"Bang"
Suddenly there was a loud noise outside the house, and the lively atmosphere in the house was frightened to a standstill. Several girls who were trying hard to perform looked at each other, but due to the issue of professional ethics, they calmed down a little and prepared to continue the performance. If they had stopped the performance because of the fright just now, they might have become picky if they met other guests.
"Hey, wait a minute, you don't have to perform for now. You must have been scared just now. Have some tea and take a rest."
Fengming noticed their actions and stopped them out of pity. Even they were startled by the sudden loud noise. These girls must have been frightened as well. It was amazing that they were able to adjust their mentality so quickly and continue the performance.
"Yes, thank you, sir."
Although these girls could tell at a glance that some of their guests were women, they were sensible enough not to expose them. After all, it was the guests' pleasure, so they should do their best to cooperate.
"I'll go check outside..."
"Open the door, open the door, open the door quickly!"
Feng Xiyun was just saying that he wanted to go out and take a look when he heard another banging sound outside the door. Judging from the volume of the sound, it should be in the next room not far away.
Is it starting?
This thought came to everyone's mind. They thought that the Second Prince must have started to make a fuss. Perhaps Bai Baozhu had arrived when they were watching the beautiful girl's customized singing and dancing performance in the house.
Sure enough, there was another sound outside the door.
snap
"ah!"
"What are you doing? Why did you break into my room?"
I think those people who were banging on the door were getting impatient and broke in directly. That sound was a woman's scream. Could it be that the other person was doing something when those people broke in?
"What are you doing? Our master's treasure is missing, and now we suspect the thief is hiding in one of your houses. What are you doing? Search for me!"
There was another sound of rummaging through boxes and cabinets. "Nothing here, let's go to the next room!"
"Oh my God, gentlemen, please show some mercy. These are all my guests. There is no way there could be thieves here."
The brothel owner who had brought them upstairs could be heard outside, apparently trying to stop the men from breaking into other guests' rooms. However, these were guards under the Second Prince's orders: they had to make as much noise as possible and dig Bai Baozhu out of the brothel's room in full view of everyone.
"Oh, it's important that your guest has my treasure. It was meant to be presented to my father, the national treasure of Dongyao. But it was lost in a place like yours today, and you're even preventing my people from going in to look for it. Are you one of those thieves, huh?"
A young voice, unmistakably that of a dandy, unyielding, and powerful figure, rang out. Feng Xiyun had already opened the door and looked outside. He now explained the situation to those inside the room, "It's that Second Prince we approached at the door. Wow, he's quite arrogant, even better than Wang Yijun."
"Oh my, my Lord, please spare me. I promise that this Bailiyuan will never harbor a thief. If you do this, oh my, how can I continue my business?"
The brothel owner tried to stop the Third Prince from sending people to search the house, but she was unable to stop the actions of these tall and scary-looking guards. She could only raise her voice and cry loudly, trying to arouse these people's sympathy.
"Search, search every corner. You, go over there, guard the door, don't let a single fly escape. If I don't find it today, I will bury you all with me!"
The second prince naturally ignored the brothel owner's cries and ordered the other guards to guard both sides of the stairs and the front and back doors of Bailiyuan. This was obviously to prevent Bai Baozhu from being startled by the noise and escaping.
"Prince, there are really...really only the two of us in this room."
"Hey, Mr. Park, I didn't expect you to like coming here too. If Mrs. Park knew about this, she would be so surprised."
"Second Lord, Second Lord, please... please keep this a secret for me, Great Lord..."
It seems that the person in the next room is a man who came to the brothel without telling his wife, and it seems that the wife of that man also has a bad temper.
"Hey, what's the official title of this Sheren?"
Fengming suddenly became curious. She had been in Dongyao for such a while, but she still had not fully understood Dongyao's political system.
"This Sheren is a civil servant equivalent to the fourth rank in Daqing."
“Oh, and what is Uijeongbu?”
Feng Yuyun was also intrigued by this topic and asked Su Wei, who answered Feng Ming's question, a follow-up question.
Seeing Feng Yuyun's question, Su Wei suddenly became interested.
"This Uprising is the administrative body of Dongyao, equivalent to the Hanlin Academy of Daqing. It is responsible for assisting their king in discussing and deciding national affairs."
"Oh, then what did he just call Jun?"
"Jun is the title given by King Dongyao to his sons. The princes of Dongyao are different from the princes of Daqing. The sons born to the queen are called Dajun, and the sons of concubines are called Jun."
"What's their prince's name?"
"Their country is too small, how can he be called a crown prince? He can only be called a prince."
Feng Ming helped Su Wei fill in the answer to the last question. Feng Yuyun suddenly understood after hearing it: "Oh, no wonder that sickly guy asked us to support his second brother to be the prince. I was wondering what the prince was like. Isn't that the title of the son of a prince in our place? I was wondering if he went to so much trouble to cooperate with us just to make his second brother a prince. It turns out he wanted to make him the heir. Now that makes sense."
Feng Yuyun looked very happy and couldn't help but high-five to celebrate.
Because they were all speaking Daqing dialect, they didn't care that there were several women from Bailiyuan in the house. After all, they had tested it before and found that none of them could understand Daqing dialect, so they felt safe and confident to communicate.
"Move aside, move aside, we need to go in and check if there is another thief hiding in your house."
At this time, the Second Prince's guards who were leading the search of the house "looking for thieves" had already arrived outside Feng Ming and her friends' room. They were challenging Feng Xiyun to move aside so they could come in and search the house.
Feng Xiyun was enjoying the fun, so he naturally stepped aside with a smile on his face. He just wanted to see how these people pretended to search, and he was just treating it as a good show. Naturally, he didn't care about their bad attitude towards him.
The guards pushed the door open with a show of force, only to find the room filled with people, all neatly dressed. "What's wrong with these people? Don't they know how to have fun in a brothel?"
One of the guards said this subconsciously, which caused the other guards to laugh evilly.
