Xiao Hanqi asked doubtfully, "About five or six years. Are you sure?"

Zhong Lixue smiled and nodded, then said to Xiao Hanqi, "I can confirm this matter. But if it's not that person, then I don't know who it is."

Xiao Hanqi nodded and said to Zhong Lixue, "Take me there!"

Zhonglixue walked out helplessly. As soon as she opened the door, Xiaoyi almost fell on her. Zhonglixue sneered at Xiaoyi and said, "Xiaoyi, are you afraid that I will eat him or that he will eat me?"

Xiao Yi looked at Zhong Lixue awkwardly, then looked at Xiao Hanqi, and said, "No, no, no, I'm not afraid."

Zhongli Xue sneered and went out directly, leaving Xiao Yi standing at the door.

When Xiao Yi saw Zhong Li Xue leave, he hurriedly entered the room and looked Xiao Hanqi up and down. He was relieved to find that Xiao Hanqi's clothes were neat and tidy and there was no change. Xiao Hanqi looked at Xiao Yi.

Xiao Hanqi said to Xiao Yi angrily, "Go find someone. We'll go catch him!"

Xiao Yi excitedly said to Xiao Hanqi, "Master, have you found the person?"

Xiao Hanqi looked at Xiao Yi helplessly, and said to him, "Just go as soon as I tell you to go. Why are you talking so much nonsense?"

After hearing Xiao Hanqi's message, Xiao Yi was so scared that he didn't dare to say anything and went straight to find someone!

As soon as Xiao left, Xiao Hanqi took the tea in his hand and pushed open the window of the room.

The breeze blew, and the fragrance of flowers came from the garden outside the building, which made people intoxicated. The windows of the flower building opposite were half-closed, and through the gauze, you could see the graceful figures of the women inside. They were either singing and dancing, or playing the piano, and the singing and piano music were melodious and floating in the night sky.

In the streets in the distance, people were coming and going, and it was very lively. The vendors were shouting out various items, and the guests were enjoying the bustling nightlife in the brothel. In this noisy atmosphere, the brothel was like a bright pearl, emitting charming light and attracting countless people's attention.

Xiao Hanqi took a sip of tea and thought that this might be the most complicated place in Kyoto. Here no one would ask about your origins, nor would they care whether you had committed any crime. As long as you had money, you could vent your feelings here.

Just as Xiao Hanqi finished the tea in his hand, Zhong Lixue brought a person. This person was a middle-aged man with a slender figure and elegant temperament. He was always dressed so decently, a dark robe with exquisite embroidery, showing his extraordinary status. His face was kind and serious, and his eyes revealed intelligence and wit.

Zhong Lixue said to Xiao Hanqi, "This is Ah Xiang, the housekeeper of Liuxiang. He knows everything about the brothel, whether it is the layout of the building or the habits of the girls. He takes good care of each girl and pays attention to their daily life and emotional needs. Under his management, the brothel always maintains a unique order and atmosphere."

A Xiang looked at Xiao Hanqi and knew that Xiao Hanqi's identity must be extraordinary, because Zhong Lixue would not bring an ordinary person to his own room. A Xiang dealt with guests all year round, so he knew that Xiao Hanqi's identity was extraordinary.

Ah Xiang smiled and said to Xiao Hanqi, "Sir, what do you want to know?"

Xiao Hanqi looked at Zhong Lixue, and Zhong Lixue said to A Xiang, "A Xiang, this gentleman is looking for someone."

Ah Xiang looked at Zhong Lixue in surprise and asked, "Who is it?"

Zhong Lixue told A Xiang who Xiao Hanqi was looking for, and also told A Xiang who he knew might be the person. A Xiang smiled and said to Xiao Hanqi, "This gentleman is looking for the uncle surnamed Cao."

As soon as Xiao Hanqi heard the last name Cao, he knew it was the person he was looking for, and nodded to A Xiang. A Xiang smiled and said to Xiao Hanqi, "Okay, sure. Then sir, come with me to take a look."

Xiao Hanqi nodded and stood up. Zhong Lixue saw that the two were about to leave, and said to A Xiang, "A Xiang, you go with this gentleman. I won't go."

Ah Xiang smiled and nodded and said, "Okay, then don't worry."

After saying this, Ah Xiang made a "please" gesture to Xiao Hanqi. Xiao Hanqi was the first to leave Zhong Lixue's room. As soon as he left Zhong Lixue's room, he could see drunkards and girls from brothels everywhere.

But when they saw Ah Xiang, the girls in the brothel all said to him respectfully, "Master Xiang, how are you?"

Ah Xiang also nodded to everyone. Xiao Hanqi looked at Ah Xiang and thought to himself, "This person is really amazing."

Soon A Xiang took Xiao Hanqi away from Liuxue Pavilion. As soon as Xiao Hanqi went out, he saw Xiao Yi and others.

Ah Xiang looked at the people brought by Xiao Yi and said to Xiao Hanqi, "Sir, we have a rule in Liuxiang. That is, we will never fight here. Please understand."

Xiao Hanqi nodded and said to Ah Xiang, "I know this. Don't worry, I won't do anything here."

Ah Xiang nodded and said, "Okay, then please follow me, sir."

Xiao Hanqi nodded and motioned Xiao Yi to follow.

A Xiang quickly brought Xiao Hanqi and others to an inconspicuous brothel.

This flower building is hidden in a corner of Liuxiang, which is in sharp contrast with the prosperous scenes in other places in Liuxiang. Its architectural style is slightly old, and the walls are peeling, revealing traces of bricks and stones. The vermilion gate is slightly mottled, and a few shabby lanterns are hung on it, swaying in the wind.

Ah Xiang said to Xiao Hanqi, "This is it, you can do whatever you want, I won't go in."

Xiao Hanqi bowed to Ah Xiang and said, "Thank you!"

After Ah Xiang finished speaking, he left. Xiao Hanqi and Xiao Yi walked into the flower house. The first thing that caught their eyes was a spacious courtyard with stone slabs on the ground and dilapidated walls around it. There were several stone tables and stone benches in the courtyard, which looked quite old.

The main building of the flower house has three floors, each floor has several rooms, the windows of the rooms are closed, revealing a mysterious atmosphere. Under the eaves hang faded cloth strips, gently fluttering in the wind. The stairs are shaky, as if they may collapse at any time.

Overall, this flower building gives people a dilapidated and desolate feeling, as if it carries countless stories and vicissitudes.

Xiao Yi said to Xiao Hanqi in surprise, "This is really Liuxiang."

Xiao Hanqi nodded and said to Xiao Yi, "Speak softly, we are looking for someone."

As soon as Xiao Hanqi finished speaking, he saw an old woman in gorgeous clothes, heavy makeup and a plump figure walking towards him.

The old woman looked Xiao Hanqi up and down, and said to him, "Did you come to the wrong place, sir? Or do you want to find someone older?"

The old woman's words almost made Xiao Yi laugh out loud. He quickly covered his mouth, fearing that he would make any sound!
