Lord Xuande had called the council together eariler that morning, and explained to his officers what he discovered durning his last inspection, a young woman from a local brothel that had the audcatiy to be down the road from the grand palace of Chang Sha. Orginaly, Zhang Song wanted to take his personal troops and burn the Brothel to the ground, however, Lord Liu Bei explained that the Brothel's revenue from taxes merited it to remain open, but it was starting to appear that the owner of the brothel was not paying his...subornates...fairly. He wanted a man wise with words to go to the Brothel and convince the owner to increase his pay to the women that worked for him. Zhang Song reclutantly voluntered himself for the task.
As Zhang Song started to leave the palace, an offical from the palace came up to him and informed him that the leader of the Brothel was a former member of a gang that caused a large scale turf war in Chang Sha. Song thanked the offical and rode off, information such as this would be Song's greatest ally, as he left the palace, ten of his personal skrimishers fell in rank behind him.
Indeed, the brothel was not far from the palace, which sickened Song. An establishment of such dishonor toward women should have been destoryed long ago, but Song had to put is personal feelings aside and do as his Lord asked of him. he dismounted White Saber and tied his steed to a hitch outside of the Brothel, the fine white coat of his horse stood out amongst the other, dirty steeds. he motioned for his two strongest skrimishers to follow him into the Brothel, the remaining 8 were to remain outside and make sure no one tried to snatch White Saber. As Song and his bodyguards entered the establishment, the smell of cheap wine and even cheaper women flooded his senses, Song growled as a number of women approched him, offering him the time of his life. Song refused and pushed his way into the center of the room, slamming his Pride of Western Shu spear into a table, the Brothel became silent and all eyes were on him. Song pulled his spear out of the table and started to speak, loud enough so all could hear.
"My name is Zhang Song. I am the Civil Advisor to King Xuande! I have come to this...establishment...to speak to the owner. I demand to know where he is, at once!"[/b][/i]
