Autumn nights are as cool as water.

In the atmosphere of silence that was hard to break for a long time, Yuzhu came with a plate of hot and fragrant sauce pork ribs.

This is still Mo Qiutong shouted that he hadn't eaten enough yet, and asked the kitchen to get the appetizers, and the cook also sprinkled some chrysanthemums on the sauce ribs very carefully, the sweet and spicy taste was mixed with a faint refreshing floral fragrance, which hooked people who had no appetite also had a little bit of a taste of it.

But until Yuzhu retreated again, there was still no one to chopsticks on this plate of sauce pork ribs, only the swallowing sound of Fei Teng drinking was swept into their ears by the night breeze blowing slowly, and time seemed to be stretched out by someone as plasticine, I don't know how long it has been, Fei Teng's deep voice brought a smile:

"Although my sister can't be saved, but through this we have cracked a family human trafficking case, the youngest of a family of 12 is only five years old, all involved in the abduction of girls for lack of morality, among which the pregnant women were abducted by the girl, the family got pregnant, but they never thought of resisting and struggling, and fell into the whirlpool created by the family, and the children born were bred into new traffickers, passed on from generation to generation. ”

His smile slowly added a little mockery, "It's like a family business, but it's just that this kind of thing is always too appalling, and Zhiyue is afraid of causing panic among the people and ruining the order, so he hides it." ”

"Also, who would have thought that the weak little girl who came to ask you for directions crying, and asked you to lead the way, would push you into the abyss of no return after you took her home?

The women who were also victims did not have the slightest intention of breaking free from the shackles until the matter was revealed, perhaps in their years they had long forgotten how they were violent, but did they never think about it when they assisted the devil in inflicting violence on other girls? ”

"This is terrible, isn't it?" said Ming Gengxiu after a long time.

"Definitely. Mo Kaichan also echoed in a daze.

Liu Ya gradually fell into deep contemplation, she still remembered that the Zhang family in Yinshao Village was also in the same house for three generations, all of them were involved in this kind of business, and Kang Zaizhi also said that the Zhang family was just an abandoned son of an organization that mistakenly thought that the princess's mansion had found something, and that organization would rather kill the wrong than expose a little, they were trading in various places with the same mechanism as the Zhang family, such a huge transaction, it was definitely not something that ordinary nobles and eunuchs could afford, and they had been deceived almost every drop for many years, which showed how powerful it was to control the top of this black chain.

"What's wrong with you?" Fei Teng asked when he saw that she had been silent and even furrowed his eyebrows.

Liu Ya replied that it was okay, "I just thought that your sister was adopted by someone who came from Dongchu to do business, did you go to Dongchu this time to find her adoptive mother and relatives?"

"She has always died trying to save my sister, and if there are any relatives, I want to do my best to take care of them and make some compensation. ”

"If you have any needs, you must go to our store!"

"Don't worry, I won't be polite to you. ”

It wasn't until the ugly time was approaching that the farewell party was reluctant to disperse.

Fei Teng carried Liu Ya, who was finally drunk unscrupulously, into the wing room to rest, and after covering the quilt for her, he saw Yuzhu walking towards him with a burden, and when he got closer, he handed him the burden:

"This is the autumn clothes that Miss ordered me to prepare for Fei Gongzi when she came back, although they are only ready-to-wear clothes bought from a shop outside, but they are always Miss Fei's heart, if Fei Gongzi doesn't dislike the cumbersome, bring them with you." ”

Fei Teng thanked him and took the burden, "I'm tired of you tonight." ”

"It's not too much of an internal matter, but I didn't find an opportunity to repay Fei Gongzi for his help that night. It was Fei Teng who told Xue Runcong to be unable to move and speak, otherwise Xue Runcong would be exculpatory that night, and he joined Liu Sigu to pour all the sewage on her head word by word, so that she could no longer gain a foothold in the mansion.

