Shen Lian and Pei Lun never expected that the person who opened the box would be Wei Zhongxian?

Wei Zhongxian!

This old guy discovered the four of them at some point, and the entire convoy stopped in the suburbs late at night.

Wei Zhongxian even opened the box with his own hands and looked at them with a smile on his face.

You Qi saw the two children, Feng Kanyu and Li Dingguo, with their faces flushed and in extremely poor condition. He reached out his hand with pity and touched their foreheads.

"Hiss...it's so hot, why don't you ask a doctor to treat it?"

Shen Lian and Pei Lun didn't care about this problem at all, but still tightened their weapons and looked at each other.

The two of them couldn't figure out what Wei Zhongxian was thinking, let alone how the other party would deal with the four of them. They could only hold their breaths, their hearts beat faster, and they waited for a life-and-death fight.

"Factory... Mr. Factory Master..."

In the end, Pei Lun was smart enough to squeeze out a smile and say hello to Wei Zhongxian.

Wei Zhongxian raised his old eyes like chicken skin and laughed.

"Don't call me Mr. Factory Master. We have resigned and returned to our hometown. Just call me by my real name."

Shen Lian was not polite when the other party asked him to call him by his real name.

"Wei Si, now that you have discovered us, what do you want?"

To be honest, Shen Lian didn't have a good impression of Wei Zhongxian at the moment.

He had already found out that Wei Zhongxian was the first to give up resistance outside the Deling Underground Palace that day.

Otherwise, how could Xu Guangqi and others not be able to hold on for a while longer or even flee in all directions?

Now I heard that Xu Guangqi, Sun Yuanhua and other key rebels would be taken to Zhao Prison and beaten severely, which made Shen Lian extremely heartbroken.

"Hahaha……"

Suddenly hearing someone calling him Wei Si, Wei Zhongxian laughed heartily.

For some reason, his voice didn't seem to be so shrill after he was no longer a eunuch.

It's not that a dead tree blooms, but that it regains its former self.

"Shen Lian, Shen Lian, you are such a philistine! You used to call me a factory boss, but now that we have just resigned, you have changed your name to Wei Si?"

Pei Lun on the side was almost frightened to death after hearing this.

Brother, your special mother is a real tiger.

Wei Zhongxian was not the admiral of Dongchang, but he was still a famous nine-thousand-year-old man, and he was also in charge of the huge eunuch party and the gang of sons and grandsons.

Are you desperate for your life? How dare you call him that?

Shen Lian snorted coldly: "Stop talking nonsense, Wei Si! If you really gave up your identity as a eunuch, why do you still call yourself our family?"

Ok?

Wei Zhongxian was stunned, and his smile became brighter, echoing in the wilderness late at night.

"Hahaha, you are right! Shen Lian, I will be me from now on, what the hell is our family!"

Wei Zhongxian shook his head with a smile and waved his hands at the two of them.

"Okay, if I want to kill you, why don't I take personal risk? I can just let the archers shoot volleys outside."

"If I want to hand you over to the emperor, I won't be friendly with you!"

"Let's go, stop squatting in the box, and get these two children treated quickly. If you have any questions, let's talk about it back in my car!"

After Wei Zhongxian finished speaking, he turned around and left, leaving only Shen Lian and Pei Lun staring at each other, still unsure of what Wei Zhongxian meant.

After a while, Pei Lun took the lead to climb out of the wooden box, and picked up Li Xiaoshuan and Feng Kanyu one by one. He smiled at Shen Lian with his teeth.

"Brother! Our hand is stable!"

……

Half an hour later.

The two children were treated, given decoction and fell asleep.

Shen Lian and Pei Lun also took a hot bath, changed their clothes, and got into the carriage where Wei Zhongxian was.

The motorcade that had been parked for a while started up again and headed straight towards Hejian Mansion.

Although there were many people, everyone was silent, like a group of ghosts in the dark night.

Wei Zhongxian is in the carriage.

