Chapter 244 Thorough Investigation of Changpingfang

Liu Qi arrived at Jingzhao Mansion early, and this has been the norm these days.

Although Shang Jingchuan did not assign any work to him, Liu Qi still did not dare to slack off at all. Even if he just sat in the room in a daze after arriving, Liu Qi still arrived every day, eliminating the perfunctory prevarication in the past.

As for why his attitude changed 180 degrees, the government officials in Jingzhao Mansion naturally knew it, but no one said it out loud.

At this time, Liu Qi still felt uneasy.

He didn't take Shang Jingchuan seriously before, thinking he was just a nerd who was stupid because of reading.

In addition, with the support of King Qi Yan Sifu, Shang Jingchuan was no longer taken seriously.

But I never expected that things would change so quickly.

Almost overnight, the situation took a turn.

First, the Sihai Gang's offensive was thwarted, and even a master of the Pulse Opening Realm was defeated by Zhao Ya.

Immediately afterwards, Lang Songbai, the leader of Qingjing Haihai, was killed by Zhao Ya with one punch. However, the Sihai Gang didn't even have a hard word to say, and it seemed that they were going to endure it.

Facing these sudden events, Liu Qi was simply filled with panic.

He never expected that Zhao Ya next to Shang Jingchuan would be so powerful.

When he thought about his previous neglect, Liu Qi was shocked and frightened, and he came to work obediently the next day.

Moreover, Liu Qi also flattered Shang Jingchuan in every possible way and tried his best to restore his previous image.

Shang Jingchuan showed neither rejection nor enthusiasm.

This also made Liu Qi feel more and more panicked.

Although he has Yan Sifu as his backer, he has been struggling in officialdom and the world for so many years.

Liu Qi knew very well that it was better for the county magistrate to take charge now.

Especially when the current manager is still very powerful, it couldn't be easier to cause trouble for him.

But he was afraid of what would come. Just as Liu Qi was sitting on pins and needles in the police room, a voice suddenly came from outside the room.

"grown ups!"

"Lord Fu Yin!"

When Liu Qi heard this, he knew that it was Shang Jingchuan who was coming. He quickly put away his sad face, replaced it with a smiling face, and then went out with a smile.

"Sir, you..."

The smile on Liu Qi's face froze.

Because he saw Zhao Ya following Shang Jingchuan at a glance.

Although he had never seen Zhao Ya, Liu Qi knew that this young man must be the young hero Zhao Ya who had become famous recently when he saw the heroic spirit and majesty of his body. He suddenly became frightened and uneasy. .

At this moment, Zhao Ya also looked over.

Looking at each other, Liu Qi felt that his hair stood on end and lowered his head in a hurry.

Zhao Ya naturally guessed the identity of this chubby head catcher who looked like a wealthy businessman.

On the way here, Shang Jingchuan introduced the personnel composition of Jingzhao Mansion to Zhao Ya in detail, especially Liu Qi.

When he heard that he actually opened a brothel in Changpingfang, Zhao Ya couldn't help but be concerned.

Since ancient times, eroticism has always been inseparable from violence, especially Liu Qi, who is also the head catcher of Jingzhao Mansion. This identity actually owns a brothel in Changpingfang, which is tightly controlled by the Sihai Gang.

This in itself is worth pondering.

However, Zhao Ya did not say a word and followed Shang Jingchuan into the study.

Wait until the two of them enter.

The police officers in Jingzhao Mansion were all excited.

"Is this Zhao Ya who killed Lang Songbai with one punch?"

"Call Young Master Zhao!"

"No wonder we adults dare to take over this mess. With such a master by our side, even the Sihai Gang has to be wary."

Amidst the discussion, the expression on Liu Qi's face was very ugly.

Because he was not sure what Zhao Ya wanted to do when he suddenly came to Jingzhao Mansion.

Although he probably didn't know about his tip-off, Liu Qi was inevitably a little suspicious due to his guilty conscience.

At the same time, in the study, Shang Jingchuan introduced the files on the desk to Zhao Ya.

"This is the dossier I recently compiled on the Sihai Gang, and these are just the most representative parts. If I were to put them all on this desk, I wouldn't even be able to put them on this desk."

Zhao Ya took down a dossier from the highest pile, looked through it briefly, and then frowned.

"It's disgusting, isn't it? In fact, my lungs almost exploded when I saw it. Especially Changpingfang, which is a filthy and stinky place. It's ridiculous that I thought it was very nice before." Shang Jingchuan said with indignation.

