"Is she the one you're looking for?"
The voice came from behind. Jiang Ning had already reached the second floor and asked as he looked at the young man and the woman in his arms.
The young man looked up at him, nodded vigorously, and said, "She is Shuyun, my childhood sweetheart and my fiancée."
Jiang Ning didn't say anything after hearing this. He looked at the brothel girl again and asked, "He said that Shuyun was forced into prostitution by Wan Deming and her mother was tricked into signing a contract to sell her body. Is that true?"
The brothel girl nodded.
"It's all true. It's not just Xiaoru. Most of us sisters were deceived in this way."
The brothel girl nodded as she said this, and her eyes became red when she mentioned that they all had the same experience.
"Xiao Ru was tricked into coming here a few months ago. Many of our sisters were caught here and forced to serve customers. If they didn't obey, they would be beaten and scolded. Many sisters couldn't stand the pain and committed suicide."
As the brothel girl spoke, she lifted up her right arm, revealing a large scar.
"They tortured us into submission, using red-hot irons to brand us. The sisters who were forced to endure it contracted dirty diseases from receiving customers for a long time, and if they couldn't be cured, they would throw them into coffins and starve to death."
At this time, some prostitutes in the brothel also came over cautiously. After hearing what this prostitute said, they all lifted up their clothes. Some of them had whip marks, some had brand marks, each one more shocking than the other.
"These damn beasts! They are totally devoid of conscience!!"
Seeing what happened to these brothel girls, an honest man like Liang Fa couldn't help but tremble with anger. Du Lanyin and Qiaojun, whose faces were originally red because this was a brothel, looked very ugly.
"Where is Wan Deming?"
Jiang Ning asked.
"In the innermost room on the third floor, I saw him taking Xiaoyu in."
A brothel girl nearby pointed in the direction of the third floor and said.
Jiang Ning turned to Liang Fa and said calmly, "Brother Liang, can you lend me your sword?"
He did not bring his sword with him; it was still in the inn.
Hearing his words, Liang Fa, Du Lanyin and others couldn't help but look at him.
Jiang Ning looked calm, but there was a frightening emotion in his eyes.
That is anger, anger that burns all sin.
Liang Fa opened his mouth but before he could say anything, Jiang Ning reached out and grabbed the hilt of his sword, then pulled it out and walked towards the third floor. The sound of the sword rubbing against the scabbard was particularly clear.
Jiang Ning walked towards the innermost room on the third floor, and kicked the door. The sound of the door breaking was so clear that it woke up the people who were sleeping inside.
"who are you?"
There were two naked people lying on the bed, one of them was a bearded man in his forties or fifties, and the other was a woman.
"Your name is Wan Deming?"
Jiang Ning came to the bedside, pointed the sword at him and said.
"Yes, I am Wan Deming. Who are you?"
Wan Deming looked at Jiang Ning in shock and anger and said, the brothel girl next to him hid at the foot of the bed and trembled in fear.
"You forced decent girls into prostitution, beat and insulted them, and threw them into coffins after they became sick and starved to death. Is that true?"
Jiang Ning asked.
Wan Deming felt something was wrong after hearing this and quickly retorted: "How is that possible? They did it voluntarily. I didn't force them. They came to my Yihualou to sell their bodies because they couldn't survive. I have their indentures. How could they be forced?"
"Even if I take this matter to the authorities, I am still right!"
While talking, Wan Deming wanted to get up, but Jiang Ning held a sword to his neck, so he had to sit on the bed and dared not move.
Jiang Ning glanced at him, then looked at the brothel girl beside him and asked, "Were you forced, or did you do it voluntarily?"
"me……"
The brothel woman was so frightened by this scene that she trembled when speaking. She looked at Jiang Ning, who had a calm face, and then at Wan Deming, who was being pointed at by a sword, and her expression was very scared.
Jiang Ning just looked at her, waiting for her answer.
No one knew what the brothel girl was thinking. She finally burst into tears and said in a sobbing voice, "I was forced."
"Master Wan... No, Wan Deming... He beat my parents to death, threatened me with my brother and sister, and forced me to sign a contract to sell my body. If I didn't agree to accept customers, he would let us all starve to death. I had no choice, I had no choice, I could only agree to him, I could only agree to him..."
"My parents still don't have money to buy a coffin for burial, and their bodies were thrown in the wilderness outside the city... I'm so sorry for them, I'm so sorry for them... wuwuwu..."
The brothel woman broke down and cried.

Chapter 47: I'm Ready
"Bitch!"
Wan Deming was so shocked and furious that he wanted to slap him, but when he saw Jiang Ning's cold eyes, his hand froze in place.
"Where are their indentures?"
Wan Deming didn't say anything and his face looked very ugly.
Jiang Ning raised his sword and slightly pressed it against his throat. Wan Deming felt a stinging sensation and screamed in fright.
"In my clothes, right inside my clothes!"
