Over the years, Zhou Wenbin had invested several million taels of silver in Jiaping City. Jiaping City only had its current prosperity because of the light taxes. As a county magistrate, not only was he not greedy for money, nor did he accept bribes, but he also raised money himself to invest in the local government. He managed Jiaping City so well that there wasn't even a beggar on the streets.
It was precisely because of this that the moment he arrived at the building, he had such an authoritative aura. Of course, he didn't do this just because he had been taught by the sages to be a good official who made decisions for the people. Instead, he had his own considerations as a Qi warrior.
But under such governance, very few families were willing to sell their daughters into this pit of fire. For a brothel, if there was no fresh and sufficient "supply", it was only natural that they would think of all sorts of ways and unscrupulous means.
Because of Lou's relationship with Zhuo Zhibo, as well as his family background, he had never really paid much attention to Zhuo Zhibo, the district magistrate. He would only give him a perfunctory greeting during the festive season. Zhuo Zhibo did have some scruples and did not want to stir up trouble, so he had always ignored this extremely popular Lou. But now that someone was the vanguard, of course, he had to seize the opportunity to do something beneficial to himself and force Lou Cheng. Of course, he could only force Lou Cheng a little. It was impossible to destroy Lou Cheng in one fell swoop.
Li Qingshan furrowed his brows. He had already expected this. If the building could be destroyed so easily, it wouldn't have lasted until now. Even if he went to the Fish Ditch to investigate, it would be in vain.
In short, saving one person was one person, killing one thief was another thief. He didn't want to flatten the building in one fell swoop. For such an evil force, even if he couldn't destroy it in a short time, he had to strike it hard. Now, the strike was not enough.
Zhao Liangqing's face revealed a sinister and proud smile. "Lord Zhou, since there's nothing else, please punish Li Qingshan for killing the innocent. Also, release my brothel's top courtesan, Furong."
His last sentence caused the entire building to roar in response.
Li Qingshan said, "This is a matter of my Hawkwolf Guard, so it's not up to an outsider like you to butt in. Those guards obstructed the Hawkwolf Guard from carrying out their duties, so their deaths are not to be regretted. That old hag even directly attacked me. Many people witnessed it. Big brother Zhuo personally taught me what to do at a time like this. The Great Wall. "
Zhuo Zhibo squeezed out from between his teeth, "Brothel Lord Zhao, Zhuo Zhibo, Cheng. He had to endure it, endure it until he completely understood Li Qingshan's background. It was possible to imagine what kind of eruption he would have once he learnt that Li Qingshan and Gu Yanying did not even have a close relationship at all.
Would Li Qingshan waste this beautiful period of time? Of course, it was to disgust you once and take advantage of you first.
"Lou" Li said. "Seven" Thousand "Zhibo" Li Cheng. "I" Li Cheng Zhibo. "I"
"Cheng" An "Zhao" Yan "(Chen) Zhang (Zhou") Zhou "Cheng" (: Liang) Zhibo (), "Li) Zhou (Lou)" "()
"Zhou" Cheng "(Zhang) Zhou" "Yan" (Lou) Yan (Zhou "()" Yan), "Li Zhou" (), "Ye (Yan)," Zhou, ", and, I," Feng Cheng Yan., "", he,
He coughed twice and suppressed his smile. "What do you want to sue me for?"
Li Qingshan raised the hibiscus in his hand. "I will also sue you for selling fake and shoddy goods, selling shoddy goods, deceiving consumers and the common people. You have deeply hurt my feelings!"
Zhao Liangqing resisted the urge to curse out loud. Li Qingshan released some True Qi from his palm, and Hibiscus immediately fainted and lost consciousness. Naturally, she could no longer use her seductive techniques. Even ordinary people would be able to see her true appearance. Li Qingshan lifted her up high.
"Everyone, please take a look. This is the true appearance of the top courtesan, Hibiscus. Ask your conscience and see if I was right."
Almost everyone rubbed their eyes at the same time and were stunned. The dream was shattered. This, is this really Hibiscus? Then who was the woman in his dream? Then why did he not hesitate to go bankrupt just to see her? They asked their conscience and realized that they were really idiots. Tachydera
Vomit. Many people vomited. The strong psychological contrast made them feel more disgusted than if they had eaten a hundred flies. Filthy vomit flowed freely in the golden building, as if this was its true appearance.
There were also people who couldn't believe it, or who had been deeply poisoned by the seductive techniques. They knelt on the ground and cried bitterly, shouting, "This is impossible. This is not Hibiscus. It's all fake! It's all a conspiracy! "
Zhao Liangqing was furious. He took a step forward and pressed down with his True Qi, causing the floor to collapse. However, two more powerful auras instantly locked onto him. One was Zhuo Zhibo, and the other was Zhou Wenbin. Both were experts in the sixth layer of Qi Refining who had opened their Sea of Qi.
Regardless of the reason or goal, they couldn't just watch as Zhao Liangqing attacked Li Qingshan. The two of them were the symbols of the rules of Jiaping City, the representatives of the court's authority. This kind of rule and authority could not be violated or broken. Li Qingshan seemed arrogant and despotic, but he had always been reasonable when he did things.
