Fu Song would never lie to her, which only proved that there was something wrong with the prefect.
Originally, she just wanted to come tonight to check how many women were trafficked in this brothel, but she didn't expect to discover such a shocking secret. The prefect was really embarrassed!
"Are everyone else in this brothel too?"
The woman shook her head: "Not everyone is here. Others seem to have been sent to other brothels. There are only five with me."
This Hongxiu House is the largest brothel in Qingzhou. It usually needs many people, but there are also many requirements. Among this group of people, there are only five who can meet the requirements in appearance, so they are all selected.
"I can't control that much anymore. I can only take you away tonight. I will go to meet with the prefect in person tomorrow and think of a solution."
The most she can do now is to use Ji Mingxuan's token to do things, but today Emperor Gao is far away and he doesn't know whether the prefect will buy it or not. As the saying goes, a strong dragon cannot suppress a local snake. The prefect has been here for many years and has protected each other with the local forces.
Time is really not that easy to solve.
"Thank you girl, thank you so much!"
Since Zhao Huanyu rescued her that day, although she has been on the same boat, she has never had the chance to see Zhao Huanyu. Only today when she got off the boat, she had a quick meeting and was sent to the government.
When they were sent to the brothel again, everyone was in despair. Just now, she even wanted to die.
But who would have thought that the person in front of her would be her savior, and he would also take her away.
"Take him away" is more beautiful than any other words.
She was crying so hard that she was out of breath. Zhao Huanyu said, "Stop crying and get ready. I will take you out of here in a while. Don't show any flaws."
The woman nodded and said, "Everything is up to the girl's arrangement."
Then they began to prepare for leaving. After all, she came here disguised as a man, so naturally she had to do things that men should do.
Zhao Huanyu thought for a while and said to the woman: "Go to the bed, lie down and take off half of your clothes, then start crying and make some misleading noises. The louder the better."
The woman blushed instantly, but she also understood that she had no other choice but to do it.
He nodded and lay down timidly.
Then he started making humming noises.
"The louder the sound, the better it can be heard outside."
The woman's voice became louder: "Uuuuuuu, sir, please let me go! Uuuuuu..."
"I'm not from here, please let me go..."
It was a bit reserved at first, but gradually it got better and became more and more lively.
Zhao Huanyu also yelled from time to time: "It's your blessing that this young master likes you. If you don't want to be toasted or eat, you will be fined with wine. It will piss off this young master and I want you to look good!"
Then Zhao Huanyu slapped the table, and the woman screamed in pain, which was very vivid.
Anyone passing by outside can imagine what intense things are going on inside.
After half an hour, the sounds inside gradually weakened, and then the faint sound of a woman sobbing could be heard.
Fat Ya went to open the door and saw no one outside. Zhao Huanyu shouted to Fat Ya: "Go and call the madam. I have something to ask her for!"
The fat girl responded, trotted away, and after a while brought the madam over.
As soon as he entered the door, he saw the disheveled woman sitting on the bed wiping her tears, and the young master in front of her looked satisfied. The madam's smile became even wider and asked: "Is the master satisfied?"
"My master likes this one very much and is planning to redeem her, so why didn't I call you here?"
"Do you want to redeem yourself?" The old bustard looked a little embarrassed and continued, "This girl has just arrived at our Hongxiu Tower and has not been properly trained. If she is brought back by the young master and something happens, we will not care at all."
"You don't need to say this? I have been around Huayue for many years, so I naturally understand these principles. Stop talking nonsense and make an offer!"
Labor Bao originally thought that he would have to spend some time to explain, but he didn’t expect that the young master was so rich and cheerful. He immediately smiled and said: “Since the young master is so cheerful, then I won’t bargain with you randomly. After all, he is an untrained man.”
So I will charge less silver, one hundred taels, and the young master can take it away after paying the money!"
This kind of thing, which can earn dozens of taels of silver once bought and resold, is actually very cheap. Because it has not been trained, they are not at ease. They are always worried that something will happen, or even run away, and then the guests will come to the building to cause trouble.
Therefore, they will ask for a lower price and tell the ugly things in advance, so that even if something goes wrong, you can't come to them.
