The chess on the stone is broken, the pine edge is bent and broken, and the horse is driven into the wind of woodcutters.

——"Youth Tour. Tour of Jianhu" Zhang Kejiu (Yuan Dynasty)

……

In the courtyard of the Huangzhou government office, more than a dozen corpses were lying straight on stretchers.

Recently, young and strong men have often disappeared in the Yunmeng area of ​​Huainan Road.It is said that the fox demon is causing trouble.The county government officers rushed out in full force, looking around, and finally found the bodies of some missing men in a mass grave.

Zuo Zhen, the prefect of Huangzhou, lifted the white cloth covering the corpse, and the corpse underneath was like a mummy, in a terrible state of death.

Zuo Zhenzhi, governor of Huangzhou, asked, "How did these people die?"

Wu Zhan tremblingly replied: "My lord, I have never seen such a way of death in the past 20 years since I entered the industry. The villain suspects that these people were sucked to death by the fox demon."

"Nonsense! The world is clear, there is no talk of ghosts and ghosts." The prefect Zuo Zhen angrily reprimanded.

The prefect Zuo Zhen said to Xing Laoliu, the chief arrester of Huangzhou: "So many people have died, the people are afraid and uneasy, and they dare not work in the fields even in broad daylight. If this continues, how can we guarantee the spring plowing this year?
You are given five days to find out the culprit, bring the murderer to justice, and comfort the hearts of the people! "

Xing Lao Liu had an old orange-skinned face, and said with a slightly crying voice: "My lord, you are a Beijing official, so you don't know the difficulties of our local officials.

This matter is rather strange, so I suggest reporting it to the Ministry of Punishment, and imploring the six sects of the capital to arrest the head and investigate.We, the old and the weak, can't do it alone! "

While arguing, Governor Huang Shi Chaiyong hurried into the government office and whispered a few words in the ear of the eunuch Zuo Zhen.

The prefect Zuo Zhen frowned, and said: "Mere eunuchs and witches, how dare you announce that the prefect is twenty miles out of the city to meet them?"

Chief Shi Chaiyong advised: "My lord, don't get angry. These two people have a lot of background. The eunuch Hai Gonggong is the confidant of Li Fuguo, the supervisor in the palace, and the witch is the confidant of Zhongshu Shilang Wang Yu, and the "psychic" personally appointed by His Majesty. Saint'. We can't afford to mess with it.

Wherever the two went, they openly extorted bribes and caused great harassment to the states and counties they passed.

Individual states and counties were overwhelmed by the disturbance and turned them away.In less than three days, the imperial decree arrives. For the crime of contempt of the court, you will be dismissed from office if you are mild, and you will be sentenced to punishment if you are serious. You must guard against it! "

The prefect Zuo Zhen snorted coldly, and said: "The position of this official was conferred by His Majesty, and I am here to protect the environment and the people. I would rather lose my official position and go to jail than bow to Xiaoxiao."

"Okay! This is the iron-clad Zuo Pokong I know!"

Hearing a loud laugh, the three of them walked into the government office in a hurry.

The leader is in his early sixties, with five willows and long beards, and he is very rich.The young man on the left side beside him has a square face and eyebrows with a straight face.The boy on the right side wears a cloud crown fan, a hydration suit, a silk sash around his waist, and hemp sandals on his feet.Long eyebrows and phoenix eyes, plump and handsome, with a fluttering appearance.

The eunuch Zuo Zhen was overjoyed when he saw it, he hurried forward, gave a deep salute, and said with a smile: "What kind of wind has brought Master Catcher here!"

The person who came was Fang Shuliu, the god catcher. He chuckled and said, "Brother Zuo, is it the right time for us to visit rashly?"

Zuo Zhen laughed loudly and said, "It's too late!"

The prefect Zuo Zhen knew Su Yubao, the apprentice of Catching the Gods, the number one master of the Six Doors, and hurriedly greeted him.

Seeing Fang Shuliu's imposing young man and his extraordinary appearance, the prefect Zuo Zhen dared not underestimate him, so he hurriedly asked his name.

Fang Shuliu recommended Bai Fu to the prefect Zuo Zhen.

Zuo Zhen was overjoyed, and said: "It turns out that the first pioneer of the Tang Dynasty is here, Zuo is very honored!" After finishing speaking, he ordered to go down and clean up the dust for the two of them.

Fang Shuliu said: "Lord Zuo, don't rush to say hello, let Wu Zuo take me to examine the corpse."

Zuo Zhen laughed and said, "With Catcher sitting in charge, all ghosts and sprites have to show themselves!"

