Hou Zhenrui's neighbor moved here at the same time as him. Hou Zhenrui was happy to move to his new home, but his neighbor was in a heavy mood and a desolate face, which surprised him and became a little curious, and he was also very careful about this family.
But because the two families were originally unfamiliar, their family was taciturn and as if there was no one around, they kept a distance for a long time and had no chance to date.
The neighbor is Gu Mingxu, a Guangdong native. I guess the male owner is about 50 years old. Judging from his expression and temperament, he looks like a high-ranking official, tall, tall, dignified, gorgeous clothes, serious, and powerful without anger. But his eyes reveal a kind of desolation, heavy sense of coolness, like a tiger falling on the plain and a dragon entering the shallows.
Gu Mingxu has two daughters, the eldest daughter is about fifteen or sixteen years old, and the younger daughter is about thirteen or fourteen years old. Both are as beautiful as flowers and jade, with beautiful eyebrows and graceful eyes, gentle and elegant, and have the style of a lady from a noble family.
A son is about eighteen or nineteen years old, with a refreshing spirit, picturesque eyebrows and eyes, tall and upright. I also saw several servants and maids. There was no housewife, which surprised him again.
Later, during the streets, he heard that this was originally a wealthy family, but now his family has declined. Two years ago, he had a lot of wives and concubines, and the vast land of the vast land has fallen thousands of feet now, so he can only live in this dirt house. However, why did this come to this point, no one in the neighborhood knows the details.
One year, the male owner Gu Mingxu went to Guandong to travel and entrust his children to his friends to take care of him. After that, the revolutionary army occupied Shanghai. At this time, a woman came from Gu Mingxu's family. She was about 30 years old. Although she was already in her youth, she was graceful and charming.
Because the two families have been together for a long time, they naturally began to contact each other. After a while, the relationship became increasingly close. During the interaction, they saw that this woman called a slave and called a maid and acted as a maid as a maid. She also saw that she looked disdainful, so Hou Zhenrui was not easy to ask about and had doubts.
This woman is not only beautiful and charming, but also very funny and talkative. When she was drunk, she often talked about the past. Although it was scattered, Hou Zhenrui was surprised to feel their wealth and glory back then. But why today is so down and out, it is unclear.
One day, two maids privately discussed the woman, and their words were disrespectful. She happened to hear her from beginning to end. The woman was furious and whipped them. From then on, both sides formed a grudge.
Once, Hou Zhenrui vaguely heard a maid curse, "This is a disaster for the sake of the family, and it is not enough to lose oneself, and it is back to harm us..." And so on, Hou Zhenrui took this opportunity to bribe her with money. For the sake of making a profit and venting anger, she told Hou Zhenrui and the history of this woman and the changes of the Gu Mingxu family.
Gu Mingxu learned business since childhood, was familiar with English, smart and intelligent. Before he reached his thirty years, he became a comprador of a foreign company. He was successful in his youth. With talent and good management, he has accumulated tens of thousands of dollars in a few years. The business was booming, and he sought to develop his career. After several efforts, he finally paved the way with money and turned into an official.
Gu Mingxu was very proud, and felt even more elated and full of confidence in front of his peers. However, "Blessings are the hidden dangers; misfortune is the dependence of blessings." Victory, defeat, prosperity and decline, and mutual dependence, often one is careless, and the whole game is lost, and all previous efforts are wasted. It is difficult to reverse the mystery of this gate.
When Gu Mingxu was in a spring breeze, he indulged in lust and thought of lust. hang out with a 13-year-old woman named Ji Hebi. This woman is very beautiful, smart and well-behaved. She flattered Gu Mingxu and tried every means to please him. Gu Mingxu saw her like a lotus in the water, and she was like a lotus in her words. She was fascinated by her intoxication. She first used a thousand gold coins to redeem her body, and then took her as a concubine.
The second year, Ji Hebi gave birth to a daughter, and Gu Mingxu became more and more fond of her. Later, his wife died of depression, and Ji Hebi jumped into the position of the main wife. At this time, Ji and Bi were satisfied. They were kind-hearted and loving couples.
Later, Gu Mingxu went north due to his affairs, three to four times a year, each time taking one to two months. Ji and Bifang were in their prime and were born in brothels. Once they lived alone, they could not bear the loneliness. They often played cards with their brother and their friends for fun in boredom.
His brother, in his early years, had joined Ji and Bi in brothels as a choreographer. A young man was in such a turbid environment, and his mind was gradually polluted and distorted.
Later, Ji Hebi married Gu Mingxu, and he also came over to eat and live in Gu Mingxu's house. He transformed from a brothel to a idle "Three Young Master", who specialized in making friends with some playboys and vulgar and evil young men.