As he spoke, he pointed to his clothes on the ground.
Upon hearing this, the brothel girl next to him excitedly climbed down from the bed and looked through his clothes. Not long after, she took out a thick stack of papers from inside.
“It’s really here!”
The brothel girl exclaimed in surprise.
Jiang Ning looked at Wan Deming and asked, "Are all the indentures of all the women in Yihualou here?"
"Yes, they are all here."
Wan Deming nodded hurriedly.
Jiang Ning turned to the brothel girl and said, "Take out the indentures and return them to the women he forced upon them."
"thanks, thanks."
The brothel girl cried and laughed, tears streaming down her face, then she picked up her clothes on the ground and ran out.
"Young man, please let me go. I have already returned the indentures to them. Please give me a chance to live."
Wan Deming begged Jiang Ning for mercy.
Jiang Ning didn't say anything, just looked at him, but his eyes became colder and colder.
It seemed that the situation was getting worse and worse, and Wan Deming screamed in fear.
"You can't kill me!"
"I admit that some of them were forced by me, but some were not! Some of them were willing, I did not force them, I have already returned the indentures to those who were forced, and I have also returned the indentures to those who were willing, what else do you want!!"
"It's not just my brothel that's like this, all brothels in the world are like this, why do you want to catch me and kill me? In our line of work, who doesn't have some shady tricks? We don't exploit them, we don't force them, where do we get the money to eat, drink and have fun? Where do we get the money to bribe people?"
"The government doesn't care about us. The worst that can happen is that I can just give them some extra money later. I'll compensate the families of those who died. It's a huge sum of money, more than they could ever earn in their entire lives. That should be fine, right?"
After hearing these words, Jiang Ning spoke.
"Some of them may have volunteered, and I have no control over that, but I will take care of those who were forced, or whose families were broken up because of the violence."
Wan Deming was shocked and angry, "All brothels in the world are like this. Can you manage it?"
Jiang Ning said calmly, "If I can manage it, I will manage it. If I can't manage it, I will manage it. If there is a brothel in the world that forces women of good families into prostitution like you, I will manage it. If there are two, I will manage them both. I will manage them one by one. You say I can't manage it? I want to see if I can manage it."
Wan Deming looked at Jiang Ning tremblingly. He could feel that what the other party said was true.
"Madman! Madman!"
Wan Deming shouted.
Jiang Ning said no more and stabbed with his sword, ending Wan Deming's life.
By the time Jiang Ning walked out of the room, the outside was already full of brothel girls.
At this time, these brothel girls all held a piece of paper in their hands, which contained their indentures.
"Thank you, benefactor. Thank you, benefactor. Thank you for saving us from this sea of suffering."
These brothel girls knelt down in front of Jiang Ning, crying and talking, and more girls burst into tears.
What Jiang Ning said in the room just now was heard by them outside the room. They didn't expect that someone would really save people like them who were so lowly.
Yihualou and the government are in cahoots with each other. Some of them do it voluntarily, but that's because they can no longer survive outside. If they were not desperate, who would be willing to sell their looks and flesh and live by pleasing others?
Most of them were forced. Some of them resisted, while others accepted their fate. They originally thought that their final destination would be to be infected with a serious disease and then thrown into a coffin and starved to death.
But Jiang Ning's appearance was like a ray of light that broke through the darkness, shining on them, allowing them to see the sun in the quagmire.
Looking at these brothel girls who broke down and cried, Liang Fa and Du Lanyin who were standing outside felt as if something was throbbing in their hearts. The Huashan disciple who had said before that these brothel girls were servile and had no self-respect now felt as if there was a knife in his heart, cutting his heart again and again.
"Some of you are here willingly, and some of you are here under duress."
Jiang Ning looked at them and spoke slowly.
When they heard Jiang Ning speak, the women stopped crying and looked up at Jiang Ning.
"But this is not your fault. It is this world that makes it impossible for you to survive. It makes you oppressed, forced, and persecuted."
"But as I said in there, this is not your fault. As long as I encounter it, I will take care of it. Didn't that person say that all brothels in the world are like this and I can't take care of it? I want to see if I can take care of it and if the Huashan Sect can take care of it."
Jiang Ning said these words in a calm voice. Although it was plain, everyone present could see his determination.
The women kneeling on the ground stared at Jiang Ning in a daze. Suddenly, one of them covered her face and cried out in pain. The other women did the same. Although their emotions were not as strong as before, it made Liang Fa, Du Lanyin and others feel even more sad.
"Junior brother, now that we have rescued these girls, let's go."
At this time, a Huashan disciple said to Jiang Ning.
"Benefactor."
But at this time, a woman looked up and said to Jiang Ning: "My benefactor, can you please save the other sisters? Most of the brothels on this street are like Yihualou, and they are just like us. Please save them."
After saying this, the woman kowtowed to Jiang Ning continuously.
Jiang Ning narrowed his eyes when he heard that, then walked out.
