Fang Xiaoru smiled contemptuously and said: "That's called obscene, not romantic. What is romantic? There are poems and books in your belly that come from China, and articles that last through the ages come from romance."
"Brother Fang is very talented in writing and speaks well." Han Du bowed his hand.
It's like this when you meet a close friend and a thousand glasses of wine are enough. Chatting with each other can make people excited and make them drunk.
The feast was lively and lively. After everyone had eaten and drank, they gradually dispersed and went about their own business.
Grandma Li was stayed by Han Du and asked her to take her to visit the Jiaofang Division. After all, Han Du had just stepped through the door and didn't know much about Jiaofangsi.
In Han Du's opinion, the Jiaofangsi was just a singing and dancing entertainment venue, but after Han Du followed Grandma Li to visit the front and went to the back, he discovered that the Jiaofangsi actually had a torture hall.
Han Du sat on the main seat of the torture hall, looked up at Aunt Li, frowned and asked, "Why is there still a torture hall?"
The punishment hall cannot be set up randomly. In addition to the prison and punishment hall in the Ministry of punishment, as far as Han Du knows, only the Jinyiwei, which has not yet been established, has the imperial edict and punishment hall. But Han Du never expected that this Jiaofangsi also had a torture hall.
"Sir," Nanny Li lowered her eyes, lamented, and explained: "Some of the women in the Jiaofang Division are orphans, and some are family members of prisoners' families. Those orphans can be said to have lived extremely miserable lives. They often The precarious situation of being half full and hungry for two days. Coming to Jiaofangsi became a happy place. Although the status is a bit lower, life is still better than before, so these people rarely complain. However, adults will not think that those criminals The official’s family members have no complaints when they come here, right?”
"They were originally well-off young ladies, ladies or wives from official families, but suddenly they came here to do the menial work of serving others. How could they be willing to do so? Some people would rather die than do this. Come to the Jiaofangsi. In order to prevent the female musicians from causing trouble with the dignitaries who came to the Jiaofangsi, this execution hall was created as a place to punish disobedient female musicians."
Han Du frowned when he heard this, and couldn't help asking: "Punishment? How to punish."
Aunt Li looked a little sad. Obviously she didn't want to mention these things, but when faced with Han Du's questions, she had to explain everything to Han Du, "It depends on the situation, it's lighter, like those A woman who is unwilling to endure hardship and learn music will most likely be punished with a whip. Then she is asked to continue learning. If she refuses to learn, she will be whipped again until she gives in. Most women can't stand it. In the end, I can only be obedient."
"For those who are unwilling to play with the guests, they will be locked up in a shabby room at the back, or they will be given hard, tiring and dirty work and forced to do it..."
When Grandma Li said this, she hesitated.
Seeing her hesitation, Han Du asked, "Why don't you say anything? What else is there?"
"Furthermore," Granny Li gritted her teeth and whispered: "For those women who would rather die than obey and are not easy to take out to serve the guests, usually the person in charge will signal everyone to take her away. Torture her to death..."
Han Du's eyes suddenly shot out a fierce light, and asked sternly: "What did you say? Murder?"
Aunt Li nodded with a sad look on her face, suppressed her sobs in a low voice, and said: "Such things happen every year, and there are quite a few of them every year, and no one cares about their life or death. It wasn't until after the last lord left office that the Jiaofang Secretary Without stewards, this situation would not have happened.”
Han Du felt quite uneasy after hearing this. He didn't expect that Jiaofangsi was a place that looked down upon human life. It seems that the girl really did the right thing when she asked me to come. Although Han Du thinks that he is not a good person, because in Han Du's thinking, "good people do not live long, and harm will last for thousands of years", Han Du has never taken the word "good person" to heart. But Han Du is definitely the person who hates to care about human life. In Han Du's view, every person has the value of his existence. The reason why the former priests considered these women who refused to accept guests as worthless was because of the incompetence of those officials.
No wonder even Jiaofangsi, who stands at the top of the entertainment venues in the capital, is almost starving to death. Those who were promoted in the past were just a bunch of idiots.
Han Du raised his eyes and looked at the execution hall in front of him with disgust. On the old and mottled beams, the blood of countless young and beautiful women was flowing in the dark cracks. Outside the execution hall are the dark rooms that look like cells, as well as large areas of abandoned and dilapidated places. I think these are small black rooms where disobedient female musicians are punished and places where they are forced to do hard labor.
What a wonderful place, but it was turned into this by the idiots of the past.
Han Du shook his head, stood up suddenly, and ordered: "Tomorrow you will find some people to demolish all the torture hall and the dilapidated houses behind it, and clean up those abandoned places for me."
Aunt Li did not agree immediately. Instead, she bowed to Han Du. She stood up with tears in her eyes. She looked at Han Du and said, "I know that adults are kind-hearted and cannot see such harm. But adults, if you take this place If you break it, what should you do if you encounter a strong-willed woman who refuses to serve the guests and causes trouble? If you offend a guest, even if you can stop it once, how should you deal with it ten times a hundred times? "
Her meaning is very clear. Although Mr. Han has Cao Guogong as his backer. There is no problem in offending the dignitaries who come to Jiaofangsi once or twice, but you can't offend the dignitaries every time, right? No matter how powerful Cao Guogong is, he can't face all the princes and ministers in the court, right?
Judging from the current contact situation, although Mr. Han is young, he is a good person. If he could take charge of the Jiaofang Division, their lives would be much easier. Therefore, Grandma Li did not want Han Du to offend too many people and result in being transferred.
Han Du glanced at Aunt Li with disdain and said disdainfully: "To show people with sex, if the sex fades, you will feel sad. This is the worst policy. Sex and soul teaching, thinking about it day and night, is the best policy. Only by doing skin and flesh business can you make money. A few dollars is nothing more than earning some hard-earned money; if you want to make high-end singing and dancing entertainment, then you can make money every day."
"From today on, all the female musicians in Jiaofangsi don't have to accept guests unless they want to. If you want the female musicians in Jiaofangsi to serve him, then let him spend money. After all, the rich will eventually succeed. Families, those who don’t have money can see it with their own eyes! Those who don’t have money can even come to the door of my teaching department, so they can’t see it with their own eyes!”
