But the bright moon shines on the ditch

When Liang Peiqiu arrived, the stick fell on the boy's back.

She squeezed into the crowd and saw Xu Zhiliu coming out from a distance, and when she reached the light of day, she paused her steps and looked up at the blue sky.Afterwards, he raised his feet and walked step by step among the people watching the excitement.

The people spontaneously moved out of the way.

He walked by her side, just passing by.

Liang Peiqiu raised his hand, not knowing what he wanted to do, and subconsciously pulled his sleeve, but just as his hand touched the corner of the sleeve, he retracted it as if he had been burned.

What to say?

Would he need her presence at this moment?Maybe he prefers to be alone?

Liang Peiqiu struggled for a long time, but finally did not come forward.

*
One person and one horse walked quietly on the country road, following the figure in front of them in the distance.

It wasn't until the figure returned safely to the Hutian kiln that the person hiding in the alley not far away breathed a sigh of relief, caressing the restless neck of the horse and sighing, then returned to the Anqing kiln.

Seeing the lights on in the dining room and guessing that someone was waiting for her, Liang Peiqiu calmed down and walked forward.

Wang Yunxian rushed over when he heard the movement, and asked anxiously: "Where did you go without a trace all day? The injury on your hand hasn't been treated yet! Show me quickly, is it still bleeding?"

Liang Peiqiu smiled lightly: "It's okay, how can a little bit of big wound bleed a lot?"

"It's not just a little bit bigger!"

Wang Yunxian involuntarily took her hand, and he saw that it was covered with bridle marks, and he didn't know where she had gone, and how much effort she had spent all the way.A good hand was left bloody by her abuse.

Wang Yunxian quickly called the doctor who was waiting in the front yard.

Seeing Liang Peiqiu's slightly surprised eyes, Wang Yunxian was not angry: "I came here in the morning, and I haven't let anyone leave. Who knows when you will come back."

He muttered, "Is it because of that guy again?"

Liang Peiqiu remained silent.

Wang Yunxian wanted to say something else, but Wang Yu coughed: "Let the doctor see Pei Qiu first."

The doctor cleaned Liang Peiqiu's wound, applied medicine, and instructed some precautions.After he left, Wang Yunxian couldn't wait to say: "You still say it's not serious? Did you hear that, the doctor asked you to rest for ten days! I can't figure it out. Ever since you knew that talented Xu, there have been injuries of all sizes. He Did it kill you?"

After he finished speaking, the room was so quiet that a needle could be heard.

Wang Yunxian realized that his words might have gone too far. Under Wang Yu's fiery stare, he leaned back to the table and whispered, "You must be hungry after running outside all day? Come and eat."

Liang Peiqiu shook his head, and said to Wang Yu, "Master, I don't have any appetite, so I'll go back and rest first."

"you……"

"Go back, I'll have someone cook a bowl of shredded chicken porridge for you, and I'll send it to Xiaoqingyuan later. Get a good night's sleep and take care of your body, nothing else matters."

Liang Peiqiu nodded in agreement.

After she left, Wang Yunxian glared at her father with dissatisfaction: "Why don't you let me continue? Am I wrong? If it wasn't for Xu Zhiliu, how could she have suffered such crimes!"

"Shut up."

Wang Yu glanced around, and the servants on the left and right stepped back knowingly.At this time, there were only father and son left in the dining room, and Wang Yu said leisurely, "Do you know why An Nineteen suddenly returned to Beijing earlier?"

"How did I know that!"

"You hang out in the market every day. Didn't you say that nothing that happens in Jingdezhen can escape your ears? Why didn't you find out about it?"

"I..." Wang Yunxian was at a loss for words, "Who dares to be careless about being an official? I heard that he committed a crime, and the inspectorate specially sent people to arrest him. I'm afraid his life will be lost this time. Hey, who knows that it's only been three months, and he's come back again! It's really strange!"

Wang Yu was out of breath, picked up chopsticks and hit him on the head: "What a ghost!"

Before Wang Yunxian yelled, he released another thunderbolt to divert his attention, "Although this matter is unknown, I guess it has something to do with Xu Zhiliu."

On that day, the Ninth Meeting of the Three Kilns learned the news that An Nineteen was about to return to Beijing, and summoned various folk kilns to discuss. During the whole process, Xu Zhong had a donkey face and kept silent, looking very strange.

Although he didn't know the inside story, it must have something to do with Hutian Kiln.According to common sense, it was probably Xu Zhiliu who did it.

