rape

Cao Wuchen was sitting in front of the case flipping through a file, holding a ink pen in his hand and marking a few strokes on the list from time to time, with a careless look.Kneeling beside him were two court ladies in green clothes, bowing their heads and beating his shoulders lightly, with pointed chins and slender eyebrows like willows.

The dossier in Cao Wuchen's hands records all kinds of criminals imprisoned in Ye Ting, ranging from the powerful Wang Qing to the humble palace officials, loyal ministers who have been wronged, and power rapers who have lost power. , A stroke of cinnabar wipes out all the old grievances of the past, and 18 years later, he will be a proud young man again.Thinking about it, Cao Wuchen casually crossed out another name that didn't look very pleasing to the eye.

Cao Wuchen didn't have any fixed standards for killing people. One day, thinking about it, he felt that there were too many people in Yeting Prison, and it was time to make room for them, so he dug out the roster and picked a few to kill. Generally, those with long names are easier to die, and those who are older are easier. Death, people who borrow the "gold" of the five elements in their names are also prone to death.In the words of Mr. Cao, people who are short of gold in the five elements should use their names to take advantage of the situation to ignore things. Pen knife punishment.

This criminal law is also called Ling Chi in later generations, and it is a real swordsman.

When Yu Zishi walked in, Cao Wuchen was doing a good deed every day to make up the five elements for others, and he smiled as soon as he looked up.

"Yo, Mr. Zhao, a rare visitor." Cao Wuchen threw down the file, pushed away the two little maids and came up with their waists hooked. He smiled and said, "Come on, Mr. Zhao, dare to take your seat quickly."

Yu Zishi found a seat and sat down. When he looked up, he saw Cao Wuchen pushing the maid down, and he offered a thick cushion to please, "Master Zhao, add a thick mattress, so you don't get tired."

"No need." Yu Zishi shook his head, "Master Cao, please sit down."

When Cao Wuchen saw Yu Zishi's slightly serious look, he hurriedly hugged the cushion and sat down beside Yu Zishi, with a sincere and serious face, and said in a deep voice: "Master Zhao, if you have something to do, just ask."

Yu Zishi looked at Cao Wuchen's appearance, pondered for a while, and then slowly said: "The person who came in two days ago, the Assassin of the Qin Dynasty envoy of the Yan Kingdom, Mr. Cao still has any impression?"

Cao Wuchen had a book of life and death in his mind, he was a big man who lived and died and who had a deep background, he was all well-versed, and he thought about it as soon as he heard Yu Zishi's words, "Your Excellency is talking about Jing Ke?"

"Yeah." Yu Zishi glanced at Cao Wuchen, put his hand on the corner of the table and tapped it lightly. After a while, he looked at Cao Wuchen and said, "Prince Dan of the Yan Kingdom is indeed rampant. He actually sent assassins to assassinate the King of Qin. After destroying the Yan Kingdom, His Majesty will definitely let Yan Dan blood pay the debt, Mr. Cao, don’t you think so?”

"It's natural. When the two countries have diplomatic relations, envoys become assassins and daggers are hidden on the map. This is a country's shame. The blood of Prince Dan of Yan cannot be washed away." Cao Wuchen said awe-inspiringly, and he almost patted his chest and said " Willing to be a pawn of the great Qin horse", people who don't know think that Mr. Cao can't wait to go to battle immediately to avenge the shame of the great Qin. He is really an impassioned righteous man of a country.

Yu Zishi looked at Cao Wuchen for a while, then nodded after a while and said: "This matter is really too much for Yandan, one death is not enough to calm the great Qin's outrage."

Cao Wuchen immediately said: "Your Excellency is right."

"I heard that the news of the battle came two days ago. General Wang and General Li won all the way to the capital of Dayan, beheading tens of thousands of Yan people. It is a real bloodbath for the country." Yu Zishi said slowly, knocking on the table. But his hands stopped, he raised his eyes to fix his gaze, looked at Cao Wuchen and said, "When the Son of Heaven got angry, he laid down millions of corpses and blood flowed for thousands of miles. I heard that after the First World War on the border, Yi Shui was dyed scarlet." , the corpses of soldiers and civilians of the Yan State blocked the river mouth. It was March in Yangchun, but there was no grass growing beside the Yishui River. What's more, it was said that there was a heavy snowfall in the Yan State, burying the bones of the rivers and mountains, and sending mountain ghosts away in the rain at night. The sound of weeping, the people in Jibei of the Yan Kingdom heard it and burst into tears."

Cao Wuchen secretly raised his head and glanced at Yu Zishi's expression. After staying in this position for so many years, his ability to observe words and demeanor had already been perfected. He immediately suppressed his anger, and sighed slowly: "It's also a group of poor people, the crime of the royal family of Yan, I never thought it would be a pain for them, the people of the Great Swallow."

