Little Bell closed the door and turned around. The smile on her face was gone, replaced by a look of disdain. She muttered, "Pfft, a toad lusting after a swan?
Why don't you take a piss and look at yourself! "
Little Bell walked up to the second floor and pushed the door open. She saw Liu Sumei leaning on the railing, staring at the street outside the window, her brows furrowed.
Liu Sumei said, "Little Bell, you're becoming more and more like someone from this brothel."
Little Bell smiled cheekily, "Thank you for the compliment, Senior Sister. Same to you!"
Liu Sumei smiled but did not say anything. She stared at Chu Yun who was walking away and suddenly asked, "Who was that scholar standing outside just now?"
Little Bell was taken aback. "Scholar?
What scholar? "
Liu Sumei lifted her chin slightly and gestured with her eyes, "The one standing outside just now. Didn't you see him when you went out?"
Little Bell pouted and said, "Every day, there are at least eighty scholars drooling in front of our Falling Plum Residence. How can I see all of them?"
Liu Sumei smiled and glanced at her, "You're becoming more and more like someone from this brothel."
Little Bell saw that Liu Sumei was serious this time. She was so shocked that she held her face, "Senior Sister?
I … I've become so vulgar? "
Liu Sumei shook her head, "There are also elegant people in the brothel. Whether it's the capital's number one prostitute, Beauty Yu, or Jiangnan's number one prostitute, Pan Xiantao, they are all elegant people. Their talents are not below any of the famous scholars. Even the deceased Lady Zhixi was a virtuous and virtuous woman."
Little Bell did not understand, "Then what are the people in this brothel like?"
Liu Sumei sighed, "Snobbish!
Extremely snobbish!
Following the red to the white, stepping on the weak to the strong!
We've only ever seen the icing on the cake. When have we ever seen help in the hour of need? "
Little Bell said, "Wow, am I that vulgar now?"
Liu Sumei smiled and said, "Go and pick up the letter that the scholar tore up."
Little Bell was stunned, "Senior Apprentice-Sister, it's fine that you're interested in a broken warrior, but now you're not even letting go of the letter written by this broken scholar?"
Liu Sumei glared at her. "I told you to go, so go."
Little Bell snorted and turned to leave. When she reached the door, she turned her head and made a face. Liu Sumei laughed and scolded, "If you keep talking, I'll go back to your mountain."
Little Bell opened the door and was about to refute when she saw a servant girl coming in with a charcoal basin to change the fire. Little Bell's expression changed, and she said with a smile, "Yes, Miss!"
After saying that, she turned around and went downstairs, muttering, "Hmph, Senior Sister has become a Miss, and she's still acting like a tyrant!
He actually ordered me to pick up a broken scholar's letter!
Hmph!
Is everyone here dead? You want me to go? "
She walked out of the door and picked up the torn letter with two fingers with a look of disgust. Then, she took it far away from her and went back into the house.
As soon as she entered the house and closed the door, before Little Bell could throw it down, Liu Sumei said, "Put it back together."
Liu Sumei was shocked, "Me?
Senior Sister, this is a bit too much. You want me to do it? "
Liu Sumei looked at her, confused, and said, "You want me to do it?
I don't trust anyone else! "
Little Bell was speechless. She swallowed her anger and pouted her lips so much that one could hang an oil can on it. She reluctantly put the torn letter back together. When she saw it, she gasped and said, "Senior Sister, come and see!"
Liu Sumei walked forward and took a look. She frowned and said, "Hurry up and chase after the scholar and bring him back!"
Little Bell pouted and said, "Me again!
It's fine if you order me around, but now this broken warrior can order me around too! "
Liu Sumei immediately walked out and said, "If you're not going, I'll go!"
Little Bell quickly stopped her, "I'll go, I'll go alright!"
Little Bell floated out of the door. About a quarter of an hour later, she returned dejectedly. As soon as she entered the door, she said in annoyance, "This broken-down scholar. He looked like he was limping when he left. How could he walk so fast?"
Liu Sumei said in a low voice, "Quick, look around the inns in the city!
It's getting late, he must not have left Cheng 'an City. "
Little Bell sighed, "I've had a hard life!"
…
The night deepened. Cheng 'an City, in room B7 of the Four Seas Inn, Chu Yun was furiously writing. His expression was one of anger as he wrote.
"My brother of Datong, words are like my face!
It's been more than twenty years since we parted ways in the capital!
My memory of your voice, your smile, your magnanimity, your passion, your talent, is still fresh in my mind.
When the results were released, you were at the top of the list. I was at the bottom of the list and almost lost my place. "
"Now that you're at the top of the court and the emperor's tutor, I'm far away in Tong 'an. I'm not worthy of being the registrar.
I've secretly heard that a phoenix chick does not live with a sparrow, and a fierce tiger does not share the same cave.
It's hard for the two of us to meet in this life, just like a phoenix chick, a sparrow, or a fierce tiger.
But today, there's something I'd like to do, and I'd like to entrust my life to you!
This righteousness is not the petty righteousness of flies and dogs, nor is it the interest of the bustling crowd. This righteousness is the righteousness of the country, the righteousness of the people! "
"Today, Tong 'an is in a tragic situation. The Spirited Mountain cultivator, Qian Shanxue, for the sake of his sect's interests, for his own selfish desires, brazenly cast a spell. The entire Zhou family, more than a thousand people, all perished in the sea of fire!
But the people of Tong 'an City were shocked. Hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians fled as if they'd encountered an avalanche!
The officials in the city were in chaos and all fled. Without a leader, the army was routed!
The rebellious army and evil people in the city burned, killed, and looted. They committed all sorts of crimes, including raping women. It's hard to describe their evil deeds! "
"It's sad that Tong 'an City, an important city in the north, has turned into a wasteland!
Hundreds of thousands of prosperous people were burned, the lights of tens of thousands of families were destroyed in a day!
But Tong 'an's Governor Xu Tao encountered this disaster. He didn't think of advancing with the army, nor did he think of retreating with the people. He didn't think of providing disaster relief, only thinking of protecting himself. He wanted to turn the disaster into an auspicious sign, trying to deceive the Emperor and deceive the Emperor!
Alas, such a lunatic. I haven't seen him for a hundred years, and such a tragic case of injustice is unheard of! "
"I didn't want to be in cahoots with him, but I was intercepted by his commander!
Fortunately, I met a righteous man and was saved from being silenced. Otherwise, my bones would be cold!
Everyone has to die, it could be as light as a goose feather, or as heavy as Mount Tai!
My death is a small matter, but the Emperor's deceit is a big matter, and the people's grievances are a big matter! "
"Today, Da Qi seems to be peaceful and prosperous, but it's like adding oil to the fire, danger lurks everywhere!
Looking at the temple, the world knows the Imperial Advisor, but not the Emperor!
Looking at the court, the ignorant people know the cultivators, but not the officials!
However, the government is corrupt, and all officials are corrupt. Officials protect each other, and collude with each other!
Cultivators are like maggots biting the bones!
The taxes of the government are like Mount Tai.
Cultivators and sects bully the big officials, and the big officials squeeze the common people and villagers. If this goes on, the people will be angry, and the country will no longer be a country, and Da Qi will be in danger! "
"Brother, you are in a high position. You are the leader of the scholars, noble and righteous, and the Crown Prince, heroic.
Hearing about this bloody case, I should speak up for the common people, and stand up for justice!
I'm not talented, and I'm weeping blood as I write this. I hope that brother can report this to the Emperor, so that I can rest in peace! "
Chu Yun wrote passionately, his eyes brimming with tears. Just as he was overwhelmed with emotion, he suddenly heard a series of knocks on the door.
