Chapter 388 Goddess (29)

The three of them ran to a remote alley in the back street, Ling'er had already collapsed from exhaustion, and fell to the ground with her mouth open, gasping for breath.

Wen Tingyun got two sticks on his knees and ran so far. Now his legs are burning with pain, and big beads of sweat are falling from his forehead.

"It's not suitable to stay here for a long time." Although the two were very tired, Jiang Muxue pulled them up, "Let's go, first find a shop to change your clothes, then dress up and leave Hongzhou."

"Where are you going?" Wen Tingyun asked out of breath.

"Silly sir, of course go find my sister!"

Wen Tingyun suddenly realized that only Duan Chengshi could solve the current situation, so he nodded and stopped talking, and followed Jiang Muxue panting heavily.

I couldn't find the shop, but met a few beggars on the way.

Jiang Muxue came up with an idea, changed clothes with a few beggars, begged all the way, and fled towards Yongzhou.

If you can ask for food, you can ask for food, if you can't ask for it, Jiang Muxue will take out money for Linger to buy and eat.

Half a month's journey, the three of them arrived in ten days.

And during these ten days, Mrs. Pei and County Magistrate Wang went crazy looking for three people.

Mrs. Pei has been stranded in the inn for ten days, and Li Yi has already sent someone to remind her.

This year, Li Yi's mother was ill, Mrs. Pei went back to take care of her illness, and just came back from Chang'an. She originally planned to go to Hongzhou prefectural office, but for many days, Mrs. Pei stayed in Daci'en Temple for some reason, insisting on doing some rituals .

Li Yi was in a hurry.

The Pei family was even more anxious. What worried them most was that Wen Tingyun and Jiang Muxue had escaped from Hongzhou and went to Yongzhou.

At that time, Li Yi found out that she deliberately framed Yu Youwei.

What should I do?
When Mrs. Pei was extremely worried, County Magistrate Wang secretly reported the matter to Li Yi in order to protect himself.

Li Yi was furious when he learned of Pei's real purpose of staying in Da Ci'en Temple. Such a Pei, who is usually domineering at home, but now he even goes out to cause trouble for him!
It is really unbearable and unbearable!
It's not that Li Yi doesn't believe in Pei Shi, but that he knows Jiang Muxue too well, and he is definitely not a person who can sneak around.

Besides, he has been following Jiang Muxue silently all these years, and knows something about Jiang Muxue's shop opening in Chang'an.

That being the case, then Jiang Muxue is not a person who is short of money, why bother to be ashamed for nothing because of that pair of porcelain vases?

Only fools do that.

Therefore, Li Yi knew at a glance that it was Pei's handwriting.

Immediately, Li Yi sent his personal butler to order Mrs. Pei to enter the city immediately.

Although Pei was unwilling, she had to obey her husband's order, so she had to give up temporarily.

And, before leaving, he repeatedly asked County Magistrate Wang to keep him secret.She spent a hundred gold to seal the mouth of County Magistrate Wang, but County Magistrate Wang who had already betrayed her refused repeatedly and said some nonsense officialdom.

Mrs. Pei is helpless, she doesn't want it, and she can't force the money to others.

So he left angrily.

When he arrived at the Hongzhou government office, he was reprimanded immediately when he saw Li Yi.

Only then did Mrs. Pei realize that the despicable magistrate Wang had already informed Li Yi, but at this moment, she was too busy to take care of herself, so she had to make a note for magistrate Wang in her heart.

Although Li Yi revealed that her real purpose of staying in Da Ci'en Temple was not to do something, but she refused to admit that she designed to frame Wen Tingyun and others, and insisted that Jiang Muxue and others took the pair of vases for money.

Li Yi sneered, and said, "He is also a well-known rich man in Chang'an, so he will be rare for your pair of broken bottles!"

After speaking, he became tough for the first time in his life and ordered Pei to be grounded.

Mrs. Pei was extremely surprised and shocked. In the past few years of marrying Li Yi, she has always said one thing at home, and Li Yi can only obey, but now he wants to restrain her feet!
Pei made a fuss in front of the servants, Li Yi felt that he had lost much of his face as a man, so he couldn't help but sneered, "If madam really doesn't want to live with this servant, you can make peace."

Pei's natal family is very powerful, and Li Yi absolutely dare not say the word "divorce his wife".

But the peace and separation has seriously made Pei aware of the crisis.

Then I dare not make trouble anymore.

He was honest on the surface, but in his heart he gritted his teeth against Jiang Muxue and Wen Tingyun, and the steward took the opportunity to step forward and reveal that Jiang Muxue opened a shop in the capital.

Mrs. Pei was shocked, she was quite surprised just now, when Li Yi said that Yu Youwei was a rich man, after analyzing the matter, she immediately became jealous and hated.

A little slut, not only makes her husband think about her day and night, but now she has a lot of money by her side, living a happy life, but she has to be grounded by her husband, why?
Immediately, Mrs. Pei put her mind on Jiang Muxueyuan's shop in Chang'an.

Bitch, didn't you run away?

Run away hard, I will take your "old nest and wealth nest" in one pot, let's see how you do!

Just when Mrs. Pei was planning to find trouble in Chang'an, a letter from Duan Chengshi in Yongzhou fell into Li Yi's hands.

The words in the letter were gentle on the surface, but in fact every sentence was full of sarcasm and threats. After reading it, Li Yi was angry and angry.

Although Yongzhou is far away from Hongzhou, Duan Chengshi and the governor of Hongzhou, that is, Li Yi's Shangfeng, are close friends.

If Duan Chengshi was offended, his time in Hongzhou would not be long.

As soon as he thought of the chief culprit, Mrs. Pei, Li Yi became so angry that he went to Mrs. Pei and scolded his head and face. All the grievances of six years have been vented.

In the end, Pei's face turned green from being scolded, but he still resisted not daring to argue.

A month later, Li Yi was suddenly demoted from a fifth-rank Sima to a seventh-rank county magistrate in a small county in the jurisdiction of Hongzhou.

Pei was dumbfounded.

However, not only did she not regret what she had done, but instead she blamed herself for being negligent at the beginning, for not solving Wen Tingyun and Jiang Muxue on the spot, leaving disaster behind.

In the bleak autumn season, Li Yi took Mrs. Pei away from the government office in Hongzhou, and went down to the city to take office like eggplants beaten by frost.

Jiang Muxue and Wen Tingyun spent two months leisurely in Yongzhou, and when all the dust settled, they returned to the magistrate of Hongzhou Wang.

The county magistrate Wang was trembling and respectful, so he almost knelt down and kowtowed to Jiang Muxue to beg for mercy.

It's a troubled time now, and there are too many officials like County Magistrate Wang. Jiang Muxue only came to ask for her carriage, and didn't talk nonsense about anything else.

County magistrate Wang immediately returned the original items, and said that due to the long time, those local products had deteriorated long ago and could not be eaten. .

Jiang Muxue said with a smile: "A lord is an official, and a little girl is a citizen. If a lord gives money to a little girl, it's not considered a bribe, right?"

County magistrate Wang wiped off his sweat and said with a smile: "Where, where, these are the compensations given to the girl by the lower officials, because the lower officials don't know who they are, and they almost missed the girl's important matter."

"It doesn't matter, people are not sages and sages, who can have no faults? My lord's wish, the little girl accepts." After speaking, he smiled and accepted the 1000 taels of silver and the cart of souvenirs.

Wen Tingyun winked at the side.
