Chapter 555: It’s still the opponent who has the upper hand!
The night is as quiet as water.
The sound of water was like a small stone thrown into a calm lake, breaking the silence. Pei Xingyuan washed himself for a while. As soon as he sat down, Shang Ruyi poured a cup of hot tea and sent it to him. at hand.
"Mr. Pei, let's have some tea first."
This is the upper room of an inn in Fenglefang, Xicheng. The room is spacious. Although there is only one lamp on the table, it is It was also bright enough to clearly illuminate the traces of smoke and fire on Pei Xingyuan's face.
He picked up the tea cup and took a sip. He looked down at his hands and said, "I won't be a useless person, right?"
Shang Ruyi said hurriedly: "No."
Pei Xingyuan put down the tea cup and stretched out his hand in front of her: "But look -"
Although he had just watched a But when he looked carefully, Shang Ruyi couldn't help but gasped - Pei Xingyuan was not completely incompetent in martial arts, but he was not from a family of military generals after all, so his hands were white and clean, his fingers were slender, and his joints were clearly defined. The nails are neatly trimmed, and the hands are stretched out. Although they are not as soft as women, they have the beauty of male strength.
But because of the few times he was tossed in the fire, there were several blisters on his hands at this moment, and because he was holding Jin Daji tightly and struggling, several blisters burst. The skin and flesh were opened, revealing the bright red tender meat inside, and blood stains slid down between the fingers, staining most of the palm red.
There are also such injuries on the palms and wrists.
Shang Ruyi said hurriedly: "Don't worry, Mr. Pei, the medicine will be here soon."
As soon as he finished speaking, the door was pushed open, and Shen Wuzheng took it from the store downstairs. He brought in some burn medicine and some bandages, and Tusheer walked behind him, carrying a basin of water.
Shen Wuzheng came over and sat down and said, "Clean the wound first, then apply medicine and bandage for you."
Pei Xingyuan stretched out his hand aggrievedly, and Shen Wuzheng took the towel carefully. After soaking in water, he carefully wiped away the dust and debris from his wound. When the wound was clean, he applied ointment, then took out a bandage and bandaged it bit by bit.
During this period, Pei Xingyuan kept shouting: "Take it easy, it hurts like hell."
Shen Wuzheng glanced at him and said angrily: "Why are you complaining to me? Did I ask you to go?" "
"...! "
Hearing what he said, Pei Xingyuan's eyes suddenly flickered.
They decided on this strategy from the beginning, letting Pei Xingyuan sell high-priced medicine in Changlefang, just to induce the greed of the other party, and Jin Daji did seem to agree with this strategy, and then, Pei Xingyuan I kept interacting with him these days, and finally on the eighth day, I deliberately gave him a watered-down decoction to make the people in Changlefang riot, and also to show the other party.
In this way, Jin Daji completely believed that he urgently needed to buy the other party's medicinal materials.
Unexpectedly, Jin Daji's "belief" turned out to be the bait to lure them into taking the bait. Moreover, he also deliberately raised the price, offering a high price of one thousand taels, making Pei Xingyuan believe that the other party was really greedy. , rather than accruing.
Then, in that warehouse, he killed Pei Xingyuan.
Shen Wuzheng had been reminding them before that the other party was very capable and might really have the ability to predict the future. If you want to defeat that person, you must think deeper than the other party.
However, it seems that the other party is still trying to gain the upper hand every step of the way!
Pei Xingyuan almost paid the price with his life.
But he was not soft-spoken. He just thought about it and said confidently: "But you should have persuaded me then!"
"..."
Shen Wuzheng looked at him After one glance, he was so angry that he had nothing to say. He just lowered his head and pulled the bandage hard. Pei Xingyuan immediately screamed in pain and was about to retract his hand, but Shen Wuzheng grabbed his wrist and tied the bandage. , and then let him go.
Pei Xingyuan looked at him with red eyes: "You, you are so cruel."
Shen Wuzheng ignored him at all. He only got up and went to the basin on the other side to wash his hands. Shang Ruyi smiled and said, "Young master Pei must be careful these days. Don't pick up heavy objects and don't touch your hands with water. Let the people below do whatever you can."
Pei Xingyuan sighed and raised his tightly wrapped hands: "Look, I can still do it. What."
Shen Wuzheng washed his hands, walked back slowly, sat down, and said, "Don't go home tonight, stay here for one night."
" Of course,"
Pei Xingyuan said, looking up at the two of them again: "Are you okay if you come out at this time?"
Shen Wuzheng said: "My family - nothing is wrong."
Looking at him, both of them smiled. Everyone also knew that although there were two elders in the Shen family, the two elders were very concerned about everything. He listened to his son, so when Shen Wuzheng went out in the middle of the night, no one could control him.
Pei Xingyuan looked at Shang Ruyi again, and saw her smiling gently: "Fengchen and I came out from the side door, and my family didn't know."
