Chapter 4* maidservant Qingluan
A large amount of snowflakes fell silently from the gloomy sky. Ningxia Town is protected from the strong northwest winds under the barrier of Helan Mountain, but it is also affected by the mountain climate. Every winter to spring, there will be at least a dozen heavy snowfalls.
Song Nan sat on the corridor outside the second floor of Guanxue Building, holding the file sent by Zhou Ang, who had just received, which was about the investigation of Yang Yiqing's attack. After looking at it for a while, Song Nan threw the file aside with a sneer on her face.
"Your Excellency, what has been found by Zhou?" Hou Dabiao asked.
"What else can there be? It's not that rhetoric, insisting that it was the work of a salam spies. However, this time, it was compiled in detail, with the witness's confession, as well as the testimony evidence of the so-called 'footprints and bonfire marks of the Tarans stealing into Ningxia Town' found by the patrol soldiers of Shizui Mountain Pass on the hillside. The killing of our 18 brothers has naturally become evidence. That's good. Everything is done by the salams, and the salams have become a scapegoat.
"Would you like to go to these so-called witnesses to verify? Maybe you will find something." Hou Dabiao said.
"No, they want to hide it. How can they find flaws? These so-called witness statements should be arranged roles. I don't want to waste time."
Hou Dabiao said, "Then how do we start now? Are we going to sit here?"
Song Nan smiled and said, "Yes, we will sit dry. After mixing the water, we have to sit still and wait for the fish to breathe. You should take a shower and change into clean clothes and wipe the mud on your armor. I think someone will see us tonight. You are also the governor of the Fusi of Beizhen, but you can't be so sloppy. "
Hou Dabiao blushed and said, "I'm going to take a shower. I'm afraid I'm smoking adults these days."
Song Nan smiled and said, "As long as you understand, you go."
Hou Dabiao said, "Your Excellency is so sure that someone will see us tonight. Don't you want to clean up?"
Song Nan said, "I don't need it. I just want to take advantage of this little free time to enjoy the snow. This building is not for nothing. Look, watching the snow on the roof of the treetops from this angle is really dazzling and the scenery is really good."
Hou Dabiao rolled his eyes and turned around and left. He was not interested in seeing any snow scenery. He was tired of rain and snow all the way. As soon as he saw the snow, he couldn't tell the fire in his heart. He couldn't wait to scold God for a few thieves. He was not in the mood to enjoy the snow.
The sound is silent, and the heavy snow is as dense as white ribbon falling from the sky. Soon, it buried all the fallen leaves and dead branches on the treetops on the roof on the ground. Under the cover of snow, the world seems to be pure and flawless. Even a pile of cow dung on the street becomes round and lovely after being covered by snow.
Song Nan stood on the porch of the second floor with his hands behind his back. There was a white space between the world and a quiet heart. At this time, he understood the essence of the name of the snow-viewing building. It was not that he could see the thick white snow on the top of the tree and roof after the snow, nor could he see the white gauze covered on the top of the mountain in the distance. The beauty is that when it snows, looking at the snow from the building is like shaking thousands of tulle in front of your eyes. The number of pedestrians, cattle and horses on the other side of the tulle are in a haze, just like in a dream.
A soft click, coupled with a pleasant 'buzz' sound, suddenly woke up Song Nan, who could not extricate himself from the falling snow scene. Song Nan turned around and a dark shadow flashed in front of him. Someone in his room seemed to be moving quickly and wanted to grab the door.
Song Nan's scalp was numb, his fingers stroked the embroidered spring knife handle around his waist, and shouted in a low voice, "What kind of person!"
Then his toes rushed into the room, and the dark bedroom was dark, but I saw a real shadow fleeing to the door with something. Obviously, this person came up from the stairs to enter the room, and Song Nan did not find this person while watching the snow on the corridor.
The guards next door arrived in an instant and blocked the door tightly. The sound of swords and waves sounded. The dark shadow was obviously scared and retreated. They were hit by a spring stool under their feet. Oh, with a delicate call, the whole person fell to the ground, and the things in their hands made a messy sound.
"Light up." Song Nan shouted.