It's a pity that this is the Warring States Period, Wuping the world, Wen ruled the world.Throughout the ages, in the prosperous and prosperous ages, which one was not a beautiful country piled up with corpses?Yu Zishi lowered his eyes and said softly: "Master Cao, how do you think this world can be stable?"

In the Spring and Autumn and Warring States period, too many people died, too many people.

Cao Wuchen saw that he came to Yeting suddenly, and for no reason, he expressed his emotion of "the rise and fall of the world" to him. For a while, he was not sure what this Master Zhao wanted to do, so he symbolically squeezed out two or three tears in his eyes. They turned around in their eye sockets, maintaining a high degree of cooperation.With that pitiful expression with reddish eyes, Yu Zishi looked at him at first glance as if he saw a righteous minister who cared about the country and the people.

"Lord Zhao." Cao Wuchen sighed and said, "This is the fault of the world, it's not something you and I can grieve."

Yu Zishi looked at Cao Wuchen who was comforting him instead, sighed softly for a while and said: "Master Cao, you said that the monarch's fault, the fault of the world, why are the innocent people who died?" He read slowly: "The morals of the world are not benevolent, and the king is not righteous. In the final analysis, it is a pity that you and I are not in charge of the world. Mr. Cao, do you think so?"

After listening to Yu Zishi's words, Cao Wuchen raised his head and looked at him, just in time to meet Yu Zishi's indifferent gaze looking at him, his heart shuddered, and then he whispered: "Your Excellency is right."

Yu Zishi didn't ask Master Cao what was wrong with his face, he continued on his own: "But who said that you and I can't do anything? You can do whatever you want, even if it's an idle person like me. An official with a false name can do what he can." He raised his eyes and glanced at Cao Wuchen.

"Since we can do what we can, naturally we should do our best." Cao Wuchen secretly heaved a sigh of relief, thinking that the long-winded and nagging Mr. Zhao went around a lot, and finally planned to talk about the main point.Whoever asks him to do things will gossip in such a circle, so how tiring he must live.

"I've been thinking about Jing Ke for the past two days. You said he was just following orders. Of course, those who are ordered by the king to be a courtier will never hesitate to die. Anyone who assassinates Qin can see that this trip is just an accident. There is no going back, but Jing Ke has no hesitation, so it seems that he is still a righteous man!" Yu Zishi spoke slowly, observing Cao Wuchen's face while speaking, seeing that there was nothing unusual on his face, he continued, " The king's order is the king's order, what is wrong and right is the king's order, as a subject, one is ordered by the king, how can the fault of the king's order be completely blamed on the person who is ordered?"

"My lord said so... what my lord said is true, it's just that," Cao Wuchen seemed a little confused: "This subject is paying for the king's fault with his life. Jing Ke assassinated Qin and sent him to death. This is also a kind of righteousness."

Yu Zishi's eyes dimmed, and then he said softly: "Jing Ke has his righteousness, and you and I also have our righteousness. As a subject, when you are not ordered by the king, it is your and my righteousness to change for the king."

Cao Wuchen seemed to be quite entangled, "The righteousness of fulfilling others is also the righteousness of our generation."

What he said was so confusing, Yu Zishi could already figure out that Cao Wuchen didn't want to get involved in this matter, and he was just pretending to be stupid with him here.After thinking for a moment, he said lightly: "You and I have two righteousness, one is to assist the emperor, and the other is to gain fame. The former is worthy of the king, and the latter is worthy of the parents of the descendants. The former is loyal, the latter is filial, both loyal and filial. This is the real righteousness. What do you think, Mr. Cao?"

Seeing Yu Zishi's emphasis on "fame and family, descendants and grandchildren" between the lines, Cao Wuchen raised his eyebrows slightly, and said after a while: "As a minister, who wouldn't want to be loyal and filial? It's just a matter of fame and blessings for future generations." It's hard, I, Cao Wuchen, who is in charge of a small Ye Court, has no virtue and incompetence, alas, I'm afraid I will have to be ashamed and filial." He said, looking up at Yu Zishi. "However, in this kind of luck, the manpower is limited. In the end, the winner wins the world. A good wind depends on its strength, and it depends on how strong the wind is. What do you think, Mr. Zhao?"

Yu Zishi looked at Cao Wuchen's innocent appearance, and sneered in his heart, this old fox was waiting for him to show him his hole cards one by one, and he almost said clearly, "I'll help you as much as you are capable".He thought for a while, then smiled naturally: "Lord Cao's words are not good, people in the world don't do everything according to their luck, if so, wouldn't they all become desperate gamblers? He looked at Cao Wuchen inscrutablely, and said very slowly: "Lord Cao, apart from fame, fortune and power, there is actually one thing in this world that can make you and my generation do something." He personally offered Cao Wuchen a glass of water, and handed it to Cao Wushang respectfully.

