rape

In the evening, sleepy sky.

Yu Zishi had noticed that Hu Hai's condition was not very good, and wanted him to stay at home and go out to buy things by himself, but when he finished packing, he saw Hu Hai sitting on the threshold wearing a thick black cloak as soon as he went out. The wide brim of the hat almost covered his entire face, except for the slightly pointed chin.

Hearing the sound, Hu Hai raised the brim of his hat a little, revealing a pair of dark eyes.

After Yu Zishi took a look, he felt that the appearance of Hu Hai sitting alone on his steps, coupled with his eyes, really looked like a small animal that was about to be abandoned.He took two steps forward, stood in front of Hu Hai and lowered his head and said softly, "Stay alone at home and wait for me to come back."

There was a flash of disappointment in Hu Hai's eyes. He lowered his head, looked away at the bluestone bricks in the yard after a while, and finally nodded slightly.

"Really want to go out?" Seeing his appearance, Yu Zishi squatted in front of him and asked.

"En." Hu Hai's eyes lit up again, and he looked at Yu Zishi expectantly.

Yu Zishi looked at Hu Hai quietly and was silent for a moment.No matter where he went these two days, Hu Hai followed him every step of the way. He didn't speak, but followed very quietly. Yu Zishi often turned his head to meet Hu Hai's gaze silently looking at him, and then he could see the young man's face being discovered uneasy.In Yu Zishi's eyes, he felt a little distressed for no reason.

"Let's go." Yu Zishi stood up suddenly, reached out and took off Hu Hai's hat, "Let's go together, and see if there is anything you want by the way."

Hu Hai immediately stood up, and smiled slightly at Yu Zishi. He tugged at Yu Zishi's sleeve and walked down the steps. Yu Zishi moves in one direction.

Yu Zishi looked at Hu Hai, under the dark sky, the boy was walking by his sleeve without looking back.Yu Zishi immediately recalled one thing. When Hu Hai was young, he could not see clearly at night for a period of time. After the sky darkened, he could not find his way back as soon as he went out. Yu Zishi thought it might be night blindness. Then add liver to Hu Hai's meals three times a day, from pork liver to chicken liver, from rabbit liver to lamb liver, and eat it for several months. The child couldn't take it anymore, and one day he silently pulled his sleeve He said to himself: "Sir, there are still many people in the world who can't eat meat. I've thought about it. I, I want to share weal and woe with them."

At that time, Yu Zishi was shocked by such a profound ideological awareness of the young Hu Hai, and then let him eat leeks for a year.

At this time, Yu Zishi looked at the young man who was walking in the wrong direction without looking back and dragging him, squinting his eyes and smiling.He gently held Hu Hai with his backhand, and said helplessly, "Your Highness, the night market in Xianyang is not in this direction."

Hu Hai paused and turned to look at Yu Zishi.Yu Zishi sighed softly, and walked back holding Hu Hai's hand.On the dark street, Hu Hai stared down at Yu Zishi holding his hand in a daze. The expression on his face seemed to froze for a moment, then he looked up at Yu Zishi.

Yu Zishi noticed that Hu Hai was standing still, and looked back at him suspiciously.

Hu Hai immediately took two steps to keep up with Yu Zishi, and after a while, he silently slowed down and walked half a step behind Yu Zishi.From this angle, he only needs to turn his head slightly to see Yu Zishi's side face clearly, but it is not easy for Yu Zishi to notice.

The two walked to the night market in Xianyang. They said it was a night market, but in fact it was quite different from the night market in later generations. The money and goods in it were all priced by the imperial court, and the tax was heavy. The merchants did not have much profit. Influenced by the idea of ​​suppressing merchants, the status of merchants was low. Since Lu Buwei was dismissed, the status of merchants has plummeted. Various factors led to the economic prosperity of the Qin Dynasty.Yu Zishi once wanted to change the status quo for a while, but later found that in the war years, people should be more pragmatic first.

After wandering around the market for a while, Yu Zishi picked out a few simple things, and when he turned around, he found Hu Hai standing motionless in front of the cloth stall.Yu Zishi walked over and found that Hu Hai was looking at a very plain white cloth, which is the most common kind of cloth, and farmers in Xianyang basically have one piece, which is very convenient for weaving clothes or for other purposes.

