Autumn is getting colder, and the small courtyard is full of fallen leaves.

In the house of the princess of Wenjun Wangfu County, there is some faint yellow between the windows.

Fangzi took silver scissors to cut the wick on the table shorter, and then closed the door and went out. All that remained in the room was the faint shadow of the candle.

Pei Yunshu sat on the edge of the couch, gently shaking the cradle in her hand, the baby girl in the cradle slept sweetly, but half a month, the wrinkled appearance grew, white and tender, full appearance, except for being extremely thin, there was no indication that she had not given birth at full term.

Pei Yunshu smiled: "Look at her, she is asleep like a kitten, does she have more nose and mouth like me?" ”

The young man who was filling the soup woman with water a few days ago sneered when he heard this: "That's not good? He lowered his chin and glared at the baby in the cradle, and commented, "It is indeed not half similar to her father." ”

Pei Yunshu glanced at him, turned his head to look at the sleeping baby, and the more he looked at it, the happier he became, "When I was inducing labor that day, I was still thinking about what to do if I was born with innate insufficiency, but now I seem to be relieved." ”

In the past few days, several medical officers from the medical hospital have come, and after reading it, they all said that the child is very healthy, and the child can eat and sleep, as for the toxicity of "children's sorrow", although it has not been completely expelled, but according to Lu Tong's words, there is no worry about his life now.

Thinking of Lu Tong, Pei Yunshu suddenly spoke: "Ah Yi, this time thanks to Dr. Lu, Dr. Lu is the life-saving benefactor of the jewel, I think of the day when the pearl is full moon, I invite Dr. Lu to come to the house together." Last time she was in a hurry, I didn't have time to thank her. ”

Pei Yunyi laughed, "Okay." "Hand the filled soup woman to Pei Yunshu.

Pei Yunshu took it and held it in her hand, the weather was getting colder, and she felt cold at night. Lu Tong didn't let the inner three layers and the outer three layers cover the quilt for the mother, but the nurse in the house insisted that the woman should not catch the cold after giving birth. After a long stalemate, a compromise was finally made, and even if there was no stove in the house, there was no need to cover three layers of quilts.

"Sister."

Pei Yunyi suddenly spoke.

"How?"

He didn't speak immediately, he just sat at the table, not knowing what he was thinking, and after a moment of silence, he said, "Do you want to leave the county king's mansion?" ”

Pei Yunshu was stunned.

It was as if some tacit taboo had been brought up, and the room fell silent.

These days, Wenjun Wang Musheng has not appeared.

At first, it was Pei Yunyao's guards who blocked the entrance of Pei Yunshu's courtyard, and Mu Sheng thundered at the door for a few days, threatening to enter the palace to face the saint and let the emperor punish Pei Yunhui for such an arrogant and rude behavior. However, I don't know what Pei Yunyao said to the emperor, Mu Sheng didn't wait for the saint's punishment of Pei Yunyao.

After returning home, Mu Sheng simply didn't come to Pei Yunshu's courtyard.

First, Pei Yunshu gave birth to a daughter, which was not so important in Mu Sheng's eyes. Second, he also wanted to take advantage of this to get angry with Pei Yunshu.

He can't help Pei Yunshu, but he can snub Pei Yunshu. He treated Pei Yunshu so coldly, the entire county palace knew that after the princess gave birth to a daughter, the county king never stepped into the princess's courtyard at once, and Pei Yunshu was used to forbearance, and would only swallow this bitterness into his stomach.

Mu Sheng was angry with Pei Yunshu, so he had to double the humiliation of Pei Yunshu to get it back. He always did.

The wind outside the window was cold, the lights in the room were shaking, Pei Yunshu's smile was gone, and her eyes were a little silent.

Pei Yunyi sat in front of the small table and casually fiddled with the wick in front of him.

He said, "Even if it's not for yourself, aren't you going to think about the orb?" His gaze fell on the cradle and settled on the cat-like little ball for a moment, "You want her to live in the dark arrow from now on?" ”

Pei Yunshu was shocked.

Since she married into the Wenjun Palace, she didn't care about Mu Sheng's snub and humiliation of her. After all, Mu Sheng didn't dare to tear his face with the Pei family, and Duke Zhaoning would not ask her about her joys and angers, as long as she was still in the position of Princess Wenjun. Pei Yunshu herself thinks the same way, living for several years on the same day.

But with Orbs it's different.

The jewel is still in the womb and has suffered from the malice of this world before it was born, and for a long time to come, do you want to let the jewel be maliciously watched like this?

How cruel.

