On the east street of Qingzhou mansions, the bluestone road extends straight to the end of the sight, leading to the east gate, the government of Qingzhou County is erected next to the road, and two stone lion statues are placed on the left and right sides of the door, each squatting on the base of the carved pattern, and a round stone ball is pressed under the huge claws. The head of the lion is wide and round, and the eyes of the god shoot a sharp and majestic gaze, which is terrifying. The stone lion is a kind of Rui beast, which can relieve a variety of forms of evil, and also strengthen the yang energy of the official authority or the owner of the house, so many large families have placed a pair at the door.

The vermilion lacquer gate of the mansion, the copper nails the size of the teacup on the door are shining, and the plaque on the top of the door reads "Four Bright" four gold lacquer characters, and the iron painting silver hook is extraordinary. At the door, there stood four men in full gear, each with a straight waist and a hand on the hilt of a sword, showing a heroic spirit.

Chen Yi and others walked in Qingzhou County, in front of them and behind them were the faces of Han people who were either long, elegant, fresh, or sophisticated, with sparkling cars and horses, and the voices of people were boiling, and there was a faint penetrating shout of the traders not far away, and occasionally there was a long neighing of horses, "Childe, there is an inn in front." Everyone led the horses to the bottom of the inn, and the little two at the door smiled and took the reins in the hands of several people and tied the horses to the stable.

On both sides of the street are teahouses, taverns, pawnshops, workshops. There are also many small vendors with large umbrellas in the open spaces on both sides of the street. The streets stretch east and west to the quieter suburbs outside the city, but the streets are still full of pedestrians: there are people who carry burdens, there are people who drive ox carts to make deliveries, there are people who drive donkeys to pull wagons, and there are houses on both sides, tea houses, wine shops, foot shops, butcher shops, and ...... Wait a minute.

Chen Yi and the others stopped at an inn, and Xiao Er, who was standing at the door to greet him, saw that a guest was coming, and hurriedly walked to the side of the road, took the reins of the horse in the hands of Chen Yi and said with a smile: "A few guest officers, please." ”

The innkeeper was on the counter, bowed his head and heard footsteps, hurriedly raised his head, saw Chen Yi walking towards him, walked out of the counter, with a smile on his face, and said with a smile: "How many guest officers eat or stay in the hotel?" ”

"We stay in the hotel."

"It's a misfortune that our inn only has two upper rooms, you see?" The boss looked at the four people wearing masks, and secretly thought in his heart, could the few people in front of him be Jiangnan thieves wanted by the government, and couldn't help but shudder when he thought of this.

Liu Yiyi said with a smile: "The boss has two rooms, it doesn't matter, we can live and serve us some delicious meals." He took out the scattered and trivial silver from his body and handed it to the boss.

After putting the accompanying items in the room, several people walked down from the second floor, found a place, and sat down.

Chen Yi lowered his head and said to Yan Wu: "Boy, don't play any tricks, otherwise don't blame us for being unkind to you, in case you have one less ear, but cut your arm, don't blame us." ”

When Yan Wu heard this, he wanted to cut off his arms and ears, and he was so frightened that he hurriedly nodded and said, "Childe, even if you lend me a hundred guts, I won't dare." ”

"Childe's dishes are ready, please use it slowly." Xiao Er slowly put the last dish on the table, looking at the mussels on the table, there are mapo tofu, spicy chicken, fairy duck..., a total of eight dishes and one soup. Each dish is fragrant. Chen Yi swallowed his saliva, and couldn't wait to pick up the chopsticks and eat them, not fat or greasy, the entrance was smooth, the umami and fragrance paralyzed everyone's nerves, and everyone devoured them. Liu Yiyi is like a fairy who does not eat the smoke of the world, chewing and eating slowly with the vegetables in front of her.

Chen Yi saw very few vegetables every time. The dishes far away from me are embarrassed to clip, and the opportunity is not much, and I don't make a little sound when I eat. Drink the soup with a spoon and drink it in small sips, I couldn't help but sigh in my heart, asked Xiao Er for a pair of chopsticks, and put the dishes she didn't catch into the bowl, and handed it to Liu Yiyi, Liu Yiyi took it shyly, blushed, lowered her head, only thanked her softly, lowered her head, put a strange light in her eyes, smiled, raised her head, and secretly glanced at Chen Yi.

