"Guess what I saw?"
When Jiang Tuantuan mentioned this, he immediately perked up. "What did you see? Stop teasing me!"
"I saw the Patriarch of the Bai family go to the brothel and stayed there until late at night."
"I thought it was something else, but it turns out to be this. Isn't it normal for men to go to brothels?"
The elf said, "But the wife of the Bai family's patriarch is a henpecked husband."
This alerted Jiang Tuantuan, who immediately asked the elf to continue watching and sent two imperial guards to investigate the situation of the Bai family's patriarch and his wife.
The next morning, the imperial guards returned with the news.
The Bai family actually rose to prominence thanks to his wife. His wife's family was very powerful and had her eyes on the head of the Bai family. At first, the head of the Bai family was quite honest and decent, but as time went on, he began to become unfaithful and always wanted to play around secretly, but his wife was strict and never allowed him to.
They had made an agreement at the beginning that if the head of the Bai family did anything to let his wife down after marriage, he would be divorced and would not get any share of the family property.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Tuantuan immediately laughed. It seemed that he had found the weak spot.
"Little elf, do you know which woman the Bai family's Patriarch was hanging out with in the brothel yesterday?"
"Of course I know!"
"Okay, let's go there now."
Jiang Tuantuan and two imperial guards rushed to the brothel. The brothel was closed in the morning. After knocking on the door, no one opened it. The imperial guards kicked it open. The old brothel owner who was sleeping in the room quickly ran down and yelled, "What are you doing?"
But when he saw the swords on the waists of the imperial guards, he was so scared that he stopped talking.
Jiang Tuantuan described the woman's characteristics and asked the madam to bring her out.
The madam didn't dare to resist and brought the woman over obediently. The woman was in such a hurry to go downstairs that she didn't even put on all her clothes.
Jiang Tuantuan asked, "You were the one hanging out with the Patriarch of the Bai family last night, weren't you?"
The woman's eyes became flustered. The head of the Bai family had given her many warnings last night, warning her not to tell anyone about this matter, and even gave her a large sum of money.
"No, I don't even know who the Patriarch of the Bai family is!"
"Don't lie, I saw it all. He gave you a hundred taels of silver, right?"
When the madam heard the one hundred taels, she immediately became anxious, stepped forward, grabbed the woman by the collar, and slapped her in the face.
"You little bitch, you actually dared to lie to me and say he only gave you fifty taels of silver, yet you actually took so much!"
"Mom, don't hit me, I was wrong," the woman cried, touching her red face.
The matter was clear now. Jiang Tuantuan grabbed the woman and tried to drag her out.
The woman yelled, "Where are you taking me and what are you going to do!"
The madam also dragged her away and refused to let her go. After all, this was a girl from his shop, and she was pretty. How could she be taken away so easily? If she was taken away, he had to pay.
Jiang Tuantuan directly threw her fifty taels of silver and said, "I'll just borrow it for a while. I'll bring it back to you in good condition tonight!"
The madam immediately picked up the silver on the ground.
Jiang Tuantuan prompted again, "Why don't you go to her room and search for the remaining fifty taels of silver?"
Hearing this, the madam was too lazy to stop him and went straight upstairs to find the silver.
The woman was taken away in tears.
Then he was gagged and stuffed into the carriage.
He went straight to the Bai family.
When they arrived at the door, the servant saw that it was them again, so he immediately called the head of the Bai family.
The Patriarch of the Bai Family said arrogantly, "Have you made up your mind? Then take out the money, or I won't give you any of this cotton."
Facing his provocation, Jiang Tuantuan remained calm and not angry. Instead, she invited him to talk at the restaurant across the street.
The head of the Bai family agreed.
Jiang Tuantuan and he went into a room in the restaurant first, "Master Bai, I have something good to show you!"
After saying that, he clapped his hands, and two imperial guards tied up the woman. After taking off the blindfold on the woman's eyes, the head of the Bai family was completely panicked.
Isn’t this the woman she had sex with last night? Why is she here?
The Patriarch of the Bai Family pretended to be calm and said, "Who is she? Why did you bring her here?"
Jiang Tuantuan burst out laughing. "If you ask me, men are the most heartless. You don't remember the tenderness we had last night at all, and about the one hundred taels of silver. If you want to hear more details, I know everything."
With a loud bang, the Bai family patriarch threw the teacup to the ground. He pointed at the woman and cursed, "Did you tell her, you bitch? I've already given you so much money, what on earth do you want to do?"
The woman's mouth was blocked and she couldn't speak. She could only cry and shake her head.
But the head of the Bai family didn't believe it at all, and his anger took over.
"Why are you so anxious? The fun has just begun, Patriarch Bai!"
At this moment, he was afraid of the woman in front of him and wanted to slap her, but the two imperial guards standing behind him made him dare not do anything.
I can only bear it.
After a moment's pause, the Patriarch of the Bai Family said stubbornly, "So what if you knew? It's normal for men to go to brothels."
"It's normal, but you are not normal, your wife."
Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted, "Just tell me what you want."
Hearing this, Jiang Tuantuan laughed. He was finally no longer the arrogant head of the Bai family.
"I want you to sell me all the cotton at the lowest cost price, which is the price you bought it from the farmers, not a penny higher, and then give me all the finished clothes for free."
This was simply asking for too much. The Patriarch of the Bai family immediately said, "No! I'll lose a lot of money."
"Think it over before you talk to me. You have no other choice. If you don't want to be kicked out, then just listen to me."
Jiang Tuantuan stared at him sharply.
It makes my hair stand on end just looking at him.
Then he threatened, "Not only will I kick you out of the house, I'll also ruin your reputation. You won't be able to make a living in Jiangnan. You'll become an ungrateful, despised pauper. Do you know how beggars on the street survive? That's what you'll end up like! You'll even be worse off than them."
Jiang Tuantuan looked at her and smiled sinisterly.
People like the head of the Bai family are the kind of people who bully the weak and fear the strong. The more ruthless you are, the more cowardly he becomes, and the more cowardly you are, the ruthless he becomes.
Faced with Jiang Tuantuan's threat, the head of the Bai family compromised and completely gave up resistance.
Agreed to the request.
Jiang Tuantuan took out the contract from his pocket and asked him to sign it.
He had no choice but to do as he was told.
"I want to receive everything tonight. If I don't, you're done. You'll have to bear the consequences!"
After saying that, he left without looking back, leaving the distraught head of the Bai family alone.
The woman was also sent back to the brothel.
