Chapter 41: Behind the Prosperity
"That's good, so let's decide. Tomorrow night, Luo Qiao, Ah Ke, and Zhong Ling will stay at the inn and watch, and the rest of us will go to Pei's Mansion with me. ”
After listening, Mu Yun immediately arranged it there.
The next night, according to Feng Tianyou's arrangement, the four of them arrived at Pei's Mansion in advance, set up an ambush there, and waited for the master of the Pei family to appear.
Well, I have to admit that this Feng Tianyou, although it looks very indecent on weekdays, but let him arrange a plan, the arrangement is quite thorough, and he thinks about every step in such detail, it is almost foolproof.
It's almost time, and the master of the Pei family really appeared. Mo Keran and Feng Tianyou were the first to jump out of the grass, blocking him in front of him and subduing him.
Mo Keran's eyes were quick, and he took out the black cloth they had prepared in advance, covering his eyes.
Feng Tianyou was still there and yelled at him twice, signaling him to be quiet and not to make a sound, he was not majestic at this time. When?
The master of the Pei family was also very obedient, he didn't resist, he just followed them obediently.
His expression looked calm, and he walked with ease, as if he had expected this to be like this, or maybe it was a part of his life.
It's just that I don't want to think so much, anyway, I'll know sooner or later.
Mo Keran and Feng Tianyou continued to walk forward, and they didn't stop until they reached a place that Mu Yun and the others had arranged in advance.
When they arrived at that place, the two of them pushed the master of the Pei family forward hard, and the man stumbled and fell in front of Mu Yun and Mu Youlin.
The man probably also realized that he had arrived, and knelt in front of them in a proper manner, talking there again and again.
"Ladies and gentlemen, please spare my life, I will go wherever you want me to go, I can give you as much as you want, I just ask you not to harm the lives of our family. I beg you, don't hurt my wife and children......"
The man began to speak, his voice trembling slightly, but his speed of speech was so eager. His body trembled there from time to time.
It could be heard from his tone that he was really afraid of them, probably because he thought they were someone else, so he was so afraid, those people must have made him do something, and the bet was likely to be the life of his family.
Did they say anything, they just quietly listened to what the old man of the Pei family was talking about. Although the amount of information was a bit large for a while, they still listened as carefully as they could, thinking about what he meant by these words.
However, they only felt that the more they listened, the more confused they became, and the more confused they became. What he said, here and there. The four of them listened in the clouds, and they couldn't figure out what to do at all, what kind of mess was going where.
Feng Tianyou hates others chattering in his ear the most in his life, and this person also has his own troubles. But he wanted him to be there all the time, saying that if he wanted to scare and scare him, he must scare and scare him well.
He rolled his eyes and thought of a good idea.
"If we live here in the Netherworld, will you go?"
He spoke to the man in a weird tone. In fact, several of them are also a little impatient, and if they listen to him talk there like this, they will definitely collapse.
"This ...... The...... Master, it's still ...... Still...... Please also ...... Are you ...... Extraordinarily open...... Well, Rao...... Plentiful...... Spare a small ...... One life. ”
However, it seems that Feng Tianyou's words did have an effect, and it scared this person a lot, and he began to stammer. His body was shaking, too.
"If you want to live, give me peace." Mu Youlin also took the opportunity to be mighty, and shouted viciously at people, she has never been so majestic.
This majesty is also majestic, and you should think about what they are here for this time.
After the audience fell silent, Mu Yun asked the person slowly.
"Master Pei, what do you mean by what you just said, you can live wherever you live, why is this?"
The man listened to Mu Yun's words, was stunned for a moment, tilted his head, turned his ear to them, and listened carefully to their voices, as if there was indeed something wrong.
Although they couldn't see his eyes now, they could tell that his forehead had been wrinkled into Sichuan characters.
"Who are you?"
The man realized that they were not in league with the people who had come before them, though they were not as vicious as the people before them. However, the master of the Pei family was still very puzzled, who were these people and what they were here for.
"Our boss asks you something, you just answer truthfully, don't ask so much, otherwise we will ask your head."
The majesty just now is not enough, Mu Youlin wants to take this opportunity to be majestic again.
