But the bright moon shines on the ditch

Chapter 92
Liang Peiqiu did drink a lot, but she was far from unconscious. When the new officer asked her whether she had a good drinking capacity, she was a little dazed. When did she become so familiar with him?Do they have a relationship where they can chat about everyday things?
I don't know where the anger came from, maybe she was also annoyed that he had interrogated her all afternoon about Xu Zhiliu, which made her forgetful about food and drinks for several days, and she was also very depressed, so she recklessly let him know what she had been waiting for for a long time. Xie Huo: "Why did Mr. Zhou say this? What does my drinking ability have to do with you? Why do you talk to me in a questioning and questioning tone?"

Perhaps she had found the direction, and her eyes suddenly opened wide, "Are you angry?"

Xu Zhiliu was so frightened by the suddenly enlarged face in front of him that his heart tightened and he took a few steps back. However, he was still a step too late. The lingering aroma of bitter orange lingered in his nose. He turned his back to cover it up, only to realize it later. He lost control of himself, and there was a hint of anger in his voice that he didn't even notice.

What's up with him?
Why should we be so weak to our enemies who use us, betray us, and kill us in a sea of ​​blood?

He thought about it and reasonably classified it as unwillingness to be treated like a donkey with good intentions.

"Master Liang, why don't you look at what you are like now? You don't have the solemnity and majesty of the great master! I am afraid that you will lose your moral integrity after drinking and ruin Jingdezhen's reputation."

Liang Peiqiu lowered her head and looked at her clothes, which were still neat and intact. She touched her face and saw that there were no traces of alcohol or food. She then winked at Zhou Qiguang, innocent and pitiful.

"My lord, are you deliberately making things difficult for me? How can I be immoral if I am so sober?"

"Are you awake?" Xu Zhiliu suppressed the blood that was rising again and refused to look at her. "If you were awake, you wouldn't be talking to me about meaningless topics here. If you were awake, how dare you contradict me?"

Liang Peiqiu languished.

As long as the other party showed official authority, she would reflexively stand at attention and take the beating, showing the consciousness of a commoner with a crew cut, nodding her head and bowing her head.

Originally, Xu Zhiliu should be relieved that she was no longer being so stubborn, but seeing how humble she was, an unknown fire arose in her heart.He forced himself to calm down and walked out of Jiangshui Tower with her.

The waiter took the horse out and saw that Liang Dong's family was so drunk that they couldn't stand upright. How could they still ride the horse?Looking at the unmoving Master Qingtian next to him, he felt troubled for a moment.

Xu Zhiliu only hesitated for a moment before planning to let Liang Peiqiu drive back in his own car.

Many things have not yet been resolved, and leaving her here to vent her anger is just a child's act of loyalty and cannot solve the fundamental problem, so he properly put his soft heart to rest.

Unexpectedly, at this time, a carriage with "Anqing Kiln" lanterns staggered up to the front. A woman dressed as a maid got out and came closer to talk to Liang Peiqiu. Liang Peiqiu happily called her Baili.

When the waiter saw that they were familiar with each other, he threw away the reins and ran away.

"Why did you come to pick me up?"

The stubborn Baili never thought that she might not be able to ride home after the party. She scratched her head and said, "Yes, it's the young master's house."

Her voice was extremely low, so low that it blended in with the sound of the wind, but Xu Zhiliu still heard the familiar name.

"Unzen is here too?"

Baili nodded casually, covered her mouth, picked her up and threw her into the carriage.

When Xu Zhiliu was surprised at how strong this girl was, the carriage had already passed in front of her.The wind blew up the car curtain, and he glanced at it casually, his eyes fixed.

There was a third person in the carriage.

It's a man.

At this moment, Liang Peiqiu was leaning on the man's shoulder, with a slight smile on her lips, and was intimate with the man without any precautions.The man had no choice but to let her toss him around, his eyes full of doting.

Xu Zhiliu walked away with a puff of his sleeves.

He also said he wasn't drunk.

He also said he was awake.

In a large public place, what kind of behavior is there? !

After this day, Xu Zhiliu summoned the owner of the Wuchang Guild Hall as a county magistrate, with the intention of mediating the dispute between him and the Ningshao Guild Hall.Unexpectedly, the owner said it was settled right away, and now he has made peace with the Ningshao Guild Hall.

Xu Zhiliu was suspicious and asked: "I heard that you bribed the Duchang Gang not to sell the soil to the Ningshao Guild Hall. I think you have deep grudges. How did you resolve the conflict with others in just a short period of time?"

