From a son-in-law to a favorite of the empress

It was just before dawn, before the daybreak, and the nightlife was over.

The all-night casino had closed, and countless people who were tired all night were about to rest. It was also the most relaxing moment for the entire casino.

Zhou Yuan was sure that no one was watching him at this moment, so he came to the bathroom and asked questions under the sound of water.

However, the beauty who had been tortured by Zhou Yuan for more than an hour had a drastic change of expression, and even took a few steps back and dared not speak.

"Come here, stand in front of me and don't move."

Zhou Yuan's voice was very calm, but there was a unique calmness.

He said lightly: "Although you are trying your best to imitate the Wu Nong soft accent, in some words and specific words, you still reveal the accent of your hometown."

"You were trafficked here, right?"

The girl was stunned in place, tears suddenly welled up, but she didn't speak.

Zhou Yuan was very patient and continued: "You have no accessories, not even a decent hairpin, which means that the high profits here have not been shared with you. At the same time, there are bruises on the outside of your thighs, which should be caused by violence."

"A woman so beautiful, came here to suffer torture, but still can't make money, it must not be voluntary, not to mention it is so far from your hometown."

Speaking of this, Zhou Yuan frowned and said: "Don't stop your hands, keep wiping my body, if the room is too quiet, our conversation will be easily heard."

The woman exclaimed softly and moved quickly, wiping Zhou Yuan's back while She said in a trembling voice: "Master, what are you going to do!"

Zhou Yuan said: "Looking at your reaction, are you scared? Maybe the people in the casino have specifically told you not to mention these things, otherwise you will be beaten."

"You have even been beaten before when you encountered the same thing."

The woman was silent for a moment, and then said faintly: "It's not a beating, the scars will affect my business for them, it's starvation, the kind of starvation that can drive people crazy."

Zhou Yuan said lightly: "So you can say where you are from now?"

"Master, I dare not say...I want to live..."

The woman's voice was trembling, and her words were full of fear.

Zhou Yuan said slowly: "If you don't tell me, you can only live here until you are tortured to death. If you tell me, I may let you go home."

"You have outstanding appearance, extraordinary conversation, and no calluses on your hands. You should have a good family background, right?"

"Not to mention a scholarly family, at least you are a boudoir girl. Don't you want to go home?"

The woman looked up suddenly. She had thought about the word "go home" countless times, but she gradually became desperate.

Zhou Yuan continued: "There will always be a lot of misfortune in this world. It happens that you are the unfortunate one, but God is not blind. Justice may be late, but it will never be absent."

"Those who beat you and hurt you, don't you want them to pay the price?"

The woman suddenly said loudly: "I want to! I would rather die than let them die!"

Zhou Yuan hurriedly said: "Speak softly!"

He glanced at the woman and said: "Introduce yourself, tell me everything you know, and try not to leave out anything."

The long silence may be organizing the language.

The woman finally spoke: "My name is Chu Wanping, I am from Heze, Shandong. My father is a businessman and has some wealth, but he is not at home all year round."

"Last April, I was kidnapped by three masked men in black on my way to my family's store and was taken directly to the ship."

"We were locked in the bottom of the cabin and were sent here after living in darkness for almost a month."

She seemed to remember what happened in those days, and she was already in tears, choking and said: "Our first night was auctioned at a high price, and then we provided services for masters like you, charging expensive fees, but we could only barely get enough food."

"Those who disobey will be beaten or even killed. One of my sisters was very hot-tempered and was killed by those people."

"Just in front of me In front of us, they were stripped naked, their stomachs cut open, and their limbs chopped off. ”

She covered her face and cried bitterly, "We didn't dare to resist, we could only obey."

"Anyone who dares to tell these things to outsiders will be starved for three to five days at best, or beaten to death at worst."

"They have many methods. One of the sisters wanted to run away, but was caught halfway."

"They cut the sister's body into pieces, smeared honey on her, and let the rats eat her to death."

Speaking of this, Chu Wanping's face turned pale, and she said in horror: "We were afraid, we didn't dare to resist."

Zhou Yuan had a blank expression on his face and said softly: "Are there many of you?"

Chu Wanping nodded and said: "Many, there are sisters who have been dying, and there are always new sisters coming. ThisIn more than a year, I have seen at least hundreds of people. "

Speaking of this, he hurriedly said: "There are also children. Sometimes they will kidnap children and make them disabled, begging for a living to help them make money."

"I have never seen those children, but I heard from some old sisters that some of them had their eyes dug out, some had their tongues cut off, and some were burned by fire, making them look miserable, so that they can beg."

"They also lend money, lend money illegally, forcing the other party's family to be broken up, and sell their wives and daughters to come here."

"Most of them are businessmen without background."

Zhou Yuan was silent for a long time.

He kept all his emotions in his heart.

He said in a deep voice: "Do you know the leaders of the rich gambling house?"

Chu Wanping whispered: "They are all pseudonyms, we don't know their real names. There are two leaders here, one is the monkey king Ma Si, and the other is the spirit ape Jiuge."

"But I heard them talking, it seems that there is a person called Snake Lord above them. "

Snake Master? Could it be the bald old snake?

Zhou Yuan couldn't understand so much information for a while.

It was almost dawn.

Zhou Yuan stood up and said expressionlessly: "Help me fall asleep, and pretend that the conversation just now never happened. Don't tell anyone, including your best sister, otherwise you will die."

Chu Wanping was startled, and hurriedly took a towel to wipe Zhou Yuan, and then helped him to the bed.

She was naked, sticking to Zhou Yuan's body to keep him warm, which was her standard service.

But this time, she burst into tears and could no longer deceive herself.

Zhou Yuan sighed and said: "Don't blame me, I must be a normal customer and do everything a normal customer should do. Any clues will be caught. "

"I... I know, thank you..."

Chu Wanping's voice was trembling, but she couldn't help asking: "Uncle, can you really let me go home? I miss my mother! ”

Seeing a glimmer of hope at the end of despair, people will become extremely fragile.

Zhou Yuan did not stop her, nor did he feel sleepy at all. He just quietly recalled the words just now.

Those words were just words, but behind them were such shocking and cruel crimes.

Jinyiwei, Jinyiwei, what have you been doing these years?

Investigating cases? Catching corruption? Quelling riots?

Being a shitty centurion, if you can't do something serious, then there is no point.

Lord Wang Ang, is your path the same as mine?

This will determine our future relationship!

Zhou Yuan's thoughts at this moment are very complicated, and he thinks of countless people and countless things in his mind.

He is a calm and clear person. He understands his current state, which is anger.

Angry to the extreme.
