In October, the autumn scenery on Mangshan is in full bloom, and the green, red and yellow canopies of the mountains are intricately displayed, looking at it from afar, it is brilliant and dazzling. When the wind blows, the leaves fall in color, and the fragrance of wildflowers hidden in the weeds and trees overflows, making it feel refreshing.

A narrow path winds through the woods, paved with fallen leaves, mottled and twisted into the depths of the woods.

A few sparrows suddenly flew in the empty forest, and several black shadows swept through the jungle, silently landing beside the bloodstains, pausing for a moment, one of them nodded to the others, and then jumped up, and quickly disappeared into the woods.

After just a few breaths, the man in Tsing Yi who had left earlier turned back, exchanged a look with the person beside him, and then quickly swept towards the mountain.

On the viewing platform near the top of the mountain, a slender young man in brocade clothes stood on the edge of the cliff with his hands tied, condescending, standing against the wind, his face could not be seen in the light and shadow, but his body was faintly revealing a compelling sharpness.

Several black shadows fell far away outside the observation deck, and one of them stepped forward and replied: "Master, it's the Lu family's convoy, and most of them are female dependents." It should be the group of rogues on Mangshan who did it, and they started very simply, and they didn't leave a single living mouth! The younger one searched the road again, and found a young woman in her twenties and a little girl of six or seven years old on the mountainside. It seems that the mother and daughter are alone, the woman jumped off the cliff with the child in her arms, and the adult fell to her death, and the little girl didn't seem to have a few injuries on her body, but she couldn't breathe, but her body was still hot, and she should have just died-"

"What just died?" While the young man in Tsing Yi was talking, a young man in white ran down the mountain road, panting while holding a fan to push away the little guy in Tsing Yi, squeezed onto the viewing platform, looked at the face of the young man in brocade, his eyes moved slightly, but he turned around and pointed at the little guy in Tsing Yi and said, "The body is hot, that is, it is not dead yet!" You hurry up and take a look, maybe you can save someone's little girl's life. This is a good thing that fell from the sky, maybe it can help your grandfather a lot! Go, go, go! ”

The little guy in Tsing Yi blinked his eyes and listened to the young man's lecture blankly and respectfully, but he looked at his master and didn't move half a step.

It wasn't until the young man standing on the edge of the cliff nodded that the little guy in Tsing Yi secretly breathed a sigh of relief, saluted the two masters on the observation deck, and led people quietly to the mountainside.

"Hey, what kind of luck do you think you're doing?" A few small servants entered the woods, and the young man in white shook the fan with a smile, raised his eyebrows and looked at the people standing by the observation deck, and joked, "You can encounter this murderous thing when you go up the mountain to enjoy the scenery!" Hearing this, the ten people who were robbed were the daughters of Lu Chenghui's family in the prefect of Qiannan...... It's no wonder that Lu Chenghui cut off other people's financial routes as soon as he came, and rabbits will bite people when they are in a hurry, let alone these outlaws? The Shen family is a huge rich man in the south of the Yangtze River, and that Mrs. Shen took her daughter to Mangshan, isn't it just to drill into other people's traps by herself--But since we met, we can't stand by and watch, right-hey, where are you going? ”

The young man in white said, his eyes suddenly flickered, and he only felt a gust of wind blowing on his face, and before he could come back to his senses, he saw that the person who was standing on the edge of the cliff had already crossed him and went down the mountain, and he hurriedly chased after him.

In the woods on the mountainside, the little man in Tsing Yi wrinkled his brows and took a breath, looked at his companion in front of him, and glanced at the little girl who fainted to death on the ground, and was a little confused for a while--their eyes and ears are sharper than ordinary people, and they will never be mistaken...... But the person who was obviously out of breath and pulse before, how could he be angry again in a blink of an eye? Could it be that my brain was dizzy before? It's really evil!

However, looking at the face of the master, maybe this little girl is really useful...... The little guy in Tsing Yi was thinking about it, but he saw that the companion opposite blinked quietly, and at the same time snuggled his mouth on the ground, and looked at the figure coming down from the mountain, lowered his voice, and hesitated to say, "Why don't you take it over and show it to the master first?" ”

The little guy in Tsing Yi stagnated his breath, stared at his eyes and exhaled, looking at the people on the ground in embarrassment...... How do you want to hold it? Men and women are not intimate...... Even if it's a little girl, he hasn't hugged it...... Hey, forget it, it's better to pick it up!

Who knew that as soon as she leaned down, before her hand touched anyone, the movement of the little girl in Tsing Yi suddenly stopped - the little girl who had stepped into the threshold of the underworld before she was dying opened her eyes at some point, and was staring at herself motionless at the moment, with a stunned and surprised face reflected in her dark and clear eyes.

The little guy in Tsing Yi was frightened for no reason by this clear and almost dazzling gaze, held his breath and was stunned for a moment, then reacted suddenly, jumped up suddenly, and lowered his voice while retreating, and turned back to the person next to him: "She-" Aiming at the person who came out of the forest, the little guy in Tsing Yi swallowed his saliva again, and said calmly, "Master, she's awake!" ”

The young man in white who had just run down from the top of the mountain had the tip of his ears, and as soon as he heard this, he hurriedly opened a few small people and squeezed over, put aside the little girl in green clothes, stared at the little girl who was slowly struggling to get up from the ground, and sighed non-stop: "I just said, this person must not be dead!" Take a look, let the master say it, right? If it weren't for Ye Duo's words, this girl would have to die in this wilderness-" In the middle of the words, she suddenly sighed, with a hint of surprise and admiration in her eyes, and the words in her mouth also turned around, "This little girl's eyes are very good!" ”

After a pause, I saw the little girl sitting on the ground with a wolf, staring at herself without blinking, with a stunned look from beginning to end, the voice of the young man in white suddenly stagnated, and he shook his fan happily, "Hey, it's a pity, when something like this happens, most of the people who are not dead are scared silly......"

