Chapter 068: The Cause of Suicide
"You guys are really very good at it, and you can actually invite Old Man Xia here?"
Ying Cheng said to the women around him.
"The gentleman will make fun of my sisters and others, and my sisters have such abilities, how can they entertain people here."
"That's it, why did you come, sir, if you were here last night, nothing would have happened to the steward."
"The steward is different from us, yesterday the doctor from the Tai Yi Department came, and today the Tai Yi Ling arrived, is there anything wrong?"
Ying Cheng squinted.
Of course not!
Qin officials in Xianyang have incurable diseases, and they are all looking for people from the Imperial Medical Department.
Therefore, the steward of the building committed suicide last night, and the doctor of the Tai Doctor Department arrived in time for such an urgent matter, which is reasonable.
But the Imperial Doctor ordered Xia Wuhe to come in person, so it was different.
The steward of the building is a small Qin official with an annual salary of 100 stones, and there are so many such officials in Xianyang City, how can Xia Wuhe be present in person?
Don't look at the first emperor in the palace who is sick and Xia Wuhe goes, the eldest son who is sick and Xia Wu, and Yingcheng who is sick and Xia Wu, as if Xia Wuhe is very worthless.
But in fact, the official position of the Imperial Physician Ling is the secretary of the Qin State, with an annual salary of 2,000 stones, and he is the absolute high-level of the Qin State!
Most of the patients Xia Wuhe saw were members of the royal family, and there were definitely few lowly ones.
"Steward, you're awake!"
The goose-faced beauty exclaimed, resounding through the room.
As soon as the women heard this, a swarm of bees ran past Ying Chengcheng and ran to the bed, which inevitably had physical contact in the process.
Ying Chengcheng can pay 100 gold for the stewards who often serve him, and this money affection is red in the eyes of the women.
"Steward, it's good you're okay."
"Steward, you're finally awake!"
"If you want to drink some water, I'll get it!"
The women chattered.
There is some sincerity and some falsehood, then I don't know.
"Sir."
The steward did not quarrel with the women, but sat up with the help of the goose-faced beauty, and his bloodless face clearly showed weakness.
"Tell me why I committed suicide." Ying Cheng stepped forward, did not pity the jade, and said with a pretty face.
The steward was in pain, but he didn't dare to scream, and looked at Ying Chengcheng with a pair of big eyes pleading.
"Sir, you can let the steward go."
"It's not that the gentleman missed the appointment first."
"Sir, have you really been fined for three years?"
Through the dialogue of the women, Ying Chengcheng pieced together the reason for the suicide of the female steward.
Last night, after the group of noble children came to the balcony, they took all the concubines on the balcony, and they really held an uncovered meeting in the pavilion hall and between the inner and outer doors.
The concubine is a slave and has no right to resist, even if she is extremely humiliated, she can only be bent to welcome.
If this is the case, the housekeeper will only smile and collect money, and will not say a word.
Who cares about the psychology of concubines?
They're not human.
But the bad thing is that these people ask prostitutes to do the same.
As mentioned before, prostitutes have certain rights, they can choose to pick up customers or not, and they can choose to go to bed or not.
But the reason why it is said to be a certain right is because in most cases, they still have to obey the requirements of the guests, because they also have revenue assessments.
But they seem to be much better than the female stewards, and they are not assessed on an annual basis, but on a monthly basis.
However, the monthly assessment is not required, and you don't need to go to prison, you can just go out from the building.
However, they who are accustomed to doing the things of the wind and the moon, and are used to eating the delicacies of the mountains and seas, can they get used to the life of the people after they go out?
I can't get used to it.
Without guests to feast, no matter how hard they work, they can't eat good food, from thrift to luxury, from luxury to thrift!
Even if they have some strong willpower, can do hard work, and can eat coarse tea and light rice, that will not work.
Men work hard, but they don't have enough food.
Women's weaving, insufficient clothes.
Exhaust the world's wealth to serve its government.
Men work hard every day, but they can't fill their stomachs.
Women weave desperately every day, and there is no guarantee that there are enough clothes to wear.
Exhaust all the money in the world to support the reign of the First Emperor.
They are pampered, and their physical strength is ten times worse than those outside women who spin all year round, so their spinning efficiency will also be ten times worse.
The Qin women who often spin can only barely support themselves, and even if they are not afraid of hardship or tiredness to work day and night, there are only two possibilities - exhaustion or starvation.
Therefore, when all the guests on the balcony agree that if they do not meet their needs today, they will call on all their friends to never come to the balcony again tomorrow, these beauties are in a dilemma.
agreed, this kind of thing can be one or two, and from now on, it will be like those concubines, not being treated as a person, and there will be no possibility of turning over.
If you don't agree, you won't be able to pass the assessment at the end of that month, and if you go out, you will die.
Of course, you can also continue to stay on the balcony.
But then it will turn into a concubine who can't help herself, so it's better to agree now, and you can leave a fig leaf.
Seeing this, the housekeeper stood up to play a round, and the guests heard the words and proposed a second plan.
If the steward of the building can accompany them to the meeting, he can let go of the prostitutes, and one person can be exchanged for a group of people, or not?
This second plan immediately put the pressure on the female butler.
The housekeeper smiled and delayed the time, and asked someone to go to Chang'an Jun's Mansion to invite Ying Chengcheng to come.
Ying Chengcheng was taking a bath in Xianyang Palace at that time, and the people who went to the balcony naturally pounced.
The housekeeper pinned her hopes on Ying Chengchan, but Ying Chengchan did not come, and the female housekeeper was only a little disappointed, not desperate.
She thought that it was a big deal, so she shouldn't go down today, and she would discuss it when Ying Chengcheng came tomorrow.
Ying Chengcheng contributes half of the revenue of the building, and every time she comes, she has to call several beauties to sleep with her.
I don't dare to say more, but it's still okay to give a month's performance to all the prostitutes in the building.
Today, all the guests came to take revenge on Ying Chengcheng and the female steward.
When he saw that the people who went to the balcony didn't call Ying Chengcheng, he was disappointed, so he focused all his anger on the female steward.
They took out a volume of notes that had been written long ago, which roughly meant that Ying Chengcheng was fined three years.
At the end of the note, there are the signatures of so many of them.
The stewardess looked at it and despaired.
Because if the above words are false, these people are spreading rumors, and this bamboo slip is evidence, and they will be punished by the Qin Law.
A person who spreads rumors about a monarch is not a prison sentence, but a tongue cut.
These guests dare to write like this, which means that this is true, Ying Cheng Chan was really fined for three years, and Ying Cheng Chan has no money.
