Bastards

Peng Chuanyi is in a trance these days, as if dreaming.

He was burdened with grievances, faced with many difficulties and dangers, and came to Luoyang after narrowly escaped death, only to end up in prison.It doesn't matter if he lives in prison, as long as he can seek justice, he can suffer all kinds of hardships, and if he turns around a few times before the gate of hell, what is he afraid of!

He grew up so big, he almost never lived a peaceful and happy life, even if he lived a smooth life, with food and clothing, and no annoying people to provoke him, his mother's suffering and worry were still on his head.Since he was a child, he has a root in his heart, and he knows exactly what he wants and what he insists on.

His mother always told him, regardless of any adversity, never give up hope. Although life is hard, there are always good people.He also said that everyone has suffering in their life, and the amount of suffering is limited. Now that you are done with suffering, you should enjoy happiness in the future.

He deeply remembered these words, even though he was not very smart, even though his growth path brought him a lot of negative energy, he still persisted and did not take the evil path to become a villain. He hoped that when luck came, he would be qualified to accept it.

But who will tell him what the hell is going on!

He was framed by his father's concubine and his clansmen, and he was accused of patricide. He was tried by the Ministry of Criminal Justice, and he was directly convicted!

What is fair, what is the blue sky, and what comes after all hardships are all lies!

The nobleman will never come!

His fate is destined to be bitter, no one can reverse it, why should he believe in those illusory things!If he had fallen into corruption earlier, abandoned his belief and persistence earlier, and went to please the Deng family, or simply gave up the Peng family to make his debut, how could he end up today!

The warm and cold people he met in Luoyang, and the waves of mysterious hooded people who came to threaten to kill him in the prison, Peng Chuanyi's three views were almost broken and reshaped.

It's all over.

Regardless of whether he remembered anything or not, the result was the same.

Everyone is running for their own interests, and they came to him because of that brochure, threats, coaxing and promises, all for this.If the things are not taken out, maybe he is still alive. Once the things are taken out, he will be even more useless.

He is doomed.

In this huge imperial capital, in this dark cage, he has no one to trust, and he has no value.Just like that ants, even if they existed in the world, no one knows, no one cares...

When the loyal servant came to see him again and said that there was someone he could trust and was willing to help, he couldn't even sneer, he just stared blankly at the corner, his body stiff like a dead fish.

"It's true!" Uncle Zhong was very anxious, he couldn't watch the young master so depressed, without fighting spirit, "Cheer up!"

Peng Chuanyi's answer was: "You go, don't come again."

It didn't take long before he was pushed to the execution ground, with a click, his head and body were shared, and a scar the size of a bowl was left on his neck.

Uncle Zhong was so anxious that he almost burst into tears: "Young master... My young master, why is life so hard!"

He persuaded for a while, and then cried for a while, but Peng Chuanyi didn't listen to a word. Seeing that the time for visiting the prison was approaching, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and said, "You all drove me away, so I won't obey the rules once. , you don’t want to hear it, but I have to say, the one who is willing to help us this time is the one from the He Gang... You also know how capable that guy is, how many killers he has involved, and he sent us safely to Luoyang... ...You didn't win the lawsuit, you didn't take the family property, and you didn't pay the money you still owe..."

Uncle Zhong talked back and forth three times, and then Peng Chuanyi's eyes moved slightly, and he realized: "You are talking about... the third master Sha?"

"No, Mr. Sha didn't show up." Uncle Zhong shook his head, as if thinking of something, his face became more excited, "It's Mr. Sha's! You also know how much Mr. Sha loves this young master, this young master Whatever you want to do, Third Master Sha will definitely not let you!"

Peng Chuanyi didn't make a sound, still turned his back to Uncle Zhong, and didn't make any movement.

Uncle Zhong was a little anxious: "Although Mr. Sha is a member of the He Gang, the He Gang has a lot of dealings with the government. If he is willing to help, the young master's case... will definitely be turned over!"

After a long time, Peng Chuanyi slowly got up and turned to Uncle Zhong: "We have no grievances with the He Gang, but we only owe money. If I can't win the lawsuit and get out, the money... the He Gang won't get it." ,Yes or no?"

Uncle Zhong's voice trembled: "Yes."

"Then whether He Gang likes me or not, if he wants to get the money, he has to help me with all his heart?"

