In the garden in the backyard, Lu Ming flipped through Old Jackal's autobiography, which contained more than ten pages of extremely detailed experiences from his boyhood to the present.
Before going up to the mountains to become bandits a few years ago, the Jackal Gang was actually a nursing team maintained by Li Dahu, the owner of the Nanping Mine, one of the four major coal mines.
Later, Lao Jackal broke up with Li Dahu in anger because his son slapped him.
Coupled with the turmoil in the current situation, he led the Jackal Gang to rob the armory in the county town, went up the mountain to remove weeds, and forced the mine owners and landowners to pay filial piety every year.
Soon, a tragedy occurred in which Li Dahu's whole family was massacred. Not only did it leave the mark of the Jackal Gang, but witnesses also saw Lao Jackal among the murderers with their own eyes.
According to Lao Jackal's self-report, he had never done this before. In the days before and after the tragedy at Li Dahu's house, he and most of the Jackal Gang were in Black Mountain and did not go down the mountain.
However, Lao Jackal confessed to a lot of murder cases, most of which involved gangsters taking advantage of gangsters, but there were also civilians among them.
For example, the Wang family in Jiangjun Bay is wealthy and is the largest household in Jiangjun Bay. Because they refused to pay filial piety money, the Jackal Gang attacked Jiangjun Bay at night. More than a dozen of the Wang family's nursing staff were killed, and the young female relatives were insulted. The Wang family Two sons were kidnapped by them. Later, one was redeemed by the Wang family with a huge ransom, but the other died on the mountain.
The man who led the team down the mountain was the Sky-Drawing Fox Chen Qifa. Most of the Jackal Gang gangsters involved in this murder had died in the civil strife, and those who were still alive were in Chen Qaqifa's rebel gang.
Seeing this, Lu Ming shook his head. Gangs are gangs, and this is an era when the government forces the people to rebel. In fact, after falling into the trap of bandits, they lose the constraints of social rules, and people are no longer human.
According to the news from Montenegro, Chen Qifa was originally going to be appointed as the new captain of the inspection team of Longgang Mining Bureau, but this guy refused to resign. It seems that he took advantage of Lao Jackal's wealth and planned to run away. He is indeed very cunning. , knowing that it would be difficult for him to die well if he stayed. If his enemies didn't look for him, he would be eliminated by the Hu family sooner or later.
While he was thinking about it, Hei Tou entered the backyard through the moon cave door, "Master, I have reviewed the Thirty-Six Qing'e of the Sixteenth Queen..."
Lu Ming got a headache when he heard "Thirty-six Qing'e".
It was the group of people who scattered flowers, carried sedan chairs, played suonas and drums. It turned out that there were thirty-six people in total. It seemed that each trip was not full, but took turns.
Thirty-six Qing'e is also a tradition of the Liuli Palace. The thirty-six Qing'e of this generation are the attendants that Liuli slowly selected after joining the gang and awakening. They were also trained by her. In fact, they are not only the honor guard, but also have their own There are some who have unique skills, some are sharpshooters, some are good at close combat, some are good at concealment and reconnaissance, some are good at coaxing men through romance, etc.
When the Jackal Gang was on the run and in internal strife, Thirty-six Qing'e did not accompany the team, but Madam Liuli made other arrangements.
After all, Lao Jackal didn't know the secrets about Madam Liuli.
Now the thirty-six Qing'e are all in the front yard, kneeling and sitting in the hall, but there is silence, as if they are listening to Madam Liuli's sermon.
Madam Liuli is the god in their hearts.
As for themselves, they are now called "ancestors" according to Madam Liuli's order.
This method is similar to Bizhu's, but Bizhu also knows how to work around it, asking the subordinates she trains to call herself "Xiaozu".
Mrs. Liuli may have completely copied the tradition. She would first call herself "ancestor" in a low-key manner before making her true identity public.
Very low-key?
Lu Ming smiled bitterly as he thought about his past life's film and television literary works. The "ancestors" were usually villains and bosses, and few died happily in the end.
As for her true identity, Madam Liuli said that only Baozhu Palace has the authority to announce it to the outside world, which can be regarded as a kind of confirmation and review of her identity.
But I have guessed some of it. It would be too slow to think of it at this time. It just feels incredible.
However, since Bizhu has not officially recognized her identity, she doesn't think too much about it. This is good and relatively relaxed.
Otherwise, just thinking about the possible burden would give me a terrible headache.
I even hope that it would be best if I guessed wrong to avoid endless hardships and troubles in the future.
