Chapter 17: Protecting the Kindest Constable Chu

The next day!

"My lord, this is bad."

Chu Ning was practicing martial arts in the police station when some people came running over.

"Wang Daniu lost money at Linglong Casino in the county town. The beast had no money to gamble, so he borrowed twenty taels from the casino and lost it all. The people from Linglong Casino came to the door and wanted to take Wang Daniu's daughter away to pay off the debt."

"Take me to see it."

Chu Ning frowned. It was a common understanding in this world that a son should pay for his father's debts. If Wang Daniu really owed the gambling house twenty taels and had no money to pay it back, then as a constable he had no reason to stop him.

Of course, he could stop it if he wanted, as long as his fist was bigger than the one in the gambling house.

When Chu Ning arrived at the door of Wang Daniu's house, he saw three young men sitting in Wang Daniu's yard with their legs crossed.

Wang Daniu had run away a long time ago, and his wife took their daughter to her parents' home. These three young men didn't know where Wang Daniu's father-in-law's house was, but they were obviously not in a hurry. As the monk can run away, the temple cannot. As long as they stay here, Wang Daniu's family will show up sooner or later.

"What are you all doing here? Go away."

Chu Ning first dispersed the people surrounding Wang Daniu's gate, and then stepped into the gate and closed it behind him.

When the three young men saw Chu Ning in uniform, they were stunned at first and their expressions became a little nervous.

"Wang Daniu owes us money, and it is only natural for us to collect the debt. Even the police station can't do anything about it." The young man in the lead said in a timid manner.

Chu Ning smiled and said, "Of course, I'm not here to care about Wang Daniu's affairs. I'm here to discuss something with the three of you."

"What's up?"

"Wang Daniu's daughter is pretty. Last time I talked to Wang Daniu and asked her to give her daughter to me as a concubine, but she actually refused."

When the leading Qingpi heard this, he immediately understood what Chu Ning meant.

"Do you mean to force Wang Daniu to marry his daughter to you as a concubine?" The leader of the gangsters hesitated for a moment and said, "I, Li San, am not an ungrateful person. If you have this idea, just give us fifteen taels of silver. After all, Wang Daniu borrowed ten taels of silver from me, and the other five taels are interest."

"You can make the decision on this matter. Will the gambling house agree?"

"Your Excellency, you may not know that we are not from Linglong Casino. We just cooperate with the casino to set off cannons in the casino, but we have to pay an entrance fee to the casino every month."

Chu Ning narrowed his eyes. He originally wanted to give these thugs twenty taels to get rid of them, using the excuse that he liked Wang Daniu's daughter. He just didn't want these thugs to be tricked by Wang Daniu into going to the gambling house afterwards.

He knew the nature of the people in the casino very well. Once they set their sights on someone, they would not stop until they squeezed the person to bankruptcy and even sold his wife and daughter.

He had paid back his own money and said that he would take Wang Daniu's daughter as a concubine. If the gambling house continued to cheat Wang Daniu, it would be equivalent to making things difficult for him. He was a constable, and the gambling house had to consider whether to confront the police station.

Of course, Chu Ning stepped in to solve the problem, but the money still had to fall on Wang Daniu. He planned to sell the Wang family's stall to other merchants in the town at about the same price.

Now it seems that these three people are just code-spinners in the gambling house, and are not members of the Sanzhu Gang behind Linglong Casino. This gives Chu Ning a new idea.

"Brother, let's go. I'll treat the three brothers to a drink."

Chu Ning took the three Li brothers away from Wang Daniu's house to the police station, asked a restaurant in the town to deliver food, and started eating and drinking in the backyard.

Li San was a code-spinner, in fact, just a low-level gangster. He had never been treated to a banquet by a constable. When Chu Ning toasted him with one glass, he would often get so excited that he would drink three glasses in a row, and soon all three of them were drunk.

After getting drunk, in order to show off their abilities, the three of them poured out everything they had ever done.

"Brother Chu, if there is a girl in this town that you like but you don't want to force her, just tell me. I will trick the man into going to the gambling house and make him lose everything. He will be in debt. Then you can use the IOU to force the girl to go with you. If you don't want to force her, you can ask us to act out a scene and let us play the hero and save the girl. Then the girl will throw herself into your arms."

"Oh, so it seems that Third Brother is very familiar with this?"

"Haha, I don't have any other skills, but I've done this at least twenty times. There were also several rich boys who liked the girls, but the girls didn't want to be with them. In the end, they asked me to help them, and I easily got them."

