Jiapingguan Chronicle

Chapter 714 Uncle Huaiyin 3.0

Although Fengyitai is not a brothel under the jurisdiction of the Jiaofang Division, it is indeed a formal brothel registered and registered in Jingzhao Mansion, not some wild way.Moreover, Fengyitai's reputation in Xijing City is firmly above that of the brothels under the jurisdiction of the Jiaofang Division. In the past 30 years, eight out of ten of the ten recognized oirans in Xijing City came from Fengyitai.

In addition, Fengyitai is still a time-honored brand in Xijing City, and it has a history of at least a hundred years since it opened.

"In other words, this is the property of the Tantai family, specially for cultivating female agents." Jin Miaomiao glanced at Shen Cha, who nodded slightly, "Sure enough, those rumors are not groundless. It is a fact that the house controls the courtiers."

"This is a conventional method, not an original creation of the Tantai family."

Shen Cha wasn't surprised at all. In the early days of Shadow's creation, she also considered such a method, but she always felt that doing so was too immoral and there were too many unstable factors, so she gave up.Later, many people, even the first emperor, came to persuade her, but they failed to get her to nod.The method she dislikes and despises will not be shaken no matter what.

"What the general said is that there are very few people in this world who are as principled and conscientious as the general." Yan Ruyu smiled at Shen Cha, "The reason why the general and the princess don't like me is because I can understand that I was disrespectful to the Duke and the General, but at the same time, it also aroused the General's vigilance towards the Huaiyin Uncle's Mansion, right?"

"Madam did it on purpose?" Shen Cha immediately understood Yan Ruyu's meaning, "The Tantai family stretched their hands too far! But at that time, Madam had already cut off contact with them?"

"Say it's a severance, it's not so easy." Yan Ruyu's face showed a bit of bitterness, "It's easy to get on a pirate ship, but it's difficult to get off a pirate ship." She looked at Shen Cha very seriously, "The general said that the shopkeeper was arrested." You caught it, you’re not trying to deceive me, are you?”

"The shopkeeper is just a pawn, and the boss is the big fish, isn't he?" Jin Miaomiao had seen the list provided by Mu Sheng. Bai Meng and the others first arrested the boss of Fengfengyitai, and then seized Fengyi. tower. "Madam hates the shopkeeper more than the boss?" She glanced at the two little girls sitting obediently beside Yan Ruyu, "If it's inconvenient, we can ask the two ladies to sit in the side hall and wait for us It's over, you go back home together."

"No need." Yan Ruyu shook her head lightly, "I have never kept my background from them, and there is no inconvenience at all." She smiled at her two daughters, then turned her head to look at Shen Cha and Jin Miao Miao and Song Jinyu, "In the 15 years I was at Fengyitai, I never met the so-called boss. As for Mr. Jin's so-called hatred, I can't even talk about it. I just...don't bother to be with them."

"What a disdain to be with them." Song Jinyu tilted his head and looked at Mrs. Huaiyin, "However, you said that you have been in Fengyitai for 15 years. You grew up there? If I remember correctly, you married Huaiyin Uncle was sixteen or seventeen years old?"

Song Jinyu said while looking at the Empress Dowager, she was a little worried that what they were talking about would make the Empress Dowager bored, but it turned out that the Empress Dowager listened to them with great interest and spirit, so she let go of her heart and looked Turning to Yan Ruyu again.

"Your Highness the Princess is right. I was indeed 16 years old when I married my uncle." Yan Ruyu lowered her head slightly, "I am an orphan. I have lived there since I can remember. I met Uncle. Although Fengyi Terrace is registered in the government, the essence has not changed, the methods that brothels should have will still have, and the filth that should have will not disappear because of this."

"What does Madam mean when she says dirty?"

"When I was young, Xijing City was not as stable as it is now. It was full of people of unknown origin, ruffians, hooligans, and human traffickers. I could meet them every day. Some girls in Fengyitai, except for those real orphans , I can’t find my parents, and most of them were bought from human traffickers. I don’t know their origins very well, but some of the sisters who are more familiar with me are from the border. For them It is much better to be kidnapped and sold to the brothels in Xijing by human traffickers than to stay at the border where wars are frequent. At least, they don't have to worry about losing their lives at any time." Yan Ruyu looked at Shen Cha, "General Don't think too much, you were not born at that time!"

Shen Cha didn't speak, but just stared at her, motioning for her to continue talking.

"We started learning when we were three or four years old. Not to mention being proficient in everything from piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, we have to be about the same. If we don't learn well, we will be beaten by the teacher. In fact, it is very hard." Yan Ruyu's expression was very flat, It seems that it is not their own business, but other people's business. "Besides, we still need to learn how to use clichés, how to comfort others, and let them speak their minds on their own initiative."

"Only by letting go of your defenses can you inquire about the news you want to inquire about." Shen Cha nodded, "I heard from Her Royal Highness that Madam became the youngest oiran of Fengyitai with a song "The Goose Returns". Starting from this night, Famous in the entire Xijing city. With the fame of the wife at the time, it is not difficult to obtain some information, but according to the confession of the shopkeeper and the boss, it is not the case."

"Did they say that I was extremely uncooperative, and the information I got back was useless?" Seeing Shen Cha acquiescing to such a statement, Yan Ruyu shrugged, "Before I fled that place, I always thought that The shopkeeper and the boss are all working for foreigners. The news that we people find out will eventually become a knife that falls on the people and soldiers at the border. As a Daxia person, why do I have to do this kind of mourning? What is good? It is my fate to be a prostitute, but I will not betray my country because of it."

"But you don't know, they are not working for foreign races, their master is a mysterious family."

"Yes, a family that I've never heard of, but whose methods are extremely vicious. Many little sisters around me died at their hands." Yan Ruyu looked at Shen Cha, "Just now the general gave me The sign you see belongs to their family. That family controls the entire Fengyi Terrace, and all the people here work for them."

"When did you know about this?"

"One month after escaping from Xijing, they blocked them in Jiangnan." Yan Ruyu smiled bitterly, "I never thought that their power could extend from Xijing to Jiangnan. I thought it was a dead end. Unexpectedly, they let me live and told me something that I didn't know before."

"When you fled from Xijing, Uncle Huaiyin was with you?"

"Yes."

"So, what you know, he also knows?"

"..." Yan Ruyu was silent for a while, "Yes, uncle knows. But the general, uncle has nothing to do with this."

"Whether it matters or not, neither you nor I have the final say, but His Majesty has the final say." Shen Cha looked at Mei Zhu, "Report this news to Your Majesty, do you want to invite Uncle Huaiyin into the palace for questioning?" , is up to His Majesty to decide."

"Yes!"
