Li Chengye had no choice but to continue discussing the Tanxiang Pavilion with Su Ye in the courtyard.
Li Chengye knew that Su Ye would not let him go easily, so he had no choice but to deal with it.
"Prime Minister Su, I have nothing to hide about the Tanxiang Pavilion, why bother me late at night?"
Li Chengye tried to answer calmly.
Su Ye smiled slightly and said:
"Master Li, do you know why Tanxiang Pavilion's business is so booming? That's because someone is behind the scenes."
Li Chengye's expression changed. He didn't expect that this matter would attract Su Ye's attention.
"What advice does Prime Minister Su have?" Li Chengye asked, but he was already on guard.
Su Ye's purpose was to buy time for Jin Yiwei's search. He went around in circles and said:
"Master Li, in recent years, Dayan's business has been prosperous and people's livelihood has been prosperous, but there are some lawless people behind the scenes who are taking advantage of business opportunities to make huge profits. Tanxiang Pavilion is just the tip of the iceberg. I watched the sky at night and felt that this matter was not trivial, so I went there late at night. Come and discuss with Mr. Li.”
Su Ye's tone was serious and his eyes were as bright as fire.
Li Chengye sneered in his heart, it seemed that the legendary Su Ye in white was nothing more than that.
The business profiteering and watching the sky at night are nothing but mysteries.
As long as he doesn't realize that he is involved in this matter, then he doesn't need to worry.
Li Chengye thought for a moment and then said:
"What Prime Minister Su said is true. The Tanxiang Pavilion matter is indeed full of doubts. I will definitely pay close attention to this matter and bring the lawbreakers to justice."
Su Ye nodded and said:
"Since Mr. Li said so, I feel relieved. However, this matter needs to be investigated as soon as possible to prevent the people from being innocently implicated. Does Mr. Li have any clues?"
Li Chengye looked like he was thinking, frowned and said:
"There are no conclusive clues yet, but I believe that as long as Prime Minister Su and I work together, we will be able to get to the bottom of it."
Su Ye nodded, looking past the hypocritical Li Chengye into the depths of the mansion.
In the mansion at this time.
Mo Yi hid his whereabouts and secretly searched Li Chengye's mansion with his royal guards.
The door to the darkroom was closed, but the inhumane behavior caused the girls' cries of pain to be faintly heard.
Mo Yi frowned, becoming more and more certain that Li Chengye must have a major secret.
He signaled the Jinyi guards to proceed with caution, followed the direction of the sound, and quietly approached the closed room.
Outside the room door, Mo Yi discussed countermeasures with the Jinyi guards.
They must rescue the trapped girl as soon as possible while avoiding arousing Li Chengye's suspicion.
Mo Yi arranged for several capable Jinyi guards to be on standby outside the door.
Once they took action, they quickly controlled Li Chengye's men.
The other Jin Yiwei sneaked into the room with him and rescued the trapped girl.
The plan was decided, Mo Yi led Jin Yiwei to carefully open the door.
I saw several girls locked up with iron chains in the room.
His body was covered in blood and scars, and he was struggling in pain.
Li Chengye's men stood around, holding whips and torture instruments, looking at these helpless girls fiercely.
A trace of anger flashed in Mo's eyes. Seeing that the time had come, he decisively ordered:
"Do it!"
In an instant, the Jinyi guards who sneaked into the room took action like lightning and subdued Li Chengye's men.
The girls who were originally frightened suddenly felt alive after seeing Mo Yi and others.
Mo Yi quickly untied the girls' chains and rescued them from the predicament.
The girls who had been tortured for many days were unable to walk steadily and could only be moved slowly with the help of the royal guards.
Mo Yize came to the courtyard and blew a whistle.
The whistle pierced the silent night sky, startling the birds in the nearby woods and flying in all directions.
This is exactly the signal Mo Yi and Su Ye agreed upon!
The whistle also alarmed Li Chengye, and he looked in the direction from which the whistle came in surprise.
No, I fell into the trap of luring the tiger away from the mountain!
When Li Chengye found out what had happened, he became furious:
"Su Ye, how dare you lie to me!"
With that said, he took out the sword from his waist and stabbed Su Ye.
Even if he dies, he still has someone to support him!
Su Ye, dressed in white, looked calmly at the approaching sword.
He did not panic, but calmly turned to one side and avoided Li Chengye's attack.
With his wrist flying, Su Ye instantly counterattacked and grabbed Li Chengye's sword-holding hand.
Li Chengye didn't expect Su Ye to be so skilled, so he panicked and tried to break free.
However, Su Ye's strength was so great that he could not move.
With just one blow, Li Chengye was subdued by Su Ye.
At this time, Mo Yi led the Jin Yiwei out of the room and surrounded Li Chengye.
When Li Chengye saw this, he knew that he would not be able to escape today, and he felt desperate.
"Li Chengye, do you know your guilt?" Su Ye looked at him coldly.
Li Chengye's face turned pale, knowing that he could not deny it, so he knelt down slumped on the ground.
Su Ye waved his hand and asked the Jin Yiwei to take Li Chengye away.
The Jin Yiwei escorted Li Chengye back to the Prime Minister's Mansion, and at the same time placed the rescued girls in a safe place.
These girls have been tortured for a long time, have suffered great physical and mental damage, and are in urgent need of treatment.
Su Ye himself, disguised as Li Chengye, returned to Tanxiang Pavilion.
The girl in Li Chengye's mansion is just the tip of the iceberg, and the real evil deeds continue in Tanxiang Pavilion.
This matter must be thoroughly investigated and the crime exposed to the world to prevent more innocent people from being implicated.
Su Ye aggressively led his people to surround Tanxiang Pavilion so tightly that not even a fly could fly out.
A group of royal guards broke into Tanxiang Pavilion, and many guests were frightened beyond belief.
The Pavilion Master who succeeded Sister Qiao came up to him and said with a flattering smile:
"Master Li, what do you mean?"
Su Ye said in an extremely cold tone:
"Take me to see those women."
The master of the pavilion did not dare to neglect and immediately led Su Ye to the deepest part of Tanxiang Pavilion, where the kidnapped woman was hidden in the cellar.
The air in the small, dark cellar was filled with the smell of musty and sweat.
What's even more frightening is that dozens of women are huddled together, shivering.
Their clothes were ragged and their faces were full of fear. When they saw Su Ye and others, a trace of despair flashed in their eyes.
Su Ye looked at the scene in the cellar coldly, with burning eyes.
Even though he was as calm as he was, he couldn't help but feel his blood rising, and his anger was beyond words.
He suppressed the anger in his heart and ordered to the Jin Yiwei beside him:
"Rescue all these women and place them properly to ensure their safety."
Su Ye's voice was deep and angry, like a roaring lion:
"Everyone in Tanxiang Pavilion has been arrested and brought to justice!"
Following Su Ye's order, the Jinyi guards acted quickly.
Rescue the women in the cellar one by one and subdue everyone in the Tanxiang Pavilion.
The once prosperous Sandalwood Pavilion is now a mess.
Su Ye left Tanxiang Pavilion with anger and exposed the crime to the world.
The No. 1 brothel in Yanjing City turned out to be a den where girls from good families were kidnapped.
This case shocked the entire Yan Kingdom.
The imperial court and the people on the streets were all shocked by this shocking scandal.
