But the bright moon shines on the ditch

On the same night, some people were in love with each other and couldn't sleep together; others were killing evil for half their lives and pretending to be crazy.

If the wolf hair in a scholar's hand can be used as a sharp sword, then Xu Zhiliu should be a famous swordsman on the green forest list.The speed of his sword was no slower than that of any killer. The day after Aragonite disappeared, Zhang Wensi almost went crazy.

This has to start a few days ago.

Because Xia Ying wanted to set up a pottery industry supervisory committee, and An Jiu refused to delegate power to the three kilns and nine committees, he was caught in the middle and had both sides, which made both his bosses unhappy.

He had been operating in Jiangxi for many years, and he could have risen all the way, but he had inherited the love of the old eunuch in his early years, and during this turbulent period, he had no choice but to degrade himself and return to Jingdezhen as a county magistrate.

He originally thought that the eunuch would run for him and change his position after the storm, but unexpectedly, a Xia Ku official fell from the sky, not only disrupting their entire plan, but also blocking his only escape route.

If you are unable to achieve a high level or a low level job, you will not be able to go back to the government office, and there will be no place for you in the county government office.

When Kuang Xiaying came, his wife was making a fuss in the city because of her arrogance. An Jiu was also suspicious that he wanted to overtake her, so how could he dare to act like a monster?Just like that, after ten years of hard work, once he returned to the starting point, he was demoted to a small county magistrate.

Although he is a high-ranking county magistrate, although his salary has been improved compared to his previous official position, and although Jingdezhen porcelain has made his face in front of the emperor, and the surrounding counties and towns from Jingdezhen to Fuliang County have followed suit, in the final analysis, he is still An unknown little official!

What's even more unlucky is that ten years ago he could leap over the indifferent county magistrate and become the master of the matter. But now not only can't he leap over, but two Five Fingers Mountains are directly pressing down on his head.

One in the open and one in the dark, how can he survive in a crack?
Over the past few days, Zhang Wensi has really been complaining a lot, and he has waded into this muddy water. His original intention was to get some benefits from it, so that he would have something to rely on when he retired. However, he got involved in the court struggle and became the meat of civil servants and eunuchs. Cake, there is no way forward or backward, I am really just crying but without tears.

He was still thinking about how to serve as a doorway for a wall. One day when he came back from outside, he was hit by a reckless child as soon as he got off the carriage.Just when he was about to yell loudly, his calf was suddenly hit by a hard object. When he lowered his head, he saw that it was a paper ball wrapped in stones.

The child has run away.

He picked up the ball of paper out of curiosity.

This made his life even more difficult.

After that, no matter where he went, in the backyard of the county government office, in the hall, or on the carriage when he was out on business, a piece of paper would appear inexplicably. The content written on the paper was without exception the three words "Wending Kiln".

At first, he thought it was someone's prank and told himself not to take it to heart, but as time went by, this torture, which seemed to be taking advantage of every opportunity, finally broke his will.He felt that there was a pair of eyes behind him staring at him all the time, tightly locking his every move, making him unable to eat and feel uneasy.

He had to start planning, was it revealed?Who is acting evil again?What exactly is the intention!Under this airtight surveillance, he gradually collapsed and became suspicious.

The first suspect is of course An Jiu.

Xia Ying pays attention to efficiency in everything she does. She doesn't like to be sloppy, and she doesn't play tricks. Therefore, if Xia Ying is dissatisfied with him, she will speak out directly instead of making small moves behind his back. The only one who can come up with such a damaging move is An Jiu. !

The dead eunuch learned thousands of tricks in the inner court, and now he uses them on his own people.Zhang Wensi gritted his teeth with hatred, and for a moment he had evil intentions and wanted to kill him!
Therefore, during the tug-of-war to form a supervisory team, Xia Ying's favorite porcelain industry figures were already living in seclusion in the mountains, so he had to personally send people to invite them out. Under the calculations of both parties, this hot potato turned out to be, as expected, The ground was thrown into Zhang Wensi's hands.

An Jiu instructed him to block people in the mountains forever, while Xia Ying wanted to observe his loyalty.He originally felt embarrassed, but with the paper ball issue, he simply tried his best and pretended to miss Xia Ying to succeed, and then faked the scene to make An Jiu mistakenly think that it was a surprise attack from behind by Xia Ying, and became furious.