After thinking about it, Lu Ming asked Heitou: "Can these many people live here?"
"The Sixteenth Queen arranged it so that we can squeeze it in. There are four sleeping rooms inside and outside the wing, and there are thirty-two bunks."
Lu Ming nodded. There are four wing rooms, both inside and outside. That's eight rooms, four in each room, and thirty-two bunks.
Mrs. Liuli lives in the west room of the main house and will have four attendants, exactly thirty-six people.
Moreover, there is also Qing'e on duty at night, so the bunk can indeed be accommodated.
It's just a little too crowded, although those Qing'e obviously don't care about that.
Fortunately, Pirlo and the female teacher had already moved to the dormitory arranged by the school, otherwise they really wouldn't be able to live there.
Thinking about it, Lu Ming said again: "Look at the various weapons and ammunition, special knives, exquisite mechanisms and concealed weapons that Qing'e need. Please make statistics. Those who need drawings must understand and order the best for them from the East China Sea. "
Blackhead nodded in agreement.
There was a sound of footsteps, and Uncle Sun walked in from the other side of the Moon Cave Gate. He had a wry smile on his face. Naturally, he passed by the front yard and saw the strange interaction between the devout believers and the goddess in the yard.
Mrs. Liuli was probably using the secret technique of sound transmission to preach to the believers, so there was no sound in the entire front yard.
But the faces of the believers were filled with admiration and intoxication.
It’s weird to think about that scene.
"Master, a letter from Agent Gong." Uncle Sun handed the secret telegram in his hand to Lu Ming.
When Lu Ming opened his eyes, Lao Gong said that a special task force had been set up and would be stationed in Sansha Town tomorrow to investigate the crimes of the Jackal Gang and then file a public prosecution.
The leader of the task force is Lin Guangzu, chairman of the Longgang Police Station’s Litigation Office.
Montenegro’s litigation system is a bit like that of the four northern provinces. There is no specialized prosecutorial agency at the county level, but the police station has a litigation department.
The "Grand Prosecution Office", the full name of which is the Office of Serious Crime Litigation, is responsible for the prosecution of serious criminal cases or where there is no longer a perpetrator.
In ordinary criminal cases, such as fights, etc., the victims still have to file lawsuits themselves.
This is a bit like the feudal dynasty era.
Looking at Master Gong's telegram, Lu Ming nodded. Old Gong seemed to be doing well and had the situation under control to some extent.
The city will definitely take this case forward and send Lao Jackal to the city hall for trial.
Even because Judge Sharif’s intentions are unclear now, he may be prepared to hold a trial in a different place.
If Lao Gong can withstand it and can really send people to work, then, in just over a month, he has really made a name for himself in the Longgang County Office.
Of course, the mining bureau lost the lawsuit and paid huge compensation, which will definitely further elevate Lao Gong's status in the county office.
People with a discerning eye will vaguely feel that this new interest group that has entered Longgang, represented by Gong Dai, Lu Jingjing, etc., is very powerful and must not be taken lightly.
…
Because the Guangming Law Firm has not yet been built, the sign is temporarily hung in a store on the street, with a cloth shop on the left and a pawn shop on the right.
Whether it is a cloth shop or a pawn shop, there are very few people coming in and out.
In fact, Pirlo bought this row of stores. Although he was a poor man in Donghai, he could still make money to buy a row of stores in Sansha Town and go back to work with his friends.
Sherlock's brother-in-law is actually a smart man. He sees the business opportunities and feels that with Commissioner Lu's current situation, Sansha Town will definitely become more and more prosperous, and the land may be doubled in the future.
Now he can better understand the meaning of his fictitious cousin-in-law. With Commissar Lu, there is really gold everywhere. If you just reach out and grab some soup, it will be money that ordinary people cannot earn in a few lifetimes.
However, he was very measured and deliberately looked for a store that Lu Ming borrowed money to buy. Then he and Yaya bought the land together. Yaya accounted for 60% and he accounted for 40%.
Lu Ming also acquiesced that it would be good to leave some real estate for Yaya.
At this time, Lu Ming was sitting in this temporary office. A row of wooden door panels had just been picked off one by one by Cui Xiaodong and put aside. It was considered to be open for business.
In front of Lu Ming, stood a young woman wearing black-rimmed glasses, blue cloth trousers, white socks and black cloth shoes. She was very neat and exuded a rustic and rustic atmosphere. She was Huang Guirong.
"I want to sign a contract for twenty years, and I have to pay it in advance every year. That is, now that I sign a contract with you, you have to pay me 360 yuan, which is my annual salary for the next year."
