The weather is clear and the wind is smooth.

The only teahouse called "Qing Mingju" in Zizhu County, Xing'an County was full, and it was very lively, and bursts of laughter were heard from time to time.

In the overcrowded teahouse, an old storyteller with a white beard sat on the stage, his eyebrows fluttering, and his mouth was like a river, and he exaggerated some interesting rumors to the audience listeners.

As soon as the wood woke up, the storyteller took a sip of tea in an old-fashioned manner, and said in his throat: "Ladies and gentlemen, I told you before that there are heroes in the rivers and lakes who see the beginning and the end of the dragon, and next, let's talk about the beautiful lady of this country......

Hearing the words "Mei Jiao Niang", the audience immediately exploded, whether it was a farmer passing by to rest, or a boy who was pastime and shaking a fan, they were all a little more interested and shouted one after another.

"Finally waiting for your old man's trick!"

"Good job, reward one!"

Someone deliberately coaxed: "Old man, how many have you seen!" Is that so mysterious? ”

"Young man, don't look at me as just here to tell you stories, when I was young, I saw the world." In the face of doubts, the storyteller said proudly.

While the teahouse was noisy, the storyteller who was facing everyone caught a glimpse of it with his spare eyes, and two groups of people entered the teahouse, looking at the clothes, they were all distinguished guests.

The first group of people are three women, the identity of the three masters and servants can be seen at a glance, the woman in the center is wearing a gorgeous white dress, the corners of the clothes are decorated with gold threads, fluttering like clouds, silky like snow, the hat covers the face and cannot see the face clearly, the body is tall, the curve is graceful, every move is elegant and luxurious, not like the woman who can be born and raised by ordinary rich and noble families.

On the left side of the woman in white is a handsome girl with a baby face tied up like a man's head and her hair tied up at random like a man's, the girl is seventeen or eighteen years old, and she carries a delicate little bookcase for a woman on her back, which is extremely playful; Behind the woman in white to the right, followed by a burly old woman with flowery hair dressed as a servant.

The second group of people is Yan Longyu, Dugu Haodang, Hua Fengju and Yan Gui, who have come all the way to this point and want to come in to rest.

When they walked to the corner of the street where the teahouse was located, Yan Longyu and the four of them began to notice the three women who entered the teahouse before them.

Part of the reason why the two young women are pleasing to the eye is that part of the reason is the casual evaluation of the three of them by the "well-informed" Hua Fengju.

"Don't look at the tall woman in white dressed monotonously, but the material of the clothes can not be found in the folk dyeing and weaving workshop, even if it is placed in the capital, it is priceless, and the old woman next to the woman is obviously a restrained martial arts master."

The two groups of people were led to the clean and elegant seats upstairs by the two discerning shopkeepers in the teahouse.

After arranging the seats for the two young women, the bold shopkeeper didn't forget to look at the two young women fiercely, but after being glared at by the old woman standing behind the two women, he turned his head in embarrassment and ran away.

And Yan Longyu and the four of them sat not far from the two women, quietly observing them.

"Sister Chen, look, there's a man!" The baby-faced handsome girl rolled her eyes and pointed in the direction of Yan Longyu and the four not far away, extremely playful, and whispered to the woman in white with a hat sitting next to her.

Under the hood, the woman surnamed Chen turned her head slightly and saw four people not far away, and the first thing that caught her eye was Yan Longyu, who deliberately lowered her head and also cast a gaze at her.

The woman's heart trembled, there are really young people in this world with splendid eyebrows, like mountains and rivers!

The well-informed woman just looked at it for a moment, then turned her head again, as if she was whispering to a woman, and said dotingly: "What's the matter, which one does my good sister have a crush on, Baiyi?" Dressed in black? Or that forty-something Tsing Yi? ”

The baby-faced girl whose real name is Fan Xiaochun smiled, noncommittal, and said shyly: "Sister Chen, you know that you are making fun of me, people just think that the young man in black is a little handsome, just a little bit." ”

"My fair gentleman, what a lady."

As she spoke, Miss Fan stretched out her little finger and drew it in front of her.

On the other side, after Yan Longyu vaguely saw the Peugeot goose egg face under the veil of the white-clothed woman's hat, he deliberately smiled stupidly, bumped Dugu Hao, who was sitting beside him, with his arm, and whispered: "Dugu, that fairy sister glanced at me just now, did you see it?" ”

Dugu Haoran didn't want to pay attention to this embarrassing appearance, and said with disgust: "Look at your worthless appearance, don't say you know us when you go out in the future." ”

Yan Gui, who was forced by the little master to change into a delicate and elegant earth-colored beast pattern satin, but with a rustic atmosphere, and his uncle Hua Fengju sat side by side opposite the two, hearing the two little masters laughing, Yan Gui couldn't help but laugh, and smiled.

"Sister, listen up, that storyteller downstairs seems to be talking about you!" Miss Fan said proudly.

The woman in white and hat hid her face and smiled, dignified and elegant, and raised her delicate body to listen downstairs......

