The eldest lady just wants to be a crazy beauty

Chapter 16 Blocking
Looking at this posture now, with Pei Xingheng lying on the ground and Qin Ruizhi towering above him, it is really an insult to his reputation as Young Master Pei.

Pei Xingheng got up from the ground, dusted off his body, bowed his hands and said: "I heard that the eldest lady is going to Xiangzhou, so I waited here specially to tell the eldest lady that Xiangzhou cannot go, the city is closed, come in If you don’t go, you can’t get out.”

After the war, it is time to recuperate and recuperate. We need to let the displaced people in the city go out to find a life, and we also need to attract merchants from outside the city to circulate in the market, supply goods, and exchange what they need. There is absolutely no reason to close the city and cut off communication.

Of course Qin Ruizhi didn't believe it: "You want to stop me from leaving the city? Mr. Pei, we have no grudges and have never offended you. The Pei family's caravan saved my life, and I personally came to thank the Pei family. There is nothing wrong with the Pei family. You stopped me." Why should I leave the city?"

There must be a reason for being diligent for no reason.

Pei Xingheng was startled, his attitude became more humble, and he smiled a little: "The eldest lady misunderstood, I really just admire Mr. Gao's character. I accidentally learned that the eldest lady was going to Xiangzhou, and I was afraid that the eldest lady would take the wrong path. That’s why I waited here specially.”

Qin Ruizhi sneered: "Xiangzhou will not close the city."

It turned out that this was what he was doubting about. Pei Xingheng relaxed a little and said slowly: "The Pei family has business in Xiangzhou. We got the news half a month ago. General Fudu ordered the city to be closed, and all communication inside and outside the city was strictly prohibited. Can the Pei family's shopkeeper return?" Come on, the Pei family’s goods can’t enter Xiangzhou.”

After the war, everything was in ruins. The clothes to wear, the rice to eat, the tea to drink, and the bowls to use were all the business of the Pei family. They were originally waiting for the war in Xiangzhou to subside so that they could go in and make a fortune, but now it turns out that Can't even enter the city.

I don’t know what medicine the general is selling in his gourd.

"Are you sure the city is closed?" Qin Ruizhi was extremely puzzled: "Why is the city closed?"

Pei Xingheng didn't know, but he made a rough guess. He moved a little closer to Qin Ruizhi, lowered his voice, and said mysteriously: "Miss, I know a thing or two. Why don't you invite the eldest lady to sit down and have some tea, and I'll take your time with you." Tao comes."

After speaking, he made a gesture of please.

There was a crude tea shed not far away. There was a pair of tea bowls on the tea table, and there was still unfinished herbal tea in the bowls.

Qin Ruizhi sat down and put away the tea bowl, "I won't drink the tea anymore. Please tell me why Xiangzhou is closed down?"

This was Pei Xingheng's home court. He poured himself a cup of herbal tea in a leisurely manner, sipped it carefully, and after making enough gestures, he slowly said, his voice low, for fear of being overheard:

"The news that the shopkeeper of the Pei family brought back in the account book is not true, it is just hearsay. I heard that General Fudu massacred half of the city in Xiangzhou, and the blood flowed like a river. Everyone's surname is Sheng, and his name has Sheng in it, which has the same pronunciation. Counting all those with different characters, even those who raised a puppy and called him a dog were slaughtered. They were killed cleanly."

Pei Xingheng's voice was like a mosquito or a fly, or like the fine lines of blue waves, but Qin Ruizhi's voice sounded like a stormy sea, with blood surging all over her limbs, her fingers writhing, and her teeth gnashing.

As expected, Gu Bingyi was still unwilling to let go of the Sheng family.

Pei Xingheng took advantage of the situation and asked: "Do you know why it was King Xiang who conspired against him? Why is General Gu not a member of the Tu Sheng family?"

Why?Why else?
Of course it was because Sheng Mingyan, the general who followed King Xiang to fight against the imperial court and blocked an army of [-] troops outside Xiangzhou City for half a year, was his biological daughter. "..." Qin Ruizhi was silent, with a cold look in his eyes and a buzzing in his ears.

Pei Xingheng simply showed off: "Did you know that the guard of Xiangzhou City is a female general. The ancient general was ordered to suppress the rebellion, and the army marched under Xiangzhou City, boasting that the city of Haikou would be destroyed within three days. It was this female general, We had to defend for half a year. A woman blocked an army of [-] people outside Xiangzhou City for half a year. Where could Gu Bingyi put his face..." Then you can't kill people, vent your hatred, and save some lost face.

Qin Ruizhi could no longer hear clearly what Pei Xingheng was saying. She could only feel that her ears were filled with the heart-rending shouts of innocent people, cries for help, and hysterical cries of injustice.

They resented her and her maternal grandfather and grandmother. Because of their own selfish interests and old grudges, they wanted to follow King Xiang in rebellion and killed them.They died miserably, unjustly, and without a burial place.

Her maternal grandparents were waving to her, wanting to take her with them.They should be together, but she survived in another way.

Qin Ruizhi felt like the world was spinning. She wanted to stand up, but her vision was blurred. The hand holding the edge of the table fell free and she hit her head on the table. Her breath was stuck in her heart and she couldn't recover for a long time.

Pei Xingheng's eyes were so frightened that he jumped away like a big frog: Is this girl too timid?Just a few words of scaremongering to scare someone like this, maybe there is some serious illness, right?Can you stop blackmailing him?
"Miss, Miss, Miss..." Pei Xingheng called several times, but Qin Ruizhi never responded. She raised her head and looked around. Seeing that no one was paying attention to what he was doing, she patted Qin Ruizhi's cheek with her hand and said, The person with the surname shouted: "Qin Ruizhi, wake up quickly? Don't get scared and rely on me again?"

Qin Ruizhi still had no reaction.

Pei Xingheng simply picked up the teapot and poured a sip into his mouth. Just as he was about to gush out the tea, he thought about it better not to have such close contact with Qin Ruizhi. He swallowed the water, turned the kettle over, and poured half the tea into Qin Ruizhi's mouth. face.

The tea water flowed down her forehead and into her eyes. Qin Ruizhi finally woke up, looking embarrassed and ready to leave.

"Hey... Miss Qin..." Pei Xingheng stretched out his hand to stop Qin Ruizhi, "After hearing this first-hand news, Miss Qin is planning to roll up her sleeves and leave without you having to worry about the journey?"

Qin Ruizhi raised his head: "What do you want?"

Pei Xingheng stretched out two fingers and said with a flattering smile: "One piece of information costs 100 taels. I just told you two pieces of news. You have to pay me 200 taels of silver."

200 taels, might as well go grab the money.If there was peace, Qin Ruizhi would definitely beat Pei Xingheng to the point where he would be all over his teeth. He would kneel on the ground and offer 200 taels, begging her to let him go.

But now Qin Ruizhi had no intention of getting entangled, and touched the silver bag at her waist. It was the 50 taels of silver that Sun Xiumin had just given her in the morning, and threw it to Pei Xingheng together with the silver bag.

Pei Xingheng weighed the money, opened the purse and counted it. There were only 50 taels of silver. "Miss, there are only 50 taels here, which is far from enough."

"Go to Gaofu to find me." Qin Ruizhi wanted to leave and find an open place to calm down.

"There is no evidence and it is not trustworthy. Why don't you, the eldest lady, write me a piece of paper and sign it as a contract." Pei Xingheng said, taking out a square folder from his arms, the size of a palm, just enough to write a three-character name. Even the pen and ink are ready, and he can't wait to smile: "Miss, please write your name on this note. With your receipt, I can go to Gaofu confidently."
