But the bright moon shines on the ditch

The night before he followed Sun Min on patrol around Fuliang, Xu Zhiliu mobilized a group of secret guards to leave the city overnight.

This operation was extremely covert, and those who followed orders were all masters selected by Wu Fangyuan himself. However, before they left Fuliang territory, they were surrounded.

At dawn the next day, because the news was blocked, Xu Zhiliu and Sun Min, who knew nothing about it, drove the same carriage and slowly left Jingdezhen.

An Jiu was now a down-and-out phoenix, worse than a chicken. He went back with Yang Chenggong after seeing them off. He wanted to check his voice on the way, but he didn't want Yang Chenggong to just pretend to be deaf and mute and completely ignore him.

He expected that this must be the trick Zhou Qiguang taught Yang Chenggong. Yang Chenggong has a soft nature. Whenever he fights head-on, he will always be at a disadvantage. The best way is to pretend that he is invisible.

Not only was he angry, but he also felt slighted by others. This feeling became more and more intense with An Qian's downfall. Occasionally when he walked on the road and saw people pointing fingers at him, he could always think of those people hiding in the dark. The pleasure of mocking him and eagerly spitting on him. But when he turned around, those people acted more cowardly than anyone else, leaving him unable to vent his anger. He could only keep it in his chest over time, gradually becoming a heart problem.

Is there still little blood on his hands? Have those people ever truly obeyed him? One person dies, and there are thousands more. He often asked Zhou Yuan, is this the conflict between power and prestige? It is always difficult for a person to have both.

Zhou Yuan was about to speak but stopped, only then did he realize that this was not the case.

In ancient times, there were many famous ministers, generals and ministers who not only held high positions, but also gained great reputations through the ages. When it was his turn, the mistake was that he was obviously a eunuch, but he still wanted to become a dragon. He was not justified in his reputation, and he didn't study much.

He doesn't understand how to conquer people's hearts, just as he doesn't understand the moments when he has felt lonely again and again.

After receiving a cold punch from Yang Chenggong, he was so aggrieved that he wandered around the street for several times, and finally went to Anqing Kiln.

Strange to say, the external regimes were changing and everything was changing rapidly. She was content in her small world and seemed to be enjoying herself without being affected by the outside world at all.

In the afternoon, the drying racks of the green house are filled with plain embryos, some are semi-dry or wet, some are square, some are oddly shaped, just soaked in sunlight and quietly born into the world.

Thousands of years later, they have long been turned into a pile of bones and no one cares about them. However, those despicable things made of soil and mineral materials may still be circulated in the world, from the Central Plains to foreign countries, from land to sea, and trampled by thousands of people to thousands of people. Above people. Who knows? Can he survive a piece of porcelain in this life?

An Jiu couldn't explain his mood at that time. The hot summer, the sticky sweat, the chaotic world, everything around him made him feel disturbed and restless, and he couldn't get excited. But when he walked to the green house, he felt calm , the body is cold.

Standing under the eaves and feeling the cool breeze blowing in my face, I actually feel that the years are peaceful, fame, fortune and wealth are like floating clouds, and the unparalleled scenery of being a master does not seem so important.

It's better to hold on to what you can have than to hold on to what is futile, isn't it? He looked at Liang Peiqiu's waist that was blocked and tight. The flawless white jade skin under the plain brocade skirt was shining. The down on her face was clearly visible under the sun. It was so soft that it made people's hearts itch unbearably. .

And what's underneath the skin? Will it make people appreciate the taste of the marrow and make them want to stop eating it?

At that moment, he felt that the sun was dazzling again, so he closed his eyes tightly, convinced himself, and walked towards her with determination.

As he got closer, the movement in his chest still hadn't calmed down, and even tended to jump more and more violently. He felt like he was about to lose control. The complex mixture of sweet and sour was both strange and exciting.

