Chapter 1: Helping to Catch an Adulterer (Part 2)
The night of Jianye City is also bright and bustling, with cars and horses galloping. Although it can't compare to the prosperity of the large cities in Su Jing's previous life, in this world, Jianye City is still one of the top ten metropolises!
On the street, you can see many foreigners, each with red hair and green eyes, wearing extremely strange clothes. Their faces are not as delicate as those of Eastern people. Because they were going to a special place, Su Jing and his servant Chen Zhan also specially dressed up in bright and beautiful attire. In this way, when entering the brothel, those women would stick to you like glue.
"Little brother, wait a minute. I see that you have an extraordinary bone structure, a rare martial arts talent that appears only once in a hundred years. If you cultivate and learn superior martial skills well, your future will be boundless. I have a copy of the 'Tathagata Divine Palm' here. Since we're so fatefully connected, I'll sell it to you at a low price?" A sly old beggar blocked Su Jing's path, his expression serious.
People like this, Su Jing didn't even bother to step on him and walked away. Chen Zhan hesitated for a moment, but eventually, being penniless, he said reluctantly: "Old man, wait for me to finish my business at the Wanhualou, I'll come back to buy from you later, when I have money!"
The old beggar almost rolled his eyes, what kind of serious business can be done there? Who would believe that! It seems these two people are even better at fooling others than him.
However, this Wan Hua Lou is the largest human flesh trading house in the entire Jianye City. The customers inside are mostly from wealthy and noble families or newly rich people. As soon as the two doorkeepers saw Su Jing and his companion arrive, they hastily welcomed them and instructed two girls to serve them.
"My goodness, I've never seen a girl like this before! Boss, I'm losing control, what should I do?" Chen Zhan licked his dry lips, with golden lights flashing in his eyes.
Su Jing didn't have much thought on the women around her, to be honest, these women were no match for her previous girlfriends.
Su Jing pushed away the woman who was about to touch his treasure, pulled Chen Zhan over and whispered: "If you have the ability to play with the girls here without paying a single penny, then go ahead, I won't help you pay a single penny!"
Chen Zhan listened and suddenly felt dizzy. He pushed away the woman with flowers in her arms, gazing enviously at the scenery around him.
"We must find out where Wang Fuyin is, this is the purpose of our coming here, you give me a clever point." Su Jing's eyes were also constantly scanning around. The two women next to them saw some clues and exchanged eye colors with each other, shouting loudly: "Du Lao Da, there are two troublemakers here!"
Su Jing and Chen Zhan were startled, the tone of these two women was indeed high, but what's with smashing the scene? Who is here to smash the scene?
The entire Wan Hua Lou fell silent at the same time, and everyone's eyes were cast towards Su Jing and his group. Then a group of powdered women surrounded them in the middle.
"Cui Hong, Cui Lu, you two step down first, I'll deal with these two!" A beautiful young woman walked out of the group of ladies-in-waiting, her lips red and teeth white, her voice like music from heaven. The thin silk couldn't hide her proud figure as a maiden. Su Jing was stunned for a moment.
"What a handsome man!" The woman thought to herself, but on the surface she smiled politely and said: "I don't know why you've come to my place, sir, is it not for pleasure?"
Chen Zhan's expression turned serious, "We're here to eat! Not allowed!"
He pulled at Su Jing's sleeve, and only then did Su Jing react, awkwardly smiling: "Yes, yes, we came here to drink and eat, not to seek pleasure. So we're not interested in the women of your establishment either, is that not acceptable? Does your establishment only serve lechers?"
But Su Jing's words were refuted by all the men in the room.
"No, I'm just worried that someone will come and cause trouble! Since you're here only to eat, please keep your eyes honest and don't keep looking around! The scenery around here is quite unpleasant, I'm afraid it will sully the eyes of a noble person like yourself!"
What a eloquent woman! Su Jing secretly sighed in his heart. Watching her leave, Su Jing temporarily restrained himself and the servant from their behavior, only searching within a small range. At this time, a fat man caught Su Jing's attention, wasn't that man Governor Zhou Wen? The master who could invite Governor Zhou must be Wang, the prefect! It turned out that these two high-ranking officials liked to play double P!
"Chen Zhan, stop eating, the target has appeared, let's go upstairs!" Su Jing pulled over his servant who was eating beside him and rushed towards the upper floor.
Chen Zhan still reluctantly hugged a jug of wine, stumbling and staggering as he followed the master up the stairs. The room that Lord Zhou Wenshi had just entered was unusually quiet, as if there was no one inside.
