Rebirth: Rising Hong Kong - Chapter 950
Yan Xiong stood by the fountain with whiskey in a trance.
He didn’t know who the “noble person” Chen Zhichao was talking about, but he understood right away, hurriedly ran to inquire about the horse racing situation, and soon learned the news that the “invincible” horse No.
Yan Xiong continued to inquire and soon got the news that the owner of this “invincible” racehorse turned out to be the beloved horse of the famous Justice of the Peace in Hong Kong, the Sir of the British Empire, and the Director of the Prosecution Department, Bailiqu!
“Baili Canal?” Yan Xiong was shocked.
Almost no one in Hong Kong does not know about this ghost Bailiqu, known as “Hong Kong Bao Qingtian”.
To be precise, as a bigwig in Hong Kong’s judicial circle, Bailiqu is definitely a hardline representative.
If nothing else, he was promoted to Senior Deputy Prosecutor last year, second only to the then Chief Prosecutor, Sir Libby. However, Bailiqu and Li Bi’s different attitudes in terms of punishment policy have caused differences between the two.
On the one hand, Li Bi argues that we should follow the trend and adopt a lighter sentence policy for young offenders; on the other hand, Bailiqu believes that a heavy sentence can be used as a deterrent.
In addition, Bailiqu advocated that if the death penalty system is not completely abolished in one day, it should continue to be implemented, and pointed out that if the British government took the initiative to ask the Queen to pardon the death row, it would make the Hong Kong Governor’s situation quite embarrassing.
Although Li Bi once pointed out that the Hong Kong prison system has caused “bitter fruit” and “moral degradation”, and advocated that the court should not impose long-term imprisonment on offenders; but Bailiqu disagreed, believing that imprisonment is not a perfect solution, but It is an important “weapon” of the court.
The differences between the two prompted Li Bi to not preside over any criminal cases during Li Bi’s tenure as the Prosecutor, but was only responsible for hearing civil cases.
In May 1970, Li Bi officially retired, and Bailiqu, who served as his deputy, officially took the position and was canonized as a knight by the British court in recognition of his performance in the judicial field for many years.
So far, Sir Bailiqu can be regarded as the number one in the Hong Kong and British judicial circles, with a high authority! In addition, the current Hong Kong Governor Dai Lingzhi belongs to a new year, and he has already delegated a lot of power, so that the power of Bailiqu is even more powerful than that of the Hong Kong Governor! Since then, Bailiqu has become the object that countless dignitaries want to curry favor with and get acquainted with!
Who is Yan Xiong? After thinking for a while, I figured out the key. At this moment, I can’t think about it anymore, so I directly summoned two of his subordinates, Fighting Jiqiang and Agui, and asked them to make up 500,000 no matter what method they used. He wanted to take a gamble. !
If a number like 500,000 were placed in the past, it would definitely be a pediatrician for Yan Xiong, and he didn’t even bother to look at it. .
But now his Yan Xiong was raided by Lan Gang and Ding Yongqiang. Even his mother had to go back to the rivers and lakes and step on a sewing machine to repair clothes to make up for the family. For him, 500,000 yuan is an astronomical figure now.
Fighting Jiqiang and Agui, as Yan Xiong’s henchmen, were also implicated when Yan Xiong’s house was raided. What’s worse, not only were their homes raided, but they were also put in jail.
[First release on this site, fastest update]
After Yan Xiong met Chen Zhichao, he was promoted by Chen Zhichao to become a detective. Only then did Yan Xiong use his relationship to rescue the two.
At this moment, they received Yan Xiong’s order, and the two were in a complicated mood. Fortunately, they tried their best to finally collect 300,000 – it can be said that this is all their assets! Even some loan sharks!
Seeing this, Yan Xiong didn’t scold Dojiqiang for their unfavorable work, because he also knew how he was doing now.
At this time, the horse race was about to start, and Yan Xiong directly pressed all the 300,000 yuan, and directly bought “Invincible” to win!
Cockfighting Qiang and Agui are nervous. The 300,000 yuan they tried their best to get together. Now, looking at Yan Ye’s sworn appearance, he must have received a horse racing “tip”—-this horse is “invincible” and will definitely win .
Cockfighting Qiang and Agui found a glass of water to drink and looked at the racetrack with hope.
Soon the horse racing started, the jockeys rode the horses galloping, and the scene was thunderous!
Yan Xiong clenched his fists and his expression was extremely nervous!
In just a few minutes, the race is over!
Cockfighting Qiang and Agui are optimistic about the invincible battle, but they did not win, they just ran out of the third place!
Seeing this, Yan Xiong shouted, “Excellent!”
