Chapter 37: Startling the Snake

This movement naturally did not escape Qin Xixi's eyes.

As soon as they entered the city, they were noticed. Their disguise was really a complete failure.

The little emperor's grandson was obviously a young master from a wealthy family, no problem.

She looked at Zhou Fangze again, and her eyes were full of anger.

[The little emperor's grandson is so stupid! Zhou Fangze is so abominable! They didn't even realize that their identities had been exposed! ]

Pei Xuanyi was shocked when he heard this, and thought of something. He also turned back to look at Zhou Fangze and found that he had washed his face and changed into a servant's clothes.

Pei Xuanyi cursed inwardly in frustration. I shouldn't have believed that Zhou Fangze could understand human language.

Let him disguise carefully and don't let others recognize him.

He just changed his clothes and washed his face, looking exactly the same as before he set out. Is he afraid that others won't recognize him?

So stupid!

Zhou Fangze may not be stupid, he may be vicious.

Qin Xixi knew Zhou Fangze's character in her heart, and she probably wished her elder brother would die.

[Now that we have made a move, and there are still people following us, I am afraid we can't escape. ]

Qin Xixi waved her little fist at Zhou Fangze angrily.

This man has a mind but no brain. He only thinks about dealing with his elder brother, but he has exposed the purpose of their group.

If the reinforcements don't come in time, he will die too!

No wonder he only got the third place with Zhou Fangyu's help.

Such talent!

Pei Xuanyi also understood at this time that since he had been exposed, it would be better to directly use his original identity to deal with the officials. Perhaps he could delay time and wait for Fu Qian and the reinforcements to arrive.

He only thought for a moment and came up with a countermeasure.

The other party already knew that they were going to find Qin Qixuan, so they would naturally transfer him or even kill him directly.

The person in charge must be found out quickly, otherwise Qin Qixuan will be in danger.

He pretended to be shocked and pointed at the people who were monitoring them from a distance.

"Who is it? How dare you follow this

grandson of the emperor? Come on, take him down!" The man didn't expect that the person in charge would be this half-grown boy.

While he was stunned, he was subdued by several guards who were accompanying him and brought in front of Pei Xuanyi.

Pei Xuanyi also pretended to know nothing at this time.

"Who are you? Who sent you? How dare you spy on the grandson of the emperor?"

The spying guard remained silent and refused to say anything.

The secret guard was tight-lipped to begin with, and Pei Xuanyi had no intention of prying anything out of him. He was only trying to lure out the person behind him.

Sure enough, Wang Yao's surprised voice came from the front.

"It's the grandson of the emperor! Cang Lan, why don't you apologize to the grandson of the emperor!"

After that, he quickly apologized, his words were very sincere.

"Your Highness, the Imperial Grandson has come. I am sorry for not welcoming you in person! However, I always feel uneasy about carrying the task of transporting grain and grass, so I asked the guards to guard the city gate to prevent any sneaky people from wanting to harm the grain and grass. But I didn't expect to bump into His Highness, the Imperial Grandson."

His words were flawless and there was nothing wrong with them.

Pei Xuanyi also seemed to have suddenly realized something.

"So that's the case. Then I have wronged you, my Lord."

Wang Yao laughed in his heart. This little Imperial Grandson is still young and seems to be easier to fool than Qin Qixuan.

Unexpectedly, he changed the subject and started asking questions directly.

"Previously, I sent the eldest sons of the Qin family and the Zhou family to investigate, but this time only the Zhou family came back, and the Qin family is nowhere to be found. May I ask where the Qin family is now?"

Wang Yao looked

at Zhou Fangze viciously. "This, I don't know anything about it! The two adults came to investigate the grain and grass, and we have already transported it as quickly as possible. They went back after the inspection. My lord, please don't blame me for your personal grudges, we can't bear this responsibility!"

These words made him completely clear of the matter, and he kept saying that Qin Qixuan was framed by Zhou Fangze and had nothing to do with them.

Zhou Fangze was unwilling to hear this.

"I heard you say you wanted to burn the grain and you tried every means to stop us from going to investigate. You must be feeling guilty!"

Pei Xuanyi did not stop him.

It's time to talk about the grain.

Let's test Zhou Fangze and see what Wang Yao says.

Wang Yao doesn't admit it. Zhou Fangze is just a big mouth without evidence, so he is not a big shot at all.

"It's unfair, it's really unfair! I have a lot of impressions of that young master Qin, but this young master Zhou has no intention of investigating the grain. Even the investigation was done by young master Qin, and this young master is not sure where he is. Now you say that we are not transporting grain well and even want to burn the grain. This is simply empty talk and insulting people's innocence!"

Pei Xuanyi heard the words with a cold face.

It seems that Wang Yao is unrepentant and is determined not to admit it.

He pretended to scold Zhou Fangze.

"I asked you to investigate the grain and grass, why are you so lazy and slander Lord Wang."

Zhou Fangze was stunned by the scolding and was about to refute, but Pei Xuanyi interrupted him directly.

He didn't expect Zhou Fangze to cooperate with him tacitly, at least not to drag him down.

"Don't make excuses, I'll deal with you when I get back."

Pei Xuanyi scolded Zhou Fangze and turned to Wang Yao.

"Lord Wang, since it was a misunderstanding, why don't we go to investigate the grain and grass together to avoid any more mistakes?"

Wang Yao's face changed.

This little grandson of the emperor is not very old, but he is so unforgiving.

At this point, he still wanted to continue checking the rations. Wasn't he afraid that if he was pushed too far, he would just kill everyone?

Leaving peacefully was good for everyone. Didn't he understand this?

Wang Yao pretended to treat them to a banquet, and after dinner he would take them to check the rations.

But while they were not paying attention, he signaled the servants to move Qin Qixuan to another place.

Pei Xuanyi naturally saw his little move. He wanted to keep silent and let the guards follow him to secretly rescue Qin Qixuan, but he was interrupted by Zhou Fangyu.

She screamed.

"Where is he going? Why is he leaving now? He is not going to inform the others!"

Pei Xuanyi's eyes flashed coldly.

What an idiot!

Wang Yao's expression froze.

He thought these two children were just a decoy, but he didn't expect that one of them was only one year old and could speak so fluently!

The servants also stopped, not knowing whether to leave.

Wang Yao's face sank when he saw this.

Zhou Fangyu's shout made his thoughts clear.

The young emperor's group also made it clear that they didn't believe him.

Zhou Fangyu was a child, so he naturally couldn't blame her. He

could only smile awkwardly and let the servants go back.

"In this case, since you want to investigate the food and grass so much, please follow me."

Rather than letting the tiger go back to the mountain and cause trouble for him in the future, it's better...

since you want to die so much, let's die together!
