"What? The warehouse of Jinming Trading Company was seized by the Donggang Supervision Office, and its bank account was also frozen. Lu Xing and several stewards were all arrested by the Donggang Supervision Office?"
The next evening, Li Chaoming, the director of the Jinyang District police station, was shocked by the "bad news" that his wife had just told him when he had just unbuttoned his police uniform.
Li Chaoming's wife was sobbing beside him. Her makeup was ruined by her tears. She even grabbed Li Chaoming's sleeves, "Hurry up, get my brother out of there. That Department of Supervision of Donggang could even chop off the head of the governor's son. They're so ferocious. If anything happens to my brother in there, I'll die too.
"Don't cry. Why are you crying? Tell me, where did you get the news?" Li Chaoming asked.
The woman quickly stopped crying. However, she still sobbed, "It's... it's a guy who was in charge of the warehouse who told me about it... If he hadn't come back, I wouldn't have known that Jinming Trading Company was in trouble... That guy said that all the people in the trading company were arrested... He was also arrested by the Donggang Supervision Office... Later, the Donggang Supervision Office interrogated him and recorded a statement for him, then... then he was released. That's why he came back to report the news!"
"Motherf * cker, rebel, rebel …" Li Chaoming swore with a ferocious look. Even the fat on his face was quivering. "I didn't find trouble for them, but they found trouble for me. What right does the Supervision Department of Donggang have to seal the warehouse of Jinming Trading Company? If they dare to do that, I will never let them off!"
"According to that guy... this morning, before noon, a large number of people from the Donggang Supervision Office suddenly came to search the warehouse of Jinming Trading Company. The Donggang Supervision Office said that they received a tip-off that there were prohibited items in the warehouse, so they started to search... Then, when the Donggang Supervision Office searched the warehouse, they found several boxes of guns and some ammunition in the warehouse... Therefore, the Donggang Supervision Office seized the warehouse and arrested them!"
"Guns and ammunition?" Li Chaoming's head buzzed. As a police director, he certainly knew what it meant to find guns and ammunition in the warehouse. In Shang Jing City, it was a serious crime to hide guns and ammunition. He was stunned for quite a while before he responded, "Where did they come from?"
"You're asking me … Who should I ask? Anyway, it was found in the warehouse. Did you ask Lu Xing to put it there?" The woman sobbed and asked, "I don't care. My brother is working for you. If something happens to him, you have to get him out …"
"Bullsh * t. Why would I ask Lu Xing to put the guns and ammunition in the warehouse? There are plenty of those things in the police warehouse. Why would I want those things?" Li Chaoming angrily paced back and forth at home. His heart trembled at the thought of Xia Pingan's bloody battle on the long street that day.
Ever since Li Chaoming heard the news that Xia Pingan had left the Judgement Army's Ping Mountain Barracks this afternoon, he had a bad feeling. He had sources in the Judgement Army and heard that Xia Pingan had not only been praised by Lord Di Long of the Supreme Court, but had also been rewarded with a Judgement Scepter by Lin Yi, the commander of the Judgement Army.
The Judgement Army and the Supreme Court had already determined that Xia Pingan's Divine Hound could track down the murderer of the QF women. Therefore, Xia Pingan broke into the Huang Mansion and killed Huang Wei on the street. Was this a fair enforcement of the law?
The only thing Li Chaoming didn't expect was that Xia Pingan's revenge would come so quickly.
Damn, Xia Pingan should have just returned to the Inspection Department in the morning, and then immediately seized his warehouse. If this wasn't revenge, then what was?
It was impossible to put guns in his warehouse. Even if there were guns, the timing of the inspection by the Donggang Inspection Department was too damn coincidental. Therefore, this matter was "obvious". It was Xia Pingan who was playing tricks and framing him.
However, it was useless for Li Chaoming to know about this matter. Everything depended on evidence. The Inspection Department had "caught both the culprit and the stolen goods" when they searched the warehouse. All the evidence was with the Inspection Department. Other people could do whatever they wanted.
Li Chaoming didn't expect that in just two days, Xia Pingan would get the Judgement Scepter and become a popular person in the Judgement Army. Moreover, Xia Pingan had pinched his sore spot.
To be honest, Li Chaoming wasn't afraid of Xia Pingan, who had bravely broken into the Huang Mansion and fought a bloody battle on the street. There were too many experts in Shang Jing City, and they didn't lack one or two hotheads.
