Dressed as a young lady, she became rich by relying on Pinxixi

Lin Yiqing was called up at the last minute. He casually put on a coat and tied up his hair simply, but compared with Xu Siyu's dusty and ragged refugee look, there was a world of difference.

"What happened?" Lin Yiqing frowned and immediately ordered people to fetch water, prepare clothes, and arrange a room for people to wash up.

"I was kidnapped by someone who said 'his master admired my pastry skills' and locked me up in the basement of a brothel."

"Where?" Lin Yiqing's voice suddenly rose, and he was nervous and angry.

He anxiously grabbed Xu Siyu's shoulders and turned her around to look at her again and again. This was his treasure, and someone actually touched her and put her in that place.

Xu Siyu was already in pain, so how could she bear such "torture" from him? She struggled to break free from Lin Yiqing's hand and said, "Help me find out who wants to harm me?"

"of course."

Lin Yiqing was even more angry than Xu Siyu. He saw his personal servant Shi Jin hurriedly running into the yard, stopping outside the house, and reporting loudly: "Master, the Nuanxiang Pavilion in the west of the city is on fire."

Lin Yiqing listened, then looked at Xu Siyu, and then asked in a speechless tone: "It's burned, so what does it have to do with me, your master?"

"The Fifth and Seventh Masters of the North Mansion were injured there and were just brought back. The Fifth and Seventh Madams sent someone to seek justice from the Master."

"Fair? When has visiting a prostitute ever been fair?" Lin Yiqing walked out of the main hall and said to Shi Jin, "Since they're looking for my dad, whoever wants to bother with it can do it. Lin Guangyuan should just mind its own business."

Following Lin Yiqing's hint, Shi Jin understood that the people in the house must not be known to others, so he had to deal with this matter first, lest the South House be disturbed by the people from the North House and their young master's "hidden mistress" be exposed.

Lin Yiqing returned to the main room, and Xu Siyu seemed to smell of kerosene.

"Did you burn it?"

"Ah."

Lin Yiqing said nothing more. Under the dim light, he saw that the girl's hair was like messy grass, but it didn't look dirty.

His eyes were calm, showing no fear at all about what he had just experienced.

It's just like the creeping grass by his wall, which always has branches open and is full of vitality, no matter spring, summer, autumn or winter.

Her branches seemed to scratch into his heart, making him feel itchy.

Lin Yiqing approached her and gently smoothed down her tangled hair. "The hot water in the west room is ready. Go wash up. I'll send someone to take you home when it's daybreak. Leave the rest to me."

This inappropriate intimate gesture made Xu Siyu's neck stiff. She rolled her eyes and looked at Lin Yiqing smiling at her. She rolled her eyes consciously, pushed his hand away, turned her head and strode away.

Nuanxiang Pavilion is the property of the Hu family, so it is not difficult to find out who did something to Xu Siyu.

After Lin Yiqing sent someone to send Xu Siyu away, he walked towards Master Lin's study.

After such a commotion, Master Lin, who had woken up in the middle of the night, could not return to the main house and could only stay in the study. Staying in the study until this time meant that he still had something to think of and had not yet figured out a solution.

The two masters of the Lin family's concubines were injured and asked Master Lin to seek an explanation. Master Lin was in a dilemma as to how to keep the family scandal from being exposed and not let people think that the Lin family members were easy to bully.

However, Lin Yiqing told his father that he was the one who set the fire, obviously wanting his father to come forward and kill the Hu family.

How could Mr. Lin never have imagined that it was his son's men who set fire to Nuanxiang Pavilion?

"The Hu family's assets aren't huge, but they're all related to brothels and theaters, and they have close ties with the county government. Didn't you think twice before sending someone to take action?"

"Dad, the Hu family is targeting my people and cutting off the Lin family's financial resources. I'm going to endure it this time, but will they be even more aggressive next time and target your confidants, cutting off even more of the Lin family's financial resources?"

"You have already developed some confidants?" His son's confidants were the servants and servants in Linguang Courtyard. When did he develop some confidants in business?