Reason told him that he couldn't, but his body and soul were not at the mercy of others. This was an extremely dangerous signal for someone who was desperately trying to survive. He knew very well that he was standing on the edge of a cliff, and perhaps his kick had already been He stepped out because he found that wanting to get close to her was more of a human instinct.

Waves of discouragement overwhelmed him, and he was an incomplete man.

In that imperial city, perhaps because of loneliness, because they could not see a way out, or because of a desire for love that could not be castrated, eunuchs often looked for food. But outside the imperial city, how could you dare to have such delusions?

How could a woman from an ordinary family be willing to degenerate and commit herself to a eunuch with no sense of self? Not to mention her, she is already engaged.

Even if it doesn't, it's impossible.

He killed Xu Zhiliu. She hated him to the core and wished she could cut him into pieces. He could only stay in her heart through that hatred.

So he said: "Guanyin porcelain was presented to the Ministry of Rites in the name of the state and county. Not only was Sun Min's future at stake, but the lives of Zhou Qiguang and Yang Chenggong were also at stake." As for himself, it didn't matter whether he said it or not. She didn't care at all. Will care.

"Taking someone else's identity and pretending to be an official of the imperial court is a serious crime of beheading. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a serious raid on the house...Sun Min doesn't know about this yet. If you are obedient and finish the Guanyin porcelain, I can pretend that you don't know."

In fact, the short guard sent to the capital failed to find out Zhou Qiguang's true identity. This was because he didn't reveal much of anything during his last investigation in the capital, which attracted Wu Fangyuan's attention, and all relevant clues were cut off.

The only news the guard brought was that the other party was heading straight for Jingdezhen.

Based on his observations over the past few days, Anjiu also discovered that Zhou Qiguang was not like a new official who had just entered Jingdezhen. Even Xia Ying, who had been personally involved in everything at the time, had no influence on Jingdezhen's new policies, folk customs, and even the operating mechanism of the porcelain and kiln industry. Got it, it’s still a long way off.

He could see that Zhou Qiguang had a deep bond with Jingdezhen, and this bond was reflected in the way he looked at everyone, which was deep, complex, forbearing and reserved.

This is not the look a stranger should have.

Although he didn't know who the person wearing Zhou Qiguang's skin was, he had a vague guess in his heart. He had denied that guess more than once, but when things came to pass, only that guess met all the conditions.

"If this matter is revealed, he will have no chance of survival... How many times can a person die? Liang Peiqiu, think about it carefully, is that the result you want to see?"

He held his nerve and looked intently, not missing any subtle expression on Liang Peiqiu's face, trying to see even a hint of fear or worry, but he miscalculated.

She got off the wheelbarrow and glanced at him lightly as if it was nothing to her.

"Are you still in the mood to meddle in other people's business? I heard that your godfather is on his way back home. Why don't you think about your own retreat first?"

An Jiu was stunned.

Zhou Yuan had also reminded him of this matter. Obviously, he had not taken the initiative to declare war, and he had no intention of colluding with Sun Min. But the matter had come to this, and once An Qian fell, the eunuch party would inevitably go through a sweep. Even if he was unwilling, he had to think about the future - leaving Jingdezhen while Zhou Qiguang and Sun Min were out of town for a tour was the best choice.

Youdao is to leave Qingshan without worrying about having no firewood. After dormant, look for opportunities again. With Emperor Wanqing's deep love for his great companion, the most beloved Xiaojiu may not be able to replace his godfather and return to the Hall of Supreme Harmony. .

He didn't expect that Liang Peiqiu and Zhou Yuan would want to go together.

"Do you know...if I leave here, you will never have the chance to kill me in the future?"

Liang Peiqiu kept moving, holding the plain tire on the drying rack, looking up at the sky, and then returned to the wheel. The master who was sitting next to her came over to talk to her, and occasionally the housekeeper took the roster and asked her for her opinion. She always lowered her eyebrows and smiled on her lips, but never paid attention to him again.

It wasn't until An Jiu left in anger that she raised her head and glanced at the figure behind her.

