4-61 Faculty Division. cooperate

The Department of Teaching Workshop is a small institution under the Ministry of Rites, the Department is nominally a ceremonial institution under the management of the department, but in fact it is a government-run brothel, which accommodates the wives and daughters of criminal ministers as prostitutes, and men are musicians, and the prostitutes of the teaching workshop are also different from ordinary prostitutes in Qinglou in terms of identity, and the girls of the general folk brothels can go ashore from the good when they have saved enough money, or they can meet the benefactor of Duojin to help them redeem themselves, but the prostitutes in the teaching workshop cannot, not only for life, but also for the children born to engage in this business, the women continue to be prostitutes, and the men are turtle slaves.

The prefect of the Teaching Workshop Department called it Fengluan, which is only the ninth grade, but the oil and water in this position are very large, so the people who serve as Fengluan are all people with some skills. Liu Ziguang and his entourage arrived at the gate of the Jiaofang Division, and when the two entourages went in to find Fengluan, he still showed his face with a cow than a cow, and the military master of the red-shirted regiment didn't eat that, so he would naturally be honest after a meal, and obediently came out to meet Uncle Zhenwu.

"Li Xiangjun, the young lady in the former Changxin Hou's mansion, this official wants to take her away." Liu Ziguang said the purpose directly, and there was no need to go around in circles with a nine-grade official.

"Uncle, this is a bit difficult." Bong Luan said with a sad face.

"How do you talk to Uncle Zhenwu? Uncle wants someone, do you dare not to pay it? Liu Ziguang's entourage slapped again.

"Xiaguan doesn't mean this, it's like this, today Miss Xiangjun is listed, and all the nobles in the capital are present, whoever pays the highest price can get the right to the first night, you think, the charming young lady of the Hou Ye's family in the past, who doesn't want to taste it." There are so many people around, if you can't see anyone by then, Xiaguan, the sect priest Fengluan, will be considered the end. Uncle, if you want to come to this one, you might as well go to the building to shout the price, you just shout, how much is the official's ....."

Feng Luan misunderstood what Liu Ziguang meant, and thought that he wanted to sleep with Li Xiangjun first, so he made such a move self-righteously.

Liu Ziguang was furious, Li Xiangjun was just a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl, and she suffered this catastrophe because she was born in the Li family, this kind of criminal Zhulian system is really indignant, and at present, his ability is not strong enough to modify this deep-rooted system, so he can only save one by one.

Liu Ziguang ignored Fengluan, and walked straight into the flower building, only to see that the building was full of prostitutes, most of these prostitutes with green eyes were middle-aged and elderly, and they seemed to be pampered, either high-ranking officials or wealthy businessmen, and they may have often gone to Changxinhou's mansion before, and they were also called Uncle Shi and Uncle Shi by Xiao Xiangjun. Now that the young lady of the Hou family's family is listed for auction of the right to the first night, these former elders are hurriedly running to cheer, it is really a hot and cold world.

Li Xiangjun sat on the platform with a hijab on his head, unable to see his face, and his thin body in colorful clothes kept trembling, like a lamb to the slaughter, pitiful and helpless.

The shouting price has come to an end, and the highest bid has reached an unbelievable five hundred taels, even the night salary of the first-class Qingjun people in the Qinhuai River is only this price, most of the prostitutes have stopped shouting, and only a few fat-headed and big-eared guys are still constantly increasing the weight, but the range is already very small, and they are all ten or twenty taels up.

Liu Ziguang was just about to speak, when suddenly another person came in from outside and shouted: "My master will give 10,000 taels of silver!" ”

The huge price of 10,000 taels suddenly frightened everyone, 10,000 taels, even if you can buy several Yangzhou thin horses, no one dared to bid, and Zuo Shaowu, the teacher in charge of the auction, made a final decision: "10,000 taels!" The highest bidder wins. ”

Liu Ziguang didn't care where he came from, he went straight up and pulled Li Xiangjun and left, and there was an uproar in the flower building. The errand officer of the Teaching Workshop Division saw the entourage wearing a flying fish suit behind Liu Ziguang, so he naturally did not stop him, and those middle-aged and elderly prostitutes did not have the courage to do so, so they only dared to shout with the noise, but later the man who shouted out the high price of 10,000 taels shouted, and seven or eight men in strong suits rushed out from behind, all holding steel knives, blocking Liu Ziguang's way.

