Chapter 242: Disruption to peoples livelihood
After saying that, I regretted it. I don’t know whether Shi Xuanming came up with the nickname True Man himself or the maid in the room helped him. In short, it has become Shi Xuanming’s code name. If Da Tou finds out about this, it will definitely become his way of teasing Shi Xuanming.
From the head.
As expected, after hearing the words, Datou burst out laughing, "Hahaha, a real man, that's why he got this nickname, hahaha..."
"Stop laughing," he frowned and waved his hands, "go back as soon as possible to gather the troops to arrest him."
"Okay, okay," Datou asked while walking quickly, "Sir, who are you arresting?"
After thinking for a while, he said, "It's better not to go back and catch him. The noise is too big and it won't end well. Just send someone to block the door, block all the guests in the room, and then control the prostitute. The old madam and
The clerk must also be taken down. Anxiang Tower must have an account book. Later, you can go back to Yushitai to mobilize troops. I will go to the Ministry of Accounts to transfer a few bookkeepers there, thoroughly check the accounts, and confiscate all the stolen money."
Datou understood his approach and said with a wicked smile, "Those guests are all high-ranking officials. The court strictly prohibits officials from molesting prostitutes. They first steal the stolen goods personally and then take the opportunity to blackmail them. If they don't want to spend money to eliminate the disaster, then put them in the house."
What Anxianglou has done is made public, and their nicknames are also announced, haha, let’s see how they meet people in the future.”
He really wanted to do this. After smiling and nodding, he said to Datou, "Hurry up and mobilize your troops. You will be the one to sing the blackface. I will come over later to clean up the mess. Before I arrive, you know what to do."
"I know, we enforce the law impartially and handle cases strictly," Datou said, raising his hand and pointing back, "By the way, sir, what should a real man do?"
"What do you think we should do? Arrest him?" He glanced at Datou.
Datou is so smart, "This real man is an undercover agent sent to Anxiang Tower by our Yushitai. He is here to collect evidence. Don't worry, sir. I will bring his official uniform when I get back."
Nodding with satisfaction, the two of them went elsewhere.
When they returned to Anxiang Tower after summoning a few account bookkeepers from the Ministry of Accounts, the door of Anxiang Tower had been closed. There were no arrests from Yushitai outside the door. Only some passers-by were pointing and guessing what had happened before.
Why did a team of police officers rush in?
He must have seen it coming through the crack in the door. The policeman guarding the door took the initiative to open the door, and walked in with several bookkeepers. The policeman immediately closed the door.
At this time, the madam and clerk of Anxiang House were rushed to the wooden platform in the middle of the room by the Yushitai police. Together with the twenty prostitutes, they squatted on the ground with their heads in their hands. The account books were also turned out and placed on the counter.
After giving the order, several bookkeepers immediately began to check the accounts.
There were police officers from Yushitai standing at the door of every room. All the distinguished guests were blocked in the room and walked through.
Corridor, he walked quickly towards the wooden platform in the middle area. On the way, he met Shi Xuanming, who had already changed into official uniform. Seeing him, Shi Xuanming felt embarrassed and his face turned red, "This, this..."
"If you don't mind that woman once fell into prostitution, there's nothing wrong with marrying her." He said in a low voice.
"No no no, no no no..." Shi Xuanming waved his hands repeatedly.
Seeing his expression, I knew I had guessed correctly. Shi Xuanming must have not touched the prostitute. Men have the instinct to protect the weak. It is said that Buddha once cut meat to feed eagles. As a monk, Shi Xuanming must have a stronger desire to protect.
I don't want to see that seemingly weak prostitute being humiliated by other men.
When they arrived at the wooden platform in the middle, Datou was leading a few detectives who were fiercely interrogating the madam and the prostitutes. Upon seeing them, the detectives immediately brought a wooden chair and asked them to sit down and talk.
He actually sat down, but he was not in a hurry to speak, and just looked at the big head examining the case expressionlessly.
The big head was interrogating the old bustard at this time. The old bustard was a middle-aged woman. The big head asked about the rewards for everyone and how the Anxiang Tower was distributed. Behind the old bustard was the Jiaofang, and there were thousands of connections between the Jiaofang and the palace.
There are countless connections, hesitating and answering questions.
The big head did not hesitate, and directly ordered the policeman to step forward and slap him on the mouth. After a few slaps, the old madam cried like a wolf and howled like a wolf. He immediately confessed, saying that the reward from everyone was half of Anxianglou and the twenty prostitutes.
This question is very critical. It is proven that these prostitutes are directly aiming to defraud money. They are fake scammers, not poor people who can't help themselves and force a smile.
Datou is smart and cunning, and he also serves as a supervisory censor in the Yushitai. He is very good at investigating cases. The second thing he asked was whether the guests who had been to Anxiang Tower secretly recorded their identities and flowers.
The amount sold.
This answer is also yes. There is a maid in each room. The maid can guess the identity of the guest through the conversation of the guest. On the cabinet, some can also be guessed from the house deed or land deed brought by the guest, and more can be guessed by the guest.
When you are having sex with a prostitute, you take the initiative to talk about it and show off.
At this time, all the guests who were blocked in the room were staring at the wooden table nervously. This question of Datou is also very critical, because recording the identity of the guest in private is equivalent to secretly grabbing the guest. No one likes to leave a trace in this kind of place.
No one likes to give someone a hand or be blackmailed.
