But the bright moon shines on the ditch

Sometimes, it’s not that you don’t report, it’s not that the time is not there, but that when the time comes, only a few people can see it.

There was no peace in Jingdezhen that night.

A moment ago, a group of people outside An Mansion dismounted in a hurry.

An Jiu was hit on the nose by the car curtain that was thrown over. He suffered a moment of pain, but he couldn't care about anything. He quickly caught up with the figure striding in front of him and explained: "Zheng Shenzhen, please calm down. The town is now under lockdown. I'm sorry for that." Even those who commit Tongtian's abilities will not be able to escape, so I will immediately arrange manpower and step up patrols..."

"Shut up! If you can't handle even the smallest thing, how can you make people believe it?" Zheng Zie interrupted him rudely, "You didn't report the news to me as soon as possible. Instead, you acted on your own and alerted the snake! An Jiu, you What are your intentions?"

Before half a stick of incense, he received news that someone had found traces of Ju Jiu in the south of the city. An Jiujiu rushed over first. He immediately had a premonition that something was not going to happen, and in the end, Ju Jiu escaped again.

In the past three days, several urgent letters came from Nanchang Mansion, each of which was a torture of his ability. He was full of anger and had nowhere to go, when An Jiu bumped into him.

People who temporarily pull into a boat cannot always be trusted. The meaning behind Zheng Jiu's words is very clear. If things don't work out, An Jiu must be the one causing trouble. After this warning, everyone around him, not to mention An Jiu, was too proud to speak out.

An Jiu clenched his fists and tightened his jaw. He always stood sideways with his head lowered and said not a word. After Zheng Zie finished scolding, his anger subsided a little. Seeing that he was still clinging to a piece of wood, he couldn't help but shouted: "Hurry up and do it!"

An Jiu said yes repeatedly.

While he was talking, he had already reached the front door. Just when An Jiu was about to say something, the concierge suddenly came up and reported: "Sir, the little god of Anqing Kiln is waiting for you in the study."

"What?" An Jiu was so dizzy after being scolded by Zheng Jiu that he didn't hear who it was. He instinctively yelled, "You bastard! How can you let an outsider in if the study is such a big place?"

Seeing Zheng Jie in front of him stop and look this way, Zhou Yuan, who was well versed in the situation, hurriedly added: "My lord, you have forgotten that Mr. Liang Xiaosheng said before that he would report on the progress of Guanyin Porcelain today, because Guanyin Porcelain is related to It's important. You specifically ordered me to take people directly to the study." Finally, he asked the concierge, "Did she bring Guanyin porcelain?"

The concierge was quite smart and immediately nodded in agreement. Liang Peiqiu had indeed brought Guanyin porcelain.

After Zhou Yuan's interruption, An Jiu came back to his senses. Knowing that he had almost revealed his secret, he took a breath and turned to Zheng Jie: "Zheng Shenzheng, I'm afraid I have to excuse you for a moment. The task of firing Guanyin porcelain was specially assigned by Lord Sun. I cannot afford to neglect it. Summer is about to begin. I……"

Zheng Zie waved his hand: "Go ahead and see me immediately after you finish."

An Jiu got it right and turned around and left without saying a word.

Zheng Zhe saw that he was in such a hurry that a flash of thought flashed across his face. When this scene fell into the eyes of Zhou Yuan who was watching, his heart was beating like a drum and he was trembling continuously.

An Jiu's study was the most secret place in the whole government. No one was allowed to enter unless he was summoned. An Jiu didn't know what kind of sweet words Liang Peiqiu used to coax people into leading him to the study.

Thinking like this, he almost ran. What Guanyin porcelain is, it's just a cover! She came in the middle of the night and was willing to take the risk to enter his study. He was a fool to believe that she was innocent and without any purpose.

Thinking of the things hidden in the study, he felt breathless for a moment. However, as the nine winding corridors played tricks on him, he got closer and closer to the study, and the feeling of suffocation gradually disappeared.

Liang Peiqiu was looking for something in the box when she heard footsteps coming from outside. She quickly straightened the documents on the desk and returned the opened drawer items to their original positions one by one. She didn't want to turn around, but the Guanyin porcelain blank at hand was taken away. It fell to the ground like this.

At this moment, the door opened.

An Jiu looked at her silently with a Yama face.

He seemed to be trying to see something from the face that was trying its best to hide the panic. Liang Peiqiu also saw through his intentions and tried hard to adjust her breathing to prevent the anger that was about to burst out from the ground and ruin the last card.

