Pei Lin's face was indescribably gloomy and cold. In addition to being angry about Pei Zhan's coming to Youzhou, he was also furious about the Li family's betrayal.
"The Li family dared to betray me. I cannot spare them."
He had given them a chance before to leave if they didn't want to stay in Youzhou, but they refused to leave. How could he spare them when they betrayed him by cheating on him.
Seeing that he was angry, Feng Jing comforted him: "It's not worth being angry for people like them. You'd better stop being angry. Think about it, two hundred thousand taels of silver is not bad."
In the evening, Lord Li, Mrs. Li and Prince Ming Pei Zhan came to the Jin Palace again.
This time he brought two hundred thousand taels of silver notes.
"Please Princess Jin, please treat him."
Feng Jing stretched out her hand to take the bank note and said slowly: "Master Li, Mrs. Li, is very fond of this relative. She took out the two hundred thousand taels of silver as soon as she asked. Is this relative so important?"
Master Li and Mrs. Li almost fainted after listening to Feng Jing's words.
In fact, they did not want to spend this money. Firstly, the Li family did not have that much money. Secondly, they had previously said that Pei Zhan was a relative of theirs from the countryside, and now they suddenly spent a large amount of money to treat him. This does not make sense.
As a result, King Pei Zhan of the Ming Dynasty refused to admit the matter and insisted that they come up with the money first, and he would replenish it for them later.
Mr. Li and Mrs. Li didn't dare to hope. Prince Ming didn't have much money, so how could he get the money to provide for them.
The two hundred thousand taels of silver not only emptied the Li family's money, but also allowed them to borrow a lot of money.
Mr. Li and Mrs. Li now regretted so much why they took refuge in King Ming in the first place.
If they had known that King Ming was so useless, they would never have taken refuge with him. Now they are grasshoppers in a boat, and they can't even get off the boat.
Mr. Li looked at Feng Jing with a bitter look on his face: "Princess, there is actually something I'm hiding from you. This boy is not a relative of mine. He is the son I had with my wife."
After Master Li finished speaking, he quickly glanced at Mrs. Li. Mrs. Li glared at him with an angry look on her face, as if she had just learned that this man was Master Li's son.
Feng Jing glanced at the Li family and his wife with a half-smile but not a smile: "So it turns out that Mr. Li is really willing to give up for such a foreign wife."
Pei Zhan couldn't stand listening, and without waiting for Mr. Li to speak, he said: "I gave you the money, when will you treat me?"
Feng Jing said: "Go back and wait for notification. I have to order people to catch centipedes and live scorpions. Once these things are caught, I will prepare some medicinal materials. I will notify you then."
Mr. Li quickly said: "Can he stay in Prince Jin's Mansion and wait?"
Feng Jing refused directly: "No, the Jin Palace does not allow outsiders to live in it, to prevent people with ulterior motives from plotting against my son."
After she finished speaking, she stood up and ordered Li Xiuzhu on her side: "Send the guests out."
"Yes, Princess."
Li Xiuzhu walked up to Master Li and his wife: "Please, Master Li and Mrs. Li."
What could Mr. Li and Mrs. Li say? They could only leave with Pei Zhan. The couple felt unspeakable pain in their hearts.
In fact, they didn't want to take Pei Zhan back to the Li family, and wished they could leave him in Prince Jin's Mansion, but Prince Jin's Mansion didn't entertain him, so they had no choice but to take him away.
The Li family walked in front, and Fengjing took the two hundred thousand taels in silver and went to the master bedroom of Longhua Courtyard.
"Now that you have obtained the two hundred thousand taels of silver notes, you can let others take action."
Pei Lin immediately called Dong Li in: "Have you arranged the people you asked to arrange before?"
"Go back to your lord, the arrangements have been made."
"Let them do it where the Li family and his wife passed by."
"Yes, my subordinate will ask someone to take action immediately."
Dong Li turned around and went out. Behind him, Feng Jing handed the 200,000 taels of silver notes to Li Xiuzhu's hand: "Tomorrow morning, I will give the 200,000 taels of silver notes to Mrs. Ming to use for building a charity school."
The more money you have, the more free schools you can open, and a lot of money will be needed to maintain them in the future.
However, Feng Jing had previously given some advice to Mrs. Ming, to buy official land to support the follow-up expenses of the volunteer school.
In the room, Li Xiuzhu agreed.
After Fengjing said this, she yawned and walked out. She wanted to go back to sleep.
Pei Lin opened his mouth to ask her to accompany him, but looking at her big belly, he couldn't say anything.
He knew that Jingjing was very tired when she was pregnant, and it was really hard for her to worry about this and that all day long. He had better be more considerate of her.
In Prince Jin's Mansion, everyone rested early.
However, the Li family encountered trouble more than a hundred miles outside Cangcheng. Someone rushed down from the mountain to rob and kill them.
Although Mr. Li and Mrs. Li brought many servants with them, these people were obviously no match for each other, and they only met each other for a short while.
Someone on their side was injured, and King Ming was also injured.
However, Master Li and Mrs. Li did not expect that King Ming had made arrangements and placed many subordinates to follow him secretly to protect him.
Seeing that the Li family's servants were outnumbered, Pei Zhan immediately sent a signal to the sky, and his men hidden on both sides of the official road ducked out and started fighting with the people from the Jin Palace.
Seeing that they were outnumbered, the men of Prince Jin's Mansion sent a signal to the mountain behind them, and more than a dozen people rushed down from the mountain again and joined in the fight.
The men brought by King Ming were quickly defeated, and many of them were injured.
King Ming Pei Zhan looked at all this, his face was indescribably pale, Master Li and Mrs. Li were also very anxious.
The close guard beside Pei Zhan who was responsible for protecting his safety said quickly: "Your Majesty, let's cover your departure."
After he finished speaking, he blew a whistle and asked the guards in front to cover him, and they took the prince to escape.
However, before the men of Prince Ming's Mansion had time to take cover, the sound of tramping horse hooves could be heard on the official road ahead.
Master Li and Mrs. Li were overjoyed. Before these people could get close, they shouted loudly for help.
"Come here, help me. Someone has killed the court official. Someone has killed the court official."
When the men of Prince Jin's Mansion saw someone approaching, they did not dare to stay any longer in case the identity of Prince Jin's Mansion was revealed, so they all evacuated.
Soon several fast horses came galloping down the official road. These people stood high on the horses and looked at the people under the horses: "Who are you?"
Master Li quickly identified himself: "I am Li Tang, the magistrate of Yaocheng, and these are my wife and dog."
After hearing Master Li's identity, the people on the horse quickly turned over and dismounted, clasped their fists and said, "We are from the Wang family in Cangcheng, what's wrong with you?"
Mr. Li said quickly: "We encountered robbers."
The Wang family said strangely: "Since the last time the prince slaughtered the bandits in Hua County, the bandits in Youzhou have basically moved to different places."
After the Wang family finished speaking, Master Li and Mrs. Li suddenly thought of one thing. Wouldn't King Jin know the identity of King Ming Pei Zhan?
The fact that they were killed tonight was actually the work of King Jin.
Mr. Li and Mrs. Li were so weak that they almost fell to the ground.
The servants following them quickly supported them.
The Wang family looked at Mr. Li and Mrs. Li strangely: "What's wrong with you two?"
How dare Mr. Li and Mrs. Li talk about Pei Lin? She just shook her head weakly: "We were scared."
After the two of them finished speaking, they turned around and looked at Ming King Pei Zhan, feeling angry and annoyed, but helpless.
If King Jin knew that they brought King Ming to heal their hands, they would probably be punished later.
