"Wait a minute... Your Highness, I seem to have remembered something!"
Just when Ying Feiyu was about to spread the direction to see if there was such a person in the surrounding areas, a young government servant suddenly spoke, as if he had thought of something.
"What's on your mind? Don't worry about whether it's useful or not, just say it first!"
For fear of missing any clue, Kang Anping quickly explained.
"Master Kuan...?"
The yamen servant banged his head and thought carefully, "Why do I always feel that this name is so familiar? It seems like I have heard it somewhere before?"
"Don't worry, think carefully!"
Ying Feiyu comforted.
"Um!"
"Master Kuan...Master Kuan...Brother Kuan? Yes! It's Brother Kuan!"
After repeating it a few times, the young Yamen's eyes suddenly lit up.
"You brat, we are looking for Mr. Kuan now. What are you telling us about Mr. Kuan?"
However, just as the young yamen servant showed a proud smile, he was slapped on the back of the head by the county magistrate.
The young yamen servant was extremely aggrieved, "No, some people call him Master Kuan, but the madam in the house calls him Brother Kuan!"
"Xiangmanlou?"
Kang Anping and Ying Feiyu were both attracted by this name.
"That's right! I heard this name in Xiangmanlou!"
The little yamen servant said firmly.
"But Goulanwashe?"
Just by hearing the name, you know that this must be a brothel.
How could an ordinary shop have such a name?
"Uh... yes! Hehe! I haven't gotten married yet, so I usually like to go shopping in places like this when I have money. When I have a wife in the future, I promise...!"
"Stop! We don't have time to listen to this nonsense, just tell us what's going on!"
The young yamen officer also wanted to ask himself to defend himself, to prove that he was not the kind of unclear person.
But Kang Anping didn't have time to listen to his nonsense!
As long as he has money, he can go wherever he likes!
What he was concerned about was how he heard the names Brother Kuan and Master Kuan!
"Oh! Okay! That's what happened! One day I went to Xiangman Building to look for Miss Xiao Cui, but the Madam said she had a guest. After waiting for a long time on the first floor, I finally saw Miss Xiao Cui coming downstairs. Next to her was A middle-aged man with a big belly held Xiao Cui’s hand and squeezed it from time to time, which made my teeth itch with anger!”
"Damn it, what's the use of saying all this? Master Shangshu asked you to talk about the key points!"
This time, before Ying Feiyu and Kang Anping could say anything to stop them, the county magistrate spoke first.
"The key point...the key point is that when the madam saw him, she hurriedly greeted him and said that the quality of this batch of girls was good and that she would get another batch for her soon. She also called her "Brother Kuan", which is called cordiality!"
The young yamen officer recalled the scene that day and continued: "After the middle-aged man said a few perfunctory words, he led his men out of Xiangmanlou. Before leaving, I heard his men call out a word of mercy. Lord!"
"That's the thing. As for whether this Mr. Kuan is the Mr. Kuan we are looking for now, I don't know!"
After the young yamen servant finished speaking, he took a step back and hid himself among the yamen servants.
"Brother Kuan, Master Kuan?"
"The house is full of fragrance, bringing a girl with you?"
Ying Feiyu and Kang Anping looked at each other and seemed to already have the answer in their hearts.
"Are you sure that the madam at Xiangmanlou knows Mr. Kuan?"
Then, their eyes fell on the young yamen servant again.
"I'm sure, they must know each other. The madam's attitude is very enthusiastic. Looking at his posture, he seems to be begging for that Brother Kuan!"
The little yamen servant said firmly.
"Okay! Go and bring the bustard here immediately. Don't disturb anyone!"
Kang Anping issued the order.
"Yes! Don't worry, Minister!"
With the clues, the county magistrate immediately ordered people to handle it.
"If the predictions are correct, that Mr. Kuan should be a human reseller, but the people in his hands definitely came from the wrong way!"
Kang Anping guessed.
In this era, people can indeed be resold, as long as both parties are willing and there is a contract!
But he believed that the woman in Master Kuan's hands had no contract at all.
Even if there is, it is all fake!
Those girls were kidnapped by robbers in the mountains. After some training, the obedient ones were sold to brothels, and the disobedient ones were thrown into the ravine!
This Mr. Kuan is profiting from it.
Anyway, it’s a business without capital. If you sell one, you’ll make one!
"Um!"
Ying Feiyu nodded in agreement.
"Ouch! Sir! We have so many girls in the building, why do you have to bring me here if you don't want to choose? I am an old and senile person! And, is it you who are looking for me, or your master? me?"
"Just look for it! Can't you find a suitable place? In the Yamen? Isn't this inappropriate?"
"Also, don't you guys always look for Xianglian? Why did you think of me today...?"
In a short while, Ying Feiyu and others were drinking tea in the back office and waiting.
I heard a woman's chirping voice coming from the front.
When it was mentioned that the magistrate usually looked for Xiang Lian, everyone's eyes were focused on the magistrate.
"No, no, no, Your Highness the Crown Prince, Master Shangshu, it's nothing, don't listen to her nonsense!"
After saying that, the county magistrate immediately stood up and hurried forward to the office, fearing that if he was a step too late, the ungrateful madam would come up with something else.
Although the court did not explicitly stipulate that county magistrates were not allowed to visit brothels.
It's easy to say but not nice, especially in front of His Highness the Crown Prince!
"Where is your master? You can't just be here in front of the Yamen, right? Isn't this inconvenient? Could it be that... your master has this special hobby?"
The madam was dressed in festive red, her face covered with powder, and she kept talking.
Seeing that the officer who brought him here still didn't speak, the madam twisted her waist and began to unbutton her collar, "Okay! Here it is, it's not like I haven't been seen before, so there's nothing to be embarrassed about!"
"But I have to say it first. Although I am old and beautiful, the price must not be less, and I can only serve one person at a time!"
"Ahem..."
While the madam was talking to herself, the county magistrate came out with a face and coughed twice as a reminder.
"Ouch! Lord County Magistrate, look at these guys around you, they brought people here without saying a word...!"
"When this officer is asking a case, you are not allowed to speak until you are asked to speak!"
However, the county magistrate kept a straight face and did not make her angry.
This confused the madam, "Huh? So the magistrate likes this kind of thing? Is this how you usually play with Xiang Lian?"
"Bangdang..."
"Shut up now!"
Xingmu knocked on the table, making a crisp sound, which frightened the madam.
Later, Ying Feiyu, Kang Anping and other government servants walked out together, and the madam realized that something was not right!
"What? Are you serious...?"
