But the girls seemed to be frightened by his harsh words. Their eyes flickered a few times and their bodies swayed. Some girls could no longer stand and were trembling moment by moment. They had to hold on to others or squat down.
Curled up.
"It's just a few questions and a few gossips that you said before. Why is it like this? It's not impossible for you to have a place to live. You can live in this cell for the rest of your life." Zhou Ze smiled lightly,
It's like saying a casual word.
When Ji Xuan saw Zhou Ze like this, the girls could only pretend to be afraid.
There was no panic in his eyes or even on his face, and he squinted his eyes slightly and said: "Most of the guards, cell leaders, and even the criminals in this cell have never seen the light of day, let alone this girl who I feel pity for.
If you send them in, we can't guarantee how they come out. I don't know, but your innocence is still there. Oh, yes, I forgot. How can you be innocent if you are defiled at will?"
As soon as the words came out, the girls squatting on the ground couldn't hold on any longer and immediately fell down. Their eyes kept flickering as they looked at Ji Xuan and then at the floor.
"I think mothers treat you with pity, right? But not here, and even less so in the prison cell." Fang Wu saw this and said, "There is no most pitiable person in this world, only more pitiable ones. However, pitiful people must be hateful.
It’s not worth the trouble.”
Although the people of Daman are open and open, a woman's innocence is still important to women.
"I think innocence is not as important as appearance. Although this hairpin is not sharp, girls' faces can be broken by a blow. If you want to touch it, it doesn't take much trouble..."
Ji Xuan smiled.
There was never anyone in the yamen who couldn't learn anything, who was ruthless, and who would do anything just to stay and cook.
Fang Wu just said a few words. He didn't think anything was wrong. He followed and continued to threaten. He didn't want her to do such things again. He wanted to protect her and not lose that pure, happy and tenacious girl.
That's good.
As he spoke, he raised his hand and pulled out the hairpin, playing with it in his hand. He spoke slowly and deliberately, and stood up slowly.
Fang Wu looked over and saw that Ji Xuan was wearing a blue-purple robe today, with chrysanthemums shining brightly on it. However, the sleeves were slightly long and actually covered some of his arms, making his rotating wrists even more curious.
He raised his eyes and looked up. His eyes were three-part casual, three-part mocking, and three-part lazy, as if he was thinking about where to start to make blood spurt out?
If there is something that is more important to a woman than her biological father, it is appearance, especially the women in brothels. They serve others with sex. Without good looks, who would take another look at them?
Sure enough, before she even registered to study, many girls already turned pale as soon as she said those words. They looked at Ji Xuan with pleading eyes and said, "No, no."
The four short words seemed to rush out of the throat and squeeze the hairpin in Ji Xuan's hand.
Ji Xuanran got out of the table and stepped forward.
Fang Wu also stood up, and his slowly loosened hair seemed to add a bit of laziness to his appearance.
She looked as if she had lost her mind at some point.
"If you want me to tell you, you'd better tell me. These guys are all hard-hearted. They have never hesitated for a moment about useless people." Zhang Xuan said, and stood up. He took the food from the table.
He picked up a dagger, the dagger he pulled out from the old bustard's corpse.
His movements were not as slow as Ji Xuan's, but very fast. He held a dagger in his hand and rushed towards the girls like the God of Death. One step, two steps, three steps. Each step seemed to fall on the girls' hearts.
"Although I can't guarantee anything for you, as long as you go and tell the truth, I will ensure that you leave this yamen safely." Ye Zhuqing also said at the right time.
"Everyone talks about making gold, and the yamen will never break its promise." Fang Wu said, and immediately picked up his pen and followed.
She was really afraid that Zhang Xuan wouldn't be able to bear it anymore and would take action.
In this yamen, no matter how they speak, the yamen servants, including their colleagues, will not say anything. After all, there are no common people who will not spread the word.
But if they take action and let outsiders see it, and what kind of label they are given, it will be bad for the officials, the government, and themselves.
It hasn't reached that point yet. So she is a little worried.
But this time her worries were a little unnecessary. Zhang Xuan seemed a little out of tune, but he acted in a measured way.
He couldn't move forward and squatted down in front of a girl. He inserted the dagger into the floor with some force, but he still held the dagger in one hand.
He stroked slowly and wrote a sin on it.
"I have heard that the word "Sa" looks good when written on the face, but I have never been lucky enough to see it. If a girl wants to speak, it is best to tell the truth, otherwise I will not be able to restrain my curiosity." He said, with a pair of eyes.
When he raised his eyes, it seemed that he also raised the girl's chin, making her forget even to tremble.
"I, I said. The building is big enough and we are relatively cold, so most of us have not said anything. Every girl in our brothel has a girl. They are all in the same system. The officials can count them and look at those girls.
Are you here? I once saw a book in my mother's room with the passenger flow written on it. Maybe I can know something."
The girl swallowed a few mouthfuls of saliva, as if trying to calm herself down. She curled up and stared at Zhang Xuan's hand, her lips trembling.
"I don't know too much, but what I can guarantee is that Yanhonglou has never offended the local officials, nor has it colluded with anyone. The sisters are not very courageous. Most of them usually indulge in lust when dealing with officials.
Is there anyone who is truly noble?”
"Girl, tell me what you saw that day."
Zhang Xuan dragged the dagger back a few centimeters, sat down on the ground, whistled, and said with a smile.
Fang Wu sat down and took notes.
I don't know when, Ji Xuan also sat back and was talking to Ye Zhuqing. Fang Wu looked at him frequently, but he never stopped holding his hand.
"Probably when the sun was just setting, a few men in black suddenly rushed in and closed the door. I don't know if it was a coincidence or intentional. There were no guests in the building that day, not a single one. They just..."
What the girl said next was no different from what the mother said to the girl in front of her.
But, they still heard these new things.
"Who do you usually meet when picking up guests on weekdays?" Ji Xuan asked.
"They are the officials in the state government and the children from the rich family." the girl said.
Ji Xuan thought for a while and said: "As far as you know, are there any gatherings in the near future? These officials who will offend are all going to be together, including children from rich families."
He couldn't figure out why there were no guests that day? Not a single one. This was very artificial.
