be used as the first test."
Shen Qing was silent for a while: "Understood." These officials have always been good at controlling their subordinates. Blank promises make everyone courageous.
"Old Liu, this is the real Tao. Although you are disabled, with this red seal of appointment, you are called the root, and no one will think that they can replace you by killing you! This is the social order , are the real rules." Lu Ming glanced at Shen Qing's expression and said: "Also, when the new equipment from Donghai comes, the number of mines here will increase, and even your brothers who have been disbanded will have a stable life. Food, but it is necessary to be a bit hard and tired. It is really unbearable, and you can't help. How can you help if you are used to being lazy and eating well? Being a gangster because you are eating well and lazy to work, then going to jail or even beheading is not unjust. them!"
"You still have six King Kongs now. You see how to arrange it. Call them for discussion. Again, my people are at your disposal for the time being. You tried their firepower early this morning, right? You should be able to deal with them. Something is a bit low."
Shen Qing smiled bitterly: "What if I don't agree?"
Lu Ming smiled: "Didn't you see that the red-headed document recruiting you was sent separately? If you don't agree, this red-headed document has never appeared."
"Actually, I have no other choice but to agree." Shen Qing sighed softly: "You can say that you are my benefactor, but I have never played this kind of marionette role. I was always the one pulling the strings from behind, not the puppet at the front.”
Lu Ming smiled: "You will get used to it in the future. In fact, it is a blessing not to have to use too much brain. How I hope this day comes!"
Shen Qing was stunned. His instinct was to roll his eyes, but in his heart, he felt inexplicably more fond of this young boss Lu. Although he was so mysterious and unpredictable, and he used to be very proud, compared to him, he was not at all. There was no way to fight back.
The mind is one thing, but as he said, this is not the right path for him, so a group of rabble-rousers can beat you to death with money without even using their hands.
Lu Ming added: "We need to hurry up about eradicating the old jackal. You should know that the old jackal is colluding with the city police. Don't wait for him to get some commissions. Then we will be in trouble."
Shen Qing nodded slightly.
"Boss, I won't say much else!" Liu Sili finally seized the opportunity and approached Lu Ming.
He is a smart man, so he dropped the word "Lu" in "Boss Lu".
He used to say that he was the mayor of the town. In fact, these coal towns are on the same level as administrative villages in other places.
Now, he has truly reached the sky in one step, reaching the eighth-grade official rank.
He Mojun also came to Lu Ming. He was surprised, incredulous, and even a little worried, "Third son, although I used to study law in school, I haven't touched it in many years, and now I don't know what many of the new federal laws are. How was it……"
Lu Ming smiled: "Federal laws can't reach here. We still need local people to properly apply federal laws and local rural regulations to find a combination. If a judge really comes from outside, within a few days, I'm afraid the people will be defeated." Change, and no one will be willing to come!”
"So, sister-in-law, it's up to you whether the legal system can be restored in Xining. And speaking more broadly, we are just a spark. In the future, Longgang, even the entire Heishan, and even worse, the entire Jiangning Province, will be the fire of the legal system. Sister-in-law, you lit the first fire."
"Sister-in-law used to be very brave. You used to contradict my father. Why, now you are getting timid as you live longer. Does this little challenge scare you?"
Looking at Lu Ming who was so excited when he talked about "A Catching Fire that Starts a Prairie Fire", He Mojun was in a daze again. He couldn't put the three sons together with the young man in front of him.
Sighing softly, "Sanzi, you have really changed a lot, and I have changed a lot too. Looking at you, thinking of my ideals when I was in college, I suddenly feel very ashamed." Then he said, "I will think about it carefully, anyway. ……,Thank you!"
Lu Ming wanted to say that brother would also want me to do this, but after thinking about it, he swallowed his words. He said it unintentionally, but the listener meant it. Don't disturb other people's current lives.
