The Fugitive White Moonlight of a Powerful Minister

  Chapter 158 Who wants your He Lishu? !

  Back then, because of those bushes, Wen Ning scolded Boss Qian eight hundred times if not a thousand times.

  At the beginning, they found an excuse to say that "Stone Ying" and "Cong Shu" were mixed together, and it would take ten and a half months to separate, which delayed the delivery time. When she really paid eight thousand taels, he said that he searched for someone all night and separated the two medicines. In the end, Shi Ying was Shi Ying, and the bushes were bushes, all innocence.

   "There is no profiteering, no business, I'll say, this person must have done it on purpose." At that time, Duan Rushuang looked at the medicinal materials in the warehouse, so said.

  This matter has been kept from He Luan, but Duan Rushuang knows it well, so Wen Ning never imagined that the shortage of medicine would be on the head of "Cong Shu".

  Did Duan Rushuang not know about this? Didn't they tell the court that they have half a warehouse of bushes?

   And what about Boss Qian? She bought so many bushes from him, and he didn't report it to the court? !

  Wen Ning, who was far away in the south of the Lingnan, would naturally not know about it. Jingzhong kept the news about the epidemic strictly hidden. Duan Rushuang opened the door of the medicine workshop warehouse as soon as the government collected the medicinal materials, and handed over all the medicinal materials.

  But the warehouse where Wen Ning stored the stoneflies and bushes was in another place, and she didn't know what Wen Ning spent a lot of money to buy those medicinal materials for, so she didn't report it without authorization.

  Boss Qian, on the other hand, believed that Wen Ning was Prince Pei's concubine, and Prince Pei was solely responsible for controlling the epidemic. How could he dare to say anything more without knowing whether there was anything tricky about it?

  The little girl outside the room really hated Wen Ning, especially after a fight with her.

  But when Wen Ning said that she had a bush, even if she had doubts, she didn't dare to delay for a moment, and immediately went to find someone to pass the message.

   Not long after, the official station, which had been quiet for more than half a month, finally had a human voice.

  Wen Ning ran to the door as soon as she heard the sound of the horse.

  At that moment, she had changed her clothes, cleaned her face, and combed her hair again.

  She thought she could finally get out of this wing, but she didn't want to see the figure at the door, and only reached the door.

  The door was not opened.

   "Pei You?" Wen stared at the shadow cast on the door, and for some reason, his throat choked up.

  The shadow didn't move, it was silent for a moment, and a familiar voice came into the room: "Wen Ning, this is not a child's play, do you really have a 'bush tree'?"

   Still his usual tone, clear and without emotion.

Wen Ning suppressed the soreness in her heart: "Really, I didn't lie to you. Quickly send a message to Jingzhong. Duan Rushuang knows where my warehouse is. Are you really short of trees? How much? My place... I There are quite a few there, so it should be enough.”

  Not only does she have a lot of them, Boss Qian sent her several years of inventory together, which is more than the stone Ying she originally wanted to stockpile.

   "Why do you hoard bushes?"

   "I didn't hoard it on purpose. I bought Shi Ying at that time, and the boss sold it to me for the money."

  Pei You was silent.

   "Pei You, we can talk after you let me out?" Wen Ning pressed against the door frame and patted the door lightly, "Pei You, I want to go out."

   There was another silence.

   "Peiyou, let me go out." Wen Ning said in a soft voice, "I will cooperate with you when I go out, and won't cause trouble for you, and won't let them know my identity, and won't cause trouble for you, okay?"

  Pei You didn't answer.

   After a long time, he said in a low voice: "Wen Ning, be good and stay in Beijing..."

  He paused: "I'll give you Li Shu."

   "Who wants your He Lishu?!" Wen Ning suddenly became angry, "You open the door! You didn't hear a lot of what I said to you that night. I have something to tell you, so let me out!"

  Pei You's shadow moved, but he obviously took two steps back.

   "Peiyou, are you trying to **** me off?!" Wen Ning's eyes turned red anxiously, "When the 'Congshu' arrives, it will be safe and sound! You let me out first, I can help some way!"

  The shadow outside the door froze slightly.

   It turns out that she understands everything.

  It was noon at this time, and the sun outside was fierce, making the front porch of this corner room extraordinarily shady.

  Pei You wore a blue and white gown, and the wooden hair crown made him look more stable. After coming to the southwest for more than half a month, he has lost some weight, and his figure looks particularly pleasing.

  At this moment, he was three or four steps away from the door, his brows and eyes lowered slightly, and there was rarely a gentle color in his dark eyes.

   "Pei You?" Wen Ning was still knocking on the door, "Pei You, open the door for me!"

  Pei You raised his eyes, glanced at the tiny palm print on the door frame, and moved his index finger on the sleeve, but in the end it just clenched into a fist.

   Without taking another look or speaking, he turned around and left.

   "Peiyou, you bastard! Just wait for me!" Wen Ning's angry shout followed.

  Pei You walked faster, and lowered her eyebrows and eyes, but the corners of her tightly pursed lips finally relaxed.

   And when he walked out of the official post and raised his eyes again, the eyes that had been dark for half a month had a sharp light again.

  I thought it would be a difficult battle, but I didn't want to turn around.

  He took out the eagle whistle in his sleeve, and soon, the whistle sounded in the deserted and remote street.

   Xie Jiajun can't be trusted, and none of the people in the capital are trustworthy.

-

   No one knows what happened.

  The lack of food and medicine in Lingnan is about to turn into a frog that can no longer stay in the warm water, and the superficial "order" can no longer be maintained.

The food from the imperial court has not been delivered for a long time, and the scarce "cong trees" have not been collected for a long time. If it were not for the officials sent by the imperial court, none of them had left, and even the highly respected Prince Pei had been on the front line of Wuxi, The common people couldn't hold back for a long time.

