Dressed As the Deadly Opponent of the Male Protagonist of the Imperial Examination

Chief Tu did not dare to refute, tears streaming down his face, and he took off his dagger and stumbled outside.

Xu Mu glanced impatiently at Pei Yunxiao and Tang Hang, who had been hanging out for a long time. Suddenly, his gaze stopped on Pei Yunxiao's face, and his eyes burst into surprise.

"Wait!" He raised his hand to stop the soil manager.

The chief of soil turned around in hopes of expectation.

Xu Mu stood up, approached Pei Yunxiao staggeringly, looking up and down with good eyes: "Oh, there is a fairy-like little thing hidden here, it's more beautiful than the three hundred beauties of this son!"

"Atu, I think you have merit in finding beauty, minus ten lashes, go away." After saying that, Xu Mu went to catch Pei Yunxiao's chin.

As if he received an amnesty, the chief of soil immediately retired with gratitude.

Pei Yunxiao was disgusted by Xu Mu's wicked look, and turned his head, avoiding his fingers.

On the other side, the tied Tang Heng's eyes showed ruthless killing intent. Pei Yunxiao's heart burst, hurriedly quietly calmed his eyes, but he was a little happy in his heart.

Does this mean that in Tang Hang's heart, he has gradually put himself into his own category?

Xu Mu's finger fell free, but he was not angry. Instead, he snapped his fingers and smiled happily, "He is also a temperamental, interesting."

After speaking, he turned his head as if he had only seen Tang Heng, and shook his head with a pity: "Tsk tsk, this is not bad. I heard that you two are brothers, one black and the other white, which is interesting.

Unfortunately, my son doesn't like too hard, he still likes Wenxiang Nephrite. "

After Xu Mu finished speaking, he swiftly stretched his arms and he was about to put his arms around Pei Yunxiao's waist.

Pei Yunxiao, who had been prepared for a long time, took a step back, exerted force with his leg, and kicked the man's calf.

I never thought that this foot was like kicking an iron plate. Xu Muwen didn't say anything, but Pei Yunxiao's toes were sore.

Pei Yunxiao's expression stunned-the bottom was as steady as a rock, Xu Mu really knew martial arts!

From when Xu Mu used a dagger to pierce the soil manager, she had guessed, and now she tried it, and it was true.

Xu Mu was kicked and was about to continue making fun of him, but unexpectedly ran into Pei Yunxiao's eyes as cold as an abyss. The coldness in his eyes and the look that seemed to despise everything was the only thing he had seen in his life.

He has never seen such an aura in anyone! Intuition told him that the boy in front of him was not something he could afford.

But he was not reconciled, his sensibility overwhelmed his reason. He doesn't believe in the talents of people who are caught casually from the road. Besides, he is still a boy with no full hair. I'm afraid he's just stubborn.

After thinking for a while, the man waved his hand: "Come here, put them in a dungeon."

"I want to see how long you can carry it!"

Dungeon.

Pei Yunxiao moved the arms that had just been tied up, and looked at the situation in the prison.

The ground is wet, and some woodlouses are crawling. The top of the cell seemed to be a large drip device, and water was dripping continuously from the small hole on the roof.

It is conceivable that if the top of the cell is opened and the water is released, the cell will be completely submerged within a stick of incense.

"Second brother, how are you?" Tang Hang called the two pretending names.

"I'm fine." Pei Yunxiao smiled and shook his head, not caring much about the current situation.

"Second brother, why do you want to..." Tang Hang lowered his voice: "If you want to enter the Xu Family Manor, you still have to stay?"

"The Xu family is the He family's in-laws, and they are very powerful in Zhezhou. The salt gang of the He family is entrenched in Zhezhou. It is absolutely impossible without the support of the Xu family." Pei Yunxiao analyzed.

"I didn't expect it would happen by such a coincidence. I just happened to meet that girl. That's why I decided to come here and have a look."

"I don't know, now that Jinhe's words are true, I'm afraid that Xu's family has already covered the sky with one hand in Zhezhou."

Tang Heng took off the outer garment and placed it on the ground, motioning Pei Yunxiao to sit down and sit next to him.

"I just heard the meaning of the girl's words, the Xu family guessed that they had forcibly changed the family into their own tenant farmers, so that they dared to bully. Otherwise, if they are farmers who are included in the imperial register, how can they also take care of it." Tang Hang sighed. road.

"Perhaps there will be some scruples elsewhere, but Zhezhou at the moment, I am afraid that there is no more law to speak of. Otherwise, how can big brother and me fall here?" Pei Yunxiao said sarcastically.

"Has the eldest brother ever heard folk songs? "Tingwei Prison is as peaceful as a man, rich to live, and no money to die." This is the truth."

"Now what?"

"Wait!" Pei Yunxiao said firmly.

"Since I'm here, I can't walk around casually. It hasn't been long since the He family accepted Jiangnan's business. Many things are relatively unfamiliar. The more unfamiliar, the easier it is to find clues."

Pei Yunxiao and Tang Heng stayed in the water jail for a whole day like this, with no food to eat or water to drink, until night fell.

At this time, the water in the cell has gone past the ankle. Pei Yunxiao gritted his teeth secretly, and forcibly resisted the coldness on his body.

When the case is over, she must have Xu Mu come and taste the water prison!

"Second brother, it will be better if you put it on." Tang Hang wrapped the outer garment around Pei Yunxiao. Fortunately, Tang Heng was built and strong, and his large outer garment happened to be able to enclose Pei Yunxiao's thin body in a circle.

