Noble First Daughter-in-law

The night is as quiet as water.

The sound of a little water was like a small stone thrown into the calm lake, breaking the silence. Pei Xingyuan washed it a bit, and just sat down, Shang Ruyi poured a cup of hot tea and brought it to his hand.

"Master Pei, let's have some tea first."

This is the upper room of an inn in Fenglefang, Xicheng. The room is spacious. Although there is only one lamp on the table, it is bright enough to clearly illuminate the smoky marks on Pei Xingyuan's face.

Aggrieved, he picked up the teacup and took a sip, looked down at his hands, and said, "I won't be a useless person, will I?"

Shang Ruyi hurriedly said, "No."

Pei Xingyuan put down his teacup, and stretched out his hand in front of her: "But look—"

Although he had already glanced at it just now, Shang Ruyi couldn't help gasping when he took a closer look—Pei Xingyuan is not completely good at martial arts, but he is not from a family of generals after all, so his hands are white and clean, and his fingers are slender , with distinct joints, even the nails are neatly trimmed, and the hands are stretched out. Although they are not as soft as women, they have a sense of masculine strength.

But because of the few times of tossing in the fire just now, several blisters were scorched on his hands at this moment, and because of the two phases of Jin Daji's tight grip, the skin of several blisters was broken, and the flesh was opened. The bright red tender meat inside was exposed, and blood stains slid down between the fingers, staining most of the palm red.

Palms and wrists also had such wounds.

Shang Ruyi hurriedly said: "Don't worry, Mr. Pei, the medicine will be here soon."

As soon as the words were finished, the door was pushed open, Shen Wuzheng came in with the burn medicine and some bandages from the store downstairs, Tusheer walked behind him, and brought a basin of clean water.

Shen Wuzheng came over and sat down, and said: "Wash the wound first, and then apply medicine to bandage it."

Pei Xingyuan stretched out his hand aggrieved, and Shen Wuzheng carefully took a towel and soaked it in water, and carefully wiped off the dust and residue on the wound for him. After the wound was cleaned, he applied ointment, and then took out the bandage Bandage him up bit by bit.

During this period, Pei Xingyuan kept yelling: "Take it easy, it hurts to death."

Shen Wuzheng glanced at him, and said angrily: "What are you complaining to me, did I let you go?"

"...!"

Hearing what he said, Pei Xingyuan's eyes suddenly flickered.

They set up this strategy from the beginning, let Pei Xingyuan sell high-priced medicines in Changlefang, just to lure the greedy heart of the other party, and Jin Daji did seem to agree with this strategy, and then, Pei Xingyuan has been with him these days Finally, on the eighth day, the watered down decoction was deliberately given to make the people in Changlefang make a fuss, and it was also for the other party to see.

In this way, Jin Daji completely believed that he urgently needed to buy the other party's medicinal materials.

I just didn't expect that Jin Daji's "belief" turned out to be the bait to lure them into the bait, and he deliberately raised the price by sitting on the ground, asking a high price of 1000 taels, so that Pei Xingyuan believed that the other party was really greedy, rather than acting on account .

Then, in that warehouse, kill Pei Xingyuan.

Before that, Shen Wuzheng had been reminding them that the other party had extraordinary means, and that they might really have the ability to predict the future. If they want to win against that person, they must think a step deeper than the other party.

However, from the present point of view, the other party is still taking every step to gain the upper hand!
Pei Xingyuan almost paid the price with his life.

But he wasn't soft on his lips either, he just thought about it and said confidently: "But you should damn persuade me at that time!"

"..."

Shen Wuzheng glanced at him, was so angry that he had nothing to say, he just lowered his head, and pulled the bandage heavily, Pei Xingyuan immediately screamed in pain, and was about to retract his hand, but Shen Wuzheng grabbed his wrist, Tie the bandage and let him go.

Pei Xingyuan looked at him with red eyes: "You, you are so cruel."

Shen Wuzheng ignored him at all, just got up and went to the basin on the other side to wash his hands, but Shang Ruyi smiled and said: "Young Master Pei must be careful these few days, don't hold heavy objects, and don't get your hands wet. Let the people below do what you can."

Pei Xingyuan sighed, and raised a pair of tightly wrapped hands: "Look what else I can do."

Shen Wuzheng washed his hands, walked back slowly and sat down, and said: "Don't go home tonight, stay here for one night."

"certainly,"

As Pei Xingyuan said, he looked up at the two of them again: "Are you all coming out at this time, are you okay?"

Shen Wuzheng said: "My house—it's fine."

Looking at him, both of them smiled, and everyone knew that although there were two elders in the Shen family, the two elders listened to this son, so Shen Wuzheng had to go out in the middle of the night, and no one could take care of him. .

Pei Xingyuan looked at Shang Ruyi again, only to see her smiling gently: "Fengchen and I came out from the side door, and my family doesn't know."

As he spoke, he added another sentence: "It's okay to know."

