Chapter 3 Murder and Punishment
The more Ren Ren thought about it, the angrier he became. The more he thought about it, the more he took a step back. In the end, Liu Dapao beat him, but he didn't actually put him in the same cage with a dog and force him to fight.
Because murder is illegal.
As a modern person with an urban management background, even if he does evil things, there is always a string in his mind that he will try not to touch the law.
Old Man Li didn't sign a deed of sale. It was one thing to voluntarily sell himself to repay his debt. Slavery was legal in feudal society. Masters usually fined their slaves for killing them. The local government wouldn't make things difficult for him because of his relationship as a money catcher.
But being forced to be bitten to death by a dog is intentional homicide. Murder has been a serious crime since ancient times. Killing someone in broad daylight would be very troublesome even for him to deal with, and he would have to deal with it internally and externally.
And since he doesn't sell it himself, then even if he wants to save his daughter, he can't find any good excuse.
He is a loan shark, so if others know that he is soft-hearted, it will be a trivial matter if he doesn't get back the thirty guan. What is left floating around, including the principal and interest, is more than 3 million guan. It will be difficult to get it.
If the prefect's Yamen's activity funds are cut off at the end of the year, no one will give him a chance if he wants to fight dogs, and he will have to chop them into pieces and feed them to the dogs.
Hey~
Why is it so difficult to be a good person?
Of course, others don't think so.
Murder and heart-wrenching.
It’s heart-wrenching to kill!
This black-hearted tiger clearly knew that old man Li was cowardly and incompetent, so he didn't dare to fight with a fighting dog, so he forced him to shout in public that he wanted to sell his daughter to him.
In this case, what Old Man Li is selling is not just his daughter? How can he be a good man for the rest of his life?
Besides, matters like human trafficking have always been relatively sensitive. It would be fine if the person was sold to a wealthy family as a maid or something like that. However, whether a girl is forced into prostitution or not, whether it is legal or not depends entirely on the minds of the law enforcers.
And if Old Man Li bites him to death and refuses to sell, even if he is in debt, he will inevitably be suspected of buying and selling by force. This is actually only a hair's breadth away from robbing a girl. But now that it's done like this, who can say that?
Is this forced buying and selling?
Even the so-called heroes in the world of chivalry have no reason to take action.
Of course, the most important thing is that after today, the news of murder and heart-wrenching will spread throughout the entire underground society of Yangzhou City. Those who owe us loan sharks will definitely be frightened by his ruthless methods and hurry up to pay back their money.
Kill three eagles with one stone.
Gao, no wonder he can be the boss. He is so ruthless and has a black heart. He lives up to his name.
For a time, the people looked at Liu Dapao with even more fear.
………………
But it was said that after Liu Dapao carried Old Man Li back to the dental shop and still put him on the ground, Old Man Li took the initiative to sign the deed of sale in front of his daughter without saying a word, and said:
"Daughter, it's your blessing that Master Xiong has taken a liking to you. Even if he sells you, you must be sold to a wealthy family to enjoy happiness. It's better than living in poverty with your father, Barbara, Barbara..."
His daughter could only cry and cry, which made Liu Dapao feel very uncomfortable, but he had no choice but to bite the bullet and enter into this human trafficking transaction.
I feel like my conscience has been stabbed hard by this gang with a three-edged military thorn.
"Brother, this Xi'er...does she still want to be tested?"
"Brother, there is a huge price difference between a perfect jade and a tattered one."
Seeing the little brother's leering look, I didn't know that they wanted to take advantage of the opportunity.
Renyazi is very particular about the perfect jade when selling people, but as for the perfect jade, how should I put it, it does not damage the girl's physiological structure and it is not impossible to take advantage of other girls, and you can drive on top and behind.
But Liu Dapao still couldn't do anything about it. He was so disgusted that he became angry and cursed loudly:
"Test your mother! Don't you have money to buy you a visit to a brothel? Are you so poor that you are crazy?"
Taking a deep breath: "Find two stable women and go to the inner room to check. What does it look like in public? Do you want to force other girls to die?"
The two younger brothers were stunned when they heard this.
Usually, this is how it is tested.
I couldn't help but glance at my second brother, the Dragon Crossing the River.
These two people are both underlings of Yaxing, and Guojianglong is usually in charge of Yaxing. Naturally, they are actually direct subordinates of Guojianglong. When Guojianglong saw this, he nodded quietly.
He nodded and motioned for them to do so.
But his mind was clearly wandering, and he didn't know what he was thinking about.
After a while, Po Wen came out and said: "Master Xiong, after checking it, it is indeed perfect."
"Well, let's sign the deed of sale."
After hearing this, Old Man Li hurriedly signed, drew, and pressed his fingerprints, as if he was afraid that if he was too late, this beautiful girl would not be able to sell it.
