Quiet at dead of night, the long lane does not have the lamp. 夜深人静,长巷无灯。 Zhu Manzhi according to the waist sword, the going out lane angrily, then looked, Xu Buling not with the meaning, instead to is chasing wind horse steps the small broken step to follow in side, spurted the breaths of two white fog in the cold wind, obviously thought that has not been pulling personally, does not conform to its honored status. 祝满枝手按腰刀,气鼓鼓的走出巷子,回头看了看,许不令并没有跟出来的意思,反到是追风马迈着小碎步跟在旁边,在寒风中喷了两口白雾似的鼻息,显然觉得没个人牵着,不符合它尊贵的身份。 Zhu Manzhi goes out two steps, the leaning head looked at the eye, then forks the small waist to stare the big eye: 祝满枝走出两步,偏头看了眼,便叉着小腰瞪大眼睛: „Follows I to do really? I am not the servant of leading a horse.” “跟着我做甚？我又不是牵马的下人。” The chasing wind horse big head shook shaking, as if understood front tiny tot to say anything, spurted a breath to appear several points of discontented, turned head to run. 追风马大脑袋晃了晃,似乎听懂了面前的小不点说什么,喷了口鼻息显出几分不满,扭头就跑了回去。 „Hey ——” “嘿——” Zhu Manzhi purses the lips, was mad at heart. 祝满枝抿了抿嘴,心里更气了。 Heir Apparent Xu works as the guard her, after all the status there, even/including Pima works as the guard her, really bullies the person! 许世子把她当护卫也罢,毕竟身份在那里,连匹马都把她当护卫,实在是太欺负人啦！ Zhu Manzhi paced back and forth the moment in the lane entrance, originally wants to wait for Xu Buling to come out, but such a came her really not to become protected, thinks to feel oneself as the Jianghu person, must a little strength of spirit, then snort/hum, turn head to walk. Goes out several steps, finds a pebble to be in the way, then kicked a foot with the shoes sharp, where thinks that the pebble rolled one, kept off in the roads as before. 祝满枝在巷口徘徊了片刻,本来想等着许不令出来,可那么一来她不真成护卫了,想了想觉得自己作为江湖人,得有点骨气,便哼了一声,扭头就走。走出几步,瞧见一颗小石子挡路,便用鞋尖踢了一脚,哪想到石子滚了一圈儿,依旧挡在了路中间。 The Zhu Manzhi complexion sinks...... 祝满枝脸色一沉…… ----- ----- Nearby about two li (0.5 km) Arresting and Scouting Department has piece of building, Wolf Guards mostly came from all corners of the country selection, based in being not infrequent of Chang'an, basically is the Wolf Guards families who here house lives. Zhu Manzhi is newly-arrived, rented within the small courtyard here. 两里开外的缉侦司附近有一片房舍,狼卫大多都是从五湖四海选拔而来,常驻在长安的不在少数,这边宅子住的基本上都是狼卫的家眷。祝满枝初来乍到,也在这里租了间小院子。 Wolf Guards comes out to serve as a petty government official, brings few of family, in the evening rests also mostly sits in the tea stall of street listens to Storyteller lecture of them ‚great achievements’. 狼卫出来当差,带家眷的很少,晚上休息的也大多坐在街边的茶摊上听说书先生讲他们的‘丰功伟绩’。 Liu Hou'er is dialing the peanut in the tea stall of street, finds Zhu Manzhi depressed walks, sets out to greet: 刘猴儿在街边的茶摊上拨着花生,瞧见祝满枝闷闷不乐的走过去,起身打了个招呼: „Is Manzhi, how unhappy?” “满枝,咋又不开心？” Zhu Manzhi is kicking the pebble on street in a business area, say/way that has not lifted: 祝满枝踢着街面上的小石子,头也没抬的道: „Cannot solve a case, bothersome.” “破不了案,烦的。” Liu Hou'er sighed, nearby arrived consoles in a soft voice: „Robbing the governing horse was last year case, at that time not broken, now wants to solve difficultly such as to ascend to heaven, leaves such earnestly......” 刘猴儿叹了口气,走到跟前轻声劝慰:“盗御马是去年的案子,当时没破,现在想侦破难如登天,别这么认真……” Zhu Manzhi where has the thoughts to listen to these, ‚un’ walked earnestly. 祝满枝哪有心思听这些,‘嗯’了一声埋头就走。 Liu Hou'er thinks, opens the mouth saying: „The thing that in official document storehouse records does not know that was turned many spread, the investigation happened place has a look, to have the time elder brothers to accompany you to run one......” 