Jinyi Night Walk

Xia Xun rushed to Pengjiazhuang, and was invited into the inner house before the greetings. He came to a very important building. This was the place where the heads of the Peng family gathered to discuss important matters.

Previously, Xia Shi had informed the Peng family to clean up as soon as possible to avoid future troubles, so it was not surprising to see the Peng family being so cautious, but when he was brought to the back house, he heard that the Peng family had already fought against Jin Yiwei and arrested Jin Yiwei. When the four of them were together, they couldn't help but change suddenly.

He also didn't care that these people in front of him were his wife's elders, and he should maintain the obedience of the younger generation, and asked angrily: "Elders, what did I say in the letter? Why do you still take the initiative to make trouble? Peng Does the family really want to rebel?"

Mr. Peng was very embarrassed by his son-in-law Rong's questioning, so he had no choice but to explain the scriptures: "Son-in-law, it's not that we want to provoke them, but that they came into Peng's village at night and saw something they shouldn't see, so we have to do it.

Shocked, Xia Tao hurriedly asked, "What is it?"

Zhuang Zhuang said: "It's just some Taoist collections, scriptures, and idols worshiped by us. We are destroying them according to your instructions. Who would have thought that?"

Xia Tao's face turned serious, and he quickly asked, "Have you caught those people?"

Zhuang Zhuang said: "There are four people who sneaked into Zhuangzi, and they have all been caught. The other two who were watching the wind escaped, but they didn't see anything."

Peng Zhangqi also knew that this matter was too serious. Once something happened, it would not only be a catastrophe for the Peng family, but also Xia Xun's hereditary title of duke who retired with Daming would also be lost, maybe even his head. Worried and sad, he hurriedly said timidly: "Master, the situation at that time forced us to do something. If we let them escape back, we will immediately notify their people to break into our village. I'm afraid we won't have time to destroy all the things. For the four people we caught, we purposely made the noise louder. We only said to the outside world that thieves broke into the village to steal. When they captured the thieves, they resisted with weapons and were beaten to death by Min Zhuang. Now the bodies have been handed over to the Qingzhou Mansion. We searched them in advance and destroyed all the objects that could prove their identity, "

After Xia Tao was furious, he had already calmed down. He thought about it carefully, and asked again: "Is there anything in Zhuangzi that can be pointed out as evidence?"

Owner Peng hurriedly assured the ticket: "No, absolutely not. The Peng family has been cleaned up and down, and there is absolutely no evidence to be found."

After hearing this, Xia Tao pondered, pacing slowly in the hall while thinking.

All the elders of the Peng family were also heroes who poured blood on their heads and fought with swords in the past, but now they have sons and daughters, sons and feathers, and gray temples. The heroic spirit of the past has faded away. With such a big family dragged down by their relatives, they don't even have the courage to raise the flag to rebel, so they can only rely on this good son-in-law of the Peng family, and everyone is looking at him eagerly.

Seeing that Xia Shi didn't speak for a long time, the owner of Peng Zhuang added: "My son-in-law, with a radius of hundreds of miles, all the subordinates of the Peng family have been ordered, and our eyeliner is everywhere. Last night we deliberately said that we were catching thieves and went to Qingzhou. All the roads in the direction of the city have been sealed off by us, and the two fish that slipped through the net can only escape to other places, and their footsteps may not be able to go far, and they may be caught by us!"

Xia Tao shook his head and said: "If they really didn't see anything, it doesn't matter whether they live or die. Since I'm back, they dare not touch Pengjiazhuang before they are sure. It's a dumb thing, they If you don’t want to eat, you have to eat. However, now that they have made a move, I’m afraid they will be even more unwilling to let it go, Pengjiazhuang, it’s really good to have no excuses.”

After talking for a long while, I didn't know how many cards my opponent had, and I couldn't make any countermeasures in time, so I could only take one step at a time. Xia Shi told Master Peng that not only everything related to the White Lotus Sect would be destroyed. Go, and don't leave anything else that is prohibited.At the same time, he also reassured them that everything should be as usual, and they must not make a gesture of facing an enemy.

Zhuang Zhuang knew that this time he was fighting with the court, and it was a fight with the most vicious dog in the court. They were laymen in this regard and had to listen to Xia Tao, so they all agreed.

After everyone had finished their discussions and left in a hurry, only Xia Tao and Peng Ziqi were left in the empty hall. Seeing Xia Xun's thick eyebrows furrowed and worried, Peng Ziqi suddenly burst into tears. Said: "Master!"

Xia Tao was thinking about something, when he heard the sound and raised his head, Peng Ziqi knelt down in front of him, and said with tears streaming down his cheeks: "My husband, I am very happy after being married to my husband these years. My husband married the queen's sister , but don't dislike Zi Qi's humble background, and always give Zi Qi the status of a wife. It's the fault of the Peng family, and it has nothing to do with Mr. Xiang, just be ignorant of it."