As he said that, he added One sentence: "It doesn't hurt to know."< br>
After all, now that Jin Daji is dead, those men in black have been arrested, and their plot to murder Pei Xingyuan has been exposed, the news should be back soon. Even if the two of them go out late at night, they are still normal about this matter. reaction.
Shen Wuzheng glanced at the red corners of her eyes, sighed softly, and said, "You shouldn't have come out."
Shang Ruyi just smiled.
Pei Xingyuan on the side snorted softly and said, "What's wrong with Ruyi caring about me?"
Having said that, when he turned to look at Shang Ruyi, he also smiled He smiled and said, "But you have been in Changle these days. He didn't even get a good rest while working in the workshop. He really shouldn't come out to stay with us tonight."
Shang Ruyi said, "Young Master Pei is in such danger that I can't rest peacefully even at home." After saying that, he looked down at Pei Xingyuan's hand again.
Said in a deep voice: "Fortunately, there was no danger."
Near the danger - these four words are considered the greatest luck for all people who encounter disasters, but only those who have experienced it can The people among them knew that these four words also came at a price. Although the ointment was applied to the injured area and soaked in cold water, it relieved a lot of pain. But just now in the warehouse, Pei Xingyuan felt that he was so close to death for the first time. .
If it weren’t for his quick wit.
If he hadn’t fought to the death.
If not, then Jin Daji is indeed greedy...
I am afraid that what they have found now is already a charred corpse.
Pei Xingyuan also looked at his hands and said with lingering fear: "I hope this time, I can get back my original value. I hate losing money the most."
Hearing this , Shang Ruyi and Shen Wuzheng looked at each other and couldn't help but smile.
At this time, a sound of footsteps came from downstairs. Although it was not too heavy, it was still very clear in such a silent environment. When everyone heard it, they immediately turned their heads.
The door was pushed open, and Yu Wenye walked in from the outside with a dark evil aura.
Shang Ruyi stood up in a hurry: "Fengchen, you are back."
Wearing black clothes, he walked into the room. The light in the room had not had time to completely dispel the tension between his brows. The haze, even the shadows behind them seemed to be dragging the long haze of night. As soon as they walked in, everyone's breath was heavy.
But when he saw Shang Ruyi, his eyes immediately softened.
said: "Yeah."
After saying that, he walked back with Shang Ruyi and sat down. Shen Wuzheng looked at him and said nothing. Pei Xingyuan could not hold himself back for a long time and immediately asked: "How is it over there?"
Yu Wenye did not answer him, but looked at his hands: "Your hands-"
"No It's okay,"
I was complaining just now, but now I waved my hands, as if I didn't care at all, and just asked: "Have those people been recruited?"
Yu Wenye looked at it. She glanced at him and said, "Those people were hired by Jin Daji."
"Ah?"
Pei Xingyuan was stunned, while Shen Wuzheng on the side had frowned slightly and said, "So, they don't know who the person behind Jin Daji is?"
Yu Wen Ye nodded.
Pei Xingyuan frowned. Only then did he remember that in the fire scene just now, when he used the thousand taels of silver notes to lure Jin Daji into revealing the identity of the person behind it, those men in black had no idea at all. The meaning of obstruction is obviously that they only obey Jin Daji's orders.
If it were that person's subordinates, I'm afraid they wouldn't let Jin Daji take such a risk.
Therefore, it is impossible to trace this line from those men in black.
Pei Xingyuan thought for a while, and then immediately asked: "Then, where is that warehouse?"
Yu Wenye said: "It has been found out, that place is indeed a warehouse where barbarians stack spices. But a while ago, he went back to the Western Regions to purchase goods, so the warehouse was left there and handed over to a clerk. Look. Jin Daji found the guy and said he wanted to rent it for two days. The guy was greedy for money and felt that no one would know if his boss was gone, so he rented the warehouse to Jin Daji. "
" ..."
"I didn't expect that what happened tonight happened."
Pei Xingyuan shook his head repeatedly after hearing this.
Shang Ruyi said nothing for a long time and then sighed softly and said: "It's greed again."
Speaking of which, they took the bait because they took a fancy to his greed. , even though he now knew that he was setting up a trap to deceive Pei Xingyuan, but in the end, it was still greed that made him be tempted by the one thousand taels of silver notes when he was about to finish the calculation, and he almost died in the sea of fire.
As for the work in the spice shop, it was also because of greed that the warehouse was rented out, which led to this disaster.
It seems that when people are greedy, disaster will happen.
She thought so in her heart, but Pei Xingyuan didn't have that much emotion. He only frowned and thought for a long time before saying: "Jin Daji is dead. Those few people don't know the truth, and they can't find it in the warehouse for the time being." What clue."
"..."< br>
"That is to say, our tonight-"
After saying this, he raised his head and looked at the other three people in the room, only to find that their expressions were as gloomy as his, especially It was Yu Wenye, a cold light flashed in his deep and cold eyes.
In other words, tonight, their plan to lure out the mastermind behind the scenes failed!
But——
