I'm afraid you'll be widowed

Zhou Xing took advantage of the moonlight to carefully size up the person in front of him.

For a moment, he only felt that the young man standing in front of him looked handsome and fierce, but standing under the faint moonlight, his eyes were still sharp and hard to ignore.

Majesty and unruliness formed a wonderful combination in this young man, and they reached a harmonious balance in a short time.

More importantly, the people in front of him were not like those in the Baodi Government Office, who were full of false flattery and scheming.

He is not only serious, but also frivolous, with a kind of contempt and arrogance that seems to be born with him.

In a hurry, Zhou Xing picked up the tooth card in his hand and looked at it carefully.

The tooth plate is made of the best tooth material. It is officially written as the post of Qianhu in Fusi, North Town of Jinyiwei, and the word Pei Gong is endorsed.

The Pei Qianhu in front of him is only in his early twenties, and others are still running errands in the yamen, but he has already become a fifth-rank official of Qianhu, which is fully higher than Wei Bin, the general judge of Baodifu City. one rank.

Zhou Xing couldn't help but "click" in his heart, and cast his suspicious eyes on Pei Gong again.

Seeing that Zhou Xing didn't say anything for a while, Pei Gong guessed Zhou Xing's mood a little bit, so he was not in a hurry, but instead smiled to himself.

"If you think I don't look like a fake, then do you think it is difficult for Baodi Mansion to find someone who looks like a high-ranking official?"

"Since I want to lie to you, why bother to find someone who can make you suspicious?"

When Zhou Xing heard this, he felt that it was reasonable, and he believed it five or six points at once, so he said calmly: "You are from the middle of the capital? This Biezhuang is heavily guarded, how did Pei Qianhu get in?"

Pei Gong twitched the corners of his mouth, he simply didn't see anyone coming forward, he sat directly opposite Zhou Xing and laid the knife on the table.

"The mountain man has his own plan."

"Okay, don't inquire about me anymore. Since Mr. Zhou also knows that I have sneaked into this village, he should know that Pei's time is precious."

He rubbed his fingers a few more times: "You should know that the longer you are detained here, the longer your wife Ye and children will be in danger. They searched for your traces everywhere, and even sued Shuntian City once."

"Although you can save your life because of your craftsmanship, Fan Tian and them may not spare your family."

When Zhou Xing heard this, countless waves of anger suddenly appeared on his calm face.

His powerless fist finally landed on the table: "These people are a bunch of brutes without conscience."

"Our Zhou family's dyeing and dyeing skills are inherited from our ancestors. Originally, we only opened a dyeing workshop at the entrance of Mao'er Lane in Baodi Prefecture to support our family."

"It's just that since last year, people have hired me frequently with a lot of money to mix vermilion dye. I went there once or twice at first, but the correct color cinnabar is extremely difficult to mix, and the things are even more precious. They don't spend money to find ready-made cinnabar. But every time I spent more than the market price of gold and silver to ask someone to adjust it, I already felt that something was wrong."

"Later when they invited me again, I started to shirk it. I didn't think this was the beginning of bad luck, and they had already set their sights on me."

"People from Baoxing Bank cheated, not only forced the Zhou family's dyeing workshop to have no more business, but even ruined the Zhou family's reputation. As a result, no one in the cloth shop in Baodifu City asked me to dye cloth again."

Pei Gong couldn't help frowning.

He had seen the tragedy of the dyeing workshop in Mao'er Alley with his own eyes.

Although Zhou Xing's family can't be regarded as rich and powerful, at least they should have lived a happy life without worrying about food and drink.

It is really embarrassing that such a disaster has caused the family to be destroyed.

The reason is that Baoxing Yinhao colluded with Mu Zhengtong, Wei Bin and others, forcing the Zhou family to suffer unprovoked disasters.

Pei Gong listened quietly for a long time, and couldn't help but asked softly: "Since Mr. Zhou has such extraordinary dyeing skills, why don't you leave Baodi and go to Beijing to find another world?"

