Chapter 1
This year, the winter in Beizhili is extremely cold.

Since the beginning of September, the snow has been falling intermittently for more than two months.

In the middle of winter, it is snowing heavily again.

They had only been out of the capital for less than sixty miles, but they had been blocked by heavy snow for five or six days.

"Bah! What a terrible weather!" The post station beside the official road had already lit up the lamps before you, and the outside was already like a thick night.

A short and thin figure wrapped in a thick cotton jacket tremblingly opened the thick cotton curtain and rushed in through the door, spitting snow foam from his mouth, and spat by the way, but his voice was very high-pitched.

The lobby of the station is not spacious, there are only five tables.In this kind of weather, if you don't go out, you will definitely not go out to seek guilt, not to mention that the people who come and go in this post station are all officials and family members.

Therefore, at this moment, there is only one person sitting at one table in the lobby.He looks around forty, with a white face and no beard, and looks a little rich. At this moment, he raised his eyes sideways, glanced at the person who had just entered the door, snorted, and said in a high-pitched voice, "Da Tianer said something today. Forget it, what’s the use of being anxious? You’d better come here and have a cup of hot tea to keep warm, don’t run around like a hozen, making our eyes hurt.”

The person who came in from the outside jumped twice by the door, shaking the snow off his body and warming his hands and feet. Then he rushed to the table and sat down, "Godfather, you said we There were quite a lot of tributes last time. Why, such a thankless job fell on our father and son? My son looked at it, and he must have been surnamed Kang. And the one lying inside, Hurry up if you can't swallow your breath, is it bad luck if you procrastinate like this?" He spat again.

He raised his eyes but saw the person opposite him staring at him, "Are you not keeping the door open? If you dare to say anything, it won't be bad luck for people to hear that your skin has been peeled and made into a human leather bag to hang?"

Probably remembering something, the man's face turned pale earlier, he shivered, he raised his hand to touch his mouth, then hurriedly grinned and said with a smile, "Isn't my son looking at you only godfather, this is just a moment Are you outspoken? This damn weather is really tossing people, and the son also loves his godfather, thinking that he can make a job as soon as possible, so that his godfather can relax."

The so-called "godfather" snorted, and lit up the empty teacup in his hand. His "son" immediately understood, picked up the teapot quickly, refilled him, walked around behind him, and gave him a cup of tea. Squeeze your shoulders and beat your back.

His godfather's face finally looked better, and while he closed his eyes and enjoyed it comfortably, he softly relieved his godson's heart, "Be safe and don't be impatient. Now that we are on the cusp of the storm, Amitabha is the one who can get on business safely. Wait until As soon as the snow stops, we will set off."

"Then...the one lying inside..."

The older man opened his eyes, and said impatiently, "What are you afraid of? A daughter of a fourth-rank general's mansion will die as soon as she dies. Are you afraid that she won't be able to make a job? If she still doesn't wake up when the snow stops, then why don't you wake up?" It's her life, so we can't blame us. At most, I will give up two taels of silver to make the Yicheng here work harder, and just take it to the mass grave and bury it."

After hearing this, the godson finally put his worries to rest, cheered up, and said flatteringly, "The godfather is still wise. It seems that the son needs to learn more from the godfather."

"It's good to know." The older man cast a sideways glance at his godson, and couldn't hide his pride. He tapped his hands on the table lightly, and hummed a little tune in time with the beat. I don't mind it's snowing outside.

In the next moment, amidst the howls of wind and snow outside, there was suddenly the sound of horseshoes, and the sound of urging came galloping from a certain direction.

Immediately afterwards, a high-pitched horse cry and the sound of horse hooves stopped outside the station.

The godfather and son glanced at each other, seeing surprise in each other's eyes.

Before he could think about it, the next moment, the cotton curtain had been lifted, and a tall figure strode in.

Under the cover of the cloak, the eyes of the flying fish embroidered with gold thread on the front of the clothes were vividly staring at the person, the faces of the godfather and son turned pale, and they lowered their eyes before they could see the face of the person coming.

However, even if they raised their eyes, they couldn't see the face of the visitor clearly. I wonder if it was because of the heavy wind and snow. The visitor wore a bamboo hat on his head, and the brim of the hat was extremely low. cold lips.

A brass token was clasped in his knuckle-knuckle hand, and he handed it to the two of them. On the token, the words "Jinyiwei" seemed to be pressed, causing the waists of the father and son to tighten again. Bend more than half.

The godfather salivated and said hastily, "I don't know what orders do you have?"

"Are you Shen Gong Supervisor Liu Dabao?" The man's voice was extremely low, with a deliberate hoarseness.

Unexpectedly, he came for them, and he was so clear about his origin?
Liu Dabao became an inch shorter, "Master, the younger one is Liu Dabao."

"You are responsible for sending the relatives of the criminals to Nanjing Jiaofang Division this time?"

Liu Dabao rolled his eyes, and when he replied, he paused, "Yes."

"Among them, is there the daughter of General Mingwei Gu Wenxuan?"

Liu Dabao and his godson looked at each other in shock, this time the reply paused for a longer time, "Yes, but..."

"Bold!" Before Liu Dabao could say "but", he yelled sharply, "You don't notice, you don't know who you are, and you dare to use other people to make up your numbers at will. See clearly, this is General Mingwei Gu Wenxuan's daughter, Gu Huan!"

A girl with her hands cut behind her back was dragged in from outside the cotton curtain, pushed in front of the two of them.

The girl didn't say a word, but raised her head silently and proudly, she really looked like the daughter of a general.

Only... Liu Dabao and his godson looked at each other silently, exchanging glances that they only understood.

The man in the flying fish suit was impatient to wait any longer, and asked in a lower tone, "Where is that girl you caught by mistake?"

Liu Dabao lowered his head, his eyes rolled wildly, and when he heard the man's warning hum, he had already made up his mind and said with a smile, "It turns out our family didn't notice and almost made a big mistake, thanks to your lord." Only then can we make up for it. The girl is lying in the guest room now, please come with us, my lord."

General Mingwei, although he is also a military officer of the fourth rank, but in this matter, he really didn't pay enough attention to it, and if he didn't pay attention to it, he didn't pay attention to it.

But I never thought that the daughter of such an inconspicuous family could still get a separate guest room, but the suspicion in my heart was seeing the bed with bandages on her head, faint blood stains, and she was obviously in a coma, and her face was pale. When it was a young girl with white and blue in the middle, she disappeared in an instant.

I see.One turned around, under the bamboo hat, two sharp lights glanced at Liu Dabao.

Liu Dabao hastily waved his hands and said, "It's none of our business. It's because this girl is too stubborn. She probably didn't want to join the Jiaofang Division. She took advantage of our family's unpreparedness and bumped her head against the wall. Our family also invited The doctor came to show her..."

The man ignored him, took off his cloak, wrapped the girl on the bed around her head, picked her up and strode out of the guest room door.
