"Sir, this is Officer Luo from the Security Office of District C of Milan City..."
Two days later, Lao K contacted a plainclothes police detective who knew the situation through the hotel manager and brought him to Chen Xing.
"Master Chen, good afternoon!" Officer Luo bowed and saluted. Although the other party is not a local noble, as long as there is money to give, who cares what his status is!
Plainclothes police detectives have been walking on the edge of light and darkness all year round, and are used to the darkness of human nature and the desolation of the world. As the saying goes, "How can I not have wet shoes if I stand by the river all the time?" Over time, my mind has become muddled. I look at problems very differently from ordinary police officers. I tend to focus more on real interests than on professional ethics.
"Hello, Officer Luo." Chen Xing clasped his hands on his folded knees, "I want to know the whereabouts of Ashahi Poli, her mother and two sisters. This old Mr. K is their Old friends, I have received kindness from them when I was in trouble, so I hope I can repay them."
"As you wish, sir." Officer Luo took off his hat in greeting, and then told everything he knew.
As we all know, on the day Farrington fell, the Asashi mother and daughter, along with other local female nobles, were pressed into the streets by black-feathered soldiers and humiliated and teased in public, with tens of thousands of onlookers.
This is the tradition of the Red Kingdom. On the day the city was broken, all the male nobles were massacred, while the female nobles were paraded in the streets and allowed to be eaten by mermaids. This was known as "killing princes and playing with princesses".
Although Old K had read about this matter in the newspaper, the expression on his face was still a little unnatural when he heard Luo Ganyuan's narration. He had grown up watching Ashahi Poli. He was not married and had children, so Miss Ashahi was half a daughter to him. Hearing such an experience, he was naturally filled with grief and anger.
The carnival lasted for three days and three nights, after which he was assigned to the quartermaster camp. The army returned home a few months later and resold them to skin and meat traders. After that, they were resold in many places. I heard they are now in the slums of Area F.
The areas of Milan City are divided according to letters. The letters from the back represent the poorer. District F is the bottom area of Milan City. Old K's fists were clenched tightly. Although there were only a few simple sentences to describe it, it fully reflected the experiences of Asashi's mother and daughter, and the tragedy in them was indescribable.
As the saying goes, a fallen phoenix is not as good as a chicken, but in this red country, let alone a chicken, it is even worse than a worm.
Chen Xing winked at Jian Yue Canglian behind him, who stepped forward and handed Luo Ganyuan a bag of gold coins.
"Thank you, sir." Officer Luo took the money bag and nodded in thanks.
"It's five hundred here, and there will be another five hundred when it's done." Chen Xing said lightly.
"I'll take care of this!" Officer Luo said, patting his chest.
Half an hour later, under the leadership of plainclothes detectives, Chen Xing and Lao K came to a shabby tavern in the slums of Area F.
The stench of sweat and alcoholic vomit permeated the small space, and several hungover cleaners collapsed on the greasy benches, snoring.
The thin boss was lying on the bar and raised his head alertly when he heard the sound of the door opening. When he saw it was Officer Luo, he immediately turned around and ran away. But Officer Luo had expected it, and with lightning-fast movements, he grabbed the opponent's shoulders first and stepped on the handle of the back door, completely cutting off the opponent's thoughts of escaping.
"Hehe, Boss Luo, what brought you here? Welcome, welcome!"
Seeing that he couldn't escape, the bar owner forced out a smile, but his face was wrinkled, which was uglier than crying.
"I'm looking for some women." Officer Luo took out the photo of the Polly family provided by Old K and pointed out Count Polly's wife and three daughters.
"I seem to have seen it somewhere..." The bar owner scratched his head and thought, and finally patted his head, "I remembered it. In the Dirty Cat Nest, I heard that she was a noble lady, and the price is more expensive than other wild cats..."
"Where are you? Take us there!" Officer Luo grabbed the bar owner hard by his collar and lifted the thin man up. His feet were hanging in the air and he was struggling. "Keep your eyes open. This person is outside. If you offend the big shot here, your body will be found in the sewer tomorrow, I guarantee it!"
The bar owner glanced at Chen Xing. He was dressed luxuriously and had an extraordinary temperament. He knew he was a big shot at first glance and nodded in agreement.
A moment later, Chen Xing saw Mrs. Polly and her three daughters in a shack made of wooden boards and wire.
The space here is very small, the rooms are like pigeon cages, and you have to bend down to walk in the aisles.
