The carriage that stopped at the head of Pei's house quickly dispersed.

It was still the head of Sun Mancang of Xiangmanlou, but when he left, Sun Mancang didn't know whether intentionally or unintentionally, he pulled a green vegetable from the vegetable field that had not yet grown and put it in his sleeve.

The other two shopkeepers didn't know why Sun Mancang was like this, but Pei Youdao was shocked when he saw it.

Fortunately, Wang Shoucai and Li Sanxian did not follow suit and also brought one back, otherwise their Pei family would really be completely finished.

With a smile, he sent the three people away, and as soon as he turned around, Pei Youdao's face was so gloomy that he could drip water.

"Daddy......"

Pei Shixin wanted to say something, but was stopped by Pei Youdao waving his hand: "Okay, let's go back to the house if there is anything." ”

The people of Taiyuan 'Sanxiang' have not gone far, and there are many outsiders temporarily hired by their Pei family around, and there are many people, so it is really not a good place to talk.

The three of them got into the carriage, and saw that Pei Youdao had a gloomy face and did not speak, and the two brothers of the Pei family were also chattering and did not dare to speak.

There was a problem with the spring water in the ancient well.

In fact, Pei Youdao had already noticed it two days ago, and now almost all of the water used by their Pei family to eat and drink every day comes from the ancient well in the back house of the Tang family, and the change in the taste of the well water is naturally the first to be known to their Pei family.

Although it is still clear to the bottom, but its taste is no longer as sweet and clear as it was at the beginning, and now the well water from the ancient well is colorless and tasteless, and it tastes no different from other well water.

After perceiving this problem, Pei Youdao knew that their Pei family was finished. The original plan to make a fortune, the original strategy of the Xing clan, were all beaten up at this moment.

If there is a problem with the well water, the green vegetables will definitely no longer have the original taste, and the green vegetables that have changed their taste, will they still want them in Dingxianglou and Xiangmanlou? There is also the holy oracle that was just sent to their house from Chang'an, as soon as the holy decree was issued, their Pei family's green vegetables became no longer extraordinary, what would others think? What would the emperor think? If someone makes a slander at this time, how can dozens of people in his Pei family be alive again?

In the past two days, Pei Youdao has been guarding the side of the ancient well, and the gods and Buddhas of the Mantian and the ancestors of the Pei family have been begged by him one by one, hoping that this ancient well can be restored again.

Now, the Pei family's big stall has been rolled out, and the name of the Pei family's green vegetables is even known to the emperor who is far away in Chang'an, and now it is impossible to withdraw it again and restore it to before the Pei family gets the ancestral home of the Tang family, so the only thing that can save the Pei family now is the ancient well and the spiritual spring.

It's just a pity that the gods and Buddhas that Pei Youdao asked for didn't seem to be at home, and they didn't hear his sincere begging, the ancient well is still there, the well water is still there, and the dilemma faced by their Pei family is still the same.

The father and son returned to the living room, Pei Youdao looked at the two sons in front of him with a lonely expression, and said softly: "Although today's crisis has been dealt with, it is only for our Pei family to buy a few days to survive. ”

"Dad, in my opinion, we are eighty percent of Tang Xiu's bastards!" Pei Shixin said loudly: "Otherwise, he would be fine after using it for so long, why did our Pei family become like this in less than a few days?" He must have done it behind his back! ”

Pei Shiyuan also echoed: "Yes, Dad, you must have nothing to do with Tang Xiu!" ”

This is a typical wicked person suing first, but they were really blinded to the point, if it weren't for Tang Xiu's secret design to add fuel to the fire, their Pei family would not have come to this point so quickly.

"Tang Xiu, does he have such a great ability to control the changes in the Spirit Spring at will?" Pei Youdao looked at his two sons like idiots, "Take 10,000 steps back, even if all this is Tang Xiu's ghost, is it still useful to say this now?" ”

Pei Shiyuan and Pei Shixin glanced at each other, and at the same time bowed their heads and were speechless.

