Chapter 440 Redemption
The people on the opposite side immediately became alert when they saw Lian Xiang.
"What are you doing here?"
"Are you trying to kidnap someone?"
The guards surrounded Lian Xiang and refused to let her in.
"Miss Lian Xiang, it's not good to kidnap someone to this extent, right?"
"Shouldn't I be asking you this? I saw an old woman taking my sister in. Why did you send someone to kidnap my sister?"
Hearing that the girl was Lian Xiang's sister, the guards looked at each other. The
madam was negotiating the price inside. The price had been agreed upon, but when she heard Lian Xiang's words, her face changed immediately.
"Is this girl Lianxiang's sister?"
The old nanny had no idea whose sister Tang Ruxue was. She hesitated for a moment and was somewhat speechless.
Seeing this, the madam waved her hand and said, "Hurry up, hurry up."
"I can't afford to offend the people on the other side."
"Don't bring such people of unknown origin to me in the future. It's not like before. The people above are catching them strictly. If something happens, it will be bad."
As soon as the Shunyi Army arrived, they distributed food to everyone and arrested a lot of human traffickers.
It seems to be a good thing.
She didn't dare to take risks. She had to wait and see.
The old nanny had sold many people, but this was the first time she was caught so quickly.
Hearing Lian Xiang's voice, she grabbed the madam's hand in panic: "Madam, you have to help me, this man is blocking the way outside, if I go out now, he will definitely not let me go."
"We have dealt with each other a lot, you have to help me."
"Okay, I'll block him for you, you take him out through the back door."
"If you know what's going on, throw him to the opposite door. Don't underestimate the opposite side. Yangliu Tower looks like an ordinary brothel, but the girls inside are united, and it won't be a problem for them to find an old lady like you."
"It doesn't matter if you earn less money, but if you offend them, you won't be able to live a peaceful life in the future."
Don't look at the girls in Yangliulou, who are usually delicate and weak and seem to be easy to bully, but if someone really offends them, they will definitely unite as one and take revenge by any means.
There have been many people who bumped into them in recent years, and none of them had a good ending.
Before, there was a brothel that didn't know what it was thinking, and bullied these girls many times, and soon disappeared in this brothel.
The madam didn't want to follow in their footsteps.
The old lady was quite hesitant. Tang Ruxue was fair-skinned and beautiful, and the madam just offered twenty taels of silver.
She couldn't just throw away so much silver.
She agreed, and after leaving with Tang Ruxue, she went to other brothels.
Seeing such a top-notch girl like Tang Ruxue, other brothels would naturally not let her go. Although the money they offered was not as high as the one just now, it was still more than ten taels.
The old nanny left the girl behind and ran away, fearing that she would be found by the girls of Yangliu Tower.
Lian Xiang watched the person go to the opposite side, but she couldn't find her, so she had to give up.
She returned to the building, feeling uneasy.
"I don't know what happened to the girl."
Seeing that Lianxiang was worried, Shaoyao whispered, "Now the city is full of patrol officers. If the child was really kidnapped, the old nanny would not dare to take her to the streets. She was probably sold to a nearby brothel."
"The girl looks young. Even if she is taken in by a nearby brothel, she will need to be disciplined for a while."
"When the girls are resting during the day, we will search one by one and we will definitely find her."
"But, the brothel paid money to buy the girl, so I'm afraid it won't let her go easily."
Lianxiang knew what Shaoyao said.
These brothels are very shady. If you buy a girl with ten taels of silver, you will need at least one hundred taels to redeem her.
She didn't have that much silver.
A guest called her, and she couldn't hide all the time, so she had to go out to receive the guest.
As soon as she took a break, she hurriedly dragged her sisters to look for someone.
The sisters changed their clothes and followed Lian Xiang to look for someone.
When they found the person, it was already daybreak and many merchants were out hawking their wares.
The girls were exhausted from looking for someone.
The brothel that bought Tang Ruxue refused to let her go no matter what.
"Miss Lian Xiang, you are also in this business, you should know the rules here. You have to give me at least ten times the money before I will let her go."
"I know the rules. I don't have that much money at the moment. I just want to see her first, okay?"
The old brothel owner looked at Lian Xiang and waved her fan impatiently: "Okay, okay."
"The person is in the woodshed at the back. I will only give you one stick of incense."
One stick of incense is not short.
Lian Xiang hurried to the woodshed.
Tang Ruxue was tied up and gagged, lying on the haystack. She curled up in fear when she heard the footsteps.
Lian Xiang saw Tang Ruxue like this and said to her, "Don't worry, young lady. I'm not a bad person. I'm from Yangliu Tower. I saw you tied up yesterday, so I wanted to come and help you."
As Lian Xiang spoke, she took the cloth out of Tang Ruxue's mouth.
"Where do you live, young lady? Do you need me to inform your family?"
Tang Ruxue nodded hurriedly: "My brother is General Tang Shi. My brother and I had a quarrel, which gave this bad guy an opportunity to take advantage of us."
"Sister, please ask my brother to save me. I will definitely reward you after the success."
Lian Xiang did not expect Tang Ruxue's identity to be so noble!
She was shocked.
"Don't worry, young lady, I will find someone to save you."
"I will give the madam some money and ask her to change your room, but you must listen to the madam and don't resist no matter what she says."
"Don't worry, you are young and untrained, she will definitely not let you receive customers. As long as you don't disobey her, she will definitely not make things difficult for you."
Tang Ruxue's eyes were filled with tears, and her voice was choked with sobs: "Thank you, sister."
At this moment, she completely forgot what she had said before about being self-reliant. She was looking forward to Tang Shi coming to save her as soon
as possible. "Just now I wanted to redeem you, but the old procuress insisted on a hundred taels of silver. Fortunately, your brother is General Tang. If he were an ordinary person, I'm afraid he really couldn't save you."
Lian Xiang sighed and tied Tang Ruxue up.
She took Tang Ruxue to the front hall and gave the old procuress ten taels of silver in front of Tang Ruxue.
"My sister is not sensible. I trouble Madam to take better care of her. These ten taels of silver are her food expenses during this period."
"Madam, please give her a better room and some food. Don't make things difficult for her." Someone
like Tang Ruxue, who has just joined the building and cannot receive customers, cannot make money. Now that Lian Xiang is willing to take the money, the madam is naturally happy.
She grinned and pulled the wrinkles on her face: "We are neighbors. We will see each other every day. Don't worry, young lady, I will take good care of your sister."
"It's just..." The madam weighed the silver in her hand and said with a smile: "Let's agree in advance that this silver is only food expenses and will not be included in the cost of redemption."
