Chapter VIII Linqing Prison Military Office
"It's snowing!"
With the shouts of pedestrians on the street, goose feathers and snow drifted in the gray sky.
They fluttered like catkins in the sky, and after a while, a thick layer was covered on the rooftop street, and the roadside vendors packed up their goods and went home.
Hearing the noise outside the mansion, Chu Suifeng, who was sitting in the west room of the Director's Mansion, drinking tea, looked at Liu Kecheng and smiled.
After being caught by the soldiers guarding the city at the gate of the city, Chu Suifeng once again exerted his wit and directly recited the military regulations of the Ming army. Where Wen was, they were brought here.
The military mansion of the director is a "front hall and back bed" type five-entry courtyard, the hanging flower door and the inverted seat room constitute the front yard, the hall and the east and west five wings constitute the second courtyard, and then a hanging flower door and the hall constitute the third courtyard, and then the main house and the east and west seven wings constitute the main courtyard, and then the back cover room.
Chu Suifeng and Liu Kecheng are now in the third west room of the second courtyard.
They had been here for a while, saying that they would meet them later, but they didn't even see each other's hair after two hours, and when they asked the servant, they only said that the prison was busy meeting some adults in the hall.
Chu Suifeng and Liu Kecheng couldn't either, and after chatting for a while, the two had to drink hot tea and wait.
Squeak.
As the carved vermilion lacquer door was pushed open, a butler-like figure stepped in.
"Where are Ma Rusong and Liu Kecheng from Qinghe?"
The cold wind wrapped in snowflakes poured in instantly, blowing the candles on the candlesticks flickering and dimming, and the two black shadows on the white walls kept changing in large and small ways.
"The little ones are." Liu Kecheng hurriedly stood up and rushed to the people with a smile on his face.
Although Chu Suifeng was not famous, many people knew his name when he entered Qinghe that day, so he changed his name and surname.
The man glanced at Chu Suifeng and Liu Kecheng, and beckoned expressionlessly.
"Come with me, Grandpa Gao wants to see you."
Chu Suifeng's eyes lit up, and he said in his heart that he had finally waited!
It was this person who killed Governor Lu and 5,000 children from the northwest; It was this person who damaged the reputation of Governor Lu and the Tianxiong Army!
Suddenly, the anger in his heart reached the extreme, and the idea of killing the other party and finishing it together flashed, but he then denied this idea, so although it was happy, the mission of delivering the letter failed, and it confirmed the charge that Lu Xiangsheng and their Tianxiong army violated the general's order to enter alone.
Thinking of this, Chu Suifeng forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart, and Liu Kecheng walked out with the housekeeper.
As soon as he went out, he and Liu Kecheng were stunned.
The porches and the entrance to the hall are filled with heavily armed soldiers!
When they came in, they were obviously just soap-clothed maids and colorful silk maids who were laughing and laughing, but in the blink of an eye, they were replaced by murderous Ming soldiers with spears, swords and shields.
In the blink of an eye, it was already clear that the other party was setting up a dragon gate array to kill them, and the meaning was obvious: here he is the boss!
Liu Kecheng and Chu Suifeng looked at each other and smiled bitterly, while the housekeeper who led the way in front was even more proud, his head was like a big white goose that "sang to the sky", and his landing steps became more powerful, making the snow on the ground creak.
In a few moments, the three of them arrived at the door of the hall.
After the butler reported outside, a duck-like voice came from inside.
"Come in."
Chu Suifeng and Liu Kecheng hurriedly sorted out their clothes and pushed the door in.
As soon as I entered the room, I felt that the light was unusually bright, and there was a half-human-high bronze candlestick in each of the four corners of the house, and the arm-thick candles on it illuminated the room.
On the wall facing the door in the room hangs a splashed ink painting of the king of beasts, and the eye-catching insect in the painting is vivid, as if it is about to pounce and bite people.
Under the painting is a delicately carved mahogany coffee table, two mahogany Taishi chairs are separated by a few against the wall, flanked by four mahogany chairs that have been prepared for a long time, and behind the chairs are several groups of colorful screens painted with splashed ink landscapes and maids.
The splashed ink landscape is thick and fine, the brushwork is strong, and the lines are extremely smooth, and I don't see whose handwriting it is.
The ladies' painting is modeled after Tang Bohu's "Mengshu Palace Prostitute Picture", in which the four singing and dancing palace maids are putting on makeup and waiting for the king to call and serve.
They wore golden lotus crowns on their heads and Taoist robes decorated with clouds. The face is rouge, the body is plump and graceful, and the mood is dignified and charming.
