Jiang Yichun was obviously more free and easy-going than her, so he just said this to reassure her.

"We're just working hard. Let's go and go out to inquire." Bai Ruozhu shrugged.

Jiang Yichun smiled and took her hand, "Let's go, I just want to take a walk to eat."

In the evening, every household closed its doors, and the shops facing the street also stopped going to work, and the shopkeepers packed up and prepared to close.

The main people who went to inquire were the servants of Fangzi and Huizi's family. The guards sent by Bai Ruozhu and others could not speak Fusang dialect, and ordinary people were not proficient in Central Plains dialect, so communication was very difficult.

Bai Ruozhu picked a few shops and asked. She could speak some Fuso dialect, which made the other party know what she was asking. Unfortunately, after asking the shopkeepers at several shops, they all said they had not noticed the two girls Bai Ruozhu described.

"I saw it. It's in the Liulu Hall over there." The young man pointed to a place in the distance that was full of entertainment and entertainment. Bai Ruozhu's heart skipped a beat. Could it be a brothel?

Was he taken to a brothel?

This is serious, no matter what happens or not, it will affect the reputation of the two girls.

Bai Ruozhu and Jiang Yichun did not dare to delay any longer and rushed directly towards the nearby Liulu Hall.

When I arrived, I saw several girls in kimono smiling at passers-by. When someone came in, a girl immediately stepped forward and pulled the person's arm, acting very affectionately. It was obvious that this was really a brothel!

Considering the reputation of Fangzi and Huizi, and the two of them not being able to cause a quarrel, Bai Ruozhu had no choice but to say to a small girl next to him: "Where is your boss? I have business to discuss with him."

The girl looked Bai Ruozhu up and down. She probably thought it was very strange for a woman to come to a brothel, and said unhappily: "Who are you? Meeting our boss when you say you want to meet our boss? The boss is not free!"

Bai Ruozhu took out a Fuso bank note and threw it to her, saying, "You missed the opportunity to make money by calling your boss, let's see how your boss deals with you!"

Perhaps she was shocked by Bai Ruozhu's temperament, or Bai Ruozhu's tone was too determined, or simply Bai Ruozhu's generosity, the girl quickly collected the banknotes and led them in.

"You guys sit down first, I'll go and invite the boss soon." After the girl said that, she winked at Jiang Yichun, then twisted her waist and left.

Jiang Yichun's face was so cold that it almost froze, and he said displeasedly: "If I hadn't been with you, I would never have come to a place like this."

"Hey, is this a sign of loyalty?" Bai Ruozhu raised an eyebrow.

Jiang Yichun gritted his teeth and said, "It's not disgusting enough."

Soon, footsteps were heard outside, and a chubby Fuso man walked in.

When he saw Bai Ruozhu's appearance clearly, his face almost turned into a smile.

Jiang Yichun glared at him fiercely and said, "Did anyone sell a girl to you today?"

"Are you from the Central Plains?" The boss was startled. Bai Ruozhu stepped forward and put a dagger on his neck, and then said in Fusang language: "It's time you heard about our identities. We just kill a lot of people." Nothing will happen, but we just want to find someone today, so that it can be convenient for the boss and for ourselves."

The boss was so frightened that he almost screamed, but when Jiang Yichun gave him a murderous look, the sound in his throat stopped abruptly.

"S-Sir, if you have anything to do, just ask me."

"I want to ask you, did anyone sell a girl here today? Where is he?" Bai Ruozhu repeated it again.

"Yes, there is a country girl, and she is in the backyard right now." The boss said.

Bai Ruozhu kicked him fiercely, "Nonsense, someone clearly saw you taking in two girls. Where are they?"

The boss was so frightened that his legs went weak and he knelt on the ground, "I really didn't lie to you. There was only one country girl. Her father was sick and she was sold here. There is no one else. There was a girl who went out for shopping today, but they were all The girl who has stayed with us for a long time."

He didn't say that he wouldn't let newcomers go out.

Bai Ruozhu and Jiang Yichun looked at each other. Could it be that the guy from before got the wrong person?

The two took the boss to the backyard and saw the girl who had just been sold. The girl was frightened and had some skin on her forehead. When she saw the boss, she hid aside in fear. It was obvious that she had been abused before.

I heard that no one new to a place like this would accept customers, and the boss wouldn't let her do anything. He would just beat, scold, abuse, and deny food to torture her will, so as to force the woman to fall into decline little by little. He even had a shadow in his heart from then on, never daring to betray his boss.

Bai Ruozhu felt a little soft-hearted and took out a banknote, "Where is her deed of sale? I redeemed her body."

"This..." The boss was a little unwilling. He wanted to earn more, but Bai Ruozhu's dagger moved. He felt a sting in his neck, and then liquid flowed down. He was bleeding!

Now the boss didn't dare to bargain and said hurriedly: "Okay, okay, I'll take her deed of sale right now."

Not long after, the boss came over with the woman's deed of prostitution. Bai Ruozhu helped the woman up and led her out of the Willow Green Hall.

"Okay, you go home. Don't end up in that place again." Bai Ruozhu said to the woman in Fusang dialect.

The woman suddenly knelt down and kowtowed at her three times.

"Thank you to my benefactor for saving my life, but I can't go home. My father said he sold me because he needed medical treatment. In fact, he was injured while gambling and owed gambling debts. He sold me to pay off the gambling debts. But he didn't know how to do it at all. If I correct myself, sooner or later I will lose all my money and sell me. I don’t want to go to that place again. Please ask my benefactor to let me serve you.”

The woman was afraid that Bai Ruozhu would not agree, so she hurriedly said: "I can do many things, I can cook and wash clothes. Please take me in."

Bai Ruozhu was a little worried. She sympathized with this woman, but she was not the Holy Mother White Lotus. It was impossible to bring someone with her who didn't know the details at this time, not to mention what happened to Lingzi before.

She thought about it, she should save the whole person, otherwise she would be sold to a brothel, wouldn't her life be in vain?

"We are not from Fuso. We will leave soon. I will arrange for you to work at my friend's house." Bai Ruozhu plans to arrange for you to work at the astrology house. There is no need for special care. You can just be a rough maid. At least you can keep the woman. Have a meal.

"Okay, thank you so much." The woman kowtowed again.

Bai Ruozhu immediately found a guard and asked someone to take the woman to an astrologer, while she and Jiang Yichun continued to inquire about the whereabouts of Fangzi and Masako.

Soon, the two of them arrived at a small night market. Bai Ruozhu saw a stall selling ramen, walked over and asked, "Uncle, did you see two ladies passing by here this afternoon? They are about this high."

She made some gestures and mentioned the colors and styles of Yoshiko and Aki's clothes.

"He is a night market stall. He doesn't come out during the day. What's the use of asking him?" said a customer eating noodles next to him.
