Zhao Qingyan nodded, indicating that she agreed with her brother's statement.

"Alright, at least none of you have been caught. Come over here and let me search you."

Be careful, don't let this guy find an opportunity to turn the tables.

Zhao Qingyan assigned this task to her younger brother for two reasons. Firstly, in this day and age, people might hide things in some unspeakable place.

In addition, we need to train the younger brother's self-protection awareness.

Upon hearing "body search," Zhao Qingbei became incredibly excited. "I'll do it, I'll do it, no one can take it from me!"

I excitedly ran to the vicinity of the scumbag and braked suddenly, my two little arms swaying back and forth several times before I could steady myself.

After glancing at the scumbag who had regained some consciousness, the little guy turned and ran back to his room, where he unlatched the door.

Looking at the door bolt, Zhao Qingyan lit a candle for the scumbag.

"Hey little brother, don't kill him. Father will interrogate him later."

Zhao Qingbei weighed the door bolt in her hand. "Don't worry, I know what I'm doing."

The scumbag, who was still not quite sure what had happened to him, was knocked unconscious by Zhao Qingbei's steady and ruthless blow.

Not content with knocking him unconscious, they also kicked the scumbag in the waist. Seeing that he didn't react at all, they then began searching him.

While searching him, they didn't forget to untie the belt that was tied on the outside of his waist.

Believe it or not, this guy actually had quite a few things hidden in his belt.

Inside were all sorts of small oil paper packets, some containing things like sweat-inducing medicine or muscle-relaxing powder; in short, nothing of value.

It's somewhat useful, at least for detoxification.

Put those small paper packets and bottles/jars aside.

Zhao Qingbei didn't forget to use her belt to tie the scumbag's hands behind his back before turning him over so that he was facing up.

By the dim moonlight outside and the candlelight inside, the scumbag's unremarkable face came into view.

However, there's something odd about that face no matter how you look at it.

Because the scumbag's belt had been removed beforehand, his undergarments were instantly exposed when he was turned over.

While searching, Zhao Qingbei exclaimed, "We've struck gold! This guy has a lot of good stuff on him!"

In the end, Zhao Qingbei found more than a thousand taels of silver notes and a lot of hairpins and jewelry on the scumbag.

That wasn't all; they also found a map of Davar and the surrounding cities in the scumbag's boots.

But the taste is a bit too strong.

Zhao Qingbei presented it to her sister like a treasure, and Zhao Qingyan stepped back two meters.

"Keep that thing away from me," Zhao Qingyan said with disgust.

Zhao Qingyi nodded and continued the search.

He searched everything from the collar of her clothes to the soles of her shoes.

Just as Zhao Qingbei felt she had finished searching, the little guy reached out and touched the scumbag's head.

They pulled the hairpin off his head.

After studying it for a long time, they finally confirmed that the hairpin was solid. In order to prevent the scumbag from hiding anything in his hair, the little guy went inside and got a pair of scissors.

With a few snips, the scumbag's hair looked like it had been chewed by a dog.

That wasn't all; as if he were addicted to exploring, he looked up at Zhao Qingyan with a grin.

"Sis, could you step aside for a moment? Just turn around, I want to check more carefully."

Zhao Qingyan immediately turned around, but it turned out that this little kid, Zhao Qingyan, really didn't play by the rules!

With a few quick snips, they cut all the scumbag's clothes off.

After all that commotion, they actually found a key in the scumbag's crotch.

This can be considered an unexpected surprise.

However, it seems that the older sister can no longer turn back.

Zhao Qingyi finally sighed.

"Sis, you'd better not turn around. Just go back to your room and rest. Please don't look back."

Zhao Qingyan was both amused and exasperated; she knew without even guessing what had happened next.

Zhao Minggeng and the others exerted all their strength and finally made it back.

Upon seeing her biological father, Zhao Qingyan immediately shifted the blame.

Catching thieves is hard work, okay?

It must have been tough. Who told this guy to be so inconsiderate as to disturb Miss Zhao's rest?

As Zhao Qingyan entered the room, Zhao Minggeng was about to carry her out of the torture chamber by her belt when he noticed something was wrong.

And what about this garment? Is it just a few pieces of cloth draped over it?

"You lecherous scoundrel, just wait and see how I deal with you," Zhao Minggeng thought to himself.

Zhao Qingni gave the map she found on the man to Zhao Minggeng.

As for the money and jewelry on this person, Zhao Qingni decided to share them with her sisters and brothers.

Zhao Qingbei now understands the importance of making money.

He knew the family had already separated, so if he didn't seize the opportunity to make more money, what would he use to travel to the capital later?

If you pass the imperial examination and are kept in the capital, you'll have to buy a house, otherwise you won't even be able to get married in the future.

He has a lot of ideas at such a young age.

Wife: I can pay you extra, my dad is rich.

Seeing the unconscious scum on the ground, Zhao Minggeng called for people to carry the person out on a stretcher, covering his vital parts with a few pieces of cloth.

There was nothing that could be done about it; Zhao Qingbei had searched him too thoroughly.

Naturally, his clothes were also cut into strips.

Therefore, this scumbag is now completely naked.

The two constables who came to carry the person muttered to themselves as they did so.

"This young master is too ruthless. Shouldn't he at least leave him some underwear?"

Zhao Minggeng followed behind, his old face flushed, realizing that his daughter and son were indeed quite ruthless.

The scumbag was carried to the torture chamber, where Zhao Minggeng and the constables discovered that he was paralyzed.

I have lost all feeling from my lumbar spine down.

Rather than being tied to a frame, it's more accurate to say it's hanging on a frame.

His legs simply had no strength left to support him.

After a night of interrogation, the scoundrel confessed to his crimes.

He admitted that he was responsible for several recent cases in the city.

As for why he used such a perverted method, Ren Shan chuckled coldly.

"Who told them to dress so flamboyantly?"

Zhao Minggeng then realized that this thing really was a pervert, abnormal.

Ren Shan came from a poor family and was abused by his stepmother until he was 12 years old, after which he escaped from his home.

By chance, he met a traveling quack who sold fake medicine.

He followed the fake medicine seller for more than ten years and learned all of the bad habits of the fake medicine seller.

Because of some quarrels, Ren Shan accidentally killed a fake medicine seller. After burying the man, he took over the job of selling fake medicine.

But the job is getting harder and harder, and most ordinary people have to endure illness.

Those who have a little money go to the pharmacy to buy medicine, so who would buy his fake medicine?

So, the young man started working as a peddler, going from house to house.

It's unlikely that a peddler will earn much respect.

If any woman treats him even slightly badly, or dresses similarly to his stepmother, it can stir up the demons within him.
