Seeing this, the man felt timid and unwilling to accept it, so he left. He pointed at Hongli and said, "You...you have made up your mind to become an enemy of Wanhualou, right?" Hongli didn't say anything.
, he said again: "Okay! Don't regret it! Tell me, where do you live?"
Just as Liu Hu was about to speak, Hongli already said: "We are staying at the Yuelai Inn not far away, and we will be waiting for you there at any time!"
"Okay! Just wait!" After saying this, he took those people and left ferociously. After they left, the woman knelt down to Hongli in tears, "Thank you so much for saving my life!"
"Get up." After she got up, Hongli called Liu Hu and said, "Go to Yuelai Inn and rent a few rooms so that you can rest."
Liu Hu said suspiciously: "Fourth Master, we obviously have a place to stay, why do we go to Yuelai Inn? There are people of all kinds from all walks of life there. I am really worried about the safety of Fourth Master and his wife." Think about it.
, he said: "Why don't you go down and book the entire Yuelai Inn? It will be much safer."
Hongli knew what he was worried about and said with a smile: "There is no need to go to such trouble. I believe you can protect me. Go quickly."
Seeing that Hongli had made up his mind, Liu Hu had no choice but to agree. At this time, the woman said in panic: "Don't go to the Yuelai Inn. The Wanhua Tower is very powerful in Hangzhou. You'd better leave quickly, in case the money
If Qi really comes for you, I'm afraid you will have a hard time getting away."
Xianyue said: "Listening to what you just said, Wanhua Building is just a brothel. How powerful can such a place be?"
The woman sighed and said: "It is a brothel, but in Hangzhou, anyone who has heard of this brothel will not mess with it to avoid getting into trouble."
Jin Ping frowned and said, "Isn't it possible that just a brothel in the area is so tyrannical and no one cares about them? If it doesn't work, go to the government and see if it dares to be arrogant."
The woman smiled bitterly and said: "It's useless. The reason why Wanhualou dares to run rampant in Hangzhou is because they have a close relationship with the government. Tell me who can win against them in this case. In addition,
, I also heard that there is a senior official from the capital behind Wanhua Tower."
Hongli frowned and said, "Do you know who it is?"
The woman shook her head and said: "I heard someone mention it accidentally, but I don't know the details." After that, she said uneasily: "You'd better listen to my advice and leave quickly to avoid suffering a loss."
"Thank you for reminding me, miss. We have our own sense of proportion in this matter." Xianyue said while winking at Jinping, who knowingly took out two ingots of silver and handed them to the woman. The woman waved her hands and said: "I have accepted it.
How can I dare to accept any more money from you after I have given you such a great favor? Please take it back, Madam."
"Take it, go find your family and live a good life. Be careful in the future and don't be deceived again. Someone may not save you next time." Xianyue's words made the woman look sad and whispered.
Said: "I...I am alone and have no family."
"But we were separated from them?" Faced with Xianyue's question, the woman cried and said: "My parents died of illness last year. I came to Hangzhou this time to seek refuge with my relatives. Unexpectedly, I didn't know that they had moved away until I got here."
Yes, I met a person and he said he could help me find it
When I met a relative, he really treated me very well during those days, saying that it didn't matter even if I couldn't find him, he would take care of me for the rest of my life. I was very touched at the time, so I said that I would marry him when I found a relative. That night,
He persuaded me to drink a lot of wine, I have no doubt that he
, I drank one cup after another until I was so drunk that I couldn’t wake up. When I woke up, I found myself in Wanhua Tower. Grandma Lin told me that he sold me there for one hundred taels.
Silver!" At this point, she broke down in tears and said sadly: "A
One hundred taels, just one hundred taels, he forgot the eternal vows with me, the affection between us, and sold me to a brothel to sell my skin and flesh. Later I found out that that man was a gambler, and he sold me for thousands of dollars.
Lou, I'm not the first, and I won't be the last."
"When Grandma Lin saw that I was pretty and could make money for her, she didn't rush to let me take on customers. Instead, she found someone to train me. Grandma Lin would use many terrible methods to torture disobedient people, so I pretended to obey.
, waiting for an opportunity to escape; yesterday she told me that she had found a rich man
, let me..." She lowered her head and grabbed her clothes and choked: "I didn't want to ruin Qingbai, so I escaped when they were not strictly guarded, but I was caught up not long after I escaped. Fortunately, I met
You guys, otherwise I will definitely be taken back by them and forced to pick up guests."
Xianyue also sympathized with her experience, sighed and said, "Then what are your plans in the future?"
"I don't know where else I can go, let alone where my home is." The woman said blankly, and then suddenly said: "I and my wife have saved my life, why don't I stay and serve my wife to repay you?"
You are a great benefactor." Without waiting for Xianyue to speak, she said eagerly: "Don't worry, I will definitely serve you well."
Her words made Xianyue startled, and then she smiled and said: "I have no shortage of people to serve me. If you take the money, if you meet a good man in the future and you have never been married before, you can marry him. This will be regarded as having a new man."
Home, you can live a peaceful life."
"Home..." the woman murmured and repeated, and said in a harsh voice: "I'm afraid that the next time I meet, it will be another person with a human face and a beast's heart. And then, as the lady said, no one may come to save me again.
, there is no other way but death.”
Her experience made Jinping feel very sympathetic and advised: "Don't be so pessimistic. Although you have met a ruthless person, not all men in the world are like this."
"I know." The woman wiped away the tears on her face and said, "Just like this man, there is no better person. But how many men in the world can be as good as this man."
Jinping didn't expect that she would compare Hongli with him, and he didn't know what to say for a moment. At this time, Hongli suddenly said: "If I let you testify in court that Wanhualou forced girls into prostitution and bought women from the countryside, you
Are you willing?"
"Court?" The woman was surprised and shook her head: "It's useless. The official will definitely go against Wanhualou and acquit them, but you will get into trouble. You'd better leave as soon as possible."
Honglixuan frowned and said, "You don't have to worry about this. I just ask if you are willing?"
The woman showed hesitation. She had a deep fear of Wanhua Tower. She had never even thought about testifying against them, but...
After a long time, the hesitation on her face gradually turned into determination. She gritted her teeth and said: "My life was saved by me. No matter what you want me to do, I am willing to do it. At most, I can only give this life back to me."
"Okay!" Hongli nodded and said, "Don't worry, you will be fine." After that, he said to Sixi, "Let her follow you to do some simple errands."
Si Xi responded and said to the woman: "Why don't you thank Fourth Master for taking me in?"
The woman came back to her senses and quickly kowtowed in thanks, and everyone also knew her name - Qiao Yan'er.
