Introduction: Six Doors was established

大In the first year of Qi, on the twenty-fourth day of the twelfth lunar month, Jinling

heavy snow had been falling for two days, with no intention of stopping. The whole Jinling was shrouded in snow and fog. In the Nuan Pavilion in the southwest corner of the palace, Da Qi Emperor Li Tianqi was reading a batch of memorials, including Four books were picked out by him.

The eunuch in charge came in to refill the charcoal fire and whispered: "Your Majesty, it's late at night. It's time to rest. Don't tire yourself out."

Li Tianqi didn't even raise his head and asked calmly: "What time is it?"

The eunuch The eunuch whispered back: "It's only a quarter of an hour."

"It's so late." Li Tianqi couldn't believe how time passed so fast. He put down the memorial, stretched and walked to the window, opened the window, and saw The stove was burning inside, and after a long time, the air always felt stale.

"Hey, it's still snowing!" Li Tianqi didn't expect that Xue hadn't heard yet, so he stretched out his head to look outside with interest. At this moment, his eyes fell on the window, stopped to think for a moment, smiled, and looked out the window He shouted: "Chang Geng, come in and talk."

Then, Li Tianqi sat back on the warm bed and signaled the eunuch in charge to step back.

A moment later, an imperial guard walked in. His name was Bai Changgeng. He was thirty-five years old, with a strong build, thick eyebrows and big eyes. From the appearance alone, he seemed to be a very righteous man.

Bai Changgeng

Li Tianqi smiled and looked at Bai Changgeng for a long time, which made Bai Changgeng look puzzled. Although Bai Changgeng was thirty-five, he was simple-minded and not good at flattery.

When placed on ordinary officials, the emperor looked at him like this. He had either knelt down or lowered his head, but Bai Changgeng looked at Li Tianqi curiously.

Li Tianqi smiled and felt that there are too few officials like Bai Changgeng now. Since he ascended the throne and became the emperor, his former playmates and brothers who fought together in the country have all become alienated from him. Only Bai Changgeng still retains the power of the past. Brotherhood.

Bai Changgeng is ten years younger than Li Tianqi. When Li Tianqi rebelled in the late years of the previous dynasty, Bai Changgeng followed him closely. For more than ten years, Bai Changgeng has been acting as Li Tianqi's personal bodyguard, and he did not know how to protect Li Tianqi. How many knives were shot and how many lives were saved by Li Tianqi.

Bai Changgeng had an inexplicable brotherhood for Li Tianqi. In Bai Changgeng's heart, ensuring Li Tianqi's safety was his first responsibility. Therefore, when Daqi was established, Bai Changgeng did not want any official position and insisted on being the commander of Li Tianqi's internal defense.

"Sit", Li Tianqi pointed to the chair and told Bai Changgeng to sit down. Unlike other officials, Bai Changgeng had to ask for forgiveness before sitting down. He would immediately sit down when Li Tianqi asked him to sit down.

"Chang Geng, you have been with me for more than ten years. I have seen your loyalty, but you can't always be my bodyguard all your life. I want to change your position." Li Tianqi asked Bai Changgeng in a negotiating tone. .

Bai Changgeng was shocked and replied: "Your Majesty, you want me to leave you, then I won't do it. My mission is to ensure your safety."

Li Tianqi said with a smile: "This errand I arranged for you, Just to protect my safety, or to protect Da Qi's safety."

"Does the Emperor want me to go out and lead troops to fight?" When Bai Changgeng heard about ensuring Da Qi's safety, the first thing he thought of was fighting.

Li Tianqi said with a smile: "It's not a war. There's nothing left to fight now, but what you have to do is more serious than a war." After saying that, he handed the four selected memorials to Bai Changgeng.

Bai Changgeng took the memorial and looked through it. Li Tianqi explained on the side: "Although the battle against the previous dynasty is over, the previous dynasty left us with a big hidden danger.

The previous dynasty recruited a large number of martial arts to deal with us. Hero, as the war continued until it ended, most of the martial arts sects followed the general trend and gradually withdrew from the previous court's attempts to win over us, saying that they would not oppose us.

However, there are still many cults, and there are many stragglers and martial arts heroes who cannot form gangs. With the support of the fallen nobles of the previous dynasty, they oppose us, kill our officials and people, and cause trouble.

Those memorials you saw all mentioned these things, so I want to set up a new department to be responsible for communicating with Jianghu heroes, easing the conflicts between the court and Jianghu, and handling Jianghu affairs. I plan to put you in charge of this department. "

Bai Changgeng said angrily after reading those memorials: "These evil heretics, the world is not peaceful, if you have to do these idiots, catch them all and kill them all. "

Li Tianqi immediately stopped him and said: "Hey, you are wrong. They are actually being used. But why do you think they are being used? It is because there is no effective communication between us and them.

Think about the last years of the previous dynasty, when we started the army, these heroes basically supported the imperial court. At that time, you asked me if these heroes were blind. The officials of the previous dynasty were corrupt and the people were destitute, but they actually supported the imperial court. .

They were actually deceived. Later, most of them saw the facts clearly and chose to leave. But this group of martial arts heroes, think about how much trouble and damage they caused us in the first place.

Therefore, we cannot underestimate these martial arts heroes. We must learn from the experience of the previous dynasties and must have a good relationship with these rivers and lakes forces and balance the conflicts between the rivers and lakes and the court. Only in this way can we eliminate the hidden dangers of these people and be able to use them at critical moments.

