In the years of famine, the knife in my mother's hand is not bad either

Shen Qian got off the carriage.

Followed by the maid, she walked step by step to the main entrance.

When the madam saw the noble lady getting off the middle carriage surrounded by soldiers, she immediately came forward.

She begged desperately, almost kneeling down to Shen Qian:

"lady!"

"Madam! You can't allow these soldiers to go in and arrest people!"

"If they go in and kill me without mercy, I won't be able to open this brothel anymore!"

"Besides, the master is a man of some dignity. If this commotion were to happen, it would cause discord in the family, which would be a serious matter!"

Listening to the madam's request and reminder, Shen Qian frowned slightly.

In today's society, it's not a good idea to go in there yourself.

And from what the madam said, it seems like there was a misunderstanding?

I'm not here to arrest a man, I'm here to arrest my son!

"Fifty ingots of gold were lost from my home today."

"I heard that someone instigated him to steal, and now he is spending money in a brothel." Shen Qian spoke up, seriously defining the matter as theft. Telling it to others would definitely sound better than arresting her son.

This statement came out.

Those who were watching the fun suddenly gasped!

"Hiss! Stealing gold from this noble lady's family? That thief is really bold!"

"Just looking at those soldiers makes my calves tremble!"

"Isn't the madam going to stop those people from entering to search now?"

"..."

Even as she was speaking, the madam was still blocking Shen Qian with her body, as if she was determined not to give in.

But he said the softest words:

"Is there a portrait? I'll send a servant inside to tie the man up for Madam, so that Madam's eyes won't be polluted by this filthy place."

"There's no portrait." Shen Qian shook her head, but what she said soon shocked the women:

"But the two brothers look alike, they are twins, very easy to identify!"

"I think these ladies should know where those two are going!"

As soon as she finished speaking, the madam turned her head and saw several people who were avoiding her gaze.

With a big hand, he grabbed them and brought them directly in front of Shen Qian, making them kneel down!

"Say!"

"Where are those two thieves!" The old madam slapped the smooth backs of several people hard, making their backs red!

You can see how strong his hand is.

Some women who were less able to bear the pain burst into tears!

My pitiful look wouldn't work in front of Shen Qian.

Seeing the unhappy look on the face of the noble lady in front of her, the madam shouted again:

"If you don't tell me, you will know the punishment in the woodshed!"

When a timid woman heard the word "woodshed", she fainted from fright.

The few people who were still conscious spoke up one after another, not intending to hide anything:

"In the private room on the second floor!"

"Sister Qingluan brought people up there!"

"There were three people in that group. Besides the twins, there was also a daytime refugee. That's all I know. Mom, please don't lock me up in the woodshed!"

"..."

The wailing sounds were continuous.

The madam bowed to Shen Qian and left.

Run quickly upstairs.

'Dangdangdang!'

The madam's heavy body stepped on the wooden stairs, making muffled sounds.

After going up to the second floor, the madam's slightly plump body began to gasp for breath.

"Qingluan!"

"Qingluan!" The madam called out twice on the second floor. Qingluan and several other women who were discussing the distribution of gold ingots in the room were all stunned.

Look of surprise:

"Sister Qingluan, is it Mommy calling you?"

"I guess I heard it right, Sister Qingluan, go quickly!"

The young sisters chatted with each other and pushed Qingluan to stand up.

When she reached the door, Qingluan pulled it gently and the door opened.

He jumped up and looked towards the source of the sound.

He made eye contact with his mother at first sight.

"Qingluan!" the madam called out loudly:

"Where are the guests you brought up here?"

"Take them away quickly!"

"They've been caught, and they've brought soldiers to our door!"

When Qingluan heard the madam mention the three guests, she never expected that they were worthy of the nobleman bringing soldiers to visit them?

"Mom, what happened?" Qingluan asked in confusion, but she gestured to the sisters inside to help Wang You, Wang Liang and Wang Laizi up.

"They said they stole fifty gold ingots." As the madam finished speaking, Qingluan's body softened.

Almost fell to the ground.

With a loud bang.

The gold ingot that was bumped into Qingluan's sleeve fell out directly.

Looking at the huge gold nugget on the ground, the madam's eyes widened!

"How dare you accept this kind of gold ingot?" the madam shouted.

"Don't die!"

"We're not redeeming a prostitute, who would bring such a large lump of gold to a brothel?"

Scolded by the madam, Qingluan struggled to kneel on the ground, banging her head on the ground and trembling.

She was worried just now that such a large gold ingot was not something a farmer could take out.

Sure enough...as I expected, this was stolen by those three guys!

hateful!

Got fooled!

Thinking of this, Qingluan quickly got up from the ground, entered the private room, and slapped Wang You and Wang Liang, who were drunk and asleep, twice!

'Snapped! '

'Snapped! '

The two men were slapped, but due to the alcohol, they only gave a simple reaction and did not wake up immediately.

Wang You even smacked his lips and continued to sleep soundly.

"Take them away!" The old madam watched Qingluan beating people but did not interfere. Instead, she asked the other women to carry them away.

Wang Laizi's legs were weak at this moment!

He heard everything Qingluan and the madam said clearly.

There are foreign soldiers in the brothel!

Wait for them to be carried out and handed over to the soldiers.

For a moment, Wang Laizi's body was limp and his mind was confused.

After going down a flight of stairs, he finally realized what was happening and shouted loudly:

"I didn't steal it!"

"Wang You, Wang Liang and the others stole it. I was bewitched and came here!"

"Why did you arrest me? Let me go!"

Wang Laizi said this and twisted hard.

He broke free from the two women's hands.

The body rolled downwards uncontrollably.

'Bang, bang!'

"Catch him!" the madam shouted to the servant downstairs.

Upon hearing the madam's order, the servants rushed towards Wang Laizi with all their might.

Before he could get up from the ground, three servants rushed up and pinned him to the ground.

Press it down tightly.

Wang Laizi was crushed so hard that he screamed and begged for mercy!

"Take it to the lady at the door!"

As the madam spoke, Wang You, Wang Liang, and Wang Laizi were brought before Shen Qian.

Wang Laizi was originally terrified.

But when he saw that the person coming was Shen Qian, his face suddenly showed joy:

"Aunt! It's me!"

"Laizi!"

"It was stolen by your brother You and brother Liang. It has nothing to do with me!"

"My mother called me home for dinner. Could you please ask them to let me go first?"

Facing Wang Laizi's defense, Shen Qian frowned slightly.

This guy seems to have forgotten that he had caused trouble for me many times before?

Now that it's in my hands, you still want me to show mercy?

Not to mention that as soon as he opened his mouth, he exposed the relationship between Wang You, Wang Liang and himself to everyone.

Thinking about this, Shen Qian said to the madam:

"Let him spend the night in the woodshed, and then release him before dawn tomorrow."
