White tea legend

Chapter 160 Pei Zhaoyin

During the day, Liquanfang.

Li Laosi led four tall and upright government servants to patrol the streets.

The sun shines through the jagged treetops and dapples on their official robes.

They wear uniforms: dark round-neck robes, with thin lines on the placket and cuffs, belts around the waist, and fish bags hanging from their belts as a symbol of status.

Their robes are made of fine linen with dark patterns, with edges on the collar, sleeves, and placket, and a horizontal gusset at the hem near the knees. The colors of clothes are divided according to grade.

Except for Li Laosi who was wearing a purple robe, everyone else was wearing a green robe.

They wore black turbans and showed solemn faces. They held riding whips in their hands or put them in their sleeves and walked through the streets with a majestic attitude.

Just at the corner of the street, the young lady was sweeping the street with a broom in the flying dust.

She was wearing a blue dress, the hem of which swayed gently in the breeze. Her hair was simply tied back, with a few strands flying in the wind.

Qing Niangzi stood by the street, the expression on her face was full of dissatisfaction.

Her brows were furrowed, and there was a stubborn air in her eyes.

The corners of her mouth drooped slightly, as if she was muttering something silently.

Her hands holding the broom were clenched into fists.

"Isn't that the sister of Mrs. White at Lu Yu Thatched Cottage?" A subordinate asked Mr. Li, "Why don't you grab medicine from the Thatched Cottage and come here to sweep the streets? That's also strange."

Mr. Li was also surprised. Just when Mr. Li was about to step forward to ask, suddenly, a burst of noise broke the tranquility in the room.

I saw a group of officials from Jingzhao Mansion rushing over in a menacing manner. Their target is actually Qing Niangzi! The leader was a stern-faced head catcher. He was approaching step by step with a chain in his hand, his eyes revealing an indescribable determination.

"Ms. Qing, you are suspected of a serious crime. Now, under the orders of Jingzhao Mansion, you will be arrested immediately!" The arrester's voice was like a thunderbolt from the blue, shocking the onlookers to panic.

Qing Niangzi was already angry, but now blood rushed to her forehead: "Qingtian Bairi, you must be sick!"

But her words were pale and weak under the iron fist of the official.

Mr. Li frowned. How could he, a small patrol inspector of Wuhoupu, disobey the order of Jingzhao Mansion?
But I don’t know why, and I don’t know where the courage came from. It probably involved Lu Yu Thatched Cottage.

In short, he signaled the government officials to stay alert, and he took a step forward and asked in a deep voice: "Master Captor, is there any conclusive evidence for this matter?"

The head catcher sneered and squinted at Li Laosi: "If you have any evidence, Mr. Li can just ask Mr. Jing Zhaoyin. We are only responsible for arresting people."

After saying this, he ignored Master Li and waved his hand to order his men to cuff the young lady.

Qing Niangzi's eyes were already glowing green, and the shackles on her wrists were about to be broken into powder. Bai Niangzi and Xuanfeng sprang out from nowhere.

Soon after, Bai Cha held Xiao Qing down.

Xiaoqing suddenly woke up.

Her sister had told her that now that she was a human being, she could not abuse her magic power.

She was punished by her sister to sweep the streets because she abused her magic power against Lord Xie Lang's servants.

With her sister present, Xiaoqing suddenly felt at ease.

She knew her sister would definitely get her.

So, obediently and quietly, he followed the arresters from Jingzhao Mansion.

Bai Niangzi and Xuanfeng watched Xiaoqing and his entourage leave, then turned to look at Li Laosi: "Master Li, did you report the truth to Master Jing Zhaoyin about the murder case in Beitian Court last time?"

"I reported it. Mr. Pei Zhaoyin didn't believe it at the time, but later the cooks in Beitian Court were released. The cooks explained that the aconite was used to treat a beggar suffering from epilepsy..."

Bai Cha probably understood that Pei Zhaoyin was probably an upright official. Although he was doubtful, he still judged the case based on the facts and was not a confused official. Bai Cha gave Li Laosi a "ten thousand blessings gift" and left with Xuan Feng.

……

In Lu Yu Thatched Cottage, Xie Qingzhou and Mu Bai looked at everything in the room suspiciously.

Just now, it was clear that his wife was still checking his pulse, and shopkeeper Xuanfeng was also grabbing medicine at the counter, but the two of them disappeared without saying a word.

……

At this moment, Chang'an Jingzhao Yin Pei Huanzhi was in his study, frowning in thought.

I think he came from a noble family in Sanfu and had a young career. At first, he entered the officialdom as a provincial tribute scholar. Later, he moved to Jeju as the governor and was named the first governor of Xuanzhou.

During his tenure, he worked diligently and loved the people, paid attention to farming and mulberry farming, and promoted the land equalization method, so that the people could live and work in peace and contentment and production was orderly.

Later, due to his outstanding political achievements, he was appreciated by today's saints and promoted to Chang'an Jing Zhaoyin.

Jingzhao is the center of the world, and its affairs are complicated and difficult for anyone without the talent to deal with.

After Lord Pei took office, he found that rice was expensive in Chang'an and the people's livelihood was difficult.

He immediately went to Shusheng and proposed to dig canals, divert water for irrigation, and increase the farmland area to relieve the worry of expensive grains.

After getting the saint's approval, he personally supervised the work and soon completed this huge project.

Since then, the grain production in Chang'an has increased significantly, the people no longer have to worry about eating, and social order is in order.

He also vigorously rectified public security and severely punished lawbreakers, making the capital peaceful and business travel smooth.

The murder in Beitianyuan made the saint furious. It was also a tragedy that had never happened since he took up his duties.

Even if the saint does not criticize harshly, he himself will have to reflect again and again. How is this possible?
Since he took up his duties, the city of Chang'an has been peaceful and prosperous, but how could such a tragedy suddenly occur.

Now he understood that it was the monsters causing trouble!
Master Pei felt irritable and uneasy inside.

His brows were furrowed and his face was gloomy, as if there was an invisible pressure on his heart.

He paced around the room anxiously, but he also understood that anxiety could not solve the problem. Natural disasters and man-made disasters were easy to deal with, but how to deal with monsters?
The half-open door opened slightly, and a gorgeously dressed woman walked into the study. She was Mrs. Pei.

Wearing an elegant embroidered long skirt, the hem of the skirt swayed gently with her steps, revealing a silent elegance.

Her hair was tied up in a high bun and delicately fixed with hairpins. A few strands of hair hung gently on the side of her fair neck, adding a bit of softness.

Mrs. Pei held an exquisite tea cup in her hand. The tea was steaming hot and the fragrance of tea was overflowing.

Her face is gentle, with a touch of kindness and kindness between her brows, like a moving picture.

She gently placed the tea cup on the table and smiled. The smile was like the warm sunshine of spring, warm and peaceful.

She whispered to Pei Zhaoyin: "My lord, you have been busy for a long time. You might as well take a break and taste this cup of tea."

Her voice is soft and kind, like a clear spring flowing in the heart, making people feel extremely comfortable and peaceful.

Pei Zhaoyin raised his head and looked at the gentle and virtuous wife in front of him, and he couldn't help but feel grateful in his heart.

He took the tea cup and took a sip gently. The fragrance of the tea instantly filled his entire mouth, making him feel an indescribable pleasure.

"Madam, is this the Mengding Mountain tea soup given by the saint?"

"No."

"No wonder I think the tea soup tastes different."

"What's the difference?" Mrs. Pei walked up behind Pei Zhaoyin, gently squeezed his shoulders, and asked.
