The winter snow is at the beginning of the day, and the air is cold and fresh. The four fields are white, but there is not much snow on the official road outside the west gate of Xi'an Mansion.

In particular, the long pavilion ten miles away from the city, because it is a must-visit place for officials at all levels to greet and see off their colleagues, and the cleaning is exceptionally clean and attentive.

The sky was just right, and the inside and outside of the long pavilion were full of waving sleeves, especially the group of green-robed officials who occupied the center of the pavilion were the most eye-catching.

The official system of the Great Zhou Dynasty, wearing green robes above the seventh rank and below the fourth grade, the county order of a county, the Taishou of a county, and even the subordinate officials of the state and county, are all listed.

Among the officials of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the status of Beijing officials is transcendent, followed by the officials of the four states of "Pingning and Stability" are the most prominent and special.

Among the fourteen states of the Great Friday, Zhongzhou, where the Jingshi is located, is naturally the core, followed by the four states of Ping, Ning, An, and Ding.

These four states are divided into the southeast, northwest, and northwest of Zhongzhou, with a wide land and many people, rich in things and people, magnificent cities, and strong soldiers, jointly guarding the Dragon Court of the Son of Heaven.

Anzhou is in the west, and the state capital is located in Xi'an, the county seat of Hangu County, and it is the common people who mention Anzhou, and it is always customary to call it in Xi'an, and the rest of Dongping Mansion, Nanning Mansion, and Beiding Mansion are also the same.

Xi'an Mansion City is the first class of the Great Zhou City, called Xijing to accompany the capital, built a huge palace that does not lose the scale of the Beijing Division, and the official government is far beyond the ordinary state capital, in addition to the title can not be encroached upon, you can pull out a set of six departments at any time, in order to assist in government affairs when the Son of Heaven is stationed on patrol.

In this way, there are many officials in Xi'an Mansion, and they are promoted and transferred very frequently, so it can be said that they are frequent visitors to this ten-mile long pavilion, which is not unusual.

It's just that the situation in the pavilion today is a little delicate, and this group of green-robed officials neither gave poems to commemorate them, nor did anyone sing goodbye, but they were extremely quiet.

Everyone in the pavilion is distinct, there is a person standing alone in a corner, although the robe on his body is also a green official robe, but there is no grade of complement and ornamentation, the saber is not armored, neither literary nor martial, it looks nondescript.

This person is in his thirties, his appearance is very ordinary, there is nothing special and outstanding, but in terms of momentum, he is faintly competing with a large number of officials.

He just stood quietly to the west, not caring about the jealousy in the eyes of others.

On the official road in the distance, a lazy white horse took lazy steps, carrying a lazy young man dressed in linen clothes and always closing his eyes and pretending to sleep, and one person and one horse walked leisurely.

What is particularly striking is that the young man in sackcloth is completely lying on his side on the back of a white horse.

He pressed his upper body against the white horse's broad back and hips, bent his arms as pillows, and wrapped his feet around the horse's neck, allowing the white horse to twist his neck in dissatisfaction.

At the foot of this official road that crosses the east and west of the Great Zhou Dynasty and runs horizontally with the river, the more you go to the Central Plains, the more wide and flat it becomes, and the pedestrians, vehicles and horses on the road are more and more.

A small head poked out of the window of a carriage not far ahead, and it was a young and round fat man of seven or eight years old, with a red face, looking curiously at the white horse and the young man in sackcloth on horseback.

The poor white horse was twisted by his master's legs, and his head drooped to slack off, and he could not find even a single grass root on the smooth road, which made it difficult for him to snort with frustration and resentment.

The round little fat man thinks it's funny, hehe.

The white horse seemed to feel the gaze of the little fat man, raised his head suddenly, opened a big mouth, revealing a mouthful of piercing sharp molars and a large area of blood-red gums, and even spewed out a large cloud of white gas from his mouth and nose, which looked very vicious.

The little fat man immediately widened his eyes in surprise, and when his eyes met the two fierce eyes of the white horse, he reacted suddenly, shouted "Youkai", and closed the car window with a bang.

The white horse's original fierce expression disappeared immediately, and he grinned strangely, as if he was smiling silently, which was quite similar to the appearance of someone grinning and grinning.

With such a delay, the speed of progress is getting slower and slower.

The Mai boy didn't raise his eyelids, and opened his mouth to complain: "Ah Wei, our last bag of wine has been drunk by you, instead of being here to make a temperament, it is better to rush to Xi'an Mansion as soon as possible, and then we will have wine and meat." ”

Ah Wei's eyes were shining, but his steps were still weak, even though he had infinite desire in his heart, he had long since taken it to heart about the second master's bewitchment of Wangmei to quench his thirst along the way.

"Why does the second master need to enter the city if he wants to drink wine and eat meat?" someone on the side of the road interjected.

The young man in sackcloth turned over, stared at the green-robed man who was walking down from the long pavilion on the side of the road, and grinned, "You want to take care of the rice?"

"Liu Tugou, the people of the rivers and lakes called the living Yama King, claimed to be the second master of the sick tiger mountain, appeared in the western suburbs of Yangping County a few months ago, slaughtered nearly 100 thieves as soon as he made a move, and then killed and injured outside the east gate of the county town, snatched a military horse, killed and pursued the county army 17 horses, and slaughtered the horse gang in Tianshui County, only in Wuding County sold 77 stolen horses, a month ago and the West Lake Sword Palace Tsing Yi swordsman Pei Dongting a battle, it is said that in the end both were injured, and the name of the murder spread to the rivers and lakes. ”

Second Master Liu's eyes narrowed slightly, and he listened quietly, then glanced at the green-robed official, and said slowly: "Finished?"

