That day, Ye Chang had lunch in the mansion, and together with Su Fengnuan, they took the dossier entrusted to Su Che by Shen Rang and the deeds of more than ten families in that alley, and then went to that dead-end alley.
This time, Ye Chang mobilized the men and horses of the Ministry of Punishment to conduct a thorough investigation of that dead-end alley.
Half a day later, another secret passage was discovered in a deserted courtyard two courtyards away from the haunted mansion.
Su Fengnuan and Ye Chang immediately entered the secret passage.
Su Fengnuan recovered his martial arts, and together with Ye Chang, the two entered the secret passage, faced the traps of the trap, and dealt with them with ease, and soon found the exit of the secret passage.
The exit of this secret passage turned out to be a brothel in central Beijing.
The name of this brothel is Hongxiuzhao, the residence of the singer Lianren, and there are many prostitutes and courtiers in it.
Hongxiu Zhao is different from the regulations in Hongfenlou. Girls in Hongfenlou can freely choose to perform or sell themselves, while Hongxiuzhuo is engaged in the real brothel business.
The Red Sleeve Trick has established itself in the capital for a long time, and has a long-standing reputation in the capital.
Opening such a brothel in the capital, facing the princes and grandchildren, the three religions and the nine streams, and countless people, naturally must have a strong backer. Red sleeve move is no exception.
The backing of Hongxiu Zhao is the former East Palace.
Everyone in the aristocratic mansion in Beijing knows that Hongxiu Zhao is backed by the East Palace, and like the Qinghua Square in Lingyun Temple, it is run by the Prince of the East Palace. Following the accident of the crown prince in the East Palace, Concubine Yuegui was punished according to the crime, the crown prince was abolished and sent to become a monk in Lingyun Temple, Qinghuafang was finished, the door was closed and a seal was put on, and Hongxiu Zhao could not continue to operate, so it closed down.
The old bustards, singers, pity, and Qingshou recruited by the red sleeves all dispersed. Some returned to their hometowns with their savings, and some stayed in the capital and changed to other brothels to continue to make a living. In short, they walked. Scattered and scattered, today's red sleeve move is a deserted place, and no one has taken over it so far.
Ye Chang and Su Fengnuan stood in Hongxiuzhao's backyard, looked at each other, and were speechless.
Unexpectedly, after checking and checking, it returned to the crown prince of the East Palace, but the crown prince has been abolished now. After taking Yan Wangdu, the memory was emptied and blank. It's like getting into a dead end again.
The two of them walked around the courtyards upstairs and downstairs in Hongxiu Zhao, but found nothing special, and the rooms in each courtyard were covered with a layer of dust.
Su Fengnuan looked at Ye Chang, "Is there a secret way to turn around?"
Ye Chang reached out to stop Su Fengnuan's waist, took her up to the roof, and looked around, this is the main street of Ronghua Street, next to Hongxiu Zhao are some of the most famous brothels in the capital, including Hongfenlou.
Ye Chang scanned around, and said warmly to Su Feng, "Do you think, this place is so close to your Hongfen Building, if someone digs a secret tunnel secretly, can your people not know?"
Su Fengnuan shook his head, "At that time, you and I were still young. When the Su Mansion first left Beijing, I hadn't sent anyone to the capital to open such a Hongfenlou. The Hongfenlou has only been in the capital for seven or eight years."
Ye Chang said, "In that case, let's check this street."
Su Fengnuan nodded, "Not only to find out if there is a secret passage in this street, but also to find out where the people who have been recruited by the red sleeves have gone, and find out the details one by one."
Ye Chang nodded.
The two made a red sleeve move.
People from the Ministry of Criminal Justice rushed to Hongxiu Zhao when they heard the news, and they were very surprised when they saw the exit of the secret road. They quickly seized the official search documents and searched the whole street.
Of course including the Red House.
Su Fengnuan took advantage of the opportunity and went into the Red Pink Building to sit down.
Seeing Su Fengnuan coming, the old bustard of the Hongfen Building quickly invited him into the private room, and asked Su Fengnuan in a low voice, "Girl, what's the matter? Why are you even searching our Hongfen Building?"
Su Fengnuan truthfully told about the exit of Hongxiu Zhao's secret way, and the old bustard was amazed, and said, "For so many years, my family really hasn't even found out that Hongxiu Zhao has such a problem."
Su Fengnuan said, "My order to you is to take good care of Ye Chang. The backer Hongxiu recruited is the East Palace. Naturally, you won't provoke it if you have nothing to do."
The old bustard nodded, "Indeed, the facade that can gain a foothold in the capital is either backed by princes and nobles, or by the most powerful sects in the world. It is not easy to provoke."
Su Fengnuan nodded.
The old bustard pondered for a moment, and said, "However, since my family has established a foothold in Beijing and is engaged in this industry, after entering Beijing, it is natural to have a clear understanding of the rules here in order to deal with it freely. After so many years, what happened in each brothel? , can't hide it from me."
Su Fengnuan said, "Tell me, I came here just to hear what happened here."
