Chapter 181 Peicheng

Pei Cheng roared with disdain: "Do you think I am you? It is true that people with dirty hearts see everything as dirty. I just think that this Miss Xu is a bit like..."

Pei Cheng didn't say what it was like, and Prefect Kang didn't ask.

As long as it's not an evil thought, it's not a problem.

"By the way, who are those people? Have you found out? They dared to commit murder in broad daylight. You, as the prefect, are really derelict in your duty."

After hearing this, Prefect Kang's expression immediately changed: "We have already found out that those people are guards in the city and at the gate of Yan County, pretending to be Liu Xianwei who is loyal to Yan County..."

Afterwards, Prefect Kang told the story about the imperial examination between Gu Yunyi and County Magistrate Liu's son.

Pei Cheng, don't be fooled by his rough appearance. He is actually very careful. Otherwise, the emperor would not have sent him here this time.

"This County Lieutenant Liu is from the Qingzhou camp?" Pei Cheng frowned and said.

"Yes, he used to work for that person, and later he has been in charge of the affairs of Yan County. This County Lieutenant Liu, using his relationship with the camp, has sidelined every official in Yan County before Mr. Huang."

Pei Cheng's eyes flashed with sternness, "In that case, let's start with him."

Xu Qingmeng followed the maid back to the room, thinking about the danger she had encountered, and then thinking about General Pei and Prefect Kang.

I don’t know the name of this General Pei, but the Pei family is mentioned in the original book. The Pei family is a famous family in the capital, and many court ministers have come from the family.

The current head of the family is Academician Pei, who is revered by scholars. It is not known whether this General Pei is from the Pei family.

Xu Qingmeng originally wanted to ask about General Pei, but she saw a nanny coming out from the room next door to Gu Yunyi and Zhou Yuanjia.

The man saw Xu Qingmeng and hurriedly said, "Madam, Master Gu and Master Zhou have woken up. Go and take a look."

When Xu Qingmeng heard this, he hurried in.

"Madam, please slow down. You are still pregnant." the little maid shouted from behind.

"Yun Yi."

Gu Yunyi was lying on the bed, still as pale as when she left, with only his eyes open, shining black.

He looked Xu Qingmeng up and down, and seeing that she was fine, he finally felt relieved.

"Yun Yi, how do you feel? Is there any pain?"

Xu Qingmeng sat on the edge of the bed, wanting to reach out, but didn't know where to start, so she had to ask.

Gu Yunyi shook his head: "I'm fine."

He raised his hand and held Xu Qingmeng's hand tightly: "How are you? Are you okay? Is the child okay?"

"Don't worry, I'm fine, and the child is fine too. Come to think of it, I should thank Mr. Zhou very much." Xu Qing dreamed of the scene at that time and still felt terrified at this moment.

“Ahem…”

Zhou Yuanjia coughed and said, "I was thinking that you had forgotten me!"

Xu Qingmeng pulled her hand away embarrassedly, looked at Zhou Yuanjia beside her, and said apologetically: "How could it be? Master Zhou, I am grateful for your presence today, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous."

Zhou Yuanjia waved his hand and smiled weakly: "Sister-in-law, what I said is, I just hope that in the future, when I have something to come to your house, you can help me say a few good words?"

Xu Qingmeng looked at him in confusion, then glanced at Gu Yunyi: "?"

"Nothing, nothing? Sister-in-law, I think I need to take a nap. You talk to Brother Gu."

Xu Qingmeng looked at Gu Yunyi with a puzzled look and whispered, "What do you mean?"

Gu Yunyi shook his head, indicating that he didn't know.

"Well, even if he doesn't tell me, I'll find out in the future."

Xu Qingmeng had no choice but to give up, then moved a stool and sat beside Gu Yunyi's bed, and whispered to him about General Pei and Prefect Kang's meeting with her.

No matter what Xu Qingmeng said, Gu Yunyi looked as if he understood everything, which made Xu Qingmeng a little confused.

"You know everything?"

Gu Yunyi nodded and shook his head, which made Xu Qingmeng confused. Then he said, "Just guessed something?"

There was still some distance between Xu Qingmeng and Gu Yunyi. After all, Gu Yunyi jumped out of the car first, and it was Zhou Yuanjia who took this man to rescue him. He saw it with his own eyes that the man rescued him who was lying on the ground dying.

Although Gu Yunyi didn't know the identity of this person, before he fainted, he heard the man's subordinates calling him General Pei.

After offending County Lieutenant Liu, Gu Yunyi had done his homework. He and Huang Boyang went to County Magistrate Huang to learn a lot about the Qingzhou camp. Although they didn't know much, they knew that there was no general with the surname Pei in the Qingzhou camp.

In addition, after the prefectural examination, there was nothing unusual in the Qingzhou camp, and Prefect Kang became more powerful all of a sudden. The sudden appearance of the academician and some words Huang Boyang said before he left made him more convinced that things were about to change in Qingzhou Prefecture.

No matter what General Pei is like, one thing is that he is not a bad person, and that is enough.

"But I always feel that there is something wrong with General Pei, but I can't put my finger on it." Xu Qingmeng said in a low voice.

"Don't worry, nothing will happen." Gu Yunyi thought it was just the sequelae of Xu Qingmeng and comforted her.

Xu Qingmeng wanted to say something, but when she glanced at Gu Yunyi and saw that he looked very tired, she took back the words that were about to come out of her mouth.

Never mind, it’s not a big deal after all, let’s talk about it later.

The three of them stayed in the general's mansion for four days, and during those four days they did not see General Pei again, so Xu Qingmeng let it go.

On the afternoon of the fourth day, Huang Boyang got two luxurious carriages and brought a group of sword-wielding guards to pick them up and take them back to Yan County.

They were strangers, so it was not appropriate for them to stay in the general's mansion forever. This was exactly why Huang Boyang came.

Gu Yunyi was carried up. He insisted that his legs were just superficial injuries and if he was careful, there would definitely be no problem.

Xu Qingmeng was worried that the wound would split again, so she disagreed. With no other choice, Gu Yunyi had to be carried up.

Zhou Yuanjia looked at Gu Yunyi's expression, wanting to laugh but not daring to, and said, "Brother Gu, just listen to your sister-in-law obediently."

Huang Boyang glanced at Zhou Yuanjia, waved to the guards, and said, "Carry this Mr. Zhou up as well."

"Brother Huang, there's no need for that. My injuries are not serious and I can leave." Zhou Yuanjia shouted.

"That won't work. What if the wound breaks? How am I going to explain to Aunt Zhou?" Huang Boyang said with a smile.

"I told you to show off." Gu Yunyi said.

There was no other way. As a patient, Zhou Yuanjia could only listen to others' orders.

The carriage was covered with soft blankets, and lying on them, you could hardly feel any vibration.
