After picking up the daughter of the lucky star, the whole village prospered

Pei Shixian was taken aback for a moment, his heart beating drums for no reason.

I did this in secret, and outsiders would never think that he did it.

So what did the Wei family want to do when they stopped their carriage?Blackmail?
Pei Shixian snorted coldly in his heart, but still said in a good voice: "Master Zhou's apprentice is lost, how can Pei know about it."

Guanshi Feng rubbed his chin, "But Master Zhou told me that if someone meets Mr. Pei, please go over and talk."

Pei Shixian's expression changed, he pondered for a moment, took out a silver ingot from his sleeve, and stuffed it into Guanshi Feng's hand, "Thank you, Guanshi Feng, for reminding me, Pei will go to Master Zhou to have a look."

Steward Feng was thinking about the silver ingot in his hand, and smiled without moving.

Pei Shixian had no choice but to take out another banknote from his sleeve and stuff it into him, and cupped his fists at him: "Please make room for Guanshi Feng."

Only then did Guanshi Feng let the crowd disperse and let the carriage pass by.

Pei Shi first drove the carriage to a secluded place, and said to Han's mother and daughter: "You find an inn to stay first, and I'll go back and see what's going on."

Han said anxiously: "Husband, what should we do with Yuanbao?"

She took her daughter to go out of the city, but did not bring her youngest son Yuan Bao, so she couldn't help feeling worried at the moment.

"Yuanbao will be fine." Pei Shixian explained a few more words, and handed over the silver bills and broken silver to his wife: "If anything goes wrong, don't go home, take the silver and go directly to the capital to join Xiao Master."

Han nodded, turned to look at her daughter, saw that she was still in a daze, and couldn't help worrying: "What's wrong with the second girl? Why have you been so depressed?"

"Maybe it's because the doll has sweat medicine in his blood. It's fine. It will be fine after a while."

Pei Shi first sent the mother and daughter to an inn, registered a house with his ID card, left the carriage to them, and told them that as long as he didn't come back the next day, they would leave the city as soon as possible.

After that, Pei Shi first walked home slowly.

Before reaching the door of the house, I met the guards of the Xiao family.

"Mr. Pei, sir, please." The leader of the guard said coldly.

Pei Shixian pretended to be calm and asked, "What's the matter, sir?"

"I don't know." The leader of the guards didn't want to say more, and he motioned to help Pei from left to right and got into a carriage first.

The carriage ran wildly all the way, and finally stopped at the back door of Xiao's house.

The two guards carried Pei Shi out of the car first, and sent him directly to Xiao Weizhong's study.

Sitting in the armchair, Xiao Weizhong looked at Pei Shixian coldly, and asked, "Where did Mr. Pei go today?"

Pei Shi tidied up his robes first, bowed respectfully to Xiao Weizhong, and replied: "I'm going out of the city, I don't know what's the matter with your lord?"

Xiao Weizhong: "Mr. Pei doesn't have to hide it from me, I just want to know, what is your intention of snatching away Zhou Wuchang's little apprentice?"

Pei Shixian's face turned pale, and he quickly bowed deeply to Xiao Weizhong: "Your Excellency is very discerning, I... I just want to know why that child is favored by Zhou Wuchang, so I just..."

Xiao Weizhong fiddled with the teacup at hand, stared at him indifferently, motioned for him to continue talking.

Pei Shi first wiped the cold sweat off his forehead, and said: "The old man figured out that although the child was blessed in life, he died young. I saw her strange fate, so I kindly blessed her with a spell so that she could live longer. ..."

"Is that really the case?" Xiao Weizhong picked up the teacup and squinted at Pei Shixian: "Where is that girl?"

"She mistakenly thought that the old man wanted to harm her, so she ran away, and the old man didn't know where she went." Pei Shixian said more and more smoothly, and his expression became more comfortable.

Xiao Weizhong chuckled lightly, and put down the teacup: "In that case, you go with the old man to see Zhou Wuchang, and explain the whole story clearly, so as not to cause any misunderstanding on his side."

As he spoke, he stood up and took Pei Shi out the door first.

On the way, I met my second son, Xiao Chengjuan. Seeing him wearing armor and a sword hanging from his waist, I asked, "Chengjun, why are you back?"

Xiao Chengjun cupped his fists at him, "Father, I heard that there are Taoist priests making trouble in the city, so I brought someone back to have a look."