Uncle Zhong nodded vigorously: "Yes, young master! They have all come to collect our debts, how could they want you to die? Who would have trouble with Yinzi?"

"That's right..." Peng Chuanyi's eyelids trembled slightly, and he gradually regained his vitality, his emotions also became agitated, and he clenched his fists, "Go and send a message for me, I want to see him!"

That's right, the people of the River Gang can be trusted!

Although he didn't feel sorry for him, it was just for the money, but to get the money, the case had to be overturned, and he, Peng Chuanyi, went out and inherited the family property openly, so he could get it!

It is true that the help of the River Gang cannot be done for free. After the matter is completed, it will cost a lot of money to appease the two sides, but money is just a foreign thing. As long as the case can be overturned and let him go out, let alone how much money it costs, it doesn’t matter if the whole family property is given to the River Gang. !

What he valued was never money!

Nobleman... That young man surnamed Cui with a red mole on the center of his brow, who is as clear as jade and has an incomparable demeanor, is his nobleman?

……

As soon as Uncle Zhong got Peng Chuanyi's words, he transferred to the Sanke Inn before going to visit the prison the next day.

Although the Hebang Inn is an inn, it is not just a business of welcoming guests. On the first floor of this Sanke Inn, there is a huge restaurant with good wine and good dishes. Beef is a must. Residents in the nearby streets and alleys and merchants who come and go often know about it.

Uncle Zhong was also very well-behaved, under the pretense of buying food for the young master, he found the shopkeeper smoothly and gave a message to Cui Yu, leaving a letter of Peng, saying please see you.

As soon as the shopkeeper learned the words, Cui Yu knew what was going on.

Peng Chuanyi was desperate, so he asked him!

Cui Yu opened and closed the fan with a 'swipe' in his hand, back and forth several times, it was hard to suppress the excitement in his heart, did he act like that just for this result!

But the result is there, but he can't meet so rashly. He still has to understand the situation, make preparations, and ensure that he can fool Peng Chuanyi in a short time and efficiently, and persuade him to do what he wants.

Cui Yu went to write a letter to Wen Shuquan first.

It is said that it is very easy to meet each other in Luoyang now, but the current situation is a bit complicated. There are too many people watching this case, and he doesn't want to cause unnecessary trouble...

Wen Shuquan also has this concern, and he is too busy recently, so he welcomes Cui Yu's correspondence.

They have their own way of communication. If there is an urgent problem, a protection will be added to the letter, and the matter will be said in a dense form. Even if the letter is intercepted, there will be no danger.

Cui Yu asked about Peng Chuanyi's case, and Wen Shuquan answered in detail.

As soon as the case was handed over to the Ministry of Criminal Justice, Deng's father began to walk around and found the Liu family, who came to put pressure on him again.The Deng family's idea was very righteous, they wanted to kill Peng Chuanyi, and everything would be easy after he was killed.

He really doesn't want to get along with it.His superior, Lou Deming, is a lover of money and well-informed. Unlike his original beliefs, he wants to get some money from it, and has come into contact with the Liu family and the Deng family in a cloud.

I don't know what is the coincidence of this case, but when the superiors noticed it, Lou Deming became more thoughtful, and wanted to push Wen Shuquan to work at the front, so that he could get the benefits of Liu and Deng's family, and sell the favor of the first one.

Wen Shuquan saw through it, and followed the clues to rescue Peng Chuanyi several times.By the way, I also found out that the people of the King of Yue were ruling Peng Chuanyi, and they had already supported Deng as the official wife of the Peng family. They also took advantage of this incident to manipulate Rong Yanbin's biological mother from the Rong family to become the official wife for the same reason.

The situation of the Rong family is similar to that of the Peng family. Rong Yanbin's biological mother was born in a famous family, but because of the secret relationship between the child and the child, the Rong family's seniors did not want to recognize such a daughter-in-law, so they ordered another one, and only Rong Yanbin's biological mother became a concubine. .The main wife, Fu Bo, passed away a few years ago, leaving only one daughter and no son.Rong Yanbin's father didn't have a successor, and he was making trouble with his concubine.Now that the Deng family of the Peng family can be the official wife, why not his family?

With the help of the King of Yue, the elders of the Rong family have to bow their heads no matter how unwilling they are...

