Chapter 173 The Unlucky Jingzhao Prefecture Governor

Mr. Zhuge saw Xu Feng's expression.

He quickly advised, "Xu Feng, the power of these talented scholars cannot be underestimated. They hold considerable influence both within the court and among the people. You must not use drastic measures against them. If you incite public outrage and public opinion becomes overwhelming, even the Emperor might not be able to protect you. This matter must be handled with caution, and you must not act rashly."

Xu Feng was well aware of the importance of public opinion. He said to Mr. Zhuge, "Don't worry, sir. I know what I'm doing. I won't let these talented people criticize me. On the contrary, I'll let them praise me greatly."

Then he whispered a few words into the Jinyiwei's ear.

After hearing this, the Jinyiwei's eyes lit up, and he smiled happily, rubbing his hands and saying, "Sir, I will go and do it right away." Xu Feng turned around and said, "Go ahead, go ahead. Once this is done, I will treat everyone to a meal."

The Jinyiwei left happily, looking as if they couldn't wait to go back and watch the show.

Seeing this, Mr. Zhuge asked in confusion, "What new tricks have you come up with?"

Xu Feng smiled mysteriously and said, "I'll keep it a secret for now, and you'll know later, sir."

Mr. Zhuge shook his head helplessly, but he was also curious about what method Xu Feng had come up with to deal with this difficult situation. However, Xu Feng looked confident, as if everything was under control.

After the Jinyiwei returned, he told Honglian about Xu Feng's idea.

After hearing this, Honglian immediately smiled brightly and scolded, "This idea is too bad, but I just like bad men like him!"

After saying this, she felt extremely upset and realized that what she said seemed to be wrong. She quickly said "Pooh, pooh, pooh" a few times, then turned around and entered the Jinyiwei prison.

In the cell, Honglian decided to change the direction of the interrogation.

She interrogated another brothel girl, and this time the topic was no longer centered around Miss Su Yue, but rather turned to the prefect of Jingzhao Prefecture.

Honglian stared at the woman and asked, "Tell me what you think of Lord Shen, the prefect of Jingzhao Prefecture. If you can't answer this question, don't blame me for using torture!"

The brothel girl was startled and said in a panic, "Master Shen, I don't have much contact with him."

Honglian's face darkened and she said, "You've heard of it, right?"

The brothel girl tried to guess Honglian's expression, feeling a mixture of anxiety and uncertainty. She didn't know whether to say anything nice or mean, so she said ambiguously, "Master Shen is quite busy on a daily basis, and I heard he's not in particularly good health."

Upon hearing this, Honglian immediately ordered the Jinyiwei who was taking notes nearby, "Write this down. Lord Shen always has sex with several women every night when he comes to the brothel. He's so exhausted that his kidneys are depleted and his body is weak!"

The brothel girl was stunned and thought to herself, "That's not what I meant!"

But she didn't dare to refute, and could only watch Honglian perform, her heart full of helplessness and fear.

Honglian said to her, "You have cooperated very well. Come, prepare food for Miss Miaomiao and change her to a clean cell."

When the other brothel girls saw how Luo Miaomiao was treated, they immediately understood.

Later, when they were interrogated by Honglian, they all began to speak ill of Shen Shan, the prefect of Jingzhao Prefecture.

Miss Liumian was filled with resentment and gnashed her teeth as she said, "That Shen Shan is simply a beast in human form, worse than an animal!"

"He suffered from impotence and was extremely mentally distorted. Once, he even tied himself to the bed and had me burn him with candles and whip him with a horsewhip. The harder I whipped him, the more he screamed with pleasure. It was truly unbearable to watch! Another time, he insisted on wearing women's clothes and putting on makeup, and had us gather around him to laugh and amuse ourselves. If we disobeyed, he would beat and scold us."

Honglian and the Jinyiwei were dumbfounded and felt their eyes had been opened. They couldn't help but secretly exclaim, "Master Shen really knows how to have fun!"

Honglian shouted loudly: "Write it down, write it down, write it all down!" Then he looked at Miss Liumian and said: "You are released." Then he handed her a document.

When Miss Liu Mian saw the document, she was stunned at first, then her hands began to tremble with excitement, and she immediately burst into tears.

This document was actually the document for her to be denaturalized!

Brothel girls like them are all slaves and can be bought and sold at will.

Even if a brothel girl redeems herself, it is difficult for her to break away from her slave status. In the future, whether she works as a maid in a mansion or marries someone as a concubine, she is still a slave who can be bought and sold at will.

Only when she is freed from slavery can she be considered a normal and decent woman!

Miss Liumian knelt down with a plop and kowtowed repeatedly: "Thank you very much, sir, thank you very much for your great kindness, I will never forget it!"

"No need to thank me, this is all Master Xu's intention." Honglian waved her hand and said, "Go, and live a good life from now on."

Miss Liumian left with many thanks.

Seeing this, the other brothel girls rushed to denounce Shen Shan's evil deeds. The cell was filled with insults and accusations against Shen Shan.

When Miss Liu Mian was released from the Jinyiwei gate, it immediately caused a stir.

Several talented men who admired her immediately came forward and asked with concern, "Miss Liumian, have you suffered any injustice in there? Did the Jinyiwei torture you?"

A scholar in a green robe anxiously handed over a handkerchief and said, "Wipe your sweat quickly! You look so pale. You must have been frightened."

Another talented scholar holding a folding fan echoed: "It's all because of these abominable Jinyiwei. How could they treat a girl like this!"

Unexpectedly, Miss Liu Mian reacted violently, shouting, "Shut up! No one can slander the Jinyiwei! It was the Jinyiwei and Lord Xu who saved me from suffering!"

When these words came out, the talented scholars were all shocked and asked hurriedly: "What's going on?"

Miss Liumian calmed down and said, "The Jinyiwei are working for the country to eliminate traitors and punish treacherous officials. Moreover, they helped me escape slavery and regain my freedom. I can't thank them enough!"

Gradually, other brothel girls were released one after another.

They all reported the explosive information to Shen Shan, the prefect of Jingzhao Prefecture, and were thus released and freed from slavery. After being released, they also praised the talented men who admired them, the Jinyiwei, and Xu Feng.

Thus, the wind direction changed.

Many talented people also began to praise Jinyiwei: "It seems that we misunderstood before. This Jinyiwei is actually doing something righteous."

Some even began to praise Xu Feng as a light in the scholarly community: "Master Xu's action is truly a righteous one, and it is admirable!"

And Shen Shan's various evil deeds gradually became known, which was simply disgusting to watch.

For a moment, the crowd was infuriated. A talented scholar from the Imperial Academy raised his arms and shouted, "We will go to the Jingzhao Prefecture to protest and ask Your Majesty to remove this treacherous official and restore order to the Dashun Kingdom!"
