You Jingwu pretended to be the magistrate to hide people's eyes and ears, but he never expected to be recognized. He said in his heart: It's not good, it's revealing now.

Lu Dahu walked in front of You Jingwu and arched his hand: "Yu Zhixian." ”

You Jingwu was stunned: "Ah, you are."

Lu Dahu said with a smile: "The nobles of Yuzhi County are so forgetful." I am Lu Dahu under Zhang Yanshi, the Yamen of the Shandong Metropolitan Division. Three years ago, you went to Jiangnan to take up a post, passing through Jinan, and we had dinner together. What's the matter, you're going back to Beijing to get promoted? ”

When Lu Dahu said the three words "Zhang Yishi", he deliberately accentuated his tone.

You Jingwu remembered. This Lu Dahu is the personal captain of Zhang Cai, the left servant of Jinyi Wei.

You Jingwu had sent a letter to Wei Li before, revealing that he pretended to be the magistrate and sent Liang Bohong to Beijing.

You Jingwu said secretly: It should be my father-in-law who sent him to pick me up at the North Tibetan Station. Strange, why did his old man only send one person?

You Jingwu said to Lu Dahu: "Ah, I remembered. Lu Baihu in Shandong. It's been a long time, don't come unharmed. ”

Lu Dahu said: "It's still that hanging sample." I haven't been promoted to one and a half levels in three years. ”

You Jingwu said: "Let's go, go to my room on the second floor." I brought some souvenirs from Jiangnan and shared some with you. ”

Then You Jingwu arched his hand towards Wang Yiyi: "Lord Wang, I'll go up first." ”

Wang Yi smiled: "Please." ”

Lu Dahu followed You Jingwu to the second floor, and closed the door in the bedroom.

Lu Dahu arched his hand: "The subordinate captain Lu Dahu has seen You Ye." ”

You Jingwu said: "Excuse me." Why did Wei Li send you alone? ”

Lu Dahu sighed: "I have poured blood mold for eight lifetimes." Chang Shuai ordered Zhang to send someone to answer them. Zhang sent a total of 20 capable brothers to the North Tibetan Station. ”

"According to the rules of the guard, the boss has an order, not to mention the heavy rain, even if we get a knife, we have to rush here."

"When I was passing a section of the mountain road, there was a mudslide on the mountainside. Nineteen brothers were buried! I was the only one who was lucky enough to gallop and not be swallowed by the mudslide! ”

You Jingwu was stunned: "What? Nineteen brethren lost?! ”

Lu Dahu gritted his teeth: "Yes." Jin Yiwei has not been killed or injured in more than ten years. God doesn't have long eyes! ”

Speaking of this, Lu Dahu lowered his voice: "Master Chang asked me to tell you." He got reliable information that someone had bought off the killer and was ready to attack Liang Bohong at the Beizang Station. ”

You Jingwu was secretly shocked when he heard the news: The news that I entered Beijing by land is only known to my father-in-law and a limited number of people. Who leaked the news, and the killer actually knew that I would pass through the Beizang Station?

Facing his subordinates, on the surface, he still had to pretend to be calm: "Okay." I knew it. ”

At this moment, You Jingwu heard a loud shout from downstairs: "Get out!" ”

You Jingwu pushed open the door, stood in the corridor on the second floor, and looked towards the hall on the first floor.

I saw a raged septuagenarian man kneeling in the hall on the first floor with a little girl of five or six years old. The two were covered in dirt and had unkempt hair. Looks like a beggar.

The old man was busy kowtowing to the post: "Your Excellency, you can do it." Outside, it was smoking, and it was raining. The doll is still small, and I am afraid that I will lose my life from cold fever if I drench it overnight. You accumulate virtue and do good, let us two hide for a night."

Yi Cheng scolded: "Blind your dog's eyes." This is the post station of the imperial court, not a land temple or a beggar's nest! Someone, what are you doing in a daze? Get these two beggars out! ”

One of the two post guards dragged the old man by the arm, and the other slipped the little girl up like a chicken.

Wang Yi, the county magistrate who was sitting on the first floor drinking, couldn't stand it.

