Chapter 154: The Turmoil in the Soft Red Mansion (4)
In the face of such a naked threat from Li Chengji, Yang Zhen was not afraid at all, and said tit-for-tat: "Since we dare to come to the soft red mansion, we are naturally sure to find out the problem." www.biquge.info Second Master Li, you still have to worry about how to give an explanation to the county government and the people when the time comes. Please also testify for us, don't say that it is our county government that planted the blame on them! The latter words are said to those pleasure-seeking guests who have changed from panic to theater mentality.
These guests just want to have fun today, but they don't want to meet the county government to handle the case, and it is impossible to say that there is no resentment in their hearts. But they also know the common sense that the people don't fight with the officials, so naturally they won't stand up for Li Chengji, and seeing that someone dares to touch the tiger whiskers of the Li family, they are naturally happy to watch this dispute. So except for a few people who were less courageous, everyone else remained present, watching the conversation between the two with great interest, to see what the ending would be.
Now that Yang Zhen suddenly said this to them, a few good people agreed one after another: "Okay, let's be a witness for the two of you!" ”
"That's it, everyone!" After saying this, Yang Zhen no longer paid attention to Li Chengji, whose face was a little distorted with anger, and came to the women who were driven together by Cai Yingyang and them, with a frightened look on their faces, and coughed lightly before saying, "Girls, don't panic, we are only here to investigate the case, but not to embarrass you." Only then did he turn around and say to Shi, who was still a little stunned: "Brother Shi, come and see, is there any of these people who have your daughter?" ”
"Oh...... Good! Hearing the greeting, Shi Fang reacted, and hurriedly came to Yang Zhen's side in three steps and two steps, carefully identifying the faces of the more than ten women dressed in fancy clothes. In fact, he was extremely conflicted at the moment, hoping to find his daughter, but at the same time he was afraid that his daughter was really among them. If his daughter had become one of these women, he wouldn't even know how to deal with it.
It was precisely because of such a complicated mind that it took an extraordinarily long time to cast and look at these more than ten women, and Cai Yingyang and they all took a lot of girls who were hiding on the second floor out of the room, so he finally saw these people in front of him clearly, and then shook his head slightly, as if relieved and said: "Lord Hui, there is no Cuilian, the daughter of the grass people, among these women......
Yang Zhen nodded slightly, which was in his expectation. Now these women are the most popular in the soft red mansion, so naturally they can't be those women from good families who have been abducted and trafficked. However, there are thirty or forty girls in this soft red mansion, so there is no need to be discouraged.
After a series of searches on the second floor, a dozen or so disheveled women came downstairs one after another, and several curses came from the room, which were the dissatisfaction of the prostitutes who were having fun with these women. But they only dared to hide in the room and scold for a few sentences, but they didn't have the courage to come out and reason with Yang Zhen.
After checking again, Shi Shi shook his head again in disappointment: "There are no little girls among them...... Could it be that the news I found out before is fake? Seeing that there was no daughter he was looking for among so many women, he couldn't help but be a little suspicious.
Yang Zhen also frowned slightly at this moment, maybe he really found the wrong place to cast it, or maybe he had already prepared in the soft red building? Thinking of this, Yang Zhen couldn't help but look at Li Chengji, only to see that the other party was standing there with his arms crossed with a sneer on his face, looking completely fearless.
After a while, seven or eight women on the third floor were also brought down, including the woman who had been in the room with Li Chengji and the phoenix just now. Shou Laosi came to Yang Zhen and whispered: "I have searched for all the boudoirs upstairs and downstairs, and there is nothing else missing." The implication is that it is up to these women to find out whether the problem can be found.
But Shi Shi was disappointed again, and he didn't even need to speak anymore, just looking at his expression, and the fact that the women were just showing fear on their faces, he could know that none of them had the daughter he was looking for.
Li Chengji naturally saw the result, smiled, and said to Yang Zhen: "What else do you have to say now?" I said a long time ago, although the soft red mansion is a green building, it is by no means the kind of place where dirt and dirt are hidden. Our Li family will definitely not just forget this matter! As he spoke, he hugged his fists at those guests and said, "Today's incident is also due to the inconsiderate behavior of our Li family, and I hope you Haihan." Today's expenses are counted as my two, if you are still interested, you can continue to be happy here! ”
His attitude clearly didn't want to pay attention to Yang Zhen and the others anymore, and it showed the momentum of the Li family not taking the county government seriously. This made the hearts of the officials suddenly angry, but for a while, they couldn't find the problem, who told them to check the door but couldn't find the problem, this can even be called a bit of self-inflicted humiliation.
