Chapter 174 Yingying Yanyan
Gu Huan hurriedly stopped Chiyu.
She realized that this person was not here to supervise the army, but to cause trouble.
Maybe he wanted to take the opportunity to avenge Yuan Zhongying.
So, don’t be fooled!
Gu Huan smiled: "Sir Yuan, you just stepped on the land of Southern Xinjiang. You didn't go to the front line to comfort the injured soldiers, and you didn't understand the suffering of the people in Juzhou. You ignored military discipline and hurt the people of Juzhou. You just had a verbal fight and threw dirty water on the head of Duke Yong. Although my status is low, I was married by the emperor. Sir, you slandered me in public and slandered the commander of the Southern Xinjiang soldiers..."
She took a slow step forward and spoke in a lower voice, but loud enough for the people standing nearby to hear clearly.
"Sir, a war is imminent. Are you trying to disrupt the morale of the army?"
"you!"
Gu Huan didn't wait for him to speak, she stood up straight and said loudly: "Ah, the enemy's spies Yifengtang just assassinated my Juzhou prefect, trying to disturb the people and shake the morale of the army, and now you are here to cheer for them?"
"Sir, may I ask where you are from? Which country do you receive your salary from?"
Yuan Zhongyong's face changed drastically.
More and more people gathered around, and many Juzhou garrison troops also surrounded them.
The leader of the guards around him saw that the situation was not good and that it would be troublesome if it aroused public anger.
He quickly approached Yuan Zhongyong and whispered, "Master Yuan, business is more important."
Yuan Zhongyong's face turned pale with anger, and he glared at Gu Huan fiercely: "Go."
Gu Huan and Chi Yu watched them go straight to the government office of Duke Yong.
The two looked at each other. Are they going to live in the government office?
Akabane frowned.
He was originally going to return to the military camp to report after sending Gu Huan off, but if Yuan Zhongyong wanted to live in the government office and his wife also lived here, he was afraid that he would cause trouble again and his wife would not be safe.
"Ma'am, let's go take a look."
Gu Huan nodded, and followed Chiyu into the government office.
As soon as Yuan Zhongyong entered the room, he angrily shouted at the gatekeeper: "Take me to the main courtyard to rest."
Gu Huan frowned.
The main house was where Mu Junyan lived, and she also lives here now.
Chiyu was afraid that Gu Huan would be wronged, so he immediately rushed over to stop Yuan Zhongyong.
"Master Yuan, the main courtyard is where the master and his wife live. Please stay in the courtyard."
Yuan Zhongyong was filled with rage, pointing at him and yelling, "I am the imperial envoy, and even the Duke of Yong should be respectful to me. Who do you think you are? How dare you block my way!"
Gu Huan naturally couldn't let him live in the main courtyard, in case there were some confidential things kept there.
The Jiang and Yuan families are like brothers.
Even the Jiang family dares to cooperate with Yifengtang, who knows if they will collaborate with the enemy!
Gu Huan stepped forward and bowed to him, "Sir Yuan, Duke Yong and I both live in the main courtyard. It would be inconvenient for you to move in, wouldn't it?"
Yuan Zhongyong looked disdainful: "Why don't you just move out? What's the inconvenience? A little concubine is worthy of living in the main courtyard?"
Gu Huan sneered, "This is the residence of the commander of the Mu family army. My husband's main courtyard is all military secrets. My lord, you rashly barged in and tried to seize our residence. I wonder what your intention is?"
Yuan Zhongyong's face changed slightly as he recalled her question just now.
If he were to be associated with such a nasty woman again and used as a pretext by someone with ulterior motives, he would lose more than he gained.
But he couldn't keep his face, and snorted coldly: "I am a third-rank official..."
"My husband is a first-rank duke." Gu Huan did not give in at all and showed no fear.
Yuan Zhong was very brave.
"Good, good, good, very good!"
Gu Huan bowed and saluted, then stood up and ordered, "Come here, take Master Yuan to the guest house to rest. Be sure to serve him well."
Watching them leave as a group.
Gu Huan and Chi Yu frowned at the same time.
"We must report this to the Lord immediately."
"Yes, we need to tell him what this guy is. We need to be on guard."
"good."
The two nodded and went their separate ways, and Akabane soon disappeared.
As soon as Gu Huan and Dong Hua turned around, they heard a noise at the door.
Gu Huan turned around and saw a large group of young ladies crowded at the gate, arguing with the doorman.
