But the bright moon shines on the ditch

Chapter 28

In the middle of the night last night, Wang Yu suddenly had an evil wind entering his body, and he couldn't cough.Liang Peiqiu went to invite the doctor overnight, and couldn't close his eyes after tossing all night.

In the morning, Wang Yu's cold and fever subsided a little, and her whole body no longer felt cold or frightened. After taking the decoction and falling asleep, Liang Peiqiu went back to Xiaoqingyuan and changed into clean clothes. Served porridge and two side dishes and sent them to the ancestral hall.

I thought Wang Yunxian knelt for a long time, his knees were about numb, and he had to ask the doctor for a hot compress medicine bag, who would have thought that when the door was opened, he would be sleeping soundly inside.

Hearing the sound of footsteps in a daze, as if dissatisfied with being woken up, Wang Yunxian frowned and smacked his mouth, realizing something later, a carp sat up straight.

After seeing that the person in front of him was Liang Peiqiu, his body softened and then collapsed.

"What time is it? Why are you here?" He scratched his dizzy head, covered his mouth and yawned.

Liang Peiqiu saw that his clothes were messy, his hair was in a loose bun, his outer robe was rumpled under the blanket, a strand of hair was still hanging from the corner of his mouth, and his eyes were stained with eye feces.

"Master was angry in the middle of the night yesterday before he fell asleep. You first drink some porridge to fill your stomach, and you won't be able to eat when Master wakes up." She didn't say that Wang Yu was ill. She was afraid that the boy would blame himself, so she fell asleep when she turned around. Not fragrant anymore.

Wang Yunxian didn't think much in his single-minded head, what Liang Peiqiu said was what, he glanced at the clear porridge in the basket, and the boss muttered reluctantly.

"I've been hungry all night, so you give me this?"

Liang Peiqiu was angry: "Then what do you want to eat?"

He was still thinking about it seriously: "At this time, it would be great to have a fresh, warm, soft and delicious pig's trotter. The skin is crispy and soft, and the gravy is so fragrant and oily. It is stewed until it is very delicious. You don’t need to chew it, it will melt with your tongue, it’s really delicious.”

Liang Peiqiu looked at him so beautiful that he was drooling, and put the side dish heavily in front of him: "Wake up, the scars are healed and the pain is forgotten, and the teeth that have finally grown, don't want them anymore?"

"It was an accident last time! Besides, it was the pig's trotter from your hometown that was not stewed enough to hurt me. If I want to eat it, I will not eat the pig's trotter from your hometown!"

"It doesn't matter where the pig's trotters come from, there are none now, you can eat it or not."

Seeing that Liang Peiqiu's attitude was not good, Wang Yunxian took a careful look at her. Seeing that her eyes were blue, her expression was tired, and her lips were slightly chapped, she immediately put her knees together, put away her young master's airs, and started drinking the porridge.

Halfway through drinking, pass the bowl over.

Liang Peiqiu didn't dislike it either, so he ate the remaining half bowl of porridge to warm his stomach.

"Yesterday, it was thanks to someone's book boy, but then again, why is he so coincidentally in the county government office?"

Wang Yunxian blinked his big eyes and scanned Liang Peiqiu's body curiously.

Seeing that she didn't speak, he recalled it by himself, and the corner of his mouth twitched: "After I ran away, did you ask someone surnamed Xu for help?"

"No."

For some reason, she didn't want to talk about Xu Zhiliu in detail with Wang Yunxian, she just said, "This matter is a bit complicated, I will talk to you in detail another day."

Wang Yunxian knew that he was not around these days, and the relationship between her and Xu Zhiliu had grown rapidly, and the two now had a secret, and they wanted to keep it from him.

He was bubbling with sourness, and looked at Liang Peiqiu with his arms crossed: "Be honest, are you behind my back..."

"You stop."

Liang Peiqiu put down the bowl, put the side dishes back into the basket one by one, and blocked the person back without giving him a look.

Wang Yunxian felt aggrieved, but the previous one did something wrong, and finally reconciled with her, who dared not speak out, snorted heavily, and turned his head away.

