Pei Shixian was stunned for a moment, and beat the drum in his heart for no reason.

What he did was secret, and outsiders would never think that he did it.

So what did the Wei family want to do when they stopped their carriage? Extortion?

Pei Shi first sneered coldly in his heart, but he still said in a good voice: "Master Zhou's apprentice is lost, how can Pei know about it." ”

Steward Feng touched his chin, "But Master Zhou explained, let me meet Mr. Pei, please go over and talk." ”

Pei Shixian's face changed, he pondered for a moment, took out a silver ingot from his sleeve and stuffed it into Steward Feng's hand, "Thank you Steward Feng for reminding me, Pei will go to Master Zhou to take a look." ”

Steward Feng was worried about the silver ingot in his hand, and smiled and didn't move.

Pei Shixian had no choice but to take out a silver bill from his sleeve and stuff it into him, and hugged his fist at him: "Please also ask Steward Feng to give way." ”

Steward Feng then let everyone disperse and let the carriage pass.

Pei Shi first drove the carriage to a secluded place and said to Han's mother and daughter: "You guys find an inn to stay in first, and I'll go back and see what's going on." ”

Han said anxiously: "Husband, what should we do with ingots?" ”

She took her daughter to the outside of the city, and she didn't bring her youngest son Yuanbao, so she couldn't help but worry at this time.

"The ingots will be fine." Pei Shi first explained a few more words, and handed over the silver money and broken silver he brought with him to his wife: "If something is wrong, don't go home, take this silver and go directly to the capital to join Taishi Xiao." ”

Han nodded, turned his head to look at his daughter, and saw that she was still in a daze, and couldn't help but worry: "What's wrong with the second girl?" Why have you been unmotivated? ”

"Maybe that doll has sweat medicine in her blood, it's fine, it'll be fine after a while."

Pei Shi first sent the mother and daughter to an inn, registered a house with their identity plates, left the carriage for them, and told them that as long as they didn't come back the next day, they would hurry out of the city.

After that, Pei Shi walked slowly home.

Before he arrived at the door, he met the Xiao family guards.

"Mr. Pei, Lang Jun is invited." The leader of the guards said coldly.

Pei Shixian pretended to be calm and asked, "What's the matter with Lang Jun?" ”

"I don't know." The leader of the guards didn't want to say more, so he motioned to support Pei Shi left and right and got into a carriage first.

The carriage galloped all the way and finally stopped at the back door of Xiao's house.

The two guards got out of the car first with Pei Shi and sent him directly into Xiao Weizhong's study.

Xiao Weizhong sat in the circle chair, looked at Pei Shixian coldly, and asked, "Where did Mr. Pei go today?" ”

Pei Shi first tidied up his robe, respectfully saluted Xiao Weizhong, and replied: "I went out of the city under the city, I don't know what happened to Lang Jun?" ”

Xiao Weizhong: "Mr. Pei doesn't have to hide it in front of me, I just want to know, what do you want to do by taking away Zhou Wuchang's little apprentice?" ”

Pei Shixian's face turned pale, and he hurriedly took a deep look at Xiao Weizhong: "Lang Jun is discerning, in... I was curious about why the child was favored by Zhou Wuchang, so I just... ”

Xiao Weizhong fiddled with the tea cup in his hand, stared at him lightly, and motioned for him to continue.

Pei Shi first wiped the cold sweat on his forehead and said: "Lao Yu Bu calculated that although the child was blessed in life, it was a sign of early death, I saw that her life was strange, so I kindly cast a spell on her to bless her, so that she could live longer......"

"Is that really the case?" Xiao Weizhong picked up the teacup and squinted at Pei Shixian: "Where is the female doll?" ”

"She mistakenly thought that the old man wanted to harm her, so she ran away, and the old man didn't know where she went." The more Pei Shixian spoke, the smoother he became, and his demeanor became more comfortable.

Xiao Weizhong chuckled lightly and put down the teacup: "In that case, you go with the old man to see Zhou Wuchang and explain the whole thing clearly, so as not to misunderstand him there." ”

Saying that, he stood up and went out with Pei Shi first.

