The Laity of the Legend of Double Dragons in the Tang Dynasty

Xiao Shi asked suspiciously, "Aren't you wearing a skirt?"

"No." Yuwen Chengrui said confidently, "Wait for me here!"

Xiao Shi waited for half an hour for Yuwen Chengrui to come back. When he came back, he had changed into a robe with a large lapel and two fronts. The robe was light blue with narrow sleeves, and the length only reached his knees. Underneath were trousers and boots. Yuwen Chengrui was originally tall and handsome, but such a simple and neat dress made him look even more heroic.

"What kind of clothes is this? It's weird, but it's pretty."

Yuwen Chengrui smiled happily: "Just look good. This is Hu Fu. No, it's yours."

Xiao Shi took it: "Isn't it a skirt?"

Yuwen Chengrui saw that he was constantly entangled in the skirt, and he couldn't help laughing: "It's not a skirt. Hu people don't wear skirts, they wear robes for both men and women, and children's clothes are even gender-neutral. Yours is similar to mine. I'm not wearing a skirt, am I?"

Xiao Shi was happy: "I'll change it!"

...This is the dividing line between Yuwenhua and inspection...

Yu Wenhuaji knew what their plans were after seeing Yuwen Chengrui's attire, but he also knew that Xiao Shi would never wear a skirt honestly, so he was not disappointed, but looked behind Yuwen Chengrui with a bit of expectation , Youyou said: "Have you changed?"

Yuwen Chengrui pulled Xiao Shi out from behind: "Here."

Yu Wenhuaji's eyes lit up, and Xiao Shi turned sideways awkwardly, only to see that he was dressed in a white Hu suit, and the close-fitting clothing outlined his petite figure.The long hair was combed into two bags on the top of the head and then hung down. Against the backdrop of the white clothes, it looked as if it was dyed with ink. It flowed docilely over the graceful shoulders, over the slender waist like a willow, and sprinkled on the small and plump buttocks.Yu Wenhua took a tight breath, cursed himself as a beast, and looked up at his face.Xiao Shi's face was full of displeasure, and he turned to look out of the window. Yu Wenhuaji could only see the graceful lines like mountains and rivers, his slender and dense eyelashes fluttering like butterfly wings, and his soft mouth pouting dissatisfiedly.Compared with Yu Wenhua and the usual finely crafted beauties, Xiao Shichun's natural lip color is a little lighter, light pink, but soft and moist, with a charming water color...

Yu Wenhuaji hurriedly turned his eyes away, and gave a small smile under cover: "Ha! What a little beauty!"

Xiao Shi was furious as expected: "Who are you calling a woman!"

To be honest, Xiao Shi's attire is suitable for both men and women, no matter the clothes or hair accessories. If someone who has seen him will never mistake him for a woman, but if a stranger sees him, he will be ashamed of that beautiful little face. She wouldn't think of him as a boy.Although it was originally intended to be indistinguishable between men and women, Xiao Shi was still very angry when the person he recognized said it was a girl.

He was about to pounce on him immediately, but was grabbed back by Yuwen Chengrui, who was quick-eyed and quick-handed: "Don't be impulsive, Xiao Shi, calm down!"

Yu Wenhuaji frowned on purpose: "Huh? Don't you look like a woman?"

Xiao Shi was at a loss for words for a moment, and it would be absolutely impossible for him to admit that he looked like a woman, but if he didn't answer, then the old fox would think that his disguise was not good enough, and forcing him to change his skirt before he was allowed to go out would not be worth the loss.Immediately, he became furious, and Yu Wenhuaji was caught and couldn't beat Yu Wenhuaji, so Yuwen Chengrui suffered a lot. He was punched and kicked by him a lot. Urgently: "Father, father, please don't say a few words!"

Suddenly feeling that the person in his arms was not moving, Yu Wenhuaji also looked at him strangely.

He froze for a moment, and when he subconsciously felt that something was wrong, Xiao Shi had already stomped down fiercely: "You big liar!"

"Aw!" Yuwen Chengrui screamed in pain, but he didn't dare to let go to hug his painful foot, he held Xiao Shi tightly and begged for mercy: "Xiao Shi, don't be angry, Dad forced me to lie to him, I have no choice ..."

Seeing his son betraying him fiercely right in front of his eyes, Yu Wenhuaji snorted coldly and said, "Ruier, your sister Linger hardly ever gets to Yangzhou, take her around, remember to bring him back before dark , girls can't go outside..."

He took one sister and one girl, and Xiao Shi shouted angrily: "Yu Wenhuaji!"

Yu Wenhuaji laughed loudly: "I want to call you Daddy!"

"Father, you big-headed ghost!" Xiao Shi touched something and smashed it.

Seeing that he was so angry that he lost his accuracy, Yu Wenhuaji laughed, but with a bang, the Duan inkstone on the seat was smashed to pieces, and the ink splashed everywhere, staining the documents on it. The mutton fat jade pendant on his waist was split in two and soaked in ink, he couldn't help being furious: "Xiao Shi! This is an imperial decree!"

Xiao Shi proudly made a grimace: "It's your imperial decree!"

"Let's go, let's go shopping!" Yuwen Chengrui hurriedly took Xiao Shi away before their war escalated.

……

Xiao Shi was very excited to see the long-lost streets and alleys of Yangzhou. He wandered aimlessly for a while, but he always felt that something was wrong. The street was the same street, the trees were the same trees, even the stones under the trees were the same as before They are exactly the same, but Xiao Shi just has a sense of disobedience.

