Chapter 35 Deed of Membership

After leaving Qunfanglou, Xue Wan'er's words still echoed in Du Ruo's heart. He didn't understand why Xue Wan'er said "omitted". The information on redeeming prostitutes in the official files was clearly written. How could there be omissions?

Even if there are omissions, it should be artificial. Even if you go back and check it, you may not be able to find it.

"Dad, take someone to check the remaining prostitutes who redeem themselves, and check the source of their money for their redeem."

When he returned to the state yard, Du Ruo left the rest of his life to Du Shouyi, while he himself took several Du Shouyi's confidant guards and Shangguan to the house and found the "Titian" who was responsible for the redemption of prostitutes.

"Titian" was one of the official positions of local governments in the Song Dynasty and belonged to the clerk.

"All the prostitutes who have been redeemed this month have been recorded? No omissions?"

Du Ruo asked Tiesi about the account opening room.

The Tieshi said respectfully to Du Ruo: "There are all records on the record, and I dare not miss it."

Du Ruo looked at him slightly, and always felt that his respectfulness was filled with fear.

"Is it possible that someone will redeem it privately without going through the government? Can this be found out?" Du Ruo asked.

"Young Master is an amateur now." Tisi smiled and said with a little contemptuous smile: "All prostitutes in brothels have roster files in the government. Even if they only redeem the contract for selling their bodies, they must go through the government. The owner of the archery will never dare to redeem the sale privately. So what you said will not happen."

Upon hearing this, Du Ruo and Shangguan Jinsuo looked at each other, and both of them felt the slightestness of Tiesi this time.

If he was just a little rude, then Du Ruo would not care, but this matter was related to solving the case. The Tie Si would be rude to him, which indirectly made Du Ruo extremely distrust him.

He chose to firmly believe in Du Wan'er, suspecting that Tiesi deliberately concealed the report.

Du Ruo sneered and stared at Tiesi and asked, "I'll ask you again, is there any missing?"

Tisi was not afraid of Du Ruo at all, and said lightly: "No, it's not. Even if Du Zhizhou came to ask in person, there was no. Can I still deliberately deceive the young master?"

"Since you don't say anything, don't blame me for being rude?"

Du Ruo was too lazy to ramble with him, so he signaled Shangguan. Shangguan immediately reached out and grabbed Paisi's shoulder.

"Ouch!"

Shangguan buckled his shoulder joints, and Tashi immediately grinned in pain, his face twisted.

Du Ruo smiled sinisterly on the side. He just suspected Tiesi and was not sure that he had really missed the report. He was actually reckless when he tried to ask.

But he was not afraid because he was just the son of the governor. Even if he was wronged, it would be nothing. At most, others would say that he would be fine.

In order to quickly investigate the case, he must adopt the simplest and most effective means of violence.

"Young Master, why are you...Oh!"

Tisi Wan didn't expect Du Ruo to move directly, begging for mercy while taking pain, but Du Ruo only replied to him: "Have you missed the report?"

"No...no!"

Click!

Shangguan twisted his wrist and a crisp sound came from the joint of the left arm of the Si, and it was removed alive.

Tashi's face turned pale in an instant.

"If you don't say anything, just remove your right arm, then remove your thighs, and remove your head!" Du Ruo threatened.

Shangguan also put his hands on Tisi's right shoulder, and Tisi's face suddenly turned like earth.

"Young Master, please spare me! There is no omission, wuwu!"

"Unlock!"

Du Ruo shouted loudly, and Tishi's legs became weak. Then he rushed before Shangguan took action and shouted: "Yes! Yes! Yes! I remembered that the young master is looking for someone to do!"

“There’s still something to be done?”

Du Ruo's eyes lit up and he immediately signaled Shangguan to teach Tiesi to speak. Shangguan simply helped Tiesi to connect the misaligned joints again, and with a click, it made Tiesi howl.

When the clerks and yamen runners outside the house heard the sound, they all looked frightened.

"I won't say anything to do earlier, please bring it up!"

"Young Master didn't ask..."

Tishi pressed his shoulder tightly, looked at Du Ruo with resentment, and then went to the case to get another file for Du Ruo.

Du Ruo took it to check it out. In the past month, there was only one thing that the prostitute had failed to redeem her life. It was a prostitute named Hu Yueer from Qunfanglou. She was 23 years old at the time. It was recorded that she had only redeemed the contract for selling her body and had not obtained the contract for her.

"Why is this?" Du Ruo pointed to the file and asked the Tiesi.

Tashi had a bitter face and did not dare to keep it in hiding, and told her all: "This has nothing to do with me. This prostitute named Hu Yueer is just an ordinary prostitute, but her personality is extremely strong. Last summer, she served a squad with a squad at a banquet. The squad was forced to take her to bed, which angered her. She broke her head with a wine pot and her face was bleeding. Later, she was sued and was punished to never redeem herself."

"Where is the King Promoter? Who punished her? Why has she been punished and cannot be redeemed, but she still asked her to redeem the contract for sale and put it in for order?"

