Chapter 131 Who Takes Advantage
So when he heard that a few people had been caught, Liu Qidong wanted to behead them in public right away, but they were just a few small fish and the big fish were nowhere to be seen. He couldn't alert the snakes at this time, so he had to suppress the anger in his heart.
Liu Qidong had the group of people put in jail and specifically instructed them not to let them have an easy time.
Shen Shixu noticed his little action but didn't say anything. The gang said they did not succeed in kidnapping the child, but they did try after all and were only unsuccessful because they were stopped in the middle.
Moreover, he later hunted down Xiao Lie and Baili Xi, so it would not be an exaggeration to sentence him to death.
However, because the previous dynasty was overthrown due to severe punishments that caused riots among the people, the founding emperor of the country was more merciful when formulating criminal laws. The death penalty would not be easily imposed unless the person committed a heinous crime.
But at the same time, those who cannot be sentenced to death will be locked up in prison until they die.
Naturally, these prisoners could not receive any good treatment. They had poor food, clothing, and sleep all year round. It was impossible for them to go out for exercise every day like modern prisoners. They could not seek medical treatment outside the law when they were sick.
But one thing in common is that they will also reduce the prisoners' sentences based on their performance.
The opportunity for these prisoners to perform is during the annual major construction projects of digging ditches and repairing city walls. These people will be pulled out to work as laborers, and their sentences will be reduced based on their performance, which can be considered a good way to make use of waste.
Back to the topic, Shen Shixu said to Liu Qidong, who had arranged everything, “Sir Liu, I want to ask you something. Before I came here, I interrogated those people and they revealed a piece of news.
The mastermind behind their organization is now hiding in Pingcheng County, disguised as a prostitute hiding in Shu Yaxuan. I wonder how much Lord Liu knows about Shu Yaxuan? ”
Liu Qidong was very embarrassed when he heard Shen Shixu's question and didn't know what to say.
If he knew, it was a place of entertainment after all, and it was for men only. He was already married and had children, and his children were about to get married.
To say that he didn't know is unrealistic. Pingcheng County is so small, Shu Yaxuan is quite famous, and he has been working here for so many years. To say that he didn't know anything is unrealistic.
Shen Shixu watched the expression on his face change several times, but said nothing, and didn't understand what he was hesitating to say.
Baili Xi had been in the martial arts world for many years and knew something about the taboos for men, especially married men, so he took the initiative to give Liu Qidong a way out.
"Master Liu must not be very familiar with this kind of brothel. Why don't you find someone familiar with Pingcheng County to take us there? We can go and check to see if that person is really there, or if those people have deceived us."
When Baili Xi said this, he emphasized the pronunciation of the four words "fengyue place". Shen Shixu's mind turned quickly and he understood why Liu Qidong was so embarrassed just now.
It was indeed his inconsiderateness. If this matter had been reported to Liu Qidong's wife, the couple would have probably quarreled and almost had a family conflict.
Liu Qidong looked at Baili Xi with gratitude and called the chief constable under his command to lead the way for them.
"This is our Pingcheng County Chief Constable. Chief Constable Zhang grew up in Pingcheng County. He can be said to be a living map of our Pingcheng County. There is nothing he doesn't know."
After introducing Shen Shixu and the others, he said to Captain Zhang, "Old Zhang, these are the nobles from the capital, who are here to help us solve the case. During the investigation, you will follow them and obey their instructions."
Captain Zhang is a middle-aged man in his forties. He looks upright, has a square face, a little beard on his chin, and bronze skin. He looks like a man of integrity.
"Yes! I will definitely cooperate with the masters from the capital to solve this case."
Captain Zhang also has children at home. Because of the disappearance and death of the children in the past two days, the children in his family were locked up at home and not allowed to go out.
Children are the most important existence in a family. The large number of missing and dead children cast a shadow over the entire Pingcheng County.
As the guardian of Pingcheng County and the child's father, Captain Zhang hated the person behind the scenes so much that he wanted to find the person and skin him alive.
Now that they have found someone who can lead the way, the next thing to do is to think about what identity they should have when entering. The best identity is naturally that of a patron who comes in for entertainment.
But as soon as he put forward this idea, it was immediately opposed by everyone.
"No, absolutely not." Xiao Jinyi couldn't imagine what Shen Shixu would look like when he went to Nanfeng Pavilion. Shen Shixu looked like this, and if he went there as a patron, it was unknown who would take advantage of whom between him and the young waiter.
Others had the same idea as him. If Shen Shixu really went in, they were afraid that the boss there would not release him if he looked like this.
Just based on his face, Shen Shixu is definitely the best among the best!
Baili Xi pinched Shen Shixu's smooth and white face and said, "You are so good-looking. If you go in as a patron, I'm afraid they will eat you till there is nothing left."
Shen Shixu felt that what they said was too exaggerated, and he didn't really want to have relationships with those young men. She had thought it through. When the time comes, she will call all the young men together under the pretext of appreciating their talents to see who is the most suspicious. It shouldn't be as dangerous as they said, right?
Seeing that he didn't take his words seriously, Baili Xi tapped his forehead fiercely, poking Shen Shixu's forehead red.
"You are still too ignorant. In places like that, whether it's tea, cakes or incense, they all have some aphrodisiac effect.
Even if you hold back, it will still hurt your body. You don't have the inner strength, so let someone else do this! ”
Baili Xi said this while looking at Xiao Jinyi and Bai He, and after thinking for a while he included Mo Yu in the equation.
Seeing his gaze, Xiao Jinyi took a few steps back, hid behind Shen Shixu and said, "I have a family, so I won't go in there!"
The abandoned Bai He and Mo Yu had black lines on their foreheads and they complained in their hearts: Don’t they have families?
Shen Shixu felt annoyed watching them pushing each other back and forth, so he stepped out of the battle circle and said to Captain Zhang who was dumbfounded, "Captain Zhang, please go buy some good rouge and powder for me. Remember to buy them in full. Also, find me a few brushes so I can show you my skills."
Captain Zhang didn't know what he wanted these things for, but he still prepared them for him.
Half an hour later, everything was ready.
Shen Shixu opened all the rouge and powder, laid them out on the table, then picked up a brush, dipped it in the rouge and powder, and began to paint on his face in front of the mirror.