After hearing this, Bai Changgeng said: "I understand, Your Majesty, just tell me what you want me to do?"

Li Tianqi thought for a moment and said: "I'm still thinking about it for the time being, but the scope of my responsibilities is basically to handle internal affairs in the martial arts world, coordinate conflicts between factions in the martial arts world, investigate cases involving martial arts people, and handle various disputes between martial arts people and the court." various cases and conflicts, in addition to the detection of major cases, important cases, and suspicious cases.

Bai Changgeng said in embarrassment: "Your Majesty, I can still understand the first few, but does the last one conflict with Dali Temple ?" "

" Don't mention those melon-skinned things in Dali Temple. The imperial code clearly stipulates that officials are not allowed to have sex with prostitutes. They know the law and break the law. It's good that I didn't demolish Dali Temple. I hope they investigate the case. "Li Tianqi scolded furiously.

Bai Changgeng then realized that he had said the wrong thing. Just as he was thinking about how to find the stairs, Li Tianqi spoke again: "You don't have to blame yourself. This is the fault of Dali Temple. I will discuss the last issue with the six departments regarding the investigation of major and important cases, and I will give you a clear scope of responsibilities. "

Bai Changgeng was cautious this time and asked tentatively, "Your Majesty, who are the personnel in this new department? " Bai Changgeng is worried. If there are some soldiers and gangsters who are speculating in the camp, he really doesn't want to get involved.

Li Tianqi smiled and said; "You decide the personnel yourself. You can find who you want. It can be a court official or a hero in the world. As long as you think it is useful, they are willing.

Bai Changgeng was happy when he heard this, and said casually: "We have to deal with heroes from the world, and the risk factor is a bit high. I don't know if anyone is willing to come, especially the court officials. Who doesn't want to enjoy peace and happiness? To meet people with swords.

Bai Changgeng said this casually, but Li Tianqi realized that this was a big problem and said seriously: "Under heavy rewards, there must be brave men. You are now from the second grade. The highest grade in this department uses you as a reference. It shall not exceed the second rank but shall not be lower than the seventh rank; those who have served in your department for more than thirty years shall have no lower salary than that of the third rank; those who have served for more than twenty years and have made outstanding achievements can serve in six departments. This will also No one is coming? "

Bai Changgeng was surprised after hearing this. There are only two ways to become an official, one is to take the imperial examination and the other is to earn military merit. The emperor actually opened another path in this newly built institution, which shows that the emperor attaches great importance to this institution.

Li Tianqi said with a smile: “The selection criteria depends on you. "

Bai Changgeng felt that the burden on him was too heavy, but the emperor immediately said: "Don't worry, you won't be able to bear the risk alone. There is also the Ministry of Punishment to check it.I plan to put this organization under the Ministry of Punishment. You just need to recruit people, and the Ministry of Punishment will be responsible for checking. This will reduce your pressure. "

Bai Changgeng finally breathed a sigh of relief, but he felt that this organization was strange. It was placed under the Ministry of Justice and had such great power, which was a bit unreasonable.

Li Tianqi seemed to have noticed Bai Changgeng's doubts and said: "The investigation of the case is just a matter of One of the tasks of this organization is not the main task, but the main task is to deal with Jianghu affairs. At the same time, this agency is only responsible for case detection and not for case interrogation, conviction and punishment, so it still has to be under the Ministry of Criminal Justice.

Bai Changgeng suddenly realized and asked: "Your Majesty, what is the name of this organization?"

Li Tianqi thought for a while and said: "The scope of responsibilities of this department spans the Jianghu, the court, the judiciary, and the criminal prison; the activities of the Criminal Department, Dali Temple and the Inspectorate are involved, including the Three Law Departments , these yamen." They all have six doors, so let’s just call them six doors. "

After hearing this, Bai Changgeng felt that the name was a bit sloppy.

Li Tianqi continued: "Today the six gates are established. I will discuss the specific responsibilities and details with the six departments, and I will issue an order in a few days. You have two things to do now, one is to start selecting your people, and the other is to handle your first case of Six Doors.”

After speaking, Li Tianqi handed Bai Changgeng a secret letter and said: “Zhao Baishi was killed. This is already the eighth general killed in the past six months. I think this case is not simple. Please handle it. "

Bai Changgeng recognized Zhao Baishi, his playmate from Longqibing. Because he was illiterate, only one fourth-rank general was named when the Qi Dynasty was established.

Zhao Baishi

Bai Changgeng came out of the palace It was the end of the Zishi period.

Four days later, the imperial court issued a decree and established six sects.

Responsibilities: handle Jianghu affairs, coordinate conflicts between gangs, and detect cases involving Jianghu people without involving Jianghu. Under the premise that forces outside the lake are involved, the six doors can be handled with full authority without going through the Three Laws Division. If it involves forces outside the Jianghu, the court and ordinary people, it must be verified and concluded by the Three Laws Division;

coordinates the relationship between the Jianghu and the court and promotes communication between the two parties;

handles major, important and strange cases in the court and among the people, including those involving the death of court officials and the royal family. Cases in which members die or property is damaged, cases in which five people die in a single time or more than ten people die in total, and cases in which the local yamen cannot solve the problem and provide technical support to the Ministry of Punishment, all fall within the scope of the Six Doors investigation;

Six Doors is temporarily affiliated to the Ministry of Punishment . .

