White Moonlight of Powerful Officials at large

Chapter 38

The wind is like an arrow, and Pei You only found out when he galloped down Chang'an Street with his whip whipped. The dream just now made his underwear soaked in sweat.

At this time, the quiet capital city was the same as in the dream, except that besides Gu Fei, Wang Qinsheng was following behind him.

He had no time to think about the weird dream, and rushed all the way to the palace.

Seeing that dilapidated scene again, his fists were still clenched, and the guards of the Duke's Mansion also knelt on the ground as in the dream, but the location was not consistent with the dream.

In the dream, most of the guards were gathered in front of Wang Qinsheng's room, but now most of the guards are in front of Wang Fu and Mrs. Wang's room, Pei You paused a little before going to Wang Qinsheng's room, and turned around.

Before he passed by, someone was the first to speak: "My lord, please forgive me!"

He saw two black charred corpses in the yard from a distance, the coolness ran up his back, his legs seemed to be grabbed by the scorched earth on the ground.

"Master!" Wang Qinsheng's tearful cry sounded in the silent night, "Ma'am!"

He rushed to the place surrounded by the guards like an arrow, and when he saw the two charred corpses, he was too timid to go forward. He looked back at Pei You who was not far away, with a sad and panicked expression.

Pei You felt pain in the corner of her forehead again, and the needles were pierced into her temples like needles.

He closed his eyes heavily, then opened them again, his eyes were as bright red as blood, and he walked in slowly.

This scene is also quite different from the dream.In the dream, the three people probably wanted to protect each other and were entangled with each other, and they couldn't be separated when they were carried out. At this time, the two corpses on the ground were lying flat on the stretcher, as if they had not experienced any pain during their lifetime.

Pei You walked over with a heavy step.

The white jade bracelet on the wrist was also blackened, but...

He knelt down to hold the female corpse's hand.

"My lord..." Wang Qinsheng was already kneeling beside him, tears streaming down his face.

Pei You put down that hand and looked at the male corpse again.

The male corpse, like the female corpse, had already been burnt badly. Seeing Pei You's expression, Wang Qinsheng's eyes were lonely and widowed, and his face was almost transparent. She went to her knees and wanted to persuade him, but saw his tense body loosen suddenly, and he rushed to help him: "Young master!"

"No problem."

Pei You's voice was low and hoarse, her lips were also white, and the coldness in her eyes became lighter. She took two steps back and respectfully kowtowed three times to the two corpses.

At this time Wen Ning was not sleeping soundly, she was still thinking about the fire after all, she wondered if the royal residence tonight would also catch fire unexpectedly like in her previous life.

So an arrow pierced through the air, and when it hit the side of her bed, she immediately opened her eyes.

When I got up and looked at the night, there was indeed a small arrow with a note tied to it.

It was the first time for her to see such a way of sending messages, and she felt that what was said in the scripture book was somewhat believable, that someone with such a skill could shoot arrows accurately without entering the room.

She didn't want to wake Linglan up, so she didn't turn on the lamp.Fortunately, the moonlight was clear, so she took off the note and unfolded it by the window. The writing on it was very clear.

"As you wish."

"We'll talk about it again in Yichun Garden tomorrow."

Wen Ning read these two sentences three times. "As you wish", it can be seen that there was indeed a fire in the palace tonight, and they also rescued the three master and servant as she entrusted.

But why is there still "tomorrow's application for Yichun Garden"?It stands to reason that this transaction is completed, and they will forget each other in the rivers and lakes from then on.

Could it be that something went wrong in the middle?
Wen Ning tore up the paper strip, then used tea to dissolve the writing on it, and even spilled the tea with the paper out of the window.

Inside the Wang's house, Jingzhao Fu Yin led people to come overnight, and within half an hour, he found out the cause of the water leakage.

"My lord, from the traces of the fire, it started from the master's bedroom. A square table in the middle was completely burned down. It must be that the candlestick was overturned. The Wang and his wife were sleeping soundly, so they didn't notice it."

Standing beside Yin of Jingzhao Mansion, Pei You said in a low voice, "My parents don't have the habit of lighting candles all night."

He has been recognized by the Duke's Mansion. The term "father and mother" is not appropriate. Yin Duanyong of Jingzhao Mansion was stunned for a moment, thinking that he was guilty of his adoptive parents, and said respectfully: "My son, the Wang family is in Beijing. For many years, have you ever had a feud with anyone?"

Pei You's eyes darkened: "Not at all."

Duan Yong had been working in Jingzhao Mansion for nearly ten years when he was not confused, and Pei You understood what he meant in just a few words, and immediately cupped his hands and said: "My son, please rest assured, I will definitely respect and kiss you, and put an end to the fire tonight." Check it out clearly, give the two elders an explanation!"

"Thank you." Pei You saluted indifferently.

Duan Yong watched the Duke's mansion leave and touched his chin thoughtfully.

This son who grew up among the people is not easy to deal with.

Coming in a hurry, Pei You rode on horseback, and when he came out of the palace, the carriage had already parked at the door and waited for him.

Wang Qinsheng didn't know how to ride a horse, so he got into the carriage with him.When he was outside, he cared about Pei You's decency, so he held back and didn't dare to cry. When he got into the carriage and it was only him and Pei You, he couldn't help it anymore, wiped his tears with his sleeve, and began to cry.

