However, since there is a doubt in the heart, it must be solved as soon as possible.

So, he forced himself to calm down and said to Chao Gai: "Chao City Lord, these women are whining, singing a little irritating, let's let them stand down." I have a few friends who know each other well, and when they heard that I was coming and wanted to sing in the church, I might as well let them come in and sing. ”

When Chao Gai heard this, he didn't dare to disobey, and immediately blasted out the four official prostitutes and asked, "My lord, where are your friends from the singing hall now?" ”

"It's right outside the door of the State Guest House, and your people won't let them in." Zhang Xuan responded coldly.

He had already told the Crane Demon to come with Gu Xiaoyi and the others through his divine thoughts, and had already sensed the location of the Crane Demon.

Chao Gai didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly ordered his subordinates to go to the door of the guest house to invite Gu Xiaoyi and the others in.

After a while, Gu Xiaoyi and others came in with gongs and drums.

Zhang Xuan hurriedly got up, greeted Gu Xiaoyi, Lai Da and others one by one, and then returned to his seat and said, "Brother Xiaoyi, start singing!" ”

Chao Gai and other Liancheng officials saw that Zhang Xuan respected Gu Xiaoyi and the others like him, and they couldn't help but change their contempt for Gu Xiaoyi and the others, and their expressions suddenly became solemn.

Gu Xiaoyi nodded at Zhang Xuan and sang with his companions, but the scene was the sad "Tears of the Barren Mountain".

After singing, Zhang Xuan offered a large amount of reward, and praised them again and again for singing well.

Seeing this, Chao Gai and other Liancheng officials also had to endure their distress and offer a generous reward.

After Gu Xiaoyi and the others left, Chao Gai asked, "My lord, which troupe are these friends from, why haven't I seen them?" The five-pointed opera they sang, ah, was originally called Siping opera, but it was very presentable. ”

Zhang Xuan's face was angry, and he said: "Hmph, it's just such a group of people who sing well, but they were forced to change their careers!" ”

"Huh?" "Who forced them to change their careers?" Why are they forced to change careers? ”

"I just learned that it turned out to be the sin of that damn Siping!" Zhang Xuan said angrily, "That damn guy thinks that the name Siping Opera offends his reputation, so he forced various troupes to change Siping Opera to Wujian Opera, and my friends insisted on not changing it, so they were ordered to disband and not continue to sing." ”

"In this way, the former city lord Siping is really not like words!" Chao Gai said, "Since ancient times, the small opera here has always been called Siping Opera, and the name of the former city lord Siping appeared much later than the name of the opera, how can it be possible to force the name of the opera to change and force the singers to change their careers?" ”

"That guy is really hateful, if he was still here, I might kill him in a fit of rage!" Zhang Xuan said, "This group of people is very pitiful, they are living on odd jobs at the moment, and they have no food and clothing, as the city lord, you have the responsibility to set things right and support them." ”

"Don't worry, my lord, the lower officials will definitely help them recover the troupe, and introduce them to performance resources, so that they can become a well-known troupe." Chao Gai Shuangli should be inherited.

"Also, let me ask you, how is that rich man in Liancheng, Tong Million, now?" Zhang Xuan asked.

"Isn't the adult having something to do with Tong Million? According to Xiaguan's understanding, Tong Million died at the beginning of this year. Chao Gai responded.

"Dead?" Zhang Xuan was surprised when he heard this, "How did he die, and what is the current situation of his wives and concubines?" ”

"My lord, according to the legend, Tong Million was killed because of his son Tong Guan, and his wife made a fuss at home every day, which made him unsafe and jumped into the river in a fit of anger." Chao Gai responded, "As for his wives and concubines, his original partner Lun is still alive, and his five-room concubine either eloped with someone secretly or was sold into prostitution by Lun, and now none of them are gone." ”

After hearing this, Zhang Xuan decided that the official prostitute who looked like Xiaoqin was actually Xiaoqin. Xiaoqin married Tong Million, did not enjoy any happiness, first was bullied by Tong Guan, and after Tong Million's death, she was sold into the prostitution by the Lun family, but she suffered too much that she should not suffer, and she was very pitiful. As a fellow villager, he must rescue Xiaoqin from the sea of suffering.

