The gloomy sky is silently falling large snowflakes, and the town of Ningxia is protected from the strong northwest wind under the barrier of Helan Mountain, but it is also affected by the microclimate of the mountains, and there are at least a dozen heavy snowfalls from winter to spring every year.

Song Nan sat on the corridor outside the second floor of the Guanxue Building, holding the file sent by Zhou Ang just now, which was the investigation of Yang Yiqing's attack, and after looking at it for a while, Song Nan threw the file aside, with a sneer on his face.

"My lord, what did the surnamed Zhou find out?" Hou Dabiao asked.

"What else could there be? It's not that set of rhetoric, it's definitely the Tartar spies. However, this time it was compiled in more detail, and the confessions of eyewitnesses were attached, as well as the testimony evidence of the so-called 'footprints and bonfire traces of Tartars stolen into Ningxia Town over the mountain' found by the patrol soldiers of Shizuishan Pass on the hillside. The killing of our eighteen brothers has naturally become evidence. It's good now, everything was done by the Tartars, and the Tartars have become the backstabbers. ”

"Do you want to go to these so-called witnesses to verify it? Maybe something will be discovered. Hou Dabiao said.

"No need, they are determined to hide it, how can we find a flaw because of this, these so-called witness testimony should be arranged roles, I don't want to waste time."

Hou Dabiao said: "Then how do we start now?" Why are we sitting here? ”

Song Nan smiled and said: "Yes, let's just sit down, after muddying the water, we have to sit quietly and wait for the fish to show their heads and panting, you should go take a shower and change into clean clothes, wipe the mud on the armor, I think someone will see us tonight, you are also the pacification envoy of the Beizhen Fusi, but don't be so sloppy." ”

Hou Dabiao's face turned red and said: "I will go to take a bath here, and I know that the smell on my body is unpleasant, and I am afraid that it will be smoked by adults these days." ”

Song Nan smiled: "It's good if you understand, you can go." ”

Hou Dabiao said: "Your Excellency is so sure that someone wants to see us tonight, shouldn't your adult clean up?" ”

Song Nan said: "I don't need to, I just want to take advantage of this little bit of free time to enjoy the snow, this building is called the Snow Viewing Building, it is not called in vain, you see, at this angle to watch the snow scene on the treetop roof, it is really dizzying, the scenery is really good." ”

Hou Dabiao rolled his eyes and turned around and left, he was not interested in seeing any snow scenes, he was tired of rain and snow all the way, and when he saw the snow, he couldn't say the nest fire in his heart, and he couldn't wait to scold a few thieves, how could he still be in the mood to enjoy the snow.

The snow was dense like white ribbons falling from the sky, and soon buried all the dirt, fallen leaves and dead branches on the rooftops on the ground, under the snow cover, the world seemed to be pure and immaculate, even a pile of cow dung on the street, after being covered with snow, it became mellow and lovely.

Song Nan stood under the corridor of the second-story building with his hands in his hands, a white expanse between the quiet heaven and earth, and a calm heart in his heart, only then did he understand the essence of the name of this snow viewing building, not the thick white snow on the top of the tree and the roof after the snow, nor the white veil covering the mountain top in the distance. The wonderful thing is that when it snows here, watching the snow from the building is like shaking off thousands of tulles in front of your eyes, and the number of pedestrians, cows and horses on the other side of the veil are in a hazy trance, just like in a dream.

A soft sound of "click", coupled with a pleasant "buzz", made Song Nan, who was caught in the snowfall and couldn't extricate himself, suddenly wake up, Song Nan glanced back, the black shadow flashed in front of him, and someone in his house seemed to be moving quickly, trying to grab the door.

Song Nan's scalp was numb, his fingers touched the handle of the embroidered spring knife on his waist, and he said in a low voice: "What person!" ”

Then he tiptoed into the house, and it was dark in the dark bedroom, but he saw a real black shadow running towards the door with something, obviously this person came up from the staircase and entered the house, and Song Nan watched the snow on the porch and did not find this person.

The guards next door arrived instantly when they heard the words, blocked the door tightly, the sound of swords and waves sounded, the black shadow was obviously frightened, shrunk back, and was caught by a spring stool under his feet, oops, a delicate call, the whole person fell to the ground, and the things in his hands made a messy sound.

"Light the lamp." Song Nan shouted.

