Withered vines and old trees, faint crows, small bridges and flowing water, ancient roads west wind thin horses, the sun sets, the protagonist is pulling horses.

That's right.

Not riding, not rushing, but pulling, just because this young man is not good at riding.

Early this morning, the sky was slightly bright, and the young man received an order from the county government to let the young man go to Jingzhou Taishou Mansion to take up a post.

The young man's surname is Xu, his name is Jianping, his father died early, and he came to Jiangling five years ago. Wandered on the street and became a beggar, and then met his master, surnamed Zhang, no name, and no one knew his origin, just because he was a servant, a lowly servant. Xu Jianping followed the master to carry the corpse, sorted out the relics of the deceased, and slowly survived for two years, at least he was not starved to death.

Until one morning, the nameless master entered the mountain and never returned, and many people said that he was eaten by wild beasts, and others said that he fell into a mountain stream and fell to pieces. In short, there is an extra tombstone in Xu Jianping's yard, and after three years of wind and rain, you can still vaguely see the three big characters "Old Man Zhang".

As a result, Xu Jianping became Jiangling's servant. Until early this morning, Xu Jianping came to the county office, and the county Cheng Li brought a horse and asked him to rush to Jingzhou Taishou Mansion to report. It's just because Jingzhou's servants are old and dead, and there are so many lowly people in this world, but there are really few people who can do it.

Xu Jianping looked at the brown-red tall horse in front of him, his long mane was scattered, Xu was just full of food and drink, and he was constantly "chirping, chiaping". Seeing someone approaching, holding its proud head, his eyes full of contempt.

"Alright! You're right to look down on me. Xu Jianping has no riding training, no matter in the previous life, or in this life, he has never touched a horse, Xu Jianping had to untie the rope melancholy, and led the horse all the way out of the city gate.

Outside the city, the mountains are jade, layers of mountains, Xu Jianping led the horse to no one's place, put his left foot on the saddle, turned over, used too much force, and directly turned his head and fell down. Xu Jianping tried a few more times without believing in evil, but the horse under his crotch did not cooperate, and after a while, Xu Jianping was already panting and sitting on the ground.

So, on a sheep intestine path, one person and one horse, moving forward wantonly.

Back to the day before yesterday.

Jingzhou City, in the drunken immortal building, the door is like a city, the seats are full, it is already night at this moment, the men after the busy are always accustomed to come to the wine shop to drink a few glasses, there are literati and righteous people who talk about the situation in the world, there are businessmen who tell stories about the strange stories of various places, and there are also farmers who talk about the length of the family.

A wine table near the riverbank.

"Xiao Er, serve the wine, bring me a good burning knife." Uncle He Ping unbuttoned his trouser belt, stretched out his hand wantonly in front of the public, took out a purse from the inside, and poured it all on the wine table.

"Uh" burped, and then said: "This uncle has silver taels, well, reward you" After speaking, he picked up a piece of broken silver from the table and threw it to Xiao Er.

"Thank you He Xiucai, the wine will be here soon, master, you wait a minute." Xiao Er stretched out his hands to catch the broken silver, grinned with yellow teeth, and didn't care where the silver was taken out, he put it in his mouth and bit it hard, and shook the rag in his hand with a smile.

A short, stocky middle-aged man at the same table stared at the silver two in front of the table, and his eyes flashed with golden light, "This He Ye is the same water, I will go to play there later." ”

Uncle He Ping picked up the wine glass, filled it, took a big sip, and said intermittently, "This is a very important secret, it is inconvenient to talk to you, come to drink, and rest when you get drunk."

Xu was happy tonight, Uncle He Ping drank at least two pots of burning knives alone, and the people who accompanied him were not ambiguous, and they drank with him.

