The ice under the bridge in Tianjin has just formed, and there are no pedestrians on the road in Luoyang.

The elms, willows, Xiaoshu pavilions are idle, and the moon is bright to see the snow in Songshan Mountain.

After the autumnal equinox, the days became colder and colder every day. On this day, the money shopkeeper of the "Tongfu Inn" in Luoyang Chengbei City took away the lantern plaque at the door early, and called the staff to prepare to close the door.

"It's so cold this year." Shopkeeper Qian stood at the door with his hands in his sleeves, breathing white air from his mouth.His men were busy erecting the door panels.In the back the kitchen was urging, saying that the guests were all waiting to eat, but the treasurer Qian was not in a hurry.At the end of autumn this year, the inns in Luoyang Chengbei City never lacked guests, even if they were rushed, they couldn't be driven away.

"I'm afraid it's going to snow." Shopkeeper Qian looked at the gray sky, and couldn't see a glimmer of light in his cloudy eyes. "How long has it been so cold? Let me think about it... Tsk, maybe 30 years Well, at that time, you were probably still in your mother’s womb. Have you heard of the tragedy at Huluzhuang outside the city? Over a hundred people were killed overnight. That night, Luoyang began to snow heavily , The Second Court sent people to go, the half-foot-thick snow in the gourd village, if you step on it, you will be a dead person.

It was rare for Shopkeeper Qian to talk about the old affairs of Luoyang City. During the interval between his busy work, the young man asked, "Then what happened afterwards, has the murderer who killed the family been found?"

Shopkeeper Qian seemed to remember the heavy snow that year still fresh, he shivered from the cold, and tightened his handcuffs a little more: "That year there were no six doors, and the case was handled by the Zhenbei Mansion and the Ministry of Criminal Affairs, and the dynasties in Luoyang City changed. , where such a tragedy has ever happened, what a pity, what a pity..."

The boy asked, "What's the pity?"

Shopkeeper Qian shook his head: "It's a pity that 30 years have passed, and this case has become a headless case..."

The boy asked: "Could it be that the Zhenbei Mansion went out and didn't catch the murderer?"

Shopkeeper Qian smiled softly: "The murderer, haha, the murderer must be a person."

The boy panicked for no reason: "Why did the shopkeeper say that?"

Shopkeeper Qian said mysteriously: "On the day when the Calabash Village case happened, my neighbor and I made an appointment to go to the mountain to pick up Ganoderma lucidum, and we happened to go to Calabash Mountain. I met a man on the road that day, who seemed to be from Calabash Village. The servant, he ran down the hill with blood on his face, yelling as he ran, something strange, something strange. My friend and I were so frightened that we lost the ganoderma and ran away, turned around and dropped the dustpan, and were beaten up by my mother .”

The boy asked: "Then what happened to that man? Did he die?"

Treasurer Qian flicked his sleeves and walked towards the back room: "Dead, everyone is dead. These days, people are not allowed to live, demons and ghosts are not allowed to live, even the imperial court is not allowed to live..."

Shopkeeper Qian’s “Die——” was extremely long, with a weird ending. The boy was startled, his fingernails scratched the painted door panel, and there was a sharp sound, and the other fatter boy let out a sweat , Looking back, seeing that it was my companion who made a fool of me, I was so angry that I cursed: "What are you doing in a daze, quickly set up the door panel with your hand, there is still a lot of work to be done in the kitchen behind."

Seeing that it was about to blow snow and wind, the boy stood up the last door panel and was just about to close it when a person walked over outside the inn.

The man was dressed in black, wearing a bamboo hat, and leading a black horse as black as ink. Seeing that the inn was about to close, he hurriedly shouted.

"Shopkeeper, don't close it yet!"

The wind was a bit strong, and the man's voice could not be heard clearly. The young man knew that he was here for lodging, so he replied in a loud voice: "There are no vacancies, go to another place!"

As he was talking, he kept working, the door panel creaked and was about to be closed when suddenly there was a huge force outside the door, which almost knocked the boy to the ground.

"Oh, my dear mother..." The boy even used his feet and pushed forward, but he didn't know that he was no match for the person outside the door. The fat boy was about to come to help, but he saw a gap in the gap. A pretty face was revealed.

"Don't close the store, I want to stay!"

The fat guy couldn't say the phrase "no room available".

What a pretty girl!

"Hey, what are you doing closing the door, let the girl in quickly."

"girl?"

The guy standing on the door panel was stunned: "How can a girl have such great strength?"

He also poked his head to look, but saw a long horse face trying to stretch it in. When he looked at the boy, he exhaled enthusiastically and sprayed the boy with foam.

"It's the girl, and her horse..."

The fat guy quickly came over and moved the door panel away: "It's cold, come in quickly."

The beautiful girl took the rein and asked, "Where is the stable? I'll tie my horse first."

