Unparalleled Double Harmony

Chapter 452: Reinforcements Arrive by Mistaken Arrival

"You...you guys...are you serious? Zhizhi...do you know how big a sin it is to pretend to be a father-in-law?" Jin Yu felt guilty and stuttered when he spoke.

After all, he was just a local bully with limited knowledge. It was ok for him to bully ordinary people in collusion with the county magistrate on weekdays, but if he really messed with some martial arts masters or court officials, his life would be in danger.

But people like him are better than ordinary people in one respect, that is, they have no moral or dignity burden... Take the present situation for example, looking at his cowardly state and speed, you can tell that he is ready to kneel down at any time after confirming the other party's identity.

What happened this morning is also an example. Even a coastal defense officer like General Fan could make him retreat a little, which fully demonstrates that this man has thoroughly understood the eight words "bully the good and fear the evil" and "be soft and fear the hard".

"Hehe... I was just joking with you, don't be so panicked." Sun Yixie was very satisfied with Jin Yu's instantly confused reaction. He smiled and immediately jumped back and forth again, overturning his "eunuch" identity again.

"It's just bragging, why take it so seriously?" Huang Donglai also chimed in, adding, "Besides, you were the first to say that we were eunuchs. If there is any crime of fabricating rumors and impersonating others, it was you who started it. The most we can do is to agree with you."

Once these words were spoken, Jin Yu's way of continuing to argue about this matter was blocked.

As for Jin Yu, when he heard that these two were not eunuchs, but were just teasing him by admitting that they were eunuchs, and that they had really scared him half to death, he immediately became even more angry and flew into a rage: "Humph! You two boys, I saw that you were not good people during the day, and you played tricks on your Grandpa Jin? Today I will let you know how powerful I am!"

After saying that, he turned around and shouted to the dozen or so men behind him: "Brothers! Capture these thieves for me!"

At this moment, Jin Yu had obviously given up the idea of ​​waiting for the other party to enter the inn and then attack from behind - anyway, the dozen of them had been discovered by the other party, so he might as well just attack directly; as for the stolen goods that had just been placed in the other party's guest room, it would be the same to have someone take them out later. When he arrived at the government office, he could say that he saw the other party hiding the stolen goods first and then blocked the other party on the street.

After the roar, Jin Yu's men were determined to fight back. More than a dozen of them rolled up their sleeves and some even took out the ropes they had prepared in advance... ready to rush forward and start a beating.

This group of people are actually a bunch of evil villains who are not involved in any kind of theft, robbery, kidnapping and fraud. The reason they work as servants in Jin Yu's mansion is not only because birds of a feather flock together, but also because Jin Yu intentionally recruited them. After all, the immoral things he planned would not be done by anyone with a conscience.

"Wow, you come prepared. The ropes are even ready." At this time, Hu Wenzhi, who had not spoken for a long time, couldn't help but complain when he saw the other party's scene.

As for Sun Yixie and Huang Donglai, they didn't say anything at this time. They just stood there with a sneer, waiting to beat someone up.

During the day, when they were chatting with General Fan at the market entrance, they had already heard the latter talk about some of Jin Yu's personality, but they did not expect that Jin Yu would ambush here that night to attempt revenge.

It seems that the "maggot attached to the bones" has come to our doorstep and must be eliminated.

However, just when Jin Yu's gang rushed out of the alley, surrounded Sun, Huang, and Hu, and were about to start fighting...

"What are you doing? Stop it!" Suddenly, another shout came from the other end of the street.

The source of the shouting was also a large group of people, holding lanterns, torches, and pine sticks, and jogging towards here.

Just by listening to the footsteps, one could tell that the people coming were all carrying weapons. And when they arrived at the entrance of the alley, everyone looked back and saw what they had expected - they were wearing big hats and green clothes, they were either yamen runners or soldiers.

"Hey! Captain Liu! You've come at the perfect time!" Jin Yu's reaction was still very quick this time. As soon as he saw who was coming under the firelight, he immediately changed his expression and shouted, "We were just about to arrest these 'big thieves Cao Le' and hand them over to the government. Now that you're here, they can't escape even if they have wings!"

He had to be the first to say this, because it was a sentence that "characterized" the current situation, and he had to take advantage of this "preconceived idea" no matter what.