Fighting Jiqiang and Agui just took a sip of the shocking water and almost spit it out. They looked at Yan Xiong and wondered if he was crazy? Losing 300,000, still so happy? !
Yan Xiong was convinced that he was invincible and lost. After losing 300,000 yuan in one go, he was very happy. He even turned around and said to Doji Qiang and Agui, “You did a good job. I’ll invite you to drink tonight!”
Cockfight Qiang and Agui fainted again! Thinking that Yan Xiong is not crazy, he is stupid!
Lost 300,000 in one breath, and keep applauding? !
Not to mention the cockfighting strong and Agui, the tycoons who gambled on horses at the scene were also surprised. After all, horse racing is different from others. Few people will gamble so much, and one bet is 300,000! You must know that 300,000 yuan can at least buy a building in Mong Kok in this era!
Losing a building in one fell swoop made those bigwigs agitated, and couldn’t help pointing at Yan Xiong.
But at this time, Yan Xiong knew very well the meaning of losing the 300,000 yuan!
At first, Yan Xiong also thought that Chen Zhichao left the message “the more you buy, the better”, which meant that the horse would win, so Yan Xiong could buy more to make money.
But after all, Yan Xiong is an old fox who has become a shrewd man. After thinking about it carefully, he realizes that Chen Zhichao will never be so kind and cheap himself! There is no reason to take care of your own fortune!
As soon as he rolled his eyes, he understood the mystery of it. If he lost 300,000 on “Invincible” in one breath, it would definitely become a gimmick at this horse race! It attracted a lot of bigwigs to start talking!
Then it is very likely that this “discussion” will spread to the ears of the horse owner Sir Bailiqu, and there will be a good show to watch.
Just when Yan Xiong speculated, Chen Zhichao reappeared and walked straight to Yan Xiong with a strange smile on his face.
“Chief Inspector Chen…”
Yan Xiong was about to speak, but Chen Zhichao had already said, “You did a great job! I didn’t see the wrong person! Yan Xiong really is Yan Xiong!” Said to Yan Xiong: “The No. 7 Stable of the Racecourse! Go! The noble man is waiting for you!”
Yan Xiong took the cocktail and drank it, and said to Chen Zhichao, “Thank you!” After speaking, he turned and walked towards the racetrack below.
When Chen Zhichao saw Doujiqiang and Agui looking surprised, a strange smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he went up and asked, “How much money did Yan Xiong ask you to put together?”
Fighting Jiqiang and Agui looked at each other, “If we want to collect 500,000, we only get 300,000!”
Chen Zhichao laughed: “Half a million? This Yan Xiong really dares to fight!” After speaking, he turned and walked towards the racetrack.
…
Stables for the racetrack.
Yan Xiong lost 300,000 in one breath, and finally met the legendary Hong Kong judicial tycoon – Baili Qu!
In fact, Sir Bailiqu has always been dissatisfied with corruption in Hong Kong.
In the 1950s, corruption became a common practice in Hong Kong. At that time, the corruption in Hong Kong was especially rampant in the government. Many public officials blatantly embezzled money. More specific examples include firefighters receiving money before turning on the hoses to fight fires, ambulancemen asking for “tea money” before taking patients to the hospital, and patients in the hospital having to “reward” a female worker commonly known as “auntie” before they can get it. Reasonable service, in addition, general public services such as waiting for public housing and applying for admission to government schools also require bribes to the responsible public officials.
Among the government departments, the police force is the most serious corruption. Described as “the best army in the world that money can buy”, although it was awarded the title of “Royal” by the Queen of England in 1969, many police officers who took bribes, especially Chinese police officers, abused their power. , embezzling large sums of wealth and covering up various illegal crimes, which seriously threatens social order and makes many citizens miserable. The corruption case of foreign chief police officer Gerber is only the tip of the iceberg.
As a leader of the judicial department, Bailiqu’s biggest goal after taking office is to fight corruption, especially the corruption within the police force, as his first fire as a new officer!
At this moment, Bailiqu, the legendary ghost gentleman who is more powerful than the current Hong Kong Governor Dai Lingzhi, is wearing a straight gray-black suit, black-rimmed glasses, and an old-fashioned Panax notoginseng. He is leading a horse race.” Invincible” reins, and the other hand feeds it hay.
The jockey who lost just now was sweating profusely explaining: “Sorry Sir, this horse was in good condition before the race, I checked it all! Who knows that there will be an accident in the middle, like its ankle problem appear!”
After Bailiqu finished feeding the forage in his hand, he handed the reins to the jockey: “Why are you so nervous? If you lose the race, you lose, and I don’t blame you! Besides, although I am very optimistic about this horse, I don’t. Think it’s going to win as soon as it hits the field!”
