Chapter 445 Kill
Lu Li was afraid that he would have a breakdown after hearing what she said, which would attract the attention of others, so she said, "This is not the place to talk. Come with me."
Tao Rong had a blank expression on his face, and he dragged his stiff body and followed Lu Li out of the tavern.
Everyone followed in a hurry.
Lu Li took him to the inn where they were staying and handed him a cup of tea.
"From now on, no matter what I say, you have to hold on. Do you understand? Your mother is still waiting for you to come home."
"I can bear it, Miss Jiu, just tell me." Tao Rong clenched the teacup in his hand.
"Two months ago, your sister was brought to Erzhou by A Tai's neighbor in the tribe. She said she could make money by reselling furs here, and there was a shortage of cooks here. She could earn ten taels of silver a month." Lu Li told the story slowly.
Ten taels of silver?
It’s enough for an average family to spend half a year.
No wonder my sister was moved.
Tao Rong nodded and continued to listen to Lu Li.
"But this is a scam. What Sister A Tai introduced to your sister was not a cook's job, and what she and her husband are selling here are not furs. They are young girls from Da Xia." Lu Li said this with anger in her eyes.
"What?" Tao Rong's eyes, which were as cold as a pond, suddenly burst into fire.
"A-Tai's wife was also tricked by her husband into selling her body. If she didn't help to trick someone here, she would be beaten. Her husband threatened her that if she failed to trick someone, he would send her daughter to a brothel."
"So what! Her daughter is a treasure, and Yinyin is our treasure too!" Tao Rong couldn't control his emotions and smashed the teacup to the ground.
Thinking of what might have happened to his sister, Tao Rong covered his face and burst into tears.
"That's right. No matter what happened to her, it's not a reason for her to harm others." Lu Li said with a cold face.
"Isn't Mrs. A-Tai's daughter her husband's?" Lu Can couldn't help but ask.
"Yes." Lu Li nodded.
Everyone present was angry.
Even a tiger won't eat its own cubs, but this man actually wants to sell his own daughter. He is such a piece of shit!
"Atai's wife tricked two fellow villagers into coming here. One is your sister, and the other is the daughter of her mother-in-law's cousin. After your sister was forced to receive clients, Atai's wife sent someone to send the money she earned back to your brother-in-law. She lied that they were living well here."
"A-Tai's wife threatened your sister with the child. Your sister was forced to accept clients for two months. She lived a life worse than death, so she hanged herself last night." Lu Li summarized the whole thing simply.
Just a few words, but it is Tao Yinyin's tragic ending.
Tao Rong cried even harder.
If he had not been entangled yesterday and had directly asked the Crown Princess for help, would he have been able to save his sister in time and she would not have died.
"I'm going to kill that couple. I'm going to avenge Yin Yin!" Tao Rong was so angry that all the blood in his body went to his brain.
At this moment, there was only one word left in his mind: kill!
"Miss Jiu, please tell me where they are now?" Tao Rong was so angry that his body was shaking.
"First, contact the Daxia officials stationed in Erzhou, and then go to the brothel together to rescue the deceived women. As for Mr. and Mrs. A Tai, you can beat them up, but you can't take their lives. Their lives must be handed over to the government." Lu Li said calmly.
"If I don't kill them, I'll be sorry to Yin Yin!" Tao Rong was still furious and would not listen to any advice.
"If you kill them, you will go to jail and your mother will be in danger. Are you sure you want her to lose her daughter and then her son before she dies?" Lu Li sighed.
"Every country has its own laws, and every family has its own rules. I can't watch you kill someone in front of me."
"Then I can do it behind your back so you can't see it, right?" Long Aotian felt itchy and wanted to help Tao Rong.
Such evil people are wasting food while they are alive.
Lu Li gave him an unpleasant look.
For things like this, you can just do it secretly, why tell her?
She is the crown princess, how can she say yes?
Seeing Lu Li's murderous eyes, Long Aotian touched the tip of his nose and dared not say a word.
Instead, it was Tao Rong who was awakened by Lu Li's words.
"Don't worry, Miss Jiu, I won't act impulsively. Mother is still waiting for me to bring Yinyin home." He spoke with a sob.
"Miss Jiu's great kindness will be forever remembered by me."
After saying this, he knelt down and kowtowed three times to Lu Li.
After he finished kowtowing, Lu Li helped him up.
"Let's go, let's go now. If we are a step later, one more girl will be tortured."
"Okay!" Everyone agreed immediately.
Qin Xiao and Qu Songnian were responsible for contacting local officials.
Upon learning that a girl from Daxia was trafficked to Erzhou to be a prostitute, the local official Lu Yinzhou was shocked.
"I will go and negotiate with their officials now."
"Your Highness means that we should rescue people directly and negotiate later." Qin Xiao reminded.
"I know a little about the place you mentioned. This was done by their local gang. A strong dragon cannot defeat a local snake. I'm afraid that we don't have enough people and can't rescue the people. Instead, we will lose both the lady and the soldiers." Lu Yinzhou spoke with some embarrassment.
Qin Xiao frowned and asked, "How many people are there?"
"I estimate there are about 100 to 200 people." Lu Yinzhou replied.
"Don't you have some small bombs, or grenades? How many do you have?" Qu Songnian suddenly remembered this important matter and asked.
"I remember the court will provide you with at least twenty, right?"
"Yes, twenty grenades and two bombs. They are for us to protect ourselves. They cannot be opened unless it is absolutely necessary." Lu Yinzhou nodded.
"Then how many people are available?" Qu Songnian asked again.
"Including me, there are only twenty people." Lu Yinzhou said somewhat awkwardly.
"Let's take ten grenades with us, plus His Highness, and the twenty people. That should be enough, right?" Qu Songnian asked Qin Xiao for his opinion.
The Crown Princess and Fengqi are both good at warding off beasts. If they can call out some black bears and tigers, it will be easy to control them.
"Absolutely not!" Lu Yinzhou hurried to stop them.
"If anything happens to His Highness, I will be executed by the entire family."
"You should still worry about whether something will happen to you. His Highness is very powerful." Qin Xiao said lightly.
Lu Yinzhou: …
"That's right, what we have to do is not to hold His Highness back." Qu Songnian patted his shoulder.
"Then, shall we call someone now, take the things and go?" Lu Yinzhou looked at the two of them tentatively.
"Well, let's go. His Highness is waiting. Remember not to reveal His Highness's identity in front of outsiders. Just call her Miss Nine." Qu Songnian reminded him again.
"Yes, I understand." Lu Yinzhou nodded and immediately ordered everyone to search the brothel to rescue the person.
They acted quickly and caught the brothel madam off guard.
"Who are you? Do you know whose territory this is? Get out, get out now!"
