Feng Jue looked at the two people's backs as they left and made some guesses.

They heard clearly the conversation between Jiang Li and the servant just now. It was obvious that Jiang Li came to the shop disguised as a man under the pretext of buying clothes for her wife in order to trick the servant.

Finally, they found out the secret that there was a dark room in the store. Although they didn't know what was in the dark room, judging from Jiang Li's expression just now, she must have found something in the dark room.

Shen Tingsi looked at Jiang Li's departing back calmly and was about to go to the shop himself to check it out when a middle-aged man hurried into the shop.

Shen Tingsi and Feng Jue stopped instantly and disguised themselves as passers-by.

The middle-aged man closed the door as soon as he walked into the shop. Before closing the door, he looked around vigilantly and closed the door only after he saw that no one was looking in this direction.

Whether it was the expression on his face or the action of closing the door, it clearly showed that he had something to hide!

"The shopkeeper is back. Why are you back so early today?"

After seeing the middle-aged man, the servant came over excitedly. He was filled with joy after receiving a few taels of silver.

The shopkeeper didn't bother to deal with the servant and immediately walked towards the secret door in front of the coffee table.

After seeing the half-open secret door, he turned his head and looked at the servant sharply: "No one came over just now, right?"

The servant was startled by his look and quickly shook his head: "No, no!"

Faced with the shopkeeper's murderous gaze, the servant didn't dare to tell the truth even if someone came.

The shopkeeper breathed a sigh of relief after hearing the servant's words. He had left in a hurry just now and had not had time to check the secret room. When he arrived at the dock, he realized that he had forgotten to bring the key to the secret room, so he hurried back.

"Boss, what happened?"

The servant calmed himself, put his hands behind his back, and subconsciously stuffed the few taels of silver in his sleeves into his pocket.

The shopkeeper said unhappily, "Just do your job well and stop asking about these nonsense!"

The servant nodded angrily: "I understand."

Although the servant said no one was coming, the shopkeeper was still a little worried. He moved the coffee table aside and went to the dark room to check.

Only after making sure that nothing was missing did he feel completely relieved. He instructed the servant several times not to mention the secret of the dark room to anyone in the future.

The shopkeeper had never told anyone about the secret of the shop's dark room, and he was always extremely careful when going to the dark room. The servant knew about it by chance.

However, considering that the boy had a sweet mouth and could attract customers, the shopkeeper did not expel him from the shop. Instead, he repeatedly told him to keep the matter to himself and not to mention it to anyone.

The servant had always followed the shopkeeper's instructions. The reason why he told Jiang Li the secret of the dark room today was that he could not resist the temptation of money. He got carried away and forgot all the shopkeeper's instructions.

It was not until he saw the shopkeeper that he remembered the shopkeeper's instructions. He was afraid that the shopkeeper would find out that he not only told others about the secret room, but also brought people there, and he would lose his job. Therefore, he made up his mind to conceal the matter.

"Shopkeeper, when will that guest take these skirts away?"

The servant followed him into the dark room behind the display case, and asked curiously as he looked at the skirt in the dark room.

A few days ago, the servant accidentally ran into the shopkeeper coming out of the dark room and inadvertently discovered the secret of the dark room. That day, the shopkeeper told him that these skirts had already been ordered by customers and were not for sale to the public.

The servant was just thinking happily that if he could sell all these skirts in one go, the shopkeeper would definitely praise him when he came back. Now he was just glad that the young man didn't like these skirts, otherwise he would be guilty! "Three days later."

The servant nodded and muttered to himself, "I don't know who that customer is. He actually bought so many skirts at once. Can one person wear them all?"

The butler who was walking in front stopped instantly after hearing his muttering, turned his head and looked at the servant with a dark face.

When the servant met the shopkeeper's gaze, his body froze and he quickly covered his mouth and kept silent, not daring to say another word.

The shopkeeper didn't argue with the boy and ordered, "Pack up all the skirts tomorrow and wait for the customer to come and pick them up in three days."

The servant nodded and said, "Yes."

After explaining the matter to the servant, the two walked out of the dark room. After coming out, the shopkeeper locked the secret door immediately, for fear that he would forget to do so again like he did just now.

The shopkeeper put the key in his arms and looked up at the boy: "I have some things to deal with at the dock, so I leave the shop to you."

"Don't worry, boss. I will take good care of the shop!"

The boy straightened his back and made a promise to the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper looked suspiciously at the waiter who was particularly attentive today, but as he had important matters to attend to, he did not bother to ask and left the shop in a hurry.

It only took a cup of tea from the time he came back to the time he left, but during this short period of time, the servant's mood went through many twists and turns.

The servant's heart finally settled down after he saw the shopkeeper leave with his own eyes. He covered his chest, listened to the thumping of his heartbeat and breathed a sigh of relief.

“That was a close call!”

Fortunately, he was smart enough to conceal the fact that he had taken people to the dark room. Otherwise, with the shopkeeper's expression, he would have skinned him alive after knowing this! After the shopkeeper left, Feng Jue on the roof moved the tiles under his feet back, and then turned his head to look at Shen Tingsi who was standing beside him.

"Master, these clothes look like what those people in the brothel wear."

The clothes in the dark room are all light gauze skirts, the kind that are neither revealing nor revealing, which are similar to the clothes worn by the girls in brothels.

Shen Tingsi opened his thin lips slightly and uttered three words lightly: "Go to the brothel."

Jiang Li and Qing Zhu came to the brothel. After seeing the clothes worn by the girls in the brothel, Jiang Li was almost certain that the clothes in the dark room were prepared for the people in the brothel.

The General's Mansion is in collusion with the brothel! No wonder Zhou Qingyuan spent half of his military pay to help the refugees, but the General's Mansion still had money to eat and drink. It turned out that there was such a conspiracy with the brothel behind the scenes! There are three brothels in Jiangnan, and the Jinse Building where Jiang Li is now is the largest in Jiangnan and the one that the rich people like to come to the most.

There are nearly a hundred girls in the flower house. The main feature of Jinse House is that there are many girls, of all types, some can play the piano, sing music, and speak beautifully, which will satisfy you.

With the cooperation with Jinselou, it is no wonder that small garment shop in the south of the city can make so much profit every month.

After confirming their guess, Jiang Li and Qingzhu left Jinse Tower and went to Jiang Mansion. However, Jiang Li did not stay in Jiang Mansion for long today. She left after tasting the pastries just made by Jiang's mother.

Before leaving, Jiang's mother stuffed several oil paper bags into Qingzhu's hands and asked them to take the cakes back home to eat.

"Miss, where are we going next?"
