Seeing Ye Lian's expression, Su Yan felt a little uneasy, but she still went into the house.
Before she could even step across the threshold, she felt a force pushing her from behind, causing her to lean forward and fall into the house.
By the time Su Yan realized what was happening, the door had already slammed shut, and Su Yan realized that she had been exposed.
"Open the door... What are you going to do..." Su Yan got up from the ground and tried to open the door.
Just then, Ye's mother's voice could be heard from outside the door, "You brat, don't think I don't know you're from the government..."
Seeing that she had been exposed, Su Yan stopped pretending and said, "Since you know I am a government official and still dare to touch me, aren't you afraid that the government will confiscate your Zuisheng Mengsi account?"
Ye Lian sneered, "Don't even mention the government officials, even if the Heavenly King himself came, he would have to admit defeat on my turf."
Su Yan quickly noticed a clue. Judging from Ye Lian's appearance, the case of the corpse in the dry well was probably related to a life of debauchery.
Su Yan quickly calmed down and probed indirectly, "How did you find out about me?"
"The case of the body found in the dry well has been the talk of the town in Chang'an recently, everyone knows about it, and yet you come to my place, 'Drunken Life and Desire,' specifically looking for that kind of thing. If I still can't see through it, I'm a fool..."
After listening, Su Yan narrowed her eyes slightly, as if she had noticed something in the madam's words.
"It seems that someone from the government has already informed you, according to Mother Yiye..."
Because it involved high-ranking officials of the imperial court, detailed information about the case was not made public. Therefore, most ordinary people knew that there was such a case, but did not know that the victim was a girl.
Therefore, Su Yan deduced that there was very likely a mole within the government, otherwise Su Yan would not have failed in this operation.
Ye Lian didn't hide anything, "That's right, the government does have my pawns, but unfortunately, you'll never know who they are..."
After saying that, Ye Lian looked at the two burly men beside her, "Keep an eye on him, I'm going to find the sect leader to ask how to deal with this kid..."
"yes……"
When Su Yan heard Ye Lian mention "pavilion master," she tensed up, wondering if it referred to the Dark Moon Pavilion.
Before any results were available, complete silence had returned outside. Su Yan looked around the room and realized that the main door was the only exit.
Now that they've alerted the enemy, Su Yan has no choice but to admit defeat.
Just then, a cold wind blew by, and Su Yan felt a little dizzy and had no strength at all.
Presumably due to inhaling too much aphrodisiac, the unusual sensations in her body made Su Yan feel uneasy.
Without the antidote, she would definitely have been tortured to death by the aphrodisiac incense. No wonder Ye Lian didn't lay a hand on her, but just locked her up in a room.
Su Yan didn't know whether she was lucky or unlucky. Although she was not in immediate danger, she probably wouldn't survive if things dragged on like this.
Moreover, no one else knows that she has infiltrated the Drunken Dreamland, and now they can only hope that Bai Yunfei can bring Shen Yao to rescue her as soon as possible.
Bai Yunfei, who was hiding in the shadows, waited for Su Yan for a full hour, but did not see her come out.
He wanted to go in and check on the situation, but then he remembered the things Su Yan had told him before she left.
So, he took Su Yan's waist token and went to the Dali Temple.
However, the guards at the entrance of the Dali Temple saw that he was a stranger and that the waist token did not belong to him, so they stopped him from entering.
Bai Yunfei tried to persuade them until his lips were almost worn out, but the guards were determined not to let him in.
Having no other option, Bai Yunfei went to the spot where he had climbed over the wall the day before, intending to climb over the wall again to find someone.
Just as he was about to leave, a man called out to him.
How did you get Su Yan's waist tag?
Bai Yunfei turned around and saw a man in an official robe looking him up and down. The tall man in front of him seemed to be just as Su Yan had described, with a fierce look on his face and a knife at his waist.
"Are you Shen Yao?"
Shen Yao nodded, looking at the unfamiliar young man in front of him with a puzzled expression, "Who are you? How do you know my name?"
Shen Yao originally wanted to talk to Su Yan about the case of the drowned corpse, but he couldn't find her in the Supervisory Bureau. Just as he walked out of the Dali Temple gate, he saw a young man holding Su Yan's waist token, so he came to inquire about the situation.
Bai Yunfei hadn't expected to find Shen Yao so quickly, and hurriedly urged him, "Lord Shen, come with me to rescue them..."
"Save someone?" Shen Yao was puzzled when he suddenly remembered the waist tag the boy was holding and immediately realized, "Su Yan is in trouble?"
"There's no time to explain in detail. My master said that if I haven't come out of this state of drunken stupor after more than an hour, he told me to come find you..."
Bai Yunfei's words aroused Shen Yao's suspicion. "When did Su Yan take on a disciple? How come I didn't know?"
“Last night, there wasn’t time to explain in detail… If it had been any later, something terrible would have happened to Master…”
Seeing the boy's anxious look, Shen Yao had his doubts, but he still left with him.
As they approached the brothel, Shen Yao became even more confused. "You mean Su Yan is in this brothel?"
Bai Yunfei nodded. "Master said the murderer in the corpse-dumping case has a perverted sex fetish, and there's a good chance we can find clues in 'Drunken Dreams'... so we..."
Upon hearing this, Shen Yao angrily retorted, "Nonsense, utter nonsense..."
Su Yan might not know, but Shen Yao knew very well that the sugar daddy behind the decadent lifestyle was a member of the imperial family. He dared to provoke Su Yan, so Su Yan was likely in grave danger this time.
"Why didn't you stop your master... Why didn't you inform me beforehand when you started this plan..." Shen Yao looked at the boy in front of him and scolded him with disappointment.
Although Bai Yunfei didn't know why Shen Yao was so angry, judging from Shen Yao's expression, it seemed to be something serious.
"What do we do now? Master is still trapped inside..."
"I'm going to find him. You stay here. If I haven't brought anyone out in two hours, you go to the Chang'an County government office and report to the authorities. Find a constable named Sun San and have him bring his men to Zuishengmengsi to catch the thief. Make a big scene, the bigger the better..."
Bai Yunfei nodded, "Don't worry, Lord Shen..."
After giving Bai Yunfei his instructions, Shen Yao secretly climbed over the wall from the backyard of the Drunken Dreamland.
It was midnight, the moon was obscured by dark clouds, and the city was brightly lit. Shen Yao, dressed in black, was well hidden in the darkness.
The guards at the place, which was in a state of decadence and debauchery, were very strict, and he had almost no chance of sneaking in.
Left with no other choice, Shen Yao used his lightness skill to leap onto the roof, lift the tiles on the eaves, and check the condition of each room.
Almost every room in the backyard echoed with the sounds of beds shaking and the panting of men and women entwined. Although the scale of this decadent lifestyle was quite large, the soundproofing in the rooms was really poor.
At this moment, Shen Yao, with a dark expression, put the tile back on and glanced at a secluded room.
There were no lights inside the house, but there were guards outside the door, which aroused Shen Yao's suspicion.