"Is this true?! Is that person really Du Chui Die?!"
"That's right! I'll never forget her appearance! I didn't expect that in just five years, she has become the flower queen of the Wan Hua Lou!"
"You mean we need..."
Just as the storyteller was about to continue, a maid's voice suddenly came from outside: "Hey, you two guests, you can't sneak a peek at other guests! Please leave here!"
Chief Shi Wen and Wang Ling Song exchanged a glance, then ordered: "Don't drive them away, let them in. Two friends, please come in quickly, we've been waiting for you for a long time!"
Chen Zhan immediately raised his head, proudly saying: "Did you hear that? We are friends of the big boss inside! If you dare to treat us like just now again, be careful I'll get your boss to fire you!"
The maid hurriedly bowed her head in apology and then quickly walked away.
Su Jing found it somewhat strange that he had only met the two adults once and could be said to have no relationship with them, so how could he say that he was their friend?
Although he had doubts in his mind, out of politeness he pushed open the door and walked in with his servant.
"Is that you?!" Wang Lingsong recognized Su Jing at a glance, mainly because he had set up an unorthodox detective agency, which was personally approved by the Prefect himself!
"Lord Wang, it's been a long time, I didn't think you'd still remember me." Su Jing replied politely.
That official history asked with some concern: "Just now, the conversation between me and Wang's, did you hear it?"
Su Jing hadn't spoken yet, but Chen Zhan jumped in and said: "Of course! Our ears aren't deaf, we know all about the two of you being in cahoots!"
"Wang's face suddenly turned cold, 'You...you know everything?! How is that possible?! Did Du Chuyan tell you?!'"
Looking at the two adults' horrified expressions, Su Jing really had an urge to laugh. He calmly said: "Cough... it's not her!"
"Who else could it be? Who else would know?" Historian Zhou Wenbao was worried.
Magistrate Su said, "This is a private matter of the prefect's family, Governor. What business is it of yours? To be honest with you, Governor Wang, I'm here on behalf of your wife to catch you! She already knows that you come here every day to secretly meet your mistress! So, in front of me, there's no need for you two to pretend anymore!"
"Will I have a little lover?!" Historian Zhou Wen seemed somewhat unexpected, looking at the equally reacting Lord Fu Yi.
Su Jing asked somewhat doubtfully: "Isn't it that matter? Do you two gentlemen have any other secrets?"
"No! What secrets are there! You've already known everything, you've already known!" Wang Fu Yi hastily mediated. At the same time, she gave a wink to Cishi Zhou Wen.
Su Jing had a look of "you can't do anything about it" on his face, took out a fan and fanned himself with satisfaction. One hundred taels of silver were now in his pocket! How could he not be delighted?
"Is it my wife who sent you? What price did she offer? I'll pay double, just tell her that I didn't go to the Wan Hua Lou tonight, but instead went to discuss official business with Governor Zhou. How about it?" Wang Ling Song took out a stack of silver bills.
Chen Zhan nodded desperately, wanting to take over the silver ticket, but Su Jing stopped him.
"I apologize, Lord Wang, but we can't do that. I'm working for my client to crack the case, and I won't compromise the reputation of our detective agency for a quick profit! It's a matter of principle. You and your mistress, I will definitely bring you back to face Lady Wang, as for how to handle your family affairs, our agency won't interfere!"
"You scoundrel! Are you daring to defy the words of Master Prefect? Don't you fear Master Prefect's punishment?" Zhou Wen said with some indignation.
Chen Zhan had long been too afraid to speak, but Su Jing still held his head high: "Listening to the tone of the two masters, it seems very reasonable. I don't know what would happen if the news that the officials of this dynasty privately kept courtesans got out, and how it would affect the reputation of the two masters."
Zhou Wen and Wang Lingsong were both stunned, speechless.
At this time, another woman came in, who was Du Lao Da, who had just bullied Su Jing.
Du Chuying walked in and saw this scene, couldn't help but feel extremely strange. When did the room have two more people?!
"Two adults, aren't you just the two of you? How are they..."
Su Jing gave a polite English-style bow, then pulled out a rope from his waist and said: "Sorry, you and Lord Wang are both under arrest! Governor Zhou, will you testify to this?" After finishing speaking, he turned around and smiled slyly at Governor Zhou.
Zhou Wen and Wang Lingsong naturally had nothing to say. Du Chuchu was also quite perplexed!
