20 years of the Republic of China

Chapter 427 Uninvited Guest【6k】

The seal on the door of Huifangli has long disappeared, but there is a wooden sign saying "Closed for rectification" hanging on the doorpost. Naturally, the business has not been opened for a long time.

At dusk, Fulong called all the brothers who were watching the show and the servants of the brothel to the lobby and lined up in a row.

Not long after, the girls gradually came out of the room, walked down the stairs, and stood face to face in front of everyone. They were all lazy, slow, and listless.

When Fulong saw this, he felt a little dissatisfied and scolded him sharply: "What are you doing! My boss sent people to see the business today, and they all stood up for me!"

"Isn't it already here? How can I stand still?"

"You're not a soldier. Who are you standing at attention to look at?"

"Who are you going to send here again this time, or the little guy from last time?"

The girls suddenly burst into laughter as they talked.

The last time Chuanghu came to Huifangli to work as a "teacher", he had only theory but no practical experience. As a result, he was teased by the girls and was defeated. His face was lost and his soul was greatly hurt. From then on, he had no practical experience. Never came again.

Although these twenty or thirty kiln ladies are not as beautiful as the others, they are quite beautiful and far from being as shabby as Xue Yingqing said.

"Shop Manager Xue, please go first!"

Wang Zhengnan stepped forward and ordered everyone: "My boss has something to say about Huifangli's business. Whatever shopkeeper Xue says, I'll do it!"

They naturally knew the fat man Wang Zhengnan at the door, but he did not come in directly. Instead, he turned sideways and said respectfully to the woman beside him:

They have the ability to stay with someone, and usually they are just hookers. Even if they pick up clients, they have a fixed relationship, and the money they earn will naturally be "split" with the prostitute.

The business downturn in Huifangli was not something that happened in the past two years. As early as when Xu Ruqing was the shopkeeper, it had already been impacted by the "Nanbang Library".

When night fell outside the window, there was a sudden sound of carriages on the street. Fulong quickly put on a smile and answered the door.

Since she retired, the regular customers stopped coming, and the kiln sisters who were affiliated with her ran away whenever they could. The rest were either old and yellow, or were tied here by contracts and could not move.

Most of these girls are "Qing Guer", all of them are eloquent, can play the piano and strings, and occasionally some can even sing in the brothel.

However, the girls seemed to have long been accustomed to such derogatory remarks and did not take it seriously at all. They just stood there in silence, laughing and scolding others.

"Thank you very much, Manager Xue!"

Girls, you look at me and I look at you. They are silent to each other, but they understand each other very well. They either lower their heads or turn away, touching the hair accessories on their heads here and arranging the hair on their chests there. Although the necklace and the standing posture have not changed, there is nothing left but an empty frame, and the aura of aura has long since disappeared without a trace.

Immediately afterwards, Xue Yingqing returned to the middle of the lobby, glanced at the girls, and asked, "Are these all my family members?"

There are no tigers in the mountains, the monkey is the king!

"whispering sound--"

Seeing that the scene was becoming more and more chaotic, Fulong yelled: "Laugh! You're still fucking laughing! Your skin is itchy, are you looking for a slap in the face?"

It was common for girls to knock teapots from the kiln, but they didn't seem to be afraid of Fulong. They still stood slantedly and didn't take it seriously.

However, Chuan'erhong is very popular, and when she is here, there are regular customers who are willing to come and support her.

As soon as these words came out, Wang Zhengnan and others couldn't help but feel a little surprised.

"This is Shopkeeper Xue!"

He pouted his butt, rushed out the door and said in a low voice: "Hey, my boss is not here? Then this must be shopkeeper Xue! Okay, okay, everything is ready, please come in quickly!"

"Yes, yes, the old one won't go away, and the new one won't come. If you ask me, it's time to change it."

Although the girls suppressed their laughter, they still showed disdain.

Fulong nodded quickly: "Yes, yes, they are all from 'Huifangli'."

If they are all bad, then the women on the street might as well find a tree branch and hang themselves to death.

Fulong followed behind and explained in a low voice: "Some time ago, some brats came to the store to cause trouble and smashed a lot of things. I just can't rest anymore."

Xue Yingqing walked past the girls, glanced briefly at them, and then immediately frowned.

Waited like this for a long time.

Of course, the Jiang family can take advantage of others by force, but you still need to be tough in order to do it. If you always rely on tyranny to do business, the business will not last long.

