Chapter 332 Let's visit the flower building together

  The girls who were sold by Mrs. Yao could be hundreds if not a thousand. She despises ugly and vulgar girls, and despises them for not being able to sell them for a high price. The ones she abducted and bought were all good-looking. The older girls were sent directly to various flower houses and painting boats in Lizhou, while the younger ones were sold to people who raised skinny horses. Of course, there are also many rich people who come directly to her to pick up goods, and if they like it, they take it back to be concubines.

Let's put it this way, Yao Yapo is very famous in Lizhou, and everyone knows that she has good goods in her hands. Every time she comes to Lizhou, the old bustards of various flower houses and painting boats run very fast, just to pick someone first .

  Thanks to the detailed records of Yao Yaopo, Yu Zhi no longer has to waste time and energy searching one by one. As for those who have been abducted for a long time, resold to other places, and whose whereabouts are unknown, Yu Zhi is really helpless.

  There are so many abducted girls, but less than one-third are still alive. The place where Hualou Huafang is, is hell. Some died of heart disease, some would rather die than pick up guests and commit suicide, some escaped and were beaten to death, and some were tortured to death by guests...As long as girls enter this place, there are almost no good deaths. Every year, one person can be replaced, and the loss rate is frighteningly high.

  There are three flower houses in Lizhou, and one family of painting boats. The largest garden for raising skinny horses is Liyuan, and there are even more small private brothels.

  Hualou and Huafang, Yu Zhi is going to come forward to redeem people by himself, but as for those who are sold into a good family to be wives or concubines, let other people inquire about the situation, right? If life is going well and he doesn't want to leave, Yu Zhi will naturally not be troublesome.

   "Third Master, can I ask you something?" As soon as he settled down in Lizhou, Yu Zhi hugged Wen Jiuxiao's arm and acted like a baby.

   "Say." Wen Jiuxiao had already sensed that something was wrong with her, and called that girl He Xiaodie to the carriage every day, chattering, not knowing what to say. And here in Lizhou, they don't need to take this detour at all.

   "I want to rescue them, the third master will accompany me to visit the flower building!" Yu Zhi took out the account book, she must be able to hide from Wen Jiuxiao what she is going to do, since she can't hide it, then tell the truth. Turn him into a friend, this wise and courageous man, who has dealt with all kinds of teachings and nine streams, what a great number one!

  Wen Jiuxiao was very surprised. Zhizhi mentioned it once before, asking him if the government could come forward to rescue the abducted girl.

   "I'm afraid Hualou won't let him go easily." Wen Jiuxiao told the truth.

"I use money to redeem people. The girls in the Hualou must not only be good-looking, but also talented and skilled. Can poor people support them? Although the Hualou said that they use money to buy people, they know the origin of the girls themselves. It's too bad, it can't stand the investigation. It's okay if the people don't raise officials and don't punish them. It's really a big trouble. Those who lost their daughters are afraid to admit it because of their reputation. Do you think they don't hate them secretly? Don't they take revenge? "Yu Zhi lay on Wen Jiuxiao's shoulder, "Don't worry, Third Master, I promise to let everyone 'you love me', fair trade."

  Wen Jiuxiao naturally understood this truth, "Don't rush to redeem people, I will visit the prefect of Lizhou." If you want to do things on the territory of Lizhou, you have to say hello to the prefect of Lizhou.

   "Third Master is so kind!" In this way, what she has to do can be regarded as a clear path, and it will be convenient to cancel the contract later.

   "So many people can get a lot of money, are you willing?" Wen Jiuxiao looked at Yu Zhi, he is a woman who loves money the most.

   "I'm not willing." Thinking of spending so much money, Yu Zhi felt very distressed, "If you are not willing, you have to be willing, who made me meet." Otherwise, she would have a bad conscience.

   There is no rhetoric, no selfishness, only a half-complaining sentence, but Wen Jiuxiao is extremely moved, his Zhizhi is so kind-hearted, she has always been a person with great love.

   It's like Zhixue powder, she is so lazy, even if she complains, she never sends less Zhixue powder to the Northeast Army. She is tough on her lips, but she is actually a soft-hearted person.

   "I will give Zhizhi all the money I earn for my husband." Wen Jiuxiao hugged her in his arms and promised.

   "You said it yourself, you are not allowed to break your word." Yu Zhi was depressed in Wen Jiuxiao's arms, but he didn't take his words seriously. The county magistrate's annual salary is only tens of taels, right? Shanyun County is also a barren land, and there is no way to be greedy if you want to, not to mention that Wen Jiuxiao is not a person who knows how to embezzle, so what money can he earn? She might as well try to find a way to do some business.

