"Caught? Are you sure? ”

In the hall of Pei's mansion, Pei Youdao, who was waiting for his heart to be anxious, finally looked forward to the news he wanted to know.

"Don't worry, master, this is what the old slave saw with his own eyes, and he can't be wrong." Pei Wan replied respectfully: "Just now, although he is not in chains, Tang Xiu's house has indeed been taken into custody by Lord Xiao in the prison in the palace, and the plan set by the master has already taken effect. ”

Tang Xiu's arrest shows that the twenty reckless men must have confessed, thinking about it, Pei Wan felt a little afraid, if it wasn't for the old man's thoughtful and thoughtful giving such a special explanation when he was leaving, now he is afraid that the two of them will be taken into prison.

As the main perpetrator of this case, once he is caught, Pei Wan knows that his misery will definitely be extremely miserable.

From Xiao Tong and Wang Yan and their attitude towards this case, it can be seen how much they attach importance to this case, and how much they hate the mastermind behind this incident, otherwise, according to the past style of the government office, they will at best put up a position and search the city casually for a few days, and it will not be serious enough to use the city guards.

Twenty suspects, all of them were arrested within less than two hours of the crime, which was almost impossible to happen before, but now it happened, how could this not make Pei Wan tremble?

"Good!" Pei Youdao slapped the table, and his spirit immediately cheered up, "It's good to be in prison, and after being in prison, he will have a relationship with this case, our chance has come!" ”

As he spoke, Pei Youdao took out a small paper bag from his arms, stretched out his hand and handed it to Pei Wan, and commanded softly: "Take this and go to the prison now, inform us of the chess piece in the cell, and let him secretly put it or forcibly pour it, anyway, I have to give this package of medicine to Tang Xiu anyway!" ”

Pei Wan's body trembled, and he asked Pei Youdao in a low voice, "Master, what is this medicine ......?" ”

"I don't know the name." Pei Youdao replied lightly: "However, this medicine is colorless and tasteless, and the effect is several times that of arsenic, and ordinary people will die instantly if they get even a little bit of it!" This time, Tang Xiu has to die in prison no matter what, and it must be tonight! ”

Pei Youdao's voice was cold to the bone, and his words seemed resolute and completely in his madness, and there was no room for slowing down, and Pei Wan trembled again when he heard it: "Master, do you really want to take this step?" This is a real murder, if the evidence of the crime is confirmed, it will be a hundred times more serious than the current poisoning and arson, and if you don't get it, you will be killed, master, do you really don't think about it anymore? ”

Although he has done a lot of immoral things in Pei's Mansion over the years, Pei Wan has really never done such a thing as killing people, and now he heard that Pei Youdao was determined to take Tang Xiu's life, Pei Wan was afraid.

"What, you're scared?" Pei Youdao snorted coldly, turned his head and stared at Pei Wan coldly.

"Yes, the old slave is afraid." Pei Wan was stared at by Pei Youdao, and hurriedly bowed down and replied: "However, no matter how scared you are, the old slave will not dare to disobey the master's orders." The Pei family has a great kindness to the old slave, even if the old slave dies, he will never betray the old man in the slightest! ”

Hearing this, Pei Youdao's face softened slightly, nodded with satisfaction, and said slowly: "We are not executioners, this kind of thing is understandable, but if Tang Xiu does not die tonight, I am afraid that tomorrow it will be our turn and the turn of the entire Pei family." ”

Pei Wan was timid in his heart, Pei Youdao knew that if he didn't explain the stakes to him at this time, he was afraid that he would be ruthless and ruin his own big things, so he began to explain to Pei Wan calmly.

"Today's events are in a hurry, it's all to blame on that damn rumor, if it weren't for it, why would the old man let people do such an illegal thing in broad daylight?!"

As soon as he said the beginning, Pei Youdao began to grit his teeth, and he hated the person who spread the unfavorable rumors about his Pei family at the beginning, if it weren't for that rumor, he would have a lot of time to arrange this matter, and he could make this matter as thorough and thorough as possible, and it would not be as full of mistakes and omissions as now, and the entire Pei family would fall into a passive and helpless situation.

"Because of the haste of the matter, it is impossible to achieve perfection in many places, and there are many flaws that cannot withstand detailed scrutiny." Pei Youdao said: "Xiao Tong and Wang Yanhe can sit in such a high position as Fu Yin and Shao Yin, it is impossible not to see the inappropriateness in it." ”

"Although Tang Xiu has been arrested now, once he is interrogated, it will not be long before the truth of the matter will be revealed. Those twenty people are not die-hard people of the Pei family, they may do all kinds of evil for the sake of money and family, but it is also because of money and family, they will definitely confess to us, there is no doubt about it! ”

Pei Wan's complexion changed, he really didn't expect this, if those people really confessed to them, all their efforts would be in vain, then their Pei family would really be finished!

If what the master said is right, then this is simply a dead end faced by their Pei family, how to break it?

Tang Xiu!

There is no need for Pei Youdao to say more, Pei Wan has already thought of the key point of the matter.

As long as Tang Xiu dies in prison, Xiao Tong and them, in order to evade responsibility, will inevitably put all the blame on a dead man, and they will never offend the in-laws of a servant because of a dead man!

As long as Tang Xiu is dead, all this will become logical!

As long as Tang Xiu is dead, their Pei family will be able to escape all responsibility smoothly, and they will be able to completely get rid of all the current predicament!

Therefore, before the twenty reckless men confessed to the Pei family, before Xiao Tong, Wang Yan and them released Tang Xiu, letting Tang Xiu die silently in the cell was the key to their Pei family's breakthrough!

"Master, the old slave understands!" Pei Wanjian replied to Pei Youdao in a strong voice: "That Tang Xiu must die, and it must be tonight!" ”

After tonight, maybe the truth will be revealed, and after tonight, maybe Tang Xiu will be acquitted by the government, so Tang Xiu must die tonight!

"If only you understood." Pei Youdao sighed, "Originally, the old man didn't want to come to this point, my Pei and Tang families are world friends, and the old man doesn't want to just watch the old man die in prison like this." ”

"However, if a Tang Xiu dies, he can recover the hundreds of thousands of losses of my Pei family, and he can save my Pei family's ancestral inheritance for hundreds of years.

is a bit suspicious of a cat crying mouse, but Pei Wan has long been accustomed to the temperament of their master, so he didn't say anything more, and after bowing down to Pei Youdao, Pei Wan left the hall with the bag of poison, and took advantage of the night to gallop all the way to the mansion.
