God-level Consort of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 77 Fire in the Backyard
At that time, Wei Zheng was holding a copy of "Mencius" in his hand, and was reading the wonderful part. Although he was not overwhelmed, he also showed a happy expression on his face.

At this time, a figure suddenly walked in the door.

This is a middle-aged woman who is fat but full of temperament.

Seeing Wei Zhenggao reading a book under the oil lamp, the woman got angry and cursed: "You are an old man who spends all day reading or discussing political affairs. Do you still have this family in your eyes? You don't either." Look, in this huge family, the cost of management is not supported by the old lady alone..."

As soon as Wei Zheng raised his head, his expression changed with fright. He hurriedly hid the book in his hand behind him, stood up and said cautiously, "Mistress calm down, I'll go to bed right now. Please go to sleep first, my husband will come right away."

Wei Zheng was notoriously henpecked, and even eight-year-old children in Chang'an City knew that although Wei Zheng was a high-ranking official, his status in the family was lower than his wife Pei's.

For this matter, even Li Er personally talked to Wei Zheng, asking Wei Zheng to stand up, show dignity, and not be a person who is afraid of his wife.

Unfortunately, no use.

The number one person in Tang Dynasty who was slandering the sky outside and smacking the air, when he arrived at home, when he saw Mrs. Pei, he immediately fell in love with him.

Mrs. Pei actually stepped forward, grabbed Wei Zheng's ear, and said angrily: "You want to lie to my old lady again, don't you? You used these words to dismiss me a few days ago. After I fell asleep, you will be here again." After studying in this study all night, do you think you are a student who is going to take the scientific examination, do you still want to study at night and become a high-ranking official?"

"It's really humiliating...it's humiliating..."

Wei Zheng complained, but still obediently walked out with Mrs. Pei.

This scene, which took place in the era of strict feudal hierarchy and serious inferiority between men and women, seemed unbelievable to many people.

At this time, a person broke into the door suddenly.

It is the housekeeper of Wei Mansion.

The butler just happened to see this scene, and immediately opened his mouth wide in surprise.

Although everyone in the house knew that Mrs. Pei was fierce, it was the first time he had seen him grabbing the master's ear.

Seeing this, Mrs. Pei hurriedly let go of Wei Zheng, and said coldly to the housekeeper, "Housekeeper, you don't know the rules too much. The study is an important place in the mansion, and the maids who clean the house on weekdays are not allowed to enter at will. How can you panic? How is it proper to break in?"

Although Pei's fierce, but also know how to maintain Wei Zheng's dignity.

This matter was bumped into by the housekeeper, and Wei Zheng must be ashamed.

The housekeeper didn't bother to admit his mistake, and said in a panic, "Master, madam, something is wrong. A thief broke into the house, and the thief seems to have entered the young lady's yard..."

Wei Zheng and Pei's expressions changed drastically.

Before they had time to ask in detail, Wei Zheng and Mrs. Pei hurriedly followed the housekeeper to the backyard.

Along the way, the whole mansion was in chaos.

At this time, everyone in the house was mobilized, even the old lady of the Wei family, who usually went to bed early and got up early, was startled, and tremblingly came to the yard with the help of the maid.

As soon as Wei Zheng arrived at the scene, before he could figure out where the thief was, he noticed a few black shadows running towards him quickly in front of him.

Wei Zheng shouted: "Who is in front, still not standing still?"

Unfortunately, instead of stopping, those figures increased their speed.

The steward turned pale with shock, "Master, they seem to be thieves!"

Wei Zheng shouted: "Stop them!"

The butler was so frightened that he quickly hid aside.

Wei Zheng, on the other hand, was extremely brave. He stood up and stood in the middle of the corridor, "Stop!"

Only then did he vaguely see that there were four thieves in total.

The other three all walked around him, and one of them rushed right at him.

Wei Zheng opened his hand, trying to grab the opponent.

boom.

Unexpectedly, the thief had a stick in his hand, and hit Wei Zheng directly on the forehead.

Immediately, Wei Zheng felt stares in his eyes, and almost fell to the ground. If Mrs. Pei hadn't helped him up in a hurry, he would have fallen to the ground long ago.

When Wei Zheng woke up, he saw that the thief had already run away.

Wei Zheng said curiously, "Strange, why do I feel that the person who hit me just now looks a little familiar!"

It's just that the servants of the mansion rushed over, interrupting his thoughts.

……

The three of Du He, led by Cheng Chumo, ran wildly through the Wei residence, with the Wei residence's pursuers behind them.

Running is a little difficult for Du He, after all, he has a lot of physical fitness, but it is very easy for Yuchi Baolin and others.

Cheng Chumo looked curiously at the stick in Du He's hand, and said, "Brother, you have the guts, you dare to beat even Old Man Wei."

Du He said helplessly: "Who told that old man to see that I am small and wanted to stop me."

"Hahaha……"

At this time, suddenly two servants of the Wei Mansion held torches in front of them and blocked their way.

"The thieves stop quickly, and they will be caught!"

Qin Huaiyu and Yuchi Baolin rushed forward at the same time, knocking them down to the ground.

The two guards were no match for these two guys, they could only lie on the ground and watch them leave.

Du He just ran out a few steps, but turned back, picked up the torch on the ground, and suddenly threw it towards a room not far away.

The torch bounced a few times, and actually got in through the open window.

Not long after, thick smoke and flames appeared in the room.

The servants, who were chasing after him, were about to catch up with the thief, and they suddenly became chaotic.

"Go to the water!"

"Go to the water!"

"It's on fire!"

"The thief set fire!"

Wei Zheng arrived just in time, and saw the flames in the next room getting bigger and bigger.

He hastily ordered: "Leave half of the people to fight the fire, and the rest go to chase the thieves, and the steward goes to report to Marquis Wu, so that Marquis Wu can come and arrest people quickly."

Under Wei Zheng's command, the fire was extinguished in a short time.

A total of three houses were burned down, but no one was injured.

At this time, the servant who was chasing the thief also came back, panting and said: "Master, the thief ran away from the back door."

Wei Zheng calmed down, and said, "Hurry up and count the belongings in the house to see if there is anything missing."

As soon as the words finished, I saw the housekeeper running over and said out of breath, "Master, it's not good, Miss is missing!"

Wei Zheng said angrily, "What's going on?"

Someone beside him whispered, "Just now, I seem to have seen a thief carrying it on his shoulders, it seems to be Miss."

Wei Zheng's eyes darkened, and he almost fainted, but when he turned around, he saw his wife Pei limply lying on the ground.

Wei Zheng hurriedly stepped forward to support her, and shouted: "Hurry up and let the doctor in the family come to treat your wife!"

Suddenly, the Wei Mansion was in chaos.

……

At the same time, Du He and the others avoided the Marquis Wu who was patrolling the city all the way, and had already left the Wei Mansion far away.

When they reached a secluded place, they stopped to catch their breath.

Only then did Qin Huaiyu point to Cheng Chumo, and asked curiously: "Chumo, Chumo, it's fine if you say you're molesting Miss Wei, why did you take away the things from his house before you left? This has something to do with thieves What's the difference?"

When they left Wei Mansion, everyone noticed that Cheng Chumo was carrying something on his shoulder, but they didn't see what it was.
