Governor Yuan's mansion did not sleep all night, firstly, the government affairs were complicated, and secondly, the sound of firecrackers did not stop all night.

The people of Chang'an Mansion seem to want to vent their dissatisfaction and fright at martial law these days, as well as the joy of welcoming the long-awaited arrival of heavy snow.

After all, it was Chinese New Year's Eve, and the city gates were closed on all sides, and the officers and soldiers were all over the streets, so they were left to the people.

It wasn't until near dawn that Yuan Zhifu closed his eyes because of numbness, but as soon as he fell asleep, someone knocked on the door, and when he heard the intention, the anger also disappeared, and the person woke up instantly.

"Xue Qing is in our Chang'an Mansion?" Governor Yuan's dressed hand stopped and asked urgently.

The person nodded and said, "That's what the generals outside the city gate said, they are waiting for the adults in the lobby." ”

.....

.....

"Just a while ago, we surrounded Xue Qing. ”

The general in the hall was covered in wind and snow, his eyebrows and beards were covered with frost, and his voice was hoarse.

But after discovering Qin Mei's whereabouts, coupled with the interception of the black armor guard, she escaped. ”

Governor Yuan was puzzled: "Then how can you be sure that you are here with us?"

The general said: "Her last whereabouts were near Chang'an Mansion, and someone reported that she had entered Chang'an Mansion. ”

Yuan Zhifu said: "Is there any confidence in reporting?"

The general shook his head and said: "Since that report, there has been no news, no matter what, the report information received along the way is still very accurate, so Xue Qing is very likely to be hiding in Chang'an Mansion." ”

Governor Yuan hesitated: "The city gate has been strictly inspected, and there has been..."

"Strict scrutiny doesn't really help. The general interrupted him and said, "Xue Qing must have changed his appearance." ”

At present, this is already something that everyone knows, and Governor Yuan nodded and said: "I have long guessed that Xue Qing will come to Chang'an Mansion, and this official is on guard, and he must not be able to escape from Chang'an Mansion." He called out to someone.

The prefect's yamen, which had only been quiet for a while, became busy again.

.....

.....

The snow-covered Chang'an Mansion was alarmed by the sound of horses' hooves, footsteps, and barking dogs, and the snow was flying.

The barking of dogs was in my ears, and the bridge shook because of the horse's footsteps, and the beggar who was asleep under it woke up, and looked at the morning light to realize that it was dawn.

I slept until dawn and didn't wake up from the cold like before? Last night's firewood could burn for so long? The beggar looked in disbelief, but saw that the campfire was already cold, but he was still warm.... The beggar looked down at the extra cloak on his body.

The cloak was dusty and shabby, but there was fur on the inside, so it was very warm.

This cloak .....

The barking of the dog is approaching suddenly...

The beggar reacted quickly this time and reached out to cover his chest....

"It's a bun, it's half a bun!"

Screams, barking dogs, and shouts from officers and soldiers resounded through the bridge.

An officer and soldier took off half of the bun from the dog's mouth and threw it on the ground, then looked at the beggar rolling on the ground, shook his head and said, "Search." ”

What could he search for as a beggar! The beggar thought that two or three officers and soldiers would rush up and rip off his clothes..... The beggar screamed, the torn cloak, the blanket, the torn shirt, the naked, the naked, the stinky and thin, and the ribs were visible.....

"Alright. The officers and soldiers at the head looked at it, stopped the officers and soldiers who were going to pick up their pants again, and shook their heads and said, "Let's go." ”

The sound of hulala's footsteps and the clashing of weapons accompanied by the barking of dogs left, and the frightened beggar was awakened by the cold wind, and hurriedly wrapped his clothes around his body, and heard the conversation of the officers and soldiers in the cold wind.

“... It's also strange that these dogs have been eating steamed buns lately...."

“... Probably tired of eating bones..."