Not only did they feel happy, but even the handyman couldn't help laughing when he recalled it.

Wearing a dark green cheongsam, she is no longer flashy in her dress. She looks dignified and beautiful in every gesture, looking forward to her glory.

The voices were not uniform, so Xue Yingqing ignored them and looked around the venue, then said, "The store is pretty okay. What's going on with the stairs, tables and chairs?"

Fulong immediately chimed in and said, "Why are you still standing there, you're all fucking mute?"

In fact, in the prostitution business, not all brothel ladies signed a deed of sale, and many of them were free.

Xue Yingqing was not polite and immediately walked into the store, followed by Tou Daozi, Kang Zheng, Dong Erniang, and the two compatriots who were talking nonsense.

I saw Xue Yingqing passing the threshold, looking around at the interior decoration of the store as she came slowly, as if the spring breeze was blowing on her face, with a faint fragrance. When she reached the middle of the room, the entire lobby seemed to be a little brighter.

"What the hell is this? You fished it out from a half-closed door. With such a good character, why can't you attract customers?"

"Are these broken pieces of wood worth repairing? Tell Boss Jiang to replace them with new ones as soon as possible!"

This question and answer sounds a bit baffling.

All the brothers were in a daze, and unconsciously started paying attention, as if they were waiting for the epiphyllum, for fear of missing a glance.

The girls poked their heads around and followed the sound.

Fulong smiled bitterly and said: "After Sister Hong retired, there wasn't much contact between the store and Zha Zizhi. After the establishment of the Republic of China, the superiors tightened the control for a while, and some lines were simply broken. In addition, the business was sluggish, and it was difficult to recruit people. , so the girl didn’t do much.”

Xue Yingqing snorted coldly: "That's a lot of talk! Did Boss Jiang pay to hire you just to listen to you make excuses here?"

If you don't have the ability, just say you have the ability!
Fulong was ashamed and couldn't help but turn around and glance at Nanfeng, his heart suddenly beat.

Just as he was talking, Xue Yingqing walked slowly to the end of the long queue and stopped in front of a Yao Sister with her arms crossed.

After looking carefully for a moment, she saw that the girl had a pair of almond-shaped eyes, a pleasant appearance, and she was not too old, so she finally smiled.

"Well, this one looks pretty good. At least it doesn't look disgusting."

"Shopkeeper Xue is right. This girl's name is Xiaotao. She has the longest face in the store in the past two years. She is considered the number one in our 'Huifangli'."

Xue Yingqing immediately spat and cursed: "Bah! Pulling a big guy out of a scumbag, this is a bullshit number one!"

Fulong's mouth was dry, he wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said hurriedly: "Yes, yes, that... Xiao Tao, come and see Shopkeeper Xue!"

Xiao Tao felt unhappy, but she reluctantly put down her arm and stepped forward to bow.

"Hello, Shopkeeper Xue——"

Unexpectedly, without saying a word, Xue Yingqing suddenly raised his arms and raised his hands, and slapped Xiao Tao hard in the mouth!

Just hearing a crisp "pop" sound, the poor girl tilted her head and took two staggering steps. She didn't stop until she bumped into the girl next to her. Three faint blood marks suddenly appeared on her cheek!
"Why did you hit me!" Xiao Tao covered half of her face, feeling aggrieved and with tears in her eyes.

"Snapped!"

Xue Yingqing slapped her backhand again, and then cursed: "My aunt is beating you for being such a bitch! If you can accept guests, who are you bitch if you don't?"

Wang Zhengnan and others were dumbfounded on the spot - they had seen unreasonable people, but never seen such unreasonable people. How could a good business become a sin?
They didn't understand what it meant, but the older sister Yao knew it well.

In the jargon, this is called "temple bombing".

In fact, there is no reason at all. He can be beaten whenever he wants. The purpose is nothing more than to remind Sister Yao that you are just playthings for people's entertainment.

However, Xiaotao has been the pillar of Huifangli in the past two years. She has always been supported and coaxed by Han Xinyuan, and she has never been aggrieved at all.

If he had really made any mistakes, he would have been beaten. But now, in front of so many people, he was slapped twice for no apparent reason. Whoever it was, it was inevitable that he would feel a little bit resentful in his heart.

Although Xiaotao didn't dare to fight back, she glared hatefully.