Only Yang Zhen still didn't have much emotional fluctuation at the moment, and said with a smile: "Second Master Li, I haven't said that the matter is over, it's a little inappropriate for you to talk like this." ”
What do you mean by that? You have also seen the girls in our building, and there is no one to look for, do you still want to say that our soft red mansion is not capable of abducting and selling people? Li Chengji asked with a glaring eye.
"The absence of Brother Shi's daughter only shows that you have not abducted and sold his daughter, but it does not prove that you have not committed any crimes." Yang Zhen was so tidy.
"You...... You are obviously a strong word, and there is no excuse for the sin you want to add! Li Chengji was furious, if it weren't for the fact that his family had gained the upper hand at this moment, he would have to draw his fists and face each other.
Yang Zhen didn't pay attention to his anger at all, but suddenly turned to those women, and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, I believe that some of you will be coerced into this soft red mansion. As long as you are willing to identify yourself today, the government will definitely be able to give you justice and help you return to your hometown! ”
"Ah......" When Hui Niang heard Yang Zhen's words, her face suddenly changed, and she couldn't help but exclaim. It wasn't until Li Chengji's fierce gaze fell on her that she hurriedly covered her mouth with her hands, but the look of fright in her eyes couldn't be concealed.
Just looking at her expression, Yang Zhen expected that among these women, there must be a poor woman who was deceived from him, which made the corners of his mouth couldn't help but show a smile in his chest.
But the result was much beyond Yang Zhen's expectations. For a long time after he said that, although some of the women were moved, none of them stood up and admitted that they had been abducted and trafficked into the Soft Red Mansion. Some women were swept away by Yang Zhen's gaze, and they lowered their heads as if they were frightened.
Seeing this situation, it was Li Chengji's turn to feel proud: "Yang Zhen, what other means do you have?" If you want to blame us for the soft red mansion, these alone are far from enough. ”
Saying these provocative words, Li Chengji was really relieved in his heart, and secretly glad that there were no clear people in the building today, otherwise things would be in trouble. As a person who has been the master of the house in the soft red mansion for many years, he really knows the thoughts of these dusty women too well. Perhaps at this point, they would still want to get out of the fire pit, but after a while, it will be different.
Because the world has an instinctive contempt for these women, it is difficult for them to be good even if they want to, let alone be rescued by the government and return home. That would only make them feel more ashamed, and even think about dying. Since you can still live a beautiful life in this soft red mansion, why do you want to reveal your identity and be despised by the villagers and die?
Of course, in addition to this psychology, the power of Li Chengji and the Li family is also one of the reasons why these women dare not admit their identities. In Zhuji, there are a few people who don't know how powerful the Li family is, and the county government is not taken seriously by them at all. If they really turned against the water today, and tomorrow the Li family suddenly asked the county government to change their words, and their fate would not only be described by a tragic word.
"Boy, if you want to fight with our Li family, you're still too tender!" Li Chengji felt very happy in his heart, and glanced at Yang Zhen, whose face was already very ugly, and said: "How about a few bad masters, now we should believe that there is no problem with our soft red mansion, right?" Please, don't send it! ”
At this time, a surprise cry suddenly came from the second floor: "Erlang, sure enough, there is a secret room here!" ”
When these words came, the nervous look on Yang Zhen's face suddenly fell, and was replaced by a rather playful smile: "Second Master Li, I don't know why you built a secret room in the building?" ”
The smile on Li Chengji's face was completely frozen at this moment, he didn't expect Yang Zhen to have such a trick of cultivating the plank road secretly across Chen Cang, it was really careless.
It turned out that on the way here, Yang Zhen had already thought of the worst possible outcome. But he believes that the soft red mansion must not be clean, and if he wants to let those women from good families obey, there will inevitably be some tough measures. Normally, they would attack the poor women somewhere in the building, such as a secret room or a firewood room.
So after he entered the building, he had an argument with Li Chengji and them with great fanfare, putting all the other party's attention on this, but asked Ruan Tong and Wang Hai to find possible secret rooms and other places of execution.
Sure enough, just when things seemed to be a complete failure, Ruan Tong found a secret room.
"Let's go, go up and see!" Yang Zhen only glanced at Li Chengji, who was a little distracted, and then took the lead to go to the second floor. And he was only halfway up the board, and Ruan Tong's exclamation came from above: "This ...... There's a comatose woman here! ”
This time, Li Chengji's expression became even more panicked, and he looked at Hui Niang hatefully: "You idiot, why didn't you get people out earlier?" ”
"Slave family...... The slaves thought they couldn't find the secret room at all......" Hui Nianghua replied with a disgraced face, but it didn't make any sense.
When Yang Zhen heard this, he suddenly turned back to the other officials and said, "You stay here and watch them." Then he walked quickly to the second floor.
