"Da Da Da, the third watch is half of the night, be careful of the candles!" the watchman yawned and shouted weakly, the cold wind blew, and the watchman wrapped his clothes tightly, complained, and continued to knock as he walked.

The city of smoke and rain shrouded in darkness is like a piece of black ink.

The third watch has passed, and the Smoke and Rain City of Nuoda has also begun to sleep, with only a few candles occasionally flickering.

The wind was strong tonight, but it could not disperse the clouds that shrouded the sky.

In the alley next to the inn, two black shadows leaned against the wall, watching the watchman walk away and walk out of the alley to the street.

The night was like ink, and I couldn't see the figures of the two clearly.

"It's so dark, you don't have to wear a night coat!" the woman said in a low voice.

"Wear it once, it's not worn yet!" replied the man, looking around.

The destination of the two is the famous attraction of Smoke and Rain City, Wuchen Tower. Legend has it that Yanyu City used to be just a small village, a monk who passed by here, coinciding with the plague here, the monk was not only a Buddhist person, but also through the art of rejuvenation, to help and save everyone. Later, the monk left, and the villagers said goodbye, and when asked about the Dharma name, the monk smiled and said nothing.

The teacher of the private school in the village, looking at the back of the monk leaving, was grateful, and said: "It is said that the family members see through the red dust, but this monk is traveling through the world and understanding the Dharma, we might as well build a tower to commemorate this monk, how about the tower be named Wuchen Tower?"

The villagers praised this, and after more than ten years of hard work, this Wuchen Tower was finally built. Later, the city of smoke and rain developed and expanded, and the Wuchen Tower became a famous attraction in the city of smoke and rain.

Wuchen Tower is located in the northerly direction of Smoke and Rain City, and the two of them hurried here in a hurry while the night was on their way.

The two looked up, and the hazy figure of the Wuchen Tower could be vaguely seen in the night.

"One floor, two floors...... It's almost twelve-storey. The man looked up and counted.

"This tower is really high, Master is right, spilling this paper here is indeed the widest range. ”

"It's not too early, let's go up!"

The two jumped and reached the second floor of the Wuchen Tower, which was unguarded because it was a scenic spot.

The two opened the door and climbed the stairs to the top of the tower. The wind at the top of the tower was even stronger, and the whirring cold wind made the two of them shiver.

"I didn't expect it to be so cold, your master will really be blessed!" the man complained.

"What nonsense, it's inconvenient for my master to come forward, what do you know?" the woman retorted.

"Don't fight with you, let's go back quickly!"

After that, the man took out two sacks from the bottle, untied the tether, took out the paper with the ink fragrance still in it, and said: "I have written it for two days and two nights, but tomorrow, all the people in Yanyu City will know my literary talent!"

"Pull it down, do you think I haven't read it, sure enough, the master is wise, knowing that you can't be trusted, and I wrote another one!"

"Then let's compare tomorrow to see whose style they like!"

If you lose, you'll be with me five times unconditionally!"

"Eh, why didn't you forget the trick at this time, I really convinced you!"

"How, don't you dare?"

"Okay, okay, what if you lose?" the man asked rhetorically.

"With your literary talent, I don't think I will lose!" the woman said with a smile.

The two took out the prepared articles from the sack and sprinkled them into the air, Wuchen Tower was located in the north of Yanyu City, the north wind blew, and the paper floated to Yanyu City by the wind.

......

The sky was bright, and there were many pedestrians on the road.

Some people carry burdens to set up stalls, and some people carry vegetable baskets to the market.

It's just that today's Smoke and Rain City is different from the past, and people walk on the road but find that there are a lot of white papers on the ground at some point, and there are still some things written on the white paper.

Some of the white paper drifted into people's houses, some hung on trees, and some were scattered in the corners.

A hurried middle-aged man picked up a blank piece of paper, and wrote crookedly on it: "Dog thief Xiao Shuihan, you are not a human, you kidnap girls, practice evil skills, lose your heart, destroy flowers with hot hands, curse you for having a son, being cut by a knife when you go out, and being poisoned at home, if you don't hurry up and hand over the girl, hurry up and surrender the law!"

When the middle-aged man saw this, he threw away the paper: "Who wrote this, why is it so vulgar!" Suddenly, the middle-aged man was stunned and muttered: "Xiao Shuihan? Isn't that one of the four major families?"

