Xiao Mo made several detours to the backyard, where the weeds were lush and the flowers were dotted. The white walls around are low, and the walls are covered with rice stalks, and the courtyard is gathered. There are small holes under the walls for livestock to pass through.

The galaxy is horizontal, shining brightly, he raised his head to look, but saw the pink wall behind the wall, the eaves swept the air, a group of Yuyu Qionglou, Xiao Mo said in his heart: "Presumably there must be a few drunks on the opposite side of Lan Kwai Fong, the two wine shops are actually neighborhood township parties, sure enough, Zhu Chimo black, the water nature of the proprietress must be emulating Yang Hua next door." ”

Turning his head suddenly, he looked to the right-hand side, in the middle of the second floor, where Xu Wanqiu's residence was. At this time, the window was open, and a hazy candle shadow floated out, and the shadow was bright and dark in the night wind, and she said in her heart: "The stinky woman is really energetic, what time is this, and she hasn't fallen asleep." Xiao Mo spat and looked for the back door.

The weeds were green with jade dew, and in the verdant part of the trees, there was a dry well, on which moss was attached, and it glowed with an eerie light in the moonlight.

Xiao Mo came to the edge to peep, and saw that the bottom of the well was pitch black, and he didn't know the depth, and a fragrance of earth swept in. Suddenly, the bangs were blown up by the wind, revealing a silkworm eyebrow. The wind carries water vapor, like a needle pricking muscles and bones. Xiao Mo shuddered, feeling that this evil wind seemed to come from the bottom of the well, and said in his heart: "This well is mossy and silted, I think it has been abandoned for a long time, it should be rancid, but how can it be fresh and rustic, it can be seen that someone must have started digging recently." And there is wind in this well, could it be that there is a secret passage hidden? Either gold, silver and jewelry, or a secret passage to other places. ”

He searched for a stone and dropped it, and then he heard a muffled sound, but there was no echo, and there was no sound of water. Xiao Mo said in his heart: "The well is not deep, Lao Tzu can go down and take a look." There is a big problem with this ghost inn, it is not a black shop, there must be something unspeakable underneath, Lao Tzu must check it. ”

Xiao Mo jumped up, supported both sides of the well wall with his arms, and slowly descended alternately. After a short time, the toes of my feet seemed to touch a hard object, and after checking it repeatedly, I let go of my arms and stood on my feet.

The bottom of the well was pitch black, Xiao Mo groped around the four walls, and sure enough, he was chiseled open by a sharp weapon behind him, and there was a big hole one person high. If you listen carefully, there is a rustling sound, perhaps it is a reptile earthworm.

Xiao Mo bravely walked inside, the cave wall was slippery, and water droplets oozed from above, dripping slowly. When people wander around in a small space, there will always be a sense of oppression and suffocation. Xiao Mo gasped, feeling that his chest was unusually depressed, and said in his heart: "There is no torch, even if there is really any treasure, Lao Tzu can't see it, isn't it a great loss?"

As he walked, he vaguely felt a lot brighter, and said in his heart: "Do you want to walk back to the ground?" The back door of the Drunken Cloud Pavilion will not be here, which makes Lao Tzubai excited." ”

As the light intensified, a stone gate appeared in front of it. The edges and corners are abrupt, unpolished, and weigh more than a thousand pounds. The stone door was not completely closed, leaving a gap the width of a man from which the light could be heard.

Xiao Mo walked sideways, and a square stone room appeared behind the stone door, with sporadic lights on the four walls of the stone room, red candles crying tears, bright torches, and faintly seeing the shadow of Sanniang.

Xiao Mo was startled, squatted down suddenly, and said in her heart: "This mother-in-law pretended to have a hangover, but she came here for a secret meeting." He hid in a stone couch and looked at it.

