Chapter 48

The Lehu system began in the Northern Wei Dynasty and was not created during the Ming Dynasty. Demoting the criminal's wife and daughter family to Lehu is a means of punishment.

The Jiaofangsi belongs to the Ministry of Rites and is in charge of rituals and music. After the criminals' wives and daughters are demoted to the Jiaofangsi, they will choose the young and beautiful ones to train them, which is a musician. They were originally a noble lady from a noble family, and now they show up in public and sing and dance to entertain people. This is an act that shamed their ancestors and is a great punishment.

The main task of the Jiaofangsi is to cultivate singing and dancing girls. Of course, this kind of place is more likely to have some incidents between men and women than other places. However, if you want to pick up customers every day and ravage the criminals and women's relatives, that is, the rumors spread by the people.

Jiaofangsi is an official office and is not open to the people. It is mainly to deal with official communication. Put yourself in the shoes of the government and think about it. Which official lacks women? Everyone is the same. If someone is in trouble today, you will bully his wife and daughter, and you will not want to leave a way out for yourself?

If the collapsed person is against him, he should avoid suspicion. Even if he does not cherish his feathers, he should be careful of the remnants' words and be cited by political enemies. What's more, the officials who have been sent to the eighteenth level of hell will not be rehabilitated.

In the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang set rules that officials strictly prohibited prostitutes. In this way, even if officials visit prostitutes, they would not go to such an official sect. However, those who were sent to official slaves were not qualified to be musicians. They were not graceful enough, their singing voices were not gentle enough, and their faces were not beautiful enough, and they were not qualified to do it.

Therefore, the placement of official slaves is mainly divided into the following parts: First, women with a standard appearance and body shape are kept as musicians, dancers, and singers; those who are inferior but of the right age can be maids; those who are ugly, fat, and older can only do some rough work. For men, they are all slaves.

There is another way to deal with it, which is to send it to the family of the state to be a slave, which is much better than being a family member in the Jiaofangsi. On the one hand, the family of the state will be more tolerant of people from official backgrounds. On the other hand, once the master is pleased, even if he is still a slave, he will be more comfortable than the family of ordinary people.

Unless it is a case of unforgivable crime, officials will not be punished by the punishment of dismissing their homes and demoting their families to official slaves. In any dynasty, there are very few people who dare to commit unforgivable crimes, so there has been no newcomer in the Jiaofangsi for a long time.

Most of the Lehus, which are now affiliated with the Jiaofangsi, were taken from the Yuan Dynasty at the beginning of the founding of the country. There are also family members who were demoted to Lehus for committing serious crimes in the past dynasties. Once they become Lehus, their descendants will be Lehus for generations. Even if the dynasty changes, the new dynasty will not raise their identities.

Today, the Jiaofangsi sent a large group of people, saying that they were the family members of the offender. The Jiaofangsi had ambassadors, deputy envoys, harmony and music, left and right Shao music and other official positions. The ambassadors were naturally the officials who were fully responsible for personnel management.

The ambassador of the Jiaofangsi is now called Pang Bohan. Ambassador Pang is an eunuch. Perhaps because there are too many women in the Jiaofangsi and the beauty of the beautiful people, the court system has always been held by eunuchs. It is possible that the position of ambassador is always held by eunuchs to avoid custody and stealing.

Since taking office, Ambassador Pang has never dealt with the family of new criminals. He has to read through the previous regulations to understand how to schedule and arrange. However, this matter is not urgent. The first thing he needs to know is:

Who is the crime? What is the background? How big is the one who makes a comeback? Are there any party members in court to be an official? He must first understand the love of these things. If he needs to make a good relationship, try to show kindness as much as possible.

The envoy was under the jurisdiction of the bell and drums in the palace. The business was under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Rites. He changed his official uniform and put on a eunuch's robe. He was about to enter the palace to find out the details of the Ye family, Tao Xixi, the head of the Qing official of the Ministry of Rites, came to the door.

When he saw Ambassador Pang changed into eunuch's clothes, Superintendent Tao said, "Why, Ambassador Pang is going to enter the palace?"

When Chief Tao saw that it was the immediate boss, he hurriedly stepped forward to salute and said, "It turns out that he is the chief lord. The subordinate is about to enter the palace to do some miscellaneous things. I wonder what instructions are there?"

The Ministry of Rites was not under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Rites, so even though he was a subordinate, he did not have to be too humble to the Chief Tao. The Chief Tao smiled slightly and said, "I am afraid that Ambassador Pang would come to the palace to inquire about the origin of the criminal named Ye, right?"

Ambassador Pang's expression moved and said hurriedly: "Do you know, please give me some advice!"

Ambassador Pang said, grinning and said, "Sir, you know that it is not easy for us who are listening to things and working in the Jiaofangs. Sometimes, even if you do things in a proper manner, it is difficult to guarantee that you will not offend people without realizing it."

