Chapter 176: Postscript: Beside the Sunken Boat (Part 1)



Xiao Nanhui's mind was elsewhere and he was obviously a little annoyed.

The pleasure boat on the river not far away changed direction again. The colorful cloth and paper flowers hanging around the boat swayed in the wind, making it difficult to see what was going on inside the boat.

"We've been watching for half an hour, why is there still no movement?"

Upon hearing this, Jia Han reported seriously.

"I heard from spies that after sunset, this pleasure boat will go along the inns on both sides of this waterway to solicit business. However, apart from the occasional drunken passenger falling into the water, there is nothing unusual. They will not take guests to see the river god until it is completely dark."

After spending so many years with Yao Yi, Xiao Nanhui instantly smelled something unusual.

"Soliciting business? What business?"

The other party asked so directly that County Lieutenant Jia felt a little embarrassed.

"Just...that kind of business."

Xiao Nanhui understood, looked at Jia Han and felt like laughing again. While wanting to laugh, he also felt a little envious of Tian Weier.

She turned to look at the person beside her who was slowly peeling shrimps and pretended to be confused.

"Do you know what business it is?"

Su Wei placed a stack of peeled shrimps in front of the woman and answered calmly.

"The brothels and willow alleys are places of pleasure and pleasure, where men and women indulge in love and the trade of wine and meat."

The woman stopped talking, snorted and turned her head away.

The man peeling the shrimps blinked innocently and slowly shirked his responsibility.

"I've never seen anything like this before, and it was you who opened my eyes."

The half of her face that was turned away was tinged with embarrassment, as if she was thinking of something. Fortunately, the next moment, the pleasure boat not far away finally came over slowly and solved her unnecessary dilemma.

"Finally."

It was getting dark, and the river water seemed to be gradually becoming turbid, and the sky was gray.

The pleasure boat finally stopped beside the pavilion after several twists and turns. The deck was lowered, and a pair of girls appeared on both sides of the boat. They looked to be no more than sixteen or seventeen years old, and they were actually twin sisters.

The two of them didn't look as fawning as most other people in the world. Instead, they exuded a sense of coldness and aloofness, which aroused people's curiosity and exploration.

Xiao Nanhui took out the paper flowers and banknotes he had prepared early in the morning from his lapel and handed them over.

"We have something important to ask you, sir. Would you be willing to see me today?"

The two girls looked the three people up and down, took the things without leaving a trace, and then went forward to check carefully. No weapons were found, so they respectfully made way for the wooden stairs behind them.

"We respectfully invite the three distinguished guests to the elegant seats on the second floor."