(1) 0 But at this time, Bai Changgeng was investigating the first case of Liumen in Jinling Prefecture. He found that this case had already been paid attention to. The person who paid attention to this case was a young police officer named Chang Shan.

Bai Changgeng met for the first time. Chang Shan was at the Yamen of the prefect of Jinling. At that time, Chang Shan was Arguing with Wu Qiuyong, the prefect of Jinling, the two of them turned red in the face.

Wu Qiuyong said fiercely: "I am the local prefect, and you are just a small catcher. I said that these cases have no commonality, so I will not provide you with any information. You have to check any information yourself.

Chang Shan sarcastically said: "You scold a dog official, what else will you do besides using your official position to coerce others?" If you have the ability, you can investigate this case yourself. I won't take care of you anymore. "

After saying that, Chang Shan took off his yamen hat, threw it on the ground and left the yamen angrily. Wu Qiuyong was so panicked that he got up and tried to persuade him, but Chang Shan had already left the yamen gate.

Wu Qiuyong regretted so much and slapped his mouth, why is his mouth like this? What a debt, Chang Shan is so angry, where can he find the policeman? There is only one policeman in the whole magistrate's yamen.

At this moment, Wu Qiuyong saw Bai Changgeng standing in the lobby of the yamen, and his face immediately changed, and he said seriously. Asked: “Who are you and how did you get in?

Bai Changgeng returned with a smile: "Your magistrate's office doesn't even have a servant, so I just came in casually." "

Wu Qiuyong lost his temper when he heard this, and was about to scold him, but his expression immediately changed. He saw a token, the Ouchi token.

Wu Qiuyong said flatteringly: "I don't know what you call me, sir. What's the business of coming to my Jinling Yamen?"

Bai Changgeng put away the token and said: "I, Bai Changgeng, came out of the palace to do something. Who was that person just now? Why were you quarreling? ?"

Wu Qiuyong was busy serving tea and water, and explained as he was busy: "The man's name is Chang Shan. He is eighteen years old. He just returned from Shaolin Temple half a year ago and came to Jinling to seek refuge with relatives.

His relatives introduced him to me. Detective, this guy is very good at martial arts, he is not bad, and the neighbors like him. The only bad thing is that he has a bad temper.

But I can't bear it. Who asked me to be a police officer? The reason why I met him just now. The reason for the quarrel was because of the murder of Mr. Zhao Baishi. He insisted that this case and the previous murders of seven officials were committed by a group of people, and he wanted to get the files from me.

These seven officials had wounds on their bodies. The same, the form of death is different, how could he be killed by the same group of people? So I won't check the file for him. The key is that I am not wrong."

Bai Changgeng then asked Magistrate Wu: "You. Why is he the only yamen servant in this yamen?"

Wu Qiuyong explained helplessly: "In today's world, although the imperial court has been established, the secret battles between various forces have just begun. There are dozens of assassinations every day. Who dares to be arrested? Fast, so they all ran away, and now the only one is angry with me and ran away."

Bai Changgeng was shocked after hearing this. He didn't know this in the palace. He didn't expect the situation to be so serious. No wonder the emperor had to establish six. The door is open.

"Where does Chang Shan's family live?" Bai Changgeng felt that Chang Shan was not a simple person. Just by being a small detective, he could find out that the murder cases of these eight generals might be connected.

These eight people were all generals before, but now none of them are generals. How did he see that there was a connection between these people? Bai Changgeng decided to visit Changshan.

Wu Qiuyong thought for a while and said: "He should still be in the prison room outside the yamen. His salute and bedding are still there."

Bai Changgeng said nothing. Wu Qiuyong left the yamen and walked to the prison cell. He happened to see Chang Shan carrying the salute and going out. . He hurriedly blocked it with his hands.

Bai Changgeng looked for Changshan

Unexpectedly, this action caused a misunderstanding in Changshan. Changshan did not say anything. He raised the back of his right hand to lift Bai Changgeng's hand, and habitually raised his palm to push towards Bai Changgeng.

Bai Changgeng was stunned. This man must have a bad temper. When he saw the palm being pushed towards him, he had no choice but to parry it and pushed it forward with a half-clenched fist.

When the two hands touched, they were both shocked by each other's internal strength. They both saw that the other party was using Shaolin internal strength .

Just when Chang Shan was surprised, Bai Changgeng announced his family status: "My dear Bai Changgeng, I have a question to ask, and I don't mean any harm." After saying this, he took out the token from his waist.

Chang Shan was stunned and quickly replied: "My lord, I'm really sorry. I was so reckless. I don't know what happened."

Bai Changgeng saw that it was already lunch time, so he invited Chang Shan to the Yuexiang Pavilion for dinner.

During the dinner, Bai Changgeng said: "I came out of the palace to investigate this case. I just want to ask, how did you find out that there is a connection behind these eight cases?"

Chang Shan said: "It's very simple. These eight people all have old injuries, and they are not ordinary sword injuries, but heavy weapon injuries from swords and spears, which shows that these eight people were all generals before. This is the first thing these eight people have in common.”

Bai Changgeng nodded and motioned to Chang Shan to continue. Chang Shan said: "In addition, these people are all imperial officials below the third rank. Four of the eight died at home. These four people were without wives, and four of them died. Outside the family, but these four people all have wives, is this too much of a coincidence? "

Bai Changgeng didn't understand what it meant. What does this have to do with having a family? Chang Shan saw Bai Changgeng's confused face and said with a smile: "There are some things that only those without a family dare to bring home; those with a family can only do them outside. Think about it, adults."

