I'm watching the gate in the jail

The straw hat had a wide brim, covering the man's face in all directions.

Wanda only saw his sinister smile and frivolous tone, and thought that he really wasn't a disciple of a good family.

But Wanda was not afraid, he looked around and saw a big water tank at the door of the house, with a gourd ladle hanging on the side of the water tank.He walked over and began to wash his face.

Putting the man beside him completely to dry out made him stunned.

"Treasurer Wan is so courageous. I admire you."

The man spoke in a plausible way, and cupped his hands at Wanda.

"Good talk, good talk."

Wanda didn't look at him either. She lowered her head and scooped up a handful of water, rubbing her face up and down.

While rubbing, he observed the small house and the surrounding environment.

Last night, I was upside down and saw nothing except the dirt road. Only now did I realize that someone had moved it to the middle of the mountain overnight.

The hut is next to the mountain, and there is a small yard at the door, where a few reed chickens are raised.They are all hens, looking down for food, cooing non-stop.

Although the house is not big, it takes up all the beautiful scenery. Living here should not feel bad.

"You are 'Yijianmei'?"

Wanda turned to the customer, put one hand on her hip, picked up the water ladle in the other, took a mouthful of water, and began to rinse her mouth.

"Boss Wan, people don't speak secretly. It's my servant."

"Yijianmei" took off the bamboo hat on his head, revealing the true face of Mount Lu.

I saw him of medium height, honey-colored skin, and a pair of sword-shaped eyebrows flying to his temples.The eyes are bright, dark and bright, the bridge of the nose is straight, and the lips are slightly thick. For some reason, there is something exotic about her.

Although he is not a standard handsome man like Yang Xiuxian, nor is he as scholarly as Qiu Zijin.But the whole person is full of vitality, as if absorbing the light of the sun, like a new bamboo blooming in spring, wantonly growing spicy and crunchy green leaves.Vigorous, natural and crisp.

With such an appearance, it is no wonder that he has become a "flower picker".

He was looking at "Yijianmei", and Yijianmei was also looking at him.

Before, he pretended to be blind and sneaked into the lobby of the restaurant. He didn't see the "Treasurer Wan" from the north himself, but only smelled the aroma of the cakes he made.

Last night, I took him out of the hotel room, taking advantage of the moonlight, so I didn't check carefully.

Now I saw him in broad daylight, and saw him calm and composed, without any fear.A pair of big eyes are moving and flying, and the spirit is excellent.

The most important thing is that this person's actions and demeanor give "Yijianmei" a very familiar sense of familiarity-this is the natural slickness and self-satisfaction of little people who have been on the streets and alleys all year round.

Thinking of the things they did to force themselves to dedicate themselves these days, the first thing "Yijianmei" thought of was that this person was probably half a "co-worker", and also a character like "fleas on drums" and "flying on grass".

Wanda raised her head, forced the water to the mouth of her throat, and made a weird "gululu" sound.

He hooked his fingers towards "Yijianmei", who took two steps forward suspiciously, seeing that he puffed up his mouth, making a gesture to spit water at himself.

Just when this thought flashed across his mind, he saw a jet of water coming towards his face.

"Yijianmei" hurriedly picked up a bamboo hat to block it, so as to avoid this "water disaster".

"You man, you're so underhanded!"

He put down his bamboo hat and cursed loudly.

The next moment, he saw a mass of white powder attacking his face overwhelmingly.

He only escaped the water column, but he didn't expect to have a backhand.The powder was inhaled into the mouth and nose without covering it.

"Yijianmei"'s feet softened, and he fell to the ground.

"You scolded earlier just now, and my current trick is really 'lowering'."

Wanda put her hands on her hips triumphantly, and said winkingly.

When the "White Lotus Sect" was wiped out last time, the Jinyi Guards found a bunch of treasures and jewelry from the "Forgetting the Self Small Building" and the "Miaoyin Nunnery" of Xuanlian Nun, as well as various medicine pills.

The gold, silver and jewels were handed over to the state treasury and the internal treasury, and Wanda took all the messy medicine powder back to Beizhen Fusi to study and fiddle with.

