Chapter 14: The Outer Chamber

Zhong Yi is angry! She's clearly getting down to business! What is this person talking to her?!

She said angrily: "No, which princess have you ever seen who raised only one of them?" I'm going to find more and take them home together! ”

Pei Yang looked at Zhong Yi's annoyed and embarrassed appearance, and his heart was even more joyful, it seemed that the princess really didn't have that kind of thought.

"Okay, the minister understands, if the minister sees anything that the princess likes in the future, he will send it to you."

Zhong Yi looked at the man with a hippie smile in front of him, jumped up and kicked the stool under his seat, and said angrily: "Who wants you to send it!" You have a terrible eye! I don't even like what you sent! ”

Who is the poor vision? Pei Yang snickered and shook his head slightly.

"What does the princess like, tell the minister, and the minister will find it."

"You! I'm talking to you about business! Zhong Yi's little face was red and white angrily, why did he talk to Pei Yang so hard? By the way, he can choke three 句️, and he can't talk about him!

"Okay, good, get down to business......"

Pei Yang listened to the princess's words and understood the trickiness of the matter. The sooner this matter is resolved, the sooner my father and brother will be safe at the border. Otherwise, I didn't know that the war broke out that day, but there was a problem in the rear, that is, it pushed those tens of thousands of soldiers to the Lord of Yama.

"The minister had already informed him of the changes in the army before his brother left Beijing, and he would inform the minister if he had any news. As for the Ministry of War, we can wait for Xuan Wenbin to take office before we start to investigate. The princess of the ledger will be handed over to the minister. The more evidence is in the princess's hands, the more detrimental it is to the princess. ”

Zhong Yi listened to these words, and they were still human words. She asked Zhihan to take out the ledger and hand it to Pei Yang.

"I have told you all the news I know, and you know the stakes for yourself. If there is nothing else, please go back. ”

Although Pei Yang was reluctant, he really couldn't stay too long, he was afraid that the family would be suspicious of the person next door.

So he didn't excuse himself, took the ledger and left.

Looking at the back of Pei Yang leaving, Zhong Yi was not very angry.

The more she thought about it, the more angry she became, whenever she felt that Pei Yang had a little bit of merit, reality could give her a slap in the face.

Reality tells her that this person is still as annoying as she was when she was a child. She thought that when this matter was settled, they would not owe each other.

She doesn't have to deal with Pei Yang anymore!

That night, Pei Yang was inexplicably called to his grandmother's room. He had a vague feeling that something was wrong.

"What did you do today?" Mrs. Pei saw that he didn't go around in circles, so she directly asked the doubts in her heart.

"My grandson came back from the next court, went to buy some things and went home."

Mrs. Pei slapped the armrest of the chair heavily and said angrily: "You are your grandmother, you are old, deaf, and blind." Dare you hide anything from me? Since I was a child, you have followed me the longest, I love you the most, others say that I am partial to you, and I am not afraid. But now that you're older, you're here to fool me, it's really chilling. ”

She counted on Pei Yang to take the initiative to explain, but this kid still denied it, "I, my grandson, really don't know what's wrong." You can point to me, okay. ”

Pei Yang blinked, his face was innocent, and he was a little aggrieved on his face. It was as if his grandmother had really wronged him.

"The house next door, did you buy it?"

Hearing this, Pei Yang realized, sure enough, someone couldn't wait and came to sue so soon. He didn't rush or panic, just continued to pretend to be stupid and said, "Huh? No, the next door has been empty for a long time, how did it sell? Do you want me to prepare some courtesy, go and see? ”

This kid has always been slippery, how could Mrs. Pei not know about the child he raised. In the early years, it was okay, but since he was lifted, this kid has started to think more. Even her grandmother can't see through it.

"Okay, okay, now that you're older, you still learn to act with me and pretend to be confused, it's really for nothing. I think you lost your mother at the age of four, and I was afraid that you would be bullied by the Xue family, so I left you by my side to take care of you. You are separated from me now, go quickly, don't bother me here. ”

Mrs. Pei didn't scare him, she gave an order, and really asked her mother-in-law to drive him out.

While being driven out of the house, Pei Yang turned around and begged for mercy, "No, what you said, your grandson is not alive yet." There really isn't, really not. ”

When he had a moment's time to spare, he came back, knelt down before his grandmother, and raised three fingers to the sky. "I swear it or not, the house next door really didn't buy it, if you don't believe it, I'll send it now. If I lie to you, I'll ......"

He knew that his grandmother was the best person in the family to treat him, so he was naturally reluctant to swear poisonously, "Okay." If something happens to you, I'll go to your grandfather. ”

After pinching his grandmother, Pei Yang was also a little reluctant, and now the young man, who was half a body taller than his grandmother, snuggled up to his grandmother's knees, as if he was a child.

"Don't, this big family depends on you." He raised his head and looked at his grandmother, wanting to confirm the person who was doing this good thing, "Grandmother, these words that I have arranged are all what Pei Zheng told you?" He's always been against me, how can you trust him? ”

Mrs. Pei just looked out of the door and didn't look at him, "I have eyes and ears, so I don't need others to speak." ”

"Okay, well, you are deaf and clear-sighted, and you can stay with me for another sixty years."

