Chapter Thirty-Seven: The Situation of Continued Rampage
"Knock knock!"
There was a knock on the door, which immediately made Xiao Feng get up from his busy work.
She glanced at the door, and couldn't help but show a little displeasure: "Come in." ”
The door was pushed open, Yang Chenglong stepped into the room, and when he saw Xiao Feng's serious appearance, he felt as if his heart was being caught, and he bowed to him, and then said: "If you disturb the lord, please forgive me for being rude." ”
"Tell me, what's the matter with me?"
Xiao Feng just glanced at it, and it was the document that fell back in front of the desk.
It seems that for her, the person in front of her is far less interesting than the words on these papers.
Yang Chenglong looked stunned for a moment, and then replied: "This ——, also ask the lord to forgive me for being rude, I think that about the Qingyun Gang, what you did before is really too much." Shouldn't we take it a little bit?" He knew that Xiao Feng didn't like to beat around the bush, so he directly expressed his doubts.
"What do you mean?"
Dropping the brush in his hand, Xiao Feng finally raised his head, his dark pupils swept over the person in front of him, but he felt cold in his heart.
To be honest, Xiao Feng also admired the people in front of him, but the people in front of him also argued against those guys, and he really felt extremely disappointed.
Yang Chenglong was obviously a little scared, and hurriedly lowered his head and complained: "Lord Qiqi, it's not that I have bad intentions, it's really because if this matter continues to expand, I'm afraid that it will lead to the loss of the country's capital, and I'm afraid that it will be another disaster when the time comes!"
"What do you mean?"
Xiao Feng asked with dissatisfaction, if the other party couldn't say a reason, he would really take it down and punish him.
Yang Chenglong felt extremely nervous, and hurriedly replied: "This." Your Majesty must also know that our dynasty is now at the most critical time in its development. Not only is the third phase of the railway project being planned, but the new steel mill will also need a lot of money. The most important thing is that the newly captured land of the Five Roads also urgently needs a large number of officials to govern. If too many officials are dismissed at this time, it will certainly cause problems for these things. ”
"Is that all?"
Xiao Feng's heart moved slightly, and there was a slight fluctuation in his calm mood.
To be honest, she didn't have much affection for those officials, and she also understood what this group of officials had in mind, and the reason why they didn't rectify it before was because the external environment was too bad, so they put compromise first.
Now that the DPRK has just stabilized, Xiao Feng plans to take advantage of this Qingyun Gang incident to suppress it, so as not to let this group of guys become too rampant.
Yang Chenglong was a little relieved, and persuaded again: "That's right." And it's better to block it than to sparse it, if it is forcibly suppressed, I'm afraid it will cause their dissatisfaction. When the time comes, if they are directly under the command of the Mongols or the Song Dynasty, what will happen? After all, we are far from being as stable as Mount Tai!"
"That being the case, but what if these guys continue to behave recklessly?"
Xiao Feng snorted lightly and shouted again: "And you should know why what this Qingyun Gang has done makes me so angry?"
"Do you run brothels and human trafficking?" Yang Chenglong was stunned.
Since Xiao Feng moved into Chang'an, although there is no prohibition on this matter, in fact, he has always maintained opposing opinions, not only ordering officials to prohibit prostitution, but also suppressing those prostitutes.
Although the Qingyun Gang set up a brothel, due to the suppression of the Red Phoenix Army, there have not been enough prostitutes, so they were forced to embark on the road of human trafficking.
Xiao Feng sneered and said, "That's right. That's why I'm going to abolish brothels and crack down on human trafficking. ”
"Isn't this too much?" Yang Chenglong was stunned, and he couldn't figure out why his lord had such a thought.
Xiao Feng laughed contemptuously: "Ha! Since I entered Chang'an, I have restrained these bureaucrats and forbade them from soliciting prostitution. Now it's just dismissal, which is already cheap. However, these guys, knowing that this matter is wrong, still turn a blind eye, how can this be explained?"
Yang Chenglong was stunned, and he couldn't help but be stunned, and thought to himself: "This, I thought that the main guild would stop here, how can it feel like it has expanded?"
Listening to what Xiao Feng said, Yang Chenglong felt ridiculous.
Erotic sex also, as a man, the desire for women is simply difficult to contain, otherwise where would the so-called beauties come from?
Even if these high-ranking officials and nobles are still like this, the low-level people naturally can't avoid it, if they get some spare money, they will naturally run to the brothel to live a happy life.