The old bustard said, "For so many years, the emperor and the mansion of the mansion have been at odds, the emperor supports the crown prince and concubine Yue, and the people from the mansion of the manor are facing the queen mother and queen, so the ministers of the court and the people of the noble mansions are also divided into two groups. One faction is the royalist party, the other is the foreign relative party, and there are a small number of people who remain neutral. In this way, the lecherous and romantic people come to the brothel to have fun, and naturally they choose different things."
Su Fengnuan nodded, "This is also interesting, from the court to the harem, and then to the brothel."
The old bustard said, "So, in order to win the appreciation of the Eastern Palace, those lechers from the Royalist Party took care of the business of the Red Sleeve Show. And the Foreign Relatives sent in to take care of the business of the Flower and Candle Show in order to win the appreciation of the King. Because the behind-the-scenes of the Flower and Candle Show The owner is the younger brother of the husband of the country. And those neutral factions, except for these two, the other brothels are not taboo."
Su Fengnuan said, "The owner behind the Huazhuxiu is the younger brother of Mr. Guo?"
The old bustard said, "Exactly."
Su Fengnuan thought about it, "Huanzhuxiu and Hongxiu Zhao are next to each other, right?"
The old bustard nodded, "Next."
Su Fengnuan said, "For so many years, the people in the various mansions in Beijing, who used to patronize which one, you should know, and give me a list."
The old bustard said, "Wait a minute, girl, I will draw up a copy for you, and keep it in my heart."
Su Fengnuan nodded.
The old bustard went to get the pen, ink, paper and inkstone, listed the major brothels in Beijing, and then, under the corresponding brothels, listed the various characters. Of course, including those who came to Hongfenlou.
Not long after, she made a long list and handed it to Su Fengnuan.
Su Fengnuan took the list, glanced at it, and said with a smile, "Ye Chang has taken care of Hongfenlou a lot."
The old bustard laughed, "Isn't Ye Shizi able to set foot on the threshold of Hongfen Building because of you, Miss? Since you came back to Beijing, how many times has he been here? If there is no case investigation, he may not be involved."
Su Fengnuan nodded with a smile, and said, "I didn't expect Sun Zeyu, a son of the Xiangfu, to visit brothels."
The old bustard said, "Mr. Sun was pulled here by Mr. Chen, but he left after sitting for a while. It's just that he is the son of the Xiangfu, and he is also a character, so I wrote it down. Only that one time."
Su Fengnuan nodded, and said, "Liu Wen, the eldest son of Prince Jin's mansion, is really very flirtatious? He has taken care of various brothels a lot."
The old bustard said, "Isn't it? When he met a pleasing prostitute who pitied others, he redeemed him. At the beginning, he wanted to redeem Sesel's body, but with Shizi Ye, he knew that Sesel was the son of the prince, so he gave up. He is the same as He Zhi of the Shangshu Mansion of the Ministry of Industry, regardless of faction, he will go to any house, girls like these two young men who are generous."
Su Fengnuan looked at the list, pointed out, and said, "Besides the two of them, there is one exception here. Who is this person?"
The old bustard looked down, and said, "This person is Shen Qi, the third son of Jingyanghou Mansion. He didn't want others to spread his reputation as a romantic, so he had an alias, Jiang Mu, and he took the partial pronunciation of his name."
Su Fengnuan frowned, "Does Ye Chang know?"
The old bustard said, "I know."
Su Fengnuan said, "In this way, is Shen Qi really romantic? I've met him a few times, and he doesn't look like a romantic person."
The old bustard said in a low voice, "Master Shen has a hidden illness, and he wants to find a woman to treat it, so he has to do it..."
Su Fengnuan raised her eyebrows, "What hidden disease?"
The old bustard said, "It seems that he didn't lift it."
Su Fengnuan was surprised, "He is young, why is he so?"
The old bustard shook his head, "I don't know, I just know that there is such a thing. It is said that when he was thirteen years old, the Eldest Princess arranged a room for him to teach personnel, and only then did he know that he had this hidden disease."
Su Fengnuan asked, "Did you get cured later?"
The old procuress said, "It took a year of treatment. It is said that it was cured later, but since then, the body has been inseparable from women. Every now and then, I have to patronize the brothel. But when I came to Hongfenlou, I just listened to Ye Shizi and others. Listen to the music, and don't do Hongluo soft tent business." After finishing speaking, she sighed and said, "It's a pity that Third Young Master Shen is in trouble with Jingyanghou Mansion now."
Su Fengnuan said, "I haven't heard Ye Chang mention this matter, so go back and ask him."
The old bustard said, "Mr. Shen is on good terms with the prince, so maybe he knows something inside."
Su Fengnuan nodded, stood up with the list, and said to the old bustard, "The elders of Bixuan Pavilion should arrive tonight. If you want to see them, come to Rong'an Palace at night."
The old bustard asked, "Girl, are the elders not allowed to live in this red pink building?"
Su Fengnuan shook his head, "It's no secret that those seniors live in Rong'an Palace. After the elders come, they should also go to Rong'an Palace. They will leave early tomorrow morning."
The old bustard said, "Then I'll meet the elders at night."
Su Fengnuan nodded and left the Red Pink House.
