Aggrieved Fish Sprite

Not far from the county seat of Ma County, it started to snow again.

The snow is not too heavy, but the wind is very strong.

Liu Chang and the others had no choice but to go to the post station in Ma County and plan to stay overnight.

The post station is run by the government, and generally only accepts officials on official business and their family members. Liu Chang can live in a decent house, and if he is lucky, it may be the main house.

After all, there will not be any high-ranking officials coming to this small place, so there is no need for the post station to empty the biggest and best main house.

There are warm kangs and charcoals in the station, and then send the postman to fetch some wine to warm up the stomach, which is beautiful in this weather.As a result, when we arrived at the post station, we saw that the ground was full of depression, and several houses were ventilated from all directions.

Liu Chang was dumbfounded. Just as he was about to get angry, his chest suddenly felt stuffy.

The soldiers under him did not have this scruple. They kept yelling and cursing at the gate of the post station, went in and circled around, and finally had to admit that the post station in Ma County had been abandoned for a long time.

"To calm down the anger, it must be because the place is poor and the station has been left unattended for a long time."

"Presumptuous, too presumptuous!" Liu Chang turned pale with anger.

Since he stepped into Ma County, he, a sixth-rank official of the imperial court, has been angered everywhere.

"It's really bad people out of poor mountains and rivers! The post station is a subsidiary of the country, and the small Ma County is actually letting go of it. This is a crime of dereliction of duty!" Liu Chang just said a few words, and felt a little breathless.

The soldiers hurriedly helped Liu Chang into the sedan chair and drove on in the snow.

On this day, they first went to Xiaohe Town, and then to Maxian County, and when they returned to Xiaohe Town, it was already late.There is an inn in Xiaohe Town, but Liu Chang doesn't want to live here, and the soldiers also have lingering fears when they think of Mrs. Xue.So he went into the carriage and horse shop, and without any explanation, he forcefully confiscated a mule cart and several mules.

The shopkeeper of the carriage and horse shop wanted to cry, but he sat down on the snow when he saw the shadow of the mule cart going away.

"what?"

The shopkeeper felt that there was something under his buttocks. He got up and reached out to touch it. It turned out to be a money bag.

Open it and count it, not only enough money for carriage and horses, but also a little more.

The shopkeeper suddenly remembered that the man in official uniform slipped on the soles of his feet when he went out. When two soldiers helped him, the three of them almost fell together, as if they were in this position.

——It must have fallen at that time!

The shopkeeper immediately took out all the money in the money bag. The entire ingot of one tael of official silver was directly crushed with silver scissors and hidden deeply. Then he threw the money bag into the charcoal-burning stove.I thought this was God's eye opening, and if the other party came back, he would never recognize it.

In fact, this has nothing to do with God. Liu Chang's wallet was lost because of a stone thrown by Doctor Mo.

He followed Liu Chang and others all the way, until about a mile out of Xiaohe Town, Liu Chang suddenly felt a hole in his sleeve, and after touching it again, the money bag in the sleeve pocket was gone, and it was not in the car either.

"Stop! Stop!" Liu Chang shouted hastily.

The mule cart slid a long distance on the mountain road and almost hit the mountain wall.

The soldiers were shocked, and felt unspeakable fear. They couldn't help complaining that Liu Chang was too small-minded, and forced himself to get sick, and now he insisted on taking a mule cart.This mountain road is not easy to walk, but now that the ice and snow are not melting, it is even more dangerous.

But what can be done, the official rank crushed people to death, Liu Chang was lying in the sedan chair before, and they carried it with one deep foot and one shallow foot.

"Liu Qian, what's the matter?" The leading soldier jumped off the mule and asked in a rough voice, "The road is difficult to walk, and it's dark, and three miles ahead is where we stayed yesterday. If the disease strikes again, it is better to bear it first."

"not mine……"

Liu Chang touched the tear in the sleeve, and finally remembered that he fell in front of the car and horses, and something might have scratched and tore the hidden pocket in the sleeve.Liu Chang was in the car all the way. Since there was no car, he must have landed in Xiaohe Town.

But they have already walked such a long way, the sky is dark and the north wind is howling, how can they turn back at this time, who wants to!Liu Chang gritted his teeth and sat back, but his heart seemed to be bleeding.

The money in the purse is not too much, but as a sixth-rank military officer, his family has no real property, and the money is hard to come by, so how can he not feel sad?

Coincidentally, Doctor Mo behind was also counting money.

The whistling wind weakened automatically within three feet of him, and what finally blew on him were only some fine snowflakes.

His robe was very loose, but the cuffs and neckline were tightly tied, so that the wind could not see through at all.

The fabric of this kind of clothes is very thick and filled with cotton to keep out the cold.Mo Li is not afraid of the cold, but people here always dress like this when they go out in winter, especially in Ma County. When Mo Li left, Dr. He said that he had to wear them before leaving.