Liang Peiqiu remembered the thrilling scene yesterday.

When Shi Nian rushed into the alley, she really thought that they would have nowhere to go and be captured by Zhang Wensi's men, but after waiting for a long while, there was no trace behind them.

Taking a closer look, the people from the county government were blocked at the entrance of the alley by the inspection department.

It must have been arranged by Xu Zhiliu in advance.

He and Wu Yin are friends with each other on purpose, and appreciate each other secretly, so it's not surprising that they got together.

I just don't know, how did he hold back Zhang Wensi and buy the time for her?Did Zhang Wensi suspect him?
Just as he was thinking, a burst of noise poured into the yard.

As soon as Liang Peiqiu got up, the chief steward next to Wang Yu came to report four or six times, saying that the county government had come to search for important criminals.

Wang Yunxian trembled and nearly knocked his head, hurriedly hid behind Liang Peiqiu, and grabbed her sleeve tightly: "Pei, Peiqiu, what's going on? Are you here to catch us? Did we reveal our secrets? Or is Wanniang dead? ? No, no way..."

"You calm down first."

Liang Peiqiu patted his hand, doubts flashed in his eyes, and he said immediately, "If you are really arrested, you will kill him. Don't let go, just admit that I visited Mr. Zhang at the county government last night, and I haven't seen Mr. Zhang for a long time." I came back first when I showed up, and I don’t know anything else.”

"how about you?"

"I have never been to the county government. They have no evidence. How can they take me casually?"

Wang Yunxian saw that she was still calm and breezy at this time, and even had a slight smile on her mouth. While he felt that she was a little strange, his uneasiness was relieved, and his heart was slightly relieved.

Liang Peiqiu didn't know what happened after they left, why Zhang Wensi realized something was wrong so quickly, and sent people to chase them.I don't know what is going on with Wanniang now, but since Wanniang is a member of the Southern Barbarians, she must have colluded with Zhang Wensi. This matter is related to the riots in the south. They are ordinary people and must not intervene.

Otherwise, Wang Yunxian may be accused of stealing treasures and selling them for helping the rebels. At that time, he will not be cleared if he really jumps into the Yellow River.

She went through many clues related to this matter in a short period of time. Even she herself did not expect that one day she would be able to stand in front of Wang Yunxian.

The noise outside was getting closer and closer, and just as she was about to hide Wang Yunxian, another servant ran over hurriedly.

Liang Peiqiu looked out, and saw a group of people dressed in red and black official uniforms approaching menacingly.

She immediately pushed Wang Yunxian inside, went forward, and blocked the entrance of the ancestral hall.

"My lord, please stop. The ancestral hall of my Anqing kiln is in front of me. Outsiders are not allowed to trespass. Since my lord is here on official business, do you have any search documents?"

The other party obviously came prepared, and immediately showed the arrest document that had been stamped with the official seal of the county magistrate, only gave Liang Peiqiu a quick glance, and then took it back.

Liang Peiqiu wanted to ask again, but the other party stopped her on the grounds that the important case needs to be kept secret.

Liang Peiqiu was not timid, and met the fierce eyes of the leader: "My lord, my Anqing kiln is one of the best kilns in Jingdezhen. Today, my lord brought a large number of people in to search. If you can't explain the reason clearly, it may cause the kiln workers to panic." Being flustered will also damage the reputation of my Anqing Kiln. Your Excellency should know that Anqing Kiln is appointed by the official kiln, and it is an indispensable part of the cooperation with the Royal Kiln Factory for Shanggong Imperial Porcelain every year, right?"

"Are you scaring me?"

"The grassroots dare not, but if the adults want to search the ancestral hall of my family, at least tell the grassroots who to search? We can cooperate with the adults."

"Bah, Shengdou Xiaomin, who is qualified to ask me a question, get out of here!"

The chief official immediately kicked Liang Peiqiu's lower abdomen, and a sword scabbard flew across the sky, hitting his calf hard.

A scream pierced the sky, and the opponent retracted his feet.

This official was brought by Zhang Wensi from the government office. He has been a close servant for many years. .