Bai Changgeng thought He shook his head for a long time, indicating that he didn't know.

Chang Shan said with a smile: "Sexing up with prostitutes, because the court issued a law that officials are not allowed to have sex with prostitutes, so most officials dare not go to the land of fireworks.

Most of the people without families summoned the brothel girls to their homes, while the officials with families would choose villas outside the city to summon the brothel girls, and the four officials who died outside all died in such places, so I suspect these people were killed as prostitutes. "

Chang Shan said his speculation, and Bai Changgeng looked surprised and admired. He could deduce this. Bai Changgeng had a bold idea and asked: "What else have you found out?

Chang Shan also said frankly: "I only took over the case after Zhao Baishi was killed. It only took less than four days and I only found so much. I wanted to check the previous files, but Magistrate Wu tried every means." The obstruction is gone now, and I don’t have to worry about it anymore. "

Bai Changgeng asked with a smile; "Do you still want to check? "

" I want to check, but there is no place to check. "Chang Shan said helplessly and frustrated.

Bai Changgeng took off a new token from his waist and handed it to Chang Shan, saying: "From today on, you will take this token to investigate this case and find out what files you need to consult. If anyone dares not to cooperate, Yes, just show this token and return it to me after you finish the case, but you must investigate this case thoroughly. "

Chang Shan looked at the token. It was a standard arrow token, made of an unknown black metal material, with the words "Six Doors" clearly engraved on the front. The imperial communiqué had only been sent to various yamen and had not been posted yet. Chang Shan still I don’t know what kind of organization Six Doors is.

“Then, if there is a problem with this case, who should I report it to? "Chang Shan asked blankly while holding the token.

Bai Changgeng thought for a moment and said, "If you have anything to do, just come to me at the Yamen of the Criminal Department.

Chang Shan was amused when he heard this. He quickly stood up and clasped his hands and said, "Don't worry, sir. This case will be brought to the bottom of the case for you." "

(2): The end of the road, the bright future

With this token, Chang Shan's activities became much freer, and he soon collected detailed files on the eight victims from various yamen.

The information collected before was all based on inquiries or inquiries. According to hearsay, it was all superficial information. Even the injuries on the victim's body were obtained by him from the relevant autopsy investigators.

According to the file, Chang Shan analyzed the following points: The victims were all Beijing officials below the third rank in Beijing. He was a military general who made great contributions to the establishment of the Qi Dynasty;

The victim was forced by the laws of the court to take the brothel girl home or to the villa to be killed. The murderer must be related to the brothel girl;

The eight victims died in eight ways. There are six kinds of weapons in total. The damage caused by the weapons is different, and the techniques reflected are also different, indicating that it was not done by one person, but probably by a group of killers;

Although there may be more than one murderer, the techniques are all sophisticated, and all The victims were all killed with one knife. These killers must have very high martial arts skills.

Because they intervened in the case too late, a lot of information was not grasped in time. According to the file, Chang Shan could only obtain so much information, so he visited the four people at their homes. The servants of the murdered officials.

But the result was not ideal. These eight people were all military officers. Although most of them have now become civilian officials, they still have many close friends in the army. Most of these prostitutes used lower-level soldiers in the army as matchmakers. The servants in the family were kept secret, so many servants had no idea why their master was killed.

The case seemed to have reached its end.

Chang Shan was borrowing files from everywhere.

Just when Chang Shan was about to join the army to investigate. , a new case occurred. Liu Dagen, the director of the machine camp, was murdered in Wuquan Villa.

When Chang Shan rushed to the scene, two government officials from Heshang County had already arrived. When they saw Chang Shan, they thought they were the arresters responsible for the case. "The woman in the house reported the crime" and left.

The place where Liu Dagen was killed was in an independent courtyard of Wuquan Villa. The room where he was killed was in the main hall of the courtyard. There was a tea table in the hall. After buying various fruit tea drinks, Liu Dagen lay on his back on the ground, with blood flowing from his neck, and a large pool of blood had accumulated.

A shivering woman was hiding in a small corner of the room. This was the reporter named Feifei.

Uncle Chang ignored the reporter and inspected the scene first. Liu Dagen only had one wound on his neck. The wound was long and slender but deep. It should have been caused by a very special weapon. It was definitely not a regular sword or knife. Daggers. None of these weapons create such deep and long wounds.

This is not the first time that a wound of this shape has appeared. One of the eight officials who were killed before had the same wound, but that wound was located in the throat, and this one was located on the right side of the neck. The shapes of the two were similar, but the form of the knife was different. One was straight. , a slight overhang.

has the same special murder weapon, but has different usage and operating habits. Was it the work of one person?

Chang Shan put aside his doubts and checked the scene. The doors and windows were all open, and there were no traces on the doors and windows. There were really not many valuable clues.

Chang Shan walked towards Feifei and asked: "Which Hualou are you from?"

Feifei stammered: "How do you know that I am from Hualou?"

Changshan sneered and said: "I still understand the activities of these officials. The court refused to let officials They use this place as a cover for prostitutes. If you are really a musician and dancer of this villa, the owner of the villa will speak for you. But the boss has not mentioned a word about you for a long time, so you must not be from this villa."

Bo's words made the owner of the mountain village who had been following behind him jump with fear.

"Tell me what's going on." Chang Shan said coldly.

