"Hmph, I only asked where Liao Ge's daughter went. If it satisfies me, it's okay, otherwise..." Pei Ziyun was furious and snorted coldly.

"Liao Ge's daughter? I've never heard that Liao Ge has a daughter!" The big man's eyes shrank when he heard Pei Ziyun's words. Usually, Liao Ge's colleagues would only hand over money when they came to the door, but they would not care about Liao Ge's daughter. At this time, he hesitated. .

"Humph, Mr. Chen, let's go!" Pei Ziyun sneered, holding an umbrella and getting ready to go back to the oxcart. There was nothing to argue with these people. Not only would it be a loss of status, but it would not help the situation. He would just go back and order the government officials to check them one by one. If it was true, Don't blame yourself for being rude when these people attack.

Seeing Pei Ziyun's appearance, the big man became furious. He rushed forward and punched Pei Ziyun to knock him down: "I told you to amuse me!"

Seeing the big man rushing towards him, Pei Ziyun took a step back and just touched the big man's chest with his finger. The iron-like man fell to the ground, twitched all over, rolled on the ground and screamed.

When the woman saw the big man being knocked down, she shouted in horror: "Someone is coming, come quickly, someone is breaking into a house and beating someone."

The heavy rain was heavy. No one came outside, but a few people came out inside. An old man and several adult men saw Pei Ziyun and asked fiercely: "Who are you and why do you come to our Liao family?"

"I ask again, where is Liao Ge's daughter? He asked me to come and see her before he died. What happened to her when she is gone?" Pei Ziyun said coldly. He originally estimated that the little girl was just being bullied and didn't want to These people said the little girl was gone.

What is the situation? If these people were responsible, Liao Ge might consider that they are from the same clan. He does not have this blood relationship, so he would naturally want to give him retribution.

Listening to Pei Ziyun's words, the old man said coldly: "Are you a liar looking for trouble? Liao Ge died outside and was killed by thieves. There was no commission at all."

Seeing that he was knowledgeable, the old man shouted to people: "Go outside and report to the officials, they will be there not far away, and surround them, don't let these liars run away."

Officer Chen was furious and was about to speak. Pei Ziyun waved his hand and looked on with a sneer.

A few minutes later, a catcher came in from outside. He was wearing a raincoat and a straw hat. He held a knife in one hand and a chain in the other. He shouted, "What's going on? Who's making trouble?"

The big man was helped up by the woman. Hearing the voice, the old man stepped forward with a flattering smile and said, "Master Qian, Liao Ge died outside while fulfilling the Governor's errand. I don't want this man to come looking for trouble in the name of taking care of orphans. I hope Third Master will arrest this man and take him back to prison and discipline him."

The old man was sensible and took out a couple of silver coins from his pocket and handed them over. The catcher weighed the money and found that although it was not much, it was still a little bit.

"Are you making trouble?" The head catcher had a fierce expression and was about to take someone, but when they saw Pei Ziyun, the two of them hesitated. Isn't his temperament wrong

Pei Ziyun snorted coldly. Officer Chen handed over a post and said, "My young master's post."

Just listen to Pei Ziyun saying calmly: "Liao Ge entrusted me to take care of the orphan before he died. I don't want the family to say that Liao Ge's orphan has passed away long ago. Please check it out for me. These people are so bold and dare to attack the orphan of an official. They should be punished." What's the crime?"

She had only been away from the capital for a few months and didn't want to come back. The little girl was afraid that she would be harmed. At this time, the expressions on her family's faces were already cold and they were ready to start a war.

The catcher knew something was wrong when he heard the tone of the young man's words. These were not words spoken by ordinary people at all. He took the post and opened it. The name on the post was Pei Ziyun, the Juren of Yingzhou. His expression changed. All the catchers who were serving in the yamen were all Well-informed, he immediately broke out in cold sweat, turned around and looked at the old man who had just handed over the money fiercely, and roared: "Okay, you have committed a crime. You dare to attack the orphan of the official. If it weren't for Mr. Jie Yuangong, this case would have been solved." You escaped, but you still dare to bribe the official, and your crime will be increased."

After saying that, he took the chain and came forward to take the person.

Seeing this scene, the old man's face instantly turned pale and he couldn't believe it. He quickly shouted: "Sir, it's unfair. We didn't harm the orphan, sir. We didn't."

Even Mr. Qian didn't dare to call out, so he called his lord directly, and the big man on one side also shouted: "Sir, we did not do any harm. We are the Liao family, and my father is the clan leader. Liao Ge is dead, and this house belongs to him. Our clan can take it back and there is no way it will be left outside, this is legal and legal!"

The arrester sneered: "Is it legal? Daxu's legislation prohibits extermination. Do you think you can hide it? Once you enter the yamen, you have plenty of time to talk."

After listening to the arrester's words, the yard was covered, and he felt that a disaster was imminent. A young man following the old man stammered: "Sir, I said, I said, my niece is not dead. She is living in the countryside. It’s great!”

After hearing this, Pei Ziyun breathed a sigh of relief and said to the young man: "Take us there."

It is said that Liao Ge was born as a small official and had worked hard all his life to reach the ninth rank. Although he had some land, it was only thirty acres. As long as the person did not die, Pei Ziyun didn't care about the house and land at all. The little girl would need a dowry when she got married. So what if I have a hundred acres with you

The most important thing now is to find someone. After hearing this, the young man trembled and did not dare to refuse.

Pei Ziyun waved his hand: "Captain Qian, you should keep up with me on this matter."

Qian Captou cursed in his heart, but he had no choice but to apologize: "Yes, I will follow you."

With anger rising from his heart, he put the chain directly on the old man and shouted: "Quick, aren't you ready for the bullock cart to follow?"

