Chapter 2: The lawsuit comes to the door ()

"If you can succeed in practicing mysterious energy, then your suspicion of murder will increase!" Although Pei Donglai couldn't wait to learn, he finally suppressed his eagerness when he thought of this.

You should know that you just did something earth-shaking yesterday, and this big thing will soon come into everyone's sight. At that time, someone will inevitably doubt you. If you start practicing at this moment, you will only add suspicion to yourself!

After thinking through this layer, Pei Donglai's hand holding the koi jade pendant tightly slowly released. Then he took a deep breath and tied it back to his waist!

When the sky was hazy, the fish's belly turned white, and the green and dark peaks in the distance gradually became clear in the fog. Pei Donglai was not asleep all night, but his face was not tired at all. The uneasiness and palpitations after killing people were hard to suppress even the "Sutra of Rebirth" that had been recited overnight for a night.

The Li Mansion is already in chaos, and the county government officials have also investigated the crime scene.

The originally calm Liushi Town suddenly exploded.

For such a small place, the neighbors are all fellow villagers, and even stealing and robbing is a rare news. Liushi Town is a small place where no major events have occurred in many years. But the one who was killed was the famous big businessman in the town.

"Brother Donglai! Brother Donglai..."

Pei Donglai heard a crisp scream from afar, and a touch of intimate smile appeared on his fair face.

Not far away, a young man ran towards him happily. After standing still, he was excited and excited: "Brother Donglai, my father is going to the market today. I heard that Mr. Li was killed! It's really a bad person who is punished. Aunt can finally close her eyes!"

Most of the teenagers in the countryside are simple, and Xiao Liuzi is just like this. When his mother was alive, she also took extra care of Xiao Liuzi. So when he heard this "good news", he naturally couldn't wait to tell himself.

"Is that true? God will take this kind of person away." Pei Donglai looked calm and he didn't need to hide too much about Xiao Liuzi. After all, he was a child, so he didn't know how to observe his words and expressions.

"My mother said that Brother Donglai will definitely be a great nobleman in the future! Those who bully Brother Donglai will not be rewarded." Xiao Liuzi was like a cheerful skylark, and what happened today made him feel very relieved.

In fact, the only one who really likes Pei Donglai in the village is Xiao Liuzi and his family.

In the past, Pei Donglai was often looked down upon and even secretly criticized him as a "bad breeder". However, since he took the exam for the scholar, everyone has changed their expressions. "Scholar Master", and "Scholar Master", and many villagers who were not close to them would pretend to be trapped.

All these annoyed Pei Donglai, so he simply moved to his mother's tomb to live.

It’s not a big disgusting person, but it’s just a catharsis in my heart. After all, having children without wedlock during this period is a bad luck. If some families are at the least, they will be driven out of the house, and at the worst they will be soaked in the pig cage. Fortunately, their mother is alone, which will save more hardships.

But even so, she was still poked on the backbone of many people in the village for most of her life.

Pei Donglai touched Xiao Liuzi's head intimately and smiled and said, "What a noble person? Cough... the noble person, Xiao Liuzi also needs to study hard, and he will become a great noble person in the future!"

Unexpectedly, Xiao Liuzi didn't listen to this at all, but she was a little worried in her eyes: "Is Brother Donglai's illness better? I'll go up the mountain to collect firewood tomorrow. If I'm lucky, I can dig some herbs for you."

"Cough... cough, it's much better." Today's style is a bit big. Pei Donglai coughed a few times and touched Xiao Liuzi's head kindly: "If you see it along the way, pick it up, but don't take the risk like last time. Otherwise, Brother Donglai will be uneasy in this life, and your father and mother will also blame Brother Donglai."

"Last time it was because it was too slippery on the rainy day, otherwise how could it fall to me! I was the only one who was qualified to pick monkey tea!" When talking about this, Xiao Liuzi's face was full of pride.

"You little monkey..." Pei Donglai cursed with a wry smile, but thought to himself that if he became rich, he must take good care of them.

Suddenly, Xiao Liuzi pointed not far away and said, "Brother Donglai, look, why are the village chief and the others here to worship their ancestors today?"

Looking along the side where Xiao Liuzi pointed, Pei Donglai's originally smiled suddenly became cold.

