She felt herself getting sleepy and decided to take a nap.
Sheng Guoer lay on the bed, tossing and turning, unable to sleep.
\"Oh, I'm so sleepy, but I can't sleep...\"
Sheng Guoer lay on the bed, sighed, then closed her eyes and prepared to continue sleeping.
But not long after lying on the bed, she became confused and gradually fell asleep.
Meng Xingzhou waited for the news in the pavilion.
It wasn't until late at night that shopkeeper Zhang hurried back to the mansion.
He walked up to Meng Xingzhou, saluted respectfully, and said, "Sir, I have already investigated clearly what you ordered.\"
Meng Xingzhou's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he quickly stood up and asked, "Tell me."
\"The man behind this incident is a wealthy businessman from the Jiangnan area.\"
\"Rich businessman?\"
\"Yes, those young men from wealthy families.\"
After hearing what shopkeeper Zhang said, Meng Xingzhou frowned and said, "Then what did you find?"
\"This wealthy businessman from Jiangnan, whose surname is Wu, is called Wu Shixun. His family owns two silk and satin shops, one is a tea shop and the other is a ready-made clothing shop."
\"Well, what are his hobbies?\"
\"Not really, but Mr. Wu has a quirk.\"
\"Quirk?\"
\"Yes, it is said that he has special hobbies.\"
\"Oh, what's your hobby?\"
Meng Xingzhou became interested when he heard this.
\"He likes young women. He also has collusion with Beiling Gu Master\"
Shopkeeper Zhang said these words carefully.
\"What?\"
Meng Xingzhou looked surprised when he heard this. He obviously didn't expect that Wu Shixun had such a quirk.
\"But this Wu Shixun is also very powerful. He grew up in the capital and is very familiar with the situation in the capital.\"
\"So, the industry he runs in the capital is very profitable, and he has very close relationships with some nobles in the capital.\"
\"oh?\"
Hearing this, Meng Xingzhou nodded and continued to ask: "Then has he offended any woman?"
\"No.\"
Shopkeeper Zhang thought for a while and shook his head.
Seeing this, Meng Xingzhou nodded and continued to ask: "Then how close is he to those women?"
Shopkeeper Zhang thought about it carefully and said: "He often goes to brothels and restaurants recently, but he has never touched those women."
\"Then which brothel does he often go to?\"
\"Well...\"
Hearing this, shopkeeper Zhang hesitated and said, "I don't know much about this, but he always stays in the brothel for a while."
\"Okay, got it.\"
When Meng Xingzhou heard Shopkeeper Zhang's answer, he nodded with satisfaction, then raised his hands to Shopkeeper Zhang and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Shopkeeper Zhang."
\"There, Mr. Meng, you don't have to be polite. These are all my duties. It's not hard work.\"
After shopkeeper Zhang finished speaking, he handed over to Meng Xingzhou.
\"Then there will be shopkeeper Lao Zhang.\"
\"Mr. Meng is too polite, so I'll take my leave first.\"
\"Um.\"
Meng Xingzhou watched shopkeeper Zhang leave with an evil smile on his lips.
\"Haha, I finally found it. It seems that the show is really about to begin.\"
Meng Xingzhou murmured to himself.
"Sir, it's getting late now. You'd better go home and rest early. Come see me again tomorrow morning."
\"Okay, I'm sorry to trouble you.\"
"Young Master, you're welcome. I'll take my leave."
After shopkeeper Zhang finished speaking, he left.
Seeing this, Meng Xingzhou also left the pavilion and walked outside the house.
Shopkeeper Zhang saw this and quickly chased him out.
Meng Xingzhou entered his bedroom, changed into a black brocade robe, and then left the mansion on horseback.
...
The next day.
Meng Xingzhou rushed to the brothel where shopkeeper Zhang was located early in the morning.
Shopkeeper Zhang saw this and immediately went up to greet him.
"Sir, do you have any new activities that you would like me to help you with?"
\"That's not true. I came here because I have a personal matter to take care of.\"
After Meng Xingzhou finished speaking, he walked straight to the private room on the second floor.
Shopkeeper Zhang saw this and followed closely behind Meng Xingzhou.
"Master, please come this way. I have arranged a box for you."
\"Um.\"
Meng Xingzhou nodded.
After he arrived at the box, he waited in the private room.
Half an hour later, shopkeeper Zhang opened the door and came in.
As soon as he came in, he bowed to Meng Xingzhou and said, "Master, please come this way."
\"Well, thank you, shopkeeper Zhang.\"
After Meng Xingzhou finished speaking, he followed shopkeeper Zhang to a private room on the second floor.
After they arrived at the box, a servant served them tea.
Meng Xingzhou took a sip of tea and said, "Tell me what you want from me."
\"That's it, Young Master. Yesterday, I sent someone to investigate Young Master Wu and found out a secret, so I reported this matter to Young Master."
\"Oh? What's the secret? Tell me quickly.\"
\"Okay, Master, listen carefully. During this period, Master Wu will go to the clothing store to buy some women's clothes every few days, and he often goes to Zuimengxuan and brothels to play."
When Meng Xingzhou heard this, he frowned and asked doubtfully: "Are you sure these are true?"
\"Of course, I will never deceive you!\"
\"Oh? So, your people also know his secrets?\"
\"this......\"
Shopkeeper Zhang hesitated when he heard this and did not dare to say it.
\"In this case, there is no need for me to listen any more. Please come back.\"
After Meng Xingzhou finished speaking, he turned around and left.
\"Wait a minute! Master!\"
Seeing this, shopkeeper Zhang quickly called out to Meng Xingzhou.
