The snow is like a bead of powder, pouring down silently like a waterfall, and the world is vast, which makes people involuntarily produce a sense of loneliness. Li Yuliang strolled quietly through the streets of Beijing, turning a blind eye to the bustling streets of the capital, and turning a deaf ear to the clamor of the vendors and children, as if she was the only one left in the world, leaving only the endless pouring snow; The biting cold wind blew on her godless face, as cool and quiet as the well water that night, so unforgettable......

"Oh! Hey! Oh hahaha——! The strange and cruel laughter kept echoing in Li Yuliang's ears, and he couldn't get rid of it. Li Yuliang couldn't help but think of the tragedy of that night, the nightmare that had haunted her for more than six years. It was in the middle of the night when the mountain wind was howling, and the door of her house was suddenly smashed, snatching away her family's ancestral pair of white marble horses, and she was so frightened that she shrunk into the quilt and did not dare to look out, but even so, she was wrapped in a quilt and thrown into the well in the backyard. If it weren't for the fact that her upper body happened to fall on a bluestone in the well, I am afraid that she would have drowned alive, but the coldness of the well water, the screams of her parents when they were dying, and the cruel laughter have been forever engraved in the depths of her soul and repeated in her nightmares forever......

Unconsciously, Li Yuliang had aimlessly walked to the vicinity of the Hufang Bridge where the common people lived, and a team of officers and soldiers escorting the prisoners came head-on, Li Yuliang was in a state of confusion at the moment, and he didn't want to make any extraneous branches, so he obediently let the ordinary people go to the side of the road, but as soon as she returned to the gods, the discussion of the people in the capital got into her ears, "I didn't expect it, Wang Shangshu turned out to be a big corrupt official." "Yes, Wang Shangshu's family usually eats some green vegetables and tofu, and the family is dressed in cloth clothes, if I don't see it with my own eyes, I can't believe his corrupt officials at all." "What did you see with your own eyes?" "Silver ticket! There are dozens of genuine Jufeng silver tickets, all sewn into the quilt! "Haha, I'll just say, how can he not be greedy when he Wang Xu is the head of the household department who is in charge of money and food?"

"Wang Xu?" Li Yuliang was in a hurry, when Wu Ciyou was still living in Suo Etu's house, Li Yuliang once heard Wu Ciyou tell the story of the first Qing official in Beijing, but Wu Ciyou lived with himself, and he didn't believe that Wang Xu was really as honest as he looked, and suspected that Wang Xu was just a donkey egg hanging frost - the surface was light, but behind the scenes, it should be a male thief and a female prostitute who embezzled and accepted bribes and did all kinds of evil. Thinking of this, Li Yuliang couldn't help but say in his heart: "Mr. Wu is really like a god, this Wang Xu is really not a good thing!" ”

"Wronged——!" In the prisoner car, Wang Xu shook the wooden cage of the prisoner car, with tears in his eyes, and shouted hoarsely: "Fellow villagers, I, Wang Xu, have been wronged, the quilt is not mine, it has been changed!" I, Wang Xu, can swear to God that I have never embezzled a penny! ”

Wang Xu's expression was sad, his words were sincere, and with his tattered cotton clothes with patches and patches, his appearance was even more tear-jerking. But Tai Bitu, the servant of the criminal department who escorted the prisoner car, has always been at odds with him - Wang Xu is basically at odds with the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, so Tai Bitu immediately took out a thick stack of silver tickets, brandished the silver tickets and shouted: "Wang Xu dog thief, don't pretend, the evidence of your corruption and bribery has been taken by me, you wait to kill your head and rob your home!" ”

"That's someone framed me! My quilt has been replaced. Wang Xu tearfully defended. Tai Bitu replied with a sneer: "You can talk about this in Dali Temple, and say it in front of the emperor!" As he spoke, Taibitu glanced at the soldiers who were escorting, and the soldiers who were escorting the prisoner cart immediately dispersed, while the soldiers who maintained order on the periphery retreated. The people were already indignant when they saw the evidence of Wang Xu's corruption and bribery, and when they saw that the soldiers were exposed, they stepped forward one after another to smash Wang Xu with stones, snowballs, rotten vegetables and other objects, until Wang Xu's whole body was dirty and he wanted to cry without tears.

