Ji Yuanfu and his son had finally gotten their revenge after killing Hall Master Mei. They were indeed happy for quite a while. Moreover, Long Kong 'er had become a vegetable, so there was no longer any obstacle to Ji Yuchun and Mei Ruxue's marriage. Ji Yuanfu wanted to choose an auspicious day to propose marriage to Madam Mei. Unexpectedly, things did not go as he wished. Butler Hu reported that Long Kong 'er had woken up. When Ji Yuanfu heard this news, he broke out in cold sweat. He was worried that if Long Kong 'er and Mei Kunli found out who was behind the assassination of Hall Master Mei, the Ji Clan would be in big trouble. For a moment, Ji Yuanfu and his son were panic-stricken.
Yoshihara thought about it and realized that the person who tied the bell had to untie it. It was Butler Hu who had contacted Shen Yidao. Now that he was in trouble, he had to look for Butler Hu.
When Butler Hu heard that he was looking for Shen Yidao again, he was puzzled and asked,""Master, he has already killed Owner Mei and completed the transaction. Why are you still looking for him?”
"I didn't expect Long Kong 'er to wake up…If I don't kill him, there will be endless trouble in the future." Ji Yuanfu sighed.”
"If Long Kong 'er doesn't die, my marriage with Mei Ruxue will be over," Ji Yuchun said.”
Butler Hu was unwilling and did not dare to show it. He said shyly,"Old Master, Long Kong Er is an extraordinary person and not an ordinary martial arts expert. I wonder if Shen Yidao will agree to this deal?”
"Shen Yidao once said that there is no one in the world that he cannot kill. Killing is his business, we don't have to worry.”
Housekeeper Hu said," It's fine if he killed Long Kong 'er. If he didn't succeed, he would be sent to Long Kong' er's doorstep instead. If Long Kong 'er captured him and he reported us, then the gains wouldn't make up for the losses."”
Ji Yuanfu hesitated when he heard Butler Hu's words and was momentarily speechless.
Ji Yuchun said,"If we don't kill Long Kong 'er, he will come and investigate us. Sooner or later, he will find out." We might as well strike first."
"Old Master, if you kill Long Kong 'er, it's a dangerous move. You have to think twice.”
Ji Yuanfu lost his usual vigor. His white brows were tightly knitted together as he said in a low voice,""It doesn't matter if I kill him or not.”
Butler Hu said,"Don't be anxious, Master. I have a plan that will benefit both sides."”
Ji Yuanfu became spirited and asked,""Hurry up and tell me."
"If we let Shen Yidao run away, then no one will be able to find us.”
"This plan is very good. Go and tell him immediately."
This time, Ji Yuchun anxiously said,"Father, if I don't kill Long Kong 'er, what about my marriage?"”
"Chun 'er, there are many beautiful women in the world. Why hang yourself on a tree? Let your mother find a few for you to choose.”
Ji Yuchun insisted,"No, I won't marry anyone but her!"”
Ji Yuanfu saw that he was still stubborn and scolded,""Why are you so ignorant!"
Seeing that his father was angry, Ji Yuchun didn't say anything else and turned to leave. Ji Yuanfu gave Butler Hu some instructions, and Butler Hu left the hall.
Butler Hu came to the county town early to look for Shen Yidao. However, this Shen Yidao was erratic and had no fixed residence. It was not that easy to find him. Last time, Butler Hu was found in a brothel called Chunhua Brothel. This time, Butler Hu walked straight to Chunhua Brothel. It turned out that there was a woman in Chunhua Brothel, known as Hong Yu 'er. She was eighteen years old, with a face like a peach blossom, large eyes, and a thousand charms. She was Shen Yidao's lover.
Chunhua Brothel was located at the entrance of a small alley, and there were several brothels inside. Usually, there were not many men who came in to have fun in the morning. At night, the place was brightly lit, people came and went, and the sound of lewd laughter could be heard. Butler Hu had just stepped into the alley when a rouge smell assaulted his nose. At the entrance of Chunhua Brothel stood a woman in a short-sleeved cheongsam. The cheongsam was spread open so high that her sexy thighs were completely exposed. She recognized Housekeeper Hu and quickly walked over to him with her slender waist. She said coquettishly,"Master Hu, it took you so long to come. I missed you so much.”
Butler Hu recognized her. She was a girl from Chunhua Brothel. Ten years ago, she was a famous red card. Now, she was in her thirties and no longer had the grace of the past. Butler Hu walked over with a smile and asked,""Is Hong Yuer here?"
The woman didn't answer. She held his arm and pouted."Don't forget the old one just because you like the new one.”
Butler Hu smiled and said,"Master Hu has something to do today. I'll accompany you next time."”
"You said the same thing last time. You want to stand me up again, right?”
"I really have something to do. Here." As Butler Hu spoke, he took out a few large bills and stuffed them into her hands.
The woman took the ticket and was very happy. She praised,"Master Hu is so generous."
The two women beside him were envious of Butler Hu's generosity.
"Is Hong Yuer here?" Butler Hu asked again.”
"Yes. I was waiting for you."
Butler Hu immediately went upstairs. When he reached a door, he shouted,""Hong Yuer."
Hong Yuer heard someone calling and came out to open the door. When she saw that it was Butler Hu, she said happily,"It's Master Hu. Please come in and sit."
Butler Hu walked into the house. The furnishings in the room were simple. There was a bed, a dressing table, a small table, and four chairs. The whole room was filled with a strong smell of perfume. Butler Hu sat on the chair. After Hong Yuer poured him a cup of tea, she asked softly,""Master Hu, why are you here so early?”