Then he followed his younger brother to the Yamen to get the deed of sale for notarization. When Cao Guan of the magistrate's Yamen stamped the official seal on the deed of sale, even if this was irrefutable evidence, even Bao Qingtian's arrival would not be able to overturn the case.
However, after the deed of sale was signed, what arrangements were made for the Xi'er girl made him scratch his head again.
Even though he knew that he shouldn't be too soft-hearted with his current character as a gangster, he still couldn't help but ask: "Second brother, you said, Zhao Yuanwai wants to buy this girl Xi'er as a concubine, right? This Zhao Yuanwai and
Who is he? How old are you this year?”
"Zhao Yuanwai was a eunuch from the former Wu palace. He seems to be an old acquaintance with our prefect Zhou. After the former Wu returned to Zhou, he came to Yangzhou with money to buy property.
Because the former leader of the Wu Kingdom surrendered on his own initiative, most of the former Wu officials have been retained in our Zhou Dynasty. So... no one knows how extensive this old guy’s connections are, and who he knows, probably six
It’s more than ten years old.”
Liu Dapao couldn't help but wonder: "Why is he, a eunuch, marrying so many concubines?"
"Hey, this guy, the more he lacks something, the more he wants it. If he can't satisfy him physically, he will find ways to make up for the shortcomings in his heart. Who knows how he plays? Anyway, he has played to death four times in a year.
Already."
Good guy, four of them die in one year?
Isn’t this just looking down on human life?
What an evil feudal society!
But when the Dragon Crossing the River said this, the girl Xi'er, who was already full of emotions, started crying and hurriedly rushed up to hug his thigh:
"Master Xiong, please accept me and let me serve you. Please don't sell me to the old eunuch. I can do anything. I'm very capable."
When Liu Dapao saw this, his expression was tangled for a long time, and then he asked: "Second brother, are we still short of girls on our flower boat?"
According to Liu Dapao's memory, the girls on their flower boat seemed to be artists rather than prostitutes.
Of course, when a prostitute builds a memorial arch, the purpose is to increase the money, and to wait for a rich man who is willing to spend a lot of money to buy a clean prostitute home as a concubine. It is not a good place to go, but at least it is better than selling it.
Giving the old eunuch some strength will make him feel better.
Guojiang Long heard this and said: "The flower boat business at home, even for maids, has relatively high requirements. Not only must they be proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting, but they must at least be able to read and digitize."
There are only a few ships in total, and we have a cooperative relationship with the courtesans on each ship. It is difficult to place people on them. We have never touched the business of ordinary brothels and secret prostitutes, so... it really doesn't matter.
It’s a great arrangement.”
Liu Dapao thought for a while, but was still unwilling to give in, and said, "Under normal circumstances, if this girl is not sold to Yuan Zhao, where will she be sold?"
"It depends on whether they are pretty or not. The pretty ones are usually sold to Fireworks Alley, where there are more than thirty brothels, large and small. Good ones are always easy to sell. Generally, if they are too young or not good-looking,
, then sell it to the beggar gang.”
Liu Dapao sighed when he heard this and shook his head. Because he inherited the memory of his predecessor, he knew exactly where the Beggar Clan was.
Different from the heroes in martial arts novels who serve the country and the people, there are a group of out-and-out scum. The evil of human nature is vividly displayed in it. It is easier for a little girl to be sold into it than to just wipe her neck and die.
Taken as a maid or concubine?
But the amount of money he lent out was too much. As long as he continued to be a money catcher, he would inevitably meet one old man after another and another Li Xi'er.
You can’t just take everyone home, right?
Then he can't afford it.
So he gritted his teeth.
He gritted his teeth again.
He gritted his teeth again.
In the end, I still didn't have the heart to sell this little girl.
"Hey~, Miss Xi'er, just go home with me first. I'll think about where you are going. As for you, don't blame me. If you want to blame, just blame your rotten gambler father."
Then he said to Guo Jianglong: "Second brother, I won't care about the debt collection business from now on. You can collect it for me. If you want to do the job of catching money in the future,
I'll give it all to you slowly."
It was such a terrible thing to do such a shameless thing. Out of sight, out of mind. Don't let him know about it again in the future.
Dragon Crossing the River was stunned again when he heard this, and then nodded calmly.
"But I also have a request. The business of this dental shop is too unscrupulous. Let's collect as much as possible if possible. When collecting the bill, collect as much as possible. If we can solve the problem without human trafficking, we should try not to traffic in human beings.
.
If it really doesn't work, try to do the work for one person, and try not to buy or sell their wives and daughters. If it really doesn't work, at least don't sell it to the beggar gang, leave it all to me, and I will figure out how to arrange it."
