Great Lawyer

Chapter 593 Unreasonable ([-])

"Mingyuefang is not something ordinary people can go to." Qiao Yiguang explained to Du Jiuyan: "All the guests are introduced one by one. Even if they have money, they will not be allowed to enter if they have no connections."

"They will issue a sign to each person, and only those who hold this sign can enter."

"Isn't it a brothel? It needs to be so heavily guarded?" Du Jiuyan asked strangely.

Qiao Yiguang said in a low voice: "Some people say that it's not actually a brothel, because no one saw prostitutes coming and going inside, but some people saw many men coming and going inside."

"A man?" Du Jiuyan raised his eyebrows, his eyes lit up, King Gui coughed, and whispered a warning in her ear: "Shut it up, your expression is too wretched right now."

Du Jiuyan sternly said to King Gui: "My lord, don't you find that there is something wrong with Mingyuefang?"

"No!" King Gui contemptuously said.

The lame man and Meng Jiao came in from the door, and they sat down at the table. Du Jiuyan changed the subject decisively, looked at Meng Jiao, "Meng Dudu, how is your inquiry?"

Meng Jiao went to the guard in the afternoon.

"They also said that they had heard about it, and some people visited the palace at night, but they said that everything inside was normal and nothing suspicious was found."

"So, they suspect that King Huai has a residence in Maoshan, outside the west city." Meng Jiao said.

Qiao Yiguang shook his head, "No, we are too familiar with Maoshan. We go in and out countless times a year, and we know every road and every valley inside."

"If there is a residence in it, there is no way we can't find it."

Meng Jiao nodded, and said: "But the soldiers and horses have been arranged according to the prince's order. From tonight, they will sneak into the city. The rest of the people are on standby at the gates of the city, and they can do it at any time."

"Okay." Du Jiuyan cupped his hands and said, "Thank you for your hard work."

Then he looked at King Gui again, "Where is your lord, can you gain anything from going to the government office?"

King Gui visited the prefect of Ji'an as the county magistrate Liu.It is not easy to be the magistrate of a vassal land. If you do well, you can restrain each other with the vassal king. If you don’t do well, you will become a puppet.

It is an official position that officials do not expect.

"No, I bought a cup of tea and signaled for me to leave. If I hadn't been the magistrate Liu, I would have screwed his head off." King Gui was so angry that he was very unhappy.

Du Jiuyan was not surprised, and looked at Gu Qingshan and Han Dang again, "What about you?"

This time Qiao Mo didn't come, only Gu Qingshan and Han Dang followed.

"We stared outside the palace for a while, but found nothing." Gu Qingshan looked at Qiao Yiguang with doubts in his eyes, "Are you sure that your daughter, niece, and those missing girls are related to Prince Huai's mansion?"

"I swear," Qiao Yiguang replied, "it was King Huai who did it."

Gu Qingshan looked at Du Jiuyan, shook his head and said: "If King Huai didn't hide, then he knew we were coming, so he made arrangements in advance."

Du Jiuyan said: "Don't worry, as long as he really did those things, there will be clues."

"Impossible not to find out."

She stood up as she spoke, and said vigorously: "Then, everyone, go to rest and talk about it tomorrow."

Meng Jiao and Gu Qingshan went back to sleep, Du Jiuyan watched and prepared to go back, King Gui and the cripple looked at her.King Gui asked, "Are you going back to bed too?"

"Yeah, of course I have to go to bed so late."

The lame man said, "Did you plan to visit Mingyuefang?"

"How is it possible, even if I want to go in, I need someone to introduce me." Du Jiuyan said: "Don't think too much, go to bed early."

She opened the door and went back to her room, took a nap and waited until midnight, when everything outside became quiet, she opened the window, and just as she jumped off, two figures appeared on the left and the right.

"Hehe," Du Jiuyan looked at the two men in front of him, "It's so late, you... want to practice too?"

King Gui said: "Recently, we sleep during the day and play the horse crane at night. I don't believe you can sleep."

The lame man said: "Mingyuefang is both mysterious and strange, there's no way you don't want to go."

"Then together, anyway, we have similar hobbies." Du Jiuyan pulled the two of them, "With you together, I am worried that it will be a lot bigger."

King Gui ignored her.

The three of them went outside Mingyuefang together.

Although it was already midnight and the curfew had passed, the inside was not quiet at all.

"Strange," said the lame man, frowning as he walked all the way, "there are no people living in the houses near the four alleys of Mingyuefang."

Du Jiuyan also noticed it when he came in the afternoon, "That's why I said it's strange here."

The three turned over the roof, and the cripple looked at the shadow, and said in a low voice: "There are two people holding hands in every direction, and their martial arts are not weak." He looked at Du Jiuyan, "You can't get in."

"There are so many people," Du Jiuyan couldn't see, she was not as good as Gui Wang and Liezi in this respect, "then stay on the roof for a while."

The three of them stayed on the roof and did not dare to move around, but they could see people coming and going in the yard from time to time.

King Gui lifted two tiles, and Chengchen covered them with white gauze, which blocked their sight. They couldn't see the people in the room clearly. It was a row of naked little girls.

"This is not bad, and the bones are not bad."

