Chapter 17 The Madam is Very Polite
The behavior of the masters and servants in the courtyard allowed Jiang Shouzhong to truly feel the tyranny of the local emperor "Yin Yue Lou" up close.
From this, it can be seen that there must be a big figure in the court behind it.
After all, no matter how evil the forces are, it is impossible for them to be so tyrannical and arrogant under the eyes of the imperial court.
Jiang Shouzhong calmed down his complicated emotions, smiled politely at the frosty-faced female guard Xia He, lowered his head and asked He Daya again, "Do you know Ge Dasheng?"
He Daya, whose fear overcame the pain, still hugged Jiang Shouzhong's calf tightly and nodded vigorously, "I know, I know...Guan Ye, please help me."
"Has Ge Dasheng behaved strangely in the past few days? ?”
“I don’t know. Ge Dasheng and I used to have a good relationship, but then we stopped talking to each other...Guan Ye, please save me. They robbed my daughter and now they’re here to kill me. "
Jiang Shouzhong stared into the other person's eyes and asked slowly: "But someone saw that you went to Ge Dasheng's house the day before yesterday."
He Daya endured the pain of his broken finger and replied:
"I'm going to collect a debt. This bastard lent me three taels of silver before and he hasn't paid it back...Guan Ye, please save me. Now that my daughter is missing, they are going to take action on me."
"Then have you seen him?"
"I was lucky enough to be stuck in his house, but this bastard didn't have a penny on him, so I was so angry that I beat him up...Guan Ye save— —”
Pop!
Before he could say the word "I", He Daya's mouth was hit hard by the blade of the knife, breaking two bloody teeth.
Xia He, the female guard in black with a knife in hand, said coldly with a calm and pretty face: "Answer what you deserve. If you talk nonsense one more time, I will cut off your tricks!"
He Daya was shocked, Swallow the broken teeth into your stomach.
Jiang Shouzhong frowned, "Then what?"
"Then I left."
He Daya did not dare to call for help this time.
Jiang Shou was disappointed and asked again, "Did he say anything to you at that time?"
He Daya glanced at the blood-soaked tip of the knife at his side, wincing, and his voice sounded desperate. Weeping sadly, "He said he could get the money to pay me back within three days, but he has said this nonsense thousands of times, so naturally I don't believe it."
Money?
Jiang Shouzhong’s eyes flashed.
Out of professional acumen, Jiang Shouzhong seized this information point and continued to cross-examine: "Did Ge Dasheng tell you how he got the money within three days?"
"It seems that he got a handle on someone and planned to blackmail him. This bastard didn't tell the truth... Officer, why don't you take me back to the Yamen for interrogation."
Blackmail!
A flash of light passed through the man's brain.
Reminiscent of Ge Dasheng running to the remote and uninhabited Wufengguan in the middle of the night, Jiang Shou suddenly made a guess.
Could it be that Ge Dasheng accidentally discovered some secret and planned to blackmail the other party, but was killed instead?
This is quite possible.
Ordinary people will be scared when they see a monster, and they will either report it to the official or pretend that they have not seen it.
But for crazy gamblers who are deeply involved in gambling and only think about how to make money, there is nothing that cannot be blackmailed. It is estimated that even if the God of Wealth descends to earth, he will be blackmailed.
Jiang Shouzhong asked again: "Did he tell you specifically who he wanted to blackmail?"
"No..." He Daya shook his head and begged, "Master, I broke the law. I sold my daughter. Please put me in jail. Please, Lord.”
It is better to believe that there are ghosts in the world than to believe the words of a gambling ghost.
One moment he was innocently accusing others of robbing his daughter, and the next moment he was tearfully regretting that he had sold his daughter at a low price.
Jiang Shouzhong was too lazy to pay attention to the other party's expression and raised his head to look at the woman.
The woman still lowered her head to read, without moving her eyes at all, and asked in a clear and elegant voice, "Are you done asking?"
"You're done."
Jiang Shouzhong nodded slightly, clasped his fists and said, "Thank you, madam."
He wanted to leave, but He Daya always held onto his life-saving straw and refused to let go.
"Master...please...please take me to the Yamen..."
He Daya's tears and nose were mixed together, and his hands with broken fingers tightly hugged Jiang Shouzhong's calf. , the sound of fear was like a cloth torn by the wind, intermittent.
Poof!
The sharp tip of the knife pierced He Daya's shoulder blade and twisted it hard.
