Chapter 176: Catching Gambling

The matter of Peng Kehong reporting Zeng Xianglin was a very big blow to Zeng Xianglin. Zeng Xianglin had always treated Peng Kehong as a good friend before, but who knew that he would play such a dirty trick behind his back to compete for a Deputy Director of the Party and Government Office?

This really lived up to a saying in Shangjun County: calling you brother to your face, but touching a weapon behind your back. This kind of person was too terrible.

Zeng Xianglin had no hope of progress, and he didn't want Peng Kehong to succeed. So he went to Chen Hongfu and said that his matter was reported by Peng Kehong to the county. This kind of person was too terrible, so he asked Chen Hongfu not to promote him.

In fact, Chen Hongfu was already suspecting that this matter was reported by Peng Kehong. Otherwise, how could it be such a coincidence that they came to investigate Zeng Xianglin at this critical moment? Once Zeng Xianglin said this, he was certain.

Chen Hongfu despised such things extremely. So several people led by him didn't agree to promote Peng Kehong. Jin Taihe and several others recommended Peng Kehong, and Dong Jianshu and others neither supported nor opposed. Chen Hongfu then shelved this problem until later when Su Xinghui was promoted.

In fact, if Su Xinghui hadn't been reborn, this deputy director would eventually have fallen to Peng Kehong. After all, his qualifications were older than Su Xinghui's, and he had already taken care of some leaders in advance. Unfortunately, Su Xinghui was reborn, which made him take one wrong step after another, and now he was actually sent to the family planning station.

And because he caused the telephone bill incident a few days ago and offended all the leaders, this time there was not a single person to speak for him. This was also a kind of sadness for him.

In his previous life, because Su Xinghui's personality was aloof, his relationship with Zeng Xianglin was not very good, so he didn't hear Zeng Xianglin talk about this matter. This was the first time he heard about this matter, which made him further understand the terribleness of Peng Kehong. No wonder Cheng Taoxian reminded him several times to be careful of Peng Kehong.

Su Xinghui joked: "Brother Zeng, aren't you afraid that I will plot against you in the future by telling me these things now?"

Zeng Xianglin smiled: "I'm already like this, what else can you plot against me for? Besides, I see that you are different from Peng Kehong. You are a capable person. Such people generally don't engage in conspiracies. Peng Kehong is incapable himself, so he must engage in these things to get ahead."

Su Xinghui nodded: "Brother Zeng, thank you for your trust. Come, I'll toast you!"

Zeng Xianglin drank a glass with him, and Su Xinghui said again: "Brother Zeng, in fact, you don't necessarily have no hope. As long as you work hard, after the punishment period is over, you still have the possibility of being promoted."

Zeng Xianglin said: "Little Su, I listen to you. Whatever you ask me to do in the future, I will do. In these few months, only you look up to me. Your Brother Zeng also knows this in his heart."

In fact, in these few months, Zeng Xianglin had some self-abandoning emotions because he was punished, his personality changed greatly, he became fond of saying strange things, and whenever leaders arranged for him to do something, he always had to discount it. As time went on, there were not many colleagues who liked him.

Only Su Xinghui treated him the same as other colleagues, which made Zeng Xianglin feel very moved in his heart.

Su Xinghui said: "Brother Zeng, don't say that. In short, let's all work hard in the future. I believe you will still have hope in the future."

Zeng Xianglin nodded: "Good!"

On the eleventh day, Su Xinghui got up early in the morning. He ran more than ten laps in the courtyard and practiced a set of boxing. This was his daily morning homework.

Just after he finished boxing, he saw Fu Bo run in from outside. He shouted noisily: "Something happened, something happened!"

Su Xinghui stopped him and asked him what happened. Fu Bo said: "The police station caught gambling last night. A gambler ran away, ran halfway, fell down, and broke his leg."

Su Xinghui said: "What kind of big deal is this?"