The four of them came to the courtyard of the government office and carefully inspected more than a dozen mummified corpses on the stretcher.Fang Shuliu said, "Brother Bai, what do you think?"

Bai Fu's murderous look flashed past, and he said, "That's right, this is exactly the devil girl's kung fu!"

Fang Shuliu put the white cloth on the corpse again, raised his head and said to Zuo Zhen: "Master Zuo, we are here to kill evil spirits.

But this witch is acting according to the order, in order not to cause future troubles in the court, you have to act according to the plan. "

After finishing speaking, he whispered a few words to Zuo Zhen.

Zuo Zhen nodded frequently, and said, "Just follow your lord's advice, Zuo will prepare now."

……

At dusk, the setting sun is like blood, and the Huangzhou city tower is like a dilapidated monster, squatting on the side of the moat, overlooking the northwest.

The three-way drum of the city tower rang, and a dozen guards shook the winch, and were about to put away the suspension bridge and close the city gate.

Just when the suspension bridge was about to be closed, a rider galloped up, holding a golden arrow, and shouted loudly: "The imperial envoy is here, let him go quickly."

The captain of the Shoucheng school shuddered, and ordered to lower the suspension bridge.Leading the officers and soldiers defending the city, they walked down the tower and stood upright to greet them.

In the time it took for a stick of incense to burn, the brigade was billowing with smoke and dust, and the imperial envoy drove in mightily.

There were about a hundred people in the car, and the team that opened the way was the yamen servants of Honshu County, holding up plaques such as "avoidance" and "quiet".

Then came the escorting soldiers of the imperial envoys. All the soldiers were riding tall horses, wearing bright armor, and holding lances, gourds and other ceremonial guards, as majestic as they wanted.

Among the cars are two luxurious carriages, the upper and lower carriages are decorated with a lot of gold ornaments.The horses that pull the carts are full of mane and muscles, vigorous and handsome, with gold saddle and silver matching.

Beside one of the carriages, dozens of handsome young men in fresh clothes and furious faces followed.

These teenagers were dressed in brocade hunting suits inlaid with gold and embroidered with silver. Everyone looked arrogant and behaved frivolously.The horses under the crotch do not have any stray hairs, and each of them is a rare Dawan horse.

The Shoucheng captain straightened his body, thinking: "It's such a big show, even if His Majesty personally conscripts, it's nothing more than that."

As thoughts flickered, the curtain of the carriage was gently lifted, and a seductive woman in luxurious clothes looked out from the curtain.I saw her eyes were like water, ready to leak.Luscious red lips, as fresh as flower petals.There was a faint smile floating on the corners of his lips.

The seductive woman's eyes glanced at the captain who guarded the city, and the captain felt as if a feather had been brushed against his chest, and his heart itched unbearably.

Half a minute after the imperial envoy drove past, the captain guarding the city woke up. Looking at the soldiers around him, they were all stunned and salivating.

The captain of Shoucheng licked his lips, and thought to himself: "Such a slutty bitch, even if she dies after sleeping, it's worth it!"

……

The imperial convoy drove to the official post station in Huangzhou, and the leading general pulled the reins and stopped.

The general got off his horse, walked to the carriage in the middle of the line, gave a deep salute, and said to the people on the carriage: "Holy envoy, the post station has arrived, shall we rest here tonight?"

The seductive woman on the carriage nodded in agreement, her voice bewitching, like a cat or a fox.

The leading general led the team into the station, and said to the postman who came to meet him: "We have booked the station, and no other guests are allowed to stay here."

The postman smiled and said: "General, there are plenty of guest rooms in this station, and you are enough to live here.

The post station is not an inn, and those who stay here are the court's fast-horse messengers. We have no right not to receive them. Please forgive me, the general. "

The leading general was furious, drew his waist knife, and cut off the postman's left ear with one knife, and shouted: "If you don't do it, drive the idlers out of the post station, and the next one to cut off will be your head!"

Yi Cheng bared his teeth in pain, his face turned pale, and he covered his bloody ears with his hands and wailed in a low voice: "I obey, the villain will make arrangements."

After finishing speaking, Yicheng didn't dare to say more, and left in a hurry.When you meet these plague gods, you will go as far as you can.

　Beauty singing and dancing in the lake.Autumn mirror clusters spring red.The boat carrying wine comes, washes the flowers and rains, clear like a crystal palace.Yu Luo's single fan inscribed new characters, competing to see Ji Shanweng.The chess on the stone is broken, the pine edge is bent and broken, and the horse is driven into the wind of woodcutters.
