9. Chapter 9 The Plague God is Coming



"I should have given the reward to Master instead of her. Let's see how she can waste money."

Tang Jingrui felt extremely regretful. He had never expected Mu Nanjin to become so bold as to go to a brothel.

However, it was not the business hours of Xiaoqinglou. The courtyard outside the gate was deserted and the house was quiet. Mu Nanjin stood outside the door and stared for half a cup of tea, but no one came to open the door.

"What a bummer."

Mu Nanjin turned around and went to the big pharmacy at the intersection across the street. He spent two hours inside and bought a lot of medicinal materials. In the end, he only had one or two taels of silver left in his hand.

But her mood became even worse. She wanted to visit a brothel just now but it was closed. Now it was open but she had no money. She felt depressed.

"Shopkeeper, please deliver the herbs to the residence of Tang Wenzong, the Deputy Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, and say that they were bought by Mu Nanjin."

"Okay." The shopkeeper responded happily.

Mu Nanjin left the pharmacy with a tael of silver in his hand and came to the outside of Qingxiao Tower. When he saw someone coming in, he gave a tael of silver and stopped.

It wasn't that she had to go in, she just wanted to have some fun because the ancient times were too boring.

How about she go to the gambling house and turn one tael of silver into ten thousand taels?

At this time, a middle-aged man walked out of the building. When he saw Mu Nanjin standing outside, his face suddenly changed. He quickly covered his face with his sleeves and ran back to his companions.

"Mu Nanjin, Mu Nanjin is outside."

The companions who were laughing and joking just a moment ago suddenly became panicked after hearing the name "Mu Nanjin" and they jumped up quickly.

"Where is she? Has she come in?"

"Why is this plague god here?"

"Let's hide quickly, otherwise the whole court will know that we have come to Xiao Qing Lou tomorrow, and I cannot afford to lose face like this."

The waiters who served them were all sweaty and confused.

"My Lord, what's wrong with you?"

The Right Vice Minister of the Ministry of Rites said urgently, "We need to open a wing room. Please take us to your second floor."

Seeing how anxious they were, the waiters did not dare to delay and quickly took them upstairs.

The Right Vice Minister of Rites and his men covered their heads and faces with their sleeves and ran upstairs like thieves.

Gong Xiurong, who was drinking at the window of the top floor room, saw this scene and called Guigong to ask: "Why are these officials so angry as if they saw a cat? Could it be that an official with a higher rank than theirs has come from outside?"

Mr. Gui was not very clear about the situation: "I just heard them say that Mu Nanjin is here, but I don't know who Mu Nanjin is."

"Mu Nanjin?"

He stood up and walked to the window opposite, opened it and looked down, and he really saw a little girl dressed in Jinyiwei clothing.

Judging from her attire, she was just a ninth-rank Jinyiwei, yet she actually frightened a third-rank official. This really made him curious about her identity.

Gong Xiurong ordered Guigong, "Go and invite her in, and tell her that I want to see her."

"yes."

Mr. Gui quickly went downstairs to invite Mu Nanjin: "Miss Mu, our Mr. Xiurong wants to see you."

Mu Nanjin raised his eyebrows: "He's back?"

"Yes." The old man raised his head and looked upwards with a smile.

Mu Nanjin followed his gaze.

Gong Xiurong upstairs raised his glass to her.

[Hehe, it seems the buns I gave him worked. ]

The officials hiding on the second floor pricked up their ears and eavesdropped.

Mu Nanjin and Gui Gong entered Qingxiao Tower.

The servants in the building were still cleaning, but it did not affect the guests from coming in to have fun.

The guests included both men and women. Ordinary people could only stay in the lobby to have fun, while the rich people booked private rooms to have fun.

The madam and other pimps in the building immediately became alert when they saw Mu Nanjin wearing the Jinyiwei flying fish uniform. It was the Jinyiwei who had captured Gong Xiurong some time ago, so they had no good impression of the Jinyiwei.

One of the pimps whispered in the madam's ear, "Madam, how come there are girls in the Jinyiwei?"

"I've heard from the high officials who came here for fun that the Jinyiwei Corps has recruited a young girl. I think it must be her. I don't know why she's here."

The turtle sneered: "What else can you do when you come here in official uniform except investigating things and arresting people?"

"It's really bad luck that they come to trouble us every other day."

The madam twisted her waist and came to Mu Nanjin, saying in a delicate voice: "Sir, your presence in our Qingxiaolou really brings honor to our humble building."

The old man who led Mu Nanjin said, "Master Xiurong wants to see her."

The madam was startled and quickly made way for them to pass.

My dears, have you collected anything today?