Zhou Xing heard the words, but couldn't help but sigh softly: "Why don't I want to?"

"It's just that my Zhou family has lived in Baodi for generations, and the ancestral tombs are all here. I have an eighty-year-old mother, a wife and children, and owed a lot of foreign debts when the dyeing workshop was broken. If I leave my family and leave alone, I'm afraid Our Zhou family’s ancestral graves are about to be dug up.”

"In this way, I asked them to mix the vermilion dye. They first asked me to travel around to collect bank notes from Baoxing Bank in various places. Perhaps because I heard some strange words in the Baoxing Bank in Beijing, they So he took me to this other village completely, and never allowed me to go out again."

Pei Gong was puzzled: "The Baoxing ship died unexpectedly after the shopkeeper in Shuntian met you. Is it because of what you heard?"

Zhou Xing briefly recalled: "I didn't quite understand it, but I remember it clearly."

"They said, 'It doesn't matter if the letter falls into Linyuan's hands, as long as he makes an appointment with his boss, it will be settled'."

Seeing that Pei Gong was silent, Zhou Xing continued: "It wasn't until later that I finally figured out that this Baoxing bank had the only mimeograph red badge in the world, and the person who could make the mimeograph passed away unexpectedly. , They looked everywhere for craftsmen who could adjust the vermilion, in order to adjust the vermilion mimeograph for them.”

Pei Gong frowned coercively, and couldn't help but recall the two bank notes he saw when he first arrived in Baodi.

Up to now, Pei Gong has already made some distinctions in his heart.

It can be said that Baoxing Bank is covering the sky with one hand.

Counterfeit bills are not only rampant in Beijing, but they can also be said to be prevalent in Baodi here.

If the counterfeit ticket really came from those people Fan Tianhe called, then with Fan Tianhe's skill, he should have sent the person out to see the official, why did he drag Jin Yiwei here to the Baodi?

What's more, the mimeograph of the counterfeit banknote is really fake. The mimeograph and ticket plate of Baoxing Bank are the only ones in the world. Who can imitate their secrets so closely?

There is probably only one conclusion -

Those real banknotes and fake banknotes are all made by the same craftsmen.

Pei Gong couldn't help raising his eyebrows and looked at Zhou Xing: "I'm afraid there is more than one kind of mimeograph that Baoxing Bank asked you to make?"

Zhou Xing nodded quickly when he heard the words: "What Pei Qianhu said is exactly."

"In the beginning, I was just asking me to figure out how to prepare the pure vermilion, which is opaque to the light."

"But after I made it, they asked me to make a similar red oil mud, but different from the previous ones, this time it was light and transparent. I asked them why, and they didn't elaborate."

"A few years ago, they forced me to adjust the third type of oil sludge, which was the most difficult color I have ever encountered in my life. The third type of oil sludge will change color when exposed to light."

"Even if I, Zhou Xing, are just a commoner, I've heard of it. I've heard it before that only ink pads used by Ouchi can change color. If ordinary people make this thing at will, isn't it a capital offense?"

Pei Gong suddenly froze as if remembering something: "You mean, oily sludge that changes color?"

"Exactly. They transferred it before and showed me how it looks."

"The oily mud is red and glowing vermilion when you look at it from the front, it turns purple when you look at it sideways, and it turns silver when it meets the light. You can tell it's extraordinary when you see it."

Pei Gong's index finger couldn't help tapping on his forehead.

The Pei family is one family, from father to elder brother, everyone joins the army to defend the border.

Others don't know much about it, but he can't know it better.

He could tell the difference just by hearing it.The color that will change is not used by Ouchi, but by the mimeograph seals used by the border military secrets in the nine border towns under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of War.

The management of the military newspaper is strict, and it is even more important to seal it to ensure that the military newspaper is not opened during delivery.

From the paper to the envelope to the seal of a confidential letter, it is by no means easily seen by the public, and counterfeiting is strictly prohibited.

