Chapter 524 Ruthless Domestic Violence
Linjiang City.

A rather large mansion located in the city is the residence of the Lou family, a prominent family in the south of the Yangtze River.

In a large courtyard, a young man was whipping a young woman with a whip.

I saw that the young woman was covered with whip marks all over her body, and her face was also bloodstained, which looked very scary.

Around the courtyard, there are some maids and women who can only watch from a distance and dare not approach at all.

I saw this young man scolding while beating:

"Make you lazy, make you play tricks... make you disobedient, kill you bitch..."

And this young woman, dressed in exquisite attire, had already been whipped to the point of disfigurement.

When she raised her head, she realized that this young woman was none other than Gao Ruoning, the second lady of the Gao family who married Jiangnan from the capital!
And it was her husband Lou Hui who whipped her!
Gao Ruoning endured the pain, bit his lip, and let Lou Hui beat and insult him, as if he had become numb.

After a while, Lou Hui seemed to be tired, so he put down his whip, looked at Gao Ruoning viciously and said:
"It's a good deal for you today, but if you dare to be so lazy tomorrow, see how I beat you to death, you useless bitch!"

After finishing speaking, Lou Hui walked out of the courtyard without knowing where he went.

After Lou Hui left, Xiaoling, Gao Ruoning's dowry maid, dared to come over and helped Gao Ruoqian into the house.

I saw Xiaoling supporting Gao Ruoning, crying and saying:

"Miss, how can my uncle beat you like this? When I was in the mansion, the master and wife always held you in the palm of their hands, but now...now..."

Gao Ruoning showed a bit of misery, and let Xiaoling support him to sit on the chair. After a long time, he gritted his teeth and said:
"It's my fault that I was blind. When I first heard that he was a famous talent in the south of the Yangtze River, I picked him without even thinking about it. How could I know that he..."

Speaking of Gao Ruoning, she shed two lines of clear tears. Only she can appreciate the feeling in it!

Lou Hui originally had lofty ambitions, but Ying Tianfu Jieyuan in high school gained a great reputation.

But who knows, last year when he went to the capital to participate in the examination, he happened to encounter a major fraud case, which happened to affect Lou Hui.

Not only the honor of Juren was cut off, but he was also banned from entering the examination room for life. For Lou Hui, this was like a huge blow from the sky!
When he was in the capital, Lou Hui was fine, but once he returned to Linjiang City, Lou Hui completely exposed his true nature.

First he got drunk with wine, got so drunk, and didn't return all night, there was another prodigal in Linjiang City.

For Lou Hui, although he can't do scientific research, considering how rich the Lou family is, he doesn't have to do anything to be a rich man for a lifetime.

But Lou Hui didn't think so. After a period of sinking, he only felt hopeless in this life, and began to become very irritable.

Whenever something goes wrong, he would quarrel and beat people at every turn. At this moment, even his first wife Gao Ruoning was not spared and was brutally beaten.

At first Gao Ruoning thought that Lou Hui just lost his temper, and it would be better after a while, but who knew that the more she tolerated, the more unscrupulous Lou Hui became.

"Miss, take a look, this...how can I do it, why don't miss write a letter back to the capital, after the master and wife hear it, they will definitely not let him go!"

The servant girl, Xiao Ling, said sadly while administering medicine to Gao Ruoning.

After hearing this, Gao Ruoning gritted his teeth and shook his head:
"Don't...if you write a letter, I...I'm afraid I will never be the daughter-in-law of the Lou family again!"

These words made Xiao Ling cry out:
"Woo... miss, what else is there to do with this daughter-in-law, this Lou Hui didn't regard miss as a daughter-in-law at all, he is not a man..."

Before she finished speaking, she saw a maid coming outside, and she came to Gao Ruoning with a cold face and said:

"Young mistress, my wife sent me to ask, what happened this early in the morning? What made the young master so unhappy?"

"Besides, my wife also said, it's already high in the sun, why haven't you seen the young mistress to say hello?"

After hearing this, Gao Ruoning endured the pain, asked Xiaoling to change her clothes, and staggered towards Lou's main courtyard.

……

……

Guangling City.

Located in the government office in the east of the city, Gao Pan is listening to Gao Ming's briefing at the moment.

It was already the beginning of April at this time, and it had been almost a month since Gao Pan took over as the magistrate of Guangling Prefecture. Under Gao Ming's laying, the people from the intelligence office began to operate in Guangling City and Linjiang City.

In the past month, Gao Ming has naturally obtained a lot of information, the most important of which is who is standing behind the 'Guangling Skinny Horse' that Gao Pan wants to know.

When Gao Pan brought Luoying back to Guangling City earlier, Xie Yujun and the others were already waiting for Gao Pan in the government office.

After handing over from the previous prefect, Gao Pan officially assumed the post of prefect of Guangling.

During this month, Gao Pan was only getting familiar with the government affairs, and he was not in a hurry to do anything, just like Guangling Mansion had not changed its magistrate, which surprised many people.

After all, there are three fires for a new official to take office. As soon as Gao Pan is such a young magistrate, shouldn't he start to show his authority vigorously and resolutely?
But in the past month, many people have been very surprised. He is so high-profile and low-key that people almost ignore his existence.

During this period, apart from writing a letter to impeach Yuan Fangjun, the Jiangnan garrison general, Gao Pan never submitted a memorial, and stayed in the government office at three o'clock and one line every day to familiarize himself with government affairs.

This caused a lot of rumors to spread in the market, only saying that Gao Pan, the young magistrate, was just a fake trick, and he didn't even dare to come out of the government office, so he seemed to be a weak and incompetent magistrate.

As a result, the prestige of the government office was also affected, and many people began to sneak around in the city and do things that violated the law.

It also made Guangling Mansion Tuiguan and Taijiang County Magistrate attached to Guo Guangling Mansion miserable. It is only said that there are more and more lawless people in Guangling Mansion City recently.

As for these, Gao Pan just watched them, and didn't give any instructions. He was waiting for Gao Ming to arrange all the personnel, and then began to collect information.

As Gao Pan expected, the interest groups behind the 'Guangling Thin Horse' are all wealthy businessmen in Jiangnan.

The richest among them is the salt merchant. This sale of salt is a lucrative business. As long as you can get the salt and resell it, at least double the return, let alone sell it to remote inland places. Ten times the return.

The salt merchant in Gao Ming's information mentioned Lou's family, so Gao Pan naturally knew that Lou's family was the one Gao Ruoning married to.

Therefore, Gao Pan specially asked Gao Ming to investigate Lou's family to the bottom, and obtained information about Gao Ruoning's domestic violence, which shocked Gao Pan instantly.

Lou Hui dared to beat Gao Ruoning, but Gao Ruoning didn't dare to ask his family for help, which made it difficult for Gao Pan to understand, and he was also thinking about what Gao Ruoning was thinking!
