??Chapter 88 Playing lanterns in the latrine
"Snapped!"
??A loud slap resounded at the prison door.
?? County magistrate Li touched his face that was beaten, and he was stunned.
??Why did brother-in-law beat him?
?? And still slapped him in front of so many people, didn't give him any face!
?? "A dog with no eyes!" Feng Taishou's eyelids twitched, and he opened his mouth to scold his brother-in-law.
??He is really going to be killed by this idiot!
??Who is locked in that prison?
?? That is the heart and soul of the Pei family—Pei Sanlang!
??If Wu Kunzhi's deputy leader hadn't come to the mansion to look for him this time, he wouldn't have known that his brother-in-law had done such a stupid thing.
?? Now, his brother-in-law, an idiot, actually wanted to seize Pei Yi's money in front of Pei Yi and give it to him. This is directly dragging him into trouble!
?? Is it really lighting a lantern in a latrine—looking for death (shit)? !
??Feng Taishou's heart was trembling, he pointed at his brother-in-law's nose, and sternly reprimanded: "That's Mr. Sanlang from Pei Xiang's country! Hurry up and invite him out!"
?? County magistrate Li was dumbfounded.
??He only knew that Pei Yi was from the capital, and speculated that Pei Yi should also be a son of an official, but he didn't expect Pei Yi to have such a background.
?? Who in the Great Zhou Dynasty didn't know Pei Xiangguo?
??That is the Great Zhou God of War who has made many military exploits and never lost.
??Of course, what makes people even more frightened is that everyone knows that Pei Xiangguo is extremely protective, and whoever dares to mess with his Pei family, Pei Xiangguo will make life worse than death for that person.
?? County Magistrate Li sweated like a waterfall.
??Although Pei Yi, a cowardly idiot, is nothing to be afraid of, the Pei family is not easy to mess with!
?? County magistrate Li stiffened his neck and slowly turned his head to look behind Pei Yi.
?? After being stunned for a while, he finally recovered from the shock and panic.
?? County magistrate Li walked over tremblingly, lowered his head, and tremblingly confessed: "The villain has eyes but can't see Mount Tai! Please forgive me!"
??Pei Yi sat carelessly on the edge of the bed, with one knee bent on the edge of the bed and the other on the ground.
??She squinted at Li County Magistrate who had changed his face in front of her, and said with a smile: "Master Li, why is he guilty? I am a guilty person, and you still have to seek justice for Bai Liuye."
?? As soon as Feng Taishou heard this, he knew that his stupid brother-in-law had messed up Mr. Pei.
He hurriedly bowed into the cell, bowed his head and begged for mercy: "Master, please forgive me! Mr. Li was also deceived by the traitor, so he caught him by mistake! Mr. Third, you are the prime minister who can hold a boat in your stomach, so please forgive me! This time, my lord."
??Pei Yi quietly shifted her gaze to the prefect of Qinghe County.
??She smiled contemptuously, and jokingly said: "Master Li locked me in this prison for a day and a night, and the prefect said that if the prime minister could take a boat, it would be fine?"
??Prefect Feng's heart skipped a beat.
??Before he came, he already knew what Saburo Pei was doing in the capital.
??Pei Sanlang is just a dandy who can't be supported by mud, he is stupid, cowardly and heartless—if he hadn't been the prime minister's third son, he would have been tortured to death in the capital long ago.
Feng Taishou felt that this kind of idiot who could be frightened into prison by his brother-in-law, as long as he released him today and said something soft, with Pei Yi's cowardly and weak temperament, he should not and would not Dare to argue with his brother-in-law anymore.
??As long as Pei Yi doesn't care about it, the Pei family probably won't bother them again.
Now hearing Pei Yi's question, Governor Feng apologized and said with a smile: "Third Master, Mr. Li is completely deceived by others, and he has absolutely no disrespect towards you. You see, I have taught him a lesson just now, and I will definitely teach him a lesson again later. Let him do it, let him pay you well."
?? After speaking, Prefect Feng turned his head and gave his brother-in-law who was standing behind him a wink.
County magistrate Li understood, stepped forward quickly, and said respectfully, "Third Lord, please calm down. This officer was deceived by Zhao Wu to do such a stupid thing. If there is any conflict with the third master, I hope the third master will forgive you." !"
??Pei Yi was amused.
??These two people sang oboe because they thought she was easy to bully.
?? "Lord Li, you and Zhao Wu have extorted a total of one hundred and eighty taels of silver from me." Pei Yi sneered, "Do you want to pretend that you have never sent anything?"
??Cold sweat broke out in Li County Magistrate's palms, and he said hastily: "The money will be returned in full!"
??Pei Yi tutted her head and shook her head: "Master Li is really dishonest."
?? County magistrate Li secretly scolded Pei Sanlang for being stupid and dark-hearted, and said in pain: "I will definitely pay you back twice."
?? "It's only double?" Pei Yi raised her eyebrows and said with a smile, "I suffered a day and a night in this prison, and I was wronged."
?? County magistrate Li was dying of heartache, and looked at his brother-in-law begging for help.
?? Prefect Feng is going to die of anger, you idiot! Do you still care about that little money! This is the third son of Prime Minister Pei! If you offend the Pei family, you will lose your life, so what money is there? !
??Receiving his brother-in-law's murderous gaze, County Magistrate Li trembled with fright, and quickly turned around and said, "Third Master, I will pay you three times as much."
??Pei Yi smiled lazily, and said leisurely and leisurely: "Master Li is empty-handed, what kind of guarantee will he give you money?"
?? County magistrate Li was dying of heartache, and he said bitterly: "Don't worry, the third master, the subordinate official will definitely be able to give you the money! If you don't believe me, the subordinate official can give you a written certificate right now."
??Pei Yi raised her eyebrows slightly, and said with a smirk: "There is no need for written evidence. I can trust Master Li's character."
??The words came out of her mouth, more or less ironic.
??Feng Taishou hurriedly apologized and said with a smile: "Third Master, what a bad situation in this prison, let's go out and talk if we have anything to say."
??Pei Yi glanced at the prefect Feng who came in a hurry, and said with a smile: "The prefect is very right." This person is the same as the county magistrate Li. Such a big matter of mistakenly arresting a good citizen actually wants to settle it in a few words. The point is, this prefect Feng dares to bully even noble children like her, if he encounters such powerless ordinary people, how arrogant will he be?
?? "Third Master, please." Feng Taishou stepped aside, very ingratiating.
??Pei Yi walked out in a big way.
?? After she went out, Prefect Feng dared to follow closely behind, and County Magistrate Li followed tremblingly at the end.
??The government office and the prison in Linhe County are both in the same place - the prison is behind the government office, and you must pass through the office of the government office when you get out of the prison.
??As soon as the group walked out of the prison, they heard the sound of drums.
??The complexions of Prefect Feng and County Magistrate Li suddenly turned bad.
??Since ancient times, no official has been happy to hear the government drum beating.
?? Once the drum beats, nothing good will happen.
?? I don’t know which troublemaker is causing trouble again!
?? County Magistrate Li, with an old face darker than coal, asked coldly, "Who is beating the drums?"
??A yamen servant ran over and whispered tremblingly: "As far as my lord is concerned, the person who beat the drum is the guard of Pei's mansion, named Qisha. He..."
??When the yamen servant said this, he seemed hesitant to speak, as if he was terribly frightened.
