The scumbag wanted to wipe out the whole family, but rebirth ruined him!

The next morning, Zhou Pei was awakened by the pain.

He just raised his hand slightly and cold sweat began to appear on his forehead.

Zhou Pei felt around tentatively and found that a piece of flesh had been torn off his face, and there were countless wounds all over his body.

Thinking of the scene last night, Zhou Pei couldn't help but tremble.

What kind of monster is that? It looks as big as a mouse, but extremely ferocious.

Once it bites into a person's flesh, it will not stop until it has torn it off.

Until now, Zhou Pei can still hear the sound of those things biting his flesh, which makes him shudder whenever he thinks about it.

Moreover, this thing seemed tireless and kept biting him all night long. It was not until dawn that it was called away and Zhou Pei fainted.

Now that he has regained consciousness, the pain makes Zhou Pei feel that life would be worse than death.

There was a sound of chains colliding at the door; someone had opened the cell door.

Zhou Pei no longer had the strength to look up, and in his confusion he felt as if someone walked in.

"Yes, still alive."

Mu Xiao glanced at Zhou Pei who was lying on the ground covered in blood.

If I had known that the master wanted to let the little one in, there would be no need to go into room seven. Even room ten would have been more than enough.

These little creatures were captured by the master from the smoky forests of the southwest. They look like mice, but are indeed the most bloodthirsty and ferocious.

The dungeons of the city defense camp would use these little things to deal with stubborn criminals.

The jailer stepped forward and kicked Zhou Pei.

"Hey! Get up if you're not dead yet. Do you want to do it again tonight?"

Zhou Pei was originally unable to move, but when he heard that he would have to stay with those demons tonight, he somehow found the strength to prop himself up.

Zhou Pei looked up at Mu Xiao, his eyes bloodshot. When he saw that Mu Xiao was wearing the uniform of the City Defense Battalion, he began to kowtow.

"I am really innocent, please...please let me go."

After Zhou Pei said this, he lay on the ground and started crying.

Mu Xiao was not surprised at all when he saw Zhou Pei's look. After being locked up with those little creatures for a night, there was no one whose mouth could not be pried open.

"It's not impossible to let you go,"

Mu Xiao paused after saying this.

Zhou Pei looked at Mu Xiao with hope when he heard this, and then he heard Mu Xiao continue,

"As long as you answer my questions well."

Mu Xiao looked at Zhou Pei with a smile.

Zhou Pei ignored the pain in his body and nodded quickly.

"I'll tell you, I'll tell you, you can tell me anything, I'm willing to tell you anything!"

It was past noon when Mu Xiao left Room 7, holding a thick stack of confessions in his hand.

Yan Qi looked at the confession handed over by Mu Xiao and frowned slightly.

"Just get to the point!"

"My Lord, this fellow confessed everything. He really did use some tricks on Miss Zhao."

Yan Qi glanced over fiercely.

"go on."

"According to his account, he first met Miss Zhao in the west of the city half a year ago. He calculated the time well.

When Miss Zhao passed by, she saved a child who was almost hit by a carriage.

Although Miss Zhao did not get off the carriage, she saw it by lifting the curtain.

After having this first impression, Miss Zhao later saw his works at Pinyajuli.

Miss Zhao thought that those calligraphy and paintings were all from Zhou Pei, and she admired him a little bit. "

Hearing this, Yan Qi raised his head and gave Mu Xiao a cold look.

“I have some appreciation for those works.”

Mu Xiao quickly changed his words.

"Later, Zhou Pei deliberately created an opportunity to talk to Miss Zhao. There was not much communication between the two, except for exchanging a few calligraphy and painting works.

Zhou Pei confessed it himself. He had been urging Miss Zhao to support him. Zhou Pei had been giving Miss Zhao the impression that he was a talent that was not appreciated. Miss Zhao actually cooperated with him out of admiration.

Mu Xiao paused here and looked at Yan Qi's expression before continuing.

