The sniper who was shot dead was a young man in his early twenties with an ordinary face.
Zeng Xiangfan was shocked and confused when he saw the corpse. Obviously, he had no idea what had happened.
Lu Ming studied the body for a long time before handing it over to the patrolman who arrived after hearing the news.
Zeng Xiangfan had been staying here and was about to leave, but several men in black stopped him and showed their credentials. They were special case handlers from the County Government's Pacification Operations Office.
Zeng Xiangfan, the chief guard of the county magistrate, had no idea that this office existed. However, looking at the official seals on the letters of appointment of several investigators and the signature of Agent Gong, it was obvious that the other party was not an imposter.
Zeng Xiangfan brought several bodyguards with him when he came to Xinzhi Bookstore, but they were nowhere to be seen this time. He could only sneer and follow several men in black onto the sidecar motorcycle.
In the evening, a burst of gunfire was heard from the direction of the police station.
More than an hour later, Lao Gong called and said that brothers Zeng Xiangfan and Zeng Xiangchen had been arrested.
Lu Ming was not surprised by this. Since Old Gong had already taken control of the security company, it would not be difficult to capture the two Zengs.
The guard company had little combat effectiveness and was extremely afraid of the several gangs of bandits in the Black Mountains, like a rat seeing a cat. But it was more than enough to deal with the patrol police in the county town. Not to mention, it was impossible for the police force to be entirely composed of Er Zeng's diehard fans. They would fight against the county office for Er Zeng, as that would be tantamount to rebellion.
So, it is not difficult to catch the two Zengs, but the difficult part is the subsequent handling.
The city government will definitely intervene, and under the influence of the Hu family, will stand on the side of Er Zeng, so Er Zeng's case can only be made into an ironclad case so that no one can say anything.
On the phone, Mr. Gong also said carefully: "Boss, I think this case should be sued by Mo Sheng and Er Zeng."
Mo Sheng? Lu Ming then remembered that he was the son of Mr. Gong and also had a lawyer's license, but the competition in Donghai was too fierce and his lawyer's license was almost revoked, so he went to a neighboring state to develop, and it seemed that he was doing well.
Obviously, Master Gong had already planned to let his son come to Longgang.
My son is just an unknown lawyer now, but if he comes to Longgang, he may be able to make a career.
Mr. Gong added, "I have the illegal materials of Er Zeng in my hands, and I have been discussing them with Mr. Mo on the phone. So, he knows the whole story and will be able to get started quickly."
Lu Ming smiled: "Okay!" Old Gong hoped that he would give his son a chance, and he would certainly not deny him this face. After all, he seldom asked him for anything, and he no longer needed to worry about these small matters, which was a good thing.
"Okay, thank you, boss!" Old Gong was immediately cheered up and said, "Don't worry, boss, I will handle this case beautifully."
After hanging up the phone with Lao Gong, Lu Ming returned to the backyard.
Since she came back the day before yesterday and Madam Liuli could not sleep with her, she had been practicing martial arts behind closed doors except for praying in the morning, afternoon and evening.
However, it saves a lot of trouble.
But unexpectedly, I was woken up by the urgent ringing of the phone late at night.
A phone call came from Sansha Town saying that Lao Chai and several bodyguards and pilgrims were kidnapped.
The call was from Liu Sili, the district director of the district office, and then the extremely ashamed Hei Laoliu Chen Qing took the phone and reported the details of the situation.
It was done by the Whirlwind Horse who had disappeared for a long time. Moreover, one of Chen Qing's confidants betrayed him and cooperated with the outside. Taking advantage of the cover of night, his confidant who was on duty in the detention center led people to take the old jackal and others out of the town, and fled with the waiting Whirlwind Horse.
No serious conflict occurred, and two militia members who were on duty at a post outside the town were merely tied up tightly.
This was the usual style of the Whirlwind Horse, and it had hardly ever caused any casualties. Therefore, after it disappeared, the government was too lazy to pay attention to it.
"Boss, there are dozens of people and horses coming with the Tornado Horse this time..." Shen Qing's voice was filled with shame, "I used to think that the Tornado Horse was just bluffing, and there were only a dozen people at most..."
He was known as a fortune teller, but this time he suffered a huge setback.
Lu Ming smiled and said, "It's good that the people are okay. We can catch the old jackal and the whirlwind horse again!"