The two guards quickly lit the candles, the fire lit up, and what made people stunned was that the black shadow that slowly emerged under the pressure of the blade shining with cold light turned out to be a pretty girl sitting on the ground with a panicked face, the girl's eyes were open, huddled tightly in the corner under the dresser, holding a yaoqin tightly in her hand, and her body trembled.

A personal guard shouted: "Who are you, dare to break into my family's Hou Ye's residence without permission, what are your plans, quickly recruit them." ”

The girl trembled and said in a delicate voice, "I...... I ......"

"Say! What are you doing? Is it to be detrimental to my family's Hou Ye's desires? The guards asked loudly.

Song Nan coughed and said, "You stand down, don't scare her, this is just a little girl stealing the piano, isn't this Yaoqin the one on the small table by the window?" Girl, did you break in to steal this yaoqin? ”

"Who is the thief? I'm not, this piano is ours, I was just ordered to come and get it. The girl's face turned red.

Song Nan said: "Oh? Is this harp yours? Obviously I live here, but I didn't see you when I moved in, how did it become your piano? ”

The girl shouted: "The Guanxue building where you live is our palace, this house was originally the house of my county lord, and everything here belongs to my county lord, if it weren't for the county lord asking us to vacate this building for you to live in, we wouldn't have left this phoenix chiqin here; When the county lord wanted to stroke the qin, he remembered to leave Yaoqin here and ordered me to retrieve it, shouldn't it? ”

Song Nan smiled and said: "I see, it should be, if it is the main master's house, we are the ones who occupy the magpie's nest; But how do I know you're not lying? If we are living temporarily, if we are missing something out of thin air, will not our master's house defile us as thieves? ”

The girl pointed to her nose and said, "You mean I'm lying?" Will I lie? How could I lie? ”

Song Nan laughed and said: "I'm not familiar with you, I don't know people but I don't know my heart, how do you know if you just make up nonsense in order to escape the responsibility of stealing?" ”

"You...... It's unreasonable, how could I, Qingluan, lie, and you don't inquire, has Qingluan lied since he was a child? ”

Song Nan laughed and said: "It turns out that your name is Qingluan, Miss Qingluan, I will teach you a way to prove yourself, you say that you are from Qingwangfu, then you tell me about the situation in Qingwangfu, I will know if you are true or false as soon as I hear it." ”

The girl named Qingluan stood up, holding the Yaoqin in her hand and said, "True is true, where do you need any proof?" You people occupy my county lord's Guanxue building for no reason, and when I came up from below, I saw a building at the end of the good end being ruined, and my county lord knew that he was still upset, and you were still reasonable. ”

Song Nan sighed and said, "It's not our fault that someone invited us to live here, and it wasn't us who wanted to live here." The problem now is not the problem of this building, but the fact that you broke into my house without permission to steal something, and maybe there are other schemes, and you can't prove your identity. Not...... We are all officials of Jinyiwei, you should have heard of Jinyiwei, if you have bad intentions against Jinyiwei officials, you will be punished. Zhao Baihu, sue sù this Qingluan girl, what kind of punishment will she receive for offending Jinyiwei? ”

A personal guard Baihu said with a grimace: "Generally, I stripped my clothes and spanked, using a mace, and I went down to dozens of holes with a stick." ”

Song Nan was stunned, how could there be such a punishment in the brocade guard, this guy was afraid that he was a beautiful girl, and he deliberately said such a vicious punishment, looking at the looks of these guards around him, I am afraid that he was already making up for the situation that this girl was stripped off her clothes to reveal her white buttocks and was beaten with a mace.

But this method really worked, and the girl screamed, her face was completely bloodless, and she shrank in the corner and shouted, "You guys...... You are so shameless, you dare. ”

Song Nan said: "If I were you, I would quickly find a way to prove my identity." ”

Qingluan took a few breaths and said: "Okay, but the affairs of the palace can't be publicized to the outside world, you let them avoid it, I can't tell them, you are an official, I just tell you to listen to it." ”

Song Nan smiled and said, "Okay, you guys can step down." ”

The guards withdrew one after another, but just now a moment of negligence actually allowed a woman to steal into Lord Song's house, if it was an assassin, it would be a terrible thing. If Wang Yong knew about this, everyone would probably be scolded and punished, and after withdrawing this time, they didn't dare to take it lightly, and assigned people to stand guard on the stairs, and Zhao Baihu went downstairs to find the guards at the entrance of the hall and scolded them.
