Chapter 152 Investigating the Chunxuan Building
It was dusk and the sky was dark, but Tokyo City was still brightly lit everywhere, especially in many restaurants and brothels, there were endless people and cars, and the sound of orioles and swallows were singing, which was very lively.
In this Tokyo city, if you talk about the prosperity of business, it is the Daxiangguo Temple. If you want to watch a hundred operas and take advantage of the bustling time, you will go to the Sang family's tile. But if someone wants to taste the gentleness, in addition to Fanlou and other famous Jin Caves in the world, Xiaotianshui Lane is also an excellent place to go. In this street and alley, dozens of brothels of all sizes are erected. It is really a gentle hometown and a tomb of heroes.
Chunxuan Tower is a very famous brothel in this little Tianshui Lane. Although it is not an official tram, the owner behind it is also closely related to the big figures in the officialdom. At this time, Lou Shisan, who was welcoming guests, was leading the guests to the building with a smile on his face. Seeing a few more guests coming, he even bent over and smiled forward to greet him. However, after seeing the people's clothes and dressing clearly, the smile on his face froze: "What are you doing, who are you doing?" His tone became a little alert.
Just because everyone came in public uniforms and was the uniform of the Kaifeng Prefecture service, it was Sun Tu who brought Shen Liang and Cui Lue Shang to come. Faced with Lou Shisan's guarded attitude, Cui Lue Shang immediately stepped forward and shouted: "Of course, my head of the house is here for the sake of the main business. You can report it quickly and let the manager in the Lou come out to speak."
"This..." Lou Shisan was in this business and quickly adjusted his mindset. He glanced at Sun Tu and the others and smiled and said with a pity: "Please forgive me, several officials. Today, my business in Chunxuan Building is busy. Master Qi is busy greeting some yamen. I am afraid he won't take time to entertain some of them. Why don't you come later?" As he spoke, he winked at someone, and immediately a subordinate brought a tray containing a few strings of copper coins and came forward: "For those who work here, please don't dislike this feeling."
Sun Tu smiled and swept back and forth between the tray and Lou Shisan, then looked at Cui Lue Shang: "You came here to ask about their attitude?"
"It's almost the same. In the end, I couldn't meet them in charge, so I chatted with a few of the welcome guests." Cui Lue Shang said unhappily.
Sun Tu nodded, then walked forward, took the tray with his hand, and weighed the strings of copper coins on his head: "I will take it away." Just as Lou Shisan smiled and breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that the matter was over, he turned a stern face: "In this way, your Chunxuanlou will have another charge of bribing the imperial officials."
These words made Lou Shisan stunned: "What does this official mean?"
"Don't I understand what I mean? The owner of Chunxuan Building was guilty of collusion with the thief Fan Yanzi, so he tried to use money to buy and bribe the imperial officials. These were physical evidence." Sun Tu said, and had handed the tray and even the money to Cui Lue Shang, and then said: "If the person in charge doesn't come out again, I can only go in and get the people by myself!"
Feeling the intimidating aura from Sun Tu, Lou Shisan was so panicked this time that he kept saying, "Prince, please wait, there must be any misunderstandings in this... I'll go and invite Master Qi out to talk to you." Then he quickly reacted and made a gesture of inviting him: "Several people are invited to sit in and talk."
Seeing that the other party had already shocked, Sun Tu did not make things difficult for him anymore. He immediately nodded and took two subordinates to walk in. This scene fell into the eyes of the other guests looking for pleasure, which made many people feel surprised, and at the same time they were very interested. He wanted to see how the people from Kaifeng Government Office would negotiate with Chunxuanlou behind this background.
However, these people who wanted to watch the fun were disappointed after all. Lou Shisan directly invited several people to a private room on the second floor to isolate the contact with the outside. After several beautiful women brought them food, the door was gently knocked, and a delicate voice came from outside: "But are the officials from Kaifeng Prefecture here? Can I come in?"
After seeing Sun Tu nodding, Cui Lue Shang stepped forward and opened the door. However, after seeing the person standing in front of the door, even he was a little stunned, and then he quickly turned sideways and let him in.
When Sun Tu saw the person coming in, he felt his eyes lit up. This was a woman of 25 or 26 years old, with a gorgeous appearance and charming appearance. Although the dress she wore was very conservative and almost nowhere was exposed, she still covered the other women around her, which was a feminine taste that could attract men's attention. Perhaps only the bright colors of the courtesans Fan Lou could compare this person.
