    ?

    After driving for several days, Li Yan and Zha Xiaodao didn't feel anything, but Cao Yongchang couldn't bear it anymore.

    It's really not that the child is delicate, it's that the two masters, Zha and Li, are not human.

    The mountain was blocked by heavy snow, and they had to drive, and the mountain was closed, and they kept driving.

    What's even more wicked is that the road these few days has been full of tigers and bears, with snow killing people.

    The three of them encountered a rare beast in the deep mountains and old forests.

    A wild boar weighing more than 600 catties ran into two of them, and they rushed into the carriage in a hurry, causing Zha Xiaodao to fall down. Because the prey was too heavy, Zha Xiaodao only cut two large pieces of loin and went on the road.

    ?I also encountered a three-meter-long white-fronted tiger, which opened Cao Yongchang's eyes. However, this beast is quite spiritual. He followed the carriage for a few days, and finally left silently.

    During this process, the snow never stopped. It was even more difficult for the three of them to walk along the smooth journey.

    The twists and turns along the way finally made Cao Yongchang fall ill. Not to mention Cao Yongchang, even the hired horse was blue and blue from the cold and had chilblains.

    The other Feilei was in good spirits, but it was nothing ordinary after all, so it couldn't be compared.

    Originally, Li Yan was not in a hurry to rush on his way. Seeing that Cao Yongchang couldn't bear it, he discussed with Zha Xiaodao and decided to take a rest at an inn.

    It's just that the Liaodong area is desolate after all.  It is rare for a big city to open an inn, and the three of them drove the carriage out of the forest, only to find a nearby village where there was smoke.  I want to spend the night in a town.

    This place is called Niutoulan. In front of the doors of several bluestone tile-roofed houses, there is a plaque in the middle of the red lanterns in front of you, with the word "Zhen's Mansion" written on it.  The tile door knockers are all brand new. Looking at this door, it is also a rich man's house.

    Naturally, it was Li Yan who came forward and called to open the door of the mansion. A girl in green clothes and a watery maidservant came out.

    She saw a man wearing chain mail with a sword box on his back standing in front of Xuetian Gate, and she couldn't help covering her mouth with her sleeve in surprise: "Dare, dare to ask this lord. This is you?"

    Li Yan smiled kindly: "This lady invites me. My surname is Li. I am a general of Daningwei. I was ordered by the army to go to Jiangxi, and I passed through Baodi. I wanted to borrow a kang and raise a stove to avoid the heavy snow.  These two are with me."

    Li Yan pointed to the two people on the carriage behind him.

    "Well, I can't make up my mind about this, I'll go to the back hall and ask my wife."

    "Thank you, little lady."

    Li Yan took two steps back.

    Just as the little maid closed the door, she suddenly opened it and probed: "Little girl from the countryside, she has short-sightedness. Sir, can you have a guide or trust from the government to take me to the back hall to show to my wife? If the chief security officer asks,  We are a small family, so it is easy to answer."

    This maid is not very old, but she speaks quite decently.

    Li Yan simply took out the receipt for renting horses from the post station, and the above content was enough to prove his official status.

    The girl took the receipt, bowed gracefully, and walked towards the inner house with her slender waist like a willow swinging in the wind.

    When the little girl walked away, Cao Yongchang smiled and said, "If I were you, I would break open the door, hang the Zhenfu's belt on my body, and shout out, call your cards, Chief Jia. The chief guards come together  See me, that little lady is a sign, come over here, and warm up with a certain family!"

    He learned vividly, his eyebrows fluttering.

    Cao Yongchang had long regarded Zha Li as a golden-armored god-man descended from the story in the story. Along the way, although Li Yan was unsmiling, he was very patient with him, and Cao Yongchang let him go.

    "Stop talking when you enter the room later, and don't make trouble for me."

    Li Yan vaccinated Cao Yongchang, but the kid also knew how to behave, so he shouldn't act recklessly.

    Sure enough, after a while, the girl came back, returned the receipt to Li Yan respectfully, and said bluntly: "Mrs. Tai, please go to the outer hall to have a talk. Just leave the horse to the servant and take it to the back hall."  gone."