On the way, I met my second son Xiao Chengjun, saw him wearing armor and a sword at his waist, and asked, "Chengjun, why are you back?" ”

Xiao Chengjun clenched his fists at him, "Dad, I heard that there are Taoist priests in the city who are making trouble, so I specially brought someone back to take a look." ”

"It's nothing, it's just some misunderstanding, just wait for the father to explain it clearly." Xiao Weizhong waved his hand at his son: "You hurry back to the barracks, don't act impulsively." ”

Xiao Chengjun frowned: "Dad, the child is still with you, if someone makes trouble, we can't tolerate it." ”

Seeing that his son insisted, Xiao Weizhong didn't say anything anymore and walked out the door.

At this moment, Zhou Wuchang was sitting cross-legged at the door of Pei Shixian's house, and when he saw Xiao Weizhong and the others coming, he didn't get up, closed his eyes and pretended to sleep.

The eldest apprentice Zhou Hao and the second apprentice Zhang Min stood behind him, silently watching the comers.

"Master Zhou, Xiao brought Mr. Pei here, you have something to ask him." Xiao Weizhong walked closer to the front road.

Zhou Wuchang opened his eyes, looked at the person coldly, and said: "Poor Dao has nothing to ask, if he doesn't send my apprentice back intact today, Poor Dao will have no choice but to treat him in the way of others." ”

I'm afraid that these people have forgotten what he used to do, so they dare to attack their own apprentices.

Pei Shixian's face changed, and he immediately clasped his fists and saluted: "In... Next... Nothing is known. In the end, he didn't dare to admit that it had anything to do with him.

Zhou Wuchang sneered, took out an hourglass from his sleeve and put it on the ground in front of him. "When the sand is gone, the poor road will do it himself."

Pei Shixian was in a cold sweat and turned his head to look at his master. , the voice pleaded: "Lang Jun, look..."

Xiao Weizhong saw that Pei Shi didn't tell the truth first, and instantly understood something, frowned and said, "Mr. Pei, just tell the truth." ”

Zhou Wuchang's identity is special, even the emperor can't do anything about him, he is just a supervising imperial history, and he doesn't take care of it, what can he do?

Pei Shixian's hands and feet began to tremble, but he still stabilized his mind and said, "I'll tell the truth below... Zai Xia just came back from outside the city, and I really don't know what Master Zhou said. ”

He cleaned up the manor last night, and the apprentices who participated in the kidnapping were also sent away by him, leaving only two dumb servants, even if Zhou Wuchang found it, he couldn't find any evidence.

As for the child, he and Yueniang were both masked at that time, and then they poured sweat medicine on her, and she didn't know what happened.

Then he gave the child a bowl of dumb medicine, which left her speechless for a long time.

Even if the child is retrieved, how old is she, a doll, who is ignorant, what can she understand?

Zhou Wuchang closed his eyes and meditated, ignoring Pei Shixian.

Xiao Chengjun, who was standing next to Xiao Weizhong, saw that he was so rude, he was angry, and was about to step forward to say something, but was stopped by his father: "Chengjun, you and I can't interfere in this matter, let's leave it to the government to solve." ”

Then he turned and walked away.

Pei Shi saw that Xiao Weizhong was gone, hesitated, and walked into the house.

All the children of his family shrank in the house, and the concubine was even more arrogant.

When he saw the head of the house coming back, he immediately gathered around and asked about it.

Pei Shi interrupted them first and asked, "What about Yuanlang?" ”

The nurse came over and curtsy and saluted: "Xiao Langjun cried all night, and he just fell asleep at this time." ”

Pei Shi stepped first to look at his youngest son, only to see that he was really asleep, and sighed slightly in his heart.

Turned to the nurse and said, "Take good care of Yuanlang, if something goes wrong, you are the only one who asks." ”

The nurse bowed her knees.

Pei Shixian went out of his youngest son's room and went to his wife's house to tidy up things.

The jewelry, silver money, gold and silver utensils and jewelry were all packed, put in their big sleeves, turned around and went out of the house, and went to the inn.

He wants to send Han Yueniang's mother and daughter away, and save some trouble.

That Chen Tiantian is the person named by Taishi Xiao to take care of her, and she is also the only star of fortune who is the heir of the king today, as long as she picks up her line, why worry that the family can't prosper?

At that time, he will be the father-in-law of the future emperor, and the youngest son will be the brother-in-law of the future emperor.

From now on, he no longer has to be someone else's retainer, let alone act according to the face of the Xiao family.

It's exciting to think about.

So he is fighting now, also to pave the way for the future.

The ancients said that people die for money, and birds die for food, and they don't deceive me.