The light was dim and the air smelled rancid. Dirty pieces of cloth were scattered on the floor. It was hard to tell whether they were clothes or sheets.
. They were leaning on a wooden bed that was only one meter wide. Their clothes were not covering their bodies, their bodies were covered with red marks, and their eyes were empty and unfocused, like damaged inflatable dolls.
When Lao K saw this scene, his eyes widened and his whole body was shaking. It was easy to see that he was trying his best to control his emotions, and his teeth were almost bleeding.
Chen Xing raised his hand and pressed Lao K's shoulder. The latter gradually calmed down. Then he looked at the plainclothes detective and said, "Let's talk about the price. I want to buy them."
Although slavery has been abolished in this world, according to the tradition of the Red Country, prisoners of war from enemy countries do not have human rights. In order to respect local sentiments, the Mingnet mastermind will also make judgments based on the rules tacitly approved by the Kingdom Council.
"Sir, you can't do this. They are the red-lettered signs in our store. Many of them come here because of their reputation. You know, noble ladies are not so easy to find..." The old bitch from the dirty cat nest held her lotus finger. , refused continuously.
"Stop being verbose and make a price!" Officer Luo interrupted the other party directly and said. All this is just to raise the price. It has been sold to the slums. How much value can be left? How many coins can those gutter rats make in one night?
The old bitch thought for a long time and stretched out five fingers hesitantly. The expression on his face seemed to have gone through a long struggle.
"Five hundred?" Officer Luo asked with a frown.
The old bitch shook her head desperately and shouted, "At least five thousand, they are noble ladies, ladies of great nobles, do you think they are wild cats on the street!"
"Fuck you, five thousand!" Officer Luo slapped the old bitch on the face, hitting her head against the wooden wall. The whole shack shook as if it was about to collapse.
"After all the hard work for you, there is only one breath left. How many days can it be sold? Even if the bottom is inlaid with gold, how much can you charge for this shabby place? Do you think I'm a fool, Tama!" With a ferocious look on his face, Officer Luo grabbed the old bitch by the collar and cursed loudly, spitting all over his head and face, "Only two hundred, sell it or not!"
Then his face turned cold and he said in a deep voice, "But I have something to say first. You have offended me today. If we encounter any trouble in the future, let's keep the same!"
The old bitch hurriedly put on a smile and waved a small handkerchief, "Hey, hey, look what you said, as soon as your uncle opens his mouth, two hundred is two hundred."
After paying the money, Lao K and Xiao Yang wrapped their bodies in sheets and took them out one by one.
At Chen Xing's signal, Jian Yue Canglian handed the purse containing 1,500 gold coins to Luo Ganyuan. The extra thousand gold coins were thanks to the other party's help in lowering the price. If it weren't for the locals here, Chen Xing would have been severely ripped off. To say the least, if the old bitch raises the price, she will also give the other party a benefit. Chen Xing doesn't want to take advantage of the other party, which is also the magnanimity of a boss.
Officer Luo found that the money bag was a lot heavier, so he opened it immediately, counted five hundred gold coins, and gave the rest to Chen Xing.
"What are you..." Chen Xing looked confused.
"It's as much as you agree." Operator Luo smiled and stretched out his hand, "My dear, Luo Hao, I'm honored to be able to serve you. I hope there will be opportunities for cooperation in the future."
Chen Xing also smiled and held the other person's hand. He likes smart people. This is for the long term. From another perspective, it also means that he is worthy of deep friendship in the eyes of others.
Luo Hao has been working at the bottom for many years, and he is well versed in the way of doing things. He welcomes people and sends them to others, and observes people's emotions. He has long been the best among people. Chen Xing's performance is definitely not comparable to that of ordinary young barons. Not only is the maid beautiful and capable, but the housekeeper is also serious and generous. With his more than 20 years of social experience, he is definitely a person who does big things. . This kind of person has an unlimited future, so if you can have a close friendship, you must not let him go.
After a brief exchange, the two parties left each other's contact information. Luo Hao stopped interrupting and stood up to leave.
"Multiple bruises, strains, fractures, bacterial infections, anal fissures, urethral tears..."
In the hotel suite, the hotel's dedicated doctor made a diagnosis and recommended immediate hospital treatment. Considering the special status of the Polly family, rescuing them may touch the nerves of some people. In order to avoid long nights and nightmares, Chen Xing decided to return to Orchid Town for further treatment.
On the airship, Ye Qian and Li Mei cleaned the bodies of mother and daughter, briefly disinfected their wounds, injected two treatment needles and a sedative, and gradually fell into a deep sleep.