Pei Yunshu lowered her head, looked at the baby in the cradle, her eyes gradually rippled, and she said softly: "He won't give me a letter of resignation." ”

Mu Sheng has always wanted to save face, but now that he has been kidnapped by Pei Yunyao and taken away his concubine, and he has lost face in front of the people in the palace, he must have a fire in his heart, and he will never let her go easily. Mu Sheng will not beat and scold her, but will only treat her coldly, letting her aimlessly spend her vitality in the county king's mansion, and gradually become a pool of stagnant water.

"Leave the book?"

He smiled, his eyes as cold as snow, "He wants to be beautiful." ”

Pei Yunshu was stunned.

"I want him, send you out respectfully, and I don't dare to say that you are half bad."

Pei Yunshu's eyebrows frowned slightly, and she was a little uneasy for no reason, "What do you want to do, don't mess around." She hesitated, "Besides, my father's side ......"

The in-laws of the Gaomen family, sometimes the marriage itself is the least important. Once she leaves the county king's mansion, the relationship between the Pei Mu family will have to be re-examined in the future.

"You don't care what he does, I'll do that." He got up and walked to the cradle, reached out and touched the face of the baby girl, the baby girl seemed to be aware of it, and made a babbling sound, so he withdrew his hand and looked at the kitten in the cradle and smiled.

"You just have to prepare a post about the full moon wine, and remind you that Dr. Lu is very busy, and he doesn't like luxury the most, so he may not come to the banquet."

His eyelashes drooped slightly, hiding the turbulent waves in his eyes, and only smiled: "I have to post early." ”

……

In the prison of the Criminal Prison Division, the night is exceptionally quiet.

The torches burned silently on the wall, and the shadows fell to the ground and pulled into a paradox, and the deeper they went, the darker and darker they became, except for the hazy moonlight that leaked through the small windows and bars on the wall, spreading a layer of cold frost on the ground.

Huddled in the haystack was a man, ragged and unkempt, with his hands buried between the haystacks, trying to fend off the cold of the dungeon night with damp hay.

Da, da, da.

The sound of footsteps sounded in the silence of the night.

Fan Zhenglian turned over and didn't open his eyes. At this hour, it was the jailer who came to make the rounds.

The footsteps stopped in front of the cell door, and then the sound of the door lock ringing in his ears was heard, and someone opened the iron door of the cell.

Fan Zhenglian sat up in a daze, and looked forward in the dim firelight, where a jailer stood in front of him, turning around and closing the door.

When he saw that this jailer's face was raw, not the bastard with eyes in the sky on weekdays, he was a little puzzled for a while, and when he saw this person looking at him, he called in a low voice: "Lord Fan? ”

Fan Zhenglian was shocked, didn't care about anything else, got up with a bone, and replied tentatively: "But the Qi family's mansion?" ”

The jailer nodded.

Fan Zhenglian was ecstatic.

Since he met Qi Chuan on that day, he has been waiting in this prison. Although in the Taishi Mansion, the Lu family is as small as ants, but the Qi Taishi loves his children and will never allow anything that damages the reputation of the Qi family, as long as he throws out the Lu family's introduction, no matter whether the Taishi Mansion will come to the rescue or not, at least he will not be indifferent.

He thought like this, who knew that after a few days, Qi Chuan disappeared, Fan Zhenglian was suspicious of whether Qi Chuan did not find the Taishi Mansion as he said, and on the other hand, he was worried that the Taishi Mansion would not care when he learned about it, and would eventually look at him coldly.

After waiting for a few days, his heart gradually became cold, and even Fan Zhenglian himself was a little desperate, but he didn't expect that someone would fall from the sky tonight.

He won the bet, but God was still on his side with Fan Zhenglian.

"Thank you for your help." He hurriedly bowed down to express his gratitude, and at the same time had some doubts in his heart.

He asked Qi Chuan to send a message to the Taishi Mansion, it was just an introduction, he thought about the people of the Taishi Mansion doing it, but it was not now, and he didn't expect the other party to send someone in person.

He pressed the suspicion in his heart and asked the person in front of him: "Do you have a message for your lordship?" ”

The jailer shook his head.

"Then this is ......"

"Shhhh

Due to the complexity of the case, he was placed in the innermost room of the prison department, and there were no prisoners anywhere. The jailer winked at him, suggesting that he move on.

This is...... Prison robbery?

Fan Zhenglian was stunned for a moment.

