◎Let her live for a while longer◎
"These people don't seem to be ordinary people. They have strong internal energy and can be considered second-rate masters." He Ziqing withdrew his hand from a guard with a serious expression.
Lin Qingyan glanced at the black-clad guards lying in all directions in the cave and felt something was wrong. She asked An Jiu, "You said they were all knocked unconscious by the drugs you gave them?"
An Jiu thought about it and nodded: "That's right."
The way these people were knocked down was almost the same as that of the flower thief, so she guessed that Pei Ji still used the Ecstasy Powder.
He Ziqing didn't think so: "They all look very painful. It doesn't seem like the effect of the Ecstasy Powder. It seems like they couldn't bear the pain and lost consciousness."
Lin Qingyan: "I have the antidote for the Ecstasy Powder here, try waking them up."
As she spoke, she took out a small bottle from her lapel.
Anjiu looked at her: "How do you have this?"
Lin Qingyan: "It's in the purse Pei Ji gave me."
An Jiu: "!!!"
She didn't! Is the discrimination so serious?
In the previous life, you were killed by the heroine, and in this life, you have to be her licker. Pei Ji, I didn’t expect you to be a love-brained person! ! I misjudged you! !
He Ziqing scratched his head and explained An Jiu's thoughts: "Ah? I don't have it here."
Lin Qingyan's cheeks turned slightly red, and she smiled embarrassedly: "Maybe he is worried about me. Pei Ji is always like this, always worried about me."
Lin Qingyan could vaguely sense the feelings of her childhood sweetheart, but since he didn't say anything and just took care of her in every aspect of life, she was too embarrassed to point it out.
Besides... she wasn't sure who she liked...
Thinking of this, the girl in blue glanced at He Ziqing.
He Ziqing knew nothing about it and laughed foolishly: "Yes, Pei Ji is really good to you."
Lin Qingyan pursed her lips and said, "We grew up together, just like siblings, so we naturally have a good relationship."
An Jiu watched the interaction between the male and female protagonists from the side, with pity in his eyes.
Pei Ji was very difficult to deal with in his previous life. He was reborn in this life and had the upper hand. It was still unknown whether the two of them could still be together.
Especially He Ziqing, this silly guy. As Pei Ji’s mortal enemy and love rival in his previous life, can he still defeat Pei Ji by relying on the aura of the protagonist in this life?
An Jiu felt that there was little hope.
He Ziqing, such a pitiful male protagonist!
Lin Qingyan placed the antidote for the Ecstasy Powder in front of a man, and the man woke up after a while, but his eyes were dazed. No matter what they asked, the guards did not respond at all.
The same thing happened to everyone else. It seemed as if they all became fools overnight.
"It's not the Ecstasy Powder, it seems to be some kind of poison." He Ziqing looked unhappy.
Lin Qingyan: "Go and ask Pei Ji to come in and take a look."
During this period, An Jiu remained silent, as if he was frightened.
She was filled with horror and knew the result clearly. Even if she called Pei Ji, he would not be able to tell anything.
It was all thanks to him that these guards became like this.
She thought he just knocked them out, but she didn't expect that he would destroy these people directly!
Lin Qingyan went out. After a while, the sound of a wheelchair rolling was heard in the corridor, and Ah Qi pushed Pei Ji into the cave.
The young man was wearing white clothes and had black hair, with a gentle smile on his face. He seemed no different from before they left.
Looking at the usual smile on his face, An Jiu felt a chill rising from head to toe, enveloping her completely.
It was not until this moment that she finally had a real feeling about Pei Ji's identity as a villain.
He really would kill people, and he did it coldly and mercilessly, without showing any emotion at all.
Pei Ji came to a guard, checked him carefully, and smiled slightly: "They are all dead."
"Dead? But they are still alive."
Pei Ji shook his head, his long eyelashes drooped slightly, with a hint of pity between his eyebrows, and said in a deep voice: "Their consciousness is dead, and now they are just a shell. As for what method they used, I can't see it."
Lin Qingyan frowned: "Too cruel."
