Although Xiao Yao is tall in stature, he is still young and looks too young to be able to control others.
The big man was pinched by one wrist and glared at Xiao Yao: "What does it have to do with you if I arrest my daughter? Let me go quickly!"
But the little beauty next to her grabbed Xiao Yao's sleeve and cried so hard: "Master, please save me, he wants to sell me to a brothel!"
The big man was so angry that he yelled at the beauty: "I gave birth to you and raised you, so why don't I have to spend money? Now that you have grown up, it's time to repay me."
"The deed of betrayal has been signed. It's useless to beg anyone. Come back with me and you'll save yourself a little hardship."
The woman held on to Xiao Yao's sleeve.
Xiao Yao lost his patience, squeezed the big man's hand hard, and said coldly: "Let go!"
There was only a click, and the big man's wrist was pinched off by Xiao Yao.
The man screamed and rolled on the ground, howling like a slaughtered pig.
Xiao Yao wiped his hands with a handkerchief, threw the handkerchief into the man's face, and sneered: "Noisy."
He looked at the woman and changed his cold expression to a smiling face: "Little beauty, are you okay?"
The woman was a little afraid of Xiao Yao and said cautiously: "No, it's okay..."
Xiao Yao: "As long as it's okay."
"How about, let's find a place to chat?" Xiao Yao said, "If you find out what's going on, I can help you."
He looked left and right, and when he raised his eyes, he bumped into Qin Zhen's.
Xiao Yao was stunned for a moment, then with a smile in his eyes, he pulled the little beauty into the restaurant and went straight to Qin Zhen's table.
Then the two of them unceremoniously occupied the other two sides of Qin Zhen's table.
Xiao Yao looked at Qin Zhen: "I haven't seen you for a long time. I didn't expect to meet Jun here...to meet Miss Qin."
Qin Zhen: "I didn't expect that I would meet His Royal Highness here."
Xiao Yao laughed: "What fate!"
"Since we are so destined, Miss Qin, wouldn't you mind treating me to dinner?"
"You've already sat down. Wouldn't it be disrespectful to you if I chase you away again?"
"As long as you know."
Xiao Yao smiled and pulled the little beauty next to him and said, "Here, let me introduce to you. This girl's surname is Qin. She is beautiful and has a kind heart."
The little beauty looked up at Qin Zhen and shouted softly: "Hello, Miss Qin."
Qin Zhen: "...Hello."
Xiao Yao held up his chin and looked at the little beauty, asking: "That man just now is really your father? What's going on?"
The little beauty's eyes were red and she slowly talked about her experience.
This girl's name is Hongxue, she is seventeen this year. Her mother died young, and she has two half-brothers at home, so her life is very difficult. The person who was pulling her away just now was her stepfather who wanted to sell her away.
Exchange money in a brothel.
Hongxue wiped her tears as she said: "I am supporting my two younger brothers at home, but he is still not satisfied. I don't know who gave him the idea, but he actually wanted to sell me to a place like a brothel!
"
Xiao Yao was silent for a moment and asked: "I just heard your stepfather say that you have signed the deed of betrayal?"
Hongxue nodded.
Xiao Yao: "Which brothel?"
Hongxue pursed her lips and whispered: "Wan Yanlou."
Xiao Yao: "..."
Xiao Yao was silent again for a while, and finally asked tentatively: "Then...how much did your stepfather get?"
Hongxue: "...five hundred taels."
"Five hundred taels? It's okay, okay, I still have five hundred taels..."
"Five hundred taels of gold." Hongxue glanced at Xiao Jue cautiously and completed the following sentence.
Xiao Yao: "..."
Xiao Yao fell silent.
Seeing this, Qin Zhen raised her eyebrows: "Why, Your Majesty the Fourth Highness, can't even get five hundred taels of gold?"
"You think gold is just a drill bit? You can get it if you have it?" Xiao Yao said angrily: "I haven't left the palace to build a mansion, and all my pocket money comes from the private treasury of my father and mother. Where can I get it all of a sudden?
That much money?”
"Besides, do you have it?"
Qin Zhen waved her hands repeatedly and said, "Don't you know what my background is? I am an ordinary person who only has enough food and clothing."
Hongxue on one side had tears in her eyes, her gaze turned around from Qin Zhen, and finally fell on Xiao Yao: "Young Master, you..."
"No, no, no, no!" Xiao Yao raised his hand to interrupt Hongxue and said, "If it were another brothel, maybe I could deal with it for you, but I can't handle this Wanyan Building."
Qin Zhen was a little curious: "Is there anything else that the Fourth Highness can't figure out?"
Xiao Yao glanced at her and finally waved to her. When she came closer, he lowered his voice and said, "Do you know who the boss behind Wanyan Tower is?"
Qin Zhen looked curious: "Who is it?"
"Commander of the Forbidden Army, Ji Yun." Xiao Yao asked again: "Do you know who is standing behind Ji Yun? Minister of the Ministry of War, Liu Changsong."
Qin Zhen: "..."
She thought of the news she heard today.
The emperor wants to replace all the Forbidden Army with people from the Dragon Guard Army. Ji Yun, the commander of the Forbidden Army, must have hated her father, right? Plus Liu Changsong, the Minister of War, standing behind him, these two people are probably related to the Qin family.
hatred.
Qin Zhen didn't expect that she would encounter something related to these two families so quickly.
Xiao Yao shook his head repeatedly and muttered in a low voice: "I don't dare to offend these two people."
Hongxue on the side seemed to hear something and became a little anxious. She stood up and knelt down in front of Xiao Yao: "Please, Master, please save me."
Qin Zhen glanced at Hongxue and said to Xiao Yao: "Your Highness, the Fourth Highness, is the most compassionate and caring person, so he will definitely not ignore it, right?"
Xiao Yao stared at Qin Zhen, a little surprised: "Are you cheating on me?"
"How can I?" Qin Zhen said honestly and courteously: "I think Miss Hongxue is really pitiful."
Xiao Yao glared at Qin Zhen fiercely and was very angry.
But after Hongxue cried and begged like this, Xiao Yao couldn't bear it. Finally, he gritted his teeth and said, "Come with me, and I will find a way for you."
After that, he got up and left with Hongxue.
Qin Zhen shouted: "Your Highness, you are not going to eat?"
"You can eat it yourself!" Xiao Yao's voice came: "I'm so angry."
Qin Zhen sneered, picked up her chopsticks and continued eating.
Before I even took two bites of my meal, I felt someone sitting across from me.
Qin Zhen was silent for a moment and put down her chopsticks helplessly.
She raised her head and looked at the person opposite, and said leisurely: "What kind of day is it today? People that you don't normally see are coming one after another uninvited?"
The person sitting opposite her was Lou Yan.
The two of them had not seen each other since the last flower viewing party.
Qin Zhen had heard about some of Lou Yan's deeds.
It is said that the third prince has a cold face and a heart as hard as iron. He is a cold-faced king of hell. During this time, he helped the prince to do things cleanly and decisively. They also said that the third prince was silent and taciturn. He did not bark but bit people in pain.
Mad dog.
When everyone talked about him, their words were filled with contempt, but they could not help but feel fear.
At this time, this cold-faced King of Hell was sitting opposite her.
