Chapter 209 See the world
Hui Chengyuan opened the window and looked out. "A few years ago, when the general of Zhao was sentenced to death along with his entire family, I sent people to Zhao to inquire about the situation."
"The general was a righteous man, but he was beheaded because of a false accusation. It is really chilling."
"My people were able to find out that the general was framed, so how could Emperor Zhao not find out? He still executed the entire Xu family and sentenced the imperial concubine to death."
"It can be seen that this false accusation was what he wanted, and the people who framed the Xu family were the Sima family."
Yuan Man frowned. "So, Emperor Zhao is not afraid of the Sima family's evil intentions, but is afraid that the general who guards the country has other intentions?"
Hui Chengyuan nodded, "Because the Sima family has no military power, while the general guarding the country has 200,000 soldiers."
"Until the death of the general, the border troops remained silent. Emperor Zhao then realized that the Xu family had no intention of rebelling, but it was too late."
"When the National Defense Army learned that the General had died tragically, more than 80,000 soldiers retired and returned home."
At this point, the 200,000 soldiers were reduced to a few hundred thousand, and none of the people promoted by Queen Zhao could be used.
Emperor Zhao made an extremely wrong move.
Yuan Man thought of what Jin Nan had told her and asked, "Is Emperor Zhao dying?"
Hui Chengyuan looked at her, "Why do you ask?"
Yuanman told him the identities of Jinnan and Yanbei, and what Jinnan said.
After hearing this, Hui Ruan looked at her and asked, "What kind of luck is this?"
Yuan Man shrugged.
Hui Chengyuan thought for a moment and said, "The Emperor Zhao was indeed ill for a period of time, but he is now well again, so it is hard to tell whether the person who contacted Jinnan is a good person or a bad person."
"However, your decision is correct. Yanbei is still too young, and it is not appropriate for them to jump into this kind of struggle for succession."
"According to the information I received, Emperor Zhao is in good health and can probably live another ten years."
"Since it was the Sima family who killed Jinnan's family, should we save Sima Jing?" Yuan Man asked with a frown.
Hui Chengyuan thought for a moment and said, "Since you accepted the mission, then save him."
"This favor will always be useful. Yanbei will return to Zhao sooner or later."
Yuan Man nodded, "Let's disguise ourselves tonight and go check it out. We don't know which brothel Sima Jing is in."
Hui Chengyuan put her on the chair next to him and called Ling Feng and the others in.
"Let them go. We'll go over there after we find out where they are."
After hearing this, Ling Feng took Ling Yang and the others out of the inn to find out which brothels all the new arrivals had entered during this period.
After nightfall, the four of them came back and locked onto the Yuanyang Pavilion and the Baihua Pavilion. These were the only two families that had new girls arriving in the past few days, and they were still being trained.
After hearing this, Yuan Man sighed, what a coincidence, the person was in his newly acquired Yuanyang Pavilion.
There is a Mandarin Duck Island and a Mandarin Duck Pavilion, and she is fighting with the mandarin ducks.
"Let's go to this Yuanyang Pavilion first."
Hui Chengyuan nodded, then looked at her, "This kind of place is mostly filthy, with many things that are unsightly, so you are not allowed to wander around, understand?"
This was the first time Hui Chengyuan spoke to her so seriously. Yuan Man blinked and looked at him, "We already have a child, and we have seen everything we should see." Then she drew a circle on his chest, "I am not a little girl who knows nothing, why are you so serious?"
Hui Chengyuan's heart beat faster when he asked her to draw, and he grabbed her hand, "Well, I just don't want to pollute your eyes."
"However, we can discuss what Madam just said again."
Yuan Man blinked, "What did I say?"
"I've read everything I need to read about this matter." Hui Chengyuan picked her up and walked towards the bed.
"No, we're going out soon." Yuanman swung his legs.
Hui Chengyuan lowered his eyes and looked at her, "It's okay to go later."
So this one was an hour late.
When entering Yuanyang Pavilion, Yuanman glared at him.
Hui Chengyuan coughed lightly and followed her.
Yuan Man had dressed up as a man before, so she was naturally very familiar with it. As long as she wanted to, even the brothel madam who had seen countless people would not be able to recognize her.
After entering the box and sitting down, Yuanman immediately called his mother over.
"I'm bringing my dumb brother to see the world. I don't want anything that has been played with by others, just something new. Do you have any?"
Mom glanced at Hui Chengyuan's stern face, and her eyes suddenly brightened up, "Yes, yes, I will definitely not let you two down."
With this aura, he must be a young man from a wealthy family, who will make as much money as possible.
Yuan Man waved his hand casually, "Go, bring it here for me to see."
Mom walked out with a smile on her face and asked someone to bring the newcomers over.
Sima Jing followed her mother to the box with a nervous look on her face. When she saw Hui Chengyuan sitting there, she couldn't take her eyes off him.
Yuan Man narrowed his eyes at her, "Does it look good?"
"How about you serve him tonight."
Sima Jing was stunned and her face turned pale immediately. She turned to look at the handsome man. It seemed that it was not impossible. If she could get him to redeem her and send her back to Ningcheng, he would be her future husband.
It's better than being stuck here, unable to live or die, not to mention, he is so handsome.
Her mother pushed her and said, "Go and serve me quickly. Only if you serve me well can you live a good life."
Yuan Man looked at the girl. She didn't know what Sima Jing looked like, so naturally she didn't recognize that this was Sima Jing.
He looked at the other girls again, and only the girl who was staring at Hui Chengyuan was more eye-catching. From her temperament and every move, she looked more like a lady from a wealthy family.
"Okay, leave all of these here and let me choose. No matter which one I choose, I'll give them all to you."
Mom agreed cheerfully, "Well, I won't disturb you two gentlemen."
After his mother left, Yuan Man looked at Hui Chengyuan and raised his eyebrows, "Brother, choose one yourself. There are so many, there must be one that catches your eye."
Hui Chengyuan stared at her in silence, his lips tightly pursed.
My mother listened outside the door, confirmed that there was no problem, and then left.
Yuan Man confirmed that his mother had left and looked at Sima Jing, "Did you all come here in the past few days? Have you served anyone?"
The girls all shook their heads, only Sima Jing stared at Hui Chengyuan without saying a word.
"Why, have you served anyone?" Yuan Man stared at Sima Jing.
Sima Jing immediately shook her head, "No, not yet."
"I, can you please rescue me? I will definitely reward you handsomely."
When she said this, Yuan Man sat up straighter. "Oh, what kind of reward?"
At this time she confirmed that this girl should be Sima Jing.
Sima Jing glanced at the others and said, "I, I was drugged and sold in. I have a good family background. If you can rescue me, I will definitely reward you handsomely."
Yuan Man waved her hand to let the other girls go out. She was not worried that they would go and complain. After all, the Yuanyang Pavilion was hers, so she was not afraid if they complained.
"Okay, let's write a document as proof."
Sima Jing was stunned. Do we need a written agreement for this?
This is the first time I heard that saving someone requires the other party to sign a document.
