A yamen runner ran in.

"Sir, the interrogation has already revealed the truth!"

Cui Boxian immediately stood up and said, "Tell the truth."

"The two kidnappers have confessed. They secretly transport the women and children they kidnapped to Zuiyue Tower in the city. Those whose families are not looking for them will be trained and kept at Zuiyue Tower to serve as guests."

Hearing the words "Zuiyue Tower", Yang Feihu and his son Yang Qi clenched their fists and their veins bulged.

They never imagined that the evil kidnapping den was right under their noses.

And they often visit.

Yang Feihu came to discuss business, while Yang Qi came to avoid being idle.

When they thought that if Huo Muyun had not been found today, he would appear in that kind of brothel many years later, forced to entertain customers and be manipulated like a puppet, they felt heartbroken.

They all swore in their hearts that no matter what the reason, they would never go to that kind of place again.

"I'm going to kill the madam of Zuiyue Tower!"

Yang Qi was so angry that he raised his leg to attack, but was stopped by Yang Feihu.

"Stop right there! What are you doing here? The authorities will take care of this matter."

The yamen runner hurriedly said, "Master Cui has already taken people to seal off Zuiyue Tower. Please rest assured!"

Yang Feihu said "good" three times in a row.

"Alright, alright, this unscrupulous place should be shut down. Who knows how many innocent women and children are inside!"

Cui Boxian also hurried to comfort him, "Brother Yang, I understand your feelings. I also hate those kidnappers. But please rest assured, my father will investigate this thoroughly and give an explanation to the people of this city."

Yang Qi sighed helplessly and sat down again.

Yang Feihu bowed and said, "Lord Cui has always loved the people like his own children and has always considered the people. We all trust Lord Cui."

Cui Boxian nodded and continued to question the yamen runner.

"What if there are people in the family looking for it?"

"If Zuiyuelou knew that the one we were looking for was there, they would secretly transport it somewhere else."

Cui Boxian frowned slightly.

"Where are they going?"

“They don’t know that either.”

"It looks like this is a giant net! But it doesn't matter. I believe the people from Zuiyue Tower will know where to go."

After the yamen runner finished his report, he left the room.

Cui Boxian thought that when Cui Xing interrogated the people from Zuiyue Tower, he would also go to listen.

Yang Feihu was very satisfied that the evildoer received the punishment he deserved.

He spoke again, explaining the real purpose of this time.

"Here is a small gift from us. We hope Mr. Cui can pass it on to his benefactor!"

Only then did Cui Boxian notice the box on the ground.

He walked forward, opened it and saw that there was silver inside.

He smiled faintly.

"She won't accept it!"

"Whether the benefactor accepts it or not is his business, and whether we give it or not is our business."

Yang Qi also echoed, "Yes, yes, since Master Cui is acquainted with the benefactor, then please help me pass it on."

Cui Boxian knew the Yang family’s determination and it was difficult to refuse.

But based on his understanding of Su Xiaoxiao, he would never accept so much money.

He took out a silver ingot weighing fifty taels.

"I'll take one and consider it as accepting it for her!"

Yang Feihu walked over and asked, "Isn't this too little?"

"It's not a small amount. Otherwise, even if it's more, I won't be able to explain it. If she gets angry because of this, even I will disappear. Then you won't be able to deliver the fifty taels of silver as a token of your gratitude."

Yang Feihu and his son looked at each other and had to compromise.

Yang Feihu added, "The government has been busy with Mu Yun's affairs. Here are two hundred taels of silver as a small token of our appreciation. I hope Mr. Cui can accept it and buy some food for the officials as a reward."

"This is impossible!"

"Yes, yes! Lord Cui is devoted to the people and is their father and mother. As common people, we should respect him."

Afraid that Cui Boxian would not accept it, Yang Feihu and his son looked at each other again, exchanged glances, and quickly turned around and ran out, not giving Cui Boxian a chance to refuse again.

Yang Feihu almost fell down because he was so heavy.

Cui Boxian didn't expect that the father and son would play this trick, so he quickly reminded them.

"Be careful not to fall!"

Yang Qi turned around and supported Yang Feihu, and they ran away in a hurry.

When Yang Qi returned home, Xiao Ran and Tang Ze were already waiting for him.

When they heard that Huo Muyun was missing, they hurried over to inquire about the situation.

After listening to Yang Qi's explanation of the whole process, and learning that the person who saved Huo Muyun was so low-key that he didn't even want the thousand taels of silver offered to him, they all showed admiration.

Xiao Ran gave a thumbs up.

"This is a real man!"

Tang Ze nodded repeatedly.

"This is the first time I've seen someone who doesn't like silver."

Yang Qi agreed, "Yeah, I'm also curious about what kind of person this is! And she's a woman!"

Xiao Ran stroked his chin and said, "I'll ask someone to check who this person is."

He thought of something and continued, "These stinking kidnappers dared to bully our niece. It's so hateful. We can't just let it go. We have to do something to vent our anger for our niece!"

Yang Qi also had the same idea.

"What good ideas do you have?"

Tang Ze also moved forward curiously.

Xiao Ran said, "Kidnappers can kidnap children, so how about we organize some people to find the kidnappers and catch them to eliminate this harm to the people?"

"I agree!"

"I agree!"

The three men came from wealthy families and spent money like water. It was no problem for them to take some money and organize some people to catch the kidnappers.

Seeing that the two had no objection, Xiao Ran nodded and said, "I will first take 1,000 taels and find someone to organize some manpower. I will have them start the action tomorrow."

Yang Qi disagreed.

"Since this is something we're going to do together, how can we let you pay alone? We'll also contribute 1,000 taels. More money will make things easier!"

Tang Ze agreed.

"That's right, we can't let you pay for it alone, let's count us in!"

The three-person group to catch kidnappers, which was spontaneously organized by the public, was happily established.

The next day, Su Xiaoxiao went to the stall to sell hot dry noodles as usual.

The most heard thing was that Zuiyue Tower in the county town was closed down yesterday.

On the surface, Zuiyuelou is a place of entertainment for people, but in fact, it does a lot of shameful things behind the scenes.

Most of the women in Zuiyue Tower were abducted by kidnappers.

They come from poor backgrounds, most of them from lower-class families.

Due to limited financial resources at home, no one would go to this brothel to spend money, and they had no idea that their daughter was sent here by a ruthless kidnapper, becoming a man's plaything, carrying a lifetime of infamy and unable to raise her head.

But she never heard the news about the little girl being kidnapped yesterday. It seemed that the other party's family was not ordinary and had asked the government to block the news of the missing child, so the people in the city did not know about it.

She didn't say much and just sold her hot dry noodles seriously.

When the items were almost sold out, a deep, steady and magnetic voice sounded.

Su Xiaoxiao just felt like her ears were pregnant!