However, Sun Tu was only surprised and did not lose his mind. When the person came to the front, he laughed: "I thought that Mr. Qi was an Angzang man, but I didn't expect that he was a beautiful woman like a girl, but I was disrespectful."
"Master Qi" covered his face with a round fan in his hand and chuckled: "Thank you for your praise, so you can laugh. In fact, my name is Qi Yanyan. Later, because I took care of this Chunxuan Tower, it was rumored to be Master Qi. In fact, I don't like being called like this..."
Although she did not deliberately act coquettishly, the men's bodies were still a little weak. Lou Shisan took the opportunity to retreat and helped them close the door.
Sun Tu looked at the other party with a smile, then clicked the seat in front of him: "So that's it, Mr. Qi, please sit down and talk." It smelled like he was on the verge of being on the side.
Qi Yanyan looked at Sun Tu in surprise. With her experience and confidence, she felt that it would be easy to make a young man who was less than twenty years old and dizzy. Not to mention twenty years old, even a man in his forties or fifties would be different when he saw her. But Sun Tu was not affected at all, which made her feel a little disappointed, but she still sat down obediently.
"I am the head of the capital of Kaifeng Prefecture, Sun Tu. I think you should know why I am here. My Kaifeng Prefecture sent someone to your Chunxuan Tower a few days ago to ask about the matter about the pink swallows." Sun Tu did not make any mistakes and got to the point.
Qi Yanyan had adjusted her mentality at this time and said a little aggrievedly: "Sun Dutou, I naturally know about this. At that time, I was busy with social engagements and did not go to see those servants in person, but what we said was the truth. I, Chunxuan Building, have always been in charge of the business, and the girls in the building voluntarily sold their bodies. How could it be abducted and sold? If you don't believe it, I can make people call all the girls and ask you one by one..."
"It doesn't have to." Sun Tu shook his head, but his eyes were still calm: "But this does not mean that you have nothing to do with that pink swallow."
"Sun Dutou, you are really wronged to death in Chunxuanlou. I don't even know what the pink swallow does, so how could it be that intercourse with them?" When she said this, she was really above the seven emotions, and her grievance was really pity for me.
Even Chen Liang was a little shaken when he saw it. He wanted to say something, but Sun Tu snatched it first: "You mentioned just now that no one in Chunxuanlou was abducted and trafficked, but now he said he didn't know what the Fanyanzi gang was doing. This is really not working."
"Ah..." Qi Yanyan then seemed a little panicked, bit Yanhong's lips, and didn't know what to explain. Sun Tu took the opportunity to shoot out the heaviest piece of chips: "The reason why I came here today is because I have some important evidence. There is a person named Ge Shiqi in your building, who is now in my Kaifeng Prison, and we can confirm that this person is the Pink Swallow."
These words made Qi Yanyan lose her appearance and her delicate body tremble slightly, but she insisted on herself: "Sun Dutou, this person alone can't prove me a Chunxuan Building, right? We have always been responsible..." This look really pitiful, making the man wish he could hold her in his arms and feel so loving and comforting her.
"You can't decide whether you are honest or not." Sun Tu showed a stern heart and didn't even blink: "Just Swallow Thieves are always in your Chunxuan Building, so I can assert that you are one of the thieves' nests. And I believe that as long as you send people to search and interrogate the building, you can always find some evidence. Do you dare to give it a try?"
Qi Yanyan's appearance changed a few times, and finally sighed softly: "I don't know what the officials want me to say?" She was naturally an extremely smart person who could control such a brothel, and immediately heard something from Sun Tu's words. But then, she reminded him again: "But Sun Dutou must know one thing, although my Chunxuan Tower is not under the name of the Jiaofangsi, it has also received the care of many officials in the court..." But she wanted to use the backstage to suppress Sun Tu.
But this time she made the wrong plan, and Sun Tu said calmly: "Do you know who is the fate of this official to investigate the Fan Yanzi case? It is Mr. Yu from the Political Affairs Hall. I think the one who has been taking care of you Chunxuanlou will not be the current official or the Grand Master Cai?"
Speaking of this, Qi Yanyan finally had no idea and had to open her face bitterly and said, "Master Sun Du, please ask."
"Have you ever bought a woman from Fan Yanzi in Chunxuan Tower?"
"some."
"Do you know who they are and where they are hiding now?"
"It's unknown. They have always acted secretly, and they have changed people every time, and they have never even revealed their names. The girls were sent by them. When we give them money, they keep the people."
Sun Tu nodded: "Where are those girls now? Can you find a confrontation?"