"It is said that the two of them had agreed that night to use some tricks to get Minister Zhao to agree to recommend Zhou Pei. But strangely, Miss Zhao suddenly fainted.

After waking up, he turned hostile on the spot. Minister Zhao saw that Zhou Pei had humiliated Miss Zhao, so he got angry and detained him. "

Zhou Pei's original words were not these. He said that Zhao Huayin looked like a dignified young lady, but was actually frivolous and dissolute. He only needed to seduce her a little and she would be willing to elope with him.

This matter was entirely caused by Zhao Huayin's misconduct, and he was implicated innocently.

Mu Xiao never dared to tell Yan Qi this.

Yan Qi tapped the table with his fingers and said nothing for a long time.

Mu Xiao was unsure of Yan Qi's thoughts for a moment, so he stood aside and dared not say anything.

"You've worked hard, go down and have a rest."

Upon hearing this, Mu Xiao left Yan Qi's study.

Yan Qi habitually frowned whenever he thought about something.

Use some means to make Minister Zhao submit. What means? Elope?

No, the little girl wouldn't like that kind of crap.

No, how could the little girl’s calligraphy and paintings fall into that guy’s hands?

"Mu Xiao!"

"My subordinate is here!"

Mu Xiao, who was guarding the door, immediately went into the study upon hearing this. As expected, it was a good decision not to leave.

"You just said that they exchanged calligraphy and paintings?"

"Yes!"

"Then go and get all her calligraphy and paintings back now."

Mu Xiao knew that Yan Qi wanted to take back Zhao Huayin's things, and after hesitating for a moment, he replied,

"The maid from the Zhao Mansion seemed to have taken away all the things from Zhou Pei's residence last time, but,"

Mu Xiao paused and continued,

"It seems that Zhou Pei has not yet realized that the calligraphy and paintings have been taken away."

After hearing this, Yan Qi's expression turned even colder, and he snorted coldly.

"It's a good thing, let him stay in jail for two more days, don't let him die!"

"My subordinate understands!"

"Also, let Feiying keep an eye on the people in Zhao's house to see whose people will go to find Zhou Pei."

Mu Xiao was stunned for a moment before he understood.

Zhou Pei was just a poor scholar, how could he know Zhao Huayin's whereabouts everywhere?

He also planned everything so clearly, even the Pin Ya Ju could be arranged.

There must be someone helping behind this, and it could be someone from the Zhao Mansion.

If this person is not caught, Miss Zhao will definitely continue to be controlled by others.

Mu Xiao knew how important Miss Zhao was to his master, so he did not dare to neglect her and immediately took the order.

Zhao Huayin spent the whole night thinking about the mysterious man who met Yu Ying'er. She slept very uneasily and still felt a little tired when she woke up in the morning.

"Girl, Miss Yu is here."

Zhao Huayin was still sitting in front of the bronze mirror dressing herself when the maid at the door came in to report.

Oh? You're here so early?

"Please ask her to wait for me outside!"

The maid guarding the door was stunned. In the past, whenever Miss Yu came, the young lady would ask Miss Yu to go directly into the inner room. What happened today?

Yu Ying'er was stunned at first when she heard this, but she quickly adjusted her expression and responded with a smile.

"elder sister."

Seeing Zhao Huayin come in, Yu Ying'er hurriedly stood up and called out softly.

"Sister, what's the matter with you coming to my place so early in the morning?"

Yu Ying'er's expression froze.

"No, nothing, just came to see my sister."

"Oh, now that you've seen it, I have something else to go out for, so I won't keep my sister here."

After saying this, Zhao Huayin turned around and walked out.

As long as she saw this face, Zhao Huayin didn't want to pretend to be nice to her anymore.

Yu Ying'er looked at Zhao Huayin's back, and a vicious look flashed across her eyes.

"Dianxue, go prepare the car, we are going to Tianxiang Tower."

Zhao Huayin deliberately provoked Yu Ying'er with words. If he went out at this time, he believed that Yu Ying'er would not be idle.
