Chapter 158 Return home safely
"It's okay!"
Pei Heng hugged his wife and took a deep breath.
The strong emotions surging in my heart almost burst out.
On the way from the camp outside the capital to Zhuangzi, he met Wanwan who came to report the news, and his heart almost jumped out of his chest.
Pei Heng rode as fast as he could, his brows furrowed with worry. He was afraid that Su Li would get into an accident, and he even thought that if she died, he would not want to live anymore.
Riding on the horse, Pei Heng hugged his wife tightly, wishing he could rub her into his bones and blood.
Su Li felt a little relieved when Pei Heng wrapped her in his large windbreaker. She leaned in his arms and said:
"Don't be afraid, I'm fine."
Hearing this, Pei Heng said nothing, but just silently hugged her tighter.
King Kang, who was being carried behind, looked at this scene and felt jealous.
Accustomed to seeing girls who were either docile, coquettish, or obedient to him, Su Li in front of him felt very novel.
If he was just attracted by her beauty at the beginning, now King Kang really had an endless interest in her.
Su Li is a huge treasure to him.
I don’t know how many new things are waiting for him to discover.
But since Pei Heng was there, he didn't dare to act rashly.
I had no choice but to ask people to follow me from a distance.
Follow all the way and fall all the way.
The handsome face covered in mud was frozen like ice.
Riding back to the farm, Su Li saw that the farm had been surrounded by a group of soldiers. A flag with the golden word "Pei" embroidered on it was fluttering in the wind.
"Greetings, General! Greetings, Madam!"
The sound was deafening.
Su Li now truly felt the pleasure of being the wife of a powerful official. The pleasure of having all the soldiers under her command.
At this time, the leader stepped forward and said, "General, His Royal Highness Prince Kang's guards captured an assassin, and the rest have escaped." It was Qin Chuan.
"Where is the assassin?" Pei Heng had a stern face and a serious expression.
"Imprisoned on the farm. Helan Yue is watching over it personally."
"it is good!"
Pei Heng dismounted and personally carried Su Li off the horse. Without letting her toes touch the ground, he carried her into the farm without saying a word.
In the farmhouse, servants and maids were kneeling all over the floor.
Before I even entered the door, I heard Xi Jie'er crying:
"Mother!"
Song Ci, Songzhi, Songtao, Wanwan and Qianqian all ran out at once and surrounded Su Li.
After entering the house, Pei Heng gently placed her on the warm couch. He asked the doctor to examine her and prescribe medicine, and then he felt relieved.
When Huan Ge'er saw Pei Heng in military uniform, his eyes were filled with admiration.
"Father, I know who the assassin is."
"Who?" Pei Heng wanted to break the other person's bones.
"It's Concubine Liu from the Marquis of Jinyuan's mansion."
When Huan Ge'er said this, everyone in the room gasped.
"Bitch!" Song Tao gnashed with hatred, slamming her palm on the table and shouting, "If I had known this bitch had such a black heart and rotten intestines, how dare she do such a thing! Madam, I will tear her skin apart!"
"Somebody come!"
Pei Heng roared, a murderous look flashing in his eyes. But his wife and children were by his side, and he didn't want to show his cold and cruel side to them. The murderous intent flashed across his face, and he lowered his eyes to calm it down.
"Report to the police and do everything in your power to apprehend Concubine Liu."
"No!" Su Li grabbed him and shook her head.
She turned and asked Song Ci, "Have the guards of King Kang seen Liu Xu's face?"
Song Ci shook his head and said, "Probably not. When we arrived, the killers were all covering their faces."
At this moment, Su Li actually felt a little relieved.
Concubine Liu was holding a musket. If she reported the matter to the authorities, it would inevitably implicate the Marquis's residence. Pei Yan and Xiao Wenshi's deaths were not a pity, but my grandmother and my third aunt's family were still there!
Although Pei Heng had separated from the Marquisate, they were still one. Pei Heng had finally recovered, so if he was implicated in this incident, wouldn't he be the victim of this?
A rat-throwing weapon!
Su Li held Pei Heng down and shook her head repeatedly.
Pei Heng certainly understood what she meant, but how could he tolerate Liu Xu assassinating his beloved wife and children?
"Ari, at worst I won't be a general anymore. I'll go with you on a tour."
"No! My husband's bright future cannot be ruined by a bitch. And Huan'er, Xi'er, my grandmother, my third aunt, the fifth girl, and Miss Liu, their futures cannot be ruined either."
Pei Heng calmed down after talking about the other people.
That bitch, relying on the Marquis' Mansion to do whatever she wants! The Marquis' Mansion is about to be dragged into the abyss by her!
