On the third day of November of the fifth year of Xuanhe in the Song Dynasty, it is advisable to sacrifice and seek medical treatment; it is avoided to travel and make friends.

Since the beginning of night yesterday, a sharp north wind has blown to Bianjing City, causing the temperature to drop sharply, and the winter is soaring. At midnight, the first winter snow this year has fallen to the capital of the Song Dynasty. Although it is not very big, it has turned the roofs of the city white, and a thin layer of ice and snow have accumulated on the streets.

Such an environment makes Tokyo City no longer as lively as before, and only 20% of the pedestrians on the streets are as usual. Most people hide in their homes and avoid the wind and snow. In this way, some people naturally have no chance to take advantage of it. They can only drink wine in their nests and curse a few more words. God refuses to appreciate it.

Hearing the vulgar curses in the hall ahead, a man who had just come out of the room and was dressed in a brightly dressed man opened his face and said, "You all give me some rules. Doing nothing will only benefit you. Don't keep talking nonsense. If that master comes later, he will be unhappy and carefully peel your skin!"

Originally, the few people in the hall were unscrupulous by drinking, but when they heard this, the fearless master of the world suddenly stopped and smiled apologized: "What the boss said is that the younger ones are a little chaotic. Is that master coming today? But today's wind and snow..."

"Didn't we just get a few good guys two days ago? That man had already agreed to come and taste it, and he could come around noon. What is this little snow? Just prepare and serve, and your benefits will be indispensable at that time." The boss laughed.

"That's good, let's go and prepare now." As he said that, the few people stood up excitedly and walked back. This was a big house with three yards and crossing courtyards. It was a good place for wealthy families to afford to live in. But who would have expected that the people living here were not good people, but a group of lazy and fierce street rascals who do many evil things.

Their steps were fast, and they came to one of the locked rooms in a blink of an eye. After unbuttoning the thick iron chains and pushing the door open, they revealed the whole picture inside. In this room with few pieces of furniture, there were five or six young women around twenty, all dressed as women, each of whom was pretty. After finding that the door was opened, they all showed panic and screamed in surprise. I really felt pity for them.

"You guys, come out with me and clean up yourself." One of the men stood in front of the door, waved at them, and shouted in an unquestionable tone.

"This hero, you, let us go. We will repay you even if we are doing cows and horses." The women did not move, and one of them begged tremblingly.

But what was received was a sneer: "Are you dreaming? Since it falls into our brothers' hands, how can you let you go? But you are also lucky. As long as we do what we want, if we please others, we can wear gold and silver, eat and drink well, and have endless blessings! Come out quickly, or we brothers will do it directly!" Seeing that the girls were just shivering in the corner without moving, the men were finally annoyed. They immediately stepped into the house, reached out and pulled one of the women out hard. Suddenly, the house was crying again, but these women were weak and were no match for these men. They were quickly forced out of the door. Then, after being driven into a house with constant heat coming out not far away, they were surprised to find that there had been a bathhouse there.

"Take off your clothes soon, wash your body clean, and then change them." The man shouted again, and then threatened: "If you don't do anything, let us brothers help you take off your clothes and wash your body."

At this time, the girls didn't know what was waiting for them, and they were even more scared. But under the force of the other party, they had completely lost the ability to resist, so they had to cry and hide from the corner and untied their clothes, and then hurried into the bath pool.

This early pool is really good, it is much more upscale than ordinary people. Not only is the place spacious enough, but the water in the pool is still heated through the underground fire channel, and it is really comfortable to immerse your body in the water. But how could those women enjoy this unprecedented treatment at this time? They were so scared that they didn't know what to do.

"Wash faster, don't let that master wait in a hurry! Damn, I want to taste this kind of benefit..." The man outside kept urging, and his words were filled with yearning. But he knew what he was, let alone enjoying these beautiful ladies, he would not even get into this room to take a hot bath. However, as long as he was comfortable serving that master, the benefits would be huge, and it would not be a loss.

Time flies, and it is almost noon. Several women have washed clean and put on colorful clothes and are taken to the more spacious and elegant and warm room in the backyard, waiting for the arrival of the distinguished guest.

