Gu Tongshan, the master of Xu Hu and Wei Xiangzuo, was one of the absolute veterans of the dock gang. He was of the same generation as the current leader of the dock gang, and both of their names had the character "Tong" in the middle.

Gu Tongshan was the previous leader of the Zhan Nan dock gang. After he got a little older, he let Xu Hu and Wei Xiangzuo take over the leadership and manage the specific affairs of the Zhan Nan dock gang. He himself entered the Dock Workers' General Association, served as a director, and got a seat in the city council. In short, he was considered to have successfully landed ashore and no longer directly participated in the fighting and killing of the martial world.

Although Gu Tongshan was no longer in Zhan Nan, his influence was still very strong. First of all, Wei Xiangzuo, the leader of Zhan Nan, had always respected him, calling him "Master" wherever he went. In addition, many of the older members of the dock gang in the Zhan Nan area also listened to him very much, so this person was the one who truly controlled the direction of the Zhan Nan dock gang.

Inside the room.

Xu Hu listened to his master's question and didn't even dare to sit down. He immediately replied, "It was Feng Hai who didn't greet me and added more than a hundred jin of private goods to the six hundred jin of goods."

Although Gu Tongshan was nearly sixty years old, he looked very healthy. There were not many wrinkles on his face, and his hair was dyed completely black. In short, he looked very imposing sitting there.

After Xu Hu finished speaking, Gu Tongshan did not respond immediately, but crossed his hands and looked at him lightly.

"Master... I was indeed negligent in the matter of Feng Hai mixing goods and selling them privately." Xu Hu added, "This kind of thing will definitely not happen again in the future."

Gu Tongshan withdrew his gaze, crossed his hands, and said slowly, "Alas, now even people like Feng Hai dare to import goods privately. There are really too many people, and it's hard to manage."

Xu Hu did not respond when he heard this.

"Sit down," Gu Tongshan said.

Xu Hu heard this and bent down to sit on Gu Tongshan's side.

"People have been arrested, goods have been seized, and attention has been raised." Gu Tongshan did not dwell on the issue of Feng Hai mixing goods, but said softly, "Now that things have reached this point, it is obviously impossible for you to clear anyone or get anyone out. Since the case is dead, we have to accept the result."

Wei Xiangzuo nodded when he heard this.

"Who do you think did this?" Gu Tongshan asked Xu Hu.

"Obviously, it's very likely the Yu family." Xu Hu replied.

"Since the case is dead, we must reduce losses. On the dock gang's side, who should come out to take the blame and who should spend money to operate, everyone must do their job." Gu Tongshan pondered for a moment, then continued, "The Coast Guard took the money, but didn't protect the goods. They should bear more responsibility. Therefore, let them quickly push out someone to take the blame so that the incident can be calmed down as soon as possible."

"Yes!" Xu Hu nodded.

"More than ten million worth of goods were seized, and more than a dozen people were arrested. The Yu family's move this time was clearly aimed at killing people." Gu Tongshan turned to look at Wei Xiangzuo, "The guns must be pointed outward, do you understand what I mean?"

"Of course!" Wei Xiangzuo replied without hesitation.

"While settling the matter, we must find out what happened." Gu Tongshan pointed to Xu Hu and said, "I don't want to hear guesses, I just want to see who moved the goods. To catch a thief, you must hold down his hand and have evidence."

"Yes, Master!" Xu Hu nodded.

"The goods are lost, and people from Lao Mo are here too." Gu Tongshan stood up and said, "You guys pick them up, settle them down properly, that's all."

After speaking, Gu Tongshan went straight into the house.

Seeing his master leave, Wei Xiangzuo immediately said to Xu Hu, "I told you a long time ago, don't touch Lao Mo's goods. This thing will kill the dock gang sooner or later!"

Xu Hu was upset and retorted directly, "Why don't you say this to Master?"

Wei Xiangzuo was silent for a moment, "Forget it, I won't argue. If you need my help, just say so."

After speaking, Wei Xiangzuo also left.

...

In the following days, the dock gang, the Coast Guard, and the Customs Anti-Smuggling Department were successively cleaned up. A deputy director-level cadre, more than a dozen police chief-level cadres, and more than twenty police officers were all suspended from their duties and isolated for interrogation, including Tang Baiqing and the squadron leader.

At the same time, Feng Hai and others were sent to the major case detention center. It is estimated that the lightest sentence would be ten years or more, and the leader would definitely be sentenced to death.

However, Feng Hai was the head of the Zhan Nan dock gang and Xu Hu's confidant, so he might be spared his life, and a leader who could take the blame would be pushed up. But no one knows how much money this would cost. At least, Wang Daolin must be taken care of before this can be done.

On the other side, Yu Mingyuan, Su Tianyu and others returned to The Dragon City after playing on Guangji Island for three days and two nights.

After everyone came back, they stayed at Yu Mingyuan's house almost all day, talking about the situation at the dock. Because at this time, there was no need to make up for their actions. The incident had already been pushed up, and they only needed to continue to pay attention to it.

After the smuggling case fermented, the dock gang's business must have stopped. At least in the short term, they would not dare to ship goods. So everyone's situation was similar now. However, the dock gang was large in scale, and the losses were definitely far greater than those of Mingyuan Company.

Although Yu Mingyuan did not get any vested interests in this incident, but spent a lot of money, he was happy in his heart because he achieved two goals.

First, the other party was currently under port closure, and as long as Yu Mingyuan was in The Dragon City for one day, even if the dock gang shipped goods again in the future, they would have to be wary of the Yu family at all times, otherwise something might happen again. Therefore, the purpose of the stalemate between the two sides had been achieved. If the dock gang wanted to do business safely in the future, they would definitely have to talk to Yu Mingyuan.

Second, more than ten million worth of goods were seized, and Xu Hu was definitely facing unprecedented pressure, because he simply did not have the financial strength to control such a large scale. He was only the person in charge of operations on the surface, and the behind-the-scenes bosses on the relevant chain of interests would question him, such as the Coast Guard, the suppliers, and the old guys in the Dock Workers' General Association who wanted to share the benefits. At the same time, the Zhan Nan port could not ship goods for a period of time in the future, so the dock gang's lackeys would have no food to eat. If everyone had no work to do and no gray income, it would also put pressure on Xu Hu, and this pressure would also prompt Xu Hu to compromise.

Therefore, Yu Mingyuan, Gou Liuzi and others were not in a hurry now, and they were in a good mood and very idle.

...

More than twenty days passed in a row, and the Chinese Lunar New Year was coming soon.

This day at noon.

Inside the criminal detention center of the Police Department, Da Xiong squatted in the toilet of the prison cell, using a brush to scrub the squatting pit with his bare hands.

A small, short suspect came over from behind and looked at the burly Da Xiong squatting by the pit. He immediately raised his arm and slapped him.

"Pa!"

A crisp sound rang out, and Da Xiong's neck was swollen from the beating. He turned his head in panic and asked, "Bro...Brother, wh...what's wrong?"

"Brush it lightly, making a creaking sound, aren't other people resting?" the suspect squinted and scolded, "Get out of the way, I'm going to pee!"

Da Xiong looked at him and moved his body to the side.

The suspect peed into the squatting pit, then pulled up his pants and turned around to continue, "Keep brushing, brush it clean! Otherwise, if you fail the inspection tonight, I'll beat you."

Da Xiong looked at the urine in the squatting pit, hesitated for a moment, and continued to brush it with his bare hands.
