Chapter 140 Conditions
"Sister, are you okay?"
He stepped forward and carefully helped the woman up, but the other party seemed very uneasy and hurriedly pulled his hands away, as if he was afraid that his hands would dirty Chen Yu's clothes.
"Thank you, Jun!"
"I am not a military official, I am the new magistrate of Songnan Prefecture!"
"Master Prefect?" When the woman heard Chen Yu's identity report, she was so scared that she knelt down again, and her face became more and more uneasy. For a commoner like them, the Magistrate was already an unimaginable big shot.
"Sister, don't be nervous. I just want to ask a few questions!" After looking at the surrounding environment, the low and dilapidated thatched houses were obviously the family background of poor families.
But when I look at the elder sister in front of me, she doesn’t look like she is weathered. Although her hands are a bit rough, they are not as cracked as ordinary peasant women. It should be because they have just started to do rough work recently.
There are also the two children next to them who are carved with jade. Even though they are worn out, their faces are very clean. They are not like ordinary farm children who play like mud monkeys on weekdays.
"I don't think my elder sister is from a poor family, why..."
"This... I'm actually to tell you, my husband used to be a small family. His husband runs a restaurant in the Fucheng City, which is the Linjia Restaurant in West Lane!"
"But a few days ago, some changes happened at home. Not only did my family sell their property, but my family members also passed away. Only our orphans and widows depend on each other for life, so life is inevitably a bit miserable now!"
"Linjia Restaurant? That restaurant that was robbed by Zhen Anbo?" He looked at the other party unexpectedly, but he didn't expect that she was the owner of the Linjia Restaurant and came here.
There was something like this in the information collected by the Film Guard for him before. The young master of Zhen'anbo's family fell in love with the Linjia Restaurant and directly used deceitful means to snatch the restaurant away. Hearing that the shopkeepers of the Linjia Restaurant were all seriously injured, and then the family disappeared.
Now it seems that this family has fallen here, but unexpectedly the shopkeeper of the restaurant has died. Thinking about it, these people are really not good, and it is a disaster for the family to get back and forth.
It would be fine if I took away the restaurant, but I wouldn't let it go. I snatched away my eldest daughter. Now I am thinking about this little daughter again. I'm afraid this little girl is less than ten years old. This attitude is to let people die and be willing to die.
"Sir, there is nothing wrong with the civilian women now. They not only took away my eldest daughter, but now they also want to snatch even Nini away!"
Standing beside Shen Yu, the woman's face was full of pleading and said in a low voice, "Sir, can you help us? Nini can't fall into their hands. She is still young!"
"I understand, don't worry, with me here, no one will oppress you anymore!" Chen Yu knew the woman's concerns very well. The young master of Zhen'anbo's family was a famous playboy, and he was very mean since childhood.
From the information collected by the Shadow Guard for him, this bastard likes these unopened girls on a daily basis. As long as he likes him, basically no one can escape. Those who do not follow will be targeted by him using various means.
For this reason, many people lost their fortunes and many people died. And those little girls who fell into his hands would most likely not be good.
"They are so oppressed, have you never thought about reporting to the official?"
"Report to the official?" Hearing this, the woman suddenly showed a bitter expression on her face. "Sir, the eldest daughter of the civilian woman was taken away by the young master of Zhen'anbo Mansion and took her away with her. No matter how bold the civilian woman is, she would not dare to oppose Zhen'anbo Mansion!"
"I heard that my miserable eldest daughter was bullied by him, and she annoyed him after several resistance. She was actually sent to the Xiangsi Pavilion!"
When talking about her eldest daughter, the woman could no longer hold on, and tears instantly crawled across her face. The two children next to her seemed to feel the sadness of their mother, subconsciously hugged into her arms, and the three of them couldn't help sobbing.
"Acacia Pavilion? Brothel?" At this moment, Chen Yu also recalled the information of Zhen'an Bo. When he asked the Shadow Guard to collect information, he said that he should focus on this Zhen'an Bo.
I have to say that this person is famous for being arrogant and domineering in Songnan Prefecture. It’s okay to force yourself to buy and sell, but he also opens casinos and brothels everywhere.
Although everyone knows how to do things, they can't stand the skills of others, and they make these casinos and brothels seem to have nothing to do with their family. They are all run by their servants. Do you think everyone is stupid?
These casinos use all their means to ruin the people, and then send people to collect debts. If they have no money, they mortgage their wives and daughters and send them directly into brothels. After this line, I don’t know how many people were killed and their families were destroyed.
But the previous prefect was a master who only knew how to compromise. He had no choice but to face these people with high power. So that these people became more arrogant and became more unscrupulous.
Until now, it can be said that they have been unscrupulous and completely regard the laws of the court as nothing, and regard the people as ants!
However, according to the news from the Shadow Guard during this period, the people from Songnan Prefecture seemed to be very afraid of him, the new prefect. Not only were they secretly dealing with the unclean things under their command, but on the other hand, they were also constantly moving up and down, wanting to transfer him away from Songnan Prefecture.
These guys wanted to make up their minds to waste time with him until he left. As long as he left, the new prefect would let them knead!
Moreover, the identities of these people are there. As long as they are not captured on the spot, or the evidence is conclusive, even Chen Yu is not willing to force them to act.
Faced with the existing evidence, they could completely swear that they did not know about it, and that the servants were doing it behind their backs, and they could even kill a few servants to work hard.
Humph, I still want to escape the blame after doing all the bad things, so how can I do that?
Taking a deep breath, after the woman in front of her relieved a little, Chen Yu then said, "Sister, I have a reluctant request. I wonder if I am willing?"
"Sir, please speak!"
"I want to ask my elder sister to testify and identify this young master of the Bo Mansion. I want to use him as a breakthrough to pry open the door of the Zhen'an Bo Mansion and take down all these oppressors!"
"This..." The woman looked very entangled. She opened her mouth to talk, but in the end she never spoke.
"Well!" Seeing this situation, Chen Yu waved his hand, and he knew the woman's concerns. If she were herself, it would be fine. Their family was so harmed. The rabbit would bite people if she was anxious. At worst, she would have to fight to death.
But she still has two children around her. If she has concerns around her, she has to consider her two children. Therefore, no matter how difficult or wronged she is, the woman will choose to endure all this silently unless she has to.
"Oh!" sighed softly, took out a few taels of silver from his arms and placed it on the table. Chen Yu then said, "Sister, this is my wish. Buy some food for the two children!"
"Don't worry, your eldest daughter, I will definitely help you save it!"
"let's go!"
"Sir, wait!" Seeing that Chen Yu was about to turn around and leave, the woman behind wiped her tears and hurriedly called him.
"I am willing to testify, but the civilian woman has a condition!" After looking at the two children beside her, the woman pushed them forward, then knelt down with her head close to the ground.
"The civilian woman hopes that the adults can accept these two children and at least give them a bite of food. As long as the adults can agree, the civilian woman is willing to testify!"
"Sister, get up!" He stepped forward and helped the woman up. Chen Yu said firmly, "Don't worry, as long as you have my official in Songnan Prefecture for one day, not only these two children, but also you will not be in trouble!"
"Thank you, thank you!"
"The order is sent, everyone is rushing to the target of Zhen'anbo Mansion. I want to see how arrogant they are!"
"promise!"
