Cold. In the white snow of the wild, a long line of footprints was left behind.

A donkey followed with a load full of firewood, and then a middle-aged man walked through the snow with a little boy on his back. From time to time, look into the distance.

The little boy said, "Daddy, aren't you tired, let's rest before leaving?" ”

The middle-aged man shook his head and said, "It's going to be dark soon, so you must rush to the county seat." Otherwise, the city gate will not be opened as soon as it is closed, it will be very dangerous in the wilderness, and you will die. ”

The little boy is only four years old and has nothing but curiosity and no danger in his world. So he asked again, "Daddy, why did we go so far to collect firewood?" ”

The middle-aged man braved the wind and snow to walk with his son on his back, and said: "The firewood gang has monopolized the area around the county, saying that the firewood belongs to them, and if you want to collect firewood safely nearby, you must pay them money." No one cared about this matter, and it was sent to acquiesce. Even if the county lord is Qingtian, the county officials are not as good as the county management. There is no evidence to sue. As a result, every winter, the poor will have a hard time, and they have to pay money to collect firewood in the surrounding area, which leads to the high price of firewood in the county. In order not to freeze to death, those who cannot afford it have to leave the surrounding boundaries of Taihu County and go to a distant place to collect firewood for the winter, so they also face great danger. ”

"What's the danger?" The little boy asked cutely.

"Child, when you grow up, you will know that the wild is full of dangers. Every winter, many people go out to collect firewood and never return. Who knows what happened to them? There are too many theories, but there is never a conclusion. In short, every winter, there are many missing people. When Master Sima took office in Shuzhou, he said that he would solve these problems, but it always went on and on year after year. His father sighed.

"Daddy, I'm cold." The little boy said again.

The middle-aged man looked up again, and saw a lonely courtyard in the distance with the smell of smoke and fire, and a "wine" flag was erected on a high pole in the courtyard, which was blown from side to side by the snow wind. Such a blatant "wine flag" proves that this is a foot shop.

"Xiao An, there is a store in front. Daddy will go and use firewood to change a bun for you to eat, and it won't be cold. The middle-aged man said.

The little boy was very happy, eating meat buns is equivalent to the New Year, so he smiled and said: "Daddy, is it true that the emperor eats buns every day?" ”

The middle-aged man thought for a while and said, "It should be true, I have become emperors, and it's not a pity that I don't eat buns yet." ”

As he spoke, he led the donkey into the small courtyard, and happened to meet a man from the house, as well as a somewhat charming sign woman. The waist is still around the waist, and the hall is steaming.

After seeing it, the beautiful woman smiled and said, "Please sit inside, just a freshly baked meat bun, buy one for the doll to eat." ”

The middle-aged man pointed at the donkey's back in embarrassment and said, "Is it okay for me to exchange two buns with you with a quarter of the firewood?" ”

"Where's the word, if you're tight, you can give money later, who doesn't have a time to be embarrassed, right?" The woman laughed.

As for her man, not a word.

"Thank you, thank you, you've met your nobleman." The middle-aged man put the child off his back.

The woman looked outside the courtyard and said, "Is it just the two of you?" ”

"Yes, this hellish weather, if it's not for a living, who likes to go out...... Yes! ”

The middle-aged man screamed at this point and fell in a pool of blood.

After hearing "no one else", the burly shopkeeper immediately slashed the kitchen knife in his hand on the middle-aged man's neck. The boy's father lost his life in an instant.

The little boy didn't even cry, but his eyes widened and his mouth trembled slightly. He was thinking: This is the danger that Daddy said.

Immediately after, the little boy also fell in a pool of blood, because his neck was still thin, so after being stabbed, his head and body were only connected a little.

After cutting down the two of them, the beautiful woman wiped away the blood splashed on her face and said angrily: "So anxious, in the future, when the old lady speaks, she will wait for me to finish, and no one urges you, make it so rough, and blood is splashed everywhere!" ”

The man shrugged awkwardly: "It's okay, I'll take care of it, Erniang, don't be angry." ”

"Hurry up, a few stalls in the city have ordered a large number of buns waiting to be delivered. This is the season to get rich. Then the woman turned to go in.

The man pointed to the donkey carrying firewood and said, "Do you want to kill the donkey too, otherwise there will not be enough meat." ”

"It's okay to kill, and someone else will come. Good donkey, why did you kill it? The woman said.