"Dog corrupt officials!" Li Yuliang also hated corrupt officials very much, pinched up a snowball and threw it at Wang Xu, she had learned martial arts regardless of accuracy and strength were far above ordinary people, and the snowball thrown accurately smashed on Wang Xu's nose, and immediately smashed Wang Xu's nose with a splash, and Wang Xu hissed in pain, arousing a round of applause. But what Li Yuliang didn't expect was that the next snowball flew out from behind her, and it was more accurate and ruthless than hers, and it actually hit Wang Xu's mouth directly, and directly drilled into Wang Xu's throat.

"Senior brother?" Li Yuliang recognized at a glance that the technique of throwing snowballs came from the main door, and when he looked back, he saw Hu Gongshan standing on the corner of the street smiling and waving to her. In other words, if Li Yuliang met his senior brother on the street, he would definitely happily greet him and greet him, but today is very different, Li Yuliang hesitated for a long time, until Hu Gongshan repeatedly beckoned to invite him, Li Yuliang hesitated and slowly passed, and said in a low voice: "Yun Niang has seen Senior Brother, Senior Brother's secret weapon technique is really getting more and more sophisticated, and it is more than 20 zhang away, and it can still be accurate." ”

"There, there, my brother just hates the corrupt officials, so he moves his hands like divine help." After the various branches of the Jufeng Silver were confiscated by the imperial court, Hu Gongshan, who took 60,000 taels of Jufeng Silver Silver tickets of unknown origin to Wang Xu to exchange cash for cash, was rejected with a righteous smile, as if he had just done a good deed to serve the country loyally. At the same time, Li Yuliang's dejected look did not escape Hu Gongshan's eyes, but Hu Gongshan misunderstood the reason for Li Yuliang's loss, and persuaded Li Yuliang softly: "Senior sister, where is there no grass at the end of the world?" Mr. Wu and Miss Su Ma are in love, they are a match made in heaven, and now the emperor has given them marriage, and you don't have to be too sad, junior sister. Wait for the help of the saint to cut off the old thief, junior sister, you have achieved fame, are you afraid that you will not be able to find a wishful man? ”

"The emperor gave marriage to Brother Wu and Aunt Su Mala today?" Hu Gongshan's words were like a thunderbolt from the blue sky, falling into Li Yuliang's already broken heart, shattering one of Li Yuliang's hearts. After a long time, Li Yuliang smiled miserably and said, "Yes, I should forget Mr. Wu, I don't want him anymore." Although Li Yuliang smiled on his face, his smile was more ugly than crying, Hu Gongshan saw it and hurriedly asked, "Senior sister, are you okay?" You must not be too sad, Senior Brother still depends on you for a lot of things. ”

"I'm fine." Li Yuliang wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, Li Yuliang was afraid that he would lose his temper again, so he changed the topic and asked Hu Gongshan: "Senior brother, why aren't you on an errand in the palace today?" Why did you come to this Hufang Bridge alone? ”

"Monk Geng Jingzhong's gratifying tribute team is here, and it is stationed outside this Xuanwu Gate." Hu Gongshan pointed to the Xuanwu Gate near the Hufang Bridge, and said with a gloomy face: "Brother Wei received information that Wu Yingxiong's dog thief will go to the vicinity of Xuanwu Gate to meet Geng Jimei and Shang Zhizhi after noon. Speaking of this, Hu Gongshan asked Li Yuliang rhetorically: "Senior sister, for my brother, please get close to Wu Yingxiong's dog thief and try to steal the secret letter hidden in his chest, do you want to do it?" ”

"I went to do it, but it failed." Li Yuliang didn't lie, he lowered his head and hesitated for a long time before replying: "Wu Yingxiong's dog thief is very cunning, when I approached him under the cover of Miss Zhaohui, several of his relatives aimed their guns at me, so I didn't dare to make a move." ”

"Then Wu Yingxiong is very lustful, why don't you use beauty tricks?" Hu Gongshan blurted out. Seeing Li Yuliang's angry face, Hu Gongshan hurriedly hammered his head and smiled: "Senior brother is really confused, what kind of thing has Wu Yingxiong calculated, and it is also worthy of my junior sister's beauty trick?" Senior sister, you must forgive your brother for his unintentional mistake. ”

"Second Senior Brother doesn't have to care, Senior Sister's martial arts are passed down by Second Senior Brother on behalf of the teacher, how dare you blame Second Senior Brother?" Li Yuliang replied lightly. Although Li Yuliang's expression and tone were very abnormal today, Hu Gongshan believed that it was Li Yuliang who learned the news of Wu Ciyou and Su Malagu's engagement, and was hit to become like this, and did not think about it elsewhere. Seeing that it was almost noon, Hu Gongshan hurriedly instructed Li Yuliang: "Senior sister, let's do this, you go to the second floor of Hexian Building to wait for senior brother first, senior brother will go to you after finishing his business, and I may ask you for help tonight." With that, Hu Gongshan left in a hurry.

