Yiman looked at the increasingly tragic letter in his hand and sighed deeply.

"Princess, you have been sitting all day, why don't you go and rest early today?"

Yiman stood up and walked to the window with his hands behind his hands, looking at the bright moon, "I wonder if Ji Lan is resting now?"

Pinecone looked worried and sighed.

"Princess, the bandit leader is about to attack."

Yiman turned around suddenly and looked at Lu Bo who came in, "Where are you?"

Lu Bo wiped his sweat and said, "It's in Lihua Hutong in the middle of the capital. The bandit leader said that he always sends people there."

"Princess, do you want to send troops immediately?"

Yiman frowned slightly, "No, since we are in Beijing, the news must be flowing smoothly. We must first catch the mastermind behind this before we can put an end to this matter."

"what should we do then?"

Yiman took a deep breath and said, "Control the madam first, she must be an insider. It is best to make her confess in the flower house, so that we can find out the behind-the-scenes as much as possible."

Lu Bo and Song Guo looked at each other, "Let Master Chu Nan go to Hualou for interrogation?"

Yiman shook his head slightly, "As long as they are proficient in interrogation, they are hidden in the dark and cannot see the light, so they can interrogate in secret. Call Bai Yi, he has the best ability to hide traces."

a quarter of an hour later

Bai Yi stood in Yiman's study, bowing his head and remaining silent.

Yiman raised his eyebrows and looked at Bai Yi, who had an unpredictable expression, "You don't want to go to the Flower House?"

There was silence in the study room. After a while, Bai Yi raised his head and said, "When I saw the flower building -"

Seeing that Bai Yi was in trouble, Yiman didn't want to push him any further. If there was really something inside that would cause the mission to go awry, the gain would outweigh the gain.

Yiman sighed, "Nothing--"

"Princess, when I saw the flower house, my knees became weak. When I was young, I saw my sister being dragged into the flower house, and I got this problem."

The atmosphere in the study stagnated, and he rubbed his sleeves twice, "I have never cared about you as much as I care about Ji Lan and the others. If it were your sister-"

"died."

Yiman sighed slightly, "In that case, you can have a good rest in the house. I will arrange for others to do this."

"Princess, do you want to go by yourself?"

Seeing that he was exposed, Yiman cleared his throat and said, "Nothing, I will call Zhou Yu with me."

Bai Yi nodded and exited the study.

Waiting until late at night, Yiman changed his clothes and walked to Lihua Alley from the back door.

Just as he was about to go in, someone grabbed his wrist and took out a dagger in his right hand to stab him out.

"Yiman."

The first time she heard Zhou Yu call her name, Yiman was obviously stunned for a moment. She turned around and saw Zhou Yu, obviously a little uncomfortable.

In order not to lose momentum, Yiman spoke first, "How did you know I was here?"

"Guard Bai saw you leaving the house alone and went to find me."

Knowing clearly that Lihua Alley is full of brothels and brothels, knowing that this might be a lair for kidnapping women, yet still coming alone, Zhou Yu's eyes were clearly unhappy.

Seeing Zhou Yu's eyes, Yiman cleared his throat guiltily, "I saw it too late. It's not convenient to go to the Zhou Mansion to find you. Besides, I used to do everything myself."

Zhou Yu put the cloak in his arms on Yiman and said, "Call me later."

Yiman lowered his head slightly and responded with erratic eyes.

Seeing them walking in and out of Lihua Alley, both men and women looked at the two of them, especially Zhou Yu.

Yiman snorted coldly and glanced at Zhou Yu, "You didn't wear a mask, hood or anything?" Zhou Yu, with a smile in his eyes, took Yiman to the street outside and found a small shop selling childish toys. He picked up a pig mask and put it on his face, "That's good."

Yiman raised his eyebrows and burst into laughter.He took out a piece of broken silver and gave it to the boss, then took Zhou Yu into Lihua Alley and found the largest one.

"If you wear a mask, will they not let you in?"

"If they have money, they will only think that they are dignitaries who are here to have fun. I have heard students from Qingcai Academy mention it before."

Yiman suppressed a smile and nodded, "I won't be jealous randomly. Even if you have been here, it will be fine. Just go in."

Zhou Yu said nothing and couldn't see his expression clearly. He just nodded and followed into the flower building.

As soon as he entered the flower house, a girl immediately greeted him.At a glance, one can tell that the two men are male and female.

"Hey, girl, we don't accept female customers here."

He took out a stack of banknotes from his sleeve and saw the girl's eyes glued to it. Yiman smiled slightly and said, "My husband and I have some special hobbies. Let your madam lead some girls to entertain them personally. If I am satisfied, there will be more."

This outrageous behavior immediately caught the eyes of the girls and the turtle slave, who immediately stared at the banknotes and nodded.

"Then please go upstairs, madam. Hurry, someone is here to greet you."

“It’s really rare to find such an enlightened lady.”

"Stop talking nonsense, go and beg the flower girl."

Yiman pulled Zhou Yu up to the second floor and entered the private room surrounded by everyone.Looking back, Zhou Yu's ears were completely red, as if they were soaked in dye.

Yiman held back a smile and took Zhou Yu's hand, pulling him directly into the elegant room.

It is indeed the elegant room of a brothel. There is a big bed behind the screen, and there is a place for elegant music performances opposite the drinking area.

"Which young lady is this? Let me see -"

As soon as he stepped into the private room, the madam led a group of people outside the door.

Yiman pulled Zhou Yu to the wine table first, raised his eyes and said, "Madam, I have something to ask, please ask the girls to step aside first."

The madam's face slowly turned cold, "Hey, madam, we are not a teahouse."

Yiman took out a stack of banknotes from his sleeve and placed it on the table, "What now?"

"Hey, you can ask, you can ask. Hurry up and step aside."

The madam poured a glass of wine diligently and looked over the two of them.

Seeing the door of the private room being closed, Yiman glanced at Zhou Yu and asked, "Are there anyone eavesdropping around outside?"

Zhou Yu stood up and listened carefully at each door and window, "No."

"Tap her dumb hole."

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhou Yu took action immediately.The madam suddenly panicked and tried to run out of the private room.

Yiman sneered, raised his leg and kicked the person to the ground.It was this flower house that Lu Bo tracked down. The madam was involved in concealing the woman, so no matter how hard she dealt with it, she couldn't handle it too much.

"How often do you receive girls from all over?"

The madam's eyes were filled with surprise, and in a moment, she was alert.

Yiman glanced at Zhou Yu, who squatted down and untied the madam's mute hole.Seeing that the madam wanted to speak out immediately, Zhou Yu quickly tapped the dumb point again.

Yiman sneered, "I advise you to be honest, otherwise I have many ideas."

As he spoke, he took out a set of miniature torture instruments from his sleeve, including but not limited to iron skewers, facial thorn needles, iron sheets and a series of other tools.

There was a momentary look of fear in the Madam's eyes, and she tightened her neck, as if someone was supporting her from behind.

Yiman sneered, took the iron stick and burned it on the candle, and slowly approached the madam, "Do you think I can't do anything to you because you have a backer?" (End of Chapter)
