In a daze, the Hun boy opened his eyes, and he didn't feel anything uncomfortable on his body, but only felt that his head was groggy. He lay on a straw mat and didn't know where it was, except that there were a lot of horses around, and it looked like a stable. There were two men and a young woman next to him, the two men were dressed as grooms, and the woman—"Huh? The Hun boy was shocked, I'm not dreaming, the yellow-haired woman in front of me is actually a Miao who he thinks about and is obsessed with! How could it be, it must be a dream.

He only remembered that he was chased by two people, and later, he suddenly felt numb in his left ear, and knew that he had been hit by a hidden weapon, but fortunately, there were no big veins on his ears, the blood flow was slow, and the effect of the medicine was also slow. He pulled out the poisonous needle, took advantage of Xiao Mo's fall, used his last strength to climb over a high wall, and fell headlong, and he didn't know who was going to die.

"Don't move, open your mouth, and drink some hot ginger soup first."

This is Ah Miao's voice, the voice of the woman he misses, he has only heard it twice, but he remembers it deeply. It's not a dream——, it's ......

I didn't have time to think about it, a spoonful of hot soup had already run into my throat, and I was unconscious in the ice and snow for a long time, and the cold was soaked in the bones, and this bowl of hot ginger soup was a life-saving decoction. Compared with the warmth of the heart, the warmth of the stomach is nothing at all, and the sweetheart feeds himself with hot soup so gently, even if he dies, it is worth it. His heart was already turbulent, but Ah Miao's heart was quite calm, without any distractions. She saved this Hun only to repay the kindness, to repay him for saving herself from falling and hurting, and nothing else, if there is, it is out of the nature of a person who cannot see death and cannot be saved.

After Ah Miao finished feeding the ginger soup, she stood up and said to the two grooms: "The young master has commanded, this man is kind to us, don't let him sleep in the stables tonight, arrange a place for him to live in your manservant's room, and don't let it freeze." ”

After Ah Miao finished explaining, he turned around and left.

"Sister Miao." Seeing that Ah Miao was leaving, the Hun boy hurriedly shouted.

"What's the matter?" Miao stopped.

"Oh...... what's the matter?" I don't know, I just want to look at her for a while and say a few more words, "I want to know, how did I get to your Shi Mansion?" ”

"Well, wait a minute, ask these two grooms, they'll tell you."

After Ah Miao left, he was arranged in the room of two grooms. The groom told him that he had been found under the wall of the courtyard and that he was unconscious, and the man hastened to inform the groom and carried him into the stable. Shi Hui was not at home, and the grooms made it clear to Biyu. A comatose person ran into the house for no reason, the matter was not trivial, Biyu personally went over to look at it, and recognized it at a glance as the Hun in the daytime. Since we know each other, there is no need to report to the official. Ah Miao heard about it, and in order to repay him for his kindness during the day, she personally made a bowl of ginger soup and sent it over.

He grew up in the bitter cold land of the north since he was a child, and has a natural ability to resist wind and cold, plus he drank a bowl of ginger soup, and after a night of warmth, the cold in his body has long been eliminated. On the second day, he went to see Shi Biyu, and Biyu asked him, "Didn't you follow Liu San Mazi to the south?" How did you get back? How did you run in and faint in my house? ”

After a night, Ah Zhuang had already made up a reason: Yesterday I took a boat with Liu San Mazi to the south, and when I walked to the middle of the river, I met the big boat opposite, and the boat spun, and Liu San Mazi was standing on the bow at that time, and he was thrown off the river. The boatman hurriedly salvaged it, but because it was dark, the current was fast, and the climate was cold, he could not be rescued. Since there is no Liu San Mazi, I can't go to the buyer alone, and I thought that the eldest prince said that you wanted to buy me, so I took the boat back again. After going around the gate of your house for a long time, I saw that all the people at your door were majestic, and I looked so down, I would definitely not let me enter the door, so I went around to the backyard, planning to jump over the wall and beg you to take me in, but the wall of your house was too high, and I was hungry for most of the day, and I was knocked out when I jumped down.

He told Biyu the reason. Of course, all this is fake, in fact, after he was poisoned by the needle, the dog jumped off the wall in a hurry, hit it by mistake, and jumped into the Shi Mansion. Of course, Biyu won't pay attention to these idle things, and he won't care about the life or death of Liu Sanmazi, a little slave trader.

"Okay, you can stay in my house and be my husband."

"Young Master Xie."

"What's your name?"

"The villain has no name, please give the young master a name."

"Hmm, really?" Biyu thought for a while and said, "With my subordinates, the names of female slaves all have the word 'female', such as Ah Miao and Ah Yan that you saved; As for male slaves, they all have to have a side with the word 'shi', such as my scholar Aji. I see you, your body is so vigorous, let's call it Ah Zhuang. ”

"'Ah Zhuang', well, this name is good, I will be called Ah Zhuang in the future, thank you for the name."

The imperial husband is also a powerful servant beside the young master, and his status is naturally higher than that of other servants, so of course, he doesn't have to sleep with those horsemen who raise horses. He was placed in the room of the scholar, Aji. Since then, he has settled in Shifu. He always wanted to get close to Ah Miao, intentionally or unintentionally, but Ah Miao always ignored him, and after a long time, he also saw his bad intentions.

Although he knew that Ah Miao was a humble woman, he didn't know her background, so he asked Ah Ji about it. Ah Ji told him: "Ah Miao is also a slave sold by Liu San Mazi. She entered the Shi Mansion to serve the young master when she was very young, and served the young master meticulously, and the young master couldn't leave her for a moment. ”

"I can't leave ...... for a moment Then they are together all day......"

Seeing him spitting like this, Aji knew what he wanted to say, and said with a smile: "It's normal for a maid to be taken in by the master." ”

"Normal? Could it be that Ah Miao also ......"