Hu Hai stared at the piece of cloth for a long time, then turned his head to look at Yu Zishi silently, the anticipation in his eyes almost flickered.

Yu Zishi didn't quite understand, when did Hu Hai and Hu Ting have the same hobbies?After pondering for a moment, he asked Hu Hai: "Want to buy this?"

"Yeah." Hu Hai nodded.

Yu Zishi stretched out his hand to touch the fabric, and it felt very rough to the touch, completely incomparable to the fabric in the palace. He glanced at Hu Hai and asked, "Do you like this?"

"Hmm." Hu Hai reached out and touched the fabric, his fingertips slowly slid down from the top, and there was a flash of light in his eyes for a moment.

Then Yu Zishi watched as Hu Hai stretched out his hand to hug the piece of cloth, and looked back at himself silently with a pair of dark eyes.It looked like he was just waiting for Yu Zishi to pay.Yu Zishi swallowed the sentence "Actually, the fabric is not very good, so don't buy it" that was about to be said. He subconsciously touched his pocket, and then crossed four words in his mind: I can't afford it.

He is also considered an unemployed person now, and there is no such thing as relief money in this era, so there is only so little money left in total, and he still counts on it for a few more days.And obviously, the young master doesn't understand the hardships of people's livelihood, he just looked at Yu Zishi expectantly.Growing up so big, Hu Hai has never liked anything, let alone asked Yu Zishi for something. This is the first time he opened his mouth to him. Thought: buy!Must buy!You have to buy it even if you want to sell it!

He immediately turned his head to look at the eyeing businessman, and clapped his hands on the table, "How much?"

The businessman narrowed his eyes and smiled, quoted a price, and winked at Yu Zishi playfully, "Young Master, you have a good eye."

Yu Zishi glanced at Hu Hai who was holding the cloth tightly, took out the last bit of silver from his pocket in the cold wind, and threw it into the merchant's hand, "There's no need to look for it."

After saying this, he took a step forward and pulled Hu Hai back.

When the two walked all the way and were almost home, Hu Hai finally came to his senses. He frowned and asked in surprise, "Sir, are we poor now?"

At that time, Yu Zishi glanced at Hu Hai. The young man wearing fine silk clothes was standing under the pale silver moonlight. His demeanor made it clear that he was a noble boy from a high family. Yu Zishi met his puzzled gaze and pondered After a while, he slowly said: "Money is something outside of the body. People live in this world with a lot of money on their bodies. How many people are burdened by money, fame and fortune all their lives? If you want to live a comfortable life, you can't care too much about the gains and losses of money."

After hearing Yu Zishi's words, Hu Hai was silent for a while and said, "So we are really poor now."

"Yes."

Hu Hai tightened his grip on the piece of cloth, stopped, and stood there watching Yu Zishi without speaking, with an expression of worrying that Yu Zishi would take the things back and sell them.

The corner of Yu Zishi's mouth twitched, and he stretched out his hand to embrace him, "Don't worry, Mr. is poor and ambitious, so it's no problem to support you."

Hu Hai turned his head to look at Yu Zishi's hand on his shoulder, and suddenly said softly: "I eat very little." After a pause, he said softly: "I can eat even less."

"It's not that far." Yu Zishi looked at Hu Hai's serious look and couldn't help laughing, "It will be fine after a while." After saying this, he turned his head and looked at Hu Hai quietly.

The boy was slightly shorter than him, and looked a little thin. His face was wrapped in a thick black cloak, which looked particularly delicate and clean.Yu Zishi looked at him for a while, reached out and touched his head, and said softly, "Everything will be fine."

Hu Hai looked up at him, and suddenly asked, "Sir, are you really not an official?"

Yu Zishi's hand touching his head paused slightly, and after a while he rubbed his hair, sighing leisurely: "These things are too complicated, you are too young."

After hearing Yu Zishi's words, Hu Hai's eyes flickered slightly, but he didn't speak.

Yu Zishi clearly didn't want to continue this topic, so he changed the topic without a trace. The two walked on the long street, chatting with each other, and walked back slowly.

