Chapter 82 Thank you for saving me

"Our Chunyue Pavilion is the property of Princess Anyang!" the madam shouted hurriedly and brought out a backer.

Xie Lingxi remained unmoved and expressionless.

The thugs from the brothel rushed forward to stop them, but they were no match for the black-clad guards.

In just a few moves, they were all knocked to the ground.

…

Chunyue Pavilion, backyard, a room.

Song Heng was awakened by a bowl of water.

In front of him stood a middle-aged woman who was in charge, and beside her was a group of thugs armed with wooden sticks.

"He's very handsome. You've got a good piece of merchandise." The manager looked Song Heng up and down with a satisfied look on his face.

Song Heng had just woken up and figured out his situation.

last night.

The uncle came to him for money and threatened him that if he didn't pay, he would sell him to pay off the debt...

He originally thought that his uncle was just talking nonsense, but he didn't expect that he actually sold himself!

"Manager, I was knocked unconscious. I didn't do it voluntarily. If you let me go, I will pay you back double the money you spent!" Song Heng said anxiously.

"Haha, how many people come here voluntarily? Once you enter this door, you can't get out." The manager sneered, glanced at him, and threatened him viciously: "We in Chunfeng Pavilion will beat to death two disobedient people every month. If you don't want to die, just be obedient and receive customers!"

"Go, carry that idiot next door over here."

The two thugs retreated after receiving the order, but a moment later, they came in carrying a bloody female corpse covered in wounds.

"This——" Song Heng was shocked.

The steward was very satisfied with his expression.

Killing a chicken to scare the monkey is the best way.

Every time we receive goods, there are always one or two who would rather starve to death than accept any customers.

Therefore, the steward would pick out those who resisted the most fiercely and brutally kill them in front of all the newcomers using extremely cruel means.

Anyone who witnesses this scene will be frightened and behave themselves.

It saved them a lot of trouble.

"Did you see it? This is what will happen if you don't obey!" The manager pointed at the female corpse.

Song Heng was both angry and shocked, "You are taking human life lightly! You are forcing people to buy and sell, you are breaking the law!"

The manager was a little surprised that he was not frightened. His expression became even uglier: "It seems that you are not willing to accept my toast! Come on, beat him up!"

These are the ways that brothel managers deal with disobedient newcomers.

First threaten them, then beat them, and if that doesn’t work, then kill them.

The thugs rushed forward with wooden sticks in hand.

At this moment, the door was kicked open and a group of black-clad guards rushed in.

"What are you doing? Who are you?" The manager turned around in surprise.

As soon as the words fell.

Chi Moyan, who had infiltrated the Black Guards, was kicked over.

Chi Moyan roughly guessed that Song Heng should be locked up somewhere in the backyard, and went straight to all the rooms in the backyard with sealed doors and windows...

Smash every one you see.

“Song Heng!” Chi Moyan saw Song Heng being pushed to the ground and pulled him up: “Let’s go!”

Song Heng was surprised and delighted, "Why are you here?"

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess have come specially to save you. Go! Let's talk after we get out!" Chi Moyan said.

Song Heng hurriedly said, "There are other people who have been arrested here... Many of them are not here voluntarily. Can you save them?"

"Don't worry. All the guards at the back door have been knocked down by the black-clad guards. All the rooms have been smashed. Those who don't want to stay in the brothel can run now." Chi Moyan said.

Song Heng's mood eased a little, his eyes fell on the female corpse on the ground, he bent down and picked her up.

“What are you doing…?” Chi Moyan looked at him.

Song Heng's eyes were full of sympathy. "She's already in a very miserable state. I want to collect her body."

Chi Moyan's gaze fell on the hands on the female corpse. His eyes flashed slightly and he thought of something.

The black-clad guards protected Chi Moyan and Song Heng, escorting them all the way out of the brothel's backyard.

The remaining black-clad guards continued to smash the brothel.

At this time, there was chaos in Chunyue Pavilion.

Taking advantage of the chaos, many people quietly escaped from the brothel.

…

In the alley at the corner of the backyard of Chunyue Pavilion.

A gorgeous carriage was parked quietly under the big banyan tree at the entrance of the alley.

Xie Ruojiao lifted the car curtain and stared at Chunyue Pavilion not far away with wide eyes of curiosity.

This attic is hung with colorful lanterns, waving in the wind, very eye-catching.

Xie Lingxi wanted to send someone to send Xie Ruojiao back to the Beiwang Mansion, but she had never been to a brothel before, so she insisted on coming to watch the fun.

"What is Second Miss looking at?" Feicui asked as she lifted the curtain for her.

Xie Ruojiao asked curiously, "I have never seen a male prostitute before. It is said that they are all very handsome... Song Heng was actually sold to be a male prostitute. What does he look like?"

Talking.

Xie Ruojiao saw from afar the young man in blue being protected by a group of black-clad guards.

He is like the clear moon and gentle breeze, or like a delicate orchid or a jade tree, with a pure and elegant temperament and eyes as bright as stars.

He was indeed an elegant gentleman, which was exactly the impression Xie Ruojiao had of talented scholars when she read storybooks.

But what shocked Xie Ruojiao even more was that he was holding a woman covered in blood in his arms. The woman died miserably, and her blood stained his blue shirt red.

He walked closer step by step holding the female corpse.

Her temperament is as gentle as jade, yet it is like a sharp sword drawn from its sheath.

Sharp and sharp.

"Thank you, Princess Consort, for saving me." Song Heng put the female corpse aside and stepped forward to pay his respects.

Jiang Rong's eyes fell on the female corpse and asked, "What is this?"

"This is a poor person who was beaten to death by them. Her body will be put on display after death. I want to collect her body and let her rest in peace." Song Heng felt heavy-hearted.

Chi Moyan stepped forward and said, "I have a suspicion that this woman was most likely trafficked. Her fingers are slender and tender, and she doesn't look like she has ever worked. It doesn't look like she was sold by her family."

If she has never done any housework at home, it means her family is not poor and her parents love her very much, so it is unlikely that they would sell her to a brothel.

The laws of Daxia allowed the voluntary buying and selling of slaves, but strictly prohibited trafficking.

Song Heng was very angry: "Many people here are forced, and there may be a lot of trafficking. The manager of the brothel said that two people are killed every month."

"This is too cruel!" Xie Ruojiao was filled with righteous indignation and said angrily: "Sister-in-law, we must hold Chunyue Pavilion accountable!"

Chi Moyan looked a little embarrassed: "Even if this case is investigated, it has nothing to do with Chunyue Pavilion... They received the people from others, and the kidnapping cannot be blamed on them... They can get away with it by saying that they didn't know it was kidnapping."

"As for the slaves we bought, we can beat or kill them, and it does not violate the law."

Chunyue Pavilion dared to do such a thing openly, so it must have avoided the risks.

"This is too abominable!" Xie Ruojiao became even angrier.

It's really infuriating that we know they have done so many bad things, but we can't do anything about it.

Jiang Rong's face was icy cold. "Fei Cui, go to Ming Xin Division to report the case. Find Captain Chu Jue and tell him that my husband accidentally found a female corpse when he smashed the brothel. We suspect Chun Yue Pavilion of murder and hiding the body, so we should conduct a thorough investigation."

Xie Ruojiao was stunned, "Sister-in-law, are we... reporting a false case again?"
