From a son-in-law to a favorite of the empress

Chapter 363

"What? Surround Wanhuafang? Search the brothel?"

The old man of the Fu family got up in shock, kicked away the two young and beautiful concubines, and hurriedly climbed up, staring: "Is Zhou Yuan crazy? Why is he searching a brothel at night!"

The servant whispered: "Master, there are thousands of soldiers and horses, and they have surrounded us. If there were no tunnels, I would not be able to escape."

"This bastard has killed dozens of us. Something big has happened tonight!"

The old man of the Fu family said anxiously: "Why are you panicking! It's very clean over there! What can he find out!"

"Maybe this is our chance to fight back. Hurry up, go and ask the old man of the Yun family to come out in person. We must win this battle!"

While putting on his clothes, the old man of the Fu family's heartbeat accelerated. If Zhou Yuan did this, not only would he not be able to find evidence, but it would also be difficult to explain the dozens of lives.

At that time, he would be able to defeat him and the land survey would be solved.

Zhou Yuan, this madman, is still young after all. He lost his temper and exposed himself.

…

Zhou Yuan looked at this group of brothel girls and knew that he didn't need to ask anything anymore. They had completely given up the variables and just wanted to live like this. No matter how they came, they didn't expect to leave.

Presumably before this, those gang members had done a lot of simulated inspections, but all those who had the courage to stand up and testify were dealt with.

Or, someone once stood up to testify, but the government at that time didn't dare to touch the Yun family, and it ended up in nothing, and the person who testified was naturally tortured to death.

So, in today's situation, no matter how high your official position is, no matter whether you really want to make decisions for them, they dare not stand up.

Liu Fang came hurriedly and said in a deep voice: "General Jie, the situation has been completely controlled. Just as General Jie expected, the brothels on the four streets of Wanhuafang are just skins."

"The square behind these brothels is the real paradise."

Wanhuafang is square, with brothels on all four streets. The interior is a residential area for the common people and a gathering area for gang members.

According to the information provided by the Internal Court, there is a huge "Afang Palace" in this square, which is connected to the major brothels. Those top guests enter through the brothels outside to enjoy the bliss of the world, and of course they spend money like water.

In the talent show thirteen years ago, Yun Xiansheng, as the chief selector of the Central Plains talent show, sent more than 1,800 people to Beijing.

But it is said that the entire Central Plains actually selected 4,600 people!

Where did the remaining 2,800 people go?

These are all virgins with the cleanest backgrounds, the highest quality, and the highest appearance. They are all selected from thousands of miles away in terms of piano, chess, calligraphy, and etiquette and morality!

If there were no more than 2,800 women selected for the imperial selection, how could the so-called Afang Palace be opened?

When seeing such information, Zhou Yuan was dumbfounded.

A real local emperor, it's time to step down.

Zhou Yuan took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "Let's go and see the so-called Afang Palace."

With this name, you can imagine how luxurious it is.

Zhou Yuan and others bypassed the brothel and walked into the Wanhuafang. They went through the alley and found that there was indeed a different world inside.

The interior of the entire Wanhuafang was more than three feet lower than the outside terrain, and a huge palace was embedded in it, which was completely invisible to the outside world.

The palace was not majestic because it was not built high, but it was extremely luxurious, with red walls and jade pillars inlaid with agate, and brothels and beams inlaid with gold and silver. It was really not an exaggeration.

Due to the sudden intrusion of the Fifth Army Camp, the place was in chaos. Men and women screamed and were pressed to the ground by the soldiers.

Thugs rushed out from everywhere, but Zhou Yuan ignored them. The guards around him rushed out automatically and chopped them down with a few knives.

Seeing the blood, these people knew that tonight was really going to be a mess.

Ye Qingying came out from inside, her face was not good, and she said coldly: "We once sacrificed two experienced internal guards to investigate here, and now the facts have proved that their information is accurate."

"The place where we are is called Baixian Hall, which is used for singing and dancing, and the patrons select women."

As she walked forward, she said: "Further ahead is Yaochi Hall, which has semi-independent wing rooms, where you can enjoy dancing and opera while playing with women."

"And these are just the regular performances of this Afang Palace, the highlight is behind."

She kicked the door open and entered a special hall, surrounded by fixed seats, with a performance stage in the middle, which is a huge iron cage.

Ye Qingying gritted her teeth and said, "There are vicious wolves in the backyard of the Afang Palace. This is the place to watch people and beasts fighting."

"Of course, the performers are also women, and the end result is naturally to be torn to pieces alive."