If I had known... If I had known that he shouldn't be staying in the Duke's mansion tonight, he should have rushed back. If he was there, maybe he could rescue the old lady?

The more he thought about it, the more he blamed himself, and finally burst into tears.

Pei You didn't look at him, and didn't even seem to hear his cry. He just looked at the curtain on the car window lightly, and rubbed unconsciously between his fingertips.

If Wang Qinsheng were sober at this time, he would find that his young master was unusually calm, he didn't even show any grief for his parents' death, he just sat quietly in the carriage, as if sunk in another world.
-
As expected, Wen Ning's toes were not broken, and after applying medicine that day, she was much better the next day.

As of today, the swelling has completely subsided.

But she still encountered strong opposition from Linglan when she wanted to go out.

"Girl! You came back in such a state of embarrassment when you went out last time, and you are determined not to go out again this time!" Linglan was arrogant for a rare time, she put her hips on her hips and refused to take the men's clothes for Wen Ning, "If you want to go out, you must take me with you."

How could it be possible to bring Linglan in a place like Yichun Garden.

She didn't do anything, Wen Ning went to get the clothes by herself.

"Girl!" Linglan had nothing to do with her, stomping her feet and calling out to her.

While changing clothes, Wen Ning said, "It's really the last time. After this time, I will definitely never go out of my way, and I will never do these outrageous things again."

"But……"

"Don't worry, I won't drink alcohol today, and I will definitely be back within an hour." Wen Ning just happened to have a hat, turned around and left.

Linglan stomped her feet helplessly again, really... there is no way!
Wen Ning arrived at Yichun Garden on time, there were no guests there at this hour, the girls greeted her as soon as they saw her.She reported the code word directly to the old bustard, and was immediately taken to the last wing.

Finally, she didn't need to wait any longer this time, the thin and slightly sickly boy had already made tea and was waiting for her.

"How was yesterday?" Wen Ning asked directly as she sat down.

Mr. Yi poured her a cup of tea, raised his eyebrows and said with a smile, "Miss, drink some tea first?"

Wen Ning looked at his smile and looked at him suspiciously: "Did you miss it?"

"Young lady, what are you talking about?" Mr. Yi said with a slight smile, "If you can't do such a thing, isn't it a blow to my Mr. Yichun's brand?"

Oh, it turns out that his full name in Jianghu is Mr. Yichun.

"Everyone was rescued? Sent away from the capital?"

"nature."

"Then why did you invite me over?" Wen Ning asked.

Mr. Yichun twirled the teacup twice with his fingertips, and the smile deepened on the corner of his mouth, and he said: "Although I don't know the relationship between the girl and the Wang's house, and the Zhuangyuan Lang, but since the girl spends a lot of money to save people, right now... ...I have some news here, which must be extremely valuable to the girl."

Wen Ning squinted at him: "Then tell me."

Mr. Yichun took a sip of tea and said casually, "Miss, this is another price."

really!

Wen Ning let out a cold snort in her heart, knowing that this young man who valued money like his life called her here for something else.

"For the sake of the girl being a regular customer, I can give the girl a discount." Mr. Yichun added in a timely manner.

Although she didn't intend to spend the money, Wen Ning subconsciously asked after hearing the "discount", "How much?"

"5000 taels."

Wen Ning almost spit out the tea in her mouth, did she take her for a ride?What kind of broken news is worth 5000 taels?Also discounted? !

"No need." Wen Ning swallowed down the tea in her mouth, "Farewell."

Anyway, as long as people are saved, if there is any news, it is related to Pei You, so she doesn't want to know.

"3000 taels."

Mr. Yichun actually took the initiative to lower the price.

But I'm sorry, her entire net worth is only 500 taels, and the bank notes are still in Wenfu, so she can't afford 3000 taels.

"One thousand five hundred taels." Seeing that she hadn't stopped walking, Mr. Yichun said again.

In the future, Wen Ning regretted it immensely. She should have bought this news!But at this moment, she only had one thought in her mind: Yichun Garden can be negotiated!And can you talk so much?What about people from the rivers and lakes who are said to be unrestrained, unrestrained, and innocent? !
The 5000 tael order can be reduced to 500 taels, so wouldn't she lose 4000 taels for her previous 500 taels? ? ? ! ! !
Not wanting to wait for her to arrive at the door, Mr. Yichun said with a cold voice: "1000 taels, it can't be lower."

1000 taels!She abruptly lost 3000 taels!

The blood in Wen Ning's heart was rushing.

Don't mention 1000 taels, she shouldn't spend more on Pei You!

Without turning her head, she went straight out of the wing room, leaving Mr. Yichun in the room stunned.

This little girl seems to be inexperienced and generous, but she refuses to spend 1000 taels for a piece of news that is worth far more than 5000 taels?

Miscalculation Miscalculation.

It actually made him make a loss-making deal.

He sighed and took out the silk cloth in his sleeve.

It came last night, and there were only two sentences written on it.

The first sentence: "Walking through water is man-made arson."

Game [-]: "To avoid arousing suspicion, two corpses of similar stature have been found to replace them."

Tsk tsk, since the little girl doesn't want to...

He pulled out the fire folder and approached the silk cloth, and in one breath, the silk cloth and the characters on it were reduced to ashes.

Whether this arson and murder can be discovered depends on God's will.
