Seeing Wang Chong's surprised expression, Yuan Hong said: "Paying the silver taels, Shi Haochi has no fundamental loss. That little money was not worth mentioning to him at all. Let his subordinates beat the black cauldron of the dead on their backs, which shows that his methods are very clever. As for the punishment of taking the initiative to report and waiting for two seats, it is completely for show. Because the two seats will not punish him severely at all, after all, there are people in his seats. ”

It was only at this time that Wang Chong learned that the power of the Shi family was even greater than he imagined.

......

More than a month later, after many times of cultivation, Yuan Hong's cultivation has been promoted to the peak stage of the Hanging Dream. He wasn't surprised by his rapid improvement.

After all, during his trip to the underworld, his mind was always running at a high speed, and under the effect of the Linglong Pendant, the dream energy stored in his Navel Chakra continued to increase, gradually approaching saturation.

During this period, he learned from Liu Chengfeng to descend the dragon and chase the sun, and at the same time, the elementary thunder spirit technique "lightning and thunder" that he taught himself was also promoted to the intermediate move "Thunder Wanjun".

In contrast, the multi-thunder move of "Thunderball" is much more powerful than the "lightning and thunder" of a single thunder and solitary sound, and the Dragon Chasing Yang Palm has opened the gap in the realm of the Fuhu Meteor Palm, after all, Shi Haochi's chasing bombardment of him almost killed him.

With the assistance of the weft gourd, Liang Yun'er's cultivation has also been able to improve rapidly, and after continuously breaking through the small realm, she finally entered the long-awaited suspense dream. If she goes head-to-head again, she has full confidence to bring down Miss Shijia.

The twelfth day of the winter moon is Yuan Hong's birthday, and he finally ushered in his seventeenth birthday.

Xie Xu, Shen Gongbao, Wang Chong, Liang Sixian and others sent him birthday gifts. The people who gave the gifts were all those who had a deep personal relationship with him.

Since he didn't make a big deal of it, none of the unwitting heavyweights came, which was exactly what he wanted. The only thing that surprised him was that Pei Zhao, the prosecutor of Yong'an City, did not come, after all, he had sent an invitation to Pei Zhao.

As a thoughtful and generous person, why would Pei Zhao be absent for no reason? Even if he sent a family member over, he would not be unkind.

Yuan Hong couldn't figure it out anyway.

"Senior brother, my father has something to tell you, and he is waiting for you in the study. ”

Interrupted by Liang Yun'er, Yuan Hong followed her into the study. Seeing the gentle Liang Sixian sitting on the chair, Yuan Hong smiled and sat down nearby.

"Hong'er, tell you something. A while ago, I asked a well-known local priest to choose an auspicious day for my little daughter Sissi to get married, and he said that the sixth day of June next year is the best. There is still more than half a year to go, so you can prepare well. ”

Liang Sixian, who was about forty years old at the time, was full of anticipation in his eyes. It can be seen that he loves his daughter very much, attaches great importance to his daughter's lifelong events, and is also very optimistic about Yuan Hong.

"Don't worry, Shibo, I will prepare everything in advance. Also, thank you for entrusting me with your daughter, I will never treat her badly, let alone bully her. ”

With a firm belief in his eyes, Yuan Hong said solemnly.

Hearing Yuan Hong say this, Liang Yun'er sat down next to Liang Sixian, and said with a tender little mouth: "Dad, don't believe him, he has been bullying me all along." ”

Yuan Hong's face suddenly became hot after hearing this, as if he had been criticized by name in class. After thinking about it carefully, he still didn't understand where the so-called bullying began.

Liang Sixian was even more surprised than Yuan Hong, and said with a smile after a while: "I want to know how my baby daughter was bullied." ”

With a peach blossom red face, Liang Yun'er slurred: "He...... He likes to tickle me, but I don't like it, at least not before I get married. ”

Hearing this, Yuan Hong finally understood what she meant, it turned out that she didn't like to be teased by the tentacles of her mind. What embarrassed him very much was that this kind of thing could be brought out to sue him, but fortunately she didn't say it very bluntly.

Liang Sixian laughed and said: "What's wrong with tickling, it shows that the virtuous nephew loves you very much." I often tickle your mother, or she asks for it. After the age of fifteen, you are now a big girl, and you have to learn to understand and tolerate many things in life. ”

Seeing that Liang Yun'er was still pouting, Yuan Hong interjected: "If you don't like it, then don't scratch it, I'll help you scratch it after you pass the door-by the way, Uncle Shi, is she okay?"

Liang Sixian smiled and said, she is fine, everything is fine.

At this moment, the family of the City Lord's Mansion came to report that an urgent letter came from Yong'an City.

Yuan Hong immediately took the letter from his hand, opened it and was stunned, and the letter slipped from his hand to the ground.

Liang Yun'er, who looked surprised, quickly picked up the letter, and after looking at it, she was also taken aback, and she immediately stuffed the letter into Liang Sixian's hand.

Before the letter was finished, Liang Sixian's face was already full of grief. With his hand on his forehead, he couldn't speak for a long time.

"Pei Sizai's body has always been tough, how could he suddenly die?"

Faced with the news of his benefactor's death, Yuan Hong's emotions suddenly lost control, he picked up a chair and threw it on the ground, shouting "impossible" three times in a row.

Liang Yun'er was taken aback, walked slowly to him, and comforted: "I feel very distressed to see you like this." Why don't we go to Yong'an City and see if the letter is forged. ”

After hearing this, Liang Sixian echoed Liang Yuner's point of view, and Yuan Hong suddenly realized that she made sense.

Bringing enough silver tickets and silver taels, sorting out the baggage, Yuan and Liang said goodbye to the people who came to the banquet, and then rode on the lion and tiger beast together, and quickly rushed to Yong'an City.

It only took three days for the two to arrive in the holy city of Yong'an, and they didn't care about enjoying the lively scene on the streets, so they went straight to Pei's mansion.

At this time, Pei's Mansion was bleak, and the family and maids all looked gloomy, and they didn't have any intention to say even half a sentence to each other. Seeing Yuan Hong, they seemed to see a savior, and they fell to their knees one after another, begging him to find out the truth.

Seeing this, Liang Yun'er pulled them up one by one and told them that her senior brother would definitely give them a satisfactory answer.

At this moment, Lao Mei, the housekeeper of Pei's Mansion, walked towards the two with tears in her eyes, and his eye bubbles were already swollen from crying. Yuan Hong asked him to take himself to check Pei Zhao's body immediately, but he didn't want to, the old housekeeper told him that Pei Zhao's body had been buried not long ago, after all, according to local customs, the body could only be buried for three days.

Yuan Hong shook his head in disappointment, and immediately ordered Lao Mei to call Chen Cheng, Liu Chan and the others.

Lao Mei said yes in a loud voice, and walked out of Pei's mansion with a brisk walk.

Soon, Chen Cheng, the case prosecutor, and several case prosecutors followed Lao Mei to Yuan Hong.

Yuan Hong hurriedly asked them about Pei Zhao's situation before his death and his characteristics after his death.

Chen Chengdao: "At the beginning of the hour five days ago, Lao Mei, the housekeeper of Pei's house, went to call Pei Sizai for dinner, and even shouted a few times and did not get a response, so Lao Mei kicked the door many times and broke into the house, only to find that Pei Sizai had died in his bedroom. Liu Chan and I rushed to his body as soon as I learned the news, carefully examined his body, and preliminarily determined that he died violently. ”
