"Yan Rui, a folk girl, see your lord." Yan Rui saluted Zhu Xi, she didn't understand a little, and after Zhu Xi asked her once, he ignored her and locked her up for three days before arraigning her.

"Could it be that Zhu Xi also arrested Tang Zhongyou, and now he wants me to confront Tang Zhongyou face to face with him?" But when Yan Rui arrived in the hall, she didn't find Tang Zhongyou. She couldn't help but feel a little relieved, after all, Tang Zhongyou was pretty good to her, and she really didn't want to testify against Tang Zhongyou in person.

With a "snap", Zhu Xi slapped the shocked wood and said sharply: "Yan Rui, this official asks you, do you know Yang Yan?"

"Yang Yan?" Yan Rui couldn't help but be stunned, she thought that Zhu Xi would ask her about Tang Zhongyou's incident, but she didn't expect to suddenly ask Yang Yan. It's good, why did you ask about Yang Yan?" Yan Rui was also stunned for a while and did not answer.

Zhu Xi saw that Yan Rui didn't answer, and asked again: "This official asks you, do you know Yang Yan, who is now waiting for Yang Yan and Yang Zihao."

Yan Rui came back to her senses and said, "The folk girl knows."

Zhu Xi nodded and said, "How did you and Yang Yan meet, to be honest."

Although Yan Rui didn't know why Zhu Xi asked this, she couldn't help but say it. Naturally, she wouldn't say anything about the night in the Bell and Drum Tower, but only that she and Yang Yan met at a banquet at the Xie Hotel. However, it also concealed the conflict between Yang Yan and Li Jinzhong that time.

After she finished speaking, Zhu Xi "hummed" and said, "A few days ago, Yang Yan went to Ruyifang every day, why?" Isn't it hard to find you? Everyone knows about you and Yang Yan, and you dare to hide it from this official."

Yan Rui couldn't help but protest and said, "I don't know what the adults said about me and Lord Yang all knowing?"

Zhu Xi sneered: "Yan Rui, you are just a camp prostitute, what else can Yang Yan do to find you?" Naturally, he is a prostitute in a green building, and he has an insulting reputation. Is it so difficult that you still have to say it clearly? Do you dare to say that you have no personal relationship with Yang Yan?"

Yan Rui heard Zhu Xi say that he had a personal affair with Yang Yan, and suddenly felt that the blood on his whole body suddenly rushed to the top of his head, and said loudly: "My lord, as the saying goes, catch a thief and take dirty, catch a traitor and take a double, how can you convict people based on rumors. Yan Rui is a prostitute, feasting with wine, singing and dancing is still a common practice. If this is also a private affair, then I am afraid that there is no one in the Great Song Dynasty who has no personal affection. Isn't that ridiculous? Adults are great Confucians, they have read the books of sages, and they know the way of sages.

Zhu Xi didn't expect a small camp prostitute to dare to scold him, and said angrily: "Yan Rui, you are so sharp." He grabbed a bamboo stick and wanted to throw it down, but finally suppressed his anger, put the bamboo stick down, and said: "Tang Zhongyou sent such a heavy thing to you, and Yang Yan went to your Ruyi Fang every day, if there is no personal relationship, then what is it for?" I advise you to tell the truth, so as not to suffer from the flesh."

Yan Rui sneered: "My lord is trying to extort a confession by torture. Although Yan Rui is a cheap prostitute, she also knows the truth and falsehood, how can she talk falsely to defile others, even if she beats me to death, she will not confess. Suddenly thought of Yang Yan in his heart: Where is he now, do you know that I am here to be tortured and beaten for him.

Zhu Xi finally couldn't hold back his anger, took out a bamboo stick and threw it down, and said sharply: "Come on, I will be tortured."

In the past few days, Yang Yan has been staying at home and not going out. I don't know anything about what's going on outside. The expansion of his mansion is in full swing. The house has basically been built, and now it is a decoration project such as planting trees and flowers, opening a lake and building a pavilion.

On this day, Yang Yan was reading a book in the study, and a family member came in and said, "Second young master, there is a girl outside who claims to be Yan Rui who wants to see you."

Yang Yan was slightly stunned, put down the book in his hand, and thought of what Yan Rui was doing when he came to find him? He was planning to go to Yang Yizhong in the next few days to see if there was a way to help Yan Rui get out of the country and let her be good. He told his family, "Let her in."

