Only after being reborn did I realize that I was the white moonlight of a powerful minister.

Li Ermao and his group were regulars at the brothel. When the madam saw them, she immediately greeted them with a smile and invited them inside, saying, "Master Er, it's been a long time since you've come. I was even thinking of sending a girl to look for you."

"You think you're so good at business? Do you have any virgins today?" Li Ermao grinned lewdly.

The madam immediately understood what Li Ermao meant and hesitated, "Yes, there is, but he hasn't been properly trained yet, and I'm afraid he might hurt Master Er."

"The more fiery a virgin, the more I like her!" Li Ermao tossed a silver ingot to the madam, who immediately beamed and personally led Li Ermao to her room.

Those who came with Li Ermao were taken to other rooms.

"Please sit for a moment, Second Master. I'll have someone bring some wine and food, and prepare a girl for you right away." The madam closed the door and immediately gave the orders. Li Er Mao had been very generous today; he must have made some money. She had to serve him well. She called over a pimp and said, "Go and take the girl we bought yesterday to Second Master's room. Remember to tie her hands and feet so she doesn't hurt you."

The madam couldn't afford to offend someone like Li Ermao; he had powerful backers.

The pimp laughed and said yes, and took two men to carry the girl to Li Ermao's room.

Li Ermao drank two glasses of wine, clicked his tongue, and said, "You tied him up like a dead pig, how am I supposed to play with him?"

"But Second Master..."

"Let her go. Do you think I'm afraid of a woman?" Li Ermao glanced at the woman's face. "Not bad looking. Where did your mother get this girl?"

The pimp smiled obsequiously, "I bought her from the estate. Her father was a scholar, and I heard he could even read. But unfortunately, he's an unreliable man who loves to drink and is heavily in debt, so I had no choice but to sell her. Second Master, this girl has a very fiery temper, so please be careful."

"Go away, stop babbling. She's just a girl, what can she do to me?" Li Ermao pushed the girl out. When he turned around, the girl was kneeling on the bed begging for mercy, asking him to let her go. "Let you go? Once you're in the Wan Hua Lou, even if you go back, no one will dare to take you. You'd better serve me well, and I might give you a little more reward money."

As he spoke, Li Ermao pounced on the girl like a hungry tiger, but unexpectedly, she was quite fierce and bit his ear hard.

Hearing Li Ermao's scream, the pimp outside pushed open the door and went in. Li Ermao yelled at him, "Get the hell out of here! Didn't I tell you, I can handle this!"

If he can't even handle a virgin, how will Li Ermao ever make a living in the underworld if word gets out?

He slapped the girl twice, saying, "You dare to bite my ear? You really asked for trouble!"

As he spoke, he ripped open the girl's clothes, but despite her resistance, he kissed her.

Before he could even kiss the girl, a sword suddenly pierced through his back.

Looking down at the blood flowing down the sword, Li Ermao finally felt the excruciating pain. "Who...who is it?"

The person who came was masked. Before Li Ermao could call for help, he drew his sword and stabbed Li Ermao in the heart, killing him instantly.

The girl on the bed was terrified. If the masked man hadn't pulled her away, she wouldn't have been able to react. It was the first time she had ever seen a dead person, and her legs were trembling with fear. She was carried out on someone's back.

The other two rooms met the same fate; by the time the madam and the pimp realized something was wrong, it was already the next morning.

Because Li Ermao didn't like being disturbed while doing his business, the madam assumed the girl had fainted, which was why there was no response from inside the room. It wasn't until the next morning, when there was still no movement, that a pimp finally mustered the courage to push open the door a crack. He was horrified to see the bloodstained bedding on the bed and the corpse on the floor, and screamed in terror.

Li Ermao and his two henchmen were all dead. Not only them, but all the kidnappers that Li Ermao employed were also killed overnight.

When the county magistrate arrived with his men, they were shocked. The abducted people had run away, leaving only the gruesome corpses of the victims.
