The Devil's Tribulation

At midnight, Pan Chengfeng held Shuang'er's slender waist with one hand, lifted Shuang'er's legs with the other hand and said, "Hold on to me, I'm going to jump." Shuang'er was nervous and asked, "This is the third floor, just jump down like this? I'm afraid my legs will be broken, right?" Pan Chengfeng rolled his eyes and jumped down without waiting for Shuang'er to react. Shuang'er subconsciously shouted, "Ah!~" After landing, Pan Chengfeng covered Shuang'er's mouth and said, "Why are you yelling?!" He quickly picked up Shuang'er again, dodged, and disappeared from the spot. Shuang'er was so shocked that she couldn't say a word after being carried like a princess all the way, and just hugged Pan Chengfeng's neck tightly.

Arriving at an empty corner, Pan Chengfeng suddenly stopped and said a little embarrassedly: "Are you familiar with Fancheng? I seem to be lost." Shuang'er put her arms around Pan Chengfeng's neck, buried her head in Pan Chengfeng's chest, smelled the scent of Pan Chengfeng, and said secretly: "Master, you smell so good." Just as she was intoxicated, she suddenly heard Pan Chengfeng's words and said with a smile: "Master, how can I see the road if you hold me like this?" Pan Chengfeng reacted at this time, and quickly put Shuang'er down and asked: "Hurry up, find the way, otherwise we will sleep on the street at night." Shuang'er asked curiously: "Where do you want to go, Master?" Pan Chengfeng was also stunned when he heard this: "Yes, I haven't thought about where to go yet. You are familiar with Fancheng, where do you say we should go?" Shuang'er rolled her eyes and said: "Why don't we go to my house?" Pan Chengfeng asked: "Didn't your house get raided?" Shuang'er said with a dim look in her eyes: "It was raided, but the house is still there, we can spend the night there."

Pan Chengfeng thought about it and said, "Then let's stay there for one night. Where is it?" Shuang'er pointed in a direction and said, "My home is in the city center. It will take about a day to walk from here. Young Master runs so fast, we should be able to arrive soon." Pan Chengfeng nodded and said, "I'll take you with me. You show the way. Let's go." Then he picked up Shuang'er again and ran all the way. About twenty minutes later, Shuang'er in his arms suddenly said, "We're here. It's the big house in front." Pan Chengfeng braked hurriedly. In front of him was a shabby big house. There was a plaque that was broken by one-third at the gate, but the words "Gu Mansion" could still be seen. The gate was still sealed, and the door nails were almost all fallen off. It was only a year before the whole Gu Mansion became so shabby. Pan Chengfeng jumped in with Shuang'er in his arms. The whole Gu Mansion was full of weeds and spider webs. Pan Chengfeng looked for a cleaner room along the way, but found that Shuang'er in his arms hadn't spoken for a long time. He felt again that the clothes on his chest were soaked. From the moment she entered the mansion, Shuang'er couldn't hold back her tears, but she managed to hold them back without making any sound.

Pan Chengfeng sighed, put Shuang'er down and comforted her: "Don't be sad, your parents don't want you to cry all day long. Don't you still have a younger brother? You have to be well before you can go find your brother. If you are so sad all day, your body will soon collapse." Shuang'er wiped her tears, but the more she wiped, the more tears she cried. Pan Chengfeng had never experienced such a big family change, and didn't know how to comfort her. In the end, he could only hug Shuang'er and let her find comfort on his shoulder. A few minutes later, holding the beauty and smelling her body fragrance, Pan Chengfeng suddenly felt that some part of his body was a little disobedient, and secretly said: "Damn it, what time is it, and I am still thinking about this?! Am I a beast?!" Fortunately, the body cultivator has a strong control over the parts of the body. Pan Chengfeng hurriedly controlled it, otherwise he would be embarrassed. In fact, it can't be blamed on Pan Chengfeng. Now he is fifteen years old, just at that time. He can control himself, which is a strong willpower.

