The capital is bustling with people coming and going, hawking constantly, and prosperity.

"Sir, the black market in the capital is actually the entire capital. Once night falls, those shady transactions will begin. The most rampant places should be the major fireworks places." Fang Jie whispered, obviously having done his homework.

Zhou Jian nodded and frowned slightly: "What does a shady transaction generally refer to?"

Fang Jie looked ugly and hesitated: "Forced human trafficking, trading of contraband, such as illegal salt, large iron tools, etc. In fact, these things have not been secrets for a long time."

"But some departments are really rotten, and even low-level officials feel that officials and thieves are colluding...otherwise the black market would not have reached this level."

"I guess there is a protective umbrella!" He lowered his head after saying this, and it could be said that he was risking his life to make a statement.

Zhou Jian narrowed his eyes and snorted coldly: "Who else can protect the umbrella? This matter falls under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Punishment. Zhang Tong, an old guy, was beaten by me last time and is still recovering from his injuries."

"Taishi Ling has fallen, and he will be next. Don't let me get caught in this black market, otherwise he will die in an ugly way!"

Everyone was stunned and did not dare to speak.

During the discussion, suddenly there were more people around and it was extremely lively.

Zhou Jian looked up and saw that it was a beautiful building with red ribbons hanging high. Countless young women were wearing scantily clad clothes and leaning against the doors and windows. They had excellent figures and beautiful faces, and they were constantly ogling people below.

.

This caused a group of animals on the street to rush in, and an old man in his fifties also rushed in.

"Yihongyuan!"

When he saw the plaque, he couldn't help but smile.

At this time, Fang Jie's eyes widened and he said: "Your Majesty, you can do this for your humble position. This is one of the two largest brothels in the capital!"

"The business is booming and the flow of money is terrible. If there is no black market involved here, I won't believe it even if I am beaten to death for my humble position!"

Hearing this, Zhou Jian raised his eyebrows and slapped the feather fan in his hand: "Okay, that's it!"

After saying that, he took a big step and walked directly into the place known as "the cave where men sell gold". It was both business and curiosity.

The interior is antique, with reliefs on doors and windows, flowers, calligraphy and paintings, everything is there.

"The ancients were really good at playing." Zhou Jian muttered in a low voice.

"Hey, this handsome young man, is this your first time here?" A vulgar woman who looked like an old bustard twisted her waist and got into Zhou Jian's arms.

Fang Jie was about to drive them away, but Zhou Jian stopped him and took out a piece of silver with a smile: "This...sister! Please find me a private room, and I'll listen to the music."

"Oh, this handsome young man is really particular about his words. Yes, yes, yes, it doesn't matter if he listens to the music or listens to it in bed!"

The madam's eyes widened when she looked at the ingot of silver. She quickly took it away quietly and with a charming smile on her face, she took Zhou Jian's arm and walked upstairs.

Zhou Jian did not refuse. As the saying goes, when one goes to the countryside, one does as the Romans do.

He had no doubt that as long as he wanted to, this relatively good and vulgar madam could immediately find a bed to lie down on and let him do what he wanted.

Sudden.

Snap!!

As soon as I went upstairs, a crisp slap sounded.

Immediately after, there were the angry scoldings of several burly men, which were unbearable, and the helpless crying of a woman, which was very sudden.

But in a place like this, no one cares about a woman's life or death at all. It's not uncommon.

"Grass!"

"You think you are a lady, but a blind blind man pretending to be a pretty girl has come to this place. I asked you to take off your clothes, but you still don't want to!"

Bang!
