The short-lived ghost of the Xie family has lived a long life

Chapter 127
"Master Pei!"

Yan Sanhe said every word very softly.

"Guanyin Temple is your territory. You go and count the list of registered monks, and then take the opportunity to tell them the story of the black dog who died on hunger strike and the old lady who refused to rest in peace.

If they are really hiding in Guanyin Temple, and if Wu Guanyue still has some old feelings for the old lady, I think... they will come to us. "

Pei Xiao was secretly shocked and thoughtful.

"Will they believe what I, a Chinese official, say?"

"Take out the enthusiasm you used when talking about the old lady to Magistrate Zhou, add [-]% sadness, [-]% pain, [-]% filial piety, and the rest..."

Pei smiled: "What?"

Yan Sanhe: "It depends on whether your grandmother will protect us or not!"

For a moment, Pei Xiao almost blurted out: Goddess, how did you get such a brain?

But his reason told him that he couldn't say this.

"Thank you fifty, what do you think of this idea?"

"..."

"Thank you fifty?"

"..."

"Thank you fifty, are you deaf?"

"what?"

Mr. Xie looked stunned.

Pei Xiao waved his fist, "Why are you so stunned at such a critical time, brother!"

"I'm thinking……"

Mr. Xie took a deep breath calmly, "Is there any better way than this light and dark thing?"

Pei Xiao was stunned, "Is there any?"

"No."

Xie Zhifei said sincerely: "This should be the best way."

Pei Xiao: "Then it's decided. I'll go back home immediately. The reason is that although I am filial, I am very afraid of death."

Xie Zhifei: "This reason is logical."

Yan Sanhe asked again: "It's not safe in the temple. Where can I stay when I go back?"

Xie Zhifei: "The prefect's Yamen has a special courtyard for guests to stay. It is the safest place. No one dares to go to the Yamen to kill people."

"I'll arrange this."

Pei Xiao looked at the three fat men in the distance: "It's time for me to show off my authority again."

After that, he flicked his sleeves and walked over in a swaggering manner.

He left, and the carriage became quiet.

Xie Zhifei lowered his eyes and touched his thigh with his hand, as if he was thinking about something.

Yan Sanhe asked: "Is there something wrong?"

Xie Zhifei raised his eyes, "Actually, I have a worry."

"You said."

"As you said before, Wu Guanyue is a hero-like figure. Will he take the bait because of his former affair with his children?"

"It doesn't matter if you don't take the bait."

A flash of unknown meaning flashed in Yan Sanhe's eyes, "At least it can be a warning."

Xie Zhifei's chest trembled, "So, the bright line is actually a fake shot, and the hidden line is the real sword?"

Yan Sanhe: "Third Master is smart."

The third master looked straight at her, suddenly reached out his hand, and touched Yan Sanhe's hair rather rudely.

Visible to the naked eye, Yan Sanhe instantly blushed to the root of his neck, and anger suddenly surged up.

Dare to tease me?

"Do not misunderstand!"

Mr. Xie let go as soon as he touched his hand.

"As the old saying goes, smart heads don't have hair. I'm just wondering, why do you have so much hair?"

Before Yan Sanhe could recover, he had already run towards Pei Xiao, "I'm going to help you, sir."

A dandy is a dandy!
Can you find such a fresh and refined reason for teasing?
Yan Sanhe was so angry that he almost exploded.

……

Nanning government office.

Zhou Ye hurried out after hearing the news.

The third fat man rushed over, lay down in Zhou Ye's ear and explained the matter briefly. Zhou Ye looked shocked.

"Master Pei, are you injured?" Pei Xiao was so frightened that his face was as pale as paper.

"Thanks to the eight guards assigned to me by Mr. Zhou, otherwise this trip would have been impossible to return."

Zhou Ye sighed: "I have been here all year round and have heard and seen too much. By the way, have you seen clearly what those men in black look like and what their skills are?"

