Courtyard House: Why is my time-travel experience so shabby?

Late at night, on the outskirts of the city, on a rocky beach.

In an open space, dozens of unrecognizable corpses were placed side by side. The air was filled with a strong smell of blood, which made people want to vomit.

"Minister Su, the inventory has been completed. 60 boxes have been unloaded from the ship. They contain 68 Type 2400 automatic rifles from Guyana. They are all new rifles that rolled off the production line in February this year."

A capable young man trotted up to Su Li and reported in a solemn voice.

He was Su Li's secretary, named Xiangdong. However, his voice was a little trembling at the moment, his face looked not very good, and his eyes were bloodshot, obviously he had just vomited.

In fact, this is normal. In peacetime, even if one is a former soldier, he would not be able to withstand the purgatory-level bloody scenes concocted by Du Weiguo.

Especially the unique fishy smell formed by brain matter mixed with blood is simply the best remedy for inducing vomiting and it is unbearable.

As for minister, this is Su Li's official identity, Guyana's Minister of Defense and Director General of Police.

"Investigate! Gun number, batch, and person who handled it. Get to the bottom of it. All the people involved in the case at the arsenal must be arrested."

Su Li's face turned pale, the veins on his forehead bulged, and he gave the order in a hateful voice.

"Yes!" Xiangdong responded and turned to leave.

"Xiangdong, immediately send troops to surround the Arsenal's family building. You will lead the team to arrest the suspects overnight. Anyone who dares to resist or obstruct will be killed without mercy."

"Yes!" Su Li's cold voice sounded behind him, and Xiangdong shuddered.

He knew in his heart that in order to maintain the stability and prosperity of Saint Zhidun, Su Li had been implementing a relatively mild and conciliatory policy recently.

However, this time he was really angry and showed his fangs again. It was estimated that there would be a bloody storm in the city soon, and who knew how many people would lose their heads.

Xiangdong led his men away, and Guo Fu slowly approached, her arms folded, her face as cold as frost:

"Master, nearly a thousand kilograms of flour, several thousand new guns, a deal worth millions, someone is trying to poach us right under our noses.

It won’t be long before our bodies are torn apart and sold off. These people deserve to die. No wonder the head is so cruel.”

Su Li pursed his lips and said nothing. The blue veins on his forehead rolled like little snakes, and the anger in his eyes was like a will-o'-the-wisp, as if it wanted to devour everything.

Guo Fu has been with Su Li for a long time and knows his temper very well. She knows that her master is about to explode with anger.

But she was the same. What these guys did was simply twisting her bottom line and tearing her reverse scale.

What she could not accept the most was that this problem was discovered by Du Weiguo.

It took only three short days to expose the false prosperity that she and Su Li had worked so hard to create for nearly two years.

However, now is not the time to dwell on these things. The priority is to resolve this matter as soon as possible and find out who is behind this.

Guo Fu calmed herself down, pointed at Tie Gou who was still unconscious lying on the ground, and suggested:

"Master, this fat guy and the old guy in the warehouse should have been left for us by the boss on purpose. Why don't we call Honey over and find out the whole story?"

"Hu~" After letting out a long breath, Su Li finally spoke.

"Heh~ The witnesses, physical evidence, and clues are all so complete and clear, and I still ask Honey for help. Doesn't that make me a waste?"

His voice was unusually low, like thunder in winter, and it was obvious that he was trying hard to suppress his anger.

Su Li was angry for two main reasons. First, he was angry that Liu Ye and his men were so bold as to trade arms for flour under his nose.

At the same time, he also hated the protector behind Liu Ye, and he had roughly guessed who was causing the trouble.

The second reason was that he was angry about what Du Weiguo had done. This guy started killing people in the city without saying a word, leaving countless heads hanging.

This was a fatal blow to law and order in St. George's.

It is not an exaggeration to say that if this matter is ultimately left unresolved, it will shake the legal foundation of the entire country.

It’s still the same old saying, personal will cannot override the rules, even in one’s own territory.

Even the emperors in ancient times were so powerful that their words could be followed by laws. When someone wanted to kill someone, they had to come up with a reasonable reason.

Otherwise, as long as you have enough ability and power, you can kill people without any scruples, and the world would be in chaos.

Although human society still abides by the primitive law of the jungle, it must eventually be covered with a layer of legal cloak.

