Chapter 290: Without Qin Fu's help, even if he had official power, he would not dare to go out and use it recklessly.
Thinking of this, Ruan Mian put the account book and the letter to Qin Fu into his pocket, and tied up the servant and threw him to a fixed place.
Later, I will ask Manager Yi to send someone to arrest the servant and lock him up for a few days.
Wen Yuan must have thought that the letter had been delivered to the Qin family. In the past two days, more and more people from Runing gathered outside his Wen Mansion. No matter how the officials tried to stop them, the people's rebellious mentality became more and more serious, and their anger could not be dissipated.
In the end, the officers were subdued by the crowded people. There was nothing they could do to them. They were beaten and scolded. The threshold of Wen's mansion was almost broken down!
Wen Yuan was so scared that he didn't even dare to leave his room.
If it were in the past, I would have gone to the door and given those people a look.
But things are different now. He is not feeling well, and there are so many people outside who are as fierce as wolves and tigers, as if they want to eat him.
Without Qin Fu's help, even if he had official power, he would not dare to go out and use it indiscriminately.
Those crazy and unruly people will just trample him to death one by one!!
In such a state of fear, he frequently recalled the disappearance of the private vault.
I racked my brains but couldn't figure out who on earth could have found the vault and taken away so many things without anyone noticing!
That day he clearly saw that the things were still there, but in the blink of an eye, he saw those things disappear before his eyes.
If you tell others about this kind of thing, no one will believe it.
Even he himself didn't believe it, but the facts forced him to accept it.
The more he thought about him, the more painful he felt, as if someone was strangling him day and night, and he always felt like someone was trying to kill him in his dreams.
After two or three days of worrying about gains and losses, he actually started to have hallucinations. He couldn't even tell what was real and what was fake.
The curses and roars of the people outside the palace made him extremely anxious, and he paced around in a trance, distracted.
During the two days when he was tortured, Ruan Mian was not idle either.
Under her leadership, the women in the brothel who were not captured began to reform the place.
This is what she told the madam early in the morning.
It’s just that because Xu Moer and a few others are still in custody, they feel unsure and their enthusiasm for work is not high.
"Madam Ruan, are Mo'er and the others really going to be alright? Two days have passed, and Master Wen still hasn't left the house. He hasn't shown any intention of letting them out. Even though so many people outside have been crying out for justice for so long, he remains indifferent. If they alert the people in Kyoto, they will..."
"Don't worry. Since I promised you they'll be fine, I won't lie to you. You just need some patience."
"When they return, this brothel will be completely transformed, and you won't have to be controlled by others and become brothel girls who are seen by everyone."
It turned out that when they were about to take them away, they found that many of the women were natives of Runing City, and some of their families were with them. They couldn't bear to leave this place, and were also worried about following them to Wuheng, so they were a little scared.
Ruan Mian understood their concerns, so the aunt suddenly changed her mind and let them continue to stay there, but she stopped running the brothel and turned it into a health club for them to make a living.
To this end, my aunt also recorded in detail some specific projects of the health club, how to operate it, how to receive customers, how to divide the accounts and manage it, how to purchase goods, etc.
For a whole day and night, my aunt exhausted all her thoughts and tried her best to record the details.
The health club she opened in Guancheng, where people can drink tea and relax with massage, has long been a well-known leisure place in Guancheng.
If it weren't for the food shortage in winter, her shop wouldn't have suffered losses for a month.
But there is no need to worry. The food shortage problem will be solved soon. As the weather warms up and the disaster eases, the economy will recover.
They can make back the losses of one or two months in less than half a month.
Compared to Guancheng, Runing City has better conditions for converting brothels into health clubs.
These women are willing to learn, have first-rate looks, and asked their aunt's mother to train them in massage techniques. Once they got the hang of it, they were able to do it easily.
Runing is a big city and an important commercial route. There are countless foreigners and merchants from the capital coming and going. Its population alone is much higher than that of Guancheng.
Drinking tea, drinking wine, listening to music and watching opera in the health club is a great place to relax.
Moreover, once the signboard was changed, although the stereotype of brothels could not be reversed in a few days, Ruan Mian arranged for them to distribute food and porridge for a purpose.
To reverse the reputation, at least there are still many people who support and understand that the brothel girls have turned over a new leaf and are earning legitimate money.
Then they will play the victim and put all the blame on Wen Yuan, telling him how Wen Yuan had forced them before, and then make money through legitimate business.
Even if you just become a businessman, you will live with more dignity than a prostitute.
The key is that a profit-sharing system is adopted, and every woman working there can get different compensation based on her performance.
At the same time, the news of Wen Yuan's misfortune also reached Wen Qiang, who was a hundred miles away.
She couldn't believe it. She didn't expect that such a big change would happen in the Wen Mansion after she left!
"Where's Father?"
"Replying to the news, I heard that the master is now locked up in the mansion and can't get out. It is said that the gate of the mansion has been broken down."
"waste!"
Wen Qiang just felt that the guards at home were eating for free.
Seeing this, she couldn't just sit there at her aunt's house. Her father had encountered such a big thing, and if she didn't go to see him, he might die.
Thinking of this, she set off that day. Considering that Zong Jun's family members might come to look for him, she had no intention of taking him back to Wu Heng.
But on the one hand, Zong Jun strongly requested to go back with her, and on the other hand, he felt that he had already issued a killing order, and a woman who was so weak that she could not even tie a chicken, would probably lose her life at this time.
Perhaps the first news after I return to Runing will be that someone will come with the good news that she was killed.
So Wen Qiang took Zong Jun back to Runing.
However, before the carriage reached the Wen Mansion, it was blocked by a crowd of people outside the mansion.
Wen Qiang's face suddenly changed. Seeing this scene, which was far beyond her imagination, she did not dare to force her way in. She hurriedly asked the coachman to change direction and went to the backyard of the Wen Mansion first.
After entering, the housekeeper asked in confusion: "Father just asked those brothel girls not to give out porridge, why did such a big deal happen?"
The housekeeper quickly put on a sad face and said, "That's right! Those unruly people are too barbaric. Maybe it's because the adults didn't let them distribute porridge, leaving some people without food, that those unruly people are like crazy."
Zong Jun, who was standing by, got the point and asked curiously.
"Although they are some prostitutes, their selfless act of distributing porridge is a good thing. Why did my father-in-law stop them? Is there a misunderstanding?"
