White Moonlight of Powerful Officials at large

Wen Ning was locked in a dark room.

The darkroom seemed to be in some hidden corner, with windows, but no light at all.Only a slit of light penetrated through the crack of the door, so thin that she couldn't tell whether it was day or night.

But she knew someone was watching her.

There are occasional footsteps outside the door.

She wasn't very scared.

This life is picked up in this life, what is there to be afraid of?

And she could vaguely guess that the person who kidnapped her was targeting Pei You.

Xie Changyuan?
Not sure.

But she didn't bother to think about it.

Her stamina was slashed so badly, it was really painful.

Moreover, when those people kidnapped her, they didn't give her water or food. The darkroom probably doesn't see sunlight on weekdays, and it's winter now, so it's extremely cold inside.

She had to talk to someone outside.

She is very familiar with such things as striking up a conversation.

"Hey, how much monthly silver does your master give you? I'll give you ten times as much as ten years, and you let me out."

"Is it snowing outside? Aren't you cold? I entrust you with such a hard job. I think your master doesn't think much of you."

"Have you eaten yet? I'm hungry, are you going to starve me to death?"

"The water is not brought in? Are you afraid that I will recognize your identities?"

"let me guess……"

Xie Chang Yuan probably wasn't afraid of being recognized, Pei You might go to look for him after seeing Emperor Jiahe in the morning.

"Hey, I see! Fourth Highness?"

"Don't dare to open the door, for fear that I will see the scenery outside?"

"Is this in the residence of His Royal Highness?"

The people outside finally spoke, and said viciously, "Shut up!"

Are you really fooled by her?

Wen Ning's hands and feet were actually bound by ropes, so she said to the outside world: "Quickly ask your Fourth Highness to come down to see me! If you don't see me, you will bite your tongue and kill yourself. Let's see what he can do with me!"

The man really believed it, and after a moment of silence, footsteps sounded.

But soon, Wen Ning realized that her decision was wrong.

I thought that I would call Chu Heng to deal with him, and lock her in a more comfortable place, but when the man came back, the door was opened, and she didn't see much outside, so he pinched her chin and poured medicine .

Struggling to spill more than half of the bowl, he went out and poured her back and forth twice.

Only then did Wen Ning realize that the situation might be more serious than she imagined.

Chu Heng's way of tearing his face is completely embarrassing. Even if he doesn't please Pei You, he can't be against the Duke's government.

Could it be...he knew Pei You's identity?

Then he catches her...

Wen Ning's heart was full of alarm bells, because of Chu Heng's vicious temperament, she was arrested, and she was going to use her as bait to take Pei You's life!
Just thinking about it, there were many footsteps outside.

"Here, here." Indistinct voices, "Ambush them all! If anyone dares to break in, shoot them to death!"

After being fed those bowls of unknown medicine, Wen Ning's consciousness actually began to be a little confused, but how dare she be really confused?
Those people outside were obviously waiting for Pei You, or waiting for Pei Youzhu to rescue her.

Listen to the footsteps, there are many people.

Wen Ning slammed into the pile of firewood behind her hard to keep herself awake.

The room was dark, but she still had the basic sense of touch. She knocked over the pile of firewood, moved her back to a sharp point, gritted her teeth and bumped her wrist upwards.

Woooo it hurts.

She is most afraid of pain.

Damn Chu Heng, when she goes out, she will definitely get this debt back!

The snow that had been brewing all day finally fell.

Chang'an Street, which had been in panic all day, suddenly became quiet.

Fan Liu reported to Chu Heng in the gazebo: "Your Highness, the searchers outside suddenly withdrew, but the city gate is still closed. I don't know if they plan to search again tomorrow, or... have already guessed that it was us who did it."

Chu Heng looked at the falling snow with his hands behind his back, and snorted lightly: "Has the staff been arranged?"

Fan Liu replied: "Don't worry, Your Highness, everything has been properly arranged. No matter how many people they come, they will never return!"

"Where's the archer?"

"Every highest place in the mansion has been arranged."

"Fan Liu, listen carefully." Chu Heng turned around, his young face showing a frenzied ruthlessness, "No matter what the situation is tonight, as long as Pei You comes, he won't be able to leave! Get him out alive!"

He can't get it, he can't even imagine it!

"The servant understands!"

Fan Liu's expression was firm at this time, and he didn't waver anymore.

He also knew that once Pei You's surname was "Chu", the situation would be completely out of their control.

After some planning and agreement, the master and servant became more confident in their hearts.