When Gu Mingxu was at home, he often stayed out of the house and did not dare to introduce his friends to the house.
When Gu Mingxu went out, he had no scruples and often invited them to their homes for fun. Among them, there is a Guangdong native named Lu Xiong, who is 23 or 24 years old, strong and beautiful, and is a lustful person. He is also very brave and greedy, and he is greedy for both sex and money, and he refuses to give up his prey easily.
He fell in love with Ji Hebi at first sight. Seeing that Gu Mingxu was not at home and had an opportunity, he showed great attentiveness to Ji Hebi, sweet words and emotions. Ji Hebi is the same as him, and he understands it. The two hit it off, and Lu Xiong became the guest of Ji Hebi's entry.
Later, Gu Mingxu returned home and saw Lu Xiong often coming and going, but Ji Hebi didn't know how to avoid it. He often came out to visit and chat with him. He felt suspicious and felt unusual and a little strange.
Seeing that most of the precious ornaments for Ji Hebi were unknown, Gu Mingxu understood most of the time and questioned Ji Hebi. Ji Hebi refused to deny having an affair with Lu Xiong. After
, Gu Mingxu was very strict with Ji Hebi and did not allow Lu Xiong to come to his house again, but Lu Xiong still dared to meet Ji Hebi. Ji Hebi was afraid that things would be out of control, so he proposed to cut off contact with Lu Xiong.
Lu Xiong refused to give up, saying that if he could not see Ji Hebi again, he would rather commit suicide. Ji Hebi was deeply moved. When he was in a dilemma, he suddenly came up with a way to rescue him and said to Lu Xiong: "Please don't break yourself out no matter what. I have a daughter, who is 14 years old, so let her serve you on my behalf. When Gu Mingxu goes out for a long time again, you will meet me again."
Lu Xiong felt embarrassed at first, but later reluctantly agreed. From then on, Ji Hebi asked his daughter to have a secret meeting with Lu Xiong. When Gu Mingxu went north, Lu Xiong occupied the magpie's nest and came to Gu Mingxu's house to meet his mother and daughter, and used Gu Mingxu's wife and daughter as his wife and concubine.
After Gu Mingxu returned, a servant told Gu Mingxu truthfully. Gu Mingxu was furious and wanted to drive Ji Hebi out of the house. Ji Hebi cried so hard that he couldn't bear it, so he found his wife's third young master and asked him to help stop Lu Xiong from entering the house.
Although the third young master is not a good person, he finally knows that the interests are at stake, and the disaster comes from him, which leads the wolf into the house. He immediately expressed his willingness to take responsibility and is willing to help Gu Mingxu with his help and act according to the opportunity.
So, the third young master found Lu Xiong and asked him to see his feelings and interests, and stopped his sister and daughter, and told Gu Mingxu that he was jealous and asked Lu Xiong not to go to Gu Mingxu's house again and burn himself with fire.
Lu Xiong is obsessed with love for money, he ignores the truth and does his own way, and keeps his relationships as usual. Gu Mingxu was furious and had a murderous intent. He planned to eradicate the roots with the third young master and waited for an opportunity to kill Lu Xiong. Unexpectedly, the daughter learned about this and informed Yu Lu Xiong that Lu Xiong found the third young master and asked if there was any such incident. The third young master denied it.
Perhaps Lu Xiong was worried and frightened for a moment, and he shook his head and tail, and refused to show up for a long time. The killing of Lu Xiong had to be temporarily given up.He also thought he was fed up with the old and gave up on Ji Hebi's mother and daughter. From then on, Gu Mingxu's family could be peaceful, but he suddenly visited again frequently.
One night, he came to Gu Mingxu's house again and proposed to Gu Mingxu to marry his daughter. Gu Mingxu knew in his heart that he was a trick of killing two birds with one stone, but he also pretended to accept it, and prepared a banquet and warmly treated it.
Lu Xiong didn't drink much, and after a few cups, he was already shaking. After midnight, all the servants and maids were asleep. The third young master picked up the kitchen knife and chopped Lu Xiong. Lu Xiong had no power to resist and waited for death, and shouted his life. The third young master hurriedly put the body in a wardrobe and threw it into the wilderness overnight. After returning home to remove the blood, it was dawn.
Fortunately, no one noticed this, and the two were overjoyed. Gu Mingxu gave the third young master a lot of money as a reward. Although they got rid of it, they could not find their past self. I was unwilling to sleep all day long, I was in a daze, trembling, and the wind was so loud that I was like a ghost.