Then at this time, An Nineteenth came home in defeat, and with his temperament of vengeance, he would definitely not spare Xu Zhiliu lightly.It's probably caused by An Nineteen who came out today.

Wang Yunxian was dumbfounded after listening to Wang Yu's analysis.

"When the inscription at the bottom of the big dragon vat happened earlier, although our Wangjiayao didn't support Mr. Yang publicly, but given the situation at that time, I was extremely reluctant to see the eunuch's family dominate, so I arranged for Pei Qiu to get close to Xu Zhiliu. In this way, I show my goodwill to Hutian Kiln. You also know that the old man Xu Zhong and I are at odds with each other, so we can only attack from Xu Zhiliu. But... who would have thought that the eunuch has such power behind him!"

Not only Wang Yunxian, but also many people who privately wondered about An Jiu's situation. They must have never expected that no matter how much they were favored by the Sacred Heart, once they entered the "cold palace", there would be a day when they would turn around.

Wang Yu thought for a long time, picked up the chopsticks and picked up the vegetables again, and said lightly: "You should spend more time with Pei Qiu these days, let her recover from her injuries at home, and don't go out."

Wang Yunxian was taken aback for a moment, then understood.

"You don't want her to get involved in Xu Zhiliu's affairs?"

Wang Yunxian stood up and watched Wang Yu pick up vegetables and eat with ease, with a calm expression on his face, but what did he say?What does it mean that he asked Liang Peiqiu to get close to Xu Zhiliu, dare to believe that all of this was his arrangement?
"You are afraid that if she contacts Hutian Kiln again at this time, it will cause trouble for Anqing Kiln, aren't you?"

Let her show up when needed, and put her under house arrest when she is not needed.

When she is what tool?

"Old man, that's your closed disciple! What's wrong with An Nineteen, are you going to protect yourself?" Wang Yunxian looked at Wang Yu coldly.

The father in front of him was a stranger to him.

Perhaps strictly speaking, he never felt that Wang Yu was familiar.There are two relatives who died young between their father and son, and there has always been a gap.

Looking at him now, I feel in a daze that he has two faces, and he speaks plausibly, saying that the folk kilns are one, advance and retreat together, with a dignified look, but before the catastrophe comes, he has already begun to plan his future and assess the situation.

what is this?
Liang Peiqiu entered the kiln when he was young, and after a few years, even if he was not his own child, he would not be much different.In this way, even if he is determined to take advantage of him, will he be treated the same way in the future if he is his own son?

"No wonder my brother would rather die than get rid of you." He said in a muffled voice.

Vague, not very clear.

I don't know if Wang Yu heard it clearly, but she froze for a moment, then stopped talking, finished a bowl of rice silently, got up and left.

Under the shadow of the moon, the old man's back was slightly staggering, Wang Yunxian hesitated to speak several times, and dropped his chopsticks.

He recalled the gossip he had heard in the marketplace when he was young, those people liked to talk loudly when they drank too much horse urine, and the business of Wangjiayao was so big that they often appeared as a topic of conversation.

Some of them laughed at the head of the family as a coward, for many years they let the Hutian kiln take the lead, and they were willing to be the second child who was not popular.Some people say that the Taoist master is smooth and has a certain amount of advance and retreat, so that Anqing Kiln can grow day by day.

Later, when they talked about the smart people in Jingdezhen, they laughed and said, "Wang Yu should be at the top of the list!"

He was young at that time, and he didn't really understand business classics, but just by the malicious laughter, he knew they were mocking Wang Yu.He wanted to go up and defend himself, but he didn't know how to defend himself.

How did he know his father?Thinking about it carefully, he couldn't even say a word, so he kicked the wine table angrily and scuffled with those people.

When I got home, I was scolded.

He was used to not explaining himself anything, just staring at the dignified person in front of him without blinking, thinking that he must not be the kind of person they said.

But who is he?Is it Wang Yunxian's father, or the owner of Anqing Kiln?
*
That night, Wang Yunxian and his friends got drunk and passed out.

When I woke up in the middle of the night, I found that the bed under me seemed to be shaking, and there was a lot of noise outside.He looked out of the window intently. At night, the lights along the Changjiang River were sparse, and only a few fireflies hovered on the window lattice. He knew that he was dragged to the painting boat.

His friends know what he taboos, and if he gets drunk outside, he doesn't have to worry about getting into trouble that he shouldn't.

He lay down for a while, remembering what Wang Yu said in the evening, and was disturbed for a while. In addition, people laughed and made noises from time to time, and the sporadic sleepiness was all disturbed, so he simply put on his clothes and got up.

