Chapter 553 Pei Shisanniang: The unspeakable secret with Governor Ouyang
Pei Shisanniang had a long dream.
This dream comes on and off.
There is only a trace of clear consciousness left, and the fragments that I try to piece together are also all kinds of strange.
In the dream, she was riding in a carriage as usual, wearing a purple and gold silk fabric that was so expensive that even a commoner could not afford it with all their hard work. She looked around casually, and the carriage under her was being cheered and swaggered by the accompanying domestic slaves.
Driving on the streets of Xingzifang.
The people around her looked at her motorcade in awe and consciously moved out of the way.
In the distance, a giant Buddha is slowly rising in the center of Xingzifang.
Shen Bingqiang was also there, and went in and out of the Governor's Mansion freely with her, discussing the matter of the Xingzifang statue with the powerful Wei Shaoqi, Lin Cheng, Wang Lengran and others.
At the same time, with the cooperation of the governor's office, she secretly purchased and monopolized other core properties in Xingzifang at low prices.
Everything is going well.
But the only strange thing is that there is always a clear blue moon hanging in the sky above our heads.
No matter it's day or night, this blue moon is always there.
But the pedestrians on the street, as well as the people around her, seemed to be used to it. No one looked surprised, no one even looked up, they were all doing their own thing.
Pei Shisanniang couldn't help but frown and looked up from time to time.
But after seeing it too much, I get used to thinking about it, and these details are quickly forgotten.
There was no time to think too much, and the scenes in front of me were switched and staged like movie clips.
There were scenes of her swaggering in and out of the governor's house, and Jiangzhou officials looked at her with fear.
At the banquet held in Xunyang Tower, she entertained dignitaries from various states in Jiangnan Province with ease, changing cups and cups, and promoting transactions in the power field like a lubricant.
Under her operation, top-level garden mansions were built on the demolished Xingzifang land, attracting wealthy businessmen and nobles from Jiangnan, and turning it into one of the few rich areas in Jiangnan Road. Every night, people were intoxicated...
…
The scenes she was in were constantly changing, and Pei Shisanniang was dizzy, and the vanity of a business woman was greatly satisfied.
With the support of Wang Lengran and the Wei family, no one in Jiangzhou or even Jiangnan could restrict her, and everything she wanted to do was accomplished.
Pei Shisanniang felt that everything was beautiful and like a dream.
And this time, she cleverly and smoothly solved the big trouble between the Wang family and her son, earning Lin Cheng's gratitude. In the end, she perfectly assisted Lin Cheng in building the Giant Buddha at the Xingzi Lake construction site, and with the help of the power of the Wei family and Wang Lengran, she gained power in Jiangnan officialdom.
She was able to make waves and even become the richest widow in the south of the Yangtze River by virtue of the Xingzifang land. Even her fellow villagers in Yangzhou, as well as her fellow wealthy businessmen with a profound background who had looked down on her in the past, all gathered around her and looked at her in the center of the crowd.
Give him a look of awe and respect.
But soon, Pei Shisanniang discovered something was wrong.
In other words, a common difference.
In these scenes, there is always a lonely slender figure standing at the very back of the crowd, looking at her from a distance in the corner. Pei Shisanniang cannot see his specific face, it is blurry, and she can only vaguely see it.
He was wearing a crimson official uniform. He looked familiar, but I couldn't remember it.
It's the same every time. This lonely, slender figure, like the blue moon in the sky outside the window, has always existed.
At first, Pei Shisanniang, who was immersed in beautiful dreams, didn't pay much attention to them until the next scene became familiar to her. In fact, Pei Shisanniang didn't know why she was so familiar with this scene, as if she had experienced it once.
In the picture, she and Shen Bingqiang swaggered into the Jiangzhou Governor's Mansion to discuss important matters. When they went out, they took a carriage together, but there was a traffic jam at the door. They met an ordinary carriage.
Both sides opened the curtains at the same time, and it was vaguely visible that in the carriage opposite, there was a lone, slender figure sitting upright. The crimson official uniform was very bright and familiar.
