Pear blossoms are like snow grass and smoke, and spring is on both sides of the Qinhuai River.

The night scene of Qinhuai for ten miles, even if it is a person who lives in Jinling City, it is not tired of seeing it, it is just night, the embankment on both sides of the river is lit with lanterns, reflecting the face of the wine lady and the dancer more enchanting, the swaying fan, the floating light yarn, the white lotus arm, the fat powder in the air, all show that this is a man's paradise.

In addition to the Qinglou on both sides of the river, the painting boat on the river is also more and more, the canopy cabin is lit with oil lamps, in the hazy light, it is a completely different flavor from the Qinglou woman, many scholars stood on the riverside stone embankment and gently shook the fan, naturally there are familiar boat girls who have rocked the boat, and skillfully climbed the jade arm on the hand that is used to holding poetry books.

Therefore, in such an environment, it is naturally difficult for the lone scholar in the green shirt to attract the attention of others, and Gu Huai, who has a hosta diagonally inserted on his head, is still a little less amorous than other scholars, and walks slowly along the river embankment with his hands in his hands.

Of course, he didn't come to the Qinhuai River because he wanted to experience the lights here, and after walking a long way along the embankment, he also learned from a scholar standing by the stone steps and waving to a painting boat.

The water was rippling, and the unlit painting boat shook to the edge of the steps, Gu Huai just stepped forward gently, and got on the boat in the slight shaking of the painting boat.

There was no boat lady on the ship, and naturally there was no small room separated by light yarn, and behind a simple table, the spring equinox with two moustaches stood up and saluted.

"Your Excellency."

"Don't be so polite, Jinling is a place, if you are targeted by someone with a heart, you won't be able to go back to Beiping," Gu Huai looked at the cabin, "It's a little cold." ”

The spring equinox sat down and relaxed: "The Qinglou industry has been set, and I can't get in, and my subordinates only now know that men want to enter the Qinglou more strictly than women." ”

"So how many boats did you drive? In this way, at most, it is useless to catch a poor scholar in Taixue. ”

"Why don't you allocate some more funds?"

Gu Huai was stunned, and then laughed: "Reopen a green building?" How much silver does that cost? Qinhuai River, a place where every inch of land is valuable, has a big money owner from other places, and it is strange that it is not investigated... Besides, I myself am poor now, so I don't need to talk about it. ”

He looked at the prosperity of the two sides of the strait outside the painting boat: "Tell me about other people." ”

"Yes," the spring equinox pondered for a moment, "Shocking opened a tea shop on the official road outside the city, contacted the carriage and horse shop of the chief official, and sent the news out of Jinling, you can take the trade route and send it back to Beiping directly." ”

Gu Huai nodded: "It's finally good news, although the trade route is not as good as the military post, but it is better to talk than nothing, and the Beiping side will not become blind and deaf." ”

"Rain... Carrying a bag at the dock outside the city can be regarded as blending in," the face of the spring equinox was a little strange, "Last time, I also brought a few brothers I just met into the city to be happy, I think he is pitiful, and confiscated his money." ”

"Carrying the bag..."Gu Huai paused, this is too fucking miserable, "Forget it, take your time... What about Qingming? ”

Speaking of Qingming, the face of the spring equinox became more solemn: "The pharmacy has been opened, but there is no way to investigate it for the time being." ”

"There are a lot of things that can be checked, don't forget the ones I taught you on the way south," Gu Huai clapped his hands, "The price of grain and meat, public opinion, the turmoil in the court, the trend of government affairs... Of course, the most important thing is to check the Jinyiwei. ”

The imperial court cut the domain, the most powerful knife is Jinyiwei, the incident in Beiping reminds Gu Huai all the time, Jinyiwei's hand... It has already reached into Beiping.

God knows what they all mastered?

At the mention of this, the face of the spring equinox was a little bitter: "Lord Chief, this is really hard to check." ”

"I know it's not easy to check, but I have to check," Gu Huai's voice became colder, "I don't need you to enter the Jinyi Guard, you just need to be able to figure out how well the Jinyi Guard is moving in the court." ”

In the twentieth year of Hongwu, Zhu Yuanzhang ordered the burning of Jinyiwei's torture equipment, and the prisoners were transferred to the Criminal Department for trial. But it didn't look like he was locked up at all.

The matter of the king of Zhou was done by them, and there must be a lot of brocade guards around the kings waiting for the opportunity, they are crazy and want to recover, and cutting the feudal domain is their best opportunity.

It's a bunch of outright mad dogs... What Zhu Di and Gu Huai want to do next must not be discovered by these mad dogs.

Taking a deep breath, Gu Huai waved his hand a little tiredly: "Okay, don't take too much risk, Jinyiwei's side... I'll see if I can think of another way. ”

......

On the official road more than 100 miles away from Jinling, a knight dressed in red with a black scarf around his waist swallowed a mouthful of saliva with difficulty.

No, you can't drink water... The lower half of his body is already unconscious, and if he reaches for the saddle bag, he may fall headlong.

How many horses is this? Yes, the third horse... This horse has reached its limit, can it still hold out to Jinling?

What's the next place to change horses? Luoxia Mountain... To tell the next postman, be sure to bring two horses!

The knight's body rises and falls with the gallop of the horse, and the war horse, which is usually well cared for, has a layer of white shell on its body because of sweating, which is the salt discharged with sweat... There are not many such warlike horses in the border army, but they are likely to run alive and die on this post road tonight.

It's not the time to feel sorry for the war horse... This news must be sent to Jinling as soon as possible, if the road is delayed, not only will he die, but the post guards on this entire military post will be implicated.

The sound of the horse's hooves falling on the official road is very crisp, continuous like a shower, the woods on both sides can not be illuminated by the moonlight, the black and swarthy like a bottomless abyss, this is a wilderness, and he can't see a light for a long time, as a Ming post officer, he has seen such a scene many times.

Whenever war came, there were also many ancestors who rode horses and ran on this road without sleep... Then the entire Ming Empire will run like a machine.

Feeling the rhythm of the muscles of the war horse beneath him, the knight's vision gradually blurred, this cookie-cutter scenery made his spirit reach the limit, and every flashing tree seemed to become a note urging him to fall.

Two horses ran and died, and they crossed two hundred miles, and the fate of being a post boy may have died on this road.

Luckily, there are also postmen like him running on other post roads... I just hope they arrive safely.

Wrong... The woods are out, the official road is wide, and the lights ahead... Is it a military station?

Someone is standing guard... It's an old Cui head who knows each other... He looked over, and he raised his torch and shouted.

As soon as the knight's reins were loosened, the war horse under him screamed and his hooves were weak, and he fell to the ground, and the knight who fell with it spat out blood and neighed:

"Eight hundred miles expedited!"
