Vol 4 Chapter 94: See also secret road (two more)

Ye Chang waited outside the Hongfen Building, when Su Fengnuan came out, he raised his eyebrows at her.
Su Fengnuan handed him a list of names in his hand, and said in a low voice, "Jiang Mu is Shen Qi? You should know a lot about him, don't you? Turn around and tell me the inside story."
Ye Chang took the list, took a look, squinted his eyes, and categorically said, "Jiang Mu is Shen Qi, yes, but apart from the Hongfen Lou, he never set foot in other brothels."
Su Fengnuan was startled, "What do you mean?"
Ye Chang said, "Is the list given to you by the old bustard? What did she say?"
Su Fengnuan lowered his voice and told Ye Chang what the old bustard said when he mentioned Shen Qi.
Ye Chang nodded and said, "He did have a hidden illness before, but he was cured by Doctor Meng a long time ago. It was only when he was thirteen or fourteen. Later, besides listening to music in the Hongfenlou with me, he did I have never been to a brothel anywhere else."
Su Fengnuan said in a puzzled manner, "Then what's going on? My people don't lie to me, especially this kind of thing that you expose all at once."
Ye Chang condensed his eyebrows.
Su Fengnuan said, "Today the elders of Bixuan Pavilion are going to Beijing, and she will go to Rong'an Palace in the evening, and I will ask her again at that time. Could she make a mistake?"
Ye Chang said, "She has been in the capital for many years, and you have your trust. I have dealt with her for a long time. I don’t have to say anything about loyalty. In addition, she is very capable of operating a Hongfenlou. If she said that, she should not wrong."
Su Fengnuan said, "Is there any other secret here?"
Ye Chang said, "There are two points, one is that Shen Qi is hiding it from me, and the other is that someone pretends to be in his name."
Su Fengnuan said, "If Shen Qi was hiding from you, this matter would be simple, it's nothing more than a hidden illness that is not good, it cannot be said. But if I can hide it from you for a day, can I hide it from you for many years? Since he was 13 or 4 years old It's been four or five years since he started. If he didn't hide it from you, then it would be hard to tell."
Ye Chang said, "Exactly, the people around me, if I don't know the details, how can they be called brothers?"
Su Fengnuan said, "For so many years, apart from coming to Hongfenlou, have you not cared much about other brothels and other things."
Ye Chang said, "Naturally, if it weren't for listening to Sese playing "Thinking of the Lord", do you think I would go to the Hongfenlou?"
Su Feng Nuan looked at him with a smile, "Perhaps, you don't care much. After all, I haven't returned to Beijing for these years, and you are living in a muddle-headed manner."
Ye Chang nodded, sincerely, "That's true."
Su Fengnuan said, "Isn't Qi Shu in your house? Go back and ask him tonight. He is different from you. You sometimes get drunk for three months and sleep for three months, and the statement is with Qi Shu and also with Shen Qi. People. Maybe better than you."
Ye Chang nodded, "Okay, I will ask her when I go back today."
The two stood at the entrance of the Hongfen Building, and a group of people from the government office searched the brothels.
In addition to the red sleeves, all the brothels such as Hongfenlou, Huazhuxiu, Yurenfang, and Meirenzhai were all searched.
It was getting late, and after all the searches were completed, everyone came to report and said nothing was found.
Ye Chang pursed his lips, "It seems that I can only start with the people recruited by the red sleeves."
Su Fengnuan thought for a while, and said to Ye Chang, "The case of the secret path of the agency cannot be terminated by the red sleeve trick. I think maybe they don't understand the agency." After the words fell, she looked at the brothel storefront along the street and said to Ye Shang Said, "You and I will check the Huazhuxiu carefully again."
Ye Chang raised his eyebrows, "Why check the Huazhuxiu alone?"
Su Fengnuan said, "The secret road case of the government started in the Guozhang's mansion. Since Concubine Yue has a heart to harm the Guozhang's mansion, she must also end up at the Guozhang's mansion." After that, she said, "I heard that Hua Zhuxiu's host is the husband Man's brother?"
Ye Chang nodded, "Exactly."
"Go, go and see." Su Feng Nuan said.
Ye Chang also felt that Su Fengnuan was right, nodded, and entered the Hua Candle Show.
The Prince of the East Palace had an accident. Qing Huafang in Lingyun Town and Hong Xiuzhao in Jingcheng were sealed off and the other went bankrupt. Although the prime minister's mansion was implicated in the Yuegui concubine case, it was safe and sound. Therefore, relying on the prime minister's mansion. The flower show for survival is still operating today.
The old bustard hurriedly greeted the two when they arrived.
Ye Chang took a leisurely look at her and said, "Let everyone in the building leave their own rooms and courtyards, and Miss Su and I will personally search the rooms and courtyards."
The old bustard was taken aback, but he knew that the two of them searched the Huazhuxiu specially for a reason. They did not dare to defy, and even nodded, while ordering people to come out, quietly sending someone to ask someone to inform the owner behind the scenes.
