Sister-in-law comes for treatment

Chapter 1031 Half-closed door

……

Sister Lan held the kitchen knife to Liu Yuxia's neck, staring dumbfounded at Wang Tiezhu.

She thought Wang Tiezhu would be hesitant to act, but she didn't expect him to be completely indifferent to Liu Yuxia's life or death.

They've run out of cards.

Wang Tiezhu gestured for them to get started: "Get to work, what are you standing there for?"

Sister Lan came to her senses and said in disbelief, "You...you don't care at all whether she lives or dies?"

Wang Tiezhu said coldly, "If you were me, you would know that someone is approaching you with the intention of swindling you out of all your assets."

Do you care whether she lives or dies?

Sister Lan raised her hand and held up the kitchen knife, pointing it at Wang Tiezhu: "Don't come any closer. I'm telling you, my identity... if you know my identity..."

I don't believe you'd dare to lay a hand on me.

A method of provoking generals?

Wang Tiezhu stopped and looked at Sister Lan. Ever since he overheard Sister Lan's conversation with Liu Yuxia, he had been thinking about one thing.

How can we eradicate this sect completely and prevent future troubles?

Now that the other party seemed to be about to reveal some information, he decided to listen: "Then tell me your identity."

Seeing this, Sister Lan took two steps back to create some distance, preventing Wang Tiezhu from suddenly rushing over and attacking her while she was speaking.

Feeling that she had maintained a safe enough distance, she began to introduce herself: "Let's not talk about me first, let's talk about the origin of Bee Gate."

You probably don't know how long the Bee Gate has been passed down.

You should know about the Song Dynasty, right? Beehives existed during the Song Dynasty. Do you know Liang Hongyu?

Everyone knows that Liang Hongyu came from a brothel, but they don't know that her father was also a general who guarded the frontier. Back then, because the court valued civil officials over military ones, it would periodically reprimand the military officers.

They even wanted to kill a few to intimidate other generals.

Liang Hongyu was convicted of failing in suppressing the Fang La Rebellion, and her entire family was demoted to the lowest social class. Liang Hongyu became a prostitute, but she was freed from this status because her husband, Huang Tiandang, made military contributions.

However, Liang Hongyu's younger sister, Liang Qingyu, was deeply involved in a brothel.

At that time, her older sister was fighting in the north with the army, so she asked someone to give her a batch of gold and silver so that she could find someone to marry and redeem herself.

However, to be removed from the social status, one had to find someone with official rank, because scholars held a high social standing at that time.

It's easy to find a woman of low social status to get her freed from that status.

Liang Qingyu found a scholar who was deeply in love with her, gave him all her money, and begged him to help her get out of poverty.

Unexpectedly, the scholar took the money, bought an official position, and became a government official.

Upon learning of this, she fell seriously ill and never recovered. Seeing that she was about to die, the madam sold her to an old widower.

After leaving the brothel, her health gradually improved, but she was filled with boundless hatred; she wanted revenge.

At this point, she stopped.

Just now, she seemed to be influenced by Liang Qingyu in the story; her voice became louder, her speech became faster, and she seemed a little out of breath.

Taking advantage of the moment to catch his breath, he observed Wang Tiezhu and saw that Wang Tiezhu was looking at him with a cold face, showing no emotional fluctuation.

She had a bad feeling: "You don't believe me?"

Wang Tiezhu said coldly, "Trust."

Sister Lan was relieved. If Wang Tiezhu didn't believe her, all the groundwork she had laid would have been for nothing.

As long as she believes, she has a way to save her life.

The tension on her face eased slightly: "Just believe me. Everything I said is true. If even one word is false, may I never leave this courtyard today."

Wang Tiezhu raised an eyebrow but remained silent.

Sister Lan cleared her throat and continued, "Liang Qingyu is preparing to take revenge, but she is just a weak woman. She has loved martial arts since childhood, but she only knows how to play the zither, chess, calligraphy and painting, so she has no way to take revenge."

Moreover, once that scholar became an official, he had servants and bodyguards around him, making it impossible for ordinary people to get close to him.

After much deliberation, she decided to establish an organization, and so Beegate was founded.

The term "bee gate" means a gate that leads to one's demise by attracting bees and butterflies.

It was specially established for that scholar, and most of its members were people from secret brothels, clandestine organizations, and shady businesses.

Do you know what these are?

Wang Tiezhu frowned and shook his head.

He wanted to learn about the Beegate. What he was hearing now seemed to be about its origins, but he still had no knowledge of the Beegate as it was now.

So he was a little anxious.

As for the things she mentioned, he had some vague guesses, but he wasn't sure.

So he shook his head and didn't say anything.

Sister Lan explained, "These people are prostitutes. Some of them are single women, or some have husbands, but their husbands are unable to support the family."

They would just leave the door half open, and any customer looking for a woman would immediately recognize it as an invitation to prostitution.

An "underground door" refers to a situation where an acquaintance knows that a woman is engaged in prostitution and provides services specifically for that acquaintance, or where someone acts as a pimp.

The other two are also prostitutes, but they are women from the lower rungs of the sex trade.

After organizing these people, Liang Qingyu began to make arrangements, finding people to introduce her subordinates into the homes of the scholars as wet nurses, cooks, and servants.

First, she tricked the scholar's father. A cook tricked her father into having a secret rendezvous with her, and secretly knocked the scholar's wife unconscious, allowing the scholar's father to succeed.

Afterwards, fearing the news would spread, the scholar's father gave her a sum of money.

The scholar's wife, fearing the news would leak out, gave her a lot of money.

But that wasn't enough. Liang Qingyu wanted to ruin the scholar's reputation, so she had someone drug him while his mother-in-law was visiting.

Let them consummate their relationship.

Afterwards, he used this incident to extort a large sum of money from someone.

Then he told everyone about his family's messy affairs and his corruption, especially telling the scholar's political enemies.

Later, the scholar was imprisoned.

They got their revenge, but all those shady operators, half-closed doors, and others benefited from this incident, and it was more lucrative than their previous professions.

The organization then managed to survive.

This was the predecessor of Beegate.

Beegate was actually established under duress; it was simply a scheme by a deceived woman seeking revenge on a faithless man.

Wang Tiezhu remained silent with a cold face, still unable to figure out what the woman was trying to express.

At the same time, he didn't want to know the history of Beegate's founding; he only wanted to know about Beegate now. Seeing that the woman was silent, he said coldly, "If that's all you're going to say, then I'll take action."