Feifei said with an innocent and frightened expression: "I was dancing here at the time, and suddenly a man in black jumped in from the back window, grabbed the adult's hair bun, and cut the adult's neck with a knife, and then I I saw a lot of blood spurting out, and the adults hurriedly used their hands I tried to block it, but it couldn't be blocked at all. I screamed in fright, and the man in black took the opportunity to run away."

Chang Shan analyzed: The location of the wound is consistent with what the woman said, and the direction of the wound is consistent with the movement of the woman. , the blood stains on Liu Dagen’s hands and sleeves proved that he had covered his wounds.

Chang Shan then asked: "How long did it take from the time the man in black entered to the time he escaped."

Feifei Xiangxiang described: "In a blink of an eye, I was dancing, and before I could finish a move, the man had already rushed in. The master wiped a knife on his neck, and he ran away before I could react."

Changshan evaluated all the actions in his mind and found that they could be completed within the time mentioned by Feifei.

"What weapon did that person use?" Chang Shan asked.

Feifei thought about it and said: "I didn't see it clearly, but it's not big. There seems to be a hook, but it doesn't look like a hook, because the hook is very thin."

Changshan thought about what the murder weapon could be and asked, "Then How long is Gou Gou? "

" is as long as five fingers," Feifei replied.

Chang Shan nodded, the length just matched the depth of the wound. However, Chang Shan also discovered another problem.

"How many people know that you are here?" Chang Shan asked Feifei.

Feifei said: "Hua Lou's mother knows, who else knows, I don't know."

Chang Shan said expressionlessly: "Tell me how Hua Lou arranged for you to come out."

Feifei said : "Usually mom assigns us, and we go wherever she asks us to go. Once assigned, we arrive in a special carriage."

Chang Shan was stunned: "Special carriage?" This is a key point, how could we ignore this? .

"Yes, it's a special carriage. In recent years, more and more out-of-town services have been provided. There is a special carriage under our flower house to pick us up." Feifei explained to herself.

Feifei's hands were clean and there was no blood on her body. The time of her shouting matched the time when the servants of the villa arrived. She was probably not the murderer, so she put Feifei back.

But Chang Shan followed Feifei because he thought there was something wrong with this woman. As Feifei said, there was a carriage at the entrance of the villa. She got on the carriage and went straight back to a brothel called Feng Laiyi by the Qinhuai River .

Following Feifei

Chang Shan did not follow, but started chatting with the coachmen. Changshan asked: "Is business easy to do now? It depends on you running around all night."

A skinny coachman said; It’s true that they are running around, but there are so many people doing this now that they really can’t make any money.”

“Isn’t this a designated brothel?” Uncle Chang asked deliberately pretending to be confused. A fat carriage driver next to

explained: "Everywhere, they are competing for customers. Otherwise, it is difficult to do it. We just pick up and drop off girls from brothels, so we call them special carriages for brothels, but they are not fixed to pick up and drop off a certain brothel. ."

"Then you send the brothel girl and take it back?" Chang Shan asked curiously.

The thin horseman said: "Then who cares? These people are out all night. We can't just wait there."

"Then aren't there a lot of you waiting at the entrance of the villa?" Chang Shan asked incomprehensively. .

The thin horseman said: "Hey, that's because there are always a few people who are not satisfied and are sent back and need to be replaced. Those at the gate of the villa are the ones who pick up the slack. Hey, if you ask such a detailed question, what are you going to do?

Chang Shan chuckled and said, "What else can you do? I see you are making quite a lot of money." I also want to do this."

After saying goodbye to the coachman, Chang Shan sorted out his thoughts. According to these coachmen, it is not sure who the brothel girl he pulls each time is, and who the brothel girl he pulls is not sure. It was also uncertain, and it was unlikely that the coachman could identify the victim.

The only ones who can determine the identity of the victim are the mothers of these brothels.

(3): Xiaojin Grottoes by the Qinhuai River

There are hundreds of brothels, large and small, along the Qinhuai River. Many talented, talented and wealthy businessmen have spent their wealth here, only to end up in nothing.

Jinling, the capital of the Great Qi Dynasty, was among the first decrees promulgated to prohibit officials from having sex with prostitutes. This is why, this is the Xiaojin Cave. No matter how much money you have, no matter how good your body is, you can't bear it.

But when the dynasty was first established, all the poor men who had followed the dragon in revolt had turned over. After more than ten years of war, most of them had delayed their marriages. Now they are all officials, big and small. They have money in their hands and have been suppressed for so long. Who can Still care about laws.

Chang Shan did not enter Fenglai Yi, but found a larger brothel, Wanhonglou. The reason why Uncle Chang chose Wanhonglou was because he did not want to attract the attention of the murderer. According to his own judgment just now, the rickshaw driver was not a big suspect. The biggest suspects were Feng Laiyi's mother and Feifei.

Wan Honglou’s mother is called Aunt Ming. She didn’t pay attention to Chang Shan at first, but when she saw the token on Chang Shan’s waist, she immediately changed her attitude.

There are gangs behind brothels, but all gangs belong to the Jianghu. Otherwise, Aunt Ming would not be so well-informed and would recognize Changshan's waist card .

Aunt Ming smiled like a sunflower and asked: "Why are you here, sir?"

"I want to know about your girl going out to run a business and see how you operate it?" Chang Shan had been doing this before he saw Aunt Ming. He glanced at his badge, then his attitude changed drastically, and he already understood what was going on.

