Transmigrated into a farmer's lucky charm, all the villains in the family panicked.
Chapter 289 Surrounding Wangxian Tower
As soon as Yun Shengsheng and his entourage's carriage came to a stop in front of the county government office, Magistrate Sun, having heard the news, rushed out to greet them, his official robes billowing in the air, a smile plastered on his face.
It's no wonder he was so attentive; anyone with connections in the capital knows who Yun Shengsheng is.
Although she was only five years old, she was still a county princess, a second-rank official, and had a fiefdom.
The young girl is a companion to the Crown Prince, an adopted daughter of the Duke of Anguo's family, and has three important masters.
With these abilities, Yun Shengsheng could roam freely in Yongmen Pass.
As the county magistrate, Magistrate Sun naturally knew that Yun Shengsheng had come to their county long ago. He had wanted to visit her several times, but had never had the opportunity. He never expected that Yun Shengsheng would take the initiative to come to his door.
"Your Highness, it is an honor to have you here! I have failed to greet you properly!"
Yun Shengsheng dressed up nicely today in order to get things done smoothly.
The clothes and accessories he wore were all very expensive and classy, clearly indicating that he came from a wealthy family.
As the saying goes, people tend to flatter the powerful and belittle the weak; they respect the clothes before they judge the person.
Therefore, she inevitably resorts to bullying others when she has the power to do so.
As she stepped down from the carriage, she immediately drew gasps of amazement from Magistrate Sun, the yamen runners, and the passing commoners.
What an exquisite and beautiful fairy!
Yun Shengsheng stood in front of Magistrate Sun. Although he was not tall, he had a strong presence.
"Magistrate Sun, you're too kind. I'm the one who's bothering you!"
"I've come to the government office today because I have something to ask of you!"
Magistrate Sun repeatedly said he dared not accept such praise, and bowed as he invited Yun Shengsheng and her entourage into the back room, where he personally brewed tea.
Yun Shengsheng didn't beat around the bush with him.
"Magistrate Sun, I know you are very busy, so I will not beat around the bush. I only have two things I would like to ask you to handle."
Magistrate Sun nodded: "Your Highness is too kind. Please feel free to speak your mind!"
Yun Shengsheng said, "The first thing is the travel permit."
"My cousin Yun Yaya went missing back then, but my uncle's family never reported her death. Her household registration in Taijing County still shows that she is alive."
"But her household registration and travel permit weren't with her..."
Magistrate Sun immediately understood and quickly ordered his servants to carry it out.
As Yun Shengsheng intended, the county clerk immediately issued Yun Yaya a new temporary household registration and a travel permit, so that she could legitimately travel with Yun Shengsheng.
Yun Shengsheng said, "Secondly, I would like to trouble Magistrate Sun to give my cousin justice."
"My cousin Yun Yaya is a respectable woman, but she was kidnapped by villains and sold to Wangxianlou."
"Wangxianlou takes people in without checking their identities, imprisoning them for three years at a time and forcing them into prostitution."
"And Cui Jinzhi, who abducted her, was involved in every single one of those illegal acts."
Magistrate Sun was shocked; he hadn't expected such a thing to happen.
He was surprised by Yun Yaya's experience, but even more surprised by Yun Shengsheng's actions.
In this world, women who are lost are mostly considered dead, and even if they are found, they are often killed.
Or perhaps the family is afraid of losing face and won't even bother to search diligently, let alone pursue the matter of human traffickers.
Every family would try their best to cover it up, for fear of ruining the reputation of the other women in the family.
But this county princess was quite something; she actually said it in public.
Yun Shengsheng naturally noticed his surprise, but didn't take it seriously.
First of all, she had already talked to Yun Yaya before coming here.
Yun Yaya did not back down. Yun Yaya wanted Cui Jinzhi, and Wangxianlou would pay the price.
For herself, and for Sister Yan Hong and other persecuted women.
The only thing Yun Yaya felt sorry for was that she would tarnish the reputation of the Yun family's daughters.
But Yun Shengsheng wasn't afraid, and she believed her sisters weren't afraid either.
If one is burdened by reputation and can't do this or that, Yun Shengsheng can't stand it.
Seeing that Yun Shengsheng and Yun Pianpian both supported her, Yun Yaya became even more confident and determined to make those who hurt them pay the price.
Actually, Yun Shengsheng had previously wanted to kill Cui Jinzhi directly.
But then I thought, that's too easy on him.
She wanted him to live, be utterly disgraced, lose everything, and live the rest of his life in misery.
And that Wangxian Tower, we can take this opportunity to let the government investigate it.
She would then subtly manipulate things so that the officials would "accidentally" discover that Wangxian Tower was a secret estate of the Western Liang Kingdom, and that everyone inside, from the madam to the top courtesan, was a spy for the Western Liang Kingdom.
It would both remove a malignant tumor for the Great Xuan Kingdom and keep itself out of the way, killing two birds with one stone.
After listening to all of Yun Shengsheng's requests, Magistrate Sun immediately nodded in agreement.
A seventh-rank county magistrate is already far inferior to a second-rank county magistrate, not to mention that this matter was indeed caused by Cui Jinzhi and Wangxianlou's own lack of decency.
He immediately dispatched someone on horseback to the neighboring Lingzi County to inform Magistrate Li.
Magistrate Li and Magistrate Sun had always been on good terms. Hearing that it was a case personally overseen by the county magistrate, they dared not be negligent. They immediately joined forces with Magistrate Sun's men and split into two groups.
They rushed straight to Cui Jinzhi's residence, surrounding Wangxian Tower completely.
Yun Shengsheng wanted to see for himself what was going on at Wangxian Tower, so he took a carriage and followed them there. Magistrate Sun quickly accompanied him, and they went directly to the entrance of Wangxian Tower.
Magistrate Li happened to arrive as well and quickly bowed to Yun Shengsheng.
"This humble official greets the County Princess!"
Yun Shengsheng smiled and waved her hand, "Magistrate Li, there's no need for such formalities!"
No sooner had he finished greeting them than Cui Jinzhi was brought over bound hand and foot, and the constables pressed him to the ground with his cheek pressed against it.
Yun Shengsheng looked down at him.
The man looked older than he had three years ago. His hair was filthy and matted, his clothes were tattered, and he knelt there trembling, mumbling something incoherently begging for mercy.
Where is his former handsome appearance? He's just a stinking pile of mud now.
Yun Sheng coldly withdrew her gaze, as if looking at a stray dog with a broken leg by the roadside.
The evidence against this man for human trafficking is conclusive; he can't escape. She's not in a hurry to see what happens to him.
She came today mainly to see Wangxian Tower.
Before long, the madam of Wangxian Tower was dragged out by two yamen runners.
This madam had been operating in Lingzi County for over twenty years. She was usually so arrogant, and when she scolded the girls, her voice was louder than a pig butcher's. But today, she was crying her eyes out.
She struggled free from the constables, crawled on her knees to Magistrate Li's feet, and cried out in a pitiful voice, "Your Honor! This is all the work of that damned Cui Jinzhi!"
"I didn't know that girl was from a respectable family, I really didn't know, it's not my fault..."
Magistrate Li kicked her to the ground, and a nearby bailiff spat on the ground, saying, "Old woman, still trying to argue! When he brought people to sell you, did he give you a contract of indenture?"
A fierce glint flashed across the madam's still-attractive old face, which quickly turned into a pitiful, aggrieved expression.
"I...I just forgot to check..."