The ordinary-looking but arrogant green-robed official smiled slightly and replied: "There are witnesses and physical evidence for all of the above things, and there is no doubt about it, and there are still some rumors about black clothes for white fur, but unfortunately there is no evidence. It's just that it is the duty of the edict to guard the courtyard for the Son of Heaven, and after all, he would rather kill by mistake than misplace. ”

The green-robed official who claimed to be in prison was flat, and there was not much emotion in the narrative, but there was a sense of cold and murder between the lines.

The edict prison, which is different from the prison of the local government and the criminal department, is actually a secret spy who only obeys the orders of the emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty, because he can bypass the above-mentioned yamen to arrest and interrogate, and his actions have always been cruel and domineering.

And Gou Lu is the big boss assigned to the local government by the Imperial Prison, wearing a green robe, without a clear grade, and he can be called a hated ghost in the officialdom.

His appearance in the Long Pavilion today really made those green-robed officials unwinding their appetites.

Liu Tugou smiled brightly, and then said with a straight face: "This Lord Goulu, killing thieves doesn't violate the king's law, right?"

The green-robed goulu shook his head: "Naturally, you don't violate the king's law, but you can go to the government to receive the reward." ”

"Xue Xiaoqi and I hit it off at first sight, the military horse was really injured by mistake, and there was no way to talk about snatching, it was clearly given by him. ”

Liu Tugou's face did not change, and he pushed it clean: "As for the seventeen horsemen of the county army, the seventy-seven horses of the horse gang, and the black clothes and white furs, I really can't understand a word." ”

Having said that, his face was also silent, but in the second master's heart, the dazzling blood color under the snow and on the yellow sand everywhere was extremely vivid, just like yesterday.

The two mirrored each other, and the face of the big spy leader in front of him actually added a little cordiality. I am used to seeing strong winds and waves, but there are only a few waves in front of me, and even the second master's good mood today can't affect half a point.

The green-robed goulu smiled indifferently when he heard this, and said: "It doesn't matter what the truth is, whether it's black or white, it's all up to me to decide with my edict, and the reason is very simple, just because we are the eagle dogs of the Great Zhou Tianzi." ”

This is very interesting, both domineering and unreasonable, but also very reassuring. In all fairness, it's actually quite an appetite for Second Master Liu, of course, provided that you don't say this to Second Master.

Liu Tugou grinned, revealing a mouthful of fine white teeth: "I don't know if the adult is an eagle or a dog?"

The green robe smiled and said, "I haven't asked you yet, you should ask me first, in that case, Second Master Liu, be an eagle or a dog, choose one?"

Liu Tugou was slightly stunned, this hook did not drag his feet at all, and he wanted to recruit an without saying a word.

He asked curiously, "How about being a hawk and how about being a dog?"

"In my edict to prison, except for a great commander, oh, that is, the marquis of the town prison, on the surface, it is a green robe like me who has no grade, to put it bluntly, I am just some errand swordsman. There are two kinds of people who do specific things, the ghost pawn in Tsing Yi and the knife slave in ochre clothes, the difference is obvious, the jailer and the prisoner, the former is a loyal dog, and the latter is a hungry eagle. ”

"Yo he, the edict is really extraordinary, even if it is a dog, it is comparable to the grandmaster elder of the West Lake Sword Palace. ”

"There is no shortage of infamous masters of the Inspiration Realm among the ghost pawns, otherwise how can they suppress those unruly sword-catching slaves? You must know that eagles are fierce birds, hunger will devour the lord, and full will be far away. ”

Liu Tugou was still sitting on Ah Wei's back, his right hand was pressed on his waist, and his index finger rubbed back and forth on the cold spine of Tu Xuan.

"Since the adults are prepared, they should understand that the second master can not be a loyal dog, and he is even more reluctant to be hungry for a full meal...... Say, what do you want the second master to do?"

"Naturally, there is a request for the second master. ”

The green-robed Gou Lu looked up at the second master, and he said this humbly, and he couldn't hear a trace of mockery, as if he was really sincere, but the look on his face was very solemn, with a taste that could not be refused.

He stared at Liu Tugou's eyes, his lips moved slightly, but there was no sound in his throat.

The second master looked down and saw clearly, and the other party said three words.

"Murong Clan. ”

Liu Tugou's heart moved, and he suddenly thought of a beautiful little girl in purple with a black belly.

To be honest, these days, he has even gradually lost sight of Murong Chunxiao's appearance, but he always inadvertently remembered the cold palm that was full of slippery and cold sweat in front of the Flying Immortal Temple on Tianmen Mountain.

The palm of the hand is beautiful, slender and fair, and most of the time he is always playing with a jade hairpin flying sword.

I remember that Murong Xiaoniang'er once proudly showed off to the second master that the three hairpins on her head were actually refined from the Tianmen Sword taken from the Flying Immortal Temple.

She had already named the three flying swords.

One is called "out of the water lotus", and the other is called "vain eyebrows".

The last one is called "Remembering the Old".
