Chapter 33 What's Wrong
"What do I want to do?"

Qin Ruizhi narrowed her eyes in a dangerous arc and approached step by step.

Pei Xingheng retreated continuously. Because one of his ribs was broken, the pain was unbearable, and his retreating posture was also very weird and twisted.

When approaching Pei Xingheng, Qin Ruizhi suddenly stopped, raised his hand, pulled out the knife embedded in the ground, and held a knife in his backhand. The blade of the knife brushed against the crook of his arm, wiping away the dirt brought up by the tip of the knife.

Under the morning sun, the blade of the knife suddenly became cold and shone with silver light.

With a slight shake of his hand, the light of the sword was refracted and fell just on Pei Xingheng's face.

"What do you say I want to do?"

Threat, intimidation.

Pei Xingheng was well aware of Qin Ruizhi's threat, but he still wanted to take a chance and gritted his teeth and said: "Qin Ruizhi, Puzhou is my Pei family's territory. You are an orphan, isolated and helpless in Puzhou, and I'm afraid you will not be able to survive." I don’t even know how I died. I advise you, it’s best to let me go immediately, so that I can forget the blame and spare your life. Otherwise, with the Pei family’s hundreds of years of management in Puzhou, you dare to hurt me at all, I will let you die without a burial place."

This sounds really ridiculous, especially like a dying struggle before death.

"Dare I hurt you at all?"

Qin Ruizhi held the knife and walked over with elegant steps, stepped on Pei Xingheng under her feet, and smiled half-heartedly, "I just heard a creak, was it a broken rib? But I was far away and didn't hear clearly, so Prepare to hear it more clearly this time. Otherwise, why don't you prick up your ears and listen?"

Pei Xingheng was sweating profusely in pain, and stared at Qin Ruizhi with his eyes.

waiting.

After a while, the knife has not fallen, and the foot on it has not yet exerted any force.

Pei Xingheng saw the opportunity, twisted half of his body unbearably, lay at Qin Ruizhi's feet, hugged her thighs, and wailed: "Miss, I know I was wrong, and I will never dare to do it again. Please The old man is generous and spares my life.”

Qin Ruizhi squatted half-crouched, holding his chin with one hand, and holding a knife with the other. The knife was only a finger's distance from Pei Xingheng's neck. A little force could cause him to splatter blood on the spot.

"Tell me, where did you go wrong?"

Pei Xingheng glanced at the shimmering blade and swallowed. Fear filled his heart, and he no longer cared about the pain of broken ribs.

He said: "I defrauded the eldest lady of 5000 taels of silver, and I forged the loan deed. I first deceived the eldest lady into signing her name on the book fold, then cut out the book fold, and wrote the loan deed, which was the same as the one signed before. The names just match. When the time is right, I will go to the Gao Mansion to ask the eldest lady to collect the debt."

"Second question, who ordered you to do this?"

Pei Xingheng answered simply, "Mrs. Banquet Sun Xiuyang."

It turned out to be Sun Xiuyang?

Qin Ruizhi had always thought that it was Su Yiling's instigation. The Pei family wanted to use Su Yiling's influence to open a Guangli Tong store in Kyoto. Su Yiling hated her for blackmailing 1 taels of silver, so she ordered the Pei family to target Qin Ruizhi.

Now that I think about it, she seems to be on the small side.

How could the dignified Prime Minister Zuo care about such a trivial matter as a mere 1 taels?

Even if he wanted to take revenge on her, he would not use such despicable means as forging a loan deed.

Qin Ruizhi said nothing and glanced at Pei Xingheng.With just one look, Pei Xingheng understood the truth and said truthfully, "Mrs. Yan's ambush on you in Whirlpool Ridge was exposed. She was afraid of being sued for life, so she went to Gaofu to apologize with a generous gift, a full 5000 taels. My father is in Kyoto. The establishment of the Guanglitong business was hampered by obstacles and there was no progress. Mrs. Yan came to me and said that she would help plead with Prime Minister Su. As long as Prime Minister Su said a word, all the yamen in Kyoto would be able to go smoothly, but the condition was that I needed to get the money back for her. 5000 taels of silver sent to Gaofu."

Speaking of this, Pei Xingheng paused, looked at Qin Ruizhi's stern face, his eyes flickered, and then said: "At first, I proposed to Madam Yan that I should pay for the money she sent to the palace. Miss, are you in the whirlpool? Ling suffered a serious crime and almost lost his life. Everyone has a heart of compassion. It is reasonable for you to take 5000 taels of silver. It is only 5000 taels. The Pei family has a lot of silver, so of course they don't care. But she didn't agree. …”

"It's really that she doesn't agree..." Pei Xingheng hugged Qin Ruizhi's thigh and emphasized again and again, "It's just that Mrs. Yan doesn't agree. I have to give you a punishment and let you know the consequences of offending the Yan family. I have no choice but to do this." Then. I took the money from Gao Mansion and sent it to Yan Mansion. Miss, I can swear to God that I really did not covet your money. "

So that’s the story.

Qin Ruizhi stood up, kicked Pei Xingheng away, and put the knife on his shoulder, "The third thing, will you pay back the money?"

"Repay it, definitely pay it back, right away." Pei Xingheng lay on the ground, sweating profusely, half of his life was taken away from the pain, pitifully, "As long as the eldest lady sends me back to Pei's house, I will immediately offer 5000 taels of silver with both hands. By the way As long as the eldest lady does not pursue the matter, the Pei family will be grateful."

"Okay, go back to Pei Mansion and get the money."

Then, without knowing who Pei Xingheng was, Qin Ruizhi grabbed Pei Xingheng and pulled him onto the carriage, pulling his broken ribs, causing him to scream in pain.

However, Qin Ruizhi kept walking, walked to the carriage, picked up Pei Xingheng, threw him into the carriage, sat in the driver's seat, picked up the riding whip, shouted, and ran away with the whip raised.

Due to the inertia, Pei Xingheng was hit from the front of the car into the parking space again, and the injury of broken ribs became even more painful.

The carriage raised dust and sped away, and the galloping wind lifted the curtains from time to time.

Pei Xingheng was lying in the car, huddled in the corner, when a gust of wind blew up and lifted a corner of the car curtain.

Under the car curtain, Qin Ruizhi's knife lay there quietly.

The knife was in Qin Ruizhi's back, and she was concentrating on driving.

Maybe this night is an opportunity.

Pei Xingheng licked his lips, struggled to climb to the car door, and quietly stretched out his hand to reach for the knife. As soon as his fingertips touched the back of the knife, a fierce whip fell from the sky and landed on his hand, and a red streak appeared immediately. print.

What followed was Pei Xingheng's scream.

"Ah~"

"Mr. Pei, be honest. If you are not honest, the next time you are whipped will not be a whip, but a knife directly stabbed at you."

Qin Ruizhi didn't look back, her voice was soft and gentle, but it revealed endless lethality.

Pei Xingheng gave up completely and lay down in the carriage, not daring to move anymore. The carriage jolted, causing pain all over his body, and he didn't dare to call out.

Everyone in Pei's mansion was already in a state of chaos.

The house Pei Chengyu bought in Kyoto was involved in a life-and-death lawsuit. The eldest young master went out for a drink and disappeared for no reason.

The door of Pei's house.

Qin Ruizhi tightened the reins, opened the curtain, and shouted to Pei Xingheng: "Mr. Pei, we're home!"