    Fei Lei snorted, and Li Yan said: "Little lady, don't go, my black horse doesn't eat grass, if there are pig and sheep offal, you might as well throw it in the trough, gold is expensive, so please worry about it.  "

    He was also generous, and stuffed a large piece of silver in the past.  The servant girl clutched the large piece of silver in her hand, silently speechless, and naturally agreed.

    The house of Zhen's mansion has more than a dozen large tile-roofed houses, with New Year pictures posted everywhere, sun-dried corn on the window sills, chicken coops and dog kennels, it is very prosperous.

    The three of them entered the house, Cao Yongchang looked around excitedly, but Zha Xiaodao felt an uncomfortable pinprick.

    He frowned.  Holding his elbow and pestling Li Yan: "Is there a problem with placing it here?"

      Li Yan was stunned: "It should be no problem. Before we set off, I asked the brother Jun Wu who went there to ask the way. This is a village where there should be a Niutoulan. The Baochang's surname is Lin, so it shouldn't be some ghost village.  A house trick."

    Zha Xiaodao nodded: "But I always feel that this house makes me a little creepy."

    Li Yan listened attentively, he didn't feel much about it himself, on the contrary, he felt that the house was a good fit, but Zha Xiaodao said so, there is probably something wrong with it.

    Ever since he carried the Dragon and Tiger flag on his back, Li Yan has long been prepared for the troublesome journey.

    Tigers and leopards, wild boars and black bears, most of them are beaten to the teeth, but they are not in the way. They may make Zha Xiaodao feel uncomfortable, so they must be ghosts.

    After entering the inner house, someone served hot tea and lit the stove. Not long after, a maid came out with the help of a maidservant, who had a white beard and hair and a dignified manner.

    After exchanging two or three pleasantries, Li Yan learned that the Zhen family was originally an official, and Mr. Zhen had the highest experience in the sixth department, and died of illness half a year after returning home.

    Master Zhen had a son during his lifetime, and he was already married. He was engaged in fur business in Liaodong, and his family was rich. This house was newly built in February, and it is very rich in the area of ??Niutoulan.  In April, Zhen Daguan went out to do business, leaving his mother and wife at home, usually served by servants and maids.

    The maid served some fruit, as well as a few large pieces of steaming hot smoked ham, and a few pieces of browned bean cakes. Cao Yongchang was used to wildness, so he didn't see the outside at the moment, so he ate it as soon as he put it in his mouth.

    Mrs. Zhen glanced at the child indiscriminately, and then changed the subject: "Master Li, let me say a few words, you are an official of the imperial court, and there are post stations along the way to welcome and receive you.  I want to kill a fat pig and bring you a few jars of old wine to entertain you, and I also want to give you some money to use, but I always have to know that you are a high-ranking official, where you work, even if you brag with others in the future, you can have someone to come to you.  Depend on."

    Mrs. Zhen's words were soft but hard, but she actually wanted Li Yan to show more detailed proof of her official position. After all, how can a general who is on official duties not even bring a soldier with him, but instead bring a child?

    People are soft-spoken, Li Yan just felt that it was too abrupt to use his official position to suppress people at the beginning. Now when Mrs. Zhen asked, he went along with the flow and took out an ivory card.

    This tooth plate is embossed with cloud patterns, and the front is engraved with the governor of the Ming Dynasty and the capital of Ning, and the hereditary flying cavalry captain.  The back is engraved with the number 2,530 "Yu", which is used to hang the card when the police are deployed, and the words that offenders are not allowed to be punished. In addition to receiving 150 taels of silver and some grain every year with the tooth card, it is also the call of the soldiers of the Daning Guard  certificate.

    In fact, apart from this, Li Yan also has the unmarked iron plate given to him by the Dragon and Tiger Taoist priest, which can dispatch the Tiqi of the North and South Fusi Yamen of the thirteen provinces.

    In addition, there is an additional handwriting, which was written by Li Rumei, the general soldier of Liaodong, and was shown to local government and Taiwan officials in special circumstances.  Neither of these items are appropriate to take out on this occasion.

    Madam Zhen looked at the tooth card, and her expression became more and more kind.  She asked the servant girl to help her to stand up, but Li Yan hurriedly stopped her.

    "Your Excellency has come from afar and welcomes you from afar. Forgive me and forgive me." (Remember this site URL: www.hlnovel.com
