The imperial concubine is charming and charming, and only seeks power and wealth

"Let's go to the Jiaofangsi," cousin Liu Yuan chuckled, lowering his head and leaning closer, saying, "Didn't the Zhao family have trouble? I heard that a group of Zhao family women were admitted to the Jiaofangsi today. They are all the delicate young ladies of the Duke's Mansion, with delicate skin and tender flesh. If we go now, we might be able to get first place."

If Dahan officials visit brothels, they may be accused by their political opponents of having poor personal ethics.

However, the Jiaofangsi was an official brothel, and the imperial court supported everyone from high-ranking officials and nobles to ordinary wealthy businessmen to go there for prostitution.

According to the laws of this dynasty, the family members of criminal officials would either be sent to the Jiaofangsi or to serve in the military camp as soldiers.

The women in the Jiaofangsi were not only considered lowly, but also criminals.

It can also be regarded as a warning to the officials of Dahan.

Before committing corruption or bribery, or committing a crime, one should first consider the consequences.

Think about it, if the wives and daughters of your former relatives, friends, old acquaintances, or political enemies have been reduced to slavery and are at your mercy, while you would feel happy, wouldn’t you also be wary and not dare to cross the line easily?

The Zhao family is the maternal family of Concubine Zhao, the Rongguo Mansion.

Concubine Zhao confused the royal bloodline and intended to frame the imperial concubine of the current dynasty. A few days ago, the case was tried by the Ministry of Justice, the Dali Temple, and the Supervisory Office, and the verdict has been made.

All male members of the family over the age of six were executed, and those under the age of six were exiled to Lingnan.

As for female family members, those over 30 years old were sent to the military camp to serve as soldiers, and the rest were sent to the Jiaofangsi.

Considering that it was the end of the year and it was not appropriate to shed blood, the male members of the Zhao family were to be executed after the beginning of spring next year.

As the Minister of Dali Temple, Chen Ziwei also stamped his seal on the case file.

How could he not know what happened to the Zhao family?

I just didn't expect it to be today.

Chen Ziwei was not interested in visiting brothels. He frowned when he heard this and was about to refuse immediately.

At this time, another man named Ma Ping laughed and said, "Speaking of which, I heard a rumor recently. It said that Brother Chen has a lover for a long time and is determined to remain chaste for her. That's why he doesn't eat meat at all. Not only does he not have a concubine, but he has never even been out drinking or having fun. He doesn't look like a young man full of blood and energy at all."

This was said abruptly.

Chen Ziyi stopped talking about refusing and frowned, "Where is Brother Ma? Did you hear the rumor?"

"Yes, this rumor is outrageous," Liu Yuan said to himself, unaware of the true situation. "With my cousin's status, if he really likes someone, it would be a simple matter of a word to marry or concubine her. Why bother to suffer so much?"

"The rumor is indeed a bit outrageous, and I don't believe it either, but rumors spread quickly."

Ma Ping advised, "Brother Chen, why don't you come with us to have some wine and drinks, and then... your chastity will be solved."

Under normal circumstances, Chen Ziwei would never accept such a suggestion.

But this so-called 'rumor' came out of nowhere and it might affect the girl's current peace.

He may not be interested in women, but he cannot let people think that he is not interested in women because of the imperial concubine in the palace.

…………

The Jiaofangsi is located in the south of the city, and the people who come and go are high-ranking officials and wealthy businessmen. It is not a place that peddlers and hawkers can set foot in.

Unlike other brothels that only opened their doors to receive customers at night, Jiaofangsi was also open during the day.

There aren’t many people here during the day, but today is different.

Because a group of new people came today.

The well-informed young masters of noble families and wealthy businessmen had been waiting here long ago.

At this moment, the sun has not yet set outside, but it is already bustling inside.

On the center of the stage, several dancers in cool clothes were swaying their waists.

There was singing and dancing, and the sound of decadent music was in full swing. From time to time, officials who had just finished their work would come in to have fun.

Chen Ziwei had only been to this place a few times when investigating a case, and he had never even sat down, let alone visited prostitutes and played with them.

This time, he changed into casual clothes and followed a few friends who were regular customers here to the private room on the second floor as he was familiar with the place.

As soon as Ma Ping sat down, he turned to the madam who came in to greet him, "Have the Zhao family's women arrived?"

"They are here, but they are all troublemakers," the madam said with a smile, "well, they have fallen from the clouds and haven't learned how to serve others yet. They will be trained for a few days before they can be listed..."

"It's okay. I just like to pull out the thorns. Once you've trained them, what smells will remain? What are the remaining ones? Just bring them here," Ma Ping pointed at Chen Ziyu beside him and said, "Do you know this guy?"

Chen Ziwei came twice in a year, and each time he came to investigate a case. How could the brothel owner not recognize such a living devil?

He nodded hurriedly, "I know him, I know him."

"You're quite knowledgeable," Liu Yuan continued. "This is our Lord Chen's first visit. Since you know him, don't hide your good stuff. Bring it all out to him."

The others echoed the sentiment and urged the madam to bring people over quickly.

The women of the Duke's Mansion are the most distinguished people even in the capital city where powerful people gather. Needless to say, there must be many high-ranking officials and nobles who are eager to have a taste of them first.

It's a good thing no matter how you look at it to have the wife and daughter of your former political enemy at your disposal.

Second-generation rich people like them do not hold prominent official positions, so in terms of face, they naturally cannot compare with the older generation who hold real power.

If they didn't mention Chen Ziwei's name, given their status, they would probably only be the concubines of the masters of the Zhao family.

But Chen Ziwei was different. He was the Dali Temple Minister with a promising future. It was his first time visiting a brothel, so how could he not be treated well?

Although having a woman who has experienced the world of love has its own unique charm, opportunities are rare, so at this time, several people still want to recruit those precious girls from the Duke's Mansion.

After repeated urging, the madam left.

After a while, the door was pushed open again, and the madam came in with a few young girls.

As a few people entered, the noisy room became quiet.

Ma Ping, Liu Yuan and others all looked over.

They thought Chen Ziwei had a lot of face, but they didn't expect it to be so big.

They knew all of these girls. They were all legitimate daughters of the Duke of Rong. Two of them were the same-mother sisters of Concubine Zhao who had committed crimes in the palace, and the other three were their cousins.

In the past, most people present would bow and greet them when they saw them.

Before the Zhao family got into trouble, they wanted to use a sedan chair carried by eight people to marry her, but they were not sure they could get her married.

And now...

Ma Ping was in high spirits, but he didn't forget the etiquette. He said to the person next to him, "Brother Chen, come first."

Chen Ziyu, who was drinking alone, didn't even raise his eyes when he heard this. "You guys can have fun by yourselves. I'm not interested in visiting prostitutes."

What I mean is that these are all innocent girls. Even if they are prostitutes, they are clean prostitutes.

However, I have seen people urging people to drink, but I have never seen anyone urging people to go to prostitutes.

After all, everyone is here, and it’s their own business whether they sleep or not.

Ma Ping stopped refusing and stood up impatiently, pulling the girl in the middle into his arms.

Without saying a word, he raised his hand and tore open her clothes, lowered his head and bit her white collarbone several times.

The force was so strong that a woman cried out in the private room.

"Zhao Ruyi, a few months ago my mother wanted to marry you to me. Your Zhao family relied on the pregnant beauties in the palace and claimed to be the maternal family of the future prince. They looked down on my Ma family and refused to agree. What's going on now?"

Ma Ping raised his head and smirked at the tearful girl, saying, "If you don't want to be a wife with a title and status, you can just be a whore to be molested and abused."