It's just that they never expected that the person who came tonight was not what they expected.

The first one to knock on the door of the mansion was Wen Lan, the Prime Minister of Dali Temple.

"Dali Temple handles the case, idlers, etc., don't act rashly!"

It was still the familiar high-pitched sentence that tore apart the superficial calm of this snowy night.

"People from Dali Temple? How many people are here? Why?!" Chu Heng walked quickly to the mansion.

Fan Liu followed closely behind: "It is said that someone sued His Highness..."

He paused: "Collude with Fanbang and come to the house to search for evidence."

Chu Heng's complexion turned pale, and then he smiled: "Only relying on a small temple prime minister? It's a lot of courage to wantonly frame someone!"

"Order all the guards who are hidden in the dark to come out, so why not have more guards in the palace's own mansion?!"

Fan Liu took the order and left in a hurry.

Chu Heng took a few other confidants, went to the front of the mansion and saw dozens of soldiers from Dali Temple had surrounded the vestibule.

He is different from King Rui, no matter how angry he is in his heart, he still has a smile on his face.

"Why did Xueye, the prime minister of Laowen Temple, come here? I heard that someone sued my prince for adultery with a foreign country? Such a serious crime is really frightening."

Wen Lan took a step forward, with the same warm smile, cupped her hands and said, "Rong Yu is really sorry for the disturbance in the middle of the night, but the Royal Order is in front of me and I am on business, so I hope the Fourth Highness will be happy."

As he spoke, he took out a document from his sleeve and shook it off.

It was a search warrant bearing the Emperor Jiahe's imperial seal.

Ok.

It turned out that I went to cry with my own father.

Chu Heng was resentful in his heart, but smiled more gently on his face: "This search warrant is usually issued by the minister of Dali Temple, but the emperor himself has to worry about it. Ping Qing is really flattered."

He changed his name very respectfully: "It's getting late, and Ping Qing will not hinder Wen Sicheng's work."

Sideways out of the way: "Please."

Do you think that people who have moved to the government can search for it?
Even if he pulls the entire Dali Temple over and razes the Prince's Mansion to the ground, he may not be able to find the person he wants!

"Search!" Wen Lan ordered coldly.

Immediately dozens of soldiers entered the prince's mansion.

Wen Ning heard many footsteps again.

Different from the neat and orderly ones before, these footsteps were hurried and messy, and occasionally there was the sound of heavy objects falling to the ground, as if they were rummaging for something.

Did someone come in from outside the house?
Wen Ning struggled to hold on.

The eyelids kept sinking.

Every time she felt that she was about to lose consciousness, she poked her arm with that sharp object to barely stay awake.

Maybe she should have used a smarter method.

The person guarding her outside is no longer there.

Wen Ning hopped to the door with all her strength, stepped back a little, and slammed forward.

Hello!There are people here!
If she hadn't taken the medicine, she could have yelled loudly at this moment, but after a few bowls of medicine, her throat was as if stuffed with cotton, and she couldn't make a loud noise.

You can only slam on the door and knock on the door.

But no one seemed to notice it.

Wen Ning calmed down and listened to those movements again.

It seemed, as if...she was underground?

Chu Heng politely invited Wen Lan to the eaves, ordered his servants to bring tables and chairs, and poured hot tea.

The two chatted in a very tacit understanding about the snow tonight, not about the people who searched in the house.

However, within an instant of incense sticks, the soldiers came back one after another, all empty-handed, apparently gaining nothing.

Chu Heng drank tea leisurely, the expression on his face became more and more comfortable.

Wen Lan looked at him with sullen eyes.

He hurried from the Duke's Mansion to the Imperial Palace, not knowing exactly what happened, or even why the four princes wanted to kidnap Wen Ning.

But Shizi was not wrong, he is not someone who accepts when he sees a deal.

Not one to give in easily.

"I didn't find what I wanted, Sicheng Wen, it's late at night, can I let the hall rest?" Chu Heng put down the teacup in his hand.

Wen Lan smiled: "Looking at the sky, Rong Yu is still very early, besides, the tea at His Royal Highness's house is so delicious, there are still people who haven't had a sip yet."

Chu Heng narrowed his eyes: "Who?"

Just at this time, a gust of wind came, and after the wind and snow, a person with quiet eyes came stepping forward.

"Of course it's Pei."
-
Wen Ning felt like crying.

She is really tired.

She wants to sleep.

She didn't have the strength to knock on the door anymore.

Those cluttered footsteps disappeared.

