Pei Zekai had done this kind of thing more than once. Because Mr. Futai had long been brothers to Pei Song, even if he got into trouble, someone would take care of him.

But this is the first time I have killed someone.

However, Pei Zekai quickly calmed down again.

He took the woman with him and went home.

Of course, he still sent someone to tell his father about it.

As soon as Pei Song heard about the death, he hurriedly prepared a generous gift and went to visit Mr. Futai at his home.

The matter was classified as accidental injury, and the main culprit was not Pei Zekai, but Pei Zekai's personal followers, who took the blame and was sentenced to eight years in prison.

They thought that the matter would just go away, but they never dreamed that that frail man turned out to be King Qi's youngest son.

This King Qi was a vassal king during the reign of the First Emperor, and his vassal territory was in Liangzhou. Who would have thought that his youngest son would actually come to Wang'an Mansion to compete with local dandies for a brothel girl?

King Qi's people soon arrived at Wang'an County. Mr. Futai's claws were numb now. He did not expect that he would just wipe away a few lives. Who knew that this would be a hard problem that could not be wiped away.

Even if he got a benefit, he didn't dare to say anything now and immediately arrested Pei Zekai.

After Pei Zekai was arrested, the local people did not know that King Qi had intervened. They thought that Futai had suddenly become Lord Qingtian, and a letter of complaint was immediately delivered to Lord Futai's desk.

They were all reported to the Pei family and their sons for running rampant in the countryside.

King Qi put down his words and ordered Futai to kill all members of the Pei family. No one was allowed to stay. One was to save his son's life; the other was to seek justice for those who sued the Pei family and his son.

If it were just to sacrifice his life for his son, this would be an excessive request. However, coupled with the complaints from many people, it was not too much.

It was Pei Zekai who beat people first, and the Pei family tried to erase the crime and bribed the government. Pei Song's family relied on the rich money in the local area and also bullied good people. Although the lives in their hands were ultimately lost because of insufficient evidence.

It can be done legally, but if we really want to settle the accounts in the future, even if we are not satisfied with it, we will all be executed, our property will be confiscated, and we will be exiled for three thousand miles, which is still relatively light!

After all, Futai had benefited from Pei Song's considerable money, so he sent someone to inform him quietly. Pei's family was frightened, and that night they quickly took their sons, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren and ran to the capital with their families.

King Qi is a vassal king, and his fiefdom is near Qingpu County. To avenge his son, he forced the government to act in Wang'an Mansion. It is not considered a foul, after all, it is reasonable. However, King Qi's forces do not dare to go to the capital.

If the vassal king dares to enter the capital without an imperial edict, he is seeking his own death.

The next day, when the government office pretended to be a police officer and went to fetch the person, only the woman was left in the Pei family.

Pei Zekai and the others failed to rescue him. According to the confidants of the government who secretly sent the message, he was beaten to death in prison by King Qi's men!

Pei Song didn't even dare to say anything about asking for an explanation for his beloved son. Their sense of superiority and condescension was targeted. In front of King Qi, he didn't dare. On the contrary, he rushed to the capital even more quickly.

Therefore, the usual journey would take at least two months. They hurried and took their time, not even daring to stay in an inn at night. They arrived in the capital in more than 20 days.

They were afraid that King Qi's men would catch up with them before they reached the capital city and kill them all!

So now, they must live in the capital.

Since Pei Ji is not the head of the family, he cannot be the head.

Of course, find someone who can take charge.

Any one of the Pei Wenlang brothers would be great!

He has feelings for them, and he even has evidence that the Pei Wenlang brothers committed crimes when they were in their hometown!

When Pei Ji said this, he didn't take it seriously!

Pei Zeyi said even more rudely: "Even if I have a relationship with you, is it useful? You are not the head of the family, so you can't be the master of that matter!"