It was exactly the blurry figure watching with cold eyes from behind the crowd in the previous sub-picture.
Pei Shisanniang, who was originally careless, was instantly attracted to her.
Shen Bingqiang, who was beside him, was sarcastic as usual, while the slender figure in the carriage opposite never moved, with a calm posture.
Pei Sanniang vaguely heard the words in Shen Bingqiang's mouth and suddenly woke up.
This person was none other than Ouyang Lianghan, who was demoted to the rank of Sima of Jiangzhou. He was a former governor of Jiangzhou and the main figure who firmly opposed the upscale transformation of Xingzifang and the statue of Xingzi Lake.
Before Pei Shisanniang could react, the two sides had already passed each other, and the vague and calm slender figure disappeared at the end of the street.
Pei Sanniang had no time to regret, and soon found herself standing at the completion site of the Donglin Giant Buddha. Together with Wei Shaoqi, Lin Cheng, Wang Lengran, Shen Bingqiang and others, they witnessed the merger of the Buddha heads and the complete completion of the Donglin Giant Buddha.
.
She had even prepared in advance the ribbon-cutting ceremony to celebrate the completion.
There was a "boom" sound.
In the field of vision, the Buddha's head and body completely merge.
The whole audience cheered, and Pei Shisanniang was also very emotional. Just as her face was filled with joy and she was thinking endlessly about her future.
There was a daytime sky overhead, and the blue moon that I had long been accustomed to and thought would remain unchanged suddenly fell down.
That's right, it fell down.
As she raised her head, her suddenly shrunken pupils kept dilating and dilating... and then they landed on the head of the giant Buddha, and their heads.
Wherever the blue moon goes.
The head of the majestic Buddha falls to the ground.
All the companions around her also fell to the ground, including several noble people whose status and power made her look up to them with great humility:
Wei Shaoqi, Lin Cheng, Wang Lengran, Shen Bingqiang next to him, and everyone else standing on the field.
Their heads slipped from their necks. In front of the blue moon, all living beings are equal.
Suddenly, at the foot of the Buddha, heads were rolling and blood was flowing all over the ground.
Finally, this blue moon hovered above her head.
Under the blue light, blood began to spread all over her vision like paint on a wall.
Pei Shisanniang was stunned, and suddenly her eyes felt sore.
She raised her hand and wiped it. It turned out that the blood of her companion Shen Bingqiang splashed from her neck into her eyes, dyeing the world in front of her red.
Just when the world was soaked in blood and occupied, she tried to open her eyes wide and saw that everyone's heads were on the ground, and there was a figure standing alone in the distance, seemingly watching with cold eyes.
It seems to be...Ouyang Lianghan.
The next moment, the bright blue moon hanging upside down fell towards her head.
Pei Shisanniang's liver and gallbladder are about to burst.
My eyes suddenly fell into darkness.
…
"Ah - help -!"
Pei Shisanniang woke up in the darkness, looked around, and trembled: "Where...where is this?"
She looked confused and found herself lying on a bed in the dark.
There were two waiting female officials around, one was packing the tray and the other was preparing to light the lamp. At this moment, they turned their heads to look curiously.
Pei Shisanniang suddenly felt a chill on her back, which was soaked with cold sweat. She lowered her head and saw that she was wearing a white underwear, which was quite tight and highlighted the waist and hips of a widowed woman in her thirties.
Her plump curves, especially her half-kneeling movement at this time, increasingly highlighted her peach buttocks wrapped in underwear.
But she didn't pay attention to this. There was a bitter taste like rust in her mouth. She turned her head blankly and found that the medicine bowl in the tray that the female officer had collected was empty. She must have just finished giving her Chinese medicine.
"Hey, you're awake?" A female historian said in surprise, leaving one person behind while the other quickly went out.
Pei Sanniang had a look of shock and confusion on her face. She came back to her senses only after being patiently comforted by a gentle female historian next to her. The female historian said warmly: "President Pei, this is the Supervisory Yuan. You are safe now."
Pei Shisanniang struggled to swallow her saliva: "How long have I been unconscious? Now... what time is it now?"
