Ding Yi returned to his small courtyard.

The previous owner of the courtyard suffered from madness and killed a family of three before setting fire to himself. The courtyard also fell into disuse. Two years ago, Ding Yi bought the courtyard for 120 taels and renovated it.

, which is quite unique. The yard is covered with vines, and there is a grape trellis in the center. Ding Yi is sitting under it, thinking about the case.

The yard is not big, but for Ding Yi, who grew up in a ghost house and lived a life of eating and drinking, it is quite good. But Ding Yi is not only satisfied with this, he has a greater revenge.

, there are more thoughts, this yard, this red-shirted police officer's position, to Ding Yi, is just a scenery on the long road.

Zhuge Xianyu not only had to do the case assigned to him, but he also had to do it well. Since entering the six gates, he has taken every step carefully. If he is not careful, he will fall into a place of eternal destruction. In the capital

, there were too many people who wanted to kill him, and Xu Jiuye was one of them. If he hadn't had the status of Gongmen, he would have been hunted down by his enemies.

He took a bowl of porridge and reviewed today's investigation.

The arrival of an unexpected guest disrupted his thoughts.

"Excuse me, is Captain Ding here?"

"Who are you?"

Ding Yi looked at the visitor. A scholar-like man with a mustache stood at the door. He cupped his hands and said, "I am Yu Zhengdao. I am an aide in Qian's Prince Consort's Mansion. Two years ago, we were at Prince Consort Qian's Mansion.

I’ve seen it.”

Ding Yi had a vague impression.

At that time, he had just entered the public service and wanted to be promoted to a red-robed catcher. He had no connections in the capital. I heard that there was a wealthy consort in the capital who loved money. As long as he was willing to spend money, he could help people get things done.

After moving here and there, he borrowed five hundred taels of silver and went to visit Qian's consort, hoping to find some connections. However, his five hundred taels were indeed a bit shabby for those who frequently gave away tens of thousands of taels of silver.

In the concierge, he waited from morning to evening, asking for a cup of hot tea, but was ridiculed by the concierge, "You only have five hundred taels of silver, and you still want to see the prince-in-law? Mr. Li, who just left, gave us servants money for tea.

More than five hundred taels."

This incident also completely made Ding Yi realize the reality.

From then on, he changed his style of being careful not to offend others, became ruthless in his work, and used extraordinary methods. He gradually gained a foothold in Liumen. Although his methods in Liumen were criticized, they were highly efficient and won a lot of praise.

His boss liked him, and he became the youngest head catcher in red.

"What do you want from me?"

Master Yu said: "I heard that Capt. Ding is investigating the case of Xia Yuhe and her son. The victims of this case are relatives of Prince Consort Qian. Since the murderer has been brought to justice, Prince Consort Qian doesn't want to make too much publicity. Please let me tell you not to interfere in this case.

case."

Ding Yiyi: "Is this an order?"

Master Yu chuckled, "No, it's a favor. As long as you are willing to let go, Qian's consort will owe you a favor, and he will definitely repay it in the future. You also know that the consort is quite powerful in the capital, as long as you are willing to help.

, the benefits of Ding Baotou will be indispensable in the future."

Ding Yidao: "I am a six-door police officer, and it is my duty to investigate cases. What's more, this time my colleague is involved in it, Ding is even more responsible. I am afraid that I will disappoint the prince-in-law."

Master Yu said, "Don't refuse in a hurry."

He took out a banknote from his pocket and placed it on the table in front of Ding Yi.

A full thirty thousand taels.

Ding Yiyi said, "It's only thirty thousand taels, and you want to bribe me?"

Master Yu shook his head and said: "No, the Prince Consort knows that you are an extraordinary person with ambitions, and you are not someone who is willing to be inferior to others. But this is the case in the capital. Everything depends on money. If you want to achieve something, use money.

There is also a lot of space, this money is just a small gift, just to make a friend."

Ding Yi looked at the banknote and fell into deep thought.

Thirty thousand taels of silver, based on Ding Yi's current salary, is only seven or eight taels a month. Even if he doesn't eat or drink, it will take him three hundred years to save enough. As long as he is willing to nod, such a large sum of money will fall into his hands.

In his pocket, he was from a humble background and attached great importance to money. For a moment, he was indeed tempted.

However, this thought only lasted for a moment.

He returned the banknote, "I'm afraid I'll disappoint the Prince Consort."

When Master Yu saw this, he was not angry at all. He smiled and said, "I know you don't have this ambition, but as long as you are willing to help me, you will become friends with the Prince Consort. In the future, the position of chief catcher of the six sects will only be

Sooner or later, you also know what the princess is capable of in the capital."

Compared with thirty thousand silver, this is a naked temptation.

Ding Yi hesitated again.

Master Yu was not in a hurry and waited quietly for his answer.

Money, power, and sex are the three unavoidable desires in life. Before coming, Master Yu did a survey and found that Ding Yi was not interested in women and did not care much about money, but he was interested in power and career.

He had an extremely urgent idea, and it was precisely after seeing this that Master Yu extended this olive branch.

He worked beside the Prince Consort, met countless people, and saw the struggles of countless people in pursuit of power, and he was even more familiar with Ding Yi's eyes.

However, to his surprise, Ding Yi refused.

The reason is even more puzzling.

