The Queen's Engineering Army

Chapter 154
In a lonely street.

"Help, help."

A woman, about sixteen or seventeen years old, with injuries all over her body, was stumbling and running with a look of fear on her face.

"The bitch still dares to run, let's see if I don't beat you to death."

Two strong men came from behind, one of them rushed over, pressed the woman to the ground, and sprayed on the palm of her hand.

Then he slapped the woman's face hard several times.

The woman cried in pain, "Please let me go."

"Hmph, if I let you go, we will be punished if we let you go. Hurry up and come with us. We must receive twenty customers this month, or I will beat you to death." The thug said viciously.

"In order to prevent her from escaping again, let me leave a deep mark on her." Another thug sneered, took a long black hard strip, and pointed it at the woman's lower body...

At the street corner, Su Lin and Meng Ao watched for a while, and couldn't help but stepped forward and shouted, "Stop it."

"Where did you come from, get out of here quickly, dare to meddle in the affairs of Baili's family?" A thug sneered.

The Baili family is the largest family in Wuguan, not only Ying Ji's former husband who died, but many of the entire big family are officials in the Qin court, and ordinary people dare not offend easily.

"I don't know how to live or die." Meng Ao's eyes flashed coldly, and he ran over quickly.

"you……."

The thug hadn't finished speaking, Meng Ao grabbed his wrist, and then suddenly folded it in the opposite direction, only the crisp sound of bones was heard, and then there was a scream like killing a pig.

Meng Ao kicked his calf violently with his black leather boots, kicking him to the ground directly.

With two moves, the thugs lost their combat effectiveness. He was worthy of being a fierce general who was trained in the army.

The other person also wanted to fight back, Meng Ao punched violently, the casserole-sized fist hit the face directly, the force was so great that he was blindsided by one punch.

Three punches and two kicks to resolve the battle.

"It's no wonder that he is a fierce general of the Qin State. He is very powerful." Su Lin strolled over, smiling and clapping his hands.

"Miss Su, last night you didn't clarify who was behind the scenes, and you brought me here again today, what do you want me to see?" Meng Ao asked in a deep voice.

As soon as Su Lin waved his hands, the people behind tied up the two thugs, "Take them back first, and then interrogate them slowly."

"Here." The militiamen from the Intelligence Bureau escorted the two thugs who were still unconscious.

"Ask this girl first." Su Lin pointed at the woman.

Meng Ao frowned, looked at the shivering woman, squatted down and asked softly: "Girl, are you alright?"

"Don't hit me, don't hit me?" The woman shook her head tremblingly.

"Don't be afraid, we are here to save you, you will see your parents soon." Su Lin also knelt down and comforted him.

"Really?" The woman's eyes lit up and she glanced at Su Lin.

"I won't lie to you, tell me first, what's your name, where do you live? Why did those two people chase you just now?" Su Lin asked.

The woman bowed her head and was silent for a while, before she said: "My name is Xiaodie, and I live in a mountain village far to the northwest of Wuguan. I followed the people in the village to Wuguan City to buy some things. I got separated from everyone on the way. I was lied to by two people to bring me to them, I followed them in a daze, and they locked me in a dark room."

"Someone will come over every day, come and take me..." Xiaodie couldn't help crying bitterly while covering her face.

"brute!"

Meng Ao was furious, someone actually did such a thing of forcing a good girl into prostitution, he should be killed!

"How long have you been there?" Su Lin calmed down and continued to ask.

"I don't know. It's been two months. This time I ran out while they weren't paying attention. I didn't expect to be caught up by them. If I was caught by them this time, I would definitely die." said Xiaodie's eyes. Fear emerges.

Su Lin continued to ask: "How many girls like you are there?"

"I know about 30 people, and many of them have stayed there for a long time, but most people don't do it for long. If they are lucky, they can stay for ten or eight years. Sores, and then wrapped in a straw mat and thrown outside Wuguan City." Xiaodie felt that Su Lin was very trustworthy, so she told all she knew.

