On the mountain road.

Pei Zhong's hands and feet were tied up like a pig. Bald Man and Pockmarked Face found a wooden stick to pick Pei Zhong up, and then carried him to Yiyun Village.

The other bandits looked somewhat complicated when they saw this.

Putting aside the conflict between Pei Zhong and Pei Yun, Pei Zhong was still nice to them.

At least they were given something to eat during this year of famine, which allowed them to survive until now, otherwise they would probably have starved to death.

Of course, no one stood up for Pei Zhong now. Everyone lowered their heads and continued on their way.

“Woo woo woo~”

Pei Zhong kept shaking and struggling, his face flushed red. "Go ahead and tie me up, but can you please not hang me like this?"

I can walk by myself, this posture makes me uncomfortable.

Bang!

Zhao Si whipped Pei Zhong with a whip and said, "Behave yourself!"

Pei Zhong immediately glared at him. Zhao Si was his most trusted confidant, but he brought people to tie him up and now he was beating him.

If I had known this would happen, I should not have pleaded for him and let Pei Yun beat him to death.

Seeing that Pei Zhong did not struggle much after being whipped, Zhao Si said smugly, "You bastard, you deserve to be punished."

Skinny Monkey and Bearded Man both felt that Zhao Si had gone too far. After all, Pei Zhong was still your boss. Are you treating Pei Zhong like this just to gain recognition?

However, the two did not say much. Pei Zhong deliberately harmed the boss, so he deserved to be whipped.

"Boss, we are back!"

When they were still dozens of meters away from Yiyun Village, Zhao Si was already shouting at the top of his voice, as if he had already been a member of Yiyun Village.

Pei Yun walked out of the village and said, "Go to your respective rooms and clean up."

All of the bandits immediately returned to their houses.

Pei Zhong was brought before Pei Yun.

Pei Yun took the rag out of his mouth, his eyes slightly cold, "Second Uncle, we finally meet."

Pei Zhong tried to stand up straight. "Success or failure, you'll win. Give me a quick death."

Pei Yun stared at him. "I want to know why you, my uncle, are so determined to harm me. You have already separated from the family, but you still want to kill me. Is there such a big hatred between us?"

This is what Pei Yun couldn't understand. How could there be such a deep hatred between uncle and nephew?

"Will you let me go if I tell you?"

Pei Yun shook his head.

"Then why should I tell you?"

"It doesn't matter if you don't tell me. I don't really want to know. Tie him up and take him over."

Pei Yun smiled and asked the bald man to tie Pei Zhong to a big tree in the yard.

"Boss, how do we deal with Pei Zhong's wife?"

The pockmarked man pointed at a woman who looked a little terrified. She was Pei Zhong's wife and the legitimate daughter-in-law. The other daughters-in-law had already been taken back by the bandits.

Although Pei Zhong had slept with her before, she was still his wife. Winter was coming soon, and it would be nice to have a wife to warm the bed.

When the woman heard what Ma Lian said, she knelt down with a thud and begged, "Boss, please don't kill me. I can serve you. I know everything and will serve you well."

"I didn't say I was going to kill you. Just get off the mountain."

Pei Yun had no impression of Pei Zhong's wife, but he thought that she was most likely kidnapped from the mountain, so he decided to let her go down the mountain and reunite with her family.

"Master, can I stay? I will be your maid and serve you."

The woman raised her head and said this. She was quite pretty.

"Just be my maid."

Pei Yun shook his head. This was Pei Zhong's wife. If we really go by seniority, she was his aunt. It would be inappropriate to take her as a maid.

Seeing Pei Yun shaking his head, the woman became anxious and said, "Boss, please don't drive me down the mountain. I eat very little. I can wash clothes and cook. I can do any rough work."

The woman also knew what life was like down the mountain, and on the way here she had heard that there was food and drink in Yiyun Village, so she wouldn't starve to death if she stayed in the village, but going down the mountain would most likely mean death.

"May I have your name?"

When Pei Yun heard that the other party could do laundry and cook, he thought it was okay to use her.

"Miao He."

"Then I'll call you He Niang. From now on, you'll be responsible for washing clothes and cooking. You can choose a few more women to work with you."

Hearing Pei Yun's words, He Niang was overjoyed and kowtowed quickly, "Thank you, Boss. Thank you, Boss."

He Niang was asked to find a room to live in by herself. There was only one maid left, Wang Sui, of Pei Zhong's family. She was about fourteen or fifteen years old and was unwilling to go down the mountain.

She is very pretty, and Pei Yun thinks Pei Zhong's aesthetic taste is still on point, though a little underdeveloped.

Pei Yun took her in as a maid.

"Boss, I have something to tell you."

The four bald men tied Pei Zhong to a tree and walked over.

"What's up?"

"Pei Zhong was kidnapped by Zhao Si..." He then recounted the entire story.

Pei Yun narrowed his eyes slightly, and understood what the bald man meant. He felt that Zhao Si was unreliable. As Pei Zhong's most trusted confidant, he was jumping so happily.

Then it is very likely that the same thing will happen to him in the future.

Although I understand what Zhao Si wanted to express, his behavior is indeed shameful.

"Boss, we can't keep Zhao Si. I've already asked Zhugan and the others, and they all came up with a lot of ideas that target us."

Ma Lian spoke.

"If you can't do it yourself, leave it to us."

Pei Yun smiled and said, "There's nothing wrong with that. Shouhou, go find Zhugan and ask them to tell us everything Zhao Si did to us. Then tie Zhao Si up in front of all the brothers and make an example of him."

"Okay!"

The four of them smiled and went about their business.

Soon, a sound like Zhao Si slaughtering a pig came from the yard.

"What are you doing? Why are you tying me up?"

The other bandits also came out and saw that Zhao Si was also tied to a tree, not far away from Pei Zhong.

Zhao Si was still shouting, but his mouth was soon blocked by a rag.

The bald man repeated what Zhugan and others had said, and the faces of the bandits changed slightly.

Although they separated and followed Pei Zhong, they had not thought of doing anything to Pei Yun and the others. They had not expected that Zhao Si was so deliberate in trying to kill Pei Yun.

Pei Zhong burst into laughter at this time.

"Zhao Si, Zhao Si, you have finally gotten what you deserved. You thought that if you kidnapped me, you would be a great merit and Pei Yun would let you go. You were too naive! You are a mean person who only cares about your own interests. You will do anything to achieve your goals and completely disregard our brotherhood. You deserve it!"

Zhao Si, with his mouth blocked, had his eyes wide open, his body struggling desperately, and making a whimpering sound, as if he was defending himself, or venting his resentment, but it was all in vain.

Pei Zhong looked at the other bandits again and said, "Don't be fooled by Pei Yun. He said there would be food and drinks here. Where are the food and drinks? Have you seen them?"

He still held out a little hope and wanted to sow discord, hoping to get these bandits to work for him again.

Pei Yun smiled and said, "It seems you are still not giving up."

"Bald, go to my backyard and bring out the pork and flour. Today, we will have steamed buns and meat soup for everyone to eat!"

When these bandits went to Zhongxin Village, Pei Yun bought some fat meat and flour. He wanted to make Pei Zhong admit defeat sincerely.
