stern wife

Chapter 771
After listening to the adjutant's narration, Pei Xingshan's tall and lean body trembled slightly, and he almost collapsed to the ground.

Various images frantically flashed through his mind, such as being pushed to the guillotine.

Another example is his father's expression full of disappointment and indifference when he learned about it...

Pei Xingshan dreamed of winning his father's favor, so of course he would not tolerate such a thing happening.

However, the amount of food and grass lost is too large, where will he raise money to fill this huge vacancy?
The Pei family was not short of money, but once his father noticed something strange, it would be too easy to find out about it.

As for his friends...

On the contrary, they are all from high families, and they are not short of money.

However, once this matter is known to outsiders, there is a risk of being leaked.

This was a matter of his life, and Pei Xingshan was full of distrust of the friends he trusted in the past, and he dared not use them.

Looking up at the vast and vast sky, Pei Xingshan took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down.

He thought about it, and finally, he finally came up with a method that was barely usable.

That is to find a complete stranger to borrow money.

The other party doesn't know what happened to him, so naturally he makes up whatever he makes up, and the other party will believe it.

After this matter is resolved, he will clean up all the people who know about it.

At that time, this incident will be completely erased from his life as if it never happened.

But Zhijing is rich, so it is not difficult to find a wealthy household.

Coincidentally, when Pei Xingshan sent someone to inquire about the news of the wealthy households in Zhijing, he heard that the daughter of a family had gone to visit distant relatives and was on her way home.

And this family was also the Wu family with the best reputation and business in Beijing at that time.

It was a godsend.

Pei Xingshan immediately decided to approach the rich family's daughter, and borrow money from the Wu family through her.

And it was too easy for Pei Xingshan to quickly capture the heart of an uneducated little girl who hadn't left the court.

In order to be safe, he called his younger brother Pei Zengshan, who had the same father and mother, and asked him to help implement his plan together.

Pei Xingshan first sent someone to investigate the route for the daughter of the Wu family to go home.

Then let his younger brother Pei Zengshan pretend to be a robber who robbed the road, and took a few people to the route where Wu's daughter went home, laying in wait in advance.

And then, a good show of "hero saving the beauty" was staged as scheduled.

In order to make this play more realistic, Pei Xingshan even asked Pei Zengshan to kill a few people around Wu's daughter, such as the coachman, or the girls accompanying her.

It was the first time for Wu Wenying, the daughter of the Wu family to visit relatives alone, where had she seen such cruel and bloody scenes?

So, as expected, he was grateful to Pei Xingshan who jumped out in time to save her.

Little did they know that the person who saved her was the black hand behind the plot to kill the people around her.

The innocent Wu Wenying was still in shock and did not dare to go any further. She wanted to write a letter home and ask her parents to come and pick her up.

Seeing this, Pei Xingshan immediately suggested that he could take her home.

Moreover, he was also very worried about her safety, and he could only feel relieved if he personally sent her home.

As the man who appeared to save her when she was most helpless, in Wu Wenying's view, he was undoubtedly a 'god'.

Moreover, the other party was still so generous and considerate, which made her feel good about him all of a sudden.

So, on the next journey, there was a handsome young man by her side.

The young man cared for her and asked her well.

He also took her to see a doctor, and after repeatedly confirming to the doctor that she was not injured, he took her away.

Apart from her own family, this should be the first outsider who has treated her so well.

This made Wu Wenying feel that she should have met someone she could entrust to her for life.

She took him back to her home.

However, in front of the gate of his own house, the other party refused to enter and insisted on saying goodbye and leaving.

Of course, this was just Pei Xingshan's acting.

After pretending to refuse a few times, Pei Xingshan finally agreed to Wu Wenying's request "reluctantly" and entered Wu's house as a guest.

After hearing about their daughter's experience, the whole Wu family was very grateful to Pei Xingshan.

They kept him and treated him with great hospitality.

After the two parties got to know each other a little bit better, Pei Xingshan used the 'Jiu Jin' to express his troubles.

He said that the reason why he met Ms. Wu on the road was because he was chasing bandits.

He did not hide his identity, but told the Wu family honestly that he was born in the Pei family in Zhijing, and now he is a grain and grass officer, and he is carrying out the task of delivering grain and grass.

But just a few days ago, his adjutant rebelled, colluded with the bandits, drugged his food, and together with the bandits, stole more than half of the grain and grass.

When he thought that the soldiers on the frontier were waiting for their rations, he was so anxious that he led his people around to track down the whereabouts of the bandits.

By chance, I met Miss Wu who was robbed by bandits and rescued her.

In Zhijing, only one Pei family is particularly famous.

The members of the Wu family were taken aback. They didn't expect Pei Xingshan to have such a big background, so they paid more attention to entertaining him.

But the next day, people from the Wu family went out to inquire and found that what Pei Xingshan said was indeed true.

However, Pei Xingshan wanted to leave early in the morning.

He said righteously that no matter what method he used, even if he knelt down to beg, he must try his best to collect money, buy food and grass, and send it to the soldiers at the border.

When the members of the Wu family heard this, they were immediately moved by his awe-inspiring righteousness.

On second thought, he saved his own daughter's life.

The so-called kindness of dripping water is reciprocated by springs. It just so happens that the Wu family is not short of money, and what they do is a good thing. Why not do it?

Therefore, after a little discussion, the members of the Wu family decided that, even if they used up all their property, they would still help Pei Xingshan raise this sum of money!
It was with the help of the Wu family that Pei Xingshan was able to escape this catastrophe.

Later, in order to prevent the Wu family from exposing him, he married Wu Wenying as his wife.

He asked the Wu family to keep him secret, and the Wu family would naturally not refuse.

It's a pity that after Pei Xingshan married Wu Wenying, he didn't treat his great benefactor well. Instead, he ignored her and completely treated her as an 'abandoned child'.

As for the Wu family, their vitality has also been severely damaged since then, and almost all shops have been closed.

However, because we never falsify or deceive customers when doing business.

On the basis of the previous good reputation, the Wu family quickly made a comeback, and gradually, the business expanded again.

Originally, Pei Xingshan planned to find a way to kill all the members of the Wu family, just like other people who knew about it, so as to prevent future troubles.

However, the Wu family's reputation is really good, and they have a very wide network of contacts.

If something happens, it must have a great impact, maybe it will steal the chicken and lose the rice.

So, as a last resort, Pei Xingshan had no choice but to give up this idea.

However, the members of the Wu family were quite obedient and never mentioned this matter to anyone, which also made Pei Xingshan gradually reduce his killing intent towards them.