The fat guy graciously jumped out of the door and took the rein from the beautiful girl's hand: "It's in the backyard, go in first, I'll help the girl lead the horse to the backyard to feed grass and change water."

The young man grunted a few words, as if he disliked his companion and forgot his friend, but the girl in front of him was so beautiful that no one would refuse her request.

The beautiful girl said to the fat guy: "My horse is very spoiled. You need to use fresh horse grass. Is there cornmeal in the kitchen? You can also add a few handfuls to the grain and grass. If there is bone meal, add some. And there, Pick a clean place for it, don't let the wind leak, it is afraid of the cold. It has all the money, don't worry."

The boy said, "Such an expensive horse?"

The beautiful girl patted the horse's head: "Isn't it? It's annoying to death."

The black horse approached flatteringly, and rubbed against the pretty girl, who pushed it away: "You rubbed my nose all over again! Can't you be more noble and glamorous like Yun Zhongjun?"

The black horse shook his head and came over to rub again.

The fat guy was overjoyed: "Oh, this horse can understand human language!"

The beautiful girl said: "Anyway, don't abuse it, and be careful of its hooves. Well, what room do you have here?"

The fat guy led the black horse to the backyard. The little guy greeted the guests and replied: "There are no other houses, but there is still a firewood house. Miss, do you live?"

The pretty girl frowned: "Why is there no room? I asked several companies and it was the same."

The young man took a white towel and dusted it on his arm. He looked at the pretty girl's attire and asked, "Isn't the girl from the Jianghu?"

The pretty girl said: "So... right?"

The young man said: "The girl should know that the imperial court will execute a group of prisoners after autumn, right?"

A few months ago, the news spread that the Guangming sect had moved to another palace in Xuanyuan Tomb of Yulong Mountain, a forbidden area of ​​the royal family, and several groups of people sneaked into the palace to steal the princess's favorite horse, Mo Qilin, on the occasion of the Queen Mother's birthday.The tomb of the Empress Dowager Concubine was invaded by the Guangming Sect, traitors from the Six Gates and South Two Gates, and martial arts figures, and was almost destroyed. The Emperor Longyan was furious and ordered a thorough investigation of the case.

In the past few months, many Jianghu people and Guangming believers were arrested. Because they touched the royal dignity, they were all sentenced to death and executed in Luoyang after autumn.

Among them, there are real criminals and innocent people who were involved in it in a daze. Suddenly, Luoyang became lively, some came to save people, some came to watch the fun, and some were going to take advantage of the imperial envoy to appeal for grievances, and more , but I came here to find out the tone—whether there was a palace change* in the tomb of the crown princess, and if so, whose hands did it fall into in the end?

As soon as the little guy talked about it, he talked endlessly: "Girl, to be honest, Beijing City is strictly prohibited, and the government is watching here for fear of causing trouble. All other inns have been checked, but our Tongfu Inn is the safest. You Do you know why? Our shopkeeper and the head of the five major bodyguard bureaus are old acquaintances!"

"The head of the five major bodyguard bureaus?"

"That's right, the head of the five major bodyguard bureaus, the six gates and the south and second gates were completely destroyed, and no one from the five major bodyguard bureaus rebelled. Even the imperial decree came to reward them!"

"Tsk."

The pretty girl snorted.

The boy asked again as if he hadn't heard, "Then girl, do you still want to stay?"

The pretty girl said: "Stay, why don't you stay, you all have the backing of the five major bodyguards, how can I not?"

"Okay~" The boy took a latch and said, "Then girl, come with me."

It is said to be a firewood house, but it was actually cleaned. It is estimated that there were guests staying there a few days ago.The one who came to lodge today was none other than Su Jingyun who had disappeared for a long time.After leaving Xuanyuan Tomb a few months ago, she traveled around with Mo Qilin. Today, she just arrived in Luoyang.

Because she heard a piece of news——the so-called "Relocation and Change of Palace" in the tomb of the princess finally fell into the hands of the head of the five major bodyguard bureaus.It just so happened that after the tomb robbery, it was the five major bodyguards who were loyal at the first time. At the first moment, the Nan Ermen of Zhao'an sought out internal thieves and traitors, and the escorts caught fugitives in the rivers and lakes. .

As soon as the news came out, there was an endless stream of people who came to vent their anger and seek explanations.

Su Jingyun is not a person who likes to join in the fun, but she thinks that Fang Shenglan's whole heart is for the stability of the Jianghu court, so whatever she says, she will fulfill her wish.In addition to the fact that the real copy of palace shifting was in her hands, she was afraid that it might be fraudulent, so she brought Mo Qilin to Luoyang to find out about the situation.

In the past few months, she has also been inquiring about Fang Shenglan's news everywhere, but unfortunately, after the farewell, there is no news.Later, when I heard that Yunqi had also come to Luoyang, I thought of taking this opportunity to meet my old friend and ask about Fang Shenglan by the way.
