Early in the morning, Su Lin opened his eyes and glanced at Yiyi lying next to him. The two of them had been tossing all night, and now Yiyi was still sleeping soundly, with a lotus-rooted arm resting on his chest, with a light blush on her pretty face.

Su Lin gently lifted her arms and put them aside. He got out of bed and put on his own clothes. During this time, Su Lin had learned how to put on the clothes from the past.

When he left Yiyi's door, her maid was already waiting at the door. When she saw Su Lin, she hurriedly went up to say hello, "Master Su is awake, would you like the kitchen to make you some breakfast?"

"No, Yiyi is still sleeping, let her rest for a while, I'm leaving." Su Lin turned and left.

The maid looked at Su Lin's leaving figure and thought to herself, "Master Su is so awesome. He didn't stop all night last night."

At this time, Yiyi's voice came from the room, "Myolie, please come in."

The maid named Xing'er heard the sound and entered the room. She saw that Yiyi had put on her clothes and was sitting by the bed. "Let him go."

"Already gone." Myolie replied.

"Go and tell Aunt Yun later that Sulin has begun to doubt Tianxiang and ask her to find a way to send Tianxiang away. If that doesn't work, let her... forget it, Tianxiang has done it all these years. There are many things to do, so let’s find a way to send her away.”

Yiyi didn't say anything further, but Xing'er understood what she meant and sighed to herself, "Miss is still too kind."

Yiyi wanted to get up and change her clothes, but the clothes on her body were already wrinkled from last night's tossing. But as soon as she stood up, she felt that her legs were weak and there was a slight pain, and she couldn't help but let out a soft "ah".

Xing'er's eyes quickly moved forward to support her, "Miss, are you okay?"

Yiyi frowned, "I'm fine. I didn't have a good rest yesterday. This Su Lin seems to be a different person. Myolie, you told Aunt Yun to bring me some water later. I want to take a bath."

"Okay, miss." Xing'er helped Yiyi sit down and then turned around. ,

After a while, Xing'er filled the bathtub in Yiyi's room with water, helped Yiyi get into the water, and helped her wipe her body. She saw some red marks on Yiyi's neck and chest, and couldn't help but said, "Miss, The prince sent you to imprison Su Lin. You have sacrificed your innocence. But it has been ineffective for so long. Now that Hua Shaoqing's case has happened again, Daqing will definitely investigate more strictly. Okay, if this continues, when can we go back?"

Yiyi sighed softly, a trace of confusion flashed in her eyes, "I don't want to stay here any longer, but the task has not been completed yet. And I found that Sulin seems to have become a different person recently, and it is getting harder and harder to figure out. For a moment, I There is no good way, we can only take it one step at a time."

Xing'er suddenly teased, "Miss, you are not in love with this dandy, are you?"

Yiyi blushed. She seemed to have become particularly fond of blushing recently, and said, "You dare to tease me, little girl. Please wash it quickly. I will take a rest later."

After the words were divided, Su Lin left Wanhua Building and walked down the street with Ma San.

"Ma San, let's go find something for breakfast." Su Lin said to Ma San.

"Okay, Master."

Ma San took Su Lin to a place selling breakfast. Ma San asked Su Lin for pancakes, steamed buns and soup. When they were served, Ma San stood aside.

Su Lin frowned and said, "Ma San, if it's just the two of us from now on, you should sit down together. I can't eat while you stand."

Ma San grinned widely and said, "Okay, young master." He ordered another breakfast for himself and sat down next to Su Lin to eat together.

Su Lin was eating steamed buns, thinking about what Yiyi said to him yesterday, and asked Ma San, "Ma San, under what circumstances do you think a woman with enough ransom money would not redeem her body, but let her continue to stay?" Why don’t you leave at the brothel?”

Ma San's mouth was full of fried cakes. Hearing Su Lin's words, Ma San replied vaguely, "Master, there must be someone who makes her willing. You think women must value reputation more than life. If there wasn't someone who could If she is willing to do this, she will not agree to it no matter how much money is given to her."

Su Lin heard that it made sense. Why didn't I expect that? He patted Ma San on the shoulder happily, "I didn't expect you to have such an opinion. It's not bad. Eat quickly. After eating, we will go back to the Yamen. Now let's wait and see what we can find in the fifth place." ”

Upon hearing this, Ma San lowered his head to eat his breakfast. When the two of them finished breakfast and arrived at the Penal Department Yamen, Zhu Guangtian and his two men were already waiting for Su Lin there.

Seeing Su Lin, Zhu Guangtian poured him a cup of tea and then said, "Mr. Lin, I have already found out what you asked me to check yesterday."

"So fast?" Su Lin was a little surprised. This guy was very unambiguous in his work.

Zhu Guangtian scratched his head, "There is an acquaintance of my father in the household department. I asked him to check last night and found out that Hua Shaoqing runs a restaurant in the capital under someone else's name, called Wangjing Tower. The business is pretty good, and every year he pays The Ministry of Household Affairs has a lot of tax money." He chuckled again, "It is said that Wangjing Tower is very luxurious, and there are girls who receive guests. It is not more generous than Wanhua Tower. Many princes and nobles go there to have fun. "

Su Lin was surprised and said, "How do your father's acquaintances know that Hua Shaoqing opened the business under someone else's name? There is also a brothel opened in a restaurant, and no one from the household department checked it."