"Also, if you fire me before the end of the year, or the office becomes a slut, you have to pay all my remaining wages at once."
"Wages must be raised every five years to keep pace with price increases."
Huang Guirong was negotiating terms without giving in. These should be terms that she had been considering for a long time.
Lu Ming pondered, "Let's do this. I'll sign a contract with you for thirty years. As you said, the annual advance payment will be, but the annual salary will be 300 yuan, or in other words, according to the purchasing price level, it is equal to 300 yuan today."
Twenty years later, when you are in your forties, you should be the most famous and at the peak of your overall ability. At this stage, 300 yuan a year will be used for you. It is interesting to think about it.
Thinking about it, Lu Ming smiled again. In fact, if Huang Guirong could really come out, her annual salary would be nothing at all. How could he treat her badly?
But now it's his job as a boss to negotiate terms with her at every penny.
Huang Guirong bit his lip and said, "How about an advance payment of three years each time, which is equivalent to 1,000 yuan today?"
Lu Ming thought, "950, no more!"
Huang Guirong pondered for a long time and finally nodded: "Okay, I will sign a contract with you now." There was a faint smile of victory on her face. It was obvious that the current conditions had exceeded her expectations.
At this time, there was a trembling old man standing in front of the shop door, leaning on a cane, and a middle-aged woman next to him was supporting him.
"Excuse me, who is Boss Lu?" The old man's voice was hoarse and slurred, as if he had phlegm in his mouth.
Cui Xiaodong hurriedly welcomed him out and led him inside enthusiastically, "Our boss Lu is here. Old man, do you have any lawsuit to fight?"
The middle-aged woman sneered, "Yes, we are here to file a lawsuit with Boss Lu. The people from our business are at Boss Lu's place. My husband and I are here to ask for help!"
Cui Xiaodong was stunned. The person who came was not good.
Lu Ming winked at Huang Guirong and said, "Please help me handle this. This is also the last entrance exam."
Lu Ming quickly thought that the surname was Shang. A large businessman in Linxian County was also the family where Liuli Palace temporarily stayed.
Three years ago, a wealthy businessman wanted to send a lean horse that had been carefully raised for more than ten years to the provincial dignitaries, but was robbed by an old jackal.
At that time, Liuli Gong had just turned fourteen, but she had already conquered the country, and her beauty and charm skills were said to be unparalleled in the world.
Lu Ming felt that there should be various secret techniques involved.
I thought that the handsome and thin horse from the five provinces south of the Yangtze River would make merchants the guests of the provincial capital's dignitaries, and be promoted from a county squire to a provincial capital celebrity.
Who knew that in the end it would be all joy and nothing.
I heard that the business later failed.
But didn't expect to come to ask for someone so soon?
Lu Ming smiled. Thinking about it, he was instigated by someone else. Otherwise, such news would not reach their ears now.
Over there, Huang Guirong invited them to sit down and asked them cordially why they were there.
Sure enough, the old man was a wealthy businessman, and the middle-aged woman was the old man's former concubine. His current wife's surname is Zhang.
When they came to Sansha Town, they found out from the hawker that Boss Lu was in this store now, so they rushed over.
The wealthy businessman looked tired from walking, and when he came in he was stroking his chest and panting, mainly because Mrs. Zhang said that his mouth was like a machine gun, clicking.
She said that her family's thin horse was intercepted by bandits. Now that the bandits are under the law, it should be returned to his home.
After listening to Zhang's words, Huang Guirong smiled: "Ms. Zhang, Mr. Shang, you two should stop being so thin and thin. This is an insult to the character of Boss Lu's sixteenth wife. According to the official document issued by the county office, The Sixteenth Lady made a meritorious service by reporting the bandit leader Lao Jackal, and has regained her freedom. After that, she voluntarily married Boss Lu, and is now Boss Lu's sixteenth wife."
Looking at Mrs. Zhang, Huang Guirong's face became serious, "Especially Ms. Zhang, if you insult Mrs. Sixteen by calling her "Shou Ma" again, my client, Boss Lu, will sue you for insult and make financial claims. "
Lu Ming nodded as he listened. This little girl came well prepared and had done some research on her family's recent situation. She was indeed here to negotiate a contract, and she also needed to know herself and her enemy.
Mrs. Zhang over there was stunned, and suddenly burst into tears.
"Okay, okay, okay, you just bully my father into being lonely. He doesn't want his son, he doesn't want his daughter, and now, I don't want him either. Just keep him!"
Get up and leave crying.
