I traveled through time with my best friend.

"You...and the Xu family, your carefree days are over, Wenchuan!"

"My subordinate is here."

"Notify the Anzhou government office that the Xu family has no regard for the law, has privately executed people, and has taken no life. According to the laws of the Chili Kingdom, they will be immediately imprisoned and await execution."

When Xu Hong heard this, his body trembled violently, and then he immediately said: "Master Pei, how can you arrest people without any evidence?"

"Isn't this evidence?" Pei Zhijin asked with a raised eyebrow.

"My son was injured. Is it wrong for me to seek justice for him?"

"Once we get into the yamen, we'll have the evidence." Pei Zhijin was obviously a little impatient.

He looked at Wenchuan and said, "Do you want me to go to the government office in person to pass on the message?"

Wenchuan reacted immediately, looking a little surprised, but he nodded obediently and walked out immediately.

Not only Wenchuan, even Jiang Xue was a little surprised. Didn't Pei Zhijin always just use evidence to make his point? What happened today? Why was he so reckless? But the momentum just now was really refreshing.

"Is the Jinyiwei so careless in doing things?"

"Whether I am careless or not is none of your business."

"Humph." Xu Hong angrily swung his sleeves and said, "You want to catch me, I'm afraid it won't be that easy."

As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Hong's men immediately surrounded him and said, "Since Lord Pei is so anxious, I will send you on your way."

Then the door of the Red Mansion was closed, and Xu Hong pointed at Pei Zhijin with murderous eyes and said, "Kill them."

Pei Zhijin immediately protected Jiang Xue behind him and quickly blocked the oncoming knife.

With a clang sound, Jiang Xue covered her ears, and Zhu Feng also started fighting with those people.

Xu Hong originally wanted to lower his posture and settle the matter peacefully, but Pei Zhijin didn't seem to want to let the Xu family go, so he had to strike first. Anyway, he had King Cheng behind him, and if one Jinyiwei died, King Cheng would surely take care of it for him.

There were sounds of swords clashing and a series of screams in the lobby. Jiang Xue watched Pei Zhijin swiftly deal with the people who caught up with him.

He couldn't help but exclaimed, "This is so powerful that it's against the will of heaven."

Just as she finished praising, a person flew to her feet. This person was one of Xu Hong's many men. Jiang Xue lowered her head and looked at the person lying on the ground.

His eyes curved slightly, the corners of his mouth curled up, and then he punched the man in the face.

"Sorry, I was a little too rough." Jiang Xue said with a smile as she looked at the man who was covering her face.

"you……"

Bang!

Jiang Xue punched him again, and the man fainted completely.

"If you want to blame someone, blame yourself for following the wrong master." As soon as Jiang Xue finished speaking, she looked up to see what was going on with Pei Zhijin.

Unexpectedly, as soon as she raised her head, a gust of wind blew towards her face. The next second, Jiang Xue felt a chill on her neck, as if a cold dagger was against her neck.

The cold touch made Jiang Xue shudder all over. She instinctively took out the poison from her sleeve and was ready to sprinkle it at the man.

The person behind him warned: "You'd better not act rashly, this dagger has no eyes."

Jiang Xue frowned, tightly grasping the poison in her palm, and said, "Humph, a sneak attack from behind is the work of a villain."

"Heh." Then he pushed Jiang Xue forward and shouted to Pei Zhijin who was still in the melee: "Stop!"

Pei Zhijin kicked the attacker away, then turned to look at the source of the sound, only to see Jiang Xue being held hostage.

Pei Zhijin's pupils shrank sharply, and the people around him stopped their actions. Xu Hong's proud voice rang out, "Master Pei, you lose."

Zhu Feng saw his young lady being held hostage, and he shouted, "Let my young lady go."

The man behind Jiang Xue was wearing a black suit and had a vicious look in his eyes. He looked at Pei Zhijin and said, "Master Pei, I think we can talk?"

Pei Zhijin looked at the man with cold eyes and asked, "What do you want to talk about?"

"Don't interfere in Anzhou's affairs, and leave Anzhou immediately."

Jiang Xue hated being threatened or using herself to threaten others the most. She looked at Pei Zhijin calmly and said, "Master Pei, you don't have to worry about me. Just do what you have to do."

Pei Zhijin tightly grasped the sword in his hand. Although he looked calm, he became nervous when he saw Jiang Xue being held hostage.

Their eyes met, and a hint of worry flashed across Pei Zhijin's eyes, while Jiang Xue's eyes remained calm.

"Okay, I promise you, let her go."

"Master Pei is really a straightforward person, but I can't let her go now."

"what do you want?"

"I will release her after Master Pei leaves Anzhou."

When Xu Hong heard that Wang Kui was going to release Pei Zhijin, he hurriedly said, "Wang Kui, you can't let him go."

Wang Kui frowned and looked at Xu Hong and said, "Master Xu, this is what the higher-ups mean."

At this time, on the second floor, Wang Ziyan and Lin Yiyi had quietly climbed into the Red Building from the back. Xu Mu's mournful voice came from the room, mixed with curses.

"Get out, all of you!"

All the servants in the room were driven out by Xu Mu. Wang Ziyan and Lin Yiyi hid outside. After everyone left, the two quickly entered the room.

With a click, the door was closed.

Xu Mu was already very upset. His life was destroyed by someone else. He was angry but had nowhere to vent. He was holding back a ball of anger. When he heard the footsteps, he cursed loudly: "Are you tired of living? Do you believe that I will make you childless?"

After Xu Mu finished yelling, he saw Wang Ziyan and Lin Yiyi standing beside his bed.

Xu Mu recognized Lin Yiyi as the one who attacked him last night. He pointed at her with shocked eyes and said, "You, you, you..."

Lin Yiyi stood behind Wang Ziyan, staring at Xu Mu with a pair of dark eyes. Xu Mu looked at Lin Yiyi's deep eyes, and suddenly he felt as if he had fallen into a deep abyss, with a hollow voice echoing in his ears.

"You didn't see clearly the appearance of the girl who hurt you last night." Xu Mu kept recalling this sentence in his mind.

After a moment, Xu Mu's hand that was pointing at Lin Yiyi dropped, his eyes became lifeless, and he murmured, "I can't see the woman's face clearly."

"I can't see the woman's face clearly."

Wang Ziyan bent down strangely and waved in front of Xu Mu, "Hey, what's wrong with you?"

However, Xu Mu did not respond.

Wang Ziyan looked at Lin Yiyi and said, "Could he be possessed by an evil spirit?"

Lin Yiyi's eyes, which had been very deep just now, now turned into a pair of innocent almond-shaped eyes. She looked at Wang Ziyan and said, "I don't know. It's more important to do business."

"Yes." Wang Ziyan didn't think too much about it and directly pulled Xu Mu off the bed.

The atmosphere on the first floor was very depressing. Pei Zhijin wanted Wang Kui to release Jiang Xue, and Xu Hong asked Wang Kui to kill them both. However, Wang Kui refused, and the few of them were in a tense confrontation.

All he heard was Xu Hong angrily saying to Wang Kui: "Wang Kui, don't forget who is the master. I order you to kill them now!"

Wang Kui's hand holding the dagger was throbbing with veins, and he was very reluctant, but when he thought that he still needed Xu Hong to give him the antidote, he had no choice but to nod and said, "Okay."

"Stop it!" Wang Ziyan's voice suddenly sounded.
