The wronged female supporting role made a comeback with a divine reply

Chapter 226 The Secret Behind the Goddess Temple

Magistrate He sat on the chair with a serious expression.

At this time, a man walked in and said to He Zhifu: "Sir, what should we do now? Wan Weishang has already gone to Yang's house."

"Humph, just go ahead! Even if he tells the truth, what does it matter? There is still no evidence!"

"But sir, I heard that Wang Jinnian is well-known in the capital for his stubbornness. He can find out everything clearly and is deeply favored by the emperor!"

"Sacred Heart? Too bad he can't go back!"

"You mean..."

"After three days, stop selecting waiters and kill the pigs!"

"Isn't this... a bit urgent?"

"Urgent? If not, our pigs will be killed by Wang Jinnian! Who will eat the meat then?"

"Yes!"

"By the way, did Miss Yang participate in the waiter selection?"

"Not yet, sir. The Yang family won't agree to it."

"Disagree? Why would a concubine's daughter disagree? Put pressure on her parents! Even if you want to kill the pig, you have to feed it something good first."

"Yes, my lord!"

Yang Mansion.

As soon as Bai Zhaozhao and his companions arrived at the gate of the Yang family, they saw that it was full of people. It must be that Old Madam Yang learned the news in advance and sent people to greet them.

Tsk tsk, you know what, the identity of a county lady is really good! It is especially useful after leaving the capital.

Madam Yang was a very kind old lady. When she saw Bai Zhaozhao for the first time, she stood up excitedly, said a lot of compliments, and then began to ask about Bai Zhaozhao's situation in the capital.

Bai Zhaozhao knew what the old lady meant. She hadn't seen her daughter for many years and must have missed her terribly, so Bai Zhaozhao told her many interesting stories in Prince An's Mansion, as well as the stories of Prince An, Tang Yanyan and Xiao Ping'er. Of course, she also praised Bai Hao and gave him some points.

The old lady was very satisfied with what she heard. She reluctantly let Bai Zhaozhao go until dusk and gave him many good gifts.

Bai Zhaozhao was also satisfied, but she still remembered the important business, so she hurried to find Wang Jinnian. Afterwards, Yang Tongzhi took the two of them to meet Wan Weishang.

Wan Weishang himself has realized that the people in front of him are his last hope, so he organized his thoughts and began to tell his experience.

He is in his early twenties, handsome, and of average family background, but quite talented. At first he was reluctant to participate in the selection of servants, but he could not resist the persuasion of his classmates. His mother also hoped that he would give it a try, which would not only allow him to get a subsidy of five taels of silver from the government, but also improve his status, which would also be beneficial for his future examination for the Juren degree.

And just like that, he went.

The selection manager's eyes lit up when he saw him, and said that it happened that a waiter had an appointment that day and he was just the right person to fill in.

Therefore, he encountered almost no tests and seemed to have succeeded simply based on his outstanding appearance.

After being selected, he did some simple cleaning work in the backyard of the Goddess Temple.

Later he learned that there were a total of one hundred so-called waiters, fifty men and fifty women. After being selected, they only needed to work for one hour a day within a month, and were free for the rest of the time. However, most people would choose to live in the small rooms arranged by the steward because of their piety and the distance from home.

Since some people leave at the end of their term and some are selected at any time, and the Temple of the Goddess is very solemn, people don't communicate much in normal times.

Of course, what the government means is that if you want to leave within less than a month, you can, but you will lose the subsidy.

Gradually, Wan Weishang felt that something was wrong. It seemed that more and more people were leaving early. Why was this?

A few days later, a manager came to him and said that he hoped he could help move some things from the farm outside the city, and he would be given an extra 10 or 20 taels of silver. Naturally, he agreed.

Who knew that this was the beginning of his nightmare.

The manor was magnificent, with pavilions and waterside terraces, full of luxury.

As soon as he entered, he was caught by several servants. After being beaten and scolded, he was locked up in a basement cell, where he starved for three days and two nights!

Just when he thought he was about to die, several servants carried him out, fed him some porridge, gave him a bath and changed his clothes, and told him that as long as he served the nobleman well, he would be able to get a large amount of money, and he would be let go on time!

Only then did he realize that the waiter at the Goddess Temple was a scam!

All the good-looking people among them will be sent here for the entertainment of those so-called nobles!

It was like a hidden brothel! Some people even had sex with both men and women!

Wan Weishang was in despair. He wanted to commit suicide by banging his head against the wall, but was saved by a servant. That night he was drugged and sent to the bed of a wealthy businessman.

The rich businessman was a pervert. He took out a lot of props, tied him up and tortured him all night.

He just felt like he had entered hell!

After three unsuccessful suicide attempts, he finally realized why he should die.

Damn these wealthy gentry! They are the masterminds behind the Goddess Temple!

Not him! Not the rest of the victims!

So he began to cooperate, conserving his strength, and waiting for an opportunity to escape.

Unfortunately, he failed. After being caught, he was severely punished by the steward. It was also at this time that he accidentally saw the face of Magistrate He!

Therefore, the person in charge gave him the drug again.

This medicine will make his body weak, and coupled with the torture he suffers every day, even if he returns home in the future, he will be half dead.

However, surprisingly, he was not really weak. As if God had mercy on him, he escaped again!

This time, he succeeded!

Then, with a heart full of resentment, he found a machete from somewhere and rushed towards the Temple of the Goddess!

Unfortunately, he was arrested by Magistrate He again!

Bai Zhaozhao already knew what happened next. She asked, "Will the rest of the waiters be released?"

Wan Weishang was silent for a while, then laughed sarcastically: "Of course, they are angry but dare not speak out, and even get a higher status, and then choose to conceal it!"

Bai Zhaozhao: "So you are the only one who is willing to reveal the truth, which is why Magistrate He wanted to silence you, and the village chief of your village is his pawn!"

Yang Tongzhi's face was gloomy. "No wonder, no wonder Prefect He has been able to raise a lot of money in the past year! He built bridges and roads, bribed officials, and fought for power! It's a pity that my Yang family built the Goddess Temple and actually made wedding clothes for him!"

At this time, Wang Jinnian stood up, walked to Wan Weishang, bowed and said, "Mr. Wan, thank you for telling us the truth. I admire your courage!"

After hearing these words of affirmation, Wan Weishang was excited and quickly responded, "A real man should do what he should do and not do what he shouldn't do!"

Bai Zhaozhao said to him, "Don't worry, I'll take care of this matter. Just take good care of your injuries!"

"Okay, thank you, County Lord!"

After they left, Wang Jinnian asked, "Zhao Zhao, how do you want to manage this?"

Bai Zhaozhao shook his head: "I don't know yet."

Yang Tongzhi said: "Or, why not just tear down the Goddess Temple!"