Huang Guirong frowned: "Ms. Zhang, in this case, I will call the police. You may be guilty of the crime of abandonment. Moreover, even if it does not constitute a crime, the patrol police will send Mr. Shang back to your home. You will be charged for the full cost involved." Please think clearly about payment, are you asking for trouble?!"
Mrs. Zhang was stunned, her expression changed, she took a few steps back and sat down slowly.
Lu Ming smiled at this time: "Ms. Zhang, I heard that the merchant used to have an iron mine that was very good and the mining volume was large? Why does it look a little depressed now?"
"The mine has been robbed by others a long time ago!" Mrs. Zhang gritted her teeth and glanced at the old man, "It's because this old guy failed to live up to his expectations! He has no ability."
The businessman seemed to be suffering from senile dementia and had no reaction at all to Zhang's insults.
Mrs. Zhang raised her head and looked at Lu Ming, with a flattering smile on her face: "Boss Lu, you are from a wealthy and wealthy family. How can I say that my family has also been kind to your sixteenth wife? Speaking of which, I She's pretty good to Mrs. Sixteen! I've always asked the trainees to teach Mrs. Sixteen her skills. This old guy, in the first few years, he called you Mrs. Sixteen's name several times when he went to sleep..." After a pause, "It's not because I'm so careful! He doesn't dare to do anything?"
Lu Ming scratched his head and thought to himself that you were not careful because you were afraid that the big businessman would just be a dead body.
"In consideration of this little incense, Boss Lu, can you please give me some reward? This old man's children will no longer care about him after dividing the family property. If I hadn't taken care of him, he would have blown out the lamp and pulled out the wax. "Look, how pitiful we are..." Sighing, Zhang looked at Lu Ming pitifully.
"How come your iron ore mine is gone? The mining rights have expired?" Lu Ming was obviously not very interested in what was happening next to him.
Mrs. Zhang sighed: "I don't know what this old guy did in the past two years. He owed a lot of money and the mine was paid off."
Lu Ming nodded and said to Huang Guirong: "Sign an agreement with them for 200 yuan, and you are officially hired!"
"Ah, thank you, Boss Lu, thank you!" Mrs. Zhang was overjoyed. Naturally, she hoped to extort a large sum of money before she came, but following this naughty girl's sharp retort, she already felt that there was no hope of getting a penny. But she didn’t expect that Boss Lu was willing to give her 200 yuan, which was a huge sum of money for her today.
Lu Ming waved his hand and returned to the inner room.
Although Mrs. Zhang didn't have good intentions for Liulicong at the beginning, after all, she had been providing delicious food and drinks for more than ten years, and had various female masters teach her skills, so the cost was not low.
If you give them some points, according to tradition, you will end your relationship with the merchant, and you will have nothing to do with it from now on.
…
As night fell, in the hall, there were exquisite dishes on the round table. They were made by Qing'e in the kitchen.
Lu Ming and Mrs. Liuli sat opposite each other.
Looking at this charming and beautiful girl, who was so obedient and helping him pour wine and dishes, Lu Ming sighed in his heart. He finally felt like home here, and this little temptress was really able to seduce people. She wore a Hunan skirt. The next pair of Zhou Zhengkan's small feet in embroidered shoes seemed to be hooked on the stool, as if they were trying to hook her own soul.
There is even a hint of it. Do you really want to go through the heretical path tonight to pass the reversal period?
My heart suddenly pounded and my body felt a little hot.
Surrounded by faint fragrant orchids and musk deer, the enchanting figure of this little temptress seems to be more and more arousing, making people feel itchy.
Lu Ming turned his head hurriedly and sighed in his heart. After staying in the West Palace for a long time, he would have to turn into a foolish king who didn't go to court early.
"Sir, that Zhang Aman treats slave very well. He regards slave as a golden mountain and a cash cow. He also knows that slave will be favored in the future, so he will not treat slave badly." Mrs. Liuli chuckled and said: "But I have the body of a dragon with ten thousand gold, how can I compare with those mortals? I may not be able to pamper my slave."
"Pamper you, pamper you, I will buy you some good things from the East China Sea later..." Lu Ming dealt with it randomly.
"Slave, thank you for your reward!" Mrs. Liuli left her seat Yingying, and knelt down gracefully in front of Lu Ming.
Seeing the little temptress with the fragrance of flowers kneeling at his feet in surrender, Lu Ming felt a fire burning in his heart. He really wanted to grab her fat wrists and pull her fragrant body into his arms to enjoy it. .
But he finally turned his head and coughed, "Okay, let's eat quickly!"