Did they not find her and leave?

I don't know if it was a hallucination caused by drinking the medicine, but she suddenly saw Pei You who came galloping on a fast horse through the wind and rain in Lingnan.

With the sound of horseshoes and the heavy rain, he walked through the rain curtain and stepped through the fog, so unexpected, and so pleasantly surprised to appear in front of her.

Mr. Wen is so girly!
Her girl is so young, why did she come so late this time?

No.

can not sleep.

They were going to use her and take her young girl's life.

She stays sober, at least she can play around with the situation, instead of letting me take advantage of it.

Wen Ning hit the wound on her arm again.

The tearing pain dispelled most of the fog in her mind.

Just then there was the sound of iron chains outside, and then the door was opened.

The light was already very dim, but Wen Ning managed to recognize that it was the father-in-law next to Chu Heng, who seemed to be called...Fan Liu?
Fan Liu didn't expect that Wen Ning was still awake, and the surprise flashed across his face.

Throwing down the whisk in his hand, a dagger in his hand cut the ropes binding her feet, grabbed her arm and dragged her out.
-
Finally willing to show up.

A strange excitement appeared on Chu Heng's face.

But after seeing clearly the people who followed Pei You into the mansion, he turned into a strange ashes.

Jin Wuwei.

His lofty father was easily given to Pei You and Jin Wuwei.

Chu Heng stared at Pei You, and slowly stood up.

The Jinwu guards rushed in one after another, and had already surrounded his Prince's Mansion tightly.

Pei You also stared at Chu Heng and came step by step.

When the soldiers of Dali Temple saw Jinwu Guards, they all retreated to give way.

The vestibule of the Fourth Prince's Mansion has probably never been so crowded.

People from Jinwu Guard, people from Dali Temple, they were originally the soldiers of the mansion, and they filled the vestibule to the brim.

Chu Heng's defeat was only for a moment, and immediately he raised his chin, and the crazy excitement was in his eyes again.

What about the Jinwu Guard?

Even the Jinwu Guard has been invited, which once again proves that his judgment is correct, doesn't it?

He grabbed Wen's A Ning, and then he took Pei You's lifeblood!

Jin Wuwei can find people who cannot be found in Dali Temple?

He didn't mind drinking a few more cups of tea with Pei You, just look at his wonderful expression when he saw all the Jinwu guards return empty-handed.

Obviously Chu Heng didn't know Pei You well enough.

Pei You has never been a person who plays cards according to common sense.

He climbed up the steps, his face was usually dull and cold, and his eyes were also sparse and lonely, only he stared at Chu Heng, not for a moment.

Just when Chu Heng thought he should stop and say something threatening or showing off to him, Pei You grabbed his neck with one hand.

Chu Heng only regarded Pei You as a civil servant.

He never thought that a scholar would have such great strength, pushing him back step by step.

He pushed him directly onto the pillar in front of the hall, before he could react, the light of the knife flashed in front of his eyes, and there was a sharp pain in his shoulder.

"Pei You! How dare you!" In front of so many people, he stabbed him directly!

There was no emotion in Pei You's eyes, and he only tightened the hand clasping his neck: "Where's the person?"

"Come here! Are they all dead!" Chu Heng yelled at his soldiers, "Didn't you see someone hurt this prince? Take him down for me!"

Tonight, there are more guards in his mansion than ever before, but none of them dare to move.

With the Jinwu Guard in front, who dares to move?
What the Jinwu Guards are going to do is what the Holy Majesty is going to do. How many of them have the guts to disobey the Holy Will? !

Pei You pulled out the dagger from his shoulder.

Blood splattered.

Chu Heng let out a scream.

"Where's the person?" Pei You stared at him, her hands tightened again.

"You...cough..." Chu Heng was having difficulty breathing, clutching the bleeding wound on his shoulder, "Are you crazy?"

"Not yet." Pei You bullied her, her strength in her hands became stronger, and she looked like a dead thing, "If you don't let people go, it will be hard to protect."

Chu Heng's face was flushed red.

He looked at the government soldiers who were stopped at the outermost, and finally realized that Pei You's big move to bring so many Jinwu guards was not to search for people at all.

He just wants the Jinwu Guard to control his soldiers.

To humiliate him in front of so many people!
"If you have the ability, then... kill me in full view..." Chu Heng smiled ferociously.