Looking from a distance, under the pale silver moonlight, one blue and one black complement each other perfectly.

……

In the dead of night, Hu Hai gently lifted the quilt and got off the bed.Before leaving, he turned around and gently covered Yu Zishi with the quilt. The room was in darkness. He reached out and stroked Yu Zishi's hair lightly, then got up and walked outside the room.

Walking into the side room, he lighted a grease lamp casually. He reached out and took out the white cloth he just bought today from the wooden box, and gently spread it to cover the table.

Under the dim light, with an indifferent expression, he rolled up half of his sleeves, dipped his pen and ink, and calmly began to draw on the white cloth.

The ink from the pen tip was quickly absorbed by the white cloth without any smearing. The texture of the white cloth was unexpectedly suitable for painting.Hu Hai's eyes reflected the dim and flickering light of the fire, and he kept writing.

Soon, a girl in her teens appeared on the canvas, with a long-sleeved skirt and clear eyebrows.

Hu Hai's final stroke was settled and he closed his momentum.He glanced lightly at the girl on the canvas, and after a while, he wrote a correct character "Jade" in small seal script on the upper right corner, then put down his pen and put away the painting.

……

In the early morning of the next day, as soon as Li Si walked out of the yard, he saw his unfilial son sitting in the yard with his back turned to him, and he didn't know what he was doing. As soon as he got closer, he heard Li You exclaiming to himself: "It's so beautiful! If I marry a wife in the future, I will definitely marry someone who looks like this. What kind of Princess Qin, Huayang Liyang Huating, this is incomparable!"

Li Si squinted his eyes, looking at Li You's back, his eyes gradually became dangerous.He walked towards Li You, squatted down beside him without making a sound, glanced sideways at the portrait in Li You's hand, and asked very naturally, "Who is this?"

"I don't know." Li You responded casually, then turned his head abruptly, and stood up the next moment, "Father!"

Li Si didn't stand up, but sat down on the ground. He looked up at Li You, and slowly extended his hand towards him.

Li You tightened his hands behind his back, and then saw Li Si squinting his eyes. He immediately handed the painting to Li Si with both hands, and said loudly, "Father, please have a look!"

Li Si was quite satisfied with Li You's awareness of current affairs, so he stretched out his hand to take the painting and opened it to look at it. At first he didn't respond, but the next moment he frowned fiercely, and stretched out his hand to caress the girl on the painting, " Where did you get this painting?" His eyes suddenly became sharp.

Li You was frightened by Li Si's eyes, and he opened his mouth and said awkwardly: "This morning, what's wrong with the one hanging in the yard this morning?"

Li Si was silent for a moment, and said two words, "Xiong Yu."

"What?" Li You clearly hadn't reacted yet.

"Mr. Changping's only daughter, Xiong Yu." Li Si looked up at Li You, his eyes were a little heavy, and after a while he said in a deep voice, "I didn't expect to look like this."

"What's the matter? It's... so pretty?" Li Youqian laughed twice, and as soon as he said it, he felt that the atmosphere was even weirder, because Li Si looked up at him with indifferent eyes.

After a while, Li Si looked away, "It happened nearly 20 years ago, it's normal if you don't know about it, and I was just an ordinary courtier at that time."

"Come on, what's the matter? What's wrong with Xiong Yu?" Li You plucked up his courage, and moved to Li Si's side as if smelling gossip.

Li Si glanced at Li You, but said nothing.

Li You leaned closer to Li Si and said with a smile, "Father?"

"If you're not afraid of death, just listen." Li Si looked away from the unfilial son, stretched out his hand and spread the canvas a little, "Changping Lord Xiong Qi has no offspring in his life, but has a daughter who has been raised under his knee for more than ten years. About ten years ago, he resigned from the position of Daqin Xiangbang to guard Yingchen. That place was the border of Chu and Qin, and he would never come back after going there. It can be said that Xiong Qi's career in Daqin was ruined in that year. Doing the math, it was almost the day when Xiong Yu was born. Xiong Qi has a withdrawn temper and cruel methods, but he dotes on his only daughter very much, even to the point of doting too much. In the end, he even hid Xiong Yu in Yingchen. In the palace, no outsiders are allowed to visit. At that time, there were rumors in Chu, "Li Si took a deep look at Li You, and slowly said: "Xiong Qi committed incest with his daughter and violated morals."

