After a while, the man withdrew his sword and walked into the city.Su Muhua became curious about him and followed him carefully.The man walked quickly and made a few turns in the alley.Su Muhua saw him stop in front of a house, which became more and more dilapidated.The man drew out the edge of his sword and carved something on the door, returned the sword to its sheath for a moment, turned around and left.

When Su Muhua saw him turn his face, Yuexia's smile seemed transparent and childish.The sword marks on the door behind the man were curved, like a little turtle with teeth and claws carved out.

This man danced a sword in the middle of the night under the deserted moon, and then came here to draw a turtle.Whoever this man was, he was just a poor fellow who could only walk at night.

Su Muhua sat on the eaves, drinking wine against the moon.

The late spring wind blew his robe sleeves, and this night he thought of those faded rivers and lakes in the past.

When some things are discarded, it is just to cut off the wrist with a knife, which is very happy.If you want to forget, it is not easy, and you will be stripped of your cocoon, and your heart will be ashes.

At noon on the second day, the Yanbei County Government set up the first lunch for the new county magistrate.When Lu Jiuhan sat down, he saw a table full of ten people.Su Muhua and He Zhanpeng were naturally there, Wang Yingxiong, Ma Bulao, Zhang Qing, Zhao Lian, and the groom were all there, and Li Sanniang and Bu Liuxing were also sitting at the table.

He Zhanpeng explained, "Just two more pairs of chopsticks, so as not to have to send someone to deliver the food."

Li Sanniang took the chopsticks and winked. "My lord knows how to love others, but my slave will understand."

Su Muhua couldn't see it, but Lu Jiuhan pretended not to.

Although the Yanbei County Government is not satisfactory, the sparrow is small and has all the internal organs.After all the calculations, Lu Jiuleng lost a master, so he let Su Muhua take over.Su Muhua's eyesight is poor, but he can write. As long as Lu Jiu is a little colder, he can continue to write.The font is willow style, tall and thin, with the intent of a sword, but the lines are neat.

He Zhanpeng wiped his sweat and said, "Master Song, don't get me wrong. My lord told me this morning that I wanted to know about the situation in Yanbei, so I asked Li Sanniang to come and talk while eating."

Li Sanniang smiled coquettishly, "Speaking of Yanbei City, there are animals flying in the sky, walking on the ground, two-legged, four-legged, as long as they are males, how many fancy intestines are there in their stomachs, ask me Sanniang is the best!" It couldn't be clearer."

Su Muhua sat next to Lu Jiuleng, and when he heard Li Sanniang's words, he remembered that when he first entered the city, Li Sanniang asked Lu Jiuleng to accompany her for a spring breeze.

In Li Sanniang's eyes, Lu Jiuleng is a two-legged flamboyant?

Lu Jiuhan put the sausage into his bowl, "Eat more, let's go for a walk in the afternoon."

After lunch, the new county magistrate Lu Jiuleng took the chief secretary He Zhanpeng and master Su Muhua to inspect Yanbei County.

Lu Jiuhan and Su Muhua walked side by side, and He Zhanpeng followed behind them, waving his cattail fan.

Yanbei City is still popular during the daytime. This border town looks like a golden cave, with a lot of taverns, gambling halls, and brothels.

The bright red lanterns are hung under the yellow earth wall, the kind of paper bustling desert wind and sand that can't stand for too long, is more or less faded and pale.

Lu Jiu said coldly, "This Yanbei City looks quite prosperous."

He Zhanpeng said, "This place is full of refugees. Some of the family members of officials sent here have not had all their property confiscated, so they can keep money in their hands. There are also some desperadoes who are wanted by the court and hunted down by their enemies. These people are not short of money, and when they are far away from the emperor, they will inevitably indulge themselves and spend money generously."

Su Muhua smiled at He Zhanpeng, "It's wonderful to spend the rest of your life in a cup of flowers, why don't we have a drink too."

He Zhanpeng pointed to the front, "Just the Zuimeng Winery in front, it's the best restaurant in the whole city."

The best restaurant in the city is rarely a two-story building.

When going upstairs, He Zhanpeng led the way first, and Su Muhua followed behind him.The three of them chose a seat and didn't choose a private seat, so they sat in the lobby.

Xiaoer asked, "What do you want, officer?"

Su Muhua asked, "What kind of wine do you have here?"

