When Shi Yi thinks about Xianyu, someone always comes to disturb her.

You Xiuyuan was still in shock and hid in a house.

This place is not far from the You family. I can see my own home being sealed off by the government.

His father, mother and everyone in his family were arrested and imprisoned.

He could only watch and could do nothing. He didn't understand how anyone could dare to touch him?

Who in Lu'an doesn't know that You Xiuyuan has a backer?

Yes! Find a godfather to decide for you.

Now the city of Lu'an is full of soldiers and officers trying to capture him. If he wants to get out, he will have to think hard.

This is really retribution!

Back then, he used this method to trap Fairy Yaoguang.

Now, he also experienced the feeling of being trapped. But he was not a weak woman, he had endless money and could buy himself a way out of the city.

Especially at this time, money is more useful!

The brothel was surrounded by soldiers, but they didn't arrest everyone. They only took away the madam, a few pimps, and thugs.

The other prostitutes and servants were trapped in the brothel and were not allowed to go out.

The madam must know a lot about You Xiuyuan, and it is very likely that she is a participant herself.

So she was the first to be brought to trial.

In the court, Lord Chen sat in the main seat. He was the presiding judge today and had taken full charge of the case.

After the court session began, two groups of yamen runners struck the ground with their clubs, the sound of which deeply frightened the person on trial and even frightened the brothel owner so much that she shrank back in fear, her heart trembling with terror.

Lord Chen slammed the gavel, and the madam was so frightened that she almost couldn't kneel down.

Lord Chen: "Who is here?"

Madam: "My Lord, my name is Li A-mei, and I am the mother of the brothel."

Mr. Chen: "Is the owner of the flower house You Xiuyuan?"

Li A-mei: "My Lord, it is the You family's brothel."

Lord Chen: "Have you seen You Xiuyuan from yesterday to today? Do you know where he is now?"

Li A-mei: "Yesterday, I saw him yesterday, but I didn't see him today. I don't know where Master You is."

Mr. Chen: "Haha, Li Amei, think it through. This is the lobby of the county government. Since I have arrested you, I know everything about you.

If you reply nicely, I will not bother with a woman like you. If you try to fool me, I will not listen. If you delay my arrest of You Xiuyuan, you will be punished even more severely!

You will suffer when the time comes. Hmm?" The inspector's voice was low and full of threats.

The bailiffs banged their clubs in unison again. Li A'mei trembled, looked around in fear, bit her pale lips, and showed a look of struggle.

Lord Chen slammed the gavel fiercely and said, "I don't have time to waste time talking to you. Will you tell me? If you don't behave, I will torture you."

At the side, the bailiff roughly threw a set of torture instruments in front of Li A-mei, with bloodstains clearly visible on them.

Li A-mei screamed "Ah~" and dared not look, she said in a trembling voice:

"Your Excellency, I was supposed to receive a new person yesterday, but for some reason I didn't receive the new person, and the person who went to pick him up didn't come back either.

I had no choice but to tell Master You that it was at that time that I saw him and I never saw him again after that.

Mr. Chen: I won’t tell you that the thugs who came to pick up the people were caught by him before they even got close to the village and were locked up in jail.

Master Chen asked seriously, "What new person did you buy? Where did you buy him? Who did you buy him from? Do you have a contract to buy him? Can you register and stamp him at the county government office?"

Li A-mei: "There are new girls coming to the flower shop every month. As for who they buy from, it is not my business. I am only responsible for the flower shop. The rest is managed by Master You."

Master Chen shouted, "Nonsense! Li A'mei, don't deny it. You Xiuyuan is certainly responsible for the crime, but you can't completely deny it either.

Humph! You dare to say you don't know where these new people come from?

Besides, it wasn't just the girls you wanted from the brothel, right? Who wanted those children? Who did you sell them to? Hmm?"

Lord Chen slammed the gavel again and shouted, "Speak! If you dare to conceal a crime today, I will peel off a layer of skin from you!"

The bailiff shouted, "Speak!"

Li A-mei's eyes were filled with tears, and she looked pitifully at the official in the hall:

"Sir, what can I say? I was kidnapped when I was sixteen and sold to a brothel, where I stayed for thirteen years.

I ran and was beaten all over. I begged and was laughed at. If I want to live a good life, what else can I do except obey?

No matter who the newcomer is, it is not my decision. I cannot control who wants to buy it.

How can you put so many accusations on me? I am innocent, sir!" Li A-mei began to play the victim and expressed her helplessness.

"You are wronged? Weren't those women and children who were sold the buyers you found? Didn't you get any benefit from the money you received?

You are wronged? What kind of women and children did you kidnap? Didn't those traffickers follow your orders?

Are you wronged? Someone in your brothel wants to buy a cool beauty. In a few days, there will be a cool beauty in your brothel.

Sister Li, please explain to me a puzzle. How do you do this? How do you always have good luck?

Li A-mei was terrified. This official really knew a lot. It would be difficult for her to escape. She said hurriedly:

"Sir, I have always followed the master's wishes. I don't have such great ability. It's all because of the You family..."

"The You family has its own responsibilities, and no one can escape. Now I want to know where You Xiuyuan has gone. Tell me! If you keep talking about other things, don't blame me for being rude."

"I really don't know, sir..."

Master Chen shouted, interrupting her attempts to argue: "Come here, punish her."

The two yamen runners heard the news and took the torture instruments and put them on Li A-mei's fingers. They pulled her hands together and waited for the order from the master to start the execution.

Li A-mei was anxious: "Sir, I am innocent, sir, I really don't..."

Mr. Chen ignored him and said directly: "Humph! You won't cry until you see the coffin. I'll torture you!"

“Ahhhhhhhh…” As soon as the torture began, Li A-mei couldn’t stand it anymore.

She had hardly suffered any hardship over the years, and her fingers were delicate and soft because she had never done any work.

She couldn't bear the torture instruments. Torture instruments were meant to torture people, so the surface of the clamps was very rough. Before her fingers were clamped, her skin was already rubbed.

The master gave the order to torture, and the bailiff had just applied force when the ropes tightened around the man's fingers. As soon as the pain spread throughout his body like an electric current.