Director Tao smiled and said, "This family has no background and no chance to make a comeback. They committed the most serious crime in the ten unforgivable!"

Ambassador Pang was very shocked when he heard this. The ten evil crimes were targeted at the monarchy, patriarchy, divine power and husband power respectively. They were the core of the feudal system, so they were listed as unforgivable serious crimes. The first major crime was treason. Such a serious crime should cause a stir in the capital, but he knew nothing.

Master Tao suddenly realized that he had made a mistake and quickly coughed: "Just be clear in your heart. The court does not want to publicize this matter, if it is spread..."

Ambassador Pang hurriedly said, "Yes, yes, yes, thank you for your advice, the lord understand!"

Commander Tao nodded and said, "One of the people sent to the house of the Three Kingdoms, you will transfer some of them to the mansion of the uncle of the Three Kingdoms. The Empress Dowager gave the uncle a house last year, and there were fewer people in the mansion."

Ambassador Pang was an eunuch in the inner court, but he absolutely cared about the people and things that the empress dowager cares about. When he heard Master Tao say this, he immediately agreed and said, "Yes! The officials will do it now, and they will definitely choose some smart and charming ones."

Director Tao nodded and said, "Well! There is a man named Ye Xiaoan, who was appointed by the uncle of the country!"

Ambassador Pang was stunned for a moment, but did not dare to ask the reason, and said, "Yes! The official understands!"

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

The crystal clear white jade cup, the wine in the cup is green and clear, emitting a quiet fragrance. Li Xuancheng raised his glass and drank it all. This was not the first cup. A faint blush had already appeared on his cheeks, which were as bright and smooth as white jade. He blinked his eyes, his eyes were like morning stars, and he shone with a bright smile.

Li Xuancheng's favorite Jinyin wine made in Heniantang is drinking his favorite wine. Looking at Ye Xiaoan kneeling in front of him with a panic look on his face, Li Xuancheng only felt that the comfort of life was nothing more than this.

Ye Xiaotian, who repeatedly defeated him, died. He spent another money and asked Wang Baihu to go to Zhao Prison to see. When Ye Xiaotian was executed, he was already rotten. He could only barely infer from the outline of his body and the remaining strips of cloth sticking to the vague flesh and blood that were stuck to the fuzzy flesh and blood.

It is really regrettable that you cannot see that scene with your own eyes. But just conveying Wang Baihu's description from his subordinates made Li Xuancheng tremble all over excitedly. Now looking at Ye Xiaoan, who looks exactly like Ye Xiaotian, kneeling in front of him timidly, Li Guojiu seemed to see Ye Xiaotian bowing his head to surrender.

"How can I manipulate him?" Li Guojiu touched his naked chin, thought seriously for a while, smiled slightly, and said, "Ye Xiaoan, do you know who I am?"

Ye Xiaoan was so scared that he trembled and said tremblingly: "I know... I know, you... you are the uncle."

Li Guojiu smiled and asked again: "Do you know, why did I take you to my mansion?"

Ye Xiaoan stuttered: "Pang... Ambassador Pang said... Xiaomin was lucky, and it happened that the uncle's mansion was short of people. He asked Xiaomin to go to the uncle's mansion to do his job well. It would be ten thousand times better to serve the uncle well than to be a choreographer in the Jiaofangsi."

Li Guojiu smiled and said, "That's right, Ambassador Pang is right. My second brother Ye Xiaotian and I have a deep friendship. Now that he is gone, I will definitely take good care of you for him. Haha, hahahahaha..."

Li Guojiu smiled wildly, and Ye Xiaoan looked at him with a look of flattery but at a loss on his face.

Li Guojiu laughed wildly, tears of laughter were about to fall, and then he stopped coughing and gasped for a while. He then glanced at Ye Xiaoan and said, "Who else is there to be sent to my house as a slave with you?"

Ye Xiaoan said: "I...my parents, my wife, children, and...and a concubine of my brother..."

Li Guojiu was stunned. Why did he send all the members of the Ye family? Then he thought about it and knew that it must be the head Tao who had sent the message. Ambassador Pang didn't know what he intended. He was trying to please him and was afraid that there would be something to be revealed, so he simply sent all the members of the Ye family.

“Okay…”

Li Guojiu filled another glass, turned his glass, staring at the green wine, thinking: "How can I relieve my hatred if only torture Ye Xiaoan? Ye Xiaotian's concubine, I want to promise the ugliest and oldest servant in the mansion, Ye Xiaotian's parents, and I also want to torture him every day, so that he will not be able to live in peace under the surfing. As for this Ye Xiaoan..."

Li Guojiu looked at Ye Xiaoan with a confused look on his face: "Who told you to look exactly the same as Ye Xiaotian? Just be his substitute and be by my side forever as a slave and be with me!"

