Outside the northwest city gate, a group of more than a dozen people, old and young, men and women, were carrying burdens on their backs and were about to leave. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

One of the old women turned her head again, looked in the direction of the city, and seemed to be a little reluctant, "Master, let's ...... Did you really just leave, this was once the place you dreamed of! Moreover, the ancients said that 'there is no reason for people to go out of Yangguan in the west', even if we want to leave the capital, we don't necessarily have to go to that kind of bitter cold and sparsely populated place, right? ”

At this time, the old man did not answer, but another middle-aged man replied on his behalf: "Mother, the capital used to be a place that my father dreamed of, but now I am afraid it has become a nightmare for our whole family!" It's not bad to leave this place of right and wrong earlier! ”

At this time, the old man finally spoke, "You two should say a few words, there is a way that is a disaster from the mouth, do you still think that the loss is not big enough?" Hurry up and hope to find a place to stay before dark! ”

"Please stay!" The group was about to leave, when they suddenly heard the sound of a carriage from behind.

The old man at the head turned around and saw a spacious and magnificent carriage coming from the dust. The old man squinted slightly, and said to himself, "It's still here!" ”

The carriage stopped in front of the old man, and at this time, a woman of about twenty peeked out of the carriage, except for the fact that the woman was a little more heroic between her eyebrows, and her dress was not very different from that of other big families.

The woman in the carriage was about to get out of the carriage, but was stopped by another little girl with a big face and big eyes. I saw that the little girl jumped out of the carriage first, and then carefully carried the woman out of the carriage, and the little girl complained in her mouth: "Sister Ru Yan, I didn't say you, the injuries on your body are not well understood, you have to pay attention everywhere!" ”

When the old man saw the woman who got out of the carriage, he stepped forward to greet him a few steps, and saluted, "The grass people have seen Lord Chen!" ”

Ru Yan was shocked when she heard this: "Uncle Ouyang, why are you doing this?" Previously, because I was the presiding judge in your case, I had to call you by your name because of the statutes and rules. Now that your suspicion has been cleared, you are no longer the prisoner of the old ranks, and I am not your chief judge, so you are still my elder! ”

Ouyang Hongbing said: "My lord, I have resigned to the emperor and returned to the field, and the emperor has also agreed to my request, from then on, I am just an ordinary person, and the people should salute when they see the officials!" ”

Ru Yan didn't bother with Ouyang Hongbing so much, and said, "Uncle Ouyang, can you take a step to speak?" There's a tea shop next to it, so why don't we go and sit in that tea shop? ”

"In my opinion, it doesn't have to!" The old man refused: "I made a promise to the adults, I have left a letter to send to the adult's house, didn't the adult see the letter I left?" ”

"See!" , Ru Yan said, then took out a letter from her body and unfolded it, "Uncle Ouyang only wrote a few big words in the letter, 'There are traitors in the house', so that Ru Yan didn't understand, Uncle Ouyang promised that as long as Ru Yan cleared your grievances, you would answer the confusion in Ru Yan's heart, Uncle Ouyang's move was too perfunctory, right?" ”

Ouyang Hongbing sighed and said, "You just want to know something about the night attack of the Zhenxi General's Mansion by bandits more than ten years ago, and the truth is in the letter I wrote!" ”

"On the letter?" , Ru Yan is still puzzled.

"That incident back then, if it weren't for the internal response of thieves in the General's Mansion, those thieves would have entered the General's Mansion so lightly, how could the General's Mansion suffer such a disaster?" , Ouyang Hongbing replied.

"Who's that spy?" , Ru Yan asked.

"I don't know, I only know that he is the guardian of your Zhenxi General's Mansion!" , Ouyang Hongbing said.

Ru Yan sneered: "Since Uncle Ouyang knows that he is the guardian of my Zhenxi General's Mansion, how can he not know who the spy is?" So, how did Uncle Ouyang learn about the news about the spy No. 1? Ru Yan asked.

"That's all, my lord, please understand, the next thing needs to be explored by the adults themselves!" After a long time, Ouyang Hongbing replied.

"Okay, since Uncle Ouyang doesn't want to answer this question, then let's change the question! I heard that Uncle Ouyang had a very unpleasant dispute with my father when he left western Yunnan, what is the reason for your dispute? In my childhood impression, you always had a good relationship with my father! Ru Yan asked again.

Ouyang Hongbing's eyes were half-squinted, and at this time he seemed to have fallen into the contemplation of the past, and said leisurely: "Speaking of what happened to me and your father back then, I really regret leaving Western Yunnan, I really regret it!" Everyone has a time when they are young and frivolous, and I was like this back then, when I always thought that I was talented and ambitious, but I could only nest in the remote western part of Yunnan, and the officials of my time had already been promoted, and at that time, I often had the feeling of being depressed when the dragon met the shallows. After all, people are like this, they haven't tried it, so they desperately want to try it! ”

Ouyang Hongbing turned to look at Ru Yan and said, "Unexpectedly, when I proposed to your father the idea of wanting to be transferred, your father was very angry, not only did not agree to my request, but also said a bunch of ugly things, saying that I actually have no ability at all, if it weren't for him covering me, I wouldn't even be in that position at that time." Now he still whimsically thinks that his wings are full, so he is in such a hurry to go out! At that time, I was really angry and angry, and I had a world-shaking quarrel with him for the first time, having never disobeyed him. After the quarrel, I left western Yunnan with my family, thinking that even if I was no longer an official and starved to death in the wilderness, I would no longer be pitied by him. But in the end, your father still sent me the paperwork ...... for the transfer! ”

Ouyang Hongbing's words were obviously different from what Ru Yan had learned before, although Ouyang Hongbing's attitude was very sincere and his feelings were very sincere at this time, but Ru Yan always felt that Ouyang Hongbing was still trying to hide some things.

"Oh, really?" Ru Yan asked, "But what I heard is a different version?" ”

"What is it?" , Ouyang Hongbing asked.

Ru Yan looked around, then leaned closer to Ouyang Hongbing's ear and said softly, "I heard that the reason why Uncle Ouyang quarreled with my father back then was related to the first emperor and the prince!" ”

Ru Yan actually just saw that Ouyang Hongbing was a thousand-year-old fox, and she couldn't ask for any clues from him in a normal way, so she made up these words according to the words of the pillar to deceive Ouyang Hongbing.

Unexpectedly, after Ouyang Hongbing heard this, his face changed greatly, and he asked Ru Yan sharply: "Where did you hear these words, it's just nonsense, there's no such thing!" (To be continued.) )