Butler Hu took the teacup and took a small sip. He asked,"Has Shen Yidao been here recently?"
Hong Yuer's face immediately became a little unhappy. She said,"He hasn't been here for almost a month.”
"Oh, what's the reason?"
"I wonder where he went."
"Do you have a way to contact him? I have something very important to discuss with him."
"He roamed the world without a trace. If he didn't look for you, you wouldn't be able to find him.”
"This is so anxious."
"What's the hurry?"
Butler Hu would never tell him those secrets. Seeing that he could not find Shen Yidao, he could only say,""If he comes, tell him that I have something very important to talk to him about.”
"Alright, I'll definitely pass the message."
When Butler Hu walked out of Chunhua Brothel, he happened to see Mei Kunli, Ye Fei, and Liu Dabing walking toward Chunhua Brothel in casual clothes. Housekeeper Hu was afraid that Mei Kunli would recognize him, so he immediately lowered his head and left quickly. Mei Kunli and the others had already secretly searched most of the brothels in this fireworks alley, but they did not find any suspicious people. They only wanted to return to camp after searching Chunhua Brothel. However, the moment Butler Hu lowered his head, Mei Kunli's agility caught his action. Mei Kunli glanced at him and recognized him as Butler Hu. He felt that his actions were suspicious and wanted to find out what was going on. He shouted,"Butler Hu."
Butler Hu pretended not to hear him and continued walking forward.
Mei Kun thought, Why isn't he answering? Are you afraid that I'll recognize you? Could there be another secret? Mei Kunli refused to budge and ran over to shout. At this moment, Butler Hu knew that he could not escape. He turned around and said with a smile,"Ah, it's Young Master Mei. It had been a long time since they last met. He was getting more and more powerful.”
"Butler Hu, you flatter me. We're all old friends, why aren't you answering me?”
"How could I not answer Young Master Mei? I'm old and hard of hearing. I hope Young Master Mei doesn't take offense."
"No, no," Mei Kunli chuckled and said. You're the butler of the rich man and you're famous. You're too humble.”
"Sigh, my wife died early, so I'm too lonely. I'm here to pass the time. Don't make fun of me.”
"I won't laugh, I won't laugh. Everyone has their own needs. It's normal."
"I've been out for a long time. Old Master Ji will blame me, so I'll go first.”
"Take care then."
Mei Kunli saw that Housekeeper Hu had left, so he walked towards Chunhua Brothel. Mei Kunli and the other two were all handsome young men. When they entered the door, a group of flirtatious women thought that they were here to have fun. Like a lioness in heat, they immediately surrounded them and pulled them left and right. They even pressed their bodies against each other. Mei Kunli and the others had never seen such a situation before. They used all their strength to break free. Ye Fei felt that it was fun. His body was very flexible, and he drilled around like a loach. Liu Dabing was tall and his face was flushed red. He was very embarrassed. Mei Kunli saw that they were unwilling to budge and refused to let go. He shouted,"Let go, or I'll beat you up!"
The women were shocked and scattered. The brothel madame was nearly fifty years old, and she must have been a beautiful woman when she was young. She still had her charm, and her face was filled with anger as she said loudly,"Officials, are you here to find trouble?”
"We have something important to do."
The brothel madame laughed mockingly,"Important business? The most important thing here is sex! Sisters, don't you think so?"
All the women giggled and agreed in unison.
Mei Kun took two big strides to stand behind the brothel madame and said sternly,""Don't move, I'll kill you!"
The brothel madame suddenly felt a pistol at her waist. She was so scared that her face turned pale. She immediately changed her words and said,"Lord Official, please spare my life. I didn't recognize Mount Tai.”
Mei Kunli kept his gun and asked,""Answer me honestly. Which woman did Butler Hu go out to look for?”
The brothel madame knew that Butler Hu was the butler of the rich man and couldn't afford to offend him. She wanted to keep it a secret for him and lied,"Sir, I don't know…"
Mei Kunli pointed his pistol at her waist and said,""You're not telling the truth, are you? If I find out, I'll close your shop!”
The brothel madame panicked and whispered,""It's…Hong Yuer."
"Where?"
"Upstairs."
"Bring me there."
The brothel madame brought Mei Kunli and the others to Hong Yuer's room. Hong Yuer was not like other women. She was a little arrogant and never took the initiative to receive guests. The person she didn't like could forget about getting her. The brothel madame knew that she had a lover. She had once seen him beat up several men until their faces were swollen and they knelt down to beg for mercy. Therefore, she respected Hong Yu 'er a little and did not dare to force Hong Yu' er to receive guests. She brought Mei Kunli and the rest to the door of Hong Yuer's room. She called out to Hong Yuer and waited for Hong Yuer to open the door before entering.
Hong Yuer saw the three men and looked at them in fear. The brothel madame said,"These three officials are looking for you." I'll be leaving first."
"Please come in, Sir," said Hong Yuer.
Mei Kunli asked Ye Fei and Liu Dabing to stand at the door. After he walked into the room and sat down, he said,"Hong Yuer, don't be afraid. We are from the People's Liberation Army. I just want to ask you a few questions.”
"Go ahead."
"Why is Butler Hu here?"
"He's looking for someone."
"Who are you looking for?"
Hong Yu 'er stuttered,"Find someone with the surname Shen, Shen Yidao."”
"Why are you looking for him?"
"He didn't say anything. He only said that there was something important.”
"Does Shen Yidao come here often?"
"Once or twice a month."
"Alright, if Shen Yidao comes, report to the People's Liberation Army immediately. Thank you, miss."
Mei Kunli finally obtained some important information and walked out of Chunhua Brothel happily.