However, Zhao Huanyu still felt that it was a bit expensive. An ordinary maid would only cost a few taels of silver, but it was so expensive to go around a place like this.
The woman who was kidnapped by them for no reason was sold for a hundred taels without spending a penny, and she had given some back before. This was too profitable.
No wonder the prefect couldn't resist the temptation to cooperate with them, as the profits would be huge.
But now in order to avoid arguing with them, Zhao Huanyu happily gave one hundred taels of silver, and then said impatiently to the woman on the bed: "Hurry up, pack up and go with me, you are my son now.
If you dare to disobey, I will beat you to death!"
After saying that, he walked out first, looking rather ruthless.
The madam shook his head when he saw her like this, thinking that she was not a good family, and this woman would not have a good life if she followed him.
Thinking of this, the old bustard looked at the woman with a little sympathy, and couldn't help but said: "If you are sensible, you should serve this young master well, otherwise you will die without knowing it!"
The woman wiped her tears, ignored the madam and followed Zhao Huanyu away.
The three of them walked out for a long time before Zhao Huanyu asked Fat Ya in a low voice: "Those people didn't follow, did they?"
"No, no one noticed it."
The fat girl walked at the back, always paying attention to what was going on behind her.
After making sure it was safe, the woman knelt down in front of Zhao Huanyu instantly.
"The girl saved me three times and spent so much money on me. My life belongs to the girl. I will work as a cow and a horse for the girl in the future. Please keep me here."
She originally wanted to go back and marry her lover, but now she owed such a huge debt, and she couldn't get that much money even if her family members were forced to death, so she had no choice but to sell herself as a slave and serve her master all her life.
"If you have anything to say, let's talk about it later."
Zhao Huanyu was actually worried about being discovered, so when he saw her kneeling down, he frowned, turned around and continued walking.
When the girl saw this, she hurriedly got up and followed her. She felt a little uneasy, fearing that her behavior just now had displeased her master.
She was just too excited and didn't consider many factors. Next time, next time she will definitely keep it in mind and won't be so impatient again.
When she finally arrived at the inn, she asked everyone to enter her guest room and discuss the matter together.
After Fu Song and others came in, Zhao Huanyu said directly: "You should all know the specific situation. We were deceived by the prefect. On the surface, he promised to send all these women back to his hometown, but in fact, he hooked up with a brothel.
It's no use to serve as a parent official, I want to take care of this matter."
She had encountered so many refugees on the road, and it was already hard for her to feel that she was powerless. Now that she saw this kind of abducted women, she must not stand idly by.
Although some of those people took the lead in making trouble some time ago, which she hated very much, but no matter what, they were still a few lives, and there were still more good people than bad people among them. She could not just watch these girls being killed.
.
In such a dynasty, it is already very difficult for women, but they still have to face such treatment. What will they do in the future?
Fu Song personally sent the person there, and it was Fu Song who came back to tell Zhao Huanyu that the matter had been resolved. Now that the victimized woman was standing in front of him, he was a little upset for a moment.
His main task was to protect Zhao Huanyu, so when he sent several women to the government office, he didn't pay too much attention to the details. He even saw that the prefect had a good attitude, so he didn't report Ji Mingxuan's identity. Anyway, the master's token would be less.
Use less.
I just didn't expect that the prefect would do one thing to his face and another behind his back. It was really hateful.
"Don't worry, girl, my subordinates will definitely handle this matter well."
This matter can be regarded as his dereliction of duty, and he still feels guilty. He must do this well.
Zhao Huanyu shook his head and said: "This matter cannot be left entirely to you, I have to show up. By the way, when you sent them there, did you take out the token?"
"No."
Fu Song Yaoyao's head, Zhao Huanyu said: "This is the best, then I will still negotiate with him tomorrow as the Duan family lady, I want to see how good the prefect's drama can be!"
After discussing these things, everyone left. They came here to find good seeds this time, but they cannot ignore this kind of thing, especially when they encounter corrupt officials who collude with brothels, they must be cleansed.
.