The village chief was walking towards him with two officials, and everything in his expression was self-evident.

Pei Donglai quickly recalled all the details of last night, but there seemed to be no omission. He calmed down and looked at the person calmly.

"Come on the east! These are two messengers from the town. They want to ask you something." The village chief laughed, but his heart was as bright as having already lit eighteen candlesticks.

However, Pei Donglai was the second scholar in the village in decades. He was born with a sick man. He had to cough and pant while walking from the entrance of the village to the end of the village with a bookcase on his back, and he couldn't breathe. So he didn't believe that Pei Donglai killed Mr. Li at all.

Not only him, but none of the whole village believed it.

If Pei Xiu can kill people, it would be better to say that a two or three-year-old young Nannan can kill pigs.

Pei Donglai didn't care about the existence of the two officials. He just bowed to the village chief, raised his eyebrows and said, "Village Chief! I don't know what the two officials are looking for me, what can I ask?"

This is a dialogue between attitude and status. In Pei Donglai's eyes, the two officials seem to not exist.

It’s not that he deliberately raised his value, but that his identity regulated his behavior. If he respected the two officials and even shouted "Master of Crazy" it would make people feel weird.

Not for anything else, just because he is a Confucian scholar! He is also a scholar!

The two officials were obviously annoyed about Pei Donglai's attitude: "When you ask me, of course there is a lawsuit! Could it be that we deliberately ran to this grave to ask for saliva and drink!"

One of the officials was even more careless and curled his lips with disdain: "You village chief all called us 'Master', you little kid's tone!"

"I am filial to my mother here... Is there any lawsuit that can bother me!" Pei Donglai said neither humbly nor arrogantly, with a little questioning in his tone.

"This schizophrenia is not ventilated! Come on, come on, follow me back to the yamen before talking about it."

“Bold!”

Pei Donglai suddenly shouted, and everyone present was shocked.

"I have fame and fortune, how can you take it away with just a few words? Have you ever seen the text of the court? " Pei Donglai looked at them coldly and asked clearly, "You were humiliating me just now, cough cough... Believe it or not, I will go to the county magistrate to surrender, and you will lose it - cough cough, errand!"

After a few words, the two officials immediately sweated. They obviously forgot the sick young man in front of them, and they had just become scholars not long after they had been.

"Donglai, don't get angry. The two messengers came to ask you something after they received orders..." The village chief was very suitable to be a peacemaker, otherwise Pei Donglai and the two constables would not be able to get out of the stage.

The two headmasters spoke up and then sent a message, "Yesterday, the master of Li's mansion was killed, so the county magistrate asked me to wait and invite the young scholar to have a church..."

"You are talking nonsense, you slander good people! Brother Donglai did not kill anyone..." Before Pei Donglai could react, Xiao Liuzi rushed out like a little leopard and shouted loudly at the two officials.

In the eyes of children, entering the court is a bad person. In his eyes, Pei Donglai is obviously a good person.

"Cough... Xiao Liuzi, cough!" Pei Donglai patted his little head with laughter and tears, and comforted: "They didn't say I was a murderer - Qingzhe Zhiqing, you should go home obediently and wait for me to come back before teaching you to write."

After saying that, Pei Donglai turned to the two detectives and said, "Let's go! But you have to bring your torture instruments..."

"No, no..." Pei Donglai's cold words scared the two yamen runners and quickly shook their heads.

Accompanied by two constables, Pei Donglai slowly descended the hillside.

Xiao Liuzi ran after him for a while, and gradually no one could see the figure. Then he stared at the village chief who was worried about his concern: "Village Chief, why are you helping them to show off?! Brother Donglai is not a bad person..."

"I know, your brother Donglai was not captured by them. You just asked a few questions!"

"What are you asking?" Xiao Liuzi stared with big eyes.

"You don't understand this. Okay, little monkey, don't worry your mother when you go home earlier. Didn't your brother Donglai tell you to learn calligraphy well? He will come back after you write it."

"real?"

"When did the village chief make money to coax you?"

"Well! Then I'll go back to practice calligraphy and wait for Brother Donglai to come back to check!"

After saying that, Xiao Liuzi ran away happily again.