In Wen Shuquan's letter, he detailed a few things he knew. Deng and Liu colluded, even Lou Deming asked for money, and arranged a loophole to let the Deng family killer go to jail to threaten Peng Chuanyi. He got some conclusive evidence.

He kept these because Lou Deming was obviously dissatisfied with him, and I'm afraid he will fix them up for him to wear small shoes in the near future. He has something in hand, so he is not afraid of Lou Deming.

He didn't know if Cui Mata had any intention of asking these questions, but if Cui Mata needed it, he was willing to lend him these evidences.

After reading the letter, Cui Yu smiled and clapped his hands, and praised him very much. Wen Shuquan is such a good brother, so caring!

Yang Xuan's complexion was a little dark.

Cui Yu was very happy every time he communicated with this person surnamed Wen, and it made him feel uncomfortable just thinking about it!

Cui Yu didn't snub Yang Xuan, and immediately came to flip his cards: "Is the black-clothed assassin really a member of King Ping? Are you sure?"

"There is no definite evidence that the two have met and had contact, but they are almost inseparable." Yang Xuan looked at Cui Yu's eyebrows, his eyes softened involuntarily, and even his voice softened a little, "You want to test him ?”

Cui Yan shook his head, his eyes were slightly curved, and he smiled slyly like a fox: "I don't want to test him, I want him to take the blame."

"Back the blame?" Yang Xuan thought for a while, her slender eyes widened suddenly, "You want to—"

"That's right, I want Prince Ping to come forward and fight for us."

Such a great opportunity, what a pity not to take advantage of it!

Cui Yu winked at him, and smiled even brighter: "No one can see you, nor can I. Everything is the result of the fighting between the two princes. We... are as innocent as we can be."

This look is so cute, Yang Xuan couldn't hold back, pulled Cui Yu into a hug, and kissed him on the top of his hair.

Cui Mata pushed him away and continued to laugh: "How about it, am I bad?"

Yang Xuan shook her head, her black eyes seemed to reflect the starry sky, shining brightly: "...very cute."

Although people who are in love with each other can't help but say some disgusting words, but 'cute' or something... It's a bit exaggerated to describe him who has lived for several lifetimes.

Cui Yu cleared his cough twice, and drank another whole cup of tea to suppress the goose bumps on his body.

"You help me arrange the arrangements. I'm going to see Peng Chuanyi in prison tonight. I don't want anyone to bother me."

Yang Xuan nodded: "Okay. I'll accompany you."

……

At night, Cui Yu was carried by Yang Xuan, and flew all the way to the prison.

Under the night, the prison of the Ministry of Justice looks like a monster in armor, its whole body is pitch black, and there is only a little candlelight on the side of its huge mouth, which looks very creepy.Walking in, the atmosphere is even colder, and the faint cold air is coming from nowhere, and it is densely enveloping, offsetting all the summer heat, making people feel cold all over the body and heart.

Cui Yu had Yang Xuan by his side, and he didn't have any emotions such as worry or fear. Instead, he felt that the temperature was quite good and comfortable.It was Yang Xuan who was worrying blindly, hugged him tightly, and even added a cloak to him, as if he would get sick from the cold air.

In the prison cell, Peng Chuanyi is no longer a dead fish with nothing to love. Although he is thin and dirty, his beard grows out and his hair is untidy and he has no ability to clean himself up, he still tries his best to tidy himself up and sit comfortably. Wait for Cui Mata to come.

"Peng Chuanyi."

The voice of Qingyue like spring water came, and Peng Chuanyi almost cried when he saw Cui Yu, who was as handsome as jade with red lips and white teeth, and as graceful as a fairy.

"I am! I am!"

He looked straight at Cui Yu, his eyes glowed with hope, as if the whole world was shaking and glowing because of Cui Yu's arrival.

Cui Yu glanced up and down at Peng Chuanyi: "How come you are so ugly after seeing you for a few days?"

Peng Chuanyi: ...

He did not have any doubts about the statement of 'a few days'.Some people are free, and life passes slowly, and a day is like a year, while some people are busy, and life passes quickly, and a year is like a day.A few days is just a quantifier with an uncertain number.

For him who was locked in prison and lived like years, the word "several days" is very kind, as if time took care of him and specially chose the days to send Cui Yu to him.