Xiaoer replied, "Beidi shochu, Zhuyeqing, Huadiao, Nvnvhong...these small shops all have them. But except for Beidi shochu, the other wine ingredients are from outside, and the price is much higher. ..of course, the taste is also rarer than Beidi shochu."

Lu Jiu asked coldly, "Oh? You still have a lot of wine in this store."

Xiao Er said proudly, "Of course, the wine in the shop is all brewed by the boss himself."

"It's the Beidi shochu bar, the so-called one place of water and soil. Seeing that the two statues have just come here, let's try it."

The person who spoke was dressed in red, with a Jiangnan soft accent in his accent, but his face was covered with heavy powder and white.

As soon as Xiaoer heard what he said, he agreed and went to get the wine.

Lu Jiu saw that the waiter listened to his words like a Lunyin, and didn't even ask what the guest meant, so he didn't find it funny, "I didn't ask you how to address him?"

The man twitched his eyebrows, and the expression on his thickly powdered face could not be seen clearly, but he felt tired and cold. He didn't answer but said coldly, "What is the green bamboo leaves, the red daughter, the water from Yanbei?" What good wine can be brewed, that is, the strength of Beidi shochu can overwhelm the taste of the water quality."

Xiao Er took the wine and put it on the table, filled it up for everyone, the man said, "Use it slowly."

The sleeves flicked, and the man finished speaking and walked towards another table.

Lu Jiuleng turned his head to look, there was only one person sitting at that table, sitting sideways.He was dressed in a washed-out Tsing Yi, with a large patch of patch on his shoulders patched with variegated cloth, looking like a poor scholar.

Su Muhua was already asking He Zhanpeng, "Such a person sounds like a beauty. I think Mr. He should know him."

He Zhanpeng said in a low voice, "This person is the owner of this wine shop, named Shu Qingxiu. Ten years ago, he was the popular Daomadan of the Lefang Division. I was seriously injured because of him. I heard that I was still reluctant to kill him, so I spared his life and only sentenced him to be assassinated and exiled. It is unpredictable, Shu Qingxiu will not be here for two years, the new emperor ascends the throne, and Junyanghou He was also convicted and imprisoned, and sentenced to beheaded. If Shu Qingxiu had stayed in Junyanghou's mansion at that time, he might have escaped death as a concubine. Once Junyanghou died, there would be no one in Shu Qingxiu's case. Think about it again. He is able to move again. He made a way out, changed his sentence, and regained his freedom. But he didn't want to go back, so he stayed here in Yanbei."

Su Muhua sighed softly, "Sharp horse, thorn match, this Shu Qingxiu is the person he met last night, right?"

He Zhanpeng said again, "Oh, beauty, I also went to see him when he was in the Lefang Division. He pretended to be a martial arts student and compared to other Huadans. It's a pity that his face was ruined just like that."

During the conversation, there was a dispute over there.

Shu Qingxiu slapped his palm on the table, "Liu Jisheng, listen carefully! What money I, Shu Qingxiu makes, has nothing to do with you, and it's not your turn to teach me a lesson. You are noble and innocent? You look down on me, I still look down on you hypocrite. Go back to your school, look at how many people in Yanbei are willing to learn from you those useless things, what kind of man can't even drink a glass of wine?"

The scholar blushed, "Qingxiu, I, I have good intentions, besides, I didn't look down on you, how can you bully others too much?"

Shu Qingxiu snorted coldly, "I'm being bullied, what? Somebody come and drive him out."

He Zhanpeng said coldly to Su Muhua and Lu Jiu, "This scholar was demoted here five years ago. He was originally a Jinshi. I heard that he offended the dignitaries in the court. It was said that his poem alluded to the Queen Mother at that time. Accused of literary inquisition, deprived of fame, and never used. Now a private school is opened in the west of the city. The people in Yanbei are so pitiful. How many people still have the heart to study. However, this Liu Jisheng is an idiot, saying that even if only one person is willing to read, he will continue to teach."

"What idiot? It's just a wooden man." Shu Qingxiu walked back to the cabinet angrily, took a glass of wine and drank it, and then threw out the ingot.

Liu Jisheng was walking to the middle of the street, and made a pawn for the ingot of silver.

Shu Qingxiu looked at his goose-headed look, his eyes widened but he became happy.Leaning on the railing on the second floor, he said with a smile, "Take it to buy books and pens and ink for your students, and I, Shu Qingxiu, know what courtesy, justice, integrity and shame are, and what is the way of Confucius and Mencius."

