Chapter 360 Who are you?
Sanxiao was just led by the servants of Xie family. He said a few words to Wanniang to let her stay and collect the debt without worry. Then he cleverly avoided the noisy hall and left Xie family early.
When Xiao Yining walked out, he looked at the soldiers and the onlookers at the gate of the Xie family. As expected, after this incident, even if the Xie family saved Xie Wan Ning, the reputation of the Xie family's daughter in the capital was completely ruined.
This day was destined to be one of the few darkest moments for the Xie family.
The little girl sighed like a little adult. She was clearly in the center of the melon field, but she could only look at the melons and sigh, as she couldn't eat any of the meat.
Then, she thought of another person, and quickly looked at the calm 13 and asked, "Sister Ah San, you left in a hurry just now. Did you go to teach Prince Su a lesson?"
13 A trace of barely perceptible embarrassment flashed across her pretty face, but she said nothing.
Pei Yi glanced at her with a hint of sarcasm, and then said to the little kid, "Qing Jie'er, Sister San is the emperor's shadow guard, and has a heavy responsibility. How could she possibly seek revenge for a personal grudge? Just now, Lord Chen came back from searching the Xie family, and he didn't mention a word about Prince Su. I guess he's already left."
These teasing words made 13 Liangliang glance at him. She replied casually, "I crippled this man's hand."
The two kids looked at each other and smiled, obviously quite satisfied with this answer.
At this time, Pei Yi also said to the little kid, "Qing Jie'er, although Second Miss Xie escaped the blame for hurting you, after she hit the wall to save you, she suddenly went crazy and screamed with her head in her hands. The imperial physician examined her and said that she was in good health and there was nothing wrong with her."
"This person deliberately misbehaved in front of the emperor. The emperor will definitely punish her."
Xiao Yining couldn't help being surprised when she heard this. Although she had only had brief contact with Xie Wan Ning, she could tell that this person was not the kind of person who would dig his own grave.
The little boy felt a strange feeling in his heart, and when he met the doting look of his fellow villager, he suddenly had an epiphany.
A breeze arose, gently brushing the baby's face. The comfortable coolness made her eyes curl up. She let out a pleasant "hmm" and reached out for a hug.
Just at this moment, Ada drove the carriage steadily and stopped behind the two little ones.
Pei Yi looked at this clingy little kid, shook his head helplessly, and carried her to the car, muttering, "I don't know what Dad was thinking. He took my wheelchair away, making me unable to sit in a wheelchair for the entire holiday, and suffering every day."
Xiao Yining: This must be the order from my uncle.
13: You deserve it…
The crisp sound of horse hooves rang out, accompanied by the relaxed laughter of children, and gradually disappeared into the noisy streets.
But after a moment, hurried footsteps were heard at the side door of the Xie family again.
Chen Pi panted and looked at the door, his face full of anxiety. He quickly grabbed the nearest official and asked, "When did Miss Lin leave?"
The official was confused by the question, "Sir Chen, I don't know any Miss Lin!"
"Did anyone leave just now?" Chen Pi asked again through gritted teeth.
"Just now, two families of children left with the emperor's token." The official replied truthfully.
Tangerine peel: ...
He stared at the busy street for a long time, and finally said dejectedly, "It's fate. I can't even find a chance to talk to Miss Lin alone."
Official: ...
Miss Lin?
Who?
Could it be the tall maid just now?
Then, Chenpi sighed desolately to the sky amid the strange and ambiguous looks of the officials around him.
Just then, a horse came galloping from a distance, causing passers-by to be terrified. They screamed and fled in all directions, fearing that they would be hit by the horse.
Chen Pi couldn't help but frown when he heard the noise. He looked sharply at the street, and then his face changed slightly.
As the horse approached the Xie family, it suddenly raised its front hooves and let out a shrill neigh.
The man on the horse jumped off the horse neatly, walked quickly to Chen Pi, and asked anxiously, "Is the emperor in there? General Chen Du from the North City sent an urgent memorial!"
……
In a teahouse in the north city.
Lin Yuzan stood by the window with a grim face, his hands on the window frame, overlooking the street below.
At this time, horse-drawn carriages loaded with food and supplies were slowly passing through the streets. The sound of rolling wheels echoed in the air, accompanied by bursts of loud shouts.
"Pei Dafu's son Pei Yi donated 10 taels of silver to reward the soldiers in North City." The leader shouted.
"Pei Dafu's son Pei Yi donated 100,000 taels of silver to reward the soldiers of North City!"
"..."
The soldiers escorting food and money at the back also shouted in unison. Their voices were uniform and loud, ensuring that everyone around could hear it.
This tactic was very effective. As soon as the food and wages arrived at the gate of North City and were handed over, everyone in North City knew Pei Yi's name.
Wang Cheng tried hard to hold back his laughter, stood next to his old rival, patted his shoulder, and teased, "Pei Yi is a capable guy. He can even come up with 100,000 taels. It seems that our worries are unnecessary. Our family is living quite well in Yanjing."
Lin Yuzan glared at him unhappily, knowing full well that this was Pei Yi's revenge against him.
This guy eats his food and uses his things, but he still throws a hundred thousand taels in his face. It's so hateful.
He pushed Wang Cheng away angrily, causing the latter to stagger back to his seat, shaking his head speechlessly and laughing out loud.
Lin Yuzan was so angry that he almost bit his teeth. "I will definitely teach this brat a lesson when I get back. You still have the mood to laugh? Pei Yi is very capable, and we both know him very well. He must have been in a big trouble to take out this money. Maybe this money was paid to that old man to save his life."
"I wonder if Wanniang and Qingjie have been implicated by him again."
Wang Cheng stopped laughing and consoled them, "Wanniang and Qingjie are both lucky. Pei Yi...is also luckier than us. He will be able to turn the danger into safety."
Hearing this, Lin Yuzan, who was implied, couldn't help but glare at him again, then turned around and looked down again.
At this moment, a familiar figure caught his eye. A flash of surprise flashed across his eyes, and then he showed an expression of expectedness.
Lin Yuzan glanced at Wang Cheng who was still leisurely drinking tea, sneered, and said, "It seems that we should return to Yanjing."
Wang Cheng was slightly stunned, and quickly stood up and walked to the window, where he saw a tall figure who had not been seen for a long time, riding a horse at the end of the team, with a solemn expression on his face, showing an awe-inspiring temperament.
"Lin Zi..." Wang Cheng couldn't help but shout.
The next moment, he was hurriedly pulled away from the window by Lin Yuzan.
At the same time, Wang Lin's sharp eyes swept upwards.
Lin Yuzan met his gaze with a cold gaze and raised her teacup to greet him.
Wang Lin withdrew his gaze indifferently, and followed the grain transport team without looking around.
"Tsk..." Lin Yuzan stroked his chin, following Wang Lin's tall back with deep eyes.
Wang Cheng returned to the window, frowned and looked at his brother from afar, "But did you find anything wrong?"
Lin Yuzan glanced at him jokingly and said, "What's wrong? You can go meet him and find out. Why bother asking?"
Then he lazily sat back in his seat and said casually, "The food and money are not damaged at all. If it is not because of the old man's proper deployment, then there must be someone in the team who is in control of the situation. I don't believe that King Yu will not take action."
Wang Cheng's eyes trembled slightly, and an unacceptable thought arose in his heart.
He raised his eyes again and looked at Wang Lin until he disappeared at the end of the street.