Death by whose hands is not death? After leaving Jingdezhen, there were many people who wanted to kill him, so why should she do it herself. She didn't know what kind of answer he wanted, and she couldn't give him any answer he wanted.

In the evening, under the cover of darkness, she and Wang Yunxian sneaked into the Crane Pavilion according to the old method. This was their third night staying in the Crane Pavilion.

Now everyone in Jingjing De Town knows that Wang Yunxian jumped off the cliff that day because he was bewitched by Ju Jiu. Ju Jiu promised to cede the Sanjiafu Bank to him, but the person disappeared before the cash was fulfilled.

He made a fuss at the door of the Huibang Renqianzhuang in anger, and swore an oath to Wang Yu's life-long reputation, expressing his sincerity every word.

If there were still people who thought he was being unreasonable at the beginning, they would know that Wang Yunxian was not talking nonsense when he saw the attitude of the Huibang people who had swallowed a dead fly. Why don't you come out and confront Wang Yunxian?

This was not the first day that the Duchang gang members were dissatisfied with the Huibang gang's monopoly on banks. This time, Wang Yunxian was used as the leader, and there were countless people behind the scenes, causing the Huibang gang to close their doors and not dare to see anyone.

In this way, the more violent the commotion outside, the "safer" Crane Hall will be.

When the two of them were squatting on the rockery outside Zangshan Pavilion, the music and singing in the building gradually stopped. After another two hours, the ferocious dog watching the door couldn't help but fell asleep, and there was still no movement inside.

It was not a problem to wait like this, so Liang Peiqiu asked Wang Yunxian to go back and rest first, and the two of them took turns, which was better than breaking the body.

While Wang Yunxian yawned, he took out the thin pick he had prepared and picked his eyelids. He then applied cooling oil to his nose, shook his head and said, "I'm not sleepy."

The cooked duck just flew away, and he almost became Ju Jiu's scapegoat. How can you swallow this? What is sleepiness? It does not exist.

Liang Peiqiu was amused by his flowing movements and knew that he would not be able to sleep well after returning home, so she stopped forcing him and let him take a nap against the rockery. But he moved his steps and nudged her, with curiosity in his eyes: "Can you really make it today?"

Liang Peiqiu said conservatively: "I can't tell."

Wang Yunxian raised his eyebrows: "Didn't the dog officer say that there will be some movement in three to five days? I'm already making such a big fuss!" Thinking of this, he became angry, "How could he leave such a dangerous matter to you? I can't handle it myself." That’s good, just pat your butt and leave!”

Liang Peiqiu asked him to keep his voice down, and then explained: "If he doesn't leave, which thief will dare to come?"

"What do you mean? Isn't it because a high-ranking official from Jiangxi Province is here to inspect, and he's just rushing to please you?"

"That's what the outside world says?" "No! I heard that the high official has a good background. The common people here have never seen any high official. They all went to see it that day. Oh, Jingde Street was completely cleared. They could only take a look at it from a distance in the alleyway. Four pure-blooded BMWs that were as good as Taoxue pulled a large cart, and there were hundreds of personal guards at the front and rear."

Wang Yunxian snorted, "The time you went to Beijing, at the feet of the emperor, I didn't see any high-ranking official going out with so much style, and that...that prince was still a boy from the county prince, and the battles were not so exaggerated! "

Wang Yunxian didn't understand politics. Just looking at the factions, he knew that the high official was not easy to mess with.

Fuliang County is under the jurisdiction of Raozhou Prefecture. There are several counties separated between Raozhou Prefecture and Nanchang Prefecture. The Yamen of the Chief Envoy is located in Nanchang. The mountains are high and the rivers are far away. They don't know how "big" this official is. It's normal, and besides, Sun Min went out of his way and had all the troops, just to intimidate Xu Zhiliu.

However, the Jingdezhen temple was small and could not accommodate so many people. With Sun Min's departure, most of the Sun family troops temporarily went to the Fuliang County government office dozens of miles away for resettlement. In this way, once something happens, Sun Min can easily mobilize him.