Thinking of this, Li Guojiu suddenly drank another glass of wine and said drunk: "Okay! Since your family has arrived at my mansion, I will definitely take good care of you for the old friend Ye Xiaotian. You go down, don't eat or drink these two days to clear your stomach and intestines. I will ask the best Xiaodao master to help you with the knife, so as not to hurt your life."

Ye Xiaoan said in surprise: "National...Uncle, I am not sick, what knife should I use?"

Li Guojiu had just filled a glass of wine, and then raised his glass and said, "If you want to stay in the inner house to serve, how can you do it if you don't castrate? The empress dowager gave me less than ten eunuchs, and it's not enough to use it!"

Eunuchs can only be used by the emperor and his family members, such as emperors, princesses, etc. The relatives of the outside world have no such privileges, but Li Guojiu has always been favored by the queen mother, so the eunuchs given by the queen mother are not considered usurpation. On this basis, Li Guojiu added one or two more. If the people in the mansion don’t say it, how can outsiders know?

Besides, Li Guojiu was very different from that of normal people at this time. Even if the Empress Dowager gave him a eunuch to serve him, he would try his best to torture "Ye Xiaotian" without considering the consequences.

Ye Xiaoan was shocked and cried: "Uncle Guo, I don't want to be a eunuch! I don't want to be a man without eggs! I beg my uncle to be kind to you, isn't I old with Xiaomin's brother? I'll ask my uncle to give up his hands!"

The words "a man without eggs" stimulated Li Xuancheng. Li Xuancheng stood up and slapped the white jade cup in his hand to the ground. With a "splash", the jade cup was smashed. Ye Xiaoan was so scared that he hugged his head, afraid that the fragments would splash on his face.

Li Guojiu looked at him contemptuously and said, "Born by a mother, twin brother, you are so far behind your brother! Yes, I have an old age with your second brother, but a pity, it's not about having an old friendship, but about an old hatred!"

Li Guojiu approached Ye Xiaoan step by step, sneered and bent down, grabbed Ye Xiaoan's collar, Ye Xiaoan raised his head and looked at him pitifully.

Li Xuancheng gritted his teeth and said, "As a relative of the country, my uncle is favored by the empress dowager, and has always asked for it. Who has ever rebelled against it? Only your second brother does not take my uncle seriously, but also designed to harm me and ruin my reputation! Do you know?

My uncle has been practicing since childhood, and he is dedicated to practicing and ignoring worldly affairs. Therefore, even though he is a relative of the foreigners, even civil and military officials have always respected me! Only with your brother, my uncle has been humiliated repeatedly, which is something that has never happened in his life, do you know?

My uncle had already looked down on the world, but he fell in love with Miss Yingying at first sight, but he was snatched away by your second brother, do you know? If your second brother had not been an official in Huxian, my uncle would have traveled thousands of miles there. If he hadn't gone there, how could he have been infected with strange diseases?

Li Xuancheng became more and more angry as he spoke. He pushed Ye Xiaoan, who was like a sieve, to the ground with force. Ye Xiaoan pointed at Li Xuancheng in fear and said tremblingly: "So, you have a grudge with my second brother! Could it be... Could it be that my family suffered such a great disaster... actually..."

Li Xuancheng laughed wildly at the sky: "Hahahaha..., you are not stupid!"

He bent down again, grabbed Ye Xiaoan's collar, grabbed him in front of him, and sneered: "If I hadn't been the emperor's uncle, how could I have given medicine to the emperor easily? It's thanks to my uncle who practiced elixir since he was a child that he discovered this strange medicine that caused people to sleep!

The silver needle cannot be measured, and the eunuch who tried the poison would only feel a little tired after taking a few bites. How could he be so suspicious that it was poisonous? Your brother is really stupid. Do he think he can deal with me if he is a little clever? Humph! My uncle used a little trick and told him to die without a place to die, haha! Haha..."

Li Xuancheng's handsome face was twisted and he laughed wildly at Ye Xiaoan. Ye Xiaoan said tremblingly: "So that's it! So that's it..." As he said, his trembling body suddenly calmed down, and his frightened and angry eyes calmed down, revealing a faint sarcastic look.

Unfortunately, Li Xuancheng was laughing wildly at the sky and did not see his expression.

Li Xuancheng lowered his head with a crazy smile, trying to see Ye Xiaoan's desperate and sad expression, but as soon as he lowered his head, he saw a bigger and bigger fist flying towards him. With a "bang", Li Xuancheng's head suddenly shook. He stared at Ye Xiaoan blankly, and two lines of bright red nosebleed slowly flowed down.

With a "bang" sound, Li Xuancheng fell down on his back.

"Ye Xiaoan" got up from the ground, and with a bent finger, a little insect penetrated into Li Xuancheng's body. "Ye Xiaoan" patted the dust on his body and murmured to himself: "It's so damn, you can tell the truth even if you ignore it, as if it's all for someone else to let you down. Such a mind is worthy of being a man!"