At this time, Pei Yunxiao was no longer polite with him, stretched out his hands, grasped the clothes tightly, and thanked him softly.

"Why do you have to suffer this?" Tang Heng couldn't help asking this after all.

He knew that Pei Yunxiao understood what he meant.

Why? Pei Yunxiao narrowed his eyebrows.

Because she hid her daughter for more than ten years? Because what the Pei family wants is only useful offspring, can't she help her be incompetent? Or is it because Tang Heng is like this, so she has to make a living for her future self?

But these words, Pei Yunxiao couldn't say a single one.

In a claustrophobic space, there are only two living people. Such a situation is always easy to produce emotions that are different from usual.

Pei Yunxiao raised his head to look at Tang Hang, his voice low.

"This world is about to change." She gave the only reason she could say: "Now that the family is in power, the people are not living, the Holy Spirit is deliberately supporting the unfamiliar forces to raise their heads, I...don't want to follow the funeral."

Tang Hang understands. In other words, he has always understood, but he has not been able to clearly feel Pei Yunxiao's true mind.

At this moment, in this dim cell, Pei Yunxiao finally told the truth.

Tang Hang came over, stroked his palm on Pei Yunxiao's shoulder, squeezed it slightly, and said solemnly, "I am still there."

Pei Yunxiao turned his head to look at him, his eyes could not help being warm.

She remembered, Tang Heng said, this life will live up to it.

Suddenly, at the top of the cell, there was a slight "click", and Pei Yunxiao and Tang Hang hurriedly reduced their emotions and looked up together.

I saw that the prison door at the top was gently pushed open, revealing a face-it was the Jinnian that Pei Yunxiao had been waiting for for a long time!

"The first son, the second son, it's too late to come down!"

"No need to say more, take us up!" Pei Yunxiao couldn't stay here anymore.

Jinnian answered, threw down a rope, Tang Hang wrapped it around his waist, took Pei Yunxiao's shoulders, leaped on the ground, and jumped out of the prison.

Next to the door of the dungeon lay a guard servant.

"My son, don't worry, I can't wake up without three hours."

Pei Yunxiao walked to the rockery, took off his soaked shoes and socks, and stepped barefoot on the gravel road.

Jinnian was startled and looked at Tang Hang subconsciously.

Although the little son disguised herself as a man for many years, she was still a woman after all! So grandiosely showing his feet in front of two men...

Jinnian turned his head aside, not daring to take another look.

Pei Yunxiao wanted to laugh when he saw him like that. She doesn't mind, what is he afraid of?

If she wants to keep soaking in wet shoes, will she be able to get out of bed during her menstrual period in the future? Pei Yunxiao wouldn't make fun of her body.

Tang Hang never paid attention to the eyebrow lawsuit between them, because he also did the same thing as Pei Yunxiao, took off his shoes and socks, and stepped on the ground.

"Jinian, let's talk about business." Pei Yunxiao hid his foot behind a rockery.

"Yes!" Jinnian turned around now.

"The girl saved by the second son this morning was named Chen Liniang. I heard from her that the entire Zhezhou city was the site of the Xu family, and she dared not go anywhere. In the end, her subordinates hid her in the cellar of her home. Here, she left enough food for three more days."

Chen Liniang? The name seems a bit familiar. Pei Yunxiao thought.

Jinnian continued to say: "Jin and he has been following the son, to the entrance of the manor, and found that the guards here are very tight, so he didn't dare to enter rashly. After reconciling with him, he decided to act again in the dark.

Not long after it got dark, a group of people came down from the mountain, carrying a box. They waited at the door for a while, and their subordinates saw a man coming out of the village, and others called him the eldest son. When the young man saw the people, he went back to the room to fetch something, and let them go down the mountain. The box was carried into the village. "

"Jin He followed the man down the mountain, and his subordinates sneaked into Zhuangzi and found that the servant of the Zhuangzi had moved the box into the warehouse here. When his subordinates looked around here, they saw the mark left by the son. Only then did I find the dungeon."

"Jinian, what is that box?" Pei Yunxiao asked.

"It's a silver box." Jinnian replied: "It is estimated that there must be at least five hundred taels."

Pei Yunxiao was lost in thought.

At this juncture, there is such a large amount of money transactions, it is impossible not to think too much. Probably, the Xu family is the agent of the He family operating private salt sales in Zhezhou! As for Xu Mu, he should be the one to talk about.

No wonder Mr. Cheng Xu, the commander-in-chief of Hongxu Temple, was an official in the middle of Beijing alone.

"Since the money can exist in this manor, maybe the books or the like are also here. And it won't be a trivial matter that can cause Xu Mu to go down the mountain himself. Maybe Jinhe can find something this time." Pei Yunxiao said. .

"In this way, Jinnian stays here to guard the dungeon. My eldest brother and I will find a way to see if we can find any evidence."

With that, Pei Yunxiao wrung out the water on the shoes and socks and put them on again.

Thanks to Xu's manor, which occupies a huge area, the water prison is remote, and no one comes. Jinnian picked up the unconscious young man on the ground and hid in the grass, and hid himself.

Tang Hang and Pei Yunxiao then walked out cautiously according to their memories when they came.

As he walked, Pei Yunxiao suddenly felt dizzy, his legs softened, and fell to the side. Tang Heng, who was on his side, had quick eyes and quick hands, caught her in one hand, and supported her with his arms.

He looked down and saw that Pei Yunxiao's complexion was pale, his brows were slightly frowned, and his lips were even chapped and bleeding.

Tang Heng felt a panic in his heart for an instant.