Su Fengnuan and Ye Chang searched carefully along the courtyards of Huazhuxiu's rooms, and half an hour later, in a boudoir of a courtyard, they found the secret tunnels that were exactly the same as those under the bed of Guozhang Mansion Xu Lingyi.
The two glanced at each other, thinking that they had guessed right.
Su Feng Nuan said, "I don't know where this secret road leads to?"
Ye Chang said, "You'll know when you go down and explore."
Su Fengnuan nodded.
As soon as the two of them were about to go down, there was a sound of people shouting "Uncle Xiaoguo" in courtesy. The two stopped and waited for Xu Yunchu.
Xu Yunchu came to this place very quickly. When he saw the secret tunnel in the room that was exactly the same as that under Xu Lingyi's bed, his whole face sank.
Su Fengnuan looked at him and said, "I thought that the secret road started at the Guozhang's Mansion, and should also end at the Guozhang's Mansion, so I came to check here carefully. Sure enough!"
Xu Yunchu's thin lips pressed into a line and said, "I've never been here before, but I don't even know there is a secret path."
Ye Chang said on the side, "No wonder you, after all, you are a gentleman, and you never set foot in the land of the Hongfenhualou, even if this is your uncle's public."
Xu Yunchu rubbed his eyebrows and said, "He transferred this matter to me three years ago."
Ye Chang was startled.
Su Fengnuan looked at Xu Yunchu, "Behind the scenes is known to all Beijing, but he did not expect it to be you now."
Xu Yunchu said, "Three years ago, my uncle got a serious illness. I asked Master Lingyun from Lingyun Temple to save him. After he recovered from his illness, he gave it to me. Let me not underestimate this pink brothel. It is a good place to gather information. I will be useful in the future, so I accepted it."
Su Fengnuan asked, "You haven't been here since you accepted it?"
Xu Yunchu said, "Every half a month, Huazhuxiu will send me news, including information on things in Beijing and Jianghu."
Su Feng Nuan suddenly said, "No wonder when I knew you, you seemed to know the rivers and lakes very well, it turned out to be through the Hua Candle Show."
Xu Yunchu nodded, "Exactly."
Su Fengnuan said, "Your uncle seems to be a very extraordinary character."
Xu Yunchu said, "When his uncle was young, he traveled and traveled across the rivers and lakes. After he returned to Beijing, he opened a candle show for his family to gain a foothold in the capital. He did not want to enter the court as an official, preferring to do business, and assisted his family with meridian gold and silver. The people from the court are based in the court. He is the financial support of the family. Huazhuxiu is not only found in Beijing, but also everywhere in Nanqi. Therefore, intelligence is all over the world."
Su Fengnuan thought about being able to marry into the national husband's house and be a national husband. Naturally, the national husband's natal family is not a general family, but also a noble family residence. In order to survive, each province naturally has its own way of standing and establishing the root of the world. It is not surprising that the brothers of the national husbands do.
She said, "He gave you all the flower shows?"
Xu Yunchu nodded, "Yes, all the flower shows are given to me."
Su Fengnuan wondered, "Is it just because you saved his life? He didn't pass the Huazhuxiu to his children, but instead passed it to your nephew who is separated by two levels of mountains?"
Xu Yunchu said, "Uncle can't educate people, he has no children in his life."
Su Fengnuan said, "No wonder."
Ye Chang asked, "Where is he now?"
Xu Yunchu said, "Last year, he said that he had been bored in Beijing for too long, and he had gone out to travel."
Su Feng Nuan said, "In other words, you haven't returned for the New Year?"
Xu Yunchu nodded, "Not returned."
Su Fengnuan asked, "I don't know where to go?"
"I don't know." Xu Yunchu shook his head, "I used Huazhuxiu to find him, but I didn't find it, so I thought he might not be willing to let me find it. I wanted to find a quiet place to hide for two years. My uncle was free and easy, presumably. When I want to come back, I will come back."
Su Feng Nuan said, "That's not right."
"What's wrong?" Xu Yunchu asked.
Ye Chang took the words, "Guo Zhang's Mansion was taken to the Heaven Prison at the beginning, and something so serious happened. If he heard the wind, how could he not return to Beijing?"
Xu Yunchu said, "The Guozhang's Mansion has only been in the prison for three days. When the uncle got the news, the Guozhang's Mansion was safe. Naturally, there is no need to come back."
Su Feng Nuan said, "It makes sense."
Ye Chang looked at the secret road and said to Xu Yunchu, "I’m afraid it’s not that simple. The secret road here can illustrate a problem. Digging a secret road here cannot be completed in a day or two. If someone else comes to dig, It's impossible not to make any movement and hide it from your uncle. It can only explain that this secret road, he knows, maybe he agreed or participated in the digging."
Xu Yunchu believed that he had traveled before, but now that the secret road is found here, he naturally thought of other things. He pursed his lips, "Let's go down and see where this secret path leads to."
Ye Chang glanced at Su Fengnuan, and said to Xu Yunchu, "This is now your site. You should stay on it, and I and Nuan will go down."
Su Feng Nuan nodded, "If you are up there, if we have anything, you can take care of us and save us."
Xu Yunchu could only nod his head and exhorted, "Okay, then you should be careful."
