Chapter 22
After a while, Pei Songde brought a lacquered wooden box, opened it, and inside was a thick pile of land property.

Pei Songde handed the box to Hang Feijue with a cold face, "There are one hundred and five land deeds inside, click on it!"

Hang Feijue took it over, counted it carefully, then nodded and said, "One piece is not bad."

He handed the paper in his hand to Pei Songde, Pei Songde opened it, glanced at it, and put it in his cuff solemnly.

Hang Feijue waved his hand and was about to take everyone away, but Chen Miao suddenly took a step forward and called him to stop: "Young Master Hang, please stay."

Hang Feijue turned around playfully, and said with a light smile, "What advice does Miss Chen have?"

Chen Miao bit her red lips and asked, "You said that Pei Jing also injured the official's son? The government is already looking for him everywhere?"

Hang Feijue laughed softly: "This matter is absolutely true. Although Liu Shuli's official position is small, he is very useful in front of Mr. Cao. Pei Jing hurt his son, Liu Shuli will naturally not let it go."

He pondered for a while, "However, if you are willing to spend some money and establish a good relationship with Mr. Cao, you may be able to help Pei Jing avoid disaster. Otherwise, with Pei Jing's body, if you go to prison, you will have to escape for a while if you don't die." Layers of skin."

Chen Miao took a deep breath, she didn't expect the matter to be so difficult.

She asked again: "Pei Jing's loss has something to do with you, right?"

Hang Feijue was silent for a while: "Yes, but I was also entrusted by others, and I owed them a favor."

Chen Miao said lightly: "I understand. The injustice has a leader, and the debt has an owner. Please go ahead!"

Hang Feijue was about to turn around, and suddenly smiled: "It would have been nice if you had followed me back then, you see you have a lot of bad luck, and you can't even survive An's birthday."

Chen Miao's complexion changed, but Pei Songde suddenly interrupted him: "You should leave quickly! You are not welcome in the Pei family!"

Hang Feijue smiled indifferently and led the people away.

Seeing that everyone was gone, Lu couldn't help asking: "Miaoer, how do you know such a person?"

Seeing that Pei Songde also had doubts on his face, Chen Miao could only smile wryly and said, "At the beginning, he was the one who ruined my family, so he can still be regarded as my enemy."

Chen Miao briefly talked about the family affairs, and Pei Songde and Lu's were stunned.

At the beginning, she only thought that Chen Miao's family background was ordinary, but she did not expect it to be so extraordinary.

No wonder Chen Miao's words and demeanor revealed something unusual, she turned out to be a girl from a rich family.

It's just that no one expected that fate would play tricks on people in such a way that this girl would experience family ruin twice in a row in just a few months.

But Chen Miao didn't care about these things, she just said in a solemn voice: "Father and mother, when my family was in trouble, I told my father that when the money is gone, we still have our own hands, but if people are gone, what will happen?" There is no more. So, parents, you have to carry on no matter what, the land is gone, we will continue to earn it back with our own hands, but you must take care of your health!"

Lu suddenly lost all strength in his body, fell down on the chair, and said sadly: "Pei Jing's father has worked so hard for 20 years to earn his family business, and he just lost it. What can we do now!"

Pei Yue threw herself into her arms, crying loudly.

Pei Songde suddenly raised his head and said angrily: "Where's that kid Pei Jing? Dare to do such a thing, but don't have the guts to go home?"

Butler Wang, who was standing aside, bowed and said, "Yes, master, the young master hasn't come back yet."

Chen Miao said: "Father, now we still have to think of a way, how to get the government to revoke the arrest of Pei Jing, I'm afraid this matter, what Hang Feijue said is true, it really needs to spend some money."

Pei Songde sneered: "I think it's better to let that bastard go to the cell and suffer for a few days!"

That being said, in the end Pei Songde took some money and went to the government office, but when he came back, his face was even more serious than the night before dawn.

"What's the matter?" Lu asked repeatedly when he saw him.

Pei Songde said with a cold face: "What else can I do? County magistrate Cao is willing to see me, but he just pretends to be business-like, saying that since he hurt someone, he must be punished."

Lu asked in panic, "What kind of punishment will you receive like that?"

Pei Songde snorted: "It will be dozens of boards! Or there will be a prison sentence. Magistrate Cao didn't say it very clearly, but it means that."

Lu covered her face and wept, "Jing'er has always been in poor health, how could she endure such torture!"

Pei Songde snorted coldly: "He should have received such a lesson a long time ago! This call came too late!"

He looked left and right, but he still didn't see Pei Jing, and he became even more angry: "Has he not been found yet?"

Chen Miao, who was standing by the side, shook her head: "No, I haven't seen him come back." She raised her head and said, "Father, since County Magistrate Cao's words were vague, I'm afraid he just wants money, or else you can try it out?"

Although Pei Jing is incompetent, she can't just look at the elders of the Pei family here and feel sad.

Pei Songde sighed: "The county yamen is a bottomless pit. I took ten taels of silver to find out the news. The money was all spent, but I only got two words from the county magistrate Cao. What else can I do? I When I came back, there was already a portrait of that kid on the intersection, and now the whole city is arresting him. I hope now that he won’t come back.”

Chen Miao lowered her head and thought for a while, thinking that what Hang Feijue said was right, if she really wanted to save Pei Jing, the money would have to be spent.

She took a deep breath and said, "Father, if we really want to save Pei Jing, we have to be willing to spend money. You can simply ask the magistrate Cao, how much money will he have to withdraw Pei Jing's wanted arrest, and how much money will he have to pay?" Let Liu Shuli not trouble Pei Jing any more?"

Pei Songde gritted his teeth and thought for a while, then slapped his thigh for the last time, and said loudly: "That's all! Who told me to have such an evil obstacle!" He turned his head and strode away.

Seeing that it was almost noon, Chen Miao quickly leaned over and said, "Mother, let's have some food first."

Lu smiled wryly, "I don't have the heart to eat now."

Chen Miao whispered a few more words of comfort, and helped Mrs. Lu to the dining room.

The two ate some food casually, and Pei Songde came back just after eating.

Although his face was gloomy, he looked better than in the morning.

A glimmer of hope arose in the Lu family, and he asked, "How, can magistrate Cao relax?"

Chen Miao hurriedly took the teacup and stepped forward, Pei Songde shook his hand and said with a wry smile: "There is a glimmer of hope, but if we really follow his wishes, I'm afraid we will really go bankrupt."

Lu's face turned pale with shock: "Why?"

Pei Songde said angrily: "Liu Shuli insisted on it, and threatened that if he wanted to settle the matter privately, he would have to pay 3000 taels of silver! Otherwise, he would never let it go!"
