Chapter 12: The Corpse of the Water Woman (I)

After rushing for a few days in a row, Li Yan and Cha Xiaodao didn't feel it, but Cao Yongchang couldn't bear it.

It's really not a delicate child, it's not a person who is the second master of Cha Li.

The heavy snow blocked the mountain, and they still had to catch the car, and they kept closing the mountain and driving all the time.

What's even more evil is that on the road in the past few days, it can be called a tiger and a bear on the road, flying snow and killing people.

The rare beasts in the deep mountains and old forests made the three of them encounter them all over again.

The wild boar of more than 600 catties alone ran into two heads, and they both rushed into the carriage in a hurry, so that Cha Xiaodao knocked him down, because the prey was too heavy, Cha Xiaodao only cut two large pieces of loin on the road, and he didn't even have to freeze in the ice and snow.

He also encountered a white-fronted tiger with hanging eyes of more than three meters, which opened Cao Yongchang's eyes, but this beast was quite spiritual, he followed the carriage for a few days, and finally left silently.

In this process, the snow never stopped, and the three of them had a smooth ride, but it was even more difficult to walk.

This twist and turn finally made Cao Yongchang sick, not to mention Cao Yongchang, even the hired horse was frozen to bruise and had chilblains.

The other flying thunder is radiant, but it is not ordinary after all, and it cannot be compared.

Li Yan was not in a hurry, but seeing that Cao Yongchang couldn't stand it, he discussed with Cha Xiaodao, went to an inn, and rested first.

It's just the eastern Liaodong area, which is desolate in the end. It is not often a big city with an inn and a post station, and the three of them drove the carriage out of the mountains and forests, and they could only find a nearby village with smoke. I want to spend the night in the township.

This place is called Niutoulan, in front of the door of several bluestone tile houses, there is a plaque hanging in the middle of the red lantern in front of you, and the word "Zhen Mansion" is written on it. The tile knockers are all brand new, and looking at this portal, it is also a rich man's house.

Naturally, Li Yan came forward and went to open the door of the mansion, and what came out was a girl dressed in green clothes and a beautiful maid.

She saw a man wearing chain mail standing in front of the Xuetian Gate, and she couldn't help but cover her mouth with her sleeves in surprise: "Dare, dare to ask this adult." What are you? ”

Li Yan smiled kindly: "This lady is invited, my surname is Li, I am a general of Daningwei, I went to Jiangxi on the order of the army, passing through Baodi, and wanted to borrow a house kang and raise a stove to avoid heavy snow." These two are with me. ”

Li Yan pointed to the two people in the carriage behind him.

"This, I can't be the master of this, I have to go to the back hall to ask Mrs."

"There's a little lady."

Li Yan took two steps back.

As soon as the little maid closed the door, she suddenly opened the door and asked, "The little woman is a country woman, and she is short-sighted." Adults can have a letter from the government or the government, and can take it to the back hall with me to show the lady, if the chief asks about it, we are small and small, and it is easy to answer. ”

This maid is not very old, but she speaks quite decently.

Li Yan simply took out the documents for renting horses at the post station, and the content on it was enough to prove his official identity.

The girl took the slip, Ying Ying gave a salute, her thin waist seemed to swing willows in the wind, and walked to the inner house.

When the little girl walked away, Cao Yongchang smiled: "If I were you, I would smash the door open, hang the waist card on my body, and shout, call you the head of the card, a chief." The chief of the security guard came to see me together, and the little lady signed the land, come over and come over to a warm quilt with a certain family! ”

He also learned to paint and paint, and his eyebrows fluttered.

Cao Yongchang has long regarded Zha Li as a golden armor god in the story, and along the way, although Li Yan is not smiling, he is extremely patient with him, and Cao Yongchang can let go of it.

"Come into the house later, don't talk to me, and don't make trouble for me."

Li Yan gave Cao Yongchang a preventive injection, but this kid also knows how to be measured, so he shouldn't mess around.

