At night, the darkness was terrifying, the streets were quiet, the wind was accompanied by the sound of light footsteps, it seemed to be nothing, and then it became more and more urgent, and finally disappeared with a bang.

Several people dressed in official clothes appeared on the side of the road.

"Why are people gone? Did you enter the mansion in front of you? ”

"There's no need to guess, we went in and searched, tracked for a few days, chased from Lin'an to Wushuang City, how could we not let him escape!"

At this time, the man at the head said: "Search? I'm afraid not, you don't look at the mansion of someone in front of you, break into it late at night, I'm afraid you won't be able to go back!! ”

"Don't worry, who dares to stop our Lin'an Divine Guards!"

"Blind your dog's eyes, in front of you is the Dragon Mansion of the King of Beiping, people who can't even offend us adults, are you looking for death!"

"This ...... Forgive the villain's clumsy eyes, it turned out to be the residence of the king of Beiping!! As he spoke, he gasped twice and almost lost his life.

"But the king of Beiping has always been loyal and righteous, and he will not favor this thief!"

"What if this thief is the man of the King of Beiping? The king of Beiping has the power of life and death, so we are not seeking our own death. ”

The crowd exclaimed, "No! Is the king of Peking such a person? I heard that the king of Beiping had made great contributions to the dynasty, how could this be? ”

"I'm just guessing, when we enter the Beiping Palace, whether it's right or wrong, it's not something we can manage, let's leave here, report it truthfully, presumably the adults won't blame us!"

The crowd said: "Good! ”

With that, several people disappeared into the night.

The next day, the file of Lin'an Mansion was reported to Wushuang City, the capital of the Imperial Dynasty, and a nationwide wanted thief was ensued.

The people of the whole city are hotly discussing, "Who is so bold?" Dare to steal the quicksand stone that the Northern Regions Kingdom paid tribute to! ”

A couple of elegantly dressed young men discuss a wanted warrant that has just been issued in a teahouse.

"This thief is really impatient, who would dare to go against our dynasty today?"

"I don't know who did it, but this bounty is really tempting, one thousand taels of silver, enough for a family of three to eat for a lifetime, enough to open a single room in the Yellow Crane Tower for a long time!"

A young man holding a fan in the middle of the sitting said with a smile: "Money can make ghosts grind, such a high bounty, such a big danger, someone has done it, it's all because it's worth it!" ”

"Oh? Could it be that Brother Huang knows what is hidden? Who will you offend if you steal quicksand stones? ”

"Brother Wang, I don't know who to offend, the value of quicksand stone alone is enough to make people desperate!"

Everyone was shocked: "Could it be that Brother Huang knows what this quicksand stone is for?" We are all in the top few in the literary exam, not to mention the world, I am afraid that there are few people in the Dengke list who can surpass us, but I have never heard of quicksand stone! ”

Huang smiled: "A few sons, it's not surprising that you don't know, what I have learned is the articles recorded in the literary examination, although there are also some additional files, but after all, there are not many, how can the strange things in this world be completely recorded in the literary examination?" ”

Brother Wang: "Oh, Brother Huang, don't sell Guanzi, see that you are confident, say quickly, what is this quicksand stone?" ”

"Actually, you don't know that there is another reason, that is, we don't need it when we learn literature, but it is more important than a thousand gold for those who practice martial arts!"

"Oh! No wonder we haven't heard of it, so what's the use of it, and it's worth the risk! ”

Huang picked up the paper fan and shook it and said slowly: "Although this quicksand stone is a stone, it is very peculiar, people can take it, after drinking it with water, you can feel the internal organs in the body, and even slowly control it yourself, and the person who gets this thing is a step to the sky!" ”

Brother Wang was shocked: "Control the internal organs? Isn't this something that only a little grandmaster can do? ”

Everyone was silent for a while, this news was too shocking, I didn't expect the quicksand stone to be so precious.

Huang: "Quicksand stone is a specialty of the Northern Regions, the Northern Regions is close to the North Sea, I don't know what the sea water and what slowly formed the quicksand stone, the people who caught the fish found it, and finally it spread!" ”

Brother Wang: "It is worthy of Brother Huang, you can know such ciphertexts, and the first place on the Dengke list is indeed worthy of its name!" ”

Brother Huang: "Where is it, this is just a general history of my family, I happened to see that it is not a ciphertext, but just a lot of strange and interesting things outside the literary test!" ”

Everyone was even more curious: "Hurry up, let's not get drunk today, let's talk about it, let me wait to open my eyes!" ”

"Haha, good!"

………………

In the Phantom Pavilion of the Imperial Palace, several maids were practicing dance to please the dignitaries and nobles.

There is a small lake in the pavilion, the water is clear and visible, and the swimming fish are everywhere, and several women are dancing on a raised boulder in the pavilion.

In the pavilion was the seat of the watchman, and two young men in splendid yellow clothes were drinking each other, but both of them were frowning and very serious.

"Big brother, I've always listened to you, but this matter is too ...... How are we good? ”

"Alas, I'm also worried, this matter is too big!"

"Big brother, we have to make a choice early, otherwise it won't work! To do it or not to do it, you have an idea! ”

There was silence, the sound of the ticking flute, and the graceful dancing of the maids could not attract the slightest attention from the two people in the pavilion.

"Actually, we didn't have a choice, we just ............!"

