The next morning, the two comrades from yesterday brought two more people to Guanjia Village to urgently arrest Mrs. Guan. At that time, the sons and grandsons tried to stop the riot, but were scolded by the village chief and the fifth grandfather and sent back. The daughters-in-law seemed to have disappeared from the face of the earth and were nowhere to be seen. In fact, they were all in the house, too embarrassed to come out.
After Mrs. Guan was taken to the interrogation room in the police station, the trial began.
At first, she feigned confusion, saying she didn't know why she was arrested. Since it was Director Jiang who was personally interrogating her, she could guess the reason as soon as she saw Director Jiang's appearance. This old woman was also a veteran, having experienced countless situations in her youth, so her psychological quality was very unusual. Fortunately, it was Director Jiang who was personally interrogating the old woman, and he used psychological tactics to win her over. Within the morning, she was apprehended.
When talking about Old Lady Guan, we have to talk about her master, Lin Guisheng. The Lin family was very famous for their business in the Jiangnan area. Old Lady Guan was a daughter of the Lin family. Her father was the accountant of the Lin family, and her mother was the head maid of Old Lady Lin. Therefore, Old Lady Guan was good at accounting, had a good eye, could speak well, and was very smart.
Guan Lao Po had been a maidservant to Lin Guisheng since childhood. A few years older than Lin Guisheng, she was like an older sister, leading to her considerable dependence. Following her master from a young age, she experienced all sorts of situations, cultivating a certain arrogance. Her sweet tongue and discerning eyes made her the gospel maid of the young lady whenever she had important errands, naturally reaping the rewards. Her master, Lin Guisheng, was a highly intelligent woman. In 1910, as a teenager, she traveled to Shanghai on her own. After some research, she returned home and asked her father for money. She then went to Suzhou to acquire a dozen young and beautiful women, bringing them to open a brothel in Shanghai called "Yanhuajian." At the time, it was unbelievable for such a young woman to open a brothel, openly and publicly, with the entire city knowing about it. Men, drawn to the novelty of the business, quickly became a viral sensation.
Soon, Lin Guisheng became an active figure in the social scene. Because she lacked trustworthy people around her, the 20-year-old Guan Po Po was selected along with several young and beautiful housewives and sent by Lin Guisheng's father to Lin Guisheng's home in Shanghai.
Soon after arriving in Shanghai and entering Lin Guisheng's home, Guan Po Po was appreciated by Lin Guisheng. Just like in her hometown, she continued to be with her and took her to various occasions.
A few years later, by chance, Old Lady Guan met Jixiang, a servant of the third young master of the Jiang family, a very famous merchant in Shanghai. She was attracted by Jixiang's handsomeness and intelligence. This Jixiang was actually Old Man Guan. In fact, Old Man Guan followed the third young master, but he didn't learn any serious skills. He just followed him all day to learn how to scheme against the eldest wife and how to steal his own business. Anyway, he learned all the bad things. But the eyes of the beholder are beautiful. Old Lady Guan was just a maid in the inner house. Her contact with men outside, especially young men, was too limited. In Old Lady Guan's eyes, he was a perfect man. The two of them met secretly and dated whenever they had the chance.
Later, Lin Guisheng's business grew rapidly, and she teamed up with several prominent Shanghai madams to form the famous "Ten Sisters" organization, controlling the entire Shanghai flesh trade. Normally, for a young woman, this was enough. Although this business was vulgar, it brought fame and profit. However, she was not satisfied and wanted to make more money, so she got involved in the gambling business.
When she was 22 years old, the first casino under Lin Guisheng's name opened.