When he came out this time, just in case, he also brought a lot of bottles and cans.

Look, isn't this coming in handy?

"Treasurer Wan, good trick."

"Yijianmei" collapsed on the ground, and said with gritted teeth.

"I didn't expect that I was 'fighting geese all day long, but today I was pecked by wild geese'. Count me as unlucky."

It seems that this person is not only a "co-worker", but also a despicable and shameless "co-worker"!

"You're not unlucky, you're just stupid."

Wanda pointed at her body, "Have you ever seen someone sleeping in a coat? Aren't I just waiting for you, my lord?"

After his reminder, "Yijianmei" realized that this Wanda was wearing a blue robe, the belts were all tied up well, she didn't sleep with the clothes on.

He thought he had succeeded in "stealing someone", but he turned out to be "waiting for a rabbit"!

After all, "Yijianmei" is used to being a thief and has his own methods.

With the last bit of strength, he turned one arm behind his back, trying to get a dagger pinned to his waist.

"I just stole a box of snacks from Shopkeeper Wan. Would it be too much for Shopkeeper Wan to let his subordinates annoy me so much?"

While he was talking, he saw Wanda put down his guard and squatted down, leaning towards him.

In the past few days, "Yijianmei" has been called and beaten by everyone in the county. No matter how he disguises himself, as long as he looks like a stranger, officials will come forward to question him, and he can't avoid it.

It made him unable to act at all during the day, and could only sneak into the city at night.

After thinking about it, "Yijianmei" added the phrase "addicted to sweetness like life", and guessed that it was the ghosts of this group of people.

He had thought the Yankees were just passing through, but he had never imagined that they would fall into the hands of a cook.

"Excessive? You, a thief who was caught by the sea, should have gone to jail. Now that I'm being bullied by you, why don't you allow me to resist?"

Wanda sneered and patted his cheek.

"If I don't have some means, I'm afraid I will completely offend those officials because of you. Will you be responsible for whether our group lives or dies?"

What's more, I haven't offended them yet, they have already taken the initiative to frame me!

Wanda thought hard.

Beizhen Fusi is the object of everyone's fear in Beijing.

On weekdays, whether they are officials or ordinary people, when they see them, they all kowtow to the wall and hide away.

It's good to come to this southern boundary, everyone will step on it.

Before they reached their destination, they were bullied one after another. It was really "if the tiger doesn't show its power, you will treat me as a sick cat".

"Friends, everyone 'like-minded'..."

"Yijianmei" pulled out the dagger from his waist bit by bit, but his face showed a pleading look, "You let me go today, and I will...repay you someday!"

As he spoke, he saw only a flash of light, and the dagger moved towards the middle of Wanda's neck.

Wanda didn't touch a single one, and after being captured by him, he only felt a sharp pain in his neck.

When I touched it again, my hand was covered with blood.

"go to hell!"

"Yijianmei" held the heart of death, and took advantage of his pain to cover his wound, so he wanted to add a knife.

Before long, a figure flew over, raised his foot, and kicked the dagger away.

The dagger was kicked into the air, and then caught by a person who jumped over.

The two landed one after another, it was Yang Xiuxian and Gao Hui who followed behind.

"grown ups!"

Yang Xiuxian stopped Wanda's shaky shoulders with one hand, and looked at his hand covering his neck with a broken heart, blood was flowing from between his fingers.

"Gaohui!"

Yang Xiuxian shouted loudly.

The latter nodded his head, stretched out his long legs, and stepped heavily on the chest of "Yijianmei".

"Yijianmei" spat out a mouthful of blood.

At this moment, he didn't have any strength at all, and he was completely limp on the ground, arching his body in pain, with cold sweat on his face.

"It's okay, it's just a little bit of skin. It didn't hurt the meridians."

Wanda supported Yang Xiuxian's arm, looked at his pale face, and shook her head slightly.

The drug was quite domineering. Even though he had used a lot of strength in the "Yi Jian Mei" just now, it was already at the end of his strength.In addition, Wanda dodged in time, only cutting off a layer of bloody skin on his neck.