Therefore, An Xia and An Xia are increasingly at odds with each other.

Now seniors and leaders are gathering in Jingdezhen to discuss the next step, that is, how to effectively carry out supervision responsibilities. This requires the cooperation of the three kilns and nine associations.An Jiu lost several games in a row. He couldn't bear the bad breath, so he once again used the excuse that the Wanshou porcelain firing was imminent, making the owners of the major private kilns think twice before proceeding.

Xia Ying waited and waited, but before a few people came to the meeting, she jumped again.

The back and forth between the two parties gave the folk kilns a chance.I don’t know who was the first to stand up and ask the imperial kiln factory to increase the deposit so that the Wanshou porcelain firing can proceed smoothly. This can improve the timeliness and promote the implementation of the Baicai New Policy.

Xia Ying was happy to see the success, but An Jiu was in trouble again.

This fixed deposit has always been calculated, and it is not up to him to give more or less, it is all decided by the superiors.If you really want to make a calculation, the amount of Wanshou porcelain fired is unprecedentedly large. The request from the private kiln is not unreasonable, and the imperial kiln factory should provide convenience.

This convenience was also beneficial to him in supervising the production of Wanshou porcelain, but when it came to the silver item, it was like an invisible hand strangling An Jiu's throat, preventing him from making any rash moves.

Also afraid to act rashly was Zhang Wensi.

He secretly spies and observes all kinds of people coming in and out around him every day. Unfortunately, everyone is suspected, but the person behind the paper ball has still not been found. There is either a lack of physical evidence or a lack of witness.

However, after considering all parties, he still locked in a suspect - this person was Wang Jin who had gone to the government office to deliver documents before returning to Jingdezhen.

The day Wang Jin came back happened to be the first day the paper ball appeared.

After that, Wang Jin accompanied him, running errands for him, and on the way he went to pick up several porcelain industry leaders from the mountains. On the surface, he seemed simple-minded and loyal, but for some reason, maybe it was a sense of smell that had been in the officialdom for many years, or maybe it was When the attention is concentrated, the subtleties that are usually undetectable will be magnified, and Zhang Wensi keenly discovered that something was wrong with Wang Jin.

This man lived in the west end of the town. He had no wife or children around him, and no high school. There was only an old man in charge of sweeping the house. This alone was very unusual.Secondly, he never went in and out with his colleagues and always went home alone after going to the office.However, living in the west of the town, he crossed Jingde Street several times to go to the east end of the town to get a drink, so he was ridiculed by his colleagues as a drinking funnel.

However, according to Zhang Wensi's observation, Wang Jin does not seem to be a good drinker, at least not the kind of person who would go across the entire town from west to east to get a bottle of wine just for a sip of good wine.Although he is rude and ignorant and likes to show off his power, he is not sober as an alcoholic.

Even if he went out of his way to fight evil and become red-blooded, he never touched the bottom line of criminal law.Many times, even if everyone is drunk and unconscious at a private banquet, Wang Jin is always the one who takes Zhang Wensi back to the county office.

Now that I think about it, it seems that every time, Wang Jin maintains a kind of sobriety that is not easy for others to see through.The reckless, aggressive, and fiery-tempered Yamen in the eyes of others is just who he wants others to think of himself.

In fact, Zhang Wensi didn't know what kind of person he was, and he never wanted to know.

He thought carefully, in what year did Wang Jin come to him?Why didn't he find out that this subordinate he regarded as a confidant never got married?
I don't think it's okay, but when I think about it, I feel like I'm really going around. The more I think about it, the more I feel scared, and the more I think about it, the more I feel like something is wrong.

Zhang Wensi couldn't fall asleep at all. He kept thinking and thinking, which link went wrong, and why did the incident at Wending Kiln more than ten years ago be revealed at this juncture?What does Wending kiln have to do with it?

Suddenly, an idea flashed through Zhang Wen's mind!
The year when Wang Jin was recommended to join the county government as a head catcher, it seemed that he was connected to an underground bank. The other party found him, took a lot of money, and forced an illiterate man in.

What's the name of that bank?