Meng Ao couldn't restrain the anger in his heart anymore, "Kill, everyone deserves to be killed, I'm going to mobilize the army and destroy these filthy places."

"General, wait a moment." Su Lin stretched out his hand to stop him.

"What, Miss Su, are you going to stop me?" Meng Ao asked angrily.

"Even if you destroy these places like this, it's only treating the symptoms, not the root cause. There are many prostitutes in Wuguan City. If you destroy one, other places will definitely hide when they hear the news. If you act too violently, you will hurt those girls. It’s a matter of long-term thinking.”

Su Lin knew that there were more than one places like this kind of prostitution, and if he wanted to move, he had to control the places, and they would take them all with a thunderbolt.

Meng Ao nodded, and said coldly: "Go and interrogate those two people first, and find out who is behind them."

In a dark room, two thugs had their hands tied to a wooden post.

The sacks on their heads were removed, and the strong sunlight from the window made them unable to keep their eyes open.

"Who are you? How dare you kidnap us? You really don't know what to do."

"Yes, let us go quickly, otherwise the princess and General Meng will definitely not let you go."

Before the interrogation, the two thugs said everything arrogantly.

Meng Ao in the room was trembling with anger, he didn't know these two bastards at all, and dared to use his name to deceive people.

"Hit me hard." Meng Ao said coldly.

"Here."

Two Qin soldiers in black armor, each with a black leather whip, lashed at the two chattering thugs.

A sound of the whip is torn apart.

"what!"

"Ah! It hurts like hell, stop beating me."

"What the hell are you going to do? Please stop fighting."

The two thugs cried for their father and mother after being beaten.

Meng Ao looked at them coldly, and when one of them fought for more than 30 minutes, he raised his hand to ask the soldiers to stop.

He walked over in black leather boots and asked coldly: "If you don't want to die, tell me who is behind you?"

"Ah, let me tell you, our boss named Baili Yong is the slave of Princess Ying Ji, and General Meng Ao of Wuguan City." The frightened thug said quickly.

"It seems that you still haven't been beaten enough."

Meng Ao sneered, he was the mastermind behind them, yet he didn't even know it.

It must be that these two wanted to pull the tiger's skin to make a big banner, but unfortunately they found the wrong partner.

The thug was crying, with snot and tears, "The little one is absolutely not lying, everything is true."

"You said that Meng Ao is your envoy, so did you tell me that you have seen him?" Meng Ao laughed angrily.

"No, but General Meng is the princess's old friend, and also the princess's father's subordinate, so he is also our master, there is nothing wrong with that." The thug said quickly.

"..."

Meng Ao is speechless, what kind of logic is this, this dirty thing you guys have done is still being dragged onto me.

"Are you really Princess Yingji's servants?" Meng Ao asked coldly.

"The two of us are not qualified to be the princess's servants, but the princess met me from a distance when she came to inspect." The thug smiled wryly.

They are the younger brothers of the house slaves, and indeed they are not considered as the house slaves of Princess Ying Ji.

……

outside the room.

Su Lin sat under a grass hall and waited to sit and drink tea.

This is a stronghold on the outskirts of the Qin army, where it was used to interrogate enemy scouts and detain soldiers.

The door opened, and Meng Ao walked out with a dark face.

"How is it, did you ask clearly?" Su Lin stood up and greeted him.

Meng Ao looked up at her, "Did you already know?"

"Yes, and no." Su Lin said.

"what for?"

"I know that there are many prostitutes and thugs who strictly control beggars in Wuguan City, but I later found out that these are the properties of Princess Yingji. Even if I know, there is nothing I can do. Who dares to touch Princess Yingji's status? It's just these poor people , How many people were tortured to death." Su Lin sighed and shook his head.

Meng Ao slammed his fist on the wooden pillar and roared angrily: "I will take care of what others don't dare to do."