He was also scared to death just now, thinking that he was going to confess here today.But I stretched out my hand and touched it carefully, and found that there was nothing serious, but the injury was on the neck, which looked scary.

Yang Xiuxian was still worried, pulled Wanda's hand, and looked at it carefully for a while, and after confirming that it was only a skin trauma, he let go of the heart that was mentioned in the air just now.

"That's great, it scared me to death..."

He touched Wanda's neck and couldn't help rubbing him in his arms.

God knows that the scene where Wanda touched his neck and stepped back just now almost made his heart jump out.

If Wanda really, he really had an accident in front of him...

Thinking that he was in such danger because he adopted his idea of ​​"leading the snake out of the hole".

This makes him how to deal with himself, how to clean up his heart...

Wanda was supported by his shoulders with one hand and the back of his neck with the other with his fiery big hands, and his whole body was rubbed into his broad chest, his face blushed immediately, and he was at a loss what to do.

He wanted to reach out to push, but just as one hand rested on his firm chest muscles, feeling his pounding heartbeat, he felt the tip of the opponent's chin resting on his shoulder socket.

"You're fine, great..."

Yang Xiuxian said emotionally.

"Puff, puff..."

Wanda could clearly hear her own heartbeat, almost in sync with Yang Xiuxian's heartbeat under her palm.

"'My lord'? Are you officials?"

"Yijianmei" said suddenly after hearing what Yang Xiuxian blurted out at a critical moment just now.

Gao Hui looked down at him, and made up for it without saying a word.

Everyone was afraid that the old woman would suddenly come out of the house and cause trouble, so they looked elsewhere.

Yang Xiuxian asked Gao Hui to carry the "Yijianmei" a few steps up the mountain, and when he saw a huge boulder protruding from the edge of the cliff, he threw him up heavily.

Yang Xiuxian tore off the hem of his inner coat, carefully bandaged Wanda's neck, and then pulled up his collar to cover the bandage, and then slowly walked to "Yijianmei".

"'One cut plum'?"

he asked condescendingly.

"It's your grandfather and me."

"Yijianmei" touched the blood at the corner of her mouth, and said provocatively, "What do you want to ask?"

"killed."

After confirming his identity, Yang Xiuxian had no scruples anymore, and said to Gao Hui coldly.

Gao Hui raised the dagger and stabbed "Yijianmei" in the chest.

"Etc., etc……"

Seeing that the tip of the dagger was about to pierce "Yijianmei"'s chest, a small voice came from behind Gao Hui.

Hearing the familiar voice, Gao Hui paused slightly.

Wanda turned his head to look over there, and saw Qiu Zijin resting his hands on his knees, looking out of breath and embarrassed.

"You guys are too much, you know I can't run fast, but you don't even wait for me..."

Qiu Zijin supported his waist, pulled his messy neckline, and walked to Wanda's side.

"I ran all night and finally caught up with you... Can you wait for me to go together next time?"

He just found out that Wanda was missing last night, and before he had time to go to the next door to inform Yang Xiuxian and the two, he saw the window next door open suddenly, and the two figures jumped downstairs in a blink of an eye. trace.

He is a scholar, how can he compete with the two Jin Yiwei, so he can only chase after him.

Fortunately, Wanda had taught him how Jin Yiwei tracked the markers before, so he followed the markers they left all the way.

Wanda thought that if I waited for you to leave together, I would have died at least eight times.

"Leave him alone, do it."

Yang Xiuxian turned his head away and ordered.

"Hey, what are you doing?"

Only then did Qiu Zijin see a large living person lying on the ground vomiting blood.

He jumped in front of "Yi Jian Mei" and stopped Gao Hui with his thin arms.

"You want to act privately? Lynching is illegal!"

He widened his eyes and said loudly.

"Yijianmei" originally thought that he was really doomed to die this time, and he had planned to kill him immediately, thinking that he would be a hero again in 18 years.

Unexpectedly, a small figure in a blue robe would appear in front of him like this, using his not-so-sound body to block the big man who was about to attack him again.

"Step aside."

Gao Hui frowned.

"I don't! He hasn't been convicted in court yet, you can't kill people casually."

