The fourth master of Qingchuan, give the dandy a smile!

Chapter 23

The summer of the 31th year of Kangxi.

A thunderbolt tore through the sky, and there was a rumbling thunder, but after a while, the big raindrops dripped down the eaves, and the soil in the yard was soaked.The delicate flowers in full bloom hung their proud heads, and the scattered petals were swept away by the wind and rain and fell into the mud.

The small bridges and flowing water in the south of the Yangtze River are exquisite and beautiful, and you can see carved railings and jade bricks, pavilions and pavilions everywhere.

This courtyard is neither big nor small, and it is considered average in Jiangnan official circles.

But the owner who lives here is the top leader among officials in the south of the Yangtze River.

Lin Hai, the censor who inspects salt in the south of the Yangtze River, is the one whose nickname is Lin Ruhai.This person is Kangxi's Tanhua for 11 years. From the supervisory censor to the salt censor, it has to be said that he has a deep sacred heart. The most important thing is that he has a daughter.Lin Daiyu.

This is why Sophie came here on her own initiative.The man was wearing an official uniform embroidered with clouds and geese, four claws and eight pythons, and a lapis lazuli top, walking hurriedly.He pushed open the door of the study room, stepped in, and closed the door with his backhand, blocking the dark light in the room.

It's still early, but it's getting late.Before it was time to eat, the sky was heavy, and because of the rain, the entire cloud cover was so dark that it seemed to be collapsing.The candles flickered and slowly lit up, dispelling the darkness in the room.Lin Hai took down the books from the shelf in order, and when he took down the last book, he heard a soft creaking sound from the side, and the neat wall slowly opened, revealing a small hidden compartment.

He stretched out his fingers and tapped lightly on the dark compartment a few times with great skill and rhythm. After a few taps, he opened the dark compartment, revealing a dark yellow account book in the dark compartment.It was dyed with a little purple red, and after drying for a long time, it looked like the color of fresh blood.Lin Hai stopped moving, stared at the ledger in a daze, lost in thought for a long time.

"Master Lin."

A crisp sound suddenly sounded in the quiet room.Startled, Lin Hai suddenly turned around and shouted, "Who!"

From the shadow at the corner, a young man walked out.

The young man was wearing a black night suit, which was stained with rainwater. He had obviously waited outside for a long time, and came in with Lin Hai.At least his figure is tall and slender, with a little immaturity, thin shoulders, and a straight back.There is a white ceramic mask on the face, and a cute fox is painted on the mask, revealing two black eyes.

His eyes were shining, twinkling, with a clear light.

The boy reached out and lifted the mask, revealing half of his face.The rose-colored mouth has a beautiful shape, the corners of the mouth are slightly raised, the lower jaw is exquisite and small, the corners of the eyes are slightly red, and the fingers are slender and white, as white as transparent.He is like a beautiful goblin.

Instead, Lin Hai breathed a sigh of relief: "It's you."

The boy nodded: "It's me. Come in the name of my lord."

Lin Hai took out the ledger from the dark compartment and handed it to the young man: "This item must be in the hands of the Holy Master."

After receiving the ledger, the young man wrapped it in three layers of oil paper, raised his head, smiled, and showed two neat and white teeth: "Don't worry. By the way, I saw Miss Lin last time. "

Lin Hai was startled.

"Daiyu? Is she okay?"

He had no choice but to send his daughter to his grandfather's house. He knew in his heart that it was not a good place, but what could he do?The Jiangnan officialdom is turbulent, and it has not been peaceful in the past few years.The Holy Majesty went down to the south of the Yangtze River, and the Zhen's family picked him up. It seemed that the scenery was boundless, but in fact it hurt the fundamentals. One garden after another was built, and the amount of money thrown into it was unknown.

The Zhen family couldn't survive these years, and finally began to reach out to the salt administration.

The emperor intended to sharpen the crown prince, so he threw the crown prince to the land in the south of the Yangtze River. The crown prince came here once, and took millions of taels of silver with him when he left, so the matter was exposed.months ago.The tribute from the south of the Yangtze River was shoddy, and the holy majesty was furious, so he sent King Yong to the south of the Yangtze River as an excuse.In the current Jiangnan, I am afraid that there will be waves of ups and downs.He couldn't even protect himself, how could he protect his daughter?Send it to the capital, at the foot of the emperor, I only hope that the sage will take care of him for the sake of hard work in the past.

"Miss Lin is fine, Mr. Lin doesn't need to worry about it."

The young man smiled, put the account book in his arms, and said, "I'm leaving now. Do Master Lin have something to tell Miss Lin?"

If it wasn't for sister Daiyu, why would he make this trip anyway?

God knows that at this time of year he should nestle in someone's arms and eat chilled watermelon.

It's hot!

"Please tell my daughter, once this matter is over, I will take her home!"

Only where there are close relatives can there be a home. No matter how beautiful the outside is, the home is always what you care about.

The young man nodded, turned around and hid in the darkness, and when Lin Hai looked for it, he found that he had disappeared.Can't help but feel horrified.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Coming out of Lin's mansion, Su Fei felt that she was being followed.

