Chapter One Hundred and Eight
Hu Pei's hands were neither light nor heavy, Yu Jin's body was delicate, and this time he was directly knocked to the ground.
"I wonder what kind of crime my father has committed? Please also ask the official to inform one or two ......"
Hu Pei didn't even glance at Yu Jin, who was lying on the ground, but just straightened his complexion, and leaned over to the official guarding the two of them next to him, wanting to get some news from him.
The official weighed the ingot of silver handed over by Hu Pei, and then smiled kindly. He whispered in Hu Pei's ear:
"Recently, the imperial court appointed the minister to patrol through this place, and Lord Hu, as the magistrate of the county, must be subject to the examination of the minister, no, he was only placed in the county government yesterday...... Originally, he was going to leave this afternoon, but who knew that Master Cai suddenly wrote a complaint and handed it to Lord Qincha, accusing Master Hu of plotting to kill his grandmother's family...... Not to mention the truth of this matter, it was already an old thing ten years ago, and it would not have been convicted so quickly, but Master Cai's human and physical evidence was complete, so the case was closed and Master Hu was convicted! ”
The official took the money and spoke carefully, and the more Hu Pei listened, the more frightened he became, and by the time he finished listening, cold sweat was already dripping on his forehead.
That Master Cai is an old man next to Lord Hu, and he has been assisting Lord Hu in handling cases in the county office. For so many years, he has already become Lord Hu's right-hand man, but now he has bitten Lord Hu half to death.
Hu Pei didn't know much about the old things ten years ago, but he knew that this Master Cai really came to his father ten years ago, but he didn't expect him to be able to lie dormant by his father's side for so long in order to take revenge. Master Cai's shot this time will be fatal, Hu Pei doesn't need to think about it to know that his father is afraid that he will fold here this time!
Hu Pei looked at this group of servants coldly, and saw that they were like locusts crossing the border, and everywhere they went were turned into pieces, and the gold and silver were all gathered in the open space of the courtyard, just waiting to be checked.
Even today, Hu Pei hadn't seen his father for two days, and at first he thought it was because of the complicated affairs of the yamen, so he didn't ask much, where did he know that such a thing would happen. Now in such a predicament, he doesn't know anything about it, and he can't even think of a way to save it.
"Official, I don't know what the crime of that Lord Qincha was sentenced?"
Hu Pei can't take care of his father now, so he can only figure out whether this case involves the family members in the house.
“……”
The official looked at Hu Pei and didn't answer him, but just stretched out his hand in front of him, meaning that it couldn't be more obvious.
The smile on Hu Pei's face froze for a moment, but he had to bow his head under the eaves, so he could only hold back his anger and give him another ingot of silver.
Because this case involved the lives of a family of five, Lord Qincha sentenced Lord Hu to behead him in the market half a month later, and in addition, the Hu Mansion was confiscated, and the family members were exiled to Lingnan...... Hu Gongzi, get ready to hit the road! ”
After the official finished speaking, he didn't care about Hu Pei's extremely ugly face, and only opened his mouth to tease him.
When Hu Pei heard this, his heart was shocked, and he stumbled and took two steps back, looking lost and depressed.
It's over, it's all over......

Cen House
"Young Master Cen, good means."
In the study of Cen Mansion, Cen Xijun was sitting opposite a middle-aged man with a white face and a gentle appearance, and there was a game of chess between the two.
"I conceded."
Cen Ximi's face was calm, but he couldn't see the pleasure of winning.
The man looked at the white man who was killing all sides on the chessboard, and his eyes were full of appreciation. That Bai Zi was at a disadvantage, and his subordinates did not show mercy, seeing that Bai Zi was about to lose, but he didn't expect Cen Xijun to be able to put his life behind him and win such a beautiful victory.
Just thinking of Cen Xijun's ruthless methods against Hu Pei, it was not surprising that he lost this game of chess.
This middle-aged man is none other than Master Cai. Outsiders only knew that the former Hu Zhixian was sued by his master, but they didn't know that it was Cen Xijun, who had been 'crazy' for a long time, who was arranging troops in the back.
It is true that Master Cai and Hu Zhixian have a grudge, and it is also true that Hu Zhixian slaughtered Master Cai's grandfather's family. Even Master Cai has been dormant by Hu Zhixian's side for ten years, just to take revenge one day.
But Master Cai was not ready to use such a method to bring down Hu Zhixian, he originally planned to kill Hu Zhixian with his own hands, but he had been hesitant, and it was at this time that Cen Xijun found him and helped him.
