Reborn as a bride, pretending to be virtuous, the prince held his waist and regretted

What about people?

The constable arrested the boy and asked, "Where is Mr. Honglian here? Where did he go?"

The servant shook his head repeatedly, "The Red Lotus gentlemen left the Red Lotus House early this morning. I don't know where they went."

All the servants gave the same answer when asked. Even after being whipped dozens of times, they still said the same thing.

It can be seen that these servants have no idea where Mr. Honglian has gone.

Commander Xu frowned when he received the report. He was not worried that these detectives failed to catch Mr. Honglian.

The reason for this being the case now is that Jinlinwei has also lost track of these Red Lotus Young Masters.

What a coincidence, all these people have left. Commander Xu would not believe it if no one had notified them.

Commander Xu had no idea how to report to Emperor Kangping.

Emperor Kang Ping looked at Commander Xu who was kneeling on the ground, expressionless, "Lost? No clue at all?"

Emperor Kangping was not afraid of chaos, but was afraid that the surface might be calm, but there might be turbulent waves inside.

Commander Xu replied in a deep voice: "Yes, Your Majesty. These Red Lotus Young Masters must have been notified and hid overnight. All the Jinlin Guards who were guarding the Red Lotus Square were killed."

Emperor Kangping frowned for a while and asked, "How is the snowstorm in the north?"

Commander Xu quickly replied, "Your Majesty, there was a snowstorm in Beijing City, and Marquis Changning came to the rescue in time, so the casualties were less than a hundred."

Emperor Kangping breathed a sigh of relief, and his heart was full of recognition for Marquis Changning. "What about the Northern Rong?"

Commander Xu replied: "Prince Lai Fu of the Northern Rong has gathered six tribes and is waiting for the Northern Rong Khan's army to arrive and join forces with us."

"Well! Very good!" Emperor Kangping nodded, "How long do you think it will take to kill the King of Beirong with the help of both inside and outside forces?"

In front of his own people, Emperor Kangping spoke in a very tough and rough manner.

Commander Xu based on the prediction sent by Marquis Changning, "Marquis Changning predicts that the King of Beirong will lead a large army to invade Beijing City and the surrounding cities around the New Year's Eve of Kangguo."

"Around New Year's Eve?" Emperor Kang Ping stroked his beard. "The King of Beirong is cunning. He thinks that on New Year's Eve, everyone in Kang State is celebrating and has no intention of fighting. Especially since they have been peaceful for a long time, a surprise attack on New Year's Eve is indeed a good opportunity."

Commander Xu echoed, "Your Majesty is wise."

Emperor Kangping waved his hand, "It's all because of the wisdom of Marquis Changning. If he is in the northern border, the northern barbarians will be destroyed. Xu Cheng, send people to continue looking for the traces of the Honglian traitor. Also, don't relax, check if there is anything unusual about those who went to Honglian Square."

Commander Xu agreed, "Yes, Your Majesty. Those men who go to Honglianfang are already promiscuous. If they get sick, it is very likely to spread. How about I take the imperial physician to check each family?"

Hearing this, Emperor Kang Ping took a deep breath. "These places are used to sell sex to make money and collect intelligence, but they are also places where various diseases are transmitted. In such a short period of time, it is obvious that not much money can be made, and no intelligence can be collected. Such a high profile quickly attracts many people to indulge in it, and it is very likely that there are evil intentions."

Commander Xu was just skeptical at first, but after hearing what Emperor Kangping said, he became more convinced of his guess, "Your Majesty is wise, I will bring the imperial physician over right away."

Because of Emperor Kangping's drastic measures this time, many officials were demoted or dismissed from their posts.

Some of those who often went to Honglianfang were beaten to pieces, while others did not dare to come out and stayed at home. They had no time to go to the brothel for the time being.

Xu Cheng took the imperial physician to each house to examine these people, and he was dumbfounded when he saw what they had.

The men who went to Honglianfang first had redness, swelling, itching and even a fishy smell in their private parts.

After the imperial physician diagnosed, it was found that he had contracted an internal organ disease.

Three were found on the first day. When the news spread, these homosexuals were terrified and cried for the imperial physician to prescribe medicine.

After Commander Xu reported, Emperor Kangping's face was gloomy. "Find a manor outside the city, send all those who have been to Honglianfang there, send heavy troops to guard it, and the imperial physician can treat them at any time."

"If someone is seriously ill and cannot be cured, do not leave the body, burn it directly to prevent the spread of infection. Anyone who tries to stop us will be arrested as well."

Xu Cheng responded, "Yes, Your Majesty."

As a result, there was a commotion in the capital city. Those who had contracted the disease were locked up in one farm, and those who had not been infected were locked up in another farm.

Some of them were the only sons in the family. When someone tried to stop them, they immediately became timid when they heard that they would be arrested along with the others.

Although Yuan Zhen and Wang Shiwen were not sick, they had been to Honglianfang and stayed there many times.

At the court, a minister advised: "Your Majesty, mobilizing so many troops will inevitably cause panic."

Emperor Kangping glanced at the minister and said, "Won't you panic if we wait until the disease spreads throughout the capital and then lock them up?"

The minister was speechless.

The emergence of Honglianfang cast a gloomy shadow over the entire capital city.

Zhou Shier got the news from outside and told Gu Xiling everything exactly as it happened. Every day when Zhou Jin came back from the yamen, he also told his wife, mother, and grandmother what was happening outside.

Dinner that day.

Zhou Jin told his family that today Emperor Kangping ordered that all those who had been to Honglianfang be imprisoned in a farm outside the city.

The old lady, Mrs. Song, and Gu Xiling were all stunned. "Are you sure someone is really infected?"

Zhou Jin nodded, with a mocking look on his face, "Yes, and there are quite a few! There were three yesterday, and two more today. I guess there will be more in the future."

Gu Xiling frowned, "Did Honglianfang come prepared to spread the disease?"

Song gritted her teeth and said, "Honglianfang is extremely evil, but are those who seek pleasure from women not at fault? They have wives and concubines at home, but they are not satisfied. They spend their money on wine and women outside and get infected with diseases. They deserve it."

The old lady echoed Song, "That's right, flies don't bite cracked eggs. Our Jin'er is a gentleman, he never goes to those dirty places, of course he won't be infected with dirty diseases."

Zhou Jin was quite proud to hear his grandmother's praise, "Grandma, you are right. Honglianfang is hateful, but these people are also wrong for pursuing prostitutes all day long."

Gu Xiling asked: "How many people were arrested this time?"

Zhou Jin replied: "There are sixty-eight people, of whom forty-two are under the age of twenty-five, and most of them hold official positions. Many of those who have been dismissed are young officials that Your Majesty is very optimistic about."

"Wang Shiwen and Yuan Zhen have also been locked up. I heard that they are still living in the same courtyard. But I heard that they haven't been diagnosed with any diseases yet. Once they are diagnosed, they will be locked up in another village."

Gu Xiling chuckled, "I don't know Yuan Zhen, but I know what Wang Shiwen does on a daily basis. I'm not curious about him going in. No wonder my husband looks down on them. After all, my husband is noble and won't go along with them."

Zhou Jin was even more proud when he heard Gu Xiling's praise, "My wife, you are too kind. I am not good enough as a husband. I will continue to work hard in the future."

The old lady and Mrs. Song were very happy to see the sweet young couple. They believed that if the couple were of one mind, their life would be much smoother.

The news from the capital was sent to the northern city at full speed.

Xie Jin received the news from the capital two days later than Marquis Changning. He became anxious and immediately asked someone to call back Gu Xirong who was busy with disaster relief and reputation.
