The other party didn't speak, and Su Yizhao didn't speak either. She pricked up her ears to listen to what was going on downstairs.
When I heard that the fifth prince had reported five thousand taels, I couldn't help but feel heartbroken.
It's not her own money, so she doesn't feel bad at all! Can she not pay back the full five thousand taels?
Seeing that Su Yizhao was absent-minded, Zong Zeming was speechless.
Doesn't this girl know what situation she is in now? She is still distracted?
After hearing that no one was bidding on the first floor, Su Yizhao was sure that they had given up, but he didn't know if the fifth prince sent anyone to follow him.
"You are quite courageous. You actually dare to come to a brothel dressed like this!"
Zong Zeming was very angry. Did he take himself seriously?
"Prince?" Su Yizhao's eyes widened in surprise. What day is it today? How come they all met together?
Knowing that he was an acquaintance, Su Yizhao immediately put down his guard and sat down on the stool next to him.
"You wish you had told me it was you, and you still made it so mysterious."
"Do you have the consciousness of being a woman? Are you able to come here? I have told you a long time ago that I will help you find out the news. Do you know how dangerous it is for you to find out the information alone?"
Zong Zeming's tone was very solemn, different from the relaxed and comfortable tone in the past.
Su Yizhao said innocently: "I didn't come alone, I snuck in with an acquaintance. If someone hadn't interfered, nothing would have happened."
She thought of the fourth prince, blaming him for being too suspicious and delaying their affairs.
"That's right! Send someone to follow the man who snatched the beauty downstairs. I suspect he is Chu Huan."
"Do you need to remind me? I have sent people to follow me a long time ago, so your coming will only cause chaos."
Su Yizhao felt relieved when he heard that the man would not run away.
She then looked at the cubicle, curled her lips and said, "Are you the owner behind this place? It seems that the Wenwen Pavilion also belongs to you, right?"
"Huh! Force good girls into prostitution." Su Yizhao snorted coldly.
"I only took over later. Most of the women here are poor people, and I will not force them to accept guests. Whether to stay or not is their own choice."
Su Yizhao fell silent. Many people couldn't look back, so they gave up on themselves.
The world is so vast that there is no place for them. How can they make a living after they leave?
"Stay away from the fifth prince, he has an ulterior motive for coming here this time." Zong Zeming said solemnly.
Covered by the mask, he stared at Su Yizhao with unscrupulous eyes. From her black hair to her delicate eyebrows, to her slender neck, and finally to her white and delicate jade fingers.
Everything seems to be just right. Dressed in women's clothing and picking up a round fan, she naturally looks like a woman.
The moment she lowered her head to contemplate, her long and thick eyelashes formed a shadow on her eyelids. The shape of her eyes was extremely beautiful, and he couldn't help but move closer.
He moved his body and got closer.
"How do you know that the fifth prince is here? I saw that there was no name written on the post. It is said that whoever gets the post can come." Su Yizhao was very curious.
"Of course I have my own way."
Realizing that Zong Zeming's voice was richer than before, Su Yizhao looked up and realized that the two of them were very close to each other at the moment.
"That's why you tried to lure me away when the fourth prince appeared? The fourth prince has always been shrewd. Fortunately, you let Mother Xu appear in time."
A white-masked guard walked up to Zong Zeming and whispered a few words in his ear.
"The people from the fourth prince and the fifth prince have sneaked in a long time ago and are looking for you everywhere now. The fifth prince bought the woman for five thousand taels of silver, but his purpose this time is for the blood of the shark."
"As for the fourth prince, she has the same purpose as the fifth prince."
"The blood of sharks? Do sharks really exist in this world? Why do I think this is a legend?"
Su Yizhao reflected on it, could it be that he had traveled to the world of cultivating immortals, and that he was still plotting here without knowing it?
"It's not the legendary mermaid, it's just a magical humanoid fish with hands like a human. Legend has it that their blood can detoxify all kinds of poisons and even have the effect of prolonging life. They came here just for this thing. This is the first time
When something like this appears, the price will be very high.”
Zong Zeming saw Su Yizhao's curious and wide-eyed look, and suddenly felt a little cute.
He wanted to rub Su Yizhao's head, but raised his hand but put it down again.
The hair is nicely combed and cannot be damaged.
"Then I want to see how magical the shark's blood is."
Su Yizhao was immediately interested, but she always felt that the purpose of the fifth and fourth princes coming here was not that simple.
"By the way, if you catch Chu Huan, tell me and I will interrogate him personally."
Zong Zeming agreed, but turned his eyes to the fifth prince's compartment opposite, only to find that only the fourth prince and the oiran Yurou were sitting there.
However, at this moment, the fifth prince pushed the doors of each room with a livid face. He searched around, but still did not see Su Yizhao.
Ignoring the curses in the room, he shouted angrily behind him: "Didn't I ask you to follow me? Where are the people?"
"It just took a blink of an eye and the person disappeared."
"Trash, can't even keep up with anyone. Where's Mother Xu? Let her come to see me."
The fifth prince couldn't care less. Who knew if Su Yizhao would be in danger as time went on?
If I had known earlier, I shouldn't have worried about Fourth Brother and pursued him directly.
"My subordinate went to look for the madam just now, but she hid and was nowhere to be seen."
The fifth prince was furious. He stared at his subordinates with fierce eyes, and then raised his head to look at the third floor.
"Immediately bring someone to search here. We must find Mother Xu."
The fourth prince over there looked at a horse being auctioned below. The next item was shark blood, and Xiaowu hadn't come back yet.
Who is that woman? Why is Xiaowu so interested in her?
Glancing at the oiran next to him, Yurou was indeed pretty, but the figure of the girl just now still appeared in his mind.
It's a pity that I don't know what she looks like. What makes Xiao Wu so attracted to her must be her peerless appearance, right?
Or maybe, that woman’s identity forces Xiao Wu to pay attention to her?
Some familiar facial features echoed in his mind. He always felt that he had seen that woman before, but where had he seen her?
The fifth prince angrily returned to the compartment. When the fourth prince saw this, he immediately reminded him: "The auction for the shark's blood is about to begin. You bought the woman just now for five thousand taels of silver. Do you have the silver to continue bidding later? I
Even though he is your fourth brother, he will not let you do it."
The fifth prince felt uneasy, "Then it depends on how much money the fourth brother is willing to spend. I have money."
In fact, the fifth prince came this time and brought 30,000 taels. He originally thought it was enough, but he had just used 5,000 taels, and he was really worried that it was not enough.
