Pei Jian was filled with fear and came to the door of Cui's house crying. He knocked on the door for a long time, but no one answered.
The Cui family’s courtyard was pitch dark.
To Pei Jian at this moment, it seemed like a man-eating evil ghost - it swallowed up Xian Di coldly and cruelly.
In the morning, the two brothers met here, and Xian's younger brother handed him some pastries.
How could such a horrific thing happen in just one day?
Pei Jian sat outside Cui's house and burst into tears.
This was the first time in his life that he experienced such a terrifying thing—
It turns out that those little clever things he thought he was doing were not really clever.
Sometimes, it can even result in death!
But Pei Jian still held a glimmer of hope.
He staggered to his feet, ran to Mr. Dong Lai's house and knocked on the door, but Mr. Dong Lai was not at home.
then.
Pei Jian rushed to the county government office again.
He had just finished the county examination today and the county government was under martial law, so of course he couldn't find out anything.
Under normal circumstances, with his brain, he could think of several ways to get information in the blink of an eye.
But now, he doesn't dare.
The old housekeeper had said before: This matter must not be made public.
This reminded Pei Jian. He was afraid that if he made inquiries on his own initiative, he would cause trouble and harm his younger brother Xian again.
No, he has already screwed Brother Xian badly!
Thinking of this, Pei Jian slapped himself in the face, and his whole body was overwhelmed by self-blame and fear.
"I'm sorry... I'm so sorry... I didn't know it would be like this... Woohoo... I'm too stupid to keep up with you... I thought this was the last thing I could do for you..."
The streets were dark.
A young boy staggered among them, crying heartbreakingly, his face full of despair.
He didn't even dare to think... If Cui Xian was really involved in this, what kind of punishment would he suffer? Imprisonment? Confiscation of property? Exile? Or even... execution?
Think of this.
Pei Jian's face turned pale and he shuddered suddenly.
no!
A brilliant young man like Xiandi should leave Nanyang, go to Kaifeng, go to the capital, shine in the Daliang Dynasty, and leave a strong mark in history.
Instead of being implicated by a stupid, ignorant, and self-righteous dude, and ending up with such a miserable end.
He gathered all his strength and staggered all the way home.
There were lanterns hanging at the entrance of Pei's house. Pei Chongqing stood outside the door with a sullen face. His expression was obscure under the light.
Pei Jian seemed to have found a life-saving straw.
He ran over crying, knelt down on the cold ground, and begged in a trembling voice: "Grandfather, I know I was wrong. I know I was wrong! I feel so uncomfortable and scared now!"
"It was my grandson who took the initiative to register my brother Xian! This has nothing to do with him. Please, take my grandson to report to the police tomorrow morning!"
"Brother Xian is innocent, and I can't harm him!"