However, no matter how realistic you pretend to be, it is still just pretending. The restlessness she was roiling at the moment betrayed her in the end.

An Jiu's heart fell back, giving birth to a sense of peace that the dust had settled.

"Did you find what you were looking for?"

“It wasn’t there originally, but it turned out to be an unexpected surprise.”

"Oh?" An Jiu walked in casually and closed the door from the inside, "I didn't expect that I would have something to surprise you here."

Liang Peiqiu looked at his actions, and her heart sank to the bottom: "Why?"

Now that everything was broken and everything was clear, she didn't care anymore. She took out a jade button with green tassels from her sleeve. Her whole body was trembling, and she asked with a calmness beyond her expectation, "Why is this in your hand?" ?”

"You lost it, and someone happened to pick it up and give it to me. It's that simple."

Liang Peiqiu laughed at his hypocrisy: "How did you know it was me who threw it?"

"That's even simpler. I've seen a lot of good things when I was in the palace. The quality of this jade rabbit carving is of the highest quality. Take it to the jade shop and ask, who dares to lie to me? Who bought it? The shopkeeper knew everything about when I bought it, and even how much money I spent on it.”

Speaking of this, An Jiu looked at her from top to bottom, his eyes full of interest and ridicule, "When you encountered a mudslide earlier, I heard that he spent all his wealth to find famous doctors for you, and then killed the Qimen doctor in order to clear the mountain road. The miracle doctor came to Jingdezhen and used up all the useful favors he had saved in the Hutian Kiln in the past ten years. He is so poor and yet he is willing to be so generous to you. It is really a kind of love."

"Shut up, I won't allow you to talk about him!" Liang Peiqiu strode forward and shouted, "You don't deserve to talk about him."

"Really? Then don't you want to know why the object he gave you was lost and the other party didn't return it to you or him, but gave it to me?"

In her violent trembling silent resistance, An Jiu laughed loudly, "Because the other party sent not only the jade button, but also the draft of Baicai's reform and even a secret letter from Xia Ying. And this jade button was just for A piece of evidence for me to verify my identity. The other party just wanted to let me know that the person who spent a lot of money to buy this jade was Xu Zhiliu. He was also the person who made the jade buckle with his own hands. And he was teaming up with Xia Ying to trap me. !”

It was also at that time that he finally understood why Xu Zhiliu seemed to be planning for the Three Kilns and Nine Associations at every turn, and was always against the Anqing Kiln and Xia Ying. However, the New Deal was still implemented, the Anqing Kiln was still gaining momentum day by day, and everything was still not going well for him!

It turns out there is a mole around.

It turns out that on that night when "Killing Chickens to Frighten Monkeys" replaced "Killing Fish and Killing Households", the boy's spine was still filled with unyielding justice. It was just that he gained wisdom every time he learned. The accumulation of thick and thin hair will lead to death.

This is Xu Zhiliu.

He was finally able to understand what Yang Chenggong's compliments meant back then. Those scholars were full of literate rhetoric about the so-called "life is like mustard seeds, and the heart contains Xumi". Even after being guided by the famous prime minister and assistant in the inner library, he could only steal it. Two points are expressive, and the remaining eight points are profound, based on mere imagination.

Why? How can a common man be worthy of such words?

"I immediately reviewed the things I had entrusted him to do one by one. Unexpectedly, he really had a lot of handles. For example, that idiot Xu Daren wiped me out after a few ounces of cat peed. Such a serious concern, How can we stay any longer?"

As An Jiu said, he stepped forward step by step, forcing Liang Peiqiu to have no way to retreat, with her back leaning on the desk and her body tilted back.

He easily snatched the jade button from her hand.

"Guess what I did with this jade button later?"

Liang Peiqiu turned her head and gritted her teeth and said, "Everything is your own fault. If you weren't a murderer, how could you..."

"If I were serious about killing people, you would have died a thousand times over!" An Jiu interrupted severely, "It's all because of you, you self-esteemed untouchables who think I'm here!"

As he spoke, he loosened his fingers and took the jade button away. Liang Peiqiu hurriedly went to grab it, but she saw him feint a shot, and the green silk thread was still held in his released palm, leaving only the jade buckle dangling in the remaining distance between them.