After waiting for a while, the two bullock carts ran into the rain and disappeared into the street in an instant.

State capital suburbs

A few mud houses were very small and very narrow, with a bunch of bamboo strips leaning against the wall and piles of messy things. An old maid was holding a little girl. Under the dim light in the room, she could see that the little girl was starved to skin and bones. , the old servant shouted hoarsely: "Please, give me some food, the young lady is starving to death, you can't do this, after all, the master has taken good care of the clan over the years, how could you do this."

"Hmph, you are an old man, and you are a little helper who should have died long ago. How can you talk about your contribution? This little girl has made a mistake, so she should be locked up. You can talk about food and drink. We will talk about it after you come out."

"Young lady is only so old, how do you know those things? It wasn't you who instigated me to go to the ancestral hall and knock over the oil lamp. Otherwise, how could the young lady make such a mistake? The land was given to you, wasn't it just for a yard?" The old woman saw this. The little girl's breathing became weaker and weaker, and she shouted with all her strength.

"Humph, what are you chewing on? Just stay in there and be punished!" the woman shouted to the room, cracking melon seeds with others as she spoke.

At this time, there was a flash under the thick black clouds, illuminating the sky and the earth, causing the rustling sound of earth in the old house to fall, and the woman couldn't help but shudder.

"Open the door, open the door." At this time, someone knocked on the door and shouted outside the courtyard.

"Here it comes, here it comes." A cool breeze swept down the door, and what he saw was the clan leader. When the clan leader entered the door, he quickly asked: "Where is Xiaoye? Send him out quickly."

"Patriarch, didn't you say you want to do it..." Before the woman could say anything, the patriarch's face changed and interrupted: "What to do or not, I don't know."

In the house, when the old woman heard the noise outside, she grabbed hold of life-saving straws and shouted: "Hurry, miss, help, someone is coming, someone is coming."

The voice was hoarse, and a hand stretched out from the window of the wooden house.

Pei Ziyun shook his head and stopped arguing with these people. He pushed the woman in front of him away and went to the room inside. When he saw the iron lock on the door, he drew his sword and dodged it. He only heard a "click" and the iron lock was locked. Cut off and fall to the ground.

When I opened the door, I saw an old woman holding a child. The child was already very thin and seemed to be shouting in a low voice: "Mommy, I'm thirsty, I'm hungry!"

Seeing this child, Pei Ziyun rushed towards him: "Is she Liao Ge's daughter?"

The old maid stretched out her hand: "Sir, yes, please save the young lady, please save the young lady."

Pei Ziyun stepped forward to pick up the little girl. Suddenly, he remembered what Liao Ge said before he died, and his expression suddenly changed. Officer Chen looked at it at this time and said, "Master, give her some water now, but she can't eat. I Go to the kitchen to find some cold porridge, you can drink it if it's a little warm, but not too much."

"Go quickly!" Pei Ziyun said, leaning into the rain and dipping his fingers in water to feed her. The little girl immediately started sucking her fingers like a baby.

If there was cold porridge in the kitchen, he quickly warmed it up and brought it over. Pei Ziyun fed it to the little girl. The little girl couldn't open her eyes and wolfed down the bowl of porridge quickly.

"Sir, I can't give it to you anymore," Chen said, but the nanny on one side could drink three bowls in a row, thinking she was very hungry.

Pei Ziyun handed the little girl to his aunt and looked at the clan elder and the two women in the yard with a cold expression. He touched his body, took out a banknote and stuffed it into the head catcher, saying: "Captain Qian, you have to deal with it impartially." .”

Mr. Qian wanted to refuse, but when he looked at Pei Ziyun's face, he looked serious, bowed and said, "Yes, Mr. Xie Yuang, I will deal with it impartially."

Pei Ziyun carried the little girl out. The little girl had eaten enough. She opened her big eyes and seemed to be looking at Pei Ziyun. When she saw Pei Ziyun going out, the little girl panicked: "Mommy, Mommy!"

Pei Ziyun looked back. The old maid didn't know whether to follow him or not. Pei Ziyun looked at it and thought that it was thanks to the old servant's protection. Otherwise, Liao Ge's daughter might have died long ago. He said, "Come together. Mr. Liao had a request before his death." , I will not treat you badly."

Pei Ziyun took the two of them out. It was windy and rainy outside. Pei Ziyun was wrapped in a raincoat and got into the oxcart. The old woman was slow and followed her a little later.

Pei Ziyun asked in a low voice: "What is your name?"

The little girl was still a little scared and didn't dare to answer. The old lady quickly said: "Sir, the lady's name is Liao Qingye."

Pei Ziyun gently stroked the little girl's hair: "Don't worry, this won't happen in the future. I will protect you."

Then he said to grandma: "You are loyal and loyal, and I will not treat you badly. You will be rewarded generously."

After listening to the arrester's words, the nun knew that this person was Jie Yuan, so she knelt down on the oxcart and said, "Thank you very much, Mr. Jie Yuan. I'm old and don't have many days left in the future. But if you hadn't come, I'm afraid the young lady wouldn't be able to survive." But it’s tomorrow.”

Pei Ziyun started crying as he spoke. He looked at the wind and rain outside the oxcart with a gloomy face and no expression.

"Mr. Qian?" Seeing the ox cart disappearing without a trace, the patriarch said tentatively. In fact, there was still some friendship between them.

"Liao San, this is a big deal for you." The catcher showed a half-smiling expression and tapped the banknote: "What do you think this is? One hundred taels!"

"Master Liao only left a few hundred taels of property? This Pei Jieyuan hates you!"

After hearing these words, the patriarch's body suddenly softened.