Fu Bo whispered: "You don't know. Lei Ming personally took action last night and swept Luo Ming'an's venue. It seems they caught seven or eighty thousand in gambling money. That gambler who ran away is a boss from Hongshan County, who is said to have a background. He broke his leg and spoke out, wanting to find trouble with Lei Ming."

Su Xinghui was stunned when he heard this. If it were this kind of thing, it would indeed be quite troublesome.

Meng Hu Ling was a place where, although the common people were poor, the gambling style was very strong. Many people, regardless of whether they had money at home or not, liked to gamble a few times as long as they had some money in their hands. Mahjong and Tractor were considered small, and many people liked to bet on treasures, feeling that it was exciting.

Precisely because of this, casinos emerged as the times required in Meng Hu Ling. Local ruffians and hooligans in Meng Hu Ling organized venues to find people to gamble, drew money from it, and also lent high-interest loans. However, Su Xinghui hadn't heard before that Luo Ming'an had also started a casino. Why did he start a casino this time?

But it was not strange. Luo Ming'an relied on his uncle being the Deputy Township Head in charge of politics and law. What things didn't he dare to do in the township? Opening a casino was so profitable, why wouldn't he open it? Especially during this period, he climbed onto Shan Xiaolong's gang. Maybe he learned it from them.

There were not many rich people in Meng Hu Ling, so these people who opened casinos also pulled rich people from other places to gamble. Hongshan County was to the west of Shangjun County, and Meng Hu Ling was to the southwest of Hongshan County, closer to Hongshan County town than to Shangjun County. It was normal for Luo Ming'an to be able to pull bosses from Hongshan County to gamble.

Su Xinghui said: "Such a big venue? Seven or eighty thousand?"

Fu Bo said: "Isn't it? This is the first time I heard of such a big venue. It is said that Luo Ming'an found several bosses from Hongshan County. The one who broke his leg is in construction and is surnamed Duan. He is very rich. He brought the most money, it seems more than twenty thousand. Otherwise, he wouldn't have run away desperately. It was too dark at night, and he wasn't familiar with the road, so he fell into a ditch and broke his leg."

Su Xinghui said: "He still has reason to gamble? In my opinion, he deserves to break his leg. Who told him to run? Can he, a person from Hongshan County, still find trouble with our Shangjun County police?"

Fu Bo whispered: "You don't know. This guy surnamed Duan is in construction. It is said that he has a good relationship with Qian Hongye in our county, and it seems he also has connections in the region. If he really wants to find trouble with Lei Ming, Lei Ming is really in trouble."

Lei Ming really suffered an unprovoked disaster. In Meng Hu Ling, because the gambling style was too strong, it was famous in Shangjun County. Every year, Meng Hu Ling was criticized because of this, so catching gambling was something that had to be caught. This kind of atmosphere couldn't be curbed without doing so.

Moreover, catching gambling also had a realistic need, which was that the gambling money caught was also an important source of income for the police station and the township. So the township also encouraged catching gambling, and there was a certain reward for those who reported gambling.

As a competent police station chief, Lei Ming naturally had to catch it when someone came to report gambling. When someone ran away while catching, he naturally had to chase. Who knew that he would break someone's leg in the process of chasing? Who knew that this person who broke his leg had such a background?

Work time arrived. Su Xinghui saw Lei Ming arrive at the township government with a gray face and enter Jin Taihe's office. About half an hour later, he came out and left the township government.

After a while, Su Xinghui went to the police station and went directly into Lei Ming's office. He saw Lei Ming sitting inside in a daze.

Su Xinghui said: "Chief Lei, what's wrong?"

Lei Ming looked up and saw Su Xinghui, hurriedly asked him to sit, poured him a glass of water, and said: "Nothing, just a bit tired."

Su Xinghui said: "Didn't you sleep well after catching gambling last night?"

Lei Ming smiled self-deprecatingly: "You also heard about that matter?"
