Three days later, Mo Li and the others finally returned to the Emperor of Li's Estate.
Not only did they go to Yangshan Town, but they also brought the villagers who wrote the complaint.
As soon as they arrived at the study, Mo Li cupped his hands and said, "Your Highness, we found out that Lord Jiang's words are true. There were indeed many young girls in Yangshan Town who were lured to the Golden Phoenix Pavilion. If any of the girls refused, those people would directly rob them. Moreover, Ru Xiang specifically abducted young girls to satisfy the perverted fetishes of some officials and nobles. "
Liu Ruyan said, "Your Highness, we also found out that Ru Xiang and her group also trafficked women and children. Ru Xiang is the leader of this organization, but the Golden Phoenix Pavilion is not hers. The owner of the Golden Phoenix Pavilion is called Zhang Yuan Shan. This subordinate found out that this Zhang Yuan Shan is the registrar of The Emperor of Rui's Estate. "
"The Emperor of Rui?" Chu Xuanchen's expression changed as he said this.
Yun Ruoyue said, "Heavens! In other words, the Golden Phoenix Pavilion is very likely the property of The Emperor of Rui. Then, the kidnapping of young girls should also be related to him! "
Feng Qing Yang said, "It's not 'should', it's definitely. We found out that the Golden Phoenix Pavilion is one of The Emperor of Rui's main properties to amass wealth. In addition to the Golden Phoenix Pavilion, he also opened many brothels all over the country. These brothels are all his means of amassing wealth. Although these are The Emperor of Rui's properties, he never shows his face and leaves them to his trusted subordinates to manage. As for the Golden Phoenix Pavilion, it was left to his registrar, Zhang Yuan Shan, to manage. "
Mo Li said, "Your Highness, we also found out that the County Magistrate of Shili County, Zhou Zhiyuan, is one of The Emperor of Rui's people. Of course, he would cover up for Zhang Yuan Shan and Ru Xiang. We have brought all the villagers here. They can testify. "
Feng Qing Yang said, "Your Highness, when we went to the Golden Phoenix Pavilion to investigate, we saw many young girls being forced to serve guests. Those who disobeyed were directly tortured. The scene was very cruel. If we don't save them, their situation will be very dangerous. "
When Chu Xuanchen heard this, his face was full of anger. "Do you have any evidence of Ruxiang and Zhang Yuanshan committing crimes?"
Mo Li replied, "Replying to Your Highness, everything has been grasped! We even have evidence of the county magistrate colluding with them and shielding them! "
Chu Xuanchen gritted his teeth. "Very good! They dared to abduct and sell women and children, forcing women into prostitution. This kind of organization must be eliminated. Mo Li, go to the capital governor's office and find Prince Xian. Tell him to quickly bring officials to Golden Phoenix Pavilion to arrest them! "
"Yes, this subordinate will do it right away." After saying that, Mo Li left.
At this time, Feng Qing Yang asked, "Your Highness, what about Zhang Yuanshan? Should we send someone to The Emperor of Rui's residence to capture him?"
Chu Xuanchen narrowed his eyes. "There's no need. Wang believes that The Emperor of Rui will let him walk into a trap."
Yun Ruoyue said, "That's right. Now that we have conclusive evidence, Zhang Yuanshan can't escape. If The Emperor of Rui doesn't hand Zhang Yuanshan over, then The Emperor of Rui will become the target of public criticism. If he wants to clear his name, he will definitely hand Zhang Yuanshan over! "
"Zhang Yuanshan is The Emperor of Rui's subordinate. Whether The Emperor of Rui hands him over or not, Zhang Yuanshan cannot escape responsibility." Chu Xuanchen said and looked at Yun Ruoyue. "Yue'er, let's go to Golden Phoenix Pavilion to take a look."
"Okay." Yun Ruoyue nodded.
-
Soon, Chu Xuanchen brought Yun Ruoyue to Golden Phoenix Pavilion.