…… Let's watch the History and Military Channel of Literature Network, more exciting content is waiting for you! ……

Li Yuliang, who was devastated, hesitated for a long time in place, and finally walked slowly to the Hexian Building in Xicheng, Beijing, and asked for a few drinks and dishes in the restaurant to borrow wine to drown his sorrows, but before Li Yuliang finished drinking a pot of wine, Hu Gongshan had already come in with a wooden box. Li Yuliang put down his wine glass and said strangely: "Senior brother, didn't you go to spy on Wu Yingxiong's secret conversation with Geng Jingzhong and Shang Kexi?" Why did you come back so soon? ”

"What a Wu Yingxiong, really treacherous enough!" Hu Gongshan replied angrily: "He asked Geng Jimei and Shang Zhizhi to meet in the drunken building, this morning I finally replaced all the guys in the drunken building with my people, and a secret whistle was also arranged on the beams of the house." thought it was foolproof, but who knew that he didn't go to the drunken building at all, but chartered a private restaurant in Feeding Eagle Hutong, and temporarily changed the location of the secret conversation there! All my arrangements have come to naught, and now Heying Hutong is heavily guarded by his guards and Geng Jimei and Shang Zhizhi's guards, not to mention others, even I can't get close. I had no choice but to give up on my plan to spy on their secret conversations. ”

"Wu Yingxiong's treachery is indeed beyond the reach of ordinary people." Li Yuliang, who had suffered a big loss under Wu Yuanming's conspiracy, gritted his teeth and replied, agreeing with Hu Gongshan's point of view from the bottom of his heart. Li Yuliang pointed to Hu Gongshan and asked again, holding the exquisite wooden box, "Senior brother, what are you holding?" ”

"Today, the emperor gave Mr. Wu and Miss Su Ma a marriage, which is a gift I am going to give to them." Hu Gongshan replied with some embarrassment, Wu Ciyou and Su Malagu are both big celebrities in front of Kangxi and Xiaozhuang, and if Hu Gongshan wants to continue to be promoted and make a fortune, he naturally has to pat their ass. And Li Yuliang's heart was like a knife, and he couldn't help but pour another glass of wine and drink it all, and tears leached out of the corners of his eyes. Hu Gongshan patted her on the shoulder and said softly, "Senior sister, I want to open some." ”

"Senior brother, I'm fine......." Li Yuliang choked up. Hu Gongshan sighed, took Li Yuliang's hand and said, "Senior sister, let's go together to congratulate Mr. Wu, Mr. Wu misses you very much, and I may want to ask you for help in the evening." ”

"I'm not going." Li Yuliang was in great pain and refused Hu Gongshan's request. But under the life of Hu Gongshan, Li Yuliang was still pulled down from the Drunken Immortal Tower, pulled up to the carriage of Baiyun Temple, and reluctantly embarked on the journey to congratulate Wu Ciyou and Su Mala.

When I arrived at the Shangu store outside the Baiyun Temple in western Beijing, it was already the afternoon of Shenshi, Wu Ciyou and Su Malagu were playing the piano and enjoying the snow on the pond island in the pond in the courtyard, and they heard that Hu Gongshan and Li Yuliang were happy, Wu Ciyou and Su Malagu hurriedly returned to the room to receive them, and asked the shopkeeper He Guizhu, that is, the original slave of Wu Ciyou's family, to send a table of exquisite wine and food, and the four of them drank and talked freely in the room.

