Volume 1 Lonely Clouds Chapter 43 Peach Blossom Paper
In the north of Fallen Leaf City, the Guanma Avenue leading to Qingshui City is wide and smooth, and it can be said that it is the most carefully paved avenue at the four gates of Fallen Leaf City.
The reason why this is so is also due to the holy place that is second to none in the dynasty, with a high status and fascinated by countless people.
In fact, the Daomen Holy Land, known as the "Genting Purple Smoke", is located on the Genting Mountain in the north of Deciduous Leaf City.
Even the west gate of Fallen Leaf City, the one leading to Tingzhou, where the imperial capital of the National Dynasty, Mirage City, which has the foot of the Son of Heaven and the land of the first goodness, is not as wide as the official horse avenue in the north of the city.
Not to mention the eastern part of the city, which is adjacent to the Jingyu Dynasty, and the sparsely populated south of the city.
At this time, on the official horse avenue, a carriage was roaring towards the north by the moonlight.
After about three or four miles of running all the way, the short man in the Yamen soap coat who was driving suddenly flicked his horsewhip, and at the same time his left hand, which was holding the reins, took it away with a neigh, and rushed down the official road and ran towards the left front.
The man was not in a hurry, and his skills were skillful, except for the violent jolting of the carriage at the moment when it was first frightened, it was not slow or slow, and it was quite swaying.
Although the path away from the official road is neat, it is still not as smooth as the official road.
The man was driving the carriage, his whole face was hidden in the night so that people could not see his expression clearly, the only thing that could be confirmed was that the man who was driving alone in the silence must have been concentrating on things, and he had not made any sound from the moment he left the official road.
Even in the case of the violent bumps in the carriage, the man just swung with the car, steady.
Cool terrible.
In the carriage, a flat-headed man who was also wearing a soap coat was lying on the floor sideways, with a large red and swollen lump on one side of his forehead, obviously because he had just been hit lightly.
The carriage was still swaying, and the man lying in the carriage was motionless with his eyes closed.
After a few minutes, the man on the floor suddenly looked strange, the corners of his lips curled, as if he had hit a volcano in a dream, and his right hand hanging on the ground unconsciously raised, and he subconsciously reached out to touch his forehead.
But before he could make any moves, the driver outside the carriage suddenly became alert, he frowned, stretched out a hand to wipe it on his mouth, and then flicked his fingers into the carriage.
There was a "pop" sound.
A round object the size of a finger flashed quickly, hitting the back of the neck of the man in the carriage impartially, and the poor man who was about to wake up just now passed out again, and the right hand that had not been fully raised before fell down again and slammed on the floor in the carriage.
Inside the carriage, a peach pit with its own saliva dripping and spinning, as if mocking.
The man who passed out was none other than Li Yunfeng, who was robbed by a hunchbacked man in the county government in the city.
An hour ago, after the hunchbacked man knocked Li Yunfeng unconscious, it took a lot of effort to carry him to the corner of the street not far from the county office, and after arriving at the corner where a carriage was hidden, the hunchbacked man breathed a sigh of relief, scolded and threw Li Yunfeng into the car.
When the man went to the north of the city, he didn't even forget to give him some gadgets, to make sure that the guy in front of him wouldn't wake up for no reason before he came back.
It wasn't until all this was done that the man nodded with satisfaction and looked again in the direction of the drunken flower building in the north of the city.
The hunchbacked man sighed slightly, as if he felt something, he took out the piece of paper that he took out of Li Yunfeng's arms and looked at it, and smiled inexplicably.
When the man came back, there was a slightly green peach in his hand for no reason.
Then, the man quietly drove the carriage, wearing the soap clothes that only the yamen had on the errands, and deceived the city gate under the guise of running an errand for the eunuch, and galloped all the way to the north.
I remember that five years ago, when he was still a hunchbacked man with a beautiful manly bearing in Yushu, he stayed in a broken temple on the way to Chongxuanguan to steal the "Danshu Fire Talisman".
There, he wanted to surprise the little girl.
——————
Liu Ling walked on the official road to the government in the city, and it was unusually cold on the empty street.
Deciduous Leaf City is a small city in the Southern Dynasty of the Liang Kingdom, and since its completion, there has been no rule of night patrol by soldiers and soldiers, even in the area of the Central Pastoral Supervisor Chengfu, who is in charge of a city, there are no soldiers with knives to patrol the streets.
During the lifetime of the first emperor, there were two prefectures and three divisions in the city, and at that time, even the city pastoral mansion that could really be called a feudal official of one party had never had this rule. After the witch curse, Zhang Huaishan was impeached and punished, and no one can say whether one of the "picketing" crimes is related to this.
After the revocation of the original city pastoral mansion, the plaque of the prison palace was directly hung up, and the prison department was abolished, and the county minister, who was in charge of the affairs of the inner city, was naturally assigned a part of the rights of the criminal code, and also had an additional post office, and the authority was not small.
If you don't count the Jiming Mountain Division outside the city, the Fallen Leaf City on the bright side is a pattern of one government and two divisions, but everyone knows that the county Chengsi is only a few streets away from the Jiancheng Mansion has actually been a government system for a long time.
The county of Fallen Leaf City can be said to be the most peculiar existence in the entire Southern Dynasty since the Liang Kingdom, and in the final analysis, it is the result of the initial test of the Southern Dynasty's new policy.
