Ever since she heard that she had fallen into a brothel, Pang Rou has been in shock. She has been in poor health since childhood and was therefore raised in the palm of her family's hand. The biggest difficulty she had encountered in the past was that her cough had worsened today and she had to change the doctor's medicine.
But now, she was inexplicably framed and sent to a brothel.
What kind of place was this? To her, it was like hell. She hid in the box and held Aqiu's hand tightly. Tears as big as beans fell on the back of her hand. Because she was too nervous, her fingernails dug into Aqiu's palm and Aqiu's hand was broken by her.
But Aqiu just frowned in pain, then hurriedly patted her hands gently, got out of the box, turned around and supported Pang Rou, who was still absent-minded.
Pang Rou was still in a daze. When she came out, she accidentally swayed and lost her balance, and bumped into Yanzhi who was still in front of the window.
Yanzhi was startled, turned around and saw her like this, and felt sorry for her, so she could only say in a bad tone: "I say, young lady, you have fallen to this place, and you may not be able to see the sun tomorrow! Cheer up, otherwise you won't tell me, and don't let me get in trouble!"
Her mistake was that she just helped to cover up for these two people. If those people knew that she was covering up for these two girls, she would be beaten severely.
Pang Rou shuddered and came to her senses. She reacted belatedly and finally couldn't help covering her face and crying.
Fortunately, she finally listened to Yanzhi's words. Although she was crying uncontrollably, she still controlled the volume and just kept shaking her shoulders.
Looking so pitiful, Yanzhi sighed: "Don't cry, it's useless to cry to death now that you've fallen into this state."
She listened to the commotion outside and felt a little nervous. She simply asked the two of them to sit down and said, "Who are you? I have never seen such a big commotion in the market. Even when our courtesan shouted that she wanted to jump off the roof, it didn't alarm so many people. Aren't you from somewhere?"
Thinking of what Aqiu had just said about the official's daughter, Yanzhi was half-believing and half-doubting.
Pang Rou was speechless, so A Qiu had to explain hurriedly and begged Yanzhi to let them hide for a while.
It’s better to hide as long as you can. If you really get out, I’m afraid you will lose your life.
Yanzhi was about to speak when she heard a louder noise coming from outside. She was startled and turned around, asking them to hide. She opened the door and went out.
As soon as she went out, she saw a number of familiar sisters. She walked over and asked hurriedly, "What's going on? Why is there such a big commotion?"
The girls all had panicked looks on their faces. Some of them who were close to Yanzhi hurriedly pulled him aside and said, "Don't say anything yet. I don't know if the abbey owner has alarmed some important person. We have government officials here!"
Someone from the government
Yanzhi was shocked. Their monastery owner was quite powerful and had always been involved in both legal and illegal activities. Because of this, many people, even those from good families, were sold here. The monastery owner was unscrupulous and was not afraid of the government's investigation at all.
Yanzhi has been here for more than ten years, and this is the first time that the government has come to her door.
She immediately thought of the two girls in her room.
Just now they said they were government officials. Could it be that they were not lying
After she was distracted for a while, she was suddenly grabbed by the sisters around her: "Why are you distracted? Hurry up and catch up. They said we should gather in a wide area. They want to ask you something. Don't cause trouble. I saw Liutou next to my mother being beaten just now."
Liutou is the madam's godson, working as a pimp in Hongxiufang. He likes to take advantage of the girls and is a stingy person. All the girls in the brothel dislike him. When Yanzhi heard that he was beaten, she snorted.
Just as she was talking about Liu Tou, she spotted Liu Tou lying half-dead beside the rockery and immediately let out a sigh.
Su Rong had already looked around at everyone, his eyes fixed on the madam who had just been dragged downstairs. He narrowed his eyes and asked in a cold voice, "I'll ask again, where is the person?"
The madam was so frightened that her legs were shaking. As someone who made a living by looking at other people's faces, she could better distinguish between people's kindness and malice. Now seeing Su Rong like this, she knew what the problem was without anyone telling her, and she took a step back trembling.
Su Rong looked at her expressionlessly. If the coldness in his eyes could kill people, the madam would have died ten times by now. He asked in a deep voice, "I'll ask again, where is the person?"
The madam's mind was in a mess. Just a moment ago, they were mobilizing a large force to find two lambs to be slaughtered, but now the prey had become herself. The gap was too big and she didn't know how to accept it for a moment.
Su Rong, however, had no patience. In fact, the overall situation had been decided, but there were still these maggots who came out to disgust people and frame his sister. His anger had already reached its peak. When he saw that the madam was reluctant to speak, he sneered and winked at Qing Kun.
Qingkun immediately hit the madam on the knee with the knife in his hand.
This was extremely painful. The old procuress couldn't help but scream in pain. She squatted on the ground, hugged her knees and sweated profusely.
Su Rong looked at her coldly: "If you don't tell me, your leg will be gone."
The madam had no doubt that he could really do such a thing, and immediately pointed upstairs with trembling hands: "Upstairs! Upstairs!"
She was talking about Boss Ma and the others who were upstairs.
Before entering Hongxiufang, these people had already surrounded all the exits of Hongxiufang. As soon as Boss Ma got into trouble, he wanted to run away, but it was not so easy to get away, so he could only stay in the secret room upstairs.
Su Rong immediately turned around and took his people upstairs.
The madam cried so much that her makeup was smudged, and her face was covered with red and white stains. She looked extremely miserable.
Yanzhi clenched her fists carefully - she felt more and more that the two people just now were really powerful.
If it's really them...
Before Yanzhi could react, there was a sound of fierce fighting coming from upstairs. Someone even fell out from the upstairs and landed on the rocks of the rockery. He struggled for a while and then stopped moving.
The girls in Hongxiufang had never seen such a scene before, and they all cried out in fear.
Only after the officers and soldiers repeatedly scolded them did they suppress their fear and remain standing where they were.
At this time, A Qiu in the room was also comforting Pang Rou: "Miss Pang, don't worry, our girl is very powerful. We have to find a way to survive first, so that we can wait for our girl to come. She will definitely come to find us!"
Pang Rou looked at her in a daze.
