Five years of county magistrate, 100 million catties of grain shocked Li Shimin

Chapter 38 The Influence of the Three Clans in Hedong
The woman came in timidly.

Panic appeared on his face after seeing the room full of instruments of torture.

"Minister Han Shulan, pay my respects to Lord Inspector."

Han Shulan bowed down to Fang Yuanxing.

Her graceful body was trembling slightly.

Her pitiful appearance, coupled with her beauty, made people feel affectionate.

"Han Shulan, have you seen the instruments of torture in the room?"

Fang Yuan said indifferently.

"I saw it."

Han Shulan's voice became trembling.

Looking at the instruments of torture in the room again, his face became even paler.

"You are a pitiful person. I don't want to make things difficult for you. As long as you answer truthfully, I will not torture you."

"Do you know how Ruan Jingjing died?"

Fang Yuan said indifferently.

Ruan Jingjing was another oiran who committed suicide by biting her tongue.

She is quite famous in Yingxiang Tower and even Liaozhou City, and the information is easy to find.

"Minmin girl is not very clear."

Han Shulan lowered her head and said tremblingly.

"Did you see Qin Liangcai being arrested just now?"

"You won't be able to open the Yingxiang Tower. If the things you confessed are useful, I will return the deed to you."

Fang Yuan still said calmly.

In ancient times, women in brothels signed contracts of sale.

Indentured legal obligations made them little more than slaves.

"I, I, I"

Han Shulan's eyes struggled, as if she was struggling.

Fang Yuan frowned, and slapped the table fiercely.

With a bang, Han Shulan was taken aback, and Du Miaoyan and the two were also taken aback.

"Don't force me to torture you!"

Fang Yuan said coldly.

Two jailers outside the interrogation room heard the sound of the table being slapped and came in.

Han Shulan thought she was tortured, her pale face was frightened like a blank sheet of paper.

"I recruit, I recruit, I recruit."

Fang Yuan nodded in satisfaction, and waved his hands to make the two jailers retreat.

Under the combination of grace and power, the little brothel oiran still recruited obediently.

"Ruan Jingjing has a younger sister who is also in Yingxianglou. She is just 12 years old this year. Because Ruan Jingjing is the oiran, she can have two maids to serve her. The oiran's maid does not need to greet guests."

"This time Ruan Jingjing killed herself by biting her tongue, I vaguely heard that person telling her that if she bit her tongue and killed herself, she would restore her sister's free body, and then she would"

Han Shulan sighed.

Because both of them are oirans, they were in front of each other when they were in the team, so Han Shulan heard what that person said.

This is also the reason why Fang Yuan tried Han Shulan from the very beginning.

"Who is that person?"

Fang Yuan said in a deep voice.

The notes he was making also stopped.

"The thug of Yingxianglou, Sun Erwang."

Han Shulan gritted her teeth and whispered.

Qin Liangcai was arrested, otherwise she would not have dared to speak.

"Has Yingxiang Tower ever forced anyone into prostitution?"

Fang Yuan nodded in satisfaction, ordered someone to arrest Sun Erwang, and continued to ask.

"Why not?"

"I'm a case."

Han Shulan looked miserable, and said with red eyes.

"Tell me in detail."

Fang Yuan frowned, said in a deep voice.

Han Shulan seemed to be thinking of something sad, and tears fell down.

She mentioned the past, and talked about a family of three, although poor but happy, but the flood caused the death of both parents, and she was forced to beg for a living.

Then she was discovered by the brothel, forced to sign a one-hundred-dollar deed of selling herself, and became a prostitute. After a few years, the prostitute became an oiran, but the price of selling herself rose from one hundred yuan to one hundred guan.

Fang Yuan nodded, expressionless, and did not comment.

But Du Miaoyan behind them was different, they were full of sympathy and their eyes were moist.

Seeing that the questioning was similar, Fang Yuan asked someone to take Han Shulan back, and was going to ask someone to bring the old bustard here.

But at this moment, Zhang San walked over with a slightly flustered expression.

"Zhou Zun, I'm glad to hear that Pei Yinghua, the Pei family, is here."

Zhang San lowered his voice.

"What's so surprising about him coming?"

Fang Yuan said disapprovingly.

I heard that Mrs. Pei was not around for the brothel, so it was normal for him to come to arrest Qin Liangcai.

After all, outsiders know that Qin Liangcai is a man with the three surnames of Yaxing, that is, the three clans of Hedong.