"It's just a gesture, not enough to worry about, it's not early, let's go down and rest. Fei Teng casually hung the burden on his arm, turned around and walked out, but after a few steps, as if remembering something, he looked back with a hippie smile and said, "That guy looks like he is not very good, but he is a very good person, and he is worthy of being entrusted for life, if you want to get married, and you can't find a suitable partner, you might as well consider him a little." ”

Looking at the ambiguous glance he left behind, Yuzhu's fair and flawless face gradually turned red.

**

Liu Ya dreamed of the scene of Yuwen Qiupage and the county lord in Taohuatan, but in the dream, she was more willful and cruel, and very directly tore up the pair of dogs and men with their bare hands and threw them as flower fertilizer, and woke up the next day satisfied, it was Shen Shi, and Fei Teng, who had said goodbye to everyone last night, left as soon as the city gate opened this morning.

After washing, Liu Ya looked at the purple and red pattern Luo skirt that Zhu Yu finally picked out from the suitcase, "Change it, don't be purple." ”

Zhu Yu rummaged through the ground and picked out a simple and festive, embroidered with blooming red cotton Luo skirt, and only after getting the consent of Liu Ya's jaw head did she go to the dresser to match jewelry, Aunt Yuzhu said that although their young lady has always liked to wear pure white clothes, but when attending the banquet, they should have the appearance of participating in the banquet, whether it is clothes or jewelry, they must add some lively colors.

"Bud Bud!" With the sound of joy, Jiang Zhihua, dressed like a porcelain doll, jumped into Liu Ya's door.

Liu Ya handed Zhu Yu a large brocade box full of different kinds of medicine bags, and smiled when she looked at her, "It's so beautiful today." ”

"It's a new garment, so maybe it looks different from usual. Jiang Zhihua said with a suspicious flush floating across his face.

Liu Ya smiled and did not expose her suspicions, and asked the maid to call Mo Qiutong and Mo Kaichan, who were also invited, and Xue Jinxiu, who had promised to bring them before, but Jiang Zhihua said without hiding his dissatisfaction:

"What do you do with that pretentious?"

"It's rare for her to come to Beijing, and she can't participate in the palace banquet, but the banquet of the noble family can still take her to see and understand. ”

"What if you treat her like a cousin again? she's a white-eyed wolf, and she has never spoken ill of you before me. ”

"Today's banquet will give me a little face, no matter how you don't tear down her table?"

"Tsk, I buy your face, I heard my mother say that my aunt has been running around for her family for a long time, and finally she was busy in vain, and now she comes to Beijing and lives in your house, I can guess what calculation I don't have to move my toes, you want to fulfill her, I won't stop it, but don't make yourself fishy!"

"Okay, well, I listen to you, and there is a big wall in my heart to guard her. ”

Just as Mo Qiutong and Mo Kaichan were ready, the right prime minister, General Feixiang and Ji Yushi were waiting in the courtyard early, and Liu Ya went out with them, and Xue Jinxiu, who was dressed delicately, was already standing in the front yard, and there was Liu Sigu next to him, who was not at ease, and he was telling him repeatedly, seeing that they were coming, Liu Sigu nervously grabbed Liu Ya's hand again:

"Ya Ya, Xiu'er, her first time at the banquet, you must take good care of her, etiquette or something, remember to mention her more!"

Liu Ya glanced at Xue Jinxiu, who turned his face away from himself, and in the white eyes of Mo Qiutong who couldn't help but want to turn up, he withdrew his hand without a trace, and then got into the huge brand-new luxury carriage and went to the Lu State Mansion.

When the sunset burned half of the sky, the Luguo Mansion arrived.

As soon as Liu Ya got out of the car, the middle-aged man who was greeting the guests at the door came respectfully with those servants, and after saluting, he asked a maid to take them into the house, and then stepped into a small garden leading to the backyard.

"What idiot, what are you doing lying here?"

