As the most prosperous capital of the dynasty, even if you go out of the city, the main road is still very lively.

There is an endless stream of pedestrians on the official road, countless merchants, and although the weather is cold, because of the relationship between the approaching New Year, the excitement is not less than usual, but it is still excessive.

Baili Slope is not far from the outside of the city, the slope goes up, the height is less than 200 zhang, the radius is hundreds of miles, and the Baili Slope is named because of this.

The tiger is on the mountainside of Bailipo, and Yangliuzhuang is the icing on the cake of this square inch outside the capital.

"That's the right name. ”

On the way up the mountain, there was a young and tall man who sighed so emotionally.

The bluestone path is clean and clean, and the willows are planted on both sides of the path.

But even so, it is still not appropriate for this experienced Jinyi Wei left envoy to relax for this.

He came alone, so when the old housekeeper who opened the door of the manor looked up and down, he didn't make it difficult, but said with a smile: "The son came a little early." At present, the early spring has not yet arrived, and there is no scenery in the village, except for a viewing lake opened up in the middle of the mountainside, you can only climb the observation deck to overlook the entire capital, if you come a little late, when the spring flowers bloom, then it is a chic enjoyment. ”

The kind-faced old butler is decent, hospitable, humble and polite, and it is difficult not to have a good impression, even if Yang Xuyan, who has a lot of blood on his hands, is no exception.

However, the dignified Jinyi Wei Zuo Envoy is not a person who can be taken lightly, and in the opinion of Yang Xuyan, who has handled countless cases and has rich experience, the old housekeeper is really too enthusiastic.

"I have heard that the owner of Yangliuzhuang, Boss Xue, has made friends all over the world, and he has spent countless silver to build Yangliuzhuang to entertain guests from all over the world. ”

Yang Xuyan followed behind the old butler, not in a hurry or slow.

I thought that the old housekeeper would find an excuse to excuse himself, but he didn't expect to agree extremely happily.

"I also said that if the son is here to watch the scenery, it is not the most appropriate time at the moment, even if it is here to overlook the entire Bianjing City, but in the middle of winter, only the boundless silver and white are seen, if you come to see our owner, coincidentally, today the owner of the village happens to be on the village, but the owner of the village has rarely met with the guests outside, and the guests of Yangliuzhuang are also rarely seen, so let me go to report first, whether I see it or not, it is not something that my servant can control, by the way, I haven't asked the son to ask the name of the high surname?"

"Yang Xuyan, just say that I am from the palace. ”

Yang Xuyan replied with a smile.

The old housekeeper was stunned for a moment, and then made a mistake: "It turned out to be a person from the imperial court, no wonder I have an unconcealable nobility in the Gongzi, but the Gongzi should have inquired in advance before coming here, and the owner of my family has rarely dealt with the people of the imperial court......"

"It doesn't matter. ”

Yang Xuyan said bluntly.

"I said I came for a cup, and I am sure that the owner will see me. ”

......

In the Yangliuzhuang Garden, there is a man in a purple shawl robe, with thick eyebrows, and a turquoise pendant hanging from his waist, who is sitting on the desk, waiting for a maid with a large crimson birthmark on his right face.

Seeing that it was the old housekeeper who entered, the man stopped holding the pen in his hand and said in surprise: "The people of the imperial court actually found it so quickly?"

"To see or not to see?" asked the old butler cautiously.

The man known as the owner of the village tapped the middle finger of his right hand on the tabletop, pondered for a moment and said: "If you don't see it, it proves that there is a ghost in your heart, wouldn't you just take the matter of the Nine Dragons Jade Cup on my head?" ”

With that, the man looked at the ugly maid on the side.

"You're going?"

About twenty years old, the maid in simple clothes nodded, quickly walked out from the old housekeeper's side, straight into the backyard, and in front of a rockery in the backyard, groped in a hollow place in the rockery, and saw the rockery rumbling and cracking a gap, the heat wave made the maid frown, but still quickly walked down the long staircase under the gap.

There's a cave down there.

Dozens of blazing stoves emitted bursts of heat, and the thugs in charge of the whipping kept patrolling with horsewhips in their hands, and if there was a lazy person, it was a whip.

Seeing the light shining from the top of his head, one of the scar-faced men with a naked upper body quickly walked up and said to the maid who had just come down and her forehead was covered with beads of sweat, "It's not time to eat yet." ”

The maid, who seemed to be no stranger to the man with his upper body naked, said lightly: "The owner of the village has an order to temporarily suspend work today and let them go back to rest." ”

"That's not going to work. ”

Men speak righteously.

