It was night…
It was pitch black in the capital. Every household closed their doors and windows and entered their dreams.
However, the streets of the capital were brightly lit and bustling with activity.
The entire street was ten miles long.
The streets were bustling with people, and people in gorgeous clothes were walking. Small vendors were shouting with all their might.
On both sides of the street, seductive women in thin clothes were trying their best to attract customers with their handkerchief.
"Are you sure that Jia She will be at the Moon Pavilion tonight?”
Yuan Ye brought a few servants to the entrance of the Moon Pavilion and asked Yuan Yi, who was in charge of investigating.
"Yes, Master. After you gave the order, I brought people to monitor all the doors in Rong Mansion.
I saw Jia She enter with my own eyes.”
Ape One promised Ape Ye.
"Alright, let's go in."
Yuan Ye took a deep breath and walked inside.
This was Yuan Ye's first time entering a brothel.
He felt a little uneasy.
And this Moon Pavilion was known as the number one brothel in the capital.
There were countless beauties inside, and the beauty of the courtesan was famous throughout the Dayu Dynasty.
"Yo! Sir, you look unfamiliar.
It was his first time here.
Is there a girl you like?"
The moment Yuan Ye and his men entered the room, they were confident that the ladies and the brothel madame would notice them.
The brothel madame swayed her plump body and walked towards Yuan Ye.
He held a fan in his hand and covered his mouth as he asked Yuan Ye seductively.
"Tell me, where is Jia She?"
Yuan Ye took out a piece of silver worth ten taels and asked the Madame.
"Oh, Master, you're here to look for the First Master of Rong Mansion.
Now that the Grand Elder was still so happy, ten taels of silver might not be enough.”
Hearing Yuan Ye's words, the Madame instantly understood.
However, he didn't take the silver. Instead, he said to Yuan Ye.
"Jia She is in your Moon Pavilion. Ten taels of silver is not enough to buy which room he is in, right?”
Yuan Ye took the silver back and said with a cold face.
"Ah?"
"Ah, right, it's not enough."
The brothel madame was stunned for a moment and then said.
"Alright, it's not enough, right?
Sure."
"Yuan Yi, let's go."
Yuan Ye nodded and left without hesitation.
The Madame was dumbfounded.
What she meant was that Jia She was drinking wine in the private room. If you give me another ten taels, I will bring you over.
For a moment, the brothel madame, who had missed out on the ten taels for nothing, felt her heart ache.
…
"Master, are we leaving just like that?”
Yuan Yi asked Yuan Ye after leaving the Moon Pavilion.
"Who is the force behind this Moon Pavilion?”
Yuan Ye didn't answer Yuan Yi's question but asked him instead.
"It's the Prince of Dongping, Mu Lei."
Ape One replied.
Yuan Ye didn't know about this. After all, he had just come to the capital and had never been here before.
However, Yuan Yi knew that his family used to be an official's family. They only became slaves after they committed a crime.
"Yes! Prince of Dongping, four eight dukes and twelve marquises.
Now, only the four Commandery Princes with different surnames had preserved their strength.
As for the other eight dukes, Duke Rong of the Jia family and Duke Ning of the Ning family were the leaders of the eight dukes. Although they were no longer able to do so, the other six families 'titles were not much better.
As for the twelve marquises…they had long lost their titles.”
"Alright, we'll start with Dongping Junwang tonight.”
Yuan Ye walked out with his hands behind his back.
He muttered to himself as he analyzed the situation.
These four eight dukes and twelve marquises belonged to the Xungui Group.
Although they couldn't be like the four families of Jinling, they had at least been friends for generations.
When Jia Yuanchun was conferred the title of Consort Xiande, the four kings with different surnames, the other six dukes, and marquises had all gone.
Only Lin Ruhai did not go.
Prince Beijing was there on the last day of Yuan Ye's visit.
Prince Beijing had the closest relationship with the Jia family among the four kings, and was also the most powerful family among the four kings.
The eight dukes had more or less been demoted.
Only the four kings were still standing firm.
"Master, are we going home now?”
Yuan Yi couldn't hear Yuan Ye's muttering, so he carefully followed behind Yuan Ye and asked.
"No, we'll go straight to Shuntian Prefecture."
Yuan Ye said with his hands behind his back.
" Shun…Shuntian Prefecture!!!"
Yuan Yi was shocked when he heard that.
Why would he go to Shuntian Prefecture in the middle of the night?
The Shuntian Prefect was probably asleep by now.
This Shuntian prefect had the same position as the Yingtian prefect, but the Shuntian prefect managed the capital. His position was one rank higher than all the Yingtian prefects.
At the same time, it was also the most difficult thing to do.
After all, there were too many dignitaries in the capital.
Many of them were people that the Shuntian Prefect could not afford to offend.
……
Just like that, Yuan Ye sprinted all the way to Shuntian Prefecture.
"What are you guys doing?"
When they reached the entrance of Shuntian Prefecture, they were stopped by the bailiffs on duty.
"You scared your dog eyes. This is the assistant minister of the Ministry of Works, Lord Yuan Ye.”
Yuan Ye didn't say anything. Yuan Yi jumped out and pointed at the bailiffs who stopped him.
"What? Yuan…Yuan Ye?"
One of the bailiffs was shocked.
He was a well-known lunatic in Beijing.
Why did he come to Shuntian Prefecture in the middle of the night?
"Pa!"
"Did you call him by his name?"
Yuan Yi was now using the power of a fox to intimidate a tiger. He directly slapped the face of the bailiff and shouted loudly.
"Yes, I was wrong."
"Greetings, Milord."
The bailiff who was beaten up did not have the slightest temper. He directly knelt down and admitted his mistake.
"Where's the Shuntian Prefect?"
Yuan Ye said indifferently.
"In…in the backyard."
The bailiff said with a trembling voice.
This backyard belonged to the Shuntian Prefect's family.
One had to stay in the residence at all times to take up a post here.
If someone reported the case, it could be dealt with in time.
In other words, it was a unit dormitory, but this dormitory belonged solely to the Shuntian Prefect.
"Lead the way," said Yuan Ye.
"Yes."
The bailiff hurriedly got up and ran to lead Yuan Ye.
Yuan Yi and the other servants hurriedly followed behind.
After arriving at the backyard, the servants patrolled around and the maidservants guarded the doors.
"Where is the master?"
The bailiff grabbed a servant girl and asked.
"I spent the night with Fifth Concubine."
The little servant girl replied in confusion.
"Lead the way."
The bailiff said.
"Ah?"
"That can't be. Master is probably busy now.
If we disturb Master, he will blame us.”
The servant girl said in fear.
"This…"
The bailiff understood immediately.
Then, he turned to look at Yuan Ye awkwardly.
"Lead the way."
Yuan Ye narrowed his eyes and said.
"Yes, sir!"
Helpless, the bailiff could only agree to let the servant girl lead the way.
Who asked Yuan Ye to be a rank four assistant minister, a whole rank higher than Shuntian Prefecture Magistrate.
Now that Yuan Ye had come, it could only be said that the Shuntian Prefect was unlucky.
Now, the bailiff could only hope that Yuan Ye did not go too far.
Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to escape.