Cao Wuchen stretched out his hand to take it, after a long time of babbling, it seems that Master Zhao finally made an offer for himself, he asked, "What is it?"

"For example, with a great sense of righteousness."

Cao Wuchen almost spit out a mouthful of water, he tried his best to suppress his cough, and looked up at the serious Yu Zishi sitting on the seat, with a moment of disbelief in his eyes.A cavity of righteousness?Zhao Gao, are you going to award me a plaque of "loyalty and filial piety" as a condition?

Yu Zishi glanced at Cao Wuchen who was still coughing with regret, and asked with concern, "Master Cao, what's wrong with you? Are you okay?"

Cao Wuchen shook his head and wiped the water from his lips, "It's all right."

"That's good." Yu Zishi nodded and seemed relieved, and then said: "My lord, after thinking about it, I think I still have to talk to you."

"My lord, tell me." Cao Wuchen looked at Yu Zishi with a changed expression.

There was a slight smile on Yu Zishi's face, "Master Cao, I think you are mistaken. Things that can be discussed in this world may not necessarily be really negotiable. Similarly, there are some people in this world who want to discuss with you." People, I don’t really want to discuss with you. It’s a happy thing to sit on the floor and raise the price, but you and I are not people who can live a happy life. Some things, I have no choice, and you have no choice. I’m afraid you forgot This is the normal state of life, Master Cao."

Cao Wuchen's expression changed slightly, he looked at Yu Zishi and said nothing.

Yu Zishi got up, patted his shoulder lightly, leaned into his ear and said indifferently: "The four characters of loyalty and filial piety, hanging on the door, are much better than engraved on the epitaph. What do you think, Mr. Cao?" As Yu Zishi said, he patted his shoulder again, stretched out his hand and threw something in his sleeve in front of Cao Wuchen, then got up and left.

The sound of Yu Zishi's footsteps gradually faded away, but Cao Wuchen sat there for a long time, and finally, he rolled up his sleeves and stretched out his hand to slowly pick up the things Yu Zishi dropped.

After killing people for many years, Ye Ting is a place where all forces like to interfere. Cao Wuchen will inevitably have a few people who shouldn't die but died in prison for no reason.Cao Wushang slowly unfolded the thin cloth wrapped in jade bamboo slices, on which were listed a few names that impressed him deeply with cinnabar, it was indeed very impressive.

He looked at it for a while, and suddenly chuckled, Zhao Gao, the CRRC government order and Fuxi supervisor, is indeed a ruthless character.Some of the names above, I'm afraid even Ting Wei Li Si may not be able to make up all of them, right?

Zhao Gao, that seems to be such a fearless person.

After a long while, Cao Wuchen looked up at the half-approved dossier full of the names of the condemned prisoners, and reached out to pick it up.Dip the wolf hair in cinnabar, and with a slight movement of his wrist, he wrote four scarlet seal characters, straightening the Tibetan front.

"Loyalty and filial piety."

Cao Wuchen looked at it for a while, felt shameless, shook his head and smiled, he casually dropped the pen.

……

Since Jing Ke must die, it would be futile to start with the interrogator.The most sensational assassination in the history of the Warring States Period, involving two major countries among the seven heroes of the Warring States Period, involving a prince, an emperor, and a famous assassin in history. No matter who tried this matter or how it was tried, Jing Ke would be dead, nothing more than death Laws vary.That being the case, let's not start with the case.

Yu Zishi stood still under the high platform, and looked up at Gao Goutu who was playing the piano for the princesses and ladies on the stage. Since ancient times, heroes have bowed down for beauties. Neither the family nor the country.Liyang was going crazy for Gao Jianli.

Yu Zishi stepped onto the oak balcony step by step, and followed the sound to find it.He climbed up the steps and slowly saw the figure of Gao Jianli playing the piano into his eyes.A high platform with wide sleeves and a stringed piano in white clothes.

It has to be said that apart from Gao Jianli's ability to kill, he also has profound knowledge in piano art and music.

Gao Jianli had also seen Yu Zishi, greeted him silently with a smile, and plucked the string with one finger to finish it off abruptly. "Let's come here today." He turned his head and said to the noble ladies in the palace, then put away the piano, turned around and walked down the steps slowly.When he walked past Yu Zishi, he lowered his voice and said softly, "Master Zhao smells very bloody."

Yu Zishi calmly turned around and glanced at his back, without speaking.He just went to Ye Ting to meet Cao Wuchen, the place was burning with heavy incense to suppress the smell of blood, he stayed there for a while and got some smell on his clothes.Gao Jianli has a good nose.He walked down with his hands behind his back, following Gao Jianli's back.

When following the Daqin court musician into his palace, Yu Zishi unexpectedly found that he, a courtier who devoted himself to the Daqin, was not as comfortable as a court musician.To be honest, Hu Hai's palace is not as strong as Gao Jianli's palace.He took a deep look at Gao Jianli, and under Gao Jianli's gaze, he sat down opposite him.

