The Male Wife

Misfortune never comes singly.

When the image of Miss Pei as a "slut" and "shameless" spread throughout Hwaseong, two important shops of the Pei family caught fire that night.

Brother Pei, who got the news in the middle of the night and rushed over overnight, saw that the fire in front of him had no possibility of being extinguished, his legs went limp, and he fell to the ground in despair.

You know, there are only three shops that can make money in the Pei family's shops, and now two of the shops that housed a lot of valuable goods have been completely burned down, so the Pei family's family business is completely on the verge of extinction. .

Brother Pei's eyes darkened and he fainted.

At the same time, Pei Cheng, who got the news as soon as the raging fire ignited, couldn't celebrate the grand occasion with singing and dancing. He looked at the little beggar who came to report the news, took out the silver he had prepared earlier, and put it on the table. In the hand of the little beggar, he said: "Take the money and leave Hwaseong tomorrow when the city gate opens. If you let me know that you are still staying in Hwaseong..."

The little beggar has done a lot of things for Pei Cheng, this time, he knew that Pei Cheng would not use him anymore, the little beggar tightly held the silver in his hand, and said: "Yes, I, I I will not betray you, I will leave tomorrow."

After finishing speaking, the little beggar bowed deeply to Pei Cheng. In the cold winter three months ago, if he hadn't met Pei Cheng who kindly gave him something to eat, he might have starved to death three months ago.

The old man told him that the kindness of a drop of water should be repaid by a waterfall, so he will never cause trouble for Pei Cheng, this is his benefactor.

Pei Cheng watched the little beggar turn around and lie on the ground, get out of the hole, and turned away after a long while.

Pei Cheng didn't know, the moment the little beggar got out of the burrow, he didn't run to the alley where he usually rested, but ran to a small street nearby, he looked at the Jiang Zhai steward standing in front of him, Said: "Steward, I have agreed with Madam, this is the silver taels Madam gave me."

As he spoke, the little beggar took out the silver he had been clutching just now and showed it to the steward of the Jiang residence.

The manager of the Jiang residence didn't look at him, "Well done. The matter has been smoothed out by the second master. No one will find out about your wife and you. You can just leave Huacheng tomorrow. Remember, no matter who asks you about this matter, You have to rot in your heart, and you can't speak out, or if the second master gets angry, even the wife can't save you."

"Hey!" The little beggar nodded, took another piece of silver from the Jiangzhai steward, and ran back to his resting place in a hurry.

The steward of the Jiang residence looked around, and then went back cautiously. Once he got back, he knocked on Jiang Linzhi's door, "Master, the matter is settled, and the little beggar will leave tomorrow."

"Take care of the matter quickly, and don't let people find Pei Cheng." Jiang Linzhi looked at the dark scene in front of him. Pei Cheng just made an excuse, saying that he wanted to see if the little guy was asleep, but in fact he was looking for him. A little beggar who secretly helps.

"My lord has been secretly helping Madam smooth out the evidence. Why can't Madam know about this?" The manager of Jiang's house couldn't figure it out after much deliberation. The shop, and now the parents of the Pei family who killed each other is to get it, and finally Pei Cheng secretly asked someone to burn the shop of the Pei family just now. Why did Jiang Linzhi do so many things for Pei Cheng secretly, but But he didn't say a word.

The manager of the Jiang residence doesn't understand, what exactly is Jiang Linzhi planning?

Jiang Linzhi said: "Don't say anything about this, go back."

The steward of Jiang's house didn't expect Jiang Linzhi to tell him. Hearing this, he turned around and left. After the steward of Jiang's house walked for a while, he turned his head and found that Pei Cheng had returned, and Jiang Linzhi also went to meet him.

The steward of the Jiang residence understood it, he probably understood that this should be the expression of deep affection for another person, Pei Cheng just went out behind Jiang Linzhi's back and did something bad, so he felt a little guilty, and said: "Go back first Oh, it's cold outside." Jiang Linzhi held Pei Cheng's hand, frowned, and said, "Since you know it's cold outside, why didn't you come back earlier."

Pei Cheng rubbed his nose, originally he really didn't intend to do anything to the Pei family, but today's words between Pei Xiaomei and Brother Pei really irritated him, so Pei Cheng couldn't bear it anymore.

"I just went around the front yard again, and I didn't feel cold." After Pei Cheng was tucked into the bed, the chill all over his body dissipated. Pei Cheng turned around, hugged the man's waist tightly, and said, "I'm leaving at dawn. Hwaseong is here, right?"

"If you don't want to leave, oh, you can leave later." Jiang Linzhi has no feelings for Huacheng, but he knows that Pei Cheng, who grew up in Huacheng, would be reluctant, but leaving is certain and cannot be changed. .

