Chapter 132 What a Beast
"Rebellious son, are you crazy? What are you talking about? Who is the next person to die?" Pei Yunshan said gritting his teeth, and his arrogance had dropped a bit halfway through his words.
At that moment, he suddenly understood a lot. Pei Xun's eyes, the old Taoist priest in Qingcheng Mountain, the 50,000 taels of silver, the rash on Liu Wan'er and her daughter, all of these were set up by Pei Jin. He hated himself for believing him so easily, believing that he valued his reputation and his future and would never do anything outrageous.
"Father, isn't what I just said clear enough?" Pei Jin lowered his eyes, took out the jade hairpin from his sleeve and laughed softly, "Even a tiger won't eat its own cubs, you are such a beast, you didn't even let your own grandson go."
"Who are you talking about?" Pei Yunshan's face turned pale and he argued loudly, "I have nothing to do with the death of Chan Yi and An Er. It was all your mother, that vicious woman, who was responsible for everything."
"Father, I didn't say anything about you. Why are you feeling guilty?" Pei Jin glanced at him and said slowly, "In Haitang Courtyard, your son has placed tablets for Aunt Liu and Yun'er for you. I'm sure father must miss them very much. Someone, hurry up and send the Marquis to Haitang Courtyard to express his grief so that the family can be reunited. It's a pity that the second brother is still missing."
"How dare you..." Pei Yunshan was about to jump up and curse him loudly, but was blocked by the man in black and dragged out.
"Shenzhi, will you..." Mrs. Wang looked at her son worriedly, rubbing her chest with one hand.
"Mother, he is unkind and I am unjust." Pei Jin snorted coldly, "You still don't understand. If I hadn't suppressed him, he would have killed you just now!"
Mrs. Wang sat down dejectedly, feeling depressed and anxious. This huge mansion was about to fall into decline.
"Go and capture Pei Xun for me!" Pei Jin gave an order, and the men in black filed out.
"Where is the second brother?" Mrs. Wang asked in surprise.
"He is not stupid. He doesn't want to go back to the mansion and hides outside secretly. If Pei Yunshan gains power, he can return to the mansion in a show of force. If Pei Yunshan is controlled by us, he can also sneak out of the capital and find a place to hide."
Mrs. Wang sighed slightly, but didn't say anything else.
In the Dali Temple death row, a ragged woman covered in blood was leaning against the railing and laughing loudly. Her sinister laughter gave people goose bumps.
"Stop laughing, or I'll sew your mouth shut!" the jailer shouted, hitting the railing with the handle of his knife.
“Hahaha… haha… that’s great… my death is approaching… haha…” The woman laughed and stared at the wall opposite the cell with her bloody, empty eyes, muttering to herself over and over again.
"Yes, you are about to die. Be quiet and tell me everything you know. Maybe you will die quickly." The jailer said sarcastically, and used the back of his knife to slap the woman's hands that were tightly clenched on the railing.
"Three months at most." The woman put away her bloody hands, and suddenly lowered her voice to give the jailer a sly smile, muttering softly, "I'm telling you, he will die miserably and painfully, a hundred times more miserably than me. You don't believe it? Haha, by then he will lie on the ground like a dog and beg me to save him."
"Crazy woman!" The jailer walked away cursing. He had never seen a woman like this before. She thought she was the savior of others even when she was about to die. If his superiors had not asked him to keep an eye on her and not let her die, he would have let her fend for herself long ago.
Seeing that the jailer no longer paid attention to her, the woman sat down on the ground and wolfed down the food that had just been brought in.
She had to stay alive, only by staying alive could she hope to see what happened to that man. She wanted to see with her own eyes that cold-blooded and noble man crawling on the ground like a dog begging her to save him.
The jailer seemed to see through her thoughts, took the empty bowl back, and only ordered: "Stop making noise. If you want to live well, don't cause trouble for others."
Luo Qingqing looked at him steadily and grinned. She had said everything she should have said, but she could not get any sympathy from that man. She wanted to tell him the secret, but after so many days, he seemed to have disappeared without a trace. Well, since the man was so cold and indifferent, let it be, she bit her lip and smiled, it was only a matter of time.
In an inn in the capital, Pei Xun leaned against the head of the bed, saying nothing, and no one knew what he was thinking about.
His cheeks were sunken and his eyes seemed to be covered with mist. He no longer had the romantic and unrestrained look he once had.
His father had gone out in the morning and had not returned yet, so he knew something must have happened, otherwise he would never let a blind man like him stay alone in this shabby place.
"Qinghe, Bailu, pack up quickly, we want to leave here." Pei Xun thought for a moment and whispered the order.
"Second Young Master, where are we going?" Qing He asked tremblingly, "What if the Marquis comes back and can't find us?"
"Nonsense, let's leave here first and then think of a solution." Pei Xun said impatiently.
These two servants were left to him by his father. They are loyal but not very smart.
The two men did not dare to disobey, and quickly packed up their things. As they supported Pei Xun and walked out of the inn, they were stopped by several people.
"What happened?" Pei Xun couldn't see clearly, he just felt the person supporting him pulling his arm hard.
"Second Young Master, we are sent by the Marquis to pick you up." The man spoke in a gentle and polite voice.
"Impossible, why haven't I heard your voice? Qinghe, Bailu, let's go." Pei Xun knew that his father would definitely not send a stranger to pick him up.
"Second Young Master, are you not seeing clearly and not hearing well? I am the steward Zhu who serves the Marquis." The man cleared his throat a few times and said to the servant beside Pei Xun, "You two have eyes, tell the Second Young Master who I am. The Marquis has ordered that the Second Young Master come to the mansion as soon as possible. He has found a famous doctor who is waiting to see the Second Young Master."
"Second Young Master... Young Master, it's Steward Zhu." Qing He stammered, "I will help you get on the carriage."
"Where is the white deer, the white deer?" Pei Xun called in a low voice.
"Slave, slave is here. Second Young Master, please get in the car quickly. If the Marquis gets impatient, he will scold us." Bai Lu's voice trembled slightly.
"I won't go, I won't go..." Pei Xun was trying to break free from his shackled arms when he suddenly felt dizzy, his body went limp, and he couldn't stand.
"Oh, Second Young Master, he has heatstroke. Help him into the carriage quickly." Steward Zhu said hurriedly, directing the two servants to stuff Pei Xun into the carriage.
In the Zhuxiang Garden, Black Hawk quietly reported: "Sir, everything has been done. The second son has been sent to Haitang Courtyard."
"Okay." Pei Jin's eyes turned cold and a sarcastic smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
The next step depends on how Pei Yunshan handles it. Pei Xun is deeply loved by him, and he wants to see how the two of them act as a loving father and a filial son at the critical moment.
