Shen Rui was shocked, maid? Land of romance? Skinny horse? If his sister cannot be found, what will be the fate waiting for her?
No, no!
He must find his sister and send her home. "Where is that Boss Huang?"
Shen Rui asked in a cold voice.
Scar Li said in a trembling voice: "The biggest house in the south of the city belongs to him. He is the boss of the local area. Even the government obeys his orders. If you go there, you are seeking death."
Shen Rui looked at him and said: "You are the one who deserves to die. She is so young. How can you bear it?"
He paused for a moment, then suddenly thought of himself, what right did he have to blame others? It was obviously him who left his sister in the mountains, causing her to fall into the wrong hands, and he was the one who deserved the most punishment.
Shen Rui's mood collapsed for a moment, and he raised the dagger in his hand to kill Scar Li.
Xiao Youan stopped him and said: "Shen Rui, you can't kill him. He has committed a crime and there are laws to determine it, not you."
Shen Rui said: "But there is no law in Yangzhou City."
Xiao Youan naturally knew that there was no law for the collusion between Yangzhou city officials and bandits. He said: "Yangzhou doesn't have it, but the capital city has it."
His eyes darkened: "Boss Huang is so powerful that we can't save your sister. We must find a way to send a message to the capital."
Shen Rui said: "But can my sister wait?"
Xiao Youan asked Scar Li: "How long will Boss Huang keep the child he bought?"
Scar Li shook his head: "I don't know about this, but as long as there is a buyer, he will sell it soon, especially the sign your sister gave birth to.
Boss Huang gave me a lot of money and said that with the child's appearance, he could be raised as a skinny horse.
If you treat this horse like a skinny horse, you won’t treat him badly, and he might be able to get ahead in the future.”
It is common to raise thin horses in Yangzhou. Some wealthy families will buy girls with signs and raise them as daughters, teaching them how to play music, chess, calligraphy and painting, and how to serve men.
When they grow up, they will be sent to the government officials to serve as a bridge to shine.
There are even poor families who sell their daughters to make horses.
After all, there is no shortage of food and clothing.
Shen Rui was very angry when he heard this. He said: "My sister is a young lady from the General's Mansion. How can she be reduced to someone else's plaything when she was born noble?"
Scar Li was horrified when he heard this. Is that little girl a lady from the General's Mansion?
He widened his eyes, looked at the young man in front of him and said, "This, this is impossible."
If he had known the identity of that girl earlier, he would not have dared to sell her out even if he had ten courages.
Shen Rui said: "It would be great if my sister can be found safely, but if she is not found, I will make you die a miserable death."
As he spoke, he stabbed Scar Li's leg with a sharp knife.
Scar Li screamed in pain and fainted.
Xiao Youan knew that Shen Rui was unhappy, so he said: "Let's find a way to send a letter to the capital first, and then find out the truth about Boss Huang."
Shen Rui nodded and asked, "What should he do?"
Xiao Youan said: "Throw it in front of the government office and ask him to see the prefect."
As he spoke, he tore off Scar Li's clothes, wrote a letter with his blood, stuffed it into Scar Li's mouth, and tied his hands with his belt.
The two of them took advantage of the darkness and threw Scar Li in front of the government office and left immediately.
The next day.
Xiao Qiyan and Qin Junyan rushed to Lin'an City. After entering the city, Xiao Qiyan asked: "Where should we start investigating?"
