But the bright moon shines on the ditch

An Jiujiu is a good fortune, and everyone in Jingdezhen knows it.Since he was appointed to supervise pottery, he has accepted bribes, oppressed kiln workers, seized land, colluded with porcelain dealers to resell high-quality porcelain for profit, and randomly changed the porcelain tax system and the rules among major halls and merchants, making Jiangxi's porcelain industry a mess... His reputation is so notorious that it is known all over the country.

"Let's talk about porcelain tax first. It has always been carried out according to the trade gang. Each gang pays tax according to the variety and quantity of purchased porcelain. Although the thickness of the branch, gang, bag, and basket is different, the variety is different, and the tax rate is not the same, but everyone By default, the rules are the rules, and you want to be fair, but do you know? All the gangs that have close contacts with the fox king will get a discount on porcelain tax, ranging from [-]% to [-]% off, and more from [-]% off!"

These days, the common people have seen the eunuch's vicious methods, and even smelled the danger. In order to avoid disasters, they simply gave An Jiu a nickname, jokingly called "Fox King", alluding to him relying on the eunuch's eunuch Back up, the fox pretends to be the tiger, and acts like a domineering.

"That's unreasonable! Is there no one in Jiangxi who can cure him?"

"Don't tell me, there was indeed someone who was able to cure the fox king two years ago. This person united with major porcelain merchants to protest to the Fuliang Porcelain Bureau and the Royal Kiln Factory, and finally agreed to discount the price according to the quality and quantity of porcelain. For example, Inferior coarse porcelain is less profitable, and some small gangs sell porcelain along the river in small boats. The quantity is small and not fixed, and the tax rate should be increased or decreased accordingly. The porcelain merchants pay less tax, so naturally they don’t need to go here and there to clear the way, the fox king I suffered a great loss and hid at home for a while without going out!"

"Happy!"

"Who is that person? Why hasn't he come to punish the fox king when the town is full of smoke recently?"

"Still talking! This man has fallen into the fox's den!"

As soon as the storyteller mentioned this, he became very angry, and the gavel tree shocked everyone in the auction, "In order to expand the building area of ​​the Suhu Guild Hall, Xu Daren repeatedly fought with the people of Huangjiazhou, causing huge losses. According to The law of this dynasty should impose heavy punishment, but Xu Daren transported a few boxes of gold overnight to please the fox king. In the end, the county magistrate only lightly reprimanded him, and the matter was over! In this way, the people of Huangjiazhou How can you give up? A piece of paper will report Xu Daren and King Fox to the state government office, and the higher-ups will send special officials to inspect, do you know what will happen next?"

Those who listened to the book were all in a hurry, asking questions about the follow-up, and the storyteller made it right. At their most urgent moment, he slowly pulled a long tail tune, "Unexpectedly, the people of Huangjiazhou kept silent and lied that there was no such thing. Governor Xu Fu He was the first one to come forward, and performed a scene of peace with Xu Daren, fooling the officials of the state government, and the vicious brawl that shed several bloody incidents just disappeared. Do you know where the key is? ?”

Without waiting for the tea guests to respond, the storyteller immediately raised his voice and said angrily, "That's right, it's that man! It is said that he led a large group of Xu Daren's domestic slaves to surround Huangjiazhou, and he used both grace and power to governor Xu Fu. It was Huangjiazhou at night." There was a lot of crying, and at dawn he had to surrender. Xu Daren praised his talents in the town, and he is worthy of Xu Zhiliu, Zhuge of the Porcelain Industry!"

In recent days, Xu Zhiliu has traveled [-] times for the fox king, settling disputes, conquering people's hearts, sweeping up debts, becoming an accomplice and running dog, and has won countless infamy.

The storyteller doesn't need to write a storybook at all, it's an evil deed to do it easily!
"The fox king stumbled on the porcelain tax, so he made a crooked idea on the donation ticket. We all know that to open a porcelain shop, you need a donation post, and you can only open with an official post from the Ministry of Industry. This requires experts to make donations. Tickets. When it comes to connoisseurs, everyone knows how many porcelain shops Xu Dacai has written signboards for! The fox king has worked with him to cheat donations with more reports and less! It is tolerable and unbearable! The association and major conference halls all look up to it, but no one dares to speak out! If this continues, I think the Jingdezhen porcelain industry is in danger!"

"You bullshit!"

The storyteller was about to get angry when he suddenly heard a shout in the hall. He raised his eyes and saw a young man of seventeen or eighteen years old.

There was already anger in the boy's eyes, and his face was flushed: "You are talking nonsense, he is definitely not that kind of person."

However, the trembling voice still betrayed her.

When she spoke out, many people in the audience recognized her and were discussing something in whispers.Only then did the storyteller come to his senses, and gave her a half-smile.

"Does the little god not believe it?"

The storyteller twisted his long beard and said, "Justice is in the hearts of the people, let's wait and see... the great talent Xu of the past is gone."

Soon after a story passed, the storyteller got off the high platform, and the tea drinkers dispersed, and the hall was completely empty for a while, which seemed to be a bit like "people leave the tea to cool down".

