"Are you sure? Is it really Madam?" Ji Bochang asked nervously.

The servant replied, "I didn't see the madam... but her carriage has arrived, and so have all the servants from the household!"

"Oh my god!"

Ji Bochang pushed aside the woman beside him, quickly stood up, and said to Zhao Yong in a flustered manner, "Brother Zhao, please wait a moment. My wife might be coming. I need to go and deal with her..."

After saying that, Ji Bochang hurriedly left the private room and went downstairs.

......

Jiang Ming arrived at the prefectural governor's residence by carriage.

They even went to the brothel, Zui Feng Ge, by carriage...

Jin Feng thoughtfully offered her 'private carriage' to Jiang Ming, so... when the servants of the prefectural governor's mansion saw the lady's precious carriage and the household servants, they assumed that the lady had arrived.

"I've been eagerly awaiting your arrival, Madam. I'm here with Lord Zhao for a drink, to fulfill my duty as host... Since Lord Zhao has come, I couldn't very well refuse! After all, Jin is a powerful state..."

Ji Bochang came to the carriage and bowed deeply in greeting.

He was also cunning, deliberately avoiding Zhao Yong and shifting all the blame onto Zhao Yong.

The carriage curtain was lifted, revealing Jiang Ming's wicked grin.

"Your Excellency, it is I!"

Jiang Ming said with a smile, "Madam is studying poetry at home... I wrote her more than a dozen poems, and she wants to carefully study and appreciate them. I heard that you and Lord Zhao Yong went out for a good time, but you didn't take me with you. This... isn't quite appropriate?"

"Oh dear!"

Ji Bochang quickly stepped forward and warmly grasped Jiang Ming's hand: "So it's Mr. Jiang! You really scared me to death! It's not that I don't call you 'Mr.,' it's just that Madam's situation... it's a long story! Madam doesn't know I'm here, does she?"

She didn't know...

Jiang Ming smiled and said, "I just heard that the Prefect and Lord Zhao came out to inspect the nighttime situation in Dukang County and have some food and wine... Please rest assured, my lord, I have already calculated that Madam will not cause you any trouble tonight!"

"Oh dear!"

Ji Bochang held Jiang Ming's hand tightly, his gratitude beyond measure: "With Mr. Jiang by my side, I can strategize and win battles from afar. My life is completely different now. I can see things clearly now... I am so grateful to Mr. Jiang."

"Your Excellency, when you go out for some fun again, you can't leave me behind... As for the lady, I have my own plan!"

"Oh! Thank you so much! You should have said so sooner! If I had known earlier... I wouldn't have been so anxious and worried! Come here!"

Ji Bochang pulled Jiang Ming's hand and entered the main hall of Zuifeng Pavilion. He shouted to everyone upstairs and downstairs, "I'm booking the whole place tonight, and it's on me! Anyone who obeys me will be a prostitute! Anyone who defies me will be a patron! Let's get this party started!"

"Oh, great! Great! Oh, oh! Hooray!"

"Your Excellency the Prefect is truly mighty!"

......

The pimps at Zuifeng Pavilion immediately started organizing a large-scale performance, with all the girls and boys coming out, and the atmosphere was just like a bar or nightclub.

In fact, brothels were not simply places that provided special services, as people imagine.

That kind of place is called a brothel.

Brothels are mostly for showcasing talents, eating, drinking, and having fun. And then... if you're willing to pay a high price, you can go upstairs with a top courtesan to study software hardening engineering!

In short, this place is for having fun, and naturally there are some professional actors too!

Ji Bochang led Jiang Ming upstairs to continue eating, drinking, chatting, bragging, and watching the performance with Zhao Yong.

In another secluded private room on the second floor of Zuifeng Pavilion, Dong Shan was having a private conversation with a mysterious man...

The leather-collecting team had not returned to report, which greatly annoyed Dong Shan. He sent out another group of people, but there was still no news by now.

"Young Master Dong..." the mysterious man said, "What? Haven't the men who collected the wolf pelts returned yet?"

"Tsk! Cough! Damn it!"

Dong Shan sighed, gritting his teeth and muttering to himself, "This is truly bizarre..."

"Young Master Luo, don't worry! I'll be back soon, and I promise I won't delay the delivery tomorrow!"

"Okay! I can't afford to make any mistakes this time. The money... I've already given it to you."

"I know, I know, don't worry, there won't be any problems this time!"

......

Dong Shan repeatedly assured the man called Young Master Luo.

Young Master Luo shuffled to the window, slightly pried open a crack, and peered at the lively scene outside.

"Your Excellency seems to be in a good mood tonight. May I ask which distinguished guest you are entertaining?"

"Special envoy from the State of Jin, Lord Zhao Yong!"

"No, no, no!"

Young Master Luo pondered for a moment and said, "Lord Zhao has already gone in, and now another young man has come... He looks quite familiar, but I can't remember who he is."

"Oh? Who could it be?"

"Oh dear! Look at me, the more I think, the less I remember. I feel like I've seen it before in the State of Jin..."

"Is he perhaps one of Lord Zhao's attendants?"

"How is that possible?"

Young Master Luo said, "The way the Prefect treated him was even more exciting and grand than the way he treated Lord Zhao Yong."

"Could he be a prince of Jin?"
