Chapter 5: A Labyrinth in a Labyrinth (Part II)
Li You was let into the cabin, and when he saw the arrangement in front of him, he couldn't help but be stunned.
The cabins are luxuriously furnished.
The floor is covered with a carpet of cotton wool embroidered with blooming peonies; There are sumptuous wine and dishes on the table, and there are all kinds of delicacies from the mountains and seas; On both sides of the table, there were two beautiful women dressed in light gauze, looking at Li You with affection.
This is clearly a beauty trick!
Li You couldn't help frowning and looked at Yao Buwei coldly.
"Yao Yuanwai, what are you doing here?"
"Adults are angry, adults are angry, I'm afraid you're thinking too much." Yao Buwei was angry when he saw Li You, and hurriedly walked to Li You's side. "Daughters, haven't come here to see adults."
When the two girls heard this, they immediately stood up and bowed down to Li You. "I've seen adults."
When Li You heard that Yao Buwei called his second daughter his daughter, he immediately felt a little uncomfortable, could it be that he had misunderstood? "Yao Yuanwai, who are these two?"
"Come, come, I'll introduce you. This is the county order of our county, Lord Li Youli. These are my two daughters, the eldest daughter Yao Lan and the younger daughter Yao Jin. ”
"Hello, Lord Li." The second daughter bowed to Li You again, and Li You hurriedly returned the salute. "I didn't know that the two girls were in the cabin, and the lower official broke in rashly and abruptly assaulted the two girls, please forgive me."
"Your Excellency, you are serious." Yao Lan smiled like a peach blossom and her voice was like a yellow bird, and Li You couldn't help but be stunned when she heard it.
Li You is already twenty-two years old, although he is a member of the royal family, but his family is poor, and he was assigned to this remote area as a county commander, and he has not been able to marry, so he has no opportunity to contact young women. Now seeing two such delicate young girls, my heart is moved, and it is also human nature.
"Huh, sir?" Yao Lan couldn't help but laugh when she saw Li You looking at her stupidly.
"Uh, rude, rude." Li You realized his embarrassment at this time, and hurriedly hugged his fists to apologize.
"Haha, come, come, sit down." Yao Buwei saw that Li You's face was flushed, and hurriedly spoke out to help him break the siege. "Lan Lan, Sumire, aren't you always talking about admiring Lord Li's knowledge, and now that my father has finally invited you to it, I don't invite Lord Li to take a seat."
"Master Li, please!" The two daughters separated left and right, making way for Li You. Li You hesitated again and again, although he felt that something was wrong, but after all, he was at the age when his love was beginning to open, and he was somewhat yearning in his heart.
"Hey, my lord, listen to the little old man." Yao Buwei saw that Li You was worried, and immediately sighed. "My two daughters, one is fourteen years old and the other is fifteen, although the old saying goes, a woman is virtuous if she is not talented, but both of them are good at reading, I feel sorry for them, so I naturally don't want to stop them." Yao Buwei said this, and looked at the second daughter lovingly. The second daughter immediately gave Yao Buwei a grateful look.
However, without the guidance of the teacher, the two of them studied hard and often ended up with little understanding. The two often wept over this. However, after all, the second daughter is still young, and if she encounters a teacher with bad intentions, then my little old man will hurt them. Speaking of this, Yao Buwei immediately looked at Li You sincerely. Therefore, I don't do anything for him today, I just hope that Master Li can occasionally come to the cold house and personally teach the second daughter to solve his doubts, and the little old man will be content. ”
Hearing this, Li You's heart was full of guilt. People come to study, and they think crookedly. Hey, it doesn't seem to be clean, it's none other than you, Li You yourself.
So, Li You immediately saluted Yao Buwei with a fist. "Thanks to Yao Yuan's appearance, the lower officials will not live up to your trust."
"Daughters, hear me, Master Li agreed! Why don't you sit down? Yao Buwei's face immediately showed joy, and the second daughter also supported Li You left and right and sat at the table.
After Li You sat down, Yao Buwei glanced at the second daughter, and the two daughters immediately stood side by side in front of Li You and bowed down to Li You.
"Yao Lan, I've seen sir."
"Yao Jin, I've seen Mr."
