stern wife

Chapter 265 I Have a Good Solution
Seeing Pei Xingshan's pale face in an instant, Pei Xiaoran secretly smiled.

She said that on purpose, and she can be sure that her father will definitely think of the frontier affairs in Xijiang.

And once it involves the western border, such a trivial matter as the theft of rewards, the Holy One will naturally not care about it anymore.

When the time comes, it will be unlucky, but it will become Pei Xingshan.

Didn't Pei Xingshan always like to push her out as a shield?

Then let her dear father experience what it's like to be pushed out as a shield!
Pei Xingshan snorted coldly, then changed the subject stiffly:

"The things were lost in your yard. It's impossible for the people in your yard to hear nothing, right? Tell me the truth, did you hide those things yourself?"

As soon as these words came out, Wu and the others secretly broke into a cold sweat for Pei Xiaoran.

Pei Xingshan is not as easy to fool as the old lady.

He is the head of the Pei family, and there are many people who can use him. If he really pursues it, Pei Xiaoran may really be exposed.

Pei Xiaoran didn't panic at all, but opened her eyes wide and asked her father innocently:

"That was something the Holy Majesty gave me. Why should I hide it? Besides, it's already in my yard. Where else can I hide it?"

Just as he was talking, people came in one after another from outside and reported to Pei Xingshan:

"Go back to the master, nothing suspicious was found in the young master's yard."

"Go back to the master, there is nothing extra in the second lady's yard."

"Go back to the master, there is no one in the third young master's yard."

"Master, there are quite a few treasures in the fourth young master's yard, but they are all given by the old lady. I have already confirmed it to the old lady."

The people in charge of searching Pei Xiaoran's yard also withdrew from the house one after another, shaking their heads in unison.

Pei Xiaoran blinked her big watery eyes, raised her small face and looked at her father flickeringly.

Pei Xingshan frowned, because he really didn't believe that Ling Yu alone was able to steal so many rewards without anyone finding out.

It's true that Ling Yu belongs to the old lady, but why should the old lady steal it if she wants a reward?Even if he came directly to ask Pei Xiaoran, he didn't dare not give it.

And even if Ling Yu has an accomplice to help, the people in charge of guarding the gate should know about it, right?

But the several people in charge of guarding the gate have all been arrested and interrogated, but there is no clue at all.

Those things couldn't have grown wings and flew away from above, right?
Or did they burrow and slip away from below?

and many more……

A flash of inspiration flashed in Pei Xingshan's mind, and he glared at Pei Xiaoran suddenly.

Pei Xiaoran was startled, and asked in a low voice:
"Dad, daddy...what's the matter?"

No, not possible.

Pei's house does have authentic tunnels, and there are many entrances, not only in every warehouse, but also in bedrooms or study rooms, for the convenience of transferring property or escaping.

But these entrances are quite hidden, and only the Patriarch and Patriarch's heirs of each generation are eligible to know.

Only Pei Xingshan, Pei Wenchang, Pei Zengshan and his eldest son Pei Xinlin were the only ones who knew about it in this generation.

Pei Xingshan would know, thanks to the old confidant who was with his father and was responsible for keeping the distribution map of the Pei family's tunnels.

If it weren't for this old confidant, perhaps Pei Xingshan wouldn't know about it.

Because in Pei Xingshan's father's eyes, Pei Xingshan, a concubine, was definitely not among the options for the quasi-heir of the Pei family.

Thinking of those unpleasant past events, Pei Xingshan pursed his lips, his face became more and more gloomy.

However, among the people who knew about it, none of them would tell Pei Xiaoran about the tunnel entrances, so Pei Xiaoran ruled out the suspicion.

Could it be Pei Wenchang?

No, if Pei Wenchang wants it, let the old lady come and ask for it, why sneak around?
So... is it Pei Zengshan or Pei Xinlin?
That's not right, those two people didn't have the key to Pei Xiaoran's warehouse.

Could it be... is it really Ling Yu?

But how did she find the tunnel entrance in the warehouse?
It was obviously just an ordinary theft case, but Pei Xingshan, who thought he was smart, couldn't figure it out.

Of course he would never have thought that his prostitute was not only reborn, but also reborn with countless memories from her previous life.

In the previous life, after Pei Xingshan's death, there was almost no one left in the Pei family who could be the head of the next generation.

At that time, Pei Xiaoran's brothers all died on the battlefield, and Pei Wenchang also died in an accident, leaving only the little bastard born to Aunt Zhao and some immature children left by the brothers in the house.

Pei Xingshan's confidantes saw that Pei Xiaoran was very powerful at the time, and that she was both a queen and a general, so they treated her as the head of the Pei family and handed over to her some important things that Pei Xingshan had left behind.

Among them, there is naturally a map of the Pei family's tunnel.

Pei Xiaoran is extremely sensitive to maps, because a map is an indispensable thing in a war, and it will also play an extremely important role in a war.

Therefore, over time, Pei Xiaoran can remember every map as long as he glances at it in front of him.

She simply drew a map of the tunnel leading from the outside of Pei's mansion to her storeroom, and handed it to her cousin Wu Ziying, telling him to act after nightfall.

Hearing that there are a lot of things, Wu Ziying borrowed a lot of manpower from his father, and soon after Pei Xiaoran brought Han Chan back to Pei Mansion, he brought people over and found an inn near Pei Mansion to stay temporarily.

Of course, selling things rewarded by the emperor at the feet of the emperor may be troublesome once someone finds out.

So Pei Xiaoran discussed with Wu Ziying that after transporting these things back to Wu's house, they would hand them over to Pei Xiaoran's second uncle, Wu Shaoling, to help him sell them.

Because Wu Shaoling has been doing business outside all year round, he has channels and connections, not only can he sell things at a good price, but he can also sell things far away.

Since it is sold far away, it is naturally difficult for the Holy One to find out.

"Daddy~"

Pei Xiaoran suddenly called out.

Pei Xingshan frowned subconsciously and asked:

"how?"

Pei Xiaoran lowered his head to meet his fingers, and said a little embarrassedly:
"Didn't Dad say that if the imperial gift is damaged or stolen, it is a serious crime to beheaded? Daughter, daughter has a way..."

Pei Xingshan's eyelids twitched violently for some reason, and asked suspiciously:
"What can you do?"

Pei Xiaoran turned his head to look at Han Chan, and whispered a few words.

Han Chan immediately ran into the house, and when she came out after a while, she already had a gift list in her hand.

——Exactly the one that Eunuch Zhao once read out.

Pei Xiaoran took the gift list, then walked up to Pei Xingshan, offered it with both hands, and said:
"Since the things are lost, Dad will buy another copy according to the gift list and put it here, isn't it all right? After buying the things and putting them here, he will say that the theft is just a rumor. If anyone doesn't believe it , bring people here to take a look, and no one will bring up this matter again, wouldn't it be possible to avoid the crime of beheading?"

Sure enough, the eyelids did not jump in vain.