A day later, dozens of police officers surrounded Gu Mingxu's house with great might and prohibited entry and exit, claiming that Gu Mingxu had committed a murder case and came to capture him. Gu Mingxu instinctively wanted to escape, but there was no way out and had to surrender.
Because it was related to human life, the arresting house sent someone to block Gu Mingxu's house and escorted Gu Mingxu to Baoshan County where the body was found for interrogation. Gu Mingxu was sent to jail.
Why did things get exposed so quickly?
It turned out that the third young master made an error in his busy schedule. The exposure process is as follows:
That night, after the third young master killed Lu Xiong, he hurriedly took a wardrobe and put it into the body, and abandoned it in the wilderness.
The next morning, a country man passed by here and saw a beautiful suitcase. He was overjoyed and happily carried it to his home. When he opened it, he saw that it was a person's body, with a different body and head, and his flesh was blurred. He couldn't help but be shocked and cried loudly.
So alarmed the neighbors. When everyone came over and saw it, they were all shocked and sent the corpse suitcase to the county office with him. The county magistrate interrogated the villagers strictly, but the villagers were still shocked and could not speak out. After calming down for a while, he answered the answer of picking up the box.
County magistrate stood up and looked around the box for a week, and asked the county officer, "Do you know Gu Mingxu?" The servant replied, "I know, this person and the alternate, a comprador of a foreign company, and a celebrity in the Shanghai area, how can you not know about it?"
County magistrate said, "He is related to this matter, but he lives in the concession, so it is not convenient to arrest him directly, so the arresting house wants to arrest him." The county officer followed suit, and the arresting house easily captured Gu Mingxu.
solved the case so easily and quickly because the third young master rashly took a wardrobe to load the body, which was sealed by Gu Mingxu.
During the interrogation, Gu Mingxu confessed, claiming that Lu Xiong raped his wife and daughter and was entangled, so he killed him.
When interrogating, the third young master suddenly broke in from outside and loudly claimed that he was a murderer and had nothing to do with Gu Mingxu. The county magistrate was very surprised and began to question the third young master in detail. The third young master stated the whole story and said hatefully: "Lu Xiong raped my sister and daughter, and he was punished!"
Gu Mingxu exonerated the third young master again, saying that he had nothing to do with this matter, and that the real murderer was himself. The two of them were fighting each other. The county magistrate was feeling confused and embarrassed. Suddenly, a woman cried and shouted that the county magistrate would avenge him. She called herself Lu Xiong's wife and called the third young master the murderer.
The county magistrate asked her why she knew that the third young master was the murderer. The woman cried and said, "When the deceased husband was born, he was a friend of the third young master. It has been more than ten years since he met. One day, he suddenly told me that the third young master wanted to kill him. I was surprised and asked the reason. He refused to speak out at first. When I kept asking questions, he burst into tears. He said that Gu Mingxu's daughter told him and vomited all the twists and turns."
"I was strictly prohibited from going again because he was tainted by his wife and daughter, hurting the famous religion, and was against the heavens and against the truth. Unexpectedly, he was indeed killed after ten months.Therefore, I know that the third young master is a murderer for the murderer. "
The county magistrate knew that the third young master was not a good person, so he sentenced the third young master to be the main culprit and was arrested with Gu Mingxu. Gu Mingxu was originally a business person and had a wide range of friends. At this time, a friend tried every means to help him escape. Gu Mingxu also lost his money to self-rescue.
Finally, Lu Xiong was sentenced to be misled by his wife and daughter, and he deserved it. The third young master was sentenced to one year in prison. Gu Mingxu was sentenced to one year in prison and was arrested in the detention center.
One year ended, Gu Mingxu was released from prison, but his family was barely under houses, so he moved into his current place. Later, since the Xinhai incident, Ji Hebi and The third young master was also released, and Ji Hebi returned to Gu Mingxu's house with shamelessness.
Learning about Ji Hebi's life experience and the rapid changes in the Gu Mingxu's family, Hou Zhenrui was speechless for a long time and sighed. Lu Xiong was tainted with a wife and daughter, and was greedy for money and property, which was no different from the demolition of the White Party, and he was still alive!
Gu Mingxu knew that Ji and Bi were not virtuous people, and he had committed adultery with Lu Xiong. He should have driven her into a monk as soon as possible to eliminate future troubles, but hesitated and kept going. He raised a tiger.
As a result, his daughter was damaged, and he caused a murderous tragedy, and he lost all his money, and he almost died! is also sad for those who have gained a wide range of wives and concubines in the world! Women It is an angel and a devil! Don’t forget the past, and the teacher of the future, you can understand it.
