Volume 1: Corruption Investigation

In Yongzhou, heavy snow has continued for three years.

The sound of the chung is already the fourth day, and it is the time for deep sleepiness.

The figure was thin under the lamp, and he looked hungry for a long time. The thin gray blue jingle brocade jacket hung on his body like a wide robe, making him look more and more skinny.

This Jingjin comes from Jiangling. In addition to being expensive, making clothes is a powerful tool to show your identity. Even the big holes and small holes bit by the clothes insects eating rats, even if the yellow cotton wool drills out like early spring grass, it can show that the person wearing clothes has been rich once, but it was spent later.

The candle head, which was about inch long, was burning in a mess on the bronze candlestick. The dark night wind passed through the half-open carved window, and the dark candle fire blew hard. The person under the lamp hurriedly wrapped the wick with his hands, and then coughed and wrote at the desk.

"Yongzhou has been snowing heavily for years. The snow is as yellow and black as dust, its qi is as smoke, its taste is bitter, and there are five inches of blood in it. The snow is more than a meter deep. More than a thousand houses collapsed, and those who died of freezing and starving are counted."

The pen is as sharp as a knife, every word is sobbing. Before I knew it, the dark blue velvet blanket on my legs slid to the ground, and the person also collapsed on the mottled desk.

The embarrassing candlelight finally burned out and went out. The man was lying in the dark and motionless. There were streams of blood coming out from nowhere, and the bright red slowly passed through the yellowed thin paper on the table.

Outside the window, heavy snow covered the sky and fell silently, flying all over the sky without end, and the plain white snow accumulated layer by layer, covering up several lines of deep footprints.

As the imperial city of Yunchu, Qingzhou City is much more lively and prosperous than the other eight states. Vehicles and ships are intertwined all day long, and a large number of foreign merchants and officials flock to the capital, hoping to win a place in this prosperous imperial capital, get promoted or make a fortune.

A very famous young man once said that he stood on the second floor of the Gushan House and threw a rolling pin on the street and smashed someone casually, either a giant or a high-ranking official. He also said that in the capital, he had no money and no shame to say that he was a businessman, and he was embarrassed to say that he was an official.

When she said this, a girl was accompanying the young master. After hearing this, she turned her head and ran into the second floor of the Gushan House. After searching for a circle of rolling pins without a handy rolling pin, she had to pour a pot of vinegar. Sure enough, a second-rank official and a family slave chased each other for fear and was so vicious that she escaped.

Qingzhou City is a bustling city that can kill people. It has a large population and is a little more than the fish in the moat. When you walk around the city, you will see the back of your head, your head is lowered and your head is lowered, and you will have no good scenery. The beautiful scenery is outside the city, walking through the streets and alleys, walking out of the pink walls and black tiles covered with green bamboos and flowers, and bypassing the layers of terraces and tea mountains outside the city, you can see the natural atmosphere of clouds and shadows. The water village and mountains are beautiful and picturesque, and a prosperous and prosperous scenery.

In the most common courtyard in the capital, green trees are shady and flowers are blooming. Several gray-robed servants stand quietly, letting their sweat beads slowly slide down their temples, and they dare not raise their hands to wipe them. They don’t even dare to make a sound. Under the wall, there are young girls kneeling, all of whom are ragged and down, with their long hair scattered, as if they are mixed with straw, dust and cotton wool. The bright sun reflects their faces, and they are weak and pale.

"Sir, the girls are all brought back. See how to settle down." The leading servant bowed slightly, and there was full of respect and fear in his whisper.

A white-faced scholar stood on his back, and he brought a small gold-painted pink cup to drink tea. His indigo dark flowers were washed straight and his hair was white. The golden auspicious clouds rolled on the collar and cuffs showed great wealth.

The scholar turned around when he heard this. His face was astonishingly thin, his cheeks were deeply sunken, and his face was full of disasters. He really smeared the prosperous emperor. He handed the little knot to the maid beside him, and only slightly raised his swollen eyes, signaling the servants beside him to curl up the girl's jaws one by one. He bent down to look carefully, and from time to time he even squeezed his face.

Scholars read a lot of books, and they are used to seeing Yan Ruyu in books, and their eyes are better than ordinary people when choosing girls.

He looked at it and knew which one was "fine texture and even bones and flesh";

Through the thin shirt, you will know which one is "the ice skin is born thin";

After glances at me, I can choose the one who can teach me to "look back and smile and be charming";

What's even more amazing is that by burning a stick of incense, you can know which one is "the love is hard to end".

After he looked carefully, his fingertips were still smooth, and he pointed out more than a dozen girls in one breath, and his serious face showed a light and thin joy: "Although Yongzhou is bitter and cold, the girls raised are unique. These good seedlings are very charming. Take them to other courtyards to educate them well, which will be of great use in the future."

The servant echoed, "Hey, the villain knows the importance of it, and will ask the nannies in the other courtyard to educate them to serve people."

