lustful

The scholar was scared to death, and Huo Yunshan carried him to Dali Temple, where he was going to be interrogated.

"I... I said, I actually know her!" The scholar was about to cry.

Seeing his cowardice, Xiaobai felt that the situation was not good.Next spring will be Chunwei, and all those who come to take the exam will be like this, it will kill people.

Huo Yunshan left him behind: "Tell me, what's going on."

The scholar confessed honestly: "So I have known this girl for some time, and I... am a little familiar with her."

Huo Yunshan said: "What do you know?"

Liu Yi said: "I don't know, I've only moved here five years, I don't know anything!"

"What!" Xiaobai exclaimed, "You have been here for five years and you said you don't know anything."

Liu Yi flinched: "I study on weekdays, and I don't go out very much, and she doesn't go out very much either. I...we don't know each other very well. Later, she asked me to sell her calligraphy and paintings, so I talked to her about some paintings. of."

"You were the one who helped her find her next family?" Huo Yunshan asked in surprise.

Liu Yi nodded: "My hometown is far away from the capital. I failed the exam once, so I'm studying here and I plan to take the exam again next year. These days I'm taking the exam to copy books and sell calligraphy and paintings to make money. The bosses of some bookstores and Everyone in the bookstore knows me."

Huo Yunshan said: "Did you teach her how to draw?"

Liu Yi quickly waved her hand: "It's not me!"

He sighed: "She draws much better than me, how can I teach her."

Xiaobai was puzzled: "Who taught her that, she couldn't have learned it by herself from birth!"

Liu Yi thought for a while: "She told me that she came from a poor background. She was originally from a well-to-do family. Both her parents could read and teach her a lot when she was a child. Later, her family fell into poverty and she had no choice but to become a prostitute. She After moving to Pingkangfang, I also studied by myself in my spare time."

Huo Yunshan said: "Her level cannot be learned by herself."

Liu Yi was stunned for a moment, and said softly: "She said she used to know a scholar who lived in the house I rented, and then returned home after failing the exam, and wanted to take the exam in Beijing next year, but She waited for five years, but she never waited for that scholar again."

Xiaobai said: "That scholar taught her?"

Liu Yi nodded: "That's what she told me. She doesn't seem like a liar."

Huo Yunshan had no choice but to let the scholar be guarded first, no matter what he said was true or not, there were too many problems anyway.

When the scholar was escorted away, he suddenly turned around and said, "I... Anyway, Miss Tong really didn't commit suicide, she must have been killed, she asked me to borrow books a few days ago. "

How can a person who wants to borrow books to learn die?

She should want to live more than anyone else, and want to live well.

Huo Yunshan's heart sank.

Some melancholy flavor gradually drifted away from the sky.

Huo Yunshan and Xiaobai went to Pingkangfang to ask again.Everyone doesn't like Mrs. Ruyi very much.

Huo Yunshan met a washerwoman casually and asked her about it.

The laundry woman's face was not very good-looking: "Hey, how did I know her, I'm an honest person, I don't know this kind of person."

Huo Yunshan: "..."

"Look at your young age, why don't you learn well, and you will hang out with this kind of person. It's better for her to die, so that other people's families won't be worried. Why don't you just sell yourself to a brothel to become a prostitute, and sit at home as a prostitute, even Our neighbors are in trouble." The woman left dissatisfied.

Huo Yunshan walked helplessly to Mrs. Ruyi's house again.

There are some books in her house, as well as pens and inks. People who don't know may think that this is where the candidates for the exam live.

Huo Yunshan chatted with the guard officer: "You are here, has anyone ever been here?"

The official said with a big head: "My lord, there are many people here, but none of them seem to be a murderer."

"a lot of?"

The official said: "A lot of women are burning paper here. I wish her early bliss and don't harm the world."

Huo Yunshan: "..."

The official said again: "This woman was notorious for provoking all men before she was alive. All the good women in the neighborhood don't like her."

"Did anyone say what kind of temperament she is, and will she offend anyone?" Huo Yunshan said.

The officer scratched his head: "Well, let's not talk about it. Although these people hate her, they can't say that they have any serious hatred. It is said that her character is not very good, but she has a good temper. She can't fight back if she is beaten or scolded. It’s just that she’s a bit dissolute and often seduces other men, and those drunk men often forget to give money, and she chases them to their homes to ask for money, but is beaten out by their mother-in-law. The neighbors and neighbors are disturbed.”

Huo Yun's mountain top is getting bigger.

At first, he felt that this was a story about a troubled and talented woman who became a prostitute, but later he realized that this prostitute was a real prostitute, and... there was an old friend and a good scholar who didn't know who it was.

He rubbed his head.

"Is there anyone she's friendly with, man!" Huo Yunshan asked.

The officer looked at Huo Yunshan and coughed: "Do you have any good friends, but there are a lot of good friends."

Huo Yunshan waved his hand: "This kind of thing doesn't count. Is there any candidate for the Beijing exam who came to look for her."

The officer shook his head: "I have inquired about it, no, and... the exams for the exams in Beijing are all innocent, even if you are looking for a woman, you have to go to the brothel to find a young and talented prostitute. Such an old woman is not beautiful enough. The prostitutes who come and go are drunkards, idlers, widowers. There are no decent people."

Huo Yunshan thought that he could be a decent person after visiting brothels, and then he thought that he was also a frequent visitor to brothels back then, so he didn't say anything.

Xiaobai came to Huo Yunshan with a lot of calligraphy and paintings.

Huo Yunshan asked in surprise, "What are you doing?"

Xiaobai handed over the calligraphy and painting to the officials and asked them to hang them up.

After hanging it up, Huo Yunshan was extremely surprised.

These paintings are so good.

Xiaobai took a sip of water and said excitedly.

I dragged brother Xiao around the nearby calligraphy and painting shop for a day, guess what I found!

Huo Yunshan looked at him nervously: "What did you find?"

Xiaobai pointed to a pile of paintings: "Have you seen it? Uncle Xiaohuang told me that she drew all these by herself."

Huo Yunshan looked carefully.

There are many paintings, here are a dozen.

There are mountains and rivers, flowers and plants, and beauties.

There are paintings of various styles.

It cannot be said that every painting is superior, but these paintings are very good.

The name of the landscape painting: Liu Yi.

The flowers and plants are also inscribed with their names: people in the mountains.

Only the pictures of beauties do not have names.

The picture of a beauty is the lowest, and she sells it to art dealers at a low price under her own name, and the married ones who sell are not high.No one cares who painted those various women.

"Could it be that she has been painting for Liu Yi to earn money?" Huo Yunshan was shocked.

"These paintings are sold to art dealers. Landscapes can be sold for ten taels of silver a piece; flowers and plants can be sold for 20 taels." Xiaobai said.