"Is it that pastry chef?" Mr. Lin already knew that Lin Yiqing's pastry business was indeed a chance he got from a big banquet and started by traveling around the countryside.

"Dad, she is my treasure."

"Oh, it sounds like the stone mine your uncle dug up."

"Really, Dad, she is very important to me."

"That's enough, that's enough." Mr. Lin was in no mood to compete with his son at the moment. There were still people waiting for him to deal with.

"Putting aside other things, you're right about one thing. People who work for our Lin family can't be bullied. Those who cut off our Lin family's financial resources can't be allowed to live in peace."

……

"Hey, hey, hey, have you heard that the two masters of the Lin family turned themselves in at the county government office, saying that they were the ones who set the fire in Nuanxiang Pavilion.

They had gone there to have some fun, but they found several tenant farmers' daughters greeting them in Nuanxiang Pavilion.

The Lin family is generous but strict to their subordinates, and never recruits people from families with prostitutes or gangsters.

"The two Masters Lin, after finding out that these girls were abducted to the Nuanxiang Pavilion, were so angry that they took off their pants and put them back on, wanting to ask the madam for an explanation. They accidentally knocked over the candle in the room, which burned down the Nuanxiang Pavilion."

"Well done! This filthy place has ruined so many good girls! Those who indulge in depravity and enjoy being oppressed don't care, but kidnapping someone's daughter to live in the Nuanxiang Pavilion is a heinous crime..."

"Yes, Master Lin said that they are willing to compensate Nuanxiang Pavilion for its losses. They just need the government to give them an explanation and arrest the owner of Nuanxiang Pavilion. Changjia County will not allow such a wicked person to go unpunished."

Visiting prostitutes and showing benevolence, righteousness and morality is the face that Mr. Lin gave to his two cousins and the Lin family.

Mr. Lin gave each of them two hundred taels of silver as compensation, and asked them to go to the county government office on time every day to work for the county magistrate.

Outside the county government office, there were farmers who had "found" and "couldn't find" their daughters crying and complaining, and He Zhongteng, the magistrate of Changjia County in the county government office, was extremely troubled.

"Hu Xingshun, are you sick? Why would you mess with anyone from the Lin family?"

Mr. Hu hadn't expected the Lin family to make such a big fuss. The Nuanxiang Pavilion burned down, and the Xu family girl ran away. He had thought the Lin family would only hit his business, but who knew it would cost him his life?

The Great Rites Code stipulated that anyone who devised a scheme to abduct or sell a good person into slavery would be punished with 100 strokes of the cane and exiled 3,000 miles. If the person sold the good person as a wife, concubine, or descendant, he would be punished with 100 strokes of the cane and three years' imprisonment. If the abduction and trafficking resulted in injury to another person, the person would be hanged; if it resulted in death, the person would be beheaded. Furthermore, anyone who conspired to abduct or sell a good person into slavery would be punished with 100 strokes of the cane and three years' imprisonment. If the person sold the good person as a wife, concubine, or descendant, he would be punished with 90 strokes of the cane and two and a half years' imprisonment.

The Lin family is accusing him of human trafficking and forcing women of good families into prostitution. This is justice and he should be sentenced to death!

Too bad!

It was even more cruel than when he sent people to Xinshan Village to wipe out the escaped Xu Siyu.

"The Lin family kidnapped the thugs you sent to Xinshan Village and took them to the government office, accusing them of kidnapping women and children! At this time, you still dare to go out and cause trouble?" County Magistrate He really didn't know how to describe this pig-like behavior.

Both the witnesses and the physical evidence were freshly obtained and delivered to people.

Because of a pastry business, his most profitable brothel was gone. Would he dare to ask the Lin family to pay for a new one? He didn't dare.

Not only did he not dare to do so, he also had to come forward to reward the Lin family and appease the good family who was "kidnapped into prostitution". He had to come up with money, and this money could only be paid by Hu Xingshun.