"Aren't you curious? That night, when Xu Zhiliu lost to you in the Spring and Summer Bowl, and was in a daze because he could not face his own failure, I took this jade buckle and treated him as he was treated. What have you done?"

Liang Peiqiu's heart was suddenly pulled.

She seemed to have guessed the result, a storm quickly formed in her eyes, and her eyes turned red in an instant.

An Jiu looked at his masterpiece and told the established fact cruelly: "I pushed him into the furnace when he was not prepared. The last thing he could see was this jade button, and this jade button was exactly It was his birthday gift to you. He probably never thought that you would be the one who killed him in the end, right?

He spoke very slowly, each word passing through Liang Peiqiu's internal organs.

"You think, with such pain and hatred, how should he die? I'm afraid he won't be able to rest in peace even in the underworld, right?" Liang Peiqiu looked at him unblinkingly, as if all the bones in her body were broken.

An Jiu loved her as confused and broken at this moment, just like himself when he learned of the betrayal. At that moment, he decided that in this life, all the people who betrayed him would be broken into pieces, dead and alive. In hatred.

"It was Liang Peiqiu who killed Xu Zhiliu."

This is not a story, this is the truth, the naked truth! An Jiu showed his sharp teeth and smiled crazily, almost crazy, "It was Liang Peiqiu who killed Xu Zhiliu! Who dares to believe it? Who can not believe it? He was killed by the hands of someone he cherished so much that he couldn't bear to touch or touch him. , I don’t know what it feels like... I think he will not die well if he dies!"

Liang Peiqiu's liver and gallbladder were split, and she wanted to retreat, but there was no way to retreat. A mouthful of black blood spurted out immediately.

"You said, you killed him with this jade buckle? Did you make him think... that I killed him?" It turned out that this was the secret that she could not figure out.

It turns out that all his "whys" were because she killed him. After spending many years of savings to save her, after her self-righteous questioning and slander, after leaving her with the only cloud and water that could protect him from wind and rain, he insisted on freedom and love in the gloomy rain for more than ten years. After giving everything to her, she killed him. How desperate must he have been at that time?

"How could this be? Why did she kill me? Why? Why!" He must have the same reasons as her, but there was a current situation between them, and the situation at that time was like mountains and seas, and mountains and seas cannot be leveled.

Think about what happened after his death. The Hutian kiln was suppressed, Xu Zhong was imprisoned, Wang Yu was imprisoned, she monopolized the Anqing kiln, expelled Wang Yunxian, and was inseparable from the eunuchs. She even went to Beijing to receive rewards for him, taking away the achievements that originally belonged to him. Take it all for yourself...

Liang Peiqiu's heart was torn out and her lungs were cracked. She cried hoarsely due to fear, regret, and heartbreak. As she cried, she suddenly started laughing, and the louder she laughed.

Under An Jiu's confused gaze, she picked up the inkstone behind her and hit him on the head with all her strength.

"An Jiu, go to hell!"

/

That night, Zheng Jue was not the only one who was also angry because Ju Jiu escaped again.

In order to force Ju Jiu to be abandoned by Sun Min and produce evidence to protect himself, Wu Yin has spent too much time and energy on the whole process. If the enemy finally gets Ju Jiu first, I am afraid he will live in a nightmare for the rest of his life. Pass.

"In my judgment, he should have left Jingdezhen through the river." Such a large search and search team failed to find the person unless he escaped.

It was also tonight that Wu Yin accidentally heard this complaint from his subordinates, and Wu Yin suddenly remembered that there is a natural escape channel in Jingdezhen, which is Changjiang. People are looking for Wang Yunxian everywhere these days, and Jiang Shang's focus has been diverted. Now think about it, with Jujiu's scheming, isn't Wang Yunxian the best cover?

As the so-called cunning rabbit has three caves, it is not surprising that Ju Jiu has a backup plan on the river.

"I'm going to go out of town and chase him."

Xu Zhiliu did not deny the possibility, but there were many towns in Fuliang County alone, and there were many prefectures beyond Fuliang. Where should I pursue this without a clue?

Wu Yin shrugged indifferently: "It's better to give it a try than wait here."

After he finished speaking, he patted the horse's butt, and when the horse was walking forward, he jumped up onto the horse's back. Looking down from a high place, Xu Zhiliu was even clearer than before. Wu Yin's throat was slightly choked, "I received a letter from Beijing today. His Majesty has agreed to transfer me to guard the border. The transfer will arrive soon. This may be my departure." The last thing we can do before Jingdezhen."

