Master Peng's eyebrows jumped. Are all these servants crazy today? Why don't they know the taboos? The last servant said something bad, and He Chengyu gave up his job... ...
He turned around and was about to get angry when the steward knelt down and kowtowed: "Master, the people from Shuntian Prefecture are waiting outside and dare not come in. They said that they wanted us to inform the Sixth Young Master... Please come to the government office..."
Master Peng Er, who had not left yet, frowned even more tightly.
The Peng family is very careful about their reputation. None of their children are playboys, and none of them have ever had to see an official.
What happened to Peng Caichen? Why did he suddenly have to go see the officials
He quickly asked: "Did you say anything?"
How could the steward not ask? He had already asked. Upon hearing this, he glanced at the eldest master and hesitated for a moment before telling the truth: "Second Master, I have asked. The person who came was Wang Tuiguan from Shuntian Prefecture. He told us that... ... he said that there was a murder case involving our Sixth Young Master..."
Peng Caichen? Involving a life?!
joke!
Both Master Peng Da and Master Peng Er wanted to denounce this as nonsense, but after looking at each other, they were stunned - what did He Chengyu say just now before he left
He said that there was also a lawsuit involving murder.
A murder case occurred...
what is going on
Master Peng was a little annoyed, frowned and said, "Go and invite the person in."
He wanted to ask it himself.
Master Peng was beside him, looking unhappy: "Brother, what's going on? We should have accompanied him today..."
It's just that there are etiquettes in the capital. Today, only the two families will meet first, so they can't show up, so they only sent a female elder from the clan. But now the person hasn't come back yet, and no one knows what happened.
When I'm not there, this feeling of being out of control is terrible.
Master Peng shook his head: "Now is not the time to talk about these things, let's ask first."
He asked Wang Tuiguan to come in, and after a few polite words, he asked, "To be honest, I am really confused. Why are you here?"
Wang Tui Guan's expression remained unchanged, but he felt a little embarrassed. The Peng family was very popular now, and he had to take on such a hot potato.
Why did he come? He came to capture Peng Caichen.
It's not easy to offend the Peng family, but it's not easy to offend the Wei family either. He gritted his teeth, weighed the pros and cons, and smiled: "It's not a big deal, it's probably just a misunderstanding. Please accompany us, Sixth Young Master. If we verify that the matter has nothing to do with Sixth Young Master, we will naturally send Sixth Young Master back safely..."
Master Peng Er couldn't hold back any longer and asked coldly, "What's going on?"
Looking at the situation, it seems that these two people don’t know
Wang Tuiguan thought for a moment, then told Master Peng Da and Master Peng Er truthfully: "Today... a woman hanged herself at the gate of the Wei family."
The woman... .. hanged herself at the gate of the Wei family? !
Master Peng Da and Master Peng Er looked strange.
Hanged in Wei's house, so what He Chengyu meant by "a murder case" before
But... ..
What does this have to do with Peng Caichen
Wang Tuiguan considered his words for a moment, then lowered his head with a gentle and harmless expression: "She left a letter saying... She is the wife of the Sixth Young Master..."
Master Peng Er crushed the cup beside him, his face livid and he angrily said, "Nonsense!"
Where did Peng Caichen get this wife? !
He was hanged at the gate of Wei's house.
What will the Wei family think then
No wonder He Chengyu was so angry.
If He Chengyu was so angry, wouldn't the Wei family be even more angry? They were planning to get married, but they didn't expect that someone would die right after they started talking about it, and the person was even hung on their own door...
Master Peng Er felt so angry whenever he thought about it.
Master Peng was so angry that he laughed instead: "How can this be possible! It's ridiculous! Marriage has always been decided by parents and matchmakers. Don't I know whether my son is married or not?"
Before, he showed the letter that Mrs. Peng sent to her parents' home, and now he said that a dead person said that she was the wife of Peng Caichen. This is ridiculous!
Someone must be interfering.
Wang Tuiguan shrank his neck in embarrassment and sighed: "This... ..the girl had a token of the Sixth Master on her body... ...We received the report in Shuntian Prefecture and took the coroner to perform an autopsy. The coroner also proved that the girl did hang herself to death. The letter from the girl clearly stated that she was favored by the Sixth Master Peng when she was studying at the Hedong Academy. The Sixth Master Peng also promised her that he would marry her at the beginning of the new year..."
The more you talk, the more outrageous it becomes.
Master Peng was just furious. He knew his son would never do such a thing. He rebuked him, "No way!"
Wang Tuiguan stopped talking awkwardly, staring at his toes: "This... .. we have to interrogate him to find out... ... the man died in front of the Wei family's door, and many people saw it..."
They were determined to take Peng Caichen away.
Master Peng looked even uglier: "A token... Apart from this so-called token and the letter, is there anything else?"
There is more. Wang Tuiguan glanced at him and quickly lowered his head, saying in embarrassment: "There is also... There was originally a letter from the eldest lady of your family... According to the girl's last letter, the Sixth Young Master showed it to her in order to make her give up. She only knew that the Sixth Young Master was going to get married, but she didn't know whether the Wei family was the cousin mentioned in the eldest lady's letter. She was also a little girl with no knowledge. With nowhere else to go, she hanged herself at the door of the Wei family..."
At this point, Master Peng Da and Master Peng Er finally understood why He Chengyu was so angry, and why He Chengyu kept saying that someone had been murdered.
This really is a murder case!
They themselves knew that Peng Caichen would never fall in love with a beautiful girl and cause such a thing, but did outsiders know that? !
People outside only saw that someone was hanged in the Wei family, and that person claimed to be Peng Caichen’s secret wife!
A beautiful girl from a humble family falls in love with a young master from a rich family, but the young master abandons her and seeks another rich man... Unable to bear being abandoned, the beautiful girl hangs herself in anger. What a thrilling and heart-wrenching drama!
Tomorrow... ... No... ... There is no need for tomorrow at all. I am afraid that right now, this news will spread like wildfire and everyone will know about it.
Master Peng Da and Master Peng Er looked at each other, both of them looked unusually pale and solemn.
Something happened. This time, something really happened.
Wang Tuiguan glanced at their expressions and asked cautiously, "Can this humble official take the Sixth Young Master away?"
The cause and effect have been explained, so this person has to go along, right? Although it is definitely not a big deal because of this person's murder, but the scene must be gone through.