"No, isn't it?" Li You looked shocked, and pointed at the beautiful girl in the painting, almost speechless.This, this is an absolute beast!

"I also thought Mr. Changping was quite courageous before." Li Siyun continued calmly, "But now I feel that this matter is not easy."

"Beast!" Li You immediately expressed [-] points of anger at what happened to Xiong Yu, "Beasts are not as good as!"

Li Si just looked at Li You quietly, and after he scolded and asked, he continued calmly: "Everyone in the world knows that Mr. Changping is a manly man, and likes to prostitute children. For this daughter of Mr. Changping who came out of nowhere The unanimous statement is that her mother was Chang Ping Jun's drunken singer. "

"Beasts!"

"But this Xiong Yu looks like a person to me."

"Beasts!"

"Queen Zhao."

"Bird..." Li You stared at Li Si with wide-eyed eyes. He almost lost his breath in the middle of a sentence. He coughed several times and said sharply, "What did you say?"

"I told you, just listen if you're not afraid of death." Li Si looked at Li You indifferently with an expression of "you must listen", "Are you still listening?"

I've heard this before, and if I die, I have to understand it.Li You nodded his head fiercely immediately, with a look of death.

"Do you know who the Empress Dowager Zhao is?"

"The current Empress Dowager, Your Majesty's biological mother." Li You whispered to Li Si's ear, "You mean, Xiong Yu is the daughter of Xiong Qi and Queen Mother Zhao?"

After listening to Li You's words, Li Si was silent for a long time.

"Father?"

Li Si said slowly: "I'm doubting one thing, whether you are my own." It stands to reason that Li Si was smart all his life, and the blood of the same clan is not at this level.

Li You: "..."

"Stop talking." Li Si stood up with a flick of his sleeves, put away the painting, and patted Li You's shoulder, "If you want to know the truth, you should think about it yourself. The mess is still waiting for me to clean up."

Li You: "..."

After walking out of the courtyard and standing still in the courtyard, Li Si slowly pulled out the painting from his sleeve, his eyes dimmed.Xiong Yu in this portrait looks young, as if it was painted a few years ago, but the pen and ink canvas is brand new, which means that someone copied it again according to the portrait.

But who would know about this age-old palace scandal?

Taking in the wicked daughter of the court, if the way Qin Wang Yingzheng handled this matter in the past, Xiong Qi was able to barely save a life is definitely a good luck for the ancestral grave to smoke.Everyone knows that this matter is the only rebellious scale of Qin Wang Yingzheng, whoever touches it will die, and even Lu Buwei fell into this matter back then.The people who died in that turmoil were not counted by head, but by the number of clans killed. Dozens of important officials of the court were killed in one go, and more than 20 clans were slaughtered.

The person who sent the painting wanted Xiong Qi to die without a place to bury him.

Li Si touched the extremely ordinary canvas, a piece of white cloth that could be bought and sold in Xianyang city, and everyone had a piece of white cloth, and his vision was extremely deep.Other than him, there are people who want Xiong Qi to die so much. It seems that Lord Changping has offended many people.

……

There are only a few days left for the Chinese New Year. As a member of the Qin royal family, Hu Hai naturally has to go back to celebrate the La Festival. Yu Zishi sent him back to the palace. At the gate of the palace, a young man in black tugged at his sleeve and refused to let him go. , under Yu Zishi's squinted eyes, he lowered his head and slowly let go of his hand, with an aggrieved look of being abandoned.

Yu Zishi straightened his collar, and said calmly: "It's not that you can't come out to see me, why are you so wronged?"

Hu Hai pursed his lips and remained silent, letting Yu Zishi adjust his collar.

"After you go back," Yu Zishi took a deep look at Hu Hai, and after thinking for a long time, he finally couldn't help telling him, "Be careful with Ronaldinho. If she brings you food, remember to let her eat first." Yu Zishi thought about it I want to add: "The drink is the same."

"Yeah." Hu Hai nodded.

"However, if she has eaten all of them, you are a majestic Mr. Qin, don't eat other people's leftovers." Yu Zishi said solemnly, and finally spared the effort to euphemistically say "Don't eat what Xiao Luo sent" said it.