He Yi, who could hear the voice, opened his eyes with his long eyelashes, and after seeing Jiang Zhihua, he smiled with an ignorant and sleepy face, "Wait for you." ”

Although it was just two simple and ordinary words, it made Jiang Zhihua blush involuntarily, "Isn't it the same in the Stacked Color Water Pavilion, how many pestles are not in place here?"

"There's a lot of noise over there, I'm bored and I'm here to wait for you, I just want to close my eyes and recuperate, but the wind is really comfortable, and I accidentally fall asleep in a comfortable way, huh-" He Yi later realized that Jiang Zhihua was still surrounded by a group of men and women, remembering what she had said a few days ago, and suddenly gestured towards Liu Ya and Mo Qiutong, who were walking in the front.

Jiang Zhihua hurriedly pulled Liu Ya and introduced them to Mo Qiutong, "He is He Yi, the third son of the current Duke of Lu, and the Yi of Liyu." Then she introduced the people around her to He Yi, and then after a few salutes to each other, she waved away the maid who led the way, replaced it with He Yi to lead the way, and after a few conversations and laughs, she went to the Stacked Color Water Pavilion where the banquet was held.

I saw that the water pavilion built near the lake was surrounded by chrysanthemums of different colors to pose the figures of the zodiac, one by one lifelike and tight, there were many chrysanthemum water lanterns in the lake, some crushed petals, and they were proudly rippling with the water waves, and from time to time there were fish playing in it, and several small pavilions and intersecting aisles on the lake were full of happy men and women, and Liu Ya almost saw at a glance the Yuwen Qiu page in one of the pavilions, he was talking and laughing with the lord of Yihe and several women and the children of the nobles, and she looked away indifferently when he seemed to be perceiving。

The little maid guarding the courtyard had already taken the guest list from the maid who had led the way just now, and as soon as they saw Liu Ya, they announced in a loud voice, and everyone who heard the words came back to their senses one after another, and most of them looked at it blatantly, sweeping towards Liu Ya, who was almost surrounded by a cluster.

When Liu Ya stayed in the Western Desert, she experienced this kind of picture where most people had to salute her, kneeling into a large area, she had also seen it, and now there were only thirty or forty men and women, it was really a small scene, and she didn't feel any joy, but when she saw that the county lord of Yihe also had to bow to her, she felt an unprecedented sense of pleasure, and blasted away the depression that she had been pressing in her heart for days, so she happily hooked her lips and said:

"No courtesy. ”

The splash gradually returned to calm, what should everyone do to continue to do it, but there were always some eyes still quietly watching, and the people who were sitting in the water pavilion but stood up because of the salute, as if they were waiting for Liu Ya They did not move, Jiang Zhixue, who was surrounded by many middle-aged women and young girls, waved to her with a smile, and Song Caini next to her, on the other side of the huge pavilion, Jiang Zhiyu and a few noble children were next to the wooden fence in the corner.

Liu Ya walked in, and Jiang Zhihua smiled at the graceful woman who was standing beside Jiang Zhixue affectionately, and said, "Aunt." ”

Duchess Lu Guo responded with a smile, and hurriedly invited Liu Ya to sit down, and then Jiang Zhihua introduced the old and young around him in turn, a few times talking and laughing, Ming Gengxiu and an innocent girl came, and there were several noble children around her, because Duchess Lu Guo was the host of the family and the host of this banquet, so the men, women and children who came came to say hello.

Liu Ya also knew that this innocent girl was Hu Qingxian, the younger sister of Hu Qingqing's family who liked Ming Gengxiu, a girl with clean eyes, Jiang Zhihua and a few people of the same age also greeted her, and when she saw this, she took her hand and said, "I have heard Ah Qing mention that his little sister is lively and cute, and today I see that this is indeed the case, my usual pastime is very dull, and I have always liked the girl like pistachio, if you are free in the future, you will come to our house with Ah Xiu to play." After finishing speaking, he naturally dialed a jade bracelet on his wrist into Hu Qingxian's hand.

Everyone looked at Hu Qingxian, who was favored by Liu Ya, in disbelief, and some of the people who knew her looked again as if they didn't know her.