Now Su Li finally understood Uncle Jiu's pain and struggle, and he wanted to give up.

"Master, do you have a specific idea? Who is it?" Guo Fu asked anxiously. She didn't have so many ideas and just wanted to get this matter over with as soon as possible.

"Ah~"

Su Li suddenly sighed. He didn't say anything, but took out a cigarette box and lit a cigarette.

He looked helplessly and distantly at the city of Saint Zhidun which was plunged into darkness, then turned to look at Guo Fu who had an anxious face.

He suddenly realized one thing: it might not be so easy to withdraw. Unknowingly, he had been firmly tied to Du Weiguo's grandson.

The city of Saint Zhidun, which he built with great effort, and Guo Fu, who was both a woman and a disciple, were both bargaining chips in his hands.

"Master, why are you suddenly in a daze? Tell me who it is quickly! Don't let him react or run away again!"

Guo Fu didn't understand and shook his arm to urge him.

"You can't run away!" Su Li pulled out his arm and scolded unhappily:

"Guo Fu, can you use your brain? How many people in Saint Georgetown can get new guns from the arsenal?"

Upon hearing this, Guo Fu suddenly calmed down and frowned as she began to think:

"You, me, Hanwen, Jenny, Paris is also OK, and there is also Zhou Changzi and Zhong~~"

Guo Fu's monologue suddenly stopped, she opened her eyes wide, and said in a tone full of disbelief:

"Minister Zhong is also fine. Master, it can't be the Zhong family, right?"

The Minister Zhong she mentioned is named Zhong Zhenjian. He is the Minister of Commerce of Guyana and the nephew of the current President Arthur Zhong.

Zhong Zhenjian is 29 years old this year and just returned from London the year before last. He is a second-generation dandy who only knows how to eat, drink and have fun. He has no talent and is even more incompetent.

It was Su Li who pushed him to the position, as a kind of compensation to the Zhong family.

If history had continued as it had, the Zhong family would have ruled Guyana for a full ten years and become the number one overseas Chinese family.

But now, Su Li and Guo Fu are the real decision-makers in Kuyana, holding almost all financial power, military power, and personnel power, and their words are law. The Zhong family is just a puppet on the surface. In a sense, they are indeed occupying the nest and robbing others of their foundation.

As the "special products" of Guyana, the Type 68 pistols and rifles naturally received some shares in the hands of Minister of Commerce Zhong Zhenjian.

"Ha~ What's impossible?" Su Li sneered:

"Destroying someone's financial resources is like killing their parents, and destroying someone's future is like raping their wife and daughter. We have taken away the foundation of the Zhong family. This is an irreconcilable hatred."

Taking a deep puff of the cigarette and slowly exhaling the smoke, Su Li continued to joke:

"The Zhong family has a very good temper. If it were me, I would have already hired someone to carry a bomb and die with us."

"Why?" Guo Fu still couldn't believe it. Her brows were twisted into a knot, and it seemed like water was about to drip out.

"We treated the Zhong family well. We didn't sideline them. We treated them with all kinds of preferential treatment and took care of them. We would also consult with them when there was something to discuss.

Besides, what did Quiana have before we came? It was very poor, with only a few hundred thousand people, like a primitive tribe. "

"Yeah~"

Su Li nodded, then shook his head and said in a melancholy tone:

"But people are greedy and will always want more. People are selfish and will selectively forget the efforts and contributions of others, and only remember what they have lost."

After a pause, he concluded:

"For example, the Zhong family, they forgot that without us, there would be no Quiana today, and they only remembered that they had lost their power."

Guo Fu nodded, not quite understanding.

"I think I understand. It's just greed. After getting something, I want more and forget how much I am worth."

At this point, she suddenly became a little angry:

"Tsk, they are just daydreaming with their few pieces of trash from the Zhong family. Without the support of the head and us, their family will be wiped out within three days."

"Small people who are lucky enough to ride on the shoulders of giants often get lost, thinking they can stand tall, but they don't know that there is an abyss under their feet and one more step will crush them to pieces."

Su Li flicked away the cigarette butt and made a philosophical comment.

"Master, if it is really the Zhong family behind this, what should we do?"

Guo Fu is an impatient person with linear thinking. She is not in the mood to discuss the profound and obscure philosophy of human nature with Su Li.