Wang Yi said: "Slow! ”

Yi Cheng turned his head to look at Wang Yi: "I said Lord Wang, this is not a ghost place where the birds under your rule don't." You said it doesn't count. ”

Wang Yi casually took out a jade pendant from his waist and put it on the table: "This thing belongs to you." Let the grandfather and grandson stay. Give them another pot of hot noodle soup. ”

Yi Cheng walked up to Wang Yi, picked up the jade pendant and looked at it carefully by candlelight: "This thing is not a fake, right?" ”

Wang Yi said: "Although it is an inferior jade, it is also worth fifty taels of silver." I, an official of the imperial court, how can I deceive people with fakes? ”

Yi Cheng said: "Leave them? Where do they stay? ”

Then Yi Cheng raised his hand and pointed at You Jingwu on the second floor: "He alone brought fifty followers." The bunks where the servants live are full, where is the place where the two beggars sleep? You can't let them live in the officials' bedrooms, right? ”

"The bedding in the official's bedroom is rumored to have lice on it, that's not fun! One day, which feudal official stayed in the North Tibetan Post and was bitten by lice. Am I not a good poster? ”

Wang Yi said: "Just let them sleep in the hall on the first floor." Saving someone's life is better than creating a seventh-level floating slaughter. Can you bear to let this grandson freeze and starve to death in the heavy rain? ”

Yi Cheng looked at the jade pendant in his hand and put it in his sleeve: "Yes, you bodhisattva heart, I will also accumulate some virtue." Let them sleep in the lobby on the first floor at night. Come on, cook pot noodles for these two beggars. ”

The old man was busy kowtowing: "Thank you, adults." You good people must be rewarded. One quasi-step by step to become a first-class official, gave birth to eighteen sons, six animals prospered, oh no, the children and grandchildren prospered. ”

You Jingwu on the second floor instructed Basha: "Find a few brothers to stay on duty in the hall all night tonight, and watch over the two grandchildren." ”

Basha said, "Do you suspect that these two are assassins?" ”

Lu Dahu said: "I think the ancestors and grandchildren are ordinary beggars. ”

You Jingwu said: "My father-in-law often tells me that I should be careful to sail a ship for ten thousand years. Let's be cautious and designate it. ”

The northern Tibetan post on a rainy night is very lively.

Just entered, an old and a young beggar. The door was pushed open again.

This time it was a charming woman who came in. The woman walked with her waist twisted and her hips swinged, and a red silk silk was stuffed around her waist.

The Qinglou women of the Ming Dynasty have to stuff a red silk silk around their waists, and they have to tie a red rope with meat in their clothes. A red rope is also tied around the ankle, and a gold or silver bean is worn on the red string.

Tie a red rope on the waist and ankles is a superstition of the women of the Qinglou. They believe that this will keep them safe and avoid diseases.

And the women of Qinglou are also dignified. When receiving guests, having a red rope on your body is not considered naked.

As for the red silk silk around the waist, it is a kind of signboard, indicating that you can sleep if you give money, rather than a "goldfish" who sells her art and does not sell her body.

The charming woman was followed by four turtle males, carrying a large box.

Yi Cheng was happy: "When did my Beizang Post become a big car shop on Donkey Egg Street in Nancheng?" What are the three religions and nine streams pushing the door and going in? ”

The charming woman said in a seductive, debauched voice: "Are you a post?" I'm here to sleep with you, do you love it? ”

Yi Cheng pointed to his white beard: "Girl, we young people don't know what is expensive, and now that we are old, we can only look at women and cry." It's useless for you to deal with me. ”

"This is the post station of the imperial court, and it will never take in the fans!"

The charming woman picked up the red silk silk and wiped the rain on her face: "Yo." I'm no ordinary fan. I am the top brand of Yihong Mansion in Beijing. I just took over an unlucky job and went to Cangzhou to serve Gao Langzhong, the driver of your military department. It's good, I can't go back to Beijing in the heavy rain! ”

The post stations in the world are all under the management of the Ministry of War.

Gao Langzhong, which Cuixian said, is the top boss of all the post men and post soldiers in the Ming Dynasty.

Yi Cheng knew that Gao Langzhong had recently inspected post stations and post roads in various prefectures in Beizhili.

