Su Qiuyue found a dirty and smelly rag and stuffed it into Aunt Gui's mouth.

At this time, someone outside the door reported: "Sir, there is a team of officers calling the door. Please come out and take a look." Zhu Yinan told Chang Baiqing next to him to keep an eye on Aunt Gui, and he and Su Qiuyue came to the yard.

The courtyard door has been kicked open, and a dozen officials armed with broadswords walked in arrogantly. "I heard that someone is here to cause trouble. Come and capture it quickly." The leading officer ordered.

Zhu Yinan raised his eyebrows and asked, "Who sent you?"

The leader of the official mission said proudly: "We are working under Mr. Fu Yin. For the sake of the stability of the capital, we will arrest you crazy people today."

"At the root of the imperial city, at the feet of the emperor, mere officials want to arrest people at will. Who gives you the right?" Zhu Yinan said while flashing the token in his hand.

As soon as the officers saw the token, their expressions changed and they knelt down with a plop: "The villain deserves to die. It turns out to be the deputy commander. You don't remember the villain's fault. You guys, leave now." After saying this, the officer said To retreat.

Zhu Yinan said coldly: "Go back and tell you adults, don't come into Aunt Gui's troubled waters, otherwise don't blame me for being rude." The officials kowtowed and retreated on their knees.

A dead man in black came to report: "Sir, there are thirteen people in the house, seven children, three young women, and two weak men. We also found a dying woman in the Zen room."

Su Qiuyue knew that the dying woman must be Qiao Le, so she hurried to the woodshed. Su Qiuyue opened the door, and a fishy smell mixed with musty smell hit her face, and she couldn't help but feel sick.

The woodshed was dark, and the beams were covered with spider webs. Lying on the ground in the room was a thin woman with tattered clothes and blood stains all over her body. The woman closed her eyes tightly, her face was pale, and if her chest hadn't been rising and falling slightly, she would have been no different from a dead person.

Su Qiuyue quickly leaned down and felt Qiao Le's breath. Fortunately, she was still breathing, and Su Qiuyue's tense heart finally relaxed. But when she saw the scars all over Qiao Le's body, tears couldn't help but burst into her eyes.

There was no good skin left on Qiao Le's body. It was covered with whip marks of various sizes, some of which were scabbed, and some of which had festered. A few flies were crawling around on the wounds. Su Qiuyue cried and said: "Qiao Le, wake up quickly. I will take you out of here. No one will bully you again in the future. Wake up quickly."

Seeing Qiao Le's miserable appearance, Zhu Yinan also looked angry. He ordered the man in black: "Go to the capital immediately and invite the best doctor in the capital."

After a long time, a doctor carrying a medicine box rushed over. He frowned when he saw Qiao Le's injury: "Poor girl, who did it so cruelly."

When Su Qiuyue saw the doctor coming, she quickly wiped her tears and said with a tearful voice: "Doctor, you must save her. No matter how much money you spend, you must make her better."

The doctor first asked people to lift Qiao Le to the bed in the main room, and then began to check Qiao Le's injuries.

After checking for a while, the doctor said: "Fortunately, this girl only had a skin injury. She took good care of herself with medicine. After a while, scabs will form. Then she can use some muscle-building and scar-removing medicine. Although her skin will not be able to return to its previous state." She looks like this, but it doesn’t matter. It’s just that the girl has external injuries, and she doesn’t have to eat. Her vitality is damaged, and she has to stay in bed for a few months and take tonics every day to restore her vitality.”

When Su Qiuyue heard what the doctor said, she felt a little more relaxed: "I will definitely raise her until she is white and fat." Su Qiuyue remembered that on the day of her escape, it was Qiao Le who helped her break open the strong man who was holding him captive. He was able to escape with his hands. If it weren't for letting him go, Qiao Le wouldn't be tortured like this by Aunt Gui.

Thinking of this, Su Qiuyue felt a little more guilty about Qiao Le and hated Aunt Gui a little deeper.

Seeing that Qiao Le was still awake, Su Qiuyue came to the yard. She still had some things to deal with.

In the yard, more than a dozen people were hiding timidly in the corner. The children all had dirty faces, were dark and thin, and their clothes were in tatters. Only their eyes were black and white.

