The swordsman pointed at the scholar, with a hint of grievance in his words.

"It was them who first slandered us as human traffickers!"

Jiang Zhuo looked in the direction the swordsman pointed, but his eyes were attracted by Shen Qing next to him.

He walked towards Shen Qing's direction. The scholar thought he was going for him and stepped back in fear: "It's not me, sir! We just said a few words casually!"

Unexpectedly, Jiang Zhuo walked straight towards Chen Qing.

"Drinking tea?"

"Yeah." Shen Qing nodded.

"Sir, it's not that woman, it's the three men next to her!" The swordsman kindly reminded, but the person next to him pulled his sleeve and signaled him not to speak.

What's wrong? It's really not that woman!

"Master Jiang is busy first."

"Okay." Jiang Zhuo nodded and waved his folding fan casually: "Take them all away."

The officers and soldiers immediately stepped forward and took the scholar and several swordsmen away.

Shen Qing sat down again, holding the teacup and smiling thoughtfully.

Prison Maniac...

It’s just that the scholars just mentioned that the old owner of Yilan Academy was killed by some gangsters half a year ago, which means that the current owner is not the one who founded Yilan Academy in the first place.

Time could not be wasted, so Shen Qing left the teahouse and went to Yilan Academy.

When Li Yang saw Shen Qing coming alone, his eyes lit up instantly.

"Madam, why did you come alone today? Didn't the young master come with you?"

Shen Qing shook his head, his smile forced.

Seeing this, Li Yang didn't ask any more questions. He invited Shen Qing in and closed the door.

"Mr. Li, may I ask if the master has returned?"

"Not yet, madam, don't worry, it will only take two days." Li Yang poured a cup of tea for Shen Qing.

"Thank you, Master Li, but my husband was very drunk today. When he was drunk, he beat the child while I was doing farm work." Shen Qing lowered her head to wipe away her tears, her voice choked with sobs, "I wanted to send the child here earlier to save him from suffering."

"Madam, you have a heart of love for your son. I understand." Looking at Shen Qing's pitiful appearance, Li Yang felt a pang of sadness in his heart. "He is so deceitful, Madam, have you never thought of divorce?"

"When my mother died, my family had no money for a burial. Thanks to my husband buying me, my mother was able to rest in peace. Even if life is difficult, we must live one day at a time."

"It's fine for me, but it's hard on my child."

Li Yang felt very distressed when he heard this, and hated why he didn't meet her at the beginning.

Shen Qing's eyes flickered slightly, she wiped her tears with a handkerchief and moved closer to Li Yang.

"Li Yang."

Li Yang turned his head to look at her, and was unexpectedly drowned in her eyes as deep as a pool of water.

Shen Qing didn't sleep all night last night, so today he could only hypnotize Li Yang to disrupt his emotions and hypnotize him when he was off guard.

"Where is Zhuang Lan?"

"Dead..." Li Yang replied with his lips moving.

"Where is the boss now?"

"County Lieutenant's Mansion."

County Magistrate's Office? Why is the government involved?

Li Yang frowned slightly, his eyes trembling slightly, as if trying to wake up. Shen Qing pinched his arm and looked at Li Yang again.

"What is Yilan Academy hiding?"

"School...ah..." Li Yang struggled to wake up, cold sweat oozing from his forehead, but looking into Shen Qing's eyes he couldn't struggle out, "County Lieutenant, child, longevity..."

Shen Qing took a deep breath.

"Where is the child?"

Shen Qing read the information from Li Yang's eyes:

Basement…Oil barrels…Medicinal wine…Mechanism…

"Ah!" Li Yang yelled.

Shen Qing suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood and was slapped on the shoulder by Li Yang and fell to the ground.

"Bitch! What have you done!"

"You captured those children and used them to make longevity wine. You are worse than pigs and dogs!" Shen Qing supported himself on the ground with his hands, but he didn't have the strength to stand up.

"You actually knew about this?" Li Yang found a bundle of ropes and stared fiercely at Shen Qing on the ground. "I wanted to kill your husband, buy you over, and let you live a good life. Now it seems that all this is fake."

"What do you want to do?" Shen Qing looked at Li Yang in fear.

"Don't worry, I can't bear to see you die. If I peel off your delicate skin and soak it in medicinal wine, I'm sure I can sell it for a good price in the future."

Li Yang tied up Shen Qing and took her out of the city through the back door of Yilan Academy.

…

"The old master of Yilan Academy was killed by three such swordsmen, so it is reasonable for us to speculate that they were also responsible for the human traffickers' case."

"That's ridiculous, sir! If one swordsman is guilty, does that mean all swordsmen in the world are guilty?"

"Anyway, don't you people in the martial arts world like to kill people when you disagree with them?"

"Pa." Jiang Zhuo casually threw the fan on the table. The sound was neither loud nor soft, just enough to stop the quarrel between the two groups.

"This is a dungeon, not a market."

The swordsman and the scholar both shut their mouths.

Who dares to mess with this damn thing?

"You said that the old owner of Yilan Academy has passed away. Then when did Zhuang Lan become the owner?" Jiang Zhuo looked at the scholar.

"Sir, Zhuang Lan is the old boss!"

Jiang Zhuo frowned. He remembered Wu Qiaoling had told him that Zhuang Lan was a well-known philanthropist in the surrounding area! Could he not be referring to the current owner of Yilan Academy?

"I don't know the name of the current owner of Yilan Academy, but they do all the good things under the name of Zhuang Lan."

"So everyone basically knows that Zhuang Lan is a kind person, but they are very much discussing the current owner of the school."

Wu Qiaoling must have known about this matter, but he did not report it truthfully. There must be something fishy about it.
