Chapter 220 The Scapegoat is Also a Hero
"What happened? We're all exhausted."
Everyone in the room was like that, and those who had been so arrogant here finally felt panicked.
"Arrest them all."
General Sun led a group of soldiers to surround the place, and the people upstairs were also arrested.
Some were still naked, with their undergarments covering their lower bodies.
Ye Li'an and Xin Chuli ran in with their swords and headed towards Ye Xiyao.
"Xiyao".
Ye Lian took off his cloak to put it on her.
The next moment, Ye Xiyao's face transformed into Qi Jinlan's.
"Cousin Qi..." The two stopped in their tracks.
"it's me!"
The people below were terrified, but they also saw that the beauty above had changed.
"How did the beauty turn into a man?"
"So, were those soldiers who broke in also fake?"
"Ah! My beauty, my beauty, my bride tonight."
When Master Ma saw the beauty's expression change drastically, he cried out in sorrow.
Pinggu was lying on the ground, terrified. Her people had been watching her so closely, how could she have been switched?
The effects of the elixir have worn off.
Ye Yaoyao was the one who put the muscle-softening powder in. She dropped her disguise and walked towards her elder brother.
"Big brother, my sister and I are here."
Liang Xiaoze and the Crown Prince of Zhao were also taken away.
"Prince Zhao and Prince Liang, are you both here as well?"
General Sun looked the two men up and down.
"I'm just here for a look. Release me at once."
Prince Zhao angrily rebuked the people who were holding him.
"Yes, it's a misunderstanding, General Sun, you've misunderstood. This is my first time here, you've arrested the wrong person."
Liang Xiaozhe smiled faintly and explained gently to General Sun.
The incident happened so suddenly that they didn't have time to get out through the secret passage and were captured.
There's no misunderstanding; those two families are the masterminds here.
"Your Highnesses, this matter is of great importance, and you both need to cooperate with the investigation."
"You can investigate all you want, why are you arresting me? Release me at once."
The crown prince of Zhao struggled angrily to break free of his restraints.
"King Jing has arrived."
When they saw another important figure arrive, the patrons knew they were doomed.
The officials were so frightened that their pants got wet.
"Meet the prince."
"To commit such filthy acts right under the Emperor's nose, Your Highnesses, tell me, who dares to be so audacious?"
"Your Highness, I do not know."
Liang Xiaozhe was terrified under Qin Jingyu's gaze. With the Prince of Jing intervening, the Liang family was probably doomed.
"Does the Crown Prince of Zhao know?"
"Ninth Imperial Uncle, I don't know either." The Crown Prince of Zhao forced himself to remain calm; he dared not be presumptuous in front of Prince Jing.
The girls were dressed neatly and stood in one place; there were as many as seventy or eighty of them.
"General Sun, this man is the manager here."
Pinggu was pushed forward, staring venomously at Ye Xiyao. She had managed things so well for fifteen years, only to have them ruined because of her.
"Trafficking girls and forcing them into prostitution is an outrageous crime that defies all reason and justice. Who are your superiors?"
General Sun questioned him.
“There is no one else. I am the only one who uses this place. I was originally a prostitute. I was cheated out of all my money and came here to become a nun. I couldn’t get used to the hard life, so I went back to my old ways.”
Pinggu took the blame upon herself, but Ye Yaoyao exposed her.
"She never became a nun. She was cheated out of her money by a man and then sold back to a brothel, where she became involved with powerful and wealthy people."
Initially, it was just a place for the powerful and wealthy to have fun, but later it became a place for them to amass wealth.
She has the backing of King Zhao and Duke An Yue; the two of them are the masterminds behind it all.
"How dare you, Ye Yaoyao! My father has always been known as a wise and virtuous king. How dare you slander him here?"
"Tch! My former scumbag fake father was also known for his virtue, but now everyone knows he was a fraud. Reputation can be bought with money. How much did your Zhao Prince's Mansion spend?"
“You…” The Crown Prince of Zhao was so angry that he wanted to hit Ye Yaoyao.
"Your Highness, have I said anything wrong?"
Ye Yaoyao ran behind Qin Jingyu.
"That's right!"
Ye Yaoyao looked at Prince Zhao provocatively, then glared at Liang Xiaozhe.
"You sent your men to kidnap my sister, didn't you?!"
“Miss Ye, please be careful with your words. I have no grudge against Miss Ye, so why would I want to harm her?”
I pursued Miss Ye, but she disliked me. You're framing my father; don't pin everything on the Liang family."
"Your Liang family isn't the scapegoat, so why should I push the blame onto you? Even a scapegoat is a hero. Your Liang family is so corrupt, do you even deserve to be called heroes?"
Liang Xiaoze's facade couldn't be maintained.
Ye Yaoyao looked at the information the system gave her about the two people. One was gay and the other was a simp. They really were kindred spirits.
"Miss Ye, this is my first time here. I had no idea that Miss Ye was missing. You need evidence to accuse me of this."
"Your Highness, my Liang family are descendants of meritorious officials of the Tianlin Kingdom. I beg Your Highness to uphold justice for me."
"Liang Xiaozhe, don't think that just because you're saying you're innocent, you're not the one who did it. You're a sycophant. Do you think I didn't know what your purpose was in getting close to my sister before?"
The person you're fawning over, my Ye family won't let him get away with it either.
Liang Xiaozhe was startled by Ye Yaoyao's all-seeing, cold gaze.
"General Sun, there is a secret passage here that leads directly to the Prince of Zhao's residence and the Duke of Anyue's residence. You can have someone walk through it if you don't believe me."
Ye Jingyang and Lian Jin raised their hands in greeting.
"The secret passage to Prince Zhao's residence is here."
"The secret passage to the Duke of Anyue's mansion is here."
The two of them had already searched the area once, and General Sun sent troops to look for them.
"Go down and look for it."
Prince Zhao and Liang Xiaozhe were filled with unease. How did they know? There were clearly many exit routes.
People here all come in through the passageway. How come no one noticed that someone used their passageway?
Qi Jinlan walked over and punched Liang Xiaozhe to the ground, then kicked him.
"Xiyao has no grudge against you, yet you want to ruin her. I didn't hit you hard enough last time."
Qi Jinlan struck without mercy, and no one stepped forward to stop him.
Ye Yaoyao noticed that the Prince of Zhao was staring at Qi Jinlan.
[At this moment, the Crown Prince of Zhao, that dead gay guy, is still staring at Cousin Qi with a dazed look!]
Oh! So he likes Cousin Qi's type. Cousin Qi is destined to be a man he can't have.
If Qi Jinlan could hear Ye Yaoyao's true feelings, he would probably beat up the Prince of Zhao as well.
Those who heard the voice in her heart looked at Qi Jinlan with sympathy.
"Girls, the time for your revenge has come."
Ye Yaoyao reminded the pitiful girls huddled together for warmth.
"The more you hate someone, the more painful the beating should be," Xin Chuli added.
Finally, someone in the crowd shouted and ran out, attacking the fake nuns.
And the men who abused them.
Suddenly, the entire hall erupted in a series of pig-like squeals.
When they were exhausted, their faces were covered in blood from being scratched.
After Qi Jinlan finished beating someone, the Ye siblings also stepped forward to beat them up.
"Ah... I didn't do anything to Ye Xiyao, why are you hitting me?"
The Crown Prince of Zhao screamed in pain.
"Aren't you one of the masterminds behind this? That's why we're attacking you."
While Ye Jingyang was hitting him, he kindly told him what to do.
The girls didn't dare to hit them because of their status, but they felt relieved to see the two men being beaten so badly.
