Funing County.
In the cabin of the big ship.
Hua Fan looked at the young man in front of him in shock.
"Sir, you..."
Hua Fan stretched out his hand to cover his mouth, not daring to continue talking.
She thought she had a bad fate and would have to live with an overseas businessman from now on.
Unexpectedly, the true identity of this overseas businessman turned out to be such a handsome young man, which made her heart beat faster.
"Hua Fan, I won't hide it from you. My real identity is Luo Xingchen, the admiral of the Imperial Navy... I will arrange for someone to take you to the capital. From now on, you can just follow the arrangement." Luo Xingchen said calmly.
"Thank you, sir." She bowed before her fan, what else could she say? A weak woman, the contract of prostitution is in the hands of others, and she has no control over her own destiny.
Just like a duckweed, it floats wherever the wind blows.
Suddenly, Luo Xingchen took out a piece of paper from his sleeve.
"Look, is this your contract of sale?"
Hua Fan was slightly stunned. She glanced at it and said, "Sir, this is the slave's contract of sale."
"In the future, when you are free, when you return to the capital, I will ask Mr. Shen to sign a fair contract with you instead of this kind of contract of betrayal."
A gentle smile appeared on Luo Xingchen's face. He raised his hand and tore the rendition contract into pieces.
Hua Fan, who had his head lowered, looked up, and his face was already filled with tears.
…
on deck.
Luo Xingchen held his hands on the railing and looked at the rolling green mountains in the distance.
The big ship was traveling, but it was not following its original route. Instead, it changed its direction and turned into a tributary.
"Sir, why are you so nice to the painting fan? You tore up the contract of betrayal, aren't you afraid that the painting fan will escape secretly?" Mo Anbai stood nearby, his hair was rolled up by the wind, and part of it fell on his face, making him Only half of her face was exposed, and there was a hint of resentment in her eyes.
"She won't run away. I'm very good at judging people, so I still have some good sense."
Luo Xingchen paused, then continued: "Even if she wants to escape, she can't escape. Can she escape from the camp?"
"If she can really escape, then let's escape. She is a person with an independent will, not an object. What's more, I got it for free."
"Sir, that fifty thousand taels of silver?" Mo Anbai asked.
"Sooner or later it will be back in my hands, and some people will help me get it back." The corners of Luo Xingchen's lips raised.
His money is not that easy to get.
…
Outside Chunfeng Tower.
A team of policemen surrounded Chunfeng Tower.
Chief catcher Wang Qian personally led the team here.
"The magistrate has said that if we get the stolen money this time, we will all be rewarded." Wang Qian was riding a horse, holding a standard waist knife in his hand and scanning the front.
Those detectives rushed in regardless of how the Madam and the Turtles from Chunfeng Tower cried.
After a moment of commotion, a policeman walked out quickly holding a wooden box.
"Boss, the stolen goods have been found. The harvest is not small."
The catcher looked excited.
"Take a bunch of people back to the Yamen."
The chief arrester, Wang Qian, waved his palm in the air and urged the horses vigorously.
He had long disliked Chunfeng Tower.
He once again wanted to come to Chunfeng Tower to have fun, but he didn't expect that the old madam disliked him for being a poor policeman who only got a salary. His dog-like look looked down on others, which made him always hold a grudge in his heart.
In the past, there was someone on Chunfeng Tower, and the madam had a backing in the county, so no one in Funing County dared to touch her.
The situation is different now. It is said that Chunfeng Tower's backstage in Linze City has collapsed.
So, what should the county government of Funing County be afraid of?
The county magistrate gave the order and immediately captured the Chunfeng Tower and others.
Maybe Chunfeng Tower will be reopened in the future, but it will definitely have to change its owner, and the current group of people will definitely be unlucky.
The chief catcher, Wang Qian, felt a sense of revenge. He rode forward with great satisfaction. He stopped midway and checked his bag again. The wooden box inside was intact, so that was all.
The wooden box was requested by the magistrate, so there was no room for loss.
Having been the chief catcher for many years, he is clear about these official matters.
Returning to the county government office, Wang Qian met the county magistrate Wan Renfei.
"Where's the box?" Wan Renfei was writing when he heard footsteps and looked up.
"I'm telling you, my lord, this is a humbling job, and the box has been brought back."
The chief arrester, Wang Qian, was a confidant of Wan Renfei, the county magistrate. It was Wan Renfei's credit for being promoted to the post in the early years.
Because of their close relationship, he didn't need to notify him when he entered the magistrate's study.
He took out the box and placed it on the desk in front of Wan Renfei.
"No one has ever opened the lock on this box, right?" Wan Renfei said slowly.
"No, sir, after I got this box, I hurriedly delivered it to you."
Immediately, the chief catcher Wang Qian took out a key and put it on the table.
"I forgot to take the key. This is the key to the box."
Wan Renfei picked up the key and opened the box easily.
He had long known that the Madam of Chunfeng Tower had a treasured box, which contained her most important things.
But for Chunfenglou Madam, nothing is more important than money.
What was in the box were the large-denomination banknotes she exchanged. They were all banknotes issued by the Royal Bank and could be taken out for circulation at any time.
Sure enough, his guess was right.
After opening the box, there were neatly stacked banknotes inside.
The top one is a 10,000-tael silver note!
It is conceivable that the following should all be ten thousand taels.
Because the highest denomination of the banknotes produced by Royal Bank is ten thousand taels, and there is nothing higher than this.
Wan Renfei gulped.
He looked hesitant.
With so much silver, I'm afraid it's hundreds of thousands of taels.
Do you really want to hand it all over?
After hesitating for a while, he finally made up his mind.
He can't keep this money!
Unless he kills all the people who know the exact number, including the madam.
But this is impossible.
If he kills the madam without authorization...
As soon as the madam dies, someone will immediately catch him.
What's more, among the people guarding the old bustard, there were hidden guards from the imperial court.
Could it be that she could still kill the hidden guards of the imperial court?
Thinking of this, Wan Renfei closed the lid of the box and locked it again.
Everything inside is indispensable.
…
The big ship stopped for half a day.
Half a day later, a small boat caught up from behind.
Two things someone sent me.
One of them is a box.
The other thing is a person who is tightly tied up and in a comatose state.
"Sir, what's in this box?"
Mo Anbai only asked about the box, not the person, because the person was someone she knew, Wei Shuo from the Wei family.
"You'll know if you open it."
Luo Xingchen smiled slightly.