"Until that time, I finally knew the seriousness of the matter, so I wanted to escape again and again. But this villa is tightly guarded, and I was caught again and again. In the end, they didn't want to spend any more time guarding me, so they simply broke my legs. I'm stuck here."

"I had no choice but to make a fourth type of clay, which is still pure vermilion, but it will gradually become translucent with time."

"I knew that as long as counterfeit bills flooded, someone would find out about them. They have done all kinds of bad things, and as long as they can be caught a little bit, they will be able to follow the vine."

Hearing this, Pei Gong frowned slightly involuntarily.

Fan Tianhe dared to privately control the stamped sludge of the frontier army, which was considered a capital crime.

Not to mention that he produced and sold counterfeit banknotes, which caused confusion in the merchants' markets all over the place. He also colluded with Mu Zhengtong and Wei Bin of the Baodi government office, causing Zhou Xing's family to be destroyed.

The crimes involved are too numerous to describe.

Pei Gong thought for a while, following the principle of "thieves don't leave empty space", he hurriedly asked again: "Mr. Zhou, do you know what kind of activities are going on in this village?"

"Now I'm afraid I can't save my husband easily, so please ask Yuan You. Only by finding the evidence as soon as possible can we eradicate the future troubles in one fell swoop and completely destroy the shady business in this other village."

"I understand that they still want to use me now, and I'm not afraid of my life."

"It's just my relatives... please take care of me."

Zhou Xing knew everything and told Pei Gong countless things about Baoxing Bank in detail.

When Pei Gong pulled away and wanted to leave, the sky was already pale.

There are so many bad things hidden in the big village.

The subordinates had been waiting for Pei Gong in the forest for a long time, seeing Pei Gong strolling back thoughtfully, everyone began to surround him.

"Pei Qianhu, why did you delay for so long?"

"We are all worried that you will encounter trouble in this village, and say that if you don't come out, you will break in."

Pei Gong slightly bent the corners of his lips: "Not only can't break into it, but we should also keep an eye on this village."

"This place is the lifeblood of Fan Tianhe, and it is also the source of those fake tickets."

Several guards in Jinyi were shocked when they heard the words, and they clicked their tongues: "What? Are all the counterfeit tickets here?"

"Is this counterfeit ticket printed by Fan Tian and himself? What is he trying to do?"

"I don't know what the picture is." Pei Gongxin took the rein of the horse, "But if something goes wrong, there must be a monster. Fan Tianhe is so scheming, it's definitely not a good thing."

"Baodi is a strange place, everyone should be careful, so as not to cause any trouble."

After all, Fang Cenxi on the other side had ruined the schemes of these gangsters by tracking down Zhou Xing's whereabouts.

It can already be regarded as a lesson for the past.

This group is ruthless and deeply rooted in Baodi, and they are by no means as easy to deal with as Yu Zirong from Xianghai and Li Sibo from Wucun.

When Fang Cenxi was involved in his thoughts, Pei Gong couldn't help feeling a little worried.

It had been a whole day and night since they left Baodi, although he had told someone to take care of the other side, but after all it was better to take care of him himself.

Pei Gong got on his horse and told his subordinates: "Go back to the city first, the epidemic in Baodi Mansion can't be delayed."

"It's not an epidemic this time. You should go back and find out about it earlier. Unlocking the ban on Nancheng is the most important thing to restore people's livelihood."

The subordinates took orders, leaving only two small flag officers to monitor the other village, and the others followed Pei Gong back to the city.

Pei Gong left the city for a day and did not return.

Just as the group of them descended the mountain, a heavy snow fell silently on Baodifu City.

The snowflakes as big as a mat were sticky and fluttering, and the white snow covered the whole city in no time.

When approaching the city gate, the snow was getting thicker and thicker.Even the well-trained horses in Jinyiwei will inevitably slip at this time.

Seeing this situation, a group of Jin Yiwei simply led the horse and walked slowly.

