Ink panel: Hunting the sun and surveying the sky from the bow

In the front yard of the manor.

Shen Qing was speechless as he looked at the row of trembling women and beautiful boys in front of him.

This manor was not very big, but it had everything it needed.

In addition to the gambling hall, the manor also had everything to eat, drink and play. There were even many special prostitutes to serve these gamblers for their entertainment.

Both men and women.

These women and boys were all ladies in the city. They were from middle-class families with good reputations. They were all for one reason or another. They were forcibly abducted and sold here by gangs in the city, and gradually became tools for people to play with.

"Sir, what should we do with these people?" Sun Ding stepped forward, put his wrist on his neck and wiped it, indicating to kill them: "Or..."

Shen Qing raised his chin and indicated: "Let them register their information and arrange for the brothers to send them back home."

Sun Ding was stunned, thinking that he had heard it wrong.

In his opinion, Shen Qing was a murderous man. Why did he suddenly change his temper?

"Are all the things found inside here?" Shen Qing looked at the big boxes behind the prostitute and asked to change the subject.

Sun Ding came back to his senses and said, "Yes, all the things found are here."

Shen Qing went forward and opened one of the half-person-high wooden boxes, and found that it was neatly filled with silver ingots.

This big wooden box was half a person's height, one meter long and wide.

He roughly estimated that it would take nearly two thousand taels of silver to fill it, and there were five boxes of this size.

In other words, there were as much as ten thousand taels of cash here.

It would take Shen's Restaurant three to five years to earn this amount.

It can be said to be a huge sum of money.

In addition to these five treasure chests filled with cash, two wooden boxes of slightly smaller specifications were also searched.

Shen Qing went forward and opened them one by one, and found that one of them was filled with various pearls, jades and gems, and the other was filled with various gold ingots, the value of which was no less than seven or eight thousand taels.

In this small casino, there were 20,000 taels of huge silver.

Even though Shen Qing was used to big scenes, he still showed a little surprise on his face.

No wonder many gangs are keen on opening casinos.

Such a place of debauchery, combined with military defense, is really a place of making a fortune.

It's a pity that these people are not skilled and can't keep their wealth.

Now it all belongs to Shen Qing.

Shen Qing leaned over and rummaged in the gold box for a while. After a while, he found the three "small yellow croakers" mentioned by the "traitor".

He looked at it for a few times. It was indeed engraved with the seal of the Dong family as the "traitor" said, and it was the physical evidence of the Dong family's "collusion" with the Huangtian Sect.

Shen Qing weighed the three gold ingots in his hand and threw them to Sun Ding: "This is physical evidence, take it."

Sun Ding hurriedly reached out to catch it, looked at it for a few times, and quickly put it close to his body.

Shen Qing lowered his head and looked at the bodies scattered all over the ground. Suddenly, he asked his subordinates, "Have you checked all the people on the ground? Are there any left?"

"No...no." The subordinates were a little panicked, thinking that Shen Qing was going to take some from them like Zheng Yuanqiu did.

As expected, Shen Qing had no interest in these small profits. Instead, he picked out some silver from the box and gave each of them 20 taels of silver under the gaze of his subordinates. Then he said casually, "Send these boxes to my home."

Everyone showed a little surprise on their faces.

Don't be afraid of comparing goods, just be afraid of comparing people.

Compared to Zheng Yuanqiu's stinginess, they suddenly felt that Shen Qing was really too good, and they all accepted Shen Qing's embezzlement and said in unison: "Yes, sir."

Shen Qing saw that the matter here had been settled, so he had no intention of staying for long, and ordered: "Now that the matter here is settled, everyone follow me back to report."

"Sir, what should we do with this place? Just leave like this?"

"Burn it!" Shen Qing said without thinking.

He held the knife on his waist with one hand and walked out of the courtyard first.

Ji Youwu and other officers hurriedly moved, found a lot of firewood from the kitchen, threw the bodies in the hall, and set a fire.

In the blazing flames, the officers carried the alleys and drove the confused prostitutes to Yongzhou City.

When they came, everyone had no worries, so they were very fast, but when they went back, they had to deal with silver and prostitutes, so they couldn't go fast anyway.

It took them more than half an hour to reach the gate of the city tower.

Shen Qing divided his men into two groups, one group carried silver and valuables back to his house, and the other group sent the prostitutes who were at a loss back home.

"Xiaohu, you go and send those women." Shen Qing reached out and took out a package and threw it to Tian Xiaohu.

"These people have been bullied, and they may not be welcomed when they go back. Here are dozens of taels of silver. When you send them home, give each of them three taels, which is better than nothing."

Tian Xiaohu obviously didn't expect Shen Qing to be like this, and hurriedly praised: "Sir, you are kind!"

Shen Qing waved his hand, not caring much.

"Remember not to give too much, otherwise it will be like a child carrying gold through the market, and everyone is a devil."

A few dozen taels is only one thousandth of what Shen Qing got this time, which is nothing, but for these ordinary people, it may be a life-saving straw.

Shen Qing thought he was not a pushover, but he was not an unkind person either.

He just felt that the world should not be like this, and he just followed his nature.

Tian Xiaohu didn't understand the deep meaning, but he still took note of it.

After dealing with the prostitutes, Shen Qing watched his men carry the boxes back home.

After giving Sun Ding a few more words, he sent these men away.

Looking at the treasure chests filled with gold and silver in front of him, he felt a little relieved.

Today's trip was really rewarding, and the small treasury was enriched.

With these deposits, he can go to Wu Sheng to purchase various cultivation resources in the future, in order to improve his own cultivation as soon as possible, and no longer have to worry about gold and silver.

That night, Sun Ding tortured the "traitor" at the instruction of Shen Qing, and completely confirmed his identity as a traitor of Huangtian Sect under coercion and inducement.

At the same time, various evidences also proved that the traitor of Huangtian Sect was in collusion with Dong Jing.

In addition to the previous lesson of Zheng Yuanqiu, the Yongzhou government seemed extremely sensitive and attached great importance to this matter.

Tracking all the way, constantly putting pressure on the Dong family.

Taking this opportunity, the Sun family took the lead in attacking. Under the premise of Dong Jing's disappearance, the Dong family became extremely passive and retreated step by step.

Until the end, the storm gradually subsided after being forced to give up some benefits.

The Sun family and some other onlookers gained a lot.

And this had nothing to do with Shen Qing.

After having sufficient financial resources, Shen Qing bought another restaurant in a prosperous location in Yongzhou City and became a real boss.

Four months passed in the blink of an eye.

During these four months, Shen Qing recruited soldiers and gradually expanded the officials of the Weiwusi Yamen from sixty or seventy to more than one hundred and fifty, making it strong and powerful.

Everything was in order.
