Duanmu Qingchen smiled at Yu Sanniang who was sitting in the carriage. She was leaning against the carriage and her curves were also well-proportioned. "Sanniang, take a ride~~"
Sanniang chuckled, glanced at him, and entered the carriage.
Duanmu Qingchen wanted to get on the carriage, but suddenly, a pair of embroidered shoes stepped in front of him, on the carriage board.
He looked over and found it was Lian Youyou. He only had eyes for the beauty, not Lian Youyou. He licked his lips, and his peach blossom eyes narrowed slightly, revealing his displeasure as the Crown Prince: "Dare to stop me? Don't you know who I am? Humph." Duanmu Qingchen raised his face slightly, full of pride and the dignity of the royal family.
Lian glanced at him leisurely, narrowed her eyes slightly, and immediately saw the twinkling of stars on him. She understood everything and called out solemnly, "Duanmu Qingchen."
"Oh." Duanmu Qingchen answered subconsciously, and was stunned for a moment. He immediately looked at Lian Youyou, and was suddenly dazzled by the sunlight behind her. In the dazzling sunlight, Lian Youyou was like a goddess covered in golden light who had descended to the earth.
Lian Youyou chuckled: "I'll give you four words: male, female, yes, no." After that, Lian Youyou drove away.
Duanmu Qingchen stood there in a daze. This Lian Youyou was so bold! Not only did she dare to call him by his name, she even dared to leave him aside! Did she not want to live? !
Suddenly, Fu Mingrui's horse passed by him and chased the carriage without even greeting him.
Huh? Today, his brothers also left him out? Did he really not show off today, so everyone ignored him, the Crown Prince
On this side, Duanmu Qingchen got on his horse in frustration and chased Fu Mingrui, while on the other side, the constable stopped Ma Guanqun.
"Your Excellency Shangshu, you are investigating a case, please do not follow me. We understand that you are eager to find your son, and we will notify you as soon as we have any news. Please wait for good news at home." The constable stopped Ma Guanqun aside, and everyone left.
Ma Guanqun was anxious and worried. Neither Fu Mingrui nor the Ninth Sect had given him any information, nor did they explain what happened to those butterflies? What on earth had happened to his son Ma Yun? !
Saixian Pavilion is the leading brothel in the southeastern area of the capital.
The capital city has a hierarchy of levels, and brothels also have levels. Not ordinary brothels can settle in this southeast area.
The Qian Dynasty Palace faces south and is located in the north. Therefore, the northern district of the capital is the most important, and those who can live near the palace are members of the royal family. For example, the crown prince also has a separate residence in the northern district.
The northeastern area close to the imperial palace is the residence of the first-rank officials, and Fu Mingrui's family lives in the northeastern area. Then, there are the residences of hundreds of officials in the eastern area.
The southern part was full of wealthy merchants from Beijing, who came to pay homage to the imperial palace across the lake. The closer one was to the lake, the richer one was and the higher his status was. Because wealthy merchants gathered in the southern area, the entire southern area, including the southeast and southwest, was also the most prosperous place in Beijing, and could be called the commercial district of Beijing.
There is a clear distinction between politics and business on both sides of Mingjing Lake.
The Saixian Pavilion is located in the only place near the lake in the southeast area, which shows how powerful its background is.
The Eight Gates were investigating a case, and someone was clearing the way ahead. The road became wider, and Lian Youyou's carriage and Fu Mingrui's horse moved forward side by side, heading straight for Saixian Pavilion.
The gossip factor in the minds of people on both sides is already rampant. What major case has just happened
Fu Mingrui caught up with Lian Youyou's carriage and said seriously, "I just thought about it carefully. The butterfly in Southern Xinjiang must have been brought by someone. If the owner of the butterfly killed Ma Yun, what was his motive? Ma Yun has never left the capital, let alone been to Southern Xinjiang. How did he become enemies with the people of Southern Xinjiang?"
Lian Youyou drove the carriage and glanced at Fu Mingrui. This man was eager to learn. He smiled and said, "Isn't this a problem that you, Fu Mingrui, should solve?"
Fu Mingrui was once again turned away by Lian Youyou. It seemed that the other party had no intention of sharing information with him because of the gambling. Fu Mingrui also understood why Lian Youyou did this, as it was related to the survival of their Nine Sects.
He took two more steps and looked at Lian Youyou humbly and sincerely: "If there was no gambling game today, would you be willing to tell me?"
Lian Youyou smiled, turned around, and said playfully: "Just tell me if you pay me."
Fu Mingrui was startled, and Lian drove forward leisurely.
Duanmu Qingchen caught up with him, and gave Fu Mingrui a fierce look with his peach blossom eyes: "You chase after girls so quickly that you don't even want your brothers anymore. Humph! You value women over friendship!"
Fu Mingrui felt depressed and whipped his horse faster, urging Duanmu Qingchen to move forward. He was handling a case, but Duanmu Qingchen stuck by his side. It would have been fine if he didn't help, but he even chased after his opponent. He was really lustful and refused to turn back no matter how much he was persuaded.
The Saixian Pavilion was open at night. In the broad daylight, the madam and the girls were all asleep. Only the pimp and the maid were busy cleaning the entire pavilion. Suddenly, the constables from the Eight Gates came in, startling them, and hurried to inform the madam who had not yet woken up.
Cui Ma, the madam of Saixian Pavilion, is actually backed by the Feng family, the richest family in the southern district. The second daughter of the Feng family married Qi Rui. Does Qi Rui sound familiar? He is the Minister of Justice who is in the same boat with Fu Kun.
But his level is not enough to be the master behind Saixian Pavilion. He can only be considered to have climbed up to the Feng family, because the eldest daughter of the Feng family is the concubine of Prince Kang in the northern district of the capital. This Prince Kang is the uncle of Crown Prince Duanmu Qingchen!
Therefore, behind Saixian Pavilion is Prince Kang. As the saying goes, every inch of land in the capital is worth a lot of money. If you don't have a backer, you won't even have the land to make dried tofu if you want to do business.
With the prince as her backer, Cui Ma is no longer an ordinary brothel owner. She is not afraid even if the royal family comes.
Mother Cui, surrounded by her husband and thugs, came to the door and put her hands on her waist. "What are you doing? The Eight Gates are investigating a case and it has come to me?! They don't even ask who owns this Saixian Pavilion?!"
As soon as Lian Youyou's carriage arrived, she saw Cui Ma scolding the constables who had come in from the Eight Gates at the door.
"This place belongs to Prince Kang~~~That's why Cui Ma is so arrogant~~~" Sanniang leaned against the carriage and said lazily.
Lian Youyou laughed and dropped the reins: "I am a god. Who in this world is greater than me?"
"Puff! Cough cough cough." Sanniang choked on the cigarette again. She had just seen Lian Youyou handling the case in an extremely handsome manner. For a moment, she felt that Lian Youyou had a charm that was difficult for both men and women to resist. But at this moment, she went crazy again.
Lian Youyou jumped off the carriage, and Fu Mingrui's horse had also arrived.
This time, Sanniang did not get off the car. There were only women in this brothel, what was there to seduce
When Fu Mingrui saw Lian Youyou walking towards the gate of Saixian Pavilion, he hurriedly dismounted. Just as Lian Youyou stood in front of Cui Ma, Fu Mingrui had already stood beside Lian Youyou, and they stood in front of the gate of Saixian Pavilion together with Lian Youyou.
Duanmu Qingchen came leisurely. He knew that Sanniang was in the carriage without seeing her. He had peach blossom eyes and quietly sat in front of the carriage, leaning against the curtain, with one leg bent, ready to watch the show. (To be continued)
