The Kyoto government is subject to the second prince's warning, and knows that the owner of Baoyuelou has a close relationship with the well-known villains in Kyoto, so it has always turned a blind eye to Baoyuelou, but the Overwatch Council has no such aspect Although they do not have the right to investigate the civil affairs in Kyoto, they have found a lot of relevant information from various aspects under the pretext of investigating the malfeasance of the Kyoto Prefecture.
Sitting in the study, Fan Xian looked at the case in front of him, and couldn't help frowning deeply. There are two hosts in Baoyuelou, they are mysterious and ruthless, basically few people have seen them. As for Baoyuelou's actions, they are indeed bold and ruthless. The building was only opened this spring, and it only took a few months. Under the dual force of force and money, the business of the nearby building was shut down, and many famous red ladies were forcibly snatched into the building. Daxian.
For Baoyuelou and his party, Fan Xian could tell from the details that the owner of this building must be a master of management. What Tie said was right, in just one month, four disobedient prostitutes disappeared, presumably they would have died a long time ago, and there were more dirty things secretly in Baoyuelou, accepting all kinds of young prostitutes and perverted business.
Fan Xian's frown became deeper and deeper, and his heart became colder and colder. Regardless of past life or present life, this world is always filthy, but in the sky of the capital of Qing Kingdom, this kind of filth is easier to put on the table. The dignitaries rely on the power in their hands, and they are always exploiting and squeezing the common people in the world. Things like Baoyue Tower are actually not a special case in the official circles of Kyoto, let alone the first case. , but all the dignitaries have become accustomed to making money.
For the poor, the humble, the injustice... In the past, Fan Xian was more of a bystander, watching the ugliness in the world slowly happening, or subconsciously not thinking about these injustices and injustices. Darkness—because he is not the Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva who saves the suffering, he himself has obtained enough benefits and enjoyment from this powerful position. As a person with vested interests, as a member of the powerful team, he naturally chose to remain silent and accept .
Silence and acceptance does not mean that he can get used to it, even though he has been in this sauce tank full of sewage for long enough, he still cannot get used to it.
A mere Baoyue Building is not enough to make him change his philosophy. He may do some good things within his capacity, redeem Sangwen, suppress Baoyuelou, let the powerful and powerful work more softly, and adjust the contradictions between classes, but he will not try to make Thunder General response.
Because a thunderous reaction means denying everything Baoyue Tower represents, and it means challenging the whole world. And only Ye Qingmei seemed to have tried this kind of unnatural thing. And his mother, it seems, failed in the end.
But Baoyuelou seems to be more than just a brothel. Fan Xian had already smelled the uneasiness hidden inside, and some ominous judgments gradually emerged from the depths of his heart, as well as an evil fire born out of nowhere!
So he had to go to Baoyue Tower again in person to confirm whether his judgment was correct.
※※※
On a sunny and refreshing autumn afternoon, Deng Ziyue, the leader of the Qi Nian team, came to Baoyue Tower again.
As soon as they saw his lifeless face, all the thugs from Baoyuelou rushed up, ready to beat him to a pulp on the spot, but when they saw his lifeless clothes, all the thugs were dumbfounded. He took half a step back, as if he was afraid of the cold smell oozing from his clothes.
Deng Ziyue is wearing the official uniform of the Overwatch Council today, so his identity is different. Baoyuelou thought that there was the Overwatch Council behind it as a backer, so naturally it would not do something like flood the Dragon King Temple, and immediately replaced a person with status, and respectfully welcomed him into a room on the third floor. Quiet room.
There was a curtain in the room, so I couldn't see what was inside.
Outside the curtain is a round table made of Qingzhou stone, which looks extremely noble, Shi Qing'er smiled and welcomed Deng Ziyue to the table and sat down, and said charmingly: "It turns out that the lord is actually the lord in the courtyard, you were really reckless last night. Yes, if I knew it was an adult in the courtyard, then Sang Wen handed it over with both hands, how dare I accept your bank note?"
While speaking, she looked into the curtain intentionally or unintentionally, but she didn't take out the banknote at all.
Deng Ziyue knew that there must be someone behind the curtain, maybe it was the mysterious boss of Baoyuelou. He had been in the Overwatch Council for eight years, and he had never done any business that relied on power to deceive businessmen, but Fan Xian forced him to get back the ten thousand taels of silver note today, so he had to go through it again. After thinking for a while, she sneered and said, "Miss Shi is so polite, but when I left the building last night, I bumped into a few puppies. I came today, just to ask, is this dog raised by your building?"