Hu Zhixian is an extremely suspicious person, when Master Cai changed his name and surname, he forged an innocent life experience with great effort, so that he could get the opportunity to work under him. He has been dormant in the county government for ten years, but the time he can really serve by Huzhi County is only two years.
At first, he didn't have a chance to do it, but then he couldn't do it because he had scruples. He has always thought that there can be a way to kill Hu Zhixian unknowingly without implicating himself.
It's not that Master Cai is greedy for life and afraid of death, but that he has met his wife in the past ten years, and he has a well-behaved and smart daughter two years ago.
The method of exchanging one life for one life is too stupid, but the revenge of the ancestors cannot be avenged. Master Cai can still understand the anxiety in his heart at the beginning, but fortunately, he met Gongzi.
At first, when Cen Xijun asked him to write a complaint against Hu Zhixian, he only thought that this person really had a bad brain, but it wasn't until Cen Xijun found for him the human and physical evidence that Hu Zhixian killed his grandfather's family back then, and he knew that he had hope of revenge! Therefore, later, as Cen Xijun expected, when Lord Qincha suddenly visited Shanghai, he was not much surprised, and only followed Cen Xijun's method to sue Hu Zhixian with a piece of paper.
Now that the revenge has been avenged, Master Cai still has a sense of illusion in his dreams. After all, Cen Xi's ability to do things like a god really opened his eyes.

Day 2
The sky was already dark, and Banzhi sat in the room and looked at the heavy snow outside, and his eyebrows were full of sorrow.
She knew about Hufu, and she also knew the verdict that Yu Jin was going to be exiled to Lingnan. Banzhi doesn't pay much attention to the affairs of Hu Fu, and now she doesn't care about what Hu Zhixian has done, whether she can survive or not.
But she still didn't sleep all night, not for anything else, just because Yu Jin was going to be exiled. Banzhi was very entangled in her heart, the first time she heard the news, she was more surprised than a hint of happiness, although this idea was not very kind, but she was really happy.
But when she was happy, she began to worry. Cen Ximian is now inseparable from Yu Jin for a day, if he doesn't see him one day, his temper will be extremely irritable. Yu Jin is leaving, I'm afraid he will never come back, so how sad is Ah Jin......
Yu Jin sighed quietly, panicking in his heart. If she can be more free, she will definitely throw Cen Xijun out, since she is reluctant, then she will follow, and it will make her work hard!
Banzhi was still thinking to herself, but the door of the house was suddenly opened, and the cold wind blew the snowflakes into the house, and she shivered with cold. Banzhi turned his head to look, but found that it was Cen Xijun who opened the door and came in.
"Why are you here? Don't sleep much early in the day? ”
Banzhi looked at Cen Ximi, who was neatly packed, although he knew in his heart that he was going to find Yu Jin, but he couldn't help but complain about him, and his tone was full of vinegar.
Cen Xi looked at the little girl's unconsciously pouting mouth, a little funny.
"Go to the theater."
Cen Xijun walked to the table and pulled Banzhi closer to the inside, then turned around and opened the wardrobe behind him, picked out a small red jacket and a moon-white three-pleated skirt and walked towards Banzhi.
Banzhi stood in place, a little stunned, and it wasn't until Cen Xijun reached out to dress her that she suddenly came back to her senses.
"You...... You ......"
Cen Ximi's face was calm, and there was a gentle smile between his eyebrows and eyes, but he blushed halfway, as if Meng Lang's person was not Cen Ximian but her.
Banzhi looked up at Cen Ximian with a raised face, and didn't say a reason for a long time. Cen Xijun didn't seem to be quite right today, Banzhi thought about this in his heart, and was about to ask clearly, when he saw Cen Xijun stuff the dress in his hand into her arms, urging her to change her clothes.
"Zhizhi, go change your clothes, the show will end when it's late."
"Why did the play start so early?"
"That's not right! How are you? Cen Xijun, how are you? ”
Banzhi didn't react for a while, and he was still wondering what kind of play was starting before it was bright this day. I suddenly reacted halfway through speaking, Cen Xijun's bad thing is crazy!
"Zhizhi, I am pleased with you."
Cen Xi's expression was very ugly after seeing Banzhi's reaction, his heart tightened, and he hurriedly stepped forward to hug the person to show his intentions.
"Cen Xijun, you bastard."
Banzhi looked at the man's familiar expression, and his heart was sour, but he couldn't say anything, he just wanted to scold him.
"Zhizhi, I am pleased with you."
"Bastard! Turtle King Bastard! ”
"Zhizhi, I am pleased with you."
"Cen Xijun, you wolf-hearted thing!"
"Zhizhi, I am pleased with you."
