Chapter 134 Inspection Division Thorough Investigation
The woman's clear cry made Pei Song unconsciously walk over. He stared at the bottles and jars in front of the woman and asked, "What...what is this?"
Seeing that he had been tricked, Ah Zan smiled slightly and said, "Sir, take a look. This is a good thing given to me from outside. I'm just afraid that you might be scared."
Pei Xuan waved his hand and said, "No, I won't be scared by fun things."
Azan waved at him, signaling him to come closer. Pei Song was amused by this and then took a step forward obediently. Azan picked up the jar closest to him and opened it in front of Pei Song. Inside, he saw a bug as long as a human's little finger.
It was cold in the capital. It had snowed heavily the previous two days, and today was the Lesser Cold. The snow on the branches hadn't melted yet, leaving no room for these insects to survive. The one in Ah Zan's hand had taken him a long time to find. It was frozen to death, but at least it was still alive.
She lowered her voice and spoke mysteriously, "This insect is called a snow crystal insect. It thrives when snow falls. As soon as it snows, this insect will be full of life."
Pei Song stared with his eyes wide open. The snow on the branches not far away fell to the ground with a plop, and some of it splashed on the corner of Pei Song's clothes, but he had not noticed it yet.
Ah Zan opened another jar, and inside was another snake skin. The snakes were hibernating now, so there was no way she could find it. But the snake skin was golden yellow, and when it was unfolded it was as thick as a human wrist. It was probably dried up because it had been there for a long time.
She was certain Pei Song wouldn't notice anything was wrong, so she coaxed him, "Look, sir, this is snake skin. When spring comes, the snake will crawl back on its own. This snake is a rare creature, a magical snake raised in the south. If you put it next to your pillow at night, you will see gods."
A'zan's words sounded strange. If she were an ordinary person, she would have been rolled with the eyes, but this was Pei Song.
Pei Song was indeed curious after hearing her words. He clapped his hands and said, "I want it! I want it! I'll buy it back to warm my father's bed!"
As he spoke, he had already reached into his clothes to take out the silver. He was anxious to get what Ah Zan had, so he gave everything to Ah Zan and said, "I want them all!"
Pei Song was walking back to the Pei Mansion with a few bottles and jars. He was looking down at the treasures he had found, and he didn't notice that he was suddenly blocked by a tall and thin figure in front of him. He was puzzled, but he heard the person in front of him say, "The Inspection Office is conducting a thorough investigation. Please let me see what's in the jar."
Ah Zan closed her stall. She had gotten up early and hadn't eaten anything since leaving. She was now ravenous, so she used Pei Song's money to buy a bun on the street. Turning around, she saw the patrol officer standing before Pei Song, ordering him to open the jar.
The patrol officer glanced at Ah Zan and nodded imperceptibly. Ah Zan understood, took the bun, and left, thinking to himself how smoothly things had gone today. A fool was easy to deal with.
It just went so smoothly that it was a little abnormal.
She was thinking as she walked, and was about to head towards Donghuamen when she heard a woman's voice behind her: "Girl! Wait for me!"
"Hurry up, I came out without telling my parents. If they find out, you and I will be in trouble!"
Ah Zan paused, hearing the footsteps of the two people getting closer and closer. She lowered her veil a little and walked to the side of the road. The moment the woman passed by her, she turned her head to look -
Pei San and Pei Ruxin?
How did she come out?
