My Cousin is So Weak

Chapter 16 The iron ingot case involves old events

Wang Su was a second-ranked Jinshi in the tenth year of Shengkang. After entering the court, he had many contacts with civil servants and elegant scholars, and he was very good at talking. However, he did not expect that even his cousin who was a military general could not be persuaded. Somewhat helpless.

Looking at his wife, she was also helpless. Finally, she simply gave an ultimatum and said it bluntly.

"How about this? Before my mother's birthday next month, if you can solve all the problems we are worried about, and if A Nian agrees, we will naturally be happy to promote this marriage. But if you can't, then you Just stop being persistent and go back to Hanzhou to put this matter aside."

Delay strategy.

The eldest brother Wang Su used it quite easily.

Pei Zisu raised a slight smile at the corner of his mouth, wanting to use military tactics in front of him, but his cousin was still a little immature, so he responded.

"Okay, if I want to see cousin Anian during these days, you can't stop me."

After going back and forth, the couple did not get any advantage at all. Cousin-in-law Xiang sighed and could only accept it temporarily, thinking that A Nian would not stay in the Hou Mansion for a long time anyway. When they returned to Jiang's house, they thought It's not that easy to meet.

Pei Zifeng, on the other hand, looked so confident that she didn't know how to persuade him anymore.

When the couple went out, Pei Zifeng's expression became serious, but only for a moment, and then returned to calm. He glanced at the sky outside, and saw that the dark night was approaching.

It's midnight, in an ordinary house in the east of Xijing City.

Lying on the ground was a man who had been chopped to pieces all over and was only breathing his last breath. He looked at the condescending man with anger in his eyes and asked.

"Who are you? Why are you killing me?"

"How could there be someone as stupid as you among King Yi's men? They were all killed and came to the lair, and you still ask questions? You don't know whether to live or die."

The man looked shocked and had no idea what went wrong. He had been hiding in Xijing City for many years. Even the royal spies had never discovered his true identity. How could the man in front of him blurt it out?

Seeing his surprise, Pei Zisu's disgust was palpable.

As soon as he raised the knife and brought it down, the man who had been questioning him just now had another hole in his body. He screamed in pain, but because of his status, he had to endure it.

Pei Zisu lowered his head and glanced at the man, his eyes filled with solemnity.

"I'm only asking once, where did you hide the batch of iron ingots produced by the Luzhou Prefecture?"

Another iron ingot!

Someone had already asked him about it last time. From then on, he felt that he should be more cautious. Before the things were completely sent away, it was better to move them from time to time. Unexpectedly, less than half a month had passed since this incident. Someone is knocking on my door to ask for his whereabouts.

For a moment, his eyes widened and he shouted without fear of death.

"Kill me, you want to know the whereabouts of the iron ingots, dream!"

"You are a tough talker, but you don't know if the beautiful girl and three-year-old child you are hiding in Qintai Lane are worth your words!"

After saying that, he threw a silver lock engraved with longevity in front of the man. There was still a faint fragrance on it. The man was very familiar with this smell, and his tone was no longer as decisive as before!

"What are you going to do! There is always a wrongdoer and a debtor. They don't know anything. What are you going to do with them?"

The man lying on the ground was already dying, but when he heard Pei Zichen's words, his eyes wanted to spit out fire and burn the person in front of him to death.

"You are shameless for attacking a woman, child, and child!" "You hid the iron ingots and made the Capital Water Supervisor delay the embankment construction schedule again and again. When the Huaijiang River rose and submerged the villages on the lower bank, more than one woman, child, and child died. , you are worthy of calling me shameless?”

As soon as he finished speaking, Pei Zifan picked up the knife and cut off two of his fingers. When he saw the severed fingers flying out and lying on the ground, still twitching slightly, the sweat on the man's forehead kept falling like beads.

The panic in my heart reached its peak.

"Humans only have ten fingers. Even if they are completely cut off, they will not die if they are treated in time. But if they are cut off repeatedly and then healed, I am afraid that not many people can bear it. You think I am taking advantage of that beautiful girl?" Should I strike first, or should I strike first with the kid?"

The short blade scratched the man's cheek, and soon he saw blood streaks bursting out from the wound. Seeing that the tip of the knife was about to penetrate the man's left eye, Pei Zifeng showed a bloodthirsty look, with a look in his eyes. There is no need to worry about all the evil birds of prey.

"I...I said, I said..."

"Boneless thing!"

Pei Zisu's sarcasm made the man feel ashamed, but for the safety of his family and his own life, he could only blurt out an address, which was not far from here, about three streets away.

"I've given you the address, can you let us go?"

The man prayed and said that his toughness just now was only temporary. When it really reached the point where his whole family would die, he backed down again.

Pei Zisu raised the knife and dropped it, leaving a wound in the man's throat.

He struggled desperately, trying to stop the blood from flowing out of the wound, but more and more blood flowed out, but there was more and more blood in his eyes. There was nothing but anger and despair in his eyes. Pei Zichen glanced at him and said disdainfully.

"You are the one who seeks glory from the Lord. I don't know how many people I have killed. King Yi is blind, but I don't mind cleaning up the house for him."

After saying that, he watched the person in front of him struggle violently and gradually lose strength. Finally, his eyes were broken and he lost his breath, and then he quietly left under the night.

When he left, there was no movement at all, just like when he came.

On the street, the old man who was doing his watch was still doing his watch. From time to time, several groups of guardsmen could be seen patrolling the street. Under the eaves of the house, a figure as agile as a cat passed by quickly, without even leaving a shadow. Every cent.

Guanzi Lane.

When Pei Zifeng walked into the room that the man had told him before he died, the moonlight was still strong, hanging high in the night, but it could not illuminate the road in front of him. He took out the fire folding paper from his arms and polished it. , Pei Zisu could clearly see the furnishings in the room.

After careful counting, there were eighty-nine boxes carried, which was exactly the number of iron ingots reported to Hanzhou by the Luzhou Prefecture.

He opened one of the boxes and checked it. The iron ingots were neatly stacked inside, and the sigh in his heart relaxed a little.

One of the reasons for his trip was to celebrate his aunt's birthday, and the other was to find these iron ingots.

Huo Zhezi came closer, picked up one of the pieces and weighed it. His face, which was already quite calm, suddenly became serious.

Picking up several pieces in succession, they all have the same weight.

Pei Zifan punched the iron ingot fiercely, and soon the ingot cracked, and then scattered in all directions. The iron ingot that was going to be used to build the embankment was actually empty!

Luzhou Prefecture, this is not looking down upon human life!
