I played as an assistant in ancient times

Chapter 168 Taking care of things

Shen Xiaoye did not refuse anymore, and stood on both sides with him, looking for clues.

Later, Bian Mi came again and told the location. There are so many alleys in the capital, God knows how he found it so accurately.

One more person means more strength. After going around several places, they finally came to Goulan Hutong in Xianyifang.

At that time, brothels were mainly places for singing and performances, which were very different from the brothels mentioned in the market. The appearance fees were expensive.

Although this place is not as lively as the Jiaofangsi in the East City, it is located in a place where nobles and high-ranking officials gather. It is elegant and quiet, and it really attracts many people.

But places like this were mostly gatherings and banquets for men, and Sun Mi was determined not to let Shen Xiaoye in.

However, most people respect the lady first and then the person. When Bian Xian walked up the stairs dressed in plain clothes, no one welcomed him.

"Hehe, you look down on people." Shen Xiaoye saw the little black cat sticking its head out from the roof, and immediately walked into the door, holding a tael of silver between his fingers.

The gatekeeper stretched out his hand to take it, but was slapped away by Bian Xian, "My young master's silver is not something you can afford."

As he said this, he took out some coins from his pocket and threw them to the gatekeeper.

Then he bowed respectfully to Shen Xiaoye and said, "Sir, please come in."

The gatekeepers were not afraid at all. They grabbed the coins but stretched out their hands to block them again. “Thank you for the reward, sir.”

They all often hang out in brothels, and if you look carefully it is easy to tell whether Shen Xiaoye is a man or a woman.

Of course, this cannot be blamed on her for not acting seriously. It is just that her appearance is becoming more and more feminine, without any neutral tendencies.

Shen Xiaoye looked at the hands that were extended by several people, and said to Bian Xian who seemed to be angry with a chuckle, "Go, find the people from the West City Military Department. They said that there is a group of bandits in Gushan who are lurking here."

"Yes." Bian Xian turned around and was about to leave, but the gatekeepers quickly put on smiles and two of them even jumped out to stop him from leaving.

The other two said to Shen Xiaoye, "Sir, you are joking."

"Open the curtain." Shen Xiaoye only uttered two words coldly, and threw a tael of silver to the left: "Brother Bian, use it to buy wine."

"Thank you, sir." Bian Xian caught it immediately, and he could tell from the action of throwing the silver that Shen Xiaoye was quite capable.

The two entered the brothel smoothly. Sun Mi, who was guarding in the distance, couldn't help but frown. He just remembered that there was already a conflict at the door when the two entered without changing clothes. Now they were afraid that they would attract a lot of people's attention as soon as they entered.

But he didn't know that Shen Xiaoye was not worried about becoming the focus. When someone came to greet her, she said, "I'll find someone to go to the corridor in the back."

"Girl, we don't allow noise here." The middle-aged female manager said with a smile, wondering in her heart whose family sent a child to arrest people.

Shen Xiaoye glanced at her and said, "Just lead the way."

Then he leaned to her side, and suddenly a spinning willow-leaf-thin flying knife appeared in his hand, and it was spinning towards her abdomen.

The female manager's face changed slightly, but her good manners immediately came into play. She continued to smile and patted her cheek lightly, saying, "Please forgive me, sir. I was blind and did not recognize the great man."

It was terrible. He was being held on both sides by the little girl and her companions. Shouting for help would definitely anger them.

The hostess calmly invited them to go through the hall to the courtyard. This scene happened to be seen by people on the second floor, but none of the brothel guests who came to the brothel before noon said a word.

On the contrary, some people took advantage of their proximity to the hall and opened the windows to watch the fun, while those who accompanied and performed the music did their duty well and did not say much.

Shen Xiaoye could sense that someone was staring at her, but she just looked up and the person behind the window waved at her.

Of course, her main purpose was not to look at people, but to look at the little black cat on the rooftop transmitting messages. "He is right in the middle of the water. I can't get any closer to him."

"Who's with him?" Shen Xiaoye wanted to ask but didn't say it out loud. She approached the water and saw a boat on the water, so she turned her head and asked Bian Xian, "Can we go see the scenery? Let's go boating."

When Bian Xian nodded, the female manager reminded him, "You can't afford to offend the people in the waterside pavilion."

"Who is it?" Shen Xiaoye retracted her foot and did not argue.

The female manager shook her head: "I dare not speak."

"Is it the emperor?" Shen Xiaoye asked a few words. Bian Xian and the female manager looked around at the same time, their movements were very consistent.

The female manager finally showed a panicked look, "Don't be scared, young lady, there is a manager of a noble family inside."

"Which company is in charge?" Shen Xiaoye asked.

The headmistress hesitated and dared not speak until Shen Xiaoye turned around and walked towards the bridge. Then she called out, "Please stay. Yes, it's a eunuch from the palace."

Shen Xiaoye stopped and turned back to ask again: "Are you serious?"

She thought to herself, could it be a spy sent by the emperor? But she quickly dismissed the idea.

The current emperor commands a million troops across the country and has investigative agencies such as the Guard Bureau, so there is no need to develop any secret agents.

Last time, Captain Zhao said that cleaning out the Northern Tartar spies and infiltrating the other side was a recent proposal by his uncle, so the so-called father-in-law that Feng Jiujian met might be a captured enemy. Yes, there are not only Dada people in the northeast, but also Jurchen people.

"Miss, please think twice." When the female manager nodded heavily, people from the pavilion came out, but there was only one person. When he walked to the center of the bridge with his waist slightly bent and his eyes lowered.

Shen Xiaoye yelled, "Master Feng Jiu?"

When Fengjiu subconsciously looked up, she said again: "Take him down."

Whoosh, Bian Xian rushed forward like flying, and Feng Jiu realized that he was about to be caught, and he reacted quickly. He ran as fast as he could, but turned around and ran backwards.

Shen Xiaoye pushed the female steward away and said, "Hide it."

The female manager almost collapsed to the ground, but she had seen a lot of situations, so when the other party left her behind, she immediately gathered her strength and ran to where there were more people.

This place is near the water and few people come here in such a cold weather, so Shen Xiao ran towards the bridge without any obstruction.

But she would never be faster than Bian Xian who chased into the water pavilion. The clinking sounds coming from inside indicated that the two had already started fighting.

She said again: "Kitty, please help."

"Meow!" The little black cat on the rockery responded and flew away.

Shen Xiaoye ran into the pavilion without stopping. It was a large room. Because it was cold, all the windows were closed.

Bian Xian and Feng Jiu just hit the window, and the latter made a feint, preparing to fly into the window and escape into the water.

Shen Xiaoye didn't care about the person who was bleeding and struggling on the table, but instead threw three willow-leaf flying knives towards Feng Jiu's retreat, and successfully prevented the other party from escaping.

This gave Bian Xian great support, and the dagger in his hand collided with Feng Jiu's short knife several times.

Both of them are very skilled in martial arts, and their weapons are as powerful as their masters in impact and attack.

Shen Xiaoye weighed her own situation and decided not to do anything that would cause trouble, but she had experience in rescuing the wounded.

During the time in Kaipingwei, she often assisted the Taoist priest, and her skills in bandaging and judging external injuries made a qualitative leap.

Although the injured person was injured in the neck, he was lucky enough not to suffer any vital injuries.