But Hu Qingqing, who was favored, was at a loss, she had heard her brother say that Liu Ya, but she never knew that their friendship was so good, so good that Liu Ya was willing to sell face in public (invisibly raising her value), but she heard Ming Gengxiu smile and said: "Xian'er is not happy to thank Princess Mo Ye." Seeing her childhood sweetheart so signal, she dared to accept this kindness and thanked her with a salute.

Later, Jiang Zhihua pulled He Yi and Hu Qingxian a few little girls and Song Caini, and went to the side to join in the excitement of guessing the riddle, Liu Ya took the opportunity to try Xue Jinxiu, who was eager to try, also went over to play, and saw that Mo Kaichan was also bored in the women's pile, so he asked Ming Gengxiu to take him for a walk, with the sunset on the West Mountain, the water lantern in the lake bloomed with a brilliant and unique light, at this time, the little guy announced that King Qing and King Jie and a group of noble children and young ladies came together.

Liu Ya saw Liu Baoying, who was walking with Zhang Yingying and Shao Biyi, who was not wearing a veil but was still dressed in the old days, and Yu Guang indifferently accepted the disbelief on Ming Gengxiu's face, Mo Qiutong seemed to have noticed something, and in the Shi Li that sounded one after another around her, she pulled the hem of her clothes without a trace, and said in a suppressed voice, "Sister, what do you think she wants?"

When she was in the West Desert, Liu Baoying chased Ming Gengxiu very enthusiastically, and invited again and again, but Ming Gengxiu was hindered by the burden on her back, and did not respond, either hiding or avoiding, although she had also rejected her with righteous words, but Liu Baoying never gave up, thinking that it would be good to leave the West Desert, how could she have chased her to the Southern Han Dynasty.

"Let's wait and see what happens. "Feelings are always a lifelong thing, and it is common for her to want to fight for it again, and Ming Gengxiu is not a confused and irresponsible scumbag, and he will not do any deviant behavior that ruins his reputation, and there should be no bloody brother cannibalism.

King Qing and King Jie took the group of noble children and young ladies who they knew each other but walked together to the water pavilion, and chatted with the Duchess of Lu Guo who was still standing waiting for them to come over after Shi Li, Liu Ya was the first time to see King Jie, who had appeared in her ears many times, he was wearing a brown-gray brocade robe, his face was handsome, his smile was soft, pleasant and pleasant, although it was only on the surface.

Liu Ya and Mo Qiutong stood up and greeted Jiang Zhixue slowly, with a simple pull, Duchess Lu Guo instructed the maid to prepare for the banquet, and after a while, I don't know who proposed to pass the time before the pair entered the banquet, and after getting a large number of echoes, the men and women started playing very quickly, a few back and forth, and the difficulty became more and more difficult.

She felt extremely bored, and finally couldn't hold back the yawn, Shao Biyi stared at her and chuckled: "Looking at Princess Mo Xie seems to be bored, do you think it's boring to play with us?"

"They're fine, your words are boring. Liu Ya took advantage of the situation to yawn out, and said in a serious way.

Shao Biyi's face stiffened, and the originally harmonious atmosphere around her was also cold, it seemed that no one expected Liu Ya to be so faceless, for a while, no one knew what to do, and Zhang Yingying next to her was keenly aware that King Qing had frowned dissatisfiedly, afraid that Shao Biyi would be blamed and embarrassed in public, and just wanted to bite the bullet to ease the atmosphere, but heard Shao Biyi say again:

"It's true that compared to a woman like me, Princess Mo Xie prefers to play with different men, and in Princess Mo Ye's eyes, I'm afraid that the contact between lips is just an ordinary play, right?

"Indeed, if a woman like you learns from me, she will be accused of being indecent to you. Liu Ya raised her eyes and smiled.

"Poof!" Ji Huansheng, who was sitting next to King Jie, couldn't help laughing when Shao Biyi stood up angrily.

