Xia Pingan put down his teacup and sat up a little straighter. His expression was that of a "surprised friend". "Director Li, why do you say that? I'm confused!"
"That day, when Lord Xia brought people to the Huang Estate to arrest the culprit, I shouldn't have listened to slanderous words and set up a roadblock to intercept Lord Xia's subordinates and carriages. I was wrong. I ask that Lord Xia let me go on account of the fact that we are half colleagues …" Li Chaoming struggled to finish these words, his forehead overflowing with sweat.
In the past few days, Li Chaoming had also struggled to find other ways to solve the problem, but in the end, he realized that with Xia Pingan's character and strength, if he didn't lower his head and continued to be in a deadlock with Xia Xia Pingan, he would only end up dead.
Right now, Xia Pingan was only seizing Jinming Trading Company, and he had already grasped his weakness. He could blow things up at any time. If this matter was not resolved, it would be good. If it was resolved satisfactorily, when Xia Pingan took another step forward and his position was higher, the enmity he had with Xia Pingan today might become a noose around his neck in the future.
In the officialdom of Shangjing, if you offended someone you shouldn't offend, it was not shameful to lower your head and admit your mistake. As for the harsh words, they were just for himself. In front of the inspector of the Judgment Army, it was not his turn to be harsh as a police chief. Although the positions of both sides seemed similar, one was a summoner and the other was a policeman. The difference was huge …
Seeing that Li Chaoming had admitted his mistake, Xia Pingan didn't beat around the bush with Li Chaoming anymore. He said directly, "Okay, since you admit your mistake and know where you are wrong, I won't force you into a dead end. I'll give you a chance. My style is to take revenge. I'm clear about gratitude and resentment. I'm never vague!"
"Thank you for your magnanimity, sir …" Li Chaoming raised his head and wiped the cold sweat on his forehead.
Your brother-in-law will stay in my cell for three months. I won't let him suffer. After three months, I'll find a reason to release him. The matter of Jinming Trading Company will be over. I won't pursue it anymore. In the future, Jinming Trading Company can continue to do business in Donggang District. You can continue to make money. How about it? "
Li Chaoming's liver was trembling, and the fat on both sides of his cheeks was even more gray. Those hundreds of thousands of gold coins' worth of goods and money were gone just like that. Even for him, those goods and money were a big number, not a small number. However, he also knew that if he didn't bleed and satisfy Xia Pingan, he wouldn't be able to get through it just by relying on his mouth.
He wouldn't say that the Inspection Bureau was framing him........ Since he fell into the other party's hands, he had to admit it....................
"It's just a small amount of money. I'll deal with it according to your instructions!"
"Jinming Trading Company's matter is over. There's one more thing I need your help with." Xia Pingan smiled more gently.
"Please tell me, sir!"
"You should know Inspector Yao Youchang, right?"
They didn't just know each other. When they met at the table and drank too much, they almost called each other brothers. On the ground of Jinyang District, their palms could cover half the sky. That day, Inspector Yao Youchang of Jinyang District also blocked Xia Pingan.
Li Chaoming glanced at Xia Pingan. He didn't know why, but his heart trembled. He could only grit his teeth and nodded, "I know him!"
"Very familiar?"
Li Chaoming continued to nod, "Very familiar!"
"Then it's easy!" Xia Pingan chuckled, "He was also one of the people who stopped me that day. Yao Youchang even went to the Legal Supervision Department to sue me. He and I don't like each other, so this enmity has been formed. I want to deal with him now, but I can't get hold of his weakness for the time being. Give me an idea on how to deal with Yao Youchang!"
"Sir, this … this is the matter of the Inspection Bureau. I'm just a small police chief of Jinyang District. I can't intervene. I don't have the ability …" Li Chaoming looked at Xia Pingan. He forced a smile and almost cried.
Xia Pingan's face suddenly turned cold. He calmly looked at Li Chaoming, his eyes slightly gloomy, "Oh, is that so? Then I won't make things difficult for you. You can go. I won't see you off! " After saying that, Xia Pingan picked up the teacup, lowered his head, and gently blew on the water. He no longer looked at Li Chaoming.
Li Chaoming stood up stiffly. He forced a smile and nodded, "Sir, then I'm leaving …"
"Take care. Don't take a wrong step. The ground and stairs of the Inspection Bureau are very flat. It's brightly lit everywhere. There are no potholes, so you won't fall. Be careful when you walk outside. Don't fall into a ditch!"
Li Chaoming took two steps back. He then walked to the door stiffly and carefully. Although his back was facing Xia Pingan, Li Chaoming could still feel Xia Pingan's sharp gaze on his back.
This was what it meant to have a sharp gaze on one's back.
When his hand was about to touch the brass doorknob, Li Chaoming suddenly quivered. At this moment, he felt that what he was about to open was not the door of Xia Pingan's office, but the gate of the Gates of Hell …
Li Chaoming suddenly turned around with a smile on his face, "Sir, I just remembered that Yao Youchang is indeed a b * stard. Not only did he abuse his power in Jinming District, but he also did many dirty things. I've long disliked him. If sir wants to punish him, I'll be the first one to agree!"
