Pang Qing was only thinking about the profits after taking down Qin Jian, and thought that the sugar-coated bullets he fired had an effect, but he never expected that the other party actually had other motives for relenting today.
Qin Jian took him to the nearby work shed and asked his men to bring pens, inks, paper and inkstones, and asked him to write a contract and clearly state the terms of cooperation.
Pang Qing was a county government clerk, and he was in charge of various clerical affairs. Of course, he was familiar with writing contracts.
However, after Pang Qing picked up the brush, he suddenly paused and did not put pen to paper for a long time. He seemed to be hesitant about the necessity of this contract.
When Qin Jian saw this, he was afraid that he would make the other party suspicious by being too active, so he did not urge him at the moment.
Pang Qing looked at Qin Jian and said, "Director Qin, don't tell other foremen that you and I know this, so as not to cause complications."
Qin Jian knew what he had in mind, nodded and said, "Don't worry, Panda."
Pang Qing has a big job in distributing relief materials, and the joints he wants to open are definitely not limited to Qin Jian. And he thought that he had made huge concessions with Qin Jian. If other foremen knew about this, they would inevitably use it as a standard and require him to make the same concessions. Then he would suffer a big loss.
Pang Qing then took off his guard and quickly wrote a contract. After reading the contents to Qin Jian, he made a copy of it. After preparing to sign and pledge, the two of them each kept a copy.
After Pang Qing finished writing and put down the brush, Qin Jian nodded with satisfaction and said: "Let the ink dry before signing to avoid smudges. Pang Pang has worked hard, have a cup of tea and rest for a while!"
Pang Qing sat down on the chair next to him and was about to exchange a few words with Qin Jian when several strong men suddenly rushed in and pinned the stunned Pang Qing on the chair unable to move.
Then Qu Deren, who had his hands behind his back, walked in calmly, picked up the contract on the table, looked at it, nodded to Qin Jian and said: "With all the witnesses and physical evidence, it's settled now!"
When Pang Qing saw the other party pick up the contract and read it, he knew that Qin Jian had plotted against him. However, he still did not want to believe his situation and shouted: "Who are you? How dare you attack me! Brave maniacs , lawlessness, who knows who owns this city of Nanjing?”
Qu Deren slowly walked up to Pang Qing, took out a pair of handcuffs from his waist, waved them in front of Pang Qing and said, "Do you know what this is? You must have never seen it before. I will teach you to be good today." These are the new handcuffs issued by the Nanjing Police Station, used to arrest criminals! No matter how you are, as long as you are locked by these stainless steel handcuffs, you are a prisoner of the police station!”
When Pang Qing heard that the other party was actually from the newly established police yamen, he immediately lost half of his anger. After the establishment of this yamen, they went crazy arresting people inside and outside the city, and the prisoners they captured were all serious crimes and received severe sentences, half of them were executed and half were exiled. There were almost no lucky ones.
It was obviously not a coincidence that this person from the yamen appeared on the construction site, but a trap was set for Pang Qing to take the bait. If he still wants to escape, the only condition he can use is probably his official position.
Pang Qing said in an almost pleading tone: "Dear gentlemen, there is a misunderstanding, it is a misunderstanding! I am Pang Qing from the Civil Affairs Yamen and an official of the imperial court. Don't listen to the false accusations of this unruly man named Qin!"
"Misunderstanding?" Qu Deren sneered: "The confession is written in black and white by you yourself. What is the misunderstanding?"
Pang Qing rolled his eyes and said, "This guy surnamed Qin wanted to drag me into trouble and negotiate with me to embezzle the relief food. I was just temporarily confused and deceived by him, so I wrote this thing. I can't take it seriously!"
< br>
Qin Jian laughed when he heard that he still wanted to put the blame on herself: "Man Pangda, you said it was me who dragged you into this? Fortunately, I was prepared and opened a case at the police station in advance. You want to protest?" Sue me, do you have any evidence?" Pang Qing was counting on Qin Jian to sign this contract so that he could have a handle on the other party. Now that there is no evidence to sue the other party, he could only place his hope of escape on this group of people again. Send someone to you.
"Dear gentlemen, please let me go first and let me ask acquaintances from the police station to handle this matter. If you can't trust me, you should be able to trust your own people, right?"
Qu Deren smiled and said: "Really? Then tell me first, who is your acquaintance? If it is a big shot in this yamen, then I can consider it as appropriate."
Qu Deren wanted to see who in the police yamen was secretly colluding with Pang Qing. If Pang Qing dared to name him, he would have his own means to verify the authenticity.
Pang Qing seemed to feel a glimmer of life and quickly said: "Master Shi from the police station..."
Qu Deren quickly interrupted him: "You should think it over carefully before speaking. The crime of grabbing and biting will be increased by one sentence!"
Pang Qing shuddered and quickly changed his words: "I only have a one-time relationship with Master Shi Shi, but I am still very familiar with Master Qu. As long as I write a letter, Master Qu will definitely vouch for me."
How could an official of Pang Qing's level establish friendship with Shi Chengwu? He originally wanted to use his name to scare people, but Qu Deren's warning made him realize the risks of this approach. If Shi Chengwu When Wu learns about this, his end will only be worse.
But Pang Qing used to work in the Liyang County Government under Yingtian Mansion, and of course he knew that Qu Deren was the head catcher of Yingtian Mansion. Now Qu Deren has become a benchmark figure in the Ming Dynasty who switched to Haihan, and he and Qu Deren have similar origins and similar experiences. , which seemed to him to be a life-saving straw.
Since he can switch to Haihan, it means that Qu Deren is not a firm person. If you can deal with these policemen first, it would be a feasible solution to immediately visit Qu Deren in person and spend some money to ask him to come forward to eliminate the disaster.
Objectively speaking, Pang Qing was quite clever to come up with such an idea at this urgent moment. The only problem was that he didn't know Qu Deren at all, otherwise he wouldn't have spoken nonsense in front of him.
After listening to this, Qu Deren and Qin Jian both looked at each other and smiled. The laughter made Pang Qing's heart go crazy and he didn't understand what he said was wrong.
Qu Deren actually had the patience to continue teasing him: "Whose name is Master Qu you are talking about?"
Pang Qing braced himself and replied: "Of course the person I am talking about is the deputy director of the police station, Mr. Qu Derenqu!"
Qu Deren nodded and said: "Okay, since you have this relationship, then..."
Pang Qing's eyes lit up, thinking that things had turned around, but unexpectedly Qu Deren changed the subject and said: "...Then let Mr. Qu personally try your case to avoid unjust, false and wrongful convictions."
Before Pang Qing came back to his senses, Qu Deren waved his hand and said: "Take Pang Pang back to the Yamen, and take him into custody. Don't miss a hair!"
Several of Qu Deren's men suppressed their laughter, responded in unison, lifted Pang Qing from the chair, twisted his arms, and escorted him out.
