Chapter 405: Acting to the bone

Chapter 405 Acting to the bone

Pei Yi had mixed feelings in her heart.

Although she was acting pretentiously, this group of yamen servants was truly mobilized with patriotic blood by her hypocritical politician.

But right now is not the time to be emotional, Pei Yi suppressed the sudden surge of emotion in her heart, and put on a look of regret and embarrassment.

"Brothers, how can I, Pei, let you die?" Pei Yi pushed away the men guarding her, strode to the front, and said with a heroic look, "If you want to kill me, kill me!" !"

Jun Ye laughed grimly and taunted: "Master Pei, you are a county magistrate, why should I kill you?"

Pei Yi's expression changed suddenly, seeing that the knife was about to chop the Yamen servant's neck, she shouted, "I'll give you the key!"

The blade stopped a centimeter away from the neck.

The yamen servant's face turned pale with fright, and he was covered in cold sweat. He looked up at Pei Yi in astonishment, with tears in his eyes, he choked up and said, "Master Pei! You can't hand in the key!"

Pei Yi looked like she was about to cry with grief and indignation, and she seemed to be holding back her grief and choked up a little: "Stop talking! It's Pei who is useless!"

"Lord Pei!" A group of yamen servants were so sad that they shed tears.

Pei Yi was infected by this emotion, and also shed tears.

A group of rebels were very moved when they saw the group of county government officials and petty officials crying together, and some of them silently raised their sleeves and wiped their eyes.

Huo Yuan watched these situations calmly, the corners of his mouth raised slightly, but he quickly returned to his serious and stern look.

Pei Yi handed over the key in tears like this, and shouted to the sky with great grief: "I am the one who failed the people of Wanshou County!"

After saying that, she ran towards the wall beside her—obviously, she was going to hit the wall to commit suicide!

"Master Pei!"

"Master Pei!"

A group of yamen servants were terrified and shouted anxiously.

Qi Sha turned pale in shock, but fortunately he had quick eyesight and quick hands, and rushed forward to stop Pei Yi.

Pei Yi burst into tears, fell to the ground, covered her face and cried bitterly, muttering: "What face do I have to live..."

When the group of rebels saw this, they couldn't help feeling sorry for them, and unconsciously felt admiration and admiration for the magistrate of the county—there are almost no good officials who really care about the people these days. This Mr. Pei is sincerely for the good of the people, but unfortunately, he is not from their side. If the Fifth Prince wins the world by then, it would be great if Mr. Pei can continue to serve the court.

The key was handed over, some of the rebels stayed to take care of the county government, and some rushed to open the treasury.

Wars have always been like this, soldiers and horses go first before using food and grass.

And they were so ready to go, everything was prepared in a hurry, so they could only use the treasury of Wanshou County to rush for military funds.

County Yali.

Qisha helped Pei Yi, who was already crying uncontrollably, up from the ground.

Huo Yuan naturally walked over to support Pei Yi from the other side, walked out of the hall calmly, and sent Pei Yi back to the wing naturally.

Xiao Junji and Helian Linyu also followed with serious faces.

Entering the wing room, Helian Linyu closed the door behind her backhand.

He glanced at Pei Yi who was still sitting by the bed crying, and said with a smile: "Okay, there are no people left, you don't need to act."

Pei Yi was already hiccupping from crying.

She raised her sleeve to wipe her tears, but the sleeve was already soaked with tears.

She sniffed her nose, and said with mixed feelings: "I'm really sad."

"Why are you sad?" Helian Linyu walked up to her quickly, put his hands on his chest, looked down at her and teased, "Could it be that you are really sad for the people of Wanshou County?"

Pei Yi choked.

She hiccupped, shook her head and said nothing.

There is really nothing to say.

Said he was crying about his hypocrisy?

Then these words are too hypocritical.

She really felt sad—sad that she would be such a hypocrite when she stepped into the political situation.

She is also sad for those people who don't know the truth.

Today's group of yamen servants, obviously being tricked by her hypocritical official, still think that she is really a good official, and are still worried about her.

Pei Yi couldn't tell what mood she was in.

Qi Sha silently watched Pei Yi weep, and finally couldn't help but said with lingering fear: "Sanlang, the moment you hit the wall today was too sudden."

It was really sudden.

He was not mentally prepared at all. The moment he saw Sanlang hit the wall, his whole body was cold, and his palms were covered in cold sweat.

"There's nothing to do about it." Pei Yi couldn't wipe her tears with her sleeves, so she could only take out a handkerchief to wipe her tears, hiccupping and hiccupping, "It happened so suddenly, I don't have time to discuss it with you guys." .But I know that you are moving fast, it is impossible not to stop me."

Qisha's mood is very complicated.

He actually wanted to say: Why are you so sure? If I'm just one step slower today, wouldn't you be gone? How can you take your own life as a joke?

Qi Sha was very angry in his heart, but apart from showing an angry look on his face, he didn't dare and was reluctant to say anything serious.

"Sanlang, you are too courageous." Helian Linyu smiled and shook her head.

There is a little more complex color in that smile, either admiration or emotion.

"It's not that I'm bold, it's that I can't help myself." Pei Yi said flatly.

She cried too hard just now, and now her eyes are red, her nose is also red, and even her whole face is red.

Huo Yuan looked really pitiful at her appearance, so he gently sat beside her, and took out a clean sweat towel to wipe her tears.

Xiao Junji's handsome eyebrows frowned instantly—he felt that the third prince's appearance was really an eyesore. However, right now is really not the time to be jealous, if he stands up to be jealous, he will definitely be looked down upon by Saburo.

Xiao Junji suppressed the bitterness in his heart, and asked instead: "What plans does Sanlang have now?"

Pei Yi cried too hard before, but now, although she tried her best to suppress her crying, she still couldn't stop crying, hiccupping from time to time, and her chest was very uncomfortable.

She suppressed her crying forcibly, and said calmly: "It depends on what your Highness has planned."

Huo Yuan smiled lightly when he heard this, he gently wiped Pei Yi's tears, and said softly: "You should know what I'm thinking."

Pei Yi turned her head to look at him, her voice was a little more serious: "Do you want to go back to Kyoto now?"

"Those who know me also have Sanskrit sounds." Huo Yuan was very calm, with a calm demeanor that everything was under control.

Qisha and the others were quick-witted, so they naturally understood what Huo Yuan meant.

Right now, the Fifth Prince is dispatching troops in Wanshou County. This is an extremely dangerous signal—this kind of signal must be sent to the capital as soon as possible. To be precise, His Majesty must be informed that the Fifth Prince is plotting to rebel OK.
