"The snitch pretends to be beating a snare drum to collect junk. This is just a way for him to get close to the concubines in the inner house. This kid has other damaging tricks..."
"The concubine of a big family doesn't understand the true price of those antiques at all, or she knows they are valuable but she will sell them for her own personal gain! For example, a Xuande stove, if you don't pay a thousand taels of silver to buy it in Liulichang, then There is absolutely no chance, but in the inner house, you can get it with two or three hundred taels!"
"She still sells it even though she knows it will be cheap, just because the Xuande furnace is placed in the warehouse, which is the common property of the big family, and if it turns into two hundred taels of silver, it is her own private money!"
"Look, isn't this the conflict between justice and self-interest that the Prime Minister often talks about?"
Sakamoto Ryoma saw that Zai Chun had stopped sobbing, and he knew that this true story had attracted him.
"That snitch made a lot of money quickly with just one move. Now, is this snitch the same as those Rakshasa ghosts? And the concubine who stole the public finances doesn't look like Yishan and Tepuxin?”
"The story is not over yet, your Majesty, please continue to listen!"
"The snitch's method of attracting these customers is not just selling stolen goods, he also has another damaging trick! In his package, there will always be some out-of-print and rare erotic albums!"
"Haha, your Majesty, don't believe it. It's true. He just brings these things to do business... After being secretly taken into the inner house or woodshed by the little maid and the old lady, they first look at the goods and then discuss the price. If they are suitable Then it’s a deal!”
"After the transaction is completed, the snitch will give the client a look at the benefits, which are those rare editions of erotic pictures! Don't let the other party see too much, only two or three pages at a time. After reading it, he will put it in his arms immediately. If he wants to see the next ones Huh? Let’s wait until next time to trade..."
Zai Chun was dumbfounded, "Ah? It can still be like this! How can this be allowed... Inner curtains, this is illegal!"
"Hey... don't worry about whether it's illegal or not. First of all, this trick works! Because the concubine must serve the master with sex, and some of the skills in intercourse are also part of the sex! The erotic palace in the hands of the snitch is out of print. , I have never seen many concubines with different styles, and now I am attracted to them!"
"On the one hand, she also wants to see these things because of her food and sex, and on the other hand, she can learn a lot of new skills in bed that can be used to please men!"
"After going back and forth for a few transactions, the snitch became familiar with these inner houses. The snitch, who has been practicing martial arts since childhood, has good physical fitness, and he is also good-looking. After going back and forth, he hooked up and became an adulterer. This is a natural thing!"
"Of course there are some women who can't let go, and they won't let him go, so that's easy to deal with! The snitch tore off the mask of hypocrisy, directly threatened to make everything public, and spread the news throughout the four-nine cities that women stole things and secretly watched erotic palaces. ...The guilty woman is now dumbfounded and can only let the other party do whatever she wants!"
"Cheating is an addictive thing. If you go back and forth to hook up, it will be like mixing oil with honey. This woman will become the snitch's eyes and ears, and all the secrets of the big family will be exposed!"
Sakamoto Ryoma smiled, "I heard from the Kirigakure brat that the snitch had the best life among her subordinates back then. He made money and didn't have to work hard to kill. Instead, he handed over the most information! It was such a great harvest of wealth, fame and fortune. !”
Zai Chun swallowed involuntarily, "So that's it! Master, what you mean is that Yishan, Tepuxin and others are the same as the threatened concubine? The snitch uses the same tricks as the Rakshasa ghost?"
"What do you think?" Monk Long Shi shrugged. "Yishan and Tepuxin also need to be favored by the court. Just like a concubine trying to seduce the master, a minister who is not favored is undoubtedly miserable! Concubines are used by concubines. It’s sex, and Yishan and others can only use money!”
"In the smuggling network that covers the entire Heilongjiang, Yishan and Tepuxin are just small roles at the front. The profit they can share is only a small part, and the majority is taken by the capital. It is a huge community of interests. When they are linked together, there is me in you and you in me.”
"The Rakshasa ghost has figured out the psychology of these people, and will make illegal money with you. In the end, it will search for clues about these people. At the critical moment, this will be the poison-quenching dagger that Tu Qiong Dagger saw!"
Zai Chun tilted his head and suddenly asked, "Since they are all a community of interests, what threat does Yishan still fear? Just do it with the Rakshasa ghost! When the time comes, the Rakshasa ghost will send the black materials to the court, and the Wang uncles will also Will they protect him because they are an interest group?"
"What is Yishan afraid of? According to what you said, he shouldn't be afraid of threats! Because the queen mother and the emperor's uncle knew full well what Yishan was doing behind the scenes, and they all agreed. Why didn't Yishan dare to resist in the end? Why did you still accept the threat?”
As expected, Zai Chun is naturally intelligent and can keenly detect any flaw.
"Yes, this is indeed unreasonable. Normally, Yishan should not be afraid of Rakshasa ghosts threatening him. Isn't it just a crime of smuggling? In the Qing Dynasty, this is not a mortal sin..."
"Actually, the imperial court finally backed down and worried about two things! The first one was the issue of internal and external troubles, because the timing of Tsarist Russia's attack was very vicious. The Taiping Army and the Hunan Army in the south were in a stalemate, and the last Manchu force in Jiangnan was left to fight. The force's Jiangnan camp has also been breached, and with the British and French forces coming all the way from Guangzhou, the imperial court can no longer hold on!"
"And the second one...it's very hidden. I didn't know it before. It wasn't until the Prime Minister finally explained it to me that I figured out the secret behind it! The following words are the Prime Minister's original words. I Just repeat it, not explain it!"
"Throughout the history of China, there are only two dynasties in which foreign races settled in the Central Plains and unified the country. One was the Yuan Dynasty and the other was the Qing Dynasty!"
"History has proven that the Qing Dynasty's rule over the Central Plains was much more stable than that of the Yuan Dynasty, and the rule of the country lasted longer. The reasons for this are very complicated, and the most critical point is that the force of the alien race and the culture of Confucianism are bound to each other. The result of being together!”
"Why did the Manchu Qing gain the support of Confucian scholars all over the world and seize the country's orthodoxy as a foreign race? First of all, the Manchu Qing was willing to form an alliance with the Confucian scholar group, that is, the Han landlord class, to jointly govern the world, and of course to divide the benefits brought by the world together. !”
"We have formed an alliance and shared the benefits. This is only the first step. The Manchus and Qing Dynasties took another step more cleverly, which is to use their martial arts to make up for the weakened martial spirit of the Central Plains! And Confucian literature is also edifying One branch of the barbarians, this is a kind of twin trees with complementary cultures, or twin trees tied to each other!"
Note: The story about playing small drums to collect antiques and erotic pictures mentioned in the article is not a fabrication by Xin Jing. This is a real profession in the late Qing Dynasty. It is true that some antiquities dealers beat snare drums to call the streets to collect antiques from wealthy families, and they indeed smuggled a copy of Erotica to show to their customers.
This profession also existed in the Republic of China, and it was gradually eliminated after the founding of New China.
