Chapter 76: Miss Xue
The head of the cell is not in a rut, everyone knows that the sword dance girl has excellent martial arts, but such a ghost appears unnoticed, and a shot will cost a human life, who is not afraid.
Jian Wu withdrew his long sword and said coldly: "No need, Miss Xue is still waiting to use it, it's not interesting to break her hand." ”
The cell head wiped his cold sweat and said with a flattering smile: "Yes, yes, you can choose the sword dance girl at will." ”
Jian Wu came to the head of the row, and saw the end from the beginning at a glance, and the more he looked at it, the worse his face became.
"Prison ward, why is it that this group of death row inmates are either one-eyed or have scars on their faces? It's also ugly, what kind of weird shapes are they? ”
Jian Wu turned his head and glared at the cell leader: "You want to disgust Miss Xue, right?" ”
The cell leader followed behind him, keeping a half-step distance from Jian Wu, leaning forward slightly, and said with a smile:
"Recently, Yunzhou sent troops to exterminate a group of bandits in Jinfeng Town, hehe, they are all pickled talents, so there are few men with good looks."
After watching all the sword dances, there was no one who could catch the eye, and the snow-white face showed displeasure.
"Warden, that's how you helped Miss Xue share her worries?"
"Don't dare, don't dare! I have always done my best to serve Miss Xue. ”
The cell boss was terrified in his heart, and if Jian Wu didn't catch a death row prisoner, he would definitely not give up.
After a turn of his mind, he pointed to the inside of the cell and said:
"There is also a death row inmate in the prison, who is extremely handsome, do you want the sword dance girl to ...... At first glance? ”
The cell boss also knew that the beggar who acted as a substitute for the dead was not trivial.
However, the aura of the sword dance is really too powerful, and if you are not careful, your own life will be in danger!
"Lead the way!"
"Yes!"
Ken Dance follows the cell boss to the death row, where sits a man in ragged clothes, unkempt and looking like a madman.
It was Mu Bai.
The lighting in the prison was not good, and Mu Bai couldn't see the woman's face clearly.
I just feel that the attitude of the cell boss is extremely humble, and he should be a big official.
Mu Bai still smelled a foul smell all over his body, and he could smell it every ten steps.
Jian Wu covered Qiong's nose with a white handkerchief, his eyebrows jumped in anger, and he glared back at the cell head.
"Warden, I think you're tired of life."
The cell boss swallowed his saliva, and his face was distorted in fright:
"Sword Dance Girl, slow down."
Seeing him pick up the teapot from the table, he walked in, and a bowl of water was splashed on Mu Bai's face.
Then he wiped Mu Bai's face clean with his sleeve.
asked someone to bring an oil lamp to light Mu Bai's face.
The cell leader grinned at Sword Dance:
"You see, this looks like Pan An, and it must be expensive to wash it."
Jian Wu's eyes also lit up, and he couldn't help but step forward curiously to stare at Mu Bai.
After a long time, Jian Wu asked, "What's your name?" ”
Mu Bai knew that his opportunity had come, so he hurriedly picked up the pen and paper on the ground and wrote:
"Back to Shangguan, the villain didn't call."
Jian Wu was stunned, is this still a dumb person? Jiao Jiao said: "I am asking your name." ”
Mu Bai wrote: "The villain's name is Xiao Yang. ”
The cell boss is sweating on the side, this stinky beggar can still write?
Look at the handwriting silver hook and iron stroke, like walking dragon and snake, ordinary people can't write it!
The thing for the dead ghost won't be revealed, right?
Fortunately, Jian Wu has always admired Mu Bai's appearance, but he didn't suspect anything else.
After a long time, Sword Dance nodded in satisfaction:
"The small appearance is delicate, but it stinks, and it can be used for washing. That's it, let me go. ”
"Yes......" Sword Dance named the person who wanted it, and the cell boss didn't dare to say anything, and he could think of another way for the dead ghost.
After all, catching a beggar on the street is not as easy as catching a mouse.
Mu Bai followed Jian Wu and got into the chariot.
The two didn't say anything all the way.
Coming to a place full of pavilions and pavilions, the luxury of carved beams and painted buildings, is the yamen of the prefect of Yunzhou.
It took half an hour all the way.
The mansion is so vast that even the princes and nobles of the capital can't compare.
This Xue Yi is worthy of being the king of Yunzhou with the name of the prefect.
In the car, Mu Bai peeked at the sword dance from time to time.
There is also a fragrance all over the body, which makes people can't help but drool.
Jian Wu noticed Mu Bai's lewd eyes, and was a little angry:
"The mouth can't speak anymore, and the eyeballs don't want it anymore?"
Mu Bai hurriedly looked away and wittily wrote on the paper:
"The villain has something unclear, and he dares to ask the official."
Jian Wu covered his nose and said impatiently, "Say! ”
Mu Bai wrote: "When the villain enters the mansion, I don't know what I can do for Miss Xue? ”
Jian Wu snorted coldly and said disdainfully: "You are a death row prisoner, you are just to please Miss Xue, what else can you do?" ”
Mu Bai wrote a sentence with a low hand: "Could it be that as the rumors say, Miss Xue chose a handsome and strong man to enter the mansion to act as the head of the face?" ”
The face head was not a secret at all in the ancient Houfu, and the slightly powerful concubines of the past generations had this hobby.
