At the foot of Nanpai Mountain, Changsha Prefecture, Hunan Province, the grass house is smoky, the spring rain is continuous, the stream is murmuring, in the already picturesque scenery, a touch of light yellow flutters in, it is a bright girl. Holding an oil umbrella, his long black hair is lightly pulled, he is casually slanted on the top of his head, and he is holding a bamboo basket in his hand, but there is a stack of books inside.

The creek is only three or five paces wide, but the spring water is overflowing, and it is no longer a road. There was a small wooden bridge thirty or fifty paces away, and the girl looked at the distance, shrugged her shoulders, and did not want to take a detour. On the side of the neck, which is as elegant as a jade, he holds the umbrella and carries the corner of the skirt, revealing the blue and blue shoes and a trace of white skin on the ankles, and goes straight to the stone.

Unexpectedly, the drizzle moistened the stone face, the girl sighed, the umbrella flew and fell, and the whole person threw himself into the stream, splashing the boss with a splash.

"My young lady, is it so difficult to walk a little longer?"

"I drank a bowl of porridge in the morning, I know how many miles I can walk, don't worry about me, hurry up and help me spread the book! That's the pipe I just picked up...... Sneezing ——! ”

In the grass house, the girl wrapped in a velvet blanket had her hair disheveled, her nose was red, and the fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl, who was supposed to be his maid, was rubbing her body vigorously so that she would not catch a cold.

Hearing that her own young lady was reading, the maid girl was angry: "Miss! People are always more expensive than books, and at this time, it is terrible to say that the wind is cold! Do you know that spring is like a thread!? ”

The young lady scoffed, "Where did you learn the proverb?" You, I'm afraid that you were coaxed by which scholar? That's Sorrow, right? Spring sorrow is like silk rain, who is hooking me with this stupid girl's hair? Who, who? ”

The maid couldn't stand the humiliation, and stamped her feet angrily: "Miss! I'm not the Persian cat! You just bully me more by reading! ”

The young lady had a leisurely look in her eyes and whispered: "The spring rain is as thin as silk, like a silky mist." How can everything be bustling in a flash......"

Then her tone changed, with enough pity: "But I never thought, alas, the spring rain is as thin as silk, and it is the time when the spring cold deceives customers......"

Liudou pouted and said, "Miss, you're hating yourself for not being a man again, right?" The heart is weak to the eunuch road, and the dream of seeking the hometown is uneven, but I can still carry it. ”

The young lady was unveiled, and she stretched out her arm to knock on the head of the six buckets, but the hao wrist and lotus arm were exposed, and the surrounding light seemed to dim.

"Miss, the lord calls you!"

When she was playing, a mother-in-law's voice sounded outside the door, and the young lady was so frightened that she quickly retracted into the blanket.

After a long time, along the wooden bridge on the stream outside the cottage, the master and servant who had stopped dressed up stepped on the stone road, and turned to the bottom of the mountainside, but it was a village with blue bricks and green tiles.

"Yuyou, hurry up and pack your things, our Duan family can't stay in Hunan any longer."

In a room with bookshelves on almost all four walls, a middle-aged man in a Confucian shirt muttered with a sad face.

"Oh, got it."

The girl's face was not shocked.

"Huh? You don't ask...... Forget it, you lazy girl, when you are a piece of furniture, just throw it in the car. ”

The middle-aged man rolled his eyes helplessly.

"What is there to ask, it must be my uncle's fault. It is said that he has stirred up such a big move in Guangdong, and the government is only looking for trouble for us now, which is really strange. ”

This Yuyou is Duan Hongshi's niece Duan Yuyou, and this middle-aged man is Duan Yuyou's father Duan Yunchang. Hearing her daughter's complaints, Duan Yun often scratched her head, feeling that her consciousness was much worse than her daughter's.

"I can't stay in Hunan, I'm going to Guangdong?"

"Where else can I go? Your uncle has been urging since the end of the year, and now he has come with every issue of Yuexiu Times. ”

"Daddy, you are wise, you should go to Guangdong, the delicious food is in Guangdong, I am tired of eating this hot Hunan flavor."

"You girl......"

Choked by her daughter's tone of going out to look for food, Duan Yunchang found that she had made a mistake again, so she shouldn't talk to this daughter too much.

"But what the hell is the idea that Uncle hit, Dad, you have to make it clear to him, I don't want to get involved in that crazy old man's affairs."

"No matter what your uncle has planned, you don't plan for yourself? You'll be twenty, twenty this year! ”

The father is still being held by his daughter's tongue and can't stop at all.

"Me? I, Duan Yuyou, have married the book, married to the world in the book! ”

"Book, can you have children with books!?"

"Dad, there is rouge in the book, Pan Anlang in the book, and I am not a son, so what is not filial piety, I can't be blamed for it, if you want to blame it, blame your father."

"Hey...... You girl......"

When his daughter came out of the house, the father who was trembling with anger woke up to what was wrong with him, and made up his mind not to talk to this poisonous daughter, which was really troublesome for himself.

"Hurry up and clean up! The magistrate informed us early, and he had done his best, so I didn't want the jars and jars, and the books couldn't be missing! ”

Putting aside his helplessness for his daughter, Duan Yun often greeted his subordinates.

In the first year of the Yinghua Yongli calendar, in April of the 55th year of Kangxi, Duan Yunchang moved his family to Guangdong.

What followed these merchants was a large amount of goods, which became pieces of data, which were left in the audit books of Shaozhou Taiping Pass, and finally gathered in the hands of Guan Xuan, who was in Guangzhou.