His actions are very secretive, and his traces are rarely found.

It was still raining in the sky, and when I raised my head, the water all over the sky hurt my face, and I couldn't even open my eyes.The streets and alleys in the south of the Yangtze River are exquisite, full of the haze and melancholy of the water town in the south of the Yangtze River.The ground is covered with cool bluestone slabs, and voices and laughter can be heard from time to time in the alley.There are few pedestrians who come out on rainy days, only three or two here and there.Holding an umbrella, he walked fast.

Su Fei stopped, smiled, and turned into a remote alley.

Holding a blue umbrella that just passed by the door of the umbrella shop in my hand, I slowly opened it, and the black flowers bloomed under the gray sky. In an instant, the wind and rain were completely protected!

He entered a corner, looked up, exerted force on his feet, like a cat, he jumped up the wall lightly, without making a sound.Sure enough, less than a quarter of an hour after he jumped up, a black figure followed.Looking around, there is no one on the left or right.

"Hey, you won't look up?"

The young man's clear voice carried a lingering immaturity and crispness, like rain water hitting a water tray, ding ding dong dong, delicate and elegant.

Startled, the man raised his head.

The young man leaned down, extremely fast.The moment the man raised his head, he fell down, and the umbrella in his hand was right between the man's throat. The not-so-sharp umbrella tip was full of blood, and just touching it drew thin bloodstains on the man's neck.

I hate it, what can I do to save you!my umbrella! !

Sophie lamented.

"Who told you to come? Ah, I understand that you won't say it, don't worry, I won't force you to ask." The young man smiled, and the ceramic mask on his face was vivid and bright.As if alive, the red painting has a flying look, and the exposed eyes are shining with dazzling light.Such a person is not suitable to be a secret guard at all!

The man was startled.

"Well, I won't ask you any more. So, die!"

The boy gave away the umbrella tip.

The man knew something was wrong when he saw the murderous look in his eyes, he bent back desperately trying to be dangerous, and at the same time kicked the boy with his right foot like lightning.Su Fei's umbrella scratched the man's neck, but unfortunately it didn't break, it just tore through a layer of skin, bleeding a little more at most.Holding the umbrella in one hand, the other hand blocked the man's kicking foot, and pushed it aside.A piece of the bluestone brick over there was kicked into pieces.

Tsk tsk, if you really kick it, it will hurt.

The young man turned around slowly, slowly opened the umbrella, stood in the rain, raised his eyes and quietly looked at the man two meters away from him.

The red blood was diluted by the rain, dripped along the edge of the umbrella, and fell to the ground with a patter, disappearing in an instant.

The man slid backward three or four meters with the force of the broken bluestone, and knelt on the ground on one knee.Blood was gurgling from his neck, but he didn't care about it.He stretched out his hand and tapped the surrounding acupoints on his body, stopped the injured internal organs, and forced himself to stand up.

"Ah, you can still stand up?"

Su Fei got excited now, gave a huff, and then smiled: "I'm in a good mood today, so I won't kill you. You can go."

A terrified look appeared on the man's face, and he remained motionless.

"I'll count to three. If you don't leave, I won't be polite."

The young man stretched out his white and tender fingers like water onions, and raised them up: "One"

"two"

"three"

As soon as the words fell, the eyes blurred, and the man had disappeared.

Tsk tsk, he runs fast. I guess he doesn't have the ability to fight, but his ability to escape is first-rate.Su Fei withdrew her fingers, holding an umbrella, and walked out of the alley.After a fight, I was hungry.

The summer rain comes and goes quickly, but it stops after a while.

The sky was already dark, and after the rain stopped, there was still a faint whiteness in the sky. The twilight merged, and the fresh smell of the surrounding soil was refreshing.Some wine shops opened their doors and hung up red lanterns. After a while, there were many people coming and going.Dressed in black, Su Fei didn't care about the eyes of others, walked to a small stall that had just been set up, and ordered a bowl of wonton.

The wonton stall is opened by an old man and an old woman. The old couple have good craftsmanship. The wontons served are clean, the soup is rich and bright, and the white and tender little wontons have a round belly. Sprinkle a handful of coriander and eat a mouthful. Fragrance.

The chefs in the palace are not as good at this skill.

He thinks he is good at this skill! !

good to eat!

Hurling to finish one bowl, another bowl was served, and just as she put one in her mouth, Su Fei raised her head inadvertently, and was stunned for a moment.

A man walked over from the other side of the street, dressed in a green shirt and a black coat, his clothes were plain but couldn't hide the nobility and coldness all over his body.A stern face looks like someone owes him [-] million, and a pair of eyes are as bright as cold stars. Anyone who meets him will unconsciously avoid him.He was followed by two men, one was the one Su Fei injured just now.

bar.

The wontons fell from her mouth on the table, and Su Fei didn't care, picked up the chopsticks and quickly picked one up and threw it into her mouth, put a handful of copper plates on the table, and immediately ran away.

Damn, why is he here! !
