Chapter 49: Arson

It's also a teahouse across the street from the bookstore.

It is still a wing room on the second floor facing the stage.

Xiao Er took tea and melon seeds and withdrew. Only Zhao Wanning and Pei Yue were left in the wing. Such a similar situation made Zhao Wanning have to remember that last time it was here, Zhao Wangjin proposed to her on behalf of Pei Yue, but she refused.

Unexpectedly, it was only less than a month, and she revisited the old place, still with Pei Yue.

It's really a trick.

The storyteller downstairs is telling a new story today. said that it was a loving couple, because of a misunderstanding of the separation of yin and yang, the wife and the newlywed wife passed away unexpectedly, and the husband followed her.

Zhao Wanning was sipping melon seeds, listening to the storyteller tell the story with relish, and at the same time, he could still divide his mind and talk to Pei Yue.

"What do you have to tell me?" Xu is remembering what happened last time, Zhao Wanning felt a little embarrassed, she kept looking ahead, not looking at Pei Yue.

Pei Yue was surprised. Zhao Wanning didn't call him Master Pei today, does this mean that his relationship with Zhao Wanning has become further? Pei Yue thought about Zhao Wanning's handkerchief in his heart, and suddenly felt very ironed in his heart.

Seeing that Pei Yue hadn't spoken, Zhao Wanning turned his head to look at him: "Didn't you say something to tell me?" Why didn't you say it all of a sudden? ”

Pei Yue's left hand kept rubbing the back of his right hand where he was injured last time.

Zhao Wanning's gaze was also attracted. She asked a little awkwardly, "Are your hands all right?" ”

"It's all right, county lord." Pei Yue raised his right hand and stretched out in front of Zhao Wanning: "You see, the wound has healed, and the doctor said that it was thanks to you for bandaging me in time at that time." ”

Pei Yue's fair-skinned right hand was lying on the back of his hand with two abrupt flesh-pink lines, perhaps because he had knocked to the sharpest part of the stairs, although the two wounds had healed, they left hideous scars, which were particularly dazzling on Pei Yue's fair-skinned and slender hands.

Zhao Wanning felt sorry for Pei Yue again.

As soon as Pei Yue saw Zhao Wanning's face showing a look of self-blame, he hurriedly comforted: "You don't have to worry, I have asked the doctor, and there will be no scars." ”

"It'll be gone in a few days, really!"

Zhao Wanning didn't speak, she searched in her mind that there should be some scar removal medicine in the eldest princess's mansion, wait for her to go back and find it, and then send it to Pei Yue.

After all, Pei Yue's hands are quite good-looking.

Seeing that Zhao Wanning was depressed, Pei Yue hurriedly changed the topic and said, "We have already arrested that Uncle Zhong." ”

As soon as she heard that Uncle Zhong Zhao Wanning immediately came to her senses, she said with great interest: "Did you catch it?" Can those children be saved? ”

Pei Yue shook his head, he looked around and asked, "Do you know about the Qingzhou flood?" ”

"I know, isn't it because of the Qingzhou flood that the family is broken and people have fled here." Zhao Wanning was a little puzzled, Pei Yue should know about it.

"I'm not talking about that." Pei Yue saw Zhao Wanning's puzzled expression, so he continued to explain: "Well, have you heard the rumors in the capital? It is said that the flood in Qingzhou is because the above has done something immoral, and the heavens have sent down punishment......" Pei Yue pointed to the top of his head.

Realizing that what Pei Yue said was referring to Emperor Shengde, Zhao Wanning hurriedly reached out to cover his mouth. "Don't you want to die? Dare to say anything! Zhao Wanning cautiously looked around, for fear that the wall would have ears and spread the matter. If you talk about the saints, you will lose your head.

Zhao Wanning's palms are very soft, plus she has been tonic recently, she has grown some flesh, and her fingers and palms have become fleshy.

And the body shape.

Pei Yue is a gentleman, he knows the truth that a gentleman should not be disrespectful and should not listen, but his eyes are always unconsciously attracted by Zhao Wanning. Her current life is very different from the previous life, and her personality, appearance, and body shape have changed a lot from the previous life.

At this moment, Zhao Wanning's hand was in front of Pei Yue's mouth. As long as he leaned forward slightly, his lips could touch Zhao Wanning's soft palm.

