C363 The House of Ten Thousand Flowers
Changxu investigated the surroundings of the Imperial Capital and found that there were people buying and selling girls. The seller was the girl's parents, and the buyer was an average-looking man dressed in ordinary clothes.
Along the way, the man was only a small merchant in the Imperial Capital. He had some spare money and said that his wife did not know how to give birth, so he bought a girl to carry on the family line.
After Changxu investigated thoroughly, he did not pay too much attention to it and focused his attention elsewhere.
The hidden guards said that in the western part of the imperial capital, they discovered a group of people buying people. They were all secretly trading, so Changxu ordered them to follow.
They came to a quiet brothel in the Imperial Capital - the Ten Thousand Flower Building.
The first thing they did was to report it to Yu Longchen and Mu Ruqing.
"Are you sure?" Yu Longchen asked. He always had some doubts in his heart.
"Yes." Changxu nodded and used his strength to pinch the parts, "Wherever we go, they will buy seven or eight people at a time."
"Do you want to do it?" Mu Ruqing sat on the chair at the back.
"It's time to move." Yu Longchen frowned.
The first sunset glow lit up on the horizon.
Yu Longchen added a cloak to Mu Ruqing's body.
"The sunset glow of autumn indeed has a different flavor." Mu Ruqing looked at the horizon and quietly held Yu Longchen's hand. "But I keep feeling that something is wrong."
Yu Longchen was deep in thought.
Changxu led the hidden guards into the Ten Thousand Flower House in casual clothes.
The interior was not very well decorated. Although it was called a brothel, it did not feel the same when one just entered. It looked like an ordinary restaurant.
The entire building was cold and quiet. There should be the most number of girls in the brothels, but they could not see anyone inside.
Changxu and the others went in. Everyone had arrived, and no one came out to welcome them.
Changxu had no choice but to let go of his voice. "Where are they?! They don't even want to do business?"
Only then did someone rush over. The brothel keeper was wearing pink peach-colored clothes and looked like she was in her forties or fifties. Her face was full of wrinkles and her makeup was exaggerated. Her white face, coupled with her big red lips, looked like a ghost.
Changxu and the hidden guards were a little disgusted, but they did not dare to show it. They had a mission on hand.
"Masters, please take a seat in the private room upstairs!" The brothel keeper pulled Changxu, who was leading the way, and Changxu pushed her away without leaving a trace.
The procuress didn't mind and strode to the front. "This is the busiest place in the Imperial Capital. No one has come here yet, so we neglected our guests just now."
"That person in charge of the house, Yan, wants to come to a quiet place. He can't even find his wife, right?" Changxu winked at the procuress.
"Do you know him?" The brothel keeper suddenly stopped and looked down at the four or five people on the stairs.
"This is my friend." Changxu held the person beside him and the person behind said, "We are similar to this brother in front. Do you have any silver taels at home, so..."
“ Oh. " The procuress suddenly laughed. She turned around and walked away with her butt twisted. "He's a man. It's not a big deal for him to play with the Gu family outside. It's his first time seeing a few guests, isn't it?"
" Yes. "
The procuress nodded. "Yes."
Everyone said.
"I've seen a lot of people like you." When they arrived at the private room upstairs, the brothel keeper opened the door and led Changxu and his friends in. “ Since you don't know each other, it's not good for me to arrange for you all to be together. Please wait a moment. The lady will be here soon. "
"Okay." Changxu nodded. He said, "Go and entertain them first."
The procuress nodded, closed the door, and led the remaining people to another room. "A few girls just came yesterday. The guest came at the right time."
"Is that so?" One of the dark guards pretended to be excited and had a look of anticipation on his face. "Quick, bring them here to take a look."
"He's coming. Don't be anxious." The procuress closed the door.
After a while, she brought someone with her.
Changxu and the hidden guard were casually checking the private room, but they did not find anything amiss.
The procuress came in. "Customer, the lady is here."
The moment the lady came in, she was about to welcome her. "Customer, you are here."
Changxu and the hidden guards opened their eyes wide and waved their hands. Only then did the ladies stop in their tracks. No wonder no one was here.
They looked to be in their twenties or thirties. They were fat, thin, and had exaggerated makeup. Their faces were white, and below their necks were all yellow. They had to wear revealing clothes.
The guards used their hands to kidnap Changxu. Changxu swallowed his saliva in fear. "Are there no other girls?"
"Yes, yes, yes." The brothel keeper's smile did not fade. "Bring them up."
The people who came at first spread out to the sides, and the two little girls were pushed in.
Changxu did not take a closer look. "Let them be. Take the rest away!"
"Yes." The procuress answered and left with the dissatisfied 'ladies'.
It was the same on the other side.
The girls who stayed behind were trembling. Changxu and the hidden guards had yet to enter them.
The two girls knelt on the ground. "Young Master, let us go. We were sold here."
The two girls were also wearing revealing clothes. They were casually smeared with rouge and looked very beautiful. They were much better than those people just now.
Changxu and the hidden guards sat and drank tea. They said indifferently, "They bought you back. What did they ask you to do?"
"They asked us... to receive the guests." One of them was a little bold. "It's just that there aren't many people here."
"There's nothing else?" Changxu frowned. Impossible. They had spent so much effort to forcefully sell so many people. "Besides you, who else was sold here?"
The two of them looked at each other. They were not as scared as before. Their voices were still a little shaky. "It was just us. The brothel keeper is still counting on us to make money for her. We were bought in the morning. The brothel keeper said she has no money, all her hopes are on us"
" What's with the bruises on her body? " The dark guard looked at the girl's back.
"They were the ones who hit her. They said that if we don't listen to them, they'll hit us until we hear them. " The two girls cried as they spoke. They crawled a few steps and said, "Young Master, you are good people. Please save us! Young Master!"
"Let's give it a try?" Changxu and the guard looked at each other.
The two girls were very grateful and kowtowed to them. "Thank you, young master, thank you, young master!"
Changxu opened the door and waved at the brothel keeper, but he mentioned the matter of buying the two girls.
The brothel keeper's face darkened.
Changxu thought that she was not satisfied with the price and said, "We can discuss the price again!"
"Get lost! What do you think this place is?" The procuress put her hands on her waist and scolded. Spittle flew out of her mouth. "I only count on the few of them to not sell! They are my people. If you want to play, then play. If you don't want to play, then get out! Open the door and do business. No one will sell their capital! "
Changxu and the hidden guards did not expect the procuress to have such a big reaction. They were immediately unhappy." If you don't agree to have a good talk, then just do it. Why do you have to do this? "
"I will open the door and do business. Just look at the expressions of you people and forget about it. Now, you still want to buy my trump card? Get lost! I'm not going to do business with you two! " As the brothel keeper spoke, she moved her hand and was about to push Changxu away.
How could Changxu tolerate it? Without much effort, he kicked the brothel keeper down. "Don't touch me!"
"Let's go." The secret guards at the side pulled Changxu.
Changxu looked at the two people begging in the room. He could only turn his face away and leave.
The guard in the other room heard the noise but did not come out. He stayed for a while longer and gave silver before leaving.