“……”
“……”
————
By the time Banzhi finished crying and scolding, and everything was straightened out, she had already been held in Cen Xi's arms and walked out of Cen Mansion for a long time.
The tip of the nose of half of the branch was red, the apricot eyes were slightly swollen, and the whole person was surrounded by Cen Xi's arms and covered tightly with a cloak. Rao is wind and snow did not freeze an inch of her skin.
"Where are we going?"
Banzhi was still a little angry because of Cen Xi's deception of himself, so he didn't have a good face for him, and his nasal voice after crying was mixed with some annoyance, but it sounded much more fierce than usual.
Cen Xijun held an umbrella in one hand and hugged the half branch tighter with the other, listening to the little girl's words, his eyelids jumped, and his heart was about to be coaxed for a long time. But there was no delay in his mouth, and he explained to Banzhi in a gentle voice.
"Go and give Hu Pei a ride."
Cen Xi's warm breath sprinkled on her neck, making her can't help but shrink her neck. Hearing this, she didn't say anything, Hu Pei hurt her and Ah Xiang so miserably, and it was not a good idea to come to Ah Pei's mouth to 'send', after all, Ah Pei is such a grudgeful person, where will Hu Pei have a good time.
The two of them were speechless all the way, but the backs of each other in the wind and snow were worth a thousand words.
……
When Cen Xijun and Banzhi walked to the gate of Hu's mansion, they happened to see Hu Pei and Yu Jin standing in the courtyard, and behind them were mountains of gold and silver artifacts.
Master Hu has been the magistrate of Shanghai for ten years, and Shanghai is rich, and he is not a clean official, so the family is also very rich. A team of officials who came yesterday have been searching and still have not completely liquidated the belongings in the palace.
Cen Xijun didn't come to fall into the well on purpose, but there was still something that had to be retrieved from him. Cen Xi took the umbrella, reported his name to the guard at the door, and entered the Hu Mansion with half a branch in his arms. knew that there was a trip today, so he greeted Master Cai yesterday, and now it is not difficult.
Hu Pei heard the footsteps behind him, turned around to look, and saw Cen Xi walking towards him with a delicate and beautiful little girl in his arms, and there was a bright smile on his hateful face at the moment.
"Cen Xijun!"
Hu Pei gritted his teeth and shouted such a sentence, his face was as hideous as a beast struggling to die.
"Hu Pei."
Cen Xijun was not affected by his cruel expression, Qingjun still had a faint smile on his face, and called Hu Pei unhurriedly, as if it was a greeting between friends.
"You're pretending! You lied to me! Hahahaha! Cen Xijun, you damn it! ”
Hu Pei didn't understand what Cen Ximian looked like now, everything in the past was just Cen Ximi's disguise! It's ridiculous, he is still complacent because of his embarrassed appearance! Amusing! Amusing!
Hu Pei is proud of his cleverness, and the most unbearable thing is that others are playing tricks under his nose, but Cen Xijun not only did this, but also deceived him. Once the truth is revealed, and when his family is ruined, how can he be calm and self-contained.
Hu Pei was not lightly stimulated, laughed a few times like a madman, and rushed over with red eyes and wanted to kill Cen Ximian, but there were still officials guarding him, Hu Pei was forcibly pressed to the ground without even touching the corner of Cen Xijun's clothes, and vomited a mouthful of blood.
"Hu Pei, give me back my jade pendant."
Cen Xijun was still hugging half of the branch, and when he noticed that the little girl in his arms was faintly trembling, he didn't bother to entangle with Hu Pei, and only stared at him and spoke coldly.
Speaking of jade pendants, Hu Pei had some impressions - he only took Cen Xijun.
That jade pendant is the ancestral jade pendant of the Cen family, and it is a rare piece of warm jade, which is worn with you to warm the body and ward off evil spirits. Hu Pei knew that the Cen family had such a jade pendant, and in order to test Cen Ximi, he asked Yu Jin to ask Cen Ximian for it. After all, this is the ancestral heirloom of the Cen family, if Cen Xijun is not crazy or does not love Yu Jin so much, where would he be willing to give away such an important thing.
Hu Pei deliberately tried it, but Cen Xihuan really gave it, but he has always had no good impression of the things Cen Xijun has been contaminated, and it is one thing to come, but he will not wear it with him, and now he is afraid that it will be in a box.
"Jade pendant? What jade pendant? …… Oh, you're talking about that piece of warm jade? What a coincidence...... That piece of jade has already been smashed by me. ”
Hu Pei won't let Cen Xijuan have a good time, even if the jade is still there, he won't tell him. Anyway, Cen Xijun couldn't find it for a while, and it was good to respond to him for a while.