Pei Lun nearly shed tears as he ate the first hot meal in more than twenty days.

Take a look!

This is called life. What was it like living with my brothers before?

After pulling rice for a long time, Pei Lun had time to ask.

"Uh... Mr. Factory... No, Mr. Wei, how did you discover us?"

Wei Zhongxian was obviously very satisfied with the title Master Wei and smiled when he heard this.

"How did you find out? Haha, the coachman is not a fool. Among the more than 40 large trucks, only the carriage you are in is heavy, and the axles are creaking under the pressure. Who knows?"

"what?"

Pei Lun was so shocked that he almost jumped up when he heard this.

What does this mean?

This means that among the forty cars, only this one is loaded with things.

All the other cars are empty?

Didn't it mean that Wei Zhongxian gathered forty carts of treasure, worth nearly ten million in silver, and returned home in a grand manner, but all the carts were empty?

Pei Lun looked at Shen Lian subconsciously, wondering what was going on.

Shen Lian looked thoughtful and soon felt relieved.

"Wei...Master!"

"How dare you not take away those treasures at all, but still keep them all in the capital, trying to hide them from others, lest the eunuchs... No, lest those people have completely overthrown you?"

"Also, are you afraid of arousing resentment and being robbed of your wealth along the way? Are you afraid that in the end you will get nothing from a bamboo basket?"

Wei Zhongxian looked at Shen Lian approvingly and said with a smile: "Shen Lian, you are not stupid, but how do you know that I left tens of millions of taels of silver in the capital?"

"I've already left, but I still want to give the little emperor a fortune from heaven? Am I a Bodhisattva or a Buddha? It's not enough to be fooled once, but I have to be fooled the first time?"

"This……"

Shen Lian was speechless.

Wei Zhongxian obviously didn't want to explain more on this matter, but suddenly asked something.

The old man looked at the two people with bright eyes.

"Shen Lian, Pei Lun! I asked you to take my adopted daughter Wei Ting into the palace to investigate."

"Why are you two alone, where is my daughter...?"

At the end, Wei Zhongxian's eyes flashed with tears. He had obviously guessed the result but still refused to accept it.

"she……"

Pei Lun didn't dare to eat the rice and looked at Shen Lian pitifully.

Shen Lian also sighed heavily.

"Mr. Wei, that day..."

He told Wei Zhongxian everything that happened to the three people inside and outside the palace that day, and told him Wei Ting's last words.

"Miss Wei said, I asked you to take care of yourself. I'm afraid I won't be able to serve you in the future."

silence.

After Shen Lian finished speaking, the carriage fell into silence for a long time.

Vaguely, the two of them noticed a line of clear tears on Wei Zhongxian's face.

"Haha, I guess this is what happened."

Wei Zhongxian raised his sleeves and wiped the tears on his face: "After returning to Beijing that day, I found out that a girl died in Prince Xin's mansion."

"The girl's head was missing and her body was dumped at the market entrance. She was completely naked and her appearance was unrecognizable, attracting people to watch. She was left there for three days and three nights, but no one took her body!"

"It doesn't matter until it's eaten up by a wild dog and vulture."

Wei Zhongxian said it easily, but Shen Lian and Pei Lun both lowered their heads helplessly.

The two knew Zhu Youjian's intention of doing this.

Since someone is assassinating him, the most important thing is to find the person behind it.

After thinking about it, Wei Ting couldn't find any clues, so he could only throw his body in Caishikou and leave it in broad daylight.

As long as anyone dares to collect the body for him, he is the one behind it.

Sigh.

Be it Wei Zhongxian, Shen Lian or Pei Lun.

He failed to give Miss Wei the last dignity.

"Okay! Let's not talk about this anymore, what about you!"

Wei Zhongxian forced a smile, looked at the two children who were sleeping soundly in the carriage, and asked in a gentle tone.

"Where do you plan to go? What are your plans for the future?"