Zhao Wanning had probably just eaten pastries, and there was a sweet fragrance unique to pastries on her hands, which caused Pei Yue to can't help but want to get closer, closer.

Pei Yue's breathing became more and more rapid, and the warm breath hit Zhao Wanning's palm, waking Zhao Wanning up. Zhao Wanning realized that the posture between herself and Pei Yue was a little ambiguous at this time, so she quickly withdrew her hand and put it on her knees.

After Pei Yue won the top prize in the previous life, he always said some ambiguous things when only the two of them got along, which made Zhao Wanning shy. She didn't let Pei Yue say it, but Pei Yue said more and more as if she was going strong.

Zhao Wanning finally couldn't listen to it anymore, so he had to stretch out his hands to cover his mouth. Pei Yue became more and more excessive, and even stretched out his tongue and licked her palm.

As soon as he thought of this, Zhao Wanning's cheeks and ears quietly turned red.

Pei Yue also thought of his relationship with Zhao Wanning in his previous life, and his cheeks and ears were unconsciously hot.

The two men had the same thing in their hearts, and they were equally red cheeks and ears, not daring to look at each other.

In order to calm down, Pei Yue hurriedly picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip, wanting to suppress the red on his face. But I don't want the tea in the winter to be very hot, and the tea in Pei Yue's mouth is not to spit out or swallow.

If Zhao Wanning turned his head to look at Pei Yue at this moment, he could see Pei Yue, who had always been a gentleman, with a hideous expression at the moment.

But Zhao Wanning also felt embarrassed and didn't dare to look at Pei Yue. She grabbed the melon seeds on the table and swallowed them violently, but she didn't want one of the melon seeds to be moldy, and the bitterness of the moldy melon seeds filled her mouth in an instant.

Zhao Wanning frowned, didn't care about her image at all, quickly spit out the melon seeds in her mouth, and then picked up the tea on the table and wanted to rinse her mouth.

Pei Yue hurriedly swallowed the hot tea, and then reached out to stop Zhao Wanning.

Zhao Wanning frowned and looked at him puzzled.

"This tea is hot." Pei Yue explained that his tongue was still numb from the hot tea just now. "What's wrong? Have you eaten moldy melon seeds?

Zhao Wanning had a bitter face: "It's so bitter." ”

Pei Yue hurriedly took out a candy from the purse on his waist: "You first press the bitter taste." ”

Zhao Wanning took the candy from Shanruliu and put it in her mouth, but the sweetness of the candy still couldn't suppress the bitterness of the melon seeds.

Pei Yue was blowing with the teacup, wanting to cool down the tea in the cup as soon as possible.

It wasn't until he confirmed that the temperature of the tea was ready for consumption that Pei Yue brought the teacup to Zhao Wanning.

The candy in Zhao Wanning's mouth had already melted, and her mouth was mixed with the sweetness of candy and the bitterness of melon seeds, and the corners of her eyes and eyebrows were drooping. It's really unfortunate to slander yourself today.

Zhao Wanning took the tea cup in Pei Yue's hand and took a sip, although the temperature of the tea was still very high, it was already ready to eat. She rinsed her mouth several times with tea before finally removing the bitterness from her mouth.

The two remembered the chaos just now and smiled at each other.

After a while, Pei Yue opened his mouth to explain: "Don't worry. Outside the wing, my people are guarding, not afraid of anyone eavesdropping. ”

"How do you know that your people won't betray you." Zhao Wanning felt angry when she thought of her embarrassment just now. What made her even more angry was that her embarrassment just now was seen by Pei Yue. Zhao Wanning was annoyed and angry, but there was a bit of coquettishness in her words.

Pei Yue felt that her expression at the moment was too vivid, and couldn't help but smile: "The people outside the door are not from Dali Temple, they are Pei Zhen and Pei Yi." Their fathers were my father's men, and I grew up with them. ”

Of course, Zhao Wanning knew who Pei Zhen and Pei Yi were. She stiffened her neck and continued, "Master Pei's affairs don't need to be explained to me. ”

Pei Yue saw Zhao Wanning's angry appearance, but he felt cute. The two get along today as if they have returned to their previous lives.

In order to appease Zhao Wanning, Pei Yue took the initiative to admit his mistake and said: "It's my fault, it's me who talks too much, which annoys you." ”

Pei Zhen and Pei Yi, who were guarding the door, listened to the movement in the wing room and had a heart attack, they glanced at each other, and they all thought that the adults of his family were definitely strict wives.

