Chapter 1 Entering Ling'an for the First Time (1)

Just after spring, the vegetation is revived, and the eyes are full of new colors. The news tree in front of Huafu Temple has budded and bloomed, after a few days, this road will be crowded, the people of Ling'an love to join in the fun, since they will not miss the good season of cherry blossom worship Buddha.

Song Ran opened the curtain, raised his eyes to look, and took a satisfied breath in the breeze. Her eyesight is not good, and the people and scenery beyond the three steps are blurry, and she can only see a rough idea. At this time, you can only distinguish the bright exterior wall of the Buddhist temple and the color of the blue bricks of the wheels of the carriage.

Due to the floods in the two northern counties, many hungry people fled to Ling'an, and the officers and soldiers guarding the city were very strict in inspecting the people who entered the city, but they had all the customs clearance documents and were soon allowed to enter the city.

Soon, Zhong Bo's voice came from outside the car: "Young master, after crossing the street ahead, we will arrive at our new home." ”

New home, she likes these two words.

From this day forward, she will live a new life. You don't have to snort anymore, and you don't have to pretend to be stupid. In Ling'an City, she can arrange her own life, and she can also decide by herself what kind of friends she wants to make and what kind of person she wants to marry.

The carriage turned a corner and came to Magnolia Street, and the sound of rolling wheels was swallowed up by the noise in an instant. The boiling voices and the smell of food wafting from the breakfast stall made the chill of early spring on the body a little thinner. Song Ran sat back in the car and gathered the cloak on his body. On the indigo cloak, the folded branch flowers of white camellia are embroidered. A few strands of black messy hair fell onto his clothes, and he flicked them with his hand, and they were immediately supple and parted.

As soon as she closed her eyes and got up, she woke up in a sudden braking of the carriage, she pressed the short dagger at her waist and called, "Uncle Zhong? ”

Uncle Zhong heard the vigilance in her voice and reassured: "A child suddenly came and frightened the young master. Looking at the situation ahead, he hesitated to make a judgment, "It seems that the yamen is on a business trip ahead, and the busy people are blocking the lane." ”

The palpitations in Song Ran's chest gradually subsided, and he heard Zhong Bo ask passers-by: "Dare to ask this little brother, what happened ahead, there are so many onlookers?" ”

"The old man is not a local, in front of him is the Shangshu Mansion of the Criminal Department, and the Ting Wei Division is raiding the house and arresting people!"

"The book of the criminal department? But Lord Xiao Yanxiao? I heard earlier that he was a celebrity in front of His Majesty, how could he be reduced to the point of being robbed? ”

"It doesn't matter if he is a celebrity in front of His Majesty or a feudal official, who is not a hot figure when he is targeted by the Imperial Guards! But when it comes to the Yamen of the Imperial Health Division, who can get out of the whole body? It's light to peel off a layer of skin! After that, he motioned to him to look, "Look, the one that stopped in front of the Xiao Mansion was the official sedan chair of Lord Shen, the commander-in-chief of the Imperial Health Division, who had set up such a big battle to copy the Shangshu Mansion, but Lord Shen didn't even get down from the sedan chair!" He kindly suggested to him, "The old man should go on a different path early, this family has to be copied!" ”

After the man left, Zhong Bofang said to the car: "Young master, Shangshu Mansion is raiding the house, it seems that this road will not work." ”

The person in the car seemed to think for a moment, and then made a decision in a soft voice: "Let's take a detour." ”

The sound of wheels was far away, and there was a sudden commotion in front of the Xiao Mansion.

Seeing the lively people, they hurriedly stretched their necks to look, only to see several officials in brocade clothes escorting a man to the official sedan chair, and said to the people in the sedan chair: "My lord, Lord Xiao wanted to kill himself, but after being rescued by his subordinates, he resisted arrest, and his subordinates forgot the severity of their shots, and accidentally broke one of Lord Xiao's legs." ”

It was a warm sedan chair carried by four people, with a silver roof and a soap-colored cover, and those who took this kind of official sedan chair in the capital had to be at least an official of the third grade or above.

A man's voice came from the sedan chair, a good voice like a clear stream, but without the slightest warmth: "It's just to invite Lord Xiao to the Tingwei Division for a cup of tea, why should Lord Xiao bother?" ”

Hearing this, Xiao Yan raised his head angrily, revealing a pair of bloodshot eyes under his messy long hair.

"Shen Hanxi!"

He roared angrily, and his body rushed forward, but before he could take half a step, he was restrained by the brocade-clothed official.

After struggling for a while, he finally accepted his situation, no longer acted rashly, and his tone was mocking: "Oh, I still admired you for climbing from a small straight to your current position, but seeing that you don't even have the courage to stand under Lang Lang Qiankun and confront me face to face, I have some sympathy for you." ”

The sedan curtain hung low, and the person sitting in the sedan chair did not move at all: "Lord Xiao, when you arrive at the Tingwei Division, you will tell me what to say." Again, not everyone likes to stand in the sun. If you stand in the sun for a long time, you will be scorched. Stroking the jade wrench on his hand, he said, "Take it away." ”