Yi Cheng showed a pandering smile on his face: "Ah, it turned out to be Gao Langzhong's good friend." ”

Cui Xian scolded with a smile: "Who is good with him? I ran from the capital to Cangzhou, and he stabbed me twenty times and it was over, and asked me to go home. I want to have such a good relationship, and I will not die of drought! ”

After speaking, Cui Xian took out a post coupon from his sleeve: "This is the post coupon opened by your Gao Lang." Prepare a room for me. ”

On the second floor, You Jingwu listened to the conversation downstairs, and secretly said in his heart: The civil officials of the Ming Dynasty are really ridiculous. The post voucher is a post voucher issued by the imperial court to civil officials. Gao Langzhong actually opened a post ticket for a fan. It just so happens that my father-in-law is collecting hundreds of officials' illegal affairs. This is proper lawlessness. I'll have to report it.

Basha was a little strange: "You Ye, there is something strange. ”

You Jingwu asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Basha replied: "There is no Cuixian in Yihong Mansion!" ”

Yihong Mansion was opened by Saitanghong, and later Xu Fatzi, Zhang Heling, and Zhang Yanling also bought shares in it.

In the words of later generations, Yihong Mansion was a stronghold for Jinyi and Guardsmen to have fun.

You Jingwu is an honest person who is dedicated and never visits Qinglou. Since marrying Yan Song's sister-in-law, she and her wife are like glue.

He didn't know anything about the things in Yihong Mansion.

Lu Dahu said on the side: "I've seen someone pretending to be a golden branch and jade leaf, but I've never seen someone pretending to be a fan of Qinglou." This person has a problem, possibly an assassin. ”

You Jingwu lowered his voice: "Let's wait and see." ”

Inside the lobby on the first floor. Yi Cheng said half-jokingly: "The bedroom where the official lives is full, and the bunk where the entourage lives is also full." Lady Cuixian, you can't sleep on the slate on the first floor bare. ”

Yi Cheng wanted to embarrass Cuixian and let her reward some silver.

is a good poster, and the woman whose boss has slept on him, he has to squeeze out two taels of oil. People like him are afraid that the big dung truck will be left at the door of the house, and they will have to reach out and taste the saltiness.

Cuixian pinched her waist: "The bedroom is full?" It's not easy! ”

After speaking, Cuixian raised her voice and shouted, "I said that the adults who live in the post station, who is lonely tonight?" I sleep with him! No overnight pay! ”

"It's so stormy tonight, it's cold and cold. Isn't it better to have a meat quilt cover that doesn't cost money? ”

You Jingwu on the second floor said to Lu Dahu: "You sleep with her tonight." Looked at her. ”

A bright smile bloomed on Lu Dahu's face: "Then your subordinates are welcome!" ”

This smile. Not at all like a man who had just died nineteen of his brothers.

Lu Dahu shouted towards the hall on the first floor: "Ha, this is really what people want." I was shouting just now that I want a! This kind of stormy day is the most suitable for stealing incense and jade! Miss Cuixian, you will sleep with me tonight! ”

Cui Xian shouted freely: "Look at your tall and big horses, shouldn't you be the same as the silver-like pewter spear head in the military department, and you can stab it twenty times and it's over, right?" ”

Lu Dahu shouted: "Just try it!" If I don't want you to cry dad and call my mother to beg for mercy, I'll write it upside down! ”

After speaking, Lu Dahu and You Jingwu went downstairs.

Yi Cheng looked at the four turtle males behind Cui Xian: "There is no place for the shop." They slept in the first-floor hall with the two beggars tonight. ”

You Jingwu walked around the big box carried by the turtle fathers and asked, "Miss Cuixian is rich." Let that Gao Langzhong stab twenty times, and get such a big box of silver? ”

Cui Xian smiled: "Fart! The old thing was a dead man, and he gave the old lady a total of three hundred taels of silver. The old lady has a post ticket, and she can stay at the post station, use the official carriage, and take the post road. I always have to rely on this post coupon to make another profit. ”

"Cangzhou is close to the sea. This box is filled with dried abalone and dried sea cucumbers imported from Cangzhou. Transported back to Beijing to sell to the sisters of Yihong Mansion, it is also a bet. ”

You Jingwu heard this and didn't ask any more questions.