He arrested people by himself, it is normal for them to ask for people, within Fang Yuan's expectation, it is not worth making a fuss about.

"Not only he is here, but all the shopkeepers of the famous big shops in the city are here, more than 30 people."

Zhang San whispered.

It was not only the people who liked to hear about Pei's family who were shocked, but also the shopkeepers of the big stores in the city.

They are related to the economy and people's livelihood in Liaozhou City, and they all come, even the governor has to give them face.

"Hmph, came to force the palace?"

Fang Yuan snorted coldly and said with a sneer.

"Zhou Zun, leave this to me, you will deal with it first?"

Zhang San suggested.

He couldn't handle a Pei family.

Not to mention the shopkeepers of more than 30 large stores in the city.

"Okay, the record is on it, you can figure it out yourself."

Fang Yuan pondered for a moment, then said calmly.

What I want to know has already been learned from Han Shulan.

For other additions, it would be better if more questions could be asked, but there is no need for Fang Yuan to personally interrogate.

"Yes."

Zhang San should be.

Take over the position of Fang Yuan's interrogation.

Fang Yuan got up to leave, Du Miaoyan and the two strode to follow.

The lobby of the front yard of the Governor's Mansion.

When Fang Yuan arrived, the hall was very noisy.

Among them, only Pei Yinghua sat silently.

The others were standing and talking, as if saying that Fang Yuan was going too far.

After seeing Fang Yuan appearing, the hall slowly became quiet, they stopped discussing and all looked at Fang Yuan.

The atmosphere changed in vain, Du Miaoyan who stood behind Fang Yuan felt tremendous pressure.

"When you see me, don't you know how to salute?"

Fang Yuan glanced at them, and finally his eyes fell on Pei Yinghua.

Pei Yinghua remained silent, sitting calmly without saying a word.

But the standing shopkeepers looked at each other in blank dismay, and finally bowed to Fang Yuan.

"Everyone is polite, I don't know what to do with this officer?"

Only then did Fang Yuan show a faint smile and asked.

"Inspector Fang, please let him go."

Pei Yinghua said calmly.

"The arrest warrant has been issued, how can we just release him like this?"

Fang Yuan didn't think so, said calmly.

"Let go!"

Pei Yinghua tapped the floor with the cane in his hand.

"Inspector Fang, please let him go."

The big shopkeepers behind him expressed their opinions one after another.

More than 30 people forced the palace, and Du Miaoyan and others, who were not far away, were under great pressure.

"Slandering this official and insulting this official's mother, Mr. Pei thinks that one word can make this official release you?"

Fang Yuan laughed.

He looked at Pei Yinghua with mockery.

Not to mention bringing the shopkeepers of more than 30 large stores in the city.

Even if all the shopkeepers in the city, big and small, came, it was impossible to let them go with a single word.

"Aren't Governor Fang afraid that all our shops will close?!"

The shopkeeper closest to Pei Yinghua said coldly.

"I'm talking to Mr. Pei, what right do you have to intervene?"

"I don't want to know you, and I don't want to know what business you are in, but starting today, I will have people check your store every day. You are going to close it."

Fang Yuan's eyes turned cold, he stared at the man and scolded.

The atmosphere in the hall was already very depressing, but now it suddenly turned cold.

Fang Yuan's domineering power instantly dominated, and the eyes of the shopkeepers behind Pei Yinghua changed.

As for the shopkeeper who was scolded by Fang Yuan, his face turned into a liver-colored face, he was frightened and angry and dared not speak nonsense.

Du Miaoyan at the side watched, her beautiful eyes twinkling, she secretly sighed that Fang Yuan was really domineering, and he didn't have stage fright when he was forced into the palace.

I heard that when His Majesty was forced by the officials to issue an edict of guilt some time ago, he was ready to compromise after his anger.
"You all go out, the old man will have a private talk with Governor Fang."

Pei Yinghua pondered for a moment, then said calmly.

But if you look closely at him, you can see that his hands are gripping the crutches harder.

The shopkeepers behind them looked at each other and whispered, and finally obediently left the hall of the governor's mansion.

"You go out too."

Fang Yuan also asked Du Miaoyan and others to go out.

After everyone left, only Fang Yuan and Pei Yinghua were left on the scene, Pei Yinghua said slowly:
"What will Fang Inspector do to release Qin Liangcai?"
