Chapter 186
Chapter 186
No matter in which world, if a woman is violated and suffers such inhuman torture, the rest of her life will be unbearable.
What's more -
This world treats women more harshly.
Qing Fei nodded, "Young Madam, the madam is very cruel. Fortunately, I met a conscientious matchmaker who didn't want to send me to the brothel. Otherwise, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to escape."
She and Qingfang were both good-looking. Although she was a little old, she could still be sent to a low-class brothel.
Song Guanzhou felt a little relieved when he heard this.
"From what my eldest sister-in-law said, my cousin is about 50% like me. It's not that I'm conceited. If she looked like that, I'm afraid most brothel owners wouldn't be willing to just find a gigolo to take her virginity. But I'm also afraid of encountering some cruel brothel owners. After all..., people's hearts are unpredictable."
Song Guanzhou comforted himself for a while and told him not to worry.
As the younger brother of the Crown Princess, he can certainly handle this task. Besides, Pei An is in the dark, so she can go to Doctor Sun's house and see Xu Lingqiao when it is dawn.
But after a while, he began to worry. No one in Qingmei Garden was a good person. It was a real place of brothels. If he judged it by the morals of civilized times, he would be doomed to be disappointed.
She was confused and became more and more anxious.
Rendong tried to comfort him in a low voice, but was interrupted by Song Guanzhou raising his hand.
Looking out the window, in the pitch black, the rain was still hitting the eaves and tiles. The heavy rain brought a chill inside and outside the house. The charcoal basin was about to go out, and Qingfang added a few more pieces of charcoal.
Just as dawn was about to break and the heavy rain subsided, the sound of a door opening creaked in the courtyard of Shaohua Garden. Mrs. Meng had heard the noise early and went out to greet her.
As soon as Alu stepped onto the veranda, he took off his bamboo hat.
Panting, he asked, "Mrs. Meng, has the young lady gotten up yet?"
"She couldn't sleep since you left, and she's been waiting for your good news. What do you think, cousin..." Alu shook his head, his face was wet with rain, he wiped his eyes, "I'll go in and talk to the young lady."
Before reaching the door, Qingfang opened the door of the main room and waited there.
A'lu walked in, came to the main hall and saw Song Guanzhou, bowed and said, "Madam, the fourth and second young masters asked me to come back first to tell you that things are not going well. The Green Plum Garden has been turned upside down, but there is no trace of the cousin. Erlang and Mrs. Gu from the Green Plum Garden are still in a standoff. Anyway, no matter what, even if the cousin is bought by someone with ulterior motives, we will dig three feet underground to find her!"
"What a jerk! The people were transferred in just one night?"
A'lu shook his head, "She insisted that it was the Second Young Master who slandered her. The Second Young Master went straight to the T-shaped room that Qin Tong mentioned, and found a woman who was tortured half to death. When the Fourth Young Master heard about it, he prepared to report to the Jingzhao Yin at dawn, saying that Qingmei Garden was buying and selling people indiscriminately, and dared to secretly sell the lady of a noble family to this filthy place."
However, the Mu An Law Code said that those who kidnapped people and sold good families as slaves would be sentenced to crucifixion, and the buyer would be demoted one level and sentenced to hard labor of 3,000 miles. Those who kidnapped and sold people as followers would be sentenced to hard labor of 3,000 miles, and the buyer would be demoted one level, sentenced to 80 strokes of the cane, and sentenced to hard labor of 300 miles.
This madam Gu bought in people of unknown origin, and the building is already full of corruption. If Pei An finds another excuse to report to the authorities, I'm afraid Qingmei Garden will be in trouble as well.
Pei An was sure of this and decided to go there at dawn.
In the green plum garden, Qin Qingdong sneered and was dealing with Mrs. Gu.
Mrs. Gu was about thirty-five or thirty-six years old, and was dressed in fancy clothes. She was very different from other brothel madams. She was a brothel owner who was open-minded and very dissolute.
"My dear, you have ruined my banquet today, and now you are trying to fool me, Sanniang, by saying that I secretly have a girl from your class. How is that possible? This is not a place like mine. I don't like those ladies from wealthy families or beautiful girls from ordinary families."
She smelled heavily of makeup, and was shaking her handkerchief, pretending to be aggrieved.
Qin Qingdong is a frequent visitor to this street, but not to Qingmei Garden. Coming here occasionally for a drink is also an engagement that he cannot refuse.
After meeting the madam Gu several times, she was considered to be somewhat respectable.
But today, unlike the embarrassment of being pulled down from the client's bed by Qin Qingdong, Gu Sanniang was also feeling angry.
"Sanniang, you are a capable person with a wide range of knowledge. You should quickly point out the way to the woman you took away from the Dingzi room. I know it is not easy for you to take over Qingmei Garden from your mother and make it to where it is now. Don't ruin everything because of a moment of confusion."
Gu Sanniang has all her hair and hairpins. Although she doesn't put up a sign to receive customers now, she never refuses her regular customers.
Just as they were having fun on the bed, the ordinary young man brought by Qin Qingdong kicked the door and came in.
She was dazed for a moment, until she was pulled off the client by several men with her breasts exposed, and then she screamed, "Who are you, you dare to break into my garden?"
Before she finished her words, the man pulled off her sweat towel, crumpled it into a ball and stuffed it into her mouth.
After being dragged to a quiet room nearby, the men threw her to the ground and ordered her to kneel down. Qin Qingdong was disgusted by her body and had people bring her clothes. Gu Sanniang's face was flushed at this moment. Even if she was very capable, she could not help feeling ashamed and angry when a dozen men in gray clothes stared at her fair body.
He hurriedly put on his clothes and looked up. Wasn't this the Crown Princess' brother?
She wanted to smile shyly and say some sweet words to find out more about Qin Erlang, a playboy in the capital, but Qin Qingdong had a gloomy face and told her the purpose directly.
When she heard Room 10, Gu Sanniang understood what was going on.
She looked up with an innocent look on her face. "Your Excellency has wronged Sanniang. There are only some shabby things in the Dingzi 10th room. This year, several girls have fallen seriously ill and have been idle day by day, so we have no choice but to send them away. The Dingzi 10th room has been empty for a long time--"
"You know it well. Since I'm here to ask for it today, you should just hand it over and everyone can live in peace."
Qin Qingdong looked at her coldly. He originally thought that Gu Sanniang would not obey him after hearing this.
Unexpectedly, this woman turned out to be a tough guy. "What's the difference between your behavior and robbery? Although Sanniang is doing a low-class business, everything has its rules. You came to my house in a hurry and asked me for someone. I don't even know who you are. How can I find you?"
He flatly denied it.
Qin Qingdong sneered, "Since I dare to come to your house, I must know the situation. If you don't want to tell me, then I'll take my time." After that, he ordered his subordinates, "Go check each room for me."
When Gu Sanniang heard this, her face turned pale and she said, "No way!"
"Then where should I send it to?"
Gu Sanniang ignored her and cried, "There are many dignitaries enjoying themselves in the Green Plum Garden tonight. If you ignore me and search every room, how can I do business in the Green Plum Garden in the future?"