The two sides immediately fought each other, with knives out of the sheath pointing at each other, Liu Ziguang's ten entourages were wearing flying fish suits, and the embroidered spring knives they held were people in the government at a glance, although the other party was wearing ordinary clothes, but they were not afraid, and the steel knife in their hands was as bright as autumn water, and at first glance it was the best Liguo Iron Factory.

"Slow down!" There was a shout from behind, and a person who looked like a steward hurriedly walked in and said to Liu Ziguang: "My lord, my master asks you to come out to talk." ”

There is a round and square emblem on this person's clothes, which is the symbol of Rishengchang, it seems that the mysterious master is Miss Hu, Rishengchang is relying on the care of the Empress Dowager Li to reach it, but it provides financial support for the Donglin Group of the anti-queen party, Hu Yimin is the niece of the queen mother, the princess who is very fond of her, but she is the right protector of the Donglin Party, and has made a great effort in the action against the queen mother, she and Li Xiangjun are cousins, but let the cousin fall to the teaching department, think about it, this is a mystery.

The two sides put away their knives, but they still looked at each other vigilantly, Liu Ziguang handed over the stunned speechless Li Xiangjun to his subordinates and ordered: "Send it back to the house." Then he walked out of the flower building alone.

Hu Yimin's carriage stopped on the road, Liu Ziguang boarded the carriage, and Miss Hu, who was dressed in a plain dress, was sitting in the carriage waiting for him. ”

"Where to go?" Liu Ziguang asked.

"Find a place to have a drink, I guess you must have a lot to know."

"Hu Protector, I don't have anything to know, even if I am curious, I will check it myself."

Liu Ziguang subconsciously felt that Hu Yimin was a dangerous person, so he spoke a little politely.

Hu Yimin remained silent: "Actually, even if Uncle Zhen Wubo doesn't show up today, I will rescue Xiangjun and send him to your house." ”

"Why did you send it to my house?" Liu Ziguang is even more strange.

Hu Yimin smiled lightly: "I invited you to get in the car just to tell you all this......"

The carriage came to a luxurious restaurant by the Qinhuai River, the guys here seemed to be very familiar with the carriage of Rishengchang, and as soon as the car entered the door, he greeted the two guests and invited them to the upstairs private seat.

It's dinner time, the peak of business, but there are only two of them on the huge floor, and the silence makes people feel very abnormal.

"This restaurant is the property of Rishengchang." Hu Yimin's faint words dispelled Liu Ziguang's doubts.

"These are my usual dishes, and I hope they will satisfy your appetite." Miss Hu beckoned Liu Ziguang to eat the vegetables, but she didn't move her chopsticks, just picked up a glass of blood-red wine and took a sip gently.

Liu Ziguang also picked up the glass in front of him, held the bottom of the glass with his palm, the temperature of his palm made the aroma of the wine come out, he sniffed the wine, and said, "Miss Hu has something to say to me, please." ”

Hu Yimin was silent for a while, and then said, "Do you know why my name is Yimin?" ”

This kind of question naturally does not need to be answered, so Liu Ziguang did not speak, just quietly waited for the following, he came today to be a quiet listener.

"That's the meaning of taking Yimin, my mother's name is Li Min, and I died when I gave birth, so my father gave me such a name in honor of her."

"My mother died in the ancestral hall of the family, because she corrupted the style of the family, and her father made a private agreement for life, so she was beaten to death by the old lady of the Li family and several brothers, but at that time she was already pregnant with Liujia, and I was born under the heavy beating and died of blood loss soon after, and I was born without breath, they thought it was a stillborn, so I swept it with grass with my mother and threw it into the wilderness, fortunately I was rescued by the old family who rushed to collect the body, and I have today."

When Hu Yimin told this true story, his tone was flat and unfazed, but it shocked the audience, it turned out that Miss Hu still had such a miserable past, and for a while Liu Ziguang forgot to drink the wine in his hand.

"My father is just a poor scholar in Huizhou, of course he will not be a suitable son-in-law in the hearts of my grandfather and uncles, not to mention that my mother is determined to marry into the palace, so they will be so ruthless, there is also my aunt, that is, the queen mother Li Na who lives in the cold palace now, if it wasn't for her informing, maybe my mother and father would have gone away long ago."

