Conan's physique? The Crown Princess is involved in a murder case again

The west of the city is poor, and people of some status usually walk around the west of the city. It has never been as lively as it is today.

The Beijing officials, dressed exquisitely, came on horseback, followed by a long line of officers and soldiers behind them, looking very imposing.

Xu Xingyin led the group and walked the same route as the little beggar they bribed in the morning. The group stopped outside a dilapidated courtyard.

"Sir, this is it."

Upon hearing this, the Shuntian prefect ordered, "Search!"

The yard is small and shabby, no different from the surrounding houses.

A group of officers and soldiers searched back and forth two or three times but found nothing unusual.

As a result, the governor of Shuntian Prefecture couldn't help but lose his temper and looked at Xu Xingyin with his eyes wide open in anger.

"Miss Xu Qi! Are you kidding me?"

Xu Xingyin was so focused on the case that he didn't even bother to say anything in rebuttal.

He turned around a few times with his hands folded, then stopped by the well and waved his hand to a yamen runner.

"come here."

The bailiff came over in confusion, but before he could ask anything, Xu Xingyin pushed him into the well.

"what!"

When Shuntian Prefecture Governor saw this, he was horrified and shouted:

"Xu Xingyin! You are murdering the imperial court..."

Before he could finish his sentence, he heard a scream from the fallen yamen runner at the bottom of the well.

"Ah! Sir! There is a road below!"

"..."

The Shuntian prefect was stuck in his tracks, feeling extremely awkward.

Xu Xingyin shrugged innocently.

"My Lord, I am seriously injured and cannot bear the fall again."

The prefect of Shuntian was speechless. He ordered everyone to go down the well together, and then tied a rope around Xu Xingyin and let him down.

At the bottom of the well is a square stone chamber.

Right in front of the entrance, there is a huge stone archway with a plaque hanging on it, with four words on it:

Heaven on earth.

Following the order from the Shuntian prefect, the yamen runners filed in, quickly opened the door and rushed in.

The small space inside the arch looks very much like the dungeon of a government office.

The scarred girls were locked in small cubicles, covered in scars.

There were also several girls in the cubicles who had already died, but the ferocious men were still whipping them with long whips.

It was not convenient for Xu Xingyin, a girl, to go in, so she could only wait at the door.

After the Shuntian prefect and his men had the situation under control, he slowly walked in and saw the tragic situation inside.

Most of the girls inside were under the age of marriage. The girls in their teens suffered such torture day and night. Except for those who died, most of the others were unconscious and screamed loudly when they saw people.

Xu Xingyin couldn't bear to see them like this, so he asked the governor of Shuntian Prefecture to prepare some clothes. He put them on one by one and comforted them softly.

In the compartment at the end of the corridor, the girl with slightly dark skin couldn't help but shiver when she was wrapped in clothes by Xu Xingyin.

Xu Xingyin gently touched her head and whispered to comfort her.

"It's okay."

It was a very ordinary sentence, but it made the girl burst into tears instantly.

She hugged Xu Xingyin in fear, her body shaking like a sieve.

If it is said that when Xu Xingyin first learned about the Music Management Hall, he only wanted to take revenge on the Qin family.

Now, she finally understood the greatest significance of this move.

It is light.

Let these girls who have been through so much and live in darkness regain their light.

……

After coming out of "Heaven on Earth", Xu Xingyin couldn't help crying.

Seeing that she looked really bad, the prefect of Shuntian Prefecture ordered someone to send her back to the back hall of Shuntian Prefecture to live.

After all, with so many people arrested at once, Shuntian Prefecture will have a lot to do in the next two days!

Xu Xingyin, on the other hand, was not so anxious.

The "Heaven on Earth" case in the west of the city came like a bolt from the blue, causing unrest in the peaceful capital.

Most of the "guests" who were arrested could not afford to go to brothels.

There are grooms, cooks, bodyguards, and all kinds of people making a living.

Of course, there are also some scholars who care about their reputation and some businessmen who are greedy for "novelty".

Most of the girls inside are from poor families.

Because the girls were from poor families, they were sold to human traffickers to be maids in wealthy families. However, they did not expect that they would be locked up in Tianshang Renjian.

The rest were the shopkeepers and guards of Tianshang Renjian.

In order to solve the case quickly, the governor of Shuntian Prefecture took no time at all this time.

Several stubborn people were beaten half to death, and finally someone couldn't stand it anymore and gave up the boss behind the scenes.

Once one person confessed, the others naturally followed suit in order to reduce their sentences.

According to their account, the boss of Tianshang Renjian is Qin Yi Niang's brother, Qin Hao, a sixth-rank official in Beijing.

The Dayan Law stipulates that there is a very strict set of procedures for opening an entertainment venue, and huge amounts of taxes and levies must be paid every year.

Qin Hao was greedy for money, so he came up with this insidious trick.

He sold young girls at low prices under the guise of human traffickers and opened music halls in places where the government rarely checked.

It was opened secretly, firstly to preserve his official reputation, and secondly to avoid excessive taxes.

Because it was opened secretly, it was not uncommon for the guests inside to act inappropriately.

The servants working inside were also very ruthless. Even if a girl lost her life, no one would make it public.

Tianshang Renjian has been open for many years. Qin Hao has made a lot of money from it, and has also accumulated many murder lawsuits.

The group of people who originally went to hunt down Xu Xingyin were the guards Qin Hao temporarily transferred from Tianshang Renjian.

Aunt Qin originally just wanted her brother to get rid of Xu Xingyin for her to prevent future troubles.

Unexpectedly, Qin Hao had other ideas of his own. He ordered his men to capture Xu Xingyin and lock him up in Tianshang Renjian, so as to add something "fresh" to the guests.

This is also the reason why Aunt Qin dared to be so confident at the beginning.

Thanks to this, Xu Xingyin had the opportunity to fight back later.

The imperial court appointed officials to secretly set up music houses and disregard human lives.

No matter which crime it is, it is enough to destroy the Qin family.

Qin Hao, who initially showed off his power, eventually bowed his head in the face of numerous hard evidences.

He seemed to have aged ten years overnight.

But Aunt Qin slowly came to her senses and was no longer afraid.

Although she is a daughter of the Qin family, she is obliged to obey her husband after marriage, and now she belongs to the Duke's Mansion!

While Aunt Qin was feeling proud of herself, Xu Xingyin had already prepared a backup plan.

The divorce letter written by Duke Xu himself was delivered that night.

When she saw the divorce letter, Aunt Qin subconsciously grabbed the letter and tried to stuff it into her mouth.

Xu Xingyin calmly watched her swallow the rice paper with difficulty and asked kindly.

"Have you eaten enough? I have more here."

Aunt Qin no longer has the domineering attitude she had when we first met.

Wearing prison uniform, with red eyes, chapped lips and disheveled hair, he knelt on the ground and tried to pull at the corner of Xu Xingyin's clothes.

"Seventh Miss, I beg you, can you please go and ask the master for mercy? As long as the master doesn't divorce me, I will obey you in everything from now on!"

"Mrs. Qin has always been domineering, relying on the Qin family behind her. Now that the Qin family has fallen, what value do you have to use?"

"I begged you so much, why did you want to kill me all? How could you be so cruel!"

"Answer me a question honestly, and maybe I can spare your life."

"What's the matter?"

"What token do you want from the Zhennan General's Mansion?"