"Not only that, in the past half a month, the amount of pig iron from Taiping Pass to Hunan has quadrupled! Close the contraband found in it, such as steel reeds and steel screws, ten times more than before! There are even people who directly traffic muskets! ”

Guan Xuan frowned, emphasizing the seriousness of the situation in front of Li Xian.

"Hunan was made a circle by Nian Qianyao, and the officials below saw Nian Qianyao ascend to the governor of Sichuan, and they all thought that it was the set that won the sacred heart of Kangxi Lao'er, so they had to learn from it, and they wanted to embarrass us. It is normal to have these changes, and there are also these situations in Jiangxi, Fujian, and Guangxi, but the amount is not so obvious. ”

Li Yan shook his head, Guan Xuan relied on these evidences to persuade him to change the strategy of the British and Chinese army to the west, but it was too powerless. If it weren't for Guan Xuan talking about the data, he would really smoke Guan Xuan's little ass and accuse her of "harem politics".

"But I heard Luo Xiaozi say that the general of the Tartars is set in Xi'an Mansion, something is abnormal, and the green camps in Hunan and Hubei have gathered, isn't this a sign?"

Guan Xuan still didn't give up, Li Xian's face sank, this little daughter-in-law was too much to manage.

He asked very seriously, "Tell me, what is the real reason?" ”

Guan Xuan looked down at her toes, she had been with her fourth brother for so many years, and she really couldn't hide any careful thoughts from him...... "I...... I felt that when I thought of Hunan, I panicked. ”

"You, this is to have a conclusion first, and then find evidence, so what evidence is not?"

Li Shi shook his head, this thinking is unacceptable!

"Don't get caught up in the verdict in your head! To make this kind of decision, the most fearful thing is to first identify one thing, and then prove it, even if the evidence is small, as long as you see a little thing, you will feel that you are right, wrong, that's how you made it! ”

Li Xi began to reprimand, and as he spoke, he also reflected, should he be like this.

"No, no, the evidence is so obvious, the general is set in Xi'an, not to Lanzhou or even Xining, that is to unify the military forces of Shaanxi and Gansu. The gathering of green camps in Hunan and Hubei is just a precautionary measure to prevent me from entering Hunan. Besides, what can these green camps do? Unless it is the Shaanxi-Gansu Green Battalion, I am afraid that there is still some combat power. ”

There are indeed some visions, Li Xi thought about it carefully, although Yinzhen was named a general, but the title was only promoted to Baylor, and he was not the so-called "general king" in later generations. And now it has just been sealed, how can it take two or three months to go on the expedition. In such a situation, Kangxi ostensibly chose the northwest, but in fact he was dealing with himself, which may be too suspenseful, and this matter is too romantic.

"Don't get involved in this anymore! Look at your supernatural power bureau, you have turned the Tianwang Mansion into an amusement park, if you have this spirit, you will go to check the entry and exit trade of the Nanyang side, and then be naughty, beware of me punishing you like punishing Sanniang. ”

Li Xian intimidated and threatened him, so frightened that Guan Xuan stuck out his little tongue, and when he heard that his "Divine Power Bureau" could still be kept, he quickly admitted to Li Xian that he was indeed suspicious.

But why is this so? Hunan, what terrible monsters are hidden? ”

This question was reluctantly pressed into Guan Xuan's heart.

In mid-April, in the back hall of the governor's yamen in Changsha, Hunan, a local magistrate respectfully saluted a dusty young man, and behind this young man were several equally tired retinues, one of whom was tall, Li Wei, who was familiar to Hunan officials. Previously, this person had the rank of soldier and prepared for the road, assisting Nian Qianyao in acting. After Nian Qianyao was promoted to the governor of Sichuan, he also went back to Yanjing, but he didn't expect that it would be less than three or four months, but he came back again.

"Emperor An, the general is waiting for the whole army to leave Beijing, which one is the Hengyong Chengui sub-patrol to prepare for the road?"

That young man turned out to be a messenger who had been ordered by the emperor to come on behalf of Yinzhen.

Hearing him ask, a middle-aged four-rank civil official stood up: "Hu, Hu Qiheng, lead Heng Yongchen Guidao." ”

The young man nodded, and his tone was kind: "My Garbi is to help the general fight the front station, although the army is not passed by Hunan, but the grain donation still depends on your helpers, and I hope you will help a lot." ”

He bowed his hand to everyone, and these Hunan officials hurriedly returned the salute, and Hu Qiheng, who was originally Nian Qianyao's staff, glanced at Li Wei, and immediately turned his gaze away. One of the two of them works for Yinzhen, and the other works for Nian Qianyao, and they naturally regard the cronies of the fourteenth elder brother Yinzhen as one.

But Li Wei was personally sent by Yinzhen, and Hu Qiheng was also given the strategy by Nian Qianyao, and now Yinzhen and Yinzhen are working together, and the two of them have to do their best with Garbi.

Garbi was ordered to come to Huguang to prepare for military quarters, and the other officials only took a trip to the autumn breeze and had a polite exchange with the Hunan officials, and Hu Qiheng was left in the back hall.

Garbi asked: "I don't know how to do the past affairs in Hunan?" ”

Hu Qiheng said: "The lowly position has always followed the policy of the year system, and strictly inspected the businessmen associated with the Guangdong thieves. After the general's order arrived, he also said that the Xiantai would push the scope of inspection to the whole province, and at the same time, it was not limited to businessmen, Hunan, and the businessmen and bad men who were in collusion with the Cantonese thieves should be no longer able to gain a foothold, even if they were not imprisoned, they had already fled to Guangdong. ”

Garbi nodded with satisfaction: "The most important thing is the merchant!" Cut off their business, cut off their news, and we can act. ”

Li Wei said with a radiant expression: "This time, we will join hands to seal Li Xi's throat with a knife!" ”