He Ziqing turned around and asked An Jiu: "Miss An, why did these people become like this?"
An Jiu looked at Pei Ji. The young man in white had a kind expression, pity in his eyes and eyebrows, and he was as compassionate as a boy standing before the Buddha.
She gritted her teeth secretly, but still didn't tell the truth. She stammered, "I don't know. When I came here, I saw them lying on the ground. They looked like they were poisoned by Ecstasy Powder. That's what I said."
[Pei Ji's favorability towards you +5, currently -69. ]
Lin Qingyan's eyes were clear, and she asked coldly, "You really don't know?"
An Jiu ignored the reminder in his mind, stamped his feet unhappily, and said impatiently: "Otherwise, look at me like this, what can I do to them?"
Hearing this, Lin Qingyan's expression relaxed. That's right, although Miss An is arrogant, she is just a lady in the boudoir and can't do much.
"We are not doubting you, we just don't want to let any murderer go." After Lin Qingyan finished explaining, she turned to He Ziqing and said, "There are still many secrets hidden in this dark village. Let's go search it again."
He Ziqing nodded: "Okay."
The two entered the black building to search, while An Jiu and Pei Ji stayed where they were.
An Jiu turned his head and stared at Pei Ji hard.
Pei Ji naturally noticed this strong gaze. He turned his head slightly and looked back, smiling, "Why is Miss An looking at me like this?"
See if you are sick.
Of course, she couldn't say that. She didn't say anything, just stared at him with a weird look.
She stared until the system started to prompt that her favorability had dropped by 5 points, then she slowly said, "I just think that Dr. Pei's eyes are very beautiful. Hmm... they look like someone."
The young man in white blinked slightly, "Like a person?"
[Pei Ji's favorability towards you is -10, currently -79. ]
This kind of goodwill is so hard to accumulate. It's extremely difficult to raise it, but it only takes a moment to drop it.
He should be a little nervous now, right?
People with Pei Ji's personality often have extreme paranoia and desire for control. Anything that is about to get out of his control will arouse his strong disgust.
An Jiu was not panicked and continued: "Yes, it's someone I know. Your eyes are almost exactly the same, but..."
“But what?” The young man in white opened his folding fan bit by bit, his eyelids slightly drooped, and his expression could not be seen clearly.
If this woman recognized him… then there was no need to continue.
At this moment, he was already thinking about whether to make her into a living doll, or plant a Yin-Yang Talisman on her to erase her will and turn her into a servant who would only obey his orders.
In fact, this method is the safest. Anjiu's life is very important. Imprisoning her and keeping her by your side until the twin Gu is found is the best option.
However, the next moment, the girl's clear voice came to my ears.
"But now it seems that you are not the same at all."
The red-dressed girl raised her chin, as if showing off something, snorted softly, and said, "How can you compare to Master Feiyi? You're a miracle doctor, but you can't even tell why these people have become like this. You're not even as good as Master Feiyi's finger."
She looked calm, with a kind of innocent cruelty in her eyes.
Pei Ji paused as he was stroking the folding fan. After a moment, he smiled and said, "Can you tell who Miss An is talking about, Mr. Fei Yi?"
"Of course!" An Jiu blurted out.
"Why are you so sure, Miss An?"
An Jiu subconsciously opened her mouth to say something, but the next moment she suddenly covered her mouth and glared at him fiercely, "I won't tell you!"
Pei Ji narrowed his eyes silently, smiled good-naturedly, and said no more.
What a stupid woman.
What he didn't expect was that she didn't reveal the existence of "Fei Yi". Although it didn't matter whether she exposed it or not, but...
Let her live a little longer.
Pei Ji felt a little complicated.
Pei Ji is him, and Fei Yi is also him, but the treatment the two receive in front of An Jiu is completely polarized.
Sure enough, once this woman falls in love with someone, she will foolishly give everything for that person.
Just like her love for He Ziqing in her previous life, she had an undisguised preference for him and even gave her life for him in the end.
