Chapter 30: An Unexpected Surprise

The night is dark, the courtyard is quiet, the moonlight is pouring wantonly, the starlight is flickering slightly, everything seems so quiet, and at this moment in the study, Pei Ziyu is asking Chengyuan......

Pei Ziyu: "I asked you to check, but what clues are there?" ”

Chengyuan: "My lord, my subordinates have inquired according to what you said, but in this city of Hangzhou, whether it is a fortune teller who is a sixtieth or a well-informed beggar on the street, I have never heard of any Gu art or legends about digging out the heart." ”

Pei Ziyu heard that there was still no clue at all, and he couldn't help frowning, "Could it really be that Li Mingyue is talking nonsense?" After a moment's hesitation, "Go down, let me think again." ”

Chengyuan: "Yes! ”

"Why don't you have a clue?" Pei Ziyu sat in front of the bookcase, holding his head with a fist with one hand, and gently pinching the mountain roots with the other, wanting to make himself more energetic, and then sighed, looked out the window, looked at the soft moon in the sky, and couldn't help but think of someone in his heart, so he simply stopped thinking about the case, pushed the door and walked out of the study, and walked towards Li Mingyue's residence......

In a moment, Pei Ziyu came to Li Mingyue's residence, and when he walked into the courtyard, he found that it was pitch black, and there was not even a lamp, so he thought it was a little strange, but at this time, a crisp voice came from the roof.

"Pei Ziyu!" Li Mingyue stood on the roof and shouted loudly, excitedly stomping small steps while beckoning Pei Ziyu to come up, but one didn't pay attention, suddenly his feet softened, his body lost his balance and began to swing back and forth, Pei Ziyu saw this and immediately flew up with light skills, stretched out his hand to wrap his hand around her waist, Li Mingyue stood firmly, and after a long breath, before she could speak, Pei Ziyu began to reproach her, "What kind of roof is on the big night?" It's dangerous! ”

Li Mingyue saw Pei Ziyu talking about himself with a fierce face, and suddenly looked like a tamed kitten, "I...... Just wanted to show you something......" He slowly pointed to the sky.

"Looking at things?" Pei Ziyu's face was full of doubts, and he looked in the direction of her finger, and then, with a sudden sound, gorgeous fireworks bloomed in the sky, and the sparse sparks jumped around, and then disappeared, and then another fireworks bloomed in the air, and gradually, there were more and more fireworks, lighting up the night sky, and also reflected in the deep eyes of the two people. Pei Ziyu let go of Li Mingyue, who was standing firmly, and looked intently at the colorful fireworks in the sky, while Li Mingyue took the opportunity to hold Pei Ziyu's hand and enjoy the colorful fireworks with him, and his eyes skimmed over from time to time to peek at Pei Ziyu's expression.

On the eaves, Li Mingyue and Pei Ziyu watched the fireworks, but they were busy squatting in the corner downstairs to set off the fireworks, just as Xiao Tao was lighting the fireworks one after another, a hand suddenly reached out in the dark, grabbed her wrist holding the flint, Xiao Tao looked in the direction of the hand in horror, only to see the man take a step forward, and the fireworks that exploded in the sky instantly illuminated his face, Xiao Tao stared at it carefully, it turned out to be Chengyuan.

"Scared me to death, I thought it was who, let go of my hand, I want to hurry up and renew the fireworks." When Xiao Tao saw Chengyuan, the heart that was about to jump to his throat just now instantly regained his calmness, but Chengyuan didn't let go, but just said: "This is Lord Pei's mansion, how did you bring these forbidden items in?" ”

As soon as Xiao Tao heard that Cheng Yuan was going to interrogate her, her eyes were rolling around, and her expression began to panic, and then she had an idea, so she pretended to be calm and pushed Cheng Yuan's hand that was holding her away, "Oops! These don't matter, didn't you see that my young lady and your adult are watching fireworks on the eaves, if you don't let me hurry up and light it, it will sweep their interest for a while, you and I can't afford it, besides, isn't this Lord Pei also here, he didn't say anything, what are the two of us talking about here. As he spoke, he continued to squat down and lit the fireworks, and when Chengyuan was about to hold her hand again, Xiao Tao reached out and handed over a pack of fireworks and spare flints, "If you have nothing to do, just help me hold these, don't make any more trouble." Chengyuan, who looked confused, was speechless for a while by Xiao Tao, so he had to pestle there like a tool man and let Xiao Tao send.

"How? Looks good, do you like it? Li Mingyue looked at Pei Ziyu happily.

Pei Ziyu, who was watching with great interest, liked it very much in his heart, but it could be seen that Li Mingyue asked like this, so he put on an official frame of going to the court to try the prisoner and said: "If I remember correctly, I am not allowed to store fireworks and firecrackers in the governor's mansion, where did you get these things, huh?" As he spoke, Pei Ziyu leaned his face to Li Mingyue.

Li Mingyue saw that Pei Ziyu did not answer herself, but began to interrogate the origin of the fireworks, her heart couldn't help but tighten, and as Pei Ziyu approached, she instinctively leaned back, "What ......about this?"

"What......" said Pei Ziyu also leaned forward, and the two got closer.

