Chapter 11: The Strange Jade Plaque

"I thought that Lord Zhao was not afraid of anything." Mu Baili withdrew his hand and left, without saying another word.

Who doesn't know that the eunuch who holds the seal of the celebrant and the commander of the East Factory, Mu Baili, is used to being moody.

Zhao Wuwu took a deep breath and ran his fingertips over his throat hidden in the collar. The Adam's apple is fake, and if you can't see it from the outside, it doesn't mean you can't touch it.

Yun Zheng was waiting outside in a hurry, and finally saw Zhao Wuwu come out, so he was relieved, "Childe? ”

"It's fine." Zhao Wuwu put together his shawl, looking a little sad, as if he was tired.

Before leaving the territory of the celebrant supervisor, Yun Zheng didn't dare to ask more.

It wasn't until he left the palace, got into the carriage, and saw that there was no one around, that Xi Mo dared to speak, "Childe, I've caught someone, I'm alive." ”

"Where?" Zhao Wuwu asked.

Xi Mo said, "The dungeon of the Teaching Workshop Division. ”

The Department of Education is subordinate to the Ministry of Rites, and it sounds like the Department of Education, but it is actually an official brothel. However, the official brothel is different from the ordinary Qinglou brothel, and the official brothel only entertains the princes and nobles, as well as the children of the official eunuchs. Therefore, it is impossible for ordinary people to step into the Church Division.

And the priest did all the business without capital, and the women in it were all beautiful and artistic, and then the ones who were sent in were either the daughters of the criminals, or the orphaned girls, or the slaves they bought. Over the years, Dongchang has killed countless people, and many crimes have been constructed to slaughter courtiers, and the female dependents of the courtiers' families have either not joined the sect department or have not been military prostitutes. The former can survive for a long time, and the latter mostly end up tragically.

When these women entered the Church Division, they had no freedom.

Life and death, going and staying, can only be held in the hands of the owner or Zhao Wuwu, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites.

In the dark dungeon, Zhao Wuwu walked slowly.

"Your Excellency!" The owner's name is Honggu, who used to be the personal maid of Zhao Wuwu's mother, and now he is the owner of the Teaching Workshop Division. For Honggu, Zhao Wuwu is trusting, if it weren't for her in the early years, she and her mother would have died a long time ago.

The long scar on Honggu's face is the best witness.

"What about people?" Zhao Wuwu asked.

Pushing open the door of the cell, a woman was chained to a wooden frame, covered in blood. His head hung down lightly, probably because he had been tortured too much and fainted. The smell of blood in his nose made Zhao Wuwu frown.

She didn't like the smell of blood, not at all.

"The jade plate was found from her." Honggu introduced, "She said that her name was Yuying, and her family couldn't afford to support her, so she was sent to the Teaching Department." When I came in, I thought it was strange that other women always had to cry, but she didn't cry or make trouble. So I kept an eye on her, until last night when I found her quietly out of the house, and had her house searched. ”

There was nothing in the house, except that when she returned, a jade plaque was found on her. As the adults said earlier, if a woman has such a thing on her, she must dispose of it immediately. ”

Yun Zheng opened the box in his hand, and there were three jade plaques neatly placed in it, and now it is the fourth one in Honggu's hand.

"What the hell is this, my lord?" Honggu was stunned.

Xi Mo stepped forward, "According to reliable sources, there is an unknown organization that has been sending beautiful women to the homes of major officials in the capital. Without exception, these women have such a jade plaque on their bodies, which seems to be some kind of contact code. In the past two years, Childe has been tracking down the origin of this jade plate, but to no avail. If you want to investigate, you can't startle the snake, so Childe can only start from these women. ”

Honggu nodded, and then looked at the silent Zhao Wuwu, "Do you want to ask in person, we won't ask anything!" ”

"Do you know martial arts?" Zhao Wuwu asked.

Honggu shook her head, "Let people explore, there is no internal force." ”

Hearing this, Zhao Wuwu glanced at the bloody woman on the wooden frame, and his face was slightly gloomy.