Aunt Ming made tea and pulled Chang Shan into the private room to chat alone. Aunt Ming said: "How else can we do it? Customers usually place orders two days in advance. When we receive the order, we will release the order for the girls. It's your choice, whoever wants to go can go. The girls will pay you three points when they come back."

This is completely different from what Feifei said.

Chang Shan felt that everything Aunt Ming said was of great use, so he broke it down sentence by sentence and asked: "You mean, the customer will place an order two days in advance, so do you know the identity of the customer?"

Aunt Ming said: "In the beginning, one or two people knew about it, but then they didn't know about it anymore. You also know that the court investigates closely, and those officials are afraid of leaking secrets, so they don't know anything about it anymore." Everyone who comes to us has a different number.

New customers are mostly introduced by old customers. If an old customer asks for a new number, it means there is a new customer, so we don't know what each number corresponds to. Who is it, but they all know it. "

" How did they know? "Chang Shan was curious about this.

Aunt Ming explained: "Customers are different, their hobbies are different, and the fees are also different. We only take 30% of the water. We don't care what kind of customers we have. These girls are very attentive and will memorize the numbers and which customers are." Generously, they all know which customers have special habits, and they trade information with each other. They know who the customer is."

Chang Shan said with a dumb smile after hearing this: "These are all survival skills, so what do you mean by throwing the numbers out and letting them choose by themselves?"

Aunt Ming said: "It's not peaceful now, there are many girls. If we don't want to go out, we can't force it. In addition, as mentioned earlier, there are some people who meet each other. Or some girls have met a big business and are very willing to go out. We don’t know what they think, so we just throw out the numbers and let them choose who wants to go.”

Chang Shan nodded and said: "This is a good idea. Isn't this your original creation?"

Aunt Ming Smiling and waving his hands, he said: "It's pretty much the same. Every flower shop is the same, except for the nicknames given to customers."

"Is there such a situation where a person may be a customer in several flower shops?" "The reason why Chang Shan asked this was because he felt that the murderer was not one person, and maybe he was scattered in different brothels.

Aunt Ming pursed her lips and said with a smile: "Isn't this very common? What man doesn't want to be novel? Generally, one person is a customer of five or six brothels, which is normal."

Chang Shan came to Wanhong Mansion

Chang Shan came from After Wanhonglou came out, he visited several brothels one after another, and what he said was not much different from what Aunt Ming said.

Now it seems that those girls are the most likely to know the identity of the client; or the murderer is following these officials, but Chang Shan thinks this possibility is unlikely. He can follow him all the time and kill at any time. Why choose the time when he is with a prostitute, so Chang Shan still thinks these girls are more suspicious.

And I am sure that the one named Feifei lied.

Chang Shan decided to follow the person named Feifei. Coincidentally, on the second day of tracking, Feng Laiyi's mother threw out more than a dozen signs, and the person named Feifei snatched a sign with the number "9544" .

Chang Shan didn’t understand why Feifei grabbed this brand. According to what Aunt Ming said, it might be because of a good relationship, it might be because she was bold and wealthy, or she might be the target of an assassination. In any case, let’s talk about it later.

As usual, she grabbed the sign and went to the appointment the next night, but after Feifei grabbed the sign, she left Feng Laiyi, hired a small sedan and went to a teahouse called Cuixuan, where another girl was already waiting. she.

The two of them talked and laughed. After talking for a while, Feifei actually took out the sign and said something to the other girl. Unfortunately, the tea room was noisy and Chang Shan hid far away, so he did not hear what the two said. .

After the two separated, Chang Shan followed the girl. This girl turned out to be a brothel girl named Yingying, and she was the number one in Yihongyuan.

Chang Shan couldn't understand. The colleagues were enemies. Even if the information was shared, it should be within Feng Laiyi. Each brothel had different customer numbers. What was Feifei looking for Yingying for?

No matter how many there were, Feifei was going to receive this customer the next day, so Chang Shan decided to continue following Feifei.

The next day, Feifei went out to serve a head of the Criminal Department named Zheng Tianyuan, but luckily everything was fine.

Chang Shan then went to monitor the person named Yingying. After four or five days of monitoring, Yingying did not participate in grabbing the sign. She just took a look and left every time.

What is she waiting for? Are you also waiting for a familiar number?

Chang Shan gave up. He had not monitored Feng Laiyi's Feifei for four or five days, and decided to go back and monitor Feifei. Who knew that Feifei had not taken any action and had not gone out.

On the third day after Chang Shan turned to monitor Feifei, another murder occurred. The murder scene was at Heqing Villa. It was Zheng Tianyuan who died, and it was the woman named Yingying who reported the crime.

Chang Shan still checked the scene first. He was stabbed in the back by a sharp weapon and died cleanly. Just like the scene where Liu Dagen was killed, there were no useful clues.Similarly, Yingying who reported the crime was not the murderer.

Moreover, this method of killing had also appeared among the eight victims before, but it was stabbed from the front of the chest.

This is by no means a coincidence, Chang Shan knows it very well. Feifei Gang and Yingying must have exchanged information, but how the two exchanged information, Chang Shan couldn't figure out.

Chang Shan then realized that he had been careless and had forgotten to investigate Zheng Tianyuan's identity for so many days.

Suddenly Chang Shan realized a problem: All cases that occurred at home were reported by the servants the next day; but cases that occurred in the villa were reported by brothel girls. Why did this happen? If the girl ran away in the case that happened at home, why did the girl report the case in the villa instead of running away?