What's more, he just arrived in Jingdezhen not long ago, so how would he know what a "little god" is?Even if you know it, you don't care.

Now being attacked by someone, he suddenly felt that his majesty was swept away, and he roared: "Who is it! How dare you attack an official, do you want to kill yourself?"

"Really? Who dares to take my life?" Wu Yin's emotional voice came from behind coldly.

The officials saw that the people who came were two men. The leader was the one who spoke. They were tall and burly, and they were the new adults from the inspection department. He was a third-rank official in the dynasty, so he couldn't afford to offend him easily.

Beside him is a man in a black long gown, with an ordinary stone tied around his waist, his identity cannot be discerned by his attire, except for his tall figure, sword eyebrows and starry eyes, it is a glance in the crowd To the extent that you can see it.

Not to mention superior looks, there is also an indescribable Ling Ran temperament.There is dignity in the coldness, which makes people dare not despise.

His arrogance immediately weakened, and he saluted Wu Yin politely.

When Wu Yin asked him why he broke into the folk kilns, he was not guilty, saying that he was ordered to act.Wu Yin then asked him for the search and arrest documents, but he hesitated again and again and refused to submit them.

Wu Yin took a step forward, and the man's wrist hurt in the blink of an eye, and when he looked closely, the document was in Wu Yin's hands.

Wu Yin curled his lips, unfolded the document casually, and smiled: "Who wrote this? I'm a big bastard and I don't know much! Does your family have a teacher? No matter how important the prisoner is, there is nothing on the document. information, how do you arrest people?"

"I... my subordinates have to be personally instructed by adults to memorize the description of the prisoner in my heart."

"Really? What about them?" Wu Yin swept over the officials who followed him, "They were also dictated by your adults one by one? Your adults are really free!"

The officer was at a loss for words for a while, and didn't know how to answer.Wu Yin wanted to say something more, but was stopped by the people around him.

"Master Wu is sitting here, let the officials search. If you don't search inside and outside today, I'm afraid Anqing Kiln will not be able to get rid of the suspicion."

After Xu Zhiliu finished speaking, he nodded to Wu Yin and Liang Peiqiu not far away.

Liang Peiqiu got his permission, and just let the housekeeper and servants get out of the way.

The leading official sent a fixed glance at Xu Zhiliu, said nothing more, and ordered the official send behind him to scatter and run towards the Anqing Kiln.

Liang Peiqiu asked someone to bring out some chairs and served refreshments.

After the official searched around and came back, he saw Wu Yin sitting at the entrance of the ancestral hall with a big horse and a golden knife, his footsteps paused, his face turned green and white, and he led the troops away without half a stick of incense.

Afterwards, everyone in Anqing Kiln breathed a sigh of relief and left separately.

Only Liang Peiqiu was left in front of the ancestral hall.

Liang Peiqiu bowed his hands to thank Wu Yin, Wu Yin raised his hand and interrupted: "No, I find it troublesome, I can't remember those things, the favor between the two of you will only be remembered by one person."

He looked around, "Is it you or him?"

Xu Zhiliu pushed his hand away and smiled faintly: "Brother Wu, stop joking with her. Thank you very much today, can you allow me to have a word with Pei Qiu?"

Wu Yin raised his eyebrows, his playful eyes wandered back and forth between the two of them, and then walked aside with interest.

Seeing him walking away, Xu Zhiliu asked just now, "Are you scared?"

The corners of Liang Peiqiu's mouth could not help but curl up: "No."

"Did it hurt anywhere?"

"No, you don't have to worry. Fortunately, you came in time."

Seeing that he still had a look of disapproval, she opened her arms openly and turned around, letting him look.

After confirming that she was not injured, Xu Zhiliu was satisfied, and took the initiative to explain: "After you left last night, the inspectors helped mediate and stopped the officials of the county government. I thought they would retreat. I didn't expect Wu Yin to come over this morning Looking for me, they said it was people from the county government who searched all night, but they didn't stop. I don't think they looked like they were looking for Wang Shaodong's house, but this matter started because of him, and he probably had something to do with it, so they came here with Wu Yin have a look."

