Chapter 166: The Emperor Can See Everything Clearly for a Few Minutes at a Time

The clients in Zuichunlou had been awakened by the noise, and were now wearing outer robes and sticking their heads out from the cracks in the door to look in this direction.

The incident happened suddenly, and even the madam, who was always well-informed, didn't know what had happened.

She wanted to get closer to the crowd, but seeing Song Junyan's imposing manner and his aura that was not to be messed with, she swallowed and subconsciously took a step back.

Not daring to ask the officer in charge, she could only go to the officer guarding the door to try to get some information.

But not everyone could hear Lu Xinran's voice. The income of the officials was not meager, but it was still difficult for them to save up 5,000 taels.

Although the madam ran a very famous brothel, she probably earned five thousand taels of silver every day.

But she is not free.

No matter how glorious she was, she was still a servant whose indenture was held in someone else's hands.

So she couldn't hear a word of Lu Xinran's thoughts.

She was also confused when meeting the official. She was very good at judging people and could tell at a glance that the other party was not lying.

The officers who stayed outside really had no idea what was going on.

The madam was so anxious that she was at a loss. The guests upstairs had already been woken up. If she couldn't give a suitable reason, she would not be able to control them once they started making a fuss.

Zhang Shui'er stood with the Lu sisters, and the three of them all looked up through the open door to see what was happening above.

The madam looked at Lu Xinran and her sister and felt that they looked familiar. She approached them cautiously with a smile to inquire.

"Girls, could any one of you please tell me what happened? If the officials continue to make trouble, I'm afraid I won't be able to continue my business."

Lu Xinran withdrew her gaze from Zuichunlou and looked at the anxious madam. Then, under her expectant gaze, she quickly opened the booklet that belonged to her.

[This madam? This Zuichunlou is actually the emperor's property! ]

[Do the ministers in the court know that the brothels they like to visit the most are the property of their biggest master? ]

[He actually runs a brothel. The emperor's private treasury must be very rich. ]

[Even brothels are run, what other money would the emperor be embarrassed to make? ]

[With so many profitable businesses, how could the emperor still be short of money? Isn't it that the national treasury is the national treasury and the private treasury is the private treasury? 】

[But this Great Chu is his, does he still need to separate the national treasury and private treasury so clearly? ]

[The national treasury is extremely poor, the Minister of Revenue fights with others at the morning court every day, and the emperor's private treasury is extremely rich, with so much money that he doesn't know how to spend it...]

The more Lu Xinran thought about it, the more he was amazed. He always felt that the emperor was wasted his talent by being born into an imperial family.

If he was born into a merchant family like the Yun family, he would have become the richest man in Chu.

In Zuichunlou, everyone who could hear the inner voices woke up completely.

What did they just hear? The boss behind Zuichunlou is the emperor?!

Well, well, then isn't it true that the emperor knows exactly how long they stay here every time, and how many minutes each time.

This is horrible!

Cold sweat broke out all over their bodies. At this moment, no one thought about what the commotion in Zuichunlou was about. They just wanted to change their clothes quickly and never set foot here again in their lives.

The madam looked at the dissatisfied guest, retreated back to the room in an instant, put on all her clothes and left in a hurry in a moment.

The madam, who had no idea what had happened, became even more confused.

Zhang Shuier kindly pointed out: "There is a murderer in your building, and the government is trying to arrest him now."

"What!"

The madam was shocked, and her expression of bewilderment was no longer pretended.

She opened her mouth slightly and looked at Sun Qihang who was pushed down from the building.

She remembered clearly how arrogant and proud this man was when he came yesterday.

In just one night, he became... a murderer?

Meeting Sun Qihang's venomous gaze, she shuddered instantly and quickly looked away.

Following them was a group of patrons who had hurriedly put on their clothes. They all glared at her fiercely as they passed by, then ran away in a hurry.

The madam was shocked and a little confused. She really didn't understand what was going on and why there were so many changes.

Song Junyan walked right past her and left with Sun Qihang in big strides.

Cui Shenglin followed them excitedly and ran to Shuntian Prefecture to serve as a witness.

Zhang Shui'er looked at Zuihonglou where only the madam and a group of girls were left after the guests had dispersed, and made a meaningful reminder before leaving.

"You can think about what you can do in the future if Zuichunlou can no longer operate."

After she finished speaking, she took Lu Xinran and the others to look for their own carriage. The madam stood there in a daze. She thought for a long time but couldn't understand why Zuichunlou couldn't be run even though it had such a powerful backer.

In the carriage, Zhang Shui'er was pulling them excitedly, "How about we go to Shuntianfu as well? Sun Qihang was just arrested, and we still lack strong evidence."

If they don't go, Song Junyan will not be able to solve the case smoothly.

It's obvious at first glance that Sun Qihang is a tough nut to crack.

Lu Xinran hummed, "Then let's go and take a look."

She went to check out the specific details so that Sun Qihang could be beheaded as soon as possible!

The carriage stopped outside Shuntian Mansion, where Ding Wu was already waiting.

When they saw them getting off the car, they immediately came forward warmly and led them into the government office.

"The Lord is interrogating Sun Qihang. He told me before the interrogation that if you guys want to go and listen to the interrogation, I will lead you there now."

They came to Shuntianfu just to join in the fun, so how could they not go and listen to the interrogation of Sun Qihang and others?

Especially Lu Xinran was still eager to continue digging up the process and the evil things Sun Qihang had done in the past.

She didn't want Sun Qihang to die too easily.

In the dungeon, Lu Gaorong looked at Sun Qihang who was imprisoned. He rushed to the fence in shock and shook the fence excitedly.

"You, you... why are you here? Where is Zhang Yuqi? What did you do to him?!"

Sun Qihang rolled his eyes at him with disdain. A guy who could easily fool Zhang Yuqi was so stupid that he was not worthy of talking to him.

He was pushed into the cell and sat down on the floor.

Judging from the time, his servant should have found his father by now. His father would definitely find a way to rescue him if he knew he was in trouble.