It's just that I didn't expect that Miss Xue, who was waiting for a boudoir, was a little anxious.
"You ......"
Zheng!
In an instant, the long sword was already on Mu Bai's neck.
Mu Bai felt his neck fluttering.
There was a murderous aura in the whole carriage, and even the coachman outside shivered.
Mu Bai couldn't help but sigh, the high martial arts of this sword dance are really rare.
"If you dare to scribble again, I will cut your tongue."
Jian Wu's eyes glared at Mu Bai coldly, and then he also felt that something was wrong.
Mu Bai was not afraid of death, and wrote with a smile:
"Shangguan, don't be angry, there are many misunderstandings about Miss Xue outside, and the villain is also hearsay. The villain just wanted to ask for an understanding, so as not to make Miss Xue and her old man angry. ”
Jian Wu really had a murderous intent just now, but this trip brought back a death row prisoner, and if he was killed, he couldn't make a difference.
So he took a deep breath, put his sword into the sheath, and said in a cold voice:
"Miss Xue likes to throw pots."
"Ouch!" Mu Bai patted his thigh, nodded and wrote:
"Coincidentally, what the villain is best at is throwing pots, one shot and one accurate."
"Don't worry, the villain doesn't dare to win Miss Xue, I'll see how I act later, and I promise to shoot Miss Xue's sycophants comfortably."
Pitching pots was a casual game often played by wealthy people in ancient times.
The rules are simple, put a pot a few meters away, and the person stands outside a line and throws a sharp arrow.
It is a bit similar to the ferrule on the street in later generations.
When Mu Bai was in college, he once set up a stall, which was a ring.
Not to mention the 100 shots, the 99th middle school must not have run away.
It seems that the entertainment of the ancients was really boring.
But it's a great opportunity.
Gao Yu can rely on the bow, and the official worships the captain.
Maybe you can rely on throwing pots to change your life against the sky.
Seeing Mu Bai's inexplicable confident appearance, Jian Wu couldn't help but have a strange smile on his frosty face:
"What do you think? It's not for you to play with Miss Xue, it's for Miss Xue to throw arrows, and your head is used as a pot. ”
After Mu Bai heard this, his whole person froze.
it!
A human head pot?
In a blink of an eye, I arrived at the outer corridor of Changle Mansion, and the birds and flowers in this palace were very pleasant.
But when he thought that he was going to be a pot for Miss Xue, in case Miss Xue's hand slipped, his handsome face would be broken.
No matter what, you can't avoid it, it's better than the survival rate of being a death row prisoner in prison!
After getting out of the car, Jian Wu led Mu Bai into Changle Mansion.
A tall and thin beautiful woman with an eager expression bowed to the sword dance and said:
"Sister Sword Dance is back, go in and take a look, there's something big going on inside."
Jian Wu was puzzled: "Shui Yue, what's wrong with Miss Xue?" ”
The girl named Shuiyue said with a worried face:
"The eldest prince is here."
The eldest son?
Jian Wu's eyebrows tufted, it seemed that Miss Xue was really going to be cornered this time.
Jian Wu was about to go to the front hall, but he smelled a foul smell all the time.
When he turned around, he almost forgot about this death row prisoner, Mu Bai.
Covering his nose, he said to Shui Yue:
"Shui Yue, take him to the bathing room, wash him ten times, and sprinkle more petals and incense powder. Hurry up! ”
"Yes!"
Shui Yue also looked at Mu Bai with some disgust and said:
"You just got it out of the, it stinks like this."
Mu Bai smiled awkwardly, and then was taken to the side hall, and the ladies dragged him into the bath and took turns to get started.
At first, there was a constant sound of vomiting coming from inside.
Washing the thatched house has never been so disgusting.
However, after changing the water five times, the atmosphere suddenly changed inside.
The bath room is full of warblers singing and singing, and the sound of joy continues.
No matter how much Mu Bai shouted and broke his throat, he couldn't resist his curiosity about this man's body.
"Hee-hee, it looks like this."
"Kind of like the horse's one."
"Strange, the difference between a man and a eunuch, just this thing?"
Mu Bai's mouth couldn't speak, but his expression was unusually rich.
At this point, he is a specimen to be admired.
There is no dignity at all.
Jian Wu found another clean garment.
After some dressing up, the whole side hall was quiet.
More than a dozen maids, staring at Mu Bai with beautiful eyes, their eyes were blazing.
Many of them have been sold into the palace since they were young, and they have never been in contact with men outside the palace except for eunuchs and stake-like guards.
Mu Bai's handsomeness instantly made their cheeks blush and lowered their heads, and they soon couldn't help but glance up again.
Mu Bai found that the clothes of this ancient, as long as they were in good shape, were really temperamental to wear, and he couldn't help but turn around in front of the mirror.
