Chapter 655 Zhou Shen
Thinking of this, Xicheng Dusi said in a deep voice: "Come here, I will serve you with pen and ink!"

Immediately, a servant brought the Four Treasures of the Study.

Xicheng Dusi said: "Pei Wenlang! Pei Linxuan!"

The two didn't know, so: "The villain is here!"

Xicheng Dusi said: "You each write a few words and show them to Ben Dusi!"

The two held pens, not knowing what to write for a while.

Xicheng Dusi rolled his eyes and said, "Just write: 'Liangzhou, the ancestral home of the Pei family'!"

The two of them didn't know why, so they wrote down these words.

After finishing writing, he took it away immediately and submitted it to the case of the capital of Xicheng!

After the Xicheng Dusi finished reading, he looked down at Pei Song and his son, who looked dissatisfied, threw the letter down, and said indifferently: "Look for yourselves!"

Four letters were scattered on the ground, Pei Song picked up one, and Pei Zefeng picked up another.

Pei Wenlang picked up one, and Pei Linxuan picked up one.

Pei Song and his son: "..."

There is really a letter?But the content of this letter is not true at all, these bastards!
Brother Pei Wenlang: "..."

There is really a letter?The content of this letter is very unfamiliar to them.

However, the handwriting is so familiar.

Ah, isn't this their own handwriting?
However, others do not know, they know better than anyone else.

What Pei Song and his son said is true, they just fled privately with Juan, so where can they write a letter to the master?This letter is full of sincerity, worries and thoughts, how could they write it?

There is also the content of the letter, it turned out that Pei Ji allocated 3 taels of silver to the old family members every year, and these were all corrupted by Pei Song and his family. They didn't know about this!
It's a good thing they kept their heads down when reading the letter, otherwise, not only would they not be able to hide their eyes, they couldn't even hide their expressions.

Pei Wenlang quickly suppressed the shock in his heart that it was a fox for many years.Don't worry about why the handwriting is the same as his, and don't worry about why the time mentioned above is exactly the same as the time they gave Pei Song those things.

He couldn't help but sneak a glance at Zhou Chen, this old man is so capable?
He hurriedly said: "Of course, this is the letter that the villain wrote to Patriarch Pei back then. The letter back then was written by the villain and his second brother Lin Xuan. The third brother Jin Chu, the fourth brother Jin Hai, and the fifth brother Daming did not participate." , so they may not know the existence of the letter, so they will be surprised!"

Pei Song hurriedly said: "My lord, the content of this letter is not true, it is fake, fake!"

Xicheng Dusi said coldly: "Just tell me if the items on this list are in your place?"

He has compared them just now, the handwriting is the same, and he has also carefully read the paper and ink marks. It is more than ten years ago. Is this not enough to prove that it is true?

Pei Song: "..."

He wanted to say he wasn't there, but it was true.

After such a short period of stagnation, the capital of Xicheng already understood, and he said: "Pei Song, I sentence you to return all 21 imperial gift items within one day. If you dare to take the imperial gift items privately, you should have a heavy sentence. , but I have the virtue of being good at life, because you still remember the ancestral temple and offer it to the ancestral hall, but you haven't returned it after the deadline. You can choose by yourself if you pay [-] big boards or exile for [-] miles."

Is there still a choice?

Do they dare to choose exile?

Pei Zefeng still wanted to argue, but Pei Song stopped him, and he glanced at Zhou Chen with guard and fear in his eyes.

He understood that this week Shen was considered to be the head of Pei's family, and he had the status of a scholar, which was already three points persuasive in the capital of Xicheng.What's more, the things he took seemed real and fake, and the fake and the fake were real, and now they said it was useless.

More importantly, more than ten years ago, the 3 taels of silver allocated to the tribe by the master's family each year were indeed corrupted by themselves. With this, they have no trust at all.

Anything they say, Xicheng Dusi will doubt.

Let's talk about those things, whether they are imperial gifts or not.Now that Zhou Chen has come forward, it means that Pei Ji wants to get it back, and he can't hold back even if the main family recovers the lost property back then.

Had I known this earlier, I might as well have paid it back sooner.

There are so many good things, how unwilling to think about it.

But there is no way.

Pei Song said: "My lord, the villain chooses thirty big boards, please be merciful, my lord!"

Xicheng Dusi said: "Come on, execute!"

Pei Song was quite lucky at this time, there were only three fathers and sons here, and the eldest son Pei Zeyi was still at the inn with his grandchildren and great grandchildren.

Zefeng is smart, Zeyong is bold, but being the boss is useless.

