Chapter 8, A fortune is unexpectedly spent to buy a reunion
The host on the ground hurriedly kowtowed, pleading for mercy incessantly
Jin thought for a moment, straightened his posture, and said: "If we were to impose a random punishment, I believe you would not accept it. It would be better to follow the teachings. " He turned to the financial protector, Yue Yiping, and asked: "What punishment should be imposed for disobeying the master's orders?"
That is good. Jin nodded and flicked his finger.
Come on, it's not the first time here. When did you become so overflowing with compassion? Which courtesan wasn't like this in the beginning? If we were to save them all, would Mr. Jin be able to handle it? He would be exhausted! Moreover, if all the courtesans in the world were rescued, wouldn't that mean the loss of a public entertainment venue?
Jin finally smiled: "I understand that you care for your subordinates, but this time it was he who disobeyed orders, so there is no need for you to take the blame." After saying this, he turned around and left as if nothing had happened: "Since you are concerned, come back in half an hour to collect the antidote, otherwise he will truly die."
Looking at her figure, it is evident that this girl is not that old. It is not surprising that she is in the business, as it is common in such places to find girls as young as fourteen or fifteen taking clients. The madam occasionally conceals their true ages, fearing that clients might find them too "young". In any case, it is difficult to distinguish if a girl is one or two years younger when her body has developed well. What startled him was that the silhouette seemed somewhat familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere before
The madam approached with a smile and said: "It is indeed a thoughtful young master; this fresh melon has been picked by you, esteemed elder. May I ask your honorable surname?"
No wonder these people prefer the "tender" ones, generating this way. Fortunately, Old Master Jin has the good habit of spending money extravagantly; if he hadn't thrown away that one thousand silver earlier...
The hall suddenly fell silent, and everyone turned their heads to locate the source of the sound
It would be quite awkward and speechless to say that I am here to solicit your services. Coming to such places would surely tarnish my glorious image in the eyes of the children
He turned his face to look at Master Fu, who was curled up on the ground. In just a few moments, Master Fu had rolled around, screaming incessantly. His shirt was torn into shreds, and his hands were frantically clawing at his chest, revealing several streaks of blood. His face was ashen, his eyes were bloodshot, and his nose and mouth were all squished together, twisted and deformed, making him look extremely terrifying
Yin Hufa Zheng Jiao Jiao raised her head and said in a trembling voice: "Master, please do not be angry. In fact, this matter is not solely the idea of Fu Tanj主, there is also ... ... " Seeing Fu Tanj主 struggling, she gritted her teeth and continued: "There is also our suggestion involved, we only ask for your mercy."
Yin Fei did not dare to speak
Everyone lay prostrate on the ground, and no one dared to rise
The moment Fu Tanzhu stood up, he suddenly fell to the ground, rolling and screaming in agony, in a pitiful state.
Jin interrupted him with a smile: "According to you, he has done well and has made contributions?"
Not understanding how to serve, this master can reluctantly expend some effort to provide guidance. The question is, how to make her comply? It is inevitable that there will be difficulties with a woman for the first time; he does not have a perverse hobby of attending to business while watching a young girl cry and scream.
A pair of bright and clear big eyes
At this point in the conversation, even Yin Fei, lacking in awareness, understood that the leader was quite displeased, and he dared not nod: "The master Fu has acted on his own accord, this... naturally is... this..."
... ...
Jin interrupted him again: "Having committed a crime, what should be done about it?"
One thousand taels
The snow-white garment, the high bun, she quietly leaned on the windowsill, seemingly lost in thought, unaware that someone had entered.
Jin has always preferred experienced women who know how to serve, but this time he acted differently because he has been haunted by the events of that night. The fact that he could have a reaction to that young girl is truly difficult for him to accept, making him feel utterly ashamed. No, he must find someone to test this out. Could it be that this leader really has a taste for tender grass? How terrifying!
Looking at the door in front of him, Jin let out a sigh. Tch, if Master Jin doesn't take action, it will eventually belong to someone else. Never mind, let's go in and take a look first. This sect leader may not truly prefer such tender ones. When the time comes, crying and wailing, I can just leave.