At this time, Li Mingyue was desperately thinking about how to lie in order to round things over, Pei Ziyu's step-by-step questioning, couldn't help but make Li Mingyue instinctively step back, but the crooked eaves made Li Mingyue's already tilted body begin to sway again, Pei Ziyu saw that Li Mingyue was about to stand unstable again, so he quickly reached over and hugged her waist tightly, "This is the roof, not the ground, be careful." ”

was said by Pei Ziyu, Li Mingyue instantly found the bottom of the steps, so she quickly changed the topic and said: "Yes, yes, yes, we have to be careful, why don't we stand, let's sit down quickly." ”

Saying that, Li Mingyue pushed Pei Ziyu away with both hands, sat down, and then hurriedly pointed to the sky with her fingers, "Look, the moonlight is so beautiful tonight, let's sit down and enjoy the moon." Hearing Li Mingyue say this, Pei Ziyu couldn't help but be amused by her blunt way of changing the topic, just shook his head helplessly and smiled, and then sat down and stopped asking about the fireworks.

After the two sat quietly for a while, Li Mingyue felt that it was too quiet, so she wanted to find some topics, and when she saw the Big Dipper in the sky, she pointed her finger and said, "Hey, do you know what those seven stars are called?" ”

Pei Ziyu looked at the sky and replied quietly: "You know, the Big Dipper, composed of seven bright stars, is like a vessel for wine. It can be used to distinguish the four seasons, and the book "The Crown of the Bird" says: "The bucket handle refers to the east, and the world is spring; The bucket handle refers to the south, and the world is summer; The bucket handle refers to the west, and the world is autumn; The north finger of the bucket handle, the world is winter. ’”

Li Mingyue, who wanted to popularize astronomical knowledge to Pei Ziyu, didn't expect Pei Ziyu to know more than himself, and he didn't expect the ancients to have such a deep understanding and research of the Big Dipper, so he couldn't help but sigh to Pei Ziyu: "I didn't expect you to know a lot." ”

Pei Ziyu turned his face and said with a disdainful face: "That's natural, today's saints respect Taoism, and Taoists have a lot of research on the Big Dipper, and worship the Big Dipper as a god, so the people of the whole country naturally have some understanding of the Big Dipper." The book "Seven Signatures of the Seven Stars" once said: "The first star of the Big Dipper is called Tianshu, the second star is called Tianxuan, the third star is called Tianji, the fourth star is Tianquan, the fifth star is Yuheng, the sixth star is called Minyang, and the seventh star is called Shaoguang." And our lives are also controlled by the star to which these seven stars belong. Speaking of this, a flash of inspiration suddenly occurred in Pei Ziyu's mind, "Yes, why didn't I think of it, maybe the murder is related to these!" ”

"Murder? What does it have to do with it? Stars? Li Mingyue looked puzzled.

Just as Li Mingyue looked at Pei Ziyu with a puzzled expression, Pei Ziyu hugged her excitedly, "Mingyue, great, thank you for reminding me!" ”

"Me?" Li Mingyue became more and more confused.

At this time, Pei Ziyu pulled Li Mingyue up and took her down from the house with light skills.

In the corner, Chengyuan was sitting on the ground, leaning against the corner of the wall to guard, while Xiao Tao was already asleep on his shoulder. After seeing Pei Ziyu pulling Li Mingyue down from the room, he immediately got up from the ground and walked quickly towards Pei Ziyu, while Xiao Tao was brought to the ground by his series of movements.

Chengyuan: "My lord! ”

Pei Ziyu: "You came just in time, come with me to the Yamen." After Chao Chengyuan finished speaking, Pei Ziyu turned around and said to Li Mingyue in a gentle tone: "You rest early, I have something important to deal with." ”

Although Li Mingyue didn't know that Pei Ziyu suddenly remembered something, she could see that it was related to the murder, so she said obediently: "Oh." After speaking, Pei Ziyu turned around and left.

At this time, Xiao Tao slowly got up from the ground, dusted off the dust on her body with her hands, rubbed the fireworks to her sore shoulders, complained, and slowly walked to Li Mingyue's side, "This Chengyuan, I didn't say a word in advance when I got up, I fell to death." ”

Xiao Tao: "Miss, you and Master Pei are sitting well on the eaves, why did Master Pei suddenly leave in such a hurry?" Don't...... Are you upsetting Master Pei again? ”

Li Mingyue was looking at Pei Ziyu's distant back stupidly, but she was suddenly pulled back to her senses by Xiao Tao's words, and said angrily: "In your eyes, I just make others angry?" Well? ”

"You, not only do you make others angry, but you always like to make trouble for others." Xiao Tao said with deep feelings.

"Xiao Tao~ Oh, okay, let's not talk about it, Pei Ziyu is going to the Yamen to do something, so he can't accompany me tonight," At this time, Li Mingyue noticed that Xiao Tao had been rubbing her shoulder, so she stretched out her hand and knocked on Xiao Tao's shoulder flatteringly, "Are you tired today?" Come, I'll give you a thump on the shoulder! ”

After knocking a few times, Xiao Tao suddenly realized something, dodged her body and stepped back, and asked tentatively, "You don't want me to do anything, do you?" ”

"No, no," Li Mingyue stepped forward and knocked on Xiao Tao's shoulder again, "You, don't make such a fuss, okay, I really see that you are very tired, and I want to beat your shoulders for you, come, it's cold outside, let's go inside." After speaking, he was going to pull Xiao Tao to the house.

Xiao Tao: "No need, no Miss, it's not early, you can rest early, Xiao Tao will go back to the house and sleep." ”

Li Mingyue: "Oh, come on~ Can you talk to me for a while, I can't sleep~"

"Huh? Still chatting, Miss, you're not tired, no, no, I'm so sleepy that I can't open my eyes, I'm going back to sleep. After speaking, Xiao Tao was about to walk towards her house, but Li Mingyue grabbed her cuffs and pulled her towards her house, "Come on, just for a while." Xiao Tao couldn't stand her own lady, so she was dragged into the house without love......