After a moment's thought, he said:
"Qin Chuan, take your men back to the city and secretly capture Liu Xu. Don't let any of the mansion, the shop, or the villa go untouched. And also capture Pei Yan. He is inextricably linked to this matter."
"Yes!"
Qin Chuan took the order and went forward.
Su Li said to Pei Heng, "I'm fine now, go ahead and do your work."
Pei Heng gave a few instructions before leaving in a hurry.
As soon as Pei Heng left, Song Ci rushed over and said, "Sister, I was scared to death. I'm glad you're okay."
Xijie'er also threw herself into Su Li's arms and cried.
Su Li smiled and said, "Okay, I'm fine. Tell me what's going on with you guys."
After everyone scattered, Song Ci protected Xi Jie'er and hid in a haystack. He watched as all the assassins chased Su Li and Huan Ge'er away.
Not long after, King Kang appeared with his men.
"We chased the assassins to the edge of the cliff. As soon as we arrived, we saw you holding Huan Ge'er and jumping down. Somehow, King Kang also fell down."
Thinking of King Kang's horrible appearance, Song Ci felt very complicated.
Su Li slapped her forehead and said, "If I had known to delay for another minute, I wouldn't have to jump off the cliff. Oh my god, I fell so hard that I was dizzy and in so much pain."
"Madam, lie down quickly."
Songzhi and Songtao quickly helped Su Li lie down on the bed.
"The assassins fought with King Kang's guards for a while and then fled. One of them was injured and captured by King Kang's chief guard."
After Song Ci finished speaking, Su Li said softly, "It seems that this time I have to thank King Kang very much."
In the cell.
The assassin was hung on a rack and beaten to a pulp.
On the way, he tried to bite the poison hidden in his teeth to commit suicide, but Helan Yue knocked out his teeth with a punch.
Helan Yue had a strong body and beat the assassin to a pulp.
"Tell me, who ordered this?"
Helan Yue hated the assassin very much.
The Madam saved the General and took care of him without leaving him, which helped him recover. The Madam was their benefactor. But now someone wanted to kill the Madam and the young master, and Helan Yue was the first to disagree!
"Bah! No one ordered me to do that."
The assassin refused to speak.
At this time, King Kang and Pei Heng walked in together.
King Kang had bathed, burned incense, and changed into a clean brocade robe, regaining his noble appearance. However, his face was extremely pale, and his steps were unsteady.
He blamed all of this on the assassin, and without even a moment's rest after bathing, he immediately brought people in for interrogation.
Facing the assassin, King Kang's playful and frivolous demeanor disappeared. He looked at the assassin sinisterly and said:
"Do you think that if you don't tell me, I will have no choice?"
King Kang waved his hand, and his chief guard came forward. He pushed Helan Yue aside and said with a chuckle:
"Let me handle this kind of thing."
Helan Yue glanced at Pei Heng, and when he nodded, he handed the assassin over to King Kang.
Walking out of the cell, Helan Yue said:
"General, is it okay to hand the person over to King Kang?"
Pei Heng looked at the dawn gradually appearing in the sky and said:
"He and we are on the same page on this point."
In less than a quarter of an hour, King Kang came out wiping his fingers.
Behind him followed the captain of the guards, holding a bloody confession in his hand, and two guards behind him were dragging the unconscious assassin.
"General Pei, I have something important to attend to, so I'll go ahead."
King Kang's sinister face was replaced with a harmless smile, and he casually threw the blood-stained handkerchief to the ground.
The corners of his red clothes fluttered in the morning breeze.
Still a handsome young man.
Watching King Kang go away, Pei Heng said softly:
"Today's morning court session is going to be bloody. Liancheng!"
Liancheng walked forward silently.
"You follow Prince Kang's team into the city first and tell His Royal Highness Prince Su what's happening here so that he can prepare."
When I returned to the room, Su Li was still asleep.
Pei Heng breathed a sigh of relief as he looked at his wife, who was breathing steadily in her sleep.
After breakfast at the farm, they regrouped. Pei Heng ordered the troops to return to the barracks first, and he, along with Qin Chuan, Helan Yue, and Qi Min, who had searched the mountains the night before, escorted Su Li back to the city.
As soon as the team arrived at the city gate, they saw the carriages and horses from the Yong'an Marquis' Mansion rushing out in a hurry.
When the two sides met, the carriage stopped.
As the curtain of the carriage in the marquis' mansion opposite was lifted, a figure stumbled down. It was Su Zhe.
Qin followed behind, shouting anxiously:
"Slow down! Slow down!"
Su Zhe, leaning on a cane, hopped over here, shouting as he ran, "Aci! Aci!"
The carriage curtain opened and Song Ci jumped out.
Su Zhe rushed over with a bang, hugged her tightly, and asked repeatedly: "Are you okay? Are you okay?"
