Chapter 88 Money, Power, Beauty, and the World!
Om-! ! !
Inside the command center, the supercomputer, representing the highest computing power in China, began to operate at full speed!
Massive amounts of data streamed across the screen like a waterfall!
Just ten seconds!
A cold, hard number appeared right in the center of the screen!
[Relevance: 36%]
"36%..."
Zhu Feng's eyes turned icy as he looked at the number.
This probability is frighteningly high!
Feng Jing is very likely a key link in this chain of crimes!
Without any hesitation, he immediately picked up the phone.
"Comrade Zhang Fan, preliminary confirmation indicates that Feng Jing is involved in human trafficking!"
"Relevance: 36%!"
"His reaction just now was feigned, and his motives for sending you this beauty might not be pure!"
"Repeating, his reaction was feigned..."
……
The Great Qin Dynasty, Shangdang Commandery.
Inside a private room of the restaurant.
Zhang Fan clearly heard Zhu Feng's cold and precise report.
"...Relevance 36%...His reaction was feigned; his motives are impure..."
Upon hearing this news...
Zhang Fan's hand holding the wine cup was as steady as a rock.
The smile on his face even widened a bit.
They appeared increasingly kind and expectant.
However, beneath that cynical exterior...
In my heart, however, a chilling cold had already set in!
36%!
camouflage!
it is good!
What a fine governor of Shangdang!
What a "graveyard of singing and dancing"!
He looked at Feng Jing, who was bowing and scraping and had a fawning expression on his face.
That smiling face, in Zhang Fan's eyes at this moment, was no different from death!
Feng Jing, however, was completely unaware of this!
Seeing the master's delighted expression, he thought he had finally scratched the itch, and became even more energetic!
"Immortal Master! You are unaware of this!"
Feng Jing leaned even closer, his voice extremely low.
"The beauties of our Shangdang County aren't just limited to local women!"
"I also have some connections with those Hu tribes on the border!"
His eyes gleamed with greed and cruelty!
"Do you prefer something strong or something gentle?"
"Here, I have some Xiongnu women as spirited as wild horses!"
"There were also Yuezhi beauties with skin as white as milk!"
"I guarantee they're all virgins who've never been with anyone!"
"Just say the word, Immortal Master, and tonight, I will deliver it to your residence so you can experience this exotic flavor!"
Towards the end, he even let out a lewd "hehehe" laugh.
however!
He didn't see it.
Fu Su, sitting next to Zhang Fan, heard his unbearable words.
His face turned deathly pale in an instant!
His hand holding the wine glass was trembling violently!
brute!
He still thought he was a good official!
But now...
Fusu suddenly looked at his teacher, Zhang Fan.
But Zhang Fan was still smiling, as if he was extremely pleased with everything.
Fusu was immediately puzzled!
Teacher... how come you're still in the mood to enjoy these?
After hearing Feng Jing's words, Zhang Fan's smile was incredibly bright!
However, there wasn't a trace of warmth in that smile.
Only chilling killing intent remained!
it is good!
very good!
I just wanted to test the waters!
Unexpectedly, this directly unearthed a massive web of crimes connecting the inside and outside of the Qin Dynasty!
Unfortunately, the Qin Dynasty had laws prohibiting the sale of slaves!
No restrictions on foreign ethnic groups!
but!
Feng Jing, oh Feng Jing!
You deserve to die!
Despite a surge of murderous intent within him, Zhang Fan remained outwardly calm, waving his hand and saying with a smile:
"Haha! Prefect Feng, you're too kind!"
"Those exotic customs, I've seen them all before, they're nothing special to me."
"Just... a simple arrangement, something with the local specialties of Shangdang County will do."
As he spoke, he added, with a pointed remark:
"You know what I mean."
Upon hearing this!
Feng Jing was taken aback.
A local specialty? Is the Immortal Master... looking down on women from the Hu people?
Immediately, his eyes erupted with unprecedented ecstasy!
understood!
He understood completely!
Immortal Master, this is truly elegant!
It's about taste!
Although those barbarian women were novel, they were ultimately crude and uncivilized. How could they compare to the gentle and refined women of the Central Plains?
The immortal master is targeting me; he likes local food!
And he doesn't like me to speak so bluntly!
A master!
This is truly the demeanor of a master!
"Understood! Understood! Your humble servant understands!"
Feng Jing's fawning expression deepened, and he bowed even lower, looking as if he understood perfectly!
"Your Excellency is so refined, Master! I am truly unworthy of such respect!"
"Rest assured! I guarantee everything will be arranged perfectly!"
"This is absolutely the most outstanding 'specialty' of Shangdang County!"
"Okay, okay!"
Zhang Fan nodded in satisfaction.
Next, after several rounds of drinks and several dishes, the atmosphere became even more relaxed.
The atmosphere in the private room reached an unprecedented peak!
The officials saw that the immortal master and the prefect were having a very pleasant conversation.
Everyone thought they had found a powerful patron, and they rushed forward to offer toasts and shower each other with flattery.
The banquet, in which the guests and hosts enjoyed themselves immensely, finally came to an end as the sun began to set and dusk fell.
Zhang Fan and his party were respectfully ushered into a large courtyard within the prefectural governor's residence.
After Feng Jing and the other officials left, expressing their deepest gratitude,
The courtyard gate closed, leaving only Zhang Fan, Fu Su, and Mo Feng in the entire compound.
"Bang!"
The gate to the courtyard had just closed!
Fusu could no longer contain himself!
He suddenly stepped forward, grabbed Zhang Fan's sleeve, and asked,
"teacher!"
His voice was trembling!
"During the meal... what... what exactly did you mean?!"
"Feng Jing is clearly committing the heinous crime of human trafficking!"
Why are you still pretending to be friendly with him?
"She even...she even demanded beautiful women from him?!"
"We bear heavy responsibilities; how can we... how can we indulge in such pleasures?!"
When Mo Feng heard Fu Su questioning him, he couldn't help but mutter something under his breath:
"What's wrong with beauty? Aren't men pursuing money, power, and beautiful women?"
As soon as he said it, he immediately realized that it was inappropriate to say this in front of the Crown Prince.
He quickly shrank back and secretly glanced at Fusu.
Zhang Fan thought to himself:
And the world!
Of course, Mo Feng would never dare to say such a thing!
If I were to say it, I'd be accused of treason and lose my head!
He did not answer Fusu immediately, but first looked around warily.
The courtyard arranged by the prefectural governor's office is quite elegant!
Just in case, Zhang Fan grabbed Fusu with one hand and pulled Mofeng with the other.
They were led to the open stone slab ground in the center of the courtyard.
The view from here is wide open, making it difficult for someone to hide and eavesdrop.
After confirming that the environment was relatively safe, Zhang Fan lowered his voice.
"Fusu, Mofeng, do you really think I'm such a pleasure-seeking, ignorant, and mediocre person?"
Fusu was taken aback, and the anger in his eyes was replaced by doubt.
Mo Feng blinked and looked at Zhang Fan.
"Of course I know Feng Jing has a big problem!"
Zhang Fan's voice was even lower, but every word was clear.
"Weren't all those words and probes during the meal precisely designed to expose his true colors?"
"You heard it yourself, he admitted he has connections!"
"What does it mean that we can obtain goods from the Xiongnu and Yuezhi?"
