Chapter 84 Military Law(1/2)
"Young Marshal, you'd better go and see it." The guard looked embarrassed.
"Well!" Li Lin frowned, not understanding who actually wanted to see it by himself.
It turns out that there are levels of hierarchy in opium dens, and those outside are pretty much separated.
When you walk inside, you can see the private rooms one by one!
The lights were turned on by the guards, and Li Lin felt soft under his feet when he walked into the room.
When I lowered my head, I saw that it was an authentic Persian carpet, and it was also a fine silk Persian carpet.
Persia does not produce silk, and Persians do not know how to raise silkworms.
To weave this kind of silk carpet, you need to buy silk from the Ming Dynasty at a large price. Then it will be transported across the ocean and shipped to Persia by sea.
It is said that in Persia, this craft is top secret, and the craftsmen would rather lose their heads than teach the technique to others.
Li Lin had seen his father give a large piece of this to Sun Chengzong.
This shows how precious this thing is!
There was a blazing fire in the house, and yellow flames were jumping in the fire.
On the Ming-style couch in front of the fireplace, a naked guy was lying on his back. Next to him, two equally naked women lay.
There are so many situations like this out there, it’s not surprising.
But these two women are Ming women, which is strange.
The kiln sisters of the Ming Dynasty rarely came to foreign places to do business.
Although it is all about flesh and blood business, selling one's body overseas is a very low-price behavior.
Even if you go to Japan and Korea to serve the royal family there, your worth will plummet after you return home.
No Ming people would want women who had been fucked by foreigners, and no brothels would even accept them.
No one is even willing to rent a house to them, everyone thinks they are dirty.
When walking on the street, even three-year-old children will throw stones and spit at them.
Even if someone beats you and files a lawsuit, the government will ignore you.
Li Lin took a special look at their faces. They had black hair and black eyes, and their faces were pretty good.
They are indeed Ming Dynasty people, and they are two Ming Dynasty women who should be considered beauties.
Judging from their figures and faces, they are definitely no more than 18 years old.
At this age, with this figure and face, he can be the top star in most places in Ming Dynasty.
Why did it appear in this place?
The guy on the couch was lying down, and the guards helped him up.
Li Lin was even more surprised. These beasts beat and scolded people at every turn. Especially the people in front of him were the people who were about to be shot. If it had been someone else, they would have pulled back their hair to show their faces clearly to Li Lin.
And they actually helped the guy in front of them.
However, after seeing this guy's face clearly, Li Lin knew why.
This guy is none other than Zheng Zhilong’s youngest son, Zheng Shimo.
In the dandy circles of the capital, he is known as the Sixth Young Master.
This guy is also considered a celebrity in the dandy circles of the capital, and he has had many interactions with Li Lin.
There is no way, Zheng Sen is his biological eldest brother.
When Li Lin was playing with Zheng Sen, he often saw this sixth young master.
"Why did you come here?"
"Ah...!" Zheng Shimo smiled like an idiot.
This guy is obviously having fun, and he's not over it yet.
Li Lin grabbed the wine chilled in ice on the table and poured it all over Zheng Shimo.
"Wake up!" Li Lin grabbed his hair and shook it vigorously.
"Ah...!" Zheng Shimo still had an idiotic smile on his face, expensive red wine dripping down his hair.
As Li Lin shook, saliva began to flow from the corners of his mouth, looking extremely disgusting.
"Take him away!" Li Lin had no choice but to let the military police take him away.
I really don’t understand when this guy got so good at this.
It's another problem. For Zheng Sen's sake, we can't just kill him now.
The military police on the side began to put clothes on Zheng Shimo, and the two women, who were not sure whether they were really asleep or fainted from fright, were also forcibly put on clothes and took the lead.
They are from the Ming Dynasty and cannot be treated like those Russian women.
That night, the whole of Moscow was not peaceful.
Brauchitsch rode a carriage into the city and saw several scenes of Ming troops speeding through the streets in trucks.
When I arrived at the Generalissimo's residence, I saw that there was no tension here like before the war.
Although there were still sentries with guns standing guard at the door, the veteran Brauchitsch could tell at a glance that there was no war-like atmosphere here.
After the notification, Brauchitsch quickly met Li Xiao.
"Brauchitsch, you're here so early?" Li Xiao looked at the dark sky outside. The darkness before dawn is the darkest. He was indeed right.
"Commander, you made such a big noise, I didn't sleep all night. I rushed here from the Winter Palace in a hurry!"
"Oh, Her Majesty the Queen went to the Winter Palace?"
"Yes! This is a Russian tradition. Her Majesty the Queen has to stay in the Winter Palace for a period of time every winter.
It is the place where the Russian royal family once fought bloody battles, and it is also a way to commemorate their ancestors.
In a few days, there will be a hunt. When the time comes, Generalissimo, you must appreciate it!"
"Let's talk about it then!" Li Xiao was a little helpless because he still had to hunt after this time.
"Her Majesty the Queen asked me to ask why the Ming army suddenly launched an operation in Moscow and captured many Russians."
After hesitating for a moment, Brauchitsch bluntly expressed his thoughts.
He knew that Li Xiao was a standard soldier. There was no need to beat around the bush when talking to him.
“There are many opium dens in Moscow!
Originally, this was a matter for you Russians, and I shouldn't have interfered.
But there was nothing they could do, they actually encouraged the officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty to smoke duck slices.
You know, I hate that thing the most.
so!
I sent people to destroy all the duck restaurants I knew. These Russians just arrested them.
In addition to the principal criminal who must be executed, the accomplices can be handed over to Russia for disposal.
After dawn, I hope you Russians will also take action.
This time, the accomplices were spared. Next time, anyone caught possessing duck slices will be shot on the spot, no matter how many or for whatever reason.
As long as he is caught by Ming Dynasty, he will be shot.
Do you...understand?" Li Xiao looked at Brauchitsch with an unkind look.
Brauchitsch knew that many Russian nobles were doing this. Li Xiao suspected that Brauchitsch was also involved in these things.
"Your Excellency, Generalissimo, you don't have to look at me like this. I am too timid to make money.
As for what you said, I will report it to Her Majesty the Queen truthfully and let her decide whether these people live or die.
This is Russia and only she has this right."
Brauchitsch was soft but tough, reminding Li Xiao not to go too far, this is still Russia, and Catherine is the empress of Russia.
"Yeah!" Li Xiao hummed, but looked out the window, not knowing what he was thinking.
Li Xiao didn't speak, so Brauchitsch naturally didn't have anything to say.
For a while, the scene became cold.
Brauchitsch was looking for an opportunity to talk about Peggy, when suddenly there was a knock on the door.
"Come in!"
Following Li Xiao's instructions, Li Lin walked in.
"dad!"
"Um!"
"This...!" Li Lin glanced at Brauchitsch.
