The first snow in autumn is never too heavy, and it slowly stopped in the second half of the night. The snow foam on the ground quickly melted into water, and when blown by the night wind, it became even colder. The blowing made the night patrol soldiers
They were all shivering from the cold in their big cloaks.
There has been peace for nearly thirty years, and Chang'an City's law enforcement has long been no longer as strict as it was in the early Kaiyuan years. The so-called night patrols are mostly just a show. On such a cold autumn night, ordinary people are too lazy to get out of their warm beds.
Climb out and run around in the street; and those carriages with bright lanterns are often filled with dignitaries who are beyond the control of Chang'an and Wannian counties. Therefore, after the night watchmen hear the ringing of the carriage bell, in most cases, they
They all choose to stay away from each other, so as not to cause discomfort to themselves and to avoid causing trouble to their bosses.
Lei Wanchun rode a pure black horse and walked slowly on the quiet streets of Chang'an City. With the pure silver waistband in his hand, no soldier on night watch dared to trouble him. This waistband belonged to Yang Yuyao
As a gift, it is said that even if the holder of this card wants to leave Chang'an in the middle of the night, the soldiers guarding the city will have to open the city gate obediently. Lei Wanchun did not deliberately test it, but he believed this to be true. Because he believed that Yang Yuyao had no need to deceive him.
, and will not deceive oneself.
That is a woman made of water. She can be as turbulent as a big river, or as clear as a trickle. As long as she is willing, she can even turn into a cold pool, quietly reflecting your shadow. But if
If she really hates you, she can drag you into the abyss at any time, drown you abruptly, and cut off your breathing.
Lei Wanchun is not a young brother who has never seen a woman. For a long time in his life, he lived a life of "tying a horse to a high platform and buying a smile with a thousand pieces of gold". People who are knight-errants are never short of money.
It is the most common activity to use other people's wealth to help one's own poverty, and to provide a living for the brothel girls. During those young and frivolous years, Lei Wanchun could not remember how many women he had drank and talked with.
Want to get drunk. But today, he has to admit that he has never met a woman like Yang Yuyao. A woman who is as fiery as fire and gentle as water can make you indulge in it without any intention, and you would rather stay drunk from now on.
Not awake.
He didn't know why he felt this way. With that woman's identity and status, she should not talk to him in a negative way? But in fact, the two of them talked a lot tonight, and they were very lively. She seemed to understand what
The words made him happy, and those words were his taboo. So he carefully avoided those inverse scales, soothing his long-dried chest like a hot spring.
It’s better not to think about it anymore! After trying his best to shake his head, Lei Wanchun drove Yang Yuyao’s confused eyes away from his heart. Everything has passed, and tonight’s madness will not happen again. When sending him out.
, she must understand. Lei Wanchun also understands in his heart. So the most important thing right now is to find a suitable excuse for staying out all night, and don't let that nerd Zhang Xun see the joke.
A carriage with a bright lantern in front of its head passed by, and snow water splashed from the wheels. Lei Wanchun moved his mount and tried to stay as far away from the other party as possible. In the middle of the night, he dared to carry a carriage that was speeding with a lantern.
Inside, there must be some powerful people sitting there. Except for a very few of them, Lei Wanchun generally had no favorable impression of such people.
But the owner of the carriage was very ignorant. After hurriedly passing by Lei Wanchun, he quickly turned around and chased him back. The driver in front of him opened his voice and shouted in a low voice: "This is the hero Lei ahead, can you stop for a moment?
Stop, my master wants to say a few words to you!"
"I don't seem to know your master!" Lei Wanchun turned around and responded with a frown.
The coachman smiled awkwardly, but was not angry. He quickly caught up with the carriage, and then stretched out his hand to open the door. A man with a middle-aged face and the height of a thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy appeared at the door and rushed to the door.
Lei Wanchun cupped his hands and introduced himself, "I'm Jia Chang. I've admired the name Lei Daxia for a long time. I didn't expect to meet him here today!"