Could it be that the murderer in the case that happened at home was the girl herself, while the murderer in the case that happened in the villa was someone else?

It seems that the person named Feifei and Yingying were only involved in the case, and the murderer was someone else.

Thinking of this, Chang Shan asked: "What is your relationship with Feng Laiyi's Feifei?"

Yingying did not expect Chang Shan to ask this question, and said: "I don't know, who is Feifei?"

Chang Shan asked again deliberately : "Who is the other person?"

"What other person?" Yingying asked innocently.

Chang Shan immediately changed his smile and said, "I'm just trying to scare you."

Chang Shan then let Yingying go and followed her for two days. Yingying also discovered that Chang Shan was following her and scolded Chang Shan angrily.

(4): Residual blood counterattack

Chang Shan's action clearly alarmed Yingying and Feifei. The two did not go out for five or six days in a row, and Chang Shan still followed them like a follower.

That night, Yingying went out in simple clothes, but Chang Shan followed her shamelessly, even so arrogantly that they were only two feet away. Yingying went further and further away, and gradually walked out of the city.

Chang Shan thought to himself that what he had been waiting for was finally coming.

Ever since Chang Shan started talking nonsense to Yingying that day, he had already made up his mind to force out the person behind it.

Chang Shan knew that he was a newcomer, and no one in the world knew about him. The other party might doubt his own strength, so he deliberately demonstrated that he was very good, and his tracking method was not as good as that of ordinary yamen servants, so that the other party would definitely take action to get rid of him. .

Chang Shan is waiting for this opportunity, and it seems that today is the day when this opportunity comes.

Chang Shan followed Yingying, more than twenty miles out of the city, and entered a large pine forest.

Yingying suddenly burst out, turned around, and threw out a hidden weapon. Chang Shan easily dodged it, but did not take action. Chang Shan knew that there must be someone behind Yingying, and those people must have come today. If Ying was easily subdued, Ying, the people hiding in the dark may escape, so we won't be able to catch them all.

Chang Shan decided to fight a war of attrition. All martial arts skills were just a little better than Yingying's. The two fought for a quarter of an hour, but they still couldn't decide the outcome. Yingying was out of breath, and Chang Shan was also sweating a little.

At this time, six more women appeared from the pine forest.

"Seven?" Chang Shan was stunned. He knew there was a gang behind these people, but he didn't expect there to be seven, and they were all women.

Yingying returned to the six people. One of them in purple clothes said: "Swift victory, this is the official way."

The other six people nodded and attacked Changshan together. Only then did Changshan see clearly that these seven people Zhong Yingying did not use any weapons, and the weapons used by the other six people were exactly the same as the injuries on the ten victims. They were all short weapons with unique shapes.

These six people attacked Chang Shan, and Chang Shan had to deal with them seriously. Unfortunately, there were many people on the other side and their moves were weird. Chang Shan was unable to guard against them. In less than a quarter of an hour, there were already more than a dozen injuries on his body. Seeing that the situation was not good, Chang Shan retreated and fought. withdraw.

Taking advantage of the fact that the escape route was not blocked, Chang Shan raised his hand and made a move to spread a hidden weapon. While several people in front of him were dodging, he quickly turned around and touched the ground. But as soon as he jumped up, he hooked his leg hard from Chang Shan's chin. Kicked hard.

Before Chang Shan could jump up, he fell heavily on his back to the ground. In an instant, the seven women surrounded him and pointed six weapons at Chang Shan. The leading woman in purple held a long cone-shaped iron stick and said: "Boy, He's pretty good at fighting, one can hit seven of us." After saying that, he raised his iron pick and stabbed Chang Shan.

"Slow, slow." Chang Shankou vomited blood and said weakly: "I am convinced that I lost at your hands, but as a police officer, I still haven't figured out your identities or how you did it. I am not reconciled to those who kill people.”

After speaking, Chang Shan spit out a mouthful of blood. After vomiting blood, he continued: "It's obvious that I can't walk today. Please help me before I die. Can you tell me what I want to know?" After speaking, he coughed up two more mouthfuls of blood.

The seven women who were watching saw that this person was like this. Even if he didn't kill him, it would be difficult to leave alive. The leading woman in purple said contemptuously: "Then I will help you. Remember, we are the seven fairies of Langshan."

Chang Shan nodded with difficulty, and then asked: "Seven heroines, how do you help each other kill? I don't understand it now."

The woman in purple clothes said: "The seven of us were hidden separately in the seven largest brothels in Jinling. This is also thanks to the good places of Jinling and Qinhuai River. There are so many brothels to ensure that the seven of us will not be exposed.

Secondly, I want to thank those who Lustful officials and the court's ban on officials engaging in prostitution, this group of good people The guys who were lustful and courageous began to call girls at home or in the manor outside.

The prostitute officials

kept secret in order not to be discovered, especially those at home. Just as we wanted, there was no one at all. Know who they brought home

html. 3 was brought home, and we all dealt with directly. It turns out that they did a good job of keeping secrets. They killed people for so long without knowing who did it;

but it was more troublesome for to be brought back to the manor. It is inevitable that people will find out if they are too lazy, so the three of us collaborated on . ml1

For example, when killing Zheng Tianyuan, Feifei knew the man's brand number through Feng Laiyi's girl. In fact, it was not the brand number, but the identity of the person corresponding to the brand number. We only killed the generals who participated in the battle against the previous dynasty.

