Chapter 87
The next day, Jiang Qiucheng got a piece of news related to the case. Someone reported that he saw something that day.
He said that that night at the night market, he accidentally saw the Miss Tang family walking into a dark alley with a man...
Listening to the man's description, Tang Qiushui, who came early in the morning to inquire about the latest situation, turned gloomy. He stood up from his seat, clenched his fists, and angrily said, "Zhang Jiuyun, didn't you deliberately frame my sister's innocence?"
The man named Zhang Jiuyun shrugged helplessly, and said with a smile: "Master Qingtian is here, do grassroots dare to cheat in this kind of case? I will not frame her after she disappears! Big brother thinks so badly of me!"
Tang Qiushui gave him a cold look.
How did this man named Zhang Jiuyun know that it was Tang Qiuyi?He said that he was bullied by Miss Tang's family when he was a child, and it was difficult for him not to recognize her.
"Then did you see Tang Qiuyi and a man together that day, or were there many others? Are there any other witnesses?" Jiang Qiucheng didn't care about the past between them, and only wanted to know what happened that night, which seemed to be the crux of the case.
"I was the only one. I was going home and saw those two by accident. But I don't know if Miss Tang and that man went to the alley other than me, was seen by anyone else."
Jiang Qiucheng nodded, and then asked: "Then did you see what happened after they arrived in the alley?"
The young man shook his head, "My lord, if I hadn't seen the notice on the street, I wouldn't have known that Miss Tang was missing. At first, I just thought that the man had a messy relationship with her. Who would have known that she would disappear later?" What?" The man muttered behind, afraid that Tang Qiushui would hear what he shouldn't have heard.
"Zhang Jiuyun, please make it clear, what kind of messy relationship, you are tarnishing her innocence, keep your mouth clean!" Tang Qiushui stepped forward and grabbed the man by the collar.
This Zhang Jiuyun was often scolded by Tang Qiuyi when he was a child. When he grew up, Tang Qiuyi felt that he had done something wrong and expressed his sincerest apology to Zhang Jiuyun, but he refused.Later, when the two met, they always satirized each other.
"What happened after that? Did you see what happened behind the alley?" Jiang Qiucheng pressed Tang Qiushui's hand to keep him from getting excited.
After Tang Qiushui let go, Zhang Jiuyun straightened his collar, coughed lightly and said, "No, I turned around and left when I saw those two people entering the alley together. At that time, I thought she was having something with that man, so I didn't look at it." .”
"At that time, I was still thinking that the eldest lady has really bad eyesight, that man is not tall and straight at all, and he walks extremely ugly, and he actually went to work with that kind of man in the alley."
But if he had known that man was a thief, he would have followed secretly.Now he is so regretful that his intestines are green.
"That being the case, have you seen what that man looks like?"
Zhang Jiuyun thought for a while and shook his head: "I only saw the backs of the two of them."
Jiang Qiucheng took a look at Zhang Jiuyun and asked, "Since it's from the back, how do you know that the woman is Tang Qiuyi? Could it be that you misread it?"
"No, it must be Tang Qiuyi, just look at the back." Zhang Jiuyun was sure.
He brought a few people to the night market, the alley he described, at a glance, this alley is thin and long, leading to another street, it looks no different from other alleys.
However, in this alley there is the back door of Yihong Yard, the largest brothel in Tanzhou.
Involuntarily, several people looked at Yihong Courtyard not far away.
In Yihong Courtyard, in a certain room, the aroma of rouge permeates, and the room smells of fragrance.
The old bustard suddenly pushed open the door, and Tang Qiuyi tremblingly looked at the person on the bed, praying that the person here would show kindness and let her go, but she couldn't move or speak.
"Girl, this room is the room of the leading girl, you can be the leading girl with your pretty appearance." The old bustard held the imperial concubine fan and looked at the woman lying on the bed with a smile.Suddenly, looking at the two big men behind: "Who came here today?"
The big man said: "It's Miss Haitang."
It turned out that Haitang was the number one card in Yihong Courtyard. When this foreign girl came, she not only robbed her room, but also robbed her of the treatment she deserved.
So, taking advantage of the spare time of the old bustard in the future, taking advantage of Tang Qiuyi's inability to move or shout, he taught her a lesson.
The old bustard spat and said harshly: "You damn girl, don't teach her a lesson for a while!"
Then, remove the rag from Tang Qiuyi's mouth.
Finally able to speak, she moved her mouth and her lips became a little dry. Seeing this, the old bustard thoughtfully poured a glass of water and placed it near her lips.
Tang Qiuyi drank it all at once.
"Don't worry, there is still a lot of water, drink it slowly." The old bustard smiled and patted her on the back.
Looking at the person in front of her, Tang Qiuyi felt that this person might be a good person, so she tremblingly said, "Sister, please let me go!" With tears in her eyes, she begged to look at this young bustard.
