Liu Wei was stunned. Peng Zhongfei? Of course he knew him.
He patted Shao Qingyuan’s shoulder and laughed. “Yes, we know each other. We even drank together two days ago.” They had even visited a brothel after that, but he could not say that.
“Alright, bring me into the Peng house.”
The smile on Liu Wei’s face instantly froze. He removed his hand from his shoulder and asked dryly, “You went to the county city just for the Peng family? Do you have a feud with that Peng Zhongfei?”
“No.”
Liu Wei heaved a sigh of relief. “Then why are you going to the Peng family?”
“If you bring me in, not only will I bring you into the mountains to hunt roe deer, but I’ll also bring a tiger,” Shao Qingyuan said. He paused for a moment and added, “Don’t worry, I won’t kill anyone or set fire. I won’t implicate you.”
Liu Wei’s eyes lit up when he heard about the tiger. He was very tempted.
Besides, his relationship with Peng Zhongfei was only average. Everyone had bad friends. Moreover, he was only bringing this guy in. If something really happened, he could just deny it. The Peng family really didn’t dare to do anything to him. The Liu family was just keeping a low profile. It wasn’t like they didn’t have a backer.
The commoners didn’t know, but how could he not know? The Peng family’s official in the capital was only a fifth-grade official. In the capital, he had to tuck his tail between his legs.
Moreover, with the roe deer and the tiger, he might have another backer after giving them away.
Liu Wei thought for a while and nodded. “Okay.”
His servant quickly pulled him. Young Master, if something happens later, do you want to be beaten to death by the old master? The old master said not to cause trouble during this period of time.
Liu Wei glared at him and looked at Shao Qingyuan with a smile. “Then it’s settled. You have to bring me along when you beat the tiger.”
The servant’s face turned pale. Young Master, you’ve been a little arrogant recently.
Shao Qingyuan only nodded. He did not say anything else. In any case, he would let this guy stay on the tree when they entered the mountain, so that he wouldn’t get in the way.
Liu Wei happily instructed the coachman to speed up. He saw that Shao Qingyuan seemed to be in a hurry.
Shao Qingyuan did not speak along the way. He ignored Liu Wei’s desire to talk and lifted the curtain to look at the road ahead.
He had thought that Gu Yundong and Feng Daneng were slow because they were walking, and that he would be able to catch up in the carriage.
Unexpectedly, they did not see the two of them even when they reached the entrance of the county.
Shao Qingyuan frowned. Could it be that they had already gone to the Peng family? He quickly asked Liu Wei to bring him in.
Gu Yundong did not go to the Peng family. Since Shao Qingyuan could find a carriage, she would not let herself suffer. On the way, she encountered a mule cart. After saying a few words, she got someone to take them all the way to the county… the Chang family.
Feng Daneng knocked on the door. Chang Fu’s wife, Madam Wang, opened the door. When she saw them, she immediately wanted to close the door, but Gu Yundong pushed it open.
Madam Wang was about to shout when Gu Yundong sneered and raised his voice. “Where’s that thief Chang Fu?”
Madam Wang felt guilty and subconsciously rushed out to take a look. As expected, she saw someone sticking his head out from next door. She immediately closed the door without a word and came back to her senses. “Who are you? Why are you shouting at my house?”
Gu Yundong ignored her and went straight in.
She saw Chang Fu happily drinking wine and eating some side dishes. Yesterday, Young Master Peng had rewarded him with twenty taels of silver.
Gu Yundong pulled her up. Chang Fu frowned and glared at her. “What are you doing? Where did this wild girl come from? I…”
Before he could finish speaking, Gu Yundong threw something into his mouth and closed it forcefully. “Swallow it.”
Chang Fu swallowed it and widened his eyes. “You, what did you feed me?”
“Mai Lisu..”