After hanging up the phone, Lu Ming shook his head. In this place, the relationships between various forces are complicated and intricate, and often one crisis follows another. It is really a mess.
…
Zuodun Town is more than 100 miles west of Longgang County and more than 100 miles away from Heishan City. It is the only one of the four major coal mines in Longgang that is far away from the county. The other three of the four major coal mines are all near the county and surround the county.
Zuodun Town is also the throat for the western counties of Montenegro to enter and exit Montenegro, and several major transportation lines converge here.
Judging from the population and urban buildings in Zuodun Town, it seems to be more prosperous than Longgang County.
Today, several black cars drove into Zuodun Town, and Lu Ming was sitting in the middle car.
Come to Zuodun Town to deal with the affairs of small shareholders. In addition, by stepping out of Longgang and looking from the outside, you may be able to see the struggle in Longgang more clearly.
Anyway, Lao Chai will not be prosecuted for the time being, Er Zeng has also been arrested, and the bookstore case has become one of Er Zeng's crimes.
Since I feel like an outsider, it's good to take a look at it from the outside.
But when he entered Zuodun Town, he found that there was a three-story commercial building in Zuodun Town. Lu Ming couldn't help but shook his head.
In fact, among the four major coal mines, Zuodun Mine is undoubtedly the best, which is inseparable from its geographical location and the Zuodun family's more than a hundred years of operation here.
The Zuodun family has been plundering here for more than a hundred years, but now the people of Zuodun Town are grateful when they talk about them. This is also because the Zuodun family has indeed contributed to the prosperity of this town, allowing many people in Zuodun Town to see the world and live better than before.
Although everything he did, in the final analysis, was to lay a solid foundation for the family here, making its mining smoother and more efficient.
Lu Ming was thinking randomly as the car slowly stopped in front of a large courtyard. There were swaying green pines and cypresses in the courtyard. There were several buildings, the tallest of which was a four-story building. The sign on the roof read "Cao's Mining" in golden letters. This was the headquarters of Cao's Mining.
"Ah...are we there?" Madam Liuli, who had been clenching her fists, cried out softly. It was her first time riding in a sedan and she actually seemed very nervous.
Along the way, she didn't dare to act coquettishly or silly. Her pretty face was slightly pale, and she sat there stiffly with her fists clenched, as if she was ready to use the magic to ensure her safety at any time.
"Thank you, sir! I have really broadened my horizons today!" A smile finally appeared on Madam Liuli's charming face, and she smiled coquettishly at Lu Ming.
When Lu Ming said he would take her out for a walk, she almost knelt down and kowtowed to thank God for his grace, and she was obviously very happy.
But when getting off the car, Lu Ming couldn't help rolling his eyes.
Qing'e came running over from the car behind. She was a very strong girl, carrying a simple chair that looked like a bamboo basket on her back. Madam Liuli sat on it leisurely and lowered the red curtain.
Although in front of his master, he did not dare to travel like a deity in the past, but he still had to show his presence.
In fact, there were two strong Qing'e. The other one half-knelt in front of Lu Ming, inviting the ancestor to take his seat. Lu Ming waved his hand, indicating that he didn't need it.
As for Xigong, it doesn’t matter. It seems that her feet will hurt if she walks a few more steps.
Although there is no custom of foot binding even for skinny horses in this world, the girls chosen are extremely delicate. Judging from the size of her embroidered shoes, Liuli's feet are indeed very delicate and petite. She has been applying medicine to maintain her feet since she was young. Perhaps, they are really tender and fragile, so her feet hurt when she walks. As for her so-called secret skills of the evil heretics, why do I feel that many of them have some special effects to please men? For example, bone shrinking skills..., including sound transmission, sending delicate voice deep into your eardrum..., so, probably the main theme is not the fighting and killing of Bizhu, and the part that can be used for fighting and killing seems to be the auxiliary effect of Xigong's secret skills.
On the other hand, if the Qing'e guards perform their duties clearly, they will be a force that cannot be underestimated.
Just as he was daydreaming, he heard Liuli's sweet voice: "Master, my spearmanship has improved. Also, I feel like I can crush someone's head with one claw, and I can even fly!"
Lu Ming was too lazy to pay attention to her, thinking to himself, "Just fly away." At this time, Cao Deheng, Cao Jiashun and a group of important company executives came to greet him.
Lu Ming smiled and bowed to them.