"It's nothing, it's just some misunderstanding, just wait for the father to explain it clearly." Xiao Weizhong waved his hand at his son: "Go back to the barracks quickly, and don't act impulsively."

Xiao Chengjun frowned: "Father, the child should stay with you, if someone makes trouble, we can't tolerate it."

Seeing that his son persisted, Xiao Weizhong didn't say anything, and walked out the door.

At this moment, Zhou Wuchang was sitting cross-legged at the door of Pei Shixian's house. He closed his eyes and fell asleep without getting up when he saw Xiao Weizhong and others coming.

The eldest apprentice Zhou Hao and the second apprentice Zhang Min stood behind him, watching the visitor silently.

"Master Zhou, Xiao has brought Mr. Pei, if you have anything to ask him." Xiao Weizhong walked up and said.

Zhou Wuchang opened his eyes, looked at the person passing by coldly, and said: "Pin Dao has nothing to ask, if he doesn't send my apprentice back intact today, Ping Dao has no choice but to treat him in the same way as others gone."

I'm afraid these people have forgotten what he used to do, so they dare to attack their apprentices.

Pei Shixian's expression changed, and he immediately clasped his fists and saluted, "I...I don't know anything." In the end, he didn't dare to admit that this matter had something to do with him.

Zhou Wuchang sneered, took out an hourglass from his sleeve and placed it on the ground in front of him. "When the sand is drained, Pindao will do it himself."

Pei Shixian was in a cold sweat, and turned to look at his master. , the voice begged: "Lang Jun, look..."

Xiao Weizhong didn't tell the truth when he saw Pei, but understood something instantly, frowned and said: "Mr. Pei, just tell the truth."

Zhou Wuchang has a special status, even the emperor can't do anything about him, and he is just a supervisory censor, and he doesn't take reason, what can he do?
Pei Shixian's hands and feet started to tremble, but he still kept his mind and said, "I'll tell you the truth...I just came back from outside the city, so I really don't know what Master Zhou said."

He cleaned up the manor last night, and sent away the apprentices who participated in the kidnapping, leaving only two dumb servants. Even if Zhou Wuchang found there, he could not find any evidence.

As for the child, he and Yueniang covered their faces at the time, and then poured sweat medicine on her, so she didn't know what happened.

Then he gave the child another bowl of dumb medicine, which made her speechless for a long time.

Even if the child is found, she is a doll of a certain age, and she is ignorant, what can she explain?
Zhou Wuchang closed his eyes and meditated, ignoring Pei Shixian.

Standing beside Xiao Weizhong, Xiao Chengjuan saw him being so rude, and got angry. He was about to step forward to say something, but was stopped by his father: "Chengjun, it's not for you and me to interfere in this matter, let the government handle it."

After saying that, he turned around and left.

Seeing that Xiao Weizhong had left, Pei Shi hesitated for a moment and walked into the house.

All the children of his family huddled in the house, and concubine Ji didn't dare to show her anger.

Seeing the Patriarch coming back, he immediately gathered around and chatted about it.

Pei Shixian interrupted them and asked, "Where's Yuan Lang?"

The nanny came over and bowed her knees: "Little Lang cried all night, and now he just fell asleep."

Pei Shi first took a step to see his younger son, only to see that he was really asleep, and sighed slightly in his heart.

Turning around, he said to the nanny, "Take good care of Yuan Lang, if there is a mistake, you are the only one to ask."

The nanny bowed her knees and answered.

Only then did Pei Shixian leave his youngest son's room and go to tidy up in his wife's room.

Jewelry, silver bills, and gold and silver utensils and jewelry were all packed, put into the big sleeves, turned around and left the house, and went to the inn.

He wanted to send Han Yueniang and her daughter away to avoid any trouble.

That Chen Tiantian is the person appointed by Grand Master Xiao to take care of her, and she is also the lucky star of the only heir to succeed the king. As long as I get along with her, how can my family not prosper?
At that time, he will be the future emperor's father-in-law, and the youngest son will be the future emperor's brother-in-law.

From then on, I no longer need to be someone else's retainer, let alone act according to the face of the Xiao family.

It's exciting to think about.

So he is fighting now to pave the way for the future.

The ancients said that people die for money and birds die for food, sincerity does not deceive me.