She grabbed the sign and went to find out first to confirm the person's identity. She knew exactly what the person looked like and whether he was taking it home or to the manor. .

After Feifei gets hold of this, she will pass the person's accurate information to Yingying.

Yingying will then find out the person's number from the girl in Yihongyuan and grab it, but Yingying will not care about it. The person who took action was Le Hong, the third person. This was to ensure Yingying’s safety.

Because of this method, Yingying was After getting the sign, you will know which manor the other party has agreed to be at, and you can notify Lehong in time. On the scheduled date, Lehong will sneak in and ambush the person to kill him.

We will change it differently every time. After listening to the trio "

" Chang Shan couldn't help but say: "I admire it." "What's going on with your weapons? Although some wounds were caused by the same kind of weapons, the hand movements and weapon usage habits are obviously different."

Yingying interjected: "It's not to reduce the impact on us." I doubt that we are randomly grouped into groups of three each time, and the weapons are likely to be repeated, so the seven people use six weapons in rotation. "

Chang Shan wanted to ask more, but the woman in purple had obviously lost her patience and said harshly: "You already know too much, so leave some regrets. "

After saying that, he held up the iron stick and pierced Chang Shan, followed by a scream.

It was not Chang Shan who fell, but the woman in purple.

At the moment when the woman in purple pierced Chang Shan with the iron stick, Chang Shan He already leaned forward and punched the purple-clothed woman's knee. The knee was shattered with one punch.

This is one of Chang Shan's secret skills, Overlord Fist. At this time, Chang Shan's internal strength is fully activated, and the golden bell shield protects the body. After breaking the purple-clothed woman's knees, Chang Shan turns over on the spot and faces the other five weapons. A carp lifts his upper body. He raised it up and actually grabbed two of the bladeless weapons with both hands, a small hammer and a mace.

grabbed the weapon, grabbed it, and hit three other bladed weapons head-on. After a few ping-pong sounds, the six people around him were left with only one weapon. Everything turned around so fast, it was really completed in an instant.

Chang Shan did not give them a chance to be stunned. Instead, he grabbed his trump card and swept it behind him without looking. The woman in white and the woman in red behind him were hit in the head, one was killed and the other had his head broken.

Afterwards, Chang Shan quickly drew back his mace and swung it towards the woman in blue and Rongrong in front of him on the right. Rongrong's reaction was a bit slow and her neck was broken directly. Who made her grow so tall? The woman in blue reacted quickly. , lowered her waist and raised her head to avoid the attack, but Chang Shan's sweeping leg hit her ankle hard, causing the woman in blue to fall down.

Now only the woman in yellow and Feifei are left. The two of them only have a judge's pen. Feifei found out that she had been deceived by Chang Shan. This man's martial arts was unfathomable, so he turned around and ran away. Chang Shan was too lazy to chase.

Instead, he flipped his wrist and hooked the tip of his mace towards the woman in blue. He had no choice but to do so. The circle formed by the seven fairies just now was a bit too small, and Chang Shan couldn't spread it.

At the same time, the handle of the small hammer in Chang Shan's hand was pointed at the woman in blue's throat. The woman in blue found that the tip of the mace was behind her head and the handle of the hammer was under her throat. She could not avoid it up or down, but she still did not forget it. Strike, the judge's pen in his right hand stabs Chang Shan's head.

Chang Shan didn't even dodge, but directly hit the woman in blue's head. The woman in blue really didn't expect this move, and she was hit so hard that she fainted.

Chang Shan then looked at Feifei who had already run away, smiled contemptuously, and used his inner strength to throw out the mace in his hand. The mace spun with a whirring sound and flew straight to the back of Feifei's head.

Feifei fell down, but at this moment, an iron stick stabbed Chang Shan's left waist. Fortunately, Chang Shan reacted quickly and raised his left foot to change the direction of the iron stick. The iron stick flew vertically. , Chang Shan grabbed it with his left hand, threw it out smoothly, and pierced the palm of the purple-clothed woman, nailing it firmly into the ground.

The woman in purple screamed and cursed: "You are pretending to be a pig and eating the tiger."

Chang Shan sneered and said: "This is called counter-attack with residual blood." As he spoke, he began to untie his belt.

Early the next morning, outside the criminal department, Chang Shan led four women with a belt, and these four women dragged three female corpses.

Unfortunately, the Ministry of Justice has not opened the door yet, so Chang Shan stood at the door for half an hour.

Changshan became famous in one stop.

After Bai Changgeng arrived, he assisted Chang Shan in transferring the four living women to the Ministry of Punishment, and asked Chang Shan about the incident.

After listening, Bai Changgeng asked doubtfully: "Why were you so sure that there was something wrong with Feifei the first time?"

Chang Shan said: "The murder weapon, she is too familiar with that murder weapon, what she said The hook length of the murder weapon exactly matches the depth of the wound. If the murder weapon had not been used, it would be impossible to say so accurately. "

The case was closed. Chang Shan took off the token from his waist and handed it back to Bai Changgeng, "Give it back to you. ".

Bai Changgeng didn't answer. He looked at it and smiled and said, "This token will be yours from now on. Welcome to join the Six Doors."

Uncle Chang already knew about the establishment of the Six Doors. He didn't expect that he would come in. He was so excited. He asked: "How many people are there in our six doors?"

Bai Changgeng smiled and said: "You, me, two"