Qiu Lingling indeed shed tears, looking up in confusion.
Women who come to such places are usually not there willingly. During their first encounter with clients, it is inevitable that they will cry, scream, and resist. Therefore, when new girls are introduced to clients, the madam typically gives them some symbolic advice. Experienced clients are also well aware of this, and some even find it adds to the "flavor" of the experience, generally not making a fuss about it. After this night, most of the conquered women end up in tears, obediently listening and accepting clients.
"The lady has asked me to stay here for a few days, and she will come to pick me up after a while," she looked up at him, puzzled, "but Mama Cui said the lady took her money and wants me to help her with her work."
Yin Fei found himself in a bit of a dilemma. In fact, sending someone to monitor the Jiang family was not solely the idea of Master Fu; it had the support of all four guardians. The intention was to act first and report later, to uncover the whereabouts of the treasure, but unexpectedly, the leader returned and was already aware of it.
The feeling of that night has returned again
Having feelings for such a little girl is utterly disgusting
Everyone's face turned pale; at such a time, not allowing one to faint is clearly a deliberate form of torment
I beseech the master for mercy
Everyone looked at each other, hesitating to get up.
Jin then stood up and said lightly, "Do you mean to say that I have punished incorrectly?"
In the accustomed trade, the madam has long lost her sense of shame, smiling broadly as she auctions off a girl's first night: "Just a few days in, sixteen years old, and hasn't been touched yet, this is her first time receiving a client! Just look at her... Hey! She's a celestial beauty! I'm not exaggerating, once you go in and see for yourself, you will definitely not regret it!"
Enough, let's change the subject. Jin took a deep breath and silently reminded himself that he was absolutely not afraid, nor was he feeling guilty. Spending money to buy goods, he felt justified. It was simply that he had no interest in such young girls, as it would make him feel disgusted, because he would regard them as "little friends" rather than women
The unbloomed flower is quite rare; it is a rule not to make an appearance. Moreover, those who can enter such renowned brothels are usually seeking pleasure and are not likely to be stingy with their money. Therefore, as soon as she mentioned it, someone immediately placed a bid
Qiu Lingling nodded: "Mom said that I should help her entertain the guests"
Reluctantly convincing herself, she finally felt a bit more at ease. Just as Jin was about to turn and leave, the little girl by the window sensed that someone had entered the room and turned her face.
Jin sneered coldly: "What about your father? Isn't he going to take care of it either?"
Half a day passed, and the person in his arms showed no signs of stopping. Jin finally couldn't help but shout: "Alright, alright!"
Jin naturally understood the reason and nodded
Jin glanced at everyone without haste and said: "Although it is said that Master Fu has merits that can offset his faults, the death penalty can be avoided, but the living penalty is difficult to escape. Otherwise, if this precedent is set, it may be hard to convince the public in the future. What does Protector Yin think?"
What to do? Jin's expression was strange: "Do you know what to do?"
It is impossible; how could she be in such a place? Young girls of this age all look quite similar, don't they?
Due to the presence of many guests in black attire, the madam only then noticed him, filled with joy, exclaiming, "One thousand taels, I suppose there is no higher amount, right?"
Two hundred and fifty taels
The gold is coming back
three hundred taels
Young people are often impatient about certain matters. The madam, being quite perceptive, immediately turned around, greeted the disappointed crowd with a few words, and personally led him upstairs.
He raised his hand to push open the door and stepped inside
Jin was still sweating profusely, brushing her hand aside: "Why are you not at home? Who left you here?"
One thousand taels is not a small sum. To put it bluntly, this amount of money could essentially be used to open a small brothel. No matter how beautiful or stunning the woman, one thousand taels only buys a single night, which is truly excessive
Upon hearing this question, her large eyes quickly turned red, and tears streamed down like beads from a broken string. She finally began to cry: "My father has died"
The room is very clean and tidy, with embroidered curtains, an exquisite bed canopy, and delicate candlesticks, while a faint scent of powder lingers in the air
Master Fu is busy bowing in gratitude, please stand up
He looked at Yin Fei and smiled: "I have said that if anyone dares to interfere in the affairs of the Jiang family, they will be dealt with by Protector Yin. Has Protector Yin forgotten this now?"
