The guests eating next to me all expected this result, and they all sighed secretly.
Wei Heng said angrily: "That's unreasonable. You just believe what he says. Don't your yamen not use evidence when handling cases?"
Capt. Qi glanced at him sideways and said slowly: "I have not convicted you, I just took you to the Yamen for questioning. Why are you panicking? Could it be that you have done something illegal?"
Wei Heng sneered and said: "What a confusion of right and wrong, I think you must have received the benefits of the Eight Immortals Tower!"
Qi Baotou's expression changed slightly, and he said coldly: "Boy, you look a bit like Gao Junhui, the thief wanted by the imperial court! Brothers, take action, this kind of criminal thief is very vicious. If you dare to arrest him, you will be killed or alive!"
On the second floor, the three top officials of Youzhou felt as if they were being roasted on a fire rack.
The governor Qin Wenhui wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and opened his mouth. He was about to say something when he suddenly heard the sound of footsteps in the hall and another team of policemen broke in.
The leader was a stocky catcher.
"Lao Yue, this is my jurisdiction, what are you doing here?" Qi Baotou's expression changed greatly.
Yue Ping glanced around and said calmly: "Lao Qi, I'm sorry, my brother is also following orders."
"What order? What are you doing?" Qi Baotou glared at him.
Yue Ping glanced sideways at Zhou Chongchen: "Lao Qi, stop pretending. You and I both know what kind of place this Eight Immortals Tower is."
Zhou Chongchen said coldly: "Yue Baotou, I don't understand what you are saying. Our Eight Immortals Tower has always been operated legally, so where else can it be?"
"Legal operation? Does opening a casino count as legal operation?" Yue Ping snorted.
Qi Baotou said angrily: "Yue Ping, this is my jurisdiction, it's none of your business!"
"Humph, I'm sorry, I have to take care of it this time!"
"Okay, if you have the guts, I will send someone to report the matter to Liao. Don't regret it!"
"You go and report it, I'll wait here." Yue Ping said calmly.
"Okay, you're very good, let's wait and see!" Qi Zhong snorted angrily and gave a few instructions to one of his subordinates, who quickly left.
On the second floor, Wu Chengsi asked: "Who is Liao Lu?"
Ding Xingjian glanced at Qin Wenhui and replied: "Liao Lu's name is Liao Shuwu, and he is the nephew of Qin's governor!"
Qin Wenhui stood up suddenly, but as soon as he was halfway up, Han Cheng pushed him back.
"Qin Governor, what do you want to do?" Wu Chengsi narrowed his eyes and asked.
Qin Wenhui was sweating profusely and said: "Xiaoguan just wants to plead guilty. Liao Shuwu is indeed Xiaguan's nephew. Xiaguan did not discipline him strictly and didn't know that he was actually involved with the casino. I am so ashamed, so ashamed!"
Qiu Zhibin fanned the flames and said, "Qin Governor, don't you know that your nephew is colluding with the Eight Immortals Tower?"
"Of course I don't know about this state. I'm talking about Qiu Changshi. As far as I know, there are many of your relatives who are tyrannical in Youzhou. Do you know them all?" Qin Wenhui said coldly.
"Of course I don't know!" Qiu Zhibin's face changed slightly.
As soon as the words came out of my mouth, I realized that this answer was a disguised admission that my relatives were domineering in Youzhou.
He panicked and was about to explain when he heard Wu Chengsi slowly say: "Since the Qin Governor said it has nothing to do with him, let's continue reading."
"If the lower official takes action, I can be sure to lead him to reveal the person behind it." Ding Xingjian said and glanced at Qin Wenhui again. Seeing his pale face, he secretly snorted: "You will have this day too."
Wu Chengsi said calmly: "Okay."
In the corner of the first floor, the man in gray robe whispered: "Sister Ying, things should not change again. As soon as Liao Shuwu arrives, Qin Wenhui will be finished."
The woman in green said bitterly: "If it weren't for the protection of this traitorous official, Cao Yi's power would not have developed to the extent it is today. Brother Tian, your strategy is indeed effective. To deal with people like Qin Wenhui, you have to use the power of the government.
!”
The man in gray robe said again: "When Liao Shuwu comes later, we will take the opportunity to slip away!"
"Why? I also want to see Qin Wenhui and Cao Yi being dealt with with my own eyes!"
"Qin Wenhui can't escape anymore, but Cao Yi is different. He has always been cunning. He probably already knows what's going on here. As long as there is the slightest sign of trouble, he will definitely flee to Yingzhou!"
"What should we do?"