Pei Gong's pace gradually slowed down, and he couldn't help thinking over and over again what Zhou Xing said last night.

The case at the moment is complex and interrelated.

What's more, there will be affairs involving the dignitaries in Beijing, if there is a rare chance, it will be lost forever, Pei Gong naturally knows the power of it.

The more thoroughly he thinks about it, the sooner he can discover the clues of the abnormality.

Zhou Xing's words were sincere last night, and his words could stand scrutiny.

After talking for a while, it seems that Fan Tianhe has been frank and honest about making fake bank notes.

But Zhou Xing knew so many inside details, he was a crucial witness in this case.

Why did Fang Cenxi give Zhou Xing's whereabouts to him so easily?

Previously Fang Cenxi was clearly put on the case of the military bandit in the Xuan Mansion by the Thirteenth Division, why did he suddenly come to Baodi Mansion now?

He even asked Fang Cenxi to help investigate the matter of his second brother before, and what Fang Cenxi said to him was actually the truth.

And what Zhou Xing said.

"If Linyuan makes a errand..."

Earlier Liang Guogong guessed that the Thirteenth Division did not find the letter, but Fang Cenxi was by his side every day, if he really wanted to take the letter to a job, why didn't he ask him about the letter at all?

Pei Gong had a vague feeling that Fang Cenxi was helping him.

Otherwise, according to Fang Cenxi's temperament, Xianghai should use him to push Liang Guogong's mansion to the end.

The more Pei Gong thought about it, the more he felt that these things were different from his impression.

Thousands of thoughts immediately entangled Pei Gong tightly.

He couldn't help but start to think. At the beginning, both of them were traitors who went to arrest Xuanfuwei. Their first meeting was really full of conflicts.

There were obviously only two groups of them there, and if the letter did not fall into Fang Cenxi's hands, where else could he go?

Could it be that someone really hid this thing.

Pei Gong even began to wonder whether he had misunderstood Fang Cenxi, whether he had wrongly blamed him as a villain who didn't know right from wrong and did anything by hook or by crook.

Thinking of this, he immediately thought of the small seal that Fang Cenxi gave him earlier.

Fang Cenxi lives a frugal life, obviously he can't give gifts, and he seldom gives anything to others.

But when he gave him the small seal, he asked him repeatedly to keep the things away.

According to Pei Gong's current understanding of Fang Cenxi, Fang Cenxi is by no means the kind of person who gives small favors to others and just keeps talking about one thing over and over again.

Looking back on this incident, it was really abnormal, and considering Fang Cenxi's previous position, Pei Gong became even more suspicious.

Fortunately, he kept his grudge against Cen Xi.

But he always carried this small seal with him.

Pei Gong took his subordinates back to the place where he stayed, and hurriedly went to find Fang Xiaoyin.

He took out the small seal and looked it over carefully.

This seal is carved out of a whole block of stone, except for the elegant engraving, there is no clue at first glance.

After a while, Pei Gong's hundreds of households knocked on the door and came in.

He dragged a cup of ginseng soup: "It's really cold today, Qianhu drinks some hot ginseng soup to keep warm."

"Have a drink and take a rest, we can continue to investigate tomorrow."

Pei Gong looked at the visitor for a moment, then asked again: "I left Sun Xiaoqi to do some other things in Baodi City, can he go back to his room?"

"To Qianhu, I haven't yet. I think it's because of the sudden heavy snow today and the difficulty of traveling, so this delay."

Pei Gong frowned, and let Baihu go back to the house to rest.

Then he continued to think about his little seal.

There is really nothing strange about this seal, so Pei Gong changed the box containing the small seal to look at it.

The brocade box was not unusual, but after careful inspection, Pei Gongguo saw that there was something unusual about the box.

There are interlayers in this brocade box, and it is sealed extremely secretively.

After opening the interlayer, you can see the letter hidden inside.

The oiled paper seal and the red stamp of Xuanfu Weihong are obviously the secrets of the frontier army.

