"It's just that if this happens, our dental shop will lose a lot of money." He Guirong was slightly worried, "Australians are not as good as Ming Dynasty, so it won't be that easy to settle this matter."
Since Australians came to the city, they have taken "security" very seriously, and even trivial cases are dealt with very seriously. They are even more merciless when it comes to major cases such as murder, arson, and robbery. Australians will never hesitate to hire someone to commit murder.
.Once involved, it will be a huge lawsuit. It is not as easy to get through as it was under the Ming Dynasty in the past.
Mr. Shi was very confident: "Are you afraid of spending money at this time? Think about it carefully, the rice merchants are trying to drain the salary from under the cauldron. They are extremely vicious. How can you make a living if you don't have toothbrushes? I'm afraid it won't take a few years.
You have to go to Guandi Temple to register!"
These words touched the dental dealers, and some of them gritted their teeth and said: "Master Shi is right! Without the dental post, we men will have no choice but to drink from the northwest wind! If you litigate, you will litigate, that is, selling your house, your land, your wife."
, we have to get rid of these Chaoshan guys and buy back the toothpaste!"
He Guirong was also moved and said: "Master is right, this is a moment of life and death for us men. Are you afraid of spending money? Just do it!"
After he said this, no one had any objections, and they immediately decided to find the Guandi Temple troops and kill the grain merchants in the Haiyang Guild Hall immediately.
The streets are full of beggars under the Guandi Temple, but after all, this is a matter that is against the king's laws. There is no way that the employer can come to the door to talk about it - as usual, there has to be an intermediary to guide the way.
It was easy for Master Shi to find the right person. It was his brother, Master Shidi, the steward of Wenlan Academy - he himself was named Shi Tiji.
Although their names are auspicious, the brothers who passed the exam were really weak in the imperial examination and did not even pass the examination. They are quite capable of doing evil things, so they are all regarded as masters. Naturally, their kind of masters cannot be promoted.
The person who invited them was not a serious businessman or gentleman.
Because of his relationship with Dongweng, Shi Tidi had close contact with the people of Guandi Temple. From Guandi Temple to the big bones at the entrances below, he could almost recognize and talk to them. Shi Tidi and every time he went to Guandi Temple
When people do dirty work, their brothers are the liaisons.
He came to Wenlan Academy, found Shi Tidi, closed the door and quietly revealed his purpose.
"...This is a good opportunity. My master said that money is not an issue." Shi Jiji said with greed in his eyes, "Brother, feel free to make an offer boldly!"
Shi Tidi had long been resentful towards the Australians in his heart because the "partial shop" in the store under the name of Wenlan Academy was demolished last time, causing him to lose a sum of bribes from various shopkeepers. Now that he is talking about this matter
, he couldn't help but feel refreshed. Not only was this easy, but the risk was low. Killing and injuring several businessmen from other places was really not a big deal in the city of Guangzhou.
"It's easy," Shi Tidi agreed, "but there are a lot of Chaoshan people in the guild hall recently, so more people need to go."
"It doesn't matter. I can use as many people as I want. Are you afraid that my master won't spend the money?" Shi Tiji said with a smile, "A serious grain merchant, that is, twelve or three people. There are at most two in the guild hall.
Thirty people, maybe."
"Then it will take at least a hundred people to calm down the situation. The Chaoshan guys are also very good at fighting." Shi Tidi said, "One person always needs to be paid two taels of silver."
The price he proposed was based on the payment of two hundred taels of silver per person for one hundred people, a total of two hundred taels of silver, and a "thank you gift" of ten taels for Dagu.
"The thank you gift from Da Gu cannot be less. As for the two hundred taels of silver, don't give it in full. Give Dou Kou one hundred and twenty taels. How Da Gu distributes the money is their business."
"The remaining eighty taels are the benefits of our brothers." Shi Ti said.
His eyes shone brightly and he said: "Forty taels per person is such a huge fortune!"
When they work as masters, their regular income is only seventy or eighty taels a year. Adding in the miscellaneous "grey income", it is only one hundred taels of silver. The income of forty taels at a time is really a windfall.
"Haha, this is small money. The big money is still to come." Shi Tidi said leisurely, "Since your master wants to be ruthless, he will naturally have to kill a few businessmen and the government officials. It is not the Ming Dynasty now. You
Do you know what the Australian rules are?"
The historical question makes me hesitate: In the past, as long as a human life was involved in such a case, the government would pursue the case. The employer must be prepared for a lawsuit. The prisoners were prepared at the mouth, and they were all meat that could withstand the punishment.
As usual, the prisoner surrenders himself, and then goes to court for interrogation. The prisoner will not confess the truth when he goes to court, and the presiding officer will not actually solve the case. However, the full set of interrogation, interrogation, and torture procedures are still numerous.
The employer needs to take care of himself before going to court, so although the prisoner who comes forward for trial will suffer some physical pain, he will not be injured. The confessions are all prepared in advance, and the case is closed after the final withdrawal. If he needs to die, he will be prepared to die.
Put people into prison.