Mo Li thought for a while, because wearing too little would attract attention, so he accepted the kindness.

In such a snowstorm, it would be difficult for ordinary people to walk, but Doctor Mo was counting money.

——When going out, the teacher gave a sum of money, and Xue Lingjun gave some, saying it was a reward for carrying a letter, and even Tang Xiaotang sneaked in the twenty copper coins that he had accumulated for a long time.

Then in Xiaohe Town, Mrs. Xue gave some money, but Moli had handed over all the money to Dr. He, because Liu Chang and his group didn't give any money to see a doctor or take medicine.In the prescription given by Mo Li, there are several medicines that are not cheap. Liu Chang and others took several medicines at once, and among them, the medicine of Danshen was snatched up by those soldiers.

Dr. He refused to take it at first, but after some refusals, he finally accepted it. After all, he still had a few apprentices to support.

While counting the money, Mo Li calculated the distance from here to Mount Silang in his mind.

——I was a little lost in thought, and almost chased him too far.

Liu Chang and his party stopped. The place where they stayed was a big house. There was no plaque at the door, but it looked like a squire's residence.

Mo Li found a random tree and climbed over the wall.

Although the house is large, there are not many places where lights are lit. In rural areas, lamp oil is not cheap, and servants are not allowed to light lamps if they have nothing to do.

When Mo Li touched under the window of the main courtyard, he just heard the servant come to report the owner of the mansion.

"There's something about Liu Qian again."

The owner of the mansion is in his forties, with a Chinese character face, and wearing a maroon robe with a swastika pattern. He waved his hand unhappily and dismissed the servants.

There was another person in the room, thin and skinny, he rolled his eyes and asked, "Where is the matter?"

"The man under Liu Dan, the general who was appointed by the imperial court, was originally ordered to encircle and suppress the bandits in Pingzhou. Later, when the gold mine incident happened on Mount Silang, he went there to investigate the case. This Liu Qian is nothing wrong. Knowing what's going on, he took a few people all the way to the north, stayed with me yesterday, and even asked me the way to Xiaohe Town, Ma County, talking about visiting relatives... I see his expression, it's almost like seeking revenge!"

The skinny man frowned and said, "His surname is Liu, what is his relationship with Liu Dan?"

"I don't know, it seems to be a distant relative of the same family." The member said disapprovingly, "He just passed by and has nothing to do with us. By the way, did you really see the dragon in Zhushan County?"

Mo Li was about to leave, when he heard this sentence, he stopped abruptly.

This movement was very slight, but the skinny man in the room shouted: "Who is it?"

The skinny man rushed out the door, jumped onto the roof, looked around, but saw nothing.He returned to the courtyard resentfully, and said as he walked, "I did hear a strange sound just now."

The outsiders felt that he was making a fuss, maybe the branches were covered with too much snow, and one or two pieces fell to the ground.

"It's not a big mistake to be careful, now there are outsiders here again."

The skinny man checked the eaves and branches again, and found that there were indeed no footprints, so he went back to the house.

"The dragon... I'm not sure. I had entered Yangchanggou at that time, and I was far away. I could only vaguely see the clouds in the sky. It seemed to be a dragon's tail." The skinny man pondered for a while, and then said, "No matter what, This matter has to be reported to the Lord as soon as possible! Unexpectedly, we are the first to get conclusive information from several people."

The member suddenly asked: "Do you think Qin Lu hid there because he knew that there was a dragon vein in Zhushan County? Otherwise, why should he live in seclusion in the mountains if you don't say it today? I didn’t even know that Qin Lu was also in Zhushan County. It’s incredible! In a small Zhushan County, there is not only the Ghost Poison Vulture who wiped out the entire Futu Temple, but also Qin Lu, the former number one master in the world. It’s not that we’re afraid of Xue Ting’s invisible and invisible poison, and we won’t set up our base in Ma County, it’s far away, it’s really inconvenient, we don’t even know that Qin Lu is in Zhushan County.”

The skinny man whispered, "Maybe it's because of that kid..."

His voice was so soft that the outsiders couldn't hear him clearly. When he asked again, the skinny man said impatiently, "It's nothing. When will your news get out?"

The member was not happy, and there was a hint of sarcasm in his tone: "The wind and snow are so heavy, the pigeons are frozen to death, and the fast horses can't run the mountain road. How do you spread the news? If you are in a hurry, run this trip by yourself!"

While speaking, his eyes suddenly went dark, and the candle was extinguished.

Just as the member was about to exclaim, he heard loud bangs and bangs in the dark room, mixed with the angry shouts of the thin man. The member hurriedly approached the corner of the wall, and when he was about to slip out, there was no sound in the room.

He didn't dare to move, and he didn't dare to breathe.

While listening to the movement, the back of the neck suddenly felt cold, as if it was being pressed by something cold.