[Pei Ji's favorability towards you +20, currently -59. ]
Just like what was written in the original book, the Dark Village incident was solved in a short time, and all the criminals were caught red-handed. And what was better than the plot was that this time they caught the person behind the scenes.
The owner of the Black Building was originally the Lord of Jiufang City. He colluded with the governor of Qingyang County, where Jiufang City was located, and the two of them established the Dark Village. Over the years, the Lord of the City made a lot of money from the Dark Village, and the Governor was promoted from the original Jiufang City County Magistrate to the Governor of Yifang County.
As for the county magistrate, he is still working in Qingyang City because he was promoted.
The host of the post was caught, and He Ziqing notified the constable to take him to the government office. The abducted women were also rescued, and were now being picked up by their respective families.
Of course, some people remain unclaimed, which is the limitation of this era.
After all, it was ancient times and people’s ideas were not so open.
Even in modern times, the concept of chastity exists in many underdeveloped areas, let alone the feudal and backward ancient society.
The first person to pick people up was the master of the Zhou family.
As soon as the Zhou family's father and daughter met, they hugged each other and cried bitterly. After crying, Master Zhou wanted to take Zhou Yuru home, but Zhou Yuru hesitated: "Dad, can I go back now?"
Master Zhou's face was stern. "Why can't I go back? I am Zhou Shihao's daughter, who can say anything bad about me? Daddy promises that if anyone dares to say bad things about you, I will bring people to tear his mouth apart!"
Zhou Yuru was very moved when she heard this, but she was used to being cautious and couldn't help but hesitate.
"But my brother and sister, their future..."
Zhou Shihao said, "My dear daughter, what are you worried about? Since Daddy has issued a bounty order, he has already discussed it with the family. Daddy has been traveling all over the country for business these years, and your mother died young. You are the only one who runs the family. Your brothers and sisters will not despise you. If they dare to despise you, Daddy will kick them out! Such a heartless person will bring disaster to my Zhou family if he stays."
After hearing what he said, Zhou Yuru finally let go of her grudges. She said with tears in her eyes, "Okay, Dad, I'll go home with you."
Master Zhou touched his round belly and said with a smile, "Silly daughter, if you don't go home, where else can you go? Come on, go home, today your father will welcome you back home!"
Zhou Yuru looked at a group of panicked and helpless women not far away, bit her lip, and thought of what the girl in red said to her, and said to Master Zhou: "Dad, those people are homeless, let's take them to our embroidery shop. It's not bad to become an embroiderer in the future."
Mr. Zhou was stunned for a moment, and seeing his daughter's pleading eyes, he sighed and said, "Okay! I'll do as you say."
Shortly after returning to the ground, Zhou Yuru, wearing a straw hat, led her maid to a teahouse.
A young girl in red had been waiting there for a long time. She had changed her clothes, which were still the fiery red. The fabric was precious brocade, and the patterns embroidered with gold thread on the dress were exquisite and luxurious. Her wrists, neck, and hair were all covered with emerald green, all shining with jewels.
Such an outfit would certainly look vulgar on an ordinary person, but the girl had a bright face and a natural and generous demeanor, which made people feel dazzling and beautiful.
The girl handed over a purse: "This is your reward."
Zhou Yuru touched it and found a thick stack of paper-like stuff. She immediately realized that it was silver bills.
She quickly shook her head and pushed the purse back: "Miss An, no need, your promise is enough."
In the secret village, Miss An told her privately that after the secret village was destroyed, she hoped she could take the unclaimed girls away.
In exchange, Miss An would ask her father to recommend her younger brother to enter the government, but the prerequisite was that her younger brother could pass the imperial examination.
Zhou Yuru agreed. Minister An's words were worth a thousand gold.
"Miss An, you are the one who saved them, why did you ask me to come forward?"
An Jiu picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, saying calmly: "I won't stay here for too long. I can't take care of them. I'll have to trouble you in the future."
Zhou Yuru's eyes were complicated, she felt that Miss An was two-faced in front of others and behind others. Although she felt surprised, since she had agreed, she would not go back on her word.
"It's all my responsibility. I will take good care of them."
