That night, Zhao Xian took two hundred Yulin guards to seal up the largest brothel in the city.

Coincidentally, when they were closing down the brothel, they accidentally bumped into several officials who were visiting prostitutes.

Although these few are not in the middle of the class, but in the end, they are also eating public food. Now they are caught, and they are so scared that they are fighting, and their faces are white.

It was quite a big deal.

The county magistrate was alarmed. He crawled out of the bed in the middle of the night, put on clothes randomly, and rushed out in a hurry.

He originally thought that the old account of Baihualou had been turned over, but when he arrived at the scene and asked others, he realized that the reason for the closure of Baihualou was actually the eldest prince.

Zhao Xian, dressed in military uniform, rode on a horse and looked down at the seventh-rank magistrate in front of him.

"Do you know that the first prince started to have stomach troubles after drinking here tonight, and the imperial doctor diagnosed the cause in Baihualou."

The county magistrate's face paled.

He tried to defend Baihualou.

As a result, just two words were said, when Zhao Xian interrupted impatiently.

"As an official of the imperial court, you actually speak for a brothel. Could it be that you have something to do with this brothel?"

The county magistrate smiled embarrassedly: "The general can really joke, how could the lower official have anything to do with Baihualou?"

In the middle of the night, it was when the brothel was open, and now Yu Linwei was arrested like this, and all the prostitutes and clients in the brothel were caught.

The madam cried and shouted, wishing to roll all over the floor, but unfortunately it was useless, the Yulin guards didn't even look at her.

Zhao Xian originally planned to seal up Baihualou and leave, but the performance of the magistrate just now made Zhao Xian feel that this brothel seemed to be hiding something else.

So Zhao Xian Duo became more careful, and he had the prostitute arrested, and also searched Baihua Lou from the inside out.

Seeing this, the county magistrate couldn't help but say: "This Baihualou has been sealed up, and everyone has been arrested, so there is no need to conduct a special search, right?"

Zhao Xian sat on the horse and ignored him.

Soon, a Yu Linwei came out with a stack of account books.

"General, these are the account books found in Baihualou, please take a look."

Zhao Xian took the account and flipped through it casually.

Just happened to turn to the page with the county magistrate's name on it.

This Baihualou will raise 30% of the income from the income to the county magistrate every month.

This is no small sum.

Zhao Xian closed the account and sneered at the magistrate: "No wonder you maintain Baihualou so much, it turns out to be a nest of snakes and rats."

He ignored the county magistrate's defense and waved his hand directly, asking people to detain the magistrate and wait for the prince's disposal.

Luo Qinghan is still in the inn right now.

After confirming that the first prince was fine, he returned to his room.

Xiao Xixi was still asleep, completely unaware that the people around her had left for a while.

Luo Qinghan lay down beside her and took her into his arms.

It didn't take long for Zhao Xian to return with someone.

Luo Qinghan got up again.

It was still dark outside at this time, but the long-established biological clock let him know that it would be dawn soon, so he didn't plan to continue sleeping, and let someone wait for him to change and wash.

After he finished grooming, Zhao Xian walked in and said respectfully.

"Reporting to His Royal Highness, the last general has sealed Baihualou and found some account books, please take a look."

He put a stack of account books in front of the prince.

Luo Qinghan picked up the account book on the top, turned it page by page, and soon saw the name of the county magistrate.

His movements paused slightly, and then continued to turn back.

There are several places in the back where the name of the county magistrate is written.

After reading this account book, Luo Qinghan said calmly, "Go check the relationship between this county magistrate and Baihualou."

"Here."

Originally, they planned to leave at dawn today, but because of the incident of Baihualou, and the fact that the eldest prince was still ill and could not leave for the time being, they could only stay here for two more days.

When Xiao Xixi woke up, it was already bright outside.

She got up and found that she was alone in the room.

When the maid waiting outside heard the movement, she immediately pushed the door and walked in, and began to wait for Concubine Xiao to change and wash.

Xiao Xixi asked, "Where's the prince?"

A palace maid answered truthfully: "His Royal Highness has gone to the county office."

"Why did he go to the county office?"

"I heard that it was because the local magistrate had something bad to do with Baihualou. The prince went to the county office to hear the case in person. Before leaving, the prince ordered you to stay in the inn and not go anywhere."

Xiao Xixi didn't want to stay in the station.

She wants to find the prince, and she has to watch the prince at all times, lest the prince encounter an accident.

At this moment, Zhao Meiren came over.

"Sister Xiao, have you heard about what happened last night?"

Xiao Xixi stuffed the meat buns in her mouth, and responded casually: "What's the matter?"

Zhao Meiren: "Last night, the eldest prince was ill. Because he ate unclean things in Baihualou, the prince was enraged to have Baihualou sealed, and incidentally, it was found that Baihualou was involved with the local magistrate."

Xiao Xixi was stunned, that's what happened!

Unexpectedly, so many things happened outside while she was asleep.

Zhao Meiren asked expectantly: "Sister Xiao, the prince is not in the inn today, so it doesn't matter if we stay here, why don't we go out for a walk together?"

Xiao Xixi asked inexplicably, "Didn't you go out with the eldest prince yesterday? Why do you still go shopping today?"

Zhao Meiren gets angry when she thinks of what happened yesterday, but she still pretends to be nothing and smiles.

"Yesterday, the eldest prince went out to drink, and he didn't accompany me much. Besides, I'm not familiar with him, so it's embarrassing to stay with him."

Xiao Xixi: "But I'm not very familiar with you either. Wouldn't it be embarrassing for us to stay together?"

Zhao Meiren choked.

It took a lot of effort for her to keep the fake smile on her face.

"Look at what my sister said, we are all people around the prince, and we usually live in the East Palace. How can we not know each other?"

Xiao Xixi said with a straight face: "But we haven't said a few words before. If it wasn't for the prince who took you out this time, I would have almost forgotten that there is someone like you in the East Palace."

Zhao Meiren: "..."

Zhao Meiren gritted her teeth, her fingers tightly gripping the silk handkerchief, almost tearing the handkerchief.

Her presence in the East Palace is indeed very low, but there is no need to say this in person, right?

Concubine Xiao is just hitting her in the face!

Xiao Xixi: "Why is your face so ugly? Did you eat the same thing as the eldest prince? Would you like the imperial doctor to show you?"

Zhao Meiren forcefully squeezed two words between her teeth: "No, use it."

Xiao Xixi is not reluctant, since she said no, then no need.

Zhao Meiren asked again without giving up: "Are you sure you don't want to go out?"
