Chapter 373 Resurrection from the Dead
"Yan'er!"
Little Wen was so scared that her eyes popped out of her head. She screamed and ran over, hugging Pei Yan.
Everything within reach is warm.
Blood flowed all over the floor.
When he felt the breath in his nose, Pei Yan was already dead.
"Yan'er! My Yan'er! Don't scare me, don't scare me! What will I do if you leave?"
Xiao Wen knelt in a pool of blood, hugging Pei Yan and crying loudly.
Seeing this, my second uncle's family next door pushed through the crowd of onlookers and squeezed in. The market officials and managers also came over after hearing the news.
Xiao Wen gnashed her teeth, pointed at Ruyi and said hatefully:
"This bitch killed someone! Capture her quickly and beat her to death to make my son pay for his life."
Ruyi sneered, threw the stone in her hand to the ground, and decided to break the jar. She reached out to pick up the messy hair on her temples, twisted her hips and walked to the steward, pinching her voice and saying delicately:
"Master, I'm so weak, how could I possibly kill someone? This old hag is talking nonsense, don't believe her!"
The foreman had long been Ruyi's captive.
In the past, Ruyi was hesitant and unwilling, but today she was so coquettish that she really aroused him, and he couldn't help but feel distracted.
He pinched Ruyi's chin, which was not very delicate but was a national beauty to these country guys, and said with a lecherous look:
"That's right! People are killed by rocks every day in this quarry. I'd say this brat was killed by rocks."
When the foreman said this, his men immediately started shouting:
"Disperse, disperse, disperse! What's the point of watching someone die? If you have the energy to stand here and watch the fun, go dig rocks!"
At that moment, the people gathered outside dispersed.
Seeing this, Xiao Wen grabbed the supervisor's thigh and howled:
"Killing someone means killing someone. You, the manager, can't protect this stinky bastard like this..."
Before he could finish his words, the steward kicked him hard on the shoulder and cursed:
"What a stinking bitch! This is my lover! Damn old woman, get out of here! If you make any more noise, I'll throw you into a rock pit and bury you!"
After saying that, he hugged Ruyi and left.
Ruyi turned her head, glanced coldly at Pei Yan lying on the ground, and left without any reluctance.
Second uncle Pei Shichang sighed and stamped his feet:
"A crime!"
……
At the break of dawn.
Above the mass grave, a waning moon hangs like a hook.
Pei Yan woke up slowly. He saw flies swarming around him, and a cold corpse within his reach. He was so frightened that he rolled down.
The huge valley was littered with rotting corpses, huge green-headed flies were buzzing around, and the pungent stench made him nauseous.
This is where?
He was clearly drinking wine on the Liujing River last night.
After assisting the new emperor to ascend the throne, he became the new emperor's confidant.
The emperor was only interested in traveling around and had no interest in state affairs.
He and Concubine Xu joined forces, and their power was overwhelming. No one could match their power.
Five years ago, Pei Huan joined forces with Sun Zhonghuai to secretly rebel against him, but he took the initiative and killed Pei Huan.
In the past few years, Duke Xie's Mansion and Sun Zhonghuai have been like mad dogs, constantly fighting against him.
Yesterday, he had just overthrown Duke Xie's family and sent his entire family to the execution ground. He was in a very good mood and chartered a boat on the Liujing River to entertain his ministers.
Unexpectedly, the graceful masked courtesan on the bed was actually Pei Xi.
During the fight, Pei Xi grabbed an incense burner and smashed it directly on his head.
"I'm not dead? Where is this?"
Pei Yan had a splitting headache.
Where were all the guards around him? Where was Pei Xi? Where were the ministers, the flower boat, and the Liujing River?
Just when he was at a loss, his head started to hurt more and more. A wave of memories that should not have belonged to him came flooding back, and he remembered his situation.
Pei Yan, the Duke of Dingguo, was horrified.
"How could this be?"
He slapped himself hard, and the intense pain told him that this was not a dream.
he,
In this world, it is not the Duke of Dingguo. There is someone else who is the Duke of Dingguo, and it is his elder brother Pei Heng who died more than 20 years ago. And he,
He's just a rat crossing the street that everyone wants to beat...
"Xuer!"
He thought of the love of his life and the noble person in his life, but the severe headache told him that he had poisoned Liu Xu with his own hands.
Without the catkins, he would lose his money and even his weapons. What else could he fight for?
Thinking of this, Pei Yan's face turned pale and he slapped himself again in anger.
"madness!"
At this moment, he is no longer the decadent Pei Yan who resigned himself to his fate and waited for death. He is the Duke of Dingguo who successfully helped Li Gan ascend the throne through conspiracy and calculation!
He has been working in the court for more than ten years, and his thoughts are deep and his methods are cruel, which are no longer what they used to be.
"Pei Heng! All of this belongs to me. You've taken over my place and taken everything from me. I want you to give it all back!"
……
Morning breaks.
Xiao Wen cried bitterly all night, but no matter how heartbroken she was, she still had to go to work at dawn. Otherwise, she would be whipped and tortured.
Pei Shizong came back from a walk last night and saw his son's body. He collapsed on the ground and sighed all night.
Just as he was about to go out, he saw someone pushing the door open covered in blood. Upon closer inspection, it was Pei Yan.
"Mom, I'm not dead!"
As soon as Pei Yan finished speaking, little Wen burst into a howling cry like ghosts and wolves.
"Son! I'm so scared!"
"As long as it's okay, it'll be okay!"
Pei Shizong couldn't help but burst into tears. He no longer wanted to see his loved ones die.
As soon as he finished speaking, a soldier from the quarry ran over happily, opened the door and shouted:
"Great joy, great joy! Lord Pei, I'm here to tell you the good news."
This soldier was the one Pei Heng arranged to secretly look after them in the quarry, and it was also he who secretly threw Pei Shizong's herbs at the door.
"My Lord, I wonder what you are so happy about?"
Pei Shizong bent down naturally.
The soldier was stunned for a moment when he saw Pei Yan, who had come back to life in the room. He then quickly stepped forward and lifted up Pei Shizong, saying politely:
"Mr. Pei, a letter has arrived from the capital. It says that Duke Dingguo has asked the Emperor for mercy and is allowing you to return to the capital! Mr. Pei, your hard times are finally over. Congratulations!"
This news was like a bolt from the blue, clanging on Pei Shizong's head, and rolling through the hearts of Xiao Wen and Pei Yan, making them feel numb and tingling.
"Can...can...I go back?"
Xiao Wen couldn't believe her ears. She grabbed the soldier and confirmed it over and over again until the soldier took out the official document with clear words written in black and white and a big official seal. Only then did she believe it.
"Sister-in-law! This is true!"
Second uncle's family had been crowded at the door for a long time, and when they heard the news, they all rushed in. Second aunt was even more excited, hugging little Wen.
"Sister-in-law, we finally don't have to die here!"
"Great, great! We can go back! If I stay in this damn place any longer, I'll become an adult." Gu was extremely excited and shouted while touching her dry hair and skin.
Pei Shizong and Pei Shichang were also very excited, and the two brothers held hands tightly together.
"Brother, Brother Heng hasn't forgotten us! We are finally going home."
Xiao Wen raised her head and immediately resumed her demeanor as a marquis's wife. Second Aunt bent down and supported her hand, then Xiao Wen said with a smile:
"Brother Heng is quite sensible! He knows not to leave us here to die! Hurry up, pack your bags and go home."
She didn't want to stay in this damn place any longer.