The old bustard took a look at this man, and threw the cup on the ground with a "clack", and the shards flew everywhere. Tang Qiuyi shivered, her eyes showed fear.
The old bustard snorted coldly: "It's a joke, how can the girl who spent 20 taels of silver let go!"
Then, he raised Tang Qiuyi's chin and said, "I've seen a lot of girls like you, who didn't beg me to let her go at the beginning, but then they all wished to stay here longer, and couldn't even drive her away!"
"You let me go, I'll ask my family to give you 100 taels!" Tang Qiuyi turned her head, and the old bustard's hand felt empty, and she made a condition.
Hearing this number, the bustard sneered: "100 taels? How can you earn as much as you here? Hahahaha!" Her expression turned ferocious.
Seeing this, Tang Qiuyi yelled: "Don't touch me! I don't want to stay in this place, you... do you know who I am?" Her face was pale, there were bloodstains at the corner of her mouth, her hands and feet were tied, Lying on the bed, she looked in horror at the old bustard twisting her waist, and the two big men behind him.
"Hey, who is it? Are you serious, Your Highness the Princess?" The old bustard pinched Tang Qiuyi's delicate face, "This little face is so pretty, tsk tsk tsk, it will definitely earn a lot of money..."
Tang Qiuyi looked at the greasy woman in front of her, and spit at her. The old bustard looked gloomy, grabbed her by the hair, and gave her a big mouth with all his strength. With this slap, the corners of Tang Qiuyi's mouth immediately bleed Yes, my head is "buzzing".
The old bustard pointed at Tang Qiuyi's head again, screaming and scolding: "You little bastard! If it weren't for your good looks, I could get a good price here. I would have called the servants in these buildings a long time ago. I have taught you to be a new man, how could it be your turn to be here?!"
Tang Qiuyi curled up beside the bed. Not only were other women sneering and punching and kicking this morning, but now this old bustard also satirized her and beat her.
She absolutely shouldn't have come to the night market with the two girls, Chen Xiaoxiang. Mingming Jiang Chu had told them to be careful, but she only felt that the danger was far away, and she would never encounter it in her life.
Seeing a man who looked honest, he believed his words, and a bustard who fed her water thought she was a good person.
She is so stupid.
After breaking up with Chen Xiaoxiang last night, an honest-looking man told her that he saw a little girl crying in the alley, and asked her if she knew the little girl.When she walked to the alley with that person, she was suddenly knocked out, and she appeared in this place when she woke up.
"I...but...but Miss Tang, if my father finds out about you..."
Tang Qiuyi was talking intermittently on the bed, with tears in her eyes, the old bustard began to punch and kick her again, and then said sharply: "Miss Tang? I'm still Mrs. Jiang! Look at this place, which girl is not Miss Qianjin , after coming here, you are willing to become a prostitute?"
"What's wrong with prostitutes? How happy you want to be here, earn a lot of money every day, and wear beautiful clothes and jewelry, little girl, take care of yourself."
Tang Qiuyi did not speak, but lay silently on the bed.
"Wipe this little face with something more, and the scars won't be visible after two days of receiving customers!" Thinking that it would take two days before she could earn taels for her, the old bustard wished to settle accounts with that damn girl Haitang right away.
Before leaving, the old procuress specifically ordered the two big men to keep an eye on her, and then left.
Hearing the woman's words, Tang Qiuyi's heart twitched, and she refused for a while. When she turned over, she fell directly to the ground. She was punched and kicked many times. She fell to the ground lightly without making a sound.On the cold floor, she lay on her side and looked at the two big men at the door who watched her coldly, with tears in her eyes.
Could it be that she, the imposing young lady, really wants to spend her whole life in a brothel?No, she doesn't want to, she must leave here.
Tang's
Tang's mother didn't eat for a day, her face became thinner, she stayed in Tang Qiuyi's room and wept all day, and at the same time scolded the thief who kidnapped her daughter in her heart, Tang's father had a meal today, and was urged by Tang Qiuyi eat with him.
"There are more than ten days left for Chinese New Year. You don't eat now. Do you want to become a fairy?" Master Tang threw away his chopsticks, and there was only the two of him with a big table of food. How could he have any appetite?
Father Tang told the servant girl to prepare an extra pair of chopsticks.
"No, dad, just now Qiushui and his mother went to the shop outside to have a look, maybe they ate outside." Father Tang picked up the nearest piece of vegetables and put them in the rice bowl, eating one by one.
Master Tang took the clean chopsticks brought by the maid, pointed at the man in front of him: "Look at you, a big man, eating rice like a girl, why, you have no appetite to eat with me, a bad old man?"
"Father, how could it be?"
Master Tang seemed to have lost his appetite seeing the absence of many people, so he put the newly taken chopsticks on the table with a "slap", and left with the help of his maid.
Tang's father was relieved, and his daughter has not been found yet, and everything seems to be against him.
They didn't dare to let Mr. Tang know about Tang Qiuyi's disappearance, for fear that he would get sick.