"Ah Miao? Hmph, she was taken in earlier, four or five years ago, when they were young, and it was the first time it happened in the tub, in a daze. ”

Ah Zhuang felt very uncomfortable when he heard this, but he still did not lose his love for Ah Miao.

Aji has been getting older recently, and he is gradually understanding the amorous style, and he also covets Ah Miao and Ah Yan on weekdays, and when no one is around, he often teases the two with words. Ah Yan joked with him when she was in a good mood, but Ah Miao was always serious, and she was often bored. Today, from Ah Zhuang's speech and demeanor, he also saw that he liked Ah Miao, so he deliberately said angrily to him: "The young master can't do without Ah Miao, not only Ah Miao serves people thoughtfully, but the most important thing is that the son loves her white ass the most......"

These words were all spread by Ah Yan to the outside world. Although Ah Miao and Ah Yan are both Biyu's personal maids, Biyu often likes Ah Miao more. She couldn't get angry, so she spread private messages outside.

"Say no more!"

When Ah Zhuang heard Ah Ji's words, he was full of anger, and he wanted to kill Biyu and Ah Miao immediately. His heart became more and more blocked, and when it was blocked to the extreme, he suddenly became enlightened: "We slaves and maids, including me, are like cattle and horses, all of them are the property of the master, and even the life belongs to the master, so what is the matter?" The more he thought about it, the more reasonable it became, and in the end, his anger disappeared and he slept peacefully.

Shu Yan informed Luoyang Wei of this overnight. Luoyang Wei took the case, but he was still on the side. The main reason is that there are no plaintiffs, and cases with plaintiffs cannot be solved, and cases without plaintiffs will have no time to manage. What's more, although Shu Yan said that he saw that person carrying a dead person and throwing it into the water in a trance, after all, he didn't see clearly because it was dark, so he didn't dare to be sure. Shu Yan suggested going downstream to salvage and see if there were any corpses. But Luoyang Wei felt that the weather was cold, and there was no bitter master, and no one was grateful for solving the case, so why bother. So I prevaricated Shu Yan a few times, and then it was gone.

Although Shu Yan did not give up, he was helpless and had no clues. Because first, the suspected murderer could not be found; Second, no one ever reported that anyone was missing. Liu San Mazi is alone, although he has distant relatives, but these relatives all know that he is not at home all the year round and runs away from home, so no one cares about his disappearance. In this way, this matter should be a confused headless case, and the worries of this headless case have not passed, and Shu Yan has added a new annoyance, which stems from a letter he received from his hometown. Although this matter is not about human life, it involves a wide range, has a great impact, and is so strong that it really makes Shu Yan difficult.

Shu Yan came to Shangshutai as usual. At the Jin Dynasty, the Shangshu Institution was already very large, and its importance was increasing day by day. Of course, major decisions were still made to the emperor by officials at the three public levels, such as Taiwei, Situ, Sikong, and Da Sima, but the specific policy implementation was mostly carried out by the Shangshu institutions.

The prefect of Shangshutai shot for Shangshuling and Shangshu's servants. There are a number of Liecao who handle specific affairs below, and the prefect of Liecao is called Shangshu, and there are generally Cao, Sangong Cao, Kecao, Tian Cao, Duzhi Cao, Mincao and other departments. The configuration of these departments is not fixed, but can be changed from time to time according to the actual situation. They have different divisions of labor, among which Cao is in charge of the election of officials, so he is the most valued. In addition to several large columns of Cao, there is a more refined Cao Lang. For example, in the era of Sima Yan, there were 35 Cao Lang, such as the Ministry of Officials, the Three Princes, the Ministry of Gold, the Ministry of Warehouse, the Ministry of Water, the Ministry of Vehicles, the Ministry of Treasury, the Metropolitan Officials, and the Transport Cao. These thirty-five Cao did not set up thirty-five Shang Shulang to be in charge of it, but only set up twenty-three Shang Shulang, which was more unified.

To be a small Shangshulang in Shangshutai - of course, to be exact, it can't really be called Shangshulang, because it is less than a year, and at this time it should be called Shoushangshulang, with the meaning of probationary period. Although the official position is not large, he can have access to all kinds of things large and small throughout the country.

Today, Shu Yan is more valuable in Kecao. Kecao was in charge of the affairs of the frontier Siyi and other vassal states. It happened that today there was an envoy from Lin Yi to confess. Shu Yan accompanied him to the Taiji Palace, and a handsome Huangmen waiter came out to summon him. Lin Yi's envoys walked to the emperor's steps. Because of his low rank, Shu Yan stopped and stood by the door of the main hall, at the end of all the officials. In the court, Lin Yi's envoys met with the Son of Heaven of the Great Jin Dynasty and offered tribute. Whenever a vassal country sent an envoy to confess, Sima Yan was overjoyed in his heart. Although he was happy, as the emperor of a great country, he also had to pretend to be cold and majestic, he accepted the tribute, and the messenger retreated.

The radiant Huangmen squire played: "Although my Central Plains is a big country of the Celestial Empire, after a hundred years of disintegration, all the states will no longer see China. For example, this small country of Linyi was originally a vassal state in the Han Dynasty, and during the Three Kingdoms, he did not meet the lord of Wei, let alone Sun Quan. Now I am sending an envoy to pay tribute, which is something that has not been done in a hundred years, which shows the majesty of my Great Jin Son of Heaven. "This Huangmen squire is Wang Yanwang Yifu, one of the Langya Wang families, the cousin of Wang Rong, the secretary of the ministry, and a famous Qing talker in the dynasty.

Xun Miao, the supervisor of the middle school, also said: "Not only a small Linyi, but there are many people who come to the court." ”

The benevolent crowd echoed in unison.