刘猴儿想了想,开口道:“案牍库上记载的东西都不知被人翻了多少遍了,查案还是得到案发的地方看看,有时间哥哥们陪你跑一趟……” „Knows that knows ——” “知道啦知道啦——” Zhu Manzhi goes out several steps, feels a little hungry, ran over to stir up trouble a basket flower on Liu Hou'er table. 祝满枝走出几步,觉得有点饿,又跑过来把刘猴儿桌上的一篓花生端走了。 Liu Hou'er spreads out the hand to reveal several points of helplessness: „Your account in!” 刘猴儿摊开手露出几分无奈:“记你账上啊！” „Money also me, I gives money.” “把银子还我,我就给钱。” „We who with anyone, proposes money to hurt feelings......” “咱们谁跟谁,提银子多伤感情……” —— —— Under same piece sky, close snowflake from sprinkling above mountains city, the quarry in Chang'an City suburb is shining several lights. 同一片天空下,细细密密的雪花自洒在山川城池之上,长安城郊的采石场亮着几点灯火。 The cold winter night, commits a crime the corvee of dull here transformation, mostly can only rest in the shack, the tattered cotton fabric added on the point to do the bushes also to assemble. 寒冷的冬夜,犯了事呆在这里改造的徭役,大多只能睡在窝棚之中,破烂棉布加上点干茅草也就凑合过去了。 Quiet at dead of night, several bowls of clear gruel are hard to support the daytime practical training obviously, tired a day of hands and feet weak corvee, from time to time haunches the body to smell in the cold air, the fragrance of wine and meat scatters from the distant place, even if cannot eat, heard that heard is still good. 夜深人静,几碗清粥显然难以支撑白天的劳作,累了一天手脚无力的徭役,时而撑起身体在寒冷的空气中嗅一嗅,酒肉的香气自远处飘散过来,即便吃不到,闻上一闻也是好的。 In building of quarry manager housing, laughed heartily intermittently in the night wind vague. 采石场管事居住的房舍内,阵阵欢笑在夜风中若有若无。 The weapons hold the long spear/gun to stand under building, from time to time will also gain ground to have a liking for one, cannot only see anything pitifully. 兵甲持着长枪站在房舍下方,时而也会抬头看上一眼,只可惜看不到什么东西。 Treads —— 踏踏踏—— The hoofbeat resounds from the distant place, three horses speed away to come from the dim light of night, arrives around building, ignores to the guard, rode a horse directly outside building. 马蹄声自远处响起,三匹马自夜色中疾驰而来,一路走到房舍附近,对看守熟视无睹,直接就骑马到了房舍外。 What in three people are the head is a Li Family adviser, following two bring the bamboo hat, wears the fur-lined coat, the back sword and spear with the black cloth package, the standard Jianghu person dresses up. 三人中为首的是李家的一名师爷,后面两个则都带着斗笠,身穿皮袄,背后的刀枪以黑布包裹,标准的江湖人打扮。 Three people dismount outside rebuilt building, adviser expression before arrived at the gate, respectfully knocked knocking: 三人在翻修一新的房舍外下马,师爷表情的恭敬的走到了门前敲了敲: „Second young master, the person brought.” “二少爷,人带来了。” In the house the qin tune laughed heartily to stop, after the moment, two being beautifully attired woman whole faces felt disappointed took the paper money to walk, the vision still swept on the physiques of two Jianghu guests under. 房屋中琴曲欢笑停下,片刻后,两个花枝招展的女人满脸扫兴的拿着银票走了出来,目光还在两个江湖客的身板上扫了下。 „Comes in!” “进来吧！” „Yes.” “是。” The adviser raises slightly slightly, lifts the hand: „Two, inside invited.” 师爷微微欠身,抬起手来:“二位,里边请。” Two Jianghu guests looked at each other one, then entered in not big building about the same time. 两名江湖客对视了一眼,便前后脚进入了不大的房舍内。 With the cold wind of outside rustle compared with, in the room is warmer, various type luxurious ornaments crowded the room, in the air were filling some ill-smelling smells. 与外面的寒风簌簌相比,屋里暖和许多,各式奢华的摆设塞满了屋子,空气中弥漫着些许难闻的气味。 