Lu Dahu unceremoniously grabbed Cuixian's hand: "Let's go, little girl." Go to my room, let's go to bed early, and get there early tomorrow morning. ”

At this time, there were a total of six groups of people in the North Tibetan Station.

You Jingwu and fifty robes, and Liang Bohong, the criminal officer.

Wang Yi, the magistrate of the county who returned to Beijing to report on his work, and several entourages.

Two beggars, one old and one young.

Lu Dahu, who came to answer.

Cuixian and the four turtle males who falsely claimed to be the "top brand of Yihong Mansion".

There are also post keepers and seven post guards at the post station.

Lu Dahu claimed that Chang Feng asked him to bring a message to You Jingwu: The killer will do it in Beizangyi.

The killer must be hiding among the other five groups.

The hall on the first floor is facing the bunk where the entourage lives. Liang Bohong was in the shop. Therefore, You Jingwu did not rush upstairs to sleep, but sat in the hall on the first floor.

The four turtles who walked with Cui Xian sat resting against the box; The old man and the little girl sat on the ground and ate hot noodle soup.

You Jingwu sat opposite Wang Yi, chatting with each other. From time to time, his gaze swept to the door of the shop.

Wang Yi sighed: "Alas, today's government is really corrupt to the extreme. A fireworks woman was able to live in a post station with a post ticket opened by the military department officer, and swaggered through the market. The dignified imperial court station, what is the difference between tonight and the Qinglou? ”

"I didn't dare to say anything about the fireworks woman in Laizhou Mansion. I want to quietly pick up the county government and quietly send it back to the Qinglou after finishing the matter. ”

You Jingwu said casually: "Yes, the upper beam is not right and the lower beam is crooked." The ministers of the Ministries and Courts in Beijing played more flamboyant and flamboyant. ”

Wang Yi asked, "Oh? It seems that Lord Yu is very familiar with the officialdom of the capital. ”

You Jingwu knew that he was speechless: "Oh, I also heard about it. ”

At this moment, the seductive shouts of women and the "creak" sound of the foot of the bed came from the second floor.

Wang Yi smiled: "The movement is so big! It is worthy of Qiu Ba of the Guard's Army. ”

You Jingwu secretly said in his heart: This Lu Dahu is just fine, the fake show has to be done. At least I can keep an eye on this suspicious woman tonight.

Yi Cheng, who was roasting the fire on the side, interjected: "I really envy Lu Baihu." I was like that when I was younger. Alas, when people get old, the saddest thing is to recall what they were like when they were young. ”

The little girl who ate noodles asked the old man: "Grandpa, what is the big sister shouting?" ”

The old man said perfunctorily: "She made a mistake and was beaten on it." ”

After speaking, the old man poured all the remaining white noodles in his bowl into his granddaughter's bowl: "Eat quickly." ”

Wang Yi went upstairs, went back and forth after a short time, and put a tin wine pot and a paper bag in front of You Jingwu.

Wang Yi said with a smile: "This is a special product of Laizhou Mansion in Shandong, Cheng Guo roast chicken, Laizhou special song." It's a long night, let's have a drink? ”

You Jingwu was afraid that Wang Yi would poison the wine and roast chicken, and it was not good for the school captain cat "Rabbit" to test for poison.

So You Jingwu shirked and said: "It's shallow in the lower amount." I have already drunk half a pot of rice wine just now, and I am afraid that drinking it again will cause me a headache. Lord Wang, you can use it for yourself. ”

Wang Yi nodded. I opened the paper bag and tore off a chicken leg. walked up to the grandfather and grandchild and put the chicken leg into the little girl's bowl: "Little baby, try the chicken leg." ”

The old man hurriedly said: "My lord is really a good man! Twenty sons are born to adults! ”

Wang Yi said with a smile: "If you really give birth to twenty sons, it will be a big trouble." ”

The old man said: "The adults are in front of the big officials, and the family is rich and noble." Can you still afford to feed a doll like our poor family? ”

Wang Yi said: "I can afford to feed." But when I die, twenty sons fight for family property, and I can't beat people's brains into dog brains? ”

You Jingwu didn't want to listen to Wang Yi's chatter with the old man. His eyes were fixed on the door.

Suddenly, the door to the bunk opened. One of You Jingwu's men walked out.

The hand looks flustered and seems. Something went wrong.