Now, each of them has received [-] boards, and their buttocks are cracked.

A team of commanders of the capital of Xicheng escorted Pei Song back and ordered him to return the imperial gifts.

Here, Zhou Chen cupped his hands and saluted, and said: "My lord is very aware of the details, thank you!"

The capital of Xicheng just waved his hand, and he didn't know anything about it. These evidences were provided by the mighty Marquis Mansion itself.

The thing is indeed in Pei Song's place, so let him return it.

Although it is true that Mu Mingyuan, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, no longer troubles the mighty Marquis Mansion, who knows if Liang Zi has been resolved?

He didn't want to have anything to do with the mighty Marquis Mansion at all!
Since Zhou Chen returned to the mansion, he still had to report the result of the matter to the young lady.

The Pei Wenlang brothers followed Pei Song and his son to the inn to get things.

Mu Qingyu was not surprised by this result at all, she smiled brightly: "Grandpa Zhou, I know you will do well on such a small matter!"

About Zhou Chen, she had heard from Pei Ji earlier that more than 40 years ago, Zhou Chen, who was a teenager, passed the examination as a scholar, and he was considered a proud young man.His family has five acres of land left by their ancestors, which is the main source of income for the family to survive and for Zhou Chen to study.

There was a wealthy family who took a fancy to his family's property and wanted to occupy it, but the Zhou family naturally refused.

This rich grandson is the local county magistrate. To punish an ordinary civilian, there are many ways to find a murderer on death row and ask him to retract his confession that everything was ordered by Zhou's father. At that time, he can give his family ten taels of silver.

It was just a word of mouth, and the condemned prisoner immediately followed suit.

Zhou's father suffered an unreasonable disaster and was immediately imprisoned and beaten into a trick.

Zhou Chen worked hard for his father, but in that small place, the county magistrate already existed like a huge boulder on his head. How could a small talent be able to shake the sky when the county magistrate himself did the bureau?
Zhou's father was betrayed and beheaded, and the Zhou family's wealth was borrowed. Zhou Chen, a scholar, was also deprived of his fame and was beaten dozens of times.

People who don't know the truth think that Zhou's father is really a vicious villain. He is covered with bruises, and he has to suffer those abuses, vicious curses, and rotten vegetables and eggs thrown by others.

When he returned home, he realized that his sister had been snatched by the county magistrate's younger brother to become a concubine, but his mother stopped her and was pushed to the ground and died.

He went to rescue his sister, only to find out that her sister was strong and had been killed by a head-on collision, and her body was directly thrown in the mass grave.

Zhou Chen hated him very much. He has nothing now, and he can no longer take the imperial examination. His parents and sister are all dead. If he doesn't take revenge, he will die in peace.

The county couldn't sue, so he went to the mansion. However, the county magistrate had already arranged everything. When he went to the mansion, the man who had benefited from it refused to even accept his complaint, so he just typed it out.

Is this the so-called mutual protection between officials and officials?
Since he couldn't take the right path to avenge his father, he would do it himself.

A young scholar had no choice but to put down his pen and pick up a knife.

But when the county magistrate's family went out, which one was not surrounded by servants, how could he approach it?

One day, he managed to find out that the county magistrate was going to a neighboring county to do business, so he lay in ambush early on the way he must pass.

He was obviously a gentle and elegant young scholar in green shirt with a bookish look, but at this moment, his hair was disheveled, his beard was stubble, and his face was haggard, like a beggar.

Holding a sharp knife in his hand, with hatred in his eyes, there is no trace of a scholar in his body, only hatred to the bone.

Even if he has read thousands of books, he still can't understand why some people in this world can easily destroy everything of others for their own self-interest without any scruples!
However, those officials who are supposed to be the masters of the people can ignore the law for the benefit of the people.

When he arrived, the county magistrate rode in a carriage with only two servants beside him.

On the way, he has put stones.

The carriage cannot pass.

While the coachman and his servants were moving the stones, he sneaked behind the carriage and prepared to kill the culprit silently.

However, he was stopped by someone.

Zhou Chen, who was full of hatred, was angry and hated this Cheng Yaojin who had come out halfway, but a word from the other party made him give up his thoughts of attacking.

The other party was about the same age as him, and asked him: "Is it what your parents want to die with the enemy?"

Of course not, he just has nothing to do!

The man said: "In this world of Qingming, the universe is bright and clear. I don't believe it. There is no place for redress. Come with me!"

Zhou Chen followed him, and walked to the county guard's office. He also knew at that time that this was Pei Ji, the young patriarch of the mighty Marquis Mansion. Why was it the young patriarch and not the Marquis? He didn't make any contribution, and he didn't succeed in attacking the lord.

