Inspector He, a member of the Nanjing Nancheng Army and Horses Division, has been having trouble patrolling for the past two days, all because his pretty wife has disappeared.
The day before yesterday, his wife Dong was clamoring to save her brother Dong Baotou, so Inspector He asked her to contact the key figure Qin Dewei first.
This idea was originally correct. First, let Dong use coercion and inducement to explore the wind. Then, after he and Inspector He understand the other party's thoughts and situation, he can then use targeted methods.
Besides, when it comes to talking to men, Dong has the advantage. The other men are decent people, not dirty, and Inspector He is not that worried.
But what Inspector He didn't expect was that the other party ignored the rules and directly arrested the negotiator, Ms. Dong! They also threatened to take off Ms. Dong's clothes and parade her around with her own name tag!
This simply made Inspector He shocked, angry and frightened. What surprised him was that the other party was so dishonorable and even more despicable than the black patrol officer himself! He had always threatened others like this, but today it was someone else who threatened him.
The angry one is a little trash in his teens, who is just trying to curry favor with the county magistrate to save this old gangster who dares to humiliate him like this!
What I'm afraid of is that the other party doesn't understand the rules of the world, and they will do things like that without any regard for them!
On the streets of Nancheng, he, Inspector He, was also a reputable figure. He didn't believe that he really dared to do that. Maybe it was just a verbal threat or intimidation, but he didn't dare to bet. What if something bad happened?
Therefore, Inspector He could not act rashly for the time being. He could only find a way to get his wife back first, and then take revenge. As a patrol officer of the Military and Horse Division, he had dozens of archers under him, but he sent out his men to inquire for information, but found nothing.
There was no one in the Jiangning County Prison where Dong was most likely to be detained, nor in the Shangyuan County Prison, nor in the Yingtianfu Prison. If we continued to inquire, there was no one in the Wucheng Soldiers and Horses Division either.
Inspector He was a little panicked now. He wouldn't be caught in the guard station, right? Thinking of the military status of the right guard left behind by Mr. Xu, he quickly asked someone to go to the guard station to inquire about it, but he also said that there was no one there.
So Patrolman He went crazy. Whether he saw people alive or dead, or saw corpses, even if he knew his head was a little green, it was still a result!
But what's the point of disappearing out of thin air? All the law enforcement agencies have searched, and they can't even find the person. They don't even know where the person is, so how can they rescue him?
Inspector He didn't believe it. The other party was not a shameless person. He really dared to set up a private torture chamber to imprison Dong for no reason! If the other party dared to do this, he would dare to go to Beijing to file a complaint!
After thinking about it, Inspector He prepared a generous gift and went to the Xu Mansion to ask for a meeting with Commander Xu. After all, the only thing that can be confirmed at the moment is that it was Conductor Xu Ding Dong's hand to see if he could get any clues from Commander Xu.
But word came from the Xu Mansion that the master was on duty at Sanshan Gate these days and was not at home, and he did not dare to accept the gifts.
Inspector He dared to enter the Xu Mansion to ask for an audience, but he did not dare to go to Sanshan Gate to find Commander Xu. Anyone who has watched Water Margin knows what happened to Lin Chong when he accidentally broke into the White Tiger Hall.
Commander Xu is probably in the same group with that little trash, and Sanshanmen is considered an important defensive area in the capital. If he went to Sanshanmen by himself, what if he was led to some restricted area with ulterior motives, and he would be in trouble.
?
Therefore, Commander Xu's side is temporarily blocked, and his somewhat pretty wife is still not seen alive or dead.
At this time, Patrolman He discovered that he did not know what the other party wanted to do. For example, when people in a river and lake collide, they must draw a clear line, express their intentions to each other, and put forward their own conditions, but now there is nothing.
After thinking twice, Inspector He remembered another person, and that was the recently famous beauty Wang Lianqing. As far as he knew, Wang Lianqing should be very close to that little trash, and he was the only middleman he could think of at the moment.