Liang Peiqiu recalled the situation just now, it was really thrilling.Fortunately, Wu Yin's identity is here, and he overwhelms the other party, otherwise, even if they are not looking for Wang Yunxian, I am afraid they will suffer a lot.

Thinking of this, she realized something: "You mean the people from the county government searched the town all night?"

"Yes, it looks like some court criminal has really escaped."

Liang Peiqiu opened her eyes sharply.

Xu Zhiliu asked: "Do you know who it is?"

They left in a hurry yesterday, and then went on their own, and haven't had time to make contact, so Xu Zhiliu didn't know Wanniang's identity.

She told everyone what happened yesterday, and speculated: "Maybe Wanniang ran away, and Zhang Wensi is looking for her?"

Xu Zhiliu thought about it carefully and agreed with her opinion.

If Wanniang was from the Southern Barbarians, it would be an important witness for Zhang Wensi to instigate the rebellion, how could Zhang Wensi let her go back alive?

If Wanniang was killed and Zhang Wensi suppressed the matter, then Wang Yunxian might be fine.But once Wanniang escapes or falls into the hands of others, Wang Yunxian's theft of treasures will be in danger of being exposed.

The son of a rich family is not up to the mark, and sells family heirlooms to redeem the lives of prostitutes. No matter how ugly this matter is, it will not affect life or death. The bad thing is that Wanniang has a special status, and Wang Yunxian may be suspected of collaborating with the enemy.

The thought that flashed through her mind at the moment was that Wanniang must not be allowed to leave.However, is Wanniang allowed to be killed by Zhang Wensi?

Xu Zhiliu saw that her expression changed a few times, she was still worried about Wang Shaodong's family, and an indescribable unhappiness flashed across her heart.

Then he caught a glimpse of the young man hiding in the shadow behind the door in the ancestral hall not far away, seeing that he had listened to their conversation one by one, Xu Zhiliu's eyes turned cold instantly.

"You don't have to worry too much, Wanniang will leave it to me to deal with it. No matter what happens, you just pretend to be deaf and dumb and don't admit it."

"But……"

Before she could speak, Xu Zhiliu took another step closer.

The two were very close, the spring morning light fell on her brows, eyes and lips, she raised her head in surprise, with him in the corner of her eyes.

Xu Zhiliu had never felt that the light of the morning sun was so warm and soft.

Thinking of the withered pear blossoms that fell at his feet last night, spring blossoms and autumn fruits are nothing more than a common thing. In the past years, he often went through the spring and summer alone at night, and he had never felt that way. Hua Cuican, but as long as she is not around, everything will turn pale.

There was a steady force in his voice that lured her into it.

"Peiqiu, you used to live in a deep house for a long time and ignored the kiln affairs. I thought it might be bad for you to do business in the future. Now I think it's not a bad thing. Now Jingdezhen is troubled. The eunuch's stubborn influence has not yet been eradicated. Scheming, you stay in the kiln with peace of mind, just like before, guarding one side of the fire, don't care about anything, don't ask, be an idler, and wait for my news, okay?"

"What about you? What do you do?"

Her eyes were full of worries for him, and in Xu Zhiliu's eyes, she felt relieved, and the corners of her mouth were unconsciously stained with a smile.

"I will explain to the steward and time of the mansion. If anything happens, you can come to me at any time. At any time, the door of Hutian kiln will be open for you."

He wanted to say something more, but Wang Yunxian suddenly strode over and coughed repeatedly.

Liang Peiqiu turned his head to look, and saw him staring at a pair of big eyes with brass bells, which read brightly - are you flirting in front of me, treating me as a dead person?

Liang Peiqiu was suddenly ashamed, winked at him, and said silently: "It's not suitable, it's not suitable, put away your eyes."

Wang Yunxian completely ignored it.

At this moment, Xu Zhiliu, who didn't know what charades they were playing, said quietly: "Peiqiu, there is one more thing I want to ask you. Yesterday... did you dress up as Wanniang instead of a woman's?"

　Love rivals meet, especially jealous.