Xia Pingan smiled again as he waved his hand at Li Chaoming, "That's right. That's what a good … good boy. Come, come, sit over here and talk!" Xia Pingan almost said 'good comrade'. Fortunately, he stopped himself.
Li Chaoming sat back on the chair as he had already thrown caution to the wind. The moment he sat down, he started to spill all the dirty things that he knew about Yao Youchang.
Xia Pingan just listened while touching his chin. Not until Li Chaoming finished did he open his mouth, "Yao Youchang is indeed a b * stard. I've not imagined that he could be so lawless in Jinyang District. Tell me, if I want to punish him, what's the most effective way? It's best to punish him so that he can no longer stay in the position of the inspector of Jinyang District!"
Li Chaoming lowered his head and pondered for a short while. After that, he raised his eyes with a ferocious look, "Sir, Yao Youchang's most dangerous thing is actually women. He likes women and would do anything for women. Additionally, he's extremely audacious. As long as we start from this aspect, we'll definitely be able to bring him down and vent your anger for you …"
"Oh, that's right. I heard you say that he often meets with married women in restaurants …"
"Yes, I know that some of the women that Yao Youchang meets with have extraordinary identities. They're the family members of the imperial city guards. The crime of adultery is not a small crime in the Judgement Army and the Shang Dynasty. It's enough to make him lose his official position or even go to jail …"
"Since you're so familiar with Jinyang District and it's your territory, it's not convenient for us to go there. Therefore, I'll leave this matter to you. Is there any problem?"
Li Chaoming trembled all over. However, at this moment, he could only grit his teeth and do it, "Don't worry, sir. No problem!"
"You're willing to do this. I didn't force you, did I?"
"No, no, I'm willing to do it …"
"How long will it take?"
"Five days. Give me five days. I'll definitely get it done …"
"Okay, I'll wait for your good news. Don't let me down!"
"This … There's something I need to tell you first. I'll go out later. In order not to arouse suspicion, I may have to scold you a few times in the police station. Please don't blame me …"
"Scold me as much as you want. Am I that kind of petty person?" Xia Pingan said seriously.
If you're not, then who is!
Li Chaoming kept these words in his heart and didn't dare to say it out loud. He even showed a considerate smile.
…
When Li Chaoming walked out of the door of the Inspection Department, the wind outside blew and he felt that he was soaked. He felt that someone was looking at him from behind. Li Chaoming turned his head and saw Xia Pingan standing at the window of the office upstairs. Half of his body was exposed as he silently watched him walk out of the door of the Inspection Department.
Seeing Li Chaoming turn around, Xia Pingan picked up his teacup and took a sip of tea. He smiled at Li Chaoming.
In Li Chaoming's eyes, it was the smile of the devil.
Li Chaoming forced a smile and got into the carriage outside. He almost collapsed.
A person like Xia Pingan was too terrifying. He would do anything by hook or by crook. He must have taken some medicine before to go against him.
Now, Xia Pingan gave him two choices. Li Chaoming could only choose the path of 'die a friend'.
The first thing Li Chaoming did when he returned to the Jinyang District Police Station was to scold Xia Pingan in his office. He scolded for half an hour until everyone in the police station knew that Xia Pingan had arrested the bureau chief's brother-in-law and sealed up his business. When the bureau chief went to see Xia Pingan, Xia Pingan was arrogant and domineering. He didn't give the bureau chief any face. The bureau chief and Inspector Xia were like fire and water.
…
After dealing with another matter, Xia Pingan was in a good mood.
He sat on the armchair and had just finished drinking the cup of tea when there was a knock on the door.
"Come in!"
Wei Meiyu walked in gracefully and handed a form to Xia Pingan. "Sir, this is the account after the warehouse of Jinming Business was sealed up and the goods in the warehouse were sold and confiscated. Please have a look, sir!"
Xia Pingan glanced at it. The total income and bank assets of Jinming Business were about 480,000 gold coins. After 80% of the income was handed over to the government and 80% of the income was deposited into the account of the Ruling Army, about 92800 gold coins would be returned to the Supervision Department as a case bonus. According to the rules, this money was the official extra income and bonus of the Supervision Department.
No wonder the people in the Supervision Department were so happy today. It turned out that everyone in the Supervision Department would have a share of the bonus.
More than 90,000 gold coins was a huge sum. He would have 30% of it, and the remaining 64960 gold coins would be divided among the others. Everyone would have a big income.
Wei Meiyu was asked to come in. Situ Hua and a few other team members were poking their heads out to see how they would divide the money.
The members of the Supervision Department's sixth team and the gatekeeper, Luo Laoji, would share 90% of the 64960 gold coins. The remaining 10% would be divided among the non-summoner members in the Supervision Department. The smallest share would be more than 300 gold coins.
Xia Pingan signed the document and asked Wei Meiyu to take out the distribution plan and distribute it together with this month's salary. In the future, it would be distributed according to this plan.
Soon, the whole Supervision Department was filled with cheers …
Everyone understood that this was only the income of Jinming Business. The smuggling case was the real meat. It was just that the case had not been settled yet. After it was settled, everyone would get a bigger share.
This kind of envoy inspector was simply like a money giver. If they followed him, they would be able to make a fortune …