Pei Gong stared blankly at the letter in the interlayer of the brocade box, only feeling that something severely wounded his heart.

He immediately came back to his senses, and opened the envelope neatly, only to realize that it was written in Pei Ying's tone to communicate with the Tatars, and it was indeed in the handwriting of his second brother Pei Ying.

But this letter was not in the possession of the guard of the Xuanfu, nor was it in the hands of the inner guard. This letter, which the Duke of Liang's mansion and many people tried their best to find, was sealed in the small seal box Fang Cenxi gave him.

Confusion and surprise crept into Pei Gong's eyes immediately.

He suddenly remembered those fragments of the past, and suddenly he was completely connected by these things.

All doubts are completely solved at this moment.

Fang Cenxi really never planned to harm Liang Guogong's mansion from the very beginning, let alone believed that Pei Ying would cooperate with the enemy.He knew that if this letter got out, it would definitely bring disaster to Liang Guogong's mansion, so he secretly sent this letter into Liang Guogong's mansion.

Pei Gong felt that his mind was completely messed up.

But what has he been doing these days?

He didn't listen to Fang Cenxi's explanation, strangled Fang Cenxi's neck, and made things difficult for Fang Cenxi everywhere.

Pei Gong was a little annoyed, but when he raised his hand, he knocked down the ginseng soup on the table.

The ginseng soup was poured straight down, soaking most of the letter with one brain.

Pei Gong was about to frown, but saw that the letter paper was soaked in the ginseng soup and gradually scattered.

The lines of characters, like clouds blown away by the wind, suddenly scattered into one block after another, completely disrupted.

It wasn't until this moment that Pei Gong suddenly realized.

This letter is obviously made of the second brother's notes after they were cut out and then re-pasted and pasted.

From the very beginning, someone made a big game to frame Liang Guogong's mansion.

Pei Gong couldn't help being startled.

The traitors in the Xuanfu Guard entered Beijing with such a fake letter of confidentiality, in order not to meet anyone at all.

The purpose of these people is to shake out the letter completely, so that everyone in the capital will know that Pei Ying, the chief soldier of Xuanfu, is collaborating with the enemy and rebelling.

What's more, in that fierce battle, the [-] troops on the outer road were wiped out, and only his second brother survived.

To be alive is the biggest mistake, and to be alive is to deserve this stigma.

Just because his second brother didn't die, it became a natural disadvantage of the Pei family.

If Fang Cenxi hadn't hid the letter in his hands, the Liang Guogong's mansion would have already been destroyed.

Now thinking of all the previous things, it is undoubtedly walking on the edge of a cliff, Pei Gong can't help feeling afraid.

He thought, he had probably figured it out, he would not let his second brother's name be tarnished by others.

Debts owed in blood should always be paid in blood.

But what he owed was also like a sharp awl, deeply pierced in the bottom of his heart.

Pei Gong let out a long sigh of relief.

The world is so complicated, after all, it is his fault first.

He has always regarded the inner guards who have framed Duke Liang's mansion several times as villains.

In his eyes, the inner guards are all shameless people who don't dare to show their true colors to others, dare not act openly, no matter how powerful they are, they are nothing but a group of secretly scheming Xiaoxiao.

Therefore, no matter what the leader or the co-leader is, it is definitely not a fun thing in his heart.

Since Fang Cenxi joined the thirteen divisions, he has put the name of the villain on Fang Cenxi without hesitation.

But it happened to be this "villain" who saved the lives of Pei's family and gave him the possibility to return his second brother's name.

Pei Gong thought he deserved to die thousands of times.

He obviously would rather die by himself than have the slightest fear for the people he cares about.

But he was the one who kicked Fang Cenxi with the scabbard, he was the one who kicked Fang Cenxi against the wall, and he was the one who almost killed Fang Cenxi.

God must be punishing him to let him fall into Fang Cenxi's hands early and make him care about Fang Cenxi for the rest of his life.

Pei Gong wished he could turn back time and time, and immediately go back to that night when he went to Tianshui Lane.