The beggar spat out, looked at the half of the steamed bun that rolled down in the snow and mud, hurriedly picked it up, wiped it and stuffed it into his chest, stuffed it halfway and stopped, this steamed bun has been bitten twice by the dog, it seems that it is not suitable to stay in this world for a long time, so you don't have to wait until you are very hungry to eat, it is better to eat it first, otherwise it will be bad if you are really eaten by the dog.

He munched on the bun in a big gulp, his body was warm, and the bun had not yet hardened..... Warm, the beggar looked at the cloak wrapped around his body, which belonged to the beggar last night.

It's really generous, this cloak can save a beggar's life for the winter, because what? The beggar looked at the half of the bun in his hand, is this one? tsk, fool.....

The sound of hurried footsteps came from the bridge again, and the beggar hurriedly stuffed the steamed bun into his mouth desperately, while looking over, fortunately this time there was only a group of officials, and there were no dogs......

.....

.....

In addition to the officers and soldiers running on the streets, people who rushed to pay their respects to the New Year also began to move, and in addition to relatives, friends, and juniors, students also came to the door.

Mr. Zhou's house was full of people at this time, and he was greeted by Mrs. Zhou for refreshments during the New Year, and young people gathered together to laugh and laugh.

"Today I am in charge, and I don't need to be afraid of you gentlemen. Mrs. Zhou said, "You can play whatever you want." ”

The young people followed suit, and soon played cards and chess in the side hall.

With a soft ding, a wooden arrow landed steadily in the copper kettle, and the young people around clapped their hands and cheered.

"Brother Leting had a very good time this time. A young man said, reaching out to take the quiver from Leting.

Leting smiled: "Practice makes perfect. ”

The two exchanged shoulders and whispered.

"Is the news true?"

"Yes, Liu Yun had already replaced his father on an errand in the Yamen a few years ago, and when it was dawn, I saw the officers and soldiers outside coming in, and heard them say that Xue Qing was in Chang'an Mansion. ”

As soon as the two of them spoke, the young man continued to throw the pot, and Le Ting retreated to the young man next to him.

"Those officers and soldiers were chased all the way. A young man next to him whispered, "It must be true." ”

Another young man said, "So she's really back?"

While speaking, the eyes of several people looked at the young man who threw the pot, and at this time, the young man's wooden arrow fell into the copper kettle.

"Good. Several people applauded.

"That's just what the officers and soldiers said, but so far no one has seen her. The young man whispered.

"Don't get excited, everybody. Another young man said, "She doesn't come to us, let's not look for her." ”

Several people nodded again, smiling and applauding at the young man who threw the pot.

"She's supposed to be dressed up as a girl now. A young man said suddenly.

Leting said: "It should be, this is the most convenient." ”

Everyone's expressions were a little strange, as if they were excited, but also seemed to be puzzled and a little restrained and embarrassed.

"She, isn't she embarrassed to see us?" a young man whispered, "the capital said that she never responded. ”

The voice fell into the music pavilion suddenly, which made everyone slightly nervous, but fortunately, playing cards and chess indoors was noisy even if it was a scholar.

"What?" everyone asked in a low voice.

Leting shook his head: "It's nothing. He added, "She's not embarrassed not to see us, but she doesn't want to drag us down." ”

The young people nodded, and they knew that.

However, she still wanted to take a look at them and fly away, Leting thought to herself, so she came to say goodbye outside the door last night?

There was a lot of noise in the side room, and suddenly there was a lot of noise in the yard.

"What are you doing?"

The young people sitting by the window were the first to come back to their senses and hurriedly leaned against the window and shouted, "It's officers and soldiers!"

Soldiers!

The young people in the room suddenly stopped moving, and Le Ting and a few other young people exchanged glances and looked out with everyone.

The officers and soldiers had already entered the house.

"Check strangers. The leader of the officers and soldiers said, his eyes swept over the room, "Who is Mr. Zhou?"

Mr. Zhou stepped forward.

