Chapter 124 The Cold-blooded Supervisor of the East Factory vs. the Vicious Aunt in the Deep Palace
She had a vague feeling that something was wrong, but this plot was obviously beyond her understanding, so she could only ask more questions.
"What's the prefect's name?"
"open……"
"Yingsi, the distinguished guest will be here soon, change your clothes quickly and come out."
The madam's voice interrupted the conversation. A Ling did not dare to delay and quickly changed into the clothes that were sent to her.
"Remember, young lady, just serve the adults well. Don't ask too many questions, and don't take it too seriously. Since this is your first time serving them, you should use this to control them, make them remember you, and become regular customers in the future."
Yingsi looked at the little girl in the mirror in surprise. She was younger than her, but she knew the rules of the brothel so well.
Looking closely, it turned out that the spots on her face were all painted on.
Hiss...this little brothel has something interesting.
A Ling re-combed her hair, changed her clothes neatly, and finally stuffed a white ball the size of a pinhole into her pocket.
"This is?"
"Mom gives you a chance to appear before the noble. If you fail once, she won't give you another chance next time. So if the noble doesn't like you, you have to make him like you."
Yingsi looked down, frowning, "Aphrodisiac?"
Ah Ling smiled softly and covered her lips: "Girl still understands, but this thing is more powerful than aphrodisiac, it is colorless and tasteless, just put it in his wine and coax him to drink it, half an hour later..."
She smiled shyly, "At least tonight, the girl can't get out of bed..."
Yingsi took a deep breath and said, "This... isn't appropriate."
A Ling whispered in her ear: "There's nothing wrong with that. This is Lady Jin's secret of making men happy and forgetting about other things. I told you because I think you have a bright future. Please don't sell me out."
Whether she sells it or not, she definitely won’t be using it anymore.
After putting the pill into the silk handkerchief, A Ling hung gauze on her temples, leaving only a pair of passionate eyes exposed.
Soon, the madam pushed the door open with a smile on her face. When she saw Yingsi's graceful figure, she was immediately satisfied.
He stepped forward, grabbed her hand, and coaxed her, "Remember, this gentleman rarely comes to our place of entertainment. An inexperienced rookie like you is the most vulnerable. Serve this gentleman well, and you will be blessed in the future."
Yingsi nodded slightly and asked casually, "Which adult is it?"
The madam patted her hand mysteriously and said, "You will know when you go there. This gentleman is a handsome man. He is obviously a rare talent. You will enjoy your life."
Even if he was the emperor, what kind of happiness could a prostitute who served him enjoy? She didn't understand and didn't dare to ask.
The madam pulled her past various doors, and suddenly she saw a familiar figure in a half-open door. Yingsi couldn't help but stop.
The madam followed her gaze and saw a man and a woman sitting at a table in the room.
The man had a faint smile on his face, and the woman's eyes were full of affection. She climbed up to him delicately, covering his lower body with a veil, and whispered something in his ear. The man then spread out his folding fan, covering his face with it, and laughed.
The madam let out a “whoosh” and stared at that place with a pout:
"This kid is really capable. He really asked Lady Jin to come in. It looks like he won't be able to leave this door tonight."
Yingsi tilted her head and moved closer, as if she wanted to see more clearly.
But in the eyes of the madam, this action is a manifestation of infatuation.
Gu Huaian's reputation is well known, and many of the beauties on the roster are willing to be taken in by him.
It seems that this person is no exception. He was sent to a brothel by his lover, but he still cares so much about him. Poor guy.
Thinking of this, the madam pulled her body sympathetically.
He consoled her, "Don't be sad. That boy has a heart worse than grass. It will be much happier to serve you well than to follow him."
Yingsi was confused. She was not sure what was wrong with her.
She obviously just wanted to see how a eunuch operates without a penis, so that she can use it as a reference when she returns to the real world and writes novels.
The madam pulled her a little too hard, disturbing the two people who were flirting affectionately inside.
Lady Jin frowned and winked, and the maid serving inside came over with a cold face and closed the door.
It doesn't give any face.
The madam was so angry that she said "Pah" and turned to talk to Yingsi, "See? You are so arrogant. You must not be like this when you are favored in the future."
Yingsi was still straining her neck to look back reluctantly, but when she heard what was said, she withdrew her body and shook her head with some sympathy.
I thought to myself: It’s not easy to be a brothel lady, she has to serve men without roots. I really want to know how to do it to the extreme. Curiosity really kills.
The madam looked at her melancholy look and pursed her lips helplessly.
Since ancient times, deep affection cannot be retained...
inside the house.