He Daya felt pain and let go.
Jiang Shouzhong took the opportunity to break away.
Seeing that there was no hope for help, He Daya had no choice but to place his hope of survival on the woman again, and cried out in pain:
"Madam, I really don't know who I sold that girl to. At that time The man covered his face, left the money and left with my girl. I will pay you back the money you Yinyuelou gave me, please, please forgive me."
Jiang Shouzhong understood what happened. He Daya sold his daughter to Yinyuelou, but after receiving the money, he sold his daughter to someone else.
Quite business-minded.
He is also brave enough that he even dares to tease Yin Yue Tower.
Sure enough, gamblers have reached a certain level of madness, and even the King of Heaven is not afraid of them.
Jiang Shouzhong didn't want to get involved in such a bad thing. Now that he had obtained important clues, there was no need to watch the show. He cupped his fists and said to the graceful woman: "Madam, I'm going to handle the case first, so I won't disturb you anymore." , say goodbye.”
“Wait a minute.”
But just as he turned around, the woman’s cold voice stopped him.
Jiang Shou’s heart thumped.
Turning around with anxiety, he saw the woman taking the identity token handed over by Jiang Shouzhong from the hand of the female guard named "Dong Xue" next to her, and said lightly: "No more?"
Only then did Jiang Shouzhong remember that his identity token was still with the other party.
Jiang Shouzhong secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and quickly came to the woman and stretched out his hands to receive it respectfully, "Thank you, madam."
But just when his hands were about to touch the identity token , the slender jade hand holding the token deliberately moved a few centimeters to the side, missing Jiang Shouzhong's fingertips.
Jiang Shouzhong was stunned and looked up.
The woman with the aura of a superior stared at him with a pair of clear and sharp phoenix eyes, and asked: "Do the dark lights of the six doors care about missing people?"
"This..."
Based on the words he just heard from He Daya's mouth, Jiang Shouzhong understood what the other party meant and said softly, "Cases of missing persons are generally handled by yamen, and Dark Light is only responsible for investigating and dealing with monsters. 'Relevant cases. "
Of course, there was one more thing Jiang Shouzhong didn't dare to say.
You have such a huge dark force in Yin Yue Tower. It is much more efficient to find a missing person than the government.
You can even go directly to the government officials for help.
"Then help me look for it during the investigation. After all, you dark lights mostly deal with people in the world."
The woman said calmly, "The missing woman's name is He Lanlan, she is fifteen years old. , round face, shorter than Dongxue, with a birthmark the size of a copper coin on her left cheek."
After a pause, the woman added:
"This girl is more important to me. I don't expect you to be able to find her, not to mention that we are more efficient than your government in finding people, but after all, there is one more way
It doesn't matter if you can't find her, if you can find any clues about her. , come to the Silver Moon Tower to find me, and I will give you a generous thank you gift when the time comes.”
"Okay, no problem."
Seeing that the other party's attitude was not as domineering as expected, Jiang Shouzhong agreed.
It is not a troublesome thing to find someone during the investigation.
If you are really lucky and find it, you can also develop some friendship with Yinyuelou, which will be good for you in handling cases in the future.
Of course Jiang Shou also knew in the center that the other party did not expect him to really find someone. I just saw his identity as a dark light and gave him a casual instruction.
"Thank you."
The woman handed the identity token back to Jiang Shouzhong.
The lady is very polite.
“You’re welcome, after all, Madam helped me just now.” Jiang Shouzhong smiled and left the courtyard.
Watching the man leave, the woman murmured:
"He looks quite handsome."
She gently closed the erotic novel "Yunxiang Dream" written by the most talented courtesan in the world in the past, recalling the delicate tenderness and the charming love between men and women in the lines. , the voice was a little more delicate, but the words he spat out were chilling to the bones.
“Chop it into pieces.”
Female guard Xia He ignored He Da Ya’s cry and dragged him to a side room.
Listening to the screams in the room, the woman's previously cold beautiful eyes gradually became hazy and blurred, and her slender jade fingers subconsciously clenched the book tightly.
She raised her slender goose neck and looked at the azure sky...
At this moment, the woman only felt hazy and charming, as if separated by a layer of frost and snow, she was indescribably charming.
"Alas..."
For a long time, he managed to let out a long and lazy sound like a sigh.
The skirt is cool.
The female guard Dongxue brought new clothes and was waiting aside.