Mixed with unbelievable strange eyes, they swept over Liu Ya and Ji Huansheng, and finally fell on Shao Biyi, she seemed to be stripped naked and humiliated by someone, and she couldn't hold back the anger that surged up from her heart and shouted, "Hell, who wants to learn from you to be so shameless!"

"Poof!" This time Liu Ya smiled, she stood up lazily, walked towards Jiang Zhiyu, in the sudden silence, pulled Jiang Zhiyu's collar, put her lips up, and then looked back at Shao Biyi with an incredulous face, "I didn't marry him, and we didn't make a family relationship with others, what's wrong with kissing her mouth-" She smiled slyly, stood on tiptoe again, and deliberately smacked Jiang Zhiyu's curved lips hard, "It doesn't seem to be your business to kiss Shao Biyi again, right?" I don't know where my future husband is, you irrelevant, you are in charge of my private affairs!"

"Now you don't have to think about breaking your head to sarcastically mock me for being prodigal, I rely on my own ability, whoever asks me I will admit it!" Liu Ya casually looked at a gaze that was hotter and cooler than anyone else, and looked at the eyes of Shangyu Wenqiu Page that seemed to be filled with ice and snow, and then moved to the Yihe County Lord next to him disapprovingly, and hooked his lips very provocatively.

"......" Shao Biyi never expected that Liu Ya could be shameless to such an extent, and she didn't take her reputation seriously at all, and she actually pulled Jiang Zhiyu and kissed her again, and the words and sentences that she had been thinking about for a long time in her heart collapsed instantly, looking at Liu Ya's gaze, she couldn't wait to be on fire, and she was burned to the ground.

Seeing that the scene was becoming more and more strange, the Duchess of Lu Guo hurriedly stood up and played a round game, and asked them to move to the pavilion in front of them separated by a screen made of natural chrysanthemums.

During the banquet, Liu Ya found a reason to wash her hands and go to the toilet, she just wanted to pull a gap and come out so that Yuwen Qiuye could block her, and she sneered at him again, but when she really walked to the toilet, it happened that the little girl and the person who poured the night fragrance were busy, and when she turned around and wanted to leave, she felt that the young man who poured the night fragrance was a little familiar.

Xu is her gaze is too straightforward, and the young man who has already neatly poured the night incense looks at her.

Liu Ya suddenly remembered that he was the eyewitness Du Xinchen found for her in the case of the Zhangjia Sect in Yinshao Village, although he had not seen him that day, but when the six doors were injured by Princess Jiajia, Jiaoyu Wenqiu Page forced him to look at the case file countless times, and there was a portrait of this named Qiu Bang in it, so he calmly took out a handkerchief and covered his mouth and nose and asked:

"Aren't you the night incense guy of Silvertip Village?"

"Yes, after being ill for a while, the business was robbed, so I went to Beijing to join my relatives. Qiu Bang looked at her blankly, his appearance was very ordinary, and his figure was not outstanding, he belonged to the kind of person who would not have an impression after passing by on the street ten times or eight times, and he really didn't know how the well-dressed young lady in front of him knew him.

Seeing that Liu Ya didn't speak anymore, the little guy in the house urged Qiu Bang to leave quickly.

Liu Ya did not stop it, the case of the Zhang family in Yinshao Village was also investigated by Kang Yazhi at the beginning, and the clues that could be extended to search were indeed limited, if she wanted to re-investigate, or even go deeper, this process was no different from ascending to the sky.

After the little maid in the house also left, she went to the toilet and walked slowly back.

By the time she had gone back in a big circle, many young men and women had already left the table and ran to the pavilion to enjoy the scenery and laugh, and the maid brought wax-sealed lamps made of Ono chrysanthemum, so that the guests could freely light the candles and put them in the lake.

Liu Ya's gaze floating into the lake was leisurely withdrawn, and she looked at the figure holding two small wild chrysanthemum lanterns walking straight towards her.
