"Well, why doesn't Li Bangyan agree?" Zhao Huan asked.
The girl said, "Prime Minister Li thinks I am a country girl and unworthy of his young master. I think marrying into his mansion as a concubine would bring shame to his family."
Zhan Yunpeng, standing nearby, angrily said, "As a woman, you've been violated by someone, so you should have gone and sued Li Xiaoyi. Why are you giving in to his concubine?"
The woman's father hurriedly said, "When my daughter was raped, I went to the Kaifeng prefect to file a complaint. The prefect, Xu Bingzhe, said it was clearly my daughter who seduced Mr. Li, and he let me off the hook by not charging me with false accusation. We had no choice but to sing in this restaurant again to make a living. Thinking of our miserable lives, I burst into tears. I apologize for disturbing you gentlemen while you're having a drink. I apologize!"
The old man kept kowtowing, and Zhao Huan asked, "What's your name?"

Zhao Huan remained calm and asked Cao Dongsheng for paper and pen. He wrote a letter and handed it to Jin Cui Lian: "Take this letter to the Kaifeng prefect. Xu Bingzhe will not dare to refuse to accept your case. He will certainly handle your case impartially."
Jin Lao Er couldn't believe it: "Sir, what should I do if the prefect reads the letter and doesn't make a decision for me?"
Zhao Huan smiled and said, "He doesn't have the guts to do that. If he doesn't dare to do justice for you, I will come back for a drink in seven days. You can come find me then."
The father and daughter were half-believing and half-doubting, so they put the letter in their arms and kowtowed.
