East Street.

Folk Alley.

night.

With a "squeak" sound, Ah Shui and his family of four were about to open the door and leave. However, the moment the door opened, his whole body trembled and he froze on the spot.

Because Hu Fei was standing outside the door looking straight at him.

Ah Shui's wife and parents were also stunned on the spot, with a trace of panic flashing across their faces.

"Young...Young Master..."

Ah Shui trembled his lips and struggled to speak.

"Where are we going?"

Hu Fei asked lightly with a smile on his lips.

"me..."

Ah Shui hesitated, hesitating and unable to answer.

"Master, what brought you here? My father-in-law and mother-in-law said they wanted to go back to their hometown for a visit. I was worried and wanted to go back with them. Ah Shui was about to send us out of the city."

Xiuhong laughed dryly and mustered up her courage to speak.

"Okay, why are you leaving so suddenly?"

Hu Fei asked with a smile.

"this..."

Xiuhong was stunned for a moment, not knowing how to answer, so she secretly slapped Ah Shui with her hand.

Ah Shui's face was twisted, he pushed Xiu Hong's hand away, biting his lips.

"Don't be in a hurry, go in and talk slowly."

Hu Fei smiled, squeezed past Ah Shui, and walked straight in.

Pei Jie also followed in, closed the door and stood at the door, blocking the way.

Ah Shui raised his head and glanced at the expressionless Pei Jie, gritted his teeth, then suddenly turned around and knelt on the ground, kowtowing to Hu Fei.

"Master, I was wrong! I'm sorry to the master and the master!"

Seeing Ah Shui's actions, Xiuhong's face instantly turned pale, with a trace of despair in her eyes.

"What's wrong?"

Hu Fei moved a stool and asked as he sat down.

"me..."

"I shouldn't betray the young master, I shouldn't betray the Hu family!"

Ah Shui raised his head, looked at Hu Fei painfully and said.

"Who is the mastermind behind the scenes?!"

Hu Fei put away his smile, his face changed instantly, he stared into Ah Shui's eyes and asked in a deep voice.

Hearing Hu Fei's question, Ah Shui trembled and looked at Hu Fei in surprise.

"Master, you...you know everything?"

Ah Shui asked in disbelief, with a hint of panic on his face.

Even Pei Jie, who was guarding the door, couldn't help but be stunned for a moment and looked at Hu Fei with some confusion.

"Your wife recently bought makeup, right? And the price is not cheap. You can't afford it with your monthly money. I think someone bought your life with money, right?"

Hu Fei glanced at Xiu Hong and said calmly.

After hearing Hu Fei's words, Ah Shui's face became even more surprised. Xiu Hong was also stunned. She sat down on the ground and looked at Hu Fei desperately.

"You have been a coachman for the Hu family for ten years and have never made a mistake. But why did you make a mistake this time? On the day of the car accident, you were fully capable of avoiding it. Am I right?"

Hu Fei stared into Ah Shui's eyes and asked word for word.

"Master, I was wrong! Everything is my fault! It has nothing to do with them. Master, please let go of my parents, wife and children. Please..."

Ah Shui Shui was ashen as ashes, he kept kowtowing his head and swallowing his words.

He never dreamed that the young master had already understood everything.

But how could the young master know so clearly? Could it be that he fell down once and lost his brain?

"explain!"

Hu Fei didn't know what Ah Shui was thinking right now, so he lowered his face and shouted sternly.

"Yes, Master!"

"Seven days ago, someone found me and gave me thirty taels of silver, asking me to cause... a car accident when the young master was traveling..."

"Of course I refused. Over the years, I have always been loyal to the Hu family and have absolutely no second thoughts. I refused at that time..."

"But...but that person threatened me with the lives of my wife, children and parents, saying that if I didn't agree, he would kill them. Being forced to do so, Ah Shui could only agree..."

"It's all Ah Shui's fault. It's all Ah Shui's fault. It's up to the young master whether they want to kill or behead them. I just ask the young master to let them go. This matter is all Ah Shui's fault and has nothing to do with them..."

Ah Shui kowtowed and said with a mournful face, his whole body trembling and his face full of regret.

Hu Fei couldn't help but reveal a wry smile.

Thirty taels of silver, for him, a second-generation official, was simply a drop in the bucket, but he didn't expect that his predecessor would die under this mere thirty taels of silver.

Although Ah Shui agreed because his family's lives were threatened, Hu Fei didn't believe that Ah Shui had never been tempted by the thirty taels of silver.

Thirty taels of silver may have never been seen by Ah Shui in his life.

But these are not important now. In the final analysis, he is still grateful for the thirty taels of silver. Without these thirty taels, he might not have been reborn through time travel, and might have really died.

"Who is the person who is looking for you? And the passerby who was hit, have you ever seen what he looks like?"

Hu Fei thought for a moment, looked at Ah Shui, and continued to ask.

"I don't know. I have never seen this person. As for the passerby, I don't even know him. I just received a temporary instruction that day, saying that a person would rush out opposite the Yinque Restaurant to confront the carriage I was driving.

Damn, I really don’t know anything else..."

Ah Shui shook his head and said with tears.

Hu Fei stared into Ah Shui's eyes and fell into silence.

He could see that Ah Shui didn't lie, and he didn't dare to lie.

It seems that the other party was very cautious and did not leave any clues on Ah Shui. Ah Shui was really just a puppet.

"There is no room for you in the capital anymore."

Hu Fei looked at Ah Shui and said in a deep voice.

"Master! I admit it, I admit it all! I just ask you to let go of my wife, children, parents, please!"

Upon hearing this, Ah Shui trembled all over and knocked his head on the ground again. His forehead was bruised and blood was flowing out.

"Take your family and leave, as far away as possible, and never come back!"

Hu Fei looked at Ah Shui and said calmly.

Ah Shui raised his head and looked blankly at the young master who suddenly seemed unfamiliar to him in front of him. His lips trembled, not knowing what to say.

Before, he would have had no chance of surviving.

"Find a car and take them out of the city overnight!"

Hu Fei looked up at Pei Jie and said.

"Yes, Master."

Pei Jie agreed, turned and left.

"Thank you, Master, thank you, Master..."

The five members of Ah Shui's family all knelt on the ground, with their faces filled with gratitude.

Hu Fei said nothing more until Pei Jie found a carriage and personally took Ah Shui's family out of the city.

Standing at the gate of the city, Hu Fei looked at the carriage gradually disappearing, and couldn't help feeling a little emotional.

Living in this era, the fate of many people is beyond their control, especially those who live at the bottom like Ah Shui.

The car accident incident was revealed only because Xiuhong used the box of powder that she was not supposed to use.

There is no woman who does not love beauty, even if she comes from a poor family.

There is no airtight wall in the world, but without Hu Fei's time travel and rebirth, this matter might have been hidden for a little longer.

As the matter comes to light, the people behind the scenes will definitely kill Ah Shui. This is why Hu Fei just said that those people bought Ah Shui's life with thirty taels of silver.

So he wanted to send Ah Shui away. Ah Shui was not wrong, it was the world that was wrong.
