Chapter 22 Evil in the Sun

In the early morning of June 17, a middle-aged man in luxurious clothes came to the government office of Gyeonggi Province. When those government officials saw that the people came, they did not dare to neglect to ask each other's identity and intentions immediately. The man took out a famous post and handed it over. When someone looked at it, he was even more shocked. On the one hand, he invited people to the government office in the future, and on the other hand, someone had already gone in to report to the governor Lu Bingqing.

The identity of the visitor is not low. He is the head of the Miao family, one of the medieval families in Beijing, Miao Xianzhang. And the Miao family has a close relationship with the Wu family among the seven masters, so they naturally dare not treat him slowly. When this person was introduced to the second hall to watch tea, Lu Bingqing, the governor of Gyeonggi Province, was already waiting there.

"What happened when Brother Miao came to my capital early in the morning? But is there any theft at home? After two words of greeting, Lu Bingqing went straight to the point. He could see that Miao Xianzhang's expression was very ugly. It seemed that something big had happened to him, but it was difficult for him to ask directly. He had to ask such a gossip first.

Miao Xianzhang was obviously tossed by this big problem. At this time, he no longer cared about his own face and said bluntly: "Miao is here to report the case to Lord Yin. The little girl Miao Keke didn't know her whereabouts after she went out the day before yesterday and night.

"What? Miss Miao has been missing for more than a day? At this time, Lu Bingqing did not dare to be careless any more. Hearing this, he sat up straight and asked in surprise, "Why didn't Brother Miao report the case to the government until now?"

"At the beginning, when the little girl was only playful, she didn't pay much attention to it... But who knew that she had been there for more than a day, and then my family knew that things were not good..." Miao Xianzhang immediately gave his reason, but there were many flaws in Lu Bingqing's ears.

Lu Bingqing has been an old official of the governor of the capital for many years. In addition to being good at thinking about the balance of forces, he is also quite insightful in solving cases. Miao Xianzhang could see that when the other party said this, his eyes flashed, his words were eager, and he was deliberately hiding something. Moreover, for a big family like the Miao family, it is enough for them to toss around if they don't return overnight. How can they come to the government to report the case after a full day and one night? There must be some hidden situation in it.

However, this matter should have nothing to do with the loss of Miao Keke, so Lu Bingqing did not point out the matter on the spot, but said in embarrassment, "Now that things have passed day and night, it is a little difficult for us to investigate."

"I hope the Gyeonggi government will do its best! My Coco has made a marriage with the young master Sun of the Wu family. If something happens to her, I'm afraid it's not easy to explain to the Wu family. Miao Xianzhang saw that the other party was embarrassed, so he said another sentence.

Lu Bingqing smiled bitterly in his heart, and the other party was suppressing himself with the Wu family. However, not to mention the Wu family, this Miao family, which is not included in the seven masters, is not something that can be offended by a Jingji government. After a moment of silence, Lu Bingqing nodded and said, "In this case, I should do my best. However, I still have to ask Brother Miao about some things. I hope you must tell the truth. This is related to whether you can find someone back.

"If you ask, I will know all about it."

"Okay!" After drinking a sip of tea to moisten his throat, Lu Bingqing said, "The day before yesterday was the moonlight party once a month in Daliang. How many light markets did Miss Miao watch the lights?"

"Yes, according to the maid next to her, she did go to watch the lamp."

"Did Miss Miao go out alone or with other attendants?"

"With two close-fitting maids. Because the public security in the capital has always been good, we don't care too much about it. It's difficult for our daughter to take a walk on the street.

"Did those two maids come back afterwards?"

"No, they are also missing like Coco. After the incident, we were also worried that the two maids colluded with outsiders to do this, so we went to their residence to investigate, but nothing was found out.

"I will also send people from the government office to investigate this point. At that time, I hope Brother Miao can take care of it more." Lu Bingqing said and asked, "What about Miss Miao's dress when she goes out?"

"She wore a long light blue skirt and didn't wear any jewelry. She said it was inconvenient to go out."

"That means that Miss Miao's dress doesn't look like a rich lady? Except for two maids around her?

"That should be right." After making this answer, Miao Xianzhang's face suddenly changed: "Does the adults suspect that those people have done their hands and feet?"

"It's hard to say this now. We have to rule out the fact that the maid and outsiders hijacked the lady before we can make a basic conclusion on this matter. And once it's really as we thought, it's under those people, I'm afraid things will be really tricky. Lu Bingqing's face is also a little ugly.

"Your Excellency, the safety of my cocoa is all in your Jingji Prefecture. You must help me save people. No matter what the price is, my Miao family is willing to pay!" After knowing that some terrible force may have taken his daughter away, Miao Xianzhang, who was calm, was also a little panicked.

