After rebirth, I joined forces with my mortal enemy to seek revenge.
Chapter 697 Shadow
This voice was quickly drowned out by other voices. Cui Boyu seemed to realize that he had spoken out of turn, so he bowed and stepped aside. The group merged into the crowded and noisy crowd, and followed the crowd to the more prosperous and prosperous place in the West Market.
Seeing that Bi Fei was carrying more and more things in her arms, and the porter behind her also had his hands full of things, Pei Jiaoran sighed helplessly and called the porter to stop.
"Go find another person to help you deliver the stuff back to Chongyifang. After entering the square, go to the second alley in the northeast corner. There is a house with a sycamore tree at the door. The owner's surname is Pei. Just leave the stuff at the door." Pei Jiaoran took out a cloth bag from his sleeve and handed it over, smiling, "I'll pay double the wages."
After saying this, Li Fu happily took the cloth bag handed over by Pei Jiaoran, weighed it in his hand, and turned to the alley on the left. Not long after, he brought out two Kunlun slaves and took them to take the things in Bi Fei's hands.
Bi Fei, who had nothing in her hands, was naturally relaxed. She came to Pei Jiaoran's side and asked, "Girl, when are we going to light the candles?"
"It's You time. There are still four hours left. There are many people everywhere in the town. If you are tired, you might as well go to the Ao Temple to have a rest." Pei Jiaoran smiled and pointed to a peculiarly shaped temple in front of him.
"Can we go to the Zoroastrian temple to rest?" Bi Fei looked ahead curiously, looked around for a while and shook her head, "Let's find a restaurant to sit down first. Otherwise, if we go there too late, there won't be any seats."
Knowing that Bi Fei didn't want to cause trouble for him, Pei Jiaoran didn't refuse her and let Bi Fei lead them to a restaurant not far away.
Although the group arrived early, as Bi Fei said, there were indeed no good seats left. Bi Fei wandered around upstairs and downstairs for a long time before finally picking a seat. The owner initially said he would not sell it, as it was for his and his friends to have a small gathering, but Bi Fei kept asking him to buy it, and he finally sold it at three times the price.
Doctor Lou led the group to sit down, and Pei Jiaoran looked around. She stood up and walked to the fence. She had to say that the location chosen by Bi Fei was really good, and the whole West City could be seen from here.
"This is a really good place. I remember when I met Bi Fei a few years ago, you were still a crybaby. Now you have grown up so fast. I heard that you are studying in a girls' school now?" Pei Zhanran poured a cup and handed it to Pei Jiaoran in a gentle tone.
"Yes. The girl taught me a lot, but I feel it is not enough. I want to see a wider world. After I finish my studies, I want to continue to teach in the girls' school. Maybe I can find more outstanding talents for the girl to use." Bi Fei said.
Hearing Bi Fei's voice, Pei Jiaoran smiled slightly, "Oh, our Bi Fei has not only grown up a lot, but also has such ambitions. Not bad, it's worth my training for you."
"Sister Mancao, do you want to come with me?" Bi Fei tilted her head to look at Zhou Mancao. "The last time the teacher saw you, he thought you were very suitable for her eyes. Let me ask you, do you want to come to the girls' school together?"
"It's also good for me to learn pipa from my sister. Women's school must have many rules, which is not suitable for me. I still like to be free." Zhou Mancao glanced at Pei Jiaoran, "What do you think, girl?"
"Everyone has their own aspirations. Besides, there's nothing wrong with Mancao's choice." Pei Jiaoran seemed to be thinking about something. "I have something else to deal with. I'll be out for a while and will be back when the lights are on at twilight. Brother, Uncle Boyu, take good care of them."
Seeing Pei Jiaoran leaving, Pei Zhanran subconsciously looked at Cui Boyu.
"Don't worry, sir. What happened to the girl is probably not a big deal." Cui Boyu said.
At this moment, Pei Jiaoran had walked to the clothing store opposite the restaurant, bought a black cloak from the shop next to it, wrapped himself in it, and turned into a dark alley.
Even though he took a shortcut through a small alley, he still passed many people. After about half an hour, Pei Jiaoran finally managed to get out of Pingkangfang.
As soon as he left the gate, the guard waiting by the gate immediately came over with a horse. Pei Jiaoran jumped on the horse and headed straight for Guangdefang.
Today, most of the people in Chang'an City gathered in the West Market, so Guangdefang was relatively deserted. He rode his horse through the gate and headed straight to Jingzhaoyin in the southeast corner.
"Prime Minister Pei." The clerk waiting at the door stepped forward and said in a low voice, "Prime Minister Su has sent someone here just now. They have entered Jingzhao Prison and are preparing to interrogate the prisoner named Xu Yan."
Upon hearing this, Pei Jiaoran nodded slightly and signaled the clerk to lead the way.
When they reached the cell door, Pei Jiaoran suddenly stopped and said, "Tell the public kitchen staff to prepare three servings of mutton dumplings. Send them in after the people sent by Prime Minister Su finish the interrogation."
"Mr. Pei, this..."
"During the New Year, people have to eat dumplings," said Pei Jiaoran.
Although he didn't understand Pei Jiaoran's meaning, the clerk nodded and continued to lead the way for her. After the two entered the cell, they went straight to another empty room.
"Prince Pei, calculate the time. They have probably already started the interrogation. You..." The clerk lowered his voice, "Jingzhao Yin has already told me that everything is up to you. You can call in the Jinwu Guards at any time."
Pei Jiaoran shook his head when the words fell into his ears. He waved his hand to signal the clerk to leave.
Not long after the clerk left, curses and the sound of torture instruments falling on people were heard from the cell next door. Roars mixed with ridicule came through the wall.
Pei Jiaoran curled his lips with interest, and the smile in his eyes became even brighter.
Soon, the cell next door fell into silence. But after a while, footsteps were heard, as if someone was pacing back and forth.
"Go tell the Jingzhao Yin that this man has committed a heinous crime. Lord Su wants to cut off their food and water supply from today on. Let's see if they will confess."
There was a clang and a figure walked through the door.
After standing in the room for a long time, Pei Jiaoran pushed the door open and walked out. He walked slowly to the next cell and stood at the door looking inside.
"I've said it so many times. It was the Su family who harmed me first. I came to Chang'an just to seek justice." The man tied to the rack said slowly.
The other party's voice was much weaker than before, and a strong smell of blood kept coming out.
"Xu Yan, what kind of justice do you want?" Pei Jiaoran asked with a smile.
"A justice that is not afraid of power." Xu Yan raised her head and looked towards the door, but the blood was stained in front of her eyes, and she could only see a blurry shadow.
The sound of the chain shaking was heard again. The figure slowly walked in from the door and sat down in front of the table not far away.
"It's you! You are in cahoots with them." Xu Yan seemed to remember who the person in front of him was and roared.
"No. I am not from the same group as them. I am just me." Pei Jiaoran looked down at the documents on the table. "Have you confessed?"
"How is that possible? So many lives have been lost, why should I plead guilty? I won't admit to something I didn't do." Xu Yan said fiercely, "What on earth are you doing here?"