Liu Jisheng's face was blue and red, and finally bent down to pick up the silver amidst the laughter, and walked out of the street.

"Brother Shu, don't be sad." A young man ran out from behind the closet, stretched out his hand and pulled his sleeve.

Shu Qingxiu turned around and circled him, "Brother Shu is not upset about what Xiaoyun said stupidly."

Lu Jiuleng saw that the boy was about fifteen or sixteen years old, huddled in a half-worn cotton robe, with timidity in his eyes.

"This one is said to be Shu Qingxiu's brother-in-law. I'm a little unclear here. I know Shu Qingxiu on weekdays."

He Zhanpeng whispered, pointing to his head.

"Go and see, someone is on the stage of life and death again today." Someone yelled in the street.

A small platform was set up under the crooked neck tree.

At lunch today, everyone had already heard Li Sanniang introduce Yanbei's Life and Death Platform.

Those who hid in this Yanbei City are no longer truly strong, but the world of the weak still has the weak and the strong.The city of Yanbei, like all rivers and lakes where swords and swords are seen, is the same as all places where the weak prey on the strong, and it believes in the rules of the rivers and lakes.

The subordinates see life and death, and understand grievances, the living have no regrets, and the dead have no complaints.

There are many desperadoes in Yanbei City, either because of a disagreement, or because of years of grievances, now they are reunited, and those who are red-eyed will inevitably draw their swords to face each other.

Tianmeng set up this platform of life and death.

If there is any enmity that is beyond life and death, one party will find the Tianmeng to send a gauntlet, and make an appointment on this stage of life and death within three days to end it.

If there is a party that does not want to fight, it must leave Yanbei within three days.

The Tianmeng is the largest gang in Yanbei, even more authoritative than the government, and those who dare not fight will no longer be able to gain a foothold in this city.

Lu Jiuhan didn't have any objection to this, based on his life experience of the past twenty years, he quite agrees with the way of opposing this life-and-death stand.

Lu Jiuhan is not a bloodthirsty person, but he has long been used to measuring human life with a sword.He is a killer who buys his life with a lot of money. After so many years, he has already seen clearly that there are few good people in high positions, and most of the lives worth a lot of money are among those who can be killed!

The opponents were a man in his prime and an old man.

The disparity in power was too great, and this decisive battle quickly became a massacre on one side.But after a stick of incense, a sword was thrust into the side of the downtrodden old man, nailing half of his body into the wooden board.The middle-aged man refused to give up, and cut the old man's left leg with a dagger in his hand. A piece of bloody flesh flew out with the blade, and the blood had already stained the wooden board.

This is already a massacre!

The man looked crazy, and sneered a few times, "Today, I will let you cut off the flesh of your body piece by piece."

The next stab was about to fall, the man suddenly felt a pain between his fingers and palms, and a hidden weapon flew out of the old man's hand.Because of that strength, the man's body was unstable and he fell back.

Just as he was stunned, the seriously injured old man pulled out the sword nailed to his body in one breath, and rolled down the platform of life and death.

The old man couldn't care about anything else, dragged his wounded body, and fled towards the corner of the street.

The two men in black standing under the platform of life and death chased after the old man in an instant.

As the cyan knife light slashed across, a man in black felt pain in his feet, and fell to his knees as soon as his feet softened.

Seeing that his companion was injured, the other man in black continued to chase without stopping.

Su Muhua reprimanded lightly, "Stop."

The palm wind struck behind the man in black, and the two faced each other in the air. The man in black retreated a few steps, and a figure lightly landed in front of him, blocking his way.

The man in black said angrily, "Get out of the way, you can't stop Tianmeng."

Su Muhua raised his phoenix eyes, and said with a sneer, "Heaven and earth are not benevolent, and stand on behalf of the sky? Tianmeng's tone is crazy!"

What he was talking about was the name of the Tianmeng Limeng that he had heard from Li Sanniang.

The man in black saw him take it easy, stroked his sleeves and smiled.Seeing him again, he didn't look back, he threw the knife casually and wounded one person, and his expression changed a little, "Who are you?"

"Song Xiaosu, the master of the Yanbei County Government."

Lu Jiuhan had a headache.

He didn't want to be nosy, and he never liked to be nosy.

But at this moment, Su Muhua has already made a move, and the person has been offended, so he can't help but stand still.

With a sigh, Lu Jiuleng moved and stopped the man who was chasing him from the stage.

"Killing is nothing more than a sword piercing the heart, brother, why bother? How much hatred?"