The old lady knew that Pei Yang was used to coaxing her, but this biological son and eldest grandson were not in front of her, and it was not much thanks to him to accompany this old woman all these years. She married into the Pei family at the age of sixteen, and the husband and wife have been harmonious for decades, but she gave birth to a bastard son, and she had to marry a woman who didn't want to enter the door, so angry that her wife died early, and the father and son were separated. If it weren't for the old marquis telling her to take care of her children and grandchildren more before leaving, she would have followed her. Neither by this anger, nor by this heart.

"What are you doing with you for sixty years, watching you beat up singles, watching your brother and your sister-in-law make trouble, watching the woman your father brought into the house make the house crazy?"

Pei Yang heard this and determined that it must have been done by Pei Zheng's mother and son. "What have they been doing lately? If you are upset, I'll fix it. Don't be angry. ”

"Do you need to solve it? Men do their own things outside, and your sister-in-law and I will take care of this backyard matter. Mrs. Pei was not at ease, and added, "By the way, you don't want to learn from your father, let alone others, and raise that outer room." ”

Pei Yang almost squirted out when he heard this, and he wanted to come to Pei Zheng's way, but he could only think of this.

He really should teach this younger brother what the rules are.

Pei Yang handled the housework here and handed over the black accounts to his subordinates. And Zhong Yi was not idle over there, she had sorted out Wang Peng's corruption again in the past few days, and suddenly thought of an omission. When she packed up her things from the princess's mansion to this house, she saw the letter of a cabinet, because it was Wang Peng's thing, she was disgusted, so she left it in the princess's mansion.

Now that I think about it, it's careless. Where did he hide so many silver taels? There is no one in the princess's mansion, it must be stored in the cabinet. And this cabinet must be something he trusts very much, and there must be a relationship in it.

And she recalled that in her previous life, she was enthusiastic, checked the accounts in the house, and found two more boxes of silver, adding up to tens of thousands of taels. But after she found it, the ten thousand taels of silver disappeared, and then she died mysteriously.

Zhong Yi thought to herself, she was still too shallow, and she was afraid that she would not be able to sleep well if she killed someone, and she hurriedly went out of the house and messed up. She should thoroughly check the inside and outside of the princess's mansion before leaving.

When she went back this time, she didn't want others to know, so she only went back to the house from the side door with Zhihan.

When she entered the mansion, Zhong Yi smelled a foul smell, and she was shocked and felt that the situation was not good.

She dragged Zhihan along the path, which she believed had found in her bedroom, and then she threw it into the flower pot. She is familiar with this princess's mansion, and it is not difficult to come and go freely.

When they walked to the stone road leading to the inner courtyard, they saw a person lying on the ground from a distance, motionless should be dead, the blood around them had coagulated, and he had been dead for a while. But now that the weather is hot, the body has not decomposed, and it should not have been dead for too long.

The two girls were so frightened that Zhong Yi reached out and covered Zhihan's mouth so that she didn't shout.

And Zhihan was really afraid, so he actually bit Zhong Yi. She felt remorseful in her heart, but Zhong Yi didn't care. I'm afraid that someone will take it first? The person behind this Wang Peng really made a move, it seems that her princess's mansion must have what they want. Whether it was faith or not, she had to find it, and she couldn't fall into the hands of thieves and let them take the lead.

Zhong Yi still wanted to move forward, but Zhihan didn't agree. There has been an accident in this mansion, so you should go out and report to the official to call someone to investigate, how can the princess Jinzhi Yuye do such a dangerous thing.

"I'm afraid that the people in this mansion are all dead, and after so long, the mansion should be safe. Don't be afraid. ”

Zhong Yi comforted Zhihan and led her forward. Zhihan still refused: "Princess, go back quickly, if something happens to you, the slave and maid can't afford it." ”

Several attempts of persuasion were useless, Zhong Yi just wanted to take a look, and she could feel at ease when she saw it. Even if the faith was gone, she knew that this thing was useful. If you run away at this time and call someone from the government to come, the matter will be big and it will be even more difficult to obtain evidence.

As they walked along, they saw one after another the corpses of the miscellaneous servants who had remained in the house. Zhong Yi took a breath and calmed his emotions. It was she who harmed them, and went back to check the books and asked for a lot of money to make up for their families.

Finally arrived at the bedroom, Zhong Yi pushed open the door, these people had been dead for some days, and no one cleaned the house, and it had fallen into dust.

She didn't hesitate to scan the surroundings, wondering which pot she had thrown away. Eventually, she ran forward, digging the soil in the pot, and thankfully, it was still there.

But why did they kill people and not look for things?

Zhong Yi clenched the letter in his hand and turned back in panic.

There were already a few black-clothed masked people standing at the door, and Zhihan was already shaking his legs with fright, and he stood stunned.

She was wrong, these people didn't know where the things were, they were waiting for her to find them.

So far, she can't escape, although she has killed two people, but they are all powerless women, and she has nothing to do about the killer.

When he was scorching, suddenly a dark shadow passed by the window lattice......
