But the bright moon shines on the ditch

People often say that the people in Mo Shang are like jade, and the young master is unparalleled in the world. Zhou Qiguang's face is worthy of the reputation of "White Stone Man". It should not be played with when viewed from a distance, but nothing can be seen up close.

Surprisingly, through that flawless skin, Liang Peiqiu saw the shadow of her old friend. She didn't know that the skin with completely different appearances hid the same bones. She only knew that the eyes that had frightened her when they first met him were staring at her now, and every inch of his texture was hurt.

Her heartbeat suddenly skipped a beat.

And the only opportunity was missed in this momentary trance.

Xu Zhiliu soon realized that this was another one of her tricks, similar to the loss of control on the cliff that night, but it was just to deceive his sincerity, and he almost fell for it again.

There was always a faint scent of bitter orange on her body, which smelled good and charming. He felt ashamed of his involuntary collapse, so he threw her down hard, took a few steps back, and angrily shouted: "Liang Peiqiu, you dare to be disrespectful to me! "

Liang Peiqiu leaned on her knees and chuckled: "Mr. Zhou, could it be that I guessed your thoughts and made you angry?"

"I was kind enough to save you, and you treat me like this?"

"Do you want to save me?" She raised her body and sneered, "I'm still valuable to you, right?"

I don’t know what kind of forbidden drug An Jiu used on her. The drug was extremely harsh. After her body adapted to the coldness of the ice cellar, the wave swept over again, pushing layer by layer from the soles of her feet to the top of her head, making her She was like water and fire, suffering.

She had to admit that the brief rubbing together might be the best antidote. However, the time, place and people are not perfect, and she does not have the courage she once had in spring.

Before her rationality collapsed, she bit her lip cruelly, and bright blood dropped at the corner of her lip.

Xu Zhiliu was shocked, but he heard her say resolutely: "This incident was all your fault. Do you dare to say that before forcing me to set up the supervisory committee, you never thought that An Jiu would be suspicious of me? Mr. Zhou, you have done a small job Man, why bother pretending to be a gentleman anymore, get out of here!"

"But you..."

"If you don't want me to die, get away." She gritted her teeth and said, "Get out!"

Because this roar consumed all her strength, she fell again. Xu Zhiliu took a step forward, but stopped again. Under the weak candlelight, their eyes met again, but no one spoke.

After a long time, Xu Zhiliu loosened his clenched fists, turned around and walked out. Long shadows were reflected on the wall, getting farther and farther, until they merged into the darkness.

Liang Peiqiu's heart dropped, and she finally fainted from exhaustion.

Not long after, she woke up again to the unbearable itching pain, which was like being bitten by thousands of insects. She kept rubbing her arms against the ice to relieve the heat in her body. However, the skin is almost worn out, and the fire of karma is still hard to eliminate.

It was almost dawn at this time, and a ray of light leaked from the top of the cellar. No one knew that in a brick house not far from the morning market in Nishiryokusho, a graceful body was lying on the ice platform.

The pure white cotton strips are half-stretched and hanging to the ground, half-stretched to cover the waist, vaguely outlining the concave and convex direction. The clothes on the ground were messy. After rubbing his snow-white toes and taking off his shoes and socks, the last piece of clothing was gone. His pink skin did not feel cold, and it seemed that even the remaining thin cloth was being torn off.

The snowy fields are red-eyed, and wildfires are burning wildly. Accompanied by occasional rapid moans, which gradually turned into weak gasps, it was obvious that freezing could only relieve the pain, but could not eliminate the medicinal properties.

At this time, the fire candle "Bip Pei" jumped.

The woman's body trembled, but soon the ice cellar fell into complete darkness. The karma is the karma of the soul, how can the body bear it? Feeling a touch of coldness in her daze, the woman no longer cared about anything and leaned forward, sucking eagerly along the nectar.

Soon, there was the sound of water.

Until the sky is white.

At this time, the tall guard had just returned to the imperial kiln factory and reported to An Jiu for the follow-up. But without him opening his mouth, An Jiu already knew the result.

