In the Great Qianguo, if you say that the scenery is beautiful and the scenery is prosperous, it is none other than the south of the Yangtze River. The capital "everyone says that Jiangnan is good, and tourists only meet the old in Jiangnan", the Hangzhou Mansion in the south of the Yangtze River has been a prosperous place for smoke and willows since ancient times, ten miles of Qiantang, light songs and drums, and there are not many rich and noble families in the middle. There is also the smoke and water of the West Lake, the lotus dew in the garden, and the moon shadow of the clear waves, which are even more charming......

This day is the Mid-Autumn Festival, thousands of families are immersed in the joy of family reunion, each has prepared moon cakes, longan, muffin cakes and other seasonal cakes, is waiting for the middle of the night to come, good relatives and friends to gather, enjoy the wine and enjoy the moon......

In the yamen of the prefect of Hangzhou, the prefect Hong Wentang was napping on the desk in the lobby of the prefect. Thinking that the wife and the three aunts in the family were jealous and fighting endlessly, which one should accompany him on this Mid-Autumn Festival night? It really made him hesitate, so that at this moment, in Hong Wentang's sleep, there was still an unbearable scene of several women in the family fighting and quarrelling......

"Report ......"

Suddenly, I heard a shout from a servant, and ran into the lobby in a hurry. Before the official could stand firmly, he panted and reported: "Report! Report to the prefect, there is a person outside the door who asks to see you!"

Hong Wentang raised his head, rubbed his sleepy eyes, and slowly yawned: "What are you doing in a panic, who wants to see this mansion!

The official replied tremblingly: "This person ...... This person is a small one, but looking at his appearance, he should be, he should be a civilian. ”

Hong Wentang "snapped" and slapped the startled wood, and said angrily: "You are so bold! No one has figured it out, for the sake of a mere grass people, you dare to disturb my cultivation and cut off my good dreams! Why don't you beat me out with a stick......

"Your Excellency is angry, that ...... The man was still holding something in his hand. ”

"What's that?"

"Yes...... It's a human head, and it's bloody!"

Hong Wentang was shocked when he heard the news, so he hurriedly gathered a group of officials, opened the hall, and after a group of people shouted "mighty", he ordered the head catcher to bring in the person with the head.

The man who came was burly, dressed in green clothes, holding a stainless steel hundred refining knife in one hand and a bloody human head in the other, with a fierce face. After he entered the hall, instead of kneeling, he squinted at Hong Wentang, as if the prefect in front of him was just a slave in his family.

Hong Wentang slapped the startled wood again and shouted:

"Don't talk about murder, don't kneel down when you see this mansion, take him down left and right first!"

Several officials of the government shouted and were about to step forward to arrest it, but when they saw the burly man, he threw the bloody human head in front of the prefect Hong Wentang, and immediately raised his voice and shouted:

"Who dare!"

This shout was as bright as a bell, and it was buzzing in the lobby of the mansion. Hong Wentang was so frightened that his legs trembled, and at this time, he looked closely at the big man's green clothes, and suddenly remembered something, and he didn't feel a chill behind him, so he changed his tone and asked:

"Who are you? Why did you come to Hangzhou Mansion? Why did you kill people? Quickly and truthfully invite this mansion!"

The big man in Tsing Yi snorted, and a pair of sharp eyes looked straight at Hong Wentang, only to hear him say coldly:

"You are Hong Wentang?"

A catcher in the palace shouted:

"Bold! The name of the mansion is also what you, the people, can shout!"

At this time, Hong Wentang waved his hand to the head catcher, he could vaguely feel that the person who came must have a certain background, the so-called person who came is not good, the good person does not come, and I am afraid that today's hall matter is not easy to deal with. Again, he said gently:

"It's this mansion, dare to ask your Excellency is ?......"

The man in Tsing Yi took out a black sign from his waist, asked the official to hand it to Hong Wentang, and said casually:

"See for yourself......"

As soon as Hong Wentang got the sign, he hurriedly stood up from the chair in an instant......

In the entire prefect's lobby, no one dared not stand when they saw this sign. Although the weight of this black iron brand in Hong Wentang's hands is only eight taels, in his heart, it is as heavy as a mountain.

I saw that the three-inch black iron plate was written on the word "Tsing Yi Wei", and a mighty lion head was engraved on the back......

Hong Wentang knows that according to the official system of the imperial court, the Tsing Yi Wei waist card is divided into dragons, tigers, lions, and bears, and those who can wear the lion card are generally Tsing Yi Wei hundred households, and the official rank is at least a positive five-grade, and he is already in the same column as the five-grade prefect. However, everyone who is an official knows that this Tsing Yi Wei is the emperor's personal guard, and it is under the jurisdiction of the Bei'an Ping Division Prison, and it is a terrifying place.

At that moment, Hong Wentang didn't dare to slack off, hurriedly walked down the case, and said with a smile:

"It turns out that the superior of the Tsing Yi Wei is here, dare to ask what this lord is called, and what is his position in the guard?"

"Tsing Yi Wei Bei Anping Division 100 households, Wang Meng. ”

Hong Wentang hurriedly pulled Wang Meng to his prefect's chair and sat down, and while bowing his hands again and again, he said:

"Oh, it turned out to be Lord Wang, Lord Wang traveled thousands of miles from Beijing to Hangzhou, and this mansion has never been far away, forgive your sins!"

Wang Meng took back the waist card, sat down on the Taishi chair with a big grin, picked up a sweat towel from Hong Wentang, wiped his bloody palm, and still said casually:

"It's easy to say, it's easy to say, I was ordered by the emperor this time to go to Jiading Mansion to issue a decree to recruit talents, and it turned out to have nothing to do with you, but I went back to Beijing and passed by your land, but I found a rare thing, lest Lord Ben want to take action, take care of it!"

Hong Wentang said: "But I don't know what Lord Wang is talking about?"

Wang Meng pointed to the human head at Hong Wentang's feet and said:

"Lord Hong, look at the human head first. ”

Only then did Hong Wentang notice that there was a human head "lying on his stomach" next to his right foot, and he couldn't see clearly for a while because the head and eye touched the ground. The official next to him hurriedly picked up the bloody head, and Hong Wentang stepped forward to take a closer look, and couldn't help but be shocked.