"Damn, it's cold!" Su Li spat angrily and cursed:

"That bastard named Du in your family is a complete and lawless bastard. He deliberately left such a mess and let me be the bad guy to clean up his mess~~"

"Master! How can you say that?"

When Guo Fu heard him scolding Du Weiguo, she immediately became angry and interrupted him with a tender shout.

Due to the lack of fatherly love since childhood and an experience that she could not bear to recall, Guo Fu's view on love is distorted, which is commonly known as love brain.

In her heart, Du Weiguo ranks first, he is both a father and a husband, and no one can blame him.

Not to mention that he had a legitimate reason for killing people this time, even if he went crazy and massacred the city for no reason, Guo Fu would obediently help him wipe the knife and load the bullets.

"He didn't kill any innocent people. Don't these drug dealers and the black market brokers who resell arms and attempt to cause chaos in St. George's deserve to die?"

Pointing at the corpse on the ground not far away, Guo Fu asked righteously.

"He deserves to die, but you can't lynch him, do you understand?" Su Li also got angry and growled:

"If everyone follows his example, shouting and drawing swords when seeing injustice, then Saint Georgetown will be in chaos, and what use will laws and regulations be?"

"Master, you are right. If the emperor breaks the law, he will be punished just like the common people. The majesty of the law cannot be challenged, and no one can be above the law."

Guo Fu somewhat unexpectedly agreed with his point of view, and Su Li's anger immediately subsided by a large amount, and his expression visibly improved.

But before he could catch his breath, Guo Fu changed the subject and asked:

"Master, if you were him and encountered what happened tonight, how would you deal with it?"

Su Li replied without hesitation: "Of course, notify us, and then send out the military and police to bring these two groups of people to justice?"

"How to notify? By phone?" Guo Fu continued to ask.

"Uh huh~" Su Li's expression froze.

Without waiting for his answer, Guo Fu continued:

"There were three scenes, nearly ten kilometers apart. Even he had to score three times. He had to attack non-stop to keep these bastards at bay."

"At the last scene, we arrived nearly twenty minutes after the gunshot. Master, do you think they would just wait there stupidly, waiting for you to catch them?"

Pointing to the two sampans that had been dragged ashore and the stranded iron fishing boat, Guo Fu's questions became more and more sharp, like a sword:

"Master, if you were him and you chased him here and found that these damn drug dealers were about to escape by boat, what would you do?"

"Are we going to watch these bastards run away with our rifles just to obey the law?"

Su Li was stumped by the question.

Indeed, if he were in the same situation, he would also draw his gun and rush forward, and would never let Tie Gou and the others get away.

Guo Fu took advantage of the victory and pursued:

"Master, you said the headman was lynching? He is above the law, but as the true master of Quiana, doesn't he also have the power to enforce the law?"

This question was a fatal blow. Su Li was completely stumped. He opened his mouth but couldn't even utter a word of rebuttal.

Yes, Du Weiguo is the uncrowned king of Quiana, how could he not have the power to enforce the law? Although he does not hold any position, he can also hold any position at the same time.

Since they have the power to enforce the law, it is not lynching, but legitimate law enforcement.

With the help of the surging power provided by her love brain, Guo Fu performed beyond her level tonight. Seeing Su Li was stunned, she added:

"Master, you taught me that a blacksmith must be strong himself. If we hadn't made a mistake and raised such an ungrateful person like the Zhong family, how could we have these rotten things tonight?"

"Okay, okay, Guo Fu, you can do it." Su Li laughed in anger and gave her a thumbs up:

"You have graduated. Since you are so powerful now, you will be fully responsible for this matter."

As soon as he finished speaking, Su Li turned around and strode away. This guy was so angry that he quit.

Looking at his back, Guo Fu bit her lip, a cold light flashed in her eyes, and she said to herself:

"I'll take responsibility. I've long found the Zhong family and those native officials annoying. They are greedy and idle.

This is a good opportunity to uproot them. From now on, we, the Sha Shen Clan, will have the final say in Quiana!"

Having said that, Guo Fu suddenly raised her head and looked at the city lying in the night. Something called ambition rose in her eyes.

"Humph! Isn't that woman surnamed Mo known as the Queen of Pattaya? Then I will be the Queen of Saint Georgetown!" (End of this chapter)
