Chapter 555: My Little Husband Is a Vegetarian
The two went to the opposite teahouse and sat down in a small private room on the second floor. The view here was great and it was cool.
Through the open windows of the private room, they could see the second floor of the brothel opposite.
Even though it was broad daylight, there were many people inside.
The girls were dressed to the nines, twisting their waists and rubbing themselves against the rough men, sweeping the handkerchiefs in their hands.
It made those men smile from ear to ear.
They had completely forgotten that their wives were waiting for them at home.
Ji Yunshu sneered and withdrew her gaze. Just then, the waiter served a pot of tea.
"Young Masters, you two are unfamiliar faces. Are you foreigners?" The waiter asked.
"We're here to visit our relatives." Ji Yunshu replied.
"I knew it. There are very few foreigners in Yufu County. Most of them are from our county. There's no one I don't know."
How proud!
Jing Rong snorted lightly and kept a straight face.
However, Ji Yunshu thought for a while and asked the waiter amiably, "Young Master, don't lie to me. You know everyone? How is that possible? “
The waiter hurriedly said, "I'm not deceiving you. I know everyone in Yufu County. I know their names like the back of my hand."
"I think you're bragging." Ji Yunshu said casually, but her lips secretly curved as if she was throwing bait.
Jing Rong, who was sitting opposite, heard her and was curious.
What was this woman up to?
The waiter was excited when he heard her say that he was bragging.
"Young Master, if you don't believe me, you can point to anyone and I can tell you a thing or two."
He took the bait.
"Really?"
"Of course."
Ji Yunshu pretended to be deep in thought and asked, "I heard that there's a famous Young Master Qiao in Yufu County. Tell me about him and see if it's true."
The waiter was stunned for a moment. He looked at the brothel opposite and moved his mouth, but he didn't say a word.
Ji Yunshu smiled and goaded him, "I told you, you're just bragging. But it doesn't matter if you can't tell me. After all, there are so many people in Yufu County."
Oh my!
"Isn't it the Young Master Qiao? Who doesn't know that? " "The Qiao Family is a wealthy family. A few years ago, they produced a Minister of the Ministry of Personnel called Qiao Zheng, but it seems that he recently resigned and is preparing to return to Yufu County to become the Provincial Magistrate. The Qiao Family has produced many high-ranking officials over the past few generations, so they are very prestigious in Yufu County. No one dares to offend them, but the First Young Master of the Qiao Family is a disappointment. He's a lecher, ignorant and incompetent, and often goes drinking with prostitutes. Once he drinks too much, he'll go crazy. The Qiao Family doesn't know why, but they just ignore him. After all, he only has one son. Anyway, he married a bunch of wives and concubines, but he still can't control his temper. Oh right, three years ago, he caused a death in the brothel opposite. A singer died in the room. At that time, it was said that First Young Master Qiao did it, but in the end, it was found that the victim committed suicide."
Ji Yunshu listened attentively and made a sound of acknowledgment. She asked, "I've heard a little about this case, but the brothel opposite is called 'House of Zhichun'. Didn't they say that the victim died in House of Spring?"
"You don't know about this, do you? Because of the death, the brothel opposite was closed for a whole year. It only reopened two years ago and changed its name to 'House of Zhichun'. "
"I see."
"But the singer's death was also tragic. After she died, she left behind a son and an old mother. Her mother went to the Qiao Residence every day to cause trouble, and even poisoned their well. She insisted that First Young Master Qiao killed her. Although First Young Master Qiao likes to drink, he doesn't dare to kill because he's a coward."
"Coward?"
"That's right. He's as timid as a mouse. Everyone knows that, so no one believes that he would kill someone. Moreover, the yamen has already proven his innocence. It's been three years since that incident, and very few people talk about it now. The Qiao Family is very powerful. If it weren't for the fact that you're foreigners, I wouldn't have told you about it. But don't spread this matter around. If it gets out, I won't have a good ending."
If the Qiao Family pursued the matter, it would be fatal.
Ji Yunshu fished out a silver ingot and gave it to him. "Alright, you've said so much. I don't know if it's true or not. Don't worry, we won't spread it."
The waiter accepted the silver ingot and beamed. "Many thanks, Young Master. I'll bring you a pot of good tea."
He left cheerfully.
Jing Rong finally understood the situation.
Holding the teacup in his hand, he said, "You already knew that the surnamed Qiao would go to the opposite brothel, so you purposely came here to ask around."
"You can say that. Actually, I had already sent Zi Jin to investigate last night and found out that the place that Eldest Young Master Qiao usually likes to hang out the most is that brothel opposite. Hence, I had come here earlier to wait for him. Perhaps, I might even be able to find something related to the case."
Huh?
Jing Rong didn't understand. "This Prince doesn't quite understand."
Ji Yunshu said, "Your Highness, do you still remember the murder case of Miss Zhou?"
"I do. What's the relationship between the two?"
"I've said it before. If you want to know who the murderer is, you must know why the victim was killed. Conversely, it's the same principle. If you've already identified the murderer, you must understand all the habits of the murderer and his motive for killing. "
"Why don't you just open the coffin and examine the corpse? Perhaps, the evidence will come faster."
"I've thought about it, but now is not the time. After I understand what kind of person Young Master Qiao is, opening the coffin and examining the corpse will be the best time."
Jing Rong somewhat understood.
As he spoke, he heard a voice from below. "Oh, Young Master Qiao is here."
It was a woman's enchanting voice.
Hearing this, both of them looked down and saw a tall man dressed in a black robe with a peach blossom smile on his face. Then, he was pulled into the brothel by a girl.
This person was Young Master Qiao.
Jing Rong turned to her and said, "Don't you want to know more about him? Only by getting closer will you understand more. "
Before Ji Yunshu could react, she was already pulled up. Jing Rong took out an ingot of silver and placed it on the table. Then, he wrapped his arm around her slender waist. With a light tap of his feet, the two of them jumped out of the window.
They landed steadily on the ground.
The people below were startled.
Ji Yunshu's feet had just touched the ground when she was pulled into the brothel again.
The rouge and cosmetics immediately rushed towards the two of them.
"Is this the first time you two young masters have come?"
"Look at this little brother. He's so handsome."
"Young Master, this servant is good. I'll definitely satisfy you."
…
Ji Yunshu was sure that he was going to take revenge this time for the scam she gave him at the House of Serenity.
Jing Rong's cold eyes swept across the area. The girls around him were so scared that they didn't dare to approach him. He reached out and pulled Ji Yunshu, who was surrounded, to his chest.
He hooked Ji Yunshu's chin with a smirk on his face.
