Started as a mute girl? I prospered in the lean years

The young man ran to Boss Jiang, took two deep breaths, and said, "Just now on South Street, I met an old woman. She said she had seen the person in the portrait!"

Boss Jiang was so happy that he couldn't speak. He wanted to ask something but couldn't think of anything for a moment. Jiang Huaixu asked: "Where is this old woman now? Did you tell me where you saw the person in the portrait?"

"Yes, yes, can you introduce him to us?" Boss Jiang said continuously.

The young beggar didn't show off, and said neatly: "The old woman has left, but I have already asked clearly. The old woman said that the lame woman in the portrait is in the Zangchun Building on South Street."

"What, what lameness?" Boss Jiang couldn't react for a moment and asked with his eyes widened.

After all, the beggar boy had never seen the woman in the portrait with his own eyes, and he couldn't tell her anything, so he had to repeat what the old woman said in detail.

What Boss Jiang cares about is the lameness, but what Jiang Huaixu and Yun Qi care about is the name 'Cangchun Tower'.

No matter how you taste it, it has an immodest meaning.

"Do you know what Zangchun Tower does? Is it a brothel?" Jiang Huaixu asked Yun Qi in a low voice.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Huaixu even knew about the brothel. Yun Qi's expression froze, "Do you know about the brothel?"

Jiang Huaixu asked naturally: "Is it possible that you don't know?"

Yun Qi was speechless. He knew it was normal, but for Jiang Huaixu, a little girl who had never been out of Ping'an Town, it was unusual for her to know that it was a brothel just by hearing its name?

"Zangchun Tower is indeed a brothel, and it is very famous in Yaozhou City."

"Uncle Jiang, you may not know what kind of place Zangchun Tower is. This is a place that we ordinary people are not allowed to go to..."

"Can't we go?" Boss Jiang, whose eyes turned red after finding out that his sister had become lame, asked, "Why can't we go?"

Before the beggar boy could answer, Jiang Huaixu said first, "Dad, Yun Qishu, this place, asked him to take me to my aunt, and you just wait here to pay the people who come back, do you think so?"

"Xiao Qi has some skills?"

Unexpectedly taking the blame for being familiar with brothels, Yun Qi nodded with difficulty under the gazes of father and daughter.

Boss Jiang's face showed joy, "Then I will leave my little girl to you. Please bear with her if she does anything wrong."

"Uncle Jiang is serious."

After the two of them finished speaking, Jiang Huaixu winked at the beggar boy.

The beggar boy cleverly followed Jiang Huaixu and left.

"Your aunt should be a good citizen, why did she end up in a brothel?"

Jiang Huaixu is also thinking about this. The most likely possibility now is that there is a problem with Jiang Tao's husband's family, and this problem has only emerged recently.

If there were problems with Jiang Tao's husband's family from the beginning, and she had been married for so many years, it would only make sense that Boss Jiang cared so much about this sister that he didn't notice it at all. It only made sense that something had happened recently.

"I don't know, I'll find out if I go and take a look. Do you have your own people in Yaozhou City?"

Yun Qi didn't hide it, "Yes, but it has nothing to do with Zangchun Tower."

Without asking why Yun Qi still followed them, Jiang Huaixu said, "I'll change my clothes later and follow you in. Is that reliable?"

Yun Qi glanced at Jiang Huaixu's small body and said, "It's not very reliable. Even for a book boy, you look too young."

It was said very tactfully, but Jiang Huaixu couldn't help but give him a sideways look.

Isn’t it amazing how tall you are?

"I'll sneak into the backyard of Zangchun House. You go to the girl in front to find out the news."

Yun Qi was inexplicably angry and said with a cold expression, "I never go to prostitutes."

"Young Master Yun is so upright and upright!" Jiang Huaixu said without hesitation, "Such an excellent moral character deserves everyone's praise. It's just that you are looking for information from a girl, not a prostitute. There is a world of difference. Master Yun, please don't let your imagination run wild."

After thinking about it, Jiang Huaixu added, "You'd better not let me coerce you into saving my life."

Yun Qi snorted coldly and didn't want to talk anymore. He had never seen such a sharp-tongued little girl.

The beggar boy following them heard the conversation between the two very closely. He never expected that the dark and skinny little girl would save the young man who looked very noble, so he couldn't help but take a closer look. Jiang Huaixu.

"I dare to ask this little brother, is there any dog ​​hole in Zangchun Tower that people can drill into?"

Jiang Huaixu didn't think much about it, he just felt that beggars and the like should be familiar with such nooks and crannies.

Unexpectedly, as soon as these words came out, both people present started to cough.

Jiang Huaixu took a step back and covered his mouth and nose, for fear of being infected with bad germs.

The beggar boy who was looking at Jiang Huaixu choked on his own saliva and coughed twice. After he recovered, he whispered: "Yes, yes...if you want to go, girl, I can take you there."

After receiving a positive reply, Jiang Huaixu said to Yun Qi: "You go in through the front door yourself, and this little brother and I will go explore the backyard and act accordingly."

Yun Qi nodded slightly, resisting the urge to look at Jiang Huaixu.

It was still daytime when the three of them walked to Zangchun Tower. There were not many customers in front of Zangchun Tower, but they were all merchants or dignitaries in brocade clothes, and there was already an endless stream of their carriages and horses alone. You can imagine what a bustling scene it will be when the lanterns come on after dark.

Separating from Yun Qi at the door, Jiang Huaixu followed the beggar boy and walked half a circle around Zangchun Tower, finally stopping on the path along the river.

"The dog hole is blocked by these logs. I don't know if it is blocked inside. Someone tried to get in here before, but got stuck halfway up. There were a lot of people watching at that time."

Jiang Huaixu wanted to laugh when he thought of a scene where a person's head was inside, but his buttocks were exposed and he could not move forward or retreat.

"I'll move the wood away first. If you can get in later, you can wait on the corner for now. If you don't see me out half an hour before curfew, tell my dad to leave the city first."

The beggar boy agreed and bent down to help Jiang Huaixu move the wood. However, he saw that the wood in Jiang Huaixu's hand seemed to be weightless. After moving it, it moved a distance for her to come in and out, and then it was stacked up again.

While he was stunned, Jiang Huaixu was already preparing to drill the hole.

When she got to the point, she looked at the beggar boy and said, "Do you want money, or do you want the unique thank-you gift I mentioned?"

The reason why she asked this was because she felt that the mirror that the young man wanted was of no use. After getting it, she still had to go to the pawn shop to exchange it for silver. What if she met a shameless businessman who wasted her 'unique thank you gift'?

There is no middleman to make the difference, which is good for both her and the boy.

The young man held the corner of his clothes and asked carefully: "Can you give me some money? My brother is sick, and I want to use the money to treat him."

"How much silver do you think is appropriate?" Jiang Huaixu asked.

Subconsciously, he wanted to examine the character of the young man in front of him.

The young beggar looked troubled. He hesitated for a long time and then asked softly: "How about ten taels of silver?"