To say that the whole army was annihilated is an exaggeration. At least the other party left one alive to report to him.

Seeing the guard in front of him who was covered in blood and was useless even if he was saved, An Jiu overturned the tea table and pushed down the Bogu shelf. Amidst the tinkling, clanging, clanging sounds all over the ground, everyone inside and outside knelt down in a group, shouting for the Lord to calm down.

How can An Jiu calm down? After staying up all night, he only got such a sensational result. If he really calmed down, wouldn't everyone climb on top of him and dominate him in the future? !

He laughed wildly, almost to tears.

Liang Peiqiu, is this how you dare to betray me? Good, very good!

An Jiu said: "Come here, please pass on the order. Last night, thieves broke into the imperial kiln factory, set fire to them, and stole winter porcelain. The government soldiers chased them to the Anqing kiln and had a fight with them. Now most of the thieves have been brought to justice, but There are still criminals escaping... The whole town will be sealed off from now on to capture the key criminals."

He originally wanted to ask the short guard to come forward, but then he thought again and pointed at Zhou Yuandao, "Go to the county government office and the inspection department in person and ask them to assist. The louder the noise, the better."

Zhou Yuan didn't know what he meant and was slightly hesitant.

An Jiu said sharply: "What? Is it useless for me to speak now?"

Zhou Yuan quickly confessed and walked out as ordered. When he was about to go out, he secretly glanced back and caught a glimpse of Anjiu walking towards the unconscious tall guard.

The tall, thin and short fat men were the most outstanding brothers among this group of soldiers. If not, they would not have been selected by An Jiu as his personal attendants. Now one of them is seriously injured and unconscious, and the other one has long been unable to contain his anger and is ready to act.

An Jiu asked, "Do you want to avenge your brother?" The short guard almost broke his teeth: "I will crush those damned ones to ashes!"

"it is good."

Soon enough, a cold light passed by. In the eyes of everyone who was so shocked that they dared not come back to their senses for a long time, An Jiu drew a long knife nearby and stabbed the person on the ground.

The half-dead man bounced like a salted fish and soon lost his breath.

The elder brother watched helplessly as his own knife killed his own brother.

"They just let him back to humiliate me. Besides, you guys live a life of licking blood with knives. You have long been accustomed to working with knives. It's painful to barely survive. So I gave him a ride. Do you understand my painstaking efforts?"

After a long time, the short man bowed forward, untied his robe and covered his younger brother.

"I understand." The snow that had fallen all night was still falling, and the younger brother's body was already cold. A flash of determination flashed in his eyes, "My lord, whatever your order, I will not hesitate to die."

Zhou Yuan didn't hear what was said next. An Jiujiu gave him a secret order.

Ordinarily, given the big commotion at the Anqing kiln last night, it is impossible for the inspection department to be unaware of it, and they should go to check the situation as soon as possible. However, it snowed too hard, and there were many things to do during the festival last year. Wu Yin took the lead in neglecting his duties. , the people below naturally followed the same example, sleeping until three o'clock in the morning before getting up.

When Zhou Yuan came to inspect the yamen, Wu Yin was still yawning.

Seeing that the snow in front of the door was so deep that it didn't cover the tops of his boots, and Zhou Yuan was struggling to walk with one foot deep and one foot shallow, he was so kind that he asked someone to come over to clear the snow, and then went up to greet him in person.

As soon as he heard Zhou Yuan's intention, his drowsiness disappeared immediately.

"Winter porcelain was stolen?"

He looked shocked and pale. Zhou Yuan carefully observed his expression, his expression unmoved: "That's not true. You just need to find out in time, otherwise, let alone the imperial kiln factory, I am afraid that no one will have a good life this year." No. When Wu Yin spoke, he glanced at the black eyes under his eyes and asked strangely, "Didn't you sleep last night?"

Wu Yin covered his face and coughed lightly: "I was so happy yesterday that I drank [-] taels of wine. In the evening, I played some dice with my brothers in the check-in room."

