A prostitute in a brothel is like duckweed on the water. When the officials, gentry and celebrities praise you, they can praise you as the laurel of the toad palace. You are unattainable. If they want to punish you, your status is not as good as that of a commoner.
】But such a woman dared to pour wine on so many officials, and the Duke of Guo, who looked up to her, was shocked for a while!
Xia Xun reacted very quickly. As soon as Miss Xi Si moved her wrist, he noticed something was wrong, but he sat there very calmly and did not move at all. He just closed his eyes quickly, so..., a drop
The wine didn't splash into my eyes.
The wine splashed on Xia Xun's face and slowly trickled down his cheeks. Everyone in the entire banquet hall was stunned, not to mention the officials and gentry, even the servants who served the wine and the dishes.
Everyone was stunned. The musicians in the two compartments stretched their necks and tried their best to go out. Among them, there was an old man playing the piano who just lowered his head and was intoxicated by the sound of his own music. He had no idea what was going on. He was so anxious at this time.
Like something, he kept pulling the person next to him and asked in a low voice: "Man, what's going on? Man, what's going on?"
Magistrate Chang's face turned blue at that time. He held up his bruised face and tried not to jump up. He just slapped the table and said with a ferocious smile: "Miss Xi Si, you dare to talk nonsense."
He slanders the imperial officials! He also drinks wine on the Duke of the country, and the following offends the superiors. Don’t you know the king’s law?”
Miss Xi Si glanced at him with disdain, raised her head arrogantly, and said calmly: "The magistrate is so angry and corrupt, could you be the cannibal?"
Chang Yinglin was in a state of embarrassment and yelled angrily and angrily: "You are bold and unruly, deceiving the public with your evil words, and slandering the imperial officials! Come here, drag her out! Drag her out, and drag her out..."
Xia Xun, who was sitting there steadily, took out a handkerchief from his sleeve and wiped his cheeks gracefully, as if he had just cleansed and washed his face. After wiping his face, Magistrate Chang had just come down.
After finishing the order, Xia Xun said slowly and calmly: "Master Futai, why should you be anxious? It's better to guard against the people's mouth than to guard against the river! If you don't ask her to express her heartfelt feelings, it seems that Huzhou Prefecture has really done something outrageous, and spread the word
It’s so beautiful to go out!”
On the side, Yu Shi had been watching Xia Xun's reaction closely. When he heard his tone, he immediately understood. If you want to be an official, you want to be a successful official. Without this kind of vision, what can you do? Not to mention that all of them
They are all human beings, and they are all good at figuring out the superior's intentions. Yu Shi immediately coughed and said in an upright manner: "I, Yu Shiji, the imperial envoy of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, have been ordered to inspect the disaster area and investigate injustices. Xi Jinping
Miss Si, if you have any grievances, you can express your grievances to me, but I always keep my ugly words in my mind. It is the people who sue the officials. If the complaint is untrue, the penalty will be increased!"
"Sue the official? I didn't sue the official!"
Miss Xi Si's words made the whole hall stunned again. You didn't sue the official, but you said such words and drunkenly drunk the Duke. Are you crazy?
Xi Si raised her face. Her face was as complex as jade and as tender as egg white. When illuminated by the light, it was reflected as if it were transparent. It was really endearing, but her eyes were filled with tears: "Little woman
I am neither a victim of suffering nor have I ever been wronged. The floods in Huzhou have caused countless people to lose their homes, but they can still practice silk and wear fine clothes and food. They go in and out of wealthy families, sing and dance, dream about death and drunkenness, what injustice can be said?"
She suddenly lowered her head, glanced at the faces of Xia Xun and other court officials with cold and sharp eyes, gritted her teeth and said, "Xi Si feels unfair just because of what she saw and heard.
"
Xia Xun, as if he had just splashed someone else, smiled calmly and said: "Okay! If there is no injustice, then cry out. I believe that for Yu Shi, this is more enjoyable than singing and dancing."
Miss Xi Si was used to seeing the faces of corrupt officials, so her temperament was naturally a little extreme. In addition, due to the rumors spread by Magistrate Chang that he had a relationship with Duke Fu, she had already identified Xia Xun as a corrupt official.
At this time, I heard him keep insisting on grabbing Yu Shi and pushing all the accountability matters to him. I even thought that he was preparing an escape route to cover up the Governor Chang, and I felt even more hateful.
She glanced at Xia Xun coldly and said: "My ancestor Xisi has been farming for generations, and he is also a kind family. Eleven years ago, there was also a flood here. Because of that flood, my family was destroyed."
...No more! I was only seven years old that year, and I was sold into a brothel by my father in tears, but I didn’t hate him, and he couldn’t help it..."
When Miss Xi Si said this, she shed two lines of clear tears and choked with sobs: "In order not to affect his future through political performance evaluation, that dog official first concealed the disaster and refused to report it, and then imposed excessive taxes in order to complete the tasks of the year as usual.
Autumn tax collection, natural disasters have never killed so many people, but this man-made disaster..., my parents and family survived the flood, but failed to survive this disaster, and finally..."
Miss Xi Si suddenly turned to Chang Yinglin, pointed her halberd and shouted: "I hate this day, and I hate such a cowardly official even more, but you, Chang Yinglin, a corrupt official, have a darker heart than that cowardly official! For the sake of political achievements, he flattered
Bullying those above and below, at least the money soaked in the blood and tears of the people did not go into his personal pocket! What about you? Not only do you covet public food, but you also covet the food donated by the city gentry to the victims!
