It was a day of low clouds and strong winds, there was no sun, the world was gray, and cold was the most distinctive feature of the season. Zhumen's wine and meat stink, there are frozen bones on the road, it is always good to have an official and a half-job, and he will never starve in times of famine and freeze in cold.

"It seems that today is another peaceful day," he stood in front of the household department, raised his head and looked at the gloomy sky, and said in his heart, "Since it's okay, why don't you close the warehouse door and go home to drink wine and eat meat!" Thinking of this, he smiled, turned around and walked into the door of the household department.

After a while, he closed the door and came out. He walked briskly down the stone steps of the household, thinking of the wine at home and the laughter of his concubine, his heart was proud, and his steps seemed extremely joyful. In the courtyard, he met three of his colleagues, all wrapped in mink furs and hats, but they still felt the cold. So, everyone folded their hands and craned their necks, like turtles, to keep their skin from being exposed. After exchanging a few words with three of his colleagues, he walked out of the courtyard gate, and just as there was a carriage parked on the opposite side of the road, although it was only a few steps from home, he was the man in charge of the treasury, and he was never short of money. Therefore, if he can enjoy it, he will not embarrass himself.

"Where is the master?" asked the coachman. This is the coachman's experience, but all the people who come out of these compounds are people with frightening official positions, and it is not wrong to call the master.

"Squire's Mansion!" he didn't even look at the coachman, dropped a word, and got into the car himself.

When the coachman heard this, he could not help glancing at him, but the coachman only saw the side of his face, and saw that he had a small pillar of flesh on his ear, and smelled the fragrance of lotus flowers on him. At that moment, the coachman's expression was very complicated, with an element of disgust and envy. The coachman also replied with only two words:

"Okay!" except that the tone of his two words was as melodious and cheerful as the voice of the old bustard in the brothel when he solicited prostitutes.

Suddenly, another man came in the carriage! The coachman was unconscious, but Li Shilang was taken aback, but he did not dare to scream, because the man had put a bright dagger on the tip of his nose, and the cold blade had been chilling his heart.

After settling down, he saw clearly that the other party had a pair of sword eyebrows, a pair of eyes that were so warm that they seemed to be able to speak, his appearance was handsome, and it was not an exaggeration to describe it as a jade tree in the wind; such a person should not seem to be a person who blocked the road and robbed, his white robe was clean and neat, and he was born with an otherworldly nobility. In fact, at this moment, Li Shilang had already guessed who the person who was coming! Because, he was a thief, especially in the past few days, when he heard about Wu Shuang's various behaviors, he also faintly felt that this person named Wu Shuang would find him sooner or later! In this way, he was also prepared to deal with it in advance.

"Your Excellency is Wu Shuang?" he thought that taking the initiative would make what he said more convincing.

"That's right. The other party said coldly.

"Wu Shaoxia, you are finally here, I have been waiting for you for a long time!" he said in an excited tone, just like the excited tone of a child who had been away from his hometown for a long time and saw his father.

Wu Shuang was very puzzled, a hesitant look appeared on his face, Li Chunsheng was very happy when he saw it, proving that his words had a great effect in the other party's heart. Therefore, he struck while the iron was hot and then added:

"I've been waiting for you!"

"What do you mean by that?" Wu Shuang asked puzzled.

The carriage had already crossed the Jinshan Bridge, and the coachman did not dare to inquire about any situation inside, because it was a big man sitting in it—it was his duty to drive the car well.

"That is to say, I will tell you the whole truth about the theft of the treasury!"

"What kind of truth!" Wu Shuang still asked him coldly.

"Why don't you ask me, who told me to do this?"

"Who is it?"

"The military department is still in the book of Ganzi copper. ”

"Why would he want you to do that?"

"On the evening of 10 August, Gan Zitong and Wailang Hu Wei approached me and asked me to cooperate with them, otherwise he would send someone to kill my entire family! Therefore, he sent a carriage, and in the evening, when the yamen was empty, I opened the treasury door of the treasury and asked them to remove 500,000 taels of gold and silver. After they left, they asked me to go to Taishi's Mansion to report to Taishi Xu, saying that a person named Wu Shuang and She Gang just now suddenly broke into the treasury and took away 500,000 taels of silver!"

"I see!" Wu Shuang muttered to himself, and he asked him again, "Then you, what is the purpose of waiting for me to come?"

"The purpose of my waiting for you to come is to tell you the truth of the matter," Li Chunsheng said, "After that, the two of us will go to the Taishi Mansion together to clarify the facts, find out the two thieves Gan Zitong and Hu Wei, and also return the innocence of the governor, Wang Zhi and his son!"

Listening to his words, Wu Shuang thought that what he said was the truth. So he removed the dagger from his nose and said to him:

"It turns out that Lord Li is also forced to do so, I have offended a lot just now, please forgive me!" he said and carried the dagger upside down and bowed to him.

Li Chunsheng sighed and said:

"The person who asks for forgiveness should be me! It's not because the old man is weak and incompetent, how can you implicate Wu Shaoxia, you have suffered so many wrongful crimes!"

Wu Shuang smiled warmly, looked at the rapidly passing street scene outside the window, and said leisurely:

"Perhaps, this is all an ordeal we should go through!"

"Alas!" Li Chunsheng sighed and said, "If it weren't for the fact that the Taishi Mansion was giving him a funeral today, we would now go to Taishi Xu, just in time!"

Of course, Wu Shuang knew that today's Taishi Mansion was holding a funeral for Mo Sijiang, the commander of the cavalry, and he also knew that it was not appropriate to appear rashly at this time. Therefore, he nodded silently in acquiescence.

Seeing this, Li Chunsheng immediately said:

"If you don't wait for tomorrow, after the retreat, the funeral will be completed, and the Taishi will also retire to the court at home;

"Then it's decided," Wu Shuang said, "We'll go tomorrow after the Taishi retreats and goes home, but, where will I wait for you then?"

"Oh! Li Chunsheng said, "You wait for me at the east gate of the Taishi Mansion, and when the time comes, as soon as I finish retreating, I will rush over." ”

"That's good!" Wu Shuang said, "I'll get off here, we'll see you tomorrow!"

Li Chunsheng immediately called the carriage to stop, Wu Shuang clasped his fists with him, and then turned around and stepped out of the carriage. The carriage continued to move along the street, making a sound on the road! At that moment, Wu Shuang felt more relaxed than he had ever felt before, as if the weight of a thousand catties on his shoulders had landed, as if the world had suddenly become more beautiful than he had imagined! However, he suddenly remembered the funeral of his good brother Mo Sijiang, the commander of the capital, and his heart sank, and he suddenly swelled with great grief, and he couldn't help but cry! )