The file Zhao Ya held in his hand was about those brothels in Changpingfang.

And this also peels off the seemingly glamorous exterior, revealing the riddled and filthy nature underneath.

Zhao Ya just flipped through it briefly and found that forcing a good woman to become a prostitute and taking human life was a light thing. Even Zhao Ya found some of the methods shocking.

In just one brothel under the rule of Sheng Lianhua, at least dozens of girls disappeared from the world every year.

And these people were either sent to wealthy families for the entertainment of those with special quirks, or they were brutally killed because they disobeyed discipline.

"I used to think that although gangs like the Sihai Gang were dark, they could at least maintain stability at the bottom. But now I realize that when there is no sunshine, the darkness is so unbridled." Shang Jingchuan sighed.

Zhao Ya remained silent until a long time later before suddenly saying: "How many people do you have under your command now?"

"Counting all the government officers and agents, there are about forty people."

"Okay, gather them all."

"What for?"

"To thoroughly investigate Changpingfang." Zhao Ya said decisively.

Shang Jingchuan was stunned at first, then he said happily: "Okay!"

When these summoned yamen runners heard the news, their reactions were different.

Some were eager to try, some felt incredible, but most were afraid.

After all, the Four Seas Gang had accumulated power for a long time, and they were just a small constable in Jingzhao Prefecture. How could they afford to offend?

But at this time, Zhao Ya gave them a reassurance.

"You don't have to worry, I will take the lead when the time comes, you just need to follow me."

Hearing what Zhao Ya said, these constables and yamen runners were relieved.

After all, there are tall people to support the sky when it falls, and even Zhao Ya said so, so they naturally have no objection.

Oh, it can't be that none of them have any objection.

At least one person has an objection.

Liu Qi's face was pale, and his heart was filled with fear, uneasiness and anxiety, just like a boiling pot.

Because if the investigation of Changpingfang was thorough as Zhao Ya said, he would also be affected.

And if the scandals he had done were exposed, he might not even be able to save his life.

Thinking of this, Liu Qi had only one idea in his mind, which was to pass the news as soon as possible and let his men destroy the evidence first.

He saw an opportunity, and on the pretext of going back to the house to pack up, he quietly went to the backyard, intending to find someone familiar in the kitchen to send the news out.

But he had just arrived at the kitchen, and before he entered the door, he suddenly heard a chuckle from behind him.

"Isn't Captain Liu going back to the house to pack up? Why are you suddenly running to the kitchen?"

Hearing this, Liu Qi froze.

When he turned around with difficulty and saw Zhao Ya standing behind him, he squeezed out a smile that was uglier than crying.

"I... I suddenly feel a little hungry, and I plan to go to the kitchen to find something to eat."

"Oh, so that's the case, then you go eat quickly."

After saying that, Zhao Ya did not mean to leave, but stood there and watched with a smile.

Liu Qi was complaining in his heart, so he could only bite the bullet and walk into the kitchen, taking a few steamed buns and stuffing them into his mouth.

When all the steamed buns were eaten, Liu Qi choked and rolled his eyes.

Zhao Ya just smiled.

"Okay, it's getting late, hurry up and pack up and get ready to go."

In fact, it was not just Liu Qi, Zhao Ya also secretly observed everyone to prevent someone from sneaking out to tip off.

It was not until the afternoon, when everything was ready, Shang Jingchuan led the team personally, Zhao Ya accompanied him, and then led a mighty team to kill towards Changpingfang.

All the way, everyone was paying attention.

Because no one had ever seen such a scene.

Dozens of police officers were walking on the street, led by a middle-aged man in official uniform.

This looked like something big was going to happen.

When people found that the team was heading straight for Changpingfang, they were even more shocked.

"Which prefecture are these police officers from?"

"It seems to be Jingzhao Prefecture!"

"Hiss, I recognize that young man. Isn't he the young man Zhao Ya who has become famous recently? What is he doing with this team?"

There was a lot of discussion for a while.

Some smart people had vaguely guessed something and couldn't help but get excited.

At the same time.

Sheng Lianhua in Changpingfang also learned the news at the first time.

"What? Zhao Ya and Shang Jingchuan brought a group of people to Changpingfang?" Sheng Lianhua was shocked.

Sheng Lianhua has been uneasy these days.

Although Lang Songbai is dead, his Qingjing Sea will be divided between himself and Xiong Kun.