Sure enough, after a while, the girl turned back, respectfully returned the slip to Li Yan, and said crisply: "Mrs. Tai invites the three of you to the outer hall to talk." Give the horse to the servant and lead him to the back hall. ”

Feilei snorted, and Li Yan said: "Little lady, don't go, my black horse doesn't eat grass, if there are pig and sheep offal, you might as well pour it into the trough, Jin is more expensive, bother you more." ”

He was also generous and stuffed a large piece of silver. The girl held the large piece of silver in her hand, and secretly spoke, so she naturally agreed.

The house of Zhenfu has more than ten large tiled houses, with New Year's pictures pasted everywhere, sun-dried corn and chicken cages and dog kennels on the window edge, which are prosperous.

The three of them entered the house, Cao Yongchang looked around excitedly, but he felt an uncomfortable pinprick sensation when he checked the knife.

He furrowed his brow. Take the elbow and pestle Li Yan: "Is there a problem with this place?" ”

Li Yan was stunned: "It should be no problem, before we set off, I specifically asked the military brothers in the past for directions, this is a village where there should be a bull head pen." The chief of the security is surnamed Lin, and it shouldn't be a trick of a ghost village and a deserted house. ”

Cha Xiaodao nodded: "But I always think this house makes me a little hairy." ”

Li Yan listened to it and kept an eye on it, he didn't feel it himself, but he felt that this house was quite eye-catching, but when he said this, there was a problem nine times out of ten.

Since carrying the dragon and tiger flag on his back, Li Yan has long been prepared for many disasters and difficulties along the way.

Tigers and leopards, wild boars and black bears, at most, fight tooth sacrifices, but they are not in the way, and they may make Cha Xiaodao feel uncomfortable, so it must be a ghost.

After entering the inner house, someone served hot tea and lit a stove, and after a while, a maid came out with a white beard and dignified manners.

After greeting for two or three sentences, Li Yan learned that this Zhen family was originally an official, and the old man Zhen had done six things at most, and after returning to his hometown, he died of illness in half a year.

Master Zhen had a son before his death, he had married a wife, did a fur business in Liaodong, and his family was rich. In April, Zhen Daguan went out to do business, leaving his mother and wife at home, and there were usually servants and maids to serve.

The maid put on the fruit point, as well as a few large pieces of steaming ham and a few pieces of roasted brown bean cakes, Cao Yongchang was used to being wild, and he didn't see it at the moment, and he ate it in his mouth.

Mrs. Zhen glanced at the child without a trace, and changed her words: "Master Li, the old body has many words, you are an official of the imperial court, and you have your own post station along the way to welcome and receive you, and it is the honor of the old body to be able to sleep in my house under heavy snow, to kill a fat pig, take a few jars of old wine to entertain you, and send some plates to be entangled, but the old body always knows, you are the commander of several grades, where to serve, even if you boast to others in the future, there is a good reason." ”

Mrs. Zhen's words were soft and hard, in fact, she wanted Li Yan to come up with a more detailed certificate of public office, after all, how could a general who was on official business not even bring a soldier, but a child?

Eating people is soft-mouthed, Li Yan just felt that it was too abrupt to use official positions to oppress people at the beginning, and now that Mrs. Zhen asked, he also pushed the boat down the river and took out an ivory card.

This tooth card is embossed with moire, and the front is engraved with the Ming Dynasty and the Ning Dusi Zhenfu, and the hereditary flying cavalry captain. The back is engraved with the word rain No. 2,530, and the words of the offender are not allowed to borrow the words of punishment for the offender, in addition to the tooth card can receive 150 taels of silver and a number of grains every year, and it is also a certificate for calling the soldiers of the Daning Guard.

In fact, in addition to this, Li Yan also has the wordless iron plate given to him by the Dragon and Tiger Taoist, which can dispatch the cavalry of the Yamen of the Fusi in the north and south of the thirteen provinces.

In addition, there is also a handwritten handwritten letter, written by Li Rumei, the general soldier of Liaodong, which was shown to local government and Taiwan officials in special circumstances. Neither of these things is suitable for this occasion to be taken out.

Mrs. Zhen looked at the tooth tag, and her expression became more and more kind. She asked the maid to help her stand up, but Li Yan hurriedly stopped her.

"Adults come from afar to miss the welcome, forgive sins."
