She cast a scornful look at the man: "You know best what you have done. I warn you, if you dare not treat the child well in the future, I will never forgive you..."

The two were also afraid of Chu Weiyue's ferocity and agreed repeatedly.

After a few warnings, he strode away.

Because they won money, they took their children to continue gambling after dinner.

But this time his luck was bad. He didn't win once in ten consecutive games and instead lost all his money.

Just as they were about to leave, they were stopped by the gambling house owner, who took out a promissory note and threw it in front of them.

"Lao Zhao, you've owed me money for some time, isn't it time to pay it back?" the boss asked fiercely, with a big belly.

The man almost cried, and immediately bowed and begged: "I lost money today because of bad luck, we will definitely pay it back another day, please give me some more time."

"Don't give me that. I've seen a lot of gamblers like you. Either pay me back today, or I'll chop off one of your fingers. It's your choice!"

Then, several thugs dragged them to the backyard and pinned the couple to the ground.

The child was so frightened that he burst into tears. A thug slapped him twice in the face. He was so frightened that his whole body was shaking and he dared not even make a sound to cry.

The moment the knife fell fiercely, the man screamed miserably, but the knife only pierced between his fingers.

He was so scared that he broke out in a cold sweat and collapsed completely.

"Boss, I was wrong, please let me go..." He knelt on the ground and begged for mercy while wailing loudly.

Suddenly, he saw a crying child, and he crawled over to take the child to the gambling house owner.

"I have a child. I will mortgage him to you. Boys are easy to sell for money. Please let me go..."

Looking at the well-behaved and cute child, the gambling house owner felt indignant.

But they also knew that they couldn't afford to pay the money, so they had to leave the child behind and let them go.

That night, the child was sold back to the steward.

After receiving the news, Wen Jingchi and Chu Weiyue went there immediately.

As time was of the essence, he could only order his men to find troops and they went there first.

When we arrived at the black market bun shop, we found that they were doing a deal and had even signed a special receipt!

Chu Weiyue snorted contemptuously: "You said the child's origin was innocent, how do you explain it now? According to the court law, those who illegally buy and sell children must be beheaded in public!"

Because she was angry, her words were very harsh.

The manager was stunned for a moment before he realized everything.

"Oh! So you didn't buy the child, but infiltrated our group! Even if I buy and sell the child, what can I do? If you two have the guts, just report it to the authorities. I want to see who will care about such trivial matters!"

The manager held his head high, looking very arrogant.

Wen Jingchi, who had been silent the whole time, couldn't help but smile: "This is the capital, there are many officials who want to make achievements. The bigger the backers behind you, the more officials will want to seize the opportunity to rise to power. Even if we don't have the ability to touch the people above you, don't their opponents want to do that?"

These words made the manager's face change instantly, and he threw his head back and laughed.

"I originally thought you were little ghosts, but it turns out you have met the King of Hell today. In that case, I will send you to heaven now and see if you still have a chance to live!"

Then he turned his attention to the other men.

They swung up wooden sticks and hit Chu Weiyue and Wen Jingchi hard.

"careful!"

A stick was aimed at Chu Weiyue's head. She subconsciously dodged backwards, but another stick hit her from the side.

Chu Weiyue closed her eyes tightly, because it was too late to dodge. She just hoped that the storm would not be so severe...

Wen Jingchi acted quickly, immediately pulling Chu Weiyue into his arms, snatching the stick from one of the men, and smashing it on the steward.

The manager was unable to dodge and felt a sharp pain in his chest, spitting out blood.

Just when the two sides were in a stalemate, Wen Chenxuan finally led his men here!

"Surround this place and don't let anyone go!" He was wearing golden armor and looked solemn.

In less than a moment, the officers and soldiers had surrounded the place, with no one able to get in or out.

"Are you okay?" Chu Weiyue hurriedly ran to Wen Jingchi and asked.

"fine."

Wen Jingchi didn't want to be close to Chu Weiyue and deliberately kept his distance from her.

"How come you're okay? Let me see it quickly. I'm so sad that you're hurt..."

Chu Weiyue smiled smugly, and pulled his arm hard, deliberately disgusting Wen Chenxuan who was standing next to him.

Although he had no feelings for Chu Weiyue, they had been engaged in the past. Now that Chu Weiyue was feeling sorry for Wen Jingchi in front of so many people, where would he put his face!

He darkened his expression and cast a murderous look on the steward.

"They actually dared to buy and sell children in the capital. This is a heinous crime! Arrest them all and put them in death row!"

The manager was not panicked at all, but raised the corner of his lips calmly.

"Young man, I advise you not to touch me, otherwise it will not do you any good. You entered the court to serve as officials for wealth and glory. As long as you let me go, you only need to let me go. This won't be difficult for you, right?"

"Why should I let you go?" Wen Chenxuan held the sword with contempt in his eyes.

"Because if you let him go, you can rise to the top, only a fool would do it, right? Young man, I advise you to be sensible. It will not do you any good to go against me..."

Wen Chenxuan had already been humiliated, and this sentence was like a slap in the face, instantly enraging him.

With a grim look on his face, he drew out his sword and hit the manager's arm hard.

"How dare you be so arrogant in front of this person, Chen Xuan. Tell me the truth, who gave you the courage to speak so arrogantly? If you don't tell me today, this person, Chen Xuan, doesn't mind using a special method to make you tell me. It would be better to let you try all the 108 kinds of torture one by one..."

The manager had no idea that he was Wen Chenxuan and was stunned on the spot.

"Your Highness, please spare my life! I am blind and do not recognize a great man. I beg Wen Chenxuan to spare me. I will tell you everything I know. Please let me go..."

He is not only afraid of death, but also afraid of living a life worse than death!

"Take him away!"

Wen Chenxuan kicked him to the ground. Chu Weiyue was so angry that he ran over and stomped on the manager's face several times.

And those who had just tried to hit her with sticks, she picked up the sticks and hit them hard a few times to vent her anger.

"I let you fight just now, I let you fight!"

He kept beating them until they vomited blood and fell to the ground begging for mercy, and only then did he stop.

I threw the stick on the ground, almost getting a stitch in the side from exhaustion.

This scene left everyone present speechless!

Wen Jingchi frowned in depression, but he had long been accustomed to this woman's strong desire for revenge and brutality.

After these people were taken away, they were detained and interrogated immediately.

But because they were all small fry and had not yet found out anything, the group decided to go and report to the emperor first.