The aerostat headed west and arrived at Orchid Town four days later. Two surgeons from the town were summoned to Chen Xing's mansion to perform surgeries on the mother and daughter.
"Sir, on behalf of the Polly family, I would like to express my highest respect to you!"
Outside the treatment room, Old K looks toward
Chen Xingshen bowed deeply.
"It's easy, don't worry too much..." Chen Xing pressed Lao K's shoulder and reminded, "Please pay attention to your position."
"Ah..." Old K was stunned for a moment, then he came to his senses and bowed deeply again, "I'm sorry, please forgive my confusion. The Poli family has long been destroyed, and now I represent the Chen family in Orchid Town."
"Very good!" Chen Xing nodded.
Two hours later, the operation was over. The doctor gave some instructions on taking medicine and nutritional supplements, and then left with the equipment.
The medical treatment in this world is very advanced. It only takes a short time to recover from external injuries, and internal injuries can also be repaired with rapid treatment needles.
About a week later, Asashi and her daughter basically recovered and were able to get out of bed and walk around. But healing of physical injuries does not mean healing of spiritual injuries. Mrs. Polly is okay, and her spirit has improved greatly as her body recovers. However, the youngest daughter, Mia Polly, is like a walking zombie, her eyes are still empty, and she often stares at the sky outside the window in a daze without saying anything.
Lao K took his mother and daughter to Chen Xing's study to express his gratitude to the savior.
"Sir, our mother and daughter will never forget your kindness!" Mrs. Polly led her three daughters to kneel down and salute.
Although Mrs. Polly's face looked a little haggard, there was still a bit of nobility in her eyebrows. Perhaps this was the innate temperament of a high-ranking noble. With her beautiful face and milky white skin, coupled with her decent dress, it is hard to think of the Liu Ying who lay dying in the slums a few days ago.
"Thank you, thank you, sir." Under Mrs. Polly's urging, the eldest sister Ashaxi wriggled her lips and struggled to say a few words, and then bowed to the ground. Her humble look was really embarrassing. What on earth could have happened to make this happen? The eldest lady of a high-ranking noble has become so humble and pitiful.
Chen Xing was about to get up and help him, but was stopped by Mrs. Polly.
"Sir, we are no longer nobles. The Polly family has been completely destroyed." Mrs. Polly put her hands on the ground. "From today on, we, mother and daughter, are your lowly slaves, at your disposal."
Chen Xing looked at Old K with some surprise. Although they are in trouble and their former glory is gone, they can rely on the help of Old K to live an ordinary life. Why should they despise themselves and become slaves of a small noble? And judging from this posture, they are the kind of people who devote themselves wholeheartedly.
The latter saw Chen Xing's eyes and stepped forward to explain, "Madam has discussed with me that since she and the young lady have no skills, it will be difficult for them to survive in this world. It is better to abandon their old identities and attach themselves wholeheartedly to adults."
"Well..." Chen Xing pondered for a while and said, "I don't need slaves..."
After hearing Chen Xing's words, Mrs. Polly's eyes dimmed, and the eyes of her eldest daughter Asashi were filled with despair. The second daughter Ellie and the youngest daughter Mia had dull expressions, and they didn’t know what they were thinking.
"But I need vassals." Chen Xing announced, "You will be my first vassal noble!"
Mrs. Polly suffered such a catastrophe, her family was destroyed, she fell into a devil's cave, and she was ridden by thousands of people. She was tortured into a human form, but she could still keep a clear head, assess the situation, and make the most favorable judgment. She must be a talent.
Now that the zombie park project is about to be launched, management talents are urgently needed. A lady from a high-ranking noble family must have read books. No matter what, she is better at management than a mud-legged person who has never read books. Furthermore, the four of them, mother and daughter, have died once, so I believe they will be much more mature.
In an instant, Mrs. Polly's eyes lit up, and her eldest daughter Ashahi had a mouth full of disbelief.
"However, you can no longer use the surname of the Polly family. I don't want to offend Duke Heiyu." Chen Xing said.
"Please give me a surname!" Mrs. Polly kowtowed.
Chen Xing thought for a while, then remembered a game called Resident Evil that he had played before, and casually said, "Claire, your last name will be Claire from now on."
"Thank you for the surname!" Mrs. Polly kowtowed again.
"Before you own the family mansion, you should live here first." Chen Xing said.
This time even the dull middle and younger daughters understood. The four mothers and daughters were overjoyed and kowtowed repeatedly to express their thanks.