"Don't worry, when Liao Shuwu arrives later, we will take advantage of the chaos to leave, and then go out of the city to rescue Brother Gao. We will pursue him on the official road leading to Yingzhou, and we will definitely be able to block Cao Yi!"
"Of course I want to rescue my sworn brother, but he is imprisoned in the army and guarded by more than 500 sergeants. How can we possibly rescue him?"
The man in gray robe smiled and said: "Don't worry, I have already thought of a good idea."
…
More than half an hour later, a man in official uniform entered the restaurant. The man was less than thirty, his mouth was tightly pursed, and his expression was very stern.
He only reached the door of the lobby and then stopped, with his hands behind his back and his eyes fixed.
After seeing him, the last few guests in the restaurant also ran away, including the man in gray robe, the woman in green and the man in red belt.
"Yue Ping, it would be nice if you could give me an explanation today. If you can't give it, you don't have to do it anymore." Liao Shuwu didn't look at Yue Baotou when he spoke.
Yue Ping's expression was slightly uneasy. As he was considering his words, a clear voice suddenly came from the stairs: "Liao Lushi, what did you mean by what you said just now? Can you explain it to me?"
Hearing this familiar voice, Liao Shuwu finally turned his head and said with a smile: "I'll tell you where Yue Ping borrowed his courage from. He dared to go against me. It turns out that Ding Sima was backing him up."
Seeing Ding Xingjian appear at the top of the stairs, Zhou Chongchen's heart sank and he thought: "Ding Xingjian, this bastard, has been hiding on the second floor! I asked what happened today, it turned out that he was causing trouble in secret."
This was not the first time he had dealt with Ding Xingjian, so he was not afraid of him.
Ding Xingjian took a few steps forward and said coldly: "Liao Lu, I have seen everything that happened here today. I have just entered the casino incognito. It is illegal to open a casino in the Eight Immortals Tower, but you instructed Qi Zhong to protect you."
What's their reason?"
Liao Shuwu hummed: "Ding Xingjian, I advise you to turn a blind eye to some matters, otherwise you will not be able to secure your position as Sima!"
Ding Xingjian said contemptuously: "You can join the army just because of your little record?"
Liao Shuwu said angrily: "Ding Xingjian, don't pretend to be stupid. Don't say you don't know who is standing behind me!"
On the second floor, Wu Chengsi looked at Qin Wenhui coldly: "Does the governor of Qin have anything to say now?"
Qin Wenhui said in panic: "My subordinates are not strict in discipline, and that's why that brat took advantage of my power to act recklessly. Please appease me and convict him!"
"So you don't know anything about the casino?"
"I really don't know!" Qin Wenhui gritted his teeth and said.
Downstairs, Ding Xingjian sneered and said: "Liao Shuwu, you think too highly of yourself. Do you think your uncle will quarrel with me just for you?"
Liao Shuwu was stunned for a moment, then laughed and said: "Ding Sima, I always thought you were smart before, but now I realize that you are stupid. Everyone in Youzhou officialdom knows about some things, but do you know why no one dares to take care of it?"
Ding Xingjian smiled secretly and said deliberately: "You mean, there is not only the Qin governor behind this incident, but also others?"
Qin Wenhui on the second floor stared at Liao Shuwu's mouth, hoping that he would have some brains and deny his involvement in this matter.
Unexpectedly, Liao Shuwu stretched out his index finger, pointed upward, and said with a proud face: "You are not too stupid. To tell you the truth, there are people above us. Do you know what will happen if you go against us?"
Qin Wenhui's face turned pale and he did not even dare to look at Wu Chengsi's face.
"Who is it?" Ding Xingjian asked.
Liao Shuwu snorted and said, "This is not the place to talk. Let's go back to the Governor's Mansion first and go there to talk if we have anything to say."
"Why are you going to the Governor's Mansion? Let's talk here!" Ding Xingjian said coldly.
"Ding Xingjian, don't be so messy. I've made my words very clear. If you don't listen to me again, I will have to ask my uncle to come over in person!"
Qin Wenhui finally couldn't help but glanced at Wu Chengsi secretly, and happened to meet his eyes.
Wu Chengsi looked at Qin Wenhui and said slowly: "Liao Lu, if you want to invite your uncle, you might as well go to the second floor to invite him."
Liao Shuwu and Zhou Chongchen were both stunned. They didn't expect anyone to dare to stay on the second floor. When they looked up, there was no one at the fence. Liao Shuwu said angrily: "Who is so presumptuous? Get off here!"
"You evil beast! It's you who should get out of here!" An angry voice rose into the sky.
Liao Shuwu was shocked and shouted: "Uncle, is that you? You, why are you here..."