"Master Miao, don't worry, since it is a problem under the jurisdiction of our Gyeonggi Province, I will do my best to save people. Wang Guben," Lu Bingqing said loudly, and a shrewd and capable man ran over. Then he continued, "Take a few brothers to his house with Master Miao and carefully inquire about the people and things there to see if Miss Miao's lost clues there."

"Yes, humble command!" Wang Guben immediately strode out to call all the available subordinates. And Miao Xianzhang also left in a hurry after arching his hand to Lu Bingqing. After watching them leave, Lu Bingqing's eyebrows frowned deeply. Through this answer, he was 80% sure that it was done by those people, and in this way, the experience of this woman named Miao Keke was not good. Even if he could save people, I'm afraid...

"Your Excellency..." A familiar and old voice sounded beside him when he pinched his eyebrows. Lu Bingqing opened his eyes and looked at Li Zhengfeng, the most trusted master in front of him, and smiled and said, "Mr. Li should have understood the reason for this matter just now. What do you think of this? ?"

Li Zhengfeng sat in the chair on the other side and shook his head and said, "Your Excellency, in fact, I have been urging you to do something to those people these days. But you always refuse to do so for various reasons, which will be the disaster today.

"Hey, I didn't expect those people to do such a thing until these people made such a disaster... It's really a little late to regret it now." With a helpless sigh, Lu Bingqing said with emotion.

"These people have done a lot of evil things in the capital, and our Gyeonggi government should deal with them all. But the adults put off this matter for various reasons. Don't you worry that they will eventually do something that we can't clean up?

"Hey... You and I know what kind of power there is behind them. I always thought that they would only do some evil on ordinary people, but I didn't expect that they were so bold that they reached out to the world."

"In fact, this is a matter of time. These people have grown very much because of the condoning of adults and the support of the forces behind them. And with the expansion of their power, the demand naturally increases. At that time, it is inevitable to have a conflict with the family, but I didn't expect things to come so quickly. Li Zhengfeng sighed and said, "You should know that most of these people do not follow the king's law and are desperate at their own expense!"

Hearing this, Lu Bing cleared his regret and was not shocked. He knew that he really underestimated these forces that could not be seen on the table and had been hiding in the dark.

For hundreds of years, although Chengping of the Song Dynasty still had the trouble of northern Hu and southern barbarism, the whole Central Plains was basically peaceful. Daliang City, which is located at the hub of the Central Plains, is naturally richer. There are millions of people in the city, and all kinds of facilities around the big city are also very perfect.

However, the development of the city is not all good, and there are some negative things that have been covered by shiny surface scenes. For example, the gap between the rich and the poor, such as the security problem in some poor gathering places.

And the government has never been very careful about the gathering place of the poor, as long as they protect the rights and interests of the rich. In this way, some corners of the capital are bound to produce some dark forces. Based on those places that the government does not pay attention to at all, they slowly develop and eventually spread all over the capital.

With the further development of the family and the complete suppression of imperial power, many of them have also colluded with these underground forces to seek their own greater interests. And those underground forces were also more unscrupulous because of the protection of these family forces, and finally really controlled the dark forces in Daliang City. It can be said that when night falls, it is these characters hiding in the dark that the whole Daliang City can really speak.

However, these guys also know that their power is just parasites, which is really inferior to the power of the court and the government. So when they are evil, there is also a clear difference. They dare to do anything to ordinary people, or people who have some money but no power. However, for those big families or officials in the court, they all retreat and never provoke them.

In this way, even if the victimized people go to the government, no one will accept these cases, and those who really have the ability to deal with them ignore them because they are none of their own business. This makes the dark forces in Daliang City even bigger and makes the people suffer even more.

"I have thought about dealing with them before, but there will always be someone to plead with them, so that the Gyeonggi government can't do anything." After meditating for a long time, Lu Bingqing sighed again.

"Now that this has happened, it seems that we can't ask!" At this time, Li Zhengfeng no longer pestered the past, but aimed at the present: "What is the adult going to do?"

"It's okay to say that it involves the Miao family, but once the Wu family is involved, we have to be serious, otherwise I'm afraid we can't explain the past." Lu Bingqing weighed and said, "Do you know who will do this?"

"It should be the work of the Black Panther Gang, who have always been haunted in the south of the city. In the past six months, many daughters in Beijing have had an accident in the southern boundary of the city. Because of the rules in the government, they have never asked. Li Zhengfeng immediately gave his own judgment: "And I heard that the new leader of the Black Panther Gang is a lecherous man, and he also likes to rob some yellow flowers and daughters for her** to enjoy..."