Chao Gai saw Zhang Xuan's brows tightened, as if he faintly realized something, and asked, "My lord, you and Tong Million-"

"Ah, Tong Wanwan's fifth-room concubine, named Mi Xiaoqin, grew up in the same village as me." Zhang Xuan said, "That Mi Xiaoqin has always been honest and dutiful, and will not cheat or elope with others, and it is very likely that she will be sold into prostitution by the unscrupulous Lun family." If this is the case, then it is forcing the good to become a prostitute, and the sin is unforgivable. This matter, I will sit and wait for the results for the next few days, and you will arrange someone to handle it. ”

When Chao Gai heard this, he immediately looked embarrassed and said, "My lord, Xia Guan has just been in office for a few months, and he doesn't know anything about these things. If the Lun family really forced Liang to become a prostitute, it would be a violation of the criminal law, and the lower officials would never spare her! In any case, the lower officials will give you a satisfactory explanation. ”

After the banquet, Chao Gai did not dare to slack off, and immediately instructed Storm Shi and others face-to-face, ordering them to deal with the matter.

The Lun family sold Tong Wanyi's concubine into the prostitution family, fearing that the government would investigate her responsibility for forcing her to become a prostitute, so he quietly gave Storm Shi and others certain benefits. Storm Stone got the benefit of the Lun clan, so he pretended not to know about it. Now, Zhang Xuan brought up this old matter again, in view of Zhang Xuan's noble status and the right to life and death, he did not dare to fool with a violent stone, so he quickly arrested Lun and beat her to a hundred faints, forcing her to confess. At the same time, someone found Xiaoqin, relocated her to the Tong family, and instructed the family members who served the Lun family to serve her well.

Xiaoqin was reborn in difficulty, but she didn't know that this was Zhang Xuan's doing, so she sat at home and prayed silently, thanking Zhang Xuan for his kindness.

She met Zhang Xuan as an official prostitute at the banquet, and she was quite surprised in her heart, but because the identities of both parties were extremely special, she did not make a move to ask for help. She has fallen into the dust and has become a slut who is abandoned by everyone, even if she asks for help, Zhang Xuan may not be willing to take care of her. Instead of asking for help, you can avoid undue embarrassment, even though the meeting between the two parties on that occasion is itself an awkwardness.

Fortunately, Zhang Xuan got out of these official prostitutes in time, otherwise, he would most likely not be able to bear the continuous embarrassment.

Now, she finally realized that Zhang Xuan was silent on the surface, but he actually cared about her in his heart. rescued her so quickly, which shows that Zhang Xuan cares deeply about her.

She originally thought that she would sink forever, and she would never be able to face her family in this life and this life, but she didn't expect Zhang Xuan to pull her out of the sea of suffering so quickly.

Seeing that even the city lord Chao Gai was smiling in front of Zhang Xuan, she decided that Zhang Xuan's power was greater than that of the city lord, and as long as Zhang Xuan was there, no one would dare to continue to bully her from now on.

When the Yigan family saw that Lun's was arrested and put in prison and Xiaoqin took Lun's place, they all felt inexplicable, but because the storm stone repeatedly told them to serve Xiaoqin well, no one dared to insult Xiaoqin.

Lun, who has always been fierce, was tortured to extract a confession, but insisted on being fierce to the end, not only did not admit his crime, but instead climbed the violent stone indiscriminately, claiming that everything he did was instructed by the violent stone.

In a fit of rage, Storm Stone ordered his subordinates to beat Lun to death, declaring that Lun committed suicide in fear of crime.

The next afternoon, Chao Gai brought the storm stone to report Xiaoqin's matter to Zhang Xuan.

Zhang Xuan listened to the results, the anger in his heart did not subside, and he said hatefully: "Hmph, in this way, it is cheaper to buy that unscrupulous Lun slut!" ”

Storm Stone answered: "My lord, the Lun clan naturally died innocently, but they also received the corresponding retribution. Although you have endured a period of humiliation, the final result is very satisfying, and you have inherited a family business that is still self-explanatory. ”