Qiu Zijin said while poking his neck.

"Yes, yes, yes, yes! This little brother is right, you can't kill people casually."

Although he didn't know who this person was, it was rare for someone to speak for him, so he immediately climbed down the pole.

"Even if I'm a real 'Yijianmei', I've only committed theft, so why should I die?"

Stealing is nothing more than exile.

Where did it get to the point of murder?

"Yijianmei" lived to more than 20 years old, and it was the first time he saw such a ruthless person who shouted and killed when they met for the first time. He really regretted why he provoked these "living Hades".

If he had known this earlier, he would not have stolen that box of snacks if he had been killed.

Yang Xiuxian and Gao Hui felt a little funny when they saw Qiu Zijin's sudden bookishness.

If everything is carried out according to the "Daming Law" and "Dagao".Then why did the emperor establish Jinyiwei and Dongchang? Isn't it enough to have three laws and three divisions to arrest and enforce the law?

"He already knows that we are all officials. In order to prevent the news from leaking, he can only kill us to prevent future troubles."

Yang Xiuxian said.

Jin Yiwei is doing business, how can he leave disaster behind.

"This……"

Hearing what he said, Qiu Zijin turned around in embarrassment, and glanced at "Yijianmei".

If it hinders the subsequent handling of the case and delays His Majesty's secret order, it is really not good...

Hey, forget it...the emperor's life is in the body, there is no way to do it.

"Then you kill..."

As Qiu Zijin said, he got up and moved a seat for Gao Hui.

"Hey, hey...My lords, it was the villain's fault that he didn't see Mount Tai before. But the villain really deserves to die."

He thought that this nerd could save his life, but who knew that this kid was actually shaken by a single sentence.He was so frightened that he quickly reached out his hand and grabbed Qiu Zijin's clothes to prevent him from taking it off.

Pulling Xiaoqiu's clothes, "Yijianmei" began to quickly calculate their identities.

Officials... can't reveal their identities, could it be the governor who visited privately in a micro-service?

Is it the governor of Hunan, or just passing by?

By the way, when I was pretending to be blind in the hotel, I heard that they were going to Guilin Mansion, but they were delayed at the port for a few days because of the heavy rain.

Guilin, Guangxi, the governor of Guangxi... Rebellion? !

Could it be that they were court officials who went to Guangxi to suppress the rebellion?

"Yijianmei"'s brain was spinning rapidly, knowing that if he hesitated a little at this time, no god or bodhisattva would be able to save him.

"My lords, I've been wandering in various states and counties in Guangxi since I was a child. I'm familiar with the local conditions, I can understand the languages ​​of the natives, and I know all kinds of disguise tricks. Please leave me, my lord!"

He closed his eyes and shouted with all his strength.

"This……"

Upon hearing this, Wanda looked at Yang Xiuxian hesitantly.

Among them, only Yang Xiuxian can understand a little of the local dialect because he stayed in Guangxi for a while.

Wanda and others, including the knowledgeable Qiu Zijin, have no understanding of the language of these Southwest Liao people.

This time they visited in microservices and did not bring an interpreter. Language is a big problem.

If this person is really as he said, proficient in Liao dialect and familiar with the customs and customs of various parts of Guangxi, it will indeed be of great use.

"It is true, my lord."

"Yijianmei" recovered a little bit of strength, prostrated herself on the ground, and begged, "The villain is only asking for money, and never harms people's lives. If you offend the adults, it is the villains who have no eyes. I beg the adults to show your favor and give the villain a reward." Opportunity, villain and set his saddle on the horse, swear allegiance to the death."

After finishing speaking, both tears were already tearing up, and even the snot was dripping down, looking extremely sincere.

How can this "one cut plum" be so easy to convince.Begging for mercy at this time is just to save a life.

He said this out of his mouth, but in his heart he scolded the four people in front of him from inside to outside.

The Yankee who killed a thousand swords, the lackey of the court without conscience.

When I have the strength to escape, young master, I must make sure you look good!

It's not that this "Yijianmei" has never been caught before, and every time he can make people lose their vigilance with a flattering mouth.