After thinking hard for a while, I finally thought: "Brother Cheng Rui, I remember that there are many beggars, buskers, and storytellers on this street. Why are none of them missing?"

Yuwen Chengrui frowned slightly, and said: "I'll tell you when I get back, it's rare to come out once, so don't mention this."

"No, I want to know." Xiao Shi's curiosity arose. Those who make a living on the street are the lowest level people. Where will they live after leaving here?

Yuwen Chengrui glanced at him, and said in a solemn tone: "I didn't want you to know this, two months ago, the Holy Majesty took Concubine Xiao to the streets to play, and a little beggar hid a bit slower to show the Holy Majesty to see. The Holy Majesty was furious, thinking it was an eyesore, and said that they were not engaged in production, wasting food, and ordered that all the beggars in Yangzhou City... be executed."

Xiao Shi's whole body stiffened immediately, and he said in disbelief, "...execution?"

A few months ago, he was also one of these beggars. Among them, some fought with him, and some fought for him. Among them, some robbed his buns, and some were robbed by him. After passing through Momo, they were kicked out by the officials together, and they were bullied and beaten by street punks together. When he was hungry, someone gave him a share of what he begged for. Come to share the delicious food with everyone...but now...they are all dead...just like that...dead?

Xiao Shi felt cold all over his body. In the streets of Yangzhou, one by one was more pitiful during the day, pretending to be like a dead dog, and at night they were all ferocious, fighting for the beggars like vicious dogs, just like that... gone.

Obscure?Obscure!What a ridiculous reason!He died for such a ridiculous reason!

Everyone works so hard to live, so hard to live!Did not starve to death, did not freeze to death, was not beaten to death, and was not bitten to death by vicious dogs!In the end, they all died because they were unsightly... Such a thing is really... too ridiculous...

"Why is it like this?" Xiao Shi looked at Yuwen Chengrui blankly, unaware that his face was full of tears: "Why is it like this?"

Yuwen Chengrui silently wiped away his tears, speechless, and sighed after a long time: "He is the emperor!"

"What is he? What is he!" Xiao Shi shook his head and said in a voiceless voice: "The Eastern Conquest to Korea, three battles and three defeats, he took the athletes of our Han family, but he never brought back their bodies. He exhausted all the extravagance, Forcibly conscripting civilian husbands, how many people's bones were buried in the Grand Canal, how many people were orphaned by him, how many people could only beg for a living, even so, he still can't tolerate it! Who does he think he is? Why should he !"

His anger is not because of himself, but because of Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling, they are all orphans in the war, some of their parents died fighting for Yang Guang, some of them built canals for him, and some died because of excessive miscellaneous taxes , died of inability to heal after illness... They died because of Yang Guang, but Yang Guang couldn't even tolerate the orphans they left behind!In the world, how could such a thing happen? !

Yuwen Chengrui saw that his voice was getting louder, and someone was already looking sideways. He quickly covered his mouth, and comforted him in a low voice: "They didn't really all die. My father is the general manager of Yangzhou. Although my father pretended to be injured at home, But they didn’t let go of power, at that time they ordered to publicize the order of the Holy Majesty, and ordered the officers and soldiers to arrest them, and drove them out for a few days, only to drive them out of Yangzhou City, and beheaded hundreds of death row prisoners.”

Xiao Shi knew very well that those beggars did not shed tears when they saw the coffin, so how dare they believe what he said?How could it be possible for them to leave Yangzhou just by beating and driving them away?How could they leave without seeing the dripping blood and killing them?

Xiao Shi wiped away tears and asked, "How many did you kill?"

Yuwen Chengrui said bitterly: "Father, he can't do anything about it, His Majesty has issued a decree..."

Xiao Shi interrupted him and said, "What about the death row prisoners? I remember that there are not hundreds of death row prisoners in Yangzhou city every year."

"It's a deserter." Yuwen Chengrui smiled wryly: "Right now, rebels are everywhere, and people are in panic. Those soldiers also have parents and relatives... If you really don't feel relieved, just..."

"So, you are going to die?"

Yuwen Chengrui shook his head and sighed, still smiling wryly: "Xiao Shi, you don't understand, deserters are no more than refugees, they have to be killed."

Xiao Shi fell silent, striding ahead, Yuwen Chengrui felt sad, racked his brains to divert his attention, but couldn't think of it.

After walking half a street, Xiao Shi stopped, pulled his sleeves, looked at him with a small face and said, "Come on, let's eat Quanfuju's ducks now! Buy two and eat one. Feed one to the dog! Ha! When you see Brother Zhong, tell him that I will fulfill his wish for him first!"

Seeing the smile on Xiao Shi's face, he seemed to have completely forgotten about the matter just now. Although Yuwen Chengrui was worried, he would not be stupid to bring it up again, and said with a smile, "Okay, little ones! Lead the way!"

Xiao Shi laughed and said, "Decree!"

Really lead the way.

"May I take you to see Mrs. Zhen first?" Xiao Shi turned his back and walked backwards facing Yuwen Chengrui. He could walk this street with his eyes closed.

"Who is Mrs. Zhen?" Looking at Xiao Shi's cheerful figure, Yu Wencheng asked with a smile.

"Among the food stalls in the south gate, Lao Feng's vegetable and meat buns are the most famous. Sister-in-law Zhen is Lao Feng's concubine, who specializes in selling buns, and has the softest heart. We didn't ask her to take credit when we were eating. , I can get it in all likelihood, well, if it wasn’t for her, I don’t know how many times I would have starved to death! I don’t have a mother, but in my heart, she is just like my mother, beautiful and kind-hearted!”