Su Qiuyue walked up to a child. She wanted to touch the child's head, but the child ran away in fear.

Su Qiuyue sighed, put on a smile, and said softly: "Child, don't be afraid, I'm here to help you, why are you here?"

Although there was fear in the child's eyes, his expression was more relaxed. He said solemnly: "I was sold here by my father. My mother is seriously ill and the family can't get rid of the trouble. I have three younger brothers and sisters who are all going to die." I was starving to death, so my father sold me.”

Another child said: "My father sold me here. My father likes to gamble and loses everything in the house. I hate my father so much." Everyone started talking in a confused voice. What happened to them.

At this time, a girl plopped down and knelt down towards Su Qiuyue: "Girl, please save me. I fled to the capital. I got separated from my parents on the way. I met a human trafficker on the way. I was sold to Aunt Gui. This Aunt Gui is so evil that she wants to sell me to a brothel. Girl, I beg you, as long as you let me out of this devil's cave, I will work hard to repay you."

Seeing the girl kneeling down, everyone knelt down with a plop, "Girl, please help us, please help us..."

Su Qiuyue helped them up one by one, and comforted them: "Don't worry, I will teach you how to get out of the wolf den." Then everyone stood up and thanked them repeatedly.

Su Qiuyue walked to Zhu Yinan and said: "Master Zhu, please help them. These children are so pitiful. If the family is in trouble, give them some money and let them go home. If their parents are bastards, Then send them to the shantang. If Mr. Zhu comes forward and asks the people of the shantang to take good care of them, their life will be better."

Zhu Yinan said: "You are very thoughtful."

"And these two girls and the young man, can you arrange better errands for them?" Su Qiuyue blinked and looked at Zhu Yinan with pleading eyes.

Zhu Yinan looked sideways at Su Qiuyue and said, "Okay, but..."

"Just what? Money is not an issue. You can help me advance the money you spend on them. I will pay it back to you when the prime minister pays me my salary."

"What's the salary?"

"A salary is a salary. Naturally, I need to be paid when I help the prime minister do things."

"That's called a salary."

"Aren't they all the same? In short, it's just how much money you spend, and I will pay you back when the time comes."

Zhu Yinan could only wave his hands and said: "Okay, I will definitely arrange these people properly, but how are you going to deal with Aunt Gui? I didn't expect that Aunt Gui has so many things behind her. If it's not handled well, it may cause unnecessary trouble. "

Su Qiuyue touched her nose and said, "I have thought of a good place. Mr. Zhu, which is the largest brothel in the capital?"

Zhu Yinan asked doubtfully: "Why do you ask this?"

"Don't worry about it for now, just tell me which brothel is the biggest."

Zhu Yinan frowned and said, "I'm not sure about this." Su Qiuyue raised her eyebrows and looked at him with an expression of disbelief.

Zhu Yinan ignored her and only asked the dead men in black beside him. Wu Baiqing shook his head and said that he didn't know, but there were several young dead men behind him who showed meaningful smiles. One of the dead men in black said: "Report to the young master, The largest brothel in the capital is Lixiangyuan. The girls there are all beautiful and their kung fu is excellent..."

Before the young man finished speaking, Wu Baiqing glared at him, and the young man had to shut up.

"Chang Baiqing, ask a few people to put Aunt Gui in the sedan, and we will go to Lixiangyuan."

Zhu Yinan could only say: "Okay, go to Lixiangyuan, I want to see what you are going to do."

At this time, Su Qiuyue saw an old man standing in the corner. She looked closely and saw that it was Old Cao who rescued her that day. Lao Caotou turned pale and stood tremblingly in the corner, his head lowered and silent.

When Su Qiuyue saw Old Cao Tou, she felt mixed emotions in her heart. She was saved by him, but it was he who gave her to Aunt Gui.

Su Qiuyue walked to Old Cao Tou, and Old Cao Tou said hurriedly: "Girl, please spare the little old man."

Su Qiuyue said to Lao Cao Tou: "You saved my life, and the grudges between us have been settled. From now on, we will be good people." Lao Cao Tou nodded in agreement.

After dealing with all this, Su Qiuyue suddenly felt that her depression was gone, and she even felt that her image had become taller.