The two guards quickly lit candles, and the fire lit up. What made people stunned was that the dark shadow that slowly appeared under the pressure of the shining cold blade turned out to be a beautiful girl sitting on the ground with a panic face. The girl's eyes were tightly huddled in the corner under the dressing table and holding a Yaoqin tightly in her hand. , his body trembled.
A personal guard shouted, "Who are you? How dare you break into my marquis's choking house without permission? If you have any plans, come quickly."
The girl trembled and said in her delicate voice, "I...I..."
"say! What are you hesitant about? Is it bad for my marquis? The guards shouted questions.
Song Nan coughed and said, "Get back. Don't scare her. This is just a little girl who stole the piano. Isn't this Yaoqin the one on the window? Girl, did you break in to steal this Yaoqin?
"Who is the thief? I'm not. This piano is ours. I was just ordered to come and get it. The girl's face turned red.
Song Nan said, "Oh? Is this piano yours? Obviously, I live here. I didn't see you when I checked in. How did I become your piano?
The girl shouted, "The snow building you live in was originally from our palace. This room turned out to be my princess's house. Everything here is my princess. If the prince hadn't asked us to vacate this building for you to live in, we wouldn't have dropped this phoenix music here; when the princess wanted to stroke the piano Shouldn't you think of dropping Yaoqin here and ordering me to take it back?
Song Nan laughed and said, "So it should be. If it's the owner's house, we are the people who occupy the magpie's nest; but how do I know you are not lying? Although we live temporarily, if we lack things out of thin air, won't the host family want to defile us as thieves?
The girl pointed to her nose and said, "You mean I lied? Can I lie? How can I lie?"
Song Nan laughed and said, "I don't know you well. I don't know people's faces but I don't know my heart. How can I know if you are just a reason to avoid the responsibility of theft?"
"You... are simply unreasonable. How can I, Qingluan, lie? Don't you ask? Have Qingluan lied since he was a child?"
Song Nan laughed and said, "It turns out that your name is Qingluan, Miss Qingluan. I will teach you a way to prove yourself. You said you are from the Qingwang Mansion, so you tell me about the situation in the Qingwang Mansion, and I will know whether you are real or false as soon as I hear it."
The girl named Qingluan stood up and held the pair of Yaoqin in her hand and said, "It's really true. What proof do you need? You people occupied my princess's Guanxuelou for no reason. When I came up from below, I saw that a good building was ruined. I don't know how sad it is for my princess to know it. You still have reason.
Song Nan sighed and said, "It's not our fault that someone asked us to live here. The problem now is not the problem of this building, but that you broke into my house and stole things. Maybe there are other plans, and you can't prove your identity. Well... We are all officials of Jinyiwei. You should have heard of Jinyiwei. If you have bad intentions against Jinyiwei officials, you will be punished. Zhao Baihu, tell this Qingluan girl, what kind of punishment will be given if he offends Jinyiwei?
A guard Baihu said with a face, "Generally, he takes off his clothes and spanks, uses a mace, and goes down dozens of holes with a stick."
Song Nan was stunned that there was no such punishment in Jinyiwei. This guy may see a beautiful girl and deliberately say such a vicious punishment. Looking at the look of the guards around him, I'm afraid that the girl has already been stripmed off her clothes to reveal her white buttocks and was beaten by a mace.
But this method really works. The girl screamed, her face was bloodless, and she shrank in the corner and shouted, "You...you are so shameless, how dare you."
Song Nan said, "If I were you, I would quickly find a way to prove my identity."
Qingluan took a few breaths and said, "Okay, but the affairs of the royal palace can't be publicized. You let them avoid it. I can't tell them. You are an official. I just want to listen to you."
Song Nan smiled and said, "Yes, you can step back."
The guards withdrew one after another, but just now, a woman was accidentally allowed to steal into Lord Song's room. If it was an assassin, it would be a great thing. If Wang Yong knew about this, everyone was afraid that they would be scolded and punished. After withdrawing this time, they did not dare to take it lightly and assigned people to stand guard on the stairs. Zhao Baihu went downstairs to find the guard at the entrance of the hall and scolded him.