- It's a knife.

"Forgive me, man, all my family's money is in the warehouse."

"Where is the dragon vein?"

A strange voice came from behind Yuanwai, fluctuating high and low, making it difficult to distinguish between male and female.

"You, what are you talking about? I don't know, what kind of dragon vein... I do know about the mineral vein, there are..."

Before Yuan Wai finished speaking, the knife got a little closer, and he didn't dare to move any more, but his heart was very anxious.He knew very well that the martial arts of the skinny man could be regarded as very good among the master's subordinates, but now he has been knocked down, what is the origin of this man?

Mo Li didn't give the staff time to think clearly, so he didn't open his mouth, but continued to ask in ventriloquism: "Don't try to be vague, the dragon vein of Mount Silang is gone, isn't it? Where is the new dragon vein you discovered?"

Mo Li guessed that the skinny man was the unexplained visitor who came to the door that day. Hearing that this group of people wanted to find the dragon's veins, and didn't know their route, he simply took a gamble.Seeing that they knew the situation of Silang Mountain very well, but didn't care much about it, then naturally they didn't have what they were looking for.

"The dragon veins of Mount Silang are still there, still!"

"nonsense!"

Mo Li felt the pulse in Yuanwai's neck was beating extremely fast, and his body was tense, as if he wanted to take the opportunity to escape, and he didn't look frightened at all. His heart moved, and the other hand directly pinched the opponent's neck. The neck, it seems that it is about to become angry and kill, but in fact——

Elixir!Another elixir, this person has also taken it, when did the herbs that give birth to spirituality become worthless?

The black carp was frightened and angry, Qimao Mountain only had a single white ginseng in a radius of three hundred miles, which is rare, but these people took it as a potato and ate it?

"If there were no dragon veins here, would you build such a big house in this poor country and live there for a long time?" Mo Li turned into an old voice again, and said sullenly, "If you dare to lie to this old man, no one here will survive. until dawn."

"No, no, you misunderstood." Yuanwai trembled uncontrollably. He felt his meridians tingle unbearably, as if a bug was crawling. He suddenly thought of Xue Ting, and his body softened more than half.

He is afraid of death, and even more afraid that life is worse than death.

"We are here because we were ordered to find the whereabouts of the previous treasures."

Doctor Mo was stunned, why did another treasure from the previous court appear?He was just following Liu Chang, but first he heard that there were dragon veins in other places, and then he accidentally dug up a group of people with ulterior motives, and now even the treasures have come out.

Now that the words have been set, they can only hold on to the end, Mo Li said sharply: "Still talking nonsense, the treasures of the previous dynasty are just rumors, not credible."

"No, no, it is true." Yuanwai mourned in order to save his life. "The jade seals used by the emperor today are all fake. The real jade seals are with those treasures. It is said that they were taken away many years ago. .”

"Then why did you come to Zhushan County?"

"This……"

The outsider decided that the person who came was Xue Ting, and wondered if the other party really didn’t know about the treasure. He tentatively said, “Because after investigation, it was found that there were only three or four people who could take away the treasure without anyone noticing it. Although powerful, it is impossible to erase all traces. The most mysterious and recognized person in possession of the treasure is Meng Qi, but the national teacher has long since disappeared... Our lord digs from other directions, and it took several days Years later, I finally found out that someone was very suspicious."

A small official sent to Zhushan County.

Not only did they take the initiative to ask for it to be released, but they also used money. The sooner the better, it doesn't matter if it is remote.Although it can be found out that the other party seems to be avoiding disaster and not wanting to be implicated by classmates, but this person is the problem.

There is no problem with the student status and examination status, but the household registration is fake!

If you don't dig deep like this, you won't see the problem at all in the usual review.

"Xue Lingjun was also one of the handsome gentlemen in the capital back then, but he got married early, and his official position was small. He was just the head of the criminal department, so he didn't have a big reputation, but Shulan's beauty was always in his heart, so..."

The outsider kept saying good things, but the people behind him didn't appreciate it, and said coldly: "Don't talk about him, just get to the point!"

"We found Mrs. Luo, a brothel shop in the capital. She had a portrait in her possession. Because she had a relationship with Mr. Xue by the Weishui River, she fell in love with her. She painted it because she couldn't see her... We also found the portrait of the previous dynasty. Some old people in the village confirmed that the portrait was Mr. Xue, but the person in this painting was recognized as the "Ghost Poison Vulture" who disappeared in the martial arts. Back then, people in the Jianghu only knew his surname Xue, but did not know his real name. .”

The author has something to say:

Xuezhi County: People sit at home, and the pot comes from the sky.

Xue Zhixian: Doctor Mo, you have seen it, you will be unlucky if you get involved with Meng Guoshi, you obviously suspect Meng Qi, why did you turn the corner and hit me on the head? ? ?

Meng Qi: The upstairs is purely porcelain.