"The conditions here are not good..." Peng Chuanyi squeezed his fingers, a little embarrassed.Don't compare the face, just talk about the dirty self, compared with the clothes and accessories, Cui Yu, who has taken care of every strand of hair very delicately, it is a mud, a sky, how can there be any comparison?

He said with a sneer: "Your wronged son, you just give in."

Cui Yu unfolded the jade fan with a 'swipe' in his hand, and he was not polite at all: "You know that I am wronged, so let's talk quickly and get over this, so I can go out earlier to breathe."

Peng Chuanyi shrank his neck: "Yes!"

Cui Mata's performance was also intentional.

Peng Chuanyi had something in his hand, so he had the confidence to take Joe.At the negotiating table, the status of whoever speaks out first seems to be lowered. He took the initiative to find Uncle Zhong first, just like he asked Peng Chuanyi for something.If he is too kind and caring when meeting, Peng Chuanyi will see the opportunity and increase the price...

He would not give Peng Chuanyi this chance.He asked Peng Chuanyi to know that although he wanted to get back the money he owed, the money was really not that important and he could let go at any time.Peng Chuanyi was different. Without him, no one would really want to save him.

He was the only person Peng Chuanyi could trust.

He wants to deepen this image.

"I heard...you're going to die?" Cui Yu seemed to dislike the smell of the prison, covering his mouth, nose and half of his face with a fan, his voice was as vague as his face, "Are you going to pay back the money you owe me in your next life?"

After Uncle Zhong brought the news, Peng Chuanyi thought about something alone, but he never thought that the meeting would be like this. Cui Yu seemed to... not care about him too much?I didn't plan how much effort I would have to save him...

Cui Yan seemed to have deciphered something from his dull expression, squinting his eyes and smiling silently: "Why, I wonder why I came to you?"

Peng Chuanyi nodded foolishly.

"Because I'm curious too," Cui Yu closed the house, and tapped the handle of the jade white fan on the palm of his hand, "I've never been in a prison, so I don't know what it's like here."

Peng Chuanyi was even more stupid: "Huh?"

"No one I know has ever lived here. I heard that there are rats here that eat the toes of living people. Is that true?"

Cui Mata had a solemn expression, as if he was really curious about this question.The reason why he was willing to come in was just to watch the excitement.

Peng Chuanyi's face suddenly collapsed: "Yes..."

"Then didn't you sleep well?"

Peng Chuanyi smiled wryly. This guy really doesn't know what it's like in this prison. If a living person is bitten by a mouse, what should he worry about is whether he can sleep well?Painful, frightening and uncomfortable, that is multi-layered torment!

Seeing the growing disgust between the noble young master's eyebrows and eyes, Peng Chuanyi didn't dare to be cautious and kowtowed a few times to Cui Yu: "I don't want to lie to Cui Ye, I have something to ask."

Cui Yu took a few steps back vigilantly, avoiding kneeling: "What are you going to do?"

"What can I do?" Peng Chuanyi smiled wryly, "I just want to ask you to save my life and give me justice."

Cui Yu suddenly laughed, leaning back and forth while laughing, clutching his stomach and straightening up: "Hahahaha—are you joking? You are in this death row, sentenced by the party officials of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, and you still want to reverse the case!"

"You said earlier that if I have any difficulties..."

Cui Yu interrupted him: "I mean that I can provide you with some special services, so that you can eat, drink, and leave comfortably, but that's not it."

Peng Chuanyi's eyes flickered, as if he had made up his mind: "Master Cui, do you know how much money my Peng family has?"

"Isn't he the richest man in Wencheng County?" Cui Yu tapped the handle of his fan on his palm, "I'm not talented, but I also know a few richest men, and they have a lot of money in their hands."

The implication is, what is rare?

Peng Chuanyi pursed his lips: "It's a coincidence that my family has a few boxes of old things from the former royal family... It's priceless, but no one else has it."

The former royal family?Isn't it Yuwen's family, Yang Xuan's grandfather!

Cui Yu narrowed his eyes: "You want to give them to me?"

"More than that, as long as you can rescue me, I will give you all the wealth of the Peng family!" Peng Chuanyi said this with force, as if placing a huge bet.

Cui Yu was silent for a while, then sighed softly: "Tsk tsk, such a big bet... This matter is not ordinary difficult."

