What is this? The proprietress didn't react for a long time, aren't the girls in the Qinglou all her personal belongings? Not to mention the captivity and coercion, even if she is beaten to death, the government will not pursue it too much, right?

Drunken Qinglou didn't do this, but several other Qinglou had this kind of thing, and in the end, it wasn't the money that was spent.

After all, they are helpless, either street children or orphans, who cares about their life or death?

Wait a minute—she suddenly realized that something was wrong, how did the Secretariat know about this?"

"That's right. She has already signed up for the special training course of the Secretariat, and today is supposed to be the first day of registration. Li Xing tapped on the table and said, "Liu Ruyan's absence attracted the attention of Lord Fuchengxia and Her Royal Highness the Princess, and then we learned that such a thing had happened in the Zuiqing Building. Seemingly...... You've confessed to all of this. ”

The proprietress sweated suddenly.

She overlooked one thing.

That is, now that the government has failed, the real management of the city is the Jinxia General Affairs Bureau.

Liu Ruyan is nothing at all, but the other party moved out of the name of the Privy Council and Princess Guangping, and the nature of the matter changed.

She didn't believe that whether a Qing person went to report or not would attract the attention of these two big people, and the other party came to the door at this time, and could only say that the bureau itself was staring at Zuiqinglou, and Liu Ruyan was just an excuse for them to act!

Since it is an excuse, it doesn't matter whether it is right or not to imprison and coerce Liu Ruyan, what matters is what the Secretariat wants to do.

The proprietress immediately pushed Qian Yin to Li Xing, and at the same time said with a flattering face, "My lord, you misunderstood. I really didn't know she was the person the bureau fancied. In fact, as long as Lord Xia says this kind of thing, how can I stop it, it's too late to be happy for her! In addition, this time, the second time is ripe, and you often come to the drunken Qinglou to play, and it is not a problem to fold the cost in half. ”

In an instant, she was ready to hand over Liu Ruyan to others.

In business, this is a necessary point.

Although she may offend Zhou Dacai, anyone with a discerning eye knows that she can't be blamed for this - a ruthless character who can't even be beaten by the Wang family, where does Drunken Qinglou dare to disobey.

As an old bustard who has been in this industry for decades, she also knows one thing in her heart, that is, the Secretariat has no intention of tearing her face, and even has a little idea of secrecy, otherwise she would not have sent only one person, but would have led a large team of people to seal up the Zuiqing Building.

Li Xing tossed the silver aside, "I'll admit it to you." ”

"My lord!" the proprietress hurriedly said, "This matter can't be said to be reasonable, but it's commonplace, and the arrest team can't punish me for this, right?"

"Lord Xia did say that the law does not go back to the past, so what you did to Miss Liu Ruyan is the last case. Li Xing took out a document and spread it out in front of her, "This new policy will be announced soon, and there are regulations prohibiting restrictions on personal freedom, illegal imprisonment, and lynching, so take a look at it yourself." ”

The proprietress leaned over and took a closer look, and suddenly felt a chill behind her!

There is not a single word in this new deal that mentions Qinglou, but it hits her heart throughout!

"My lord, this matter—not feasible!" the proprietress said lamentingly, "If you don't restrict your movements, won't the girls just leave if they want? I have raised them for more than ten years, and I don't even have the right to beat and scold them? What about those who sold themselves into slavery? Their freedom is no longer under the control of their masters? As soon as the new policy comes out, this Jinxia City will definitely be in chaos!"

She knew very well what she was relying on to get the Qingqi people to obey orders and earn her a lot of money. One can't be locked up, and the other can't be tortured, how many of those people will obediently stay in Zuiqinglou?

Don't talk about the Qing people, even the red people are afraid that they will be ready to move.

The only thing that could have restricted the latter was the redemption fee, and if other Qinglou bought it at a high price, he couldn't break the other party's leg to make an example?

"Don't take yourself too seriously, even if there is not one in the ten Qinglou, Jinxia City will not be affected much. Li Xing imitated the tone of his boss and said, "Anyway, this matter has been decided, although Lord Fucheng stipulates that the law will not be retroactive, but I ask you to immediately inform every woman in the hospital of the new regulations." Neither the ransom nor the right to comb can be used as a reason for restricting freedom or threatening, and if they are willing to redeem themselves by other means, such as working to earn money, the Qinglou may not interfere in any way. ”

"My lord, you are going to get drunk with the life of Qinglou!" the proprietress howled.

"The new rules have been shown to you, and it's up to you to decide what to do. Li Xing was indifferent - he knew that even if these people lost the Qinglou, they would have saved more than the vast majority of city residents, and crying was just a bargaining gesture. "But if something like this happens again next time, you and I won't be sitting here talking—the dungeons of the Privy Council are still empty. ”

......

Liu Ruyan, under the leadership of Li, walked into the mansion in the center of the Privy Council, and the little girl she saw that day came out of this big house.

Passing through a lobby full of tables, she came to a side room lit with candles, and Li closed the door behind her.

"You may be seated. ”

The man, who was writing something quickly at the square table, pointed to a chair opposite.

It wasn't until Liu Ruyan sat down that she realized that the man in front of her in a simple gray cloth robe was probably the person in charge of the Secretariat and the Privy Council, the red man in front of Princess Guangping, Lord Fucheng.

And the other party's words also confirmed her conjecture.

"I'm Xia Fan. You're Liu Ruyan, aren't you?" he asked as he picked up a stack of papers and flipped through them, "Hey, no light is trouble, and it's hard to look at a directory." ”

Electricity...... Liu Ruyan blinked, what is that?

"Lord Xia, please exercise some restraint. Li on the side reminded expressionlessly.

"Hmm, according to the content filled in the registration form......" Xia Fan's gaze stayed on the paper, "You are familiar with poetry, know how to paint, and can play the piano and chess?"

Liu Ruyan couldn't help but feel that her cheeks were a little hot - in order to improve the possibility of passing the registration, she wrote everything she knew in one go. Although she can really be called good at it in the Zuiqing Building, it is just a small square well, the so-called people outside the world, and there are heavens outside the sky, she doesn't think this thing can enter the eyes of the other party.

After all, this person is the pride of heaven who has already grasped the real power of the mansion before he reaches the weak crown, and it is also a rare existence in the entire Great Apocalypse.

"Back to my lord, the folk girl is just a little bit ......"

The fox demon couldn't help but chuckle.

Xia Fan also showed a hint of a smile.

Liu Ruyan was a little apprehensive for a while, did she answer something wrong?

"Coincidentally," Xia Fan put down the list and said, "I just happen to know a little bit about everything." But a little bit is enough, and with this resume alone, you are the excellent talent that the bureau needs. I happen to have a job and there is a shortage of people, Miss Liu, would you like to give it a try?"

Outstanding Talent ...... Job......?

The meaning of these words, could it be-

Liu Ruyan raised her head in surprise, "My lord, what do you mean......"

"Well," Xia Fan nodded, "you've been selected as a reserve officer." ”