  The prefect of Lizhou is surnamed Du, and it was a surprise to receive Wen Jiuxiao's invitation. He can be the magistrate of Lizhou, so there are naturally people in Beijing, how can he not know about Wen Jiuxiao? Although I don't know why he was relegated to such a place as a county magistrate, the county magistrate is not as high as him, but don't forget, he is still Pingbeihou, and he was born in Wu'anhou's mansion. Maybe the emperor sent people out to exercise on purpose, so Du Zhifu didn't dare to neglect at all.

   "Master Xiaowen." When he really saw Wen Jiuxiao, Du Zhifu didn't dare to underestimate this person. That outstanding demeanor is overwhelming, and there is no trace of decadence in the whole body.

   "Master Du!" Wen Jiuxiao was neither humble nor overbearing.

  The two exchanged greetings while drinking tea. Prefect Du had the intention of probing, but Wen Jiuxiao calmly blocked them all. This young gentleman is in his twenties, and the city is deeper than his 20-year-old veteran in the officialdom. He is a formidable young man!

   Until Wen Jiuxiao was sent away, Prefect Du didn't figure out why he came. It was Zhuo Zhengyang who had slipped the tongue with his master.

   "My lord, from what this subordinate heard, it seems that a girl from a relative's family has been abducted here. I would like to ask my lord to help me find her."

  Prefect Du frowned, "Didn't you ask for anything?"

   "No, it should be that we have found out the whereabouts of the person, and he is acting on our Lizhou territory, so he came to say hello to us."

Du Zhifu pondered for a while and said, "It's not something glorious, and people probably don't want us to know, so let's just pretend we don't know." After a pause, he added, "If they find us If you can do it conveniently, I will give you a convenient one."

  He is not a pedantic person either. If people know the rules to greet him, he can’t be unreasonable, can he?

  Yu Zhi began to follow Wen Jiuxiao to the Hualou Huafang to drink flowers and wine. She naturally changed into men's clothes, the kind of women who don't care about men's clothes, and others can tell that she is a woman at a glance.

  Both of them are very good-looking, and Wen Jiuxiao is an official, and the old bustard knows that Yu Zhi is a woman, so she shows her warm hospitality, "Welcome you two masters!"

   Yu Zhi didn't need to talk to Wen Jiuxiao, the two of them sat there, and He Xiaodie, who was also wearing men's clothes, slapped a stack of banknotes into the old bustard's arms, "Call all your girls here."

   Such a thick stack of banknotes cost several thousand taels, right? High rollers, high rollers!

  The old bustard was very pleasantly surprised, and ordered repeatedly, "Quick, go and call all the girls who don't have guests, go!"

  Yu Zhi looked sideways, and He Xiaodie immediately said: "It's all the girls, all the girls in your building."

  The old bustard was a little embarrassed, "Some girls have already been ordered by customers, my lord, what do you think?"

  He Xiaodie snorted coldly, and slapped another stack of banknotes in her arms, "Not one less."

  The old bustard suddenly smiled, "Yes, yes, there will be no less." She went to apologize to the guests herself, and she saw that the two of them tonight could not afford to offend.

  The wine and dishes are on the table, and the girls are also here. They naturally saw that Yu Zhi was a woman and looked at each other in blank dismay. What's going on? Visiting flower houses with a girl? Is it siblings or husband and wife? Therefore, they dare not make mistakes, and no one dares to go to Wen Jiuxiao's side.

   "Starting with you, come one by one in order, first report your name, then perform your talents, and perform whatever you are good at." He Xiaodie spoke again.

  Although the girls didn't understand what the guests wanted to do, they all came as required.

  Yu Zhi and Wen Jiuxiao just ate, drank and watched the performance with great interest. After everyone's performance is over and Yu Zhi is full, what are you waiting for? Let's quit!

Before leaving, He Xiaodie explained to the old bustard, "These girls, our master paid the money tonight, so their time tonight belongs to our master, and they can no longer pick up guests. You two stay here and watch." Then, if they pick up the guests without authorization, you will ask for the money back."

  The bustard hurriedly clutched the purse tightly, "No, no, it's closed, it's closed, and the girls should hurry back to their rooms to rest."

  The girls looked at each other again, and they were still puzzled when they returned to their respective rooms. The guests tonight are really weird, they spent a lot of money just to watch them play and sing.

   2022 is over! Finally ask for a monthly pass!

   Wishing everyone a safe and joyful New Year!