How could he allow himself to strangle Fang Cenxi's neck unscrupulously, and hurt Fang Cenxi time and time again?

Pei Gong's hands curled up tighter and tighter, even turning white.

He has long been overwhelmed by remorse, and now he doesn't dare to think about what the consequences would be if the strength in his hand was a little bit heavier.

At this time, Pei Gong, even though he had been running around all day, was still sleepless.

He put away the wet letter by himself, and didn't plan to wait for anyone to come back.

It was still snowing heavily outside, but he reached out with a knife and was about to go out.When he came to the door, he turned back as if he remembered something, and picked up the gray fox fur cloak from before.

However, this delay was met by someone at the door.

The hundreds of households who accompanied them went back and forth, bowed their hands to Pei Gong and said, "Thousands of households, just now the government sent someone to leave a message."

"It is said that the epidemic in Nancheng has been properly controlled, but now it has been lifted."

Pei Gong couldn't help raising his eyebrows suspiciously: "Withdraw? Is it really so fast?"

The Baihu officer said again: "It is said that the few who have not yet recovered will be taken to the village on the mountainside of Anma outside the south city and resettled."

"There are few people in that place, and it is not easy to have any accidents."

The corner of Pei Gong's eyes twitched, and suddenly he felt an ominous premonition welling up in his heart.

Seeing Pei Gong's appearance, the hundred household officials hurriedly asked, "Where is Pei Qianhu going?"

Pei Gong glanced at him, but said with words like gold: "Pay off the debt."

After saying that, he faced the snowstorm and disappeared into the white world without hesitation.

--------

The snow on the mountain is also falling endlessly.

In the dilapidated mountainside village, even if the door is closed tightly, you can still feel the wind blowing hard into the house.

Fang Cenxi felt that his body was freezing cold, but he couldn't avoid it.

A rough hemp rope was looped and hung around his neck.The rope completely tied him to the pillars in the house.

This is the usual method of tying people in the Thirteenth Division, and Fang Cenxi also used it in the past.

As long as the tied person lowers his head, or struggles to pull slightly, the rope will tighten, compressing the panting throat.

Fang Cenxi is well versed in this, not to mention he has no strength, so he simply stopped struggling.

But even though it was such a critical moment, there was no trace of fear on his face, he just smiled at Zeng Zhe coldly.

Zeng Zhe met Fang Cenxi's contemptuous eyes, and couldn't help frowning: "What are you laughing at?"

Fang Cenxi took a few breaths: "Of course I'm laughing at your imminent death."

"You are still waiting for someone else to kill me, why on earth does the Thirteenth Division have someone as stupid as you?"

"Death is imminent?" Zeng Zhe sneered, "I think it's better for you to speak more boldly?"

"How capable are you? Are you still acting noble in front of me?"

Even though Fang Cenxi was already extremely weak, he still couldn't help laughing tremblingly.

"Human beings know about etiquette, righteousness, integrity and shame, and read the books of sages, so they are different from animals."

"In front of beasts, what else do people need to be upright?"

When Zeng Zhe heard the words, he immediately reflected the implication.

He stepped forward and kicked Fang Cenxi's chest fiercely: "You are really not afraid of death."

That kick was really not light, Fang Cenxi shook suddenly, the rope around his neck was tightened immediately, pulling Fang Cenxi's head up to lean against the pillar behind him.

There was blood on the corner of his lips, but he still smiled contemptuously at Zeng Zhe.

"What? Fang made a mistake?"

"You and Qian Xingtong had an affair with the Tatars, betrayed the guards of the Xuan Mansion, and caused the death of [-] soldiers of the Xuan Mansion. Not only that, but you also forged military letters, and unjustly accused Pei Ying, the chief soldier of the Xuan Mansion, of collaborating with the enemy."

"Selling out your compatriots, disregarding human life, is this something that humans can do?"

The corner of Zeng Zhe's eyes twitched, and he couldn't help but froze: "You...how did you...have seen that letter?"

