"Drag him down and slap him twenty times!" Before Han Qing could get angry, Ding Wei had already slapped the case and stood up, pointing at Yan Siren's nose and giving the order.
Based on his experience, how could he not judge that most of what the Liu brothers and sisters stated should be facts? And this Yan Siren obviously belongs to the category of ghosts, and he would not be unjust even if he was beaten to death!
"Yes!" Immediately, a veteran who temporarily acted as a guard stepped forward and grabbed Yan Siren, dragged him out of the door, and greeted him with big-eared melon seeds. In the blink of an eye, he beat the man until his mouth and nose were bleeding, and he cried for mercy.
Although Han Qing did not agree with the casual torture of prisoners, he could not refute Ding Wei's face in public. After waiting for a while, he whispered again, "Bring Yan Wuyou up and let Ding Shu listen to what he has to say!"
"Yes!" Zhang Fan agreed to leave, and soon he brought Yan Wuyou, the eldest son of the Yan family's scholar, into the Juyi Hall, which was temporarily used as the lobby.
Compared to the stubborn Yan Siren, Yan Wuyou was obviously much smarter. He had long realized that he was getting further and further away from Qingzhou, and the location he was in now was obviously a mountain stronghold that had just been breached. He immediately understood that it was impossible for the Yan family to return to Qingzhou.
Protect yourself thoroughly.
Therefore, Han Qing just made a start here. He immediately poured out what he had confessed before and what he had not confessed before.
The case he was involved in was even simpler than before, even a little "aggrieved".
It turns out that most of the goods coming by sea on Jingdong East Road, such as pearls, corals, clams, ivory, northern furs and Korean medicinal materials, are monopolized by Yan and his in-laws Yang. Ordinary traders can only wholesale goods from these two companies.
, and then process and retail them by themselves.
Luo Huaisheng, the shopkeeper of overseas goods, was one of the merchants who wholesaled goods from the Congyan family.
Logically speaking, there is no conflict of interest between the two parties, and with Luo Huaisheng's status, it is difficult to provoke the important people of the Yan family. Even the book boy of such important people as Yan Wuyou has no chance to "climb up".
However, Luo Huaisheng should not, absolutely should not, marry a beautiful woman.
And Yan Xicheng, the eldest son of the Yan Mansion, actually liked married women due to someone's influence!
As a result, Yan Xicheng met Luo Huaisheng's wife when he went on an outing with his classmates last spring. Immediately, he fell in love with her.
However, the ancestors of the Yan Mansion had high hopes for the eldest son, Yan Xicheng, and did not allow any moral stain on him that would affect his future.
As a result, Yan Xicheng secretly gave Yan Wuyou an order, asking him to marry Mrs. Luo home on his behalf so that he could play with her at any time.
As a book boy who had grown up with Yan Xicheng since childhood, Yan Wuyou did not dare to disobey any of his master's orders. Therefore, he went through various trustees and gave Luo Huaisheng hints many times, asking him to reconcile with his wife.
Unexpectedly, Luo Huaisheng didn't know what was right and what was wrong, and refused to agree.
As a result, after dragging him back and forth, Yan Xicheng couldn't wait any longer. He secretly paid the thief and ambushed Luo Huaisheng on his way out to purchase goods.
Unexpectedly, the thief was negligent in his work. After slashing Luo Huaisheng into the river, he just went after Luo Huaisheng's subordinates to kill them, without even checking whether the real owner was really dead.
And Luo Huaisheng was also a tough man. He was stabbed and fell into the water and fell unconscious. He was directly rushed dozens of miles away by the river before he woke up again.
He knew that the robbers had come unexpectedly, so he didn't dare to report it to the official. He quietly recovered from his injuries at a kind-hearted farmer's house for more than a month before sneaking back to Qingzhou. As a result, he found out that his wife had remarried to Yan Wuyou, and the shop was also closed.
came under the latter's name.