Peng Ziqi choked up and said: "Now my husband is looking for a mistake in me, just find a mistake, just say, let's say that my husband arrived at Pengjiazhuang, just happened to meet Ziqi's disobedience and flirting with others, so my husband gave me a letter of divorce , Cut off the relationship with the Peng family from now on, if something happens to the Peng family, it may be possible to protect the husband Zhou Quan Xia Tao was very angry and funny, and quickly stepped forward to help her up, saying: "You, that stupidity has come up again, If this method can be kept comprehensive, wouldn't it be enough for all the officials in the world who have committed crimes to sever ties with their families in a hurry? "

Peng Ziqi was even more desperate when he heard it: "Well, if the incident really broke out and the court knew about it, it's better, it's better to let the Xianggong do it himself and take the lives of Ziqi's family.

It's a death anyway, it's better to die in the hands of the husband.Xianggong and the emperor have great kindness, if you show your heart like this, the emperor will definitely believe you, not to mention, Ming'er will protect you, you will be fine: but, our daughter is young and innocent, I beg you to save her."

Xia Tao shook his head and said: "The child is innocent, aren't you innocent? If it wasn't for me, Ji Gang might not necessarily find out about the Peng family. Zhang Qi, don't think wildly, the matter hasn't reached the point of despair, let's not mess with ourselves Stand! Don’t worry, I’m in charge of everything!”

He gently wiped away the tears from Peng Zhangqi's cheeks, hugged her in his arms, gently stroked her back, and said softly: "I betrayed the imperial court and went to the king of Yan. You don't want to be a good young miss of the Peng family. You live on the island and wait for you. You have paid more for me than me. In this life, we will live together, die together, and never leave! That kind of If you are heartless, don't say it again!"

"Master!"

Peng Ziqi was moved to tears, she raised her head to look at Xia Tao, her tearful eyes were full of relief and emotion, there are few men in this world who don't pay attention to career and future, but take the infatuation of a daughter's family so seriously of?She can have such a good husband, I don't know how many lifetimes of blessings she has cultivated!

Xia Tao held her slender shoulders, stared into her eyes, and said: "But, even if we can get through this crisis, what about the next time? The Peng family has such an identity, and it will be a serious problem after all: The Peng family insists on inheriting it." What is this incense for? Do you really believe in the birth of Maitreya and the birth of King Ming? Don’t you want to master a force so that the Peng family can inherit the family business and rely on it?

But this power brings not only power and security, but also slaughter and death. Does the Peng family still need to rely on this power that the court cannot tolerate?With the wealth and business connections that the Peng family has now, as long as the sons and daughters are up to the challenge, why not be able to replace the prosperity?If the disciples don't live up to their expectations, even if you give him an iron barrel, he will be defeated, let alone the altar master of a teaching altar? "

Xia Tao breathed a sigh of relief, and solemnly said to Peng Ziqi: "Ziqi, help me! Convince your father with me, as long as the Huaixi Peng family no longer exists in the White Lotus Sect, I will take responsibility for this matter." ! If you succeed, you will live; if you fail, you will die!"

While the two wives were talking intimately in the hall, a pile of high firewood cart creaked into Peng's house, and the old cow walked slowly to Peng's house. After a few words, he entered the Peng family compound through the side door.

A group of servants gathered around to kiss and moved the top firewood away. They saw Yin Shenghui and Zhang Puxin lying on the pile of firewood like fat pigs with four hooves, and their hair was covered with grass roots and leaves: their mouths Stuffed with a rag in the bag, staring at the top with big eyes, the big men above looked down on them with murderous looks. Zhong Canghai and Gao Xiang were in a small inn in Zihedian, gnawing pork head meat and drinking The low-quality shochu brewed in the countryside is really embarrassing.

The two drank wine sullenly, Zhong Canghai downed a glass of wine vigorously, wiped his mouth, glared at Gao Xiang and said, "Lao Liu, what should we do now?"

Gao Xiang took a mouthful of pork head meat, chewed it for a long time, then said: "Fourth Brother, Duke Fu has arrived, and I'm afraid there is nothing to do in Qingzhou."

Zhong Canghai stared and said: "Then what should we do? Four of them died, and the whereabouts of the remaining two, Xiao Yin, are now unknown. When did Jin Yiwei suffer such a big loss? Let's just forget it?"

Gao Xiang said hesitantly: "Fourth brother, don't be convinced, our Jin Yiwei has suffered a big loss at the hands of Duke Fu! Thinking back when Luo Heshi set up a net in the Zhongshan Palace, Duke Fu still came and went freely. At that time, Master Ji was still waving the flag and shouting at Duke Fu's hand: "

Zhong Canghai stopped talking after hearing this, and Gao Xiang drank again.The wine, smacking the taste, scolded fiercely: "Damn it, how much water did this unscrupulous shopkeeper mix!"

Zhong Canghai said angrily, "Do you still have the heart to drink?"

Gao Xiang said listlessly: "So what if you don't drink? Once Fu Guogong arrives, even Lord Ji is here, helpless. Let's drink some wine and rest earlier. Now, it depends on Puzi County. If you can get the real evidence, you will survive this game of dead chess!"