At this time, Prince Xian had yet to arrive. In order to prevent the people of Golden Phoenix Pavilion from escaping, Chu Xuanchen ordered the imperial bodyguards of The Emperor of Li's residence to surround Golden Phoenix Pavilion.
This time, even a mosquito wouldn't be able to escape.
Not long after, Prince Xian arrived with a large group of officials.
As soon as Prince Xian arrived, he hurriedly dismounted from his horse and said to Chu Xuanchen, "Imperial Older Brother, I already know what happened. I have already brought the soldiers here!"
Chu Xuanchen nodded coldly. "Yes. Wang has both witnesses and material evidence. You can give the order to arrest them!"
"Okay." Prince Xian said and then ordered the officials behind him, "Everyone, listen to my order."
"This subordinate obeys!"
"Break into Golden Phoenix Pavilion and detain everyone. Without Wang's permission, no one is allowed to leave this place," Prince Xian ordered coldly.
"Yes!" The soldiers replied in unison, then pulled out their swords and charged into Golden Phoenix Pavilion.
Soon, the sound of men and women fleeing in panic could be heard from inside, as well as the frightened screams of the procuress.
Not long after, Ru Xiang and her bodyguards were all tied up by the soldiers.
As soon as Ru Xiang saw Prince Xian and Chu Xuanchen, she was so frightened that her body shrank back. She then shouted, "Officers, this servant didn't do anything wrong. Why are you arresting this servant?"
Chu Xuanchen coldly said, "How dare you, Ru Xiang. You colluded with Zhang Yuanshan and conspired with him to kidnap and sell women and children. You forced women into prostitution and committed all kinds of crimes. You still dare to say that you didn't do anything wrong? "
Hearing this, Ru Xiang's body immediately went limp, and a layer of cold sweat appeared on her forehead.
Oh no!
She must have been exposed!
However, she was used to this kind of situation, so she wasn't afraid at all.
She straightened her neck and put on a righteous appearance, "This servant was doing business here, but you government officials actually used your power to bully people and bully this servant. What right do you have to do this?"
"What right do we have? You'll know soon enough!" After Prince Xian finished speaking, he coldly waved his hand, "Someone come, take this procuress and her bodyguards to the capital governor. Wang will personally handle this case!"
"Yes, Your Highness." After the officers finished speaking, they quickly took Ru Xiang and the others away!
At this time, the officers arrested the high officials and nobles who were having fun and also rescued the young girls who had been lured in.
Yun Ruoyue looked up and saw that these young girls were obviously very young and inexperienced, but they were gorgeously dressed and looked like prostitutes.
Thinking of what they had encountered here, she angrily clenched her fists!
She quickly went forward and hugged a frightened young girl. She wiped away the tears on the young girl's face and gently said, "Little girl, don't be afraid. We're here to save you!"
"Re … really?" The young girl looked up at Yun Ruoyue in disbelief.
Yun Ruoyue quickly hugged her tightly and said to everyone, "Everyone, don't worry. You're all saved, and these evil people will also be severely punished. Also, your family members are here too! "
After Yun Ruoyue finished speaking, Mo Li and Feng Qing Yang had already brought all the villagers of Yangshan Town over.
When the villagers ran over, they saw the young girls. They quickly rushed over and hugged their daughters, crying.
Several villagers found their daughters and were so excited that they hurriedly brought their daughters to kowtow to Chu Xuanchen. "Your Highness, thank you for saving my daughter. We really can't repay your great kindness!"
"Please get up. This is what we should do." Chu Xuanchen said and quickly helped the villagers up.
After the villagers got up, their faces were filled with gratitude.
Seeing this, Yun Ruoyue was very gratified.
That's great! These young girls were finally reunited with their families. Everyone's hard work was not in vain.
Soon, Prince Xian brought all the people related to this case to the capital governor. Yun Ruoyue and Chu Xuanchen also brought their retainers and followed.