Zhou Chen has read books and knows that the title of title is inherited, if it is not hereditary, the next generation will lose one rank.Since it is the Marquis's Mansion, the next generation will be the Bo's Mansion, so why can't it be the Duke's Mansion?
Pei Ji told him that his ancestors had an agreement with Emperor Gaozu, and he didn't want to see his descendants decline as one generation after another, so after arriving as a Marquis, if the descendants have no merit, the title will be cut off.

The young patriarch ran around for him, looking for evidence, even if he didn't have the title, he still had the background of the mighty Marquis.Afterwards, Dad cleared his grievances, and the magistrate who harmed others, the magistrate younger brother who forcibly robbed his sister, and the magistrate's grandfather who was so vicious for expropriating his family's land were all punished as they should.

Zhou Chen's deprived reputation has also returned.

Pei Ji asked him to continue the imperial examination, but Zhou Chen felt that it was no longer necessary.He originally wanted to avenge with death, but now that he has avenged, he is not dead yet, this life belongs to Pei Ji.

He signed the contract of selling himself, and from then on, he stayed in Weiwuhou's mansion as a servant.

When the mighty Marquis Mansion was prosperous, the status of a scholar was nothing special. After all, the huge Marquis Mansion had no shortage of talents.

More than ten years ago, Pei Ji tore up Zhou Chen's own contract of selling himself, and arranged for him a way out. Not only Zhou Chen, but also many servants in the mansion, he made arrangements.

But Zhou Chen stayed on.

Two hours later, Pei Wenlang and his brothers walked out of the inn where Pei Song and his son were staying.

They all smiled and were very happy.

And holding something like a box in their hands, obviously, they returned with a full load.

Back then, all the items that were sent out were small pieces of jewels and jade. Pei Song's family came to the capital to take refuge, so naturally none of these portable items were left behind.

Why did it take so long? Of course, Pei Song and his son were injured, and the pain was severe. On the way back, they almost took three steps and rested every five steps.When they arrived at the place, they had to ask the doctor to prescribe the medicine first, and then Pei Song had to return the things after being reminded by the head of the Xicheng capital.

Pei Wenlang said happily: "The things are finally taken back, and we can finally go back to Liangzhou!"

Pei Linxuan was a little worried: "Do you think Miss will let us go back?"

These words were disappointing, but they directly hit the part they were most worried about.

Even if they are talking outside now, they don't dare to call the stinky girl to die.Instead, it is respectfully called Miss.

Pei Jinhai said: "Didn't Daming go back? Butler Zhou said that as long as we are still in good company, Miss will not care about it anymore."

"Can we pay back the money?" Pei Jinchu was very pessimistic. "At the beginning, we not only took the objects, but also took so much gold and silver and silver tickets, and we have already spent almost all of them. If we were really in our hometown life is very good, so why go to the capital to covet the wealth of this mighty Marquis Mansion?"

"Although all the items can be returned, what about the money?"

The joy and joy of the few people no longer existed, and the reality made them frown.

I used to live recklessly and arrogantly, but now I regret it.

What they regret is not that they should not have taken those things in the first place, but that they should not be greedy again.

Wouldn't it be nice to be a rich man at home?

Why do you have to look forward to Shu and fold yourself here.

Pei Wenlang said: "Don't think about it so much, let's talk about it after we go back!"

Pei Linxuan would also feel sorry, the good things they held in their hands are all very valuable, so it's better to return them quickly.If you lose them again, you will not be able to compensate them if you sell them.

When they returned to the Marquis of Mighty Mansion, they immediately went to ask to see Mu Qingyu.

In the Danyi Garden, Mu Qingyu was in the garden of the outer courtyard. They looked at the girl in the light blue dress under the flower tree.

It's so beautiful, it's as if it's unreal.

When I was in Liangzhou, I met such beauty.They are rich and powerful, and they probably want to destroy, ravage, and destroy.

After all, if such a weak and young girl has nothing to rely on behind her, it is simply prepared for them, the old men.

At this moment, they did not dare to feel any blasphemy.

People are fairies, more beautiful than fairies, but this fairy is not easy to mess with.

That dagger flying like white flowers, that crisp and sharp method, facing the bloody light, was fierce and decisive without even frowning.

Several people walked over and saluted respectfully: "Miss!"

Mu Qingyu said, "Yes!"

Pei Wenlang and the others said: "We got back the original 21 jade objects from the Hou Mansion from Pei Song!"

Mu Qingyu said: "Grandpa Zhou!"