But he quickly convinced himself again: "No, it's impossible. I clearly didn't find the letter in your residence. If you really hid the letter, how could you have been expelled from the banner officer of the Jinyiwei before?" Deceive it under your hand."

Fang Cenxi struggled to hold the corner of his mouth and chuckled: "Zeng Zhe, you don't really think that you are lucky enough to live to this day, do you?"

"Since you have done all the bad things you did with Qian Xingtong, are you afraid that others will find out?"

Zeng Zhe hesitated for a moment, but soon regained his composure: "So what if you know everything about it?"

"It's too late, now that you can't get out of the Baodi Mansion, Lingzhu and the people in Liang Guogong's mansion won't know about it."

"You were the one who robbed Pei San of the traitor back then. Others from the Thirteenth Division would only think that you killed the internal guard spy in the Xuanfu Guard. You know the ins and outs of this, and you once betrayed Thirteen by stealing the military case Si, who else is more suitable than you to frame Liang Guogong's mansion?"

Fang Cenxi was not intimidated by the rhetoric that turned black and white.

He seemed to be extremely tired, so he slowly lowered his eyes, and just moved his bloodless thin lips lightly: "Even if you kill me now, that letter is still in this world. As long as that letter is there, it is enough Let you be completely ruined."

"You will never find that letter in your life."

"Just wait, wait, wait to use your dirty blood and dead life to pay homage to the [-] Frontier Army, and to wash away the stigma you have stained others."

Zeng Zhe frowned, but quickly said: "So what if the letter appears? Since you have seen it, you should know that it is Pei Ying's criminal evidence and handwriting."

"The letter is exactly the same as Xuanfuwei from the paper cover to the postmark, not to mention that the ligatures were written by Pei Ying himself. Now that Pei Ying is dead and there is no proof, who can prove that it is not a letter from him fornicating the Tatars?"

Fang Cenxi was calm, but the smile on his lips did not diminish.

"The real one can't be fake, the fake one can't be real, you can accept the bribe and status now with peace of mind."

"Take the hotbed of other people's dry bones, and it will collapse in an instant. Sooner or later, you will be nothing more than a pile of dry bones."

Zeng Zhe sneered indifferently: "Shoufu's disciples are all over the court, and they are intricate. You are the son of a traitor and have no roots. Who will believe your words?"

"Just by yourself, do you want to fight us beyond your limits? You will die sooner or later."

"Even if you die, you will be reviled by thousands of people, and you will be nailed to the pillar of shame, and you will never be able to live again."

Fang Cenxi's expression was indifferent, and he never asked for mercy.

At the end, he curled the corners of his lips and let out a sinister smile.

"I'm about to go down to the eighteenth floor of hell. Even if I die, I must be the most evil ghost in the world."

"From then on, I will pester you and Qian Xingtong, and I will pester you until the day you die."

Zeng Zhe really couldn't tolerate Cen Xi saying one more word.

Then he kicked Fang Cenxi two or three times hard at Fang Cenxi who was tied to the pillar.

This really kicked half of Fang Cenxi's soul away.

The blood swelled in his mouth all of a sudden, he was still panting for a while, and he was basically no different from a dead person.

Zeng Zhe finally felt that this person was more pleasing to the eye.

He couldn't help but glance at it teasingly, and sat down by himself.

About half a cup of tea later, the door didn't know whether it was blown open by the wind or kicked open suddenly.

The terrible silence was completely broken by the third person, and a gust of wind and snow blew into the house without warning.

Zeng Zhe squinted his eyes, and then raised his eyes to see the person coming: "Pei Gong?"

"You found it quickly."

Pei Gong didn't say a word, just striding into the house covered in wind and snow.

Then Zeng Zhe glanced at Fang Cenxi and said: "Pei Qianhu was watching him earlier, I wonder if there is some discord between the two of you?"

Pei Gong turned his eyes to Zeng Zhe.