"Our Emperor Chunfeng's pearl in the palm of his hand, how the eldest princess Yuxiu was born, and let me talk about it carefully. What is born is that it is like a frightening wave, graceful like a dragon, like a bright moon, like a hibiscus, a look at the heart, and then a city with a thousand sincerity, and a ...... posture"

The old storyteller's witty words attracted applause from everyone in the audience.

However, the woman in the hood upstairs blushed when she heard this, but fortunately, no one could see her face with a white veil.

This woman who can't see her face clearly is the eldest daughter of Emperor Chunfeng, the sister of the current crown prince's half-father, and the eldest princess of Wu Zhao, Chen Yunchai, who has "paid a private visit to Weifu" so far.

"How can there be such an exaggeration, I'm embarrassed to listen to what I said." Chen Yunchai turned his head and whispered softly.

Fan Xiaochun, the daughter of Fan Liangchun, the great sacrificial wine of the Guozijian next to her, personally painted the world-famous "Twenty-four National Colors and Heavenly Fragrance Map" Fan Xiaochun, the "first talented woman in the capital", shook her head violently, disapproving, "In my opinion, it is obviously conservative." ”

The fathers of the two women are friends who talk about everything, and they are also close friends who naturally grew up together.

Chen Yunchai was angry, stretched out her white and slender fingers, and gently scraped the tip of her good sister's nose.

At this moment, there is a lively scene in the teahouse, but I don't know that there are a group of uninvited guests outside the teahouse, and the momentum is violent.

A middle-aged man with a face barely known as a gentleman led a hunchbacked scholar with an obscene face and eight government officials with thick arms to appear outside the teahouse.

The obscene face of the reader said in his mouth, "Lord Qian, I see it very true, those two foreign beauties walked around after entering our county, and then entered this Qingming house." ”

The middle-aged man surnamed Qian pouted and smiled casually, full of officialdom: "Master Wu, you are really a good dog leg of our county commander, usually I don't think about my brother when I have benefits, but when I caught a woman for the county magistrate, I remembered that I was here as a county magistrate." ”

Not to be outdone, the obscene master squinted and sneered: "Come here, take people for the county commander, and don't help me, what kind of anger are you!" ”

Qian Lai shouted disdainfully: "Gotta get it, brothers, listen to the master, go in and arrest the woman for our county commander!" ”

Master Wu hurriedly stopped him, and the philistine smiled: "Alas, Lord Qian, you can't talk nonsense, that's called 'arresting important criminals in the imperial court'." ”

The county Cheng Qian Lai rolled his eyes and led people inside, and the master surnamed Wu stood outside the teahouse with a smile and squinted his triangular eyes in order to avoid suspicion, and watched the nine people enter the teahouse with great fanfare.

After entering the teahouse, the eight yacha ignored the few guys who came to laugh and scattered in the crowd listening to the book.

Zizhu County Cheng Qian came, kicked his feet, flew on the high platform where Mr. Storyteller was, faced the crowded spectators under the stage, held the official tone, and said loudly: "Zizhu County Cheng handled the case, arrested the important criminals of the imperial court, and the idle people avoided it quickly." ”

For the people of the Closed Land, the decree of the local patriarch is more effective than the decree of His Majesty the Emperor, who is far away in the world.

As soon as these words came out, the teahouse suddenly jumped and the crowd scattered, and within half a moment, even the teahouse Xiaoer and the storyteller disappeared.

The county Cheng Qian came to squint and look around, and finally saw the two women who were still sitting upstairs, and then slowly raised their hands, and the eight officials dragged the ruthless sticks in their hands and ran upstairs.

Upstairs, the two women from the capital who noticed something strange downstairs were still sitting as usual.

Fan Xiaoniang tilted her head towards the princess's sister, and said innocently: "Sister, didn't you let General Cang garrison them outside the county?" Why did you send these officials to follow us? ”

Chen Yunchai, who covered his face with white veil, said helplessly: "Silly sister, looking at the posture of these people, you know that they are not here to protect us, but seem to be here to arrest us." ”

"The girl is really smart, and she is indeed here to arrest you." The county Cheng Qian came to clap his hands and walked up slowly.

Qian Lai waved his hand sadly and said, "This place is not worthy of the identity of the two girls." Brothers, please go to the county government for tea! ”

"Order!" The eight people behind Qian Lai said in unison.

Seeing that eight strong men were about to walk towards them, the two women looked at the old woman behind them at the same time unhurriedly, and the eldest princess Chen Yunchai said softly: "Then I will bother Aunt Murong." ”

The old woman smiled coldly, took a few steps forward, and blocked in front of the two women.

Before the old woman could make a move, the two women saw three swords and three figures, flying towards the eight yacha.

It was the white-clothed Yan Longyu, the black-clothed Dugu Haodang and Yan Gui in the previous girl's mouth.

In fact, when the eight officials went upstairs, Yan Longyu and the four of them saw the clues, after they came to Zizhu County, they intentionally or unintentionally inquired about some customs and customs in the county, and inadvertently learned about some private styles of Ji Chunfan, the commander of Zizhu County.

In fact, the problem of corruption among officials in Xing'an County is not limited to Zizhu County, but a pile of history and has accumulated disadvantages for a long time.

