After crossing over, I am popular with both men and women

"The third one is the daughter of the former governor of Mingzhou. Her temperament is incomparable to that of ordinary people. She is still a prostitute now."

Before Gao Zhili could respond, a scholar in his twenties standing in front of them couldn't wait to explain to Su Qinchao.

"How did the daughter of the former chief of Mingzhou end up in such a situation?" Su Qinchao was very puzzled. When he came here, he also looked through the information of officials at all levels in Mingzhou.

Although Yu Fu, the former chief secretary of the Ming Dynasty, was investigated for corruption, the amount of money he embezzled was not much.

He was only sentenced to be demoted from his post and sent back to his hometown. Logically, his daughter should not have ended up in such a situation.

"It was all her brother's fault. Yu Changshi lost his job and originally planned to return to Yangzhou with his family. However, Mr. Yu secretly worked in a gambling house and owed more than 1800 taels of silver. Madam Yu only got more than taels of silver after selling all her dowry, so..."

The scholar did not continue speaking, but Su Qinchao understood.

She sold herself just to pay off her brother's debts. It was pitiful that a good lady from a wealthy family became a famous prostitute.

Looking at the float slowly going away, Su Qinchao sighed, jumped off the horse, and planned to find an inn to stay in.

"What? Are you still feeling pity for me?" Gao Zhili couldn't help but teasing him when he saw him like this.

"It's just lamenting the fickleness of fate!" Even if he wanted to save her, he didn't have enough money in his pocket.

Even though he was now a fourth-rank Lieutenant General, he did not have much income and it was barely enough for his family to spend.

"If you really like it, I will buy it for you!" Gao Zhili was not joking. In this dynasty, giving beauties to each other was an elegant thing.

"No, no!" Su Qinchao quickly shook his head and refused. He only had Yunniang and Guanqi.

At this time, the two men did not know that although Mingzhou's foreign trade was less than one-tenth of Guangzhou's.

But the water is not shallow at all, and they will have some entanglements with this Miss Yu in the future.

two days later

In the past two days, they had wanted to replicate what they did in Guangzhou, but they did not expect to encounter obstacles one after another when they were trying to find out. No one spoke about the sea city.

Only the crazy beggar they had just met on the street corner revealed a few clues that they could not believe.

Can you really believe what he said? The two looked at each other, threw two steamed buns into the beggar's bowl, and then went back to the inn together.

"No matter whether it can be believed or not, it's a clue anyway. We'll find out if we check it out." As soon as he closed the door, Gao Zhili said what was in his heart.

"But how do we check?"

"Ordinary people dare not speak out when they are coerced, but some people dare to do so!" Gao Zhili smiled slightly.

"Who?" Su Qinchao scratched his hair. He really didn't understand what Gao Zhili meant.

"The one who is from the Maritime Customs."

"You want me to eavesdrop?" Su Qinchao suddenly realized. "My Qinggong is not that good." Eavesdropping in broad daylight, what was this person thinking?

"No, no! I have an old acquaintance with the Sima of Mingzhou. I asked him to arrange for us to work in the Shiboshi. This way, we can spy openly!"

"You?" Su Qin looked at Gao Zhili's frail body with suspicion. With someone like him, no one would want him even if he was given to them for free.

"If I can't do it, you can do it, right?" He knew what Su Qinchao meant.

"If I'm going alone, what are you doing outside?"

"I'll go find Miss Yu. She's the daughter of the former chief historian. Maybe she knows something."
