Chapter 322 The place where the demons dance
This is the busiest time in the red light district, with people coming and going in an endless stream, some with impatient hunger and thirst, and some with satisfied smiles.
This area is full of small alleys. It seems that this kind of place is always associated with being short and narrow. The short door, with the faint red curtain, seems to be impossible to get in without bending down. The narrow door
In the alley, at a glance, various pink, red, and bright red lights flickered in it, reflecting many figures standing at the door.
A chaotic mix of sounds, including men's lewd laughter, women's coquettish coquettishness, and some indescribable sounds constantly entered the ears.
"Hero, come here, it's warm here. I guarantee that if you come here for the first time, you will come a second time." A woman waved to Chu Xiang.
Chu Xiang was somewhat resistant to this kind of place in his heart. Although these women were protected by him, he had never been in contact with them. This was his first time here, and his first time to experience everything so close.
After standing at the entrance of the alley for a while, Chu Xiang walked into the alley.
The alley was filled with a lustful atmosphere. Seeing Chu Xiang come in, the women standing at the door waved to Chu Xiang: "Here, hero, come to my place, I guarantee your satisfaction."
None of these women left half a meter away from the threshold, they were just waving. No one came to pull Chu Xiang away. Only when some men who seemed to be regular customers passed by, the women standing at the door would move away a little and take the familiar men in.
Inside the house.
This phenomenon should be the rule here, an unspoken rule that everyone abides by by default. You cannot leave your own area to attract guests, otherwise they will all swarm in, which will cause chaos and easily cause conflicts.
Chu Xiang carefully looked at the women at each door. Most of them were wearing heavy makeup and smelled of pungent perfume. They greeted everyone who passed by warmly and occasionally teased each other. If they attracted guests, they would happily welcome them in.
In the house.
The darkest place in the middle of the alley is not as lively as the end of the alley. The women here also look a little lonely and less active. Some are playing with their mobile phones. Only when men enter this depth will their faces show
Warm smile and beckoning customers.
"Hero, come to my place. I'll accept any offer and make sure you're satisfied." The woman wearing a purple stewardess hat at the door next to her greeted enthusiastically.
Chu Xiang turned around and saw that there were faint scars on this woman's body. It seemed that she had received all kinds of attacks. He looked at the others nearby and found that they all had some skin damage.
The woman who took out a small piece of silver and threw it made no sound. She couldn't see clearly in the darkness. The woman didn't react for a moment. She found that the thing thrown over had a gleam of light. When she reached out to catch it, the silver had almost fallen to the ground. She was thinking about it.
I leaned over to pick it up, and found a piece of silver that shone slightly under the pink light right in front of me, as if it was fixed in the air. I reached out to pick it up, and the silver just fell into the palm of my hand.
It was really money. The woman said enthusiastically and gratefully: "Thank you, hero, thank you boss. Please come in. I guarantee your satisfaction."
Chu Xiang shook his head and said, "I have a few questions to ask you."
"Just ask me, heroes, and I will definitely tell you." The woman wearing a stewardess hat said happily.
Realizing that the person who came was asking a question, and he was very generous, the women next to him all looked over, envious of their neighbor's good luck. Depending on what the man wanted to ask, they might be able to make some money.
"Why didn't you go to the alley entrance instead of here?" Chu Xiang asked.
"Hero, the rent over there is so expensive, how can we afford it?" the woman said.
The extremely simple answer turned out to be the difference in rent. Chu Xiang did not think of such a simple reason for a moment.
Realizing that the person who came seemed to be a rich man who didn't understand the world, the women around him turned their heads and looked at Chu Xiang to see if they could get some money from this rich man.
"Who is managing you now?" Chu Xiang said.
"It used to be a martial arts hall, but now it's a street office and police station." the woman replied.
"If you had enough money to live on, would you still do this?" Chu Xiang asked.
"Of course not." The woman said quickly, but as if she thought of something, her expression turned gloomy again.
"We are just a group of prostitutes. We have no ability to protect ourselves. How much money we have is of no use. We just have to come back here." A woman next to him said.
The woman wearing a stewardess hat looked at Chu Xiang and nodded.
Chu Xiang frowned. What this woman said was right. Nowadays, the ratio of men to women is very disparate, and the world is chaotic. Even if they don't do this, they may not be able to move anywhere else. Unless they are lucky enough to meet someone who can protect them, otherwise
It is impossible for them to escape from this kind of life, it is just the difference between here and other places.
These problems should not be what they have to think about, but what Chu Xiang and Wu Qingfang have to think about. It is embarrassing for them to think about such problems, and they do not have the ability to solve this problem. They are just duckweeds floating on the water.
, what kind of life there will be depends on water.
A man came to the middle of the alley. The women who had just paid attention to Chu Xiang quickly entered the house with their arms around the guest, and then an indescribable sound sounded in the house.
"How often do people from the police station and street office come?" Chu Xiang asked.