When I went to the outside, I saw that these people were gambling on the boat.From a glance, except for a few friends, the others are all unfamiliar faces.

Wang Yunxian asked one person next to him, "Where did you find him?"

"How do I know."

The friend half leaned on the door, with one leg bent, while fiddling with the chips in his hand, he kept his eyes on the dice in front of him.After being pulled back by Wang Yunxian, he said again, "The curfew was already in place when we left Jiangshui Tower, who is still hanging out on the street? Young master, I had to find a familiar sister to pick you up, drunk, and I already made a bet when I got here. It seems that the casino didn't have enough fun, so I changed to another place to continue playing."

It's no different than the young masters who grew up in the golden nest, there are all kinds of people in the painting boat, speaking dirty words, grinning with yellow teeth, haha.

Wang Yunxian has never been a high-minded person, and his friends are also good at playing, and they joined the game as soon as they greeted them.

Wang Yunxian looked at the chips in his friend's hand, then shook his purse, and said with a smile, "It seems that I'm lucky tonight."

"Hey, who told me there was a money-spreading boy inside."

The friend lowered his voice and pouted in one direction.

Wang Yunxian followed the trend and saw a thin young man next to the west window of the gambling table, his face was sallow, so thin that he almost lost his shape, his eyes were sunken, and there was only a piece of loose skin, which was still shining like a mouse. Li cursed non-stop.

This man looked like a seasoned gambler.Not only is it good to gamble, but it may also be contaminated with some unclean things.

"what happened?"

Wang Yunxian became interested. After talking with his friends, he found out that this person had not closed his eyes for two days and two nights.

At this time, someone at the table said: "The Wang family, you have lost again, this time you can no longer pay on credit."

That "Wang family's" is the so-called money-scattering boy. Seeing that he made a wrong bet again, he was so angry that he slapped his thigh.

His clothes were tattered and torn, and he couldn't hide anything valuable, and the money bag had already been emptied and thrown on the table.Seeing his disfigured face, everyone smiled and sent him aside.

But he snorted, squatted down, and shook out a bank note from the sole of his shoe.

"Who said I have no money."

He slammed the banknote on the table.

Everyone covered their noses one after another, resisting the sour smell of feet coming to their faces, but couldn't help but look curiously.

It's really a silver ticket!
The denomination is not small, there are 100 taels!

The person who spoke first seemed to be familiar with him, and he said in shock, "Where did you get so much money?"

The Wang family smiled triumphantly: "I did a business last time and made a little money."

"What business?"

Wang's family shook their heads, keeping their secrets secret.

"What are you pretending to be! I don't know you yet, the valuables at home have been sold out long ago. Without capital, what kind of business do you do?"

The man stared suspiciously at Wang's family, and seeing him playing tricks, he slapped his forehead, "Oh, I remembered, last time we met, you said you were going back to your hometown in Yaoli, did you dig some treasure in the mountains?"

"What, what mountain, I've never been in a mountain before!"

"Still pretending? Look at the red soil on the sole of your shoe. Where did it come from if it wasn't from the mountains? I said that with such a large amount of money, you must have dug up a thousand-year-old ginseng, right?"

The crowd burst into laughter.

"Yaoli's territory is not that big. If there are thousand-year-old ginseng, I'm afraid it would have been dug away by someone?"

"Speaking of Yaoli, hey, have you heard? A big case happened in Yaoli in the past two days. It is said that a woman was raped, humiliated and hanged herself. The person who killed her was the younger brother of Xu Shaodong's family!"

"Which Xu Shaodong's family?"

"Which one else is there? Xu Zhiliu!"

"What did you say!" the Wang family yelled, "That girl is dead?"

"Why are you so startled? It's so scary! Why, so nervous, do you know that woman?"

Seeing that the face of Wang's family turned pale, he cursed a few words tremblingly, refused to gamble any more, took the bank note and went out.He asked the boatman to dock quickly, and the boatman said that he had to wait for the wind to come over, otherwise he would sail against the waves and the boat would not move.

The Wang family looked at the surface of the river, it was completely dark, and they did not dare to jump into the river and swim back to the shore.He was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, and kept spinning around the bow.

This situation is tricky at first glance.

Throughout the whole process, Wang Yunxian didn't speak a word, so he couldn't help guessing at this moment.After hesitating for a moment, he stepped forward to chat with the Wang family.

"I'm Wang Yunxian from Anqing Kiln. You and I have the same surname. Maybe our ancestors are from the same family."

The Wang family was taken aback for a moment, but didn't answer his words.