Jiang Linzhi hugged Pei Cheng and held him tightly in his arms. If it was before, he might not care about those so-called Taoist priests who know some mystic arts, but now he has his heart in his arms How dare you use these things to bet on someone in the movie?Jiang Linzhi is not afraid that Pei Cheng is a person from later generations, nor is he afraid that he will pose any threat to him. He is only worried that those Taoist priests will use mysterious techniques to deal with Pei Cheng.He will be reluctant.

"I thought you would say, since you're not willing to leave, you won't leave." Pei Cheng noticed that Jiang Linzhi's supervision of him was getting stricter these two days, but he didn't expect that it was because someone found out that he came from a later life That's why Jiang Linzhi takes himself with him wherever he goes.

In other words, Pei Cheng didn't know how nervous Jiang Linzhi was right now.

The heartless Pei Cheng never knew how much Jiang Linzhi had helped him secretly, nor did he know what he had been doing for his own safety these two days.

In the evening, Yamen.

Jiang Sanye looked at the subordinates who were beaten up with indifference, and said, "You gang of yamen servants can't beat some bastards from the rivers and lakes?"

The yamen servant couldn't tell because of his hardships, "Those people's ways are so complicated that we can't understand them. The exercises they use seem to be from the military barracks, so we can't beat them at all."

"Military camp!" Jiang Sanye jumped up from his chair, "Are they from the military camp?"

The yamen servant did not expect Jiang Sanye to have such a big reaction. He thought for a while and explained: "The way of their exercises is indeed a bit like that of a soldier who came out of the barracks, but it doesn't mean anything. There have been no wars in the past few years. The military salary in the village is not enough to support so many people, so a group of military men will be driven away after a few years of working. The military men will either grow crops or serve as thugs when they return to their hometown. Not surprising."

"What is Jiang Linzhi's way? He can find so many retired soldiers to serve as watchdogs for him." Jiang Sanye sat blankly on the chair with a dull face. He didn't expect that he would send him to secretly guard the fighting cock The people present were driven back by Jiang Linzhi in such a shameful way within a few days.

"When those people attacked, they put sacks over the heads of their brothers. Everyone couldn't see anyone. Even if they knew who did it, they could only suffer from being dumb now." Influenced by the influence, he took five or six brothers, all bearded and tailed, and returned with injuries all over his body.

Jiang Sanye waved his hand and said, "Go out."

The yamen servant nodded, "The brothers' wounds..."

"I don't need to go to the cockfight anymore. Brothers have to rest for a few days, count work-related injuries, and then ask the accountant to transfer some money, which is regarded as an apology to the brothers." Jiang Sanye paused, and then said: "From my private treasury Take out some money and send money to the brothers, this time I, Jiang Wenyun, will be sorry for everyone."

The yamen servant was overjoyed, this Third Master Jiang was really heroic, he was the most heroic person he had seen in these years, "Thank you, Mr. Zhifu!"

"Go down." Jiang Sanye said.

Inside the inn.

Qingzhuo and Baizhuo calculated for a whole night, and finally decided not to be reckless anymore, "Yesterday we went to the cockfighting arena, and the gang in charge entertained us with delicious food and drink, but after waiting for a whole day, we still didn't get the boss behind the scenes."

Bai Zhuo felt uncomfortable listening to Qing Zhuo's words, "Don't worry, I have just received news from the sect, and they will arrive the day after tomorrow at the latest."

"Since we already know that the boss behind the scenes is Jiang Linzhi from Jiang Zhai, why can't we just go and arrest him!" Qingzhuo was irritated, "If we can't find any evidence, why don't we just avenge the younger brother?"

"You saw what happened yesterday. They have a lot of people, but there are only three of us." Bai Zhuo sighed, "The little nephew is young, so we can't let him take risks with us. So it's better to stay At the inn, the people who are waiting for the Houtian Zongmen are gone, and we will go find that person together."

"Brother, if the evidence can be found, it would have been eliminated during the few days we were waiting in the inn. What should we do?" Qing Zhuo suddenly remembered a more important matter.

Bai Zhuo pursed his lips, "But you never thought, even if we can really get the evidence, do you think we can come back with the whole body after we go? There are few of us, if we go to find the evidence in such a reckless manner, we will not be able to come back." When someone killed me, how can we avenge our junior brother?"

"When we went to the cockfighting ground yesterday, the expressions of those in charge were not right. I think the death of junior brother has something to do with those people in all likelihood." Qing Zhuo said firmly, "If they have no ghosts in their hearts, they will really die. Welcome the two Taoist priests in?"

"That's what I'm worried about." Bai Zhuo thought a lot, so his thoughts became more complicated, "I'm afraid they are not afraid at all, so they let us in."

Qingzhuo understood Baizhuo's words in an instant, "They destroyed all the evidence long ago?"

"I'm afraid, it's more than that." Bai Zhuo said quietly.

Qingzhuo's heart fluttered, and he accidentally broke the teacup in his hand.

"Just wait, don't send sheep to the tiger's mouth again." Bai Zhuo pursed his lips, "Just wait for the people from the sect to come, and we will be able to investigate the death of our junior brother openly."

Qingdi nodded.