He thought that it was Yan Wuyou who paid for his murder and took over his wife and shop. But he didn't know that Yan Wuyou was also a scapegoat for someone else. In fact, from beginning to end, he never had the chance to meet his wife.
Half a finger!
"I'm going to punish you, and this old man, please tell me clearly. Cao Min really did not instigate gangsters to murder shopkeeper Luo. Although Cao Min is trusted by Yan Xicheng, he is still a slave. How can he get the money to pay for the murder?"
Ding said he didn't believe what he said, so he kowtowed to the man, and Yan Wuyou added loudly.
"Well, I believe you for the time being!" Ding Wei had long been accustomed to the dirty things in wealthy families. He did not dare to make any criticism about his habit of liking married women. He stroked his beard and quickly turned the conversation to other issues.
"But, since you are Yan Xicheng's book boy, do you know where the young men and women captured by the Yan family are going to be sold?"
"Yan Wuyou, you heartless thief, you clearly accused the eldest son of the evil deeds you have done! Sooner or later you will be punished!" Before Yan Wuyou could respond, Yan Siren had just been slapped twenty times.
, suddenly broke free from the pull of the veterans, rushed to the door, and shouted loudly.
Yan Wuyou's face immediately twitched, and his expression became very ferocious.
Hatred of this man's talk of bad things, Zhang Fan and Liu Hong rushed up to him, picked him up and walked away. However, Yan Siren dragged his feet on the ground, struggled while continuing to shout, "Yan Wuyou, you
Pat your chest and think about it, your master has raised you since you were a child, provided you with food and clothing, given you a name and surname, and helped you find a wife. How could your master be sorry for you? You coveted beauty and committed a serious crime yourself.
Just admit it yourself. How can you ignore your conscience and make false accusations?"
"Yes, my master has provided me with food and clothing since I was a child, and even gave me the surname Yan!" Yan Wuyou actually covered his chest with his hands, but his words were full of hatred, "But master, when did that happen?"
I have really shown myself to others. The wife my master married for me slept in the eldest son's bed. If my master committed a crime, I would be asked to come out and support him. If I have a child, I will be his slave after birth.
The master feeds him, gives him clothes, and then gives him the surname Yan, so that he is willing to die for the master. When he dies, it is my grandson's turn again. One generation after another, endless like an animal.
…”
Raising his hand to wipe away his tears, he screamed loudly, "Why, Yan Er, why do you think it's the same? It's the same two arms and two legs, why can't I live like a human being? Why?"
No one expected that Yan Wuyou, who seemed timid and cowardly, would actually ask such a sharp question. Everyone present, including Ding Wei who was sitting in the hall, were stunned. For a moment, they did not say anything.
The second manager, Yan Siren, was also dumbfounded by the question. After a long while, before he was dragged out of the cottage, he threatened loudly, "Yan Siren, you heartless bitch. Don't forget, you still have family..."
"The wife that the master helped me marry is on the eldest son's bed." Yan Wuyou raised his hand to wipe away his tears again, gritted his teeth and responded, "I have never been married to her. As for myself, I have actually been married for a long time.
He was already dead when the eldest son pushed me on the bed and insulted me. If I could drag my master’s family with me to hell, I would rather not be reincarnated forever!”
Immediately, he quickly turned his gaze to Ding Wei and added loudly, "The common people know what the two adults asked about. The Yan Mansion collects literate young men and women every year. Whether they are bought or robbed, they are all handed over to him.
The in-laws of the Yang family were sent by ship to Liao and Goryeo. The nobles of those two countries liked the fair skin of women from the Central Plains. Every year, the Yang family sent many ships to Liao and Goryeo to transport goods, and gave their women as gifts to the nobles there.
, to clear the door, and to try and succeed. As for the literate teenagers, they were sent to Liao and Goryeo to either serve as prostitutes or to be trained as assassins in the Xingren Division."
