She went to the East Palace to be a eunuch, and the prince became her subordinate.

It turned out to be a brothel. It seemed that this place was really as described in the petition.

"Do you know where the woman inside came from?" Mo Yunzheng asked.

"Sir, I'm not the owner of the brothel, how could I know?"

There was a sound of someone talking at the corner. Mo Yunzheng frowned and then left to the side.

The person curled up in the bag then stuck his head out and looked around cautiously.

"Who on earth is it? Don't let anyone catch you!"

The two agreed to meet at the inn, and as soon as Shang Chengfeng arrived, he told everything he had found out.

It seems that what was written in the petition was correct, Yanyu Tower was the brothel in Yuancheng.

The existence of brothels is legal and reasonable, but the biggest problem would be if the women inside were not willing.

The complaint stated that women of good character were forced into prostitution. If this was true, the brothel would naturally be unable to continue operating.

"How about we go in and take a look?" Shang Chengfeng thought for a moment and then spoke. This was the only way at the moment.

If they want to know what is going on inside, they both have to go in and take a look.

The Yanyu Tower is quite large and it would be difficult to get around it alone.

Mo Yunzheng looked at his face and said, "You haven't gotten married yet, so it makes sense for you to go in."

If Wan'er knew that he was going to such a place, she would definitely be angry. It's not that he didn't want to go in, but it was because of his status.

"I am a scholar, and it is not appropriate for me to go to such a place."

The two of them kept making excuses, but in the end, neither of them could convince the other and had to go in together.

The moment I stepped into the Misty Rain Tower, I heard pleasant music in my ears. "This music is good, very good."

Shang Chengfeng was also attracted. This musician seemed to be even better than those in the palace.

There was indeed something fishy here. Mo Yunzheng narrowed his eyes slightly as he looked at the woman dancing with the silk in her hand.

They all looked very happy and didn't seem to be dissatisfied with this place, but no one knew the truth.

"My two guests, which girl do you like?" The person who came should be the madam of the brothel, who was responsible for attracting customers and also for keeping them.

The two of them were hesitant to make a decision, and Mo Yunzheng slowly said: "I want your most beautiful girl." After saying that, he took out a silver note from his sleeve and handed it to the person in front of him.

The madam smiled as soon as she saw the amount on the banknote. "Don't worry, sir. I will definitely arrange the most beautiful girl for you."

The two were taken to a private room, and Shang Chengfeng picked up the teapot and poured water.

"I didn't expect you to be so familiar with this place. It seems like you've been to places like this many times." When he first said he wanted to come here, he was pretending, but it turned out that he was more familiar with this place than anyone else.

Mo Yunzheng glanced at him. The last time he went to a brothel was with Wan'er. They both went there just to join in the fun and didn't think about that at all.

"Pretend to be more like it later."

The madam came in with the girls, and the two girls immediately stuck to them, both of them feeling uncomfortable for a moment.

Shang Chengfeng smiled awkwardly. How could he pretend? He was a scholar and had never come into contact with women on a normal day, let alone women from a brothel.

"You go out first." Mo Yunzheng looked at the madam standing beside him. The other party understood what he meant and closed the door deliberately.

"Sir, come and have a drink."

The two girls smiled at each other and immediately picked up their glasses to pour wine.

Mo Yunzheng showed helplessness on his face, "Girls, we have something to ask you." As soon as these words came out, the smile on the girl's face immediately froze, and she looked at them with strange eyes.

They come to a place like this not to have fun, but to ask questions?

"Sir, this is a brothel. If you don't want to have fun, please get out of here."

Shang Chengfeng knew the situation was bad as soon as he saw it. His words were too blunt and the two girls didn't buy it at all.

"Girls, we really have something to ask you." He took out a silver note from his sleeve and stuffed it into their hands. With the silver, everything would be easy to talk about.

The two girls looked at each other, thinking that they were not simple people, but it would take them several days to earn such money.

"Just tell me what you want to ask." One of them spoke immediately. They couldn't say too much, otherwise the people outside would not let them go.

"Did a singer die here a few days ago?" Mo Yunzheng spoke immediately. The petition was written very clearly, explaining all the filth involved.

"How do you know?"

It seems to be true. What is written in the petition is correct.

"Two girls, did you come here voluntarily?" Shang Chengfeng spoke immediately. There were many girls here. If they were really forced into prostitution, how could they not resist?

Since they don't resist, there must be something suppressing them that prevents them from resisting.

"you……"

The two did not speak, choosing to remain silent. These were not things that could be said casually.

"Don't worry, we won't harm you. If you really don't want to stay here, I can redeem you."

Mo Yunzheng spoke seriously, saying that he had to gain their trust before they would tell him the truth about the matter.

Shang Chengfeng nodded immediately and took out a gold ingot from his pocket.

This gold ingot is enough to redeem one of them, so they will believe it this way.

"We didn't do this voluntarily, but they threatened us with our families, so we dared not disobey." The two spoke up immediately. If they could get out of here, they would be free.

"Who is threatening you behind your back? Don't the people in the government office care?" Mo Yunzheng was a little anxious. It seemed that everything was true.

"My two guests, we really don't dare. Just pretend you didn't hear what we said today."

They stopped talking because talking too much would only bring about fatal disasters and implicate their families.

The power behind Yanyu Tower is very powerful, and they dare not resist. The only consequence is death.

I wanted to continue asking them something, but they refused to speak no matter how I asked.

For a moment, both of them felt helpless, but they could only come here again next time.

"We'll come back tomorrow." Mo Yunzheng watched them leave. They didn't trust them enough, so they didn't dare to say anything.

The two looked at each other and sighed. The road ahead was long and difficult, so they had to keep working hard.

At night, a woman jumped down from the attic of Yanyu Tower and fell on the door of Yanyu Tower.

The streets were crowded with people, all watching the excitement. If someone died on the street like this, the government would have to step in to deal with it.

"He jumped down last night and was found by the night watchman." Shang Chengfeng walked out from the crowd. He had just found out clearly that the man had died and could not survive.

"Are any family members coming?" Mo Yunzheng frowned. This matter was becoming more and more complicated.

"The government officials took the body away, and it seems no one has come to claim it yet." (End of this chapter)
