The legitimate daughter becomes cannon fodder? Rebirth to overthrow the system's fatality
Chapter 33: Stealing Things from the Emperor
Mengzhou got up early in the morning and went downstairs to the inn lobby for breakfast.
Not long after I sat down, I heard the guests at the next table talking about something.
He didn't care at first, but the people at that table suddenly mentioned the 'Detoxification Pill'.
"The Pei family is miserable. They spent 50,000 taels to buy the detoxification pill, and it was gone in the blink of an eye."
"What can we do? Although the Pei family is rich, they have no power. Their son-in-law, the prime minister, is unreliable."
"Tell me, who would dare to poison Weng Shizhang?"
"Who knows? If you do too many bad things, there will always be heroes who can't stand it and take action..."
"Are you going to die? Keep your voice down..."
Mengzhou stood up and walked to the table next to him.
"Brothers, you just said that the Pei family's anti-poison pills are gone. What's going on?"
"What else could it be? It was robbed by County Magistrate Weng."
Mengzhou turned around, picked up the sword on the table, and said to the other two people: "Let's go!"
The three men didn't care that they were in a busy city and galloped on their horses.
When he arrived at the Weng Mansion, he was stopped outside by the police.
"Who are you? How dare you come to the Weng Mansion and act wildly!"
Although the emperor did not allow them to reveal their identities, Mengzhou took emergency measures and directly showed the token.
……
Weng Youcai breathed a sigh of relief when he saw his son's complexion gradually improve after taking the detoxification pill.
"Son, how do you feel?"
Once the poison was removed, Weng Shizhang recovered instantly.
"You are worthy of being the judge of life and death. The medicine really cures the disease!" Weng Shizhang sighed as he looked at his hands that had regained their strength.
"Who dared to poison me? I must find this person and chop him into pieces..."
At this moment, a servant came in: "Sir! Quick, quick go to the front hall, the court is coming..."
Before the servant could finish his report, Mengzhou rushed in.
"Where's the anti-poison pill?"
"Who are you? How dare you trespass into my mansion!"
Mengzhou put the sword on Weng Youcai's neck and said in a voice like a death knell: "Where's the medicine?"
"Medicine, medicine, take it..." Weng Youcai took a look at the sword that was shining with cold light, and the arrogance on his face disappeared.
"Eat it?!" Mengzhou's face suddenly changed.
He kicked Weng Youcai out, and he fell to the ground with a loud noise. Then the sound of Weng Youcai slaughtering a pig echoed throughout the Weng Mansion.
The sudden change frightened the Weng family so much that their faces changed drastically.
The three people who suddenly broke in looked like gods of death.
"Who are you? How dare you break into my mansion and commit crimes..." Weng Shizhang stood up and looked at the three people.
Mengzhou looked at the Weng family as if they were dead objects.
You are asking for your own death by trying to steal things from His Majesty!
He was also very upset.
If he had known this, he would have gone to Pei's house to get the detoxification pill as soon as he arrived in Gusu yesterday, even if it was late at night.
Mengzhou led his men and left. Weng Ruyi immediately stood up and yelled at the servants of the Weng Mansion: "Are you dead? Take down these three people!"
"Master, this is the deputy commander of the Jinyiwei."
Weng Youcai, who had just been helped up, turned pale with fright.
"Jin, Jin Yiwei?"
The three people from Mengzhou left without looking back.
"Why did the Jinyiwei come to Gusu?" Weng Youcai looked very unhappy.
"It seems he is here for the 'Detoxification Pill'." Thinking of the person who asked about the 'Detoxification Pill' as soon as he came in, he felt a little uneasy.
"The Jinyiwei works for the emperor. Could it be the emperor... No, I have to go find my father-in-law!" After saying this, Weng Shizhang hurried out.
……
Cheng Jiuyuan looked at the news Pei Xiu brought her and curled her lips.
Mengzhou did not return to Beijing, apparently he was waiting for the emperor's order.
After all, no matter how low Weng Youcai's position was, he was still an official of the imperial court. Without the order from above, he couldn't do anything to Weng Youcai directly.
The emperor would definitely not punish the Weng family for the "detoxification pill" incident, but if the emperor wanted to punish someone, there would be too many reasons and they would be too easy.
The Weng family is in trouble.
The Pei family was also a victim this time. They spent a full 50,000 taels to pay tribute to the emperor. They were so loyal.
What's more, the Pei family and the Weng family no longer have any relationship. With Mengzhou as a witness, the Pei family cannot be implicated in this matter.
"Things are going better than we expected. Come on, uncle will take you to the street to play!" Pei Xiu touched Cheng Jiuyuan's head and led her out.
"At such a young age, you should still play."
"Dad, where are you going? I want to go too!"
Pei Xiu was about to leave the house with his niece when he ran into his three sons.
"Okay, let's all go!" Pei Xiu was in a good mood today and was very easy to talk to.
Pei Xiu took the children on the carriage. The carriage was spacious and five people could sit in it without feeling crowded at all.
The market at the end of the year is particularly lively, with shops lining both sides of the street, hung with ribbons and red lanterns.
The streets were crowded with people, and the sounds of shouting, singing and cheering were endless.
Cheng Jiuyuan leaned on the car window and looked at the fireworks, with a smile on her face.
"Let's go, get out of the car."
Pei Xiu got out of the car and told his three sons to take good care of their little cousin.
"Also, keep your wallets safe. It's the end of the year now, and Qing Chan wants to make some money for the New Year."
As soon as Pei Xiu finished speaking, he heard someone shouting.
"Catch the thief! Catch the thief!"
"Don't run! Catch him!"
Soon there was a commotion ahead, and a man quickly rushed past Pei Xiu and his companions.
Pei Xuan pulled Cheng Jiuyuan and avoided being hit by anyone.
Before Cheng Jiuyuan could stand firmly, he quickly grabbed a ceramic teapot from the stall next to him and smashed it over.
The man was caught off guard and was hit on the head.
He covered his head and screamed in pain, his body swayed forward and fell to the ground, but he quickly got up again.
At this moment, a man in black clothes flew down from the second floor of the teahouse and subdued the thief with just a few moves.
Pei Xiu whispered: "This is Mengzhou."
Cheng Jiuyuan looked over and saw Mengzhou, who looked to be in his thirties and looked very heroic.
In his previous life, he was a member of the prince's faction, and finally died at the hands of Chu Ze.
Mengzhou handed the thief over to his men and walked towards Cheng Jiuyuan.
"This little girl is really brave and fearless."
Cheng Jiuyuan smiled and didn't say anything.
A misstep.
She should be lying on the bed with her life hanging by a thread now. If people in the capital knew that she was so "brave", she would be in trouble.
Pei Xiu also thought of this, and immediately stepped forward to block his niece, and bowed to Mengzhou: "Brother, thank you for the compliment. You are really skilled, I admire you."
Cheng Jiuyuan pulled Pei Xiu's sleeve and said, "Uncle, let's go quickly."
"Let's go." Pei Xiu nodded slightly to Mengzhou, then left with the children.
Mengzhou looked at Pei Xiu.
Pei Xiu, the richest man in Gusu.
In the past few days, he has thoroughly understood the important people in Gusu.
I didn’t expect that the Pei family was actually the Yue family of the prime minister of the current dynasty.
Cheng Zongyang was one of the few neutrals in the court.
The Pei family must not be involved in this case.
The little girl who just called Pei Xiu "uncle" should be the prime minister's legitimate daughter.
This little girl is amazing.
