"Di Cui Zhai" is the most famous jade antique shop in Hangzhou, it operates jade antiques are mostly of the highest quality, so it is only open to dignitaries, the rules of Di Cui Zhai are ordinary people are exempt from seeing, small merchants and small merchants are exempt from entering. The boss Wang Yiren is good at dancing with long sleeves, and his ability to observe words and looks, and pat horses and whiskers is as well-known as the jade antiques he operates, so it is also a mixed wind and water in the business community of Hangzhou.

In Hangzhou this winter, the snow is particularly heavy and the weather is also very cold. Maybe the winter solstice is approaching, and the weather is still sunny and dry during the day, and in the middle of the night, the snowflakes are floating in large flakes.

At this time, in the VIP private room on the second floor of Dicuizhai, the lights have not been extinguished, and the braziers around the corner will warm the room. At this moment, the shopkeeper Wang seemed to be looking at the ledger, and his chubby face was no longer the usual mask-like smile, but there was an anxious but nervous look, and he put down the ledger from time to time to listen, and then continued to read.

After a while, I saw that the shopkeeper Wang looked shocked, and quickly walked to the first floor, opened a small door, and there was a man in white wearing a cloak standing outside the door, but seeing that the shopkeeper Wang respectfully led the man in white to the VIP room on the second floor.

After removing the cloak, the visitor flashed a silver waist plaque on his waist in front of the king's shopkeeper, and the silver eagle on it came to life.

"The subordinates meet the deputy commander", seeing the waist card, the shopkeeper of the king respectfully saluted, and then quietly looked at the man in white, this is a young man less than 20 years old, with a long figure, a handsome face, and a cold face without a trace of a smile.

"No courtesy", the young deputy commander said lightly, and then asked, "What happened to Li Yong over there?" ”

"Deputy Commander, subordinates finally found out last month, Li Yong's original name was Li Yonghe, a native of Hangzhou, has long been making dark money for a living, in addition to his wife and children, he did not see another woman in her early 40s, but last morning when it was almost dawn, his subordinates saw him sneakily out of the door, so they sent someone to follow him. It was found that he was heading in the direction of Gushan and had not yet returned home. In order not to startle the snake, the subordinates did not dare to follow up Gushan, so they ambushed at the entrance, and asked the deputy commander to instruct what to do next. However, the deputy commander ...... Can the subordinates know what is the purpose of our tracking Li Yong, and who are we looking for? The shopkeeper asked cautiously, and then quietly looked at the face of the deputy commander.

After hearing this, the deputy commander looked at the shopkeeper Wang with a cold gaze, "Shopkeeper Wang, do what we do, what should you ask and what you shouldn't ask, you still don't know what to do?" Is it that you have been living too comfortably all these years and have forgotten your identity? The icy and stern tone was even colder than the weather outside.

A chill rose from the soles of his feet, and the fat face of the shopkeeper couldn't help but tremble, and he hurriedly lowered his head and asked for guilt, "The subordinates dare not forget the duties of our secret guards at any time, just now the subordinates are about to ask more, please forgive the deputy commander." Shopkeeper Wang thought to himself that this person had become a deputy commander at such a young age, and it was really not simple.

"It's not a big mistake to do what you should do", and then the deputy commander pondered for a moment, and then his expression froze, "You take me to Gushan immediately, and I will go there myself."

"Yes, my subordinate will take you there." The shopkeeper didn't dare to ask any more questions, and with a flick of his body, he had already flashed out of the door, and the deputy commander quickly followed. But in the night, two horses carrying two figures rushed towards the lonely mountain.

On this snowy night, two groups of secret guards belonging to different camps officially kicked off the struggle. It was destined to be a sleepless night.

Lonely Mountain, Autumn Crane Pavilion, Grass House.

Lin Kui has been living in seclusion since he was about 40 years old in this lonely mountain, living a reclusive life, and has been living for more than 20 years. Because of the noble character of the plum blossom, and because he was also called Mei, he took Mei as his wife and never married; He admired the crane's single-mindedness and indifference, so he took the crane as his son and remained unchanged in his life.

Lin Kui quietly looked at the snow outside the window, the simple window was broken by a stick, and he didn't even feel the snow floating in.

Wu Shanqing, Yue Shanqing.

The green mountains on both sides of the strait greet each other, who knows the parting feelings?