"Maitreya is here to be appointed by Lord Shangshu to supervise Sanniang?" Sanniang was charming, smiling, and said: "If the adults are still wary of Sanniang, Sanniang can definitely abolish her martial arts and not be strong in Maitreya's law." ”

Maitreya, from Sanskrit, translated as Tzu, is the successor of the World-Honored Shakyamuni and will be born in the future world of Sava, also known as the future Buddha.

The man known as Maitreya, dressed in a light yellow monk's robe, with open chest and exposed breasts, a belly full of intestinal fat, no hair or incense scars on the top of his hips, must not be a person from Buddhism. He hung his ears and shoulders, was born with a Buddha appearance, and said with a smile: "Sanniang has been here for more than a month, but the order of Lord Shangshu has been thrown away, and he has opened a store to do business?

During the Tang Zhenguan period, the imperial court initially built six departments, including the Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Crime, the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and the Ministry of Industry. The six Shangshu and Shilang were all court officials, appointed by the emperor himself, and all of them were subordinate to Shangshu Province.

Shangshu Province is the first of the three provinces, and the temples and Taiwan deal with various government affairs separately, established in the Eastern Han Dynasty, and has been followed since then. The other two provinces, Zhongshu Province and Menxia Province, were formed during the Three Kingdoms period and were intended to balance Shangshu Province. It was not until the Sui and Tang dynasties that it was neatly organized into three provinces and six ministries, and they were in charge of the important things with the king, discussed national affairs together, and had the right to refute them.

At that time, although there was the rule of chastity, the world was not peaceful. At the end of the Sui Dynasty, the peasant rebel army led the rest of the army to wander, and the states were strong and strong, and the criminal department built six gates to collect the orphans of soldiers and soldiers, teach them the art of killing, or select elites from the army to train cutting-edge teenagers full-time, called "eagle dogs".

Among the six departments, the criminal department and Dali Temple are side by side, and there are four divisions, one is the criminal department, the second is the capital lawsuit, the third is the department of the department, and the fourth is the door of the department, and the six doors are the backbone of the criminal department. A mysterious organization that integrates secret agents, fast catchers and killers, acts strangely and ruthlessly, specializes in handling major cases, and is responsible for arraignment of Gyeonggi prison and handling disputes in the rivers and lakes. The uniqueness of the six doors makes it enter the yamen and go out of the rivers and lakes, Sanniang is one of the four gods of the six doors, and the one who talks to her is the smiling Maitreya Amitabha.

Amitabha saw that Sanniang wanted to speak and stopped, and continued: "The token of Princess Leping in the previous dynasty has been known by Yin Yang Liao, and there must be a traitor in the six doors. Sanniang, you have close contacts with the white tiger, secretly have feelings, it is normal for Lord Shangshu to be wary of you, and it is enough to show mercy to keep you so far, if you can't get other clues, I'm afraid you can only go to see it. ”

Sanniang said: "I and Baihu are just old acquaintances, and there is no emotion at all, not to mention that I am married to someone else." Leping lock is the only token to prove the identity of the princess, this news is known to the entire six doors, why only suspect Sanniang alone? Presumably someone is talking nonsense and villain. ”

The fat big hand clenched into a fist, the bones rubbed and made a crisp sound, and Amitabha said angrily: "Sanniang's words must have something to say, it is better to say it clearly." The ambition of the wolf son of Yin and Yang Liao, although he is favored in the court, is bound to inherit the name of the princess and raise troops against Liang. You and I are both working for the court, please think about your position first, and don't go astray and be used by traitors without knowing it. ”

Xiao Mo listened attentively, and unconsciously there was one more person beside him.

I saw a **-year-old child, his eyebrows were indifferent and picturesque, his eyes were shining like stars, and his figure was as tall as Xiao Mo's squatting. There is a small mouth under the small bridge of the nose, thin lips curved and upturned, with a playful smile, as if you have seen something rare.

Xiao Mo shook his hand again and again, squeezed his eyebrows, and signaled not to make a sound. The child didn't know why, and cried out, "Brother, what are you doing here?"

Xiao Mo was suddenly startled, so frightened that he almost didn't bite off his tongue.
