But the bright moon shines on the ditch

After that, Liang Peiqiu waited for a few days with a rather uneasy mood, but she never came to investigate An Jiu. The whole town was calm, except for the sudden heavy rain that night, nothing happened again. Gradually, she felt relieved. Come down.

She also wondered why An Jiu let her go. Attacking a court official could be big or small. How could she characterize something that took less than one sentence? You can arrest someone anytime you want, even if you can't kill her because of Tao's needs, you can still torture her in various ways to calm her down, so why stop so easily?

Thinking again that Xu Zhiliu's death was caused by his own hands, maybe An Jiu was afraid that she would jump over the wall and expose all the bad things he had done, so he had no choice but to swallow that breath, right?

In this way, the little complex emotion she had towards An Jiu, whether it was sympathy or sadness, was completely gone.

Later, when she and Xu Zhiliu talked about Guanyin Porcelain, she knew that the Queen Mother's birthday was around Xiaoshu without waiting for Zhou Yuan to inquire about it.

It can be seen that Sun Min wanted to use Guanyin Porcelain to please the Queen Mother and regain the king's heart. He has not given up on returning to Beijing to join the cabinet, and still has an impatient pursuit of the supreme power. Moreover, once An Qian leaves, the eunuchs will be disheartened, and the situation in North Korea and China will be greatly improved.

If someone wins the emperor's heart and joins the cabinet first, then wouldn't all his years of planning be in vain?

To be honest, the right time and place that Sun Min relied on was nothing more than the endless struggle between civil servants and eunuchs. However, he stayed away from the court at the right time and concentrated on local government affairs. He submitted financial and tax reports that satisfied the emperor every year. In addition, Jingdezhen ceramics Improving political achievements, and in contrast, we have the so-called "Simplicity in the Emperor's Heart".

Once this prerequisite is broken, it will be difficult for him, an official who has been abroad for many years, to stretch his arms and stir up the water in the capital. There is no need to go into details about how important Guanyin porcelain is.

Now the task is assigned to Liang Peiqiu. If he fails to catch it, Xu Zhiliu will not doubt that Sun Min may kill someone in anger. Therefore, the top priority is to properly complete the Guanyin porcelain. Sun Min, like An Jiu, has to be constrained by the private kiln and dare not act rashly. , Liang Peiqiu's safety can be guaranteed.

"But in this case, wouldn't it be in vain to let him get it?"

Liang Peiqiu was somewhat angry and didn't want Sun Min to be well. On the one hand, this man was a corrupt official. He not only deducted imperial silver, swallowed up Wending kiln, but also killed Xu Zhiliu's father; on the other hand, through various signs, It shows that most of the ghosts lurking in Hutian Kiln also obey his orders.

This mole was not arranged by An Jiu, but he and An Jiu shared common interests in the appeal. Apart from Sun Min and his accomplices, there was no other possibility.

Moreover, he had the motive to use An Jiu to harm Xu Zhiliu.

Although these are still speculations, when thinking about the mole, Liang Peiqiu felt the horror of people's hearts more than once. How could it be him?

"Whether he will succeed or not depends on his life." An elusive smile appeared on Xu Zhiliu's lips, "Presenting porcelain to the Queen Mother is not only an opportunity for Sun Min, but also an opportunity for us."

Liang Peiqiu's eyes shone brightly when she thought of the big dragon vat that turned into characters when it encountered water, but the light dimmed in an instant.

Ever since that incident happened, the imperial kiln factory has taken extreme precautions against the ceramics fired by private kilns. Anyone who wants to pay tribute must first go through many checkpoints. Everything that encounters water or fire, and possible hidden mysteries, must be checked to ensure Only when everything is complete will it be sent to the capital.

Furthermore, it is inherently sinful to file a complaint beyond the superior level.

The most fundamental problem is that "Guanyin porcelain is no better than a large dragon vat, and what it can do is limited. Secondly, Guanyin means good luck and peace, and it was originally intended to wish the Queen Mother a thousand years. If its beautiful meaning is violated, it will inevitably be bad luck and may make the nobles unhappy." .”

Xu Zhiliu didn't know much about the Empress Dowager. Judging from just a few contacts, he found that the Empress Dowager was a clear-headed person, unlike Emperor Wanqing who was confused every day.

It is much harder to figure out the Queen Mother's preferences than to figure out Emperor Wanqing's preferences.

"This matter is not urgent. There is still time to think about it slowly."

Talking about the mole in Hutian Kiln again, Liang Peiqiu asked him: "What are your plans?"

Xu Zhiliu replied: "Now that Ju Jiu's whereabouts are unknown, if Sun Min has no other chess pieces available, he will use that person sooner or later, but...he is different from Ju Jiu."

The reason why Mei Zisu was able to drive a wedge between Sun Min and Ju Jiu was because Ju Jiu had enough capital to shake Sun Min, so Sun Min would take action. As for the mole, a murder tool that is not even as good as Wang Jin, it has no value. Death is not important to Sun Min.

Liang Peiqiu originally wanted to say something, but then she paused.

First of all, although the mole was the instigator of the whole thing, An Jiu would not have killed Xu Zhiliu and Xia Ying if he had not sent the news to An Jiu. However, the mole's words alone were not enough to convict him. The evidence he could hold was An Jiu, An Jiu will definitely not admit it. Even if he admits it, he will not use it to prove the fact that he committed murder.

