Chapter 561 The Mystery of Bianjing: A Tale of Love and Debauchery (26 chapters)
The next day,
The story of Zhao Yuanqing was intentionally or unintentionally spread to the Feihua Pavilion area.
Xia Youmi then naturally summoned the managers and pimps who knew his backer and announced that Feihua Pavilion would be closed for the next few days and that they should be careful and discreet.
The worry that was hard to hide was exposed to these core members.
"Panlan, how about I go and find out?" said an older manager. He had cultivated a lot of connections over the years, hoping to be able to cover for the team in case of trouble.
He wasn't afraid of being broke, and he wasn't panicked when the building was sealed off and huge fines were collected.
When a reliable person falls, it's not something that can be solved simply by money and time.
“Sigh… Uncle Min.” Xia Youmi lowered her voice and said seriously, “Uncle Min, Elder Luo, don’t worry about this. I’ll check with the accountant and allocate some money for your retirement. Then you can take your grandson back to your hometown.”
"this!"
"Panlan, how can we leave at this critical moment!"
“Give each person three thousand taels, and send it again every year,” Xia Youmi said decisively. “Consider it as a way to ensure the future of Feihua Pavilion. If anything really happens, these girls who have grown up will still have somewhere to go.”
This number is tempting enough.
Furthermore, the only one Panlan would consider for the future is that girl, Miye.
“I agree with what Mother said, Uncle Min. The elders really shouldn’t stay any longer,” Manager Qian chimed in.
He was still young, and although he didn't expect to get a large sum of money if he stayed, seeing how generous Panlan was, he knew that he had chosen the right master.
Uncle Min and Old Man Luo looked at each other; they were both elderly men with sons and grandsons.
Once upon a time,
No matter how much she was relied upon, she never imagined she would be treated so well. Pan Lan had always valued money highly.
To be able to promise such a price is truly remarkable.
“Alright! I’m declaring this right now: you can come and seek my help in the future! I live in Luo Family Village, on the western outskirts of Bianjing City.” Old Man Luo stood up, his eyes filled with determination.
He enjoyed a life of glory within the palace, but was scorned and cursed outside the palace his entire life.
If he can die peacefully and have the chance to see his grandson brought to justice through the money, then his life's wish will be fulfilled, and he shouldn't hesitate.
Seeing that his senior had agreed, Uncle Min also nodded.
After the two left, Xia Youmi continued to send people away one by one. Some of the equally old pimps were assigned to nearby courtyards to live out their retirement. They basically had no homes and lived together in groups.
in addition,
The young pimps who were trained recently still need to be taught by them.
They received another substantial bonus and left with joy.
At last,
Xia Youmi told Manager Qian to go and ask each of the girls if they had saved up enough money to redeem themselves, or if they had found someone they liked and wanted to do so. She suggested that they make preparations as soon as possible and take people to the entertainment camp in the next few days to register them and remove them from their status.
However, the tax can be negotiated, but the price for redemption cannot be lowered. As for Zhouyin and Miye, there's no need to ask; she has other plans.
Manager Qian realized that his actions were a bit too drastic.
I don't think Panlan should give up Feihua Pavilion.
They didn't think too deeply about it. Even with 200,000 yuan deposited into the warehouse, they could still live well even if they didn't open for business for several years.
Xia Youmi spoke decisively, and everyone acted just as quickly.
On that day,
Four girls redeemed themselves from their servitude with customers they liked, while three others redeemed themselves.
Most of them are not very valuable to begin with, and they stay here just to get by.
Seeing the dazzling presence of the twin flowers, one understands that staying would be no different from being a tea-serving maid. It's better to follow one's own heart and change to a different lifestyle while one still has some beauty.
Panlan sent Manager Qian to ask, which meant that she thought so too.
That would be the best time to escape.
Some cried and said they couldn't pay their taxes, but they weren't bothered. In the end, they left with their valuable jewelry and accumulated gold and silver without any problems.
My luggage wasn't searched at all.
This actually won them some goodwill.
Zhouyin was also helped by Xinhe and moved back to her original courtyard, and Bingxiang was completely estranged from them.
So he voluntarily went back to doing menial tasks.
Incidentally, she caught the eye of a pimp who was preparing for retirement, who wanted to take her in as his goddaughter. Bingxiang, for reasons unknown, agreed. As a result, the pimp's share of the profits he had just received was reduced by more than half.
Since they were slaves, buying and selling them required money.
Xia Youmi couldn't completely destroy Panlan's stingy persona; she still wouldn't give up what she was owed.
Since officials from various regions have returned to their posts, these routine personnel changes are quite efficient. They are already acquaintances, and they even offer generous rewards, knowing that Feihua Pavilion has just made a lot of money and wanting a share of the profits.
Some people might even think that Pan Lan is good at getting things done and is deliberately using the excuse of doing good business to give them a reward!
After all, we've taken care of them for so long, we have to go back and make some arrangements.
therefore,
Apart from the documents submitted for review, all other business processes went smoothly.
Some of the managers even led their men out of the city overnight.
These people are shrewd and experienced. They understand the impact of Zhao Yuanqing's death on Panlan. They took advantage of her being still not fully conscious to agree to the terms. If she can't get away from these disputes, they will cause trouble for her in the future.
Except for a few people who were distracted.
Most people would be happy to do so.
For example, with several girls leaving and rooms becoming available, there were suddenly more options. Those who had previously been forced to share a room with others were finally freed.
The young stewards, pimps, and servants were happy, as this was considered a promotion. In the past, the older men only held high positions, but in reality, they had to instruct them on their work, smile obsequiously, and only get to eat the leftovers.
now,
It is hoped that Lan's mother intends to select a new young confidante.
With so much silver, even if they were asked to serve others, no one would object, since Panlan still retained some of her charm.
She was someone who couldn't be easily won over before; she was a top-tier courtesan.
His cunning and scheming nature gave him a somewhat shrewd appearance, which caused him to lose his good looks.
People are restless and in a state of chaos.
Xia Youmi did a lot of things, and Zhen Panlan, who was locked up, couldn't even muster up any more anger. She was locked up at the foot of Zhouyin's old courtyard, where the secret passages were intricately linked.
They also did an incredibly sophisticated soundproofing job.
How interesting. Just the first punishment of starvation is clearly the lightest step in her training of people, and Panlan is already about to give up.
Xia Youmi was able to manipulate the situation by exploiting the unscientific atmosphere surrounding the female lead. She didn't chase her away, nor was she in a hurry to kill her, and she wasn't afraid of being exposed.
because,
Panlan's provocative words that night meant that even if Xia Youmi were arrested and brought to court, she could still confidently avoid being sentenced.
What the other party did with Zhao Yuanqing was simply unbearable to hear.
There is no direct evidence to suggest that Mi Ye was involved in the death of the buyer, Zhao Yuanqing.
Xia Youmi had a backup plan. As long as he behaved himself for one night and cleared his name, he wouldn't die directly at someone's hands.
At least, it will only be a temporary paralysis.
But after returning home, his anger hadn't subsided, and while busy making arrangements, he still found time to have some fun. He deserved to die.