Meng Xingzhou looked back and asked, "What? Does Shopkeeper Zhang have anything else to do?"
Shopkeeper Zhang hesitated for a moment, and finally said: "Sir, actually, I don't know how to talk about this matter.\"
\"Oh? It's okay to just say it.\"
Hearing this, Meng Xingzhou raised his eyebrows and looked at Shopkeeper Zhang with interest.
\"It's like this. My people discovered that Mr. Wu often spends a lot of money to invite a girl to dress up as a man in a brothel.\"
\"These are all normal, what's so strange?\"
When Meng Xingzhou heard this, he said disapprovingly.
\"But, Master, the girl disguised as a man is none other than Lin Qianyu, a fugitive wanted by our court. This woman used to be a Beiling Gu Master and is good at poisoning.\"
\"What?\"
When Meng Xingzhou heard this, his expression suddenly changed.
\"Lin Qianyu, it's her!\"
\"right.\"
Shopkeeper Zhang nodded quickly when he heard this.
Meng Xingzhou was silent for a moment and said, "Can your people still determine the specific location of that woman?"
\"It should be OK.\"
\"Well, ask someone to confirm it. Remember, don't alert the snake.\"
\"Okay, sir.\"
Shopkeeper Zhang felt relieved when he saw that Meng Xingzhou had no intention of blaming him, and then handed him over.
\"Thank you sir for reminding me, I understand.\"
Meng Xingzhou waved his hand, indicating that he could retreat.
After shopkeeper Zhang left the box, he went straight to Zuimengxuan.
...
Zuimengxuan is an extremely luxurious place, and the decoration inside all reveals extravagance.
This brothel is also the largest brothel in the capital.
This place holds a spring, summer, autumn and winter lantern competition every year.
Each lantern competition can attract various talent displays and attract a large number of dignitaries to participate in the election.
This year is no exception.
Therefore, Zuimengxuan's business is more prosperous than in previous years.
This also led to many dignitaries setting their sights on this place.
\"Shopkeeper, are everything you said true?\"
"Of course, I have seen with my own eyes that Mr. Wu often brings a group of women here, and every time he spends a lot of money to buy women's clothes, and the prices every time are terrifyingly high."
As soon as shopkeeper Zhang finished speaking, he heard Meng Xingzhou snort coldly.
\"Hmph, that Mr. Wu must have raised a bunch of women in a brothel.\"
\"Yes, he is deliberately hiding something. Only those vulgar fans will believe that he really has mysophobia.\"
When everyone heard these comments, they all agreed.
When shopkeeper Zhang heard this, he said with a proud look on his face: "Master, you see, these people are saying that Mr. Wu has a problem, do you think so?"
\"Haha, this Mr. Wu, who has some brains, actually used such a clumsy lie to cover up his true face.\"
\"Yes, if Mr. Wu has indeed kept a bunch of women here, then he is deceiving the people of the world, deceiving the court, and deceiving the emperor!\"
After Shopkeeper Zhang finished speaking, he paused and continued: "Sir, what should we do to completely expose this matter?"
\"Well...\"
After Meng Xingzhou heard this, he pondered for a while and suddenly thought of someone.
He raised the corners of his lips and revealed a sly smile.
\"Shopkeeper Zhang, I'll leave this matter to you.\"
\"Okay, Master, just wait and see, I will definitely live up to your trust.\"
Meng Xingzhou smiled and prepared to turn around and leave.
But at this moment, a burly man stopped in front of him.
The man was wearing purple clothes, with a tall and slender figure, a handsome face, sword-shaped eyebrows and starry eyes, with clear features and sharp edges.
\"This young master, my young master wants to leave, and I hope you will make way.\"
Upon seeing this, shopkeeper Zhang quickly stood in front of Meng Xingzhou and said to the man.
Hearing this, the man glanced at shopkeeper Zhang and raised the corners of his mouth slightly.
\"I advise you not to interfere in my young master's affairs.\"
\"I don't care if there is any grudge between you, but you'd better not try to sabotage my young master's plan.\"
\"Hahahaha, boy, I think you are joking.\"
When the man heard this, he suddenly raised his head and laughed wildly.
His laughter was so loud that it made Shopkeeper Zhang’s ears ring.
Shopkeeper Zhang's face turned red, he glared at the arrogant man and said through gritted teeth.
"Sir, I respect you as a man, you'd better shut up!"
The man laughed for a full quarter of an hour before he stopped smiling, looked at Meng Xingzhou, and sneered.
\"Haha, this young master, I think you are also a person. Why don't you leave all the money here and I will leave immediately.\"
When Meng Xingzhou heard this, the expression on his face instantly became gloomy.
He didn't expect that this man would dare to be so arrogant!
\"Do you know who I am? How dare you threaten me?!\"
\"So what if I threaten you?!\"
When the man heard this, a trace of disdain flashed across his face.
\"Humph, I don't know who you are at all, but I tell you, I am a member of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of the Dongyuan Empire. If you are wise, take your money and get out immediately, otherwise...\"
\"Otherwise what?\"
Meng Xingzhou raised his eyebrows and asked.
\"Otherwise, I will let you die without a burial place!\"
Hearing what the man said, Shopkeeper Zhang's face was filled with anxiety and he wanted to stop him.
Although he didn't know who His Highness the Crown Prince was, he knew that this man was definitely not something they could afford to offend.
They are just ordinary people. If they offend His Royal Highness, they will be in big trouble.
However, before shopkeeper Zhang could say anything, Meng Xingzhou reached out to stop him.
Meng Xingzhou sneered: "Haha, I want to see it!"
