I'm afraid you'll be widowed

Pei Gong was confused and had a light sleep all night.

So half asleep and half awake, I almost missed my trip to Beizhen the next day.

Now he is more stable and obedient at home than ever before, just trying not to distract his father and brother from taking care of him.

Yu Zirong, magistrate of Xianghai County, covered the sky with one hand, and Pei Gong was indeed able to dig out such a malignant tumor.

Therefore, the chief banner officer has only been in office for less than a month, and he has already made an exception and promoted a hundred households.

There were a lot of gossips, but Pei Gong never felt guilty, so he didn't bother to talk to those people who were only jealous.

As soon as the affairs in Beizhen were over, Pei Gong hurried to the north of the city.

Previously, Lu Changming and his group of Xuanfu Guards were stranded in the capital because the inner guards tore up the road guides. Now that the Xuanfu Guards have undergone major changes, they are naturally anxious to return to Xuanfu.

The traitors in the army have not been caught, but the [-] troops on the outer road have been wiped out. The main general Pei Ying was seriously injured, and they were lost when they returned empty-handed.

However, Liang Guogong's mansion is troubled, and it is not easy to send them off with great fanfare, so only Pei Gong is left to go outside the city, which can be regarded as a gesture of affection.

Pei Gong looked at the dejected crowd, and couldn't help but keep silent.

Thinking back to when Pei Yingchu sent them to Beijing, everyone was full of ambition.

At that time, how could he have imagined that if the traitor was not caught, the Xuanfu Guard would suffer a catastrophe instead, and the matter would end in such a hasty way.

All Pei Gong's words were on the lips, and there was only one sentence left in the end.

"Brother Lu, what exactly did the traitor take?"

"He has a letter." Lu Changming said frankly.

"A letter? What kind of letter?" Pei Gong was puzzled.

"I don't know." Lu Changming sighed softly, "I don't even know whose letter it was addressed to and what was written on it."

"All we know is that he has a crucial letter."

Lu Changming's voice gradually lost his confidence, and he forced himself to bow his hands to Pei Gong.

"Third Master, take your leave."

"The mountain is high and the road is far away, and everything is cherished."

Autumn has dyed the countryside with a layer of depression.

Pei Gong watched them straddle away, their figures turned into small dots and disappeared into the boundless world.

He sighed softly and turned back to the city.

The coachman by the city gate was fetching water to drink for the horse. The horse seemed to think the water was cold, so it couldn't help but raised its head and snorted.

The splash of water splashed on Pei Gong's body as expected.

When the groom saw Pei Gong's Yanling sword and flying fish suit, half of his soul was scared out of his mind.

How can ordinary people dare to sin against Jin Yiwei?

He hastily nodded and bowed, apologized to Pei Gong and wiped his clothes: "Officer, official, forgive me, this beast has nothing to do with it."

The water system in central Beijing is not well developed, and all the streams and rivers in the city come from one main trunk, which is the Lu River in the east of the city.

The sky is cold, the water is cold, and people's hearts are also cold.

Pei Gong hooked the corners of his lips inexplicably, laughing so hard that hairs stood on end.

The groom just sneaked a glance, then quickly lowered his head again in fright.

It was just after such a short time of tossing around the gate of the city, there was a sudden commotion on the bank of the Lu River.

People around stared at Luhe one after another, Pei Gong couldn't help being attracted.

I saw the little girl washing clothes by the river chasing the drifting clothes into the water, but unexpectedly, the water was slippery, and she slipped and fell into the water without stepping on it.

In the blink of an eye, people were washed away from the bank by the rushing river amidst screams.

Pei Gong couldn't help frowning.

The one who fell into the water looked familiar, so it was not someone else, but the little girl who came to the mansion yesterday to return the cloak.

From time to time, she was completely submerged into the water, and occasionally she came out of the water and wanted to call for help, but as long as she opened her mouth, water would rush into her mouth from all directions.

The red rope on Shuangya's bun was also washed away and floated on the river, but in the blink of an eye, the little girl was washed away by the current.

There were not a few people on the shore, whispering to each other, but they were all hesitant to move forward.

"What are you looking at, hurry up and save someone, the girl is about to be drowned."

"I...I don't know how to water..."

"You will say, in this late autumn, the Lu River is so cold, who dares to go down?"

……

Human life is at stake, let alone a little girl.

Pei Gong didn't care about any more hesitation, he quickly threw down the knife, pulled off the flying fish suit outside, and jumped straight into the river.

The Lu River water is really cold, no wonder the horses are unwilling to drink it directly.

Even though he is strong and familiar with water skills, in the icy Lu River, he was still so excited that he wanted to scold his mother.

There was only one thought left in Pei Gong's mind.

If he saw Fang Cenxi again, he would definitely scold this bastard bloody.

Why don't you teach your daughter to be careful of the fast-flowing Lu River?

How can I let my daughter wash clothes in such cold water without feeling sorry for her?

How can you tell your daughter to risk her life just to pick up the drifting clothes?

Pei Gong plunged into the water, chasing the current with all his might.

Finally, he grabbed the little girl's arm.

There were screams on the bank one after another, but fortunately Pei Gong was good at swimming and had enough stamina, he was able to fish him out of the Lu River in a short time.

Fortunately, the little girl only choked on a few sips of water. Although she was soaked like a drowned chicken, she was still conscious.

But she was obviously more frightened than choking on water, and even though she had returned to the shore, she was still in a daze.

Although the afternoon light shone on them, Pei Gong let out a sigh of relief, but couldn't help shivering.

