Chapter 209: Missing the Indenture

There was a sound of footsteps outside the door.

The maid in Yanyu Tower pushed the door open and brought in a middle-aged woman with heavy makeup.

This person should be the madam of this building.

Before Lu Wanyin and the madam could say anything, the maid opened her eyes wide and pointed at Song Jiuning: "Mother, it was her who took the guest's snacks and said she would help deliver them. It really wasn't my daughter who stole them."

Lu Wanyin looked at Song Jiuning silently, then looked at the drinks and snacks on the table.

You're taking other people's things.

"cough."

Song Jiuning coughed awkwardly and gave her a look in return.

Aren't I busy looking for you? It's urgent.

Lu Wanyin looked at the madam calmly: "You didn't come here for these snacks this time, did you? We are all busy, why don't we seize the time and talk about business?"

Of course the madam didn't take this seriously.

He didn't take the maid's words seriously at all.

If this woman really came with the land deed, she would be the real owner of Yanyu Tower.

The things here originally belonged to her.

"This girl is said to have brought the deed to the Misty Rain Tower. Could you please show it to me?"

She used to be a man, but today she suddenly became a woman.

No matter what she wants to say, first confirm that she really has the title deed before discussing anything else.

Having so many brothels under the name of a high-ranking official in the imperial court is a shameful matter.

The Fanzhou prefect kept the matter secret very well. Besides him and his advisor, the head of the Lin family also knew about it.

Normally, the Fanzhou prefect would not show up in person when there were important matters.

The land deeds were all taken there secretly by the legal advisor.

Whoever holds the land deed is the one in charge.

That is why these things are placed in special boxes with great care and hidden extremely tightly.

Even if it is exposed, searched out, and forcibly opened, the box will be destroyed and the things inside will be destroyed.

If the master hadn't heard Xie Jingci say this behind the door today, he would have felt something was wrong and wanted to move the things inside. He would have run into Lu Wanyin as soon as he opened the box.

I'm afraid this thing will just gather dust in the space, and Lu Wanyin won't be able to get it.

Lu Wanyin looked at the madam calmly, took the deed and placed it on the table: "If you want to see it, then go ahead."

When the madam saw that she really took it out, she believed it 70% and her attitude became more polite.

She walked over quickly and said, "Thank you."

Only then did he take the title deed and read it carefully.

All the information and details on it were exactly the same as what she had seen before.

After confirming the fact, the madam respectfully handed over the deed and asked, "Master, what are your orders?"

Lu Wanyin took the deed and glanced at Song Jiuning: "Call in all the girls in the building. Remember, all of them, even the ones who cook and sweep the floor."

"this……"

The madam hesitated for a moment and said, "Boss, there are still patrons in this building. If you call them all over..."

Seeing Song Jiuning's expression change, Lu Wanyin also turned cold: "Do you want me to emphasize again that it's all, all!"

The madam was startled and quickly replied, "Master, please forgive me. Please wait a moment."

It wasn't until they were the only three left in the room that Song Jiuning slammed the table in anger: "If I find out who did this, I'll make sure he dies a miserable death."

Lu Wanyin paused as she went to pick up the teacup: "He died in a very ugly way."

Song Jiuning choked on her rising anger.

"However, there are still a few culprits alive. I can hand one of them over to you, but I'm not sure how to deal with the rest."

Lu Wanyin thought about it and told her two: "Qi Xuanhou Mansion and Fanzhou Lin Family."

Song Jiuning was a little surprised, but still nodded gratefully at her: "Thank you."

Soon, the guests in the building left cursing.

The madam kept apologizing and escorted her all the way to the door before she finally breathed a sigh of relief.

In all her years of doing business, this was the first time she had to kick someone out.

Lu Wanyin stood at the fence on the second floor, watching the women in the building gather in the lobby.

Song Jiuning stood beside Lu Wanyin, watching her without blinking.

When everyone arrived, Lu Wanyin looked at her first: "How is it?"

Song Jiuning shook her head in disappointment: "No."

Lu Wanyin sighed secretly and comforted softly: "It's okay, after we finish here, we will go to the next one, it won't take long."

Song Jiuning was obviously in a bad mood. She just nodded and said nothing.

There are more than seventy people in this building, from the top girls to the maids, which is quite a lot.

Everyone looked at Lu Wanyin curiously.

Some people don't understand why two unfamiliar women appeared in the brothel and caused such a big commotion.

"Everyone."

Lu Wanyin held onto the railing, her clear voice echoing throughout the hall: "From today on, you are all free. You can stay as you please, and those who want to leave will receive fifty taels of silver, which is enough for you to settle down and find a suitable livelihood."

"If you don't want to leave, we won't force you. Yanyu Tower is still here, and it can be considered a place to stay."

Fifty taels of silver is enough for them to buy an ordinary courtyard for living alone after they get out.

There will still be at least two months of living expenses left.

Two or three months is enough time for everyone to find a job to make a living.

As long as you are not lazy and have a simple life with enough food and clothing, there will be no problem.

The girls below looked at each other in confusion.

No one spoke, everyone looked at the madam.

After all, the person who holds their indentures is the madam.

Lu Wanyin also looked at her, her voice was calm, but inexplicably filled with pressure.

"Bring over their indentures."

The madam looked embarrassed: "This... the boss really wants to let them go?"

They released the people and gave them money.

You're really going to lose everything.

In the past, the boss valued money the most and didn't care about the life and death of these women.

Lu Wanyin's face turned cold, and there was a sense of oppression between the lines: "Why, are you the boss, or am I the boss? Could it be that you have hidden all these people's indentures?"

"No, no, no."

The madam was shocked and immediately asked someone to bring the indenture.

When the servant who went to get the things came back, the madam was about to take them when a streak of light flew past the fence.

An exquisite flying claw grabbed the box in the servant's hand and snatched the indenture contract away.

Lu Wanyin secretly sighed that Song Jiuning's move was really good. She took the box and counted the indentures inside.

Not a single one.

Lu Wanyin took out a fire starter and burned the box of indentures clean in front of everyone.

The madam's eyes widened, her legs went limp, and she sat down on the ground.

It's over, all over.

Lu Wanyin threw away the burnt leaves in her hand and looked at the people below: "Have you made up your mind? If you want to leave, raise your hands."

When the women below saw that she had really burned the indenture contract, most of them looked happy and raised their hands.

"I want to leave."

"I want to leave, too."

"Thank you so much, young lady..."