"Didn't your Excellency hear anything going on outside?"

"How can I not hear the gongs and drums played all night long? The noise gives me a headache." He commented seriously, "I don't know where the troupe Xinhui hired this time. Those little actors can sing well." It doesn’t sound very good, the voice is too thin.”

Zhou Yuan was speechless: "It's approaching the New Year's Eve and there are constant snacks. Didn't your Excellency arrange for people to patrol the streets at night?"

"Sir, what do you mean by this? Could it be that you are here to investigate for Master An?"

"Don't blame me, sir. This matter has nothing to do with Mr. An. It's all due to my impatience and overstepping my bounds. If your Majesty had even the slightest intention of blaming me, you wouldn't have asked me to ask for your help in catching the criminal. Winter porcelain is of great importance, and every government office in Jingdezhen will be prosperous. At this time, we must be consistent with the outside world.”

Wu Yin snorted and said, "Looking at the attitude of sir just getting to the bottom of things, there is no consistent sincerity to the outside world. In this case, why not call the brothers who played dice together last night and let sir interrogate him carefully? Let's talk about it after we have dispelled our doubts. Follow-up.”

Zhou Yuan was really unsure about his martial character, who refused to take any advice. He begged for mercy three times and said that the situation was urgent and could not be delayed. Only in this way would he be comforted.

But in the time it took to eat, the day lily became cold. By the time Wu Yin and his people arrived at the Anqing kiln, the blood stains on the corpses in the backyard had been cleaned up, leaving no traces.

Zhou Yuan was shocked, and Wu Yin had no choice but to tell the truth: "God is not kind to us, the snow is too heavy, and whatever is there, it will be washed away quickly."

He also raked the matter, "Since Mr. An immediately discovered that the thief was following here, why didn't you send more people to protect the scene? How can I trace it without any clues?"

Zhou Yuan had already experienced his temper and accepted the status quo honestly: "I have already been to the county government office, and I will leave the investigation to Mr. Zhou. However, thieves are rampant and hiding in the market is dangerous. If cholera breaks out again, it will not be safe." Okay, Sir Wu, please immediately send people to guard the city gates, and then search door to door to see if there is anyone suspicious."

Wu Yin rolled his eyes at him: "You don't need to teach me how to do things, sir, everyone has arranged it!" Then the topic changed, "But you have also seen the weather, the snow has not stopped, and the road is not easy to walk. If you want to take people, you have to do what you can. . If there is no harvest, sir, please don’t accuse us again."

It's okay to say that the winter porcelain is really lost, but the key things are not lost, how can one be prosperous and prosperous? It's a great honor for a brother department to be willing to help, not to mention the cold weather, no allowance, no credit, and no good words. Who is willing to suffer along with him?

Zhou Yuan was humiliated by Wu Yin in all aspects. When he left, rubbing his nose, he was still thinking, are all martial arts practitioners so slippery?

Thinking about Wu Yin's actions before and after, it seems that he really doesn't know the real reason for this big war. Not only did dozens of people die overnight, but their corpses also disappeared without a trace in a short period of time. It was obvious that the other party was an expert and highly professional.

In the huge Jingdezhen, few people have this ability.

Since the other party is hiding in the world and is willing to be Liang Peiqiu's superior, how can he be exposed so easily? I don’t know what An Jiu’s idea was. When he thought about what happened in Xiao Qingyuan last night, Zhou Yuan suddenly realized something and his scalp went numb.

So, when a man in neon red clothes who looked very similar to Liang Peiqiu walked through Jingde Street and entered the Anqing kiln, the official of the imperial kiln factory who was lucky enough to witness last night's drama of "presenting a concubine on a snowy night", At least most of the old officialdom people with good ears and eyes showed "I see" expressions.

A rule that has been regarded as unlucky, taboo, and prohibited from entering the kiln house for thousands of years has once again been put on the table and will be judged again by the men who have the majority of the say in this world.

Liang Peiqiu stood under the dangerous wall again.