The crowd fell silent
The madam smiled and handed over another small paper package, whispering: "If the young master finds it troublesome, just have her drink a cup of wine."
The crowd spoke in unison: "The Master is wise"
The madam brought him to the door and smiled, "This is Miss Ling's room. This girl has a very good temperament, but since it's her first time receiving a guest, she may be a bit inexperienced. I hope you will be understanding of any shortcomings and kindly guide her. Please do not hold it against her..."
Jin sighed: "Do you wish to plead for him? Then there is no need."
After careful consideration in his heart, he steeled himself and reported: "Master, please do not be angry. In fact, Elder Fu is also thinking of our sect. The Jiang family's 'Sword Manual of the Daylight Wind' and that treasure are indeed of great significance. Rather than letting them fall into the hands of others, it is better for our Thousand Hands Sect..."
The gold still lingers, soaring beyond the heavens, as he remains in place, allowing that lovely little girl to rush over, embracing him while laughing and jumping.
In the next moment, he regretted it
Everyone felt relieved and secretly laughed. This leader often uses "punishment" as a catchphrase, reciting it frequently, but in reality, there are few instances of actual punishment, and it indeed turned out to be the case.
The Four Great Protectors remained silent
Indeed, no one responds anymore
Seeing his unusual expression, the madam quickly said: "This item is most likely of no use to you, young master; I am merely following the rules." Having been through it all, encountering a handsome and wealthy young master for the first time is certainly more acceptable than dealing with those old men; not every maid has such luck.
Where do all these tears come from! Even Jin is secretly lamenting, not only did you eat tofu three times, but now that people hear about it, they might think that this master is truly doing something outrageous to the little girl
Jin smiled and raised his hand: "What are you all doing? Master Fu has defied the command of the Lord. I have merely imposed a slight admonition, which has nothing to do with you. Get up, get up.
two hundred taels
The madam nodded with a smile, her old eyes slightly squinting, occasionally casting inquiring glances at the other guests, seeking a higher price
After making the decision, he began to hesitate
To leave or to stay? It has become a difficult problem
According to the usual habits of our esteemed Master Jin, since there is a feeling, the goods are satisfactory, and they were purchased with money, there should be no guilt in theory, and thus it should not be returned. However, he seriously doubts whether such a "delicate" little person can withstand even a slight touch without breaking. Will she, perhaps, cry or make a fuss?
Jin secretly comforted himself and walked slowly closer
The big eyes blinked slowly and then drooped down. Qiu Lingling's expression of joy faded as she murmured, "My father said he owes a lot of money to others, and they have driven us out..."
The voice was sorrowful yet unafraid, as the leader was once again toying with you. Jin sighed inwardly, smiling on the surface: "I see, considering that Master Fu usually handles matters with caution, I shall spare you this time."
Without even looking, one can tell what it is, it gives me a bit of a headache. A dignified leader of the church should not lack for women; is it not a bit outrageous to engage in such coercive acts against young girls? This is beneath one's dignity
A faint sorrow arose from the depths of his heart; this scene was all too familiar. When did this happen? Jin still refused to think further. Looking at the young girl before him, her delicate figure resembling a pear blossom drenched in rain, weak and helpless, he was somewhat taken aback. Five years had passed; he had discarded the past and had almost forgotten what sympathy was.
Looking at the paper bag in hand, Jin felt for the first time an urge to flee in panic
Fourteen years old, sixteen years old, more or less, just try this
Let her go tonight; sooner or later, someone else will take her place. The young girl has fallen into such a situation; should we not extend a hand to rescue her?
Three hundred and twenty taels
In front of the window sits a small child
With long, lightly brushed eyebrows and a face adorned with rosy lips, the makeup appears somewhat mature, clearly the result of careful effort. It cannot compare to the initial elegance under the moonlight, yet it exudes a striking beauty. The long and neatly arranged bangs are swept up, revealing a smooth forehead. The hair is piled in a cloud-like bun, with pearl-like earlobes. The deliberate embellishment of maturity contrasts with the innocence reflected in those large eyes, creating a uniquely alluring charm.