Pei Ji smiled and said: "Brother Clan is right! I am indeed not the head of the family and I have no right to speak!" He took out his thumb and was about to hand it out, but then changed the topic and said: "Although I have no right to speak in front of the head of the family, I have no right to speak.

, I can barely speak!"

Pei Song was a little impatient. What was the use of talking in front of the head of the house? What he wanted was to talk to the head of the house directly. He stretched out his hand to take it.

Pei Ji said meaningfully: "If you leave my hand and return to the clan uncle, this finger ring will no longer have anything to do with me, Pei Ji. I won't say a word in front of the clan master, clan uncle, have you thought about it?"

Pei Song's impatience finally showed on his face, and he said: "Aji, at such an old age, why are you still ignorant? Uncle Clan, what I want is the family head's promise, not your promise, you

What's the use of your promise? Who would have thought that you couldn't even keep your position as the head of the family? It's not that your clan uncle said that to you, think about it, have you brought all the face of the Pei family's ancestors to shame? How will you do it under Jiuquan in the future?

Do you have the honor to meet them?"

Pei Ji: "..."

Why is it difficult for him to meet? He has done nothing wrong. It would be ridiculous if all the faults were imposed on the evil person because of his evil, right?

He said slowly: "Although I am not the head of the family, my uncle doesn't need to speak so harshly." As he said that, he took out the ring and handed it over.

Pei Song immediately took it like a treasure, put it in his arms, and said in his mouth: "It's not that the uncle of the clan deliberately pokes holes in your heart with his words. Our ancestors insisted on establishing direct descendants and removing them from concubines. In fact, not all direct descendants did.

It’s good, but not all the common people are useless! Alas!”

Such yin and yang aura meant something, and Pei Ji naturally understood it, but just smiled and ignored it.

Pei Zeyi said: "Aji, where are Wenlang and the others? Why haven't we seen them yet? What's wrong with the old servants? They are all so old. Are their legs and feet weak? It still takes so long to run errands. Aji, I'm not talking about you, even if you are

You are no longer the head of the family, but you have lived in this powerful Marquis Mansion for so many years. You don’t have the right to dispose of it, but you still have the right to make suggestions, right? Why don’t you replace this useless trash?"

In fact, Zhou Chen had only been out for a while, but Pei Zeyi had a strong sense of superiority when he was in Liangzhou. Even though he was obviously a bereaved dog and came to the capital to seek protection from his own people, he looked condescending.

Pei Ji said: "He is not useless, he is very easy to use, and the head of the family also values ​​him very much!"

Hearing that the head of the family valued him, Pei Zeyi said nothing.

At this time, the eldest child suddenly said: "Great-grandfather, Xu'er is hungry. Xu'er wants to eat snacks!"

Dim sum has been served before, four or five plates of dim sum, and I have already eaten them all. I am not hungry anymore, but the dim sum tastes so good that the children are greedy and want to eat more, so they ask for it again.

Pei Zefeng said hurriedly: "Aji, the servants haven't come back yet, and we are all hungry! You go and get some snacks, let's eat some to fill our stomachs!"

He had a matter-of-fact and bossy tone.

In the past, they, the general branch, looked up to the main branch and were envious and jealous. However, after what happened more than ten years ago, they all heard in their hometown how miserable Pei Ji was in the capital.

It feels like the halo that was attached to the main branch has long since disappeared.

What kind of main branch, bah! Living like a beggar in the capital, guarding such a big mansion, the life is worse than that of a refugee. How can it be like them, who have gold, silver, fine clothes and food?

Pei Ji glanced at him and said, "Okay, then you sit here for a while and I'll get it!"

Pei Ji walked out of the door, and before he had gone far, he heard the voices of the Pei family's father and son.

Pei Song: "I'll see Wenlang soon, please be careful what you say."

Pei Zeyong said disapprovingly: "I don't know if Pei Wenlang has become the head of the family?"

Pei Zefeng said: "Third brother, whether it is true or not, I don't blame him for being polite! Think about it, even if he is not Brother Wenlang, he is still one of his brothers. Brother Wenlang can speak well, right?"

