Chapter 66 Aren’t You Afraid?
"New county magistrate? Are you the new county magistrate?"
He had never heard of a county magistrate being so powerful. In the past, most of them were weak scholars. He had been working as a constable for more than ten years. The strongest county magistrate who came to Sanshui County was only at the post-natal realm. When had he ever seen such a terrifying one?
But why does this name sound familiar? I seem to have heard it somewhere before. Wait, Shen Yu? Could it be Shen Yu, the county magistrate of Bai'an County in Tanzhou?
Unable to help but look up and down at the man in front of him again, the more Lu Ze looked, the more he felt that the man in front of him was very similar to the Bai'an County Magistrate in the intelligence. They had received news before that the court was going to send a new county magistrate, but they didn't know who this county magistrate was. Could it really be this gentleman?
"Captain Lu, do you know me?"
"I don't know him, but he is very famous for his mastery of the zither and swordsmanship recently. He is definitely not an ordinary person who can destroy the Jinyu Tower branch by himself!"
"These are just rumors, they are not that powerful!" Shen Yu did not expect that this name would spread to Sanshui County, which made him feel a little embarrassed. This name of being the best at playing the zither and swordsman is too embarrassing, what a crappy name.
"It's really you!" Shen Yu on the opposite side did not deny it, which meant that the person in front of him was really the legendary master of zither and swordsmanship that had been widely rumored recently. The court actually sent this gentleman to Sanshui County. Unbelievable, simply unbelievable!
Although Lu Ze had not seen the opponent's swordsmanship, he had seen the terrifying sound of the piano. The hundreds of experts in the Fenshui Gang, plus several masters who were not inferior to him, could not even struggle to escape. One can imagine how terrifying their strength .
With such a powerful person crossing the river, I'm afraid there will be a big wave in Sanshui County!
"Captain Lu, I originally thought that the Sanshui County Government Office was rotten from top to bottom and needed to be chopped down. But your appearance has changed my mind. You are quite good for being untainted by the mud!"
"Thank you for the compliment, sir!" Wiping the cold sweat from his forehead, Lu Ze was glad that he had made a prompt decision to come and save people today, which changed the impression of him in the mind of the new county magistrate.
Otherwise, based on the fact that he personally knocked this gentleman unconscious today and handed him over to the Fenshui Gang, when the new county magistrate arrives at the county government office, the first thing he will do is probably to target him.
By then, you can't clear yourself even if you jump into the Yellow River. You said you were just pretending to be nice to them, but who can prove it? Everyone knows that you are greedy and take bribes. In the eyes of others, if Lu Ze is a good person, then there will be no bad people on the street.
At this time, Lu Ze was also a little scared, so even if he pretended to be in cahoots with them, he couldn't be too exaggerated. What if he was accused of being a hero? He would have no place to cry.
"Sky Frost Fist!" Just when Lu Ze was embarrassed, Shen Yu next to him had already arrived at the edge of the rockery and punched the rockery not far away.
The two-person-high rockery shattered with a loud bang under this punch. Countless pieces of gravel were covered with a thick layer of frost, and the chill was unstoppable.
"Hiss, what a domineering boxing!" Such a terrifying boxing made Lu Ze's pupils shrink. This county magistrate was definitely not just a master of the zither and sword as rumored. At least the boxing and lightness skills he saw today were both at the pinnacle and intimidating.
I really don't know where these perverts came from, they have such skills at such a young age. I think I am already over thirty years old, but I am still hovering at the acquired realm. I used to think I was a big shot, but now I feel my self-esteem has been severely damaged.
He is not here to be a county magistrate, but to stimulate ordinary people like them.
"Sure enough, it's here!" Shen Yu found what he wanted in the secret compartment under the rockery, and opened it to take a look. There were not only some records of other gangs' handles, but also an account book.
The account book in it records the general income and expenditure of the Fenshui Gang. According to the account book, the Fenshui Gang is responsible for defrauding and arresting people, and some of those arrested will be sold to brothels or secret kilns run by the Baizhu Gang.
The rest will be handed over to Changhetang, where they will have special people responsible for training and sales. From top to bottom, it can be said that a complete industrial chain has been formed. Judging from this situation, these bastards have been doing this for a long time.
In addition to recording the gangs that had interests with the Fenshui Gang, the account book also recorded some expenditures. The biggest expenditure was the money paid to the county government, which needed to be managed from top to bottom.
The one who received the most bribes, apart from the county lieutenant who seemed to be never satisfied, seemed to be the captain Lu in front of him. If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Shen Yu might have really thought he was a corrupt official and killed him directly.
After flipping through the account book, Shen Yu looked at other records. Most of the records were about small gangs that were in competition with the Fenshui Gang. They would find something to hold against each other, and it was normal for them to trip each other up for no reason.
And because everyone is competing with each other, everyone knows each other's background clearly and the records are relatively detailed.
As for those truly powerful forces, the Fenshui Gang was not even close to that level. Even if he knew something by chance, Jiang Buming would never dare to leave any information behind.
Because he knew very well that the little evidence he left behind would not hurt the other party's foundation at all. But if they knew that he secretly had the other party's evidence, even if it was just a little bit, it would bring disaster to the Fenshui Gang.
Besides, the Water Dividing Gang only does the hardest work at the bottom level. The bigger forces control the docks and traffic arteries, and they can make a lot of money with just a little bit of brainpower.
But the lower these forces are, the more despicable their methods are. In order to make money, they can be said to have used all kinds of methods. Forcing women of good families into prostitution, setting up traps, and all kinds of methods are really shocking!
Opening casinos and setting up scams has torn countless families apart. According to the records in Shen Yu's hands, there are many families who have been forced to sell their children because of loan sharks.
After putting away these records, Shen Yu's face was not looking good. He must have had murderous intentions in his heart. "Captain Lu, do you dare to make trouble with me in Sanshui County?"
"Make a scene? What do you want to do, sir?"
"It's a dark and windy night, a good time to kill people!" Looking up at the pitch-black sky, Shen Yu patted the information in his hand and said coldly, "Before tomorrow morning, I want these gangs to be wiped out!"
"Hiss!" This gentleman was so murderous, he was playing such a big game right from the start. It was obvious that he didn't seem to be joking, so even Lu Ze had to be cautious at this time.
"Sir, have you really thought it through? Once you start a war, there will be no room for redemption! Think about the previous two county magistrates, aren't you afraid?"
These small gangs that cover half of Sanshui County can be easily destroyed in the eyes of the county magistrate. But if they are all destroyed, the whole Sanshui County may become a panic tomorrow.
Those big forces, those who can really make the decision, will all look over here. In the eyes of these big forces, the destruction of these small gangs is harmless, but this precisely represents the attitude of the new county magistrate.
Such a tough county magistrate is not what everyone wants! In a word, Sanshui County does not need a county magistrate who is causing trouble, and it does not allow such a tough person to exist!
"Afraid? What a joke! I just want to tell them that since I'm here, their good days are over!"