After all, now that Jin Daji is dead and those men in black have been arrested, their murder of Pei Xingyuan has been exposed, and the news should be back soon. Even if the two of them go out late at night, it is a normal reaction to this incident.

Shen Wuzheng glanced at the corners of her reddened eyes, sighed lightly, and said, "You shouldn't have come out."

Shang Ruyi just smiled.

Pei Xingyuan on the side snorted softly and said, "So what if Ruyi cares about me?"

Having said that, when he turned his head to look at Shang Ruyi, he also smiled and said, "However, you have been working in Changlefang these days, and you haven't had a good rest. You really shouldn't come out and stay with us tonight. La."

But Shang Ruyi said: "Young Master Pei is in danger like this, even if I'm at home, I can't rest in peace."

Then, he looked down at Pei Xingyuan's hand again.

Shen Sheng said: "Fortunately, there is no danger."

Surprise and no danger—these four words are the greatest luck for all those who have encountered disasters, but only those who have been in it know that these four words also have a price. Although the ointment is applied to the wound and soaked in cold, It relieved a lot of pain, but it was the first time that Pei Xingyuan felt so close to death in that warehouse just now.

If it weren't for his quick wit.

If he hadn't fought desperately.

If not, then Jin Daji is really greedy...

I'm afraid that what they found now is already a scorched corpse.

Pei Xingyuan also looked at his hand, and said with lingering fear: "I hope this time, I can make it back. As a person, I hate losing money the most."

Hearing this, Shang Ruyi and Shen Wuzheng looked at each other and couldn't help but smile.

At this time, a sound of footsteps came from downstairs. Although it was not too heavy, it was still very clear in such a quiet environment. When everyone heard it, they immediately turned their heads away.

The door was pushed open, and Yu Wenye walked in from the outside with a dark aura.

Shang Ruyi hurriedly got up: "Feng Chen, you are back."

He was dressed in black and walked into the room. Before the lights in the room had time to completely dispel the haze between his brows, even the shadow behind him seemed to be dragging a long night haze. Once he walked in, he overwhelmed everyone. The breath is all sinking.

But seeing Shang Ruyi, his eyes softened immediately.

Said: "Yes."

After finishing speaking, he walked back with Shang Ruyi and sat down. Shen Wuzheng looked at him and didn't speak, but Pei Xingyuan couldn't hold back for a long time, and immediately asked: "How is it over there?"

Yu Wenye didn't answer him, but looked at his hands: "Your hands—"

"it's okay no problem,"

Just now he was complaining a lot, but now he waved his hand, as if he didn't care at all, and only asked: "Those people, have you recruited?"

Yu Wenye glanced at him, and said, "Those people were hired by Jin Daji."

"what?"

Pei Xingyuan was taken aback, while Shen Wuzheng frowned slightly, and said: "So, they don't know who is behind Jin Daji?"

Yu Wenye nodded.

Pei Xingyuan frowned. It was only at this time that he remembered that when he used the 1000 taels of silver bills to lure Jin Daji to reveal the identity of the person behind the scene in the middle of the fire, the men in black had no intention of stopping him. Obviously, they Only obey Jin Daji.

If it was that person's subordinate, I'm afraid Jin Daji wouldn't be allowed to take such risks.

Therefore, it is impossible to trace this line from those men in black.

Pei Xingyuan thought for a while, and immediately said: "Then, where is the warehouse?"

Yu Wenye said: "It has been found out that that place is indeed a warehouse where barbarians pile up spices, but a while ago he went back to the Western Regions to buy goods, so the warehouse was left there and handed over to a guy to look after it. Jin Daji found it I told that guy that he wanted to rent it for two days, but that guy was greedy for money and thought that no one would know if the owner was not around, so he leased the warehouse to Jin Daji."

"..."

"I didn't expect that tonight's incident would happen."

Pei Xingyuan shook his head repeatedly.

Shang Ruyi didn't say a word, only sighed after a long time, and said, "It's greed again."

Speaking of which, they lured Jin Daji into the bait because they took a fancy to his greed. Even if they knew now that he was setting up a trick to lure Pei Xingyuan, but in the end, he was still greedy. The temptation of the two silver bills almost killed him in the flames.

And the work of the spice shop was also due to greed, and the warehouse was rented out, which led to this disaster.

It seems that when people's hearts are greedy, disasters happen.

She thought so in her heart, Pei Xingyuan didn't have so much emotion, she just frowned and pondered for a long time before saying: "Jin Daji is dead, and those few people don't know the truth, and they can't find it in the warehouse for the time being." What clues."

"..."

"That is to say, our tonight—"

Having said that, he raised his head to look at the other three people in the room, only to find that everyone's expressions were as gloomy as his, especially Yu Wenye, with a gleam of cold light flashing in his deep and stern eyes.

In other words, tonight, their plan to lure out the mastermind behind the scenes fell short!
but--
