always a fairy

Chapter 40 Secret
Walking out of the county, Bai Yujing didn't go to Fengming Tower first, because he didn't know what it was for, let alone where it was, so he simply waited until Chu Xiuran finished work before going together.

Bai Yujing planned to have a meal first, and then go to the family whose daughter died in the house.

Bai Yujing, who was walking all the way with a spirit as energetic as the rising sun, did not notice a carriage outside the gate of Xianxie at all.

A very unremarkable carriage.

The two people sitting in the carriage were Pei Jinnian, Shaoqing of Dali Temple in the Shaoyang Dynasty, and the one sitting beside him was Yin Hong.

Yin Hong whispered: "My lord, he is gone."

Pei Jinnian was leaning back on the chair with a solemn expression, holding a glass of sake in his hand, his black hair lying neatly behind him, there was no expression on his fair, almost perfect facial features, and his dark gray pupils were stern and ruthless.

He took a sip of sake to ward off the early morning chill, then waved his long sleeves and stepped out of the carriage.

His purpose seemed to be very clear, he strode into the county hall, this time he did not go through the main entrance, but the back door.

Standing in front of the dungeon, Pei Jinnian was already full of people from Dali Temple. The only cell where the prisoners were locked was opened, and the woman inside was still licking the butter paper that had wrapped the roast chicken, without caring who it was. , it seems that these people have nothing to do with her.

Tsundere cat.

Dali Temple is not looking for her, who else could it be?

Pei Jinnian glanced at the dirty cell with a sneer, and said nothing, but Yin Hong already understood what Master Shaoqing meant.

Pei Jinnian, who was born in Shaoyang's four great scholar-bureaucrat families since he was a child, was definitely intolerable for this kind of place.

Yin Hong found a chair, and set up a screen around it to block the wind that might blow over. She knew that if there was a wind blowing the dirty fallen leaves and dust on Master Shaoqing today, her head would be as close to the wind as possible. Floating to nowhere together.

Fortunately, the cold wind has stopped and the sun is shining brightly.

She is very fortunate that she can live another day.

After Yin Hong finished all this, she went to get another bottle of Little Buddha Brew, put the wine glass on the table, poured the wine, and then stepped aside.

There was still no reaction on Pei Jinnian's calm face. In the seemingly indifferent expression, there were hidden sharp eyes. Those eyes watched everything here, and no one could escape their gaze.

He was very satisfied with everything that Yin Hong did, but he still felt that it was not perfect in his heart, and he didn't know where it was not perfect, but he always felt that something was missing, but he didn't say it clearly, but looked at the woman in the prison and asked: "You look hungry."

The woman didn't speak, she was still licking the butter paper.

Pei Jinnian stretched out the middle finger and index finger of his left hand and waved forward three times, and then two Dali Temple guards came out from behind, holding two rice buckets, one with rice and one with vegetables, and placed them in front of the woman .

The woman was stunned for a moment, she poked her head to see the food in the bucket, and started eating with her hands.

The mist floating on the food is enough to prove that the bucket of food is hot, but the woman did not hesitate at all, which is enough to prove that she is very hungry.

Pei Jinnian was very patient, drinking wine glass by glass, thinking about a lot of things in his mind, he was very tired.

This kind of exhaustion was not due to lack of rest, on the contrary, he had a good rest, sleeping for three full hours every day.

As an official in the Shaoyang Dynasty, few people could sleep for three hours.

But he is still very tired. This kind of fatigue is due to a lot of thinking. He is thinking, examining and planning every moment.

This is a habit he has developed since he was a child.

Thinking is the foundation for him to settle down, and it is also the foundation for him to gain a firm foothold in this huge court.

The meal is over.

Satisfied, the woman collapsed on the ground. At this moment, she no longer cared about her own shame. She spread her legs at will, didn't help her shoulder straps fell on her chest, and didn't wipe off the vegetable stains all over her mouth. She just looked at Pei Jinnian and smiled. , her smile is very free and easy, but also very sad.

Pei Jinnian sighed, "I rarely wait for people to eat, you are indeed a very special person."

The woman said: "Really? Then I have to thank you. There are indeed quite a few people waiting for me to eat, but they only want me to finish eating quickly and then come to take off my clothes."

Pei Jinnian said: "It seems that many people have already taken off your clothes."

The woman smiled and said: "You are wrong, those who want to take off my clothes are all dead, my father, my brother, my second uncle, my third uncle, oh, I miscalculated, Bu Zhuohua is not dead yet."

Wild cats are not only arrogant, but also cute.

Pei Jinnian nodded slightly, "Oh? So you wanted to kill that water thief just because he wanted to take off your clothes?"

The woman said, "That's right, anyone who wants to take off my clothes will die."

Pei Jinnian said: "This is indeed a good excuse for a woman, isn't it?"

The woman's complexion sank, as if the bright moon that had just risen encountered a violent storm, and the fingers hidden behind her lightly clenched some sand and soil.

She wanted to use this handful of sand to escape from the dungeon surrounded by Dali Temple.

Pei Jinnian leaned back on the chair, "What did you tell him?"

The woman didn't speak, but her body was already trembling.

Pei Jinnian said: "I have countless ways to get you to speak, do you believe it?"

She has no capital for disbelief, but she is very stubborn. She is a person who refuses to admit defeat, but now she has to admit defeat.

People are inherently complicated, but the world is even more complicated. In this world, these people are as simple as a blank sheet of paper.

She lowered her head and said like an appointment: "Let's get to the point, what do you want to know?"

Pei Jinnian said, "What did you tell him?"

The woman said: "Fengming Tower."

There was no change in expression on Pei Jinnian's face, but no matter who was thinking about that face at this moment, he would feel the silent pressure, that kind of majesty and indescribable oppressive force, which was the voice of power.

"Kill her."

Pei Jinnian stood up and walked out.

The blade unsheathed and let out a heavy roar.

"and many more!"

the woman yelled.

Pei Jinnian didn't seem to want to waste any more time on her, so he didn't look back.

The woman said again: "If you kill me, you will never find that woman!"

Pei Jinnian stopped walking and stretched out his hand.

Yin Hong's saber also stopped in mid-air.

Shaoqing of Dali Temple returned to the chair, looked at the woman calmly and asked, "Where is she?"

The woman swallowed her saliva, raised her head and said, "I want to live."

Pei Jinnian sighed, looked at the blue sky and said, "That woman knows a lot of secrets that she shouldn't know, so she is going to die, if you don't tell the secrets you know, you can imagine what I will do to you .”

The woman stood up, leaning on the prison wall staggeringly, and said again: "I want to live."

Pei Jinnian said, "Aren't you afraid?"

The woman said: "Even if you torture me, I can still live. What you waste is your time. The secrets she has are enough to put many of you in danger, otherwise it is impossible to alert you to Yuhang County. I just want to live, as long as You let me live, I can tell you whatever you want to know! Especially, that secret recipe..."

"it is good."

Pei Jinnian stood up with his hands behind his back. The word "secret recipe" was the reason why he came here. This secret recipe was enough to shake up the huge interests of the entire court in Shaoyang. "What's your name?"

The woman lowered her head and said, "Xia Wanning."