You sealed the city gates and watched as the people had no way to seek help and left their homes. You watched as countless orphans and widowers were desperate and threw themselves into rivers. You colluded with those unscrupulous profiteers and took advantage of this natural disaster to force countless children to sell themselves at a low price.
Your domestic slave! How many daughters of good families have been forced to cowardly become your playthings! You cannibal officials!"
The hall was silent, and Xia Xun said with a solemn face: "Prefect Chang, is what this girl said true?"
Chang Yinglin stood up in a hurry and said: "She is talking nonsense! Lord, please don't listen to her nonsense. This... someone must have bribed this lowly maid and used this opportunity to falsely accuse this official in front of the Duke.
Officials who govern local areas without fear of power have indeed offended some people. This must be the treacherous plot of those people. If the Duke of the country does not believe it, you can ask the gentry and officials present..."
Most of the officials and gentry in the hall just came to eat with them. At present, the attitude of Duke Fu was unclear. Who dared to talk nonsense? Only Chu Meng and a group of officials and gentry who had colluded with Chang Yinglin nodded repeatedly and said loudly: "Yes, yes."
Ah! Mr. Futai loves the people like his own son, provides disaster relief and cares for the people, works hard at night and day, works hard, and works tirelessly. You can't find such a blue sky even with a lantern..."
The Yusi girl laughed loudly and said with tears in her eyes: "Love the people like a son? What a man who loves the people like a son! Even if Chang Yinglin treats us ordinary people like livestock, as long as he eats our flesh and blood and eats it with satisfaction
When Jinya was young, if he could even think about building a shed for us animals and feeding him some fodder, we would burn incense for him!"
The sound of injustice was filled with the sound of gold and iron. Xia Xun's expression became serious and he said in a deep voice: "Miss Xi Si publicly accused the Huzhou magistrate of corruption and perversion of the law and misappropriation of public food. Facing the floods in Huzhou, as a parent, she refused to open her eyes.
The city also refused to provide relief, forcing countless refugees to flee to other places or drown themselves in rivers. If any of this is true, it is a sin of beheading!"
Chang Yinglin's face turned pale and he hurriedly said: "My lord..."
Xia Xun turned around and said: "But my official came all the way and saw that the disaster relief was in good order. The victims outside the city had places to stay, clothes to wear, and food to eat. This is what I saw with my own eyes and what I saw with Miss Xi Si."
The words are very different!"
Chang Yinglin turned from surprise to joy and quickly echoed: "The Duke is wise! The Duke is wise! This must be a trick and slander given by a traitor!"
Miss Xi Si had not expected that these officials would protect each other, so she was not surprised by Xia Xun's words. However, the misery of the refugees outside Huzhou City was vividly in her mind, and when she thought about her own sad past, how could she force a smile on her face?
, to please these dog officials? Although she is just a brothel girl, her appearance is entertaining, and she is generous, and in the eyes of those dignitaries, she can do whatever she wants, but she also has her own dignity and persistence!
She refused to come, but the mother and the stewards in the courtyard refused to agree. Don't forget that the red girl in the courtyard is very grand in front of outsiders. If you don't spend enough money, you won't be able to see her. When you meet, you will spend a lot of money.
It's normal to just have a cup of tea with you, try some snacks, and say a few words. If you really spend a lot of money, you have to make the girl unhappy. Otherwise, if you want to be a guest, they won't agree.
.
But this kind of airs and ostentation is what the old madam in the yard taught them since they were young. It is to seduce your appetite and make you pay more money. Some men pretend to be taken advantage of and spend money like water, but other girls just can't.
If you are willing to accompany you, you will be worthy. It will make the man who can spend the whole night feel superior and come to support you next time.
But once it comes to the major issue of the safety of the brothel, it's not your turn to express your opinion at all. You have to do whatever you are told. If you are asked to play pig and dog, you have to go. If you dare not listen, there are plenty of people in the yard.
There are countless ways to treat it so that you can neither survive nor die, and there are countless ways to completely destroy your dignity as a human being.
So Miss Xi Si didn't dare not come, but she didn't want to go against her will to please these dog officials who devour the people's wealth and treat the people as inferior. When she said these words today, she risked her own life, even if it was these
The officials didn't kill her on the spot, and she didn't want to go back to the brothel alive. The old madam wouldn't spare her. There might be some vicious methods waiting for her this time.
Hearing Xia Xun's words, Miss Xi Si smiled sadly and took out the jade hairpin from her bun. She was dressed in white and her whole body was spotless. She only had this hairpin. When she pulled out the hairpin, her hair was like a waterfall.
As it fell, Xi Si held the hairpin and said with a sad smile: "Xi Si did not expect that these words could redress the grievances of the people of Huzhou! All the officials and gentlemen were drinking and drinking, and they were in high spirits. The little girl is here to help you.
Let’s have some luck!”
She raised her neck, and the hairpin pierced her throat. Xia Yuanji and Yu Shiji exclaimed in unison: "Girl, no!"
Xia Xun flicked his fingers, and the wine glass in his hand suddenly disappeared. As soon as the hairpin in Miss Xi Si's hand touched her throat, she felt her raised elbow go numb. With all her strength, she let out an exclamation, and the hairpin fell down...