"Mr. Wu and Sister Su Ma are very happy to get engaged, Hu Gongshan is late to congratulate him, and he hopes to forgive his sins." Although Hu Gongshan is in his forties, he called the teenage Aunt Su Mala to be his sister without blushing, presented the exquisite wooden box with both hands, and said humbly: "It's just a small courtesy, not a respect, and I hope that Mr. Wu and Sister Su Ma will not dislike it." ”

"Doctor Hu is so polite, if you say that you are giving a thin gift, then no one dares to believe it." Wu Ciyou smiled politely and politely, but took the wooden box honestly and unceremoniously and handed it to Aunt Su Mala next to him. Wu Ciyou asked: "Imperial Doctor Hu, what did you gain by going to monitor the secret talks of the three clans today?" ”

"Alas, don't mention it, then Wu Yingxiong is really treacherous." Hu Gongshan sighed, and said again that his careful arrangement was easily resolved by Wu Yuanming. Wu Ciyou was naturally disappointed when he heard this, shook his head and said: "It's a pity, it's a pity, the three feudatories have a secret talk, Wu Yingxiong's dog thief will reveal the amount of military salaries that Yunnan really needs to Geng and Shang, and now we have to pin our hopes on that secret letter." ”

"Yes, Yun Niang's action to get close to Wu Yuanming to steal the secret letter also failed." Hu Gongshan echoed casually: "No way, I had to take a risk to go to Wu Yingxiong's mansion tonight and go to his bedroom to steal the letter." ”

"Wu Yingxiong is extremely cunning, and he is greedy for life and afraid of death, the family must be heavily guarded, and Imperial Doctor Hu must be careful." Wu Ciyou hypocritically instructed Hu Gongshan. Hu Gongshan also replied hypocritically: "To serve the emperor and the empress dowager, Hu Gongshan will not say goodbye even if he is broken." Saying that, Hu Gongshan pointed to Li Yuliang, who had been bowing his head and silent after entering the room, and said: "But I have asked my junior sister Li Yunniang to help, she is very familiar with Wu Yingxiong's family, and her own martial arts are also passable, our senior brothers and sisters work together, and we will definitely be able to obtain the secret letter of Wu Sangui for the imperial court." ”

"Brother and sister working together? I'm afraid that you want your junior sister to be a pathfinder to test whether Wu Yingxiong's family has an ambush, right? Wu Ciyou sneered in his heart. But Wu Ciyou did not expose Hu Gongshan's intentions in person, but smiled at Li Yuliang and said, "Miss Yunniang, I will work for you in this way." Wu Sangui's secret letter is very important, please help Imperial Doctor Hu get that secret letter for the sake of the people of the world. ”

"Mr. Wu, rest assured, Yun Niang will do her best." Li Yuliang replied with his head down. How important is the secret letter that Wu Sangui gave to Wu Yingxiong, on the way here, Hu Gongshan has repeatedly explained to Li Yuliang, and Li Yuliang also agreed to help Hu Gongshan. At this time, Su Malagu suddenly exclaimed softly: "What a beautiful white jade horse! ”

"White jade horse?" Li Yu's conscience was shocked, but she still didn't look up, afraid that she would cry when she saw Wu Ciyou and Su Malagu's affectionate appearance. Wu Ciyou exclaimed: "Imperial Doctor Hu, the gift you gave is so precious, Wu Ciyou deserves such a heavy gift?" ”

"Mr. Wu is too polite, it's just a jade horse, how precious is it?" Hu Gongshan said politely. Wu Ciyou said excitedly: "Why isn't it precious? Imperial Doctor Hu, if Wu Ciyou didn't guess wrong, this white jade horse should be a pair, right? ”

"It's a couple, but there's one more quilt...... I accidentally broke it. Hu Gongshan said vaguely. Wu Ciyou believed it to be true, slapped his legs and shouted pity, "It's a pity, this pair of white marble horses is not a mortal thing, when Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, swore to kill the white horse, and made an appointment with his subordinates that Liu was not allowed to be crowned king; But at that time, there was a king of Changsha Wu Rui with a different surname, in order not to let Wu Rui misunderstand the oath of the white horse and give birth to a different heart, Han Gaozu gave this pair of white jade horses to Wu Rui to appease, and reiterated that Wu Rui can be hereditary king of Changsha later, and later after Wu Rui's death, this pair of white jade horses became his burial object, until four hundred years later in the Three Kingdoms period, Wu Rui's tomb was dug by the Eastern Wu rebellion, and the white jade horse saw the light of day! It's a priceless treasure! ”

"How precious is it?" Hu Gongshan opened his mouth wide, and regretted giving away such a treasure as a congratulatory gift. But what he didn't notice was that his junior sister Li Yuliang had already raised her head and stared intently at the lonely white marble horse......