After a while, Shuang'er's mood improved a little. Pan Chengfeng patted Shuang'er on the back and said, "Are you feeling better? If you keep crying, it will be dawn soon." Shuang'er said a little embarrassedly, "I'm sorry. I can't control myself when I see my old home become like this. Master, please don't blame me, okay?" Pan Chengfeng scratched Shuang'er's nose and said, "Okay, how can I blame you? Shuang'er is already very strong." After that, he looked around and said, "See where to rest. I don't know the way." Shuang'er also observed the surroundings and said, "Master, follow me." With that, Shuang'er went straight in one direction. Pan Chengfeng followed her all the way. Fortunately, the moon came out today, otherwise they would have to move forward in the dark. Pan Chengfeng would be fine, but Shuang'er would definitely be at a loss.

After many twists and turns, they finally came to a room and pushed the door open. In addition to a broken rattan chair and two or three broken bookshelves, the rest was dust and garbage. Shuang'er looked at the room and said, "This is my father's study. My father never let my brother and I come in before." Then, Shuang'er walked to the rattan chair and said, "My father used to like to lie here and read books..." Her eyes turned red again. Pan Chengfeng quickly interrupted and said, "Well, it's quite big. You go out first and I'll tidy it up." Shuang'er looked at Pan Chengfeng strangely, not knowing how he was going to tidy it up. Pan Chengfeng walked to the corner, raised his right hand, and waved it vigorously. A gust of wind came out in response, blowing all the dust and garbage on the ground into a corner. Then Pan Chengfeng took out two bear skins like a magic trick, one for the ground and one as a quilt. Finally, he took out a big pillow, which was made by Pan Chengfeng himself, using tiger skin as a pillowcase and stuffed with dried herbs. It smelled so comfortable.

After doing all this, Pan Chengfeng turned around and said to Shuang'er, "Let's stay here for the night. Are you cold? Do you want to make a fire?" It was already early autumn, and the temperature was still very low at night. Pan Chengfeng was afraid that Shuang'er's body could not bear it. Shuang'er was shocked by Pan Chengfeng's actions. Not to mention the cleaning with a wave of his hand, but also the conjuring of so many things like magic, Shuang'er had never heard of it before. Hearing Pan Chengfeng ask if they wanted to make a fire, Shuang'er quickly shook her head and said, "No, the fire might attract other people's attention. It would be bad if we were discovered."

Pan Chengfeng thought about it and agreed, so he took out another tiger skin, put the two bear skins underneath, and used the tiger skin as a quilt. After finishing, Pan Chengfeng lay down first and covered himself with the tiger skin. Seeing Shuang'er standing there at a loss, Pan Chengfeng smiled in his heart, but said very naturally: "Come here, don't you want to sleep?" Shuang'er said shyly: "Just sleep like this?" Pan Chengfeng pretended to be surprised and asked: "Then how else are you going to sleep?" Then he remembered something and said: "Oh, I was really careless." Shuang'er saw that Pan Chengfeng finally remembered the difference between men and women, and just when she was relieved, Pan Chengfeng took out a mosquito coil, lit it and said: "Although it is early autumn, there are still mosquitoes. You, a young lady, can't do without mosquito coils. Now you can."

Seeing Shuang'er still standing still, Pan Chengfeng said, "The conditions are limited now, Shuang'er, just make do with it and sleep." After saying that, he patted the place reserved for Shuang'er. Shuang'er originally wanted to say something like the difference between men and women, but she thought that she had been carried by Pan Chengfeng all the way today. So she bit the bullet and came to Pan Chengfeng shyly, sat down, pulled up the tiger skin to cover her, and lay on the tiger skin pillow with her back to Pan Chengfeng. Pan Chengfeng smiled slightly and said, "How is it? Warm?" Shuang'er subconsciously said "hmm", and Pan Chengfeng continued, "It will be warmer if you hold me." Shuang'er was startled, stood up and said, "You, you, you, you pervert!" Pan Chengfeng smiled slightly, "You are my maid, what's wrong with warming my bed?" Shuang'er's face flushed, her ears turned red, and she stammered and couldn't speak. Pan Chengfeng continued, "Does being my maid just mean you're trying to buy time? You're going to dump me after you're done using me?" Shuang'er said hastily, "I didn't. I just..." Pan Chengfeng's expression changed, "Just what? You just want to wait for your uncle to come find you, and then dump me? Or do you want to use me to help you get revenge?!"

