Chapter 238 What About Second Uncle
No matter how furious and cursing Pei Songzhi behind him was, Pei Jing still brought these people back to the mansion.

Gambling in private is not a big crime. You can be locked up for a few days at most, and you can go out after paying a fine.

Those who were arrested successively notified their family members to pay the fine, and were taken away by the guards. The last few people left, except for the remaining two or three who were homeless, without relatives and friends, were doing Final registration.

Pei Songzhi huddled in a corner alone, the arrogance he had just now had long since disappeared.

He watched helplessly as Pei Jing was sitting on the side with a pen taking notes, and waited until everyone had taken them away before he came up, and called out in embarrassment, "Ah Jing."

Pei Jing raised his eyelids, "Second Uncle, it's not a serious crime, you only need to pay 20 taels of silver, and you can go out after another seven days. Since you have money to play in the casino, the 20 taels of silver shouldn't matter to you." Let's talk."

Pei Songzhi had already scolded Pei Jing thousands of times in his heart, but the boss did not dare to offend him in the slightest, and said eagerly, "Ah Jing, how can I have so much money now?"

Pei Jing said quietly: "You have money to gamble, but don't have money to pay the fine? Otherwise, I'll find someone to tell my father?"

Pei Jing now has two fathers, and his biological father is naturally Pei Songmao. Since he adopted Pei Songmao as the second wife, in order to distinguish him from Pei Songde, he called Pei Songmao his father.

Pei Songzhi suddenly became anxious, and said repeatedly: "Don't tell my brother!"

He hesitated for a long time, then lowered his voice and said, "Ah Jing, anyway, you are now our second roommate, and we are also uncles and nephews. Why don't you lend me 20 taels of silver first? The fine has been paid, and when I go back, I will return the money to you as soon as possible, and then calculate the interest! How about it? I only have one request, just don’t tell my elder brother.”

Pei Jing shook his head slowly, and smiled slightly: "I'm really sorry, second uncle, my salary is only ten taels of silver a month, and I have to hand over the full amount to my wife. If you don't have half a big coin, where can I find you 20 taels of silver?"

Pei Songzhi couldn't help but want to scold angrily, but he suppressed it, and after gnashing his teeth for a long time, he suppressed the fire again, and reluctantly said: "We are also a family after all, Ah Jing, you can't look at my second uncle and me. Get into prison!"

Pei Jing smiled lightly and said, "Second Uncle's words are serious. You just stayed in the government office for a few days, how can it be regarded as a disaster in prison? And under the eyes of everyone, everyone knows that you are my Second Uncle , if I let you out this time, wouldn’t it appear that I have broken the law for selfishness? Second uncle, it’s only about six or seven days, so you should cultivate your health here! After I’m off duty tomorrow, I’ll go home and personally Plead guilty to your father."

Pei Jing didn't want to say anything to Pei Songzhi, so he waved his hand and ordered Pei Songzhi to be taken down.

The hall became quiet immediately, but Pei Jing remained silent.

It has only been half a year since Pei Songzhi came to Yunzhou. Although he is now working with Pei Songmao, his monthly allowance for a month is only seven or eight taels. Excluding daily expenses, he actually has gambling money on hand If he was playing with money, where did the money in his hand come from?

The more Pei Jing thought about it, the more he frowned, but now it was past midnight, so he had to wait patiently for the dawn.

When the hour of Chen arrived, Pei Jing couldn't wait to go home, but instead of returning to his own home, he went to Pei Songmao's home.

The distance between the two families is only one street. Although Pei Jing has adopted the second bedroom, he usually does not eat and live here, but occasionally comes to see Pei Songmao.

As soon as he came in, he saw Wang's face full of anxiety, running around in front of the hall.

Pei Jing came in to greet everyone, and now he also called Grandpa and Grandma to Wang Shi and Pei Xinglai. Seeing Wang Shi like this, he guessed in his heart that she must be anxious for Pei Songzhi.

Then he asked, "Grandma, what happened at home?"

Wang Shi was annoyed and wanted to answer Pei Jing's words, but she hadn't seen him come back a few times on weekdays, did she really think this was his home?

But at this time, he was in a hurry and rushed to the doctor, so he had to say: "Your second uncle hasn't returned all night, no one knows where he went."

Pei Songmao said on the side: "Songzhi is a big man, maybe he drank somewhere, or rested at a friend's house, maybe he will come back after a while, mother, don't worry."

Wang suddenly blurted out: "How can I not be in a hurry? This is the only son I have. If there is something wrong with him, what should I do?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone's face became ugly.

Pei Xinglai said angrily: "Songzhi is your son? Isn't Songmao your son? Over the years, you have never regarded Songmao as your own son in your heart!"

Wang's face turned pale for a while, which was very ugly. Although she did not regard Pei Songmao as her own son in her heart, now she and Pei Songzhi depended on Pei Songmao for all food and clothing expenses, so it was not easy to treat him as her own son. The person offended him too much, so he lost his smile and said: "Songmao, I am so confused, what I say is neither serious nor serious, don't worry about it. Naturally, I have always regarded you as my own son. It's just that Song Zhi didn't return all night, and I was so anxious that I lost my sanity."

What kind of thoughts are in Wang's heart? After all these years, Pei Songmao still doesn't know, how can he believe her lies, and offer her good food and drink in this house, it's just because of her It's because of serving Pei Xinglai for so many years.

He just smiled lightly at the moment, "It's nothing, I can understand mother's mood, mother, don't worry, I will let a few young men go out in a while, and look for the second brother everywhere in the city."

But Pei Jing interjected at this moment: "Father doesn't need to send someone to look for it, I know where Second Uncle is at the moment."

Everyone was startled: "Where is it?"

Pei Jing said: "Second Uncle is in the government office at the moment."

After Pei Jing told what happened last night, everyone fell silent.

Wang and Pei Xinglai were astonished and unbelieving, but Wang's face was as angry as Pei Songzhi's, and he pointed at Pei Jing's nose and cursed: "Since you know where he is, why don't you save him?" Come out? But it’s only 20 taels of silver, do you have to watch your second uncle go to jail?”

Pei Songmao glanced at Pei Jing sullenly, and seemed to see what Pei Jing was thinking.

He said in a deep voice: "Ah Jing, I will go to the government office with you. I have something to ask, so I have to ask him in person."
