The Jinyiwei were a little confused when they saw the three words "Xiao Qing Lou". As far as they knew, Xiao Qing Lou was a men's brothel.
Kan Chaoyan and Deng Chaoxing's faces instantly turned black. They had never expected that Mu Nanjin would invite them to Xiaoqinglou for dinner.
Mu Nanjin ignored their expressions and happily went into the building to find the madam to entertain the guests.
Kan Chaoyan and Deng Chaoxing were left looking at each other in bewilderment.
Tang Jingrui frowned and asked Captain Liu, "She said she wanted to treat us to a meal, but didn't you ask where we were going to eat?"
Captain Liu felt a headache: "We thought that there were no other places to eat besides the restaurant, so we didn't ask her. Who knew she would be so bold as to bring so many of us here... to have sex with prostitutes."
I almost didn't have the face to say the last two words.
Tang Jingrui was furious: "Now that everyone is wearing official uniforms and there are so many people watching us, how are we going to explain our behavior? Should we tell them that we are here to close down the brothel?"
He dared to say that if they did so, Mu Nanjin would definitely turn against them and might even do something terrible.
Captain Liu rubbed his face and said, "How about we turn around and leave?"
Tang Jingrui said nothing.
Kan Chaoyan disagreed: "No, this will offend Mu Yatou."
"This doesn't work, and that doesn't work either. So what should we do?"
Kan Chaoyan: “…”
Deng Xingchao held his forehead with his hand: "If I had known, I would not have agreed to her."
If they entered Xiaoqing Tower tonight, he dared to say that the censor would report the matter to the emperor early tomorrow morning.
By then, all the civil and military officials in the court would know that the Jinyiwei had gone to Xiaoqinglou to visit prostitutes.
At this time, the sounds of horse hooves and wheels were heard in the distance. The Jinyiwei looked forward and saw dozens of carriages driving towards them, and then stopped at the gate of Xiaoqing Tower.
Then they saw a group of civil servants in official uniforms getting off the car.
The Jinyiwei took a closer look and found that this group of civil servants were actually from the Ministry of Rites, followed by several officials from the Dali Temple and the Censorate.
The Minister of Rites and his men were stunned when they saw thousands of Jinyiwei.
Kan Chaoyan laughed: "The Minister of Rites is here too."
It has to be said that Mu Nanjin is quite resourceful, as he was able to trick even the Minister of Rites, who always pays great attention to etiquette.
The Minister of Rites stepped forward and asked, "Are Lord Kan and Lord Deng here to investigate the case?"
Kan Chaoyan looked at Xiao Qinglou meaningfully and said, "We are here to eat, too."
The Minister of Rites looked at him in surprise: "So many people?"
It was the first time for them to see so many Jinyiwei coming out for dinner.
"Aren't there so many of you? I see everyone from the entire Ministry of Rites is here."
The Minister of Rites nodded: "Indeed, they are all here."
The Right Vice Minister of the Ministry of Rites said he wanted to invite them to dinner, so how could they not come? Of course, they were not just there to eat, but they were mainly curious about why Mu Nanjin was looking for the Right Vice Minister of the Ministry of Rites.
But the Right Vice Minister of Rites insisted on waiting until dinner time, so they all came.
Kan Chaoyan smiled happily: "With you guys here, I can eat more peacefully."
How could they not feel at ease if someone would accompany them to be scolded tomorrow and share the emperor's anger with them? Deng Xingchao burst into laughter.
"Rest assured?" The Minister of Rites was confused.
Then, someone pulled the sleeve of the Minister of Rites and said, "Mr. Minister, look quickly."
The Minister of Rites looked back at the official who was pulling his sleeve and asked in confusion, "What are you looking at?"
Yuanwailang pointed in the direction of Xiaoqing Tower.
The Minister of Rites turned around and looked, and it took him a long time to realize that this was a brothel.
He immediately became furious: "Zhou Shiren."
Before the Minister of Rites could start scolding, the madam of Xiaoqinglou came out with six singing girls, smiling: "My lords, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting."
When she saw so many people outside the door, she and the singers were stunned.
When someone was sent to inform her this morning, they only said that a group of officials were coming to play, but they didn't say that so many people were coming.
No wonder she had to prepare food and drinks for thousands of people, and even specially transfer people and cooks from other brothels to help.
The Minister of Rites wanted to turn around and leave, but the Right Vice Minister of Rites grabbed his sleeve and whispered in his ear: "Mu Nanjin said that if we don't go in, she will make public the scandals of everyone in the Ministry of Rites, including the mistakes we made in private."
In fact, Mu Nanjin did not say that. She just said that as long as he could find a way to trick the people from the Ministry of Rites into Xiaoqinglou, he could choose one of the three brothels to have fun once a month for free, and she would pay for all the drinks, but he was only allowed to bring three people.
This was a great thing for a man who only lived on a monthly salary but liked to visit brothels, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and trick people over.
The Minister of Rites suddenly frowned: "How dare she threaten us?"
The Right Vice Minister of Rites did not say anything, but he knew that the Minister of Rites would definitely go in, because the Minister of Rites had made a mistake in his early years and he certainly did not want anyone to know about it.
The Minister of Rites looked at Kan Chaoyan and finally understood why Kan Chaoyan said that he could eat peacefully with them around.
Now he wants to return these words to them. With the Jinyiwei around, they can feel at ease.
The Minister of Rites snorted angrily, flicked his sleeves and walked into Xiaoqing Tower.
Captain Liu opened his mouth in surprise: "People from the Ministry of Rites really went in? Then should we go in?"
Chen Liang said forcefully: "Even the Ministry of Rites dared to go in, how can we, the Jinyiwei, be cowardly?"
Captain Liu: “…”
Kan Chaoyan turned around and said to them: "Of course we are not afraid to go in. After we go in, the most important thing for you to do is one thing."
Deng Xingchao asked: "What's the matter?"
"Get Mu Nanjin drunk."
Tang Jingrui: “…”
"With so many of us, we can definitely knock her out with one glass each, and then we can ask her some questions."
Deng Xingchao gave Kan Chaoyan a thumbs up and said, "You are really insidious. No wonder the governor likes you the most."
Kan Chaoyan rolled his eyes at him.
Captain Liu hesitated: "She is so powerful, if she can drink a thousand cups without getting drunk, can we defeat her?"
Kan Chaoyan said: "One cup per person doesn't work, then two or three cups per person, and she will always get drunk."
Captain Liu: “…”
That’s really cruel.
Kan Chaoyan jumped off his horse and said, "Everyone get off your horses and go in to eat."
"yes."
All the Jinyiwei dismounted from their horses and followed Kan Chaoyan and the others into Xiaoqing Tower.
"Welcome, welcome to the presence of all the lords, welcome to the presence of all the lords——"
The madam was a shrewd person. She knew that Mu Nanjin brought so many adults to dinner because she wanted everyone to know that Xiao Qinglou had someone backing them, and that the affairs of the prince had not affected them.
So she deliberately raised her voice and shouted so that everyone around her could hear her.
The people passing by were all dumbfounded.
They thought that the Jinyiwei came here to seal off Xiaoqing Tower.
But I didn't expect that these adults came here to visit prostitutes, and they came in groups. The scene was really spectacular.