Zhu Guangtian said, "It seems that when this restaurant was first opened, Hua Shaoqing asked someone to take him to the household department. I don't know the details. As for the question of checking it. You said this is a restaurant opened by Hua Shaoqing. Who dares to be so ignorant as to investigate the chief minister’s son?”

Su Lin was even more surprised, "Old Man Hua would let his son do this kind of business. Isn't this a slap in the face?"

Zhu Guangtian said, "I don't know about this, but I think since Hua Shaoqing opened the restaurant under someone else's name, he must have his own way of hiding it from the chief minister, and others will not go to the chief minister with nothing to do. Report such a complaint to your lord."

Su Lin nodded. What Li Chen and Li Chen said did make sense. If Hua Shaoqing sincerely wanted to hide it from his father, he would definitely have his own way.

He said, "Is Wangjing Tower still open now?"

"It's still open. I'm also very surprised. Logically speaking, the restaurant shouldn't be able to open if Hua Shaoqing dies. But I heard that the business of this restaurant is still very good. It seems that Hua Shaoqing's death has no impact on them. "

"Interesting." Su Lin smiled. "It seems that there are other unknown things here. Let's go to Wangjing Tower at noon today."

When it was approaching noon, Su Lin took Ma San and Li Chen to Wangjing Tower under the leadership of Zhu Guangtian. Wangjing Tower is located in the north of the city. At first glance, it looks very impressive. It occupies a large area of ​​land. There are halls and small single-family buildings inside for different people to come and spend money.

Su Lin and his entourage walked in and were greeted by a young man, "Welcome the young gentlemen to Wangjing Tower. Are the young gentlemen here to eat or drink?"

Su Lin asked, "What? You're only allowed to eat but not drink?"

Seeing that the leader was dressed luxuriously and not like ordinary people, the boy replied politely, "Young master, I misunderstood. When we eat here, you order food and drink. Drinking means finding a girl to accompany you. You see..."

"Oh." Su Lin nodded, "Find a clean place for us, prepare a good banquet, and have some girls accompany us."

"Okay!" the young man said, "Sir, please come with me." He led a few people inside and walked through the corridor to a small building called Wangmei. "Sir, do you think it's okay?"

"Yes, this is it."

"Sir, the price for the banquet you want plus four girls is..." The boy was still worried. After all, it was the first time for these people to come, so he said a little cautiously.

Hearing this, Su Lin took out a banknote worth a hundred taels from his sleeve and handed it to the boy, "Just give it to me, money is not a problem. Take good care of me, and I will rent a building for you." His dandyism was clearly evident in his words. Ma San and others were dumbfounded. They couldn't help but secretly extend their thumbs, "Young Master (Lin Shao) is still domineering."

But the boy didn't think so. "Sir, this one hundred taels may be a lot in other places, but it's not enough here. The reward for the girls alone is at least one hundred taels."

Su Lin started to dig his toes on the ground. He was embarrassed. He was so embarrassed. He wanted to pretend to be cool, but he didn't know that he was ridiculed instead.

But Su Lin was thick-skinned. He said to Zhu Guangtian, "You bitch, why didn't you tell me in advance? You really want to see my joke, young master, right?" Zhu Guangtian was so aggrieved that he didn't dare to say anything, so he could only keep his head down. Without saying a word, Li Chen beside him almost fainted from laughing.

Su Lin said to the boy, "I don't know if it's my first time here." Then he said to Ma San, "Hurry up and get the young master's money."

Ma San was also suppressing a laugh. Hearing Su Lin's words, he took out two thousand taels of silver notes from his clothes and handed them to the boy, "Is this enough?"

The boy immediately changed his smile and said, "That's enough. Young Master, please come in and arrange it for you right away."

Su Lin and others entered the building, and the waiter closed the door and went out. Ma San and Li Chen couldn't help laughing anymore.

Su Lin was furious, "Isn't it funny? You want to rebel, right? Believe it or not, I will slap you."

Ma San and Li Chen still couldn't help laughing. After getting along with Su Lin during this period, they also found that although Su Lin was very talkative, he still took good care of them, so they were not afraid at all.

At this time, Zhu Guangtian came out and said, "Don't laugh. Mr. Lin, have you noticed? The boy here seems to have practiced martial arts."

"How can I tell if I don't know Kung Fu?" Su Lin complained.

Li Chen also stopped laughing and said, "I also noticed that the boys here have very steady steps. At first glance, they are Lianjiazi. If there are two of them, it is not strange, but when I walked over, I found that every boy is the same. This That’s not normal.”

Su Lin touched his chin, "It seems that there are more secrets in this Wangjing Tower than I thought. Don't worry, since we are all here, we will slowly put on our coats while eating. If you don't believe me, don't ask at all." Don’t come out.”