Zhou Yuan narrowed his eyes slightly and did not sayYe Qingying continued to walk forward and came to the same hall. In addition to the orderly arranged chairs, there was only one less iron cage and many more torture instruments. Ye Qingying whispered: "Some women who offended the patrons, as long as the patrons paid, the owner of the Afang Palace would catch the women here and torture them to death in front of everyone." Zhou Yuan saw many strange things, including but not limited to wooden donkeys, long whips, clamps, iron needles, iron shoes and other cruel torture instruments. Ye Qingying said: "Many people are curious and like to spend a lot of money to watch this, listen to screams, watch tragedies, and feel excited and excited."

Zhou Yuan nodded and said: "That's true, so the number of women in Afang Palace has been decreasing, and has it been increasing?"

"Yes, 2,800 beauties, and thousands died in thirteen years."

"They have plenty of channels to replenish, and they can buy them at a high price from the courtesans in brothels all over the country."

"Of course, the cost is extremely high, so they often choose to traffic people."

Zhou Yuan said: "Where are the bodies?"

Ye Qingying said: "Forty miles outside the city, they are buried in the apricot forest. It is said that the apricots there grow well every year."

Zhou Yuan did not answer, but whispered "Are there any other rooms?"

"Of course there are."

Ye Qingying sighed, "In addition to the guest rooms, there are also breeding rooms."

Zhou Yuan frowned and asked in confusion, "What breeding room?"

Ye Qingying said, "Some patrons like toys without hands and feet. If there are such women in Afang Palace, they must be well raised. It is said that the price is ten times that of ordinary women."

Zhou Yuan took a deep breath again, nodded, and said, "There are many similar hunting projects."

Ye Qingying's voice was a little hoarse: "Well... a lot, little junior brother, this is not the human world."

This was the first time she called Zhou Yuan a little junior brother, because she knew that this was the time when she really needed Zhou Yuan's help.

She believed that Zhou Yuan understood what she meant, but she didn't dare to say it because the price was too high.

The status of the Yun family was too special. If they really wanted to kill him, Zhou Yuan's great achievements might not be able to bear it.

The red book and iron certificate, the gold medal of immunity from death, any one of them could easily crush an earl.

Zhou Yuan didn't promise anything. He just patted Ye Qingying on the shoulder and sighed, "Although the handwriting on the newspaper is cold, it is not as intuitive as seeing it with your own eyes!"

"Words make people feel cold in their hearts, but seeing things with your own eyes makes people suffocate and want to vomit."

Ye Qingying said "hmm" softly. At this moment, she was more obedient than ever, and it was rare for her not to sing against Zhou Yuan.

She raised her head, looked at Zhou Yuan, and whispered, "Junior brother, Yun family..."

She didn't finish her words, but tears flowed out.

He wiped it hastily, and then continued: "The Yun family is the mother's family of the Great Jin Dynasty. If they move, the merit of pacifying the Central Plains may not be enough to repay them. The price is too high."

"It's not easy for you to fight in the war. There is no need to give up all your previous efforts and sacrifice yourself."

Zhou Yuan smiled faintly and said: "You overestimate the Yun family and underestimate your majesty."

He no longer mentioned this matter, but frowned and said: "Where are those women? Let's go and see."

Ye Qingying said: "Do you really want to see it?"

Zhou Yuan said: "Tell me the place, I can go by myself."

"Then, then I will go with you!"

Ye Qingying gritted her teeth and took Zhou Yuan to the underground palace on the side, where disabled women were trained.

They did not stay for long, but walked out quickly.

Zhou Yuan stood in the corridor, looking at the moonlight, expressionless.

Ye Qingying was bending over and vomiting beside the flower bed in the distance.

Li Yu'an walked silently to Zhou Yuan's side and said softly: "I didn't expect that there is such an inhuman place."

"There is no war here, but it is more like hell than Funiu Mountain."

Zhou Yuan sighed helplessly and smiled bitterly.

Li Yu'an said: "Actually... I have been exposed to more such things than you. After all, I am the Holy Mother of the Wusheng Sect, and I always hear about the extravagance of nobles from various channels."

"This is not the first time I have seen such things."

"This is part of the world. Even if it is dirty and dark, it cannot be denied that it exists."

Zhou Yuan laughed and sighed: "Yes, it exists, it is part of the world."

"But I won't allow it."

"The world shouldn't be like this."

Zhou Yuan looked up at the moon, and the bright moonlight illuminated the dark night.
