Bai Hejing broke out in a cold sweat, "Yes, yes, yes... They were fleeing from the war on the northwest border. Those people sold themselves cheaply to the common people. They can't read, so they don't have a contract..."
Captain Zhao came in from outside and handed over an account book. Bai Xiushan looked up and saw that it was his own account book that he had hidden carefully. He instantly became deflated.
"Captain Zhao has just presented this County Magistrate with an account book clearly showing the profits from the Bai family pawnshop's human trafficking since the year before last, with Bai Xiushan taking a 7:3 share. Will you two confess your guilt?"
