Zhumen Hangui

Chapter 503
Seeing that she was no longer afraid, Su Yizhao let go of An Tao's mouth.

"Let me ask you, who is the man who came to see you just now?" Su Yizhao asked in a deep voice.

An Tao stared at the silver ticket with glowing eyes, "Oh! I have so many customers a day, how do I know who you are talking about?"

The guard immediately put the long sword in his hand on An Tao's neck again, "I don't think I will give you a little pain, and you will not be honest."

An Tao swallowed immediately, and then smiled flatteringly, "Oh! My lords, which one are you talking about? You have to give me a name!"

"What about the man who just left your room? You won't tell me that you forgot who he is so quickly, right?"

The fifth prince snorted coldly, and slapped the table with a fierce look on his face.

An Tao's face froze, and then she laughed again, "Oh! Are you talking about the master just now? That master didn't like my family, so he left!"

"He will come to Qinlou to look for you more than 20 days a month, and he said he would redeem you. You said he doesn't like you?" The fifth prince sneered.

An Tao smiled embarrassingly, "You've heard all about it here, why are you still asking about my slave's family?"

"Of course I have other questions to ask you!" The fifth prince tapped the table with his finger, and the guard immediately moved the long sword closer.

An Tao only felt that her skin had been scratched by the cold sword, and it hurt a little, but she didn't dare to move, these people were not kind.

"Apart from his house in Nancheng, does he have other houses? Have you ever told you about him?"

"There is a second yard in the outskirts of Xicheng. They said that after I was redeemed, they would let me live in that yard."

An Tao stroked her long hair, her voice soft.

"Have you been to that courtyard?" the Fifth Prince asked.

"I've been there once, and he took me there."

An Tao smiled again, and then said: "You two young masters! You are delaying my business!"

As she spoke, she looked at the bank note in Su Yizhao's hand with anticipation.

"Did he tell you about his errand? As long as your news is useful to us, the bank note in her hand will be yours."

The fifth prince pointed to the bank note in Su Yizhao's hand, and Su Yizhao glanced at him. The fifth prince was indeed a miser.

An Tao's eyes twinkled, "He never talks to my servants about his errands."

"It seems that you don't want rewards, and you don't want to spare your own life." The fifth prince put the tea bowl on the table and snorted coldly.

An Tao immediately shuddered, "Once he was drunk, I only heard him talking nonsense. He said he didn't want to continue anymore, and he would save enough money right away. After a while, he will Redeem me and take me out of the capital."

Su Yizhao immediately asked, "What else did you hear?"

"He was a little manic and a little nervous at the time, as if he was saying that someone was going to kill him, he had to be careful, that's all."

An Tao recalled it carefully, then shook her head and said.

"You said he bought a house in Xicheng, but he wanted to take you away? Isn't that contradictory?" Su Yizhao questioned.

"Before he said that he would take me to live in the capital, but last month he changed his mind and insisted on taking me out of the capital."

An Tao smiled wryly, "I am a prostitute, if I can find a home, I will be happy. He treats me well, and I am willing to leave with him."

"Did he say when he would take you away?" Su Yizhao continued to ask.

"He said he hasn't raised enough money yet, but it's coming soon." An Tao's eyes suddenly dimmed.

Su Yizhao was silent for a moment, then gave the banknote to An Tao.

"How much money do you need to redeem yourself?" Su Yizhao asked suddenly.

"Mother Qin refused to let me go at first, but later she agreed, but the redemption cost is 2000 taels."

so much?Su Yizhao frowned, it was clear that he didn't want to let An Tao go.

Su Yizhao looked at An Tao again, this woman had almond eyes and peach cheeks, good looks, good figure, and a certain style.

In Qin's mother's eyes, it should be a cash cow, right?
"That house, do you still remember the place? Take us there!" The fifth prince ordered coldly, but An Tao hesitated.

"If you want to save his life, then do as we say."

Su Yizhao looked at An Tao, afraid that Zheng Shounian would be pushed out as a scapegoat, or murdered to silence him, so he had to find a way to find out who was behind the scenes before those people did it.

Xu Su Yizhao looked serious, so An Tao nodded.

The fifth prince signaled the guards to knock An Tao unconscious with his eyes, and then tied her up.

"After this matter is over, you should let her go! Redeem her and live a normal life. You are a miserable person."

Su Yizhao sighed, she knew that the fifth prince was afraid that An Tao would leak the news.

"She is a weak woman, how can she live? Dayun Dynasty does not allow women to open a household, she has nowhere to go." The fifth prince said calmly, just stating.

Su Yizhao was angry in his heart, "Then how can a woman live without her parents and brothers? Can she only rely on her clan or uncle?"

"Yes! The household registration must be transferred to the family with the head of the household. This is a law formulated by the court!" The fifth prince nodded.

Bullshit law!Su Yizhao was almost about to curse.

These men were all born to women, but women are not even qualified to be the head of the household.

No wonder Bi Yu wanted to dress up the original owner as a boy, firstly for the sake of anonymity, so as not to arouse suspicion, and secondly for household registration, right?

"It doesn't matter if you buy a child and set up a household. There is always a way. At any rate, you can take advantage of them, shouldn't you?" Su Yizhao snorted coldly.

The fifth prince saw that Su Yizhao's expression was not good, so he nodded quickly, "Yes! I've made a note of it, and I will do it accordingly."

Only then did Su Yizhao ease his expression, and then he gave instructions to the attendant, "You go back to the house and let me know, just tell me that I have something to do today, and I have to go back to the house later."

After the servant took the order to go out, the Fifth Prince laughed.

"You still don't trust me? I will definitely hand over everything in the yard to you."

"I will arrest Zheng Shounian tonight. Since he also knows that he is going to be framed, he will probably tell the whole story."

Su Yizhao's face was serious, she was afraid that it would be too late to save her!
The full moon hangs high in the night sky, and the village near the city is silent.

The wheels of the carriage rolled over the yellow dirt road, which was very clear in the silent night.

"Are you sure it's here?" Fifth Prince asked.

An Tao nodded, her mouth was still stuffed with a rag, and her body was tied behind her back. After being lifted up by the guards, she glanced outside the carriage and nodded again for confirmation.

The moonlight is very bright tonight, and the road in the village is very clearly illuminated.

"You go in first to check!" The fifth prince ordered people to go in first to avoid any abnormalities.

"Zheng Shounian wasn't in his house in the south of the city, and he didn't even go to the yamen. If he wasn't here, I'm afraid it would be a disaster."

The fifth prince glanced at the courtyard, intending to explore it, but turned his head to look at Su Yizhao, and gave up.
