Chapter 97: Assassination
Immediately, several people sat in the carriage, Xu Yuxue ran towards Xin'an City while watching, and when she finished reading, Nie Fengjiao told her about the plan this time, and said what they had learned, some information about the Peng family and the rich family in Xin'an City, as well as the purpose of her role.
"Okay, from now on, you have to change your name to call me aunt, and you must not expose your past relationship in front of people." Nie Fengjiao immediately said solemnly.
Xu Yuxue nodded and said, "Sister Fengjiao, I know it. ”
"Okay, from now on, you have to change your name to call me aunt, and you must not expose your past in front of people." Nie Fengjiao immediately said solemnly.
"Understood, auntie." Xu Yuxue realized her mistake and immediately changed her words.
While the three of them were talking, the carriage came to the gate of a courtyard in the city, it was the morning time, but the courtyard door of the Peng family was closed at this time, Peng Yuanwei asked the soul slave who was dressed as his entourage to come forward and knock on the door, and after a while, there was a sound of opening the door.
After opening the door, an old voice asked, "Who is it?" ”
Peng Yuanwei, who heard the voice, took Nie Fengjiao and Xu Yuxue to the door and said, "Uncle Chengji, it's me, do you still remember me?" ”
"You are? I see that you are a little familiar, old, and have a bad memory, and you dare not recognize it, who are you? The old man Ma Chengji, who was guarding the door of the Peng family, asked.
"Uncle Chengji, I'm Yuanwei, do you still remember me?" Seeing that the old man no longer remembered himself, Peng Yuanwei had no choice but to remind.
"Yuanwei, it's really Yuanwei, why are you back? It's been more than ten years since you've been gone, haven't you? The old man Ma Chengji remembered and asked.
"Yes, it's been fifteen years, Uncle Chengji, your body is quite tough."
"I'm old, this body is bones, day by day is not as good as day by day, don't talk about me, Yuan Wei, you have been gone for fifteen years, and there is no news, and it is rumored that you are gone, who are you bringing with you?"
"This is the niece and niece of the, I heard that the third uncle was not in good health, I took them back to have a look."
"Okay, okay, they're all married, you bring them in quickly, and I'll take you to the back to meet the head of the family." As he spoke, the old man asked his subordinates to inform the head of the house, and asked them to lead the carriage into the courtyard, and led them to the backyard.
I heard that my cousin, who has not heard from him for more than ten years, brought his family here, and Peng Wenfu, who has been in a bad mood, took his housekeeper and son to welcome him.
Seeing that his cousin came out to greet him, Peng Yuanwei hurriedly stepped forward and said excitedly: "Third brother, I'm back." Saying that, he couldn't help shedding tears, all these years, he fell into the grass in the Black Eagle Gang, and he didn't have the face to come back, but he has been inquiring about the news of the Peng family, which shows that he still has feelings for the Peng family.
This time, when he heard that the Peng family was in trouble, and Su Ye was interested in acquiring a shipyard, he raised these things, and he also wanted to take the opportunity to help the Peng family.
"Second brother, it's been more than ten years, and over the years, where have you been, and you won't give us a letter." Peng Wenfu was already in a bad mood, and now, seeing his cousin who has been missing for many years come back, he is also sad and joyful, and he can't help but be full of tears.
As a son, Peng Hui didn't pay attention to it at all at this time, the joys and sorrows of the long-term separation between the two, his eyes were always staring at Nie Fengjiao and Xu Yuxue.
was stared at by him rudely, Nie Fengjiao pretended not to see it, but Xu Yuxue was not angry, she glared at Peng Hui angrily, Peng Hui was not interested, and winked at her with a smile.
Regarding his cousin's questioning, Peng Yuanwei had no choice but to avoid the point and apologized simply: "It's the younger brother who is wrong, I haven't mixed well over the years, so I didn't send a letter to the family, I don't hear that there is a problem at home, and my brother has recently received help from nobles, so he was able to bring his family back to see." ”
Although Peng Yuanwei has been down-and-out in the rivers and lakes for many years, his cultivator's bearing is not to be underestimated, coupled with a rich businessman's dress, which makes him more magnificent, plus Nie Fengjiao and Xu Yuxue, no one can imagine his previous down-and-out appearance.
The old housekeeper Chai Boyan looked at a few people, and then said: "The head of the family, since Yuan Wei and his wife have made a special trip to visit the master, why don't you go to visit the old master first, and then sit in the house?" ”
"Uncle Chai, it's been a long time, how are you now?" Peng Yuanwei greeted him respectfully.
Chai Boyan said with a smile, "The old man is okay, let Yuan Weiji hang up." ”
"Oh yes, the second brother and sister went to see my father first, and we talked in the house." Peng Wenfu said, leading people to his father's room.
At this time, Peng Anlan, a generation of masters in the northern shipbuilding industry, once made the Peng family reach the most brilliant, but now he can only look at Peng Yuanwei weakly, he doesn't even have the strength to raise his hand, he is still conscious, he recognizes Peng Anlan, and after winking at him, he helplessly sheds tears.
Peng Yuanwei held Peng Anlan's hand sadly and introduced Nie Fengjiao and Xu Yuxue to him.
Nie Fengjiao also walked to the other side of the sickbed, held the hand of the old family master and greeted him, secretly checking his physical condition with aura. Xu Yuxue used Su Ye to pass on her soul cultivation technique to probe Peng Anlan's body, and she was shocked to find that in his body, there was a black mist-like yin poisonous qi, which was soaking his internal organs and making him extremely painful, if it weren't for the fact that he was carrying a talisman on his body to protect his brain from damage.
Seeing Nie Fengjiao's inquiring gaze, Xu Yuxue nodded in affirmation hintly.
So, Nie Fengjiao nodded to Peng Yuanwei, and Peng Yuanwei immediately understood that this was the same as their judgment in advance, it seemed that Peng Anlan was killed, not a disease.
Peng Yuanwei whispered to Peng Wenfu: "Third brother, I have something to say, can we talk about it alone?" ”
Peng Wenfu saw Peng Yuanwei's solemn appearance, so he nodded and said, "Okay, Peng Hui, take your aunt to the living room to sit first, and you come with me, second brother." With that, he led him out of the room, came to another room where no one was around, and said, "Second brother, have you noticed something?" ”
Peng Yuanwei nodded and said affirmatively: "Yes, third brother, just now, I checked the uncle's illness, and the uncle's body is not a real disease, he was assassinated." ”
Seeing Peng Wenfu standing there, he whispered silently: "Sure enough, that's true." ”
Peng Yuanwei asked: "Third brother, do you know who the perpetrator is?" ”
Peng Wenfu said angrily: "In addition to the rich father and son, who else can there be." ”
"Rich father and son? Why do they do it? Peng Yuanwei asked clearly.
"It's not my son who is a beast."
Peng Yuanwei asked knowingly: "How is this possible, it is rumored from the outside world that Peng Hui and the rich and wealthy sons have a good relationship, how can they harm him?"
