The Empress traveled through time and space, and she fought for supremacy in the troubled times

That afternoon, Chen Yuanshu was training his soldiers in the training ground as usual.

Now the main task of their Yun family army is patrolling and training.

Every day, several teams would be sent to patrol the city wall in turns, while the rest would train in the training ground.

On this day, Li Shun was on a ten-day holiday, and only Chen Yuanshu was training these people in the training ground.

Just at this time, the servant from the Yun Mansion rushed over.

"General Chen, the lord summons you."

"Okay, I'll go right away."

As if remembering something, she looked at the servant and asked casually, "Did the lord summon only me and not Lieutenant General Li?"

"Yes, my lord, I only ordered you to call General Chen."

Chen Yuanshu nodded and said, "Thank you for letting me know."

Although most of the time they were summoned together, they were occasionally summoned individually to ask questions.

Therefore, Chen Yuanshu did not feel too confused about the fact that only she was summoned this time.

She turned to look at the soldiers over there, "Wang Hu, come out and lead them."

Wang Hu, who was called, immediately responded, "Yes, General Chen."

After arranging things here, Chen Yuanshu took the carriage that the servant had driven when he came and went to Yun Mansion.

Yun Mansion Study Room.

"Lord."

"General Chen, please find a seat first."

"Yes."

After finding a place to kneel and sit, Chen Yuanshu straightened his body and looked at Yun Zhi, "I wonder why the lord summoned me this time?"

Yun Zhi raised her eyes slightly and looked in her direction, "Is the Xingchunlou in the county town still open?"

Xingchunlou, the only brothel in the county town, has about dozens of people.

Chen Yuanshu was a little stunned by this question, wondering why his lord mentioned the brothel.

After a moment's reaction, she answered truthfully, "It's still open, but business has been a bit down since those people were executed."

Chen Yuanshu was deeply impressed by Xingchunlou.

At that time, many families in their village chose to sell their daughters to Xingchunlou because they could not make a living.

Because they pay more money there.

Some people even use disgusting names, saying that they are sending their daughters to eat delicious food and drink spicy drinks.

Maybe the master in there would take a fancy to her and take her as his concubine, and then she would enjoy a happy life.

This enjoyment is all nonsense.

For some unknown reason, the girls who entered there would not survive more than a few years before being carried out on a mat and buried.

Seeing Chen Yuanshu's face showing some disgust when the brothel was mentioned, Yun Zhi told her about the summons today.

"Today, I have a task for you. Lead the female soldiers and raid that brothel."

"My Lord, you want me to raid a brothel?"

Chen Yuanshu suspected that she had heard it wrong, and she looked at Yun Zhi in shock.

Facing her shocked eyes, Yun Zhi continued to finish what she had not finished saying.

"If the madam is dissatisfied, just kill her directly.

"As for the women inside, I'll give them two choices. One, let them choose where they want to go. Two, I'll buy them a small house, where they can live together as family and do some small business."

Upon hearing this, Chen Yuanshu was somewhat moved and bowed to Yun Zhi, "My Lord, you are truly compassionate. Those women will surely be grateful to you."

Compassionate?

Yun Zhi chuckled.

She is not a compassionate person.

The reason why Chen Yuanshu was asked to lead people to disband the brothel may be due to some sympathy from fellow women.

But it is very small.

Everything she does is not meaningless, it has its purpose.

The purpose of disbanding the brothel is not to express the useless gratitude of those women.

What use is this to her or to Daye?

There are too many people suffering in this world. If she rescues everyone, she can just wait for those forces to come in.

The reason for doing this is to eliminate a hidden danger, a hidden danger of spies planted by others.

The places where spies are placed are nothing more than those few places.

Among them, there are the most spies in brothels. There are all kinds of people there, and it is the best place to get information.

Since that’s the case, Yun Zhi will cut off this source.

Although we cannot stop the planting of spies, we can prevent many problems.

From now on, there will be no brothels within her jurisdiction.

