CHAPTER XIV: The Testimony of the Kagi

PreviousBack to directoryNext
 Speaking of Goulan tile houses, Chang'an City includes various types.

But basically most of the Goulan tile houses are concentrated in Pingkangfang.

This is equivalent to the comprehensive entertainment and leisure area of ​​Chang'an City, with various clubs...ahem, all kinds of hook-and-rail and tiled houses are lined up in rows, which makes it look like a competition for excellence.

However, the nature of the brothels here is still different.

There are both government-run Jiaofangsi and various private ones.

For example, Zuixiaoxiang, where Zhao Xun had his last conflict with the King of Wei, was under the management of the Jiaofang Division.

The reason why Zhao Xun went there at that time was mainly because he could have sex for free...

However, this Miaoyin Building is an exception. It was not built in Pingkangfang, where there are many Goulan tiles and houses, but in the West Market.

Probably the madam of Miaoyin House was very self-aware and felt that the girls in the building were not as good as the leading courtesans in Pingkangfang. Instead of competing with those popular ladies, it would be better to find another way to build the brothel in the West Market.

Compared with high-consumption areas like Pingkangfang, the consumption level in West City is obviously lower.

It can only be said that Miaoyinlou’s positioning and pricing are very precise, and it follows the path of small profits but quick turnover.

I just feel sorry for those girls, it must be very hard...

I don't mean to say this, but Zhao Xun and Jia Xingwen left Hu Shang's wine shop and immediately went to Miaoyin Tower in a furious manner.

Although Miaoyin Tower and Hu Shang Winery are both in Pingkangfang, they are quite far apart. Even practitioners like Zhao Xun and Jia Xingwen have to walk a full moment.

Goulanwashe is usually open at night. Although the door is open during the day, it is obviously empty and no one is interested.

Zhao Xun and Jia Xingwen were purposeful and naturally did not want to waste time.

After finally putting on makeup once, it would be more cost-effective to do more visits.

"Oh, you two gentlemen, please come in quickly."

Mr. Turtle, who was dressed in a blue shirt and wearing a futou on his head, saw that there were people coming in broad daylight, and his eyes narrowed as he smiled.

Zhao Xun, the dignified son of Duke Chengguo, had naturally never been to the West Market before, let alone the Miaoyin Tower.

As for Jia Xingwen, although he has been to Xishi before, he has never been to Miaoyin Tower. This is because he basically solves his loneliness problem by going to Pingkangfang for free.

After all, as a bad person, the entertainment of the Jiaofang Division under the Ministry of Etiquette is regarded as employee welfare.

Therefore, neither of them has ever been to Miaoyin Tower.

Although Mr. Turtle saw the two of them face to face, seeing that they were dressed in extraordinary clothes, he must be either rich or noble, and he made up his mind to serve them well.

The turtle man greeted Zhao Xun and Jia Xingwen inside, and said with a smile as he walked: "The two young masters came a little early, and the girls are still asleep. But it doesn't matter, I will go and ask someone to wake them up.

But it will take some time for the girls to freshen up. You two gentlemen can sit down and have a drink first."

Zhao Xun immediately raised his hand and said: "No need, we are not here to find girls."

Hearing this, Mr. Gui was stunned for a moment, and then he forced out a professional smile: "Young master, you are joking. Why did you come to our Miaoyin House to have fun with a girl?"

"Where is your madam?"

"Well?"

Mr. Gui was stunned again, and after a long time he laughed out loud: "Oh, I didn't expect that the young master is so good at talking. To be honest, our mother Xu was also the most beautiful woman back then, and she was really popular in Pingkangfang. Now, ah

Although Mother Xu is in her mid-thirties, she still retains her charm. The young master has good taste."

The turtle man thought that Zhao Lun liked mature women, so he smiled brightly.

Zhao Xun said coldly: "I'll say it again, I'm not here to have fun. The bad guys are handling the case. Call your madam out as soon as possible."

"ah?"

When he heard the word "bad guy", the turtle man subconsciously took a step back as if he had seen a ghost, and could not help but tremble.

"Ah, here, I'll call you right now, I'll go right now..."

After coming back to his senses, the turtle hurriedly left.

Zhao Xun shook his head helplessly.

Although bad people keep a low profile, they should reveal their identity without hesitation when it is time to reveal it.

Anyway, they have put on makeup, so Mr. Turtle must not know their true identity.

About sixty breaths later, the old madam fiddled with the hairpin and hairpin on her head, while swaying her buttocks and walking towards Zhao Lun.

Zhao Xun saw that the madam had a graceful figure and was indeed a beauty. Unfortunately, the investigation was very important now and she couldn't be distracted.

"Two young gentlemen, oh, these are two officials. What kind of wind has brought you here?"

"Bad people are handling cases, I'll ask you questions and answer them."

At this moment, Zhao Xun was completely in the state, and he was just an interrogation machine with no emotion.

"On the night of August 13th, who were the girls you went to drink with at Iztak Wine Shop?"

"Hey, let me think about this carefully."

The madam felt dizzy and rubbed her forehead while thinking about it.

"There seems to be Chunyan, Fuxiang, and... and Lanzhi."

The madam said very seriously.

"Go and call them all. I want to ask them one by one."

The current clue is that He Yushi had contact with the Dongyue people a few days before his death. Zhao Xun feels that it is very suspicious and must get to the bottom of this and find out something.

The madam was obeying her words at the moment and did not dare to raise any objections.

"Okay, sir, please wait a moment. I'll call you soon."

After saying that, he turned around and hurried upstairs.

After about half a moment, several brothel girls followed the madam downstairs.

These people obviously looked tired, and some of their hair was a little disheveled, probably because they hadn't had time to wash themselves up.

"Master, this is Chunyan, this is Hanxiang, and this is Lanzhi."

The madam forced out a professional smile and introduced them one by one.

"A few of you should have been drinking at Iztak Wine Shop on August 13th. In addition to Mr. He Yushi, there were also several East Vietnamese people. Please try your best to recall what happened at that time."





Zhao Xun frowned a little when he got the reminiscence documents of several brothel girls.

Although these people recalled some conversations between Yushi He and the Dongyue people, they seemed irrelevant.

The only thing that Zhao Xun cared about was what Yushi He said: Ten days later the emperor will worship the heaven at the Temple of Heaven in Chang'an City.

A major event such as the emperor's sacrifice to heaven will definitely be announced to all officials in advance so that officials can prepare in advance.

But He Yushi had no reason to leak this news.

Especially the person from East Vietnam whose identity is very sensitive.

Zhao Xun felt that this clue was worth digging into.

Jia Xingwen also feels the same way.

After all, he is an "old" bad guy.

Years of experience in investigating crimes told him that He Yushi's behavior was abnormal.

When something goes wrong, there must be a monster.

It seemed that things were not as simple as he imagined.

Zhao Xun tried hard to calm down and carefully thought about the connection.

He Yushi's death must be related to the emperor's sacrifice to heaven. What did he know? What was the person who silenced He Yushi deliberately hiding?