"How could the provincial officials suddenly come here to inspect the case? No way..." Wang Yunxian guessed Liang Peiqiu's expression, boldly assumed, and carefully verified, "Isn't it that dog official who caused trouble?"

Just as Liang Peiqiu was about to say something, Wang Yunxian said, "You promised me that if I ask, you won't hide it from me." Although he might not understand, he at least had to know whether the environment she was in was dangerous.

"In the days after I fell into the river and came back, you were always lost in thought from time to time, explaining some things that seemed like funeral arrangements. Every time I heard it, my heart twitched, for fear that if I asked more questions, you would collapse. Looking at you these days Well, I'm in a good mood, and I seem to have gained some weight, so I dare to ask..."

Wang Yunxian was a little suspicious when it came to this. Liang Peiqiu's face looked so good recently, as if she had taken tonic, and her face was especially red.

Liang Peiqiu couldn't help but smile when she saw that in his round dog eyes, in addition to worry, there was also curiosity and a desire for knowledge.

"Then you must be mentally prepared."

"Okay." Wang Yunxian closed his knees and sat upright.

"You guessed it right, Sun Min is indeed here for Mr. Zhou."

"Wait a minute, why is that Sun Min and this is Mr. Zhou? Are you too polite to the dog officer?"

"..."

In fact, Xu Zhiliu had long expected this day.

To lure a snake out of its hole, you must first lower its alertness. The bright sunshine after the storm will certainly make the snakes ready to move, but this alone is not enough, unless Wang Yunxian is raising the banner outside, diverting the attention of the people and the spearhead between the government and the people to the bank, in order to distract some people around Heguan inspections to give snakes a chance to come out of their holes. In addition, the snake's predator is not in town, so the danger when the snake comes out will be greatly reduced.

But if the hunter leaves on his own, there is no guarantee that the snake will not suspect that this is a trap, so the hunter must create a reason to have to leave town.

So Xu Zhiliu wrote a letter to Raozhou Prefecture in advance, pointing out the existence of shady underground bank transactions in Jingdezhen, and requesting the state government to send more troops to support the investigation. Raozhou Prefecture is under the jurisdiction of the Chief Envoy Division, and the mobilization of relevant troops cannot escape Sun Min's eyes.

This was a critical period for Sun Min's political plan, and he could not withstand any disturbance. In order to prevent Xu Zhiliu from causing trouble and causing trouble in other state capitals, Sun Min had to come to Jingdezhen in person.

He thought that tying Xu Zhiliu or An Jiu, Yang Chenggong and others into the same boat would suppress their arrogance, and forcing Xu Zhiliu to patrol Fuliang with him would allow him to have a panoramic view of his every move. For example, the words Xu Zhiliu sent out overnight He can control the movement of people and horses immediately and eradicate them. However, darkness under the lamp often occurs when a person is most satisfied with his ambition.

Otherwise, how can we lure the snake out of its hole without making enemies who are also predators suspicious.

"So he deliberately attracted the high-ranking officials from the province? He is not afraid that the high-ranking officials will give him directly..." Wang Yunxian made a gesture of wiping his neck.

Liang Peiqiu shook his head: "If Sun Min dared to take action, he would have done it long ago."

Xu Zhiliu is under the special care of the Queen Mother now, and is different from a pure minister like Xia Ying. Sun Min wants to use his birthday to please the Queen Mother and save himself. At this time, he will never be stupid enough to get into trouble with the Queen Mother.

"Besides, many things cannot be done across states and counties. Only when we are face to face can we have the opportunity."

He used the bank to make retreat into advancement, and asked Sun Min to leave Jingdezhen with him. The door was open, and Ju Jiu would be a fool not to come. And in this way, Sun Min was also under Xu Zhiliu's nose.

It’s hard to say who controls whom and who is superior.