"This is obviously not as good as the first batch, no, it can't." He said again: "Shopkeeper Su, call me when there will be new products, I don't even look down on these today."

"You came too late. The first two or three batches were all top quality, and they were bought away as soon as they came up."

"I heard that the most expensive one was 1 taels tonight, which is really an unprecedented high price."

Shopkeeper Su said: "Let me tell you quietly, this is not the best. I reserved one for an old customer tonight, 8 taels, top quality!"

"Big or small, so expensive?"

"Hey, when will the big ones be available at this price." Shopkeeper Su said: "You didn't see that, that appearance and figure, even the toes make people's blood swell."

The room was quiet for a while, and after a while, someone said: "You didn't tell us this good thing, and we can only pick up these defective products. Forget it, today is too disappointing."

"Let's go." Someone yawned, "Come back next month."

Shopkeeper Su should be the one who sent them off, "Guests, go slowly, please be early next time."

Everyone chatted and went out, and the room fell silent.

The three of Du Jiuyan looked at each other, and Du Jiuyan said, "Go beat the black stick."

The three jumped off the roof and waited at the entrance of the alley, when they saw five carriages coming out of the alley silently one after another.

"You and the prince will follow one," the lame man and Du Jiuyan said, "I will follow the other, and we will meet at the inn later."

King Gui nodded, and Du Jiuyan told the lame man, "Be careful."

"Well, be careful." The lame man said, and quietly followed a carriage that was going far away. Du Jiuyan and King Gui went in the opposite direction, and followed all the way outside the gate of a mansion with the word "Gao" hanging on it. Entered the side door.

They jumped onto the roof and saw a middle-aged man coming out of the carriage, dressed in silk and satin with a pot belly and reeking of alcohol.

The man got out of the car with the help of a servant, who led the way with a lantern, and walked through the Ruyi Gate into the inner courtyard.

The front and rear of the yard are about four or five in size, and the mother-in-law is patrolling on the other side.

The boy passed by the patrolling old woman, who said, "Du An, why are you back alone, master?"

"Master is here." Du'an's young man turned his head while holding a lantern, with a strange expression on his face, "Where is Master?"

Everyone looked at each other.

"Did you go to the study?" asked the mother-in-law.

Du'an ran to the study again, and asked through the study: "Master, you are inside."

"En." Master Gao's voice came from inside, "I will sleep in the study tonight, you should go and rest too."

Du An hesitated to speak, but he didn't dare to ask more, "Then master, the younger one can sleep next door, if you have something to do, just call the younger one."

"No, get out." The old master Gao inside said: "Tell everyone, no one is allowed to disturb me."

The boy left with some fear.

Inside the door, Mr. Gao was kneeling on the ground with his butt out and his hands and knees on the ground. He had a foot on his back, and a sword with a cold light was resting on his neck, piercing his neck. He was sweating profusely.

He knows better than anyone how sharp the sword is, because he spent a lot of money to buy it back.

Du Jiuyan sat on a chair, sizing up the strange figure of the other party in the dimly lit room.

Very abusive pose.

"Master Gao, right?" Du Jiuyan said, "What's your full name? What business do you do?"

"Gao, Gao Yitong." Gao Yi said, "I, my family has an ancestral mine, which is the third generation in my generation."

There are mines!Du Jiuyan was very jealous, "Gold mine?"

"All." Gao Yi said, "You two young heroes, if you want money, I will promise you as much as you want, as long as you don't hurt my life."

King Gui said, "Now you have no choice."

"En." Du Jiuyan nodded.

Gao Yitong trembled in shock, "Then, what do you want to do?"

"Now it depends on your performance. We ask you questions and you answer well. We don't want your money or your life. If you don't answer well, we will take your dog's life immediately!" King Gui said.

"Also take your mine." Du Jiuyan added.

Although Gao Yitong felt that these two people were bragging, but at the moment he had no choice but to insist, "Then, if you ask, I will know everything and talk about it."

"What does Mingyuefang do?" Du Jiuyan asked.

Gao Yitong breathed a sigh of relief, the other party actually asked about Mingyuefang instead of his family affairs.

That's easy.He immediately said: "Mingyuefang looks like a brothel from the outside, but in fact it is not a brothel, but a personal market."

"What are you buying and selling?" Du Jiuyan folded his arms, his expression darkened.Gao Yitong replied: "Business... buying and selling virgins and boys and girls. The age of boys is from nine to 13, and the age of girls is from nine to twelve. Those who don't come with sunflower water are counted as cardamom, and those who come after thirteen are girls. The price Almost."

"Where do so many virgins come from?" Du Jiuyan's voice was cold, and he did not hide his anger.

Gao Yitong replied in fear: "The people in Mingyuefang took it back from outside."

"Snatch, steal, abduct?" Du Jiuyan asked.

"Yes, not all of them. There are many families who specialize in raising such children. The husband and wife have one child a year, raise them meticulously, and sell them to Mingyuefang when Dao is eight years old."

"A good-looking one can be sold for more than 1000 taels of silver, and a mediocre one can be sold for a few hundred taels."

In the dark room, Du Jiuyan hummed and didn't speak for a long time.

　My hands are so cold, it's not like taking them out of my pockets at all.want to cry!
