Pei Yi sat down next to the driver helplessly.
At this moment, a few whispers reached his ears.
"This Yuelai Teahouse is in bad luck. A student got his head chopped off inside. The whole head just rolled down from the second floor. The murderer is missing too."
"Alas, Yanjing has been in turmoil lately. Students have always gotten into trouble in the past few months."
"Yes, and they are all students of Yunfei Academy. The young master of Jingzhao Yin's family is also from Yunfei Academy. He recognized who this person was as soon as he came to the teahouse."
"Who?"
"It's Lian Shanzhang, the former tutor who retired, his grandson..."
Pei Yi: ...
"Stop the car." Pei Yi shouted hurriedly, then he lifted the car curtain, looked at the little girls who were still making a fuss, and said, "Something happened at Yuelai Teahouse. I'll go and ask around first. Don't come out."
Before the four kids could react to this sentence, Pei Yi had already gotten out of the car and ran towards Yuelai Teahouse.
This place is only a few hundred meters away from Yuelai Teahouse.
Several people looked at each other in bewilderment. With such a big piece of news in front of them, they also wanted to know!
At this moment, the wealthy Yu Ke calmly took out a ten-liang silver note from his sleeve, then leaned out of the car window and shouted to the bustling street: "Who can tell me what happened to the Yuelai Teahouse? Whose silver note is this!"
Passerby:......
The other three little ones: ...
In a flash, the banknote in Yu Ke's hand was quickly taken away by an agile middle-aged woman.
The old lady smiled and said, "Oh, young lady, there was a conflict between scholars in Yuelai Teahouse, one of them was beheaded, and the murderer also escaped. Jingzhao Yin is sending people to hunt him down!"
As soon as these words were spoken, three heads popped out from behind Yu Ke, and four pairs of eyes stared at the aunt with sparkling eyes.
Aunt:......
Little Yining opened her eyes with a strong desire for knowledge and said, "Auntie, please explain it in detail."
Not long after, Pei Yi came back with a strange expression on his face, and he was just about to speak.
The four kids in the car said in unison, "We all know."
Pei Yi: ...
He nodded, walked back into the carriage, and said to everyone in a calm tone, "A stick of incense ago, a man sneaked into Yuelai Teahouse and deliberately quarreled with "Lu Tingfeng", and used this as an excuse to kill him."
Then, he looked at Liu and Chen and continued, "Lord Liu and Supervisor Lian just came over. I told them that you were accompanying Sister Qing to the pharmacy to check her stomach and were not there when the incident happened. Lord Liu was relieved after hearing this, but he asked you to go to Bazhenzhai across the street. Your maid will be waiting for you there."
The two nodded, indicating that they understood. Then Liu Zhenying asked curiously, "Uncle Pei, was the one who died real or fake?"
"Fake." Pei Yi replied indifferently.
As soon as the words fell, several people asked in unison, "Scapegoat?"
Then, the five children had the same expression.
Chen Jiaoyi said dryly, "Then we have become the savior of this Mr. Lu!"
"Then we really did a good thing by accident, otherwise Mr. Lu would have died." Liu Zhenying said with an indescribable expression.
"Then what should we do with Mr. Lu?" Yu Ke asked the most crucial question with a look of surprise.
Xiao Yining immediately came up with a good idea, "He can fake his death and then be burned as a demon."
Then she gave everyone a little "I'm very experienced" look.
Finally, the three of them looked at her inexplicably.
Pei Yi also pulled her and whispered, "Qing Jie'er, this is someone else's business, we shouldn't give any advice."
No matter what, the bad intention turned into a good thing, which made several people depressed, but also felt fortunate. They didn't expect that someone would deal with Lu Tingfeng and want to kill him.
The carriage slowly drove to Bazhenzhai, opposite Yuelai Teahouse.
Several girls who had not yet visited the crime scene were standing on the carriage and looking towards Yuelai Teahouse. Of course, due to the height problem, Xiao Yining was held up by Pei Yi to watch.