"How dare you stare!" Xue Yingqing scolded sternly, "Come here, tear off this bitch's bones and find a place to tie him up!"

The servants looked at Nanfeng, and after receiving confirmation, they immediately picked up the hemp rope and pounced on it.

"Fight!" Xiao Tao struggled and shouted, "Don't you just want to establish your prestige? I will help you! Beat me to death, and the business here will be even worse!"

Xue Yingqing smiled coldly: "Ha! You bitch, you really think of yourself as a role. Don't give in later!"

You pushed me and tore me apart a few times!
But in the blink of an eye, Xiao Tao's upper body was left with only a pink turban, and she was tied to a chair with her bare back exposed.

"Where's the whip?" Xue Yingqing stretched out his hand and asked.

After saying that, a handyman quickly handed over a whip as thick as a little finger.

Xue Yingqing received it in his hand, but he was not in a hurry to beat Xiaotao. Instead, he gently twisted the whip rope with his thumb and index finger, then immediately handed it back and said in a deep voice: "It's not this one, bring another one!"

The handyman frowned and said hesitantly: "No, there is no other whip. I usually use this for domestic tricks..."

"Bullshit!" Xue Yingqing rolled her eyes, turned around and asked, "Where did Xu Ruqing live before?"

Fulong's face stiffened, he pointed to the east room of the lobby, and said with a dry smile: "That's Sister Hong's room in the store over there. Mr. Han - no, no, when Han Xinyuan was there, he never moved, always saying that Sister Hong I might come back to see it one day, so I just kept it empty!”

Xue Yingqing didn't care about that, and immediately strode into Chuan'erhong's room, rummaging through the boxes and cabinets, as if he was convinced that the senior sister must have a whip hidden in the house.

After a while, she actually pulled out a small, dusty wooden box from under the bed.

Pushing open the lid, I saw a whip two fingers wide, black and shiny, coiled in the box like a poisonous snake.

Xue Yingqing took it out and gently held it on the whip rope, feeling a faint tingling sensation in his palm.

This is an eight-pronged whip made of several leather ropes. Countless fine needles are buried in it, dipped in ink, and whipped hard on the body. It will become a tattoo on the spot!
When they returned to the lobby, the older sisters saw the whip and immediately subconsciously took half a step back. They couldn't help but rub their arms with their hands, and goosebumps suddenly appeared on their flesh wounds.

Fulong hurriedly came over and persuaded with a smile: "Shopkeeper Xue, this whip hasn't been used for a long time. It's easy to get into trouble with this..." Xue Yingqing was slightly startled, then seemed to understand something, but asked in a cold voice : "Why, I'm beating up a kiln girl, and you bastard still feels sorry for me?"

"No, no, you really know how to joke, but Xiaotao is the number one now, and the store is counting on her for business!"

"Fart! It's such a big place, if you just expect a bitch like her to do business, you might as well stop doing it as soon as possible!"

After saying that, Xue Yingqing found a tea table and sat down, and ordered: "Dong Erniang, do it! The slut will accompany the cabinet and straighten her out!"

Dong Erniang agreed, picked up the whip, and walked directly behind the girl.

Xiaotao is young and doesn't know how powerful this eight-pronged hidden needle whip is. At this moment, she is still holding on and refusing to give in for the so-called face.

Of course, even if she relented at this moment, it would be of no use.

Since it was a temple bombing, no matter what he said, he would not avoid a severe beating.

Although Dong Erniang always looked like a "little bird who loves people" in front of Zhao Guoyan and the brothers, now she had completely changed.

Looking at the girl's body, I don't know where the blood hatred came from. She gritted her teeth with hatred, her eyes flashed fiercely, and she immediately raised her arms and whipped her!

"Whoops!"

The eight-pronged hidden needle whip shot down from the air, carrying a demonic wind, and struck the girl hard on the back!
As if she had been electrocuted, Xiao Tao immediately arched her body, straightened her insteps, and hugged a cup tightly with both arms. She seemed to be possessed by an evil spirit, twisting her torso crazily, and she was in excruciating pain!

I saw her raising her chin, the veins on her neck popped out, she opened her mouth, but no sound came out!

Two or three seconds later, there was an inhuman scream before she vomited it out from her throat with difficulty!

"Uh-"

When the whip went down, it felt itchy and painful, as if a fire was burning on her body. The pain made Xiaotao shed tears and sweat like rain!