Ji Hebi returned to Gu Mingxu’s house. At this time, the Gu Mingxu’s family was no longer the same as before. They could only make a living by selling some clothes and items. Gu Mingxu was unable to take care of it, so they had a hard time living.
proverb says: Filling and warmth think of lust, but not hunger and cold can also make people feel sad. Ji Hebi was defeated by fullness and warmth when he was young, and then he fell from hunger and cold. Ji Hebi met an old woman surnamed Huang in the detention center, and was convicted of trafficking in a person. two people spoke in an opportunistic manner, and they became close friends at first sight. After being released one after another, they still had close contact.
Huang Wu returned to her old business and still made a living by selling human beings. Because her apartment had been monitored, she negotiated with Ji Hebi to use the Gu Mingxu family as a storage place. The interests were shared. Ji Hebi was moved by the money and agreed happily, and Gu Mingxu's family became a dark nest.
The school was on vacation, and Hou Zhenrui had nothing to do. One afternoon, he sat down at Gu Mingxu's house and saw three or four large wooden boxes standing in the house, as tall as the shoulders, extremely large.
He was curious and asked what it was for and where to buy it. Ji Hebi only smiled and didn't answer. When he knocked with his hands, Ji Hebi smiled and said, "Come from Guandong, wearing fur clothes inside." "He was confused and curious inside, so he walked up and kicked it a few times, but it was empty, unlike the fur coat inside.
He heard waves of foul air coming again. He knocked on the wooden box again, but heard the sound of cold face in it, and a moan came again. He was surprised and wanted to open the box to see what happened. Ji Hebi pushed his arm away and pulled him back to his original seat. He smiled mysteriously for a while, and then said in a low voice: "You want to watch it, but come again tonight. "
In the evening, Hou Zhenrui hurriedly had supper and came to Gu Mingxu's house. Ji Hebi smiled and said, "You are too impatient. It's not the time yet, and there are many people and eyes. If we are seen by people with good deeds, we will be sent to jail. Come again in the middle of the night. "
At midnight, Ji Hebi sealed the door first and then opened the box. Hou Zhenrui was shocked to find that two of them were children, and they opened other wooden boxes. 12 men and women came out one after another, with disheveled hair and dirty faces, haggard and emitting a kind of foul air. One of the little girls had a gray complexion and vomited continuously.
Hou Zhenrui asked Ji Hebi privately: "Who put them in the wooden box? Aren't you afraid that they will die of suffocation? That will be punished. "
Ji Hebi replied: "I don't know the whole story, I just borrow this place to store them. When I see you suspicious and believe in your personality, I will let you see what it means, but you must keep your mouth shut, which is related to our wealth and life. Putting it in a wooden box is a temporary grievance for them, and they will not have to worry about wealth and wealth in the future.If you don’t betray us, you can see their new look, and maybe you can also see the stunning beauty, which is a blessing to feast your eyes. "
Hou Zhenrui was in a complicated mood and was in a disordered mood, and retreated voluntarily. After that, six new children came, lived in seclusion in wooden boxes during the day, went out to move at night, and hid at night, like cats and mice.
Hou Zhenrui had compassion, but when they saw them seem to be used to it and had no worries, they were as peaceful as they were. One afternoon, when Hou Zhenrui returned home from outside, he saw Ji Hebi standing next to Gu Mingxu's house, waved to him, and signaled him to go over, and seemed to have a happy face.
Hou Zhenrui walked over, and she whispered: "Do you want to open your eyes and see a beauty? "Hou Zhenrui nodded and said yes. Follow her in the entrance, but Ji Hebi laughed at me and said, "I'm lying to you, there's nothing to do. Be careful to keep your heart in mind. Don't be sold to the devil, which will ruin your reputation. "
Hou Zhenrui heard the sound of her strings outside, so he repeatedly confessed to keeping the secrets strictly and never leaked them. Ji Hebi looked at him studyfully, nodded, and said decisively: "Follow me." "
Hou Zhenrui followed her into a room and saw Huang Yu alone. He felt that Ji Hebi was teasing her with Huang Yu, and stood there awkwardly, not knowing whether to advance or retreat.
Huang Yu turned her head to Ji Hebi and asked her with her eyes. Ji Hebi smiled at Huang Yu and explained: "It's a neighbor, not a policeman. She often comes and goes, and she can't hide it from him, so there is no need to hide it from him. I want him to feast his eyes and see your baby. "
Huang Wu's expression immediately relaxed, her hostility dissipated, and she changed into a proud look. Then she stood up and shook her head to Hou Zhenrui and said, "You are blessed, please follow me." "
Hou Zhenrui followed her into another room with suspicion. He saw a girl sitting in front of the window, leaning down and picking up her belt, with a cute look, black hair piled with clouds, and skin was as beautiful as cream. Seeing someone coming in, a glance of surprise, Hou Zhenrui suddenly felt a bright moon shining light, covering the entire room. Time stopped and space solidified. Bathed in it, she didn't know where she was or where her heart was.