The scholar stared at the sight of his tone, his tone was calm and gentle, but his eyes were like the cold wind in the cold weather, and he blew over fiercely and coldly: "Be careful and careful, and do not hurt your body and body. On weekdays, you touch the girls next to you. I turn a blind eye to the other side of you. But these girls are of great use. If you continue to give up your order, you will be frivolous if you want to lose your son and your grandchildren."

The servant felt a stern, bowed and nodded to follow the good deeds: "The villain will look at them tightly."

The scholar took the maid's hand and sipped the tea, looked at the remaining girls, and said lightly: "It's good that you know the importance. If you teach the rest well, you can also send them to various mansions as maids in the next year."

The servant bowed and said yes, clapped his hands, called a few servants to approach, whispered a few orders, and took the girls to an unknown future. He wanted to make a coincidence with the scholar, turned his eyes and thought about it, and said diligently: "In the future, villains will often go to Jianshui Ancient Road. In the Yongzhou disaster, there will be endless things to sell children and daughters. I believe that it will be better and cheaper."

The scholar nodded slightly with appreciation: "Today I bought all the girls who fled from Yongzhou. It's so conspicuous. I saw that there were many of those kids who were very good at serving people. You can buy them in three or five days and carefully educate them. These children are the foundation of our future foothold in Qingzhou City. Don't be careless."

The servant lowered his eyes, not daring to be careless at all: "Hey, the villain will be careful."

The scholar stared at him and said, "It's been two years, and there's no news that the Unparalleled Young Master has returned to Beijing."

The servant snapped his fingers, and a white dove fell from the treetops to the ground, spitting out a round bead with rippling water. The bead just touched the shadow on the ground, and then it shone brightly, casting a slight shadow on the ground. After the ripples dissipated, a man's back suddenly appeared in the light. The blue collar robe did not have a pattern, but only a black gold cloud pattern belt was tied around his waist. His figure was unparalleled, and in front of him was an endless deep blue sea, with huge boats going back and forth.

After half a cup of tea, the light disappeared and the man disappeared. Instead, it was replaced by a red mountain, like a fire.

The servant bowed and said, "Sir, Mr. Wushuang finally disappeared from the Yin Volcano Mountains in Dongmin Kingdom. The Yin Volcano Mountains are incredibly restricted. The tracking technique of the villain is completely useless there. Moreover, Mr. Wushuang has a high level of cultivation and is definitely not an opponent, so he dare not follow too close, for fear of alerting the enemy to miss the big matter of the teacher."

The scholar looked at the light flowing on the ground, stretched his sleeves, and said with a gloomy face: "Young Master Wushuang is not a false reputation. You may have already alarmed him along the way. You just pretended not to know and didn't give up. Well, you took back all your hands and didn't have to follow him anymore."

The servant said, "Here, the villain followed along the way and found that the Wushuang young master's temperament changed drastically, and he almost never left his body all day long."

The scholar gazed at him: "What happened in the battle between Dongmin and the Kingdom of Dong two years ago? He was so depressed. He left Qingzhou and even drunk all day long."

The servant shook his head: "The villain has investigated for the past few years and has no clue. The incident two years ago was done by Qu Tianxiong himself, but after the villain investigated, he seemed to be completely unaware of the inside story."

The scholar secretly became suspicious, and the initiator didn't know the details. This was really unreasonable. But after searching, there was nothing suspicious. He pressed his mind and said slowly: "Looking at what happened two years ago can always be found. As for Wushuang Young Master, if his master is here in Qingzhou City, he will come back sooner or later. Let me continue to take down the manpower and guard the four gates of Qingzhou. Once Wushuang Young Master comes to Beijing, report it immediately and don't disturb him."

The servant bowed and said, "Here, the villain has something unknown. Your Highness has clearly ordered Qu Tianxiong to investigate this matter. Why does the sir still have to work hard?"

The scholar's eyes were sharp and he smiled deeply: "The master can trust him, but I can't believe him."

The servant bowed his head: "Hey, the little man will continue to give the order now, and he will definitely not mislead the sir."

The scholar's eyes instantly turned slightly cool as if dyed with autumn frost: "How is the princess's recent past? What's going on?"

The servant shook his head: "No, after Wushuang's son left the capital, the princess was very quiet. Apart from having a close relationship with the eldest girl of the Qu family, she had no contact with others. It was thought that the prince's cultivation was completely destroyed two years ago, and Wushuang's son left Qingzhou again, so she didn't dare to move without any action."

"The princess is quite sane. How could she be so decadent? She will endure it for a while, but she will never endure it for a lifetime." The scholar sneered: "It's Qu Lian, I really didn't expect that the princess is too close to her, so how could she have the intention to make use of it? That girl is simple and can afford the word stupid. It's ridiculous that Qu Tianxiong has made every plan, but she can't calculate that she will be ruined by her daughter."

The servant said, "It's just sir, Qu Tianxiong is trying to deal with his daughter and the princess. Could it be that he has a second intention and is arranging a way out for himself?"
