I don't know if I don't ask, and I'm shocked when I ask.

The water in this line is really deep, although it is not bottomless, it is enough to drown Qi Xuansu, but it is not difficult to reach the chest position.

Although the imperial court forbade the sale of human beings and forced good people into prostitution, the court still had a way, first of all, to lure them with profits, and ordinary people worked in the workshop all year round to earn a few wishful money? After arriving at the hospital, as long as you have a point in your legs, one night is worth a month. The key is not to be tired, everyone knows that people are destroyed in the workshop, and after a day of work, they are tired and half dead, and they are also injured after a long time.

Then there are some unruly means, coerced by means of loans, forcing women who are unable to repay their debts to sign the documents "voluntarily".

This is not a new method, not to mention thousands of years of inheritance, since the beginning of brothels, this method has been derived, but now it is more hidden than in the past. There are many less violent methods, and more deception. The so-called nine out of thirteen is to borrow ten Taiping money, and you can only get nine Taiping money, but you have to repay thirteen Taiping money, so it is said that it is a usury, as long as it is stained with this, it is difficult for ordinary people to resist.

After all, Chunfeng Lou has the background of the Teaching Workshop Division, and there should be no such thing on the surface, but these four people are not bustard mothers after all, and it is difficult to explain clearly.

What shocked Qi Xuansu even more was that it was said that many prostitutes were secretly believing in an immortal who was no longer within the scope of the Daomen's permission, and there was no shortage of top Oirans. Because of their low status, they have never been in contact with each other, but have only vaguely heard some half-truths and half-truths.

This made Qi Xuansu think of the Purple Light Society for the first time.

At first glance, it seems a bit nonsense that the Secret Society has extended its hand to the imperial capital, but when you think about it carefully, it makes sense.

Anti-secret associations are the responsibility of the Daomen, and the Dijing Provincial Mansion is the worst of the many Taoist mansions, and for a considerable period of time, the Dijing Provincial Mansion is regarded as a place for the elderly, and it is strange that the area under its jurisdiction is not infiltrated by the secret association. It wasn't until recently that Daomen decided to reorganize the Dijing Daofu, Qi Xuansu was the first batch of Taoist priests after the reorganization of the Dijing Daofu, which is why Qi Xuansu wanted to understand the situation in person, because most of the old people in the Dijing Daofu in the past didn't care about anything, and the rest of the people were like Qi Xuansu, all of them were newcomers who had just arrived in the Dijing Daofu, and they didn't know more than Qi Xuansu.

Qi Xuansu felt a little headache.

He originally thought that it was just to rectify the brothels and crack down on unhealthy tendencies, but in the end he had to be involved with the secret association, and it was also one of the three major secret associations on a par with the Zhiming Sect and the Lingshan Witch Sect.

These four people can't be considered prostitutes at the bottom, but they are still very far from the top and know very little. The top Oirans had gradually moved away from the category of prostitutes, and not only did they have considerable autonomy, but they also had their own connections, and their relationship with the House was akin to a more equal cooperation than a work for the House. If someone cheers for it, it can even be mixed with the name of "everyone", not only famous all over the world, but also has many fans. And since ancient times, there have been many famous prostitutes who have been handed down to future generations because of their poems.

Thinking of this, Qi Xuansu felt that he could ask Li Qingnu, after all, Li Qingnu was a person in the circle of "everyone", and he should know a lot of inside information, the key is that Li Qingnu is Qi Niang's person, and he can be regarded as his own person, and it just so happens that Qi Niang also asked him to talk to Li Qingnu, but he doesn't know if Li Qingnu is not in the imperial capital now.

Qi Xuansu gathered his thoughts and slapped his palms lightly.

The six people in the room who were half-asleep slowly woke up, and in their opinion, they suddenly had a moment of trance, and as for Qi Xuansu's question, they had no impression.

Qi Xuansu stood up and asked, "How much Taiping money did you spend today?" ”

Song San was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly replied: "The two Qingqi people are cheaper, five Taiping dollars per person, and the two Hongqi people are more expensive, ten Taiping dollars per person, counting the cost of wine and private rooms, it will cost about forty Taiping dollars." ”

Qi Xuansu took out a medium ticket from his sleeve and threw it on the table: "Don't keep accounts, just treat it as if I invited it, and you two play slowly." ”

With that, he left the place directly.

Song San and Wu were left looking at each other.

Qi Xuansu came out of Chunfeng Building, stopped for a moment, and was about to leave, when he suddenly saw a young man standing in the shadow that could not be illuminated by the dark red light.

Qi Xuansu stepped forward and joked: "Little brother, at your age, you are a small horse-drawn cart, you shouldn't come to this kind of place." ”

The young man who was looking at the plaque of Chunfeng Building and hesitated was startled by Qi Xuansu, and turned his head to look at Qi Xuansu suddenly, with both vigilance, fear, and helplessness in his eyes.

Qi Xuansu understood a little and asked, "You came here to find someone?" ”

The boy hesitated for a moment, then finally nodded.