In addition, he has a good appearance, if he meets a woman, not only will he not report him, but he will also set up a cover for him and help him escape...

For example, there are more than 60 cooks in the wealthy businessman in Baoqing Mansion.When he was running away, he was accidentally seen by the old woman.The old lady wanted to shout right away, but he had no choice but to take the person and things away together.

"Yijianmei" has always been only seeking money, not killing.

In order to prevent the old lady from reporting on him, he made up a super miserable life experience to bluff the old lady.He also said that she looked like her long-dead grandma, so she knelt down and kowtowed and called her "grandmother".

The old lady was in tears when she heard it, she felt sorry for him and had to become a thief at such a young age, and she promised that she would never reveal his news to others, so he let him go back.

For some unknown reason, in addition to the nickname of "Yijianmei", he also gained the title of "Flower Picker".

This still puzzles him.

"My lord, what this man said makes sense. It is really useful to keep him."

Qiu Zijin was very innocent, and seeing how sincere he was, and because he didn't want to kill anyone, he begged Wanda to keep him.

"Humph……"

Wanda has been fighting wits and courage with hooligans in the market since he was a child. How could he not know what this guy was thinking.

It looked like he wanted to bluff them temporarily, and then try to escape.

But Xiaoqiu is right, he does have some effect...

This "one-cut plum" thought cannot be hidden from Wanda, and naturally it cannot be hidden from Yang Xiuxian and the two of them.

They were all killed out of the mountains of corpses and seas of blood for many years, and they understood people's hearts the most, and would not give "Yijianmei" a chance to escape.

"That's right... this person does have some 'use'."

Yang Xiuxian smiled dangerously.

Before "Yijianmei" was happy that she finally escaped death, I heard the tall, fair-looking man continue to say, "But in order to prevent him from escaping halfway, or misbehaving adults... Gao Hui, break his tendons and Hamstring. Zuo only needs him to be a 'interpreter', as long as he can use his mouth. This ability to fly into the sky and escape from the ground is unnecessary."

"Hey, don't..."

"Yijianmei" didn't expect that there would be someone in this world who was so good-looking, yet so vicious.

He shrank his hands and feet in horror, afraid that his muscles and bones would be broken.

"Xiao Qian, where have you been, Xiao Qian?"

At this moment, a woman's call came from the mountainside.

"Xiao Qian, where have you been? Where are your friends? Breakfast is ready, ask your friends to come out for dinner."

Standing in the yard outside the house, the woman put her hands over her mouth and shouted loudly to the outside.

Wanda stood on tiptoe and looked down, and sure enough, she saw smoke curling from the chimney of the hut, and the scent of rice was blown up the mountain by the wind.

"Yijianmei"'s complexion changed on the spot, which was keenly captured by Yang Xiuxian.

"The woman below... is someone important to you?"

He walked to "Yijianmei", although he was smiling, but there was no smile in his eyes, and it could even be said that he carried the chill of the whole winter.

"'One Cut Plum'... Where did all the things you stole before? Let me think about it... What Xunzhou Mansion lost was women's heads. What Guilin Mansion lost was silk and satin. Apart from the silver you stole, this The boat we were on last time lost a piece of calico... where did all these things go?"

He took the dagger that Gao Hui was holding and put it on the neck of "Yijianmei".

"You know ventriloquist, you know how to disguise, you have a way in both black and white, and you can get rid of the government's investigation... I just don't know, doesn't that woman also have your skills? 'Xiaoqian'?"

"Yijianmei" pupils narrowed.

This is a blatant threat!

"I... don't attack her, she doesn't know anything..."

This time, "Yijianmei" really panicked.His nearly black pupils trembled violently, and his voice began to tremble.

Yang Xiuxian's guess was right, the old woman in the room was the weakness of "Yijianmei".It's fine for him to die, and he must not implicate that woman.

Gently touching the carotid artery of "Yijianmei" with the tip of the cold dagger, he clearly felt the beating of the pulse, Yang Xiuxian smiled coldly, "The knife you gave him on the neck... I will write it down first. Now that you know our identities, you know that killing an old woman is not a big deal for us... If you are smarter, you will give up the idea of ​​running away and concentrate on doing things for your lord."

