Article 25 Prohibition of Gambling (1)

  "Old Zhao, Old Zhao!"

  "What's up?" Zhao Guocong, who was shrinking in the rattan chair, recalled his thoughts and asked as much as possible to suppress the discomfort in his heart.

  Look far ahead but also keep your feet on the ground, everything still has to start from things around you.

  "Ah, there's something I want to report to you." The person who came was Wang Zhongguang, the head of the neighborhood watch.

  "What's up? Is Director Liao not around?" Today was Liao Changsheng's shift, and Zhao Guotang went straight to the station after getting off the bus, too lazy to go home.

  "Haha, Director Liao usually doesn't get involved in these things, so I'll have to discuss it with Brother Zhao and see if he's interested." Wang Zhongguang's eyes flickered slightly, piquing Zhao Guodong's interest.

  "What's up?"

  Someone came to report that there was a gathering of gamblers at the tea house near the vegetable market tonight. Wang Zhongguang rubbed his hands and smiled, "Director Liao is getting old and can't stay up late, it's just right that you're here, everyone wants to ask for your opinion."

  Zhao Guodong knew the rules of the police station, and for cases like Huang's gambling case, they usually fined as the main punishment. After confiscating and handing over the money to the finance department, it would be fully returned to the public security bureau to make up for the lack of case handling fees in the bureau. The bureau would then return 30% to 80% of the amount to the unit that handled the case.

  Like the county bureau's criminal police team and security team, the return rate is 30%, while the urban area's police station and two suburban stations have a return rate of 50%. Rural areas generally have a return rate of 80%. This part of the returned expenses can be proposed as a clue fee and overtime pay for those who provide clues and handle cases to improve their enthusiasm.

  "Is it worth it?"

  "I heard it's a group of butchers and a few brick bosses." Wang Zhongguang said with a smile, "If they were small, how dare they come to trouble Brother Zhao?"

  Zhao Guoding's victory over Zheng Erlai at Da Guan Kou had already spread among the village guards, and those who had previously been neutral towards Zhao Guoding immediately began to show respect for him. Although Zheng Erlai was not a significant figure, he was precisely the kind of person that villagers disliked the most.

  "Hmm, where is the specific location?" Zhao Guotang nodded.

  The police station has eight joint defense teams, plus one for cooking and cleaning. The joint defense fees collected from the towns by the district workers' committee are far from enough, so the rest is all supplemented by the station's own efforts in these aspects.

  Qiu Yuanfeng also intentionally or unintentionally mentioned to Zhao Guotang that if the opportunity is right, he should also make a move for Sulao, and Zhao Guotang remembered it in his heart, but didn't know why Liao Changsheng wasn't very interested in this matter.

  "There were two doors at the Xu family teahouse by the riverbank, with the back door leading to a small alley and the front door having someone keeping watch." Wang Zhongguang was overjoyed when Zhao Guotao agreed, this time he had put in a lot of thought into the hanging line, if Zhao wasn't there and Liao didn't show interest it would be a true waste.

  "What are they playing?" Zhao Guotang asked casually.

  "Ride an old horse."

  Old Horse is a way of gambling with playing cards, five cards, three cards add up to form points or ten points, it counts as a joke, the remaining two cards add up to count as points, exceeding ten points minus ten points to calculate the remaining points, and if exactly ten points, then it counts as a horse, the banker can eat all with this hand.

  Zhao Guodong also played this way, but it was all just for fun.

  "How old?"

  "Not very clear, but it seems not small, these guys all have two in the bag, after drinking and having nothing to do, they like to play this, I've been arranging for people to hang out for a long time." Wang Zhongguang rubbed his hands, apparently somewhat excited.

  Wearing a duty belt, and after greeting Liao Changsheng, Zhao Guotang began his first nighttime action at the dispatched police station.

  The weather is still okay, but mosquitoes are starting to multiply. The streets of Jiangmiao Town are already empty at night, with only occasional barking of dogs. This is the difference. In Anshan urban area, nightlife has just begun at this time.

  Wang Zhongguang led Zhao Guotai and his men along the riverbank street, slowing down only when they were about to leave Jiangmiaochang Town.

  "It's just there, with some lights on, Xu Family Teahouse."

  "Go and take a look first." Zhao Guotang nodded and waved his hand, according to the plan, several guards suddenly dispersed, two went to the back door, and the rest followed Zhao Guotang, "Listen to my command, don't move rashly."

  "Don't worry, Zhao Ge, we've been through this many times before." Wang Zhongguang said with a flattering smile.

  Zhao Guodong carefully observed the light leaking from the door seam, eight people, one of whom should be the teahouse owner, and several others were in high spirits. The teahouse owner occasionally walked to the edge of the door and took a peek, apparently still very vigilant.

  "Fifty, Laozi is pressing fifty sets of Guan! Qiu Sanwa, dare you follow and press Guan?"

  "What's there to be afraid of? Just fight, follow me!"

  "Come on, come on, the money is right here, if you have the ability, come and take it." A burly fellow was complacently putting his foot on a bamboo chair, making the chair shake and creak with a cracking sound, as if it would collapse at any moment. "Han Xin counting his troops, more is better."

  "Lu Lao Da, don't be too arrogant! The front win is just paper, but the back win is real money!"

  "Ma Pingwa, today you can't turn back, no matter how much more you put in, it's all a waste!"

  "Dong dong dong!"

  "Who?" The teahouse owner asked impatiently while he was in high spirits.

  "I am He San."

  "What's wrong? Are you also going to go and get yourself killed?" The teahouse owner walked over absent-mindedly, opened the door, and was still reviewing the fierce battle on the scene. "Lu is in good spirits today, I advise you not to go and get yourself killed."

  "Don't worry, the momentum is shifting back and forth, maybe when I go up, the momentum will shift to my side." Wang Zhongguang was quite skilled with his words, pretending to be someone else could fool some people.

  As soon as the teahouse owner opened the door, Zhao Guotang took a step forward and pushed the owner aside, taking two steps in one stride to rush inside, with several other militiamen following closely behind.

  "Don't move! It's the police station!"

  "Everyone sit down!"

  The teahouse was suddenly thrown into chaos, with two people turning over and running towards the back door. The two guards standing at the back door rushed in on cue, pinning down the two would-be escapees.

  Moreover, Lu Lao Da also jumped onto the windowsill, wanting to jump down to the riverbank from there. However, he was blocked by Zhao Guo Dong who stood in front of the window and grabbed his arm with one hand. With a light lift, Lu Lao Da was tossed onto the table, crying out in pain "Ahh yahh ahh yahh". "Are you tired of living?! Come down! Do you think you can escape from me?!"

  Zhao Guodong's move stunned everyone, and no one dared to make another move.

  Lao Da is such a big guy, but he was actually lifted up by Zhao Guo with just one hand, and he kept yelling "ahh" nonstop. This isn't something that ordinary people can do.

  Zhao Guoding's sharp eyes swept across everyone, and when they were in a mess just now, the corner of his eye had already caught two guards quietly putting the scattered money on the ground into their own pockets, but he didn't say anything.

  "Everyone take out the money on your body and register it, everyone is the same!" Zhao Guotang's words were laced with meaning, he said in a deep voice, "The ones picked up from the ground will also be put on the table, registered together! Don't play tricks in front of me!"