Liang Peiqiu pinched the cup, her hands still trembling imperceptibly.

Today, she managed to ask Wang Yunxian's approval, and went out to have a cup of tea to relax. She didn't want to just recuperate for a few days, and the wind direction in the town has changed drastically.

Mingquan Tea House is located on the East Street by the river. Facing the window, you can see not only the prosperous market, but also the gathering of merchants and the prosperous shipping. It will spread throughout the town in less than half a day.

It can be seen that the storyteller is familiar with this story just now, it seems that it is not the first time he has told it.What she was going to say and do, Wang Yunxian just said, "It's all spread", which made her feel disheartened in an instant.

"That's not what happened at all. Then Xu Daren bought it long ago... He clearly wanted to help Huang Jiazhou. Why did they tamper with the facts and smear his reputation?"

Her face, which hadn't seen any blood for many days, turned a strange redness, but she hadn't noticed it yet, so she said angrily, "Besides, he did so many things that were beneficial to the development of the porcelain industry in the past, have they all forgotten it in just how long? How can these people be so ruthless, they are right and they are wrong, over and over again, can they judge his character with just one mouth?"

She couldn't help but gasp when she got angry, and she coughed several times. A mouthful of thick phlegm seemed to be stuck in her throat, and it couldn't go up or down, almost making it impossible for her to breathe.

Wang Yunxian hurried forward, and comforted her while supporting her: "How can you manage your mouth to grow on someone else? Besides, in the teahouse, the story is passed on from ten to ten, and no matter how true the story is on the high platform, Aren’t they all arranged with twists and turns? Otherwise, how can we keep these tea guests and make money from you? You know clearly that they are exaggerating and confusing right and wrong, so why bother to vent your anger on them? "

"However, there are a lot of ordinary people and out-of-town tea merchants who don't know the situation here. If they say something on weekdays, it's nothing more than a book. How can they name names and talk nonsense?"

Thinking of the clear name just now, she couldn't sit still for a moment, "No, I'm going to find the storyteller and explain it to him face to face!"

Wang Yunxian couldn't stop him, so he could only follow her around the front hall and walked to the back of the main room. Unexpectedly, he met a group of people head-on, and two guards, tall and short, opened the way. With a wave of his hand, Liang Peiqiu and Wang Yunxian were blocked from the side.

The leader was a white-faced young man, handsome in appearance, brightly dressed, with a shrill laugh, followed by two people, and Zhang Wensi was talking.He must have been very happy recently, he was rounder than when we saw him last time, and his face was full of red.

The other side is relatively silent, and occasionally chiming in with one or two sentences is Xu Zhiliu, still dressed in plain clothes, but with a frown and a smile, the unique demeanor of a young man cannot be concealed. In addition, the pedestrians are mighty, wearing gold and purple, and he is caught in it , showing a bit of literati charm, Xun Lingliuxiang.

When they passed by, they obviously noticed Liang Peiqiu next to them. An Jiu nodded at her, and even Zhang Wensi gave her a look that was neither serious nor serious.

Only Xu Zhiliu didn't seem to see anything. She played with the Cuiying on her waist and followed An Jiu and Zhang Wensi away without looking back.

Thinking of how she defended him just now, saying "impossible" over and over again, and now that scene happened right in front of her eyes, seeing how they were talking and laughing happily, who would have thought that they were once immortal enemies?
Liang Peiqiu was stunned for a moment.

After a long time, when everyone had disappeared, Wang Yunxian seemed to sigh lightly, hugged her shoulder and said: "Go back, you are not well yet, don't miss the time to take the medicine."

"Just now, just now..."

She raised her head, with anticipation in her eyes. Wang Yunxian knew what she wanted to hear, but she didn't know how to say it. After thinking about it, she only said: "It's all over. When I get home, I will let the kitchen make your favorite lotus root stuffed dumplings. OK?"

Liang Peiqiu didn't notice that he was coaxing children, and just lowered his eyelashes, like a reptile knotting the hasty and poor feelings one by one, and tying them into the net.

At this time, Wu Yin, who had a clear view of the situation on the second floor, felt a little ashamed that he happened to be a "gentleman in Liang Shang". He coughed lightly and said, "Stop looking and go in."

The woman next to her in a light pink skirt said hello, and went back to the wing room before him.The inside has been smoked with incense sticks, and the sandalwood case is simple and unsophisticated, giving it an antique flavor.

The woman raised her delicate hands and wiped them with a hot towel under the care of the slave. Then she picked up the boiling tea and poured it into the shallow tea bowl opposite.

Wu Yin closed the sliding door and sat down in the original seat, thinking of something, he picked up the tea bowl and brought it to his mouth without much interest.

Before Wu Jia could speak, Wu Yin hissed.The rough-skinned man didn't get burned badly, he just let go, put the teacup back, and muttered, "Why didn't you remind me?"

Wu Jia found it funny: "Third brother, everyone can see that the tea soup is still boiling. It's obvious that you are absent-minded."

Wu Yin didn't make any excuses when he was told about the central matter, he just leaned against the window and glanced in the direction of the Royal Kiln Factory.Today, when he was resting, he specially took his younger sister out for shopping, not wanting to run into Xu Zhiliu and his party at the door.