If you don't spoil him, he is also a prince!
Don't mention that he is still a prince, so what if he returns to his original position?Bearing the notoriety of Brother Hand Blade, let's see how he can still be that prince in a legitimate way!
Pei You twitched the corners of her lips: "Your Highness may have misunderstood Pei."

As soon as he finished speaking, he let go of the hand that was strangling his neck.

Almost at the same time, another knife flashed.

Chu Heng subconsciously covered his neck, his hands were covered with blood.

The face that was still flushed just now turned pale with fright: "You...you dare...you...Pei You, you are a lunatic!"

Pei You lowered his eyebrows, and wiped off the blood stains on the dagger with the handkerchief in his hand: "I'm sorry, I only asked His Highness to see Pei's true face today."

While speaking, he clasped Chu Heng's hand with the handle of the knife, and went down with the dagger again.

Chu Heng screamed again.

One palm was pierced by a dagger, and it was directly nailed to the pillar.

He finally admitted that Pei You was not just a scholar, but a civil servant.

He knows martial arts.

And not just fur.

The knife on the neck just now cut through the skin.If it goes deeper, it will take his life.

He was almost covered in blood, yet he was spotless, with no blood on his hands.

what.

How unfair!

Even if he lived among the people and grew up in the countryside, he would have better knowledge and stronger martial arts than the prince who grew up in the palace.

Emperor Jiahe had already discovered him, right?

Deliberately hid him among the people and hired a master to teach him, right?

How else could it be possible!
Why? !
Chu Heng almost burst out laughing.

Partial, their father is too partial!
He almost wanted to say the same words as King Rui did back then: but because he was not born by the empress!
So why give birth to them? !
Pei You no longer glanced at him, and stared at the soldiers below with heavy eyes: "The fourth highness is hiding in the mansion this morning, it is a collaborator and traitor who provides clues, promotion to three levels, and a reward of ten thousand taels .”

There are a lot of guards in the palace, and there is a little commotion at the moment.

"Nonsense!" Chu Heng yelled angrily, "Don't forget who you are working for! Who is your master!"

Pei You turned a deaf ear to it, and only added coolly: "Those who know and do not report will be guilty of the whole family."

Chu Heng suddenly laughed wildly behind him.

"Do you think people are still alive? Let me tell you, they are already dead!"

He didn't care about his previous plan at all.

He just wanted to anger Pei You, to see him lose his composure, and to see him collapse.

He even felt that he should follow Fan Liu's suggestion and kill Wen's Ah Ning in the afternoon!Let's see how arrogant he is!

"Do you know how she died?" Chu Heng was nailed to the pillar, with blood on his hands, shoulders, and neck. His face was pale, and there was deep hatred in his eyes. She took off her clothes and cut off her flesh inch by inch with a dagger. She cried and begged me to let her go, and shouted loudly to Peiyou, why didn't you come to save me..."

Pei You's eyes suddenly turned red, and the veins on his forehead were all bulging, and he clenched his fist and was about to pass.

Shengsheng was grabbed by Wen Lan.

"My son! Calm down!"

Pei You didn't want to calm down any more.

He has been calm for five full hours, from Xie Mansion to the palace, from the palace to the Prince's Mansion.

There is a string in his heart, and as the sky gets darker, that string gets tighter and tighter, and now it is on the verge of breaking.

Whenever he thinks that Wen Ning may no longer be alive, the violent aura in his body rushes straight to the string that is about to be broken, making him want to destroy the world regardless of everything!
Just at this time, a loud shout sounded in the vestibule: "Get out of the way!"

Fan Liu wrapped Wen Ning under his arms, and forced the dagger to her jaw: "My lord, everything is done by the servant, and has nothing to do with the Fourth Highness!"

Chu Heng was already dazzled by jealousy and anger, but Fan Liu was sober.

He served Chu Heng as the master, and if Chu Heng fell, he would be finished.

All the guards lying in ambush on the ground came out, but the archers at the top were still there.

For the current plan, the only way is to let Shizi Pei out of the prince's mansion sideways according to the original plan. Maybe he and the Fourth Highness still have a glimmer of life.

The archer was not arranged by them, who knows where the villain came from and shot and killed the prince in the chaos? !
When Pei You saw someone coming, his dark eyes lit up, and he was about to go down the steps.

Wen Lan stopped him again.

"Sir."

Beware of scams.

Wen Ning's clothes were damp, her eyes were slightly closed, she was obviously not awake.

Pei You stared at her, and pushed Wen Lan's hand away without hesitation.

Wen Lan frowned and looked at Wen Ning, then waved back, and several Jinwu guards came forward immediately.