Zhang Wen thought that he couldn't remember, but he vaguely remembered that shortly after Wang Jin appeared, a big event happened in the town - the Wending kiln was destroyed.

Hundreds of thousands of taels of snowflake silver disappeared.

**
On the other hand, Zhang Wensi began to search for relevant documents of the bank based on his memory, and sent people to follow and investigate Wang Jin, hoping to trace the incident of Wending Kiln again and prepare his own escape route.

But this one attracted Wang Yu's attention the day after Si Liu disappeared.It was just a troubled time, and Wang Yu didn't want to cause unnecessary trouble, so he kept silent and asked the servants to keep their mouths shut, but he felt vaguely uneasy in his heart.

How could Siliu, who had rarely gone out for many years, disappear without any warning?If he left the house, how could he not tell him in advance?At the very least, he should at least speak to the concierge.

However, there was a wedding event in the house last night, and the concierge was also given good wine and food. Several people were so drunk that they had no idea what happened in the middle of the night.Wang Yu was so angry that she could only return to the accounting room.

After a detailed search, Wang Yu couldn't sit still at all.

There was actually a packed baggage in Si Liu's cage, which contained clothes from all seasons and the money Si Liu had accumulated over the years. Most importantly, it also contained the household registration documents used for customs clearance.

If you are just walking around town, you do not need to show your household registration documents.It can be seen that Si Liu had been ready to leave for a long time, and it was not just a one or two day trip, but a complete departure from the Anqing Kiln.

Then why did he leave without saying goodbye?Why was the luggage left behind?
Wang Yu had no way to treat the departure of an old man with important responsibilities as a farce, not to mention that there was no customs clearance document, and he could not leave even if he wanted to. With the forty-six caution, it was impossible to make such a low-level mistake, most likely Something happened.

His heart tightened and he immediately called Wang Yunxian.

Wang Yunxian has been running around town since he was a child. There is no place in Jingdezhen that he is not familiar with. If a cat or dog is lost at home, he can find the general direction by smell, let alone a living person.

The father and son talked behind closed doors. Wang Yunxian realized the seriousness of the matter. He didn't care about Liang Peiqiu, who was still sleeping, and did not dare to say anything to his old father. He immediately led people out of the door.

He first sent out four young men along Jingde Street from east to west, and asked them to walk in the north and south directions along the main road to see if there were any emergencies or strange things in the town, and then find their own A few friends asked about the excitement that happened in the town last night.

This is a group of gangsters who participate in underground gambling. Whatever strange things happen in the town cannot escape their ears.The more a place where people are mixed, the more informed they are, and countless secrets and transactions are going on here.To know the whereabouts of a person as quickly as possible, it is more likely to get clues here than to search aimlessly for a needle in a haystack.

After just a cup of tea, Wang Yunxian actually got the news.

What happened was that last night another dandy in their circle was having sex with a prostitute on the Flower River. Unexpectedly, he went too far and fell into the river.

There have been frequent rains in recent days, and canals have been opened upstream and downstream. In addition, farmland needs to be irrigated after harvests. The water system extends in all directions. Several rivers in the inner city are open. The water flow is so fast that the dude disappears as soon as he falls into the river.

There was chaos on the Huahe River, and a bunch of servants immediately jumped down to find people.After finally rescuing the dude, I don't know if he was frightened by the water or if he saw it wrongly. After he regained consciousness, the dude kept saying that he saw a dead man. He rushed down from the river embankment, kicked him hard on the head, and then After swiping it, it disappeared.

This is so dark, who can tell whether it is a person or a wooden pile?They thought he was frightened and tried to persuade him. The doctor came and checked that there was nothing wrong with his head. He made a soothing soup for him to drink. That's it. Before falling asleep, the dude muttered something about seeing a dead man.

He grew up pampered at home. When his own grandmother saw that her grandson was possessed by a demon, she waited at the city gate before dawn and sent the young man to Guanyin Temple to ward off the evil spirits.This matter couldn't be concealed at all. It spread among the dandy boys early in the morning. Wang Yunxian only came to have tea in the afternoon to watch the fun. It was already too late.

He knew what he was doing, so he immediately went back to his hometown to gather his troops and dispersed them along the river without stopping.

In the middle of the night, we finally found the person.
