Chapter 19 New Official Takes Office
"Woo woo...it wasn't me who killed my grandfather, it was the bad guys from the Tiger Gang who did it.
You leave quickly, this is the only thing my grandfather left me, if you don’t leave I will report to the police!”
The little girl cried and stared angrily at Zhang Erlang who took her house.
Zhang Erlang smiled coldly and said, "If it wasn't you? If the people from the Tiger Gang hadn't taken a fancy to your body and you hadn't given it to me, how could you have killed my uncle? You are a jinx, how could it not be you who died.
Your uncle raised you with great difficulty, but in the end you killed him. If I were you, I would die immediately to make amends to your uncle.
Report to the police?
Do you think those masters will care about your life or death? It’s good enough that they don’t bully the people in the village, but they care about such trivial matters as yours.
Do you really think that just because they wiped out the Tiger Gang, they would become the great rulers who uphold justice for the people?"
The little girl turned pale. Her cousin next to her couldn't stand it anymore and glared at Zhang Erlang, "You beast, you don't speak human language. Can you blame the little girl for that? You are his second uncle, how can you say such rude words?"
Zhang Erlang looked smug: "If you don't blame him, then blame me?"
"You think it's good enough that we don't bully the people in our hometown?"
Zhang Erlang was feeling proud when he suddenly heard a cold voice coming from the diagonal side. He subconsciously shifted his gaze from the little girl to see who was meddling in his affairs.
As soon as he raised his head, he saw a scabbard in his sight rapidly enlarging and hitting his mouth.
“Ah…”
The severe pain made Zhang Erlang scream like a pig being slaughtered. He reached out to cover it, then spit it out and found that his hand was full of teeth mixed with blood.
He looked up in horror, only to see a handsome young man in yamen uniform standing in front of him. It was the man who knocked out all of his front teeth with a scabbard.
"Brother Wei..."
The girl from the Zhang family shouted with a look of surprise.
"grown ups……"
Zhang Erlang opened his mouth, only to be hit again by the scabbard.
"You have occupied other people's property and tarnished the image of the government. You are so bold. You will be sent to a mine for forced labor after your tongue is cut off."
After hitting Zhang Erlang again and knocking out all the teeth on the other side, Wei Fan felt relieved.
"It's Lord Wei Fanwei!"
"Lord Wei is the most upright officer around here!"
"Zhang Erlang is the one who arrested Yang Jun from the Tiger Gang when he wanted to do something indecent to the girl from the Zhang family."
"You deserve it. Instead of taking care of your niece after your uncle died, you want to occupy the property. You are worse than pigs and dogs."
…
When Wei Fan appeared, he was immediately recognized. The incident of him arresting Yang Jun in the street caused quite a stir in the surrounding area.
"Please spare my life, sir. I just said something out of turn. I definitely didn't mean to slander the government."
Hearing that this was a powerful man who even dared to fight the Tiger Gang, Zhang Erlang became frightened.
Those who were sent to the mines for forced labor basically died of exhaustion and never returned.
He hurriedly knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Wei Fan.
"Go home, little girl. If anyone bullies you again, go to the government office and find me."
After saying this, Wei Fan grabbed Zhang Erlang, who was kneeling on the ground, handcuffed his arms behind his back, and took him away.
"Wow... Thank you, Brother Wei..."
The voice of the girl from the Zhang family sounded from behind. Wei Fan once again helped her when she was in danger, and she burst into tears.
"Please let me go, sir. I won't dare to do it again!"
When Zhang Erlang saw that Wei Fan really took him to the yamen, he was so scared that he trembled all over and begged for mercy again as he walked.
"You beast, if I hadn't chopped you to pieces on the street, you're lucky enough to be sent to a labor camp in a mine. Do you still want me to spare you?"
Wei Fan escorted Zhang Erlang to the yamen quickly.
"What has Lord Wei done wrong that you have to bother arresting him so early in the morning?"
