Leng Yu frowned and dodged the woman, then saw her kneeling down at his feet, pulling hard at his clothes.
"Sir, save me, save me, someone wants to kill me."
The woman's words made Leng Yu's face change drastically. Seeing this, A Cai hurried forward and pulled her away.
Leng Yu hurriedly leaned towards Luo Lan and took her hand.
"Be careful, Lan'er."
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw several men rushing over with sticks in their hands. They came in front of Leng Yu and the others. The fat man in the lead raised the stick in his hand, pointed at Leng Yu and Luo Lan, and cursed loudly.
"You guys, stop meddling in other people's business and get out of here."
Even if Leng Yu didn't want to get involved in this matter, he had to do it after hearing such harsh words from them.
Ah Hou glanced at Leng Yu and saw that he was frowning. She took two steps forward and pushed the man's stick away with the long sword in her hand. She said angrily and displeasedly:
"How dare you, a few grown men, bully a woman in broad daylight? This is outrageous..."
The fat man snorted coldly, then laughed mockingly.
"Hahaha, you guys are obviously from outside. I advise you not to meddle in other people's business in Yilan County, otherwise, you will suffer the consequences."
Seeing this fat man talking so arrogantly, Ah Hou shook his head and looked at him with his arms folded in disdain.
"From your tone, could it be that your Yilan County is not under the jurisdiction of Daning State? But I've only heard of Yilan County, not Yilan State."
The fat man was stunned for a moment, then squinted his eyes a few times, muttered a few words to the people around him, and then trotted away.
The fat man then looked at the woman hiding behind Ah Hong and Ah Cai and asked viciously,
"Will you come back with us?"
The woman looked at the fat man with fear.
"Please let me go, my father owes you money, I will pay you back, I don't want to go to a brothel, please let me go!"
"Your father has written in black and white that he wants you to pay off his gambling debts. If you want us to let you go, that's fine. Now bring us the money."
"I don't have it now, but don't worry, I will earn it and I will pay it back soon."
"Earn? Where can you earn it? Why not come to Xiangyue Tower and earn it? That money comes so quickly. I advise you not to cause trouble for these friends from outside the area. Come back with us quickly. Otherwise, not only will your father's life be in danger, but you will also be whipped when you go back."
The woman tugged at Ah Cai's clothes tightly and shook her head vigorously.
"No, I won't go to a brothel. Please forgive me, please forgive me."
After saying this, she seemed to realize that the people in front of her were all centered around Luo Lan. She hurriedly got up from the ground and knelt down in front of Luo Lan.
"Miss, please save me. I am willing to work like a slave to repay you. I don't want to be a prostitute. I don't want to."
Luo Lan looked at this thin woman with delicate features and patches all over her body, and stepped forward to help her up.
"Girl, if you have anything to say, please stand up and speak."
"Miss, my father lost money gambling and had no money to give me, so he sold me to a brothel. I don't want to go to a brothel, they will beat me to death."
Hearing this, Luo Lan looked up at the fat man and asked coldly,
"Her father lost money gambling, and you should go and ask him to pay the debt. Why are you using her to pay off the gambling debt? You are basically forcibly abducting a woman, violating the laws of Daning State. Don't you know your crime?"
The fat man looked Luo Lan up and down with his not-so-shrewd little eyes, then snorted in disdain.
"Miss, the laws of the Daning Kingdom can be changed at will in Yilan County. Since you are from outside the area, I will not bother you. I advise you to leave quickly, otherwise, you will not be able to leave soon."
Hearing this, the Queen pointed at him angrily.
"You're so arrogant! Today I want to see how you can prevent us from leaving."
Before he could finish his words, the fat man in the lead dodged and the people behind him made way for him at the same time.
Suddenly, a beautiful and graceful woman appeared in front of everyone with a group of police officers. As she walked, she kept shouting,
"Who is so bold as to cause trouble in Yilan County?"
The fat man hurriedly nodded and bowed as he came forward.
"Sister Feng, I dared not disturb you, but this girl is so ignorant that she hides among these outsiders and won't come out. What do you think?"
The woman named Fengjie raised her hand and signaled the fat man to stop talking.
She took two steps forward, looked Leng Yu up and down, and suddenly a look of admiration appeared in her eyes.
Over the years, she has met countless people, but she has never seen a man like the one in front of her who can make people's hearts ripple when they see him.
She secretly swallowed her saliva, calmed down the anger that had risen when she just came, and bowed to Leng Yu, looking at him with extremely gentle eyes.
"May I ask where you are from, sir? Why are you meddling in the affairs of Xiangyue Tower?"
Leng Yu frowned and looked at this gorgeous and elegant woman, and asked in a cold voice:
"I didn't want to get involved, but I saw you snatch someone from Xiangyue Tower on the street, so I had to intervene."
"Sir, you are wrong. We didn't rob people in the street for no reason. I have the document here, written in black and white. Her father, Deng Dachun, owes me money and is unable to repay it, so he is using his daughter, Deng Xiaoyue, to pay off the debt."
As she spoke, Fengjie shook a piece of straw paper in her hand. Leng Yu did not look at the paper carefully, but directly questioned in a cold voice,
"Deng Dachun owes you money, and you're asking Deng Xiaoyue to pay it back. This is completely unreasonable. Besides, Daning State doesn't allow the buying and selling of living people. Do you really want to disregard Daning State's laws?"
"Hahaha……"
Sister Feng suddenly raised her head and laughed, then she looked at Leng Yu with a charming look, and slowly approached him while raising her eyebrows and asking,
"Sir, haven't you heard the saying, 'A son pays his father's debts?' Now I just want to ask you one thing: do you really want to intervene in this matter?"
Leng Yu glared at her coldly and replied in a cold voice,
"Yes, since this matter has come to me, I must take care of it."
"Okay, then go to the prison!"
After saying that, Fengjie waved her hand, and the dozens of officials behind her rushed forward. She waved the handkerchief in her hand and ordered contemptuously,
"My Lords, these outsiders do not understand the rules of Yilan County. Please teach them a lesson, my Lord Magistrate."
Seeing this, Ahou and Acai stood together in front of Leng Yu and Luo Lan. They did not take the dozens of officials in front of them seriously at all.
Leng Yu instructed them:
"Since Yilan County has its own rules, we can't break them. Get out of the way. Today I want to see what's different about the Yilan County Government Office."
Luo Lan tugged at the corner of his clothes and shook her head slightly.
"Husband..."
He looked back at her tenderly.
"Don't be afraid, my lady. This small Yilan County can't hold us."
After saying this, he whispered to the Queen,
"Go back to the store first and tell Ayu and Ahong not to act rashly. If we don't come out in three days, go rescue us together with Ahong and Ayu. If that doesn't work, take your token and go outside the city to find reinforcements from the garrison."
"This is too dangerous, no..."