Wen Wen, the female historian, reported the date. When she was in a daze, she asked again: "President Pei, do you still remember the scene on the day when the Buddha's head was reunited?"
Pei Shisanniang hugged her knees, her face was lost in thought, and she did not answer.
Upon seeing this, the gentle female historian took the initiative to talk about what happened after she fell into coma, as well as the current situation.
"Young Master Wei, Young Master Lin, and Mr. Wang are all dead? And Vice President Shen, only... I am the only one who is still alive?"
Pei Shisanniang murmured to herself: "Vice-President Shen is dead, but I am not dead, so I walked around alone... Also, the murderer was the blue moon... Wait, Meng... Meng?"
After a while, she didn't know what she thought of, but she suddenly shivered and tried her best to shrink back into the quilt.
Evening has just arrived, and it's pitch black outside, and the lights haven't been turned on in thousands of houses.
The gentle female historian lit an oil lamp and went to open the window.
But she was stopped by Pei Shisanniang, her eyes full of horror: "Don't light the lamp, close the windows, cover the moon, cover the moon, don't let it in!"
The gentle female historian frowned, quickly turned off the lights, and closed the window at the same time: "Are you afraid of the moon?"
Pei Shisanniang looked hesitant, "Who is in charge of you? Who is in charge of the city now?"
"Rong Zhen Nv Shi and Deputy Supervisor Song Zheng, Rong Zhen Nv Shi will be here shortly, don't worry."
"That female historian..." Pei Shisanniang muttered to herself, then suddenly raised her head and begged:
"I have recovered. Can you...can you let me go home? I am homesick and want to go back to Yangzhou."
The gentle female officer looked serious: "No, you are an important witness now. Let you go unless you get the consent of the female historian."
At this time, the door to the ward was suddenly pushed open, and Rong Zhen walked in. Judging from her tired appearance, she must have arrived urgently.
"Ms. Shi, you can't light the lamp, and the door must be closed. She seems to be afraid of the moon." The gentle female officer explained in a low voice.
Rong Zhen frowned and nodded, put down the lantern, closed the door, entered the room alone, came to the bed, and whispered:
"President Pei, you finally woke up. Don't worry, it's safe here now... You were at the scene the day Lin Cheng and the other two were beheaded by 'Blue Moon'. Did you notice anything strange? Can you tell us about the situation at that time?"
Pei Shisanniang looked hesitant: "I... I don't remember much, but as for the strangeness... I didn't expect that I was not dead... I had a very strange dream."
"It's really strange that you're not dead...what kind of strange dream is this?"
She winced: "This dream is hazy, I can't remember it clearly, I only have some general ideas."
"It's okay. You tell the truth. As long as I'm here, no one in Xunyang City dares to hurt you." Rong Zhen held her hand and his eyes brightened: "Actually, in the knowledge of the Yin and Yang family that I have, this
The parties’ post-event dreams are the truth constructed by the subconscious mind, and their accuracy is not low.”
"It's just a dream. Concubine... I'm just talking about my identity. It's not considered evidence, nor does it identify anything. It's just for the female historian's reference..."
"Okay, you tell me." Rong Zhen leaned forward with a serious face.
"I dreamed about the blue moon, and... and..." Just as Pei Shisanniang was hesitating, there was some movement in the yard outside.
The door was pushed open again, and a slender figure strode in. The crimson official uniform was very dazzling in the dim room. He didn't bother to close the door and walked quickly to the couch with a concerned tone.
"Is President Pei okay?" Ouyang Rong looked at the beautiful woman on the hospital bed, seemed relieved, and turned his head: "Thank you Rong Nu Shi for sending someone to inform me. I was a little late because of something else."
"It doesn't matter." Rong Zhen shook his head and motioned for him to sit down together. At the same time, he introduced to Pei Shisanniang: "This is Ouyang Governor, you should know him, but he is now the acting Governor, taking over the duties of Lin Cheng and Wang Governor... Yes
Okay, you continue what you just said."