"I haven't been a hero for many years!" Lei Wanchun's voice was still cold and cold, trying to keep him away from thousands of miles away. The name Jia Chang is almost a household name in Chang'an City. When this man was thirteen years old, he died because of
He was good at playing with fighting cocks and was appreciated by the Emperor. Later he was awarded an official position and accompanied the Emperor on a tour of Mount Tai. His father was just a palace guard and died of illness during the tour. His Majesty the Emperor actually stopped the car to pay his respects to Jia's father first.
, and then continue the great cause of conferring Zen on Mount Tai. The favor was so great that even Prime Minister Li Linfu was jealous. So much so that the cockfighting industry quickly became a trend in the Tang Dynasty. From the dignitaries to the common people, everyone flocked to it. I couldn't wait to see it.
My son doesn't study or farm. As long as he can become the second Jia Chang, he can shine on the family lintel.
As a traditional scholar, Zhang Xun deeply hated the people who started this cockfighting trend. He believed that His Majesty the Emperor had no interest in government affairs, which was closely related to the temptations of Jia Chang, Lei Haiqing and other jesters. He was influenced by Zhang Xun
, Lei Wanchun didn't have a good impression of Jia Chang and others. At this moment, he just didn't want to make enemies for Zhang Xun, so he had to suppress the annoyance in his heart and chat with him.
"Master Lei is so funny!" Sensitively aware of Lei Wanchun's coldness, Jia Chang was still smiling. "Jia stopped Master Lei not intentionally to annoy the hero. But there was one thing that he had to talk to.
Hero, check it out! If there is any conflict, please forgive me, hero."
"What's the matter?" Seeing that Jia Chang was always polite, Lei Wanchun didn't want to go too far. He jumped off the horse and returned the other person's smile.
"A friend of mine!" Jia Chang also jumped off the carriage, but his skills were extremely strong and unmatched with his appearance. "He was recently arrested by Wannian County. His name is Yu Wenzhi, and Hero Lei should know this person.
"
"That's right." Lei Wanchun nodded slightly, took half a step back, and held the handle of the knife at his waist warily.
"I have no malice!" Jia Chang raised his hands with a smile, "Even if I have malice, I am not your opponent. I am indeed friends with him, not the kind of friends who take advantage of each other. It's just that others think I'm a fool, so I don't
Don’t show up with your friends often so they don’t feel embarrassed.”
"You just didn't grow fully when you were a teenager." Lei Wanchun felt a little embarrassed, let go of the handle of the knife, and apologized with a smile. "I'm used to holding the knife, so once someone approaches, I instinctively want to be on guard.
.It’s the middle of the night again..."
"Haha. It's true that I was reckless." Jia Changlei laughed. "A person as short as me is either an assassin, a jester, or a beggar. He really shouldn't be so close to others." "
In Lei's eyes, you are just Jia Chang at the moment!" Lei Wanchun smiled and responded in a friendly manner.
Jia Chang was almost equally sensitive to indifference and friendliness. He also smiled and said with a bit of joy: "In Jia's eyes, you have always been the heroic Lei Daxia who is eager for justice and justice. No more nonsense, otherwise
Daxia Lei must have found me verbose again. I went to the Wannian County Government Office this evening and met Yu Wenzhi. His situation is quite bad. I know that Daxia Lei and Wang Xiaohou also visited him, so I asked him
You guys discuss a perfect strategy. I originally planned to go to Chongrenfang early tomorrow morning to block Mr. Wang Xiaohou, but I didn’t expect to meet you on the road in the middle of the night!"
"What happened? Did the dog officer torture him again?" Lei Wanchun's heart suddenly tightened and he asked in a deep voice.
"I was tortured once, but the injury was much lighter than the previous two times!" Sensing the anger in Lei Wanchun's words, Jia Chang comforted in a low voice. "It should be the money left by Mr. Wang Xiaohou that played a role. But I don't
Do you know how long Mr. Wang Xiaohou can control his face?"
