The eldest lady just wants to be a crazy beauty

Chapter 39

"There is only one Pei family in the whole Puzhou. It just so happens that I am going to the Pei family to send a message, so let's go together."

The prison chief led the man to Pei Mansion, saying he was sending a message for Qin Ruizhi.

Pei Xingheng had been feeling very proud recently and was in a good mood, so he met the prison boss.

Although the Pei family burned down an entire commercial street and suffered heavy losses, Xiangzhou was unblocked and was in need of reconstruction. He immediately dispatched a caravan to transport urgently needed items to Xiangzhou for construction. What was in short supply was food and parcels. body cloth.

Considering that the people who suffered from the war had no silver in their hands, he established Guanglitong Trading Company in Xiangzhou. He used credit tokens to buy grain and clothes first, sign a loan contract, and then pay back the money. He could even use new grain to replace old grain after the autumn harvest. Debt, a large amount of debt was released in just a few days.

After the autumn harvest, the Pei family can not only recover these debts, but also obtain double or even triple the income.

"Is Qin Ruizhi unable to stay in jail any longer and asked you to send a message and prepare to kowtow and apologize to me? Go back and tell her that if she burns my Pei's shop, I will make her pay with her life."

This is very offensive.

The prison boss thought about Qin Ruizhi's explanation. When Pei Xingheng kicked his nose and hit him in the face, there was no need to give him face. "Miss Qin said, you'd better let her go, otherwise when she comes out, she will burn down your Pei family mansion." .”

One sentence threw Pei Xingheng's good mood into chaos, he puffed his beard and stared, "Okay, she is really hard-boned. Even the dark, damp and cold prison can't bend her back. Since she is so strong-willed, then just stay in the prison." .”

Pei Xingheng pointed at the old man, glared and said: "You, get out of here. If you don't get out, I'll set you on fire first."

The cell leader wanted to say something more, but Pei Xingheng picked up the teapot next to him and smashed it. The cell leader was so frightened that he ran away in a hurry.

But the people who followed him never left.

Pei Xingheng thought he was with the cell leader, so he raised the teapot and tried to hit him again, "If you still refuse to leave, do you believe I will hit you?"

The man in black clothes and holding a sword took a few steps back to avoid Pei Xingheng, "I'm Chu Yanning. I came from Gaoyang."

As he spoke, he took out a calfskin pouch from his waist and handed it to Pei Xingheng, "Send a message back for Mr. Pei."

"A letter from my father."

Pei Xingheng was overjoyed, threw away the teapot, took the brocade bag, took out the letter from it, opened it and saw that it was indeed his father's handwriting.

The letter stated that he had escaped from the life lawsuit. After he was released from prison, Lord Gao Chengying personally took care of him at Yingyuezhuang. During the dinner, he spoke sincerely, as the father of Quanquan said, hoping that the Pei family would forgive Qin Ruizhi for his ignorance of arson. All losses will be paid by the Gao family.

"Brother Chai is right. The Gao family treats Qin Ruizhi really differently."

After receiving the letter, Pei Xingheng was about to go find Governor Yan. Before leaving, he did not forget to make arrangements for Chu Yanning. "Brother Chu, thank you for your hard work. I will stay in the mansion today. I will go and take care of Qin Ruizhi's affairs." I’ll host a banquet for you when I come back.”

Then, he ordered Pei Guangshan to take Chu Yanning to the upper chamber, and sent two maids to serve him.

After that, he hurried to find Governor Yan.

After entering the west wing of the house, Chu Yanning looked at the maids serving tea and water and making the bed, and she really couldn't bear to lose Pei Xingheng's kindness.

"Sisters, you are busy first, I will take a walk as I please."

At first, Yan Ning wandered around the mansion at will, going around one courtyard after another. There were rockery pavilions, bamboo groves and courtyards all in the mansion.

As early as when he was in Gaoyang, he had heard that the Pei family in Puzhou was called the richest man in Puzhou. Now when he saw it, it was indeed the case. The decoration of the house in the mansion was no worse than that of the Kyoto family.The east courtyard is an orchard, with a few fruit trees planted here and there. The flowers have been ground into the dust, and small fruits are hanging from the branches.

Under the tree, a young man wearing crimson Tianshan brocade stood quietly with his hands behind his back.

Chu Yanning looked around and saw no one, so she walked over, knelt down on one knee, and clasped her fists in her hands, "My subordinates are joining His Majesty! All 11 people from Luosheng Hall are on standby, please give His Majesty's orders."

Chai Pei did not move, still standing upright, and his voice came faintly: "The coin furnace incident in Xiangzhou happened, and Tongli Court was arrested. According to the news from Xiangzhou, Tongli Court has been recruited and ordered to try Tongli Court." Liting is accompanied by military supervisor Yuan Qinian and former Xiangzhou judicial officer Zheng Pin, who will escort Tongliting to Beijing in the near future and find a way to kill them."

"Yes, my subordinates obey."

Chu Yanning received the order and left the east courtyard, avoiding the servants of Pei Mansion and leaving the house.

Twenty miles east of the city, a pair of men and horses were resting there. A group of people were wearing black clothes and felt hats. Their faces were unclear.

The leader held a sword in his hand and a long bow and quiver on his back.

When he saw Chu Yanning coming on horseback, he immediately rode towards her and the two of them rode side by side.

Sounds are passed between each other.

Chu Yanning: "The military supervisor Yuan Qinian and the former Xiangzhou judicial officer Zheng Pin will escort Tongli Ting to Beijing. On His Highness's order, they will be killed."

The man opposite him visibly hesitated. His voice was hoarse and he was clearly suppressing his tone. "Zheng Pin is Prime Minister Zheng's old son. If we kill him, will Prime Minister Zheng just let it go?"

Chu Yanning's eyes turned cold, "If we don't kill him and let him take Tongli Ting to Beijing, we will die. The 30 troops stationed in Beiting, General Chai's entire family, and even His Highness and the Imperial Concubine will die. "

Setting up a private money-making workshop is inherently a capital crime.

What's more, King Xiang also used the money from the private money-making workshop to rebel. This is a serious crime that adds death to death.

"Okay, I will set up an ambush where they leave Xiangzhou and pass by the border of Puzhou. If they fail, I will find a way to force them into Puzhou, and I will leave the rest to you."

After saying that, the man reined in his horse, walked back to his companions, whispered something, and then the group whipped their horses and left.

In the Puzhou prison, Pei Xingheng looked at Qin Ruizhi lying on the haystack with her legs crossed, feeling helpless.

He found Governor Yan and dismissed Qin Ruizhi's crime of arson. He would no longer pursue the case and the Pei family would be responsible for all losses.

But Qin Ruizhi took Qiao and refused to leave the prison.

"Qin Ruizhi, let me say it one last time, are you leaving or not? If you don't leave, you will... just wait to be sentenced to death, right? Don't be ignorant of life and death. I will give you a way to survive."

"I won't leave." Qin Ruizhi didn't even look at her, she was very proud, "Catch me if you want to, let me go if you want to let me go, do you think I'm a member of the Gao family who is so easy to call around? ?I won’t leave and will wait for my uncle to come pick me up in person, and then ask my uncle to help me with my judgment. Madam Sun Xiuyang set up a trap in Whirlpool Ridge to ambush me. You helped this poisonous woman cheat me out of 5000 taels of silver. How should the account be settled? I don’t believe it, there is no justice in this world.”

The uncles of the Gao family personally came forward to intercede for Qin Ruizhi, so the favor was not in vain.