The actions of these people are that the official prostitutes organized by the government can amass a lot of wealth in a short period of time.
Xiao Feng snorted lightly and said again, "What's the matter?"
"This-" Yang Chenglong felt the pressure increase, and he almost couldn't breathe.
For this matter, he didn't dare to take it seriously according to his thoughts, otherwise he would definitely offend the lord, after all, his lord was a woman, and if he said those nonsense words, he would be suspected of committing a crime.
"Since you can't say it, then don't continue to meddle in this matter, or I will drive you out. Xiao Feng scoffed and directly issued an eviction order.
Yang Chenglong was discouraged, but he was unwilling to give up, and said: "My lord." I know you've always wanted to improve women's treatment, but don't you want to abolish brothels. ”
Because of gender, Xiao Feng has been constantly promoting the status of women since she became the owner of Chang'an.
Not only did it set up a special school for girls so that those women could have the opportunity to study, but it even opened up the imperial examination so that women could also enter the court and become officials. These things were not without criticism, but they were suppressed by Xiao Feng, and they could only accept the matter.
"Huh!
Glancing at Yang Chenglong with contemptuous eyes, Xiao Feng complained: "Since you know my intentions, why should you stop it? If you want to improve the status of women, the only way to do so is to let women have independent financial resources first. It is for this reason that I opened up the technology of the textile machine and promoted it vigorously in the city, so that many women can also go out of the house and work independently. Have you forgotten that?"
Yang Chenglong was surprised and didn't know what to say.
Xiao Feng continued: "But there are always women who think that working so hard in the factory is really not as fast as lying in bed. But did they ever know that the brothel was an infernal hell at all, and if they stepped into it, where would their personal freedom come from? For example, the Qingyun Gang, in the name of wealth and nobility, did not know how many women had been harmed. ”
"Well, I don't have to be so harsh. ”
At this time, Yang Chenglong forgot his purpose and continued to persuade.
Xiao Feng sneered: "If it weren't so strict, how could we stop this limelight? If we let the people know, we bureaucrats have become the protectors of the guy who has scourged their children, and what face do we have to face them?"
If there is a plan, then it will naturally be completed, in Xiao Feng's dictionary, there is no half-decadent plan.
Fu glanced at Yang Chenglong again, and Xiao Feng instructed again: "As for you, you should take care of your own affairs, don't be used as a gunman by others, and become a target for no reason, you know?"
"I understand. ”
Yang Chenglong's heart tightened, he already knew that Xiao Feng had already seen through his thoughts, so he had to apologize and leave from here.
Watching Yang Chenglong leave, Xiao Feng leaned back on the chair with a little tiredness, but he was thinking in his heart: "It's just that where did this Qingyun Gang have so much energy that they dare to disobey my orders and continue to open a brothel?
But he was a little annoyed in his heart, if he could capture that Situ Yun alive at that time, maybe there would be no need to be so passive.
"No matter what. Since that person has done such a thing, there must be traces of it, and it is impossible to erase them all. Now, they can only let Wang Lu keep an eye on them first. With a firm mind, Xiao Feng immediately issued an order to Wang Lu, ordering him to interrogate the people captured from the Qingyun Gang.
——————
Central Police Station.
Staying in the interrogation room, Wang Lu looked at Li Kui with a serious face and shouted, "Tell me, why did you slaughter the textile factory?"
"Hmph. Kill it, kill it, what's there to ask?" Li Kui turned his head and looked deaf.
Wang Lu was annoyed and opened his mouth to scold: "What a guy. Do you know what you have committed? A family of thirteen was killed by you like this, do you know how serious the crime you have committed?"
"Huh. Then you think that guy is really innocent, and the white one is the same as the white lotus?" Li Kui scoffed, and there was no regret that should exist.
Wang Lu was shocked, although the other party admitted it calmly, but there was a little chill behind him, and he couldn't help but open his mouth and scolded: "You are simply not worthy of being called a person, and you have no regrets at all." ”
"Haha. You're really like this, and you're in a bunch of people who will only oppress us. Li Kui grinned and couldn't stop laughing, just like a madman.
Wang Lu couldn't bear it, and immediately stood up, but he planned to go into battle in person and teach the other party a good lesson.
At this time, Mo Ling walked out and dragged Wang Lu out of the police station directly.
Wang Lu was dissatisfied and shouted, "I was about to teach him a lesson, what are you dragging me for?"