"Okay, let's get down to business." Zhao Wanning said a little impatiently.

Pei Yue knew that she was coaxing. continued to get back to business: "The rumors outside, Lord Yan has already investigated, that is, our Dali Temple is strict. It's just that it's related to the above, and it's related to the Qingzhou flood, so we have to be cautious. Even Uncle Cha Zhong, who took us, became constrained, for fear that he would be careless and startle the snake. ”

"What then? Didn't you already arrest Uncle Zhong? ”

"Not a capture, to be precise, but a kidnapping."

"Kidnapping?" Zhao Wanning's eyes were full of shock: "You Dali Temple handle cases and catch bad people, why do you still kidnap them?" ”

Pei Yue touched his nose embarrassedly: "Extraordinary things, naturally we have to take extraordinary measures." ”

Zhao Wanning looked at Pei Yue, still shocked, and she gave Pei Yue a thumbs up.

"This Uncle Zhong was arrested, but the children in the yard didn't know how to save them. Uncle Zhong's subordinates are still watching over them, but we borrowed Uncle Zhong's mouth to leave a message, and we haven't let these children go out to beg for the past few days. ”

"The most tricky thing is that we have to rescue the children, but we can't let Uncle Zhong's men find out that these children were rescued by the government."

Zhao Wanning also fell into deep thought.

The storyteller in the audience happened to talk about the couple who were caught in a fire, and their home caught fire and their house was burned down.

Zhao Wanning had a flash of inspiration: "You can set fire!" ”

Pei Yue looked at Zhao Wanning.

Zhao Wanning explained: "Aren't Uncle Zhong's subordinates still watching the children in the courtyard? If it is freezing today, Uncle Zhong is not there. These subordinates must also want to be lazy and nest in the house. ”

"In winter, of course, you have to drink a little wine to warm up. You have people drugged them in their wine and then get the kids out after they've fallen asleep. ”

"When the children are in a safe place, they will set a fire in the yard, preferably all the yards, and then rescue the men. Externally, it is said that those subordinates got drunk and went crazy and accidentally set fire to the courtyard, and the children in the courtyard took the opportunity to escape. ”

"That way, no one knows that it was the people in the government who saved the children."

Pei Yue listened to Zhao Wanning's method, and felt that it was indeed a good way, not only to rescue these children, but also to prevent those subordinates from knowing that it was the government to interfere.

"It's just that there are a lot of these children, where are they going to go?" Pei Yue said: "There are at least 30 children. ”

"Yes......" Zhao Wanning originally wanted to say that she could live in the Eldest Princess's Mansion, but when she heard that there were more than thirty children, she silently shut up again. Three children were ok, more than thirty children...... The eldest princess is really not good.

She also fell silent with Pei Yue.

Pei Yue couldn't bear to see her sad, so he said, "This matter has to be discussed in the long run." ”

"How do you think about it in the long run?" Zhao Wanning said anxiously: "It's freezing this day, even if these children don't go out to beg for food, those people won't feed and clothe these children." In such cold weather, people will freeze to death. Even if you don't die, what if you get sick? Would those people be so kind to the children? Do you know how many days Ah Tao has been in bed before she can get out of bed? Do you know how many scars there are on her body? ”

Of course, Pei Yue knew that he needed to rescue these children as soon as possible, but now it was easy to rescue the children, but it was not easy to arrange these thirty or so children to a suitable place.

"Otherwise, let them go to Dali Temple." Pei Yue hesitated to speak.

Zhao Wanning had a person in his mind, and that person should be able to properly arrange this group of children.

"I know who can fix this." Zhao Wanning suddenly spoke: "There is no need to force you Dali Temple. ”

"Huh?" Pei Yue was surprised: "Who is it?" ”

"I won't tell you." Zhao Wanning was obviously disappointed in Pei Yue.

She was angry, and Pei Yue couldn't force her to speak, so she had to say: "If you really find someone who can arrange these children, then I will hurry back and arrange and rescue these children as soon as possible." ”

"This has to be done as soon as possible." Zhao Wanning said: "Arrange it as soon as possible after you go back, and let people tell me as soon as the date of the action is determined." I'll answer with you then. ”

"Good. If there's anything you need my help with, be sure to let me know. ”

"Huh." Zhao Wanning snorted coldly: "Don't dare to bother you, my lord." ”