Until about eight o'clock in the evening, Uncle He Ping's heart suddenly felt hot, as if a fire was burning in his abdomen, and he was hungry and thirsty. Uncle He Ping hurriedly took the flask and took a big sip, who would have thought that as soon as the wine was in his mouth, a flame came out of his throat, and then the body began to smoke, and the whole body was on fire, and then he fell to the ground crying bitterly, howling: "Water, water, give me water."

Seeing this, the people beside him retreated one after another, and no one dared to reach out to help. Uncle He Ping had to crawl to the river step by step, until he finally failed to climb into the river, so he was burned alive in front of everyone.

"Did you hear, someone in the Drunken Immortal Building angered the ghosts and gods last night and burned them alive."

"Yes, this is the fourth, or we will go to the temple to worship today, or maybe it will be our turn."

"The Fahua Temple has been demolished, what to do there, if you want me to say that it is a foolish thing done by the Yamen, to demolish the temple for no reason, and now it is cursed."

"Don't say it, if you hear it with others, you can't wait to take a board and take a walk."

In the Taishou Mansion, Taishou Li Jingrui frowned and looked at the case in front of him, this is the fourth homicide case, the thief arrested Peng (the official office for arresting the prisoner is replaced by catching the head to avoid awkwardness) Lord Qian has been tracking for more than two months and still has no clue.

"I hope that the person recommended by Si Ze really has this ability!"

It turned out that Li Jingrui, the Taishou of Jingzhou, was the brother of Li Size in Jiangling County, and when the two of them were chatting a few days ago, they heard that his brother was worried about this case, so they recommended Xu Jianping to him. It's just that in the past three years, all the murders in Jiangling have been solved by Xu Jianping.

"Don't drive Cao, go and ask Jiangling Xu Jianping if he has arrived." (Don't drive: the official name, the deputy of the Taishou is called the master)

"Back to Lord Taishou, Qian Zhutou has already brought someone to answer, and there has been no news back a few days ago," Master Cao replied with a bow to Li Taishou.

Li Jingrui was a little surprised, the waterway from Jiangling to Jingzhou Mansion was only half a day's journey, how could he not arrive when he arrived at Youshi, maybe there was something else delayed, so he didn't care about "After arriving, let a few of them come to see me."

Sunset. A young man led a high-headed horse to the south gate of Jingzhou City, looking at the majestic city wall in front of him, on which the word Jingzhou was written. The boy couldn't hold on any longer, put the wooden box in his hand into the ground, and kicked the box with both hands.

"Li Size is a thief, and I am affected here."

After he rested, Xu Jianping led the horse to the city gate and handed the identity card to the garrison for inspection.

"Jiangling is Xu Jianping, you wait a minute, I will go and inform Yu Yamen." After saying that, he took out a firework and released it into the air. This is the means of communication of the Great Han.

Xu Jianping had obviously never seen such a strict guard, and when he was in Jiangling, Xu was known to everyone, so it was very convenient to go out of the city and enter the city.

At this time, on the wharf of Jingzhou, the day of May has already entered summer, and on the banks of the Xiangshui River, the breeze is coming slowly, with a little coolness, and at the same time, it also carries the "buzzing" sound of mosquitoes.

One tall and one short, one fat and one thin, a large sword, and a long sword.

Watching the fireworks bloom in the south of the city, the fat man scolded angrily:

"The dog's day is a good one, and if you don't take the waterway, you have to take the dry road."

"Ah, are you saying that the newcomer is also a good man?" The tall thin man with the sword asked in surprise.

"I, don't insult people for no reason" The short and fat man carried a big knife and slashed a few mosquitoes at will.

"Shicai Boss Qian, you said it yourself, Xu Qizuo likes dry roads!"

Boss Qian was speechless for a moment, this young man now understands a lot.

"Let's go, go to the south of the city to pick up the guy."

These two people are the head of the Yamen's Qian and his subordinate Wang Lin, who came to the dock to pick up the newcomer in the afternoon today, never thought that Xu Jianping was leading the horse, and only received the message from the south of the city at the hour of the unitary, which made the two wait for a while.