A short time later, the family brought in a girl who was seventeen or eighteen years old. Yang Yan saw that this woman turned out to be not Yan Rui, but Yan Rui's maid Xiao Yun. I wanted to see that maybe Yan Rui called her to pass the word, and was about to ask her, when suddenly Xiao Yun "Pu Tong", knelt in front of Yang Yan, and cried loudly: "Lord Yang, go and save our Yan Rui girl, now only you can save her." As he spoke, he crawled to Yang Yan on his knees, hugged his legs and cried.

Yang Yan couldn't help but be taken aback, knowing that something must have happened to Yan Rui, he hurriedly said: "Miss Xiaoyun, don't cry, you get up and talk first." As he spoke, he reached out and pulled her.

Xiao Yun cried even more fiercely, hugged Yang Yan's leg and said, "Lord Yang, now only you can save our Miss Yan Rui, if you don't save her, I will kneel here and not get up."

Yang Yan couldn't help but be a little anxious, and said, "Tell me quickly, what happened to Miss Yan Rui, if you don't make it clear, how can I save her?"

Xiao Yun listened, and then stopped crying slightly, but she said it again. It turned out that after Yan Rui was taken away, she didn't come back for six or seven days, and the head of Ruyifang, Mother Li, sent someone to inquire what happened, and then I didn't know why, Yan Rui was actually involved in Tang Zhongyou and Yang Yan, and she had been beaten several times, and I heard that she had to use a clamping stick. Xiao Yun was bought by Yan Rui since she was a child, although she is a girl, she is the same sister as Yan Rui. When he heard this, he was immediately frightened, and hurriedly rescued Li's mother to give Yan Rui some advice. But there are two court officials involved, Zhu Xi is famous for not entering the oil and salt, and Li's mother doesn't dare to pay attention to it anymore.

Although the person who inquired about the news didn't understand the inside story of Yan Rui's lawsuit, he finally knew that it was inseparable from Tang Zhongyou and Yang Yan. Xiao Yun saw that Li's mother didn't care, so she had to go to Tang Zhongyou. At this time, Tang Zhongyou was also unable to protect himself, and he moved up and down every day, hoping to escape this lawsuit and save himself, where he still had the heart to manage Yan Rui's life and death. Xiao Yun was in no place, so she had to come to Yang Yan again.

Yang Yan was also taken aback when he heard this, and hurriedly called Yang Quan to ask him if he knew about this matter. Yan Rui is now the No. 1 red prostitute in Lin'an, she was arrested, and the news of her punishment has long been spread in Lin'an. But Yang Quan has also been busy with the construction of Yang Yan's mansion these days, although he vaguely heard a thing, but he didn't know much.

Yang Yan hurriedly asked Yang Quan to put aside other things and inquire about the causes and consequences of Yan Rui's official and private affairs first. As soon as Yang Quan heard that Yang Yan was involved, he didn't dare to slack off and hurriedly went. Yang Yan comforted Xiao Yun again, don't be in a hurry. But this noisy, he also knows about it, and even the tassels are alarmed. Yang Yan hurriedly ordered again, don't tell Yang Yizhong first, wait for Yang Quan to inquire about the exact news. Then he told Tassel about his acquaintance with Yan Rui. Fortunately, the tassel and his line are gentle, and they didn't say anything after listening to it.

After more than an hour, Yang Quan came back from outside, and only then did he inquire about the whole thing very clearly, and told Yang Yan in detail. Only then did Yang Yan know that Yan Rui was originally implicated by Tang Zhongyou and imprisoned, and later, for some reason, Zhu Xi insisted that she had an affair with Yang Yan. Yan Rui naturally refused to admit it, but was ordered by Zhu Xi to hit forty with a cane, and he was knocked unconscious in the court. The next time, Zhu Xi was promoted to the court again, but Yan Rui still did not confess, and he was beaten with forty rods and passed out twice in a row. Zhu Xi was afraid that she would be tortured to death, so he ordered her to be re-detained, today Yan Rui's injuries were slightly better, Zhu Xi interrogated her again, this time using a clamping stick, only to clip Yan Rui back to life, but still denied it and refused to confess.

In the end, Yang Quan hurriedly said: "Second Young Master, although Yan Rui still doesn't confess now, but Bi Jing is made of meat, maybe when he will be punished, he will be beaten into a trick by Qu, and he will admit that he has had a personal affair with you. That would be a big disservice to you. I think it's better to tell the old county king right away and see what he can do."