Shuang'er heard what Pan Chengfeng said and asked in horror: "How did the young master know..." Only after asking did she realize that she had let the cat out of the bag. Pan Chengfeng said indifferently: "You have been acting in front of me to win my sympathy, thinking that you have mesmerized, and what you told me is half true and half false. Maybe you didn't want to use me at first, but after I taught Master Lu a lesson, you started to think about it. Bringing me here was also your plan, in order to arouse my sympathy, and then use my beauty to use me to kill Prefect Lu, because your father was not wronged at all, but deserved it! As for Prefect Lu, he just escaped because he had someone behind him. You don't have any account books at all, so you can't seek justice, and can only use me for revenge. Kill Prefect Lu now, what about in the future? Do you want to kill the prince of the Great Zhou? Or even the emperor?"

The more Pan Chengfeng talked, the more terrified Shuang'er became, because what Pan Chengfeng said was basically the same as what she thought. After being frightened, Shuang'er was like a deflated ball. She had no strength at all and collapsed on the bear skin. Pan Chengfeng said reluctantly: "Shuang'er, how old are you this year?" Shuang'er said weakly: "Fifteen." Pan Chengfeng chuckled and said: "Gu Tongzhi is really amazing. He taught you very well. You are so scheming at such a young age." Shuang'er asked back: "How old are you, young master? Aren't your scheming even more terrifying? Could it be that some old monster has the secret to keep his youth?" Pan Chengfeng blushed and said: "What nonsense are you talking about? Your young master is only fifteen years old this year, but he must be older than you. I was born earlier."

Shuang'er didn't care whether Pan Chengfeng was at the beginning or the end of the year, and said helplessly: "Master, you know now. No matter how you punish Shuang'er, Shuang'er has no complaints. I just feel sorry for my brother..." Pan Chengfeng interrupted: "Okay, don't play the emotional card with your brother." Shuang'er was stunned and asked: "What card?" Pan Chengfeng said indifferently: "Now you can tell me about your father." Shuang'er said indifferently: "Master, don't you know everything? Why are you asking Shuang'er?" Pan Chengfeng said: "I just want to know how much difference there is between what you said and what I thought." Shuang'er said: "Now there is nothing to hide from you. In fact, my father has been reselling the grain in the granary with Lu Wannian. Lu Zhifu took 50% of the proceeds, my father took 30%, and the remaining 20% ​​was used to bribe people. This has been done for several years. Shuang'er has been persuading my father, but money can move people's hearts. In order to climb up, my father needs money in too many places. Therefore, he didn't listen to Shuang'er's advice at all, and finally caused the disaster of extermination of the family."

Pan Chengfeng asked curiously, "Then your father deserves it. Why do you hate Prefect Lu so much?" Shuang'er suppressed her hatred and said, "How much silver has Lu Wannian taken over the years? And it was he who offended the Third Prince! What does it have to do with my father? That year, the Third Prince came to find the Fifteenth Prince, but Lu Wannian failed to do his job well. When the Third Prince was about to punish him, the immortal they supported in their mansion actually came forward and suppressed the Third Prince. This completely offended the Third Prince. The Third Prince did not make a fuss on the surface, but secretly asked someone to check the records of the granary in recent years. After returning to Beijing, he immediately impeached Lu Wannian with the Emperor, and only then did the Imperial Envoy come to investigate the granary. How could this problem withstand investigation? The Imperial Envoy quickly found out the problem. Lu Wannian was afraid, so he went to find the immortal again and threatened the Imperial Envoy who was handling the case at the time, asking them to put all the blame on my father, otherwise my father, as an accomplice, would not end up with the whole family being executed!"