Seeing the door closed, Lady Jin's smile disappeared, she immediately withdrew her hand, and knelt down tremblingly.
"Sir, I really don't know which sirs took the black money. I just serve them and never ask any questions."
The smile on Wei Xuanzhi's face gradually faded and began to turn gloomy.
"I came to you just to ask a few more questions. If you cooperate with me in the investigation, I will pretend that I don't know about the things you did secretly. If you are really afraid of offending those rats who are about to be beheaded, I will have no choice but to... send you to go with them."
Lady Jin bit her lip and looked around, trying to find a way out for herself, but the man in front of her was too intimidating.
It is better to offend anyone than to offend him...
She raised her head in horror and wanted to say something, but when she met Wei Xuanzhi's cold eyes, she immediately lowered her head again.
"My Lord, I don't know what any of you have done, but I will record the money you spent for each one I serve."
He put away the folding fan in his hand, glanced at the shivering woman on the ground, and pointed at the table.
"Bring it here."
Mrs. Jin hesitated for a moment, but still sighed, stood up with the help of the table, and walked to her dressing table.
After a moment, she took out a booklet, bent down and presented it with both hands.
"It's all here."
Wei Xuanzhi glanced at it lightly and raised his hand to take it.
Outside, Yingsi slipped out again under the pretext of the madam going to welcome the distinguished guests.
After quietly running to the outside of Lady Jin's house, he quickly put his ears close to her.
Curiosity is something that is really uncomfortable if it is not satisfied.
Wei Xuanzhi was about to get up when he saw an obvious shadow of an ear on the door.
Jin Niangzi also saw it, and without waiting for Wei Xuanzhi to react, she shouted, "Who's outside?"
Yingsi was about to run, but the maid was standing by the door. She opened the door in a flash and Yingsi fell flat on her face.
When she looked up again, three pairs of eyes were staring at her.
The white gauze hanging behind her ears fell off, unable to hide the awkward smile on her face.
"I... seem to be lost."
Lady Jin walked slowly to Wei Xuanzhi's side with an ambiguous smile.
"Miss, you're out serving our distinguished guests. How come you still have time to get lost and come to my house?"
Yingsi was just about to get up when she heard the madam's voice from behind her.
"Don't be angry, sir. This girl was so shy when she heard that she had to serve you, sir, that she hid herself. She might be waiting for you to find her right now. She must be lying down..."
In a blink of an eye, I saw the gauze piled by the door, the girl on the ground was lying in a doggy style with her head tilted back and grinning foolishly, and the two people in the room had different expressions.
The man addressed as "Sir" glanced at the madam and asked the question even though he knew the answer.
"Just lying there?"
The madam took a deep breath and said with an awkward smile: "Look, I'm lying on the ground waiting for you."
Wei Xuanzhi met her guilty eyes, his gaze wandering, and suddenly he curled his lips and pulled Lady Jin into his arms, frivolously spreading out his folding fan and shaking it.
"Since the girl is lost, why don't you stay with us?"
The madam rolled her eyes and quickly laughed, "Sir, you are joking. I will take her out right away."
Upon hearing this, Yingsi quickly hung her veil again, then quickly stood up, brushed the dust off her skirt, and bowed slightly.
The madam glared at her quietly with some anger, then went over and took her arm.
"Come on, come on, come with me and serve Master Zhang well."
Yingsi raised her eyes slightly and looked at the distinguished guest whom the old procuress kept talking about.
When she saw this, she suddenly remembered.
This man's name is Zhang Leqing, he is 34 years old. He was transferred to Lianzhou as the prefect in the 18th year of Hengde. He is honest and incorruptible, a rare good official, and... he already has a wife.
Why did he end up in the brothel?
The original plot did not describe his story in detail, but only mentioned that he cooperated with the male protagonist Wei Xuanzhi to solve a corruption case.
Could this be the case that Wei Xuanzhi is investigating now?
She was looking at Zhang Leqing, but at this moment he was staring at Wei Xuanzhi with a vigilant look, his handsome face curved with interest, his eyes kept looking at him.
Yingsi turned her gaze and took the initiative to step forward to block his sight. She gently placed her two slender hands on his sleeves and called out in a tender voice:
"Master Zhang, I'm here. Where are you looking? If you keep doing this, I'll get angry~"
The madam raised her eyes and said in her heart that she had gotten the hang of it. Her learning ability was too fast.
So he also helped to persuade him: "My lord, you should go and drink with the beauty as soon as possible. Don't waste this beautiful night."
Zhang Leqing glanced at the madam, then turned to look at Yingsi, and finally his gaze fell on Lady Jin who was being hugged by Wei Xuanzhi.
"I think that girl looks more to my liking."