"Come on, Mr. Zhao, what do you want from me?" Gao Jianli asked casually while wiping the piano.

Yu Zishi looked at Gao Jianli's leisurely look, his eyes moved slightly.In fact, he wasn't sure what Gao Jianli was thinking, but, if he didn't try, how would he know what the other party was thinking all day long?He took a deep look at Gao Jianli, and said slowly after a long while: "The life is quite comfortable, isn't it?"

Gao Jianli is a dog killer, he doesn't have the bureaucratic habits of Yu Zishi, so he just said indifferently, "Speak frankly, my life is not something you should worry about, Mr. Zhao."

Yu Zishi was noncommittal, but in fact Gao Jianli had to worry about it ignorantly, there was a young swordsman hiding in the palace, so maybe something would happen someday.Thinking of him, he glanced lightly at Gao Jianli, and said calmly, "Are you interested in going back to your old job?"

Gao Jian left his hands for a moment, raised his eyes to look at Yu Zishi, "You mean killing dogs?"

Yu Zishi was silent for a moment, and corrected indifferently: "Kill."

Gao Jianli seemed a little surprised, looking at Yu Zishi with slightly surprised eyes, "Master Zhao, aren't you a good person?"

Yu Zishi smiled indifferently: "I'm afraid there may be some misunderstanding between you and me." He said this with a calm face, there was nothing unnatural at all, and it sounded a little sincere at first glance.

Gao Jianli stroked the qin and looked at Yu Zishi's gaze, which was a bit unpredictable. After thinking for a while, he looked at Yu Zishi's gaze, nodded slightly, then lowered his head to wipe the qin again, and said casually: "As long as you Just pay if you can afford it." After thinking for a while, he emphasized again, "It's very expensive to ask me to kill someone." Those eyes clearly showed deep doubts about Yu Zishi's financial resources.

"How expensive is it?" Yu Zishi asked with a mentality of "I'm here anyway, bargaining is also a kind of fun".

Gao Jianli obviously felt the meaning of bargaining between the lines of Yu Zishi, and he looked at Yu Zishi meaningfully, "It's not too expensive, if you really can't afford it, you can use your hands and feet to pay off the debt. Businessmen's business, everything We can discuss it again.”

Yu Zishi looked at the No. [-] swordsman in Jiangbei who lost money, and asked curiously: "Master Gao Le, let me ask you something. Last time you said you wanted to kill me, but you didn't do anything after taking other people's money." Son, how do you think about this as a businessman?"

"I tried to kill you, but it didn't work. As for the money, Mr. Zhao, that money bought your life, not mine. Why should I take my life to kill you for the reward? Jianghu bought me The price offered by the person whose head is on the head is much higher than the price for your life. If they really want me to try my best to kill you, they will at least have to pay me another big sum of money and buy my life."

Yu Zishi fell into silence, Gao Goutu's idea was really out of the ordinary, he couldn't get around it for a while.After a while, he asked, "Since we have already talked about money, let me ask you by the way, have you seen the person who saved me that day?"

Gao Jianli was obviously even more surprised. He looked at Yu Zishi for a while, and couldn't help laughing slightly, "Master Zhao, you are really interesting." He has lived in the palace for so long, so he has met Hu Hai, and he is naturally Know the relationship between Hu Hai and Yu Zishi.It seems that everyone in Qin Palace lives in a secretive way, which is really tiring.

"Master Zhao." Gao Jianli said with a smile, "It's just a stranger. Master Zhao, it's just a stranger you don't know at all, and you wouldn't want to know about it even if you thought about it."

Seeing that he didn't tell him his plan, Yu Zishi didn't insist on asking.He asked, "How much do you charge to kill a person?"

"Separate people." Gao Jianli smiled and frowned. "However, Mr. Zhao may not be able to pay the price for killing someone who is too expensive."

Yu Zishi felt that Gao Jianli's words were indeed flattering him, and at most he would kill a dog if he put all his belongings in front of Gao Jianli.He asked, "What about saving lives?"

Hearing Yu Zishi's words, Gao Jianli frowned slightly, he raised his eyes to look at Yu Zishi, and seeing that he was not joking, he raised his eyebrows and said, "I'm not saving people."

"Try it, maybe there are more ways to get rich." Yu Zishi casually leaned on the table, looked at Gao Jianli and said with a smile.

Gao Jianli thought for a long time under Yu Zishi's gaze, and finally nodded his head very lightly, as if very casually.He said lightly: "Try."

Yu Zishi's eyes lit up slightly, and he said after a while, "However, I may not be able to afford too high a price."

Gao Jianli looked at Yu Zishi, and said indifferently, "Your hand looks pretty."