But Pei Shisanniang on the bed turned a deaf ear. When she saw Ouyang Rong's appearance and the bright moon hanging in the sky in the direction of the door behind him, her face froze for a moment, and then she fell back... and fainted.
"..."
Rong Zhen and Ouyang Rong looked at each other.
Wen Nvshi quickly ran to close the door: "She...seems to be afraid of the moon."
Rong Zhen was speechless and ordered the people around him: "Check it quickly!"
Ouyang Rong turned around and glanced at the moon outside the door, his expression thoughtful...
Half an hour later.
Ouyang Rong walked on the corridor outside the door with his hands behind his back. From time to time he turned his head and glanced at the ward door not far away, his face calm.
Pei Shisanniang passed out again not long ago. The female doctor checked her pulse and said she was fine, but she was too frightened. Now Rong Zhen and the female doctor are inside, checking her body, so it is not convenient for men to enter.
At this time, Rong Zhen walked out of the ward. Ouyang Rong saw her frowning slightly: "I'm awake. I asked a few questions."
Ouyang Rongwen asked: "How did you say that?"
"She said she had a headache and her memory of that day was blurred. She couldn't even remember whether the tripod sword came out of the Buddha's head first."
Ouyang Rong nodded calmly: "Don't you even remember this? What about the others?"
"I don't remember. I asked her if she was kind to others, but she didn't know. Ouyang Lianghan, go in and have a look. You should have known her before. Although she did not do it right when it came to switching to Lin Cheng.
But you two can be considered acquaintances, so be magnanimous and appease..."
"Okay." Ouyang Rong nodded and immediately walked into the ward to visit.
Arriving at the bedside, Rong Zhen pointed at Ouyang Rong trustingly, comforted Pei Shisanniang and said:
"It's okay. Your Majesty and the other officials from the Political Affairs Hall have appointed Ouyang Sima as the bachelor of the Xiuwen Museum. He will also act as the governor of Jiangzhou and have full authority to handle Jiangzhou and statue matters. Now, with the governor Ouyang and me here in Xunyang City, it is absolutely safe.
If you have any inconvenience to say, you can tell me, I and Governor Ouyang will definitely make the decision for you!"
The plump and beautiful woman held the medicine bowl, lowered her head and sipped the medicine. When she heard a series of official positions of someone, she lowered her head and said solemnly: "Thank you very much, Governor Ouyang, for your concern. I am feeling much better, and there is no problem."
It’s inconvenient to say.”
"Are you confused too?" Rong Zhen asked, "Well, I am timid, and my mind went blank at that time, and I don't remember anything..." Pei Shisanniang timidly raised her head and found Ouyang Rong casting a calm gaze on her.
Try your best to smile and answer respectfully.
Rong Zhen suddenly asked curiously: "Did you mention any dreams you had before and wanted to tell me about them?"
"No, it's nothing. It's just an ordinary dream. I forget it when I wake up and turn over."
She said weakly, without squinting her eyes, not looking at the figure of the young man in crimson official uniform who was listening calmly beside her.
After a while, Pei Shisanniang, who had calmed down a little, said again in a very firm and affirmative tone in front of Rong Zhen and Ouyang Rong that many memories of the scene at that time were blurred, including how the blue moon came out.
I forgot, and I get a headache just thinking about it... Anyway, I just don't know what to ask.
Rong Zhen sighed slightly, turned around and cast a helpless look at Ouyang Rong. Ouyang Rong also cast a comforting look at her.
"Okay, you can continue to rest."
Rong Zhen frowned, with a look of regret on his face. He comforted Pei Shisanniang in a low voice, turned around and looked at Ouyang Rong, and they walked out of the ward together.
As he was leaving the house, Ouyang Rong suddenly turned his head and looked at the hospital bed in the darkness.
I saw Pei Shisanniang hiding under the quilt, looking straight at his back with her eyes exposed. After he discovered her, her pale and haggard face immediately tried her best to squeeze out a humble and trying-to-please smile.
, his eyes were full of pleading expressions of submission.
Ouyang Rong turned around and left, eyebrows raised slightly.