Wei Fan is now at the peak of his career in the East District Yamen. Even the squad leader Luo Wen is not as powerful as him. Seeing him escorting a prisoner early in the morning, many yamen runners couldn't help but gather around him out of curiosity.
Wei Fan said: "This beast occupied the property of my 13-year-old niece and drove her out of her home, forcing her to live on the streets. She wanted to report to the police, but he said that we, the East District yamen runners, only know how to bully the people in the village. Even if we wiped out the Tiger Gang, they were still a bunch of bad people."
As soon as these words were spoken, the eyes of the yamen runners present immediately spit out anger.
Because of this sentence, all the yamen runners were scolded.
No yamen runner thought that he was really bad. Even the likes of Li Shen and Wang Meng felt that they were protecting more people in disguise rather than being truly inhumane.
Moreover, they just worked together to eradicate the Tiger Gang yesterday. Everyone in the East District praised them. Just when everyone felt that they were heroes, someone actually said this about them. Who wouldn't be angry?
"How brave!"
"What a beast! How could you have the heart to bear with my thirteen-year-old niece?"
"Captain Wei, hand him over to me. I will show him what it means to exploit the people in your hometown."
…
In an instant, four or five yamen runners came forward, took Zhang Erlang from Wei Fan, and were ready to give him a good beating.
The guy was so frightened that he almost fainted. He didn't even have the strength to walk and was carried away by two yamen runners.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
Wei Fan no longer cared about Zhang Erlang's affairs, he began to gather his men.
He was originally Li Shen's subordinate, and now that he has taken over Li Shen's people and territory, he doesn't feel unfamiliar with it.
"Why are you here?"
When Wei Fan gathered people, he found that Hu Qing was among them.
Hu Qing said, "You are short of manpower, so the team leader assigned me to you."
Originally, a captain of police had twelve officers under him. After Wei Fan killed Li Shen, Wang Gui and Qiu Ping, he was left with three less men.
Hu Qing is here, but we are still short of two.
Wei Fan planned to ask Luo Wen for the remaining two when he had time.
"If you want to stay here, you must report on time, otherwise I will fire you."
Wei Fan didn't believe Hu Qing's lies about assigning her to him at all. It must have been Hu Qing's request. Luo Wen didn't dare to tell this young lady what to do.
The chief martial arts instructor of the yamen, except that he has no real power, is higher in rank than the captain.
Hu Qing nodded, and Wei Fan said no more.
"Let me say a few words!"
This was his first day in office, and Wei Fan felt he needed to set some rules.
As soon as these words were spoken, the officers below fell silent.
“Everyone used to follow Li Shen and followed his rules, but now that I’m in charge, we have to follow my rules.
My rule is that no matter who commits a crime in my territory, I will arrest him, even if he is the son of a clerk. Anyone who dares to resist will be killed without mercy.
I want my territory to be free of criminals, and even demons shouldn't dare to commit crimes here.
If you encounter someone committing a crime and you do nothing about it, you will have your salary deducted for the first time, and if it happens twice, you will have to go home on your own.
Of course, since these are the rules I set, just go ahead and do it. I will cover everything for you.
If you feel that you can't do it, you can leave now. I will go and talk to the squad leader in person."
After Wei Fan finished speaking, everyone except Zhou Qi and Hu Qing changed their expressions.
Although the East District is not a place like the inner city, there are still many people that the police cannot afford to offend. Wei Fan's rules can easily offend people they cannot afford to offend, and two people immediately left in shame.
"Anyone else wants to leave? This is your last chance!"
Wei Fan didn't care about the two people who left. If he still managed the territory according to Li Shen's previous rules, the guide from the Demon Suppression Division would probably not even look at him when he came.
After saying this, seeing that Wei Fan did not pursue the matter of the person who left earlier, another person left.
All of a sudden, Wei Fan's men were reduced from ten to seven. He didn't expect that he could still keep so many.
"Okay! The fact that you can stay here proves that you have some ambitions in your heart. I won't let you regret not leaving one day. From today on, I will occasionally take time to teach you martial arts.
Now, everyone follow me to the streets.”