"Third brother is very talented."

…

…

After having a good meal and a drink, the three Li brothers took the fifteen taels of silver given by Chu Ning, walked out of the police station in two steps, and prepared to return to the county town.

"What are you looking at? Brother Chu is kind and paid back the money to Wang Daniu. I will give him face today, otherwise I will take Wang Daniu's daughter away."

Although he was a little drunk, Li San thought about Brother Chu saying that he had taken a fancy to Wang Daniu's daughter, so naturally as a brother he had to give her a push.

Yes, in Li San's heart, Chu Ning is already his brother.

The common people who were watching outside the police station were frightened and scattered after being glared at by Li San. The kind-hearted common people least wanted to mess with these ruffians.

But at the same time they also got the news they wanted.

Wang Daniu’s problem has been solved, and the money was given by Lord Chu.

Lord Chu is truly the best constable they have ever seen.

Kind!

…

…

Half an hour later, the three figures had disappeared from the town entrance.

A dark shadow climbed over the back wall of the police station.

"Third brother, I never thought that one day we would be able to sit down and eat with the constables."

"I've told you that if you follow Third Brother, you'll be able to make it sooner or later. This is nothing. We can even sit down with the captain to eat in the future."

"Third brother, why is there a hot wind blowing?"

"My eyes are so hot!"

"Who, which bastard attacked me?"

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

After a few breaths, the sound stopped abruptly.

Chu Ning, with his face masked, looked at the bodies of Li San and the other two on the ground. He would either not take action, or leave no one alive if he did.

Moreover, based on the things that Li San said at the dinner table, in Chu Ning's mind, he was already sentenced to death.

Chu Ning had made up his mind on how to deal with the bodies of the three men. Holding Li San's body in one hand and the bodies of the other two Qingpi in the other, Chu Ning walked through the woods nearby and then climbed over the back wall back to the police station.

The police station had a boiler. The previous constable was quite romantic and liked to brew his own wine. This made it convenient for Chu Ning, who threw the bodies of Li San and the other two directly into the boiler and then lit it to burn.

The most complete way to make a person disappear is not to bury him or abandon his body in the wilderness. Many movies and TV shows have told Chu Ning that many big shots got into trouble because their bodies were dug out and discovered many years later.

Only when it is reduced to ashes and scattered, can it be considered truly and completely disappeared.

…

…

Li Yunshu has been in a bad mood recently. Does he have to report the death of several code repeaters to me, the gang leader?

"Boss, the money those guys used to lend money was borrowed from our gambling house. Now that they are missing, we can't get the money back."

"Do those bastards have elderly people or children at home?"

“Old people have it, but children don’t.”

"Then go find the old man and pay him back. Treat them the same way they treat those who borrowed money from them. Do I need to teach you?"

After scolding the men in charge of the gambling house, Li Yunshu finally felt better. The deputy gang leader waited until Li Yunshu finished scolding before asking, "How did Li San and the others disappear?"

"Li San and his gang set a trap for a gambler in Xiafeng Town, making him owe money. Then Li San took his men to Xiafeng Town to collect the money. I sent people to Xiafeng Town to inquire, and they said the gambler had no money. It was the Xiafeng Town constable who gave him the money and treated him to a meal. After the meal, Li San and his men left Xiafeng Town and disappeared."

"A constable gives money?" The deputy gang leader was puzzled.

"Li San and his gang are best at forcing women of good character into prostitution, and they often work with some rich young men to set traps. It is said that the gambler has a pretty daughter. Maybe the detective found Li San and his gang and did it..."

The person in charge of the gambling house didn't need to explain it too clearly, Li Yunshu and the deputy gang leader understood it.

"Go down and deal with it."

The deputy gang leader asked the gambling house's men to retreat and looked at Li Yunshu: "Brother, this is really weird. The four people Liu Wei who died some time ago also have some relationship with Xiafeng Town."

Li Yunshu asked, "What's going on?"

"I asked a few gang members who were close to Liu Wei, and they said that a few days before Liu Wei got into trouble, he was talking about going to Xiafeng Town to plant a flag and establish a branch church, and then something happened."

"Could it be a coincidence? Xiafeng Town is so poor, which gang would be interested in it?"

Li Yunshu still had some doubts, because Xiafeng Town was a small town that even the small gangs looked down upon. Would anyone kill Liu Wei for this? "Maybe I'm overthinking it, but the current Xiafeng Town is a little different from before."

"Why is it different?"

“There are more merchants.”