But someone came earlier than him. Several Kaifeng Mansion staff suddenly appeared in front of the door of the house and slapped the door hard: "Is there anyone inside? Come back and reply, Kaifeng Mansion has something to interrogate."

After slapping for a while, someone opened the door to respond. It was the head. He looked at them with an unhappy look: "Is there anything wrong with your Kaifeng Mansion? We are just here..."

"I didn't say you are wrong, but there are just a few theft cases nearby recently. I want to ask you if there is anything unusual?" The toll asked casually as if he was doing his job.

"No." The answer was quite straightforward: "I have never heard of anything here. You can go and ask some other places. Also, this is the outer house of the Department of Justice Fang. Don't cause trouble in the old age..." As he said that, he tried hard to close the door.

But at this moment, one hand pressed on the door faster than him, and a majestic voice rang out: "Is that right? The outside house of the Ministry of Justice officials should check it out. Go in and search it!" At some point, dozens of soldiers from the Ministry of Justice soldiers holding swords and guns appeared next to him. The officials in the head pushed the door completely with just a force.

The man really didn't expect that the people from Kaifeng Prefecture were just a cover. Some people from the Ministry of Justice were about to rush in. His expression changed. He felt a little moved and he shouted loudly: "Go away, the official army is coming..." But he was halfway through his words, and a sheathed knife was thrusting towards him, making him scream and fall on his back. The soldiers of the Ministry of Justice had no doubt at this time and rushed straight into the yard with great strides.

However, his loud scream still alarmed more than a dozen men inside. They snatched them out of the hall in the front yard, and they had all had various weapons in their hands. After seeing the specific number of officers and soldiers, they were stunned, then shouted, and turned around and rushed back. Although they looked fierce and domineering in front of those women, when they really encountered a strong enemy, they didn't even have the courage to resist.

Seeing this, the officers and soldiers were so calm that they shouted loudly and chased after him. A few guys ran slowly and were knocked down by someone and struggled to get rid of them. However, a few guys were fast enough to rush to the backyard, turned around, climbed up to the not-so-high wall, jumped down, and then stumbled straight towards the streets outside.

Seeing this, the officers and soldiers hurriedly called to stop and then chased after him. However, in terms of their ability to pursue and flee, they obviously had a certain gap with these guys. Although they caught two or three more people, they still let three of them rush out of the street.

"No need to chase, search the yard first." With the official's order, the officers and soldiers did not continue to take people, but quickly separated and searched everywhere skillfully. After this search, the results quickly appeared. Not only those women who were still trembling in the backyard and did not know what fate they would encounter, but also found more than a dozen men and women who were starving and cold and unable to speak in other rooms in the second yard. The public soldiers were very angry: "The kidnappers who were killed these days should kill them to eliminate the harm to the people!"

The official who led the team of the Ministry of Justice was originally worried, but now, after seeing these poor people rescued, his face turned pale and gritted his teeth and said, "It's really damn. It seems that what Mr. Wei said is true. This ghost Fanlou is really a disaster. It's better to uproot them!"

At this time, one of the women said timidly: "This official, the little woman heard that they would come to some distinguished guests today, and I don't know if he has arrived..."

"This is actually happening. Cheng Guang, take people outside to guard it. If you meet a suspicious person, capture it on the spot!"

The head of the Ministry of Justice, who was named, quickly agreed and took a dozen subordinates and walked out. When he arrived at the entrance of the alley, he happened to see a carriage moving quickly along the long street. He hurriedly chased after him, but in the end he could not catch up with the vehicle dragged by two horses. He only saw a back, which was a carriage with extremely exquisite workmanship, and it was only available to wealthy families.

"Who is this and what is it related to those guys from Gui Fanlou?" Cheng Guang stopped helplessly and watched the other party disappear quickly, but his heart was full of doubts.

And in the carriage that was leaving, a man was gritting his teeth: "Fortunately, I reacted in time, otherwise I would have fallen into the hands of the constable. What did those bastards do? They actually exposed their legs. Also, how could Kaifeng Prefecture and the Ministry of Justice find this hiding place?"