This is just as exciting, Liu Ziguang listened to the entry of Hong Kong, Hu Yimin stopped drinking, he hurriedly urged: "What about later? ”

"Later...... Later, my father took me to wander, wear hundreds of clothes, eat thousands of meals, and finally raised me, my father was full of talent, but because of the relationship between my grandfather and could not participate in the scientific examination, I had to devote myself to the business sea, incognito, relying on the capital of a copper coin to become a famous big business in Huizhou. ”

"Later, my grandfather, who was as hard as iron, finally returned to the West, and my father felt that the business was very big, and he had a little capital to speak, so he took me to the door to ask for an explanation, but he was beaten by two uncles, and at that time, no matter how rich the businessman was, he couldn't compete with the officials..... so we had to hide the hatred in our hearts."

"Then I gave birth to the change of seizing the palace ten years ago, my queen aunt inherited my grandfather's ruthless bloodline, united nine thousand years old to defeat the prince of the East Palace, mastered the government, I don't know what way she passed, actually found her father, to borrow a large amount of silver as a military salary, at that time the court was not as good as now, there were no taels of silver in the treasury at all, my father agreed to her after careful consideration, and the Hui merchants raised a huge amount of money to solve the urgent needs of the court, and since then the status of the Hui merchants has also been recognized by the court, Father's Rishengchang also started the business of the ticket number money village, with the support of the queen mother of the dynasty, of course, the wind and water, the day into the gold. I think maybe my aunt is using this method to make up for the guilt she felt about her mother. ”

"My aunt recruited me into the palace, and I was pity, saying that I looked like her dead sister, but these could not resolve the hatred in my heart, so I secretly joined an organization called Donglin, in fact, I don't know who they are, but I know that they are enough to overthrow the Hou Party as the purpose, in recent years, Ri Shengchang has provided no less than one million taels of silver to Dong Lin, and I also sat on the position of the so-called right protector, thanks to the blessing of my mother in the spirit of heaven, and also relied on the efforts of all colleagues, and finally overthrew the Hou Party and the Eunuch Party, My two hateful uncles also died in the Fengtian Temple, and their wives and daughters were sent to the Jiaofang Division. ”

"Your revenge has been avenged, but Xiangjun, this kid is innocent." Liu Ziguang said. He had already understood this story, but why did he get Li Xiangjun to the Teaching Division, and why did he rescue him and send him to his own house? These two questions remain unanswered.

"Xiangjun has been pampered since she was a child, so it's okay to let her suffer some hardships, as for why you want to send it to your Zhenwu Uncle's Mansion, it's simpler, because my cousin likes you." After Hu Yimin finished saying this, he tilted his neck and drank the residual wine in the cup.

Liu Ziguang was taken aback, he didn't expect Li Xiangjun to like herself, it seems that she really came to save her today. But why did Hu Yimin do this good thing, she is neither a matchmaker nor Lei Feng, and there must be other purposes for making such a move today.

"Hu Da's shopkeeper's move is not just for the beauty of adults, right? If you have anything to say, don't be vague if you can help. Liu Ziguang said straight to the point.

"Cooperation, what I want is cooperation, Zhen Wubo is from the iron factory, we are from Hui merchants, although we now have a certain position in the imperial court, but the foundation is unstable, there is a danger of going out at any time, the birds are exhausted, the good bow is hidden, the cunning rabbit is dead, the lackeys are cooking, those bureaucrats from the right way are not able to tolerate people like you and me. is the so-called tree big wind, you won't not understand this simple town martial arts, right? ”

Liu Ziguang is really a little worried, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty usually has a penchant for killing heroes, and now he holds the power of the forbidden palace and controls the soldiers and horses of the five cities, in case someone secretly says something to the emperor, it will be miserable, he is not afraid of turning his face with the court, but the brothers are now married and settled, and it is very unrealistic to raise a sword and go out of the capital again.

"Okay, tell me about the terms of your cooperation." Liu Ziguang agreed to Hu Yimin's proposal after a little thought.

After some discussion, Liu Ziguang returned to the mansion with a heavy heart, and as soon as he entered the courtyard, two of his subordinates came over and said: "My lord, we will send Mrs. Xu to a place where you have no worries about food and clothing according to your instructions." ”

Liu Ziguang nodded: "Yes, let this old thing spend the rest of his life in prison." ”

The two subordinates looked at each other, and then said in unison: "My lord, the place you said is a big prison where you have no worries about food and clothing, we ..... us to send Mrs. Xu back to her hometown directly." ”
