Everyone is a villain, I am a madman, who am I afraid of?

Pei Shijing was amused by Pei Qingshan's words.

He said with a smile: "Dad, this is not appropriate here, right?"

"It's quite suitable." Pei Qingshan has no good feelings towards the Xie family now. He is naturally happy to be able to cause trouble for them.

After Xie Fang and Old Xie returned to their home, Xie Fang frowned and said, "Dad, how many kinds of grain do you think the Pei family has? Is it really only for people like us?"

Xie Fang was somewhat reluctant to believe what Pei Qingshan and the others said.

"No one knows how much grain they have except them. After all, they got it. But I have never heard them tell me where they came from." Mr. Xie said thoughtfully.

When Pei Qingshan showed it to him, he asked a few questions out of curiosity, but Pei Qingshan just said that they got it by accident, and how it was an accident, only they themselves knew.

Even if they wanted to ask about this matter now, Pei Qingshan would not tell them.

"Dad, if we want to get seeds, we have to buy this land. But we are not good at farming, so we can't plant anything even if we buy it." Besides, if nothing grows in the land, people will definitely be suspicious.

After all, everyone else's grain seeds grew food, but theirs grew nothing. No matter how you look at it, this is a bit unreasonable, right?

Mr. Xie agreed with Xie Fang's words and said helplessly, "I think the same as you, but given the current situation, it's probably impossible for us to take action."

"Let's clear the wasteland first. If it works, we'll buy the land. If not, forget it."

No one in their family has ever farmed, so if something like this happens suddenly, they will definitely not be able to accept it.

Xie Fang had no choice but to nod in agreement.

Thinking of something, Xie Fang went outside to find other people and asked about the situation in the north.

Those who already knew about the Xie family's situation only told them some simple information, and did not tell them any important news.

Xie Fang felt something was wrong when he heard what they said.

"Is it really like that? Is the situation here so easy?"

"Winter is long in the north. If the prince hadn't built the earth pits last winter, we wouldn't know how we would have survived, not to mention the other ordinary people. Now that we have this kind of grain, we just hope that the weather will be better this year so that we can plant more grain and distribute some to the people next year."

These words were truly for the good of the people, and even if Xie Fang wanted to find an excuse he couldn't.

Xie Fang frowned as he looked at the people in front of him, and suddenly asked, "Have you seen the prince recently?"

Hearing this question, the people standing with Xie Fang were even more puzzled and asked inexplicably: "Why are you looking for the prince? There are so many things in the north that need the prince to deal with. The prince should naturally be where he should be."

Xie Fang felt uncomfortable listening to this, it was as if he hadn't said anything.

"Do you really not know where the prince is? We have something to talk to him about." Xie Fang pretended to have something to say to Xiao Minye.

"I don't know. The prince hasn't contacted us."

Xie Fang asked several people and got the same result. In the end, he had no choice but to turn around and leave.

After everyone left, the people who had asked questions in Xie Fang gathered together and sneered, "There is indeed something wrong with the Xie family. They said this to the Pei family before, their purpose was to get grain seeds from the Pei family, right?"

Asking them such a question now is probably to test whether the prince has ever been here. If he has, then part of the food in the Pei family must have fallen into the hands of the prince.

They are not so stupid as to say what they know.

Although they really don't know where the prince is now, they still need to say what needs to be said clearly to prevent these people from doing things that they shouldn't do.

"Let's go find Qingshan and ask him clearly." No matter what, they still have to find out what is going on with the Xie family.

Several people went to Pei's house together. Pei Qingshan was not surprised at all when he saw them coming.

Pointing to the chair next to him, he said, "Why are you here to talk to me?"

"What's going on with the Xie family? Xie Fang came to us today to ask about the prince. What is his purpose?"

Pei Qingshan asked someone to guard outside and began to talk to them about the Xie family.

"That's roughly what happened. The Xie family might be behind our misfortune. The Xie family is very secretive and they were the ones who killed the late emperor." Pei Qingshan knew that they were all loyal to the late emperor, so he did not hide anything when talking about these things.

One of them suddenly stood up from his chair and looked at Pei Qingshan in disbelief: "Qingshan, is what you said true? Was the emperor really killed by the Xie family?"

"Yes, the godson of the late emperor's chief eunuch has been found. He has evidence that the Xie family killed the late emperor. Not only did they kill the late emperor, they also wanted to pin the blame on Xiao Chenghe."

Speaking of Xiao Chenghe, several people's faces looked a little bad. In their eyes, this man was just a useless waste.

"Let me tell you another piece of news. Xiao Chenghe and the Guan family have fallen out."

Several people were a little confused. Is this true? Isn't this something Pei Qingshan said as a joke to them?

"Is this true? Are you sure you're not kidding us?"

"No, I don't know what happened. Xiao Chenghe has changed a lot. Not only did he attack Guan Ji, but even Guan Xuran was beaten. Now he favors a concubine named Shuer."

Pei Qingshan actually knew what had happened, but knowing is one thing and actually saying it out loud is another.

Of course, these things cannot be told directly to the people in front of you to prevent accidents.

The people around him burst into laughter and seemed to be in a very good mood.

“This is a good thing to do.”

"But could this be done for our benefit?"

Pei Qingshan shook his head. This didn't seem like he was doing it for show.

"The people that the prince left behind in the capital were originally ready to come to the north, and my house has been built. However, now that they are highly valued by Xiao Chenghe and have formed an opposition with the Guan family, they can no longer come." Pei Qingshan said seriously, looking at the person in front of him.

Everyone looked at each other. No matter what, they still didn't believe that Xiao Chenghe would do such a thing.

"Qingshan, where is the prince? When can we see him?"

"The prince has a lot of things to deal with. He will come over when the situation stabilizes. I will notify you then and you can just come to my house directly." Pei Qingshan did not refuse them, but said with a smile.

They all understood in an instant that there must be a lot of connections between Pei Qingshan and Xiao Minye.

Being stared at like this, Pei Qingshan coughed lightly and said, "Don't stare at me like that. You will know about this matter later."
