Huang Muling was a little curious: Sending someone to check a brothel, in addition to checking officials, what else can it do?

However, he also knew that it was best not to ask more, so he and Lu Chenglin hurriedly walked down and left the Illusion Pavilion. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

When they came down from the upper floor, they saw a man of about forty years of age, dressed in half-new muslin clothes, walking in front of him with a dejected face, and immediately guessed: 'This man must be an official of the court, and he has been found.' ’

When they walked out of the Illusion Pavilion, they were surprised to see blood stains on the door; Lu Chenglin looked to both sides again, and saw that the doors of several nearby brothels were in a mess; Looking around, although the color could not be seen clearly at night, with the help of the lanterns hanging in front of the houses in this area, I saw countless policemen walking around the street, and I was immediately shocked: 'Your Majesty, what is this going to do?' How did you mobilize so many people? Could it be that there are river and ocean thieves hiding here? ’

But it's a pity that he guessed wrong, with his knowledge, he can't understand the reason why Yun Xi put on such a big battle.

……

……

Li Yihai continued to the next room to record the names of people; After a while, the names of all the guests were finally recorded.

They can't guarantee that all the names of people are correct, but they all have vision, and an official who has been in the top position for a long time is completely different from a businessman who flatters him from all sides, and they just need to make sure that the official's name is correct.

After recording the names, Li Yihai drove away all these people who were looking for flowers and willows. Sister Han Yue naturally felt sorry for the silver, but at this time, she caught up with the guests and asked them to give out the money for the previous wine and food? It's not good enough to offend the guests! So she could only watch dryly, and even said with a smile: "I'm sorry uncle/son, I'll play again in the future." ”

can be regarded as sending all the guests away, Sister Han Yue felt that her face was stiff, and this time she thought that she could finally send these plague god policemen away, but they didn't leave, and searched the house one by one. Sister Han Yue didn't know what they were searching, and she didn't dare to stop it, but she thought to herself: "I must tell the owner tomorrow that this half month's business is over, and I can't afford such a big crime." ’

After a while, she heard one of the policemen say to Li Yihai, who was in the lead: "Captain, no forbidden items have been found." ”

Sister Han Yue suddenly broke out in a cold sweat! Usually, their brothels don't care as much about forbidden things as ordinary people, and many decorations that can only be used by royal or high-quality officials have been used. Fortunately, no one uses it today, otherwise it would have cost hundreds of dollars to make it up. And it may not work to deal with it, it is possible that Ying Tianfu closed their brothel.

For her owner, the closure of a brothel is a huge loss, but it is not enough to break the muscles and bones, and it is enough to open another one after the limelight has passed. But for herself, if she can't say it, she will be exiled to the border.

She had heard a lot of horror stories about border gates. Because there are a large number of people who have been exiled in the border area, and most of these exiles are men, so the fate of the woman who was exiled to the border pass is tragic, she was originally an old bustard, and it is estimated that she will ...... the border pass, in short, Sister Han Yue is afraid when she thinks about it.

But then the policemen didn't leave. Li Yihai gathered all the prostitutes together and said to them: "There is a saying in the "Da Ming Law" decreed by Emperor Taizu that those who force good prostitutes will be decided! If any of you are forced to become a prostitute and stand up and report it, the heavens will definitely administer justice to you. ”

Li Yihai thought that he said these words, and the reputation of the police in the capital is also good recently, and there will be many female prostitutes who have been sold here to expose and report, but the truth is that there is no one who speaks, and Sister Han Yue stood aside and did not speak, but sneered.

Li Yihai was very puzzled and said it twice, but no one reported it, and when he wanted to say it for the third time, a policeman who had been left on the street walked in and said to him: "Brother Li, everyone else has closed the team, why did you still confiscate the team?" ”

Li Yihai was unwilling, but since everyone else had already closed the team, he could only accept the team back with hatred.

When he left, Sister Han Yue looked at his back and sneered: "You want my girls to expose and report me?" Dream! ”

……

……

Li Yihai returned to the street and walked towards the meeting place with his head a little dejected. As he was walking, he suddenly heard someone say, "Lao Li, why is this the case?" Could it be that the patrol met his son's top boss? ”

When Li Yihai looked up, he saw a man in his thirties with a full beard smiling and talking.

Li Yihai said angrily: "You just met your son's boss!" ”

This person's name is Liu Fengyu, and like him, he is a person from Yulin Zuowei, who was also injured and discharged from the army, and later became a policeman in Yingtianfu.

Liu Fengyu said: "Then why are you so frustrated? ”

"When I was in the Phantom Pavilion just now, I said for a long time that no one reported the old bustard of the brothel, I really don't know what's going on." Li Yihai said.

"Me too. You say that in this brothel, how many female prostitutes can really be born in happy households? Aren't most of them forced into prostitution? There was not a single report. Liu Fengyu continued.

The two sighed in confusion and continued to the meeting place.

