Chapter 207 Call out the ghost and ask a question

Although Honglu County is small, it has everything.

Chen Chunxing had never realized before that there was a brothel in the city.

The two-story building in front of you, made of blue bricks and black tiles, has simple carvings and is full of charm. Judging from its appearance alone, it looks only slightly old and is out of tune with the dilapidated surroundings.

If someone hadn't told her in advance that this was a brothel, she would never have imagined it.

Step into it.

Seven or eight yamen runners were interrogating a suspect from Gan.

The bluestone paved floor showed signs of being washed, and the black and red colors were still visible between the water stains, indicating that it had been cleaned.

There was no concept of scene protection in ancient times. Even if Xue Yongan wanted to, there was no surveillance to check and no fingerprints to verify. At most, he could observe footprints and other signs of fighting.

After walking back and forth in the brothel, he could know everything.

Keeping those traces will only shake the morale of the army.

Even though all the people at the scene were young men, there weren't many who could actually face the corpses scattered all over the ground...

Seeing County Magistrate Xue coming back with a little girl following behind him, the yamen runners were stunned at first, and then they rushed to get in front of Chen Chunxing.

"Hurry up and block it, don't dirty Miss Shen's eyes!"

Apart from the corpse covered with white cloth, there were many men and women in disheveled clothes squatting in the corner.

Chen Chunxing had wanted to ask this before, how could she be sure that this place was a brothel? She had passed by the door several times before and always thought it was just an inn or a restaurant. She had never seen a woman covered in makeup coming out to solicit business.

Now seeing this scene that is comparable to a crackdown on pornography, what else is there to be confused about?

Hearing the noise below, someone leaned out from an empty room on the second floor and looked down at the little girl who suddenly appeared.

Chen Chunxing felt that gaze, tilted his neck slightly, and narrowed his eyes.

This Master Chu was really born with a good-looking face. His facial features were deep but not stiff. His pair of peach blossom eyes seemed to be able to charm people. His slanted eyes showed a bit of casualness that looked down on the world, which completely got rid of the embarrassment of a boy with a feminine appearance.

Chen Chunxing sighed softly in his heart.

She has always liked tough types, but when she meets a beauty like this, she can't help but want to take a few more glances.

"Wait for me here for a moment." Xue Yongan took a step forward to block the girl's sight.

Chen Chunxing really wanted to laugh at this jealous little man, but he also knew the situation.

She pulled a handkerchief from her sleeve and covered her mouth and nose with it. Her eyebrows knitted slightly, and she whispered uncomfortably, "The smell of blood is too strong here. I'd better go to the patio and wait for you."

Xue Yongan nodded and glanced at the yamen runner beside him.

The other party immediately understood: "Don't worry, sir, the courtyard is clean. With us here, we will never let any scoundrels disturb Miss Shen!"

But I couldn't help but grumble in my heart.

Since you know it's a murder scene, why did you bring Miss Shen here? After coming here, you just leave her alone... It's really strange.

But no one dared to ask.

The only one who was brave enough waited for Xue Yongan to go upstairs, then walked straight back into the house, as if he didn't care about the girl's arrival at all.

Chen Chunxing secretly curled his lips, cast a grateful look at the yamen runner, and walked slowly into the courtyard.

Until there was no one around.

She waved the handkerchief impatiently and muttered in disgust: "Although I know you died miserably, you don't have to work so hard, right?"

The female ghost following Shen Chunxing sobbed when she heard this.

There was a huge hole in her throat, her head was cut into three pieces, and her body was covered with bulging lumps.

It's scary to look at.

If its true form had just been revealed, it would have scared a few people to death on the spot.

Finding that the female ghost seemed unable to cry out, Chen Chunxing waved his hand helplessly, and a wisp of green smoke floated out from the token.

As soon as the female ghost saw the smoke, she stopped crying. Desire was revealed in her scarlet eyes, and she instinctively reached out to catch it.

The green smoke swirled around the ghost girl's fingers and went up, circling around her body before completely penetrating into her five orifices.

After a few breaths.

The cracks on the female ghost's body completely disappeared. She opened her mouth with joy, and the first words she said surprised Chen Chunxing a little.

"Damn it, I'm suffocating to death!"

"?"

What a rough voice.

The ghost girl was also frightened, with a look of surprise on her face: "How did my voice return? If I had known there would be such a benefit after death..."

The female ghost glanced at Chen Chunxing stealthily, and added the rest of the words with a wry smile.

"Then I'd better die later."

“…”

Chen Chunxing hesitated for a moment, his eyes involuntarily swept across the ghost girl's Adam's apple, and then moved quietly down.

hiss……

No wonder she felt something was wrong when she looked at his fate just now.

How could he appear neither male nor female? Could it be that sex reassignment surgery was also performed in ancient times...

The little girl racked her brains but couldn't figure it out.

After death, everything returns to dust. As long as one practices properly, the defects left over from life can be completely compensated.

She just saw that the female ghost's soul was dissipating, which did not seem like a normal death, so she borrowed a little strength to repair her soul.

Now it seems that there are more accidents.

"Ghost girl," no, let's call her a brothel owner for now. He didn't let Chen Chunxing suffer for long, as he knelt down and introduced himself: "I thank you for your grace in giving me a new life! If it weren't for your grace, I'm afraid I would be a eunuch in my next life!"

Chen Chunxing raised his eyebrows and suddenly realized.

But after realizing it, I couldn't help laughing.

She coughed lightly with a strange expression: "Eunuch? Can a eunuch open a brothel and become a madam? How come you are so talented..."

The last sentence is a sincere admiration.

The madam thought it was a joke and shyly lifted her skirt, saying in a gruff voice, "I don't want to do these things either, but when you live in this world, you have no control over your own fate. You can't even choose how you die."

The man looked to be in his thirties, with an oval face the size of a palm, powdered eyebrows, and a little red lips. Although there were a few wrinkles at the corners of his eyes, he still had charm.

However, when he changed into a bold voice, Chen Chunxing felt out of place.

She calmed herself down, sat down by the well, raised her hand towards the male ghost, and motioned him to continue.

"Your Excellency should have guessed it. Since I am a eunuch, I have certainly been to the palace."

If he hadn't died, any other court official would not be as calm as he is now if he were to interrogate him. But since he is facing the Lord Ghost Messenger, there is nothing he can't say.

Especially those who are burdened with sins, always think that it would be best to pass on some of the blame so that they can have a good place to be reborn in the next life.

Thinking of this, the madam didn't care whether Chen Chunxing knew the inside story or not, and told him everything she knew.

"This place looks like a brothel, but it's actually Prince Li's intelligence station. I'm from the prince's palace."

"Earlier, Lord Xue destroyed the Jichang Pharmacy's hideout and then conducted a large-scale search throughout the city. The higher-ups ordered us to find an opportunity to retreat."

"Who would have thought that before he could find the right opportunity, Lord Xue would go on a killing spree outside the city gates, repeatedly provoking Prince Li's residence."

The madam had lived in the county town for a long time and had heard that there was an extraordinary maid in the county magistrate's mansion. How could she not guess Chen Chunxing's identity?

Now that he looked normal, I dared to continue.