The outside of Yuelai Teahouse was already full of officials, but there were only a few people inside. A man was kneeling on the ground, holding a head and crying bitterly. Several men beside him were also shaking their heads and sighing, lamenting the impermanence of life.
Liu Yang's face was full of compassion. He couldn't bear to see his old friend in such pain. He touched his moustache and turned his head to the outside with tears in his eyes.
Then a familiar little figure opposite him caught his eye.
Liu Yang: …
Liu Zhenying jumped on the front of the car and waved desperately to her father.
Not only her, several girls were waving there, determined to attract Liu Yang over.
Liu Yang did come over, and he was still aggressive and livid. As soon as he came in front of the few people, he started to yell, "What a disgrace! Why don't you get down here?"
Liu Zhenying got out of the car with a smile on her face, and called out "Dad" in a playful manner.
The others also called out "Master Liu" obediently.
Liu Yang glared at his daughter, then his expression eased a little. He said to the children, "There are thieves here, so it's not a good idea to stay here. You guys should go home first! I've asked my nephew Zhang to escort you back."
After saying that, he looked back.
At this time, Zhang Liangchuan just managed to squeeze out from the crowd of onlookers, looking a little embarrassed.
Seeing this, Liu Yang couldn't control his mouth anymore, and said to Zhang Liangchuan who was coming over, "Nephew Zhang, your father is the prefect of Jingzhao, but you haven't even learned a bit of his bearing. You've only learned the street gangster spirits, and you can't even walk smoothly."
Finally, she gave him a "rotten wood" look.
Zhang Liangchuan: …
He bowed deeply and said, "Uncle Liu is right."
"When we are outside, you have to call me Lord Liu." Liu Yang reminded expressionlessly.
Zhang Liangchuan froze for a moment, feeling a little embarrassed.
Hearing such familiar words, Xiao Yining and Pei Yi turned their heads away silently to avoid showing a gloating expression.
Fortunately, Liu Zhenying spoke up in time, "Dad, you are making things difficult for me again."
"Dad never makes things difficult for anyone, as the saying goes..." Liu Yang was planning to give a long speech, but unfortunately, after he had just started, he was pulled aside by his daughter to gossip.
Zhang Liangchuan then straightened up, bowed to the children, and said with a forced smile, "Excuse me, young ladies. Sister Qing and Junior Brother Pei are here too. What a coincidence! Ha, ha, ha..."
"Thank you for your courtesy, Mr. Zhang!" Yu Ke and Chen Jiaoyi quickly returned the greeting.
Even Xiao Yining followed suit and called out to him, "Mr. Zhang, you are polite!"
Zhang Liangchuan was stunned when he heard this address, and quickly corrected her, "Sister Qing, you shouldn't call me Master Zhang."
As soon as the words fell, Liu Yang's exciting voice sounded behind this person again, "Then what should she call you?"
When Xiao Yining saw the person coming, he quickly and obediently called out "Uncle Liu!"
Uncle Liu?
uncle?
Zhang Liangchuan looked at Xiao Yining in shock, then glanced at Liu Yang quietly. He nodded slightly, then glanced at him with disgust and gave him the eight-character mantra.
"A cunning eye can lead to misleading young people."
Zhang Liangchuan: …
Zhang Liangchuan: …
Then the man suddenly changed his tone, and said in a very casual manner, "Nephew Zhang, please send my daughter and her friend back."
"Ah good…"
Zhang Liangchuan didn't know what expression to use to respond at this time. He could only stare blankly at Liu Yang with a serious face. He walked in front of the crowd with small square steps and shouted "Make way", and then disappeared from his sight.
Pei Yi, holding little Yining, came behind him without him noticing, and started the heart-breaking mode without him noticing.
"Uncle, Uncle Liu is really magnanimous. You should learn from him when you become an official in the future."
"Well, Sister Qing is right."
Zhang Liangchuan: There is something I don’t know whether I should say or not!!!