Shi Qing'er's complexion remained unchanged, but she was a little worried in her heart. Last night, she just thought that the other party was from the Thirteenth Yamen, but she never thought that she had something to do with the Overwatch Council. Those little brothers from the Second Master's family ran rampant in the capital in the past. It was a mess of being beaten by the opponent! Today the other party unexpectedly came to the door again, his words were sharp and impolite, it seemed that it was really difficult to be kind, but it was a pity that the time was too tight, and the bottom line of the other party was not found out.
For some reason, Baoyuelou herself never thought that Mr. Chen belonged to Fan Tisi, but she still didn't pay much attention to that mysterious Mr. Chen, let alone the ten thousand taels. The banknote was spat out again, because the person sitting behind the curtain gave her enough confidence.
Shi Qing'er turned cold, and said with a sneer: "This lord's words are really funny. When did the Overwatch Council start to control the business of brothels? Shouldn't this be a matter of the capital? If your lord is bitten by a dog, be careful." If you are sick, why don’t you hurry home to rest, and then come to take care of our business in the building?” She said with a charming smile, “My lord is so smart.”
Deng Ziyue said sternly: "Stop talking nonsense here! If you don't give me an account of what happened yesterday, Lord Xin will tear down your dilapidated building!" Work, let his words naturally have a cold meaning, full of oppression.
Someone inside the curtain coughed twice.
Shi Qing'er lowered her face, slapped her palm on the stone table in Qingzhou, and cursed fiercely: "I don't know where Po San'er came from! How dare you come to our Baoyue Tower to extract money! The Qing written in the deed It's clear, you bought Sang Wen by force, aren't you satisfied? If you don't want to leave again, be careful that this girl will strip you naked and drive you out, so that everyone in the capital can see your ugliness."
Deng Ziyue stared fiercely into her eyes, but his ears listened to the movement inside the curtain, and said in a cold voice: "It seems that your building is really preparing to become an enemy of our Overwatch Council."
A mere brothel has no qualifications to be an enemy of the huge and terrifying Overwatch Council, but Shi Qing'er was surprisingly unfazed, narrowing her eyes and sneering: "Hugh uses the Overwatch Council to scare people, and the Six Departments and Three Divisions will follow suit. Baoyuelou doesn't accept this trick!"
Deng Ziyue laughed loudly and said: "Yes." Standing up, he glanced coldly at the curtain, and flicked his sleeves, he was ready to leave.
…
…
"Stop!"
It had been quiet for a long time, only two coughs came from inside the curtain, finally someone spoke, the voice was immature, but it contained a taste of disdain and authority. The green curtain was slowly opened, and the owner of Baoyuelou, who had never seen outsiders before, finally appeared in front of the world.
Deng Ziyue looked back in astonishment, his pupils shrank sharply. He really didn't think of the other party's identity! I didn't expect that the other party would actually meet me!
He looked at the young man in light yellow clothes inside the curtain, and felt extremely absurd in his heart! Baoyue Tower - the largest, reddest and darkest brothel in Kyoto, it opens its doors every day to welcome customers, and it is a brothel with lewd voices every night. Its boss is actually... a little boy under ten years old!
Deng Zi stared dumbfounded at the little boy in yellow clothes, and suddenly frowned. Although this little boy's identity is extraordinary, he was shocked to suddenly become the boss of Baoyuelou.
After being silent for a long while, he finally half-bent his knees, saluted in a deep voice, "Deng Ziyue, who is directly under the Overwatch Council, has met His Highness the Third Highness!"
Third Highness
…
…
His Majesty's youngest son is actually the owner of Baoyue Tower!
Seeing the official of the Overwatch Council, who had always put on a cruel expression, give in and knelt down in front of the second owner's house, Shi Qing'er's lips curled up, and he let out two sneering sneers. So what if the Overwatch Council is powerful? It's not just a dog of His Majesty the Emperor, this building looks ordinary, but behind it is His Majesty's youngest son!
"This...Master Deng, do you have anything else to say?" Shi Qing'er smiled contemptuously.
To Shi Qing'er's surprise, after Deng Ziyue knelt down, before the under-ten-year-old Tianhuang nobleman could speak, he stood up naturally, and said with a serious face: "I am ordered by your lord to come to question you." , the girl hasn't answered yet, after I go back, I will naturally report everything back, as for what will happen in the future, the adults in the courtyard will naturally be responsible."
