After traveling through time, I was spotted by the new emperor

Chapter 223 Visitors to Hibiscus Pavilion

Hibiscus Court

Furong Pavilion is a brothel. Its scale is far smaller than Yanyuntai, but its business is no worse than Yanyuntai.

Because the best singing, best playing, best dancing and rumored most beautiful brothel girls in Chamdo are all gathered in Furong Pavilion.

At 5 p.m. on this day, a guest wearing a veiled hat came to Furong Pavilion.

He asked for a private room, sat down, took a gold bar and placed it on the table, "I have something to ask your madam."

The host took the gold bars and left.

A while later, a woman in her thirties appeared in the private room.

The woman looked at the newcomer and said, "Sir, I heard you were looking for me?"

The visitor took off the veil on his head.

Seeing the person coming, the madam was stunned for a moment.

The person who came was Ye Wuwei.

Ye Hongxia once told Ye Wuwei that Furong Pavilion was Ye Changtian's property, and if Ye Wuwei needed help from her, he could go to the madam of Furong Pavilion.

The reason why the madam was startled was because Ye Wuwei and Ye Hongxia looked too similar.

"Master Ye."

Hearing the madam address him like that, Ye Wuwei said, "It seems Ye Hongxia has told you about me."

"Yes, Master Ye once instructed: If you come to us, we will do our best to help you wherever we can."

Ye Wuwei didn't expect Ye Hongxia to instruct the madam like this. He thought Ye Hongxia just instructs the madam to deliver a message or something like that.

"I do have something I want to ask you for help with."

"Master, please give me your instructions."

"I heard that the Minister of Personnel's eldest son, Yan Shifan, often comes here?"

"Yes, Master Yan comes every two or three days."

"Who does he come here to see most often?"

"More than half of the girls in the building have served him, but he orders Hibiscus, Peony, and Begonia the most."

Ye Wuwei always felt that the madam's words were a little strange, but he couldn't find out what was strange at the moment.

"How much does Yan Shifan spend with you?"

"Master Yan is generous."

"How much did you spend last year?"

The madam hesitated for a moment before saying, "No less than ten thousand taels of silver."

The Minister of Personnel was a second-rank official, and his annual salary and benefits only added up to a little over four thousand taels, while his son alone spent no less than ten thousand taels on brothels. This was truly...

The madam looked at Ye Wuwei:

"Sir, each industry has its own rules.

Although Master Yan spent a lot of money at Furong Pavilion, Furong Pavilion's account book would not record it that way. It would only record Furong's income and Mudan's income...

Moreover, not all of this 10,000 taels went into Furong Pavilion's account; half was given as a reward to an individual."

"Give it to someone?"

"Son..."

The madam hesitated to speak.

"It's not convenient to say?"

"No.

Young Master Yan has some personal quirks, so the girls will inevitably feel uncomfortable after receiving him, so they need to rest for a few days.

One time, Chunhong angered him for some reason and was punished by him. She then rested for a month."

Ye Wuwei frowned: "You guys are just going to let him do whatever he wants?"

"You may not know, sir, guests like Master Yan are not isolated cases. As long as they don't go too far, we generally won't interfere.

Besides, no matter how much trouble he has to go through, Master Yan is generous and there are girls who are willing to do it."

That means there are still girls who are unwilling.

"Where's Ye Hongxia? Does she know about these things? Doesn't she care?"

"If she wasn't desperate, which girl would be willing to come to a place like Furong Pavilion to make a living?

Now that we are here, we must endure some punishments.

Moreover, compared with other brothels, Mr. Ye treats the girls very well, and the brothel pays for their medical treatment and medicine.

If the girls are too old and ugly to serve the guests, they will be given a place to stay.”

Hearing the madam say this, Ye Wuyi was speechless for a moment.

The Qi Dynasty was not the modern era. Brothels were legal and working as brothel girls was a profession.

Seeing Ye Wuwei remained silent, the madam asked, "What else do you want to know, sir?"

Ye Wuwei came back to his senses: "You mean that Furong Pavilion can't provide Yan Shifan's consumption list?"

"Spending list?"

"It's his spending record at Hibiscus Pavilion."

"Yes, Furong Pavilion cannot prove it."

Ye Wuwei began to think again.

After a while, Ye Wuwei said, "Next time Yan Shifan comes, can you send someone to notify me?"

"If nothing unexpected happens, Yan Shifan will be here today. If you don't have anything else to do, you may as well wait here."

"That's fine."

"Sir, do you need to call a girl?"

"No, I'll be in this private room. If Yan Shifan comes, let me know."

The madam agreed and left.