Already.
The Qinhuai Old Courtyard area is located in the southeast of the city and is also within the scope of Nancheng. It is not far from the patrol camp. Patrol He immediately went out to find Wang Lianqing.
You may not believe it, but since Emperor Taizu Gao built the Twelfth Floor, the Ming Dynasty’s entertainment industry, especially the high-end entertainment industry, has had a strong official color.
Just like in prefectures and counties, the Ministry of Households is in charge of civilian households and health offices, and the governor's office is in charge of military households. Lehu are under the jurisdiction of the Jiaofang Division, and the Ministry of Rites is in charge... Speaking of this, the Ministry of Rites has always been known as Qingshui, one of the few small treasury
A large part of the income comes from Jiaofang Silehu.
In concentrated areas such as the Qinhuai Old Courtyard and Nanshi Lou Street, you can even see officials from the Nanjing Ministry of Rites personally patrolling the area in shifts and collecting protection fees. Of course, the same is true in several alleys in Beijing.
Even if the Ministry of Rites has more real power, it is still one of the six imperial ministries, and ordinary people cannot afford to offend it. The so-called Jianghu people who want to get involved in the government-run high-end entertainment industry are seeking death.
There is also an anecdote in the past. A grand banquet was held at the home of a minister in the capital, and a group of happy households were invited to come to the house to entertain. The boss of the Ministry of Rites was afraid that the minister would bully the weak and withhold remuneration, so he personally led a team to serve and collect money.
Therefore, the high-end entertainment industry in the two capitals is prosperous, which is directly protected by the Ministry of Rites. It can be called the Ming Dynasty entertainment industry with feudal characteristics.
What I mean by saying all this is that it is impossible for Inspector He to go to find Wang Lianqing and just break in and capture Miss Wang for questioning. The thugs raised in the yard who also belong to Lehu and Wangba are not vegetarians.
Yes, there are not only famous beauties in Lehu or ordinary people who cannot be on the list, but also many men who rely on beauties to make a living. They have their own operating system.
The style of Qinhuai Old Courtyard is really different from that of Nanshi Building Street. There are no high-rise buildings, but there are often many small courtyards with various scenery in a large courtyard. Unfamiliar people suddenly come in like a maze.
Patrolman He was on good terms with Wang Lianqing's old bustard. After all, he was also a local figure in Nancheng. Otherwise, Wang Lianqing would not have entrusted Patrolman He to seek favors from Boss Dong in the first place.
After finding the place, Inspector He entered the yard and went to the main hall of the front yard with familiarity. He called out Madam Chen, and said straight to the point: "Is Wang Lianqing at home? I want to talk to her."
Chen Laobao poured the tea himself and said with a smile: "There have been quite a few people talking to Wang Lianqing recently."
Patrolman He can pretend to be the leader of the evil forces. Naturally, he is shrewd. He immediately reacted: "What do you mean, you just want to talk to her and you have to charge money?"
Madam Chen nodded: "Yes, we can't do it without charging for tea. Otherwise, if we come here because we are famous, we will sit there too much in vain."
Patrolman He said in surprise: "I heard that this is an air that only the four famous concubines have. How can your Wang Lianqing reach this level?"
Chen Laobao was very self-aware and humbly said: "I guess in my heart, it may be just a gust of wind, and it will be hard to say after a while. Whether this luck can last depends on whether God will reward me or not."
Unlike the four famous beauties, they are already iconic figures in our institute. For example, when people from out of town go sightseeing, they just want to see what the four famous beauties are like. So they can always keep the money for tea and chat with them.
, making money is really easy.”
Patrolman He was not a man short of money, and he could not do anything in the territory covered by the Ministry of Rites, so he could only take out some scraps of silver and slap them on the table.
"Please arrange it. I want to have a few words with Wang Lianqing. If possible, I would like to ask her for a favor and thank you separately!"
