Xiao Ling'er and Gu Yunting's expressions turned gloomy. This Yangcheng was simply a den of bandits.
Fortunately, it was she and Gu Yunting who came this time, otherwise, even if more imperial envoys came, they would probably not be able to shake these local tyrants in the slightest.
The officials, soldiers, and merchants of the entire Yangcheng all colluded with each other, weaving a huge network of relationships.
They are involved with each other and share interests, creating an intricate and complex situation.
"I've seen your record of Mr. Liu. Please tell me in detail about his business." Xiao Ling'er stopped the previous topic and asked another one.
Hatred flashed in Ye Wanwan's eyes, and she took a deep breath and replied, "Mr. Liu's business is to collect women and children from all over the place.
They trained these young and beautiful women on how to seduce men, and then arranged them into the homes of officials of all ranks.
Not only does she have to accompany her master in bed, she also has to entertain guests from outside.”
Gu Yunting and Xiao Ling'er's expressions turned even uglier. Xiao Ling'er asked again, "What are the arrangements for those children?"
Ye Wanwan's eyes turned to anger, "Beast...some beasts just like children...
Every year, many children are sent away and then disappear inexplicably. I know they have been tortured to death by those beasts."
When Ye Wanwan said this, her body trembled a little and her voice became a little hoarse.
"Why do you know it so clearly?" Gu Yunting asked back.
"Because I was one of the children sent out. Just because I looked good and was smart and well-behaved, those beasts thought I was still useful and showed mercy to me." When Ye Wanwan said this, tears fell down her face.
Xiao Linger pulled Ye Wanwan over, let her lean on her shoulder, patted her back and comforted her: "It's okay, it's all over!"
"Girl, I want to stay with you. I want to rescue those trapped women and children." Ye Wanwan suddenly looked up at Xiao Ling'er and said firmly.
"Okay, let's rescue those women and children together." Xiao Ling'er promised.
Gu Yunting didn't have time to care about Ye Wanwan leaning in Gu Linger's arms. His heart was filled with deep anger.
Not to mention Xiao Ling'er, a raging rage burned in her heart, and she wanted to make those beasts die a miserable death.
That night, at mealtime (8 p.m.), shortly after dark.
The general suddenly felt dizzy, then stepped out of hiding like a puppet and shouted, "Everyone, listen up! Retreat back to the city immediately."
"Boss, what happened? Why did they retreat suddenly?" a military leader asked in confusion.
"If I say retreat, then retreat immediately." The general ordered again.
"Yes!" Everyone quickly retreated into the city.
Then, the soldiers who entered the city fell to the ground one after another, and soon, two thousand soldiers fell to the ground.
Gu Yunting and Ye Wanwan were busy with the thick ropes, tying them up tightly one by one.
There was no other way. They had no one available now, so they could only rely on the two of them to tie them up one by one.
Xiao Ling'er followed the map marked by Ye Wanwan and came to Liu's house quietly.
The Liu Mansion was even more luxurious than the county magistrate's house. Two of the pillars were inlaid with gold.
These people are extremely arrogant and have no fear of being tracked down. They openly display their extravagant lifestyle. This chapter has been read (please click on the next chapter to continue reading!)
