The breeding model among all the worlds: I’m really not a scumbag!

When she heard that her face was going to be disfigured, Zhang Jia was immediately frightened as a quail and dared not utter a single sound.

I can only cry in my heart: Master, I am sorry for you...

Just as I was about to accept my fate, I heard Yue Banwan ask:

"Where did you hide the account book?"

It turned out that it was not rape, but something even more deadly.

Zhang Jia's heart tightened and she said:

"The Madam is the housekeeper of the Dutong Mansion. I don't have any account books. You have found the wrong person. If you want gold and silver, I have hidden some in boxes. Just take them all."

"Humph, I have already investigated it clearly, do you think you can fool me?"

Yue Banwan raised the dagger and slashed it downwards.

The sharp blade pressed against Zhang Jia's skin, easily cutting through her delicate silk clothes.

Although the skin was not scratched, only a narrow red mark was left, but the sound of silk tearing was enough to frighten Zhang Jia's heart to the point that it almost jumped out of her chest.

Fear froze her limbs like ice in an instant, leaving her unable to move.

But even so, she still didn't dare to explain:

"I...I really don't have an account book..."

Yue Banwan obviously didn't believe it. The cold light of the dagger flickered under the candlelight, and she said viciously:

"Zhang Jia, do you think you are so smart? In the Dutong Mansion, there is no wall that is impenetrable. I have known all your little moves for a long time!"

"Now, I'll give you one last chance. Tell me the whereabouts of the account book, otherwise..."

Zhang Jia felt an unprecedented despair, knowing that if she continued to conceal the truth, even more terrible consequences would await her.

However, the account book concerns her life and property, and even the safety of the entire family. How could she hand it over so easily?

Zhang Jia clenched her teeth, tears welling up in her eyes. She took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down.

However, under the strong pressure of Yue Banwan's momentum and the inhuman torture, her psychological defenses were quickly broken, and she shouted:

"I'm telling you, it's in the secret compartment under the bed!"

Yue Banwan's eyes lit up, and she quickly tied up Zhang Jia and gagged her. Then she squatted down and searched for the switch of the secret compartment.

She did not open it rashly, but pulled Zhang Jia in front of her and forced her to take action.

Zhang Jia: “…” What a cautious villain! Fortunately, the Dutong Mansion is not the imperial palace, and she is not a royal concubine, but just a concubine. She has no ability to design any traps.

With a slight "click" sound, the secret compartment was opened, revealing a small and exquisite wooden box hidden inside.

Yue Banwan opened the wooden box, and inside was a thick account book, which was densely recorded with the transactions of silver and money.

Sure enough, the real account book that the Lianghuai salt merchants and the imperial envoys were fighting for accidentally fell into the hands of the deputy governor-general. I wonder what his intention was?

But these are no longer important, the deputy governor is not qualified to sit at the table now.

Yue Banwan put the account book in her arms, then stood up, glanced at Zhang Jia coldly, opened the window and prepared to leave.

"Hi!"

Cao Rui smiled and waved hello outside the window.

Yue Banwan's pupils suddenly shrank, and she secretly cried out in alarm. She flicked her wrist and slashed the dagger towards Cao Rui, trying to force Cao Rui to retreat so that she could escape as soon as possible.

Cao Rui dodged to the side, then suddenly made a move, grabbed Yue Banwan's wrist, twisted it hard, and took the dagger from her hand.

He wanted to end the battle quickly, but accidentally touched Yue Banwan's body and immediately felt something strange.

With the faint light coming through the room, Cao Rui was surprised to find that Yue Banwan's figure and movements revealed a hint of feminine beauty.

"You...you are a woman?"

Yue Banwan struggled to break free from the control, but was unable to shake Cao Rui's power. Her face was extremely ugly, but her eyes remained firm:

“So what if it is, so what if it’s not?”

Cao Rui did not answer immediately, but turned to look at Zhang Jia who was trembling with fear in the room:

"Did she do anything wrong to you?"

Zhang Jia spat out the towel in her mouth and shook her head quickly, her eyes full of fear and helplessness:

"No...no, she came here to steal something."

Cao Rui frowned. Although it was rare, there were female gangsters in this world. He suspected that Zhang Jia did not dare to tell the truth for the sake of her reputation.

So he ordered: "Dani, go in and check to make sure Mrs. Zhangjia is not injured."

Upon hearing this, Chen Dani immediately went in and conducted a comprehensive examination of Zhang Jia.

It was ultimately determined that no violation had occurred.

Cao Rui nodded, looked at Yue Banwan again, and sighed:

"You are a beautiful woman, but you are a thief! However, I only want to catch the rapist now, and I don't have time to care about the thief. I am going to hand you over to the victim. You can only wish you good luck."

"do not want!"

Yue Banwan said anxiously in her heart, while Zhang Jia thanked her repeatedly.

At this moment, Young Master Zi came hurriedly from the front yard and asked:

"How's it going? Did you catch the rapist?"

"We did catch him, but unfortunately he wasn't a rapist, but a female thief who disguised herself as a man to steal things."

After hearing this, Master Zi felt a little flustered, but he quickly regained his composure and looked at the crescent moon, admiring it inexplicably.

"I see. I misunderstood."

"However, stealing is illegal after all. No matter if it is a man or a woman, they should be punished accordingly. Send her to my house for custody first, and I will deal with her after the investigation is complete."

"Hmph, if you want to kill or behead me, it's up to you!"

Yue Banwan raised her head stubbornly and looked directly at Master Zi, wanting to show great courage, but her inner panic betrayed her.

What do you mean by sending her to the mansion for custody first? It's obvious that he wanted to insult her.

When Yue Banwan was hiding in a wealthy family and performing opera, she had seen many such things. When the young evildoers from wealthy families saw a beautiful woman, they would find an excuse to slander her and then take her back to their houses for fun.

The fate of those beautiful women is often extremely miserable.

Yue Banwan didn't expect that it would be her turn, and she struggled violently, wanting to commit suicide. If she hadn't known that it was difficult to die by biting the tongue, she would have wanted to bite her tongue to commit suicide immediately.

As a result, he was tied up like a mummy.

"Bring back!"

Chen Shuozhen personally supervised the matter and took the opportunity to whisper in Yue Banwan's ear:

"A vacuum hometown, a birthless mother!"

"..."

Yue Banwan glanced at Chen Shuozhen, quickly looked away, and suddenly shouted angrily:

"Let me know clearly, you were sent away, why are you back?"

This was also the question that Zhang Jia wanted to know. She clutched her clothes tightly and looked at Cao Rui somewhat embarrassedly. She looked a little indecent just now.

Cao Rui explained with a smile.

It turned out that after receiving Zhang Jia's order, the chief steward of the Dutong Mansion immediately ordered the soldiers to drive the people away.

At the critical moment, Young Master Zi appeared, wearing a purple robe and a jade crown. He looked at the chief steward of the Dutong Mansion and said coldly:

"Get out of the way! I am here, who dares to stop me?"

The chief steward of the Dutong Mansion naturally knew his master's immediate superior, Master Zi from the Shenjunwang family. He immediately changed his expression, nodded and bowed, and after some negotiations, he obediently gave way.

Cao Rui realized that he had alerted the enemy, so he pretended to retreat and counterattacked with only Chen Shuozhen and Chen Dani, and successfully captured the female thief Yue Banwan.