The artistic conception of the time is vividly outlined.
In front of the screen stood a man in his forties, white-faced and beardless, who was looking at Chu Suifeng and Liu Kecheng who entered the room with his eyebrows in his eyes.
"Liu Kecheng, a subordinate of the hundred households in Qinghe Prefecture, has seen the senior supervisor!" Seeing this, Liu Kecheng immediately bent over and bowed.
Chu Suifeng symbolically arched his hand towards the other party, and then looked at the other party's clothes.
I saw that the other party was wearing a drag, with a collar, the right side, the back placket was cut up and down, the front placket was two, the waist was made of horse face pleats, there were double hems on the left and right sides, and the pleats were from the middle to the left and right sides.
The length of the body is from the knee to the calf, and the body is decorated with patches and sleeve and knee patterns.
Gao Qiqian glanced at the two of them with a calm face, ignored Liu Kecheng, and said coldly to Chu Suifeng.
"You, come over here."
This made Chu Suifeng and Liu Kecheng a little surprised, and Chu Suifeng, who was confused, walked over with a hard head.
When I got to the front of me, I could see the other party more clearly, this person had knife eyebrows, eagle eyes, a gutter nose, thin lips, and nasolabial folds between the mouth and nose were very obvious, which made people feel very uncomfortable.
When Chu Suifeng looked at the other party, the other party was also looking at him, and those eagle-like eyes swept over.
"What's your name?"
The tone is quite cold!
Syllable!
At this moment, the door of the hall was violently blown open by the wind, and the candles in the room were instantly blown out by the wind.
It's pitch black!
Golden opportunity!
The original idea of killing Gao Qiqian was rekindled, and a trace of murderous intent flashed in Chu Suifeng's eyes.
Rustling.
A few sound of Sisuo's footsteps from behind the screen made Chu Suifeng give up the idea just now, and there was actually a person hidden in the screen behind him after he raised his head!
There is a trick hidden!
"In Xiaqinghe Town, there are 100 households of Ma Rusong." Chu Suifeng's heart was shocked, and he lowered his head and replied.
By this time, the servants outside the house had come in and turned on the lamp.
The wind and snow outside blew on the beautifully carved lacquer doors and red windows, like the wind blowing pine waves.
"Ma Rusong?" A hint of suspicion flashed in Gao Qiqian's eyes, he glanced at Chu Suifeng and Liu Kecheng vigilantly, and saw that there were no flaws in the two, so he raised his hand and motioned for the two to go to the seat to drink tea.
Chu Suifeng's heart suddenly jumped back and glanced at Liu Kecheng, and when he saw the other party nodding at him secretly, he knew that the other party also heard the footsteps behind the screen.
When Yao Wenchang came, he repeatedly told them to be careful of high diving, Chu Suifeng was still a little careless, and at this moment he understood how difficult the person in front of him was.
Just as I was thinking about it, I heard a low voice over there.
"Sit, why are you still standing?"
When he looked up, he was already seated, and the servants were pouring steaming hot white tea into the tea set on the coffee table next to the three.
After a while, the aroma in the house was overflowing, and judging from the smell and color, it was a high-grade oolong tea.
Seeing Gao Qiqian urging Liu Kecheng, who was smiling all over his face, he picked the lowest seat on the left and sat with his buttocks slanted, but Chu Suifeng didn't care and picked the first place on the right next to Gao Qiqian, and sat down and picked up the tea, which attracted Gao Qiqian and Liu Kecheng to look at him sideways for a long time.
Gao Qiqian, who had a gloomy face, picked up the blue and white teacup, blew the white foam floating on the water, and asked with a pun.
"How has Mr. Liu's appetite been lately?"
Liu Kecheng, whose face was red, his eyelids jumped a few times, and he hurriedly smiled shyly.
"Father-in-law's Fu, Mr. Liu is very good, no more than three bowls of corn every day."
The corners of his mouth were raised by 30 degrees, and he said with a smile.
"When you came, did you explain it above? You're going to have to get along with the other brothers, you know? ”
The tone was quite mean and tricky, but Chu Suifeng and Liu Kecheng didn't seem to hear it, and nodded yes again and again.
After talking for a while, seeing that there was no flaw, the other party waved his hand impatiently at the two, Chu Suifeng and Liu Kecheng hurriedly got up and said goodbye.
When the two of them opened the door and the door, there was a sudden sound of high hidden shadows behind them.
"Chu Suifeng!"
