The Third Prince is notorious for his carefree lifestyle, spending his days away from the court and roaming the mountains and rivers, so you can see him everywhere.
It's normal for him to come here.
The Brothel Owner already had ulterior motives, speaking evasively and ambiguously. The county magistrate was worried that the Third Prince would report to the Emperor, and by then, not to mention his small official hat, even his life would be hard to save.
Thus, the County Magistrate found a good excuse, making the Brothel Owner pay heavily and detained her for several days, personally warning her to refrain from crooked practices, otherwise, she would be executed and publicly displayed.
The Brothel Owner already had a guilty conscience. In her business, she often preyed on young girls; some from poor families, she would persuade their parents to sell their daughters, and some, she directly abducted.
So she confessed to these crimes without denying any.
