"Your Highness, the Queen has high hopes for you. On the way back to the palace yesterday, she asked me to give you more advice in the future. Going to brothels is not without benefits. For example, the Jiaofangsi that Your Highness mentioned also has a certain elegance. More importantly, people who go there are people of status."
"Little Korean, you probably have never been to the Jiaofangsi, right? In that case, that place belongs to the Shaofu, which is my subordinate. You are my right-hand man now, so I will take you there to get familiar with it."
"Come to think of it, I've never been there in broad daylight. I think it might be interesting..."
When Liu Jing said this, a smile appeared on his face.
However, what he said was meaningful was obviously driven by curiosity and not really interesting.
Xing Bang really didn't expect Liu Jing to turn the conversation around and mention the Jiaofang Bureau. He hadn't thought about it at all just now. He was just particularly curious about the Sixth Prince's hobbies...
A young man in the prime of his life, after all, just feels really weird!
"Well, as Your Highness said, I have never been there, so let's go and broaden our horizons."
Now that the Sixth Prince is here and has shown interest, what else is there to say?
As the official prostitutes, Jiaofangsi probably has no shortage of customers at all twelve hours a day, but it's probably not as lively during the day as at night.
With the Sixth Prince being well-informed about the capital, going to the Jiaofangsi would naturally be a piece of cake.
"To be honest, Your Highness, I have sent two maids from the torture chamber. I will be able to let Your Highness appreciate the talents these two girls have learned."
"Okay, this is a little more interesting..."
Liu Jing didn't ask any more questions. There was nothing to hide about Xing Bang. Now he understood it completely. The torture chamber had also been sent to the Jiaofangsi before, but it had not passed through his hands yet.
It can be said that the criminal girls in the torture chamber who were sent to the Jiaofangsi would have no hope of turning over in their lives. Of course, the Jiaofangsi was not just for sale, they would also train some people who were good at singing and dancing, and would go to add to the fun in celebrations. These matters were allocated by the Ministry of Rites.
However, once they were sent from the torture chamber to the Jiaofang Bureau, they would have no choice but to sell their bodies. The two maids selected by Xu Guang and sent by Xing Bang naturally did not comply with the formal procedures. They were only there for the sake of money. Most importantly, this was a very small matter.
Xing Bang is different now. Not to mention giving money to Shi Le, who is in charge of the Jiaofangsi, you can even slap him in the face if you are unhappy.
The highest official position in the Jiaofangsi was the seventh-rank Jijiu, who had two ninth-rank music teachers under him, and below them were some temporary workers who were not on the regular staff.
However, although the official position in the Jiaofangsi was low, the invisible benefits were very attractive. Once the criminals entered the Jiaofangsi, they were all of lowly status, only slightly lower than pigs and dogs. Whether they were beaten or punished was entirely a matter of a word from the official.
Soon, Xing Bang followed the Sixth Prince to the Jiaofangsi.
Only the rich and powerful princes, nobles and people from the court can come here. Ordinary people are not allowed to enter even if they have money. They can only go to the Eight Great Hutongs. This is a kind of balance, otherwise all the brothels in the folk would be out of business.
Princes and nobles naturally had much higher standards, so although the women in the Jiaofangsi were of low status, they could not get in without a certain level of beauty.
The waiter at the door respectfully welcomed the Sixth Prince and Xing Bang in. If he was not a professional greeter, his face would probably be numb from smiling all day. No one who comes here is of low status, and even a dog on a leash can take advantage of the power of the person who controls it.
The two of them did not deliberately keep a low profile, because even if those minor officials did not know the Sixth Prince, there would naturally be many people who came here for entertainment who knew him, so it was impossible to keep a low profile.
Official places are different. They are still very lively in broad daylight. Princes and nobles would naturally come here to have fun when they are bored. It may have become a habit just like drinking morning tea. However, ministers dare not come here at this time and can only come here to have fun after get off work in the evening.
However, we cannot generalize...
"Hey, isn't this Lord Ma, the Right Vice Minister of the Ministry of Rites?"
Liu Jing and Xing Bang had just stood up in the hall when someone came over to them. Liu Jing immediately became interested and teased with a smile on his face.
"Ah? Your Highness, why are you here?"
Minister Ma looked closely and saw that it was the Sixth Prince. His expression showed not only panic but also embarrassment. Even if he came here during working hours, he would at most be reprimanded. He was not scared to that extent. Besides, everyone recognized the Sixth Prince as incompetent.
When Liu Jing encountered such funny things, he became very excited...
"If you can come here at this hour, why can't I come here? Besides, it's duty time now. What business do you have here, Lord Ma? You won't tell me that you're here for a secret visit, will you?"
Minister Ma blushed, and was actually going to say that, but he didn't have a better reason...
"Your Highness, I am here for a secret visit. After all, the Ministry of Rites has the power to dispatch the Jiaofangsi during the Time Seam Celebration. I happen to have little work to do today, so I came here to see the skills of those female musicians..."
At this moment, a young man in official uniform came over. Judging from the rank of his uniform, he was the highest official here, the chief priest.
Several groups really rely on the mountain to make a living...
The young chief priest looked pale and weak, and it was obvious that his body had been hollowed out by alcohol and sex. To be able to hold such an official position at such a young age, his family must have some strength.
"Your Highness, please send someone to inform me when you come, so that I can go out to greet you..."
The young chief priest nodded and bowed with a fawning look on his face.
"No need to play these empty tricks, including you..." Liu Jing glanced at Minister Ma, "However, Lord Ma, I am really just passing by and coming in for an inspection."
“Yes, yes!”
Minister Ma nodded repeatedly, but no one would believe you...
"Your Highness, I have already made all the arrangements."
How could the young chief priest care about Minister Ma? He still had to make arrangements for the Sixth Prince, who was the boss of the boss of the boss of the boss...
I am just a small priest, which means nothing.
"Okay, Minister Ma, go and do your inspection..."
Liu Jing laughed unscrupulously, it was just for fun anyway, and then followed the young chief priest inside.
Naturally, the best room is arranged...
When passing a room, he heard a man's wild laughter inside. The Sixth Prince stopped and frowned: "This voice is so familiar!"
He muttered something, then looked at the young chief priest and asked, "Who is in here?" The Sixth Prince knew very well that this area was the best and most luxurious.
"Your Highness, this..."
The young chief priest hesitated and looked embarrassed.
The Sixth Prince's face darkened, and he said impatiently, "I think you don't want to be the chief priest anymore, why don't you tell me..."