Li Tianlu put on the clothes, takes on the couch of wine pot by warming stove to sit down, the sitting posture optional vision was unruly, sized up several: 李天戮披上了衣服,拿着个酒坛在暖炉旁的榻上坐下,坐姿随意目光桀骜,打量了几眼: „Sits.” “坐吧。” Two Jianghu guests did not mind but actually this pampered young master attitude, selected the place that can stop over to sit down in the room. 两名江湖客倒也不介意这贵公子的态度,在屋子里挑了个能落脚的地方坐下了。 The adviser swept several to close the door outside, arrived at Li Tianlu, bowed saying: 师爷在外面扫了几眼才关上房门,走到李天戮的跟前,躬身道: „Second young master, has been paying attention to the Zhu Manzhi trend for these days, just obtained the news, Zhu Manzhi met the long-pending case of robber governing horse in Arresting and Scouting Department, near several days will definitely check. The master makes you be patient......” “二少爷,这几天一直注意着祝满枝的动向,刚刚得到消息,祝满枝在缉侦司接了个盗御马的旧案,近几天肯定会去查。只是老爷让你稍安勿躁……” Li Tianlu lifts the hand, light snort/hum: „Had a grudge not to report non- nobleman, Xiao Ting I cannot tidy up, a young bailiff can be my what, at the worst was dull the first half month in this quarry. Ties up to me her, done is cleaner.” 李天戮抬起手来,淡淡哼了一声:“有仇不报非君子,萧庭我收拾不了,一个小捕快能乃我何,大不了在这采石场多呆上半个月。把她给我绑过来,做的干净些。” The adviser selected compensated to smile, in an instant looked to two not silent men: 师爷点了赔笑,转眼望向两个一言不发的汉子: „These two knight-errant that is outside area comes, solution ring, Wu Biao, just arrived at the Chang'an background to be very clean.” “这两位是外地过来的游侠儿,解环、吴彪,刚到长安底子很干净。” Li Tianlu caught the eye to size up under: „Skill how?” 李天戮抬眼打量了下:“身手怎么样？” Two Jianghu guests are solution ring of head, hearing this lift the hand to hold the fist in the other hand: „Some want to open the dojo in Chang'an City, does obeisance mountain top especially, skill Young Master may feel relieved greatly.” 两名江湖客为首的解环,闻言抬手抱拳:“某等想在长安城开武馆,特来拜个山头,身手公子大可放心。” Li Tianlu is swaying the wine pot, smiled one gently: „To open the dojo in Chang'an, must hit Hutai Street half of teaching at a private school or as private tutor, both of you?” 李天戮晃荡着酒壶,轻轻笑了一声:“想在长安开武馆,得打过虎台街一半的坐馆,就你们俩？” solution ring raised the head slightly, reveals the full beard of lower jaw: „my one person am enough.” 解环微微抬头,露出下颚的络腮胡子:“我一人足以。” Nearby Wu Biao, carries two iron leg spears/guns that have not spliced, lifts the hand saying: „Our brothers, although is young, but also is widely traveled several thousand li (0.5 km), two people have never suffered a loss jointly, Taiyuan Wang Clan once invited me and others to be a retainer, but my brother two people think that rush out a positive result, Chang'an that comes.” 旁边的吴飙,身后背着未拼接的两段铁枪,抬手道:“我们兄弟虽年轻,但也走南闯北几千里,二人联手从未吃过亏,太原王氏曾邀我等为门客,只是我兄弟二人想自己闯出个名堂,才来的长安。” Can give the aristocratic family powerful family to work as the retainer, absolutely no is an untalented person. Li Tianlu slight nod: „My Li Family, although is not Longxi Li Clan, but in the weight/quantity of Imperial Court under Wang and Li two families, does not might as well be able to post with several powerful families in the future. So long as you completed the matter, in the future will then work under my hand. Dojo Young Master of Hutai Street is very ripe, greets then.” 能给世家门阀当门客的,绝对没有一个是庸手。李天戮微微点头:“我李家虽然不是陇西李氏,但在朝中的分量不下于王李两家,日后未尝不能与几家门阀并列。你们只要把事情办妥,日后便在我手底下做事吧。虎台街的武馆本公子很熟,打声招呼即可。” „Thanked Young Master!” “谢公子！” solution ring and Wu Biaotai hand hold the fist in the other hand, no longer talked too much, sets out then to leave building...... 解环和吴飙抬手抱拳,不再多言,起身便离开了房舍……