The other party touched the tip of his nose and knew that the official was not easy to fool. He sighed and complained that he had been taken advantage of because of his negligence.

Xu Zhiliu asked again who was taking advantage of him. He had an air of bitterness. He almost wiped his nose and shed tears when he wanted to speak. For a long time, Xu Zhiliu didn't say anything, and then he said silently: "We have a saying among the people, fox If the king is the sky in Jingdezhen, then the little god is the clouds in the sky. The two of them are fighting on it, and the common people are like fragile egg shells, dying at every touch."

Xu Zhiliu didn't want to hear this.What he wants is evidence.

"Who is the Fox King?"

The owner folded his hands and remained silent.If this is said, wouldn't it mean that the fifth-grade life officer should be sued to the Yamen?Let’s not talk about whether An Jiu instigated him or not, nor whether the new official was honest and upright. He lost half his life just by talking.

Living in this world is more important than anything else.

The owner said: "Sir, please stop trying to trick me. I don't know anything. The feud with Ningshao Guild Hall is purely personal and has nothing to do with anyone else. Now that it has been resolved, can I leave?"

Xu Zhiliu didn't look at him, and sorted through the files on the table, and said casually: "You mentioned the little god just now? Why did he get involved? Don't worry, this is not a court trial, what you said is only in this room. "

The owner of the hall secretly regretted it, and for a moment he was about to be caught. If he didn't say a few words, he might not be able to walk out of the county government gate today, so he thought again and again, and replied cautiously: "Ningshao Guild Hall and I are indeed a bit old. It is also a good thing to have accumulated grudges and rely on the little god to reconcile them, and now they have turned the hostility into friendship."

"when?"

The owner said "Ah" and said tentatively: "Not long ago, three or five days ago?"

I wonder if this is the answer the official wants to hear.Seeing Xu Zhiliu put down the file with a slightly gloomy expression, the owner's heart suddenly sank.

"Go ahead. Don't mention the fact that I summoned you today to anyone."

"Yes, yes, the villain obeys."

The owner of the museum breathed a sigh of relief and thought that there was no need to remind him. He didn't want to add to the trouble. The devil would suffer when gods fight!Thinking that he would thank the God of Wind and Fire for blessing him when he returned, he disappeared mumbling.

As the daylight shifted a little bit, in the quiet room, Xu Zhiliu continued to sort out the mountains of files. He flipped through the files and sorted them out. He really had no clue, so he simply asked people from the sixth room to come in and ask them one by one. Finally, he came to the conclusion. to one place.

Xu Zhiliu frowned and said sternly: "Where is County Magistrate Zhang?"

Since he took office, except for Zhang Wensi, who showed up briefly on the first day, he has not appeared again since then.The people in the six rooms looked at each other.After a long time, he pushed out the leader and replied in a low voice: "The county magistrate is doing some Qing Xiu in the Taoist temple." Xu Zhiliu was almost angry to death.

In the final analysis, this messy mood does not lie with Zhang Wensi, but - did she finally accept the benefits of Ning Shao Guild Hall and use this "cloud in the sky" to use her power for personal gain?
Doesn’t she have no interest in power?
fraud.

big liar.

In the evening, Wu Yin became a gentleman again, climbed over the courtyard wall, and found a brightly lit bedroom in the backyard of the county government office.This was originally the temporary office of the Fuliang County Government in Jingdezhen. It was a little cramped and crowded to enter the two courtyards where meetings were held and daily life was required. Therefore, Xu Zhiliu was still the same as when he was at Hutian Kiln, only using one of them to make it more convenient. The spacious room is divided into two parts through a screen, one half is used as a study and the other half is used as a bedroom, so that work and rest can be done without delay.

A few chairs were placed in the front hall of the study to receive guests.

Wu Yin always thought that this place was small and not as big as Wu Jia's embroidery building.If Wu Jiaruo comes here, she will definitely be more exaggerated than him, pointing everywhere, not liking this or that, and then help to buy them all without explanation, replacing them all with her favorite ornaments, bottles, step-down bed, imperial concubine's couch, curtains, chests, etc. .

As he thought about it, a wry smile appeared on Wu Yin's lips.

"You don't know how annoying that boy from the Sun family is. He's like a bee buzzing around my ears, making me dizzy. How do I know why Wu Jia doesn't like him? Besides, everything about children and marriages is within the family. His father has already agreed to the decision, so what’s the use if he refuses to let go?”

It's okay if you don't let go, why bother with him?Wu Yin cried sadly, "Do I look like an elder brother who can make decisions for my sister?"