The boss knew exactly what he wanted to do, and all the questions he asked were to expose the tricks used by the madam and the prostitute to defraud money. The third question was about what means the madam and the prostitute used to stimulate the customers to be helpless.
To control spending, the madam and the prostitute each talk about their own affairs. Anxianglou is responsible for giving spirits to the guests, because men will be excited and lose self-control after drinking. Then they will write some passionate poems in the room and hang them
Pictures of people wielding swords across the horizon or fighting on the battlefield make drunken men think of themselves as great generals or great knights.
The prostitutes are responsible for using their talents to win the favor of their customers. Each prostitute has different routines. Some can dance coquettishly, while others can play and sing. These talents are not actually their trump card for making money.
The most common is a competition between two prostitutes. The losing party has to accept the punishment of the winning party. The so-called punishments are various and weird, but they are all humiliating. Men are often competitive.
In order to protect the prostitutes they support from being punished and humiliated by the other party, the clients will get mad and spend money desperately.
Although I can't see the expressions of the people in the room, I can roughly guess that these routines coming from the mouths of those prostitutes are nothing more than scratching the skin and piercing the hearts of the customers, who originally tried to save the beauty.
He thinks he is a hero, but he never thought that he is a fool who is being manipulated by others.
There is no better way to kill someone than to kill one's heart. Next, Datou began to kill one's heart and directly interrogated the prostitutes from when they started receiving clients, how many clients they had received, and how much money they paid for each client before.
There are many people who do dirty things secretly, but no one is willing to expose the scandal. However, under the coercion of the government and the police to force confessions, they have to say that the conditions of the twenty prostitutes are different, but without exception they are not human beings.
Although Kefu has received a lot of customers in total, thirty-fifty is considered a small number, and three hundred and two hundred is not too much. The prices are also different, but none of them exceeds ten taels.
People are not afraid that things are expensive, but they are afraid that if they buy something for one thousand taels, others can buy it for ten taels. This shows that they are being taken advantage of.
It took me thousands of taels to get back to the top of the list and sleep with my little master, but in the end I found that someone else had done it with only ten taels of silver. How useless and angry. At this time, the room around the wooden platform was full of people.
The angry guy who was taken advantage of.
When interrogating the frail woman, Datou was particularly harsh. Not only did he interrogate the number of clients she had received, but he also asked about the height and weight of those clients, how fat the fattest one was, how old the oldest one was, and whether she volunteered when accepting clients.
Is it forced, etc., etc., etc., etc., the purpose is simply to let Shi Xuanming know that this seemingly weak woman is not so weak, she has experienced everything, and in his opinion, the so-called insulting others is actually very...
I just like her and don't need his protection and rescue at all.
Seeing that the fire was almost done, he raised his hand to stop Datou's interrogation, leaving the policeman to guard everyone while the two of them
Leave the wooden platform and go to various rooms.
Being treated like a fool by a prostitute is more humiliating than being caught in bed. The guests were all ashamed and embarrassed, especially when they were given nicknames. After the two entered the door, they did not ask each other's identity, but first asked each other's nickname.
He laughed at me openly, "Oh, you are a heartless prodigal, hahaha." "Oh, you are just a person who dates after dusk, hahaha." "You are a sad person, hahaha."
There are nearly a hundred people, most of them are wealthy businessmen, and the others are all officials, with different ages, ranging from seventeen to eighty years old. Datou only said that Yushitai was tracking down the eunuchs, and everyone had
He is suspected and needs to be taken back for interrogation and investigation.
Who is willing to go back to the Yushitai with them? If you don't want to go, you have to have an explanation. Most of these people did not come by themselves. They all brought servants. They sent the servants and servants back to get the money, and they were detained here first.
But not all guests can spend money to ward off disasters. There are at least twenty or thirty people who are short of money and stretched. According to their status, they really shouldn’t be unable to come up with money. The reason why they can’t come up with money is because
Recently, I have spent too much money in Anxiang Building. I have not only exhausted my property, but also sold off my land and family property. What makes people most angry is that there is a doctor from the Ministry of Revenue among them. This person dared to embezzle the disaster relief money, and
In less than three months, a full two hundred thousand taels were misappropriated.
This discovery made him furious. Previously, he only believed that Anxianglou's actions would corrupt the morals and corrupt people's hearts, but he ignored the series of negative consequences it caused. It was a trivial matter for these customers to bankrupt themselves. There was no money to support them coming here to pretend to be great.
They will go astray, those who are officials will take bribes and bend the law, those who are businessmen will cheat, and those who are talented may kill, set fire to, and rob homes.
We kept struggling until the fifth watch, and everyone who could spend money to ward off the disaster sent money over. Even though these people tried their best, they only sent over 600,000 taels. It was not that they did not want to send more, but their money
It has been hollowed out by Anxiang Tower.
On the other hand, after checking the profits of Anxiang Building, we came up with a terrifying figure. Since the opening of Anxiang Building, the accumulated silver has exceeded 10 million taels, but only less than 200,000 taels have been handed over to Jiaofang. The remaining
Those were all divided up by the madam and these prostitutes.
I never dreamed that Anxiang Tower would make such an astonishing profit. It would certainly not be possible to recover all of the 10 million taels, but even if half of it could be recovered, it would still be a huge fortune.
This amount made him both happy and excited, but also nervous and scared. He was happy and excited because the recovery of the money could not only be used as military supplies, but also to provide relief to the victims. But he was nervous and scared because Anxianglou's practices not only corrupted the public morals, but also corrupted people's hearts.