That's why the hunchbacked man was able to get the prisoner's carriage out of the night without knowing it.
In the city, as long as the drum is beaten, the pedestrians on the street will slowly disperse, in front of the second drum can be regarded as a curfew, often at this time there will be responsible for patrolling, the inspection of the county government and some of the soldiers of the prison to come out to patrol the street, said to see which timid guys dare to ignore the imperial court ban to wander around at night, in fact, for many years has long formed a rule, nothing more than a few teams of people, you stubble, I stubble, go to the four gates of the city to see if those bustling shops are out of business, it's as simple as that.
Don't look at the lack of urban equipment in Fallen Leaf City, but since the arrival of Lord Xu, who has been reformed and supervised by the Cheng Mansion, the security in the city is much better than before the witch disaster five years ago.
The series of tragedies that have occurred in the city recently can be said to be the biggest case in Fallen Leaf City in recent years.
As for the current hour, in addition to the husband who is telling the time along the street, where can you still see the figure of half of the bad man, even if there is, it can only be regarded as an exception.
If this was in the past, even if Liu Ling came back from a business trip earlier than now, he would definitely not return to the county government at this time, because at this time, the gate of the government would have been closed a long time ago, and there would be no one.
But today is unusual, when he saw the sneaky hunchbacked man in the wine shop in the north of the city earlier, Liu Ling had already noticed that something was wrong, if it wasn't for the guy who came out for no reason, he wouldn't still be hanging with a heart now, and he had to rush back to the yamen to see if he could be safe.
On the street of the palace gate in the center of the inner city, the burly man suddenly sank in his heart after seeing the two wide-open palace doors from a distance.
On both sides of the middle door, two large red lanterns swayed from side to side, and under the steps a few feet square under the light and moonlight, overlapping phantoms appeared and disappeared from time to time.
Liu Ling's face turned pale, and he walked quickly to the feet of the cyan stone lion facing the left side of the gate of the mansion.
With a bang, Liu Ling's whole head seemed to have been smashed a few times with a hammer, he took two steps back, and under the stone carving of the green lion in front of him, the two servants had been stripped of their soap clothes, bleeding from their seven orifices, and had been dead for a long time.
The death is the same as a family of three in the Tonghe dyeing workshop.
The burly man clenched his fists with both hands, his green tendons burst out, he gritted his teeth tightly, and said word by word: "Thief dares?"
Blood was almost oozing from the man's lips.
Fortunately, Liu Ling was not too sad, and after the initial consternation, the burly man squatted down and carefully examined the wounds on the two of them, and it was basically certain that they were the same person's poisonous hands.
Liu Ling stood up and took off her robe, wiped her hands lightly, and after closing the eyes of the two who were not blind, she put a robe on the two of them.
The burly man bowed his head, turned and went up the steps, and after entering the gate, he ran wildly towards the prison where the prisoners were held in the yamani.
Earlier, there was also a prison where a so-called felonist was held, the door was wide open, and it was empty, and there was still half a figure there.
Liu Ling squatted aside, holding an iron cable in his hand, and the closure of the cable head had been broken, as if it had been broken by a sharp weapon.
This person's technique is accurate, and his strength is wonderful, and it is incredible.
At the small table in the main hall of the prison, the two guards on duty were still sleeping soundly.
Outside the north gate of Fallen Leaf City, a man dressed in Miao costume was hesitating outside the door at the moment.
Four days ago, he was ordered by his own father to secretly take care of someone out of the valley, but when he quietly entered the Leaning Moon Valley according to his father's wishes, he turned back and forth for almost three days, and he couldn't see the figure.
Just as he was about to turn around, Gu Nei suddenly broke into a small official wearing a yamen soap robe, but under closer inspection, he was half an acquaintance, and the reason why he said this was just that he recognized him, but he may not recognize himself.
The man originally intended to be bored, and wanted to try the skills of this so-called first head catcher in Fallen Leaf City County, and he didn't want to wait for the fairy master in a moon-white robe, where did he dare to take it, and he got out early.
If the old fairy who was full of fairy spirit stood here at this moment, he would definitely find that the man in front of him was six or seven points similar to the beautiful woman in black clothes and black deer boots with two narrow knives obliquely inserted at her waist.
After the man got out that day, he quietly entered the Fallen Leaf City before dark, and then quietly went to the prison mansion, as for how he was able to enter the mansion of the prison lord, this is another big secret, some years.
To the man's surprise again, when he was approaching the city, he found someone's traces.
So there was the turmoil for tonight.
In fact, in his heart, he was not afraid that someone would be arrested.
He was just afraid that Daddy would be angry and that Sister would be sad.
In the drunken flower building in the north of the city, which is full of fragrant flowers when the flowers bloom, through the vermilion lacquer round arch, you can see the warm incense pavilion from afar.
Through the window pasted with white sandpaper of fish scales, on the dressing table of the woman in the room, a boxy piece of paper lay quietly.
A small hole has been pierced in the corner of the paper, and a small line of small text has appeared on the reverse side.
Outside the house, the phosphorus butterfly that was still lying on the window was long gone, and on the stone table in the open space where dozens of peach trees were planted, there were a few more green peaches that looked like they had just been picked.
It's just that I don't know where the peach blossom people face each other, and whether they can still sit and laugh at the spring breeze!
