MTL - The Fugitive White Moonlight of a Powerful Minister-Chapter 38

  Chapter 38

  The wind is like an arrow, and Pei You only found out when he galloped down Chang'an Street with his whip whipped. The dream just now made his underwear soaked in sweat.

  At this time, the quiet capital city is the same as in the dream, except that besides Gu Fei, Wang Qinsheng is following behind him.

  He had no time to think about the weird dream, and rushed all the way to the palace.

   Seeing that dilapidated scene again, his fists were still clenched, and the guards of the Duke's Mansion also knelt on the ground as in the dream, but the location was not consistent with the dream.

  In the dream, most of the guards were gathered in front of Wang Qinsheng's room, but now most of the guards are in front of Wang Fu and Mrs. Wang's room. Pei You paused a little before going to Wang Qinsheng's room, and turned around.

  Before he passed by, someone was the first to speak: "My lord, please forgive me!"

  He saw two charred corpses in the yard from a distance, the coolness ran up his back, and his legs seemed to be grabbed by the charred ground on the ground.

   "Master!" Wang Qinsheng's tearful cry sounded in the silent night, "Madam!"

  He rushed to the place surrounded by the guards like an arrow, and when he saw the two charred corpses, he was too timid to go forward. He looked back at Pei You who was not far away, with a sad and panicked expression.

  Pei You felt pain in the corner of his forehead again, and the needles were pierced into his temples carefully and densely.

  He closed his eyes heavily, then opened them again, the fundus of his eyes were bright red like blood, and finally walked in slowly.

   This scene is also quite different from the dream. In the dream, the three of them probably wanted to protect each other and were entangled with each other, and they couldn't be separated when they were carried out. At this time, the two corpses on the ground were lying flat on the stretcher, as if they had not experienced any pain during their lifetime.

  Pei You stepped over.

  The white jade bracelet on the wrist was also smoked black, but...

  He knelt down to hold the hand of the female corpse.

   "My lord..." Wang Qinsheng was already kneeling beside him, tears streaming down his face.

  Pei You put down that hand and went to look at the male corpse again.

The male corpse, like the female corpse, had already been burnt badly. Seeing Pei You's expression, Wang Qinsheng's eyes showed a loneliness that he had never seen before, and his face was almost transparent. She went to her knees and wanted to persuade him, but saw his tense body loosen suddenly, and he rushed to help him: "Young master!"

   "No problem."

  Pei You's voice was low and hoarse, her lips were also white, and the coldness in her eyes became lighter. She took two steps back and respectfully kowtowed three times to the two corpses.

  At this time, Wen Ning was not sleeping soundly. After all, she was still thinking about the fire. She wondered if the royal residence tonight would also catch fire unexpectedly like in her previous life.

  So an arrow pierced through the air, and when it hit the side of her bed, she immediately opened her eyes.

  Getting up and looking into the night, there was indeed a small arrow with a note tied to it.

  It was the first time for her to see such a method of sending messages, and she felt that what was said in the scripture book was somewhat believable. There really was such a capable person who could shoot arrows accurately without entering the room.

  She didn't want to wake Linglan up, so she didn't turn on the lamp. Fortunately, the moonlight was clear, so she took off the note and unfolded it by the window. The writing on it was very clear.

   "As you wish."

   "Tomorrow, I'll go to Yichun Garden again."

  Wen Ning read these two sentences three times. "As you wish", it can be seen that there was indeed a fire in the palace tonight, and they also rescued the three master and servant as she entrusted.

  But why is there still "tomorrow Shenshi Yichunyuan will be recounted"? It stands to reason that this transaction is completed, and they will forget each other in the rivers and lakes from then on.

   Could it be that something went wrong in the middle?

  Wen Ning tore up the paper, then melted the writing on it with tea, and even threw the tea and paper out of the window.

  In the king's house, Jingzhao Fu Yin led people to come overnight, and within half an hour, he found out the cause of the water leakage.

   "My lord, according to the traces of the fire, it started from the owner's bedroom. A square table in the middle was completely burned. It must be that the candlestick was overturned. The Wangs and his wife were sleeping soundly, so they didn't notice it."

  Pei You stood beside Jingzhao Mansion Yin, and said in a low voice: "My parents don't have the habit of lighting candles all night."

He has been recognized by the Duke's Mansion. The term "father and mother" is not appropriate. Yin Duanyong of Jingzhao Mansion was stunned for a moment, thinking that he was guilty of his adoptive parents, and said respectfully: "My son, the Wang family is in Beijing. For many years, have you ever had a feud with anyone?"

  Pei You cast down his eyes: "Not at all."

Duan Yong had been working in Jingzhao Mansion for nearly ten years when he was not confused, and Pei You understood what he meant in just a few words, and immediately cupped his hands and said: "My son, please rest assured, I will definitely respect and kiss you, and put an end to the fire tonight." Check it out clearly, give the two elders an explanation!"

   "Thank you." Pei You saluted indifferently.

  Duan Yong watched the Duke's Mansion leave and touched his chin thoughtfully.

  This son who grew up among the people is not easy to deal with.

   Coming in a hurry, Pei You rode on horseback. When he came out of the palace, the carriage had already parked at the door and waited for him.

  Wang Qinsheng didn't know how to ride a horse, so he got into the carriage with him. When he was outside, he cared about Pei You's decency, so he held back and didn't dare to cry. When he got into the carriage and it was only him and Pei You, he couldn't help it anymore, wiped his tears with his sleeve, and began to cry.