"Hurry up, get up." Li You hurriedly stood up and helped the second daughter up. The second daughter didn't know whether it was unintentional or intentional, her hands were on Li You's arms, and she looked at Li You with affection. Li You only felt that the four palms on his arms were warm and delicate, like mutton fat jade, and he couldn't help but feel hot all over his body.
"Haha, then this matter is settled." Seeing this scene, Yao immediately burst out laughing. "Come, come, sit, sit."
Li You sat back in his seat with the support of the second daughter, and the second daughter also sat on his left and right naturally.
Yao Buwei picked up the wine glass and poured wine for Li You, the second daughter and himself. "Come, let's drink this cup together to thank Master Li for his kindness." Yao Buwei finished speaking, he did it first as a respect, and Li You and the second daughter also did it.
"Come, my lord, the little girl will fill it up for you." Yao Lan finished drinking her own wine, picked up the wine jug, and poured it for Li You again. Li You looked at the posture of the second daughter drinking and Yao Lan's posture of pouring wine, and couldn't help muttering in his heart. Could it be that in normal times, these two underage women often drink and talk happily?
"Sumire, didn't you encounter some problems when you read the Analects the other day? Why don't you ask an adult for advice. Yao Buwei seemed to see Li You's doubts, and turned his head to Yao Jin, who had been bowing his head and being silent.
Confucius was once the chief judge of the Lu State (the supreme magistrate), and Li You was naturally familiar with his exposition of the case, but he did not do in-depth research on other expositions. Therefore, as soon as he heard this, he immediately focused his attention on Yao Jin.
After all, he is a teacher for the first time, and he is also the teacher of two young girls, if the first question cannot be answered, it will be too shame-damaging.
"Hmm." Yao Jin pursed her lips and raised her eyes to look at Li You. "Ye Gongyu Confucius said: Our party has a straight bow, his father holds the sheep, and the son proves it. The son said: The difference between the straight of our party is that the father is hidden for the son, and the son is hidden for the father, and the straight is in it. Sir, I don't know what the master said, how to understand it? ”
Hearing that it was a discussion on the judgment of the case, Li You's hanging heart immediately relaxed, and after a little contemplation, he began to explain. "This is the judgment made by the master on the application of the law, and there is no need to explain the superficial thoughts, but the main connotation is that when applying the law, the particularity of the case should be taken into account, and if there are moral and ethical circumstances, then in the application of the law, consideration may be given to mitigating or mitigating the applicable punishment."
After asking the question, Yao Jin had an indifferent expression, but when she heard Li You's comments, her eyes immediately lit up. "It has such a deep connotation." Yao Jin looked at Li You excitedly. "In addition to the fact that father and son hide each other, if a person kills an enemy in order to avenge his father, is this also the case?"
"It's a different story." When it came to the application of the law, Li You was also interested. "The situation as the girl spoke of is indeed a difficult question. Although there is a reason for avenging the father, it should not be promoted, otherwise everyone will do it, and it will lead to a flood of lynching, where is the majesty of the law? ”
"What the gentleman said is very true." After hearing this, Yao Jin lowered her head thoughtfully. "Girl, in fact, it's different about this issue...""Master Li, you can't just say that you don't eat it, come, come, let's try these Jiangnan side dishes." Li You was still unfinished and was about to continue to discuss with Yao Jin, but Yao Buwei was interrupted by a sudden remark. Although Li You was a little unhappy, he saw that Yao Jin had been bowing his head and contemplating, and he had no intention of discussing it with himself again, so he had to give up.
"Sumire, don't respect Mr. for a cup." Yao Lan saw Li You looking at Yao Jin, and immediately reminded her.
"Oh." Yao Jin raised her head and looked at Li You. "Thank you, sir, for your advice." Yao Jin picked up the wine glass, Li You also picked it up, and the two of them drank it all.
"Ahem, ahem..."Different from the first glass of wine, after drinking the second glass of wine, Yao Jin suddenly coughed loudly. Sumire, you...""Sir, the little girl is still young, and she rarely drinks alcohol, but today she is afraid that she will neglect her husband, so she just mixed some water with the wine. But this cup, but I didn't have a chance... Please ahem, please sir, ahem..."
I see! Although Li You still had some doubts, he was somewhat relieved in his heart. Yao Lan and Yao Buwei glanced at each other, with a little surprise in their eyes, but unfortunately Li You couldn't see it.
"Since the girl can't drink, don't force it." Li You picked up the second daughter's wine glass and put it in front of him. "The two girls replaced the bar with tea."