Peng Chuanyi knocked a few more pairs: "To tell the truth, Master Cui, this matter is indeed not easy, but I have no one I can trust! As long as you are willing to help, my life, Peng Chuanyi, is yours. In the future, if you have orders , Daoshanhuohaiyouguo, if I blink, my surname will not be Peng!"

"Look at what you're saying, it seems like I'm so needy."

Peng Chuanyi's face turned pale.Cui Yu's words are considered polite, otherwise it would be 'like how powerful you are'...

A long silence followed.

Cui Yu didn't speak, just walked back and forth, as if he was considering whether to make this deal.

Peng Chuanyi was in a hurry, but he didn't dare to speak or remind him.After finally waiting for a noble person, if his performance is not good and his popularity jumps, where can he find a second person who is willing to save him!

After a long time, Peng Chuanyi almost lost his confidence, and when he was about to accept his fate as a dead fish again, the fan in Cui Yu's hand suddenly 'swiped' open: "Okay."

With just one word, Peng Chuanyi's tormented heart immediately seemed to be drenched with nectar from poplar branches, and then suddenly calmed down, and his whole life seemed to find a support.

"Xie Cui—"

"Don't thank me in a hurry," Cui Yan waved his fan, "I have to listen first, how difficult this matter is, and whether there will be any trouble if I do it."

Peng Chuanyi nodded again and again: "Yes, yes, I will tell you from beginning to end..."

He didn't know that Cui Yu had been paying attention to this matter all the time. He thought that Cui Yu didn't know anything. He explained in detail what Wencheng County was like at that time, how the Deng family colluded with the clan, and the details before and after his father's death. ...even including the wave of men in the prison who threatened and coaxed him, as well as the mysterious booklet.

"These people have been asking about the pamphlets. I really don't know. Later, I thought, it might have something to do with a batch of books my father gave me..." Peng Chuanyi thought carefully, "My father is not very kind to me, but he is not like Mrs. Deng thinks so badly, after all, I am his own son. About ten days before my father died, he called me to the study room and scolded me for not liking reading, and asked someone to buy a bunch of new books for me. I must study hard."

"He has been in the habit of scolding me like this and stuffing a pile of books for a long time. No one will suspect it, and neither do I. Moreover, these books were not given from the study on the spot, but later he asked the housekeeper to put them outside, so these I didn’t expect someone to ask me the other day. A few days ago, I suddenly felt something, and I remembered that there seemed to be a very thin and old book among those books, so I became suspicious..."

After Peng Chuanyi finished speaking obediently, he looked at Cui Yu seriously: "Although I don't know what this booklet is, but so many people want it, it must be a good thing! I'll give you this too, as long as you can help me!"

Cui Mata sighed lightly: "It's hard for you too."

As soon as these words fell, Peng Chuanyi also felt too wronged, tears fell down.

He didn't cry during the trial, he didn't cry when he was threatened, and he didn't cry when he was sentenced to death, but now, listening to Cui Yu's light words and seeing Cui Yu's pitiful expression, he couldn't hold back.

"Alas..." Cui Yu sighed again, handed Fang Supa over, and looked at Peng Chuanyi seriously, "Don't worry, I will save you once I agree."

Peng Chuanyi took the veil blankly, and when he heard this, he not only didn't stop, but also burst into tears.

Cui Yu glanced at Yang Xuan who was hiding in the dark, and sighed helplessly.

To him, Peng Chuanyi was a stranger who had little to do with each other, and he had no feelings for him, only a little bit of embarrassment about what happened to him.Earlier, he decided that since he wanted to take advantage of this case, he would at least accept Peng Chuanyi's favor, and spend some effort to help him find out the real culprit of his father's murder, so as to help him live a smooth life in the future.

But the decision is made, and it is still unavoidable to get used to playing tricks.Human nature is like this, if you express your sincerity gently first, others may not take it seriously, if you don't take it seriously first, then be gentle and sincere, others will be moved.

Look, the boys are so touched...

When Peng Chuanyi's crying stopped and his mood gradually stabilized, Cui Yu said, "Since I have accepted your request, then I will have the final say. You don't have to understand my decision, but you have to follow it. "

Peng Chuanyi's voice was firm: "Everything is at your command!"

"Very good." Cui Yu narrowed his eyes slightly, squatted in front of the prison door, hooked his fingers to let Peng Chuanyi come over, and whispered in his ear, "Next, you..."