Qi Xuansu looked around and pointed to a teahouse not far away that had not yet closed: "This is not the place to talk, let's go over and talk slowly." ”

The young man is a native of Dijing, and he is quite familiar with the surrounding environment, and he sees that Qi Xuansu has a good bearing, unlike Patting Huazi, plus he is already a master of the six gods at this time, as if a drowning person has seen a straw, so after a battle between heaven and man, he nodded in agreement.

When the two came to the teahouse, Qi Xuansu asked for a pot of tea and a few snacks, and said straight to the point: "What's your name?" Do you have a loved one or a young lover who has been abducted by a brothel? ”

The boy opened his mouth, his face full of shock.

After a while, the young man replied, "My name is Zhou Qingshu." ”

Then the boy told Xuan Su about what had happened.

As Qi Xuansu expected, Zhou Qingshu did come to find someone, and he was indeed a little lover. Strictly speaking, it is his childhood sweetheart's little friend, named Mei Mei, the two grew up together and have a good relationship.

But just a few days ago, Mei Mei suddenly disappeared, Zhou Qingshu ran to Mei's house to ask, Mei Mei's parents said that there was a female mage from Vientiane Dao Palace who took a fancy to Mei Mei when she passed by, and felt that Mei Mei was destined for her and had good qualifications, and wanted to take her to Vientiane Dao Palace. So as soon as Mei Mei's parents summed up, they let Mei Mei follow the female mage to the Vientiane Taoist Palace, so that she could become a Taoist priest and a master in the future. Because the female mage was just passing by and had other things, Mei Mei didn't have time to say goodbye to Zhou Qingshu.

Zhou Qingshu is very disappointed, he was born in the market, probably more sophisticated than some twenty or thirty-year-old flower garden Taoists, about one thing, after Mei Mei became a Taoist, the two are heaven and earth from now on, and there is no relationship anymore, Mei Mei will not marry him, but find the same male Taoist priest as a Taoist.

Zhou Qingshu was depressed, so he went out of the city to a wild lake and watched the water by the lake. It happened that there was an old Taoist priest fishing not far away, so the old and the young started talking. Zhou Qingshu mentioned the matter of the Vientiane Dao Palace, but the old Taoist priest said that the Vientiane Dao Palace is a threshold, except for taking the initiative to adopt orphans who have no father and mother, where will they take the initiative to come to the door? It's all other people begging to send their children in, and under the guise of "fate", they don't follow the rules and so on, as early as the five generations of the Great Sect were expressly forbidden, even if they really like it, at most they open a letter of introduction, let the child go to the local Taoist temple accompanied by his family to report, and then the Taoist temple will be sent to the Taoist government, and the local Taoist government will be sent to the Vientiane Taoist Palace after unified screening. In these years, since someone dares to pretend to be Qingluanwei and a man in black to deceive, it is not uncommon to pretend to be a Taoist priest.

Zhou Qingshu panicked at this time, since that woman didn't want Taiping money and only took Mei Mei away, then she was a human trafficker, and Mei Mei was most likely sold to a brothel.

Zhou Qingshu immediately went to Mei Mei's parents, but Mei Mei's parents didn't believe it at all, but thought that Zhou Qingshu was jealous of Mei Mei, and at first he said a few words of comfort, but then he got impatient and directly asked Zhou Qingshu to get out.

Zhou Qingshu went back to Yehu outside the city and wanted to find the old Taoist to testify, but the old Taoist was gone. Mei Mei's parents don't come out, and he can't go to the official.

In desperation, Zhou Qingshu could only go to find it by himself, he had already run four brothels, two "half-closed" businesses, two regular businesses, these brothels were directly kicked out of him, and then threatened, if he came again, he would wait with his fists and feet, so when he arrived outside the Chunfeng Building, he would hesitate there.

After Qi Xuansu listened, he was very emotional.

The former Dijing Daofu was really rotten, there was a brothel involved in a secret association suspected of being the Purple Light Society, and here it was blatantly defrauding in the name of the Vientiane Dao Palace.

If it was Qi Xuansu in the past, it would still be very troublesome to solve these bad things alone, but now there is an advantage, Qi Xuansu can use public weapons, and even ask for support from the Daofu, it will be relatively simple.

Qi Xuansu took out his waist card and pushed it in front of Zhou Qingshu.

Zhou Qingshu was literate, and couldn't help but be startled: "Dijing...... Daofu? ”

However, he had just been deceived by the "female mage" of the Vientiane Dao Palace, but he was a little afraid of the well rope after being bitten by a snake for ten years, and his attitude was hesitant.

Qi Xuansu expressed his understanding and said: "It's not early, early tomorrow morning, you bring the relevant information to the Jade Emperor Palace in Xuanshang Beifang, and report my name to the gatekeeper, my name is Qi Xuansu, and I will help you solve this matter." ”

When Zhou Qingshu heard this, he couldn't help but be sure in his heart, he didn't know where the gate of the Vientiane Dao Palace would open, but where the gate of the Jade Palace in the North Fang of Xuanshang would open, but he knew, whether it was true or not, he would know it at a glance tomorrow morning, and this person had such confidence, most of them were true.

Thinking of this, Zhou Qingshu got up from the stool, lifted his robe, and was about to kneel on the ground and kowtow to Qi Xuansu.

Qi Xuansu waved his sleeves and didn't let him kneel: "You don't have to make this big gift, this is the duty of the Daofu." ”
