Chapter 345 Tian Yuzhi
Lin Hui's eyes flashed. This was the first time he had ever seen the gang leader so emotionally expressive. He didn't dare to delay and called his men to leave.
Yun Yi then led Guo Yajing and Xiao Pingting to sit down at a small food stall near Bangzi Hutong.
“Aunt Fang, my mother…” Xiao Pingting’s eyes were bloodshot, and her little hands were nervously twisting together.
"Don't worry, your mother will be fine." Yunyi ordered three bowls of wontons. "Eat first."
Xiao Pingting's bloodshot eyes immediately showed surprise. She knew that food was very precious in this place. Her family were criminals and usually lived on the relief food they received. Occasionally, her grandfather, father, and second uncle would bring back some food, but it was all coarse grains. These wontons were made of white flour, and they gave them to her?
"Eat up." Yunyi took the lead and ate one. This was also her first time eating snacks in Black City. The wontons were very small, with very little filling. They were basically just a piece of dough. Fortunately, the soup was well-cooked and made with pork bone broth, so it was edible.
Guo Yajing also gestured.
Xiao Pingting was really hungry, and she ate the wontons in big bites, but she stopped after eating half of them: "Aunt Fang, I... can I leave some for Mom?"
Yunyi glanced at Guo Yajing, then smiled: "No need, we'll buy it when your mother comes back."
Xiao Pingting then finished all the wontons in her bowl, and even drank the soup.
Guo Yajing wanted to give her hers, but Yunyi stopped her: "She hasn't eaten enough in a long time, and eating too much now will be bad for her stomach."
Guo Yajing then gave up, finished her wontons, and paid the money on her own initiative.
Yunyi didn't rob it; three bowls of wontons would only cost eighteen copper coins.
Lin Hui led his men and immediately surrounded Bangzi Hutong, then kicked open each of the doors.
In places like Black City, brothels and gambling dens are the most prevalent, especially brothels. After all, many of the exiled women do not engage in productive labor, and they need ways to survive.
Although it's shameful, it's better than death.
Previously, the largest secret establishment in Black City was located on Dingzi Street, but after Zhou Jinghan took control of it, it was reorganized.
He originally wanted to abolish it, but Yunyi stopped him.
In this place, or rather in this era, such an industry is unstoppable, because even in the capital, prostitution is legal, and in some places it is even a major source of local tax revenue.
If the T-shaped street is shut down, those women will not be able to live a normal life, and may even be unable to live at all. It would be like cutting off their livelihood. Therefore, it would be better to reorganize it and keep it.
Therefore, although the brothels on T-shaped streets still exist, there will be no perverted customers, and they cannot take pleasure in torturing women. If they are discovered, the consequences will be unimaginable.
Furthermore, forcing women into prostitution is not allowed here, and anyone found doing so will be severely punished.
Therefore, those who wanted to exchange women for money and career advancement dared not send people here, and thus, this Bangzi Hutong became popular.
This area used to belong to Bai Wu, but since Bai Wu is dead, Bai Jianming has replaced him with someone else, Kuang Shi.
Originally, Bai Wu intended for Kuang Shi to kill Yun Yi before introducing him to Bai Jianming. However, before Kuang Shi could succeed, Bai Wu died. This man was quick-witted and immediately saw it as an opportunity, so he volunteered himself.
Bai Jianming didn't care, as long as someone was watching over Black City, that was enough. So, he became Master Kuang of Black City.
This man was originally a street thug who knew kung fu. Although he was only a third-rate martial artist in the martial arts world, he was already quite capable of dealing with ordinary people in Black City. Therefore, he was more terrifying and vicious than Bai Wu.
Every woman sent to Bangzi Hutong had to pass through his eyes first.
At this moment, Tian Yuzhi had already been brought before him.
Tian Yuzhi came from a humble background, but she was beautiful and had been well-versed in poetry and literature since childhood, giving her an outstanding temperament. Xiao Mufeng fell in love with her at first sight, and it was the still-living wife of the Grand Tutor who proposed marriage to her.
Kuang Shi looked at Tian Yuzhi, a little tempted. This woman was simply... the apple of his eye. He couldn't help but rub his hands together: "Come with me, and I promise you'll have a brighter future..."
Tian Yuzhi took two steps back, then suddenly raised her hand and held up the wooden hairpin she had been holding for a long time: "I would rather die."
"You..." Kuang Shi was stunned for a moment, then laughed. Suddenly, he was in front of her, grabbed her hand, snatched the wooden hairpin away, and used his other hand to pin her down in front of him. "Are you dead?"
Tears streamed down Tian Yuzhi's face, and the only thing she could do was bite her tongue.
"You'd better not try to kill yourself, otherwise, if you die now, your daughter will be under my feet right away, hehe."
Tian Yuzhi immediately deflated.
"You're so beautiful, and your husband is such a coward. Why are you still staying for him? It's not worth it. I don't mind that you've given birth before. As long as you're with me, you'll serve me exclusively from now on and I won't let anyone else bully you. How about it?"
Tian Yuzhi took a deep breath: "Then don't touch my daughter."
"Don't worry, I'm not interested in children." Kuang Shi said, picking the person up in his arms.
Tian Yuzhi clenched her hands tightly, not even noticing the piercings in her palms. She was too filthy, too filthy; even the King of Hell probably wouldn't want to see her…
Just then, a commotion suddenly broke out outside.
"Master Kuang, something bad has happened! The Fengyun Gang is here."
"What are they doing here?" Kuang Shi's expression changed upon hearing this. Despite his confident assertion to Bai Wu that Boss Yun was just a little girl, he knew in reality that she was no ordinary little girl, and that he couldn't beat her anyway.
"They said they were looking for someone."
Kuang Shi glanced at Tian Yuzhi subconsciously, then gave the order: "The person they're looking for isn't here. Tell them..."
"Kuangshi." Just then, someone outside burst in. "How do you know we don't have the person we need?"
Kuang Shi trembled in fright, put Tian Yuzhi down, and turned to leave the room: "So it's Deputy Chief Lin. This is Lord Hou's territory, so you should..."
"Stop talking nonsense." Lin Hui ignored him. In fact, if the gang leader wanted to, he would have unified Black City long ago. But he didn't know what the gang leader was thinking. He integrated all the other forces and left only the forces that Bai Wu had previously controlled. "Our Fengyun Gang still doesn't want to fall out with you. It's not worth it for a woman."
Kuang Shi's expression was rather unpleasant.
“Kuangshi,” Lin Hui stepped forward, “I’m just giving you a friendly warning. The Xiao family were once the Grand Tutor, and the Empress is still alive. What if…”