Feeling the coldness of the dagger, "Yijianmei" gritted his teeth and nodded vigorously.

"Xiao Qian, eat..."

Mrs. Lan turned into the room and arranged the meals one by one.

It was rare that Xiaoqian would bring friends here, which hadn't happened for many years. Mrs. Lan was in a good mood, cleaning the table and humming a ditty that she learned to sing when she was young.

After waiting for a long time and seeing no response from "Yijianmei", she walked to the door with some doubts.

Before he got outside the house, he saw "Yijianmei" leading three or four people walking straight towards the yard.

"Come on, come on, brothers, this is my godmother's house. My godmother is a very good person."

Mei Qianzhang said courteously, and when she saw Mrs. Lan standing at the door, she happily shook her hand, "Godmother, I'm back. I brought friends with me."

"Just come back. This... But why did you bring so many people?"

Lady Lan never imagined that Mei Qianzhang brought so many people back in just such a short time.Wasn't there just one?

Except for the pretty boy in Tsing Yi who was sleeping in the side room yesterday, the other boys were all familiar faces.

"Godmother, these are my friends. My son and I are 'life-threatening' friendships. Isn't it?"

Isn't it "life-saving", just now my own life was almost destroyed in the hands of these fierce gods.

Mei Qianzhang pointed behind her, pretending to be bright and smiling, "They all heard that the godmother's birthday is today, and they came to celebrate your birthday."

"Hi, motherfucker!"

A group of people smiled in unison and bowed to Mrs. Lan, causing her to take half a step back involuntarily, and stroked her hair in a panic.

Hey, if I knew I was going to meet so many people, I would definitely wear my hair in a nice bun in the morning, I definitely wouldn't just come out with a loose bun.

"well……"

Even if women are in their seventies and eighties, they still like handsome boys.Seeing this group of talented young men saluting to her, and they were all godson's friends, Mrs. Lan smiled from ear to ear and kept nodding.

Everyone entered the room together, only to realize that although the room is small, it is extremely splendid.

Only from the outside, I thought the inside was the same as the outside, it was an ordinary hut.

Who would have thought that as soon as one stepped into it, one would see tortoise shell decorations between the various beams, and every table and chair was covered with brocades embroidered with mandarin ducks playing in the water, phoenixes wearing peonies, and embroidered screens with beauties painted on the small The living room is lined up, and there is a picture of Xiaoxiang Goddess hanging on the wall, which is brilliant and splendid.

Two resplendent and resplendent red coral trees stand on the left and right sides of the Goddess picture. On the coral branches... a rag for wiping dust and a feather duster are hung respectively, which are neither fish nor fowl!

"Forehead……"

Seeing the splendid furnishings in front of him, not to mention the children of aristocratic families like Qiu Zijin and Yang Xiuxian, even Wanda, who considers himself a "farmer" could not bear to look directly at them.

Good things are all good things, but they are piled up in such a small hall in such a mess, there is no beauty in the furnishings at all, it just makes people feel that this place is a warehouse of all kinds of furniture.

Can put good things in such an effect...

The taste of the owner here is very worrying...

"How about it? These are all the furniture I bought for my godmother, it's very good!"

Seeing that the group of high officials from Beijing were so startled that they didn't even blink their eyes as soon as they entered, Mei Qianzhang raised her head triumphantly, "I dare say that there is no second room like this in the whole southwestern region!"

"I believe this..."

Wanda muttered to herself.

Not to mention the southwestern border, it is very unlikely that the entire Ming Dynasty could find a second one with your taste.

"Godmother, my friend, a chef from the capital. Wan Xinghai, shopkeeper Wan."

Just when Wanda looked at these messy furniture in amazement, Mei Qianzhang rushed to his side, ignoring Yang Xiuxian's dangerous eyes, and put his arm on his shoulder, "My son specially invited him His buddy is here to hold a birthday banquet for you!"

"Is that so, Shopkeeper Wan?"

He blinked at Wanda.

Tsk... This kid is like this, and he can still be tricked.

Wanda was simply in admiration.