  If I had known... If I had known that he shouldn't be staying in the Duke's mansion tonight, he should have rushed back. If he was there, maybe he could save the old lady?

  The more he thought about it, the more he blamed himself, and finally burst into tears.

  Pei You didn't look at him, and didn't even seem to hear his cry. He just looked at the curtain on the car window lightly, and rubbed his fingertips unconsciously.

  If Wang Qinsheng were more sober at this time, he would find that his young master was unusually calm, and he didn't even express any sorrow for his parents' death. He just sat quietly in the carriage, as if sunk in another world.

-

  Wen Ning's toe was not broken as expected, after returning home that day and rubbing the medicine, the next day it was much better.

  By today, the swelling has completely subsided.

  But she was strongly opposed by Linglan when she wanted to go out.

   "Girl! You came back in such a mess when you went out last time, this time you are determined not to go out again!" Linglan was arrogant for a rare time, she put her hips on her hips and refused to take men's clothes for Wen Ning, "If you want to go out, you must take me with you."

  In a place like Yichun Garden, how could it be possible to bring Linglan.

  She didn't do anything, Wen Ning went to get the clothes by herself.

   "Girl!" Linglan had nothing to do with her, stomping her feet and calling her.

  Wen Ning said while changing her clothes: "It's really the last time. After this time, I will definitely never go out of my way, and I will never do these outrageous things again."

"But…"

   "Don't worry, I won't drink alcohol today, and I will be back within an hour." Wen Ning just happened to have a hat, turned around and left.

  Linglan stomped her feet helplessly again, really... there is no way!

  Wen Ning arrived at Yichun Garden on time, there were no guests at this hour, the girls greeted her as soon as they saw her. She reported the code word directly to the old bustard, and was immediately taken to the last wing.

  Finally, she didn't need to wait any longer this time. The slightly sickly thin boy had already made tea and was waiting for her.

   "How was yesterday?" Wen Ning asked directly as she sat down.

  Master Yi poured her a cup of tea, raised his eyebrows and said with a smile, "Miss, drink some tea first?"

  Wen Ning looked at his smile, and looked at him suspiciously: "Did you miss it?"

   "Miss, what are you talking about?" Mr. Yi said with a slight smile, "If you can't do such a thing, wouldn't it be a blow to Mr. Yichun's brand?"

  Oh, it turns out that his full name is Mr. Yichun.

   "Everyone was rescued? Sent away from the capital?"

"nature."

   "Then why did you invite me over?" Wen Ning asked.

Mr. Yichun twirled the teacup twice with his fingertips, and the smile deepened on the corner of his mouth, and he said: "Although I don't know the relationship between the girl and the Wang's house, and the Zhuangyuan Lang, but since the girl spends a lot of money to save people, right now... I have a piece of news here, which must be extremely valuable to the girl."

  Wen Ning squinted at him: "Then tell me."

  Master Yichun took a sip of tea and said casually, "Miss, this is another price."

   Sure enough!

  Wen Ning let out a cold snort in her heart, and she knew that this young man who valued money like his life called her here for something else.

   "Since the girl is a regular customer, I can give the girl a discount." Mr. Yichun added in a timely manner.

  Although she didn't intend to spend the money, Wen Ning subconsciously asked after hearing the "discount", "How much?"

   "Five thousand taels."

  Wen Ning almost spit out the tea in her mouth, did she take her for a fool? What kind of broken news is worth five thousand taels? Also discounted? !

   "No need." Wen Ning swallowed the tea in her mouth, "Farewell."

  Anyway, as long as people are saved, if there is any news, it is related to Pei You, so she doesn't want to know.

   "Three thousand taels."

  Master Yichun even lowered the price on his own initiative.

  But I’m sorry, her entire net worth is only 1,500 taels, and the bank note is still in Wen’s residence, so she can’t afford 3,000 taels.

   "One thousand five hundred taels." Seeing that she hadn't stopped walking, Mr. Yichun said again.

  Wen Ning will regret it very much in the future, she should buy this news! But at this moment, she only had one thought in her mind: Yichun Garden can be negotiated! And can you talk so much? What about people from the rivers and lakes who are said to be unrestrained, unrestrained, and innocent? !

  The list of five thousand taels can be reduced to one thousand five hundred taels, so wouldn't she lose two thousand five hundred taels of the previous four thousand taels? ? ? ! !

  Not wanting to wait for her to arrive at the door, Mr. Yichun said with a cold voice: "One thousand taels, it can't be lowered."

   One thousand taels! She abruptly lost three thousand taels!

  The blood in Wen Ning's heart was rushing.

  Don't mention one thousand taels, she shouldn't spend more than one tael on Pei You!

  She didn't turn her head back, and went straight out of the wing room, leaving Mr. Yichun in the room with a look of astonishment.

   This little girl seems to be unworldly and generous, but she is not willing to spend another thousand taels for a piece of news worth far more than five thousand taels?

   Miscalculation Miscalculation.

   Actually let him make a loss-making business.

  He sighed and took out the silk cloth in his sleeve.

   It came last night, and there were only two sentences written on it.

  The first sentence: "Walking through water is man-made arson."

  Second round: "To avoid arousing suspicion, two corpses of similar stature have been found to replace them."

   Tsk tsk, since the little girl doesn't want to...

  He pulled out the fire folder and approached the silk cloth. In a breath, the silk cloth and the characters on it were reduced to ashes.

  Whether this arson and murder can be discovered depends on God's will.