Xu Zhiliu was still sorting through the unfinished files in the afternoon, listening to his complaints and making no response.After Wu Yin talked for a while, his frustration was relieved, and then he realized something was wrong.

The room seemed too quiet.

He moved to stand in front of the bookcase, stared at Xu Zhiliu for a long time, and then said, "Are you unhappy?"

"No." Xu Zhiliu replied.

"You do." Wu Yin affirmed.

Xu Zhiliu gave up his defense.

Wu Yin sighed again, leaning half of his body next to the desk, using his arm to block Xu Zhiliu's view of flipping through the files.Xu Zhiliu was forced to raise his head and look at him.

"Let's get down to business." Wu Yin looked a little more solemn, "I asked Wu Jia what happened at Puji Temple today, and she told me everything."

Xu Zhiliu was slightly surprised: "Have you already said it?"

Wu Yin responded "Yes" as loudly as a mosquito.

"I am a brother who is not very dedicated, right? Although I have known for a long time that she does not want to get married, maybe it is not just Sun Hao, but I thought this was just a natural reaction of shyness or fear in my daughter's family. I did not expect her to be so determined. , I would rather destroy my innocence...Thank you for stopping her in time."

Xu Zhiliu pushed away his hand that was pressing on the file, stood up and walked to the window.

"Thanks isn't what you want to tell me, right?"

Wu Yin was speechless.

After a while, he also walked to the window.

The two stood side by side, looking at the sky above Jingdezhen. White smoke was steaming and firelight was scattered everywhere.This is a scene that cannot be seen anywhere in the world. It can only be seen in Jingdezhen.

Tall chimneys, fires burning all over the sky.

After struggling on the edge of death countless times, this was the scene that appeared in Xu Zhiliu's chaotic consciousness.

Wu Yin finally spoke in embarrassment: "Actually...Actually, Wu Jia may not have unintentional intentions. If you do too, I, I..."

"Are you crazy?"

Xu Zhiliu interrupted him.

He had no way of imagining the tutoring of this brother and sister. It was almost completely different from the aristocratic family he imagined.What exactly did Wu Fangyuan teach? Each one was more outrageous than the last.

Wu Jia, a girl, was forced to be helpless and her mind was not clear. Why did Wu Yin also hit his head?What's more, the current situation is no longer the same as before. If there were only ways to solve Sun Hao's problem, why would it be like this?

"You clearly know that I am not the real Zhou Qiguang and that my identity is false. Impersonating a court official is a capital crime. Once exposed, the whole family will die. Even so, you still want to..."

"So what?!" Wu Yin said, "I don't care what your identity is. I only know that you are my brother. I don't care who Wu Jia marries. In this case, I might as well marry you! As for the rest, fake identity My father helped you create it, if something happens, none of us will be able to escape, and you don’t have to think about severing ties with the Wu family."

"you……"

"What am I? I have nothing to say, right?" Wu Yin retorted confidently, having never felt so happy before, "Do you really think I'm a fool? Would I bring up such an important matter to you without thinking? Since that's the case I have already made it clear. Can you give me an accurate answer? If you agree, I will immediately write to my mother and ask her to make the decision. With her coming forward, she will surely be able to convince my father. It is really not possible to let Wu Jia cry and make a fuss. , everything can be done right or left."

Xu Zhiliu was speechless by what he said, and subconsciously said: "No!"

Seeing Wu Yin glaring at him, he would not give up until he told Wu Yinmao.He calmed down his thoughts and managed to speak: "Are you, you, have you lost your mind? It's unreasonable!"

Wu Yin laughed angrily at him: "With your extraordinary eloquence as the talented Xu, you can't do more than just half a sentence, right? Are you unwilling?"

Xu Zhiliu was quiet for a moment and nodded: "Yes."

"Why?"

Xu Zhiliu turned around.

Wu Yin followed closely, and the shocking words he almost blurted out were chattering in his teeth, but he still couldn't help but made a sharp tip: "You, you won't still treat that boy... Yu, Yu Qingwei..." Say no. Down!

Wu Yin knew that the situation was strange, how could two men do it?He couldn't say anything, he just looked at Xu Zhiliu's eyes and his expression gradually changed.

Xu Zhiliu was inexplicably unhappy all afternoon, but Wu Yin gave him a few blows and made him fall into submission.He glanced at Wu Yin slowly and clearly uttered a few words: "She is a woman."

what! ! !
Wu Yin didn't realize anything until he climbed over the wall, rode half a stick of incense into the wind, and fell down on the familiar and soft big bed when he got home.

So, did he admit it?I've had feelings for her before, but my feelings are still lingering?