Pulling out Tang Xiu was just to make their own hearts feel better, in fact, they didn't believe that Tang Xiu, the straw bag loser, could do this.

"If you can't do it, run, you two brothers, let's leave tonight!" Pei Youdao said with a resolute face: "Take your little sister and go directly to Chang'an to join your brother-in-law, with your eldest sister here, your brother-in-law will definitely cover up for you." ”

Pei Shiyuan Pei Shixin's face changed: "Dad, what about your mother?" ”

"Somebody has to stay and clean up this mess." Pei Youdao shook his head lightly with a gloomy face, "That Sun Mancang in Xiangmanlou has obviously noticed something, maybe someone is already watching outside our mansion now, and I and your mother can't leave." ”

"Besides, even if you can go, what can you do?" Pei Youdao sighed and said: "I have offended so many powerful people in Taiyuan City, if I don't give them an explanation, I am afraid that the entire Tang Dynasty will not have a place for our Pei family." ”

If the people behind Dingxianglou and Changxiangge don't mention it, just the Xiangmanlou family is not something that their Pei family can afford to provoke.

Cheng Chuliang: What kind of character is that? Not to mention a small Taiyuan City, even in Chang'an, the family is also the master who can walk sideways, offended him, and owed them money to the Cheng family, how can you run?

"Dad," Pei Shiyuan said, "Otherwise, let the child stay." I am the son of the Pei family, and the Pei family is in trouble, so I can't just run away with my tail between my legs. ”

"It's rare that you have a piece of filial piety." Pei Youdao shook his head lightly: "But your weight is not enough, and now I am the only one who can stay and settle this matter." ”

"Daddy." Pei Shixin, who had never spoken, suddenly spoke up and said to Pei Youdao: "Maybe there is a way to get our Pei family out of the current predicament." ”

"What's the solution?!" Pei Youdao and Pei Shiyuan all turned their heads to look at Pei Shixin.

Pei Shixin's head has always been more flexible, although his grades in reading are not very good, but in the business field, he has helped Pei Youdao with advice over the years, Pei Youdao is also more dependent on him than Pei Shiyuan, maybe he really has any good solutions.

Pei Shixin calmed down, and said softly to his father and brother in front of him: "If we destroy the hundred acres of vegetable fields outside the city and the ancient well in the Tang family's back house, what do you think will be the result?" ”

"Ruined?"

Pei Shiyuan was stunned, but Pei Youdao's eyes lit up, his right hand slapped on the table, and he shouted excitedly: "Why didn't I think of it?!" ”

Destroying the vegetable fields and ancient wells, and directly putting the Pei family in the victim's position, not only can you successfully get rid of the blame from Chang'an, but if you operate it properly, maybe the 300,000 yuan of liquidated damages can also be reduced as appropriate.

You must know that in the eyes of those people outside now, the ancient well of the Tang family and the vegetable fields outside the city are the lifeblood of their Pei family, who would have thought that their Pei family would destroy their own cornucopia?

"Now there are not a few people in Taicheng City who covet our Pei family Gujing, and it is not impossible for a few people to be jealous and impatient to make a secret move." Pei Shixin smiled gloomily: "And Tang Xiu, his motive is the most obvious, because all this originally belonged to him, and he was not angry that our Pei family had occupied their Tang family's ancestral house and seized the fortune that belonged to him, and it was reasonable to secretly hire someone to destroy it." ”

"Hmm." Pei Youdao nodded lightly, "That's a good idea, but just in case, you still have to go out of the city tonight to take shelter, and don't come back until this matter is settled!" ”

At this time, the housekeeper Pei Wan hurriedly came from outside, entered the hall and said to Pei Youdao respectfully: "Master, the shopkeeper of Xiangmanlou Sun came to pay a visit." ”

When Pei Youdao heard this, his face changed, and he cursed softly: "This old thing, it's really timely!" ”

Waving his hand and signaling the two sons to wait in the backyard first, Pei Youdao sat quietly for a while to clean up his mood, and then ordered Pei Wan in a loud voice: "Go and invite him in." ”