……

……

Of course, not all brothels are unspoken. In a brothel not far from the Phantom Pavilion, a young prostitute exposed the old bustard's forced prostitution. The police who led the team were overjoyed and immediately arrested Lao Bustard and others. The turtle slaves and prostitutes were also put into custody.

Li Guan didn't tell what to do with these female prostitutes before, so he temporarily decided to bring them over and let Li Guan deal with them personally; As for these turtle slaves, it is easy to say, those who have evil deeds will be exiled to the border pass, and those who have no evil deeds will be released after a few days.

Wei Bandang, who was in this brothel, sighed in his heart why his life was so bad: "I finally found a place to eat Ansheng, but it turned out to be gone." ’

……

……

The next day, when Yunxi went to court, he saw that Huang Huai was already waiting in the Qianqing Palace.

Yun Xi sat down in his seat and said to him, "How was last night's raid?" ”

Huang Huai handed over the fold and said, "Your Majesty, last night Yuan County ordered Li Guan to personally preside over and raid dozens of Qinglou Chu Pavilions on the side of the Qinhuai River, and recorded the names of a total of seventeen officials. ”

It's not much. Yun Xi thought.

"A total of 227 names of the children of officials have been recorded." Huang Huai continued.

"What?" Yun Xi said directly this time: "Why are there so many? ”

Now this industry in the Ming Dynasty is not developed, even in the most prosperous capital, there are only twenty or thirty high-end brothels with a larger scale and ordinary female prostitutes - Qinglou Chu Pavilion, why are there so many children of officials?

Yun Xi took the fold in Huang Huai's hand and opened it to look at it. The first thing he looked at was the list of officials. The first one is the Shangshu Ru Yu of the Criminal Department.

"This," the six high-ranking officials were caught violating Zhu Yuanzhang's ban, not only Ru Yu himself would feel embarrassed, but Yun Xi would also feel embarrassed.

'What were you doing at the brothel last night!' Yun Xi thought indignantly.

Fortunately, there were no big officials after that, they were all minor officials. However, this list is not necessarily exhaustive. People who come to Beijing from other places can be identified by their accents, and if there is no guide on them, they are either fugitives or officials, and they can't be hidden; But if it was a local official in Tianfu, such as Qi Tai, who casually said that he was a person or a talent, the police would not be able to tell the difference.

However, now there is only one Qi Tai who is a big official around Ying Tianfu. And Qi Tai, other Yunxi didn't dare to guarantee that he wouldn't go to a brothel, he still believed it. So it's nothing to miss a few local officials.

Yun Xi picked up the list of officials' children and looked at it again. He probably slipped through it, and he saw that they were basically the children of some hereditary generals in the army. Because these people have already set their futures, although they can also practice martial arts, they are not as hard as the children of civil officials who have not decided their futures.

Moreover, although the military generals are the same as the civil officials of the same level, most of these hereditary military generals were rewarded when the country was founded, and most of them bought the fields when the fields were cheapest, and their families were much richer than most civil officials; In other words, it's bad to have money to go out.

Yun Xi flipped through it and thought to himself: 'In the late Ming Dynasty, the guard system was corrupted, and the hereditary generals treated the soldiers under them as slaves and served as envoys at will. It is enough for the ancestors to make meritorious contributions to the descendants and to open a little more, but this hereditary system of military generals must be abolished in the future! Yoon-hee made up his mind.

Yun Xi flipped through it casually, and wanted to tell Huang Huai a few words, but suddenly saw a few familiar names.

'Huang Muling, Lu Chenglin, Zhang Quan, these are all noble children. Lu Chenglin's father is a marquis, his mother is Aunt Runing, and she is also my cousin; Zhang Quan is the son of Zhang Wen; Although Huang Muling does not have a title in the family, Aunt Qingyang is still there, and she is also a noble, or my cousin. ’

Speaking of Princess Qingyang, Yun Xi immediately thought of Zhu Wenzheng, who was posthumously crowned King of Jingjiang. Princess Qingyang is the younger sister of Zhu Wenzheng, the first year of Hongwu was crowned princess, and then some officials said that according to the etiquette, the emperor's niece can only be crowned the county lord, Zhu Yuanzhang said, "I only have these two nieces, and I can't bear to be lowered." "So keep them as princesses.

In fact, it can be seen from this incident that although Zhu Yuanzhang himself formulated a bunch of rules for future generations to strictly abide by, he himself often did not abide by the rules he formulated.

After Yun Xi succeeded to the throne, some officials proposed to demote them, which made Yun Xi severely criticized: The first emperor named my two aunts princesses, and you asked me to surrender to the knighthood, what is your intention! Divide the evil of the heavenly family!

After Yunxi pacified the Luxie Rebellion, he crowned the eldest daughter of Zhu Zhi and others as a princess, which is also an example of them.

Yun Xi thought for a moment and said, "These prostitute officials, if you go to the afternoon to break down, I will demote them all, and Ru Yu is no exception." The children of these officials, I just ordered a reprimand; Zhang Quan and a few of them, I want to talk to Zhang Wen and them face to face. ”
