Liao Zhai Zi is silent

Chapter 186
"Master, look, there is a gambling shop there." Hu Jiezhou followed Lin Zhuoming into Nanjing City.

The city wall of Nanjing is so magnificent that he almost shows his original shape. After all, it is the old capital of the former dynasty and has a profound heritage.

If Lin Zhuo hadn't clearly divided one of his talismans, he probably wouldn't be able to get in at all.

"This is exactly the gambling house that Pindao investigated last time, Treasure Pot Casino." Lin Zhuming was familiar with this.

I saw that it was still the waiter who pulled people in, soliciting business on the street.

It's just that now, ordinary people don't have any money, how can they go in and get drunk, only rich princes and princes come in and out.

"Does the mage think there will be the real body of the evil god of wealth there?"

"Shouldn't be there, but after getting rid of the evil, you and I will go in and play again."

"Haha, since Master Lin is interested, Hu will accompany you."

The two entered the treasure pot gambling house, and the incense burner in front of the statue of Guan Gong at the door suddenly went out.

The feng shui pattern with many sons of the golden toad, the moment Lin Zhuoming stepped in, the air mechanism was blocked, because Lin Zhuoming regarded himself as the eye of feng shui, connected with the stars at the top, connected with geography at the bottom, and the gossip changed it. Yao followed suit.

The tablets of the God of Flower enshrined on both sides of Guan Gong's God of Wealth seem a little weak at this time.

Jin Chan on the God of Wealth seat sensed the change, looked down, and then a rich ghost flew out from every bump on his back.

Big rich ghosts, small rich ghosts, absorb wealth, cover eyes and back luck.

At the same time, a woman dressed very coolly came up: "You two young masters, look at your face, is this your first time here?"

Lin Zhuming didn't pay attention to her, just looked around, and bought a few side rooms on the left and right, and a few wealthy young men leaned against her, holding a big cigarette, smoking opium, and puffing.

There is also the kind of young girl who looks like she is not yet an adult serving people in it.

"Hey, this Daoist, I think I just heard that some brand new virgins from our treasure pot casino have come."

The girl who was ignored by Lin Zhuoming just now had no shame, and whispered softly: "These are the daughters of innocent people. The family suffered a severe drought and couldn't support them. We kindly help and find a good place for them."

I'm afraid it was just a few days ago, among the refugees outside the city, they bought and sold food forcibly.

I only saw that there was a seven or eight-year-old among them, learning how to apply rouge, with flowers inserted obliquely on his head, singing a tune with tears in his eyes.

The melody is also ordinary, but the child's voice is clear, so it is carved with a bit of nature.

"Does the Taoist have a fancy? This is almost a good deed." But he covered his face lightly: "As long as it is 200 taels, she won't have to do these servant things to serve people. From now on, she will be a young lady. dead."

"Miss?" Lin Zhuoming wanted to laugh.

Hu Jiezhou frowned, he thought he was noble, he rarely lived in filthy places, compared to the seven sages in the bamboo forest, he was a noble and hermit.

"Master Dao, you should understand the way of the house. This virgin who is so young is the most nourishing and nourishing. A few days ago, Tongzhi Jiang Ning bought a girl from us. She is only 11 years old. Not long after, he was promoted and transferred outside, and this belongs to Wang Ren."

"Also... the Qinghe county lieutenant... is here with us..."

"Aren't you a gambling house?" Lin Zhuming finally said, "Why do you start such a flesh and blood business now?"

"Hey, what this business is about is what people need, so we just do it. In the past, it was so rare to be a virgin from a good family. It costs a thousand taels of silver, and sometimes you can't even buy it."

"Now that there are natural disasters and man-made disasters, there are more girls from good families. Can't they enjoy it now that they couldn't afford it in the past?"

But before she finished speaking, Lin Zhuoming was furious. Isn't this taking advantage of others' danger and forcing her into prostitution?
Moreover, it is the local bureaucrats who have heard the most.

I feel that breaking the melon for the virgin can improve one's own luck, which is just right for promotion and fortune.

Originally, this "elegant" thing, when it was still a peaceful situation a few years ago, there were not many good-looking women from a good family, so only senior officials who had reached a certain level could enjoy it.

Nowadays, these girls from good families are continuously transported out from various "good halls".

These philanthropic halls were all set up by various big landlords, under the name of "rescue" and publicized among the disaster victims.

They only need to exchange land deeds, gold, silver and jewels with them, so that their children will not be cold or hungry, live on the streets, be adopted by shantang, and they can still grow up smoothly in the future.

As long as those disaster victims have a glimmer of hope, they will hold on to it, so their own money, along with their children, will be in their hands.

How did I know that I sent it into the fire pit with my own hands.

If it’s a boy, he’s pretty good looking, or he’s castrated and sent to the palace, the palace, to be a eunuch.

Or send it to the house of a big shot who likes to play with pedophiles.

A few are sold to opera singers.

Ordinarily long, or ugly, or sent to be cultivated as dead soldiers, or sent to satisfy the pleasure of killing some big shots, or interrupted to do some work for money...

As for the girl's family, it was even worse, or they were sold by the family early on for food.

Or have been a prostitute in a brothel early, just looking at this treasure pot gambling house can be seen.

This is no longer just sucking the wealth of the common people, it is sucking the marrow.

There are so many good houses, but the prices have been lowered, so that those nine-rank sesame officials gritted their teeth and spent some money to buy them for obscenity.

As for those rich businessmen, as long as they are willing to spend money, it is not difficult to not repeat the same thing every day.

This is not looking at people as human beings at all.

A decadent, extravagant and depraved atmosphere continuously emerges from here.

"How many girls are there?" Lin Zhuming asked again.

"Haha, is it possible that Master Dao wants to make up for it?" The woman is full of charm, but there is a smell of corruption.

In Lin Zhuming's eyes, they were nothing but maggots in a latrine.

"If you want to play with a few more girls, you can also transfer them from other gambling houses. In Nanjing City, there are a total of twelve treasure pot gambling houses. Dao Lord can have fun wherever he walks."

"Oh?" Lin Zhuming asked tentatively: "My friend is from another place, but I want to take my friend to play near Guandi Temple for a few days. Is there a place for you near there? Tired of playing during the day Well, it’s better to rest nearby.”

"Hahaha, of course there is. We are worshiping Master Guan. The vicinity of Guandi Temple is very prosperous, even bigger than the place at the foot of our city wall, but the price there is not cheap. If Master Dao really wants to play, Why don't you try it with us first, if you're really satisfied, you won't be too late to go to Guanmiao."

Lin Zhuming said hehe: "Then let's see how you can impress Master Dao."
