The woman said "poof" at him, gritted her silver teeth and said, "You don't have to say it anymore. In short, I will never go back again. Don't stop having your wishful thinking!"
With this spit, all the man's patience was wiped out. He wiped the saliva from his face and said in a cold voice: "What a little bitch. If you don't drink the toast, you have to drink the fine wine. Okay, I will make it happen for you!"
With that said, he called to the back: "Go and escort this little bitch back to Wanhua Building. Then we'll see how Granny Lin handles her!"
The woman seemed to be extremely afraid of that Aunt Lin. After hearing this, her already pale face turned without a trace of blood. She tried her best to squeeze towards Liu Hu and said in a trembling voice: "Don't come here, otherwise... otherwise I will
I will die in front of you!"
The man smiled sinisterly and said: "Don't worry, I won't let you die! Take it away!"
Facing those burly men, the woman's resistance was so weak. If she hadn't been holding on to Liu Hu's clothes, she would have been dragged away long ago.
Liu Hu and others knew that they had encountered the situation of forcing a good girl into prostitution. Although they were unhappy, they were responsible for protecting Hongli's safety. They could not do anything without orders, so they could only turn a blind eye.
The woman regarded Liu Hu and others as her only hope, and begged sadly: "Please save me! They want to force me to accept guests and force me to sell myself, please!"
The woman was crying, which was very sad. She was surrounded by people. Some people who couldn't bear to see it said loudly: "Don't go too far. This is the land of the king. How can you force a good girl into prostitution? I want to
Are you going to go to the government?"
The man glared at the speaker and said coldly: "From the moment she signed the contract of sale, she belonged to Wanhua House. Not to mention selling herself, even if she had to die, she had to
Do it!”
The words "Wanhualou" made the person before him show a hint of uneasiness, and he quietly retracted his steps. As for the other people, they all looked like they dared to be angry but dare not speak. From this look, Wanhualou was
Hangzhou is quite powerful, otherwise it would not be like this.
The woman cried: "I didn't sign, you took advantage of my unconsciousness and grabbed my hand and pressed it!"
"Needless to say, after all, with the contract of betrayal, you are not allowed to leave Wanhua Building!" The man snorted coldly and pulled her hands off Liu Hu's arms. The despair in her eyes was unbearable.
When the woman was about to be taken away, a young guard couldn't help but said: "Since she didn't sell herself to you willingly, then your sale contract is fake, and she doesn't belong to your Wanhua Tower!"
The man glanced sideways at him and sneered: "Does it mean what she says? If so, then all the girls can be said to be forced to sign a deed of prostitution. How can we do business in Wanhua Building like this?!"
When the young guard wanted to say more, Liu Hu stopped him and whispered: "This matter has nothing to do with us, so don't interfere!"
The young guard gritted his teeth and said angrily: "But these people are going too far by forcing good girls into prostitution. They are simply lawless!"
"How do you know that they must be forcing girls into prostitution? What if it is a trick staged by rebels? Once they find an opportunity to get close, the emperor and the queen will be in danger."
Seeing what Liu Hu said, the guard could only swallow hard and watch the woman being pulled away in silence.
Seeing that no one dared to pay attention to her matter, the woman looked up to the sky in despair and cried, "Oh my God, is this the so-called clear and bright government, the so-called emperor's benevolence and saintliness? Why do I see only filth, only evil people oppressing good people?"
?Although heaven and earth are big, there is no place for me!"
The man sneered and said: "Take her away, be careful not to hurt her face, grandma is still waiting for her to receive guests and earn money!"
The men responded, and when they dragged the woman away and were about to leave, they suddenly heard a shout, "Stop!"
The person who spoke was none other than Hongli. He had always looked at this matter with cold eyes. Like Liu Hu, he also suspected that it was a drama staged by the rebels. But then he saw the pessimistic and desperate look on the woman's face and her face crying loudly.
It really doesn't look like he's faking it, calling him out with words.
The man turned around and looked at Hongli with a gloomy expression. He was doing the errand of welcoming people and sending them off at Wanhua Tower. He saw many different kinds of people and practiced his skills of observing words, expressions and people's clothes.
, he just saw that Hongli was dressed in extraordinary clothes and had many servants, so he kept avoiding him and just wanted to take him away, but in the end... he still couldn't avoid him.
After thinking for a long time, he forced out a smile and said politely: "I wonder what's wrong with this noble man?"
Hongli glanced at the woman whose hands were being held, and said, "You said she signed a contract to sell herself to your Wanhua House, then why did she sign it?"
The man rolled his eyes and said, "She has nowhere to go and no money on her, so she can only sell herself to us. This is a normal thing."
The woman cried: "I didn't! Someone knocked me out and sold me to you Wanhualou. Although I was not born into a wealthy family, I am also a kind family. How could I sell myself into Wanhualou and do that lowly thing?"
thing!"
The man became a little annoyed and snorted coldly: "You don't have to say so much. In short, there is a deed of sale as proof, you can't deny it." After saying that, he cupped his hands towards Hongli and said: "I neglected to watch her before, so she escaped.
, It’s not like disturbing the noble lady, I will take her back right now to avoid disturbing the noble lady again.”
Hongli said coldly: "If she really voluntarily sold herself to your Wanhua Tower, I can't say anything, but it seems that she is unwilling at the moment. You want to force a good girl into prostitution, which is inconsistent with the laws of the Qing Dynasty."
The man's expression was ugly and he said: "This matter has nothing to do with you, so why should you force your way in? It will be difficult for everyone if there is a quarrel. In my opinion, it is better to let it go. I think Wanhualou owes you a favor."
"Wanhua Tower..." Hongli murmured and repeated, then turned to Xianyue who was standing beside him and said, "From his tone, Wanhua Tower seems to be very impressive. Madam, have you ever heard of it?"
Xianyue patted Yong Cang in her arms and said with a chuckle: "I have never heard of it. Besides, no matter how great Wanhua Tower is, it is not as big as the laws of the Qing Dynasty. Everything should be done in accordance with the laws."
Hongli nodded and said, "Madam, you are right." After that, he said to Liu Hu, "Go and bring that girl over."
The man's face suddenly changed, he took a few steps back, and said coldly: "I treat you politely, but you don't know what to do with me. This man is from my Wanhua Building. He must be taken away. If you continue to mess around, don't blame me for being rude."
.”
Hongli ignored him and just winked at Liu Hu. The latter understood and brought two guards to meet those people. How could a group of people from the market be the enemy of the guards with strong martial arts skills? They were knocked down with three punches and two kicks.
On the ground, as soon as the woman got free, she immediately hid behind Liu Hu.
