The character design of the Flower of the High Ridge has collapsed

Chapter 31
In a dark and cold dungeon.

The sound of iron knocking was very abrupt in the silence. Pei Xun held the iron rod in his hand and hit the shelf one after another.

Every time Zeng Zhiyan heard it, his whole body trembled, and he finally couldn't help it, and shouted loudly: "What on earth do you want!"

Then Pei Xun raised his eyelids and glanced at him: "What do you think?"

A word without anger or emotion made Zeng Zhiyan panic.

Pei Xun dropped the iron rod in his hand, stood up, and approached him very slowly, even with a smile on his lips, but it was gloomy and frightening.

Zeng Zhiyan pretended to be calm, and tremblingly said: "You...what do you want? If you dare to touch me, my father will not let you go!"

The corner of Pei Xun's mouth curled into a mocking smile: "Your father? I'm afraid he was burnt in the fire."

Zeng Zhiyan struggled suddenly, and the iron chain on his arm slammed: "You! You careless about human life! I'm going to sue you!"

Seeing his distraught appearance, Pei Xun looked down at him from a high position, and said in a cold tone, "Okay, if you are still alive before Chen Shi, I will let you go."

Hearing this, Zeng Zhiyan couldn't stop trembling. Suddenly, a gloomy voice came: "Where did you touch her?"

Zeng Zhiyan suffocated suddenly, and saw Pei Xun take a long knife from the shelf, and walk in front of him with downcast eyes.

Zeng Zhiyan's lips and teeth were trembling: "You...you..."

The back of the knife lightly touched his left arm: "Left? Or right?"

"what!"

Before he could react, Zeng Zhiyan let out a scream, and his left arm was chopped off completely, and the blood splashed directly onto Pei Xun's face, making him even more weird and bewitching.

The broken arm was still bleeding, Pei Xun said slowly, "Help him stop the bleeding."

The so-called hemostasis was just to tightly strangle the wound with cloth strips, temporarily preventing him from bleeding to death.

While howling in pain, Zeng Zhiyan looked at the terrifying man in front of him like a ghost from hell, and shouted in pain: "Crazy! You are crazy!"

Pei Xun lowered his eyebrows, moved his neck slightly, and suddenly went to the stove, picked up a red-hot iron, and branded it directly on his mouth.

A scalp-numbing pain resounded through the dungeon, and Pei Xun stared at him without any waves in his eyes: "It's touched here too, isn't it?"

Zeng Zhiyan, who had passed out, was awakened by a basin of cold water. His lips had been burnt beyond recognition, and his head drooped weakly. He wanted to die, but he couldn't speak.

Suddenly, like a madman, he bumped the back of his head against the iron frame behind him, and a guard came over to stabilize him.

Pei Xun had no patience at all, he raised the knife without hesitation, and Zeng Zhiyan's right arm fell to the ground.

Reflecting the scene of blood spraying like pillars in his eyes, Pei Xun said slowly: "There is still here."

Then the guard handed him a clean handkerchief, and he gently wiped the blood on his hands.

The moment the blood-stained veil fell: "When the blood dries up, throw him into the mountain."

After speaking, he left slowly, only to see Zeng Zhiyan, who was tied to the iron frame, with his head hanging down, and he had already lost his breath.

Early in the morning, Jiang Youzhi was staring at the window in a daze, and after a while, Pei Xun and a large number of guards came back.

She dressed at once, and wanted to go to him.

But as soon as she entered the room, she smelled a strong smell of blood, and her eyes fell unconsciously on the bloody clothes on the ground.

Then he said to Pei Xun, "My lord, are you injured?"

Pei Xun sat down in front of the case and said, "It's not my blood."

Jiang Youzhi nodded, but didn't think much about it, just walked slowly to his side, lowered his head, kneading the fabric with his fingers.

Pei Xun raised his eyebrows: "What's the matter?"

Jiang Youzhi's voice was soft, and a little annoyed: "I'm sorry, I messed up the matter. If I hadn't been discovered, those ledgers would have been ours long ago..."

Pei Xun raised his eyes and looked at her fixedly: "Su Qi'an had already made preparations, what happened yesterday was within expectation."

Jiang Youzhi nodded, and his voice became softer and weaker: "But...but I got a lot of money from Boss Shen..."

Pei Xun picked up the pen: "It's nothing, don't blame yourself."

Only then did Jiang Youzhi smile, and immediately helped him grind the ink.

At noon, because the emperor ordered Pei Xun and the others to return to the capital, Jiang Youzhi heard the guards discussing while packing up.

"The big fire yesterday left nothing left of the Zeng family. There was no one alive in the whole house. They were all burned to death!"

Jiang Youzhi didn't expect that the Zeng family would end up like this, but they didn't do much to disregard human lives on weekdays, and they deserved it.

Kyoto Sufu.

Yao Zuofeng "slapped" the secret letter on the case, with an angry expression on his face: "What a Pei Xun! Not only does he want to cut off our money, but he also wants to directly copy our home!"

Su Qi'an's face was gloomy: "It seems that he is determined to put us to death. If he didn't succeed this time, we probably would have entered with half a foot now."

After a pause, he continued: "You ask people to pay attention to the situation on Tan Yang's side. The emperor has summoned him back. When he leaves, you immediately send someone to send a letter to Meng Zhaoye, telling him to burn those books directly."

Yao Zuofeng nodded: "Okay, by the way, Zheng Bingzhong's papers have been handed in, but after the emperor knew that he dismissed officials without the court, not only did he not get angry, but he still has the momentum to suppress it."

Su Qi'an quickly said: "Stop this beforehand and tell Zheng Bingzhong not to hand over papers anymore. The disaster relief matter is in the emperor's heart, so he naturally doesn't want to cause more trouble and pursue other things."

After Yao Zuofeng left, Su Qi'an suddenly punched the case. He gritted his teeth with a ferocious face, and the content of the letter appeared in his mind again.

That woman was willing to follow him to Tan Yang, it's extremely hateful!

Suddenly, the door opened, and a guard led a beauty in. The beauty was looking at him tremblingly with tears in her eyes.

Su Qi'an signaled the guards to step back, and the guards went out, closed the door, and shook their heads regretfully.

Sure enough, a quarter of an hour later, a woman's tragic cry came from the room. Even the guard who had killed the enemy on the battlefield felt his scalp tingle.

After walking for about fifteen days, Pei Xun and his party finally returned to the capital.

The errand was done very well this time, the emperor was very happy, and he also praised Pei Xun a lot, and promoted him to be a co-signer of the Privy Council.

After a long journey, Jiang Youzhi had to rest for three days before recovering. The sun was good today, so she thought about going for a walk.

It is feasible to go to the pool, and suddenly a servant girl ran towards her, unexpectedly, she almost knocked her down.

"Miss Jiang, I offended you." After saluting, the maid left in a hurry after saying this.

Jiang Youzhi spread out her hand, and a note suddenly appeared in the palm of her hand. Jiang Youzhi looked unfamiliar to the maid just now, but for some reason, she wanted to stuff a note for herself.

Jiang Youzhi opened it suspiciously, and when he saw the contents inside, he couldn't help but start to churn like a huge wave.