This set requires a lot of money. Not only does it have to be taken care of on the official side, but also the master of punishment, the clerk of the punishment room, the head of the soap class, the yamen, and even the local cards and armors all have to be taken care of. If there is any place that is not taken care of,
He can also cause trouble to his employer during court proceedings.
Nowadays, Guangzhou is under the control of the Ming Dynasty. Everyone says that the Australians' trial methods are different from those of the Ming Dynasty - no one knows why they are different. The most important thing is that they were originally closely connected and had three teams and six rooms that specialized in handling such matters.
The leader was captured and killed, and the subordinate staff who were left to work for the Australians were also tightening their tails. It seemed difficult to do this again for a while.
"No matter what the rules are for Australians, it has always been the law of the land to kill people and pay for their lives." Shi Jiji said, "I think the Australians are no exception. After the incident is over, it is always right for us to prepare a few dead people to surrender." He said worriedly, "
I'm just worried that if the Australians don't trust them enough to surrender, it would be terrible if they were tortured. Now there's no one in the government office to take care of them!"
Shi Tiidi nodded: "What my brother said is absolutely true. However, I heard people who have been to Qiongzhou say that Australians never use punishment when questioning a case in court. As long as a few surrenders insist that they did it, it will probably be fine -
―In the final analysis, the government examines cases firstly to assess performance, and secondly to deal with the perpetrators. As long as someone pays with his life, the case will be forgotten, and it probably won't be investigated too carefully."
Historical topics and discussions with brothers, regarding the attack on Haiyang Guild Hall, at least two lives must be prepared.
"Let's calculate the width and calculate that three people will die." Shi Jiji said, "Prepare three lives. One life is sixty taels, three lives is one hundred and eighty taels. Let's get another twenty taels in it...
"
"I don't think your plan is working." Shi Tiidi shook his head and said, "After the Australians entered the city, the law was strict. Look at how many criminals were hanged on gallows in various places in the city! More than a hundred of us besieged the Haiyang Guild Hall.
, according to Australians, it is a big case. I think three lives are not enough."
"How much do we need to prepare?" Shi Qiji asked.
"I think we need to prepare twelve items."
The historical title took a breath of air, twelve lives were enough to pay for a rural fighting case!
"Don't be too young. The Australians practice legalist politics and talk about killing decisively. They have not been in the city for a long time and they are serious about killing people to establish their power. If you don't prepare a few more heads, I'm afraid they won't be able to get through."
"Brother, this is thousands of taels of silver!"
"Your master is about to go bankrupt. What's the point of spending these thousands of taels of silver?" Shi Tidi sneered, "Tell your master to prepare a thousand taels of silver to buy lives. I'll buy him twelve lives."
, I guarantee that nothing will happen to him. Let us brothers also make some money to spend."
Shi Tiji thought for a while, gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, I'm in charge of this matter, I'll do it as you say!"
The Haiyang Guild Hall was full of joy at this time. The Chaoshan grain merchants already knew about the Australians' refusal to issue a "license" to the dental shop. They had heard that Australians were the most trustworthy in dealing with things, but they did not expect that they could act so resolutely.
The things promised to them were done immediately. Not issuing a "license" was tantamount to directly abolishing the privileges of the dental shop. The dental dealers could not get the "license" from the Australians. They only had dental certificates from the Ministry of Household Affairs of the Ming Dynasty - in Guangzhou
The city is just a piece of waste paper - it can never regain its prestige.
"We have been oppressed by this tooth dealer for many years, and today we are finally proud and proud!" Shopkeeper Ding couldn't help but be overjoyed when he heard the news. He ordered several banquets, invited his companions, and invited fellow villagers in the guild hall to have a banquet and celebrate together.
Although the stewards of the guild hall are not grain merchants, they are all fellows from Haiyang. Chaoshan people value hometown friendship the most. When fellow villagers get benefits, the leader of the guild is naturally happy. I also sit down and have a few drinks.
The manager was a middle-aged man who had previously been a businessman. He knew the hardships of being a businessman. After drinking a few drinks, he sighed: "Australians are really different! Such a thing would have been easy to do in the past if there were not thousands of dollars to pave the way."
Even if you want to hear the truth from Guan'er, you won't be able to do it! I didn't expect Mr. Lin to settle this matter just after meeting you - it's really like a dream!"
He Gao continued: "We originally planned that as long as this matter could be handled, our dozen or so grain merchants would be willing to scrape together five thousand taels of silver. Unexpectedly, we didn't spend a penny. If we tell it, people will just treat it as such.
We are talking nonsense." He couldn't help but laugh.
The steward said: "Even so, I think you have to show something."
Shopkeeper Ding nodded repeatedly: "Of course! You can't let people do things in vain. Besides, Mr. Lin is in the second mansion of Guangzhou City, so we have to be tight-lipped. It will not be easy to do anything in the future after we have established a friendship!"
He Gao said: "This is a bit difficult. When it comes to gifting treasures, Australians are known to be rich. What kind of overseas treasures are there? I don't know how to get into their eyes?"
"I think it's best to give money as a gift. No matter how rich you are, you won't find it too much money." A businessman said.
A group of people at the table were talking when they suddenly heard a commotion in front of them. (~^~)