He wanted the Taishi Mansion to help, and with Qi Taishi's current status in the court, he only had to move his tongue in front of His Majesty, and the case would take a turn. However, the other party directly took him away from the prison department, although he could save his life, but in the future, he would not be able to appear in front of people openly, let alone make a comeback.

Fan Zhenglian was unwilling, but now he is not as good as others, so he can only bow his head.

He pressed what he wanted to say, and walked towards the prison door, and the moonlight followed him, casting a shadow on the ground, and he took two steps, and finally felt a little strange.

Wrong.

If the Taishi Mansion really wants to save him, why not send people in person, this case is serious, how many pairs of eyes are staring at it now, if he gets out of this prison gate today, the city will definitely search on a large scale, and the Taishi Mansion will not be afraid of getting into trouble?

His heart tightened, and before he could turn back, the next moment, there was a sharp pain in his neck, and the hemp rope thick with his thumb was tightly choked his throat!

"No—"

His voice disappeared into the darkness of the prison, his hands desperately reaching for the noose around his neck, kicking his legs frantically, trying to break free from the other's confinement, but the power was pitifully weak in the hands of the other.

He couldn't even see the other party's expression, tears of horror welled up from his eyes, he didn't understand what went wrong, he took the letter from the Lu family, even though the Taishi Mansion refused to help, but before the letter appeared, how could they rashly extinguish it, and they were not afraid that the letter would spread everywhere?

The force in his neck grew stronger and stronger, and he gradually felt suffocated, and he burst into tears, wanting to beg for mercy, wanting to scream and scream, to wake up the rest of the prisoner, even if it was just one person, but he couldn't make a sound, and could only feel desperately that his life was slipping away little by little.

He regretted it, he shouldn't have provoked the Taishi Mansion, he shouldn't have gone to get the letter, and for a long time, he shouldn't have been greedy when the kid surnamed Lu found him, and reported to the Qi family. When he received the complaint, he put the other party in prison and imposed capital punishment.

That kid, that kid surnamed Lu, what's his name?

Xu is life slowly passed, his vision began to blur, and in the chaotic darkness, he saw the man.

The young man was dressed in an old shirt, his qualifications could not be hidden, and his eyes were scorching, as if he was angry. He stopped his palanquin and showed him all the evidence, and he came from a small county thousands of miles away to cross the water, knelt before his eyes, and begged him: "Please, my lord, give my sister justice!" ”

He was busy rushing to the entertainment wine bureau at that time, and he was impatient to deal with it, but he stopped abruptly when he heard the words "Taishifu".

Taishifu......

That's a connection that you can't ask for.

If such a favor is sent, why not worry about the official road in the future. He counted how much he could gain from it, and he couldn't see the young man's tears and anger.

Isn't it someone who has tarnished his innocence, isn't it just a woman's death, isn't it just a teacher's family......

Why?

Ordinary people fight with officials, and in the end, it is only themselves who suffer. He looked at the young man's straight back, and thought in his heart, if he was really a nerdy scholar who read and read, and didn't know the suffering of the world. So he kindly helped the people on the ground up, and said angrily: "Such an arrogant and evil act, rest assured, this official will return your sister's innocence." ”

turned around and informed the Taishi Mansion of this matter.

However, the young man was a little clever, and somehow he knew his intentions, so he fled under his nose. He had already boasted to Qi Gongzi that he had gone to Haikou, and he had to give an explanation, and he had to post a reward notice, and the sky had eyes, and he really asked him to wait for someone.

The boy's uncle sent him back again.

Just for a hundred taels of silver.

He looked at the sleeping people, as if he saw a lost and recovered treasure, and his heart was proud, and behold, ordinary people are like this, give them a little sweetness, brothers are against the wall, and the closest relatives turn against each other, and they can do everything.

He took the man surnamed Lu back to the prison, and he couldn't remember what the other party looked like. For him, that young man is a stepping stone on his official road, a vote for him to take the Taishi Mansion, a mustard, an ant, and everything insignificant. He had never taken such a lowly person into account. Even if their Lu family is combined, it is just a few despicable lives.

You can't get any wind and waves.

As long as he wants, he can easily give the other party a hard time.

However, for some reason, when he was dying, he clearly saw the shadow of the other party.

The young man stood in front of him, in a dimly lit prison, his shabby clothes could not hide his clean bones.

Fan Zhenglian has always disliked readers, he hates the nobility of readers, hates their pretentiousness, and hates his muddy self under the backdrop of these people.

The young man was about to be put on a rope, and at the moment of death, he still had no fear on his face, and only said calmly: "Heaven and earth are selfless, the results are unpleasant, and the prison that has been stuck for a long time will eventually be judged one day." ”

He looked at Fan Zhenglian, and the contempt in his eyes was unconcealed: "Fan Zhenglian, you will have retribution." ”

You will have retribution.