Wang Yunxian has always been single-minded in thinking. He never thought that one thing could be done over and over again with so many tricks. He was speechless: "This is an official. He has so many tricks." He looked at Liang Peiqiu again, looking thoughtful. The look of thinking.

Liang Peiqiu laughed at his pretense: "When will you be able to hide things? Tell me, what do you want to ask?"

"You and that dog officer...you...you are so quick to...you are not interested in Xu..." Wang Yunxian didn't know what to say, and scratched his head several times. It was really hard to understand why he had moved on and had a different relationship. ?

Could it be that the dog officer gave her the ecstasy soup?

"You said you were willing to gamble once, but I think you gambled more than once. Is that dog official really trustworthy? Don't be stupid and get deceived. Officials are all very bad."

His words were somewhat tactful after all. Liang Peiqiu understood, pursed her lips and smiled: "He is."

"What is it?"

"It's him."

"Who?"

"He is Xu Zhiliu!"

"...!"

Before Wang Yunxian cursed his mother, Liang Peiqiu quickly covered his mouth with her eyes and hands, but she still couldn't stop him from jumping. Her head hit the rockery, and the hissing pain was suppressed. It turned a thousand times in her chest, and finally she gushed out a pool of water. .

It turns out that this is why she asked him to be mentally prepared!

She can really keep such a big secret!

"He's not dead, he's actually not dead, he, he, he...fuck." Wang Yunxian almost cried with joy, "He is so lucky."

Liang Peiqiu nodded and said: "He has a great destiny and will definitely live a long life."

Wang Yunxian couldn't see her like this, and took a sip of disgust, and then said: "You are the same, we are all the same, we all need to be well." When she didn't answer, he shook her shoulders persistently, "Promise me, okay?"

"it is good."

She knew that Xu Zhiliu would try his best to delay the time when she and Sun Min were out of the city so that she could successfully catch the snake. When they made this decision, they made no promises to each other, and they were no longer as hesitant and sloppy as before.

They lost their youthful youth, stood firm in the tribulations, and while waving flags and shouting for the moon that day, they also learned to enjoy suffering for love.

No one has time to distinguish the outcome of life or death. There is only one belief or consensus in their hearts - he lives, she lives, she dies, he dies.

They had no time to breathe, a new round of storm had begun.

As dawn approached that night, Wang Yunxian fell asleep in a daze. The sound of roosters crowing could be heard in the distance, and a pale white appeared in the gray-blue sky. Liang Peiqiu rubbed her eyes, thinking that she was going to run away again tonight, when suddenly a sneaky figure flashed in front of her eyes.

She pinched Wang Yunxian's arm hard. Wang Yunxian stopped shouting in pain. There was shit in the corners of his eyes, so he covered his mouth and laughed wildly.

They were actually able to defend it, and the person named Xu was a bit clever!

He wanted to follow, but was stopped by Liang Peiqiu. She told him with her eyes that it was just a bait used by the snake to test the trap and was not the real owner, so she waited for another two days. When the familiar figure appeared again, Wang Yunxian was overjoyed and used all her strength to suck the person directly. Fainted to the ground.

As for what happened next, Wang Yunxian was in a daze. When I pounced on him, I was so excited that I didn't pay attention to the defense of men and women. I had a hard time trying to carry him away.

With just this breath of thinking, a dark shadow suddenly appeared, holding the person in his arms like a chicken, and disappeared in a few seconds. Wang Yunxian was dumbfounded on the spot, speechless, unable to utter a single curse word.

Fortunately, it was the person Xu Zhiliu left to Liang Peiqiu.

Wang Yunxian almost fell ill from fright. Afterward, he touched the empty space on his chest and felt a mixed feeling. Even if he was beaten to death, he would never have thought that the person who came back with a different appearance would actually be more capable than before, and he could be compared to him without having to show up in person.

Alas, how can one be bright when one is born with beauty!

Unzen, let’s just say, don’t you think too highly of yourself? Haha

In this chapter, three men (although Liu does not appear, but his presence is very strong) perform a big show one by one.