A fat woman, pinching the man's ear, yelled, "What are you looking at? Look at me gouging out your eyes again, see how people treat their own wives, how you don't learn more like others. The man said weakly: "Lady, I don't dare anymore." After Liu Yiyi heard the woman's words, her face turned even redder, like a ripe apple.

At night, there are no stars and moons, and you can't see your five fingers. Chen Yi was dressed in night clothes, jumped from the window, and disappeared into the night in the blink of an eye. In the Qingzhou Mansion, the guards held torches and carefully patrolled every corner of the courtyard. They could never have imagined that there was an uninvited guest on their lord's house.

Chen Yi carefully removed the tiles on the eaves with both hands, and found that there was no one in the brightly lit house, and after closing the tiles from the new, he jumped down from the roof, pushed open the window, sneaked in, and closed the window casually. The silver stands around it, lit with tall candles, illuminated the whole room.

In the room, there is a large case of pear marble, on which there are various celebrity legal texts, and dozens of treasure inkstones, various color pen holders, and pens inserted in the sea of pens are like woods. On that side, there is a big Ru kiln flower sac, and a bag full of crystal balls is inserted in the white chrysanthemum. On the west wall, there is a picture of Mi Xiangyang's "Smoke and Rain", and there is a couplet on the left and right, which is Yan Lugong's ink, and its word cloud: Yanxia idle bones, Quanshiye career. There is a big tripod on the case. On the left red sandalwood shelf is a large plate of a large official kiln, which contains dozens of delicate yellow and exquisite Buddha's hands. Chen Yi flipped through the things on the table casually, looked at it a few times and put it back in place, pulled the bouquet out of the pen holder again, looked at the core of the pen holder, and the roll up silver ticket was hidden in the core of the barrel, and scolded in his heart, what a dog official, a small county order was greedy so much, the silver tickets added up to about 10,000 taels, Chen Yi put the silver ticket in his arms.

"Master Qian, please come inside." Chen Yi heard footsteps and talking outside the door, and hurriedly inserted the bouquet back and hid behind.

With a squeak, the door was pushed open, and Chen Yi heard footsteps, and walked in from outside the room one after the other, not daring to poke his head out, so he had to listen carefully with his ears pricked up.

"My lord, this is the letter brought by the big boss of Qinglong Mountain this time, this is a little bit of his meaning." After Master Qian finished speaking, he took out a stack of silver tickets from his arms, put the silver tickets in his hands and handed them to the county order. Chen Yi secretly poked out half of his head from behind, looking at the silver ticket in Master Qian's hand, good guy, at least six or seven hundred taels of silver. The county commander said reluctantly: "Aren't you embarrassed by this official? His eyes were greedily staring at the silver ticket in his master's hand.

"Qingzhou is under the governance of adults, so that the people can live and work in peace and contentment, since there is a silver ticket sent to the door, you can accept it."

The county commander took the letter on his left, stretched out his right hand forward, and said with a smile: "The official reluctantly accepted it." The county magistrate took the silver ticket in his arms and opened the letter to look at it.

With a tense face, he said coldly in a low voice: "Who is so bold that he dares to rob the beloved son of the great master of Qinglong Mountain, it is simply a loss of conscience, the master will send out all the yamen in the mansion from tomorrow to investigate, and if they are found, the official will be rewarded." ”

"By the way, don't startle the snake."

"Yes, my lord, then you should rest early, and your subordinates will retire first." Master Qian was about to leave, turned around and said, "My lord, what should Li Mansheng and Zhang Jingyu do?" The county magistrate thought for a moment and said: "Since the two of them don't know what to do, let them keep this secret forever, and don't let go of the old and the young." Master Qian said gloomily: "Don't worry, my lord, my subordinates will go." Chen Yi secretly rejoiced, fortunately the evening came, but he didn't expect the county order of Qingzhou County to be an out-and-out brute.

There was a loud voice outside the door: "Master, master." When Chen Yi heard this, goosebumps straightened all over his body.