The man scratched his head and said, "Everyone has been killed, why do you keep the donkey?" ”

The woman said: "Pig brains, people must die before they can be sold, of course it is convenient to kill." However, donkeys can be sold and can work, so you might as well be a donkey! ”

The man couldn't help grinning, feeling that Erniang was a great wise man, and he could always get to the point when he spoke......

Early in the morning, Wang Yan's chest was blocked, and he planned to go to the rice noodle stall to feed Sima Xiaohua with medicine. But there was bad news: something happened in Taihu County.

Because Ma Jinxi's current protection fee business is not limited to Shuzhou City, it has expanded to Shuzhou, and the first phase of the "attack" target is Taihu County.

Since there is always a conflict of interest. There is no pressure to fight with the ruffians in Taihu County, but the problem is that there are not only gangsters in Taihu County, but also some half-black businessmen, and a group of black police. Then the behavior of Ma Jinsi and others is tantamount to "grabbing land". There will be conflicts.

So yesterday evening came the news that Ma Jinxi's four subordinates were caught by Hu Dutou in Taihu County. Therefore, it is necessary for Xiao Wang Yanai to settle down.

"Those guys are not very useful, I have long seen that they are not pleasing to the eye, since crossing the river and demolishing the bridge is our purpose. In order to avoid getting into trouble, the lowly suggestion is to pretend not to know them and give up? Ma Jinsi very wittily encouraged.

As a result, he was kicked a few times by Wang Yan, "Although they are obscene, they are our comrades, don't give up casually, people will give you face to help you work, don't stand by if something happens." Otherwise, how will I mix in the future? Who will dare to trust you in the future? ”

Ma Jinsi suddenly looked enthusiastic.

"Difficulties are meant to be solved." Wang Yan said with a little kid behind his back, "They didn't break the law, and now they have been detained for no reason, in order to maintain the justice of the law and the right way in the world, and save the earth, of course we have to go and see if there is any misunderstanding." ”

"Wise in the Yanai!" Ma Jinsi said loudly.

So there we set off.

Wang Yan has to go and see what is the mentality of the "civil servants" in Taihu County? Or maybe the county lord didn't know about this, and it was the behavior of the people below who distributed the spoils unevenly. This possibility is very high, the officials and officials of the Great Song Dynasty are two kinds of people, two sets of rules. There are policies and countermeasures, in fact, this is the situation of the Great Song Dynasty. Or it is also called the county official is not as good as the county management.

Even if it is the meaning of the county lord, it is not a big problem, and Wang Yan is not afraid of the lawsuit when it comes to Sima Guang, the state government. It's just that there is no need to make trouble to this point, maybe there is really a misunderstanding, go and see the situation, it is not difficult to settle it in theory......

I was speechless and asked the sky. It's good to go out in such a ghost weather and go to Taihu County to do errands.

Wang Yan was dressed like a woolly bear, walking in the snow on his own, full of anger and thinking: Those dogs in Taihu County who don't have eyes, just because you arrested my people, I went out to accept the cold, and after I went, the master will definitely make you regret being a man.

Now that there is a shortage of manpower, Lao Liao is on a business trip with the Great Demon King again, so the bodyguard for this trip is Ma Jinxi.

In addition, the donkey Xiaobao carried the two girls together, and also walked in the ice and snow. Erya just wanted to follow, and she said she didn't want to leave Dayan.

Wang Yan knew that Erya was under pressure, and she mainly didn't want to stay at home alone. Although no one in the family abuses her, there is always a gap, and she likes the feeling of being by the side of the big bird. Well, although she is often slapped on the back of the head by Da Yan, Da Yan said that beating is distressing and scolding is love. Little Lori thinks her brother is a caring guy.

"Erya, are you cold?" As he walked, Wang Yan asked.

"It's not cold, it's just a little hungry." Wang Xiaoya, who was dressed like a woolly bear, said.

Wang Yan was like a little monkey, there was no sun, and he also put his hand in front of his forehead to look at it, and pointed: "There is cooking smoke in front, let's go eat something, rest our feet and then hurry." ”

"Whew." Xiaobao the donkey suddenly protested.

However, the donkey has no human rights and ignores its protests.