"Call everyone in your family out for a check-up. Officers and soldiers said.

"These are my students' sons and nephews," Mr. Zhou said, "they are all from Chang'an's Mansion...."

The officers and soldiers interrupted him and said, "No matter who it is, the name, parents, and relationship with you will be reported." ”

What else did Mr. Zhou say, Le Ting and the others had already stepped forward to stop him.

"Okay, okay, please ask. ”

"Sir, it's a big deal to arrest the thief now. ”

Mr. Zhou was persuaded to go down, and shook his sleeves with indignation: "Check it." ”

The officers and soldiers said: "There are also female dependents." ”

Mrs. Zhou was taken aback: "Female dependents, who checks, and you also check?

The officers and soldiers looked at her with cold expressions: "Why don't you show your head? Is there anything you can't see?"

"This, sir, that's not what I mean. ”

"It's too much, you guard the city gate and street gate every day, who knows how many people are who is better than ourselves, and we have to check, and we will toss people for the New Year. ”

"Isn't it just to arrest the same party? I, that is, I am the same party of Xue Qing, arrest me. ”

"Sir, sir. ”

The room was in chaos.

At this time, every household in Chang'an Mansion was like this, small families from poor families, and large families with mansions were flooded by officers and soldiers, and everyone in every household had to come out for verification, and for a time everywhere fell into chaos.

.....

.....

"Open the door!"

"Second master, second master!"

Guo Er's house was kicked open by someone, the officers and soldiers rushed in, and the subordinates shouted and retreated in panic, but no one noticed that although these subordinates stumbled, none of them fell to the ground.

"Where is Second Master Guo?"

"Official, the second master is in the Buddha Hall.."

What kind of Buddha is a big man reciting? The officers and men rushed over, lifted the curtain, and sure enough, they saw Second Master Guo kneeling on the futon and chanting the words.

“... Don't come to my house, don't come to my house. He muttered, and the next moment he stood up in fright.

"Second Master Guo, what are you doing?" shouted the officers and soldiers at the head, "Don't you want anything to come to your house?"

Second Master Guo said: "Didn't you say that Xue Qing came to Chang'an Mansion, I, I'm not afraid that she will come to our house..."

What kind of mess, the officers and soldiers frowned: "Why did she come to your house? Do you want to cover her?"

Second Master Guo shouted wronged: "Of course I arrested it immediately." He smiled again, "Of course it's better not to come, save trouble." Without waiting for the officers and soldiers to say anything, he hurriedly said, "Do you want to search? ”

The officer and soldier said: "In addition, everyone in the family must be checked. ”

Second Master Guo nodded again, and raised his hand to greet: "Check, check, what about people, call everyone." ”

The people in the house responded in a disorderly manner.

......

......

Reluctantly, respectfully cooperative, or lukewarm, no matter what kind of attitude, whether it is a broken house or a mansion, any house in Chang'an Mansion has to be opened, family members are checked one by one, regardless of gender, and every corner of the house is searched.

On the first day of the first lunar month, Chang'an Mansion was lively and deserted.

Old lady Liu turned the golden ball and looked at Yuan Zhifu in the hall and said, "I don't know, it's like copying the house." ”

Yuan Zhifu said: "Old lady Liu is laughing, there are many offenses, the search for the traitor has to be like this, Xue Qing has already infiltrated Chang'an Mansion, if the search is not thorough, everyone will not be able to tell." ”

Old lady Liu said in a loud voice: "Then if you want to say that, if this Xue Qing can't be caught in one day, everyone in our Chang'an Mansion will be suspects?"

Governor Yuan said with a heavy face: "Old lady Liu, this is not what I said, if you are dissatisfied with the search, you can impeach the official, but the court has never said that you are a suspect." ”

Old lady Liu said: "I didn't say it, but you did it..."

Governor Yuan's face was gloomy, and Old Lady Liu laughed again, and the golden ball in his hand hit softly.

