Imperial City Investigative Department

Chapter 25 Antecedents (Part [-])
Jiang Shan hurriedly said: "As for any matter of human life, it can be inferred only if the corpse, injury, disease, property, and trace are all available. Now..."

"That's why I asked you to dig three feet into the ground. Let you see the corpse first, then the rest will be easy." Wu Chen turned to look at Jiang Shan, and said with a smirk, "Do it, or we will do it ourselves. "

……

Jiang Shan sat paralyzed in the corridor. The government servants in the yard had dug up three bones, but this was not over yet. Wu Chen knew that the courtyard was not big, but there were seven sets of skeletons buried underground, including young women and young children.

Wu Chen also knew that there was an old couple and a few servants living in this courtyard. They were human beings, and they bought some little girls who couldn't live at home. Playing and singing, when you are older, you will be taught to draw eyebrows and eyes, apply powder and ink, female workers needle fingers, and taste bamboo and silk; those who are less beautiful will be taught some rough work.

These women will be sold everywhere when they reach the prime of life, and will be used as handmaids and concubines...

The couple have led people to do this business for more than ten years, and they lived in peace at first.

But when Jiang Shan became the county magistrate, he learned that there was such a place in Anping County that could raise beauties, so he called the old couple and said that he would select a few people and send them to Kyoto.

Ren Yazi is doing this kind of business, and there is no one who is not happy, but Jiang Shan doesn't want to give money, he only finds people from them because he wants to show face to the old couple, acting like a bandit.

The old couple couldn't help but sighed when they returned home. The two of them in the previous county yamen had taken care of them a lot. Make an offer.

Although the two are human beings, they seldom beat or scold these bought children on weekdays. It's not that they are kind, but they don't know who among them will fly to the branches in the future, and then they will deal with them instead, isn't it? They can bear it, so those who are disobedient in normal times are only hungry for a few meals, and they will persuade them afterwards.

The dead soul of the beautiful woman who went to Wu Chen yesterday, named Yulian, had lived in this yard for ten years. She had seen people older than her being bought, and she had also seen young children being bought. The poor people in the yard Most of the women here are resigned to their fate, obedient and obedient, they can eat and wear clothes here, I don’t know how much better than outside, even if they are not sold here, they will be sold elsewhere, and they may not be able to feel at ease right now.

Yulian has a fiery temper, but she is also the most handsome. The couple are so tolerant of her.

The old couple were frowning, others didn't dare to ask, but Yulian dared. She asked the reason and knew that the old couple was going to make a loss-making business this time. The two earned money, if it continues like this, as long as the county magistrate has no major faults, he will have to stay in Anping County for at least three years.

This matter had nothing to do with Yulian. She was not grateful to the old couple, nor could she say she hated her.

But she knew that if the county magistrate was chosen first, then she would definitely be selected, but she didn't want to go to the capital. She had secretly heard the couple say in private that a sister was sold to a big family in Kyoto as a concubine before. , because she was very favored, she was soon resold by the mistress of the family and sold to a remote place. The couple could predict how miserable that sister would be.

Yulian decided that Kyoto was a tiger's den and a wolf's den. She knew her temperament, and if she really went to Kyoto, she was afraid that her bones would be hard to survive, so she advised the couple that it would be better to leave Anping County overnight.

Just as the old couple had this intention, they hurriedly ordered the people in the yard to pack up, and only take the important ones, and leave the rest first.

But they didn't even go out, and they were directly blocked by Jiang Shan's people.

Jiang Shan felt that he could not make the couple docile without showing any color, so he went to the house in person and almost beat the couple to death in front of everyone.

From then on, Jiang Shan would come to the house whenever he had nothing to do. He fell in love with Yulian and wanted to enjoy it before giving it away.

Yulian thought about forbearance, but Jiang Shan was not young, and he looked obscene, Yulian hated it very much, but Jiang Shan didn't dare to accept Yulian, thinking that Yulian would go there with her perfect body In Kyoto, his relatives may be happier than receiving a thousand taels of silver, and they will definitely get their wish if they get re-elected in Anping County, so they just treat Yulian as a plaything and insult them several times.

Jiang Shan wasn't afraid that Yulian would sue him when he arrived in the capital. These women were just objects. After his relatives took them, they might give them to others. Who would listen to what an object said.

But Yulian's temper exploded, and she couldn't help it after a few times. How could Jiang Shan tolerate Yulian's temper? In order not to scar Yulian's fat-like skin, Jiang Shan never beat her, but only used extremely vicious The method of humiliating Yulian, Yulian tried to die several times but was stopped by the guards arranged by Jiang Shan, and then the insult was even more unbearable.

Jiang Shan said it was training, otherwise he would be ashamed to go to the capital, but this kind of training made Yulian unable to survive or die!

Although Yulian usually has a violent temper, she is very kind to the sisters. Some people can't see Yulian being humiliated and want to let Yulian go secretly, but of course they don't succeed. Jiang Shan beat Yulian to death in front of Yulian After seeing that woman, Yulian almost went crazy. She screamed and struggled, but it was useless, she could only watch helplessly...

After that, Yulian didn't speak anymore, and she did whatever Jiang Shan wanted her to do. Suddenly, one day she ruthlessly bit off a piece of skin on Jiang Shan's leg. Jiang Shan was so angry that he treated the two children in the courtyard as Looking at Yulian's face, she was beaten to death again, only saying that she was implicated by Yulian.

Yulian was completely insane. She couldn't break free from the person who was pressing her, so she hit her head on the ground. After being lifted up, she bit her tongue and wanted to kill herself. Blood sprayed Jiang Shan's face full of blood. She looked at Jiang Shan ferociously, articulate Unclearly said: "If I live, one day, I will make your life worse than death! If I die, even a ghost will not let you go!"

Jiang Shan didn't expect Yulian's temper to be so strong, and felt that keeping Yulian was a disaster, so after taking Yulian forcibly that night, he dug a hole in the courtyard, gagged her mouth and buried her alive.

Yulian died, but failed to stop Jiang Shan's evil deeds. Three more women were tortured to death one after another, and they were all buried in the courtyard.

Jiang Shan was very upset, and reprimanded the two couples more than once, even he couldn't serve him well, how did he get into the capital?
It was not God who opened his eyes, or someone shouting at the injustice, but the war between Beiman and Xingguo that saved the two couples and the other women.

Although Anping County has not become a battlefield, it will be implicated to some extent. Taking advantage of Jiang Shan's busy schedule, the old couple seized the opportunity and took the remaining women out of Anping County.