Even An Jiu couldn't drag them down, let alone Sun Min who only gave orders behind his back. Maybe the other party would ask them for a false accusation.

"Then let him stay in Hutian Kiln? How about I tell Uncle Xu directly and expose him in public?" When he said this, Liang Peiqiu's voice was a little hesitant. After all, that person had followed Xu Zhiliu for many years and was the person he trusted the most.

When she first came to this inference, even she was unexpected and unbelievable.

In the big dyeing vat of Jingdezhen, those who betray their master never end well. This is the rule that everyone abides by.

Although industry and commerce ranked behind scholars and peasants and belonged to the lower class, they had their own standards and order. Precisely because the people in this industry are the lower class who rely on craftsmen, strict laws and regulations are needed to maintain corresponding public order. Even if you have great difficulties, even if you are forced, you would rather die than have the intention of harming others. This is the bottom line.

What's more, big kilns like Hutian Kiln have strict family rules and strict family laws. Once exposed, they will be beaten to death with sticks.

"If you're worried that you've mistakenly guessed him, let me be the bad guy... Don't worry, Uncle Xu doesn't need to come forward. I can handle it well. I won't unjustly accuse him, and I won't condone him in the slightest." She Xu Zhiliu has seen his current acting style and skills before. He is no longer the little tail who followed him cautiously back then.

With Zhou Qiguang's name, he was stared at by many pairs of eyes, and his identity was inconvenient. There was nothing to worry about leaving the matter to her, but, "It's not necessary."

Liang Peiqiu thought that he couldn't bear it, so he said, "The chess pieces are not distinguished by high or low, they are only divided into big and small uses. Let's use him one last time."

"What about after you use it?"

Xu Zhiliu put his arms around her shoulders, and a small brown mole under her eyes showed a bit of softness.

It's summer, and the square pond between the clouds and water is alive. The tip of the little lotus is exposed with a tender corner. Looking at it, it is full of vitality. A few impatient ones can't wait to open the stamens, and the yellow bud cores are blown by the wind. move.

He could finally fulfill his promise to her, and she finally waited for him to open his heart to her, which only took a few years in the blink of an eye. Things have changed and people have changed. When will it stop? They are all moving forward, their bodies are moving forward, and so are their hearts. Some things cannot be held on, and no matter how hard they try to guard them, they will be in vain. It is better to let them go.

Liang Peiqiu sighed in her calm grace.

Although there were things he hadn't told her, she could sense what was brewing beneath his seemingly calm exterior. He was weaving a net, and once the net was tightened, Sun Min might not be the only one caught, or An Jiu might not be the only one caught.

Her heart was like a bright yellow bud played with by the wind, causing uneasiness. She couldn't help but want to get closer and closer, so she nuzzled his neck.

He habitually lowered his head and caught the end of her raised eyes. Under the slightly higher eyebrows were two points of lingering beauty, which were burning and always made people confused and fascinated. Then he covered her eyes with a smile, which was moist and moist. The kisses fell like rain.

After being intimate for several days, I was no longer as flustered as I was after that night. When the morning light came through the window, she realized that the night before was not a dream. She got under the quilt for a long time and was too embarrassed to show her face. Xu Zhiliu coaxed her for a long time before she dared to look at him.

All the things that were covered by the hazy moonlight at night, those that were brave enough to be ambiguous, those that could not help but bite and scratch, were all exposed to the skylight, giving her an afterthought that was almost like a pilgrimage. She still couldn't help crying, because his face was completely different from Xu Zhiliu's but his eyes were exactly the same. He was the most gentle person to her in the world.

Now that she was close to him again, although she was still somewhat shy, she no longer cared much about it. The only thing she wanted to do was to cherish the moment, be with him as much as possible, and not worry about the so-called eternal things.

The two hugged each other for a while. Xu Zhiliu suddenly remembered something and asked her: "I heard someone said that you made Guanyin porcelain for the wife of a high-ranking official before?"

Liang Peiqiu was stunned and was not very willing to mention that past: "How come you know everything..."

Xu Zhiliu judged her attitude: "I can't know?"

"No, it's not." Liang Peiqiu scratched her head, her eyes evasive, "There's nothing to say, that Guanyin porcelain is very ordinary."

"How ordinary it is, tell me."

Liang Peiqiu blinked.

"You really want to hear it?"

"I can't listen?"

Why did you go back again? No matter how dull she was, Liang Peiqiu sensed his teasing. She glanced at him, and she was half angry and half embarrassed: "What on earth do you want to say?"

"It's nothing, I just accidentally heard a story at Mingquan Tea House. I don't know whether it is true or not. I want to confirm it with you."

She once thought that he had thousands of close friends, but he only loved the girls at home. He couldn't help but laugh it out loud, and told her not to believe in fabricated stories. If she had anything curious, just ask him. Only when it was her turn did she realize the extent of this request. Unreasonable, what a saint.

Believing in stories is caused by human nature. After all, rather than bravely asking questions, escaping can only deceive oneself. There are only two standards.

After thinking about it, I finally care.

She rested on his lap, he lowered his head, she raised her head, they were face to face, with nowhere to escape. Xu Zhiliu's fingers brushed her soft chin intentionally or unintentionally, and there was a smile on his face: "So you had a relationship before me?"

In the transitional chapter, Liu Liu is jealous, there won’t be too much emotional part, after all, the previous atmosphere has been rendered in place, only the final cut is missing.
