Of course we cannot sit idly by and ignore it.
Without stopping, Zhou Chen finally arrived at Dongyang County, the county capital, one day later.
Compared with Linhai County, the prosperity of Dongyang County has increased by several levels. Whether it is from the city walls outside or the road buildings inside the city, they are not on the same level. The crowds coming and going can also tell that the
Living conditions are far better than those in the county town.
Zhou Chen only made some inquiries and determined the location of the Jiaofang Department of the county government.
Although it was still daytime, Jiaofangsi was already very lively, with many people in luxurious clothes coming in and out.
Jiaofangsi belongs to the imperial court, and is very different from those brothels. It is more of a place for officials and wealthy gentry. It is difficult for ordinary people to enter Jiaofangsi to spend money.
The Jiaofangsi is said to be a place for the court's prostitutes, but in fact the business is not much different from that of a brothel, except that it looks better on the outside.
Zhou Chen is not a high-ranking official, so he did not use conventional methods to enter Jiaofangsi. Instead, he used his own skills to sneak into Jiaofangsi.
Jiaofangsi covers a large area. It is not easy to find someone in such a large Jiaofangsi and to search quietly.
But Zhou Chen also had his own method. After two days, he finally found out about the female members of the Gu family.
What is regrettable is that after entering the Jiaofang Division, some of the female members of the Gu family did not want to be humiliated and had already committed suicide. Gu Qingqing, whom Zhou Chen wanted to find, did not commit suicide because she was outstanding in appearance and talented.
, is valued by the chief officer of the Jiaofang Division, and is being trained intensively, hoping to train Gu Qingqing to become the oiran of the Jiaofang Division.
Because of this, although Gu Qingqing joined the Jiaofang Division, he was not forced to pick up customers, but was receiving training.
But precisely because of this, it is not that easy to rescue Gu Qingqing.
Gu Qingqing has now become a lowly person. Even if Zhou Chen rescues her by force, her status as a lowly person will not change. Once caught, she will be punished with death.
Therefore, if you want to rescue Gu Qingqing and allow her to live an upright life, you must solve the problem of her low status.
Zhou Chen wanted to repay Gu Qingqing, not harm her, so he had to think of a foolproof strategy.
After confirming that Gu Qingqing was not in danger for the time being, Zhou Chen did not rush to rescue anyone, but was thinking about ways to save Gu Qingqing.
After much deliberation, I can only use the simplest method. Money can make all the difference.
Seven days later!
Sheriff Qian Zhengqing returned home drunk, went to his room, drove away the servants, and opened the wooden box he brought back.
The wooden box was full of jewels, which made his eyes dazzle and his expression excited.
After three years as a county guard, he did not achieve much, but he made a lot of wealth.
At the beginning, he was also a capital official with a bright future, but later he offended someone and was demoted to a local government and became the governor of Dongyang County. Three years have passed now.
He has long lost his previous ambitions and only wants to make enough wealth before resigning to prepare for his future retirement.
However, he is also a smart man. Although he is making money, he is not without a bottom line. He will not do anything that crosses the line. After all, he now has a lot of wealth. It would be a pity if he did not enjoy it with his life.
He closed the wooden box with a smile. Qian Zhengqing was about to put it away when he raised his head and suddenly saw a figure in front of him. He was so frightened that he almost screamed.
"Master Qian, don't be nervous, I don't mean any harm."
Qian Zhengqing forcibly stopped the urge to shout and looked at the man who suddenly appeared in front of him. He didn't know how long he had been here, but he really didn't feel anything at all.
"Who are you? Who gave you the courage to break into my mansion?"
His words are sharp, but he doesn't have much confidence. The fact that the other party appeared in his bedroom without anyone noticing, and that he hasn't been discovered yet, shows that this person is not simple. He is cautious and still leaves room for words.
The person who came was Zhou Chen. Naturally, he came here in the middle of the night just to wait for Qian Zhengqing.
"It's my fault that I broke in late at night, but in order to see you, I had to do this. Please forgive me. I came here this time because I have something important to ask for your help."
After hearing this, Qian Zhengqing felt relieved a little.
"Please help me, sir. There is no need to use this method. You..."
Before he finished speaking, he was blinded by the shining gold.