He's fucking handsome.
Jian Wu touched the hot earlobe with his jade hand, full of shame.
"First lock him up in the firewood room in the backyard and wait for the young lady's orders."
"Yes!"
Then Mu Bai was thrown into the firewood room in the backyard of the prefect's yamen, where he couldn't see anyone at all.
It was impossible for Mu Bai to contact Miss Xue.
Fortunately, at noon, someone brought food to Mu Bai.
Mu Bai saw through the crack in the door that this person was an old man, no beard, and should be a eunuch.
This king of Yunzhou is bold enough, eunuchs can only be used by emperors, and eunuchs are not allowed to be raised in the homes of hundreds of officials.
It shows that Xue Yi is arrogant enough to feel that he can be the king and hegemon.
"What do you call your father-in-law?"
Mu Bai casually handed over a silver ingot of white flowers.
This is the way the world is, money can make grinding ghosts.
Guo Yong looked left and right, and found that there was no one, so he said:
"Guo Yong. Just call me Grandpa Guo. ”
"Father-in-law Guo, I know a little about medical skills, if I am not mistaken, you have been suffering from drenching recently."
A trace of shame flashed in Guo Yong's eyes.
Drenching is a common disease of eunuchs, because of physiological defects, the older the eunuch, the more frequent the drenching.
The eunuch had two things that he carried with him day and night, one was a knee pad and a kneeling artifact.
The other is the bottom of a thick towel, which is equivalent to a diaper.
"How can such a thing be said. Watch me break your dog's legs. ”
The erection of anger was quickly suppressed by Xiao Yang, Mu Bai slapped the prescription on Guo Yong's palm, and said with a smile:
"Father-in-law Guo is not in a hurry, this recipe is a family heirloom, don't talk about it."
When Guo Yong heard this, his eyes were full of excitement, like a treasure.
"Are you really willing to give the treasure recipe to our family for nothing?"
Drenching has plagued him for decades, spring, summer, autumn and winter, wearing a thick towel day and night, like a leech!
Except for the eunuchs, outsiders really can't understand this pain.
Free giveaway?
How can it be.
Seeing Guo Yong's signs of excitement, Mu Bai also took advantage of the situation to start a business, and said:
"Father-in-law Guo, I was originally a death row prisoner, and I was just caught by the Sword Dance Girl, saying that I was going to abuse Miss Xue, I don't know if my father-in-law can do a little favor."
"I don't know, can Gonggong Guo get me an errand in the house?"
With an errand, it is much easier to do things.
Mu Bai knew that only by stepping out of the firewood house could he have a chance.
Guo Yong breathed a sigh of relief.
It turned out to be this little sesame thing.
That's right, in fact, Miss Xue will arrest a group of people every once in a while, but not every one of them will be used, sometimes she will be detained in the house for several months, and finally she will dispose of them.
Anyway, it's a waste of food to keep it in the house. It's better to let him use his spare heat.
As the head of the backyard, arranging an errand is not easy.
Guo Yong thought for a moment and said:
"Literate?"
"Yes. Slightly more general text. ”
"Very good, Miss Xue's study lacks a reading companion, why don't you go?"
Recently, Miss Xue was going to ask Mr. Teacher, and she was not satisfied with the previous companion, so it is estimated that Miss Xue will not be blamed for this suggestion.
After all, the affairs in this mansion are all taken care of by Guo Yong.
Guo Yong then couldn't wait to look at Mu Bai: "Then, can you give me this recipe?" ”
Mu Bai then handed Fang Zi to Guo Yong: "Father-in-law Guo, please take care of me in the future, after all, I am not familiar with the villain, and it depends on you whether I can live or not." ”
Guo Yong saw that this kid was very interesting, and he was a manufacturable material.
"Okay, your kid is a person with vision, don't be a moth in Miss Xue's house in the future, tell you, this is not an ordinary mansion, our Master Xue, everyone in Yunzhou calls him the king of Yunzhou, it's not unreasonable, if you make Miss unhappy, then your life, no one can save it."
Guo Yong had to explain all the rules of this house to him clearly first, so as not to cause trouble for him when he got it, but it would be bad.
Mu Bai nodded: "Gonggong Guo, don't worry, I am an interesting person, I just want to live a cheap life, and I have no other ideas." ”
As he spoke, Mu Bai took out a silver ingot from his pocket again.
Guo Gonggong weighed and weighed, holding the square in one hand and two silver ingots in the other, not to mention how beautiful it was.
"Wait, I'll go and ask the young lady for instructions, and then arrange for you to go to the study."
"Okay, thank you Grandpa Guo."
After Guo Yong left, Mu Bai simply ate a few bites of food, and in the afternoon, Guo Yong didn't see it, but the sword dance, with a cold face, came to the door of the firewood room.
Mu Bai's eyes froze, why did this woman appear here?
"Listen to Gonggong Guo, do you want to be Miss's companion?"
The sword dance is a little incredible, but I didn't expect this death row prisoner to be literate.
In this world where illiteracy rates are very high, literacy is already an unattainable dream for the people at the bottom.
