MTL - Dianxia Qingcheng-Chapter 174 My heart says where I am wrong, where is it
Li Wu personally went out of the city gate to greet him, along with several other officials from Anli City.
In front of everyone, Pei Zheng didn't have a good face, he led Qi Changyi all the way, and entered the city gate with a cold face.
Li Wu arranged for them to stay in an extremely luxurious place, and also said that at night, he would clean up the dust for Master Pei and play with the banquet.
After everyone left, Qi Changyi sat on the stool in the room, looking like he was angry.
"What's the matter, you're so angry," Pei Zheng squeezed his pouting cheek, "Who provokes you? Huh? I'll vent your anger."
Qi Changyi looked up at Pei Zheng.
"You, you are the one who provoked it."
Pei Zheng thought it was funny, he also sat next to him, stretched his legs and hooked Qi Changyi's stool to him.
"I was wrong, I apologize to you, don't be angry, okay?"
Pei Zheng didn't know what mistake he made, but there was nothing wrong with admitting it first and having a good attitude.
Qi Changyi raised a small face, "Then tell me, where did you go wrong?"
Pei Zheng leaned closer to him and lowered his voice, "Heart said, where I am wrong, I am wrong."
He got a little closer, almost touching the little man's lips.
A finger was placed on his lips, and the end of Qi Changyi's eyes was a little red.
"Master Li is not willing to save those people outside, and he still lies, you still believe him so much, and you have to go to his banquet, I don't want to go, I don't like him, I don't want to go to the banquet, yourself go."
After speaking, Qi Changyi lifted his stool and was about to sit aside, but Pei Zheng held the stool firmly in place.
It turned out that he was angry with himself.
Pei Zheng smiled, how could he not see things that this little guy can see.
It's just that the situation is so turbulent now that Anli City is far away from the sky and the emperor, and it seems that the officials and dignitaries in the entire city have been twisted into a rope, wanting to be independent in this chaotic world.
Since Li Wu dared to hold a banquet, Pei Zheng naturally dared to go to the banquet. Maybe, this is not just a banquet.
It was a little troublesome to explain to Qi Changyi, but Pei Zheng explained it to him patiently for a long time.
In the end, Qi Changyi seemed to understand a little bit, pulled Pei Zheng's sleeve, looked into his eyes and asked, "Really? Can you really save those people outside the city? Isn't it really a lie? "
Pei Zheng touched his hair, "Really, I said, I won't lie to you again."
Qi Changyi thought for a while, then nodded, "Alright then, I'll go to the banquet with you."
In the evening, several guards came to invite Pei Zheng and Qi Changyi to the banquet place, and Cheng Feng followed them all the time.
Outside the banquet hall, this is a more luxurious place. Several exquisite ancient buildings are connected together. The lights are bright and brilliant, and the sound of silk and bamboo can be vaguely heard inside.
Where there is any dilapidation during the war, it is clearly the extravagance of singing and dancing.
After a few people went up the stairs of the ancient building, there happened to be a few dignitaries from the city on the opposite side, all with their family members, dressed up brightly, as if they were going to a grand wedding banquet.
When those people arrived at the entrance, they were stopped by the guards. After checking that they were not carrying any weapons, they were allowed to enter.
Pei Zheng and several others also walked to the door, and the noise of Xuan Xuan came out, which made people headache, Qi Changyi frowned slightly, and looked like he didn't want to go in, so Pei Zheng squeezed his little hand quietly. .
The guards also stopped the two and wanted to search their bodies.
When a guard's hand was about to reach Qi Changyi's shoulder, Qi Changyi shrank behind Pei Zheng in fear.
Without Pei Zheng's action, Chengfeng's scabbard behind him blocked the guard.
"Master, you go first, and your subordinates will come later."
Pei Zheng said lightly, "Don't make a big noise," and then led Qi Changyi into the door.
As soon as he stepped into the door, Li Wu immediately greeted him.
"Lord Pei is here, and there are people who are welcome and welcome. Lord Pei also came to our small town in person, which really makes the lower officials terrified."
Pei Zheng smiled, "I don't have any fears when I see Lord Li, but I am quite content in this city."
Li Wugan laughed twice.
There was a fearless dignitary next to him who didn't even stand up, sitting on his seat, yin and yang said strangely, "This Master Pei from afar should follow the local customs, since he came to our city, then the visitor is a guest. , If there is any place where the hospitality is not good, please forgive me, Master Pei, after all, this is not a good time, and everyone can't protect themselves, so how can I entertain any guests."
Li Wu's face changed suddenly, "Hahaha, Master Pei, Master Sun's words have no other meaning, don't think about it, please take a seat."
Li Wuxiang led Pei Zheng to take a seat, but Pei Zheng stroked his arm directly, looked at the sitting Master Sun from a distance, and smiled.
Pei Zheng didn't speak, but the old man Sun panicked when he saw it, but now there are so many people here, and he is a famous person in the city, and he must not lose face.
