Chapter 368: Forced into prostitution
"It's okay, Sister Bishuang." Yuan Ziyu smiled and said, "Let the little girl come in to clean up and change the pot of tea."
"Yes, Second Miss."
After the debris on the ground was cleared and Bishuang brought new tea, Yuan Ziyu said to Yuan Qifeng, "Dad, you promised not to be angry."
Yuan Qifeng's face had been dark from the beginning until now. When he heard Yuan Ziyu's words, he angrily said, "You'er, I didn't know that your second uncle hated me so much."
If the letters of treason mentioned in this letter were really delivered to the emperor by Yuan Qilei, given the emperor's current suspicion of him, I'm afraid the entire general's mansion would be destroyed. By then, wouldn't his wife, children, and elderly mother...
What on earth had he done to make his only brother go so far as to join forces with the Chi-Le spies to frame him?
"Dad," Yuan Ziyou sighed, "Do you think he treated you like a real brother based on what he did in the past?"
Yuan Ziyu really didn't want to mention the word "Second Uncle" again.
Upon hearing this, Yuan Qifeng sighed dejectedly. After all, the two brothers could never go back to the way they were before.
Seeing Yuan Qifeng's sad expression, Yuan Ziyu knew that it would take time for Yuan Qifeng to completely accept this fact. However, some things are now imminent. If they are not resolved properly, who knows what disaster their Yuan family will suffer?
"Dad," Yuan Ziyou said, "This matter needs to be resolved quickly."
Upon hearing this, Yuan Qifeng looked at Yuan Ziyu and said, "You'er, have you made up your mind?"
"Yeah." Yuan Ziyou said, "At least, Chen Yan can't stay."
"Whatever kind of manpower you need, Dad will assign it to you." Yuan Qifeng is now very confident in Yuan Ziyu. Seeing that she has already made up her mind, he naturally tried his best to cooperate.
"No need." Yuan Ziyou smiled. She came this time just to tell Yuan Qifeng in advance so that he would have a general idea. "Brother Xi has left more people for me. It's enough."
"Okay then. If you're still short of manpower, tell Daddy." Yuan Qifeng already knew that Huo Xifei had secretly gone to the border, so he said, "According to the schedule, Fei'er should have arrived at the border, right?"
"Well, it's almost time." Yuan Ziyu nodded. Although he had prepared a lot of things for Huo Xifei, he was still a little worried. He didn't know whether Huo Xifei's trip to the border would go smoothly.
At this time, Huo Xifei did encounter some minor troubles.
This time, Huo Xifei brought Pingshan, Huo San and Huo Si to the border secretly. In order not to reveal their whereabouts, they disguised themselves. If someone asked them, they would just say that they came to the border to look for relatives.
Huo Xifei's appearance was already outstanding, and it became even more so after drinking the spiritual spring water. Even though he tried to cover it up, he still looked handsome.
Now there are continuous wars on the border, and several cities have been lost one after another. The people in those cities saw that these border soldiers were no match for the Chile army, and the court did not send troops to support them, so they fled one after another.
For a time, the situation on the border was in chaos, with bandits and robbers rampant.
"Please, save me, save me."
That day, Huo Xifei and his group came to a small town. They simply ate a bowl of noodles at a street stall and planned to continue on their journey. Just after they left the town and walked not far, they saw a young woman running towards them in panic.
The young woman's eyes were filled with pleading: "Gentlemen, please be kind and save me. Those people are trying to arrest me."
It was noon and there were few people on the road. Huo Xifei saw several ferocious-looking men chasing after him.
"What's going on?" Huo Xifei couldn't just ignore the situation, so he frowned and asked.
"My parents wanted to sell me, but I refused, so I ran away secretly." The young woman burst into tears as she spoke. "But I didn't expect to be discovered and caught. I finally escaped. If I were caught again, I'm afraid... I'm afraid..."
As she spoke, the young woman cried even harder.
"If you know what's good for you, mind your own business, or you might lose your life accidentally." The vicious men caught up with them and said viciously when they saw the woman hiding behind Huo Xifei and the others.
"Sir, save me." The young woman tried to pull Huo Xifei's sleeve, but Huo Xifei gave her a cold look. She timidly put her hand down and hid beside Huo San: "I really don't want to be caught. They... they are not from a good place."
Although these words were obscure, they were enough for Huo Xifei and the others to understand.
Huo Xifei frowned and said, "Forcing a woman of good character into prostitution, according to the laws of the Dali Dynasty, what is the corresponding crime?"
"Ouch?" One of the big men laughed and said, "You're just a brat, you think you're a high-ranking official. What crime can you be charged with?"
As he spoke, he raised his chin and snorted, "Don't you see where this is?"
Pingshan glared at the big man and said, "No matter where this place is, it is still the territory of the Dali Dynasty. How can you be so presumptuous as to snatch people in the street?"
"Humph, this is the territory of the Dali Dynasty now. Who knows whose territory it will be in a few days." The big man was not at all concerned: "Don't you see what a mess it is here? I haven't seen anyone from the court come to check it out, and you're still telling me all this nonsense. Let me tell you, this girl's parents have already accepted the money and sold her to us. Now we are officially capturing her and taking her back."
"No." The woman grabbed Huo San's sleeve in panic, "Don't take me away. I don't want to go with them. Gentlemen, please save me. Please save me. I beg you."
The woman cried even harder and hid behind Huo San in fear, fearing that she would be captured by these people.
"Humph, we've already given you the silver, you can't refuse it." The man snorted coldly, waved his hand, and roared, "Brothers, take the man away."
"Okay, big brother." Upon hearing the words, several people behind the big man rushed over with a grim smile on their faces.
A few rabble were naturally no match for Huo Xifei and his men. Huo Xifei didn't even need to take action. In a short while, those arrogant and domineering men fell to the ground like a pile of Arhats, and the man who was pressed underneath was howling like ghosts.
"This is a lesson for you. If I meet you again next time, I won't just give you a simple beating." Huo Xifei said lightly.
"Why don't you get out of here?" Pingshan waved his fist. "Want to stay and get beaten up again?"
"Ouch, let's get out of here, get out of here..." The big men were scared after being beaten, and when they saw Pingshan raising his fist again, they were so scared that they ran away crawling.