Before the madam could say anything, Yingsi had already thrown herself into his arms, closed her eyes lightly and squeezed out two tears, then gently lowered her head on his chest, wanting to say something but stopping herself.
"My Lord, you are so heartless. I am still here. How can you..."
As if impatient, Zhang Leqing brushed her away a little, glanced at Jin Niangzi again, and waved his hand: "Forget it, it's you."
Wei Xuanzhi smiled slightly, put away his folding fan thoughtfully, and bowed his head slightly to indicate: "The beauty looks good, brother, you must enjoy it."
Zhang Leqing curled his lips and also hugged Yingsi's waist like him, with ambiguous words.
"How could you be so lucky as to have such a beautiful lady accompany you?"
Wei Xuanzhi raised his eyebrow slightly: "I am not talented, I came earlier."
There was a hint of anger in Zhang Leqing's breath: "It's better to come at the right time than to come early. I think you came at the right time."
Yingsi couldn't hear the hidden meaning in their words, but it didn't look like the two of them had just met today.
She pushed Zhang Leqing out as if urging him to do so. "My Lord, please go and talk to me if you have something to say."
Zhang Leqing smiled slightly and lifted Yingsi's chin with his hand: "Okay, since you are so anxious, I will talk to you in detail."
After saying this, he glanced at Wei Xuanzhi, hooked his arm around Yingsi's waist and went towards her room.
The madam left with a satisfied look on her face, and she did not forget to instruct Yingsi: "Make sure you treat Mr. Zhang well."
Yingsi smiled slightly, then lowered her eyes to find that Zhang Leqing's hand on her waist was just lightly resting on it, and his fingertips did not do anything inappropriate.
Thinking of his character again, he suddenly asked tentatively: "Master Zhang is so young and promising, I wonder if he has a family?"
Zhang Leqing took his hand back and glanced at her sideways, "Does having a family affect my spending the night with you?"
Yingsi chuckled, "Of course it doesn't matter. Every man has three wives and four concubines, let alone a man like Lord Zhang who can become a prefect at such a young age."
"You are very sweet-talking. It doesn't seem like this is your first time serving a customer as the madam said."
"This is not just sweet talk. My Lord, you are handsome. As soon as I saw you, I couldn't help but say these words."
The door of the room was pushed open. Zhang Leqing slightly extended his hand to signal her to go in first, and then immediately locked the door.
Yingsi raised her eyebrows in surprise, brushed aside her skirt, half-lay on the chaise longue, and looked at him tenderly.
"Your Excellency seems to be in a hurry."
Zhang Leqing snorted coldly and suddenly clapped her hands. Two guards with knives immediately crawled out from under the bed and put the knives to her neck without saying a word.
Yingsi's expression changed slightly, but she still had a smile on her face: "What do you mean, sir?"
Zhang Leqing sat down at the table, poured himself a cup of tea, and looked calm.
"It's nothing. I just took office and I don't know much about Lianzhou, so I want to find someone to ask."
What the hell? Mission Impossible?
Yingsi sat up straight and laughed, "My lord, did you find the wrong person? I've already said that this is my first time serving someone, and I've just come to Zuichunchao, so maybe I know even less than you do."
Zhang Leqing's eyes turned cold and he put the teacup down heavily:
"You don't have to hide anything for the madam. To tell you the truth, I will bring people to close down this brothel today. Before closing it down, if someone is willing to give me some useful information in exchange for their crimes, I will consider letting her go."
Yingsi was a little speechless. Why did people here have to go to the brothel to investigate a case, and use the same method?
She had promised Wei Xuanzhi that she could act in a play, and now he wanted her to act too. But she was not a movie queen, so how could she be such a good actor!
"Sir, is it possible that I really know nothing? Or, if you go out now and find a girl, she will definitely know more than me." After all, I came here to get some information, and so far I haven't gotten any useful information.
Zhang Leqing's face turned serious. He walked up to her and said condescendingly, "I'll give you one last chance. If you still don't say anything, you will have no chance the moment I walk out of this door."
Yingsi rolled her eyes speechlessly, pulled off her veil, and said angrily, "I don't know what you want me to say?"
The guard next to her tightened the knife on her neck, and Yingsi could already feel the blood seeping from her neck.
Perhaps because she really had nothing to say, Zhang Leqing blinked and signaled the guard to put down the knife.
Then he bowed slightly, with a peaceful look on his face: "Sorry for the offense."
Yingsi touched the bloodstain on his neck, looking puzzled: "What does your Excellency mean by this?"
Zhang Leqing pursed his lips and said nothing, then walked to the table and sat down.
"I want to ask a favor, girl."