He not only looked back, but also looked up and down at Qi Changyi who was standing beside Pei Zheng.
Qi Changyi noticed his gaze and felt uncomfortable, took La Pei Zheng's hand, and whispered on Pei Zheng's shoulder, "He, he glared at me.
Pei Zheng looked sideways to comfort the little man beside him, "Who dares to stare at you, I'll have his eyes gouged out."
Seeing that the two were behaving intimately, the old master Sun said loudly, "I didn't expect that the people from this imperial city are different. Look at Master Pei, there are beauties by your side wherever you go."
He deliberately blinked his eyes, pretending to be surprised, "Oh no no no, it's not a "beauty", it turns out to be a little boy, but it's all the same."
Sure enough, a few people laughed along. These people may have never been to the Imperial City in their entire lives. In their perception, Anli City is the most prosperous city in the world.
Qianglong does not suppress the local snakes, no matter where the powerful person Pei is from, when he arrives in their Anli City, he does not want to obey their arrangements everywhere.
But Li Wushi knew Pei Zheng, and he was the only one who became extremely ugly after listening to Master Sun's words. Unfortunately, the crowd around him couldn't understand the hints in his eyes at all.
How could someone who could follow Pei Zheng be an ordinary person, but none of the people present had seen the prince, and naturally they didn't know Qi Changyi's identity.
And Pei Zheng didn't plan to tell them.
It just so happened that Cheng Feng had already returned. He was outside just now. He not only packed up the guards at the door and threw them downstairs, but also packed and threw away all the guards who were watching around the ancient building.
"Good, you go over there and sit first."
Pei Zheng whispered to Qi Changyi, "I'll be right here."
Qi Changyi let go of his hand and said uneasy, "Then you have to come over quickly."
"Okay," Pei Zheng patted his little head, "Go ahead obediently."
Qi Changyi followed Cheng Feng to the seat beside him, sat cross-legged obediently, and then looked at Pei Zheng without blinking.
Li Wu smiled and said, "Master Pei, don't be angry, listen to me first, Master Sun," Li Wu whispered, "Rich is rich, but it doesn't make any difference, you can Don't get acquainted with him."
Then Li Wu walked over to the Master Sun again. The two of them didn't know what they were whispering, but Master Sun's eyes changed when he saw Pei Zheng.
After the two finished talking, Master Sun took the initiative to apologize to Pei Zheng, saying that he was reckless just now, and also apologized to Qi Changyi, saying that he shouldn't have said that to him, but Qi Changyi turned his head to the side, I don't even bother to look at Master Sun.
Master Sun handed Pei Zheng a glass of wine, "Master Pei, I toast you with this glass of wine."
Pei Zheng took the wine glass over, but he didn't shove it. Instead, he poured all the wine from the glass onto Master Sun's head with his backhand.
That Master Sun was full of alcohol, his hair was messed up, and he was very embarrassed.
"I kindly apologize to you. If Master Li hadn't persuaded me, I don't care what Master Pei is or not, Master Pei, here I am the richest man in the city, you know! There are many people who want to come to the city, those refugees outside Who doesn't want to come in? If you can come in, it will already give you enough face, and you still slap your nose and face without letting you pay the city fee!"
Pei Zheng didn't hear anything, but he really heard the words "city entry fee".
"Refugees who want to enter the city have to pay an entry fee first?" Pei Zheng's eyes were cold and cold, and he was really starting to get angry.
Master Sun said confidently, "Of course! If you don't pay, do you come in and live for nothing? How can there be such a good thing in the world!"
Pei Zheng squinted his eyes and said, "A few of you are very smart to make this war money. But the laws of the Celestial Dynasty say that it is only natural for Kaicheng to accept refugees during the war. Who gave you the right to dare you? Income city fees?"
The last few words were in a cold tone that made people panic.
That Master Sun was pressed step by step, he was already pushed to the wall, and he could retreat, but in front of him was Pei Zheng with a gloomy face.
Li Wuzai shook his head anxiously, this Master Sun is really capable of bad things, how can he shake such a big thing out, he really can't stand agitation.
Pei Zheng looked down at Master Sun, "Tell me, how much did you charge?"
Master Sun now knew that he was hesitating and not speaking.
Pei Zhengyang took a porcelain bowl on the table next to him, smashed it on the wall with a bang, and then took a piece of broken porcelain and placed it in front of Master Sun, only a few inches away from his eyeballs.
"Do not say?"
Pei Zheng smiled and said softly, "How did you look at him with those eyes just now? Why don't you dig one out first."
Just as the tile was about to go in, Master Sun suddenly screamed.
"I said, I said, everyone has to pay twenty taels"
The porcelain piece didn't stop, and opened Master Sun's eyelids, and blood poured out all of a sudden.
Pei Zheng asked word by word, "Twenty taels per person?"
"To be exact, twenty-two per person per day"
Pei Zheng could no longer control the strength of his subordinates, and really stabbed the broken porcelain into that eyeball.