He glanced sideways at the jagged river surface, and swore in his heart that he never wanted to swim in the Helu River again in his life.

Not only in this life, but also in the next life.

With a gloomy face, Pei Gong took the little girl back home to change her clothes, and ordered his servants to cook ginger syrup for the little girl to drink.

Taking advantage of this time, he still didn't forget to ask someone to find out Fang Cenxi's residence from Dali Temple.

When the servants in the Duke's Mansion informed him of the exact location of Tianshui Lane, Pei Gong rushed over aggressively.

Pei Gong wanted to find someone to settle the accounts.

In fact, he didn't have to be so angry. After all, no one can take care of the child all the time.

But there were too many old disputes between him and Fang Cenxi, so much that he had to spend some energy even counting them one by one.

Whether it is related to Fang Cenxi's overnight stay in the Xianghai County Yamen Prison, or he was asked to spend money to treat guests to dinner, and told him to work hard to drive wolves to save people on the mountain, or after Fang Cenxi fell unconscious, he carried people down the mountain... …

The most important thing, and what annoyed him the most, was that Fang Cenxi had a wife and daughter behind his back without saying a word to him.

Pei Gong felt that these things couldn't be thought about carefully, and when he thought about it, his mind suddenly hurt, as if he was thrown into the Lu River and was shocked by the cold water again.

The sun is setting slowly, and the alleys are still like ordinary times, but they are a little different.

People passing by all looked at Fang Cenxi's door, where there was a black-faced "Evil Sha".

Although the person is full of noble air, and his appearance is even more handsome and handsome, but the eyes are frightening, and he dare not look any further.

Fang Cenxi returned home from work as usual, and saw Pei Gong leading the little girl standing in front of his door with a gloomy face as if about to collect debts.

Fang Cenxi couldn't help being puzzled: "Third Master, this is..."

His eyes quickly moved to the little girl next to Pei Gong, then squatted down and frowned slightly, and straightened the little girl's broken hair: "Huanhuan? What's the matter? Why is the hair wet?"

Pei Gong stared at him and said sharply: "She's only this big, you let her go to the river to play in the water and wash clothes by herself?"

"The water in the Luhe River is so fast, are you not worried about her accident at all?"

"Fang Cenxi, how can you be a father like you?"

Huanhuan was already startled by falling into the water, but now that Pei Gong spoke so harshly, she was so frightened that she was startled, and finally burst into tears with a "wow".

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, don't be afraid, Huanhuan don't cry." Fang Cenxi was not very moved, but as usual, gently helped Huanhuan wipe away her tears, and helped her re-tie her pigtails, "Why is the third master?" With you? Tell me slowly."

Huanhuan was sobbing and unable to utter a complete sentence, but at this time it was obvious that she had seen a relative, and she subconsciously leaned towards Fang Cenxi's side.

She stopped crying, and then whispered as if she had made a mistake: "I lost... I lost the clothes my mother asked me to wash."

"I didn't look at it when I washed the clothes, and the clothes floated away with the water."

Pei Gong glanced at Fang Cenxi, feeling unhappy.

When Fang Cenxi heard this, he immediately understood the matter.

He couldn't help frowning his pretty brows slightly, and put his hand on Huanhuan's shoulder: "So, you go down to the river to pick up clothes by yourself?"

Huanhuan sobbed and said, "I didn't know the water was so slippery. Once I fell, I couldn't get up again."

Huanhuan probably found a familiar sense of security around Fang Cenxi, so she went straight to the chatterbox: "If you lose your clothes, mother will be sad."

"Only Brother Xiao Fang, you are willing to give us five cents to wash one piece. Others only give mother two cents. I lost the clothes, and my mother has to wash many clothes to pay for it."

"I, I don't know what to do..."

Pei Gong's expression froze.

What did he just hear?Brother Xiaofang?

This little girl calls Fang Cenxi her brother?

Before Pei Gong could react further, another woman who looked like a woman hurriedly ran over from the corner of the alley, hurriedly took the little girl into her arms: "Huanhuan, Huanhuan..."

"Are you okay? Are you trying to scare my mother to death?"

Seeing Fang Cenxi and Pei Gong, the woman fell to her knees with a "plop", tears streaming from her eyes, she was almost choked up and couldn't speak: "Lord Xiao Fang, people say that Huanhuan fell into the river, I... ...I can't, I can't live without Huanhuan."

"If there is something good or bad for Huanhuan, so do I, I can't live anymore."

The corners of Pei Gong's eyes twitched, and the expression on his face that seemed to be asking for guilt disappeared immediately.

Even though he has always been clueless, he can definitely tell at this moment that this is not Fang Cenxi's wife and daughter at all.

As for the cloak, Fang Cenxi obviously paid for them to help clean it.

Pei Gong had no choice but to squash his mouth, thinking of the misunderstanding just now, he wished for a moment that there would be a crack in the ground under his feet, and he could just sneak in and finish the calculation.

Fang Cenxi was still talking to the woman.

Pei Gong sneaked a glance at Fang Cenxi from the corner of his eye, and seeing his sideways eyes, he quickly turned his face away and rubbed his forehead.

He didn't know what happened, he just felt that he was inexplicably sucking in a breath of cold air.

In Pei Gong's mind, the cloak that was taken away in Xianghai, the meal money that was stolen...

Even if he didn't look at Cen Xi above him at this moment, he was still suffering from a guilty conscience.

After such a short effort, Fang Cenxi gave him a sudden look.

The four eyes met, and the surroundings seemed to have calmed down.

Pei Gong suddenly realized that Fang Cenxi's gaze could speak.

He smiled and said, "You're done."