It wasn't until the little girl covered in mud and grass clippings was shaken by the fan and unconsciously dodged backwards that the young man coughed in disguise, put away the fan, leaned down, and smiled brightly: "Don't be afraid, little girl, we-"

Who knew that before he finished speaking, he was unceremoniously interrupted by the person behind him: "Send it to Longxi Mansion!" ”

The young man in white was glanced at by the person behind him, suddenly felt bored, opened his mouth, and finally swallowed back the last half of the sentence, stared at the little girl and looked at it carefully, Fang slowly straightened up, took a fan and lit a few young men in Tsing Yi and snorted coldly: "Didn't you hear what your lord said?" Hurry up and send this little girl to Wu Shouye! After speaking, he turned around and nodded at the few long entourages behind him, pointed to the little girl who was sitting on the ground in a daze, and commanded randomly, "What are you doing in a daze?" Go down the mountain and drive your carriage over! ”

A few elders couldn't laugh or cry but were helpless, so they hurriedly agreed, and drove the carriage down the mountain.

The mother-in-law who accompanied the car carefully carried the little girl into the car, and together with the previous little girl in Tsing Yi, drove the carriage to Longxi Mansion quickly.

In a pavilion near the capital of Longxi Province in the east of Mangshan, a middle-aged man in his forties with a gentle and elegant face was slowly boiling tea.

The man in green clothes bowed down and stood on the right side of the man, respectfully presented the box in his hand, lowered his head and held his breath, and replied in a steady voice: "...... The withdrawal was quite timely, leaving no leverage. The small one has already sent someone to wait in the east of Mangshan, but the people of the Luo family are also here at this time, and the little one does not dare to make an assertion, so he has come to ask the master to show him. ”

The middle-aged man had a little smile on his face, and hummed as if he had nothing to do, casually put the rosewood box on the stone table, lifted the teapot and poured a cup of hot tea unhurriedly, picked up the teacup and shook it gently, and after a while, he smiled casually: "A few rogues, suddenly seeing so much money, it is inevitable that I will be greedy." If the spoils are unevenly divided and cannibalistic for a while, it is also reasonable. ”

The replying housekeeper's eyes flashed slightly, and he answered in a low voice, saluted and exited the pavilion, turned around and sank into the woods.

In the nineteenth year of Qinghe, the five southeastern prefectures, which had just experienced an autumn flood, were once again disturbed by the unbelievable murder case on Mangshan, and the people were in turmoil and unrest -- the female dependents of Lu Chenghui, the prefect of southern Qiannan, were robbed by rogues when they drove through Mangshan, and more than 30 women, children, and slaves were all killed, and only his daughter was saved by luck.

Lu Chenghui wrote in tears, claiming that he could not fulfill his responsibilities as a husband and father, let alone govern a place, although he trembled and tried his best, but in the end he had a bad trust, so he asked to resign and return to his hometown to raise his young daughter. Wu Shouye, the prefect of Longxi, was sent to the palace gate almost at the same time.

A few days later, Emperor Chengping dismissed Lu Chenghui's resignation and ordered Wu Shouye to thoroughly investigate the case.

Wu Shouye took over this big murder case that fell from the sky, and he really couldn't say it, but he had to do it, so he could only investigate it hard. After checking and checking, there were also a little eyebrows, originally following a little clue and preparing to get people, who knew that the group of thieves were fighting in the nest, stabbing each other with knives, and the remaining two alive did not wait for the officers and soldiers to find them, so they rushed down the mountain and fell to their deaths with a few boxes of jewelry and silver coins.

The case is barely closed here. But no one expected that in just half a month's effort, bandits and robberies were rampant in the five southeastern prefectures, robberies were frequent, and civil chaos broke out everywhere, armed fights continued, and countless deaths and injuries occurred.

Wu Shouye was so worried that his mouth was foaming, so he had to gather a few colleagues to discuss and draw up a fold, and reported to the imperial court in eight hundred miles, requesting the imperial court to transfer the defenders of southern Qiannan to the five southeastern prefectures to suppress the civil unrest and pursue the bandits.

As soon as the resolution of the imperial court was delivered to Wu Shouye, the news that the rebellion of the South Vietnamese tribes led the army to the southeast border reached Longxi Province.

Wu Shouye was so anxious that his hair was half white, and he begged to go to the Pingnan Wangfu overnight, pulling the sleeve of the prince of Pingnan in front of the palace, and the old tears were all over the place, begging the prince of Pingnan to come forward to pacify the rebels, but he was understated by the prince, "There is an order from the saint, and the southern wing army retreats to the east of Mangshan." The name of the place where the garrison left without permission is not right, and I am afraid that the court will blame it."

There was civil unrest inside, there was rebellion outside, and this wave after wave of disasters made Wu Shouye cry profusely, and he was desperate, so he wrote a letter asking for guilt and blood on the spot, and let people quickly send it to the court.

Five days later, the holy decree was issued, except for the king of Pingnan, Shizi Wei as the generalissimo of soldiers and horses, and led the army to suppress the rebellion of the South Vietnamese tribes.

It was not until the beginning of the spring of the twentieth year of Qinghe that this turmoil gradually subsided. The provinces south of Mangshan returned to peace, and the earth-shattering tragedy on the mountain was gradually forgotten.