"Do you have a better way?" When they met for the first time, Lei Wanchun didn't dare to say that he was already trying to force Yang Guozhong to take action, so he had to consult Jia Chang for a solution first.
"No." Jia Chang shook his head gently, "That county magistrate was familiar with me, but this time, no matter what benefits I promised him, he refused to let me go. It must be the king of Jingzhao Yin.
We must keep a close eye on Zida and must find a breakthrough from Zida. In this way, Zida is invisibly caught between the two major forces, Prime Minister Li and Prime Minister Yang, and can be silenced by one of them at any time!"
"This dog official!" Lei Wanchun clenched his fists again, but a sense of powerlessness suddenly surged in his heart. If Zhang Xun didn't have such scruples on his head, he could have sneaked into Wannian County Magistrate's house and threatened him with a knife.
Fan, forcing him not to bully others too much. But now everyone in the world knows that he, Lei Wanchun, is Zhang Xun's confidant and has caused trouble. Not only is he in trouble, but Zhang Xun is also in trouble.
"So, I want to ask Hero Lei for a favor!" Jia Chang grinned, with a wry smile on his face, "What we lack most now is time. I can ask people everywhere, but I can't guarantee that Zida will not be killed.
In the prison, inside the yamen, drinking water, eating porridge, sleeping, or even just smiling could be fatal. They had at least a hundred ways to make Zida die silently, but no scars could be seen on the body.
."
Lei Wanchun, who had just been to the county jail a few days ago, knew this very well. So he no longer thought about it, nodded, and agreed in a low voice: "Say it, as long as Lei can do it."
"Magistrate Wannian is a Jinshi. It is impossible for him to go to the prison and kill people himself. Therefore, no matter who wants to kill Zida, they have to go through the following people." Jia Chang looked around and lowered his voice to explain,
"Prison leader Li Laoshi, prison bully Zhang Sannuo, and county captain Xue Rongguang. The first two of them just work for money, and there is no strong backing behind them. But Wannian County captain Xue Rongguang is Jing Zhaoyin
Wang Zhi was born as a domestic slave, and he completely obeyed Jing Zhaoyin's orders."
"Yes!" Lei Wanchun nodded lightly. The Qin brothers gave Wang Xun a "Guardian Talisman" yesterday, which described in detail the relationship between the various forces in the capital and the main figures. Xue Rongguang's name
There was not much ink in the most inconspicuous corner, but he still has a vague impression of it.
Jia Chang took another half step forward and lowered his voice, "So, if Master Lei can make Lieutenant Xue Xian unknowingly sick for ten days and a half, I'm afraid Zida will be safer in the prison."
A little bit. In these ten days and a half, even if Jia cannot get Zida out of danger, he can at least come up with a way to prevent others from easily killing him!"
This time, Lei Wanchun did not guard against him. He even had some respect for him. Li Linfu and Yang Guozhong fought against each other, and everyone in the capital who had nothing to do with the forces of both sides avoided him. Even Hu Guogong's palace decided to stand aside and watch.
Chang is just a jester, but he can stand up for his friends at this time. With this kind of righteousness alone, he is much more respectable than those so-called nobles from aristocratic families.
"How about it, can Master Lei help me with this?" Seeing Lei Wanchun silent, Jia Chang raised his face and asked eagerly.
"Lei will do his best!" Lei Wanchun cupped his hand and solemnly promised.
"Then please. After this matter is over, if Master Lei is free, please come to my house for a glass of water and wine. It is right next to Qujiang Pond. At the end of every autumn, you can see many waterfowl passing by on their way back south.
Very lively."
"Lei will definitely go!" Lei Wanchun didn't want to refuse and agreed with a smile.
"Then Jia will be waiting for Brother Lei at any time!" Jia Chang clasped his fists and turned towards the carriage. Under the bright light, his back was like the trees on both sides of the road, tall and straight.