"Yes, yes, the subordinate is obedient." The man said again and again.
He suddenly fell into deep thought, and he couldn't answer the question for a moment. After being silent for a long time, he asked slowly.
"You're not a local, are you?" The master of the Pei family asked.
Yes and no, although they have been living in this swallow land, but several of them have been living in the forest, and they don't know anything about things outside the forest at all, so naturally they are not locals.
"That's right, we're not locals." Mo Keran replied.
"Ladies and gentlemen, please forgive me, I advise you not to have anything to do with this time."
The master of the Pei family took a deep breath and said to them in a serious tone. However, he still didn't tell them the ins and outs of all this, just persuaded them to leave quickly.
How willing a few of them were, as soon as he said this, they were just more curious.
"But it doesn't matter if you say it, we have nothing to do with you."
When Mu Yun saw him like this, he seemed to be serious, really out of concern for them.
He slowly crouched down, crouched down next to the man, patted him lightly on the shoulder, and whispered something in his ear that would reassure him. Because, they just want the truth.
As soon as he said this, the man couldn't say anything more, so he began to tell some things about Yandi.
And they stood there quietly and listened. What happened next surprised them all. Mu Youlin was even more stunned, it turned out that she had only been exposed to beautiful things in the palace over the years.
This matter is a long story, as they have seen, Yandi is very prosperous, and even more prosperous than the imperial capital. There are many rich people in Yandi, but this is not accidental, but inevitable, the reason why these people can get rich is because they took refuge in some big officials in the last battle.
However, the original choice also cost them a terrible price. The price they paid was far greater than the benefits they received.
In the beginning, a few of them just wanted to make a fortune, and they didn't think about it that much.
However, their ambitions are getting bigger and bigger, and what they do is becoming more and more dangerous, and they even do things that violate the rules and violate human nature.
Later, they were unknowingly caught by others. That's when their nightmare began.
……
Looking at the "poor" person in front of them, listening to him talk about these things, they sympathized with him a little less, all of this can be regarded as his own fault, and now they just feel a little unworthy for him.
The old man of the Pei family continued to speak, and as he spoke, he touched on a sensitive topic.
"Now the emperor is mediocre and incompetent, and he is only obsessed with his spiritual power day by day, just thinking about how to improve his spiritual power, and he doesn't care about the government at all."
"Don't talk nonsense here, let you talk about things related to this inn, what are you doing with the emperor? I don't have the ability, I have done some unsightly things, and I have to blame the emperor......"
As soon as she heard this person say bad things about her father, Mu Youlin became angry.
She strode up to the man and yelled at him angrily. She picked up her fist and almost punched him hard in the back, but Mo Keran's eyes were quick, and when Yulin raised her fist, she grabbed her tightly, so that she didn't lose control.
"Yulin, don't interrupt."
Mu Yun gave Yu Lin a look and motioned for him to be quiet. is so excited that it will inevitably attract the attention of others.
Sensing that several of them had calmed down, the man continued. However, he realized that there were some things that he did not explain clearly, but what he said was true.
"The lower officials dare not lie, and what the lower officials say is true." The man explained earnestly.
After that, in order to avoid the recurrence of the phenomenon just now, he simply skipped this topic and talked directly about the inn, saying that the inn business here was not as good as a few of them saw.
In fact, because of the large number of inns here, there are few strangers coming and going, so the inns here are actually extremely bleak.
"However, a few of us saw that the inn here was full almost every day, what was going on?"
This time it was Mo Keran who interrupted him, where he asked them what they were most concerned about.
"Do you think it's strange that no matter when you go to live, how many people go to stay, there will always be a vacant room there, in short, just enough for you to live."
The man continued, uttering their greatest doubts.
"Yes, we find this strange thing too, do you know why?"
"The people who stayed at the inn were in the same situation as me, we were all caught by others, and it was the people who opened the inn that caught us. They used this as a threat to us to stay in their inn, and they demanded no less price. Those inns are actually some of the places where they fish for us. ”
The man said silently, and at this he stopped, sighed softly, and whispered again, as if it were only for himself.
"That's fine, at least, it can ensure that the whole family is safe."