After everyone left, the woman knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Zhao Huanyu, and then began to introduce herself: "My name is Hongyue. I am from Quanzhou. I was arrested when I went out to the night market with my friends at night. The girl rescued my slave three times, and for
The slave has spent so much money, and the slave is willing to work as a cow or a horse for the girl, to repay the girl for saving her life, and to ask the girl to fulfill her wish."
Zhao Huanyu looked at her sincere look and felt that she was really destined to be with her. It didn't matter if they met her once or twice, but they could meet her for a third time. The fate was indeed not shallow.
However, she was not in short supply of maids, so she said, "Since you have a family to return to, you can go home. We will take you with us when we return to the city. You can just get off the boat when we arrive in Quanzhou."
Hearing this, the woman was shocked.
"But I can't repay that much money, so I can only pay for it with my life. It's better for you to keep me. I can do anything. I just ask you to give me a chance."
After all, it turned out that it was because of the money issue. Zhao Huanyu smiled. He didn't want her to pay back the money in the first place, but it was good that she had this consciousness.
"I'm happy to spend this money, and I went out tonight just to look for clues. I met you. Even if I find the clues, it's not a loss to spend some money."
Hongyue looked at Zhao Huanyu blankly, didn't she care about such a huge sum of money?
That money is enough to feed and drink their whole family for a lifetime!
Seeing that she was alone in a daze, Fat Ya came over and held her hand and said, "We girls are good to begin with. You don't have to think about it anymore. If you feel bad, just do more good deeds when you go back. Just treat it like it's true."
It’s a great achievement for my girl.”
These words enlightened Hongyue, and she began to kowtow to Zhao Huanyu again, and the kind words came out as if they were free of charge: "Thank you, girl, she is like a Bodhisattva in this world!"
Zhao Huanyu: ...We just say that if you don’t know how to praise, don’t praise her. How can you compare her with a Bodhisattva?
However, he didn't show it on the surface. He just nodded with a smile and said, "I also have a soft couch in my room. You can squeeze in on it tonight."
During this period of time, she was sleeping in the open air, let alone sleeping on a soft couch. She was willing to sleep directly on the ground, so she nodded hurriedly and ran over to clean up the soft couch.
Early the next morning, Zhao Huanyu sent a letter of greeting to the prefect.
The reason mentioned above is that the third lady of the Duan family came to Qingzhou to look for grain seeds, but since she is new here and has little experience, she would like to ask the prefect for help and introduce some shops or ordinary people's homes with good grain quality. Thank you for your invitation.
Finally, he also explained his sincerity, and as long as the matter was completed, he would pay three thousand taels for his hard work.
Three thousand taels is not a small amount. Even if the prefect cooperates with the brothel, it will take more than half a year to distribute that much money. But as long as he helps Zhao Huanyu do things, he can get so much money after the work is completed.
When he saw this greeting card, the prefect seemed to see the white money waving to him.
He immediately asked someone to reply to Zhao Huanyu, saying that he was available at any time and that Zhao Huanyu could come to the door at any time.
Zhao Huanyu knew that the prefect was greedy for money, so he simply packed up and went to the government office.
Yes, the address was specifically chosen in the government office, which showed that she came with serious intentions.
The prefect was only thinking about making money and was not in the mood to care so much. Naturally, Zhao Huanyu could go wherever he wanted.
Zhao Huanyu was usually not late for meeting people, but today he was a quarter of an hour late, deliberately asking the prefect to wait for her.
When she arrived, it was obvious that the prefect was already a little unhappy.
"I'm really sorry, Lord Prefect. This little girl is new here and is not very familiar with the surrounding area. She actually took the wrong path. I hope the Lord Prefect will forgive me!"
Zhao Huanyu walked inside as he spoke. The prefect was a little angry at first, but when he looked up and saw Zhao Huanyu's beautiful little face, all his anger dissipated instantly.
He originally thought that the women from Jiangnan were beautiful enough, but he didn't expect that there would be such good-looking ones from this place.
Not as graceful as Jiangnan women, they are very straightforward.
The prefect thought it was just the style he liked!
Besides, the third lady's family is so rich, she might be a good helper for him to get to the next level.
In just such a moment, the prefect's calculations began to click in his mind.
What Zhao Huanyu didn't know was that the man in front of him, who was older than his father, actually started to have ideas about her.
