Dimension Paradise, I am a summoning apostle
Chapter 152 Yang Xiucai
Chapter 152 Yang Xiucai
Linyuan City is indeed prosperous, but Chu Danqing saw quite a few gang members.
Azure Dragon Society, White Tiger Hall, Vermillion Bird Tower, and Xuanwu Gate.
From peddlers to salt and iron transport, everything was run by these four gangs.
However, the gangs are just a group of white gloves, and the officials of Linyuan City are still the ones who truly control everything.
The work is done by the gang and the blame is taken by the gang, but the reputation and benefits definitely do not belong to the gang.
The top leaders of Linyuan City have military power and manpower, so suppressing these four gangs is just a piece of cake.
Whoever disobeys will be replaced.
Chu Danqing came to the above conclusion based on Wei Chuyi's description and the intelligence he observed and collected after entering the city.
Otherwise, if it really follows the gang style, Linyuan City will not be able to generate profits in an orderly manner.
"Thank you, sir, for burying my mother." Wei Chuyi looked at the small grave mound in front of him and thought about kneeling down and kowtow to Chu Danqing.
Chu Danqing was faster and grabbed the other person.
"You're welcome. It's just a small amount of money." Chu Danqing helped him up.
The first thing to do after entering the city is to bury the person.
Otherwise, it would be a big deal to leave the body like that.
Wei Chuyi simply went to a coffin shop and bought a coffin, and buried his mother in the Wei family's ancestral tomb, together with his father.
As for the funeral, it did not take place and was concluded hastily.
Since he had offended Yichun Tower and Qinglong Society, no relatives or friends dared to come.
Everyone was too busy trying to avoid him, so how could they dare to get close to him?
"Then sir, what should we do next?" Wei Chuyi asked.
He wanted revenge, but he didn't know how.
Chu Danqing’s previous bold words now mean nothing.
You can't just draw your knife and kill him, then what's the difference between him and Qinglong.
"Well, what do you think?" Chu Danqing asked casually.
"I'm right." Wei Chuyi said suddenly, "We can go ask Mr. Yang."
"Mr. Yang is a scholar on our street. He knows everything."
When Chu Danqing heard this, he found it interesting and nodded in agreement. Then he asked about Mr. Yang's situation.
On the way there, Wei Chuyi also introduced Mr. Yang to Chu Danqing.
The other party's name was Yang Wenju, a local squire in Linyuan City. After passing the imperial examination, he failed repeatedly and came back to manage his family business.
He likes to meddle in other people's affairs and stand up for others.
The people on this street have all benefited from Yang Wenju's help and have been spared from harassment by some gangs.
Unfortunately, he was just a scholar and was powerless.
But he was stubborn and had a good eloquence. Not only did he have a bad attitude towards the gang, he also contradicted the government several times and left the officials speechless.
It was because of his status as a scholar and his reputation in the local area that he was able to stay safe.
However, he also offended many people in Linyuan City, and his career in the government was blocked.
Chu Danqing didn't believe it all. What Wei Chuyi said were just rumors.
But if that's true, maybe he actually has a lot of information that can help Chu Danqing break the deadlock.
With Dabao, the two soon arrived at Yang Xiucai's house.
Although he was just a scholar, his family business was indeed considerable.
After the announcement was made at the door, someone took them to see Yang Wenju.
Normally, Wei Chuyi couldn't see Yang Wenjuan, and couldn't even get through the gatehouse.
Yang Wenju may have this kindness, but his housekeeper and servants may not.
It’s all thanks to Chu Danqing.
"Wei Chuyi, has your mother recovered?" Yang Wenju looked at Chu Danqing when he saw the two of them, then asked Wei Chuyi, "Who is this?"
"Thank you, Mr. Yang, for your concern. My mother was forced to death by the people in Yichun Tower the day before yesterday." Wei Chuyi said immediately, "It was Brother Chu who helped bury my mother."
Hearing this, Yang Wenju's face froze, and then he snorted coldly: "Ever since Yichunlou became associated with the Qinglong Society, it has become even more unscrupulous."
The prerequisite for him to help others is that he has to know the situation. Otherwise, how can he help if he doesn’t even know the situation?
"So you want me to help you write a lawsuit against Yichunlou?" Yang Wenju asked.
Writing a complaint and then helping to go to court to file the complaint is his common way of helping others.
After a few times, as long as the lawsuit was submitted, the problem was mostly solved.
No one wants to be scolded by Yang Wenju for three days and two nights.
Yang Wenju actually knew that his actions could not change the situation in Linyuan City at all.
But we still adhere to the idea of changing as much as possible.
Wei Chuyi looked at Chu Danqing, and he didn't know whether to complain or not.
Seeing Wei Chuyi's actions, Yang Wenju continued, "We can win by filing a lawsuit."
As soon as he finished speaking, a servant spread out white paper and began to grind ink.
"At most, Yichunlou will have to pay you some money in compensation. It's definitely not going to bring them down, let alone make the Qinglong Society behind them pay the price."
"If you don't mind, I can go with you." As he said that, Yang Wenju picked up the brush, dipped it in ink and began to write: "Take the silver, pack up and leave Linyuan City." "But I want revenge." Wei Chuyi said courageously.