Li Qingshan didn't even look at Zhao Liangqing. He only said loudly, "I spent an astronomical amount of silver just to see this thing. Don't you think I'm wronged?" He then casually tossed Hibiscus to Zhao Liangqing. "Don't ask me for it. I don't want this thing even if you give it to me!"
Hibiscus slowly changed her form. Seeing that everyone's gazes on her had changed, she instinctively used her seductive techniques. However, she had just suffered a huge mental blow. Unless one's willpower was especially weak, it was very difficult to be seduced.
She shouted hysterically, "What's wrong with you? Don't you like me? I'm Hibiscus! "She was restrained by Zhao Qingliang. He ordered his subordinates," Send her to her room. "
Of course, as time passed, the memories in many people's hearts would gradually become blurry. Perhaps her seduction technique would regain the upper hand, but who knew how long it would take. This kind of technique that could affect one's soul did not only work on the caster, but also on the environment. Not only did it have to be influenced by sounds and smells, but it also had to be complemented by word of mouth. When everyone thought that you were a peerless beauty, you would be a peerless beauty. Otherwise, it would be twice the effort for half the result.
Li Qingshan's actions were equivalent to ruining the Courtesan Queen Hibiscus's and the many years of hard work of the brothel. No wonder Zhao Liangqing had lost his composure.
Zhou Wen Bin smiled slightly and stroked his long beard. "This matter is one person's will and one person's will. It's not easy for this official to decide." If he agreed to Li Qingshan's words, then half of the men in Jiaping City would have grievances to complain about.
Afterwards, he said to Qing Xiu, "Miss, please come with me to the government office first. There'll be an outcome tomorrow!" A runner had already gone to Fish 'er Gully overnight to investigate. Although he probably wouldn't come up with anything, he still had to try.
In the end, he said to Li Qingshan, "You're involved in this case as well, so you'll need to pay a visit to the government office tomorrow." Clearly, he had something to tell him, but it was inconvenient to say it in front of everyone, so he reminded him again.
Li Qingshan said, "I've woken up."
Qing Xiu bowed and thanked him, but Li Qingshan said, "There's no need to thank me. If you want to thank me, I should be thanking you instead." He made Qing Xiu keep her eyes open. She had no idea what he was trying to say, but it was fantastic to be able to break free from the sea of suffering. Sir Zhou really is like the rumors. He's a good official. I'll definitely expose Lou Cheng and save my sisters who have suffered.
Zhou Wenbin left with the runners and Qing Xiu, while Zhuo Zhibo left with the Hawkwolf guards too. Li Qingshan followed obediently at the very back. He did not forget to say, "Thank you for standing up for me, commander Zhuo!"
The guests all dispersed as well. Many of them were dejected or resentful, swearing they would never come again.
However, this was just how the world worked. Some people were unhappy, while others were happy. Many of the resentful women of Jiaping city discovered to their joy that their men had actually returned. They were no longer trapped in the brothel. They thanked Li Qingshan profusely, thanking him for wrecking the brothel. The men also discovered that compared to Furong, their wives and concubines were all first-rate beauties. As a result, there was no need to say too much when a husband and wife were in harmony.
Li Qingshan was in quite a good mood as well. As a result, Zhao Liangqing looked at the cold, cheerless brothel and roared inside, I'll definitely make you die a horrible death.
What a coincidence. Li Qingshan was thinking the same thing. He had witnessed injustice this time, so if he did not punish the culprit, it would never be over. You bear a grudge against me, but I haven't forgotten about you either!
However, it was inconvenient for him to revert to his daemon form to kill Zhao Liangqing. They had just fallen out with each other, so if he died the next day, it would probably raise suspicion. He wanted to save this precious opportunity for Zhuo Zhibo.
Trump cards were things that could only be used in the dark. He did not want to use them so easily unless he had no other choice. Right now, strengthening his strength in the open was more important. Even if he came across fourth layer Qi Practitioners right now, he could put up a fight. He believed that as long as he broke through to the second layer, he could put up a fight openly.
Along the way, Zhuo Zhibo and the Black Wolf guards said nothing at all. Their gazes towards Li Qingshan became more and more hostile.
Li Qingshan was happy to have some peace and quiet. He directly returned to the small building and said to Little Ann, "It's all thanks to your warning today, or I would have fallen for their tricks. How did you know I was bewitched?"
Little Ann used the tip of his finger to write under Li Qingshan's hand.
As it turned out, he had used his Fiery Eyes to see through the thin jar and see Hibiscus. The so-called Path of White Bone and Great Beauty had always been about breaking through all barriers, making the heart as pure as a śarīra, unhindered by lust. Let alone a trifling art of charm, even the most brilliant illusions could not escape his eyes.
The Path of White Bone and Great Beauty completely surpassed this cultivation method. It even surpassed most cultivation methods in this world. The remaining few cultivation methods could not be mentioned on the same level as it either. At most, they were not that far off.
Li Qingshan spent the entire afternoon in the collection. Not only did he read through the martial arts manuals, but he also gained a rough understanding of the cultivation methods of this world. There was no need for him to go to the second floor for these informative books. There were plenty on the first floor.