"Okay, adults are so considerate of their students, my little old man entrusts his two daughters to adults, it's really a blessing for three lives, haha." Yao didn't laugh heartily. "Come, my lord, little old man salutes my lord."
"Good!" Li You picked up the wine glass and drank it all.
"Sir, please eat." Yao Lan took some vegetables and put them on Li You's plate. "This is one of the three famous dishes in the south of the Yangtze River, the shredded white pork, you can taste it or not."
At this time, Li You was indeed a little hungry, so he picked up the chopsticks and ate them. Yao Buwei saw Li You move his chopsticks and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Swap glasses and talk about wine. The food was delicious, and there were two young girls beside him to accompany him, plus Yao Buwei frequently persuaded him to drink, and unconsciously, Li You drank too much.
"You guys, help the adults to the guest room, and wait for them!" "Hmm." In a trance, Li You heard Yao Buwei's words, and was surprised by the change in his attitude towards the second daughter, and immediately felt two warm bodies, clinging to him from side to side, trying to help himself up. Li You suddenly felt bad in his heart, and wanted to say no, but he tried to open his mouth a few times, but he couldn't say a word.
What to do? What to do!
Li You tried to raise his head, looking left and right in a trance, feeling that he was being supported and walking forward step by step.
No way! Can't go!
Thinking of the posture of the second daughter drinking and pouring, thinking of Yao Buwei's self-contradictory performance during the banquet, and then thinking of the change in his attitude before and after, Li You understood that this was most likely a trap. deliberately setting such a trap will naturally make the conspiracy behind it even more terrifying.
However, at this time, Li You was completely involuntarily.
Drunk and mishap!
Squeak!
The sound of the door being pushed open, Li You vaguely saw a large bed, he struggled not to get close to the bed, but his legs were completely disobedient. However, Li You still did not give up, and shook his arms, trying to break free from the support of the second daughter.
"Be careful, sir." Li You is a young man after all, and he finally broke free from the support of his second daughter, but he stumbled into the bed with garlic under his feet.
"Hehe, my lord is in a hurry." Yao Lan's coquettish voice came from his ears. "Don't worry, Lan'er, I'll give you leniency, hehe."
Li You struggled to stand up, but he couldn't even move.
Finished!
"Hehe, my lord, you're in such a good shape." Li You felt that someone was undressing him, touching his body, and feeling that his body was reacting, and the whole person was overwhelmed by shame, chagrin, and unwillingness, and finally, he cried loudly.
Although I lost control of my body, I can still cry!
Maybe it was because she cried too ugly, or maybe it was the previous struggle that played a role, and the second daughter didn't continue to do anything to Li You.
"Sister, Master Li is different from others."
"What's the difference, after being coaxed a few words, didn't you surrender immediately?"
"He's different."
"What's the difference, aren't they all dog officials?"
"He's different!"
"Well, so what? Can he help us get revenge? Can he save us from suffering? Sumire, forget it, if you don't obey, you know the consequences. ”
"Hmm."
In a trance, Li You listened to the conversation between the two daughters, and the whole person was once again overwhelmed by unwillingness and remorse.
Can't do anything?
Are you kidding! It's just that I'm not decisive enough! It's deep down that I just want to let go of this result! After all, it is easier and happier to live in the same stream than to clean oneself.
However, is this kind of life really what you want?
No! Definitely not!
So, Li You stopped crying, but raised his head slightly, showed a poignant smile to the second daughter, and then, biting his tongue hard, blood immediately gushed out of his mouth and began to block Li You's throat.
"Ahem! Ahem! ”
Li You coughed loudly, blood spurted out of his mouth, splashing all over his chest. However, there was still blood gushing out, and Li You could no longer breathe normally.
So be it.
Stupid or stupid, although I Li You has not done much in my life, I have lived with a clear conscience!
That's enough!
"Ah, sister, he bit his tongue!"
"What!"
The second daughter panicked and quickly ran towards Li You.
However, it was already too late.
Li You felt that his eyelids were getting heavier and heavier, and his consciousness was becoming more and more blurred, but his heart was filled with incomparable pride.
See? Not all officials are dog officials!
Li You wanted to announce it loudly to the second daughter, but at this time it was no longer possible. So, he showed a smile to the second daughter and closed his eyes peacefully.
