Chapter 225 Dali Temple Shaoqing Liyang
Chapter 225 Dali Temple Shaoqing Liyang
Song Wanning remembered this person. He was upright and young.
Without having time to think too much, Song Wanning stopped the man directly.
"How dare you, you bold and unruly commoner, block the way of the Shaoqing! Leave immediately!" The guards around Li Yang shouted angrily.
Song Wanning said to Li Yang, "Sir Shaoqing, I have an important case to report. It is about the plague that has recently occurred in the capital."
At the end of her speech, Song Wanning lowered her voice so that only the two of them could hear it.
Li Yang's eyes dimmed. Only a few officials in the Dali Temple knew about the plague in the capital, and they didn't even report it to the emperor for fear of causing panic.
"You go down first." Li Yang waved away the guards and stared at Song Wanning.
He is a reckless person and looks very young, probably in his teens. How could he know about the plague?
"who are you?"
"I am just a small doctor, Lord Li, can you please excuse me for a moment?"
In this way, Song Wanning brought Li Yang to the yard outside Beijing. Seeing the well full of corpses, Li Yang was shocked and puzzled at the same time.
"You mean to say that the plague in Beijing was caused by these corpses?"
"Lord Li, that's not the case. I've seen all these dead women bled to death. Just imagine what kind of hatred the people in Hongxiufang have against these girls to use such cruel means?"
Song Wanning was explaining. Li Yang covered his mouth and nose. He just felt that the yard smelled very bad. He didn't say anything and listened to Song Wanning.
"I wonder if Lord Li has ever been to the Hongxiufang to have fun?" Song Wanning suddenly asked.
"Why would I go to such a dirty place?" Li Yang looked disgusted.
Song Wanning blinked her eyes: "It doesn't matter if you haven't been there, you will be there soon."
"What do you mean?"
"To be honest, sir, I came across this brothel in order to find the source of the plague. I found that not only are all the girls there very beautiful, but their asking prices are also very low, almost half the price of other brothels."
Seeing that Li Yang didn't understand, Song Wanning continued to explain: "Moreover, these girls all have traces of being bitten by some poisonous creature. I suspect that someone in this Hongxiufang is raising rats and insects, harming the lives of innocent girls, and practicing witchcraft."
The story of witchcraft was just something Song Wanning made up. After all, a voodoo incident broke out in the capital a while ago, and no one in the capital was spared, from high-ranking officials to ordinary civilians.
Using this incident as a gimmick can attract Li Yang's attention.
"I will have Hongxiufang closed down right away."
After Li Yang finished speaking, he prepared to go out and issue the order.
Song Wanning quickly stopped the man and said, "Master Li, you must not do that. Closing down Hongxiufang now will only alert the enemy. Those people are very shrewd. I have asked several clients who have been there, and they all said that there is nothing suspicious."
Song Wanning emphasized her tone as she spoke: "They are hiding very deeply. If they are alarmed, they will just move to another place and continue to commit crimes."
Li Yang looked at Song Wanning deeply. When they first met, he just thought that this man was a young boy who rashly blocked the way of the Shaoqing of the Dali Temple. Now it seems that this man does have some capabilities.
"Then what do you want to do?"
"As I just said, you have never been to Hongxiufang. We can go and have a look together."
Li Yang frowned and said, "The Li family has very strict rules. If my family knew about my going to that kind of place, I would definitely be whipped."
Song Wanning blinked and said, "Master Li, what are you thinking? I mean to go in and sit down, and ask a few girls to drink. The cheapest service."
Li Yang felt embarrassed for a moment, and then he realized that he was being teased by the boy in front of him, and he couldn't help but grit his teeth.
So the next day, Song Wanning took Lord Li, who was disguised in cloth clothes, to Hongxiufang.
Song Wanning looked familiar with the place, and Li Yang became curious: "I see that Brother Song is younger than me, but he looks very familiar with the things in the brothel. Do you come here often?"
"To be honest, this is my first time coming in here too." Song Wanning smiled.
So I feel nervous and excited.
"So what are we going to do after we get in? Do you have any plans?"
"We two will pretend to be businessmen who come in to discuss business, and invite the girls to drink with us. Then we will pretend to be drunk. After the girls leave, we will take the opportunity to go to the backyard to see what's going on."
Song Wanning had already thought it through last night.
"Is it that simple?" Li Yang raised his eyebrows, a little skeptical.
"Does Lord Li have any other complicated plans?"
Li Yang was too embarrassed to say it out loud. He thought he was just going to flatter the girls and get some information out of them.
He had been mentally preparing himself the whole night last night, thinking that he could just treat it as a dog bite and rub off a layer of skin on his body when he got home, and he would still be clean.
I didn’t expect it to be that simple.
Li Yang couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
When they arrived at Hongxiufang, the two men ordered a few girls according to Song Wanning's plan. After pretending to be drunk, the girls left.
Song Wanning woke up first and pushed Li Yang: "Master Li, let's go."
After saying that, she pushed open the window and prepared to jump out.
This room was specially selected by Song Wanning. Behind the window is the backyard, and there is a stable below, making it easy to jump down and climb up.
After the two went downstairs, they followed the two strong men who delivered food all the way to a dungeon. From a distance, they heard wailing sounds from inside, which were shrill and miserable, and it was obvious that it was a woman's voice.
They hid at the entrance of the dungeon, and soon the two strong men came out again, each carrying a bucket.
It was bright red inside and full of the smell of blood.
"How many barrels did those girls smoke?"
"Including these two barrels, there are five barrels in total."
"This is too little. Feed them more. If they can't eat, just stuff them in. The adult is waiting for them. This is not enough."
After the two walked away, Li Yang patted the slightly dazed Song Wanning and said, "Do you want to go in and see what's going on?"
Song Wanning woke up from her deep thoughts and nodded.
A normal person only has half a bucket of blood in their body, but they were pumping it out like that, clearly not caring about the girls' lives.
When the two men arrived at the dungeon, they saw several pale-faced girls lying in the cell, and there were also a lot of rats running around in the cell.
I think the bite wounds on the corpse in the well were caused by this.
Just when they were about to ask the girls what was going on, they suddenly heard voices outside. They looked at each other and found a corner to hide.
"Lock them all up. Take a few more shots every day. Don't worry about whether they live or die. The master is already angry. The supply these two days is too little. Be careful. If we don't serve the master well, we will all die!"
