Jiang Ningwan raised the corner of his lips in satisfaction, "Why don't you catch him and take him away quickly?"

Wang Jin came back to his senses and said, "Yes!"

"Take Fan Chengsong back to the county government office!"

Fan Chengsong was immediately taken away, shouting and screaming.

Wang Jin glanced at the people behind Jiang Ningwan, confused. "Are they General Jiang's men?"

"Yes, what's wrong?" Jiang Ningwan raised her eyes and looked at him.

For some reason, Wang Jin felt a little nervous when he met Jiang Ningwan's eyes. He nodded and looked away, "I just didn't expect that General Jiang's subordinates were all women."

"What's so strange about that? My personal guards are all women."

"I am ignorant and ignorant."

Yan Huixue and others secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

They were not from the military and their temperaments were different from those of the soldiers, so they were afraid that Wang Jin would notice something strange.

Jiang Ningwan came back to her senses and said, "The two people who ran away just now are also my people."

"Please, Inspector Wang, don't hurt them."

Hearing this, Wang Jin was slightly surprised.

After a moment of silence, he exclaimed, "Did General Jiang deliberately create this commotion to let the real murderer down? To quietly inspect the body and search for evidence?"

I even thought of a reason for her.

Jiang Ningwan smiled with satisfaction, "Patrol Officer Wang is indeed smart!"

Being praised by Jiang Ningwan, Wang Jin smiled sheepishly, "It's General Jiang who is in charge of this!"

After a moment of hesitation, Wang Jin quickly said, "I wonder why General Jiang came to Qianyang City this time?"

"Is there anything I can do to help?"

Jiang Ningwan replied, "I came to Qianyang City to look for medicine for my cousin."

"Looking for medicine? Go to Yuyin Pavilion?" Wang Jin was puzzled.

"I came here to get information. Isn't this the best place to get information? I just happened to run into a dead person, so I came to take a look."

"I didn't intend to reveal my identity this time. Cao Hui's murderer has already been apprehended, so I won't disturb your investigation."

"Farewell."

After Jiang Ningwan finished speaking, she walked out.

Yan Huixue and the others followed Jiang Ningwan as they left with their heads held high.

When he reached the stairs, Wang Jin suddenly caught up with him again.

"General Jiang, please stay!"

"Cao Hui is the son of our county magistrate. I'm afraid I can't give him an explanation on my own. If you need General Jiang to testify, please don't refuse."

Jiang Ningwan agreed readily, "Of course no problem."

"But I can't stay in Qianyang City for a few days. If you want to find me, please do it as soon as possible."

"I'm staying at the Fulin Inn."

After saying that, Jiang Ningwan turned around and left gracefully.

As they walked out of Yuyin Pavilion, the guards brought Xiao Lidong and Xiao Fuxue back.

"Sir, we've captured two assassins, but they say... they're from the Ling Wei Army."

Wang Jin took a look and saw that they were indeed two women.

Then he waved his hand and said, "They are indeed Ling Weijun, let them go quickly."

Xiao Fuxue and Xiao Lidong rubbed their arms and walked to Jiang Ningwan.

"Can I see General Jiang off?" Wang Jin said enthusiastically.

"No need, it's very close."

After saying that, Jiang Ningwan took his men away.

Looking at their departing backs, Wang Jin was unable to come back to his senses.

The subordinate beside him also scratched his head, "When did Ling Weijun have so many women?"

"Never heard of it."

Jiang Ningwan and others immediately rushed back to Fulin Inn.

When they arrived at the inn room, Yan Huixue and the others let down their guard and knelt down in front of Jiang Ningwan with serious and solemn expressions.

"Thank you General Jiang for your help today, otherwise our Fenxin Tower would have been blamed!"

Jiang Ningwan bent down and helped her up, "I saved you for selfish reasons."

Yan Huixue looked at her seriously, "General Jiang, if you have any instructions, please feel free to ask."

"As long as we can, we will definitely repay General Jiang's kindness."

Jiang Ningwan raised the corner of her lips slightly, "I want to recruit Fenxin Tower."

"Are you willing?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the faces of several people changed suddenly and they looked at each other in disbelief.

Yan Huixue was shocked. "General Jiang, are you kidding?"

"Are people like us... qualified to join the Lingwei Army?"

Jiang Ningwan answered frankly: "Why not?"

Yan Huixue lowered her head somewhat in self-abasement, took a deep breath, and spoke slowly:

"General Jiang may not know what we do."

"Although we didn't kill Cao Hui, we killed many people."

"There's blood on my hands."

Hearing this, Jiang Ningwan smiled faintly, "I know."

"But you killed people who deserved to die."

"The same goes for Cao Hui."

Hearing this, Yan Huixue looked up in shock. Why did Jiang Ningwan seem to know them so well?

Obviously they have nothing in common.

The same goes for what happened to Cao Hui tonight. How did Jiang Ningwan know about it?

"General Jiang, have you investigated us?"

Jiang Ningwan thought about it and smiled, "You can think so."

"I'm just asking you, are you willing to bring the people from Fenxin Tower to join the Lingwei Army?"

Now that the question has been asked, why should she hesitate?

"If we can, of course we would!"

"but……"

Jiang Ningwan interrupted her: "Nothing serious."

"As long as you are willing, I can let you join the Lingwei Army."

"The government officials will definitely come looking for me tomorrow. You can't leave for now, otherwise it will arouse suspicion."

As she spoke, she looked at Xiao Fuxue and said, "Give them a few sets of our clothes. They will stay at the inn for the next two days."

I'll take them back after I solve Cao Hui's case.

Then she asked everyone else to go back and rest, leaving only Yan Huixue alone.

The doors and windows of the room were closed, and the dim candlelight flickered all night.

Yan Huixue slowly spoke about Cao Hui: "Most of the brothels and music halls in Qianyang City are related to Cao Hui."

"Qianyang City is a bustling place for merchants, with convenient transportation. It's a popular stopover for caravans from the north and south. Yuyin Pavilion is also Qianyang City's biggest entertainment destination and its most profitable business."

"Many merchants would also buy girls from Yuyin Pavilion to take home or keep them company on the road."

“Prices vary.”

"As a result, Yuyin Pavilion needed a large number of girls. How could there be so many desperate girls going to brothels? Cao Hui then secretly kidnapped and sold girls from decent families."

"There are missing women in dozens of surrounding villages and towns."

"Cao Hui locked these people up for training. Those who behaved well would be trained in music, chess, calligraphy, and painting, and learn the art of pleasing others."

"Those who refused to cooperate or tried to escape were subjected to waterboarding, causing pain without leaving any scars."

"If the injury is severe and the bones are hard, they will chop off the hands and feet or even gouge out the eyes, and then dump the body in a mass grave."

Yan Huixue was silent for a moment, then said with a feeling of helplessness, "Last night I carried someone back from the mass grave, but he died."

"Cao Hui's methods are inhumane. Qianyang City is completely controlled by the Cao family. We...can't save anyone."

After hearing this, Jiang Ningwan felt a chill down her spine.

She knew that Cao Hui was not a good person, but she didn't know there was such a hidden story.

She had originally intended to save only the people in Fenxin Tower this time, but after hearing what she heard, she decided to eradicate this shady business completely!
