Dressed as an old woman, I carry the system and my son to escape the famine
Chapter 634 The Secret of the City Gate
"Mrs. Shen, I knew you were the best." Sun Qing grabbed Yao Shu's wrist and started acting coquettishly.
Shen Jianan was stunned by this appearance. He had never seen such a delicate little girl like Sun Qing.
Seeing Shen Jian'an staring at him unblinkingly, he couldn't help but shy away from his sight.
Yao Shu found the brothel's madam, looked at her defensive look, and subconsciously lowered her voice and said, "I'm really sorry. We will compensate you according to the price."
"Compensate according to the price?" The old bustard snorted coldly, "My store is so expensive, I'm afraid I won't be able to compensate you if I sell all of you. I'm not done with you on this matter. I must have someone in official uniform come forward to help me solve it. That’s all.”
Seeing the madam's reluctance, Yao Shu and the others frowned subconsciously.
They still wanted to speak, but the voice of the county magistrate suddenly came from behind them.
"Then can I afford to pay?"
The madam didn't know who was speaking, so she subconsciously wanted to refute. When he turned around and saw that it was the county magistrate, the expression on his face suddenly became serious.
She changed her arrogant and domineering attitude and said with a flattering look on her face: "What are you talking about, Lord County Magistrate? I was just making a joke. My little brothel is not worth much, why bother?" Why are you so angry?"
"I'm really blind. I don't know who I offended. This is an official sent by the imperial court. If you arrest one of their people, you are going against the imperial court." The county magistrate angrily reprimanded.
Hearing this, the madam panicked, and subconsciously collapsed on the ground, starting to cry: "I didn't know her origins were so big, otherwise I wouldn't dare even if you gave me ten courages. Bring her to the brothel."
Hearing this, Sun Qing snorted coldly: "There is nothing you dare not do. Weren't you very arrogant just now? If I remember correctly, you told me that if I don't go to the brothel with you, My parents are going to fall into your hands."
Hearing this, the madam was even more panicked.
"Nothing, nothing. If I knew your status was so noble, I would never dare to do such a thing."
After Sun Qing heard this, he became even more angry: "If you were an ordinary person, would you dare to do such a thing?"
"Of course I don't dare..." The madam knew that she had said the wrong thing, and for a moment she didn't know how to speak.
The county magistrate took advantage of this incident to severely punish the madam and others, and ordered the brothel not to continue to operate.
This brothel can be said to be the largest shop in the entire town, and it pays a lot of taxes every year. Now, the county magistrate has shut down the brothel just because of this trivial matter, which shows how much he attaches importance to Yao Shu and his party.
From this incident, Yao Shu became aware of the county magistrate's determination.
She sighed deeply and came to the side of the county magistrate: "Your Excellency, thank you for your help. In order to thank you for your kindness, we have already agreed to the favor you mentioned before. If you have any If you have time, I hope you can take us to the crime scene to take a look."
The county magistrate was overjoyed: "This is great. Come with me!"
The county magistrate took several of them to a woods, which was only one mile away from the city gate.
If you want to enter the city from the city gate, you will naturally pass by the location of this forest.
"This is a place where murders often occur. No mechanism was found in the woods, and we searched carefully inside and out. Later, we invited several detectives, but we never found anything unusual here. "After the county magistrate said this, he sighed helplessly.
Because of this, he worked very hard.
If an official at a higher level knew that something like this happened here, his official position would definitely be in jeopardy.
Yao Shu took a quick glance and found nothing suspicious.
If you recall carefully, they did not pass through this city gate when they came, but entered through another city gate.
She suddenly thought about whether there was a connection between them, so she turned to look at the county magistrate: "Since these murders occurred, have few people passed through this gate?"
"Yes, everyone knows that many murders have occurred at this city gate. Try to avoid passing by here or even worse, take a direct detour so as not to enter our city." It is for this reason that many people have been lost in the city. Buy and sell.
Yao Shu thought thoughtfully for a moment and said to the county magistrate: "Why don't we use reverse thinking to take a look at the other city gate. Since this gate is closed to people, it means there must be something fishy about the other gate."
Hearing this sentence, the county magistrate suddenly realized.
He said thoughtfully: "A few days ago, there was indeed a family doing business in another city gate. Since the murder, more and more people entered through the other city gate, so his business also declined. It’s getting better.”
"I wonder if I can ask what kind of business it is?" Shen Bei asked curiously.
Unexpectedly, Yao Shu shook his head. He had no idea what kind of business the other party was doing.
"During this period, my mind has been focused on the murder case, and I was completely unaware of the business at the other city gate."
"It doesn't matter, let's go over and take a look and we'll find out." Yao Shu finished speaking and immediately returned to the inn.
She asked everyone to get on the carriage, and after leaving the city, she pretended to have just entered the city.
Originally, Yao Shu did not agree with the county magistrate getting on the bus because too many people knew his appearance. If there is a flaw, their plan will fall short.
But in his heart he insisted on getting in the car. He wanted to figure out what was going on, otherwise he would not be able to feel at ease.
They had to admit that the county magistrate was indeed a good official, at least much better than the officials they had encountered before.
Ling'er also wanted to join in the fun, but the carriage couldn't accommodate so many people.
She could only choose to wait for the return of several people in the inn, and reluctantly watched the carriage leave.
After Yao Shu and others left the city, they walked around outside the city before entering through another gate.
She was worried that just leaving the city and then entering the city would arouse suspicion from others.
They didn't find anything wrong when they entered through the city gate before. This time when they entered again with the purpose in mind, they found something unusual.
"Everyone, come and take a look. Take a look. You can't buy it and suffer a loss. You can't buy it and be fooled!"
Following the sound, I looked carefully and found that this was a place selling health care products.
I saw many products written on the signs outside, which was very eye-catching at first glance.
"Masters, would you like to come over and take a look?"