Although Zeng Zhe in front of him was still wearing the inner guard's outfit, Pei Gong was so familiar with him that he could recognize him even without looking at his face.

Therefore, Pei Gong just said coldly: "What does it have to do with you?"

"You Thirteenth Division really followed Baodi, a bunch of dog skin plasters."

Zeng Zhe chuckled: "The other things are really irrelevant, but this one is inseparable."

"What a coincidence. I came to execute the traitor for the Thirteenth Division. The government found this Fang in the abandoned house in Nancheng yesterday afternoon."

"Look, what a good thing this is?"

As he spoke, he casually threw an object into Pei Gong's hands.

Pei Gong stared at it, it was Fang Cenxi's inner guard badge.

One side is engraved with the word "Xieling", and the other side is engraved with "Linyuan".

Zeng Zhe couldn't help but sneered and said, "Pei Qianhu, do you know who he is?"

"Do you know that the culprit who snatched the Xuanfuwei traitor from you back then is right in front of you now?"

"Do you know that Fang Cenxi was the one sent by the Thirteenth Division to put your Pei family to death?"

Pei Gong lowered his eyes, and the eyelids covered his emotions.

Zeng Zhe couldn't see Pei Gong's emotions clearly, so he just thought he was too surprised and forgot to show any expression.

Thinking of this, Zeng Zhe said to Pei Gong mercifully, "His brand is in your hand."

"Think about the tragic death of Mr. Pei, and the [-] troops of Xuanfu Weiwai Road who died in vain. Who is it all thanks to?"

"He is the one who deserves to die, and now he will get the disease, isn't it just retribution?"

"You still saved him? Pei Qianhu, do you know that you have been tricked?"

Pei Gong didn't say a word, just took two steps forward, with his thumb lightly holding the saber out, and the scabbard was exposed in a blink of an eye as he drew the blade.

A "buzz" sound suddenly resounded all around, Pei Gong's Yanling Saber was completely out of its sheath, the cold light from the tip of the saber dazzled, and in an instant, a gleam of light flashed across Fang Cenxi's face.

Seeing the movement in front of him, Zeng Zhe couldn't help curling the corners of his lips in satisfaction.

He remembered that Pei Gong of Duke Liang's mansion had always been reckless.

Although it took some effort now, if Pei Gong were to kill Fang Cenxi himself, it would undoubtedly be to let Liang Guogong's mansion and the Thirteenth Division completely tear their skins apart.

This is much more useful than Fang Cenxi dying quietly in an unknown corner.

Zeng Zhe said calmly: "Now this Fang is going to die anyway."

"I'm just giving Pei Qianhu a favor, and I want to ask Pei Qianhu to remember me."

But before the words fell, Pei Gong suddenly sneered.

"As expected of the Thirteenth Division, this favor is very fresh."

"Since the co-leader is so sincere, Pei must appreciate it."

Zeng Zhe made a "please" gesture: "Pei Qianhu, don't worry, there won't be a third living person who knows what happened today."

Pei Gong nodded as if agreeing, then turned to look at Zeng Zhe.

"Hey, Master Xie Ling, come here, get closer to me." He squinted his eyes, and lightly hooked his fingers at Zeng Zhe, "Yes, come here and turn this way."

Zeng Zhe was baffled by Pei Gong's inexplicable request, so he couldn't help asking: "Pei Qianhu is a dignified fifth grade, so it's possible that he hasn't killed anyone before? Are you mad now?"

Before Pei Gong finished his sentence, he turned the blade calmly.

Almost without any further reaction, the Yanling Saber sank straight into Zeng Zhe's stomach.

Zeng Zhe was extremely surprised, "How dare you?" were written in large characters in his dilated pupils.

Pei Gong didn't take it seriously.

He unhurriedly glanced at Fang Cenxi, then said to Zeng Zhe as if making jokes, "Tell you to come here."

"He's almost out of breath, how can he move? You splashed blood on him, it's hard to wash it off."

"If he ruins all his clothes later, he will still nag me."