These words made Yang Wen, who was writing a petition, stop and raise his hand.
"It's not that I don't want to help you, it's that I can't help you." Yang Wenju sighed and said, "It must be this Mr. Chu who gave you the confidence."
"Since you've come to me, if it's about the Azure Dragon Society, how can I help?"
He put down his pen and looked at Chu Danqing.
He had this idea when Wei Chuyi brought Chu Danqing to his door, but he was not sure how to bring it up.
Chu Danqing's temperament and clothing are far superior to those of ordinary people. You can tell at a glance that he is not ordinary.
"Yes." Chu Danqing said bluntly: "Where should I start? It would be best if..."
Before he could finish his words, the noise outside the door interrupted him and the old housekeeper of the Yang Mansion rushed in hurriedly.
"Master, it's bad. The officials are here to arrest you." The old butler was panting, with a look of fear on his face.
Yang Wenju wasn't frightened at all, but he frowned. "What? What are you doing to me?"
If you have not done anything wrong, you will naturally not be afraid.
"Of course it's the serious crime of you having an affair with Bai Xiaohe and instructing her to murder her husband." A captain of the police followed in with a sneer.
Following behind were several constables, holding shackles, handcuffs and other items.
The incident happened suddenly and Chu Danqing did not expect to encounter such a situation.
But he didn't know the truth, so he didn't act rashly.
After all, you can only know a person's face but not his heart. Who knows whether Yang Wenjuan is pretending or not?
At least Dabao didn't say that the captain was lying.
As soon as these words came out, Yang Wenju felt his blood boiling: "Asshole!"
"You, how can you tarnish someone's innocence out of thin air." Yang Wenju was so angry that he was shaking all over. Once they said this, not only would his own reputation be tarnished, but it would also affect Bai Xiaohe.
"Innocent?" The captain said disdainfully, "Bai Xiaohe has confessed."
"You were the one who ordered her to kill her husband so that she could live with him. How could that be desecrating you?"
"Catch him, put him in the prison van, and take him back for trial." The captain gave the order.
Several constables rushed forward, and Yang Wenju was no match for them. He was first put in shackles and then handcuffs.
He was put into a prison van by several constables in a miserable state and escorted to the court.
"There's something fishy about this." Chu Danqing touched his chin and looked at the chaos in the Yang Mansion.
"Sir, this is unjust. They are wrongly accusing my master." Upon hearing this, the old housekeeper hurriedly said, "Bai Xiaohe is just a kitchen helper. She doesn't even see my master all year round."
"How could she commit adultery, let alone instruct Bai Xiaohe to murder her husband? Please, sir, save my master."
The old steward knew that his master had always been a thorn in the side of the Linyuan City government. Now that he was in prison, there was no chance of him coming out alive.
Chu Danqing was thinking about one thing, that is, why take action now?
How come the two amulets of scholar status and fame suddenly stopped working?
If you want to take action, you should have done it before. Not only can you make an example of someone, but you can also save yourself from trouble.
The more likely possibility is that Yang Wenjuan had not touched upon the core interests before, so he was allowed to act as he pleased.
"Has your master offended anyone recently?" Chu Danqing asked, and then added, "Someone new."
If the rumors about Yang Wenju are true, then it can basically be said that he has offended people everywhere, so we have to ask for the latest information.
This made the old steward look bitter. It was not that there were not enough, but that there were too many.
"Forget it, go and find out the whole story first." Seeing this, Chu Danqing did not force it.
He is also confused now.
"Okay, I'll go right away." The old housekeeper regarded Chu Danqing as a life-saving straw, and after saying that, he hurried to inquire.
Watching the other person leaving, Chu Danqing felt that the 10 points of charm provided by his Dragon and Phoenix Appearance were indeed very useful.
Otherwise, under normal circumstances, how could the old butler trust him, a stranger who had just arrived.
It was precisely because of his own charm and the old butler's panic that Chu Danqing temporarily had the power to mobilize the Yang Mansion through the old butler.
But this power may not last long.
Now that Yang Wenjuan has gotten into trouble, the Yang family has become a piece of fat meat.
Everyone wants to come and have a bite.
While Chu Danqing was thinking, he saw another group of officers rushing over and starting to drive away everyone in Yang's mansion.
Then the seal was put on and the entire Yang Mansion was seized as stolen goods.
Regardless of whether Yang Wenjuan could survive the imprisonment, the family business was gone.
It’s not that the top leaders of Linyuan City don’t want to deal with him, but Yang Wenjuan is not worth it.
If they really took action, like now, in less than an hour, the entire Yang Mansion would decline from its peak.
The speed is astonishing.
This also means that there is a high probability that Yang Wenju has discovered something that made the top leaders of Linyuan City decide to take action.
Of course, it is also possible that Yang Wenju really had an affair with Bai Xiaohe and then instructed her to murder her husband. Chu Danqing did not know the truth, so it was difficult for her to jump to conclusions.
Dabao's intuition is not omnipotent, and his judgment of whether the captain is lying is based on perception rather than the truth.
Since neither of them lied, there must be something wrong.