Due to the unique topography of "one mountain in ten miles, one cliff in a hundred miles", Xing'an County has been closed to traffic since ancient times, isolated from the outside, and has become an excellent place for large and small rivers and lakes, bandits and thieves to live.

Since Emperor Chunfeng ascended the throne, there are more than 20 large and small rivers and lakes in the records of the government here, and the first sect in Qinzhou, because of the rolling dragon river barrage and Yan Longyu's Luming Valley, which has some festivals, is located here.

Under the situation of rampant power and difficulty in contacting the imperial court, the officials of Xing'an County subtly became imperceptible day after day, and were infected with all kinds of reckless vices such as rampant domineering, contempt for the king's law, and occupying land for the king.

The burly old woman frowned slightly when she saw that the three young men she didn't know had their swords unsheathed, and she was flying towards the eight yacha. She flew up a little faster on her tiptoes, higher than the three of them, and swept an astonishing arc in the air, standing between the approaching teenagers and the eight servants.

The old woman turned her body slightly sideways, clasped her palms in front of her chest, and a transparent qi visible to the naked eye like a flowing wind was born from between her palms, quickly spreading to her arms, and the qi was strong and domineering, making the people present fearful.

"Not good!" Hua Fengju, who had been sitting at the table with his back to everyone, suddenly said in a loud voice: "Boys, hurry up and retreat, don't go any further." ”

As soon as Hua Feng's voice fell, the old woman stretched out her arms and pushed out her palms to both sides, and the teahouse was like a stone entering the water with ripples, with the burly old woman as the center, and a circle of domineering anger visible to the naked eye was exploded.

With a loud bang, the dust and debris on the ground quickly steamed up, and the nine people of the county government, including the county Cheng Qianlai, were shocked by the ripple-like gusts of qi and smashed the body of the teahouse, flew out upside down, and just fell in front of the county ya's obscene master who was looking inside outside the teahouse like rain.

The nine of them were all in pieces, bleeding from seven orifices, and died on the street.

The unknown master was so frightened that he ran back with his legs outstretched, shouting incessantly, "Someone is dead!" ”

Because of the old woman's deliberate restraint, Yan Longyu, who planned to "heroically save the beauty", just retreated dozens of feet in a series of small steps, and then knelt on the ground against the wall, without worrying about their lives.

Hua Fengju couldn't help but get up and scolded the old woman angrily: "You old woman is not blind, these three children of mine are kind enough to help, you don't appreciate it, you don't know the importance of it!" ”

"If I really don't know the severity, I'm afraid the three of them will be broken by now." The old woman's dead fish eyes did not squint, her words were indifferent, and she turned around and walked back behind the two women.

"Aunt Murong, don't be rude." Chen Yunchai, who was hooded and white-clothed, stood up dignifiedly, and gave a blessing to Hua Fengju and the three fallen teenagers respectively, "The little girl and her sister suffered this when they first came here, thank you for the help of a few young heroes, this hall..."

"Eh, the slave's surname is Chen, I don't know how many young heroes are willing to tell the slave family's name?"

Fan Xiaoniang smiled awkwardly when she heard that the princess's sister almost said that she had revealed her mouth.

Yan Longyu straightened up with difficulty, rearranged his clothes, glanced at the burly old woman behind the young woman with palpitations, swallowed his saliva, and then pretended to be calm and said: "In Yan Longyu, the word is dusty." ”

Hua Fengju immediately responded and coughed in her throat, slandering in her heart, this kid is really a woman who forgot the pain.

Dugu Haoran's face was as usual, and after patting the dust on the hem of his clothes, he stood up and said coldly: "The surname is Dugu, and the name is vast." ”

Maybe it was because he was wearing clothes that did not fit his identity and was looked down upon by the woman, Yan Gui also had to follow the two of them and said with a smile: "I'm just a subordinate, don't work girl, you don't care." ”

How can anyone wear silk?

Although they were a little puzzled, the two women with distinguished status, Chen and Fan, still nodded politely and responded with dignity.

After hearing what the black-clothed man said, the little lady of the Fan family, the "No. 1 talented woman in the capital", also hurriedly stood up, and whispered to Dugu Haodang with a red face: "Hello, my name is Fan Xiaochun, Du~Gu~, you and our Empress Dowager Wuzhao have the same surname!" ”

"Oh, yes." Dugu Haodang was speechless, not knowing how to answer the words of the silly girl in front of him, but when he heard this, he awkwardly looked away from her.

Yan Longyu was exquisite, and suddenly seemed to see the subtle thoughts of this man and woman, and deliberately cast a meaningful glance at them, which provoked Fan Xiaoniang, who was a little annoyed that he couldn't talk, and glared at him resentfully.

Chen Yunchai saw all this in his eyes and couldn't help but smile.

After thinking about it, Yan Longyu suddenly realized something, and hurriedly said: "It's not appropriate to stay here for a long time, the two girls should leave here quickly!" ”

Chen Yunchai left his seat and said softly: "Since this is the case, then invite a few sons to move with the slave family and go to this Zizhu County Ya to ask for an explanation." ”