But Sheng Lianhua can't be happy at all.

Because Lang Songbai's death was too aggrieved.

Sheng Lianhua could not help but feel a strong sense of crisis in her heart.

For this reason, she sent people to invite Xiong Kun to discuss several times, but Xiong Kun refused by saying that his old injury relapsed and he was bedridden.

Even once, Sheng Lianhua personally visited him, but Xiong Kun still refused to meet her.

This attitude also made Sheng Lianhua more and more uneasy besides being angry.

After all, if we talk about who has the most blood on his hands, Sheng Lianhua should be the first.

It was not obvious at ordinary times, but now Zhao Ya's sudden appearance made Sheng Lianhua feel great pressure.

So in the past few days, she has been strictly ordering her subordinates to act cautiously, and she has also restrained a lot from exploiting the girls in the brothel.

But I didn't expect that she still didn't avoid it, and it came so quickly.

"Where are they now?"

"They have just arrived at the nearby market, and they will probably arrive in a few moments."

Sheng Lianhua's face was gloomy, and she gritted her teeth and said, "Quick, gather all the men and be ready."

"I don't believe it. No matter how arrogant Zhao Ya is, can he dare to kill all my people?"

At this time, Zhao Ya and his group had arrived in front of the gate of Changpingfang.

Looking at the three gold-plated characters, Shang Jingchuan sighed, "I always thought this was a gentle place, but now I think that all this is actually built on the bones of those girls who died unjustly."

Zhao Ya didn't say anything, just watched quietly.

"Let's go, I hope we can get some justice for those dead souls today." Shang Jingchuan said.

When the team entered Changpingfang, the pedestrians and people seeking pleasure on the street were very surprised.

Because they haven't seen the government's police officers in Changpingfang for a long time.

There was such a big fuss all of a sudden, and they didn't know what was going on.

At this moment, Zhao Ya suddenly stopped and raised his hand to point to a brothel on the side of the road.

"Captain Liu, is this the brothel you run?"

Liu Qi trembled all over, and then nodded with difficulty.

"yes!"

"I remember that Dayan has regulations that officials are not allowed to do business, right?"

Liu Qi saw sweat on his forehead and forced a smile: "There is indeed such a rule."

Liu Qi really wanted to say that this is nothing more than sesame seeds and rotten millet. Who in Dayan would take this seriously now?

But he didn't dare to say it, so he could only endure it.

At this time, the shopkeeper of the brothel run by Liu Qi walked out quickly. When he saw Liu Qi, Shang Jingchuan and others, he was stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile on his face.

"My boss, are you planning to entertain your colleagues? I will go and make arrangements for you now. A new group of girls have arrived. They are all fresh and very pretty. They will be arranged for you and the uncles later. ”

If possible, Liu Qi really wanted to sew his subordinate's mouth shut.

This can no longer be described as stupid, it simply has no vision at all.

So he was about to rebuke him.

Unexpectedly, Zhao Ya smiled, then waved his hand, signaling Liu Qi not to say anything, and then called the shopkeeper over.

"You said a new group of little girls have arrived. Where do they come from?"

"Don't worry, uncle, the goods we buy here are all top quality, and they are all women from good families." The shopkeeper said very proudly.

"Oh? How could a good girl end up in this place?" Zhao Ya said with a half-smile.

"You don't know this. In fact, there are many methods, some are directly robbing, some are deliberately seducing the woman's parents into gambling, and then force their daughter to pay off the debt after they are in debt, and some are deceived with sweet words. In short , as soon as they enter our door, these women no longer belong to themselves. "

"If we want them to live, they have to live. If we want them to die, they have to die. So they all have to be obedient and do whatever they are told."

Along with these narratives, Liu Qi's face gradually became desperate.

He regretted that he should not have promoted this distant relative to become the owner of a brothel just to save some money.

But it's too late to say anything now.

He could only listen with a pale face.

But the more Zhao Ya listened, the brighter the smile on his face became.

"So that's it. Can you let me meet these girls? You know, my elder is quite picky, and ordinary things won't catch his eye."

"Don't worry about this. The quality of the goods we have purchased are all first-class. I guarantee you will be satisfied." The shopkeeper assured, patting his chest.

After saying that, he let Zhao Ya and others in, and then gave a few instructions to one person.

The man took the order and left.

soon.

I heard a silver bell ringing, and then I saw a group of women being escorted out.