"What's going on? How dare such a person come to our Duke's Mansion?" Donghua felt that it was too much.
"Go and have a look."
Gu Huan and Dong Hua walked to the door and the doorman bowed to her.
"Madam, they are private prostitutes from Juzhou. They said that the imperial envoy ordered them to serve you."
Gu Huan raised her eyebrows.
He's already hired a prostitute before he even enters the house.
What kind of dog official is this!
The doorman shooed them away with a dark face: "This is the Yongguogong Mansion, how can you come in? Go away quickly."
The most beautiful girl twisted her slender waist, stretched out her hand, and a jade token appeared in her palm.
He said arrogantly: "This is the token given by the imperial envoy. Do you dare to stop me?"
Gu Huan suddenly became smart and stretched out her hand: "Let me see, it can't be fake, right?"
Unexpectedly, the woman was very alert and retracted her hand: "You want to trick me into taking my token, right? Do you think I'm a fool?"
Gu Huan smiled and said, "Girl, regardless of whether the jade token is real or fake, you have committed a serious taboo."
Several women were stunned.
"What's the big taboo?"
"Actually, the concierge is doing this for your own good. Lord Yuan is not an ordinary official. He is here in the name of the emperor to supervise the army. He is an official in the army. According to the laws of our Great Zhou, generals and civil officials in the army are not allowed to hire private prostitutes. If they want women, they can only transfer them from the Jiaofang Bureau or find military prostitutes in the barracks."
The leading woman sneered: "Ha, what's the difference? They are all for men to sleep with."
"That's right, aren't the Jiaofangsi and military prostitutes for sale? Who is more noble than the other?"
"The Jiaofangsi are all criminal slaves, they are worse than us."
Several beautiful women burst into laughter.
Gu Huan smiled and said, "It's really different. If an official asks a girl from the Jiaofangsi or a military prostitute to serve him, it will be recorded. Moreover, the girls from the Jiaofangsi and the military prostitutes are all recorded in the register, and their identities and family backgrounds are clear. If anyone dares to collaborate with the enemy, they will be found out after a check. Therefore, they dare not do anything reckless. But private prostitutes are different. They have close contacts with all kinds of people. I don't need to explain the rest in detail, right?"
Gu Huan pronounced the word "collaborating with the enemy" in a clear and precise voice.
Several girls immediately understood what she meant.
Their faces all changed.
The leading girl's face darkened: "What do you mean?"
"It doesn't matter what I mean, just don't let the girls be accused of other things. The crime of treason is to punish the entire clan."
Gu Huan's tone suddenly changed, "The war is imminent, so you guys should not cause trouble for yourselves, right? If someone takes advantage of you, no one will seek justice for a lowly person."
These words hit them right in the heart, and the girls turned pale.
"Sister Zhuohua, let's not go there, shall we?"
The leading woman was called Zhuohua.
She looked at Gu Huan with cold eyes and a meaningful smile on her face: "I didn't expect that the concubine of Duke Yong is so sharp-tongued."
She twisted her waist and took a look inside: "Since the mistress won't let me in, there's nothing we can do. Let's go back, sisters."
Gu Huan raised her eyebrows as she watched them walk away seductively, swaying from side to side.
Call her Mistress?
Not only did he recognize her, but he also knew her status in the Duke's Mansion?
Very well-informed.
Yaoyao, Zhuohua?
Gu Huan suddenly felt confused and uneasy.
Just then, Akabane walked towards her.
The two looked at each other and realized that Akabane had already delivered the letter.
Gu Huan winked at him, and the two of them walked towards the main courtyard in tacit understanding.
When no one was around, Gu Huan whispered, "Just now, a group of prostitutes from Juzhou came and said that Lord Yuan gave them tokens to serve. But I think something is fishy. The token is not given casually. If she disguises herself as a good citizen or a woman disguised as a man, she can enter the military camp with the token."
Akabane was surprised: "Token?"
"You also find it incredible, right?" The more Gu Huan thought about it, the more she found it unbelievable.
"He is an imperial envoy from the capital, but as soon as he arrived, a woman from a brothel got the token."
She stopped, looking grim, and lowered her voice: "Have you heard about Yaoyao? The peach tree is young and beautiful, and its flowers are bright and brilliant. Yaoyao, bright and brilliant..."
"Also, I feel like this Zhuohua looks a bit like Yaoyao."
Akabane immediately understood what she meant.
"I'll send someone to check right away."
