Chapter 270: Shen's concubine's daughter asks for help
Since the decision has been made to destroy the Silver Moon Tower, there is no need to procrastinate. The next day, when Shen Xiangwan got up, Wei Chengyi had already left. Also leaving with him were Qingying, who had just returned last night, and two master-level guards. They did not plan to use their own strength this time, and the rest of them all stayed in the village to protect Shen Xiangwan and the Wei family.
In order to assist him, Shen Xiangwan basically stayed in the space to prepare medicine every day, except for going with Mu Yunran to change Xiaohuzi's medicine. From beginning to end, outsiders did not know that the Wei family had been attacked.
In addition, in order to avoid upsetting Zhao Yuping, they did not tell her that the old prince and his companions had all died at the hands of the dog emperor.
"Uncle Zhao, I'm going to trouble you again with this matter."
A few days later, Shen Xiangwan found Zhao Dashan again, not for any other reason, but because the business of Wei's Bookstore and Wanyan Pavilion was too good, and the current output of the workshop could not keep up. Even though the two stores had started to limit purchases, it was still a bit difficult to keep up. They had to recruit people again to expand the scale of the workshop.
"What's the trouble? We're all so happy to help you."
Waving his hands, Zhao Dashan said half-jokingly and half-seriously that working in a workshop is much easier than farming, and the wages they pay are also very generous. It has only been a short time, and the original monthly silver of 800 coins has risen to one tael of silver. Who wouldn't be envious if he told others about it? Seeing that the villagers' lives are getting better and better, he, the village chief, is also happy from the bottom of his heart.
"Okay, we'll officially start recruiting tomorrow, at 7:00 pm. Uncle Zhao, remember to make it clear to everyone."
Shen Xiangwan stood up as she spoke. This time all three workshops were recruiting workers, and they wanted quite a few people. The initial estimate was to recruit two to three hundred people, but she would no longer recruit people herself. It would be presided over by Zhou Changqing and his wife and Mu Yunran. But the requirements would remain the same and strict. Not to mention the papermaking and printing workshops, the people in the ointment workshop had to be clean and tidy. After all, those things were to be applied on the face or body, and she would not destroy her own reputation.
"Don't worry, I promise to do it properly for you."
He believed that as long as they spread the news that they were recruiting, there would be plenty of people rushing to join them.
"Okay, thank you Uncle Zhao. I'll go back first if I have nothing else to do."
Smiling and nodding, Shen Xiangwan walked away. Zhao Dashan also stood up and walked them to the door as usual, but...
"elder sister!"
"Bump!"
Before Shen Xiangwan could turn around, two skinny figures suddenly rushed in front of them and knelt down in front of her without saying a word: "Sister, please save us, Brother Yang and his men are going to sell us to a brothel."
"Sister, we dare not ask you to take us in. We only ask you to give us a way to live. We don't want to become prostitutes."
After they kowtowed to her several times in succession, they raised their heads and looked at her with tears in their eyes. They were none other than the two remaining daughters of the Shen family, Shen Xiangtong and Shen Xiangyu. In just a few months, they had become even thinner, almost leaving only a layer of skin and bones. Obviously, the Shen Xiangyang brothers did not treat them well.
"I'm not your sister."
Shen Xiangwan took two steps back and frowned almost imperceptibly. Shen Xiangyang was a man who knew how to act. After selling Shen Xiangyue and her daughter, he went to the village chief to exchange the homestead the next day. He had not taken the initiative to appear in front of her in the past few months. If they had not suddenly appeared, she would have almost forgotten their existence.
"elder sister?"
Hearing this, the two sisters were both stunned. Was she still unwilling to help them? If they hadn't been forced, they wouldn't have come to ask her. In just a few months, Brother Yang and his men had spent all the money they earned from selling their stepmother. If they hadn't suddenly gotten up last night, they wouldn't have heard that Brother Yang and his men had tried the same old trick again and wanted to sell them to a brothel. They were so scared that they didn't sleep all night. When they saw Shen Xiangwan coming to the Zhao family today, they quickly ran out to ask her. Apart from her, they couldn't think of anyone else who could help them.
"Sister, please help us. I am willing to serve you as your slave, please!" Coming back to his senses, the fourteen-year-old Shen Xiangtong knelt down and crawled forward to hug her legs, crying like a baby.
"Sister... No, Madam Wei, we are really desperate. Please be kind and have mercy on us. Please, please..."
Seeing this, Shen Xiangyu hurriedly followed suit and cried for help. Although they had long guessed that their brothers would set their sights on them after spending all their money, she never dreamed that they would be so cruel as to sell them to a brothel. If they didn't find a way to save themselves, their lives would be truly ruined.
"Shen Xiangtong, Shen Xiangyu!"
The next second, Shen Xiangyang's gloomy voice suddenly rang out. The two sisters shuddered reflexively, and both climbed up and hid behind Shen Xiangwan and the others.
"Come back with us."
Coming quickly in front of them, Shen Xiangyang looked at Shen Xiangwan with fear, and shot a vicious look at the Shen Xiangtong and her sister who were hiding behind her. He didn't expect that they actually heard his conversation with Xiangtian, and dared to run to Shen Xiangwan for help. If he had known earlier, he would have sold them out earlier.
"No, I'm not going back."
"Mrs. Wei, save us..."
The two of them held Shen Xiangwan's hands, one on the left and one on the right, and their skinny bodies couldn't stop shaking. They were afraid, they were really afraid. For any woman, a brothel is the most terrifying place.
"What's going on? Why did you sell them to a brothel?"
Zhao Dashan knew something about the entanglement between them, and not wanting to make things difficult for Shen Xiangwan, he took the initiative to step forward. Over the years, he had seen those exiled commoners who couldn't make ends meet selling their children, but at most they sold people to human traffickers, and then they became slaves and could only serve as slaves. But Shen Xiangyang wanted to sell his two sisters to brothels. It was hard to believe that this man was too cruel.
"I... this is our family affair, please don't meddle in it, village chief."
Looking at him, and then glancing at Shen Xiangwan calmly, Shen Xiangyang said with his neck stiff.
"you···"
"Uncle Zhao."
As the village chief of Yong'an Village, no one dared to talk to him like this. Zhao Dashan was about to get angry, but Shen Xiangwan, who had remained silent, stopped him. Almost immediately, everyone's eyes shifted to her. A deep fear appeared on Shen Xiangyang's face and eyes. Others didn't know, but he knew that Shen Xiangyue had been killed by her.
Facing their gazes, Shen Xiangwan said calmly: "This is indeed your family affair, and no one else has the right to interfere. But what if you and Shen Xiangtian are gone?"
"What do you mean?"
Shen Xiangyang's pupils shrank, and he had a bad feeling in his heart. Did she want someone to kill them?