“... It's a big New Year, and it's a joke. He said, "Lord Yuan, don't mind." ”

If he really laughed, of course he wouldn't mind, Yuan Zhifu also smiled, his expression was not relaxed, this Chang'an Mansion was almost in turmoil, and this kind of thing was impossible without the support of these local squires and wealthy families.

"Grab it early. Old lady Liu said, smiling at Yuan Zhifu, "Everyone can have a good year." ”

"yes. Governor Yuan also smiled, "Old lady Liu is right." ”

Continuing the previous fun.

Xue Qing didn't see the noise on the first day of the first month of the first month of Chang'an Mansion, guessed that he guessed, but knew that as long as he left, it would be okay to make trouble again.

She had already moved away from Chang'an Mansion, but she did not ride farther away, and at this moment there were many people on the road in the wilderness, and the two teams of people and horses collided together, making screams and weapons crashing.

The ground is shaking.

Xue Qing was crawling on the snow, his white clothes blended with the snow, the withered grass on his head swayed, and he could see a cold light shining in black and red when he raised his eyes.

Black armor, red blood, and the cold light of the sword.

The officers and soldiers of the Black Armor Guard and the Great Zhou met again on the first day of the new year, continuing the fight of last year.

Xue Qing felt the bat order on his waist, Qin Mei had been thrown away by her, without the bat order, he could no longer track him unscrupulously, and he was forced to retreat by his reported whereabouts, but the black armor guard was still ghostly.

So in fact, the black armor guard was not tracking her at all, but tracking the officers and soldiers of Da Zhou, and then looking for an opportunity to come out and intercept her, and then the charge was deducted from her head.

Protect Xue Qing.

Protect your mother's head.

As always, the small number of black-armored guards retreated as soon as they raided and killed, and the officers and soldiers of the Great Zhou Dynasty chased and cleaned up the battlefield, and the fighting stopped, leaving only the sound of horses' hooves and the movement of moving corpses, and soon these officers and soldiers also left.

Xue Qing lay motionless on the ground.

After a while, more than a dozen men crawled out of the ravine on the snow not far away, wearing cotton jackets, carrying baskets and carrying gift bags decorated with colored paper, their simple faces were terrified.... It looks like tenants who go to the Lord's house on the first day of the new year to pay New Year's greetings.

At the beginning of the battle, they fled to the ravines on the side of the road, but fortunately, the fierce battle between the two sides did not affect these ordinary people.

"Okay, it's okay, pick up a life. ”

"Let's go, let's go. ”

The men were talking and greeting, and they staggered as if their legs were weak, and they walked very slowly..... panicked, and gradually came this way.

Xue Qing squinted at these people, saw the cold light on their heads of the flat shoulders wrapped around the hemp rope, looked at the heavy shaking baskets, and staggered but steady footsteps.....

In addition to the Black Armor Guard and the officers and soldiers of the Great Zhou, there are new characters to round her up?

Suddenly, Xue Qing's face was surprised, his hand supported the ground, and he stood up with the snowflakes flying.

The men who were slowly surrounding were still talking nonsense, and suddenly saw the people who were going to be surrounded jump out in advance, and they couldn't help but be surprised, and then the shoulders of the burden trembled, and the men who walked in a rickety figure grabbed the basket.....

"Brother Xiaokang. Xue Qing didn't care about their movements, looked at one of the men and shouted, "Why are you here?"

The men in various movements and postures froze instantly, and one of the men with a flat shoulder on his back looked at him in surprise.

The plain-clothed girl who seemed to be drilled out of the snow stood with her hands down, with a plain white silk handkerchief tied on her head, and the dead grass was still shaking, and as she got up to reveal the black braid tied behind her, the snow was white and she couldn't see her face clearly for a while, but this action, this voice, and a word floated in.....

"Are you a merchant?" her voice was soft.

The man with the flat burden on his back subconsciously said, "Then, is Young Master Qingzi studying here?"

.....