The king is in tears, and the concubine is in tears.

The concentric knot of the Luo belt has not been completed, and the tide of the river has been flattened.

Holding the green hosta in his hand tightly, this song "Sauvignon Blanc" written for himself and her back then came to mind. Then he sighed wistfully, how many years have it been? Maybe 40 years, too long, so long that he thought that many things had been forgotten, but at this moment, all the past suddenly came to his mind.

He felt like he could finally meet her in another place, was she still waiting for her? Just like when she was unswerving to him back then, he could only repay her love by not marrying for life.

I don't know when the snow stopped, Lin Kui silently looked at the figure standing outside the cottage, and then he seemed to be as gentle as a lover, gently patted the snow off his body, and quietly walked out of the cottage.

"Mr. Lin?" It was still the same cold voice, but with a respectful tone. It was the deputy commander.

"I don't know what the son is doing to find the old man? The old man never seemed to have seen Childe. Lin Kui still had a breezy voice, and it seemed that his mood had not been destroyed by the visitor.

"Under Liu Congguang, I want to inquire about someone with the old gentleman." Liu Congguang, the nephew of the current Empress Dowager Liu E, is deeply loved by the Empress Dowager because of his intelligence and stability since childhood, and he was named the Chuzhou Defense Envoy at the age of 17. "Does the old gentleman know Li Yu? Can you tell me about the whereabouts of Lady Jade? ”

"Yu'er? She's gone. Lin Kui looked at the person in front of him lightly.

"So does the old gentleman know when and with whom Madame Yu went? I also hope that the old gentleman will not hesitate to tell me, because this is a major matter related to the imperial court."

For Lin Kui in front of him, Liu Congguang didn't want to be presumptuous and use any tough means, because this is an admirable old man, he has been willing to be poor all his life and does not seek glory and profit, otherwise he would already be the official family of today, the former prince and the prince.

"The old man has lived in seclusion for more than 20 years, has never asked about the major affairs of the court, when the first emperor was there, he had given Su silk, and told the county to save the compassionate service, the old man has always been grateful, hated himself for a cloth, no retribution, if you can help in some small things, in order to repay the emperor, the old man has died in this life without regrets. As for Yu'er's matter, the old man can't tell him, and I hope that the son will forgive me. The old man felt that the limit was approaching, so he wouldn't send his son here, and the old man would not accompany him. After Lin Kui finished speaking, he turned around and walked back to the grass house.

"The green mountains on the lake are close to the knots, and the bamboo in front of the grave is also sparse. Maoling asked for a posthumous manuscript every day, and he was still happy that there was no sealed Zen book. There was the sound of Lin Kui's chanting in the grass house, and then the voice gradually faded.

Liu Congguang stood silently outside the grass house, the snow began to float again, and it was so quiet between heaven and earth, suddenly a crane flew up, and then two, three...... A flock of cranes circled the grass hut three times, and with a long roar, flew into the night sky, and gradually disappeared.

"Mr. Lin is immortal." Zhao Xian sighed.

At this time, Zhao Xian and the others were sitting in a thatched hut on the edge of the West Lake, which was a boatman's hut and the hiding place of one of their secret guards.

"Father-in-law......" Li Yu paused, and then shed tears, "It's all because of my ......" After speaking, Li Yu couldn't cry.

"Mr. Lin knew that the deadline was coming, and we just had the right time."

After a pause, he said, "Madame, don't be too sad, life and death should be looked at, you must know that there is no life is no death, no death is no life, sometimes death is also a relief, instead of sad tears, sad sighs, it is better to bless him, may Mr. Lin have all the best in heaven, and can see the people he misses all his life......." Zhao Xian didn't persuade Li Yu too much, she knew that sometimes it was necessary to release her emotions.

"Master, everything is ready, ready to go." At this time, Zhao Yan walked into the grass hut and gave a salute.

"Well, let's go now, and tell them that the rest can begin. In addition, I will repair the book at the official's house, and tell you the details of Mr. Lin's affairs, and you will send a fast horse to Kyoto immediately. ”

"Madame, don't be sad about Mr. Lin's affairs anymore, we will arrange the old man's funeral."

Zhao Xian stood up, pushed open the window, looked at the heavy sky outside, and breathed a long sigh of relief, "Tomorrow...... Maybe it's a good day."