He opened his mouth wide and grabbed his hands in the air a few times in vain.

"Ka-"

There is a slight cracking sound.

Then there was a muffled thud, and something was thrown to the ground, stirring up a small handful of dust.

Someone walked through the hay, and the dungeon fell silent.

Only the people on the ground lay on the ground like dead dogs, shackled in prison clothes, their heads tilted to the small window of the high wall of the dungeon, their pupils wide open, reflecting the gray shadow of the moon.

The moon flowed out of the withered eyes, and when it flowed through the restaurants in Shengjing, it faded a little dead.

In the Renhe store, it is very lively at night.

The restaurant was full of seats, and Du Changqing beckoned everyone to sit down at the table, looking at a table of wine and food and sighing.

The banquet on August 15 will be empty in September. Fortunately, although there is no moon to appreciate, the dishes are still there, and it is not wasteful.

The diners next door were talking about the recent tribute fraud case, the legendary Confucian who came back from the dead, the recent inexplicable rumors about the Taishi Mansion in Beijing, and finally, the detailed judge who was once full of reputation and is now in prison.

"That Fan Zhenglian was proud of the spring breeze in Shengjing at the beginning, and in just a few years, he became a detailed judge of the criminal court, I thought that his career would have to rise one more level, who knows——"

"The so-called prosperity and withering are like turning pills, and the wind and clouds are changing!"

"It's not, you think officialdom is just to take a ladder to go up, one is not careful, you don't climb steadily, and you don't know if you fall to death!"

Those boiling talks crossed the table and drilled into Lu Tong's ears, and she listened quietly, her expression slightly restrained.

She made rumors near Qi Chuan's home that the DPRK and China were planning to investigate the case of Gongju fraud recently, and Qi Chuan would definitely fend for himself under the weakness of his heart. And the best way to survive and the safest way is to make Fan Zhenglian unable to speak again.

She wanted to borrow Qi Chuan's hand to kill someone, but she never thought that Qi Chuan would think like this, let alone that Qi Chuan would spread the rumors of the Taishi Mansion.

It's wonderful.

No matter how the Taishi Mansion feels about this matter, the Qi family, whose reputation has been "damaged", will definitely not let Fan Zhenglian go. Fan Zhenglian's fate can be imagined.

Fan Zhenglian tempted Liu Kun with a reward of silver, causing Lu Qian to be betrayed by his relatives. Now she tempted Qi Chuan with benefits, making Fan Zhenglian betrayed by his subordinates.

Fan Zhenglian took the life of the Lu family as a vote and climbed to the Taishi Mansion, so she tempted Qi Chuan and asked Qi Chuan to take Fan Zhenglian's life as a vote to climb to another family.

Fan Zhenglian let Lu Qian taste the pain of prison, and she let Fan Zhenglian also be a prisoner in prison.

Before the tribute case, Lu Tong had seen Liu Kun and knew about Fan Zhenglian's crime against the Lu family, so Yinzheng asked her, "How is the girl prepared?" Was it intended to poison him and kill him? ”

At that time, Lu Tong replied: "He is an official, it is too troublesome to kill him, I have other arrangements." ”

She wasn't going to do it directly. killed Fan Zhenglian, he is still an innocent Qingtian lord, maybe there are still people sighing for his death.

Fan Zhenglian wants to be promoted, she will let him appear as an official star, and if he wants to be famous, she wants him to be infamous and the people's hearts will be scattered.

Everything that he wanted to work hard and alone was in vain, and he wanted the person he had surrendered to be honest and honest to personally send him on the road. In Fan Zhenglian's eyes, the Lu family is like a mustard, so she wants him to realize that in the eyes of people in a higher position, he is just a mustard.

Du Changqing shouted: "It's a good Mid-Autumn Festival, now the moon is not round, and it's really a blood loss to eat tasteless." ”

Lu Tong turned his head to look out the window: "Is there one?" ”

Du Changqing: "No! ”

Fifteen years have passed, and the moon is not as bright as before, like a thin and sharp guillotine, shining silver and hanging in the sky, to cut the grievances of the world to pieces.

In the lively halls all around, diners mingled and raised their lamps during the banquet, not knowing what good things had happened.

Lu Tong lowered his head, and the moonset in the distance fell into the wine cup, causing a little ripple.

"I think the moon is more beautiful today."

She raised her glass and drank it down with a smile.
