The winter of the thirty-fifth year of the Great Calendar.

Chu Dynasty calendar, the fifteenth day of the winter month, there is snow.

In the early morning, the streets of Kyoto Prefecture are covered with a thin layer of edelweiss, and the shiny silver color decorates the streets of Kyoto Prefecture like works of art.

No one knows what happened in Lane 47 of East Street yesterday, but when they got up early in the morning, the mansion facing the street was full of people, and the Kyoto Prefecture Yin mobilized dozens of government soldiers to surround the mansion to prevent any curious guy from running inside.

Xu San got up early in the morning a little reluctantly today, thinking that it would snow last night, so his tofu shop could open later, and he would be able to sleep lazily, but he was kicked out of his dream by the mother-in-law of his own family. So Xu San, who was still grinding tofu with tofu Shih Tzu in his dream, got dressed with a displeased face, and then prepared to go to the water room in Lane 47 of East Street in Kyoto Prefecture to fetch water, and then fill his own water tank, so as to ensure that his tofu workshop can be used for a day, which is what he has to do every day, and it is also what he must do every day.

What Xu San didn't expect was that when he just walked to the entrance of Lane 47 of East Street, he saw that the big mansion at the entrance of the alley was surrounded by people, and he didn't know what was going on. That is, Xu San's eyes were better, and he vaguely saw a few people wearing armor from the cracks.

Xu San rubbed his eyes, shook the flat shoulder with the bucket on his shoulder, and made sure that he was not in a dream, so he whispered to himself: "Hey, what's the big deal, why are even the government soldiers dispatched." ”

Xu San carried a flat shoulder on his shoulders, and the buckets on both sides swayed with the bumps of his walking, like two childish children.

He knows that house, his family lives in Nanluo Lane, East Street, two alleys away from Lane 47, and this house is just at the mouth of Lane 47, and the water house is at the end of the alley, so every morning when he comes to the water room to fetch water, he will pass by here. This house is indeed very large, Xu San himself heard others say when chatting with others that one of the rooms in this house is the size of his own tofu factory. So every time Xu San walked by here, he would always unconsciously look inside, always wanting to see what kind of person the owner of the house with his own tofu workshop was, what kind of person did this person make a living, and could buy such a big house.

I don't know what the owner of the house does for a living, but when I go to the water room every day to fetch water, I can always see a carriage coming to pick up people from inside.

The horses in the cart are very god-horses, compared to the horses he saw next to the stables when he was young when he was young when he went to the general's mansion with his father to deliver tofu, so Xu San should have thought that the owner of this house had something to do with those nobles who he couldn't reach for eight lifetimes. It's just that the nobles all live in the alleys of Kyoto Prefecture West Street, why do their families live in East Street? Then, Xu San, who was not smart enough, arranged an explanation that seemed more reasonable to him for this unreasonable thing - this is the illegitimate son raised by a nobleman on West Street, after all, the person he saw back then should be a child, and he looked like he was only in his teens, not like the concubine found by the wife of a nobleman, so the identity of this illegitimate child is reasonable. This kind of thing is still common in Kyoto Prefecture, just like the house in the west courtyard of the house where a certain noble woman lived, but later it was discovered by the nobleman's big house, and there was a stir here for a while.

If this woman can be raised here, the child can naturally be raised here. Xu San thought so.

Everyone has curiosity, Xu San is the same, originally he just walked through here with peace of mind, arrived at the water room at the end of the alley, and then picked up two buckets of water to go home, but when he walked through the house, Xu San still couldn't help but look inside, and then Xu San joined the big army to watch the excitement.

"Fifth aunt, what's the matter, it's such a big commotion." Xu San happened to see that the fifth aunt who sold vegetables was also here, so he asked.

"I heard that there are dead people, early this morning, Uncle Liu, who delivered water, found it when he came to deliver water, and I heard that the yard was full of dead people." The fifth aunt smacked her tongue and said to Xu San.

At first, when Xu San heard Uncle Liu who sent water, he couldn't help but think of his guesses, and secretly said in his heart: "A noble person is a noble person, and the water is sent by others." ”

"Xu San, look! You see! The fifth aunt looked a little excited, "Brought it out!" Lifted out! Another one was carried out. ”

Xu San was stunned for a moment, and then looked in the direction of the fifth aunt's finger, only to see two government soldiers wearing armor walking out of the house carrying a pair of shelves.

No accident, the one on the shelf was the corpse that the fifth aunt said.

Seeing this scene, Xu San thought to himself, it should be a nobleman's big house who found out about this, but this big house was too ruthless, and he was killed directly. Thinking of this, Xu San couldn't help but lament the consequences of being found by the "big house", and then thought that he was still living a comfortable life, and there were no worries about the "big house" and "second room" at home, let alone worrying about making the "big house" angry one day, and then being killed. The most I encountered was that I was kicked awake from a dream by my mother-in-law, but I didn't have to worry about my life.

"It's the fifth." The fifth aunt whispered to Xu San.

In fact, this is only the first time that the fifth aunt has seen, but the essence of people's false rumors has penetrated into the bone marrow, and they can't change it.

Xu San didn't care if it was one or five people who were carried out, in his opinion, no matter how many people were carried out inside, they would become an imaginary number with no substance when they chatted with others in the future. He will tell Wang Er next door that many people died in a house on a certain day, not one person, or five, and maybe he would use a few words that he only knew to set off his different temperament from the other party.

Thinking of Xu San here, he felt that there was not much point in surrounding this mansion, after all, there was no material to brag about in front of Wang Er next door in the future, and the rest was not important. So he picked up the flat pole beside him, then hung up the buckets on both sides, and walked leisurely towards the water house in the end of Lane 47. At this time, Xu San had already thought in his heart that when he returned home in a while, how would he tell his mother-in-law about the "earth-shattering event" he had just experienced.