Seeing Hou Zhenrui intoxicated by her treasure, the yellow woman was also overjoyed. Hou Zhenrui asked where she got it, and how to treat and deal with it. Huang Wu sighed deeply and said, "Oh! I don’t know how much effort it takes to achieve this! You are a well-informed person and have always had friendship with the Gu Mingxu family. I thought it would not ruin my affairs, so I might as well give a brief summary. "
" The world curses that those who work this business are destined to be conscience, but it is not the case. I treat it differently, only talent and beauty are the key. Those who are both talented and beautiful will be carefully trained and trained to enjoy wealth and glory, but there is no fairness in the world. A villain will succeed and a sage will be demoted. Every time I come to a girl, I first select some handsome people to take care of themselves and take care of their food, clothing, and health. "
" Ten days later, some people are radiant and charming, while others are indifferent and still describe them. I chose the former to live in a separate room, teach poetry and teach girls red. Some people are smart and intelligent, can recite through their eyes, and have a clever mind; some people are stubborn and have their own appearance, just like rotten wood that cannot be carved. "
" Then select the spiritual wisdom, carefully adjust the work, leisure, food, and emotions, and improve their talents. If they are not too comfortable or hard, they will be rich and moderate. If they are accompanied by rich clothes and delicious food, they will comfort each other with kind words, and will feel comfortable and will not cause worries to become sick and harm their colors. "
" After five years, your physical development is sound, your posture is beautiful, your piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry, and women are all-round, and you can be born and wait for the price. But those with good talent and beauty are hard to get one of them from a thousand miles away, and it is difficult to raise them. Those with ordinary talent and appearance are easy to obtain, raise and sell. "
Hou Zhenrui interjected and said in an instant: "There is a difference between the woman's girl? "
Huang Wu replied, "Yes, the daughter you see is the best. Even if you are beautiful but not smart, then you will lose both talent and color. I determine my value based on my talent and appearance."
Hou Zhenrui asked again: "Where is the one who is above? What is the use of middle and lower? "
Huang Wu replied: "The best-quality products were sold to princes and wealthy businessmen in Beijing, Tianjin, Shanghai and Guangdong as concubines, and the price was 3,000 yuan; those who were beautiful but not talented were sold to girls' courtyards, and the value was hundreds of gold; those who were talented and beautiful had two ways out, or those who were sold to rich families as maids, or those who were sold to Shanghai as difficult girls, but not more than 100 yuan, and less than 30 or 40 yuan. "
" By my hands, some people have rich food and clothing, and they have a lifetime of glory and wealth, while others have no food and clothing, and they have fallen into dust for life. This is all due to the different attitudes of each person, and they all have their own destiny. "
The yellow woman talked endlessly, with a shameless look on her face.
Hou Zhenrui asked the boy again, and she said that the method of screening was the same as that of a woman. The beautiful and intelligent person sold to Guangdong people as adopted sons, and the second was sold as a child servant, but the boys were not sold widely.
Later, Hou Zhenrui went to Gu Mingxu's house again and wanted to ask Huang Wu for details about the dark story of abducting, but he didn't meet him any more. Ji Hebi was also rare to see him. Later, he learned that Huang Wu was in trouble and was arrested and imprisoned. Ji Hebi regained his career as a woman.
The "Shen Bao" in 1917 also published a message sighing: "The wind of abducting in Shanghai in the early Republic of China is getting hot and there are countless young women and boys, girls and young children. There are generally no less than a thousand bandits who use this as a business. The voice of the spirit is used to defraud women and children, and the women are taken to the three northeastern provinces, and the boys are taken to various provinces of Fujian and Guangdong to sell them as slaves. The victims' wives and children are separated, and all of them are suffering from liver and intestinal pain. "
"You cannot have a heart to harm others, and you must be guarded against others." This sentence is well known, but those who are deceived are still emerging one after another. Many people are not without vigilance, but frauds are emerging one after another, and it is hard to prevent them.
In fact, with the rapid development of the Internet and technology, scammers are cheating The methods are varied, and the props of fraud develop and change with the improvement of material level, but the basic idea of fraud is "inherited": make you sympathize with the liar, or make you trust the liar.