However, the "despicable and shameless" Xia Pingan, who could throw guns into his warehouse and then bring people to seal the warehouse, made Li Chaoming afraid from the bottom of his heart. The latter meant that Li Chaoming had provoked a ruthless person who would do anything to achieve his goal. This kind of person was definitely not someone you could fool with morality and law.
Thinking back to the day when he intercepted Xia Pingan's group on the street, Li Chaoming already regretted. The benefits that the Huang Family gave him were completely disproportionate to the loss this time. Thinking about the famous wine and silk in the two warehouses, which were worth at least hundreds of thousands of gold coins, Li Chaoming felt like his flesh was cut off.
"If you didn't offend the Donggang Inspection Department, offend the inspector … Lu Xing wouldn't have been caught …" The woman continued to cry.
"Don't cry, I'll think of a way …" Li Chaoming shouted. He didn't say anything to the woman. He buttoned up the buttons of his shirt that he had just unbuttoned, put on the police chief hat, and went out directly.
After leaving his house, Li Chaoming asked the coachman to drive the carriage to the Huang Mansion.
No matter what, he got into trouble because he stood up for the Huang Mansion. His loss must be known to the Huang Mansion. At the same time, Li Chaoming also wanted to see if the Huang Mansion had any ideas.
When he arrived at the Huang Mansion, the sun had completely set and the sky was dark.
The gate of the Huang Mansion was closed. Two white lanterns were floating in front of the gate, swaying lifelessly. Those arrogant guards and servants of the Huang Mansion who usually stood at the gate of the Huang Mansion were all gone.
Li Chaoming got off the carriage and came to the gate. He heavily knocked on the gate a few times. After waiting for a while, the side gate opened a crack. A steward of the Huang Mansion carefully looked outside through the crack.
In the past, the Huang Mansion would definitely welcome Li Chaoming as a VIP, but today was different. Li Chaoming didn't even step into the gate of the Huang Mansion, nor did he see anyone in charge of the Huang Mansion.
This was because the Huang Mansion steward told him that just this afternoon, the Huang Mansion received a verbal reprimand from the Crown Prince from the palace.
The Crown Prince reprimanded the Huang Mansion for being corrupt and lacking discipline. First, the Huang Mansion didn't teach their children well. Second, the Huang Mansion servants were bossy and domineering. This time, if it weren't for Huang Zheng's loyalty to the country, he wouldn't have let the Huang Mansion off so easily. The Crown Prince wanted the Huang Mansion to reflect on themselves.
After receiving the Crown Prince's reprimand, the Huang Mansion was completely listless. They had no choice but to tuck their tails between their legs and refuse to see outsiders.
After being rejected at the Huang Manor and being reprimanded by the crown prince, Li Chaoming was also listless. In the end, after thinking about it, he gritted his teeth and had no choice but to shamelessly ask the driver to drive to the East Port Supervision Office.
When he arrived at the Inspection Department, the sky was completely dark. Li Chaoming wanted to see Xia Pingan.
Luo Laojiu squinted at Li Chaoming from the gate of the Inspection Department and revealed his yellow teeth. He didn't give Li Chaoming any face at all. He didn't open the gate at all, "The Inspector has already left. If you want to see the Inspector, come back tomorrow!"
Li Chaoming smiled, "Then may I ask when Lord Xia will arrive at the Inspection Department tomorrow?"
"I don't know. Maybe early, maybe late, or maybe not at all. As for Lord's whereabouts, we can't ask!"
Looking at the closed gate of the Inspection Department, Li Chaoming sighed and helplessly sat in the carriage to go home.
Just as he got home, he didn't even have time to drink water when he received another piece of news. In just half a day, the Inspection Department of the East Port had already "disposed" of all the famous wine and silk in his warehouse as stolen goods. Even the money in Jinming Trading Company's bank account was taken out by the Inspection Department of the East Port along with his brother-in-law Lu Xing and confiscated as stolen goods …
Li Chaoming almost spat out a mouthful of blood. Originally, he would only use these methods to make money when he was messing with others. Unexpectedly, he became the one who was messed with today.
"Xia Pingan, you bastard, I'm not done with you …" Li Chaoming was so angry that he trembled all over. The ginseng tea spilled out of the teacup and burned his hand. Li Chaoming fiercely smashed the teacup onto the ground, smashing it into pieces.
