The Prince Wants to Assassinate Me Every Day-Chapter 793 - 378 Qingfeng Building (Second Update)
Guilai Inn.
Two days have passed.
House servant Xiao Wu reported the latest findings, respectfully saying, "Master, over the past two days, we followed the Second Master. The Second Master spends most of her time at her own mansion, followed by visiting various stores owned by Anji. It is said that she personally checks on them daily. However, nothing unusual has been observed from the Second Master’s visits in the past two days."
Xiao Jinxing sat on his chair, sipping tea while listening.
His mind was rapidly processing the information.
"We have looked into the Second Master’s background; she was previously a top courtesan. Later, it’s heard that the Anji Boss took a fancy to her, bought her freedom from the brothel, and then she has been working closely with the Anji Boss ever since. By the way, I inquired around and it turns out that the Anji Boss is a woman, not a man, and it’s said that she has a child but the father is unknown."
Xiao Jinxing’s hand holding the teacup suddenly shook.
House servant Xiao Wu observed the emperor’s demeanor.
He really felt that the emperor was just overthinking.
How could one infer such an improbable scenario just from a dish of shredded potatoes?!
"Continue," Xiao Jinxing commanded coldly.
Xiao Wu couldn’t discern his master’s emotions.
He continued, "I had people inquire everywhere, and besides her own mansion and the Anji stores, the Second Master seems to frequent a luxurious mansion in the suburbs more than anywhere else, if I am not mistaken, it should be the residence of the Anji Boss. Another place she frequents is Qingfeng Building."
"Qingfeng Building?" Xiao Jinxing raised an eyebrow.
Unaware of what place it was.
"It’s a brothel." Xiao Wu said, somewhat embarrassed.
Xiao Jinxing was momentarily stunned, then nonchalantly continued drinking his tea.
"Listening to the gossip on the streets, they say that because the Second Master was a courtesan, she used to serve men and now with her changed status, she enjoys being served by men. Hence, she often visits such places and seems to be a person who knows how to enjoy life," Xiao Wu summarized.
Xiao Jinxing glanced at Xiao Wu.
Xiao Wu continued explaining, "I’ve heard that Qingfeng Building does good business. There are quite a few wealthy widows who fancy male courtesans, seeking solace there, spending generously. They also say that the male courtesans in Qingfeng Building are all exceptionally beautiful, none inferior to the courtesans in a brothel..."
"Why are you telling me this?" Xiao Jinxing interrupted Xiao Wu.
"I’m just commenting casually, marveling at the Anji Boss’s business acumen, truly catering to the customers’ tastes," Xiao Wu whispered, then couldn’t help saying, "Perhaps having a Qingfeng Building in Xun City could also be very profitable."
"Xun City is not the same as Xuzhou, where the local customs are more liberal. Many women there do not care much about the gaze of men, especially since the Anji Boss is a woman, many women take her as a role model, making women’s status even higher," Xiao Jinxing understood clearly, "Many business opportunities need to be adapted to local conditions."
"Yes," Xiao Wu nodded.
But he was indeed curious about what Qingfeng Building really looked like inside?!
Are male courtesans really the same as female ones, kneeling on the ground to serve women?!
Just the thought of it... the scene is indescribable.
"Anything else?" Xiao Jinxing asked Xiao Wu.
"That’s all," Xiao Wu quickly replied, "That’s all the information we’ve found so far."
"Go to the suburban mansion you just mentioned," Xiao Jinxing decisively said.
"Yes," Xiao Wu knew that the emperor would definitely choose this place.
Xiao Jinxing went to the suburban mansion with Xiao Wu and several guards.
A sign over the main door read "Other Shore Villa".
"What kind of name is that for a mansion?" Xiao Wu was quite amazed.
The more he learned about the Anji Boss, the more unique he found her to be.
Always surprising people.
And making people even more curious.
Forget the emperor not wanting to return to the palace, he felt that if he didn’t meet the Anji Boss on this trip, he would regret it for a lifetime.
Xiao Jinxing also took a few extra glances at the mansion sign, then signaled Xiao Wu to knock on the door.
The gate opened.
A housekeeper asked, "May I ask who the gentleman is looking for?"
"Anji Boss," Xiao Jinxing stated directly.
The housekeeper replied, "Sir, you are mistaken; there is no Anji Boss here."
With that, he moved to close the door.
As soon as this happened, Xiaowu directly braced against the door, preventing it from being closed.
The housekeeper, lacking the strength to match Xiaowu, had to let go, then threatened, "Intruding into a private residence is against the law. If the young master continues this tyranny, I will certainly report to the authorities."
Xiaowu, as if he hadn’t heard the housekeeper at all, had already swung the door wide open.
Waiting for Xiao Jinxing to enter.
The housekeeper, naturally, could not let them succeed.
"Come people, someone is intruding into our mansion, stop them all!"
A command was issued.
Instantly, numerous thug-like house servants surged out from inside the mansion, totalling no less than fifty people.
Xiao Jinxing remained unflustered, with Xiaowu standing in front of him.
Naturally, he himself did not need to lift a finger.
Just as dozens of people with clubs were a few steps away, ten Hidden Guards appeared from nowhere, blocking them. In the next moment, they fiercely clashed with the thug-like house servants.
It lasted less than the time of one incense stick.
All dozens of them were defeated.
The Hidden Guards disappeared in an instant.
The housekeeper, facing this scene, was terrified.
He hesitated for a long time, not daring to speak.
Xiao Jinxing did not bother with him and led Xiaowu straight to the hall, ordering the accompanying guards to search everywhere.
After a while.
All the guards returned to report.
They brought out all the people from the mansion.
"Everyone is here?" Xiao Jinxing asked.
"All the people in the mansion are here, without exception," the guard respectfully replied.
Xiao Jinxing glanced once and turned to look at the housekeeper who had opened the door, "Where is the master?"
"The master left early in the morning."
"Where did he go?" Xiao Jinxing asked.
"This servant truly does not know. The master never informs us servants about his whereabouts. Please, young master, do not make things difficult for this servant, this servant begs you," saying this, the housekeeper knelt on the ground.
Apparently realizing that he could not provoke these people.
Xiao Jinxing’s eyes narrowed.
So unresisting?!
This was completely different from what he wanted to see.
And the thugs in the mansion were also easily defeated.
"Let’s go," Xiao Jinxing suddenly stood up and left.
Xiaowu was startled. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢
That’s it, no interrogation?!
Perhaps using torture could still extract some information.
They walked out of the mansion.
Xiaowu sighed, "Finding this Boss Anji is really not easy. What is it about her that she cannot show in public? Could it be that she is too ugly to show her true face?!"
Xiao Jinxing was silent, not listening to what Xiaowu was saying.
His eyes suddenly tightened, and he asked, "You said, Yan Jinyao often goes to Qingfeng Building?"
"Yes," Xiaowu hurriedly answered.
"We’re going to Qingfeng Building," Xiao Jinxing stated directly.
Xiaowu paused for a moment, then loudly said, "Master, that is a place for women!"
That’s exactly why we are going.