It is only the afternoon now, and there is still a long time to go.

Chen Yuanshu looked at Yun Zhi, eager to try, "Then... shall I go now?"

"Go ahead, and remember to bring Doctor Qin with you."

After conquering the county town, Qin Wan was taken by Yun Zhi and now lives in the Yun Mansion, serving as the Yun Mansion's house doctor.

Chen Yuanshu clenched her hands hanging at her sides. She knew what this meant.

Flower willow disease.

Many women in brothels suffer from this disease.

"Yes."

……

Xingchun Tower.

The door was still closed at this time.

Most of the women inside were still asleep and had not woken up.

Huaying pushed open Nong Yue's door, and a strong smell of medicine came out.

Huaying placed the porcelain bowl containing medicine on the table and opened the window to dissipate the smell of the medicine.

She walked to the bed and gently pushed the pale-faced woman lying on it, "Sister Nong Yue, wake up."

The woman on the bed slowly opened her eyes, "It's Huaying."

Nong Yue sat up with Huaying's help and leaned weakly on the pillow.

Huaying took the medicine that was no longer so hot on the table and said, "Sister Nongyue, come here and drink the medicine. You will be fine after drinking it."

After drinking the medicine in Huaying's hand, she curled her pale lips into a faint smile, "Huaying, sister won't live long."

Huaying cried and kept shaking her head, "No, no, Sister Nong Yue will be fine after drinking the medicine."

Huaying and Nong Yue are not blood-related sisters.

When Huaying first came here, she didn't know the rules and was almost beaten to death. It was Nong Yue, who was the most beautiful courtesan at the time, who saved her.

From then on, Huaying treated Nong Yue as her sister.

Now, as soon as Nong Yue fell ill, the madam moved her from the attic to the backyard, leaving her to fend for herself.

"Huaying, don't cry. You know, the women here all have the same ending. They drank too much mercury and got that disease. They won't live long."

Huaying kept shaking her head. "I'll go and ask mom to get a good doctor to treat you. You'll get better."

"Flower Shadow."

Huaying looked at her with tearful eyes.

Nong Yue wiped her tears and pointed to a wooden box on the dressing table.

"That wooden box contains the money I've saved over the years. When the time comes, add your own money to it and see if you can redeem yourself. After you're released, you can live the life you want."

"I want to be with Sister Nong Yue."

This made Nong Yue laugh, "How can anyone stay together forever? All good things must come to an end. You are such a silly girl."

Just as the two were talking, the door opened again.

"I'm sorry to bother you guys."

Looking at the bright and beautiful person outside, she is also the most popular courtesan in Xingchunlou.

Huaying looked at her, "Yushang."

Yuchang walked in with her waist twisted, and raised her head proudly, "So you haven't died of illness yet."

As he said that, he threw the snack wrapped in oil paper into Nong Yue's arms, "Pity you."

Nong Yue looked at the snacks in her arms and laughed out loud.

Dim Sum from Baiweixuan.

The dim sum there is not expensive and is very popular among ordinary people, but it is a bit far from Xingchunlou.

Yesterday, when she was walking in the corridor with Huaying, she casually mentioned that she missed the dim sum at Baiweixuan.

However, Yuchang who happened to be passing by heard it and ridiculed him.

I didn't expect that she would deliver this snack today.

Hearing Nong Yue's laughter, Yu Chang's hair immediately exploded, "What are you laughing at?"

Looking at the man with a sharp tongue but a soft heart, Nong Yue shook her head, "There's nothing to laugh at."

"Humph."

Yuchang smoothed her hair and snorted softly, "I won't disturb you two sisters from sharing your heartfelt feelings. Just looking at your face makes me upset."

"How do you talk like that?"

Looking at the irritated Huaying, Yuchang smiled with satisfaction, "What do you care what I say? Let's go."

As soon as she turned her head, tears fell from the corners of Yuchang's eyes.

Xingchunlou, another person is about to die.

"boom"

Just as she was about to step out the door, there was a loud bang on the door.
