Liu Keming and Xiaolong followed behind the foreman, stepping on the steps paved by dim light to the second floor, and entered a room with soft and soft substance packaging on the walls.

"You wait here for a while, I'll arrange it for you"

Liu Keming and Yu Xiaolong sat on a sofa against the wall in the room, the decoration of the whole room was very ordinary, the room was not big or small, the light was much brighter than that of the hall downstairs, and it was no longer so colorful.

"Do you come to this place often?" Liu Keming looked around at the items placed in this room and said.

"I've been here a few times, this place belongs to Huayang's industry"

"The whole street?"

"No, almost the entire entertainment industry belongs to Huayang. The street certainly is, but only partially. ”

"Huayang can actually look at this industry? I don't think business is doing much here? It's not as good as those high-end places. Moreover, do you say that these are all opened by Huayang? Did he manage it? ”

"You underestimate this industry too much, of course, Huayang is not the boss of the opening, but only collects protection fees. Every month, protection money will be paid to Huayang's subordinates on such occasions. There are more than 200 such industries in this street, and there are no less than 10 streets of this scale in the city, and there are those that are not concentrated, how much protection money do you have to pay to Huayang every day? Except for the store here today, according to the ordinary small shops outside, there are an average of four girls in each store, you can calculate. These stores will give nearly two layers of income to Huayang. ”

"Don't the police care?"

"Tube? Of course, sometimes they will go out of the way, pretend to enforce the law, or symbolically arrest some people to educate and educate. ”

"I mean I don't care about these hand protection fees?"

"There's no way to manage it, because it's not legal for these people to do this kind of business here, where do they dare to offend the gangsters. The purpose of the people who come here is to make money, and as long as they have business after they have done a good job of the officials and gangsters, the three parties are happy. The history of gangsters is inexhaustible, and it has been a practice for many years to collect protection money, if these people report to the police, then Huayang will only find a few younger brothers to take the blame, and the person who denounces it will be retaliated against by Huayang next. Over the years, pornography and gambling in the city have always been the focus of governance, but it has not been effective, as for drugs, the young brother is very cautious, so it has not attracted the attention of the police for the time being. ”

"Is that hard to fight this?"

"It's not difficult, but the relationship is too complicated. The city's teahouses and sister shops generate a considerable part of the city's tax revenue. As long as there are KTV and other entertainment venues here, there is no one who is not involved in pornography, and there is almost no one who is not involved in gambling in the game halls and teahouses in the street. The city's external environment looks good, but as long as you are exposed to these aspects, it is actually dirty. Because Liu Peng's gangsters control these industries, as long as Liu Peng's gangsters will exist, it will be difficult for these industries to be completely rectified. ”

"So, to completely correct the illegal activities in the city, it is necessary to put an end to the gangs"

"You're only half right, and it's a small half, and the umbrella behind this gangster power is the key."

Liu Keming looked at Xiaolong, and always felt that this Xiaolong was a little strange, "Hehe, we are discussing here in full swing, discussing how everyone's illegal activities, how everyone gangsters, actually forgot their identity as a gangster member, is it possible that they still want to destroy themselves." ”

"Hahahaha," Xiaolong laughed. Liu Keming also smiled, and the two of them both smirked with their own calculations.

The door opened, and the foreman entered the room with a few girls, and then lined up in front of Liu Keming and them.

Liu Keming looked at the girls in front of him. These few look much younger, some of them are promiscuous and a little childish, they don't wear much, they don't wear very heavy makeup, because they are young, so they don't need to apply too much retouching on the skin.

"How? These are the little innocents in our store, so let's carry them to the room if you like them, right? The maître d'Être still had a big smile on her face, and her smile was still on her face, as if it were carved on her face.

Liu Keming stared at the shorter one in the middle of this row of girls in surprise, because this girl still had tears on her face, and her face was not red because of the powder.

"This" Liu Keming pointed at the girl and said, "How old is she?" ”

At this time, the foreman finally restrained his smile, sat beside Liu Keming, and whispered to Liu Keming's ear: "Let me tell you, is she still a place?" I'm not yet 14 years old, and I just arrived today. ”

Liu Keming was shocked when he heard the foreman's words, he was still **, this is a serious crime, if he took her into the room, then he would be raped, and Liu Keming still knows the basic knowledge of these laws.

"I think he's a little reluctant?" Liu Keming said.

"Huh? The first time of course shy? Reluctantly, she can't help it. You can bring it in as long as you like. The foreman said, glancing at the little girl with displeased eyes, as if the expression on the little girl's face had affected her mood.

"But, is this under the age of 14 still a ** in law? Having a relationship with her is a crime that is punishable by rape, and it is an aggravating circumstance. Liu Keming deliberately pretended to be worried and said.

"Well, you have a lot of legal knowledge, so it's hard that you learned this rape criminate the best when you were in school. Of course, just kidding, as long as you like it, you just take it away, I promise it's okay, it's not me who blows, we have already taken care of the police station, you can rest assured. Otherwise, we wouldn't have been able to stay open for so long. ”

"Okay, it's her," Liu Keming said, pointing at the little girl.

When the little girl heard that she was being pointed, she lowered her head even more, and stepped her head to the side slightly.

Of course, the foreman was not happy, so he stepped forward and grabbed the little girl's hair and pulled it forward, putting the little girl's head straight, and Liu Keming saw the tears still on the little girl's face. The foreman slammed his palm on the girl's face, and a dirty word came out of his mouth, and then waved his hand again.

"Okay, what do you want me to think when the time comes?" Liu Keming sat there and said.

The foreman hurriedly withdrew his hand, and his angry expression immediately turned one hundred and eighty degrees into a smile and said, "Of course, you have the right word. That's it, but just now I also said that this woman is a virgin, and the price is high for the first time. ”

"How much?" Liu Keming asked.

The foreman stretched out five fingers and gestured and said, "Five thousand, and it doesn't cover the night, it can only be fast, and you have to pay half of it first." ”

Xiaolong watched the foreman take out two stacks from the inner pocket of his jacket and throw them to the foreman and said, "Is it enough?" ”

"It's a lot," the foreman said with wide eyes, but quickly picked up the two stacks of "It's really too much, it's not so much" but he didn't withdraw from the extra money.

"If you have more, you will keep it," Xiaolong said.

"That's really thankful, I see that the two of them are big bosses, I wish you a lot of money in the future," the foreman grinned and said, "Then which one do you want to choose, this handsome guy?" ”

"Just the one on the side," Xiaolong said, getting up and pulling the one next to the row of girls.

"Can you take it out, I don't want to be in it," Liu Keming said at this time.

The foreman was putting the money in his handbag and said, "No, this is the rule, the conditions for us to sleep here are very good, I will arrange the best room for you, but it is not okay to take it out, especially the one you took away." Of course, I'm not worried about you, I'm not worried about this person you took away, what if you run away? ”

"Okay, since that's the case, I won't embarrass you" Liu Keming said and got up and took the little girl's hand, the little girl suddenly retracted her hand, Liu Keming grabbed her wrist, this time it was very tight, and the girl was not resisting.