"Then do it, I listen to my eldest brother, it's bitter......"

"Bitter? I'm afraid not! I've been in a state of panic lately, dreaming every night, capricious, and I'm afraid it's not that simple! ”

"Is there still a variable? No, everything is arranged, how can it? ”

How could a sound enter the ears, the heart of the person who was called the eldest brother suddenly tightened, getting tighter and tighter, and hurriedly pressed it with his hand, and it was relieved after a while.

The person next to him was frightened: "Big brother, what's wrong with you, you're not feeling well?" Passing on the Imperial Doctor?? ”

The eldest brother hurriedly restrained the hurried little brother and said slowly: "I probably understand, although you and I are half-brothers, the two of us are the closest, like brothers, I have been sensitive since I was a child, and I will have a strong premonition and judgment of some things!" ”

The younger brother hurriedly said: "The younger brother naturally knows about this, otherwise my father would not have valued you so much back then, but he was afraid of you...... That's why you cut your military power, what do you say about me, what do you say about this, there is absolutely no other thing! ”

Big brother: "I have no premonition from knowing this matter to now, the previous feeling has never appeared again, I'm afraid things will become upside down, difficult to clean up, how can you just make me feel a great danger, just disappear in one moment, we must not participate in this matter, just like in the past, do nothing, let it be fate!" ”

The eldest brother's face was solemn, and the younger brother hurriedly said: "Since this is the case, then let's continue to drink and enjoy the dance!" ”

………………

The Biyou Pavilion in the outer courtyard of the palace is a place for ministers to discuss court affairs, and it is not far from the main hall to facilitate the courtiers to prepare reports and some related matters. At this time, after the retreat from the dynasty, the three ministers were discussing a very important matter.

"Whether this matter is reported or not! I'm afraid the consequences will be serious! ”

"Nothing serious! I think we can report it directly, and we didn't mean to target it, but just reported it according to the truth, what can he do with us! ”

At this time, Wu Liangfu, the secretary of the Criminal Department, said: "Yes, it is our duty to report this matter truthfully!" What can he do? Rest assured! ”

Another Si Wei said, "It's better to inform the Lord of the Mansion in advance, wouldn't it be the best of both worlds for him to report it!" ”

Wu Liangfu said with a smile: "The Lord of the Lord Mansion is old, everything is big and small, and small things are nothing, this matter is his business, the personal relationship between the two is okay, I think I will hide it!" If you two are afraid, I will report it to you tomorrow, and I will bear the consequences alone! ”

The two bowed slightly: "Then trouble Lord Wu!" ”

Seeing that the two of them were cautious and out of the way, Wu Liangfu was overjoyed in his heart.

The Criminal Department was in charge of the investigation, pursuit, interrogation, and punishment of all cases throughout the Imperial Dynasty, and the criminal department was responsible for the execution of cases decided by the government offices throughout the country. Siwei is responsible for counting the large and small cases in the country, and the larger cases need to be reported to the emperor, and then the emperor decides how to deal with them. In the imperial dynasty, the rights of many high-ranking officials and nobles were above the criminal department, which was also an official position established to prevent others from being lawless. Si Wei has the right to report directly to the emperor without going through the chief official of the Criminal Department, so as to avoid fraud and misconduct.

Watching the two leave, Wu Liangfu didn't leave, and slowly sat back again, as if he was waiting for someone.

After a while, a person came in from outside the pavilion, this person was in simple green clothes, the court clothes were engraved with dragons and phoenixes flying together, and there was a silk gold border on the official hat!

Wu Liangfu saw this person come in and hurriedly bowed down and said, "My lord! ”

"How's it going?"

"Don't worry, my lord, both of them are afraid to speak, and I will report to the court tomorrow!"

The man in Tsing Yi smiled: "Very good, this matter is done, and I won't treat you badly!" ”

Wu Liangfu hurriedly said: "It is the honor of the villain to do things for the adult, and I don't ask for anything in return!" ”

"Excellent! Ha ha! ”

………………

"Master, going to court tomorrow is a big deal, which court clothes are you wearing!"

"It's okay, the old man has always been informal, just take the previous court clothes!"

"Then how can it be done, tomorrow is the annual festival of the imperial dynasty, officials from all over the country are coming, the emperor attaches so much importance to this matter, how can he be careless!"

"Hehe, madam, it's up to you!"

The beautiful woman in the room smiled with satisfaction: "Okay, just wear this newly completed new court dress, which is woven from the feathers of Xinnanyan, which is very comfortable!" ”

"Well, just as Madame said!"

Nanyan is a kind of cherished bird when the dynasty was not established, the number is very small, wearing the clothes woven by Nanyan feathers in winter and cool in summer, close to the skin of the body, and then the war raged, Nanyan has fled and disappeared without a trace. Later, the dynasty was established and stabilized for more than 30 years, and Nanyan appeared on this land again, but there was a trace of gold on the feathers, which was more gentle and comfortable, so it was called New Nanyan.

On the Kyushu continent, gold is the most noble color and represents many legends! The number is small, so Xinnanyan's clothes are ridiculously expensive, even the simplest clothing also requires a thousand taels of silver, not to mention the court clothes, there are only seven officials who can wear golden clothes to the court except for the prince.

The person in the house is the famous king of Beiping of the dynasty - Long Yu!
