Chapter 39: Anti-pornography, everyone squats down with their heads in their hands
The Chief Justice's goatee was trembling.
Looks like I'm going to mess it up this time.
There is no way to let Shen Changgong fail.
"Then what about them soliciting prostitution without paying..."
"How can it be considered prostitution if you don't pay?"
"Then the beating they did..."
"We, the security forces, were collecting evidence and hadn't broken any laws. Those people were trying to stop us and even resorting to violence, obstructing the investigation. Shouldn't they be beaten?"
"hiss……"
Everyone around gasped.
Especially Zhang Yide and Zhou Hu, the way they looked at Shen Changgong was even more astonishing.
The Grand Commandant is the Grand Commandant, how can this be explained away?
And every word has a law to follow.
At this point, the court judge could only sigh and say,
"Well, Lord Shen is right. I almost misjudged a good man. Zhang Yide and Zhou Hu are both acquitted."
"Thank you, sir. Thank you, sir."
The two of them hurriedly thanked him.
"Retire!"
The Chief Justice turned around and left unhappily.
However, Shen Changgong stopped him.
"Your Excellency, the case cannot be closed like this. The trial is not yet complete."
"Ah? How can the trial not be over? I have already found them not guilty."
The Chief Justice was surprised.
"They are innocent, but what about the guilty ones?"
"Who is guilty?"
Shen Changgong pointed at the three women kneeling on the ground and said,
"Based on the evidence our security officer, a thousand-man captain, risked his life to collect, as well as their confessions, we can see that they are an illegal den engaged in the flesh trade. Shouldn't they be investigated?"
Everyone was stunned.
No, they just got something for free, so how could it be considered putting themselves in danger?
The madam immediately panicked and said quickly,
"No, no, no, they... they paid money. If we count it as selling silver, then they are soliciting prostitution."
Shen Changgong sneered,
"Oh? But when you came just now, you insisted that you didn't pay any money. You even wanted to guarantee it with your life. Now you change your statement and say you did pay.
Do you really think that I and the Chief Justice are fools who will allow you to bully us?
I ask you again, did you give the money?"
"Give it."
"Then you are giving a false confession, which is an even greater crime. Moreover, you are offering your life as a guarantee. This has already been presented as evidence in court."
"That's not given."
"If you didn't give it to me, you would be framing an imperial officer, which is an even greater crime!"
"I……"
The madam panicked and sat on the ground crying,
"So did you give it to me or not?!"
The situation has completely reversed. Previously, it was a dead end for Zhang Yide and Zhou Hu, but now it has become a dead end for the brothel.
The court official said quickly,
"Sir Shen, since they are not guilty of prostitution, then selling silver should not be a crime either. This is a mutual thing."
"How can it be the same? If they didn't pay, it wouldn't count, but they asked for money. Since they asked for money, it means they have already determined that this is selling silver.
They have admitted it themselves. Should the Chief Justice still defend the criminals?
I suddenly feel that the Minister of Justice is also very suspicious. How about the Minister of Justice come with us?"
Tingwei: ???
What's this? Did you win the judge's ruling in court?
"No, no, I absolutely do not intend to defend the criminal."
"Then please ask the Minister of Justice to issue an official document so that we can search the brothel and arrest the owner behind it."
"Um...okay then."
The Chief Justice was wise and protected himself, so he quickly wrote down the official document.
Shen Changgong was certain that there must be someone behind this matter who was plotting to trick him. This Chief Justice might have been bribed, but he was not very loyal and was unwilling to take the risk of offending him too much at a critical moment.
After receiving the document, Shen Changgong put it in his arms and said,
"Since the evidence in this case was collected by my security forces, we will be fully responsible. Your Majesty has given me the authority to investigate all major cases. Thank you, Lord Tingwei."
"Zhang Yide, take all these people to the security army camp, and mobilize a team of 100 men to accompany me...
Forget it, just go ahead.”
Shen Changgong was worried that by the time he returned to the Security Army to mobilize people, someone from the Supreme Court would have gone to the brothel to tip it off, and by the time he got there, the place would have been empty.
If you don't have enough manpower, you can just requisition the patrol teams you meet on the road.
Shen Changgong took the documents and got on the carriage with Gongsun Wan'er. Zhang Yide asked a few people to escort the brothels and their thugs back to the security army camp. He and Zhou Hu followed Shen Changgong to the brothel.
In the carriage, Gongsun Wan'er glanced at Shen Changgong with her beautiful eyes and said,
"Aren't you going to Shadow Guard?"
"This matter is quite important. Opportunities are rare and will never come back. Besides, it's more appropriate to go to a place like that at night."
"Well, I didn't expect you to be quite capable. You were able to turn this situation around. Your Majesty was right about you."
"you flatter me."
Shen Changgong said calmly,
"It's obvious that someone is setting us up this time. Zhang Yide and Zhou Hu were rewarded for their meritorious service in the last raid, so they definitely won't do it for free.
The fact that it has come to this means that someone must be plotting something.
I will follow the clues, find out who is behind this, and then catch them all in one fell swoop.
I was just worried about not having any leverage, but they just showed up on their own accord. This time, another powerful person is going to fall."
"You're so cruel, but I like it."
Gongsun Wan'er praised it.
"It doesn't matter if you like me. It doesn't affect my determination to take revenge on you."
Shen Changgong said coldly.
Gongsun Wan'er was so angry that her teeth ached.
"You are so narcissistic. If I give you a slope, you will climb it. Even if I jump from here and die outside, I will never like you."
After being angry for a while, Gongsun Wan'er asked again,
"You always say you want to take revenge on me. How do you plan to take revenge on me?"
After Shen Changgong thought about it carefully, he answered seriously,
"I haven't decided yet. It depends on your performance. Try to remain as rebellious as possible. That way I can maintain my determination to retaliate against you."
"Son of a bitch!"
Gongsun Wan'er cursed, turned her head sideways to look out the window, turned her back to Shen Changgong and ignored him, leaving him with only the graceful pear-shaped figure from behind.
She has small breasts, a thin waist and a perky butt, which is quite sexy.
A lot of security forces were gathered along the way, at least a hundred people. They came to the brothel in a mighty manner. Some of them surrounded it outside, and the others followed Shen Changgong in.
"The security forces are investigating a case and conducting a crackdown on prostitution. Everyone, get down on your knees!"
Shen Changgong shouted loudly, and the people drinking in the brothel hall were instantly stunned.
What...what does that mean?
Squat down with your head in your hands?
Seeing the fully armed government troops, those who were drinking with beauties in their arms also squatted down quickly.
Ten people came over to control these people, and the others went upstairs, kicking doors one by one and arresting people.