Looking at the girl's back, above the bright red whip marks, dense needle holes can be vaguely seen, and sparkling blood is oozing out at this moment!

Many people turned away on the spot and couldn't bear to watch anymore.

Seeing this, the other sisters in the kiln felt their calves twisting, their back molars chattering, their spines feeling cold, and their whole bodies shivering uncontrollably.

When Dong Erniang raised the eight-pronged whip again, Xiao Tao was already frightened out of her wits, her face was bloodless, she was howling and pleading, twisting her back and hiding wildly.

"Stop fighting, stop fighting, I know I was wrong!"

"Whoops!"

The whip was finally struck!

For no other reason than because the whip has been raised, it must be struck without any hesitation or any good intentions.

There is no good person in this room, and if the one who punishes her is soft-hearted once, Sister Yao will think that she is easy to bully, and they will definitely join forces to suppress her in the future.

"Okay!" Xue Yingqing stopped Dong Erniang and asked Xiao Tao, "Do you know why I beat you?"

"I know, I'll stay with you..." Xiao Tao looked at Fulong and the others resentfully, "They forced me. If I don't agree, they'll beat me..."

"Ok?"

"Whoops!"

Xue Yingqing glared, and Dong Erniang immediately whipped the girl again.

"Ah! Stop fighting, stop fighting!" Xiao Tao's voice trembled, and she quickly changed her words, "Blame me, blame me! I'm a slut..."

Xue Yingqing turned his head, looked at the other kiln ladies, and asked, "Where are you?"

The girls remained silent and nodded dully.

Dong Erniang rushed over, crackling from beginning to end, giving each one a slap in the face, and scolded: "Accompany the cabinet! I asked you to accompany the cabinet!"

When Fulong and the others saw this, they couldn't help lowering their heads in shame, as if the slaps had all hit their faces.

The so-called "accompanying the cabinet" means that the girl sleeps with the teapot and the thug in the same bed.

Logically speaking, unless the shopkeeper specifically orders them to provide extra lessons for newcomers, this kind of behavior is always strictly prohibited in high-end kilns.

After all, although the girls are professionals, they can't help but take turns with the guests and the teapot.

The girls dare not disobey the thugs who use violence to force them. If things go on like this, they will inevitably become indifferent to the guests.

If you "dismiss a guest" once, the guest will stop coming; if you "disable a guest" twice, the guest will stop coming.

Over time, Xu Ruqing's "good reputation" for Huifangli was naturally gradually exhausted, and she fell into a dead end.

The business of prostitutes is sluggish, and there are no more than a few reasons: either the place is not good, or the girls are not good enough, or the gangsters are causing trouble, or they are going wild internally.

The first two are not big problems. Considering the power of the Jiang family, except for Xiaodongyang's trouble last time, no one would dare to mess with Huifangli's business.

So, if the business is sluggish and the kiln sister is looking at the house, the crux must be civil unrest.

The girls didn't dare to say anything, so Fulong and others became more and more presumptuous.

Anyway, it was not my own business, so I didn't feel sorry for the disaster. In addition, Jiang Lian was busy fighting with Master Rong Wu, Hu Xiaoyan had just given birth to Jiang Ya, and most of the brothers watching were accomplices, so the scandal was concealed.

In other words, Fulong and the gang of brothers watching the scene were the problem, and maybe even the shopkeeper Han Xinyuan was involved.

Having said that, it was Sister Yao who was beaten!

It's not that Xue Yingqing didn't dare to provoke Fulong and others, but the rules of the brothel have always been like this.

Whether it's voluntary or forced, it's always the kiln sister who is in the wrong.

If you voluntarily accompany the closet, that's mean; if you're forced to accompany the closet, that's coquettish - they are justified no matter what!
The many rules of the brothel business actually have only one ultimate goal: to carve the word "contemptuous" deeply into the girl's bones.

Xue Yingqing sat at the tea table. Seeing that the girls were all honest, his stern expression gradually softened.

"You guys, who is making the tabletop and who is making the kang noodles?"

The girls looked at each other and whispered back: "We no longer distinguish between 'Qing Guo'er' and 'Hun Guo'er'. They are all doing whatever they want to catch up with."

"You can still mess around, are there any rules?"

"Xiao Tao used to make tableware. Later, when shopkeeper Han saw that the customers disliked her, he... forced her to make kang noodles."