Pei Song laughed and said: "Your second brother is right. This is the capital, and we must live here. The people of King Naqi dare not act recklessly in the capital. Only here do we have a chance of survival! We can't go wrong by establishing a good relationship with Wenlang.

!”

Pei Zefeng's voice: "Dad has a wrench in his hand. He really should come here earlier. Maybe we will be the ones who take over the Weiwu Hou Mansion by then. If we come early, the fourth brother will not have time to commit any crime, and he will not lose his life!"

Pei Song heard the resentment in this tone. He rolled his eyes and shouted: "Are you stupid? Who are the Mu family? The first-rank officials in the court have a high position. I heard that the young master of the Mu family made friends with him.

My playmates are all the sons of high-ranking officials in the court. You came early, are you here to deliver food?"

Pei Zefeng murmured in a low voice: "That's not what you said. Now the Mu family won't bully the Pei family anymore? Otherwise, the Pei family wouldn't be in such a situation, right?"

Pei Zeyi said: "How dare you talk back! We are just staying in Weiwuhou Mansion for a while to get a foothold first, and then we will go to the capital to buy a house in the future. What Pei Ji offended was the Minister of Libu. How big an official is the Shangshu of Libu?

?Yipin, do you know how big Yipin is? It is the official title only held by our ancestor, the first Weiwu Marquis! Who knows when the Mu family will dislike the Pei family again? We are just borrowing the Weiwu Marquis Mansion

As a springboard, we must not let them get involved and be hated by the Mu family! We have discussed this principle on the way, why don't you understand it, you stupid head?"

Being scolded by his eldest brother, Pei Zefeng and Pei Zeyong didn't even dare to express their anger.

Outside, a cold look flashed across Pei Ji's eyes!

As early as more than ten years ago, when the Pei family was in trouble and he was in dire straits, he knew how cold the people in his hometown were, so when he heard these words, he was not too disappointed, it was just expected.

However, I didn’t expect that their family came to the capital because Pei Song’s fourth son committed an offense and offended King Qi!

They are really capable. No matter how rich they are, they still dare to offend a prince. Even if it is a vassal prince, that is something they cannot touch!

At this time, Pei Wenlang and others came over under the leadership of Zhou Chen.

Mu Qingyu has already told people like Pei Wenlang that they can exchange for their freedom with the things they took from the Pei Mansion.

They took a lot of things from the Pei Mansion, including antiques, calligraphy and paintings, but this time they came to enjoy themselves and to seize the Pei Mansion, which was once again angry. How could they bring those things with them?

Even the ones they hold in their hands are just small items such as jade pendants that are easy to carry and can be used to decorate their appearance.

Pei Daming is still smart. He loves to show off and carries the most gadgets with him. He took out all those things and a stack of banknotes. The total discounted value of all the things was about 20,000 to 30,000 taels.

Because he was the first to realize what he was doing, Mu Qingyu had a kind heart and completely removed the remaining poison from his body. She allowed him to go back and redeemed his two sons with something!

It turns out that you can really buy freedom with things, so that you no longer have to suffer from the poison, so some of them have already written to their homes and asked people to send things.

Mu Qingyu showed kindness again and asked Zhou Chen to tell them that it was a long way from Liangzhou to the capital, and their people brought so many good things to the capital. The road was long and uneven, in case they met a robber along the way.

, that means losing everything? They can go to the Shunyi Escort Agency in Zhupu County, Liangzhou.

You only need to put the corresponding things into the escort office and have the escort office stamp the receipt. Once the capital receives feedback, they can release you immediately.

Some people are reluctant to part with the good things they have already obtained, and refuse to believe them, and are still waiting and watching.

After all, someone is hired to deliver letters to the family. Even if the family sends things to the escort agency, it will take time. Everyone is still there except Pei Daming.
To be continued...