"Who will bear the responsibility for the delay? You must know that we still have a lot of goods at the moment, and we can't go out to buy them openly, and I and my brothers have no good fruit to eat when we are out of business. ”

"Whether you can complete it within the planned time is your business, I am only responsible for conveying the owner's orders, and if you fail to complete the task, there will be punishment, but if it is the owner's business, what the consequences will be, I don't need to say more. ”

The word owner seemed to have infinite deterrent power, so that the scar-faced man could no longer speak, and finally just whipped the whip in his hand on a nearby person, and said angrily: "Go back to Lao Tzu, huh?"

The man dropped the whip, but he felt the whip pause in mid-air before it landed on a young man who was sweating, and the young man who was pulling the bellows was Wang Chuyi.

The horsewhip is extremely powerful, and if it is hit, although it does not hurt the muscles and bones, the skin and flesh must be indispensable, so some means are used to avoid being directly whipped by the horsewhip.

I didn't expect this seemingly rough guy to have such a careful side.

Not only that, Wang Chuyi also felt that there was another pair of eyes on him for a moment, it was the ugly girl.

The scar-faced man was about to have a seizure when he suddenly heard a pop.

A thin man finally couldn't help working like this, and his strength was exhausted and he dizzy.

This kind of movement attracted the attention of the man.

He scolded and left the spot and kicked twice at the man who didn't know whether he was alive or dead, and only after seeing that there was no movement did he say: "Useless thing, quickly find a place to bury him." ”

Wang Chu breathed a sigh of relief, he had already realized that there must be another mystery in this place, and the slanting stairs had proved that there was an exit to this place, and when he heard the word "owner", he didn't plan to leave this place without figuring it out.

But she didn't expect the girl's gaze to come again, under the light of the stove, Wang Chu saw that her eyes were shining with a different light, and the latter said lightly: "New here? I haven't seen you before." ”

Wang Chuyi had already been disgraced by the carbon ash on the furnace wall, and his appearance was not much better than this girl, so he sat on the ground and said dejectedly: "Although I don't know what you do, but in your hands, count me unlucky, don't let me have a chance to escape from here, once I go out, I will definitely give you a little color to see." ”

"I'll wait. ”

The girl smiled coldly.

"But before that, I hope you still have a chance to get out alive, Wu Er, you all listen to me, take good care of this guy, if I come down tomorrow and hear this guy have the strength to speak loudly, then I have something to say to you." ”

After saying that, the girl turned around coldly and returned along the same road, leaving only Wang Chuyi with a stunned face.

Several men surrounded him with a cruel smile, and the horsewhip in his hand kept rubbing in the palm of his hand, eager to try.

Looking at Wang Chuyi's gaze, it was like a few middle-aged men facing a delicate yellow flower girl.

"Stinky woman, I'm not done with you. ”

......

The ugly girl who was closing the rockery again, and the ugly girl who closed the exit faintly heard a curse from below, paused, and did not take it seriously, and returned along the same road, and when she arrived at the owner's garden, she heard a politeness before entering the door.

"I have heard the name of the owner of Xue Zhuang for a long time, and I finally got it today, if it is really worthy of its name, it is only this Yangliuzhuang handwriting that makes me impressed, it is said that in such a cold season, this garden is still so warm as spring, I looked, the grass and trees outside the garden have withered yellow, only here, the lawn has been faintly glowing, presumably Boss Xue used some wonderful method. ”

The girl walked into the door with her left foot, and as soon as she raised her head, she saw a tall young man sitting in the hall drinking tea.

Facing Yang Xuyan's question, the purple-robed man said unhurriedly: "I didn't expect Lord Yang to notice it as soon as he entered the door, and he really deserved to be feared by the Jinyi Guard, and his observation was really meticulous, but I am afraid that it is not enough to say that it is impressive, but I have heard that the palace is called a luxurious style, and I have heard that those three palaces and six courtyards in the palace wall, I don't need to wear thick clothes in winter, what is it compared to the palace?"

The girl who stepped into the door poured hot tea for Yang Xuyan under the signal of the purple-robed man, and then waited on the side in a regular manner, how could she have any sharpness before?

When Yang Xuyan saw this girl, he was just stunned for a moment, and soon returned to nature, he didn't expect to see Boss Xue so easily, not as many fancy intestines as Xiao Wuji, Yang Xuyan said straight to the point: "That is naturally not comparable to the palace, with Boss Xue's big family business, this is really not unusual, after all, just a silver hook gambling house daily income, is enough to make many people red." ”

"Silver Hook Casino?"

The man in the main hall was stunned for a moment, and then said indifferently: "Jinyiwei is investigating me?"