"Your proposal is very tempting, but I have my own bottom line."

"What's the bottom line for Capt. Ding?"

Ding Daodao: "Let's talk about the matter. Although I want to get a higher position, I will never betray my colleagues."

Seeing the inducement, Master Yu couldn't help it, and his face immediately darkened, "Things are not as simple as you think. Do you know that once you refuse, a storm will be set off in the court?"

Ding Daodao: "It was originally a very simple thing, but you made it complicated. If there is a storm, then let the storm come more violently!"

Ding Yi said this, and he also thought so. The current capital city is full of undercurrents, but it is still a pool of stagnant water. If he cannot set off a storm, he, Ding Yi, will never be able to make a difference. Only when the wind and clouds come together, people with lofty ideals can ride the wind and waves.

These are the rules of the game in this world.

…

Early the next morning, Ding Yi and Niu Dafu went to Sihetang.

Niu Dafu was puzzled, "Sihetang is the largest gang in Beijing, and there are countless ruthless people in it. When I was a child, I saw people from Sihetang fighting for territory. Those people killed people in the street, and they were lawless. What did you use?

Is there any way to persuade Sihetang to give up its territory?"

Ding Yidao: "Use your mouth."

"I don't understand."

Ding Yidao: "Then learn from it, read more and talk less."

As the largest gang in Beijing, Sihetang almost monopolizes the casinos and underground banks in the capital. Due to some reasons related to Cui Wentian, it did not get involved in the hugely profitable brothel industry. Sihetang's chief helm is located in the south of the city.

It's not eye-catching when you go up there, but people who have lived in the capital for a long time know not to walk through here unless necessary. Even the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division rarely sets foot here on weekdays.

Cui Wentian, the leader of Sihetang, started his career from the underground treasure bureau. With the help of a group of green-skinned thugs, he gradually grew bigger and established Sihetang. He also spent a lot of money to win over a group of martial arts masters from the Jianghu, and integrated some of the three religions and nine streams in the capital.

, gradually becoming the second largest force after Ghost Tower.

Ding Yi met Cui Wentian and said straight to the point: "I'll borrow a piece of land from you, north of the moat and east of Xisi Hutong."

Cui Wentian did not express his position, but his subordinates laughed.

This is the most prosperous business district in the capital, with hundreds of merchants, as well as West Market, Liulichang, etc. More importantly, Mingyue Gambling and Silver Hook Gambling, among the four major gambling houses in the capital, are all located in this area.

, the income brought to Sihetang in a year is hundreds of thousands of taels, and Ding Yi, a policeman in red, wants to ask for it at the first word.

The master of Sanxiangtang said: "Our Sihetang and Liumenjing are not in conflict with each other. We have always been in peace with each other. Even if you always come to arrest your relatives, you will never dare to say such things. Your boy is suffering from loss."

I'm going crazy."

Seeing Ding Yi's calm expression, Cui Wentian signaled his subordinates to shut up and wait quietly for Ding to write.

Ding Yi added, "The deadline is three months, and the reward is that the territory controlled by the entire Ghost Tower will all belong to you Sihetang."

Everyone couldn't help laughing again. If Ding Yi said something crazy just now, he is simply a fool for what he said just now. Guilou and Sihetang almost control the underground world in the capital, and Guilou's power is even more distant.

Above the Sihetang, over the years, the Sihetang has tried its best to win over experts, but it can barely protect itself. Competing with the Ghost Tower is nothing more than hurling an egg against a stone.

The leader of Sanxiang Hall said: "Ding Baotou, you were born in the Ghost Tower, so you naturally know the strength of the Ghost Tower. Not to mention Xu Jiuye, the four King Kong under their command, as well as dozens of people from the Red Star Hall, are all

The top killers in the world, even if we invite people from the Eight Sects and Chunfeng Yeyu Tower, we may not be sure of victory. What's more, if you betrayed Gui Lou, if you didn't have the identity of the Six Sects, you would have been dead in the wilderness.

, to be so shameless in talking about it.”

Cui Wentian asked, "How to do it?"

Ding Yi took out a document from his arms, handed it over, and said calmly: "In two months, the imperial court will rectify the Jianghu forces in the capital. After all, this matter will be implemented by the Jianghu Division. This is the detailed plan.

"

"You are just a red-robed catcher from the Anti-Theft Department."

Ding Yidao: "He is also the next Jianghu Si Tisi."

Cui Wentian said: "We have to study this matter and give me a few days to think about it."

"I don't have that much time." Ding Yiyi said, "The plan is in your hands. You have to understand that I only need to change a few places. When the time comes, it will be your Sihetang that will be annexed, not the ghost building. The ghost and I

Although Lou has grudges, there are no eternal enemies in the face of interests."

Cui Wentian picked up the document and read it word for word.

"I promise you."

Ding Yi smiled and extended his hand, "Happy cooperation!"

When the two came out, Niu Dafu asked curiously, "What's written on it? Why did the Sihe Hall Master agree so readily?"

Ding Yidao: "The Six Gates have always been responsible for supervising the rules of various sects in the Jianghu. Over the years, the imperial court has really benefited from the implementation of the Jianghu New Deal. However, since the Chief Catcher's accident happened, the second phase of the Jianghu New Deal has not been implemented.
