Chapter 550 No Flaws
"Is what she said true or false?" Li Rongsen asked Master Qian while looking at him.
"Of course it's fake. Look at my office study. There is only a table and two chairs. If I really wanted to rob someone, I would dress up nicely. Why would I put myself in such a difficult position?" Master Qian answered him calmly.
Li Rongsen looked around and indeed could not find any mistakes.
The girl was also confused and said, "I didn't lie."
"Did you see with your own eyes that it was Master Qian who robbed other people's land and money?" Someone next to Master Qian began to question the girl.
The girl naturally didn't see it, she said: "Everyone says so."
"So, this is just your own speculation, without any real evidence. Aren't you just accusing others?" The man smiled coldly.
Master Qian said to Li Rongsen, "Mr. Li, I think this matter needs to be thoroughly investigated. It not only concerns my reputation, but also the reputation of Xicheng."
"That's right, that's exactly what I meant." Li Rongsen nodded. He had no evidence at the moment and it was difficult for him to do anything to Master Qian, but he always remained suspicious of him.
Master Qian politely asked Li Rongsen, "Mr. Li, why did you come to the city today? What advice do you have?"
"I just came to take a look, there's nothing else." Li Rongsen thought that he would not tell the truth to him, so he might as well investigate secretly.
"In that case, Mr. Li, I will make preparations for what you want to see." Master Qian still looked very respectful.
Li Rongsen couldn't think of anything to see, so he said, "Well, I'll just wander around."
"Okay, I'll accompany you to have a look around." Master Qian said as he gestured for Li Rongsen to follow him, and An Yan also followed behind them, looking around from time to time.
The decorations in the city were all ordinary, no different from the previous time. There was nothing unusual to see, and there were no servants either, which was a bit strange.
Li Rongsen asked, "How come there isn't a single servant in this huge place?"
"I'm here to work, not to enjoy myself. I don't need any servants to serve me, so let those who should be dismissed go. Firstly, it can save some money, and secondly, it will be quiet." Master Qian said in an upright manner.
An Yan neither doubted nor believed this lawyer. She just observed the movements around her. Sure enough, there were no maids, and only a few guards came over. Apart from them, there were no other servants.
Li Rongsen said, "There's no need to save on things that shouldn't be saved. This little money isn't bad, it can actually help a few more people have something to eat, isn't that good?"
Master Qian responded immediately, saying, "Mr. Li thinks long-term. I am short-sighted and only think about the present."
"You're too modest." Li Rongsen said without any emotion.
The man who was next to the master just now had already left the study with the girl.
The girl thought he would let her go, but she found that the man took her to the most remote place in the city. She was a little scared and said, "Where are you taking me? I'm not going anywhere. I want to go home. Let me go home."
"Are you scared now? Why weren't you scared when you were talking nonsense just now?" The man showed no mercy to the girl and pulled her arm so hard that it hurt.
The girl didn't want to go with him, but she couldn't resist his force. She said, "I'm just telling the truth."
"Telling the truth will cost you a price." The man's face began to turn ferocious. He increased the strength in his hands and dragged the girl forward faster.
"I was wrong, isn't it? Please don't kill me, I beg you!" The girl was almost crying. She thought her life was in danger and she only hated herself for not following those two people.
But the man didn't care at all. He took her to a yard and threw her in. Then he ordered the guards to close the door and left.
"Let me out, don't leave!" the girl shouted and knocked on the door.
"What are you shouting about?" Three old women came out of the house, and one of them shouted at her.
Another asked her, "What's your name?"
The girl turned around to look, slowly stood up from the ground, and said, "What is this place? What are you doing?"
"This is the place for examination. The girl who passes the examination will be able to become Mr. Qian's wife and enjoy wealth and glory from then on." An old woman explained to her with a look of disgust on her face.
"I don't want to be a lady. I want to go home." The girl refused.
One of the women rushed forward, slapped her twice in the face, and spat in her direction, saying, "Now that you're here, behave yourself, or we'll beat you to death."
"What's your name?" another maid asked her.
"Chunmei." The girl answered in a trembling voice, covering her face with her hands, not daring to shout anymore.
"Come with us." One of the maids grabbed her hand and led her into the house.
When Chunmei walked into the house, she found many girls squatting against the wall, looking unconscious. She walked into an inner room and found three girls having their wrists cut. This made her even more frightened and she asked, "What are you doing to them?"
"You'll know soon." The old women didn't care about her question at all.
Chunmei was taken into the innermost room. An old man was sitting inside. He looked up and then picked up a needle on the table and said, "Come on, show me your arm so I can see it."
"What are you doing?" Chunmei refused, but she couldn't resist the strength of the old women. She had rolled up her sleeves, revealing her snow-white arms.
The old man inserted a long needle into her, causing Chunmei to scream in pain.
"Okay, okay, I finally found her. It's her, it's her!" The old man had already pulled out the long needle and found that it was emitting a red light. He said, "Not bad, not bad. She is the best match for Master. She is the candidate for the wife."
Chunmei looked confused, not understanding what this meant at all, and said, "I don't want to be a lady, let me go back."
"You really don't know how to enjoy your life. What's wrong with being a lady? You want to be a superior person from now on. How stupid." One of the old women sneered at her disdainfully.
Chunmei frowned and said, "I just want to go home."
Another woman asked the old man, "You are not mistaken, are you?"
"Of course. Her blood alone is enough for the blood of ten people over there. Master will definitely be happy, and I will reward you handsomely." The old man whispered to the old woman.
Chunmei was frightened and panicked, not knowing what to do, but the old women held her even tighter, fearing that she would escape.
At this time, a man came from outside and said, "Master Zhang, Mr. Li has gone back. Has the girl over there been found?"
"Yes, a treasure has just arrived." Master Zhang said with a smile, pointing at Chunmei, and said, "Take her to wash first, and then you can invite Master to enjoy her at noon."
Chunmei was therefore carried out of the yard by two maids, and was stuffed into a sedan chair, which was then carried away by four strong men.
On the other side, Li Rongsen and An Yan did leave the city, but they did not go far. They just wanted to paralyze Master Qian's group and still stood at the foot of the wall.
Li Rongsen said, "We can't find any evidence, and we can't do anything to him, but I don't believe him."
"We need to go into the city again." An Yan said to him.