"This……"

Pei Xiao turned to look at Xie Zhifei.

Xie Zhifei stepped forward hurriedly, his voice sonorous and powerful.

"Lord Zhou, these men in black are generally not tall, and their movements are very flexible. They advance and retreat in a very orderly manner. They use a knife. The knife is not long or wide, and it is very comfortable to hold in the hand."

Zhou Ye frowned: "So, you are well-trained?"

Xie Zhifei: "Not only are they well-trained, they even know the art of war and formation."

When Zhou Ye heard this, he was so shocked that he didn't know what to say.

He pondered for a moment, turned and smiled at Pei: "Master Pei, for the sake of safety, you can stay in the mansion. I will send more guards to guard outside."

Pei Xiao smiled bitterly: "Master Zhou is so considerate, that's exactly what I meant."

Zhou Ye: "I will write a letter to the Chief Envoy and ask him to help and investigate it carefully."

Pei Xiao: "Thank you Master Zhou, but I have an unkind invitation."

Zhou Ye: "Please tell me."

Pei Xiao: "I want to see the files of Wu Guanyue and his son and their portraits."

Zhou Ye suddenly changed his color and said in shock: "How could Mr. Pei know about Wu Guanyue and his son?"

Pei Xiao lied without drafting, "These two are committing a shocking crime in the capital. How could I not know about it?"

"This……"

Zhou Ye hesitated and said: "Master Pei suspects that the attack is related to Wu Guanyue and his son?"

"I am new here and I have no grudges with anyone. Why would someone want my life? And I know how to form a military formation?"

The expression on Mr. Pei's face was indescribable.

"If they were ordinary little thieves and bandits, I could still say that I was unlucky, but the other party came in a menacing way... Anyway, let's check first!"

"Supposedly, these things are the secrets of the imperial court and cannot be disclosed to the outside world..."

Mr. Zhou gritted his teeth and said, "This matter is very important. Mr. Pei, please come with me."

After that, he said to the personal guard behind him: "Take Miss Pei and the others to the guest house and tell them that they will use the best food, food and clothing."

"Yes!"

Although the guest courtyard of the government office is not as deep as the winding paths of Guanyin Zen, the conditions are obviously much better.

Li Buyan said while tidying up the bed:

"Miss, you are really good this week. No wonder the old man at the herbal tea shop keeps praising you. I can confirm now that he could not have stolen the money."

Yan Sanhe was struggling with the skirt on his body.

Who stipulates that rich ladies must wear these things?
Layer after layer, it’s not too hot.

When Li Buyan saw that she was silent, he turned around and felt happy. He quickly put down what he was doing and picked out a set of simple men's clothes from his bag.

"Put it on!"

Yan Sanhe grabbed his clothes as if grasping a life-saving straw.

She thought to herself: Why can women only stay in the inner house for the rest of their lives?Even with these clothes, they can't run far!
After taking off his baggage and changing his clothes, Yan Sanhe felt like he was alive.

Someone knocked on the door.

When I opened it, it was Xie Zhifei.

Xie Zhifei lowered his eyes and smiled: "If you dress like this, it will be more comfortable for us."

Otherwise, you won’t know where to put your eyes.

Yan Sanhe made excuses for himself.

"To the outside world, I am a tomboy at home. I often dress up as a man and play with my brother outside, so I am wild at heart."

"That's a good excuse."

Xie Zhifei: "Mingting called us over."

Yan Sanhe: "Did you get the portraits of Wu Guanyue and his son?"

Xie Zhifei: "We can't borrow it. Ming Ting asked you to copy it."

"go!"

Yan Sanhe walked a few steps and frowned when he saw Xie Zhifei still standing there.

Third Master, don’t waste time!
Xie Zhifei leaned on the door frame, "I won't go. I'll wait here for you to come back. Zhu Qing will go with you."

Didn't you call us?

Want to be lazy?