“Eh? Sir, what do you mean by that?”
Bailiqu stroked the horse’s head and said meaningfully: “This horse was transported from our Great Britain. It used to be delicious and delicious in the UK, but here it is unaccustomed to the soil and water, and it has never been better! If it can win, it will be the same. luck!”
After speaking, Bailiqu patted the horse’s head and instructed the jockey, “Go on, horse racing relies not only on skills, but also familiarity with its diet, and even its homesickness!”
“I see, my lord!” The jockey led the horse into the stable.
Here, Chen Zhichao brought Yan Xiong forward: “Lord Sir, I brought people here!”
Bailiqu took the wet towel handed over by the servant next to him and wiped his hands, and then took the jujube cane that he often used, and then slowly looked back at Chen Zhichao and Yan Xiong.
Bailiqu’s eyes moved from Chen Zhichao to Yan Xiong, and his eyes gradually became sharp, as if he could see through a person’s internal organs.
Yan Xiong has dealt with people all his life, and he can say that he has seen everyone, but at this moment, he is a little afraid to look at this ghost. He said in his heart, the rumors are true, this Bailiqu even has the momentum of the Governor of Hong Kong!
Bailiqu’s eyes converged from sharp to gentle, and smiled: “Are you Inspector Yan Xiongyan?”
Yan Xiong rushed forward and bowed: “Hello, I’m Yan Xiong! Nice to meet you, Sir Bailiqu!”
Baili Qu said with a smile: “You should regret it! As soon as you met me, you lost 300,000!”
Yan Xiong hurriedly said: “300,000 can see Sir, it’s worth it!”
“Hahaha!” Bailiqu laughed, then pointed at Yan Xiong and said, “You, you, still can’t get rid of your bad habits! I don’t need to talk about this here, as long as you do things seriously, everything can be said! “
Yan Xiong was overjoyed when he heard the words, knowing that Bailiqu recognized him, he was very excited and said loyally: “Sir, in the future, I will only follow your lead, if you let me go to the side, I will go to the side! I do what, I do what!”
“Is this what you Chinese mean by being loyal? Well, I’m very happy that you can say that! But the world in Hong Kong is too chaotic. You used to be a high-level police force and a leader among Chinese detectives. You should understand this. How rotten! I have never been soft on cancer! So are you willing to make a qualified scalpel?”
Bailiqu put on a lazy attitude again, of course, even so, the domineering in his words was undoubtedly revealed.
Yan Xiong is a person with an active mind. Hearing Bailiqu’s question, he naturally understands what Bailiqu means.
According to Yan Xiong’s understanding, this Sir Bailiqu is jealous of evil, especially the corruption of the police force. Since he dares to reuse Chen Zhichao~www.mtlnovel.com~ and throws an olive branch to himself, he is undoubtedly trying to make himself Make some achievements to show him! To be precise, let him Yan Xiong change from a corrupt person to a whistleblower, even a butcher!
Yan Xiong thought quickly in his mind, but he didn’t dare to neglect his mouth, and said quickly: “I admire you very much, Sir Sir! This time, thanks to you, I, Yan Xiong, is willing to be a pawn, expose all the crimes of the police force, and have a relationship with the police. Corruption and corruption are inexhaustible! Please, Sir, give me a chance, I will not only be a scalpel to cut off the tumor in your hands, but also a new life and reform!”
Bailiqu smiled and looked at Yan Xiong, the chief inspector who expressed his attitude to him impassively.
He is very clear about these corrupt people, what they say is one thing, and another thing they do below!
What to make a new life and become a new person? If you have money, you may forget all of these!
But Bailiqu has no choice now. If he wants to defeat the big tiger Lai Luo, he must use the old fox Yan Xiong and the lone wolf Chen Zhichao!
Dog bites dog, a mouthful of hair!
It is imperative to drive away the wolf!
When these Chinese policemen were defeated, it was he Bailiqu who swept away the smog in Hong Kong, completely suppressed the Chinese police, and let their excellent gentlemen of the British Empire take power again!
Thinking of this, Bailiqu smiled and said: “Very good, I am very satisfied with you! Then please start your work! Since you are very familiar with corruption in the police force, then start from the source! Fighting tigers, will it be possible? ?”
Before Yan Xiong could speak, Chen Zhichao stepped forward and said, “That tiger has already had its teeth pulled out to teach! Inspector Yan and I will definitely live up to the public’s expectations and completely swept his tiger’s den!”
Bailiqu laughed and raised his cane: “I’m looking forward to it, how many tigers can you get?!”
