"Aunt Leng, my condolences."

Seeing that the middle-aged woman was in grief, Ye Qi sighed softly and stepped forward and said.

Pei Yue did not pretend to be lenient at this time. Although Chen Xizhi eventually committed suicide and was poisoned by the poison Lin He put on the sword, it seemed that he did not die directly in his hands, but in fact

Everyone present knew what happened. Even if Chen Xizhi was not poisoned or committed suicide, he would not let her leave alive tonight.

Up to now, the two have had a life-or-death relationship, and no matter how twists and turns the process takes, it will not change this fact.

Chen Xizhi naturally understood this, so he left so simply.

Her condensed eyes were already swollen from crying. She raised her head to look at Ye Qi, who had a silent expression, and said sadly: "I have persuaded the girl many times, but you also know her temper. No one can change her decision."

Ye Qi nodded slowly and said, "I know. Aunt Leng, I can't blame you for this."

Leng Ning looked back at Chen Xizhi's face, recalling the scene when she was playing around with him, and her internal organs felt as if they had been cut open by a knife.

After a long time, the soldiers obtained a carriage and white cloth according to Pei Yue's order. Leng Ning and Ye Qi carried Chen Xizhi's body onto the carriage and covered it with white cloth.

Pei Yue took out his imperial envoy's seal and handed it to Ye Qi. He glanced at the carriage and said, "It's getting dark. You can leave the city through the east gate and bury her alive. I won't go."

Ye Qi nodded lightly. She could generally understand Pei Yue's mood and understood that he didn't want to be too hypocritical at this time. She said softly: "You go back to the office first. I will come back after I have taken care of the things here."

Looking for you."

The two of them parted in front of the Chenghuang Temple, and the wheels creaked and rolled across the long bluestone street. Pei Yue took one last look, then turned and walked in the direction of the Yamen.

As soon as Pei Yue returned to the office, he saw a group of sergeants with weapons gathered in front of the gate. Wei Rui and his men blocked the door, making the scene chaotic and noisy.

Seeing Pei Yue's figure, Wei Rui immediately stepped forward to greet him and saluted: "Sir."

Pei Yue looked indifferently at the strange sergeant outside the door. As his cold eyes slowly looked over, the noisy sergeants involuntarily became quiet. Many people quietly looked away, not daring to look at the young dignitary.

As the saying goes, people are reflected by the shadow of famous trees. Although most of these sergeants have never seen Pei Yue in person, who in Xingyang City today does not know how powerful Imperial Envoy Pei is?

Not to mention the distance, just the more than 200 heads in front of the Yamen and the Beijing Palace outside the city are enough to turn these arrogant warriors into honest lambs.

I heard that Pei Yue was not in the office, so these people, under the deliberate indulgence of the leading general, wanted to rush in to see what was going on.

There was so much commotion here tonight that no one could accurately determine what happened. Some people speculated that the Zangfeng Guards suffered heavy casualties, and some even thought that the two imperial envoys had unfortunately died.

But when Wei Rui walked down the steps and shouted those two words, all the noise and noise disappeared instantly, and the long street became eerily quiet.

Pei Yue looked around at these strange soldiers and asked indifferently: "Who are these?"

Before Wei Rui could speak, he saw a military general in his thirties standing out from the crowd opposite. He came to him and said with a smile on his face: "Your Majesty, the last general is the commander of the soldiers of the Governor's Mansion, under the command of Uncle Fang.

I was ordered to come to support the office. I heard it was late at night here.

When the attack occurred, Uncle Fang was very worried, fearing that something might happen to the two imperial envoys, so he ordered the general to protect the safety of the two adults. Brother Wei was very outspoken and did not allow the general and his subordinates to enter the office.

So there was some misunderstanding for a while.”

Pei Yue looked at Wei Rui, who nodded slightly.

Gu Shen

He thought for a while and said calmly: "Go back and tell Governor Xue that they are just some thieves. The Zangfeng Guards have already dealt with them, so don't bother him."

"Yes." The general responded with his head bowed.

"Okay, take these people back and don't gather them in front of the government office."

"General, I will obey the order." The man's face was calm, but he was a little angry in his heart. He only hated that this young powerful man did not give any face to him, and even did not allow him to go in and take a look. However, the status of the two was very different, and he was afraid of Pei Yue. His ruthless temperament did not dare to show any dissatisfaction on his face, which was in sharp contrast to the arrogance he had shown in front of Wei Rui just now.

After the guards of the Governor's Mansion left, Wei Rui said: "Sir, the inside has been cleaned."

"Arrange light and dark sentries, don't let up at this time." Pei Yue ordered.

"Yes." Wei Rui agreed.

"The four of you are taking shifts, so you don't have to work too hard." Pei Yue glanced at the tired look on his face and said gently.

Wei Rui nodded and said: "General, I understand. Thank you for your concern, Sir."

Pei Yue led his soldiers back to the back house, and instead of greeting the envoy Qin Xu who survived the disaster, he went straight to Lin Shuyue's small courtyard.

Lin Shuyue had been uneasy after he left Xingya. Although the situation had become clear, in the short time she was held hostage by Chen Xizhi, she understood how powerful the woman who had helped her was. The most important thing was that she was not only He has the ability and a ruthless nature that is difficult for ordinary people to possess.

When she heard Nongyu's report, she came out overjoyed. Different from the quiet and restrained nature of the past, she was no longer the gentle and gentle Lin family at this time, but more like a lively and brisk swallow in spring.

"Master, sit down and rest for a while. Are you exhausted during this time? Nongyu, please bring some tea."

Lin Shuyue generously held Pei Yue's forearm and shouted loudly.

Perhaps because she has experienced the great fear between life and death, her attitude now seems to be more friendly.

Pei Yue smiled slightly and motioned for her to sit next to him. When Nongyu respectfully placed the tea cup on the table next to him, he glanced at the maid who didn't have an outstanding appearance, his face suddenly turned cold, and he said in a deep voice. : "I promised Chen Xizhi not to kill the people around her."

Lin Shuyue was shocked.

Nongyu was startled at first, and then a look of fear appeared in her eyes. Facing Pei Yue's sharp sword-like gaze, she could no longer hold on. Her knees went weak and she knelt down in front of Pei Yue, panicking and saying: "Sir, sir." Spare your life!"

Pei Yue glanced at the teacup but did not pick it up. He turned to Lin Shuyue with painful eyes and said: "She is Chen Xizhi's confidant and has been secretly spreading the news to the office. Deng Zai and others have already grasped her movements. But I didn't let them take her."

"Master, she..." Lin Shuyue didn't know how to respond.

Pei Yue used his eyes to signal her not to be nervous, and said to Nong Yu who was kneeling on the ground: "Chen Xizhi is dead."