  But overnight, the major cities received food one after another. Although it was not much, it was enough for half a month's ration.

  After seven days, a large number of "trees" seemed to fall from the sky.

  The thirteen cities in south of the Five Ridges, and even Yizhou, which has a slight spillover, have received sufficient medicinal materials.

   This is more unexpected and surprising than the arrival of food!

  For a while, there were rumors about "Pei Shizi" in Lingnan.

  No one knows how he did such an incredible thing, but it is almost said that he is a fairy in the sky, who came down to save sentient beings.

   "In my opinion, the son of the world is the appearance of a heavenly man, maybe he is really the reincarnation of a **** in the sky!"

  Wen Ning intuitively felt the improvement of the situation outside.

  Because outside the door of her room, there are no longer people only when meals are delivered, but people are guarding from morning till night. There was even more than one person guarding her, two girls came from one left and one right.

  Although the three meals a day are still light and simple, there are not many tricks, but the attitude of the food delivery person is completely different.

  In the past, he always went in and out with a sullen face, looking at her like a prisoner, and would never talk to her easily. But in the past few days, the expression of the food delivery person is obviously much lighter, and there is no need for her to strike up a conversation. The two girls can chat happily outside.

"That's right, where did the gods get so much food and medicine?" The other girl's voice was full of admiration, and she spat, "It's not like the one in there. Stealing chickens and dogs to make ill-gotten gains!"

Hello! Why did he talk about it so well on her head?

   And what happened to her? How did she sneak around to earn ill-gotten gains?

  Wuxi sent the first truckload of life-saving medicinal materials, okay? ! The "bush tree" that fell from the sky was also just stocked up by her kindness and good luck, right? !

  If she was reluctant to part with the eight thousand taels of silver, would Lingnan still be where it is today? !

  Wen Ning angrily slapped the chopsticks on the table.

  The little girl who had "quarreled" with her before disappeared that day, and a new person came in. Naturally, she didn't know that the "bush tree" came from her.

  So she became a small drug dealer who "don't try to rely on high-priced medicinal materials to make a fortune in Wuxi".

Son of a bitch.

   "Where's Pei You?!" Wen Ning knocked on the door very familiarly, "Ask Pei You to come see me!"

   She has even now mastered how to slam the door louder without her hands hurting as much.

   "Tell that **** to come see me!" Wen Ning has long since lost her image, after all, she is a small drug dealer with no integrity, "Dog officer! Bastard! Tell him to never come to see me if he has the ability!"

  It has been more than half a month since she told him that there are "bush trees" in the capital.

  If he had sufficient manpower and had not been hindered, the "congshu" should have been transported from the capital to the cities in the south of the Lingnan, and Wuxi would needless to say.

   Once the "bush tree" arrives, the epidemic can be brought under control. She also learned from the conversation of the two little girls that the food in the city had been settled. Although she didn't know where Pei You got the food a few days ago, the relief food from the imperial court was about to enter the city.

  The situation has improved visibly with the naked eye, but she is still locked up here.

  He didn't let her go out, and he didn't come to see her, as if she was really just a "little drug dealer" who waited for him to finish his business and then brought her back to the capital for interrogation.

   "You can just stay inside!" A girl outside answered her, "I have never seen a prisoner with a better life than you. Are you not satisfied?"

"That's right! It's because we, Prince Pei, are benevolent, because you brought a load of herbs into the city anyway, so we didn't imprison you in the yamen dungeon, and served you with good food and drink. If you scold me again, be careful and we will sue you. Charge you with the crime of insulting the official of the imperial court, so that you can't bear it and walk around!"

  Wen Ning was really going to die of anger.

  In the next few days, she stopped mentioning Pei You, and instead said that she wanted to see Wen Lan and He Luan, but she was still rejected.

   "This little pharmacist has put in a lot of effort, and he actually knows Mrs. Wen and Dr. He." The two girls were in a better mood, chatting outside from time to time.

  Wen Ning lay on the bed and held her forehead.

   She really...

Impressed.

  When Wen Ning was finally freed, she had already stayed in this wing that seemed to be isolated from the world for a month and a half.

  She saw with her own eyes that the sunlight shining into the room in the evening was getting longer and longer, and the night outside was getting later and later. When she came, there seemed to be voices of people near the desolate official post, and it even faintly began to become lively.

  Her three meals were gradually enriched, and even one day, a plate of pastries was delivered.

   It was an afternoon.

  The time has turned from midsummer to midsummer, and the room is very stuffy.

  That day, two little girls brought in an ice mirror, which was filled with all kinds of southwestern-style fruits. When it was delivered, they said a few words about her good life. I have never seen any prisoner treated like this.

  Wen Ning was too lazy to strike up a conversation with them, and didn't bother to care what they said, so she pierced the little man's head that she had just embroidered with an embroidery needle.

  At noon, two unfamiliar men came in and opened the window that had been sealed for more than a month.

  The sun shines in, and the fresh air brings the vitality of the whole street into the wing room that has been silent for a long time.

   In the afternoon, there were horses and chariots parked at the gate of the official post.

  The people seem to know who is coming.

  The remote streets are bustling like never before, and I just wish I couldn't wait to meet them.

  Wen Ning did not look down, but closed the window that had been opened with great difficulty.

  The lively voices spread from the street to the official post, and gradually quieted down when they reached the second floor.

  She heard unhurried footsteps approaching, and the two girls outside shouted in surprise, "I have seen you, sir", and then the door of the wing room was pushed open.

   Without any hesitation, Wen Ning grabbed the teacup in hand and slammed it towards the door.

  The person who came came quickly dodged, bang—

   It hit the forehead of Wen Lan who was right behind.