Hu Hai still nodded, not looking like he really wanted to leave.Seeing his stupid look, Yu Zishi was suddenly worried.In front of the palace guards, he didn't reach out to touch Hu Hai's head, but he stretched out his hand carefully and straightened Hu Hai's sleeves, "If anything happens in the palace, you can find Meng Yi or Zheng Zheng. Bin Ducheng."

Hu Hai looked at Yu Zishi, and responded softly after a while, "Yes."

The more Yu Zishi explained, the more he felt why he was so worried. After talking a lot, he finally pushed Hu Hai lightly, "Go back."

Hu Hai turned around and walked towards the Qin Palace. After walking a few steps, he suddenly looked back at Yu Zishi, who immediately frowned and shook his head slightly at him.

Hu Hai looked at him for a while, then raised his hand to put on the black hood, turned around and walked towards the Qin Palace. The majestic Qin Palace, with blue tiles and black bricks, surrounded the world. The young man walked on the neat and spacious straight road, towards the Qin Palace. Walk.Just like his father, his father's father, and his ancestors, he walked towards Xianyang Palace step by step in royal costumes with red cloud patterns on a black background.

Yu Zishi stood at the same spot, looking at the black-clad man among the people in the Tsing Yi Palace, he suddenly had a slight illusion that the young man's body was chilling, and his hands behind his back actually looked like a king of the world.

Yu Zishi frowned, and took a closer look, the young man looked back at him at the gate of the palace, he could feel the young man's aggrieved eyes from such a long distance.The corner of Yu Zishi's mouth twitched, he was basically sure that the moment just now was his illusion.

Yu Zishi walked home and sat alone in the mansion for a while, thinking that Hu Hai was still very worried about being alone in the palace, he was also quite strange, he was not so concerned before, why now he is more and more unable to let go of Hu Hai Now, maybe the young man looked at him with too much trust, maybe he suddenly realized that the young man's temperament seemed to have not changed at all over the years. The more cowardly he looked, the more worried Yu Zishi felt in his heart. feel... sad.

Just as he was thinking, Yu Zishi, who couldn't sit still, wanted to talk to Zheng Bin, when he just stood up, he heard a loud knock on the door.

"Zhao Gao! Zhao Gao! Open the door!"

That voice was clearly Xu Fu.Yu Zishi immediately supported his forehead, this fortune teller who was in charge of fishing for fame and pretending to be a ghost in the Qin Palace was really a strange person.He went up and opened the door, Xu Fu almost fell in.

"Zhao Gao!" Xu Fu yelled at Yu Zishi as soon as he stabilized his figure, "Why did you resign! Zhao Gao, you can't do this, you can't leave me alone in Qin Palace!"

"..." Yu Zishi silently reached out and covered his ears to prevent himself from being knocked out by the high-pitched sound.

"Zhao Gao! I don't know how to float!" Xu Fu yelled as if he had been greatly wronged: "I can't even paddle through that small pool in Lanyuan!"

"No, you can learn..."

Before Yu Zishi finished speaking, Xu Fu suddenly raised his voice, and Yu Zishi suddenly covered his ears.

"My fortune-telling for the past two days is an ominous omen! A disaster of blood and light! The evil spirit has entered the palace! Fate and water are retrograde!" Xu Fu roared.

Yu Zishi looked at him for a long time, sighed, stretched out his hand to pat Xu Fu's shoulder heavily, and said in a deep voice, "Well, Xu Fu, don't panic, I'll give you a few words, when you see Li Si, Feng Jie, Meng Yi, etc. People, just read it silently a few times in your heart, and you should feel better."

"What?"

"Gou benefit the country's life and death, how can we avoid it because of misfortune and good fortune." After saying these two sentences, Yu Zishi stretched out his hand and closed the door neatly.

Xu Fu, who was left in a mess at the same place, was stunned for a long while, and then roared, "The ghost wants to give you 'life and death'! Zhao Gao, open the door! Open the door!"

Yu Zishi walked to another corner of the yard, turned over the wall lightly, then jumped down, and turned to the direction of Taiwei's Mansion.
