Chapter 166 Evildoers! Do they still need the law to protect themselves?
Zhang Fan pushed her away and walked down without hesitation.
The scene inside the secret chamber made even the Black Ice Guard soldiers, who were used to life and death, gasp in shock.
In rows of iron cages, a dozen or so thin and frail girls were huddled together.
They were barely clothed, their bodies covered with bruises and hideous branding marks.
The blank, vacant gaze is clearly meant to satisfy the perverse desires of certain customers.
Zhang Fan's heart sank to the bottom, and a raging fire burned in his chest.
He suppressed his murderous intent and tried his best to make his voice sound gentle as he asked the caged girl closest to him:
"Don't be afraid, we're here to rescue you!"
"Are you... from Shangdang County?"
however.
To everyone's surprise!
"No...no! I...I did it voluntarily!"
"I did it voluntarily!"
"I...I willingly became a prostitute!"
Upon hearing this, the girl showed no sign of hope.
Instead, his whole body trembled violently, an unexpectedly intense reaction, his eyes filled with extreme terror, and he shook his head desperately.
The other girls did the same, burying their heads even deeper, not daring to meet Zhang Fan's gaze.
What happened?
Zhang Fan and the people from Black Ice Platform were stunned, completely baffled as to why they were reacting this way.
Just then, the madam who had been brought down sneered.
A bunch of idiots!
These girls have all undergone "special training"!
Meixianglou would often send people to pretend to be "saviors" to test them. If anyone dared to tell the truth, they would be beaten to death in front of everyone.
Over time, these girls' willpower was completely destroyed!
In their eyes, Zhang Fan was nothing more than another "test".
The atmosphere in the sealed room was heavy.
Zhang Fan's question went unanswered.
The girls just shook their heads in terror, looking at Zhang Fan as if he were a demon!
Just then.
The madam, who was being held back, sneered at the sight.
She seemed to have regained her confidence, straightened her back, and began to shout in a shrill voice:
"What exactly do you want to do?"
"I'm telling you, this is a legitimate business, and they all stayed voluntarily!"
"You forcibly broke into a private residence, are you trying to extract a confession through torture?"
"You have no respect for Qin law! I'm going to report this to the Court of Justice!"
"I'm going to sue you!"
"Report to the authorities?"
Zhang Fan slowly repeated the two words, his voice soft and cold.
"hehe……"
He suddenly chuckled softly!
Evildoers!
Do we still need to use the law to protect ourselves?
The laughter stopped.
Zhang Fan slowly turned around, his gaze fixed on the brothel madam who was still shouting.
In that instant, the madam's arrogance vanished.
She saw Zhang Fan's eyes!
There was no anger, no pity in those eyes, only an empty killing intent.
It's like looking at a dead object!
The madam's blood froze; fear gripped her throat, rendering her speechless.
My legs went weak and my body trembled uncontrollably.
Zhang Fan didn't speak, but under everyone's gaze, he raised his right hand and gripped the hilt of the sword at his waist.
"Clang!"
A clear, metallic sound echoed throughout the secret chamber!
A long sword was drawn!
The sword reflected the candlelight, its spine engraved with fine patterns and Qin seal script.
The Sword that Stabilizes Qin!
As soon as the sword was drawn, all the Black Ice Guards present, regardless of what they were doing, immediately turned around.
The movements were synchronized: kneeling on one knee, right hand on chest, head bowed!
"Long live the Qin Dynasty! Long live Your Majesty!"
A low growl echoed in the sealed room.
The madam was completely stunned.
Although she didn't know Zhang Fan, she understood the significance of the sword and what the Black Ice Platform's reaction meant.
The Black Ice Guard only obeys the Emperor!
The only thing that could command such awe and kneel before them, besides the emperor's personal presence, was this sword.
The young man before them held imperial power in his hands.
"No...no...spare me...Your Majesty...please spare me..."
The madam was terrified and collapsed to the ground, her crotch soaked.
She crawled backward on her hands and feet, trying to escape, uttering meaningless howls.
Zhang Fan's expression was indifferent.
With a flick of his wrist, the longsword flashed silver through the air.
The action is fast.
"puff--"
A sharp sound of a blade slicing into flesh rang out.
The madam's wailing stopped.
Her body froze on the spot, her eyes wide open, and a line of blood appeared on her neck, then widened.
Its head flew off, and finally fell to the ground with a "thud," rolling next to an iron cage.
Blood gushed from the headless cavity, and it collapsed to the ground with a thud.
The entire secret room was completely silent.
The Black Ice Guards kneeling on the ground were utterly shocked!
This was the first time they had ever witnessed a celestial master kill someone!
I thought he was just a weak scholar!
This immortal master is calmer than they imagined!
The girls in the cages were so terrified by the bloody scene that they huddled deep inside, covering their mouths tightly, afraid to make a sound.
But their eyes were changing.
She's dead... that madam is dead.
The madam who had been tormenting them was dead!
But at this moment, they felt no joy whatsoever, only endless numbness!
They began to whisper among themselves, their voices filled with uncertainty and a glimmer of hope.
"It seems... to be real..."
"That person... really killed her..."
"Could...could it be...just acting?"
Zhang Fan turned around and looked at the girls, his voice taking on a warmer tone.
"Release them all."
The armored soldiers on the Black Ice Platform immediately stood up and used their knives to pry open the iron locks.
"Don't be afraid!"
Zhang Fan looked at the trembling girls who emerged from the cage and said softly,
"You're safe! You're saved!"
"Now tell me, are you from Shangdang County?"
His voice soothed them.
The girls looked at each other, still hesitant and afraid.
Just then, the girl who looked the thinnest could no longer hold back.
She clenched her fists tightly, her body trembling with excitement.
A companion behind her tried to pull her up.
But the girl shook off her companion's hand, staggered forward, and knelt down in front of Zhang Fan, bursting into tears!
The cries were heart-wrenching!
"If we don't resist, how long are we supposed to wait?"
"Am I to be tortured to death here?!"
She cried out hoarsely, "I'd rather die right now than live like this!"
This scene.
This caused the armored soldiers on the Black Ice Platform behind him to tremble.
They were the executors of the empire, accustomed to violence and death.
But at this moment, upon hearing that a citizen of Qin had suffered such a fate in Xianyang, they were filled with rage.
Zhang Fan stood there, motionless.
Followed by.
He slowly knelt down on one knee, bringing himself to eye level with the girl kneeling on the ground.
This action stunned the crying girl.
Zhang Fan reached out his hand, wanting to wipe away her tears, but stopped in mid-air.
He spoke in a gentle voice, clear yet firm:
"Don't be afraid, look at me."