He was not familiar with those people, and he was not in the mood to chat. After a brief nod, they dispersed.He took Wu Jia to the second floor. Xu Zhiliu and his party didn't bother and sat down in the wing next to the high platform.

After that, everyone naturally heard the story of "The Fox King" by Mr. Storyteller.

Wu Jiahui was heartbroken, and she could guess what Wu Yin was worrying about at a glance, and asked, "That Xu Shaodong's family is third brother's friend?"

"You see it?"

Wu Jia chuckled, "It's not hard to guess."

In the past, whenever Wu Yin went home to eat with her, he would talk about the daily routine of the inspection department, and mentioned Xu Zhiliu's name a few times.Although Wu Jia belongs to her daughter's family, it is inconvenient for her to go out, but she is neither deaf nor blind, and she understands the situation in Jingdezhen fairly well.

This Xu Shaodong's family is a well-known talented person from all over the world. When he is mentioned in private, the people all praise him, and occasionally feel sorry.

What is praised is of course his talent, but what is regretted is his circumstances.It is said that if his family was well-off, how could he be reduced to dealing with traffickers and pawns?He had already taken advantage of his ambition to reach the heights of the temple.

Seeing it today, Wu Jia felt that the most regrettable thing was that face.

After hearing this, Wu Yin raised his eyebrows slightly: "I didn't expect you to be embroidering in the room all day, and you could still hear the women's discussions behind the wall."

Wu Jia glared at him, knowing that he was joking, and spat: "There are so many servants in the family, and I don't go out, so don't they need to go out to buy things every day? Don't be like your father, follow the old and rotten school. Like an old man.”

"How dare you talk about the majestic servant of the household department behind your back, be careful when I go home and read a book for you!"

"you dare."

The two of you come and go to play against each other, and you can see that they have a good relationship, and there is nothing to stop them from talking in private.

Later, the conversation came back to Xu Zhiliu, and Wu Yin couldn't help but sigh: "They are right, if he didn't have the shackles of his life experience, he should go to the Hall of Supreme Harmony and pursue his Qingyun aspirations. It's a pity..."

Aside from all appearances, Xu Zhiliu is really a person who cultivates both internally and externally. He is far better than those dudes in Beijing. He is the most outstanding young man Wu Yin has ever seen.

However, he glanced at Wu Jia with a little hesitation. This girl has been asking a lot around corners today, so he couldn't help being on guard.

Wu Jia saw that he was deliberately picking on Joe, and he didn't put on any pretense, so he chased after him and asked, "What's the pity?"

Wu Yin said: "It's a pity that he has too many burdens on him, it's very dangerous."

Thinking of Wu Fangyuan's letter from not long ago, the situation in Beijing is turbulent. Although Xia Ying will arrive soon, the power of eunuchs is still deeply intertwined and difficult to shake.Wu Fangyuan ordered him to protect Xia Ying in private. If Xia Ying couldn't pry An Nineteen and uproot An Gan in one fell swoop, they didn't know which time they would have to wait for.

And such an opportunity is really rare.

"I think you have stayed here long enough. Father has written a letter asking you to return to Beijing as soon as possible. Why don't you pack up tomorrow..."

Before Wu Yin finished speaking, he saw the girl across from him stand up and gave him a white look: "Ruru!"

"What do you mean?"

Wu Yin was dumbfounded.

Before Wu Jialin went out, he turned around and explained kindly: "I came here to avoid the marriage arranged by my family, but you want to send me back. Third brother, are you afraid that I will steal your heart?"

Wu Yin thought of this sympathetic person, and jumped his feet in anger: "You girl, who taught you what kind of nonsense you say?"

But he couldn't get a response anymore. Wu Jia got out of the teahouse and got into the carriage.

When Wu Yin checked out and went out, Wu Jia only left him a car butt.

Knowing that this girl had always had her own ideas, Wu Yin couldn't help but feel his scalp twitching, so he rode to Hutian Kiln without any further delay.Now all the stewards of Hutian Kiln recognized him, and they let him in directly without the need for notification from the concierge.

Wu Yin waited for about two sticks of incense before Xu Zhiliu returned home.

Thinking of what happened at Mingquan Teahouse today, he couldn't help but feel a little curious. When he asked, he was still blaming Wu Jia in his mind. It was because her gossip had led him too far, so that he didn't even return home. Come directly to the show.

"Then what...you are very protective of your family, why do you still pretend not to see him? This is too hurtful!"

Xu Zhiliu sat down, took a sip of tea to moisten his throat, and then glanced at him: "Is the inspection department too comfortable recently?"

"you!"

Wu Yin was angry, "I still care about you?"

"If you really have the skill, why not run for me."

"what?"

Wu Yin didn't know what the person in front of him had said to An Jiu and those bastards. Anyway, when he asked something, he always felt a little unhappy.

The face was still the same, and the tone of voice sounded normal, but he just felt unhappy.

Not the usual unhappy kind.

Rather unhappy.

Sure enough, the man opened his mouth slowly and threw out a hot potato: "I want to know when Xia Ying will arrive at the port."