Of course, whether the other party will fall for his trick... is another matter.

The captain of the police who led the team was named Liu Li, an ordinary man.

You say he is a good person? That's not the case. He took all the benefits and profits he deserved on a daily basis. When the county magistrate did something bad, he was the executor and he never showed any mercy.

But you say he is that bad? That's not the case. He tried his best to do what was required of him within the scope of his duties. As long as the county magistrate did not ask him to take sides, he would generally handle cases impartially.

The most important thing is that Captain Liu is not like Jin Yu, who would bully ordinary people for the sake of making money or simply to be a masochist. Captain Liu would at most not refuse the benefits given to him by others... As long as it does not harm his own interests, he can be considered a qualified law and order defender.

Constables like this are the majority in the Dachun Dynasty. They do neither more nor less... they just want to make themselves live more comfortably and with a clear conscience under the premise of "not doing anything wrong".

They cannot be too good or too kind, because although this will make people respect and love you, it will also make you lose your deterrent power over the people and make some people become more and more aggressive towards you.

But they will not be too evil or too greedy, because they also know how greedy they can be given their abilities and positions. They are also afraid that if they go too far, someone will seek revenge on them and fight them to the death.

"What? You said 'Cao Le'?" With the arrival of Constable Liu, the fight was temporarily suspended. He pushed aside several of Jin Yu's men and walked into the crowd. He first looked at Jin Yu, then turned around and looked at Sun, Huang, and Hu. "You mean... these three people are Cao Le?"

"Yes, yes! It's absolutely true!" Jin Yu was even more excited. "I just saw them hide the stolen goods in the room of the inn! If you don't believe me, go in and search!"

Ladies and gentlemen, what he said actually sounds ridiculous and very suspicious.

But Jin Yu thought that Captain Liu responded to his words to "give him face" and was ready to collude with him to deal with these three outsiders, so he was so unscrupulous.

"Hmm..." After a second, Captain Liu groaned, turned to Shuang Xie and Hu Wenzhi, and asked, "Is what Mr. Jin said true?"

Upon hearing this, Sun and Huang looked at each other, then looked at Lao Hu... The three of them were all veterans, and after hearing Jin Yu's nonsense, how could they not guess what was going on?

However, things have come to this point, and saying anything more may not change the status quo, so after a few seconds, Huang Donglai said: "I am Huang Donglai, nice to meet Captain Liu..." He greeted him in a neither humble nor arrogant manner, and then said, "To be honest, the three of us have been drinking and having fun in Xinghui Tower since the hour of Xu tonight. We just returned to the inn, and before we even entered the door, we were surrounded by Mr. Jin and a dozen big men. We thought he was going to rob us..."

"Hey! You..." Jin Yu wanted to interrupt when he heard this.

"Huh?" But Captain Liu immediately turned around and glared at him, using his power to suppress Jin Yu's sophistry that was about to come out of his mouth.

Huang Donglai chuckled upon seeing this, and continued, "Regarding what Mr. Jin said, the three of us are also confused... But if Captain Liu wants to search our guest rooms as he said, we are definitely willing to cooperate. After all, we have a clear conscience and nothing to hide..."

When he said this, Jin Yu did not interrupt him again, but Sun Yixie hummed heavily beside him.

Huang Donglai knew that this was Brother Sun reminding him that "there are still some shameful things in our luggage", but to be honest, they didn't have much chance to deal with them under the current circumstances, so it didn't matter whether Brother Sun reminded him or not.

"Of course, if we do find anything, we will follow you back to the yamen to investigate the matter." Huang Donglai glanced at Sun Yixie and then said to Captain Liu, "I think with Captain Liu's wisdom and bravery, he will definitely make his own judgment on this matter and will not listen to anyone's words and do something rash..."

In fact, his words have already made the whole thing clear. The general meaning is - "It is obvious that Jin Yu wants to frame us tonight, but we also understand that under this situation, it is difficult for you, the local head of the police, to side with us. So if you can understand what I am saying and see the situation clearly... then we will all understand that you should search, and after the search, you should be polite to us, and we will also be polite to you and go back with you, so that everyone will not hurt each other. But if you don't understand what I say, or you are 'reckless' under Jin Yu's instigation... then don't blame us for not being polite."