"If I don't drag you, you will definitely beat the other party half to death, and if someone stabs him and says that you are abusing lynching, it will be troublesome. Mo Ling persuaded.
"Then let that guy be so arrogant?" Wang Lu still shouted angrily: "You also know that since that guy dares to do such a thing, he has no fear. And the textile mill is heavily guarded, how can he do it alone? If I don't kill his morale, how can he give in?"
"Director Wang, of course I know about this. Otherwise, why would the lord let us continue to investigate? Isn't it just that we want to find out the backer behind this Qingyun Gang through this person?" Mo Ling explained: "Director Wang. Even if you are angry, the other party is unlikely to repent. Why don't you let me talk to the other party and touch the other person's mind. In this case, you may be able to find out the other party's cause. ”
"Well, then I'll leave this matter to you. ”
It was easy for Wang Lu to suppress his anger and instructed Mo Ling.
Mo Ling nodded and replied, "That's nature!" Immediately returned to the interrogation room, in the dark prison, the other party was still so crazy, but Mo Ling was not as irritable as Wang Lu, with a kind smile on his face.
"Your name is Li Kui, right!"
After looking at the file in his hand, Mo Ling raised his eyes, looked at Li Kui, and complained: "According to our investigation, you should have an older sister whose name is Li Li." Right. ”
"That's right. Why do you ask this?" Li Kui narrowed his eyes slightly, feeling inexplicable.
Mo Ling smiled: "It's nothing, it's just curious." After all, according to our investigation, the reason why you were able to enter Chongwen Academy is because of your sister's support, right?"
"That's right. ”
Seeing that the other party mentioned this, Li Kui's face became gloomy, and he no longer had the same angry appearance as before.
Mo Ling replied: "As for your sister Li Li, she entered the textile factory as a weaver, and it is because of this that she supports your tuition fees in Chongwen Academy. As for the textile factory where she works, it's the Daxing Textile Factory where you created the bloodbath, right?"
Li Kuidun was angry and said sarcastically: "You group of people, in order to investigate this matter, you really do everything." ”
"Naturally. Otherwise, how can we restore the truth and get to the root of everything?" Mo Ling smiled, didn't care much, his eyes suddenly sharpened, and asked, "Very good." Then tell me, why did you want to wash the Daxing Textile Factory in blood, is it because your sister died in this textile factory?"
This statement immediately struck Li Kui's heart.
He looked stunned, and two lines of tears flowed down, revealing a bit of grief and indignation: "That's right." Just because of that damn thing, my sister works all day long, and she doesn't have time to rest at all. She was only twenty years old, and as a result, her hair was gray and her back was stiff. Until the end, I just died in front of my eyes. ”
"Indeed, this is our negligence. Mo Ling was gloomy, revealing a little ashamed.
Li Kui didn't appreciate it, and opened his mouth to scold: "Hehe." What's the use of saying a few apologies afterwards? It's not that I can't prevent my sister from dying, so I kill them to avenge my sister. What's wrong with that?"
"It's just that it's really difficult for you to complete this alone, so you joined the Qingyun Gang?" Mo Ling's eyes drooped, revealing a little sympathy.
Li Kui smiled: "That's right. Since I can't count on you, I have no choice but to take refuge in them. After all, you guys don't do anything, so you just ride on the horses and show off your might. At this moment, he did not hide the ridicule in his heart, as if the entire police station was a complete waste.
Mo Ling knew that it would be difficult to reverse the misunderstanding in the other party's heart, so he didn't make any unnecessary excuses in this regard, and continued to ask: "And in order to cover up the facts of the crime, you put this matter on Wang Xing's head to mislead us into suspecting Chongwen Academy?
"That's right. I just didn't expect your nose to be so sensitive that it actually tracked down my head?" Li Kui was also surprised.
The whole plan, he planned quite well, but who expected that Zhang Mao still caught the clues and came directly to the door, which led to many things later.
Mo Ling sighed secretly, and said, "Alas, you are quite willing to do this for your sister." But don't you feel sorry for it? She works so hard to get ahead, not to do this kind of thing?"
"It's done. You think I'm going to be scared?"
At this moment, Li Kui obviously showed a bit of regret and unwillingness.
Mo Ling saw it in his eyes, and he also felt a pity, and said: "It doesn't matter if you are afraid or not. After all, you, as the mastermind, should know what punishment will be, but at the end of the day, I want you to be honest. What is this Qingyun Gang doing secretly?"