For myself and for him.

Wu Yin felt ashamed for escaping from the battle, but he had tried his best. Just like Wu Fangyuan said, if the worst happened, at least he should consider an escape route for Wu Jia and A Niang.

"sorry, I……"

"Brother Wu, I am the one who should be sorry. I know that you are determined to serve the country. A man does what he does and what he does not do. People here are busy with things and it is not suitable for you. You have done a good job."

Wu Yin laughed: "You don't want to keep me?"

Xu Zhiliu was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "Leave the rest to me, don't worry, I will try my best to protect the Wu family no matter what..."

"Stop it, there is no need to talk about this between you and me." Just as he had never thought of retaining him, he also knew where he wanted to go.

Although Wu Yin was somewhat disappointed, and even felt decadent and frustrated by this endless run, if Xu Zhiliu hadn't insisted on calling people back to look for Wang Yunxian, they might have caught Ju Jiu long ago. Even if not, at least I can have a direction on my way out of the city, which is better than running around like a headless fly.

For such an old cunning guy, there is no hope left in the world.

However, it is useless to say anything now.

Wu Yin took out a piece of letter from his arms and handed it to Xu Zhiliu: "Maybe before Wang Yunxian's accident, she came to see you. I think she must have something very important, right? Otherwise, with so many pairs of eyes staring at you, it would be difficult to How much risk did you take to dare..."

Xu Zhiliu took the letter and felt it was hot to his hands.

"Brother Wu."

"Go ahead, no need to say more!"

Wu Yin clamped the horse's belly and looked back for the last time. This was the small town in Jiangyou that he had been inspecting for three years. It was a big place, but the darkness of Jiangxi and even the world was concentrated.

The fight for civil rights never ends.

"Xu Zhiliu, I know that you are a person who values ​​love and justice. When I was ordered to punish you, I showed mercy with that sword. Just because you, a scholar, dared to go beyond the level and sue to eradicate the traitor. As long as the will is not dead, the traitor will be killed. It will be eliminated, I am waiting for that day.”

As he spoke, he shouted to the horse to run forward without looking back.

In the passage, a loud shout came from afar, "If the city is destroyed, there will only be death, so there is nothing to be afraid of!"

As Xu Zhiliu read these words, he felt a kind of sadness and pride that he had never experienced before. At this point, he really had nothing and everyone left him.

But when he opened the letter and saw the familiar eight characters above, something pierced his heart.

He didn't have time to get on the carriage, so Shan held the letter in his hand and ran towards Anqing Kiln.

In the dark night, he walked faster and faster, his chest heaving violently, the wind filling his throat and intestines, stirring the smell of rust, and hissing pain. But he couldn't think of anything, his heart was completely occupied by her boldness, mixed with unspeakable sadness and fear.

After finally arriving at Anqing Kiln, the concierge said that my boss had gone to Mr. An's house.

Why did she go to see An Jiu in the middle of the night?

"Does she have any other explanations?"

The concierge shook his head.

Perhaps Wu Yin's departure exaggerated the melancholy of the mountains and rivers being far away, a farewell or an eternal farewell. Tonight, Xu Zhiliu was easily attacked and knocked down amidst the exhaustion of running around for days.

Fragility traveled up through his limbs and bones, depriving him of his restraint and perseverance. Suddenly, he felt an unspeakable sadness again.

They always seem to be in the midst of different things but the same mistakes. It seems that at every moment, they are the only ones left in the world, and the only ones accompanying them are the lonely shadows at their feet.

Rather than looking at each other coldly and never getting to know each other again across the mountains and rivers, maybe it would be better to die? At least the thoughts have a source.

But why doesn't he die? Why not just let him die! Why does God treat them like this? Why should this heavy and filthy world be pressed on their backs?

Why let them meet and then separate?

He wanted to ask God loudly, when would he let him go? I want to ask the ground loudly, how do you want him to go down?

The heavy rain came suddenly, and the only glimmer of light on the road ahead eventually disappeared. He was lost and lost his direction. He just ran like this on the deserted street, fell and got up, got up and fell again. , it seems that as long as we keep walking, we can drive away the coldness of the long night and the heavy fog that has not gone away for years.

Unknowingly, he walked among the clouds and water.

The door of Yunshuijian, which was originally locked, was opened for some reason. In an instant, those eight words flashed through his mind again - fishes playing with lotus leaves in the water.