In order to confirm this matter, the man picked up another piece of paper from the ground, but found that what was written on this paper was completely different, "There is Xiao Shuihan, the head of the Xiao family in Tianyun City, who has obtained an evil skill, and used the girl's aura to cultivate, and there are girls in Yanyu City and the surrounding towns who are harmed by it." After the captivity, the girl drained her aura or died or went mad, and such a madness was indeed the anger of God and man. It is purely a fact, and there is no fabrication, and there are still girls trapped in the Xuantian Villa of the Xiao family. ”

The man found another one on the ground, and compared the two, only to find that although the writing of the two was different, it was a description of one meaning, that is, Xiao Shuihan practiced evil skills and bullied girls.

Smoke and Rain City is like a pot of boiling water, and it explodes at dawn.

Rumors came on, pedestrians on the road talked about it, vendors set up stalls began to exchange their own information, people rushed to the market had no intention of shopping, everyone discussed only this one thing, and some people panicked, some joined in the fun, and some people were angry.

"I heard that he didn't have these blank papers when he patrolled the city yesterday, and they appeared this morning, do you think it's a curse? Heaven can't stand it, and he wants to put Xiao Shui to death!"

"Half a month ago, Wang Er, who is next door to me, told me that the little girl of his relatives was missing, and he has not been found until now, was he taken away by this Xiao Shuihan!"

"Could it be that someone framed you?"

"Didn't you see what was written on the paper, there are still girls trapped in the Xiao family's Xuantian Villa!

"If it's true, it's really too beastly, I think Xiao Shuihan is going to be removed from this Smoke and Rain City. ”

......

Fang Yanfan and Li Lao sat in the inn for breakfast, listening to the guests in the inn talking about it, and they were very satisfied with the effect.

Suddenly, a discordant question in the crowd was asked, "You are reasonable, I read two articles, and I think the writing has its own merits, which one do you think is better?"

Hearing this, Fang Yanfan shook his head and patted his forehead, knowing that this question came from Hu Xuan's mouth. Fang Yanfan was speechless for a while, wondering how Hu Xuan could ask such a question so cheekily.

"Do you need to ask, there is one article that is vulgar, it feels like it is scolding, and naturally it cannot be compared with the other!"

Everyone nodded in agreement.

When Hu Xuan saw the situation on this side, his face was red and white, holding the teacup at a loss, the scene was extremely embarrassing, and Li Lao and Fang Yanfan wanted to laugh when they heard this in the back.

"No, I don't agree, I think the vulgar one is easy to understand, I have been reading books for a few years, and I don't recognize many words, but I also understand it!"

Hearing this, Hu Xuan put down the teacup, ran over and shook hands excitedly, "Bosom friend, I don't think that's vulgar, that's folklore!"

When they saw this, they were about to faint.

Shaw House

Xiao Shuihan sat in the hall, holding two different articles in both hands, trembling and flushed as he looked at his hands. There were still a dozen or so kneeling people in the hall, each of them trembling and their heads pressed against the ground motionless.

"Can anyone tell me what's going on?" Xiao Shuihan tore up the paper, threw it on their heads, and then slapped it on the tea case, and the tea case broke on the spot.

Seeing this, everyone didn't dare to speak, their bodies were still shaking, and the beads of sweat on their faces kept dripping down.

"Butler, come on, or this tea case will be your end!"

"Old ...... Master, this is what I saw at the bazaar today, I listen..... I heard that this article was not available last night, but today it is full of smoke and rain city, presumably someone has made a ghost at night!" said the butler with his head bowed.

"Well, Zhu Yi, how did this girl's detention location be revealed, and you are responsible for it?" Xiao Shuihan walked up to a man, pulled his hair down, and forced the man to look at him.

The man's eyes widened, and his hair was torn painfully.

"Little ...... The little one doesn't know, although the handover point was taken in the last few months, but the source has not been found, and since then it has been more careful, and these few months are also extremely hidden, and the little one thinks that no one should know about it!"

"No one knows about this? The articles scolding me are all written in the city of smoke and rain, and you still tell me that no one knows about it?"

Xiao Shuihan was furious, and slapped Zhu Yi in the face with a palm, this person was killed on the spot, and the rest of the people were also frightened by Xiao Shuihan's cruel methods and lay on the ground.

"Master, the city lord sent someone to ask you to hurry over and discuss something!"

Xiao Shuihan nodded, then pointed to the people in the hall and said, "You bunch of waste, all kneel here for me, and wait for Lao Tzu to come back and ask them one by one!"

With that, he waved his sleeves and walked out of the hall.
