Chapter 224: Hidden Secrets

Song Wanning's original intention was to go to Hongxiufang in person to investigate and find out what had happened.

But if I tell my family the truth, they will definitely not agree.

Not to mention that Liu Mei and Song Rong would worry about her safety, if Song Jiang knew about it, he would definitely not let her go to that kind of place.

It has to be said that her younger brother's thinking is still very "feudal".

Therefore, Song Wanning planned to investigate in person without telling Song Jiang and his family.

"The patients in the village will be handed over to you in the next few days. In addition to giving them injections and taking medicine, remember to supervise them to do the disinfection work." That night, Song Wanning reminded Song Jiang.

"Sister, what about you?"

"Well...there are still some scattered patients in the city. I'll go and take a look." Song Wanning said a little uncomfortably.

Song Jiang didn't ask any more questions, thinking that the capital was safer than the suburbs, so he agreed.

The next day, Song Wanning first took a walk around Hongxiufang and asked around, and found that there was no sign of plague.

Moreover, this Hongxiufang was newly opened in the past two years. After opening, the business has been very good. There are many customers coming in every day, and there are also many girls in the building.

Song Wanning sat at the tea stall outside Hongxiufang and chatted with other guests casually.

"The girls in there are so charming. If my wife wasn't so strict, I would really like to go there again."

"How much money does it cost to stay in there for one night?" Song Wanning suddenly asked.

Several men laughed with ambiguous meanings: "Little brother, why are you asking this out of the blue? Do you also want to go to the Red Sleeves House and have some fun?"

Song Wanning pretended to blush and said, "I...I have never been to that kind of place. I just wanted to ask because I was angry."

They all nodded in understanding: "We all understand. We are all men, so who doesn't have some impulses? Are you married? Do you have a wife at home?"

Song Wanning waved her hand: "We haven't gotten married yet."

"It's okay if you're not married yet, go in and enjoy the experience. After you get married, you'll have fewer opportunities to go in."

Song Wanning smiled awkwardly: "I haven't heard from you yet, how much does it cost to spend a night with a girl?"

"Hongxiufang is cheaper than other brothels. A few taels of silver are enough for one night. The exact amount depends on which girl you order. In my opinion, Miss Qingzhi is very beautiful and charges less."

After hearing this, Song Wanning had a hunch that there must be something wrong with Hongxiufang.

She had just glanced at the door and saw that the girls soliciting customers in front of Hongxiufang were all of good looks. This was a signature feature in other brothels, which showed that the girls in Hongxiufang were of high quality.

But the asking price is so low that it is obvious that this is not a long-term deal.

"I think the girl in blue is the best, but it's a pity that when I went there the day before yesterday, the madam said she was seriously ill and couldn't receive customers." A man said with regret.

Song Wanning deliberately asked: "Could it be that the madam said this on purpose because she was picking up other guests?"

"Impossible! Lan Yi and I have agreed that as long as I go, she will be the first one to receive me." The man immediately retorted.

"Come to think of it, there was a girl named Qingqing whom I ordered before. She was gone when I went there this time. They said she had contracted a serious illness." Another man went on to talk about his own experience.

Song Wanning's heart sank. She talked to a few men for a while, then got up and left the tea stall, and went to the nearby medical clinics.

There were not many patients in several clinics. Song Wanning went in and talked to the doctor who dispensed the medicine: "Give me two prescriptions for clearing away heat and dampness."

"Got it."

"By the way, has your clinic been to Hongxiufang for medical consultations recently?" Song Wanning suddenly asked.

"Hongxiufang? No, it doesn't exist. This Hongxiufang has been established for more than two years, but every time they come here they just get a few doses of medicine and have never asked our doctors to treat them." The medicine dispenser lowered his head and prepared medicine for Song Wanning.

"Have you been there?"

"You little brother, you look serious and have a good appearance, how can you be so dirty?" The medicine dispenser said dissatisfiedly.

Song Wanning was suddenly scolded, very innocently: "What's wrong with me?"

"We are a serious clinic, passed down from generation to generation, with strict family education. Apart from seeing patients, it is impossible for us to go to places like brothels."

After saying that, he wrapped the medicine and stuffed it into Song Wanning's arms: "Three taels of silver."

Song Wanning paid the money reluctantly. To be honest, this clinic was quite kind and charged a very low price. Besides, the medicine was effective.

After that, Song Wanning went to several clinics to inquire about the situation and found that without exception, no doctor had ever entered.

This is strange. The girl inside was seriously ill, but the madam refused to ask a doctor to treat her.

Just when Song Wanning was confused, she suddenly saw a carriage coming out of the back door of the front yard.

If she remembered correctly, this was the back door of Hongxiufang.

She hid aside and watched the movements over there carefully.

"Hurry up, move quickly, don't waste time!"

Those sturdy men were each holding a straw mat, which was wrapped with something. Song Wanning was far away and couldn't see clearly.

Soon, the carriage was filled with the stuff, and the strong man drove away.

Song Wanning followed behind until they arrived at a deserted courtyard on the outskirts of Beijing.

It was said to be deserted, but there were two people guarding the door, not letting anyone in. It was obvious that there was something fishy going on inside.

After the carriage went in, it came out again in less than half an hour.

After they left, Song Wanning went to the side of the courtyard and climbed over the wall to enter.

The yard was full of weeds and the doors and windows of the houses were rotten. Song Wanning followed the carriage tracks to the backyard and found a well.

A gust of cold wind blew by, and Song Wanning couldn't help but shiver.

The weather in Kyoto has been very hot recently, but this yard is like another world, extremely cold and chilly.

Song Wanning intuitively felt that there was something terrible in the well, but in order to find out the truth, she had to bite the bullet and go ahead to investigate.

It didn't matter that Song Wanning broke out in a cold sweat after this exploration.

I saw that the dry well was filled with densely packed corpses, and without exception, they were all girls.

It seems that all the girls who were "seriously ill" in Hongxiufang are here.

Song Wanning only took a glance and noticed something unusual.

The bodies of these girls were all shrunken and withered. They didn't look like they died of a serious illness. Instead, they looked...

Instead, he died after all the blood was drained from his body.

Song Wanning left the courtyard and returned home, feeling very heavy in her heart. There must be some unspeakable secret hidden in Hongxiufang.

But with her own strength, even if she found out the truth, it would be impossible to solve the matter and save the girls in Hongxiufang.

So the next day, Song Wanning came to the Dali Temple. When she was thinking about what reason she could use to beat the drum to complain, she happened to meet Li Yang, the Shaoqing of the Dali Temple who was about to go out.
