Back at the yamen, Master Peng retreated, and ordered the kidnapper to go to the tent and receive two taels of silver as a reward for reporting the case. This is a matter of two taels of silver, thinking that today I have to make some warm wine, two plates of peanuts, and enjoy it.

Master Peng's name is Peng Jingcai, and his fame is also obtained, he looked at Wu Fengxia: "Wu Zhutou, what do you find out about this case?" ”

Wu Fengxia pondered for a while: "I can probably see that this is a homicide case, but a young man, what kind of enemy can he have, he was so poisoned, it can be seen that the person who committed the crime is also sad and crazy, and there is no heavenly reason." ”

"My lord, what did you think?" Wu Fengxia watched the adults stroke their goatees from time to time, and from time to time their eyes stared at the gate in front of them.

"That's what I thought of from the past. That was the first time I went to the capital to take the exam, and it happened in the winter of 25 years ago. 11111" Master Peng told Wu Fengxia what he experienced 25 years ago.

At that time, he was also a Xiuchang who had just come out of Jiangnan, and no one asked about the cold window for ten years, and he became famous all over the world in one fell swoop. This is the goal of many readers. Because of the events that took place that year, the imperial examination was postponed until winter.

And Chang'an City is in the north, and it is snowing at this time. Peng Jingcai walked on the mountain road with a bag on his back and a mule bought for transportation. Due to the cold, the mule's nose exhaled a large cloud of mist from time to time. One person and one mule walked and stopped, and walked for more than half a month before they arrived at this place.

Peng Jingcai saw that it was getting late, and he said to the mule angrily: "Man, if you hurry up we can still find a place to live, if you still walk slowly, then we will only pass through the barren mountains and mountains." It's snowing, and it's been white these days, and if you want to find a place to shelter from the snow and wind, you don't say where to go. Is it possible to be frozen to death in this ravine? ”

The mule seemed to understand him, but he breathed even more harshly. seems to be opposing Peng Jingcai's statement: I have been walking all the way for almost a day, and I haven't gotten a drop of water, so I don't let the mule live?

"I also know that I didn't give you good food today, but I can't help it, on this snowy day, where can I find you something to eat, but we will walk this mountain road for a day." Speaking of this, I glanced at the sky and saw a pillar of smoke rise. I couldn't help but come to the spirit: "Let's go, let's go and see if there is anyone." Or if you're lucky, I'll get you a delicious meal. When he had said this, he put a mule between his legs, and the mule raised its four hooves and left a series of footprints in the snow.

This man climbed over a high step ridge with a mule, but saw a village in the open space in front of him, and these houses were all scattered, and it was very regular when he wanted to come to Jianyuan. Peng Jingcai didn't care so much, but saw many people carrying knives and wearing swords in and out of the plant. Peng Jing is a reader, but his brain is not bad. I feel that this village is not an ordinary village, and the ordinary village is full of ordinary people, and there are men in strong suits who carry swords at every turn.

With an extra heart, he found a corner of a broken house, got some forage for the mule, and quietly walked out himself, thinking that he would ask for something to eat later. In this way, Tun will deal with it for a night. But the truth is not as good as it should be. Just had this idea come to mind, but there was a sound of footsteps behind me. I don't know when two tall and energetic men came behind them, and when they saw this person and a mule, the faces of the two people were especially gloomy in winter.

Peng Jingcai had to accompany the smiling face and said: "Two big brothers, I am also passing by, I want to go to Beijing to get famous, it is late, the weather is cold, I am here, I want to find a place to fight, I don't know if it is convenient for you here?" ”

It is not strange to many people, this is the idea of the reader.

But the two men were silent, just carrying Peng Jing to the most beautiful building in the valley. At the door, one of the men in Jinshang's pretended to nod at a man standing at the door, and went in to explain the situation to the master.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Peng Jingcai looked around, and saw that there were people guarding every corner of the door, and he also determined the fact that what he encountered was not a village, it was possible that he had inadvertently walked into a certain person's forbidden land, and it was okay to think about it, and he was discovered by those patrol men.

In less than a quarter of an hour, a person who looked like a master walked out of the room.

Peng Jingcai saw that he was also a scholar, and his heart was steady, everyone was a scholar, and it was convenient for him to communicate, and he followed these two men in strong clothes, and he said a big basket, but the two of them never said a word. This is really a show of talent encountering soldiers, and it is unreasonable. ”

"Why is Xiucai so late?" The person who looks like a master has a pale face, and his voice is a little yin and yang, but the etiquette of the scholar is still very thorough, and from his point of view, Peng Jingcai's expression is not very welcome, and it is not much different from these two men in strong suits.

"I passed by in the next because of the exam, but I walked for a day, it was dark, I couldn't find a suitable accommodation, I want to spend a night in Guizhuang, and I asked Mr. to give it a convenience." When Yuan Jingcai said this, he didn't dare to have any intention of dodging in his eyes. You must know that if you don't look at people, then you have a ghost in your heart. This is the experience passed on by the old man.

"Well, your lord is also a hospitable person, especially for the literati." After the other party finished speaking, he invited Peng Jingcai into the house.

Peng Jingcai glanced at the broad-faced man sitting on the chair with a backrest, dressed in a long robe, and he was in his forties, but he spoke in a cool voice: "You are the Xiucai who is going to Beijing?" ”

"Yes, I took a fork in the road, and I didn't see a single figure on the mountain road for a day, so I strayed into the treasure village, and asked the owner to give a convenient overnight stay, tomorrow I will leave early in the morning, I can give your owner accommodation fees." The pedantry of scholars, Peng Jingcai still has it.

"It's a blessing for us to have people who read to stay with us." The forty-year-old man in a broad face and a long shirt was tall and bright, with a pair of shining eyes, and he was a practitioner at first glance.

Peng Jingcai also noticed something unusual, and didn't dare to say more, nor did he dare to ask more, so he thought about leaving this impenetrable place early tomorrow.

"I don't think it's as good as this, Xiucai, you don't have to go to the exam, just stay with us, we need a scholar like you here, I promise to let you eat and drink spicy food in your life, and I can also give you a fame when the time comes, what do you think?" This tone is like a prince.