"Usually once a week." The woman wearing a stewardess hat replied.
"Then how do they collect taxes?"
"The tax is fixed. You have to pay one thousand every week. There are more over there, the most is three thousand." The woman wearing a stewardess hat pointed to the entrance of the alley.
"Is it calculated based on the rent?" Chu Xiang said.
"Absolutely, but sometimes when those bastards see that our business is good, they will charge additional management fees," the woman said.
Chu Xiang frowned and asked, "How much is the management fee?"
"It's whatever they say," the woman said angrily.
After walking a few alleys, Chu Xiang had a general understanding of the situation here, thought about it, and sent a message to Yang Rong.
Yang Rong came very quickly, and was accompanied by a man Chu Xiang didn't know. He had a peak level of Danjin cultivation. Although he was in the city, it was still dangerous for a woman to go out at night, not to mention someone like Yang Rong who once had a lot of glory.
woman.
Sensing Yang Rong's aura, Chu Xiang moved in front of the two of them. Seeing Chu Xiang, Yang Rong shouted happily: "Hall Master."
As soon as the word "tang" came out, Chu Xiang waved his hand. Understanding that Chu Xiang didn't want to reveal his identity, Yang Rong swallowed the word "tang" and said to the accompanying young man: "Chengjie, go to Huaxuan Pavilion and wait for me first."
The young man looked at Chu Xiang warily and said hesitantly: "Sister Rong."
"Go ahead, don't worry." Yang Rong waved her hand.
The young man Chengjie nodded, looked at Chu Xiang again, and then walked away.
"Do you want to be an official?" Chu Xiang turned around and asked.
Yang Rong followed Chu Xiang and said excitedly: "I want to."
Yang Rong knew what kind of person Chu Xiang was and didn't like to beat around the bush, so she actually asked her to come and asked her this. Obviously she thought she had this idea and intended to let her develop in this direction, and she herself did.
If she wanted to be recruited, she only needed the simplest and clearest answer in front of Chu Xiang.
"Are you familiar with the situation here?" Chu Xiang said.
"It can be cooked even if it's not familiar." Yang Rong said.
She used to be the general manager of the martial arts hall, so even if she was not familiar with these things, she had some understanding of them. It was not difficult for her to figure out the situation here.
Chu Xiang nodded and said: "Wu Qingfang and I have made an agreement. Now we still need a regulatory agency on our side, something like the mayor's hotline, so that these women have a way to appeal."
"Cheng Huan may have to organize this." After pondering for a while, Yang Rong said, she was very self-aware and did not take over everything.
"You go back and discuss with Cheng Huan to organize an independent department to carry out necessary supervision of the red light district. Then you go to Wu Qingfang, he will know what to do." Chu Xiang said.
"Brother Xiang wants me to work under Wu Qingfang and supervise him nearby?" Yang Rong understood exactly what Chu Xiang meant.
If Wu Qingfang wants to manage the red light district well, he must have someone to build a bridge for him, otherwise it will be difficult for him to carry out his work. And this person must be familiar with the red light district and be able to suppress all kinds of monsters and monsters in the red light district. At the same time, he must work under him. After Yang Rong left,
, Wu Qingfang naturally understood why Yang Rong came, and would give her an official position so that she could help him deal with things in the red light district.
"It's a good thing to get promoted and get rich, but if I find you colluding with him, those fourteen people will be your precedent." Chu Xiangdao, his tone became very serious.
"Yes." Yang Rong said seriously.
"Go." Chu Xiang said.
Yang Rong nodded and left quickly with some excitement, going to Huaxuan Pavilion at the entrance of the red light district to meet Cheng Jie.
Chu Xiang used a gas mask to isolate the outside world during the entire conversation between the two, so the people next to him could never hear what the two said.
Looking at the streets with people coming and going, Chu Xiang felt a little emotional. The red light district was so big that hundreds or even thousands of people were needed to manage the area well. When things got bigger, they would become complicated. He couldn't keep an eye on it all the time.
Here, no matter how perfect the arrangement is, problems will arise sooner or later.
Here is the power that Chu Xiang does not want to give up. If he wants to be able to use this power at any time, he must take good care of them. No matter how the world changes, women will always be an indispensable part. Of course, he cannot abandon it, just like the martial arts hall.
The Jiangwu Hall is not really disbanded. As long as Chu Xiang thinks about it and raises his arms, a more powerful Jiangwu Hall will reappear in front of the people of the world.
"Hello." A voice sounded next to Chu Xiang. The person was two meters away, standing respectfully. She was a woman. Chu Xiang turned around and looked, and the woman continued: "Mr. Chu." These three words were not spoken.
This is a woman who is not ugly. Generally speaking, not ugly means good-looking. Her eyebrows are as curved as the moon, and her big eyes seem to be able to talk. Her eyebrow-length bangs make her look a little cute. She is not old, so she looks just like that.