"You are a son of a rich family, and you spend your money casually, which is different from us untouchables."

"Where is it, I have always admired bloody people. Judging by the action you rolled the dice just now, you have a bit of boldness to slap Fang Qiu. I think you are a master! I also want to practice this kung fu. I wonder if I can ask you for advice." One or two? If you are not busy, why not come back home with me, I will prepare delicious food and wine for you."

Under Wang Yunxian's flattery, the Wang family didn't remember the previous things, they were dazzled by the delicious food and wine, and they were already in high spirits.As soon as the boat docked, he followed Wang Yunxian back home.

When the gate was closed, Wang Yunxian gestured to the left and right.

The boys got the letter one step earlier, and immediately surrounded him and tied him up.The Wang family was about to speak, but a ball of stinky socks was stuffed into his mouth, and his eyes widened immediately, but it was a pity that his fists were no match for four hands, so he was dragged into the firewood room like that.

At this time, when he was in a hidden place, Wang Yunxian's face darkened, and he asked: "What does the Yaoli case mentioned on the boat have anything to do with you? Where did the banknote on your body come from?"

The wailing of the Wang family kept clamoring.

Wang Yunxian tore off the sock, and the Wang family immediately took a deep breath, and only when his breath calmed down did he curse, and stuffed another sock into his mouth.

Wang Yunxian squeezed his chin and said: "You don't need to say anything, and I can't do anything to you. But, if you don't like smelly socks, you can stuff them until dawn. Then I will send you to the county government office. Stay in the cell for a few days, I'm afraid you will have to stop talking."

Hearing this, the Wang family's expression changed drastically, their eyeballs rolled, and they quickly softened to Wang Yunxian.

But Wang Yunxian didn't believe it, he lowered his head to his ear, and said softly: "Don't try to lie to me, think about what will happen to that woman."

Judging from this person's previous reaction, he probably did not expect that the woman would hang herself. It can be seen that the woman's death was a breakthrough for him.Wang Yunxian has played tricks on the servants of the family since he was a child. He knows that people are cowardly, and he can't help being scared.

No matter what it is, a little scare can always tell the truth.

The Wang family's eyes suddenly opened wide, and after a burst of panic, the whole person was like a mourning concubine, softening into a puddle of mud.At this time, Wang Yunxian took away the stinky socks, and without any force, he told the whole story of what happened.

"Someone found me and asked me to drag the woman into the mountains to invade and rape me, and promised to give me a sum of money afterwards. I... I thought he had a grudge against the woman, so he came up with this insidious way of revenge. The woman is extremely temperamental. Vigorous, it scratched my back with blood marks all over it, I thought she wouldn't seek death, but I didn't expect..."

When he heard that this matter had developed to Xu Zhiliu, he knew it was a bad thing, probably being used by someone.But everything has been done, what else can he do?

If it wasn't for a moment of itching, he would not have been caught if he showed his feet in the gambling house.

He immediately regretted it.

Wang Yunxian didn't care what mood he was in, whether he regretted it or hated him, in the end he was a bastard.He didn't expect it to be like this.

He thought this man was crazy about money, and he happened to meet a woman on the way to dig treasures in the mountains, and what did he do to her.

But he also guessed that since Xu Zhiliu was involved, the matter might not be simple.

He thought for a while, then asked, "Who bought you?"

The Wang family was dejected: "I don't know him, just, just an ordinary-looking middle-aged man."

He recalled a bit, and added, "Oh yes, his voice is a bit strange, thin, not like a normal man, but more like..."

"Like what?"

The Wang family shook their heads.

Wang Yunxian didn't push any more, put the stinky socks back into Wang's mouth, turned and left the firewood room.

It was still dark at this time, and all of this happened at night, except for a few servants who were helping, no one in the mansion knew about it.He didn't want to go back to sleep, he wandered around by himself, and came to Xiaoqingyuan unknowingly.

Looking at the familiar courtyard not far ahead, Wang Yunxian's feet seemed to weigh a thousand catties.

He was like a wooden stake, stuck in place motionless, he didn't know what to think, and he didn't know how long it took until a ray of light appeared in the sky.

The light cast a soft halo on the door of the house, and there seemed to be a sound coming from inside, he suddenly regained his senses, his body twitched, and he turned and walked away quickly.

At this moment, there was a "squeak", and the door behind him opened.

Liang Peiqiu, who hadn't slept all night, said with a hoarse voice, "Yunxian, why are you here?"

Guess everyone, will Yun Xian tell Pei Qiu?