Fan Liu tightened his grip on his subordinates and said, "Everyone back down! This servant has something to say, and I just want to talk to Prince Pei!"

Prince Pei?
Wen Ning just couldn't bear it any longer and closed her eyes.

At this time, when I suddenly heard these three words, my consciousness came back.

She tried her best to open her eyes, and met Pei You's eyes that were so thick that they could not be opened.

He was still wearing the clothes he left in the morning, and after a day of not seeing him, he seemed to have haggarded a lot, and his complexion was extremely pale.

what happened?

She looked around with her chaotic mind, the courtyard full of mansion guards, elder brother, Dali Temple soldiers, and even... Jin Wuwei?

And her neck, being hooped, hurts so much.

Pei You had already raised his hand, ordering those who followed him to retreat.

"My lord, this matter is planned by the slave. The person is captured by the slave, and hidden by the slave. If you want the slave to release you, you have to agree to a few things!" Fan Liu hugged Wen Ning, said loudly.

Pei You still only stared at Wen Ning.

Her hands were tied behind her back, and blood was flowing down.

"Say it." His voice was still calm.

Fan Liu measured the distance.

He needs to retreat three feet, and lead Pei You to move forward three feet before he is within the range of the archer.

"The Fourth Highness didn't know about this matter, so you can't hold the Fourth Highness accountable for it afterwards."

"Dali Temple pays attention to factual evidence in handling cases. If His Highness has nothing to do with this matter, then His Highness will not be blamed for the crime."

Fan Liu took Wen Ning and took a step back, while Pei You stared at him and took a step forward.

"The slave did this on impulse, and asked the son to spare the slave's life afterwards."

"If you can turn back from the precipice and rein in your horse, I will of course intercede for you in front of His Majesty."

Although her consciousness was a little hazy, Wen Ning still saw it.

The archer lurking on the roof of the main house poked his head out behind Pei You.

Can't go any further.

Wen Ning shook her head at Pei You, signaling that there was someone above him.

Pei You didn't even notice her, she stared at her closely and came over step by step.

Started screwing again.

Wen Ning had no choice but to bite her tongue hard to wake herself up.

"Eunuch Fan, do you think you are stupid?" Wen Ning couldn't breathe, and spoke in a breathless voice, "You take the blame for your master, do you think he will be grateful to you?"

Fan Liuzheng stared at Pei You wholeheartedly: "Shut up!"

"Take care of your dagger!" Pei You said almost at the same time.

Go a little further and be even more foolproof.

Fan Liu moved the dagger away a little and continued to retreat.

"You're not that loyal to His Highness the Fourth Highness, are you?" Wen Ning stared at the archer above, "Who do you recognize as the master and not the master? Why hang yourself on a tree?"

Draw the bow.

The snowstorm has stopped.

Everyone in the courtyard watched the movement here.

The biting cold made Wen Ning's whole nerve tense up.

"In your private house, there are hidden letters from His Highness Fourth Highness collaborating with the enemy and treason. Do you think he doesn't know?"

Fan Liu's whole body trembled.

How can it be? !
How could this Wen's Ah Ning know the secret he had hidden so deeply?
Did His Highness find out?

Did His Highness tell her?
Why did you tell her? !
It's time!
Wen Ning opened her mouth and bit Fan Liu hard on the arm holding the dagger.

Fan Liu suddenly felt pain, and subconsciously moved out.

Wen Ning pushed him back with all her strength, and ran towards Pei You.

Pei You's pupils shrank suddenly, and he set out to pick up the person.

Almost at the same time, a sharp arrow pierced through the air.

After all, Wen Ning had been given so much medicine, she ran three or four steps away with all her strength, and then fell straight to the ground.

Pei You didn't need to think at all, he had already lowered his body in a blink of an eye, almost kneeling in the snow to catch the fallen person.

huh, huh, huh-

The three arrows landed steadily on the place where he had just stood.

All in the blink of an eye, Pei You hugged the girl under her, raised her head and shouted coldly: "Catch the assassin, arrest the traitor!"

When Wen Ning touched the warm embrace and smelled the familiar scent, she immediately let go of her heart.

She thought that she would cry a lot when she saw Pei You, but her confused mind was full of the image of him just pursing his lips and ignoring her hints, and walking towards her persistently.

"So disobedient." Wen Ning gritted her teeth and said, "Wait for me to go back..."

"I'll divorce you!"

In the end, I couldn't hold on any longer, and lost consciousness while leaning against his arms.