"These people are so damned that they dare to do such a bad thing in the capital!" Lu Bingqing's face was also full of anger, and he immediately showed cruelty: "This time, we must uproot the Black Panther Gang and eliminate harm for the people!"

Li Zhengfeng smiled helplessly. His governor is indeed pitiful. There are such evil people under his rule, but because their involvement with the big family can only be left alone. Now it is difficult to seize the opportunity that he dares to die. Then he asked, "So what is the lord going to do?"

"Wait for Wang Guben to come back from the Miao family first. If it's really the work of the Panther Gang, it's not too late for us to try to eradicate them!" Lu Fuyin, who had just emerged, softened again, and he had too many scruples.

At noon, Wang Guben came back and reported the information asked by the Miao family. Miao Ke did not come back, and all the signs showed that the Miss Miao had indeed been robbed, so the answer was very clear.

Lu Bingqing did not dare to neglect. When hundreds of government officials in the government were summoned, he took them straight to a nest of the Black Panther Gang in the south of the city and killed them. In fact, as these dark forces become more and more powerful, they can no longer hide in small gathering places for the poor, but appear in the light. This is naturally understood by the Gyeonggi government, which is the civil management of the capital, so it is not difficult to deal with these dark forces.

However, this time's result shocked and disgrow the whole of Gyeonggi Province. When they killed the nest of the Black Panther Gang, they found that there was no one there. Those gangs of the Black Panther Gang who had been hiding in it, gambling, or humiliating the woman who was abted were not there today!

At this time, Lu Bingqing was even more angry. Usually, even if you want to do something evil, the nest of the Black Panther Gang can't be empty, but today when the government dispatched people to destroy them, there was no one here. There was only one statement. Someone communicated with them early, allowing the Black Panthers to slip away earlier. And nine out of ten, this whistleblower is still in his own capital. How can Lu Bingqing not be annoyed?

And another thing that followed turned Lu Bingqing's anger into fear. The next day when they besieged and suppressed the black panther and didn't know what to do, a female corpse suddenly floated in the Bian River outside the city.

After being identified by her family, the identity of the female corpse was revealed - it was Miao Keke, the young lady of the Miao family! This time, not only did the Miao family refuse to give up, but even the people of the Wu family also sent a message to the Jingji Mansion, ordering Lu Bingqing and others to arrest the criminals with all their strength. No matter who was involved, they should deal with the murder!

In this way, it gives Gyeonggi Province a stronger reason to deal with the Black Panther Gang. However, after the other party silenced his mouth, he could obviously imagine that he would be treated hard by the imperial government, so he dispersed early in the morning and disappeared in all corners of the city with a million people, leaving the Gyeonggi government completely helpless.

However, the pressure above is still there. Lu Bingqing had to dispatch all the people of the Gyeonggi Province to investigate the whole capital, and he must catch the Black Panther Gang. However, seven or eight days later, it had little effect. Although some gangsters who used to be the Black Panther Gang were caught, none of them really held important positions in the gang were found, not to mention the jade leopard, the leader of the Panther Gang, who may have killed Miao Keke.

The case could not be closed for such a long time, which put more pressure on Lu Bingqing. Even Wu Jingzi, the head of the Wu family, sent a message to him. The deadline is the end of June, and the Black Panther Gang must be eradicated. However, after all, there are too many people in the capital that Lu Bingqing can't afford to provoke, which makes his investigation very difficult. Seeing that it was June 22nd, he still got nothing. In desperation, he had to constantly order his men to visit them day and night, especially in the south of the city, which became their key area.

And when the whole capital was restless by this incident, Xu Jinghong and his brothers quietly rested in the yard they rented.

Although many people want to help him seek a position in the court as soon as possible, it is difficult for him to have such a chance to rise to power immediately because of the mutual constraints between family forces. Xu Jinghong, who was well-evident that he would be beaten if he had no power in the capital, lived a simple life and became an otaku with 20 brothers.

Fortunately, the house is big enough and the backyard is spacious enough. Brothers can still practice fists and feet in it, otherwise they will really suffocate people to death. But even so, after more than ten days, everyone still couldn't stand such grievances, so they asked Xu Jinghong to let everyone go out for a night.

"Okay, let's go and play. However, remember not to make trouble. Even if someone provokes us, we must be patient for the time being. It's not too late to revenge when we have our own power!" Xu Jinghong finally agreed and took everyone out of the house.

Just when they decided to go to the Yanhui Building in front of them for a good meal and then go to the Chu Hall of the brothel to relax, as soon as they went out, they heard a sharp shout at the corner: "Help! Help! Someone wants to kill me!"