"You're confused! If you only care about making quick money, how can you just go to the kang? It's all in vain!" clear?"

Fulong smiled and defended: "Shopkeeper Xue, this... I, I also tried to persuade Han Xinyuan before, but he just didn't listen!"

"Aren't you going to listen?" Xue Yingqing sneered twice, "I think it was your idea! What, do you dare to say that you haven't slept with me?"

The smile on Fulong's face froze, and he couldn't help but glance at Nanfeng again.

Wang Zhengnan rarely had a cold face, but today he caught up with him.

Xue Yingqing waved his hand impatiently, then turned to the kiln sister and said: "I told Boss Jiang that the business in Huifangli will be managed by Dong Erniang from now on. Her words are mine. From now on, I will also take care of the business." I have to re-establish rules for you!”

The girls didn't dare to say another word. They lowered their hands and listened quietly to the lecture.

"From now on, no one is allowed to 'look at the house' in the store, and all of them go to the streets to solicit customers! Huifangli is no better than before, and you have no right to wait here for pie to fall from the sky! In the past three months, Even if the market is not on holiday and the weather is cloudy, you still have to serve me tea! "

Xue Yingqing glanced at everyone and continued:
"Whether you're making tabletops or kang noodles, everyone must open a plate once a day! 'Man Tang Jing' and 'Man Tang Hong', it's not your first day in the industry. You all know what's going on, right?"

"I know..." the girls replied weakly.

If one person fails to open his plate, everyone will be punished and beaten. This is called "full hall police"!
It is not only to spur the kiln sisters, but also to sow their relationship and make them hate each other and stop forming gangs.

However, if everyone opens the plate, they will still be punished and beaten, which is called "full house"!
Everyone opens the market, which means that everyone is a born bitch, a slut who deserves to be beaten, for their parents, for the sake of God!

Of course, the beating at this time is just symbolic, meaning - it is not the girl's flesh that is beaten, but the girl's soul!

"And!" Xue Yingqing immediately said to the busboy, "clean up Xu Ruqing's house quickly, and no one will worry about it in the future. What about the red sister and the green sister? Without her, Huifangli's business would still be in vain? "

The handymen nodded quickly.

Xue Yingqing looked at the crowd again, and suddenly advised earnestly: "From now on, set up an incense table in the back hall. If you have nothing to do, go there and pay your respects. I hope your business will prosper. If you are a kiln lady in this life, you have committed a sin in your previous life. Don't even think about it." Just calm down and stop daydreaming. Let’s wait until the next life to discuss anything else!”

Saying this is just to make the girls believe in their fate and accept their fate, nothing more.

All these rules are usually the strictest when the brothel first opens. Once the girl is trained and becomes famous, there is no need to repeat them again and again.

Unfortunately, the rules in Fangli have been ineffective for too long, and now we have to start from scratch.

Fortunately, the girls are not new. With the splints on, it won't take long to get back on track.

While he was being lectured, there was a sudden "rumble" of footsteps outside the store door.

Everyone looked surprised. Just as they were about to go over to check, the two door panels were kicked open from the outside with a bang. They saw more than a dozen burly men swarming in, looking like jackals and as powerful as tigers and leopards, running rampant. Pounce over, shouting wildly!

"Bitch! Damn it, first come, first served, no one can compete with me!"

Upon seeing this, Toudaozi immediately took a step across to protect Xue Yingqing behind him. Kang Zheng and others immediately stood around, looking wary!

The dozen thugs who were watching the scene also quickly picked up the guy, stood side by side, and angrily yelled: "Fuck you, just stand there and don't move!"

The dozen or so strong men were dissatisfied and resentful, and immediately shouted back: "Fuck! I'm licking blood from the tip of my knife. Who the hell are you trying to scare! Come on, if you have the guts, chop here!"

The two sides didn't want to give in to each other, they were blushing and swearing at each other, and they were about to get angry!

At this moment, another command was heard from the street: "Everyone, please stop!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a figure flashed at the door, but it was Li Zheng who strode in, and behind him, there were actually more than a dozen strong men following him!
Everyone's hearts trembled, and they couldn't help but secretly wonder: Where did he get so many people?
Li Zheng walked into the lobby and saw Daozi's guarded expression. He couldn't help but chuckle, raised his hands and folded his fists.

"Brother, you're fine!"