Du Ruo asked several questions in a row, and the post-sentence replied honestly: "Officer Wang has been transferred from abroad. It is the case that our father, Du Zhizhou, was sentenced by the case. As for why he was put into the forum..."

After pausing, the Tiss continued: "It was also a routine inspection of the file by Huang Tong Judgment some time ago. When he saw this case, he was grateful to this woman for being as good as jade, so he was very merciful and ordered her to redeem her for the contract of selling her body. This matter was later reported with the consent of Du Zhizhou."

If a brothel girl only redeems the contract for selling her body and not the contract for the title, it means that she can restore her freedom. However, because she does not have a contract for the title, she cannot leave Meizhou and cannot get into a household again. She is destined to be a low-ranking family for the rest of her life.

"Prime Minister Huang!"

When Du Ruo heard that Huang Pei finally appeared, he narrowed his eyes. Although the responsibility for the retrial of the case was, Du Ruo still felt that this matter was inseparable from Huang Pei.

"good."

Du Ruo showed a warm smile to Tae Si and patted him on the shoulder, which scared him to tremble.

"It seems that I misunderstood you. Who told you to take the to-document when you get the file?"

Tie Si smiled hard, and a cold sweat appeared on his forehead: "No...no one, it's because his subordinates are negligent, and his subordinates are guilty."

"Are you guilty? Then let me feel wronged and stay here until evening."

He ordered Du Shouyi to keep Tie Si here and not leave a single step. Du Ruo and Shangguan left.

Before finding Hu Yue'er, this post must be held. Who knows whether the to-do he gave is true or false?

Next, Du Ruo must find the location of Hu Yueer immediately.

Du Ruo could almost conclude that she was the person she was looking for, otherwise Xue Wan'er would not have hinted that even if she found this woman, the case would be half solved.

When he went to Qunfang Tower again, Du Ruo met Xue Wan'er again.

"Half Master Du has found it?" Xue Wan'er smiled bitterly.

"Well, thank you Miss Wan'er."

Du Ruo didn't blame her for not saying it directly, and she didn't have a deep friendship with her, so it would be nice if she was willing to reveal a little clue.

"Please take me to find her, Miss Wan'er." Du Ruo said.

Xue Wan'er nodded, said nothing, changed into simple clothes, followed Du Ruo out of the side door, and got on the carriage.

After sitting face to face with Du Ruo in the carriage, she shed a few tears: "Mr. Du, my sister is innocent. She didn't expect that the person would steal. It was just that she valued the most affection and helped the thieves hide it! Please forgive her!"

As he said that, he was about to give Du Ruo a big gift. Du Ruo quickly held her arm. The carriage was already small, and the two of them almost stuck together after this movement.

The warm fragrance made Du Ruo almost lose himself.

"Miss Wan'er pleads with me, I will definitely give you face. I promise you that as long as she helps me find the dirty silver, I will never tell her, and I will ask my father to return her contract in the future." Du Ruo promised.

His ultimate goal is to help Du Shouyi close the case, not to defend any law. Letting Hu Yueer is not at all conflicted with the purpose.

"Young Master Xie, I know that you are the best."

Xue Wan'er looked at Du Ruo tenderly, her neck was white. When Du Ruo saw this, a fire ignited in his chest. It would be fine if he didn't want to do something, but if he was slightly ticked up, his mind was filled with pictures.

"Young Master, why did you have a nosebleed?"

Xue Wan'er was suddenly shocked and immediately wiped Du Ruo with a handkerchief. Du Ruo was embarrassed and finally returned to normal.

‘Young is so angry!’

He sighed in his heart that the carriage had arrived at the destination, and Xue Wan'er instructed again: "My Yue'er girl is a stubborn girl. You suddenly ask, I'm afraid you can't ask anything. Why do you want me to persuade me first. After you have told her, you can go in?"

Du Ruo thought for a while and said, "Why don't you ask her out and I'll send someone to search quietly. If you find it, we'll save you more trouble."

Du Ruo was so frightened that he thought about it. He didn't think he could ask anything from her.

Xue Wan'er naturally obeyed. Hu Yue'er lived in a secluded alley in Xicheng. The house was as soon as it entered the three-house courtyard. Du Ruo and Shangguan hid across the alley first. After Xue Wan'er held a woman in green and bare face, she went in after she talked and laughed.

The woman in blue had black hair, which was exactly what Du Ruo had seen before on Xue Wan'er.

———

State yamen.

Huang Pei's signing room.

In addition to Huang Pei sitting behind the signing table, there are three people, two strong men, who are Huang Pei's personal guards, and a short brown servant, who is Huang Pei's Changsui.

They are all his confidants.

"You two, go to Huaishu Lane to find Hu Yue'er, be sure..."

Huang Pei calmly and gave orders in an orderly manner. After the man in a strong costume received the order and left, he took out another letter and handed it to Changsui.
Chapter completed!
