But the more no problem there was, the more it made him feel a little uneasy.

After all, Fang Wenhan died mysteriously, and Liu Niang disappeared out of thin air. If there was no secret behind this, I wouldn't believe it even if I beat him to death.

"How long has she been at the Sleeping Fragrance Pavilion? Has she interacted with other girls or customers?"

Su Fei stopped and looked at Gao Feng.

"According to the people at the Sleeping Fragrance Pavilion, Liu Niang was redeemed by Prefect Fang after only staying for half a year. She has a somewhat cold temperament. She has always been a loner and doesn't like to get close to other girls. Except for Prefect Fang, she has never been seen getting close to other guests."

"In the past six months, she has been studying poetry and poetry in a brothel, but she doesn't have many friends."

Gao Feng replied quickly.

But when the official asked someone to question her, the madam seemed a little vague, as if she was hiding something."

"Vague?"

Su Fei's eyes flashed with a sharp light.

"It seems that Sleeping Fragrance Pavilion really needs to go there."

Gao Feng Answer the call immediately.

"I'm going to arrange carriages and horses now, and call a few more constables to follow."

"No need."

Su Fei interrupted him.

"Let's change into casual clothes and don't make any noise. You are a fellow Heaven-Answering Prefecture. If you wear official uniform to a brothel, you will inevitably attract attention. I don't want Imperial Guard's identity to alert too many people. Keep a low profile and it will be easier to find out the truth."

Gao Feng After thinking about it, this is indeed the truth, and nodded quickly.

"Your Majesty, please think carefully. I'll go change my clothes now. We'll meet at the gate of the government office in half an hour."

Half an hour later, both of them changed into casual clothes. Instead of riding horses, they walked towards the west of the city.

Heaven-Answering Prefecture is particularly lively in the early morning. The breakfast stalls on the street are steaming, vendors carrying goods are selling along the street, and children are chasing and fighting in the alleys, creating a bustling atmosphere.

Walking to Rouge Alley in the west of the city, you can see the Sleeping Fragrance Pavilion sign from a distance.

The vermilion wooden sign was engraved with gilt characters, and two maids in pink dresses stood at the door. When they saw someone coming, they immediately came up to them with a smile.

"Please, two gentlemen, please come in. We just made lotus seed soup in the building this morning. Do you want to try it?"

Lotus seed soup? Seafood flavored lotus seed soup?

Gao Feng took a step forward.

"We are here to look for someone. Six months ago, there was a girl named Liu Niang in your building who was ransomed. We are her distant relatives and want to ask for news about her."

The smile on the maid's face paused, her eyes flickered, and she quickly turned around and shouted.

"Mom, a visitor asked about Liu Niang, it seems he is a relative of hers."

Soon, an old madam wearing a purple brocade skirt walked out quickly and looked Su Fei and Gao Feng up and down.

Some hesitation.

"Are you two relatives of Liu Niang? She was ransomed by Prefect Fang half a year ago. I heard that something happened to Prefect Fang, but she never came back. We don't know her whereabouts. Only last night did the government come to ask questions."

"When she was redeemed by Prefect Fang with money, I don't know how many girls envied her. Who could have imagined that something like this would happen later."

Su Fei stood aside, saying nothing, and just glanced at the madam's hand with the corner of his eye.

Her fingers twisted the handkerchief subconsciously, obviously feeling unnaturally nervous.

Looking at the maid behind her, her eyes were a little dodgey.

There is definitely a problem.

"What mom said is untrue."

Su Fei suddenly spoke, his voice was flat but somewhat oppressive, and he was talking nonsense.

"We heard that when Liu Niang was in the building, besides Prefect Fang, were there other customers who often came to see her? And before she was ransomed by Prefect Fang, she secretly met with other customers, right?"

The madam's expression changed instantly and she pretended to be calm.

"Guest, please don't say this nonsense. Liu Niang has a withdrawn personality. There are no other familiar guests."

"Really?"

Su Fei took a step forward, Grandmaster Realm the warrior's aura erupted, covering the bustard.

"If mother refuses to tell the truth, then we have to go to Heaven-Answering Prefecture Office and ask someone from the government to ask in person."

"Prefect Fang is involved. He is an official of the imperial court. His case is not a trivial matter."

The old bustard was enveloped by the aura of the Su Fei warrior, his face turned completely pale, and he felt as if he had turned into a small boat in the midst of a stormy sea.

Then there is the danger of overturning.

I almost lost my mind.

"Your Majesty, please calm down. Your Majesty is a warrior. He has something to say. He has something to say."

"There is just one thing that is easy to talk to your guest."

"Once Liu Niang was bumped into by the Eldest Young Master of the Hai Family who was walking the wrong way in the building. Eldest Young Master of the Hai Family immediately regarded Liu Niang as Celestial Person and began to pester Liu Niang."

"Eldest Young Master Hai came to me again and again, saying that he wanted to redeem himself as a concubine for Liu Niang."

"It's just that the money he gave was not enough. It was just an ordinary brothel girl's ransom money, which was not enough to redeem Liu Niang. Moreover, although Eldest Young Master of the Hai Family's family is rich, he is ugly, and Liu Niang doesn't like Eldest Young Master of the Hai Family, so naturally I won't allow him."

"When I was worried about this matter."

"Then something happened, but the matter was solved perfectly, that is, Hai Family had an accident and was caught in a fire overnight. The whole family, Eldest Young Master Hai, and the servants were all burned to death by the fire, and not even a single person escaped alive."

"From then on, I was a little frightened and avoided Liu Niang. Later, when Liu Niang made his debut, he was spotted by Prefect Fang and wanted to redeem Liu Niang. I immediately agreed."

Gao Feng was a little surprised. Even though he, a colleague, was not from a criminal background, he could see that there was something fishy about the Hai Family.

The detective he sent didn't ask these questions, so he felt he had lost face.

"It's such an important matter. Last night, the government police came to ask why you didn't tell me."

The madam whispered.

"The government police came to ask about Liu Niang. I didn't dare to say anything for fear of getting involved. Besides, the fire case was quickly determined to be an accident by the government."

Gao Feng is still dragging and chattering.

Su Fei is thinking in his heart.

His parents were killed or injured, he went to seek refuge with relatives, and accidentally entered a brothel.

He had a withdrawn personality and was harassed by the wealthy young men, and then his whole family happened to be burned to death.

It seemed like someone was protecting her.

The first time he made his debut on stage, he was spotted by the prefect as a redeemer.

Interesting.

Su Fei Seeing that the madam was quite cooperative, he didn't argue with her and gave her one hundred taels Silver Notes.

In the eyes of the madam with joy, Su Fei pulled Gao Feng away.

The two of them quickly returned to Heaven-Answering Prefecture Office.

Under the urging of Su Fei, Gao Feng did not dare to delay for even a moment and went to the archives of the government office to check the files in person.

After all, it is a clue involving the Prefect Fang case.

And it may be related to your own promotion.

He didn't dare to be careless at all, and within a quarter of an hour, he ran over with a stack of files in his arms.

"Thousand Households Commander Su, Hai Family The files of the fire case are all here, from the report record, the on-site inspection record, to the final closing documents."

Su Fei took the file, sat down in front of the case, and read carefully page by page. The contents of the file were very detailed.
