Chapter 315 The Secret of the Zhentian Gang Dungeon
"Stop talking nonsense. I want to see the county magistrate." He ignored him and pushed him away and walked towards the yamen. The constable guarding the gate did not dare to stop him and could only watch this man named Yu walk in.

He seemed to be very familiar with the place and did not take any detours. He found the county magistrate's yard in a few minutes. During the journey, he met other constables, but after seeing this man, no one stepped forward to stop him.

And when he saw him coming, he greeted him enthusiastically, but his mood today was not very good. In the past, when he met the constables from the county government and they greeted him, he would smile and nod in response, but today he ignored them.

It was not until he met Shen Li that he forced a smile and responded with a few words.

At this time, the county magistrate was practicing boxing in the yard. The county magistrate did not practice martial arts, and his boxing skills were just for physical exercise and had no lethality at all.

"My Lord, something bad has happened."

The county magistrate stopped his punch and scolded, "Why are you so flustered?"

Seeing his anxious look, the county magistrate then asked, "What's the matter?"
"Sir, Boss Yu is here," the county magistrate had just said when he saw Yu Lei walking towards him. The county magistrate's face changed slightly, and then he waved his hand to signal his subordinates to leave.

After all, he was the county magistrate of Yuxi City. He did not go to greet the landowner, but came to the stone table, picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip.

Soon Yu Lei came to him, followed by Shen Li. Shen Li had just seen him rushing to the county government office and knew his purpose, so he followed him.

"Master Yu, I wonder why you come to me today."

Yu Lei usually looked down on the man in front of him, but he was the county magistrate after all, so he bowed and said, "Sir, my third brother was brutally murdered by thieves last night. Please send someone to investigate as soon as possible and give my third brother an explanation."

According to his information, the murderer of Yu Shaowu has been arrested by the county magistrate, so although they are investigating, they are actually here to get the person back.

The county magistrate did not say anything. Shen Li opened his mouth and said, "Don't worry, brother Yu. We have caught the murderer and will execute him in two days."

Yu Lei bowed to the county magistrate and said, "In this case, how about you hand the person over to me, sir?"
The county magistrate spoke again and said, "How can this be possible?" The next moment, Yu Lei took out a heavy purse and placed it on the stone table.

The county magistrate then smiled, "Haha, you're too polite, brother." Then he said to Shen Li, "Captain Shen, please take the trouble to take Brother Yu away."

In the prison, Zhou Chen was eating roast chicken at the moment. Suddenly, several footsteps were heard, and then Shen Li and a few others came over.

When Yu Lei saw Zhou Chen eating roasted chicken, he couldn't help but feel a little angry, "Lord Shen, I didn't expect the treatment in the prison in Yuxi City to be so good. The prisoners even have meat to eat. The treatment is better than that of my brothers in the Zhentian Gang."

"Haha, Brother Yu, you're joking. This man is considered a wealthy man in Yuxi City and has some silver. I guess he just spent some of the silver," he said as he opened the door of the cell.

Shen Li did not come in. Yu Lei gave a wink to his brothers, and those guys understood and went in immediately. After entering, they directly snatched the roast chicken from Zhou Chen's hand, and then the two of them carried Zhou Chen and walked out.

"What are you doing? Where are you taking me?"
"Stop talking nonsense, you'll know when you get there."

After leaving the gate of the county government office, Zhou Chen was taken into a carriage. There was no one else in the carriage except Zhou Chen. Although the Zhentian Gang was powerful, there were some things they dared not do openly.

So they prepared a carriage to stuff Zhou Chen in, and soon Zhou Chen was taken to a house. After entering the house, Zhou Chen was searched and all the valuables on his body were taken off, even the coat on his body was taken off. These low-level thugs naturally didn't know what a storage ring was, but it was a ring after all, so they just took it off.

Zhou Chen was not worried about this. With Yue inside, the ring would not be lost.

Soon Zhou Chen was taken to a dungeon again. This was naturally not the county jail, but the dungeon inside the Zhentian Gang.

As soon as he entered, a foul odor wafted into Zhou Chen's nose. He couldn't help but want to cover his nose, but his body was tied up and he couldn't stretch out his hands at all.

"Hurry up, kid," a man behind him pushed Zhou Chen. The prison was built underground. He had not seen it when he was walking on the stairs just now. Now that he had come down, Zhou Chen saw that the area of ​​this prison was a little smaller than the official one.

However, there were only a few people imprisoned in the government prison, but this place was full of people, and they all looked young and strong.

Seeing this, Zhou Chen frowned, "Why did the Zhentian Gang capture so many young and middle-aged people?"
Out of curiosity, Zhou Chen was taken to the innermost cell. The cells here were already full of middle-aged men. Even in the innermost cell, there were more than a dozen people.

This was the cell with the least number of people. When they saw Zhou Chen being pushed in, those guys showed pitiful expressions on their faces.

After the two gang members who escorted Zhou Chen left, Zhou Chen asked, "Brother, why are there so many prisoners here?"
But no one in the huge cell answered his question. They all shook their heads in confusion and said, "We were all deceived by the Zhentian Gang. Some time ago, the Zhentian Gang came here under the guise of recruiting workers, saying that we would be paid 20 cents a day for food and accommodation, and they deceived us here."

After hearing this, Zhou Chen roughly guessed the purpose of the Zhentian Gang. If nothing unexpected happened, the Zhentian Gang should be engaged in human trafficking.

Later, the words of an old man in the corner confirmed Zhou Chen's guess. Seeing that there was only one older person among so many people, Zhou Chen thought that he should know something about the truth, so he immediately walked over with a smile.

"Oh, what do you mean, old sir? So many people have suddenly disappeared from the city. Don't the people in the government notice it?"
"Hmph, the officials in the county government are not blind, so they naturally know it. But knowing is one thing, and whether they will do anything about it is another matter."

"You mean, there is also the meaning of government here?"
The old man nodded and said, "Quite smart."

After getting the confirmation, Zhou Chen clenched his fists, “As a county magistrate, it would be fine if he didn’t want to benefit the people, but he actually colluded with gangs in secret and engaged in the human trafficking business.”

When the people around heard the old man's words, they were shocked and said, "What? My mother is waiting for me to earn money to go home for medical treatment. What should I do?"

"I am the only one supporting my family. What will happen to my wife and daughter if something happens to me?" Such words immediately spread like wildfire among the crowd.

When they first came in, they were still fantasizing that one day the people from the yamen would be able to rescue them, but the old man's words completely shattered their fantasy.

Suddenly, the cell was filled with wailing sounds. Similar wailing sounds had been heard since the first day they came in. The gang members in charge of guarding outside ignored them and let them howl.

But today was an exception. The two leaders of the gang walked directly towards the dungeon here.