The third prince is the youngest son of the Qing Emperor, and his biological mother is Yigui, who is extremely favored in the palace. The family with children actually opened a brothel! Although this fact is absurd, it is right in front of your eyes, Deng Ziyue's temples twitched twice, suppressing the emotions in his heart, and said politely: "I will take my leave."
The third prince still had an immature look on his face, seeing that the little official wanted to leave just like that, a surge of anger rushed into his brain, and he threw the tea bowl over. Although Fan Xian saw at the city gate that the third prince was young and had plans in his chest, but he was still a child after all, and he was not respected as he expected, so he was naturally furious.
The third prince stepped forward, pointed at Deng Ziyue's nose and cursed: "Why do you want to leave? Why didn't you check? Didn't you want me to pay you back ten thousand taels of silver!"
Deng Ziyue smiled wryly. No matter how powerful the Overwatch Council is, it is impossible to compete with a prince for money. However, according to His Majesty's usual style of conduct, the Overwatch Council does not sell the prince's account very much. As a close friend of the commissioner, he never dared to lose his status in front of the prince, so he kept his politeness and said: "As for the bank note, my adults will naturally come to discuss it. It's just the third highness. It’s rare to get involved.”
Shi Qing'er was stunned listening to this, thinking that the Overwatch Council was indeed as domineering as the legends said, that it didn't even sell the prince's face!
…
…
The third prince was only eight or nine years old, but he was born in an emperor's family. The little boy was born with a lot of power, and his mind was not simple. He said with a sneer, "When did the Overwatch Council become a beggar, asking for money everywhere? How dare you not sell it?" My account... Cousin, do you know who this person is?"
While speaking, the half-drawn curtains were all pulled back, and a group of thugs were ambushing inside. Seeing the faces of these thugs, Deng Ziyue's expression turned serious, and he felt that the opponent's strength was far beyond the comparison of ordinary gangsters.
And there were two teenagers standing in front of these thugs. One boy had a ferocious expression on his face, his right hand was bandaged, and blood was oozing out. It was the boy who was shot through the palm of his hand by a crossbow arrow from Fan Xian last night. that person.
Deng Ziyue's eyelids twitched twice, knowing that today was extremely difficult, but when he looked at the boy next to the boy who was shot through his palm, his expression was even more ugly, even younger than when he found out that the owner of Baoyuelou was young. The third prince... was even more astonished!
He frowned and looked at the eye-catching pockmark on the left cheek of the chubby boy, and asked after a while of silence: "Master, are you also the owner of Baoyue Tower?"
This chubby boy was none other than Fan Xian's younger brother, Fan Sizhe!
It never occurred to Deng Ziyue that the Baoyue Building that Mr. Tisi wanted to investigate was actually opened by his own brother!
…
…
Compared with the arrogant Third Highness, and the thugs in the room who were eager to try and teach Deng Ziyue a lesson on the spot, Fan Sizhe's complexion looked particularly ugly, extremely pale, except for the occasional ruthlessness that appeared in his eyes , but more is the fear from the bottom of my heart.
He looked at the third prince angrily and said, "You idiot! Do you know who he is?"
The third prince was startled, thinking that even if you are my cousin, why did you scold me? Furiously, he cursed back: "How dare you scold me!"
Fan Sizhe gritted his teeth tightly and took a deep breath. He knew what happened last night, so he brought people here today to see that these grandsons of officials who dared to cut their own fortunes were the little characters in the thirteen yamen, but he didn't expect...the ones who came were from the Overwatch Council people!
He closed his eyes, took two deep breaths, looked at the third prince and shook his head in distress, "What a good thing you did!" His heart skipped a beat, knowing that someone must be hiding it from him on purpose.
The third prince and Fan Sizhe are cousins. Since the beginning of the year, after listening to people's persuasion, they opened the Baoyue Building together. Normally, what are people from the Overwatch Council afraid of? I am a prince, and your own brother is the most powerful commissioner of the Overwatch Council!
There was a look of bewilderment on his immature face.
Fan Sizhe sighed in his heart, but then looked at Deng Ziyue full of hope, and asked, "... that Mr. Chen from last night, isn't he...?"
Deng Ziyue looked at the young man calmly, but for some reason deep in his heart felt a little sad for Master Fan Tisi, and nodded.
Fan Sizhe's face was blank, as if he was stunned, but he was thinking very quickly in his heart, whether he should kill Deng Ziyue in front of him, and then quickly get out of Baoyue Tower, or let his brother know, and he What will happen