So...after hearing this, did Captain Liu understand what Huang Donglai meant?

In fact, it didn’t matter whether he understood it or not, because when he heard the three words “Xinghui Building”, his butt had already tilted towards Huang Donglai and the others.

Think about it, how could it be such a coincidence? In the dead of night, Shuang Xie and his men had just met Jin Yu's men, and before they had even exchanged a few words, a team of officials happened to pass by and took control of the scene?
It was obvious that Captain Liu was called by the Youjia Gang from the very beginning.

When the spies of Youjia Gang saw Jin Yu's men sneaking into the inn, didn't they immediately send a letter to inform Ding Buzhu using a flying arrow? And the time when Ding Buzhu received the letter was just after Sun, Huang and Hu left Xinghui Tower and before they returned to the inn.

In that letter, the spies had not yet figured out the other party's identity, and Ding Buzhu didn't know that the intruder was Jin Yu's man, so he was not sure about the other party's martial arts, whether he would kill innocent people or threaten the lives of his valuable gang members.

In this situation, Ding's idea was to send a team of police officers to the scene of the incident in a high-profile manner to "stir up trouble" and serve as a delaying tactic.

If the other party was just an ordinary thief, he might be scared away directly; even if the other party came to settle a vendetta, he would be more or less cautious after being frightened like this, so they would have to observe further and act accordingly.

Some people may ask, is this Captain Liu also a member of the Youjia Gang? How come he is always available? Why do you come when I ask you to bring a team?
Well, isn't it true that if someone asks you to come, you have to come...

Although Captain Liu was indeed not a member of the Youjia Gang, as a local captain, he must have had some dealings with the Youjia Gang.

In the past, when there were cases that he couldn't solve, as long as he went to Youjiabang, the other party would definitely help him find out the whole story without any hesitation. All kinds of information, evidence and even criminals would be directly delivered to him, and in the end they would only charge him a very low price.

Also, during the holidays, the county magistrate's family receives a lot of gifts. So, don't the families of you, Captain Liu, and those fellow constables need a little warmth?
For the Youjia Gang, this is a piece of cake and a well-deserved favor from Boss Ding to the local grassroots law enforcement officers.

Well...when you have problems, I will try my best to help you within my ability. When I have problems, you must help me, right?
Therefore, when the Youjia Gang is in need, they can easily "call on" the local constables and detectives, and it is not uncommon for them to be available at any time.

Moreover, Captain Liu had not slept tonight, because the wealthy family that was robbed by Jin Yu had reported the case to the police overnight. So around midnight, when he had just finished inspecting the scene and was about to pack up, he was approached by the Youjia Gang, who asked him to bring people to the inn to take a look...

As a result, he saw two groups of people about to fight, so he rushed over and controlled the situation.

After Huang Donglai finished speaking, Captain Liu thought about these words, Jin Yu's words and actions, the scene he had inspected before, and the fact that Youjia Gang had called him here...

It can be said that he now understands the situation better than Huang Donglai imagined.

At this moment, Captain Liu has basically deduced that it was the "maggot attached to the bones" who was causing trouble again tonight. He brought some people to pretend to be Cao Le to commit robbery, and then came here to frame others.

Moreover, Captain Liu misjudged because of Huang Donglai's words "the three of us just came back from Xinghui Building": these three people who were framed were most likely the ones that Boss Ding wanted to protect, otherwise why would the people from the Jiajia Gang call me here in such a hurry?

Under such a series of coincidences, Captain Liu not only made a judgment, but also made a final calculation in his mind...

Who are you, Jin Yu? You are just a local bully who bullies the good and fears the bad. You usually think you have a good relationship with the county magistrate. In fact, no one takes you seriously. They only treat you as a toy because of the money. It is because the current county magistrate is greedy that you have become more and more rampant in recent years.

What kind of person is Boss Ding from the Youjia Gang? Not to mention that he is going to protect a few people today, even if he asked the county magistrate to kneel down before these three people, the county magistrate would not dare to say no.

If I were asked to choose a side in this situation, could I be wrong?

Ha... Jin Yu, ah Jin Yu, I'm afraid your good days are over tonight. This is a good show, and I, Liu Li, will accompany you to the end tonight!
