Lao Peng walked to the end of the room and was about to knock on the door when a rich male voice came out of the room.

"Old...Boss." Lao Peng gently opened the door and walked towards the chamber of commerce boss cautiously.

This room is extremely spacious and has all the necessary supplies, but the light is a little dim, which makes people feel a little uncomfortable. Through the dim light, Lao Peng can only see the boss's hands on the armrests of the chair, and he is flipping through books from time to time.

The sound came.

The boss didn't speak after Lao Peng came in. Lao Peng was so nervous that he didn't know how long he had been in. He could only feel that the sweat on his back had wet his clothes.

"Bang."

Lao Peng was so nervous that the sound of closing books startled him.

"I've already heard what happened from Qian Cai, so I can't blame you completely." The boss picked up the tea cup on the table, scraped the floating tea, and took a sip gently before saying.

"I cannot absolve myself of the blame." Lao Peng secretly breathed a sigh of relief when his boss said this, but he still took the responsibility on himself. Lao Peng has been in the money chamber of commerce for many years, and his experience tells him that taking the initiative to take responsibility at this time will lead to a loss of life.

The chances of going down will be higher.

I heard that the previous manager was skinned alive because he lost a batch of goods.

"Well, it's true that you have to pay the price if you make a mistake." After the boss said this slowly and leisurely, Lao Peng was so frightened that he forgot to breathe. In the dim room, he could only hear his own heartbeat.

"I'm willing...I'm willing to be punished." Lao Peng said this bravely before remembering to change his tone, otherwise the boss will scare himself to death before he can do anything to you.

"I heard that your granddaughter..."

"Boss... this matter is none of her business." Before the boss finished speaking, Lao Peng thought that the boss was going to operate on his granddaughter. He was so frightened that he fell to his knees on the ground and begged with a trembling voice.

"Slap your mouth." There was a hint of anger in the boss's tone.

After hearing what the boss said, Lao Peng slapped his mouth as hard as he could. As long as the boss let his granddaughter go, it wouldn't matter if the boss took his own life. Who could care about these two slaps?

"Okay, just hit it twice. Don't interrupt me next time." The boss put the tea cup in his hand on the table in front of him and picked up a small wooden box.

"I heard that your granddaughter was almost sold by human traffickers this time. I can't bear it.

Don't you feel aggrieved? This is the Meditation Pill that the vassal country paid tribute to. Let's take one for you and your granddaughter." The boss gently placed the wooden box in his hand on the ground.

Lao Peng wiped the sweat from his head, climbed to the side of the chair, picked up the wooden box and thanked him profusely: "Thank you boss, thank you boss."

"Stand up."

Lao Peng dusted himself off and stood up, half-hunched over with his head lowered, as if he was obeying his words.

"What you did just now is to compensate your granddaughter. As for punishing yourself, go to the money store to get it." The boss gently waved his hand to indicate that Lao Peng could go out.

"Thank you boss, thank you boss!" When Lao Peng heard this, he was very happy and quickly bowed to the boss twice.

Is this okay? After Lao Peng left home, he felt like he was surviving a disaster. This feeling was more satisfying than having a wife.

Not long after Lao Peng went out, a tall and thin figure slowly walked out of the darkness.

"You just let him go like this?" The tall and thin figure said with some dissatisfaction.

"Now is the time to employ people. I can't possibly kill everyone." The boss said nonchalantly.

"Is this kind of trash who has accomplished nothing enough to be considered a human being?"

"Did you see those two Jingxin Pills just now? As long as they are there, I can take their lives whenever I want."

"Hmph, I don't have time to play these games with you. Someone above is already dissatisfied with this matter. Who will bear the responsibility? You? Or me?"

"I don't care what you want to do, just don't interfere with my plan." The boss chuckled, not knowing what he was thinking.

It seems that human life is not very important in their eyes.

After Lao Peng left, the three guards were a little surprised. Most of the people who came here were carried out, but they didn't expect Lao Peng to come out intact.

"Good grandson! Good grandson!" Lao Peng ran directly to find Mao Yu after returning home.

"Grandpa, what's wrong with your mouth?" Mao Yu asked, looking at her grandfather's red and swollen mouth with some distress.

"It's okay, it's just that I fell down the stairs. Come on, come on, eat this." Lao Peng was in a very relaxed mood. What could be more satisfying than being able to get away with missing goods?

After coming out from the boss's place, he went directly to find him

When Qian Cai saw that Lao Peng could come out intact, he was surprised and immediately spared Lao Peng's punishment.

"What is this?" Mao Yu asked, looking at the crystal clear pills in the small wooden box with confusion.

"The boss is worried that you will be frightened this time, so he specially prepared a tribute pill for you," Lao Peng said with a smile.

"This boss is quite nice! He's still a tribute!" Mao Yu said, taking this exquisite pill and looking at it from left to right.

"Isn't that right?" Lao Peng said and swallowed his Jingxin Pill.

"We are now ordered by the imperial court to arrest Peng Youdao for treason! Search Peng Youdao's house! The people in the house will be arrested as soon as possible!" Just when Mao Yu was studying this elaborate elixir, a voice suddenly came from outside Peng Youdao's house.

, startled the people in the house.

"Grandpa! What...what's going on?" Mao Yu's voice changed with fright when he heard the movement outside. The servants at home also came over and asked Lao Peng what was going on.

"Don't be anxious, don't be anxious. Just explain this groundless crime clearly." Miraculously, Lao Peng was shocked when he heard the people shouting outside, but after taking the Jingxin Pill, his mood gradually calmed down.

.

Lao Peng led a group of people to open the door of his house and saw that the entire street was surrounded by water. Not only a large number of troops but also many spectators gathered here.

"Fellow military lords, is there any misunderstanding about Lao Peng, who is in charge of the Finance Chamber of Commerce?" Lao Peng said, clasping his fists as he went out.

"Are you Peng Youdao? Where are your daughter Peng Lian and son-in-law Mao Cheng?" The leader of the army glanced at the people coming out of Peng's house. Except for a fat man and a little girl, everyone else was dressed as a servant.

"My daughter and son-in-law have not returned from doing business in other places." Lao Peng pulled Mao Yu behind him and said.

"Take them all!" The leader of the army waved his hand, and the troops behind him rushed forward. Without giving Lao Peng and others a chance to explain, everyone blocked their mouths and covered their eyes.

After everyone in Peng's house was captured, the leader of the army took out a seal from his arms.

"In the 16th year of Zhengdao, the Wuchang Guard Xiao Wuchang was granted the title."