Yin Fei nodded in agreement
Seeing her cry pitifully, Jin sighed and raised his hand to pat her back in a gesture of comfort
Jin was secretly alarmed, cold sweat breaking out, and immediately turned to her: "What are you doing here?"
Qiu Lingling retorted, "What are you doing here as well?"
Fortunately, the little girl came to his rescue, holding him excitedly: "I knew it, you came to find me, right!"
Outside the window is the deep night, a cool breeze stirs the garments, the white shirt billows, a small section of arm is revealed, illuminated by the candlelight, delicate and smooth, surpassing frost and snow, unexpectedly stirring one's heart and spirit.
The man in black did not answer, but took out a few banknotes and tossed them to her: "Where is the person?"
Originally thinking that his repeated mentions of "punishment" would yield no results, I considered it merely a bluff. Who would have thought that he would take it seriously now? Everyone was suddenly terrified and trembled, kneeling in unison: "Master!"
What nonsense are you talking about? If you want to die, you shouldn't drag us down with you! Cai Hufa Yue Yiping secretly cursed, but on the surface, he had no choice but to pretend: "This indeed is our fault, we ask the master to punish us together."
This seat knows that you have always been on good terms, so a little lesson is in order. Rest assured, he will not die, nor will he faint.
Countless large red lanterns hung outside the railing, their bright red light illuminating a corner of the night. Below was a magnificent building, adorned with red silk and green embroidery, where songs were sung and sleeves danced. This was the largest fireworks venue in the city, with guests arriving one after another, each face glowing with a rosy hue. Familiar faces greeted each other from time to time, all wearing smiles filled with ambiguity and understanding.
The little girl threw herself into his arms, as if she had suffered countless grievances, crying even more sorrowfully, and continuously rubbing her tears against him, quickly soaking a large area of his chest, which continued to spread around.
Yin Fei remained calm, bowing his head: "This subordinate does not dare to act rashly, I respectfully request the leader to make the decision"
Since it is not her, it indicates that... ? ... even this little girl has an effect! ? Jin is so scared that he wants to knock his head against the wall, feeling increasingly uneasy. No way, could it be that Master Jin's taste has truly changed to something younger, and he has developed a liking for such little girls!
"The old man offers four hundred and eighty taels, who would dare to come!"
Yue Yiping hesitated: "This..." Seeing him raise his eyebrows, he immediately replied: "Death penalty"
She wisely withdrew
"I have already stated that you are not to interfere in the affairs of the Jiang family," Jin said as he took a seat on the chair, looking at the kneeling Master Fu, and asked with a smile, "What is going on this time?"
He turned to the protector Qian and asked, "Protector Yin?"
He was too familiar with such occasions; it was not that he had never seen young girls before, and there were even a number of them lined up in front of him for selection. At most, he would just wave his hand to indicate his disinterest, dismissing them without changing his expression. However, he had never felt the sense of guilt he felt today. Just standing here made him feel sordid.
Accompanying the guest? Damn, how can you be so naive and easy to deceive! Jin finally managed to suppress his anger and held back the urge to spit blood: "Alright, alright, you wait here, I'll go talk to her. Remember, wash your face clean!"
Qiu Lingling hesitated: "But we owe money to Mother Cui, and I still need to help her with work"
Jin reached out to touch the armrest and lazily remarked, "Do you all take my words as mere nonsense? How can decisions be made like this?"
Jin then turned to the other three guardians
The one who offered this exorbitant price was a young man in black, strikingly handsome, with slanted eyebrows that hinted at much pride. His pair of eyes was particularly radiant, carrying a mischievous charm in his smile
No wonder she wants to be a thief, as gold remains silent.
Seeing her aggrieved, Jin secretly regretted: "We cannot stay here, let us leave quickly"
Everyone was frightened and said: "I dare not."
