I traveled through time with my best friend.

Pei Zhijin frowned, "Why are you here?"

"You can be here, why can't I be here?" Jiang Xue suddenly realized something and covered her mouth in surprise as she looked at Pei Zhijin, "Could it be that the bloodshed outside was done by your people?"

Pei Zhijin didn't say anything, his eyes were fixed on Jiang Xue. Originally, the boat that Jiang Xue was on should have been the one that belonged to King Cheng's confidant, so why was it this woman? Could it be that this woman had some relationship with King Cheng?

"Why are you staring at me?" Jiang Xue suddenly took a few steps back. "Why? Now that I've exposed you, do you want to kill me to silence me?"

"Sir, Cui Yu has been caught." Wen Yu walked in holding Cui Yu's collar. His hand loosened and Cui Yu fell to the ground. When he saw Pei Zhijin, he became scared.

He quickly rolled and crawled to Pei Zhijin's feet, "Sir, I really have nothing to do with King Cheng, please don't kill me."

Wen Yu said disdainfully, "King Cheng went to such great lengths to get you out of the capital today, and you still say that you have no relationship with King Cheng?"

Cui Yu's expression was twisted, and he said quickly: "I was forced by King Cheng. I am just a small minister of the Ministry of Revenue. If I didn't follow King Cheng's wishes, I'm afraid I would have lost my life."

"Where is the disaster relief money sent to Anren County?" Pei Zhijin's voice sounded calm.

Cui Yu looked up at Pei Zhijin, and said with an expression as if he was about to cry: "Sir, I really don't know where the relief money is. I only gave King Cheng the route, and I really don't know anything else."

"You are just a minister, why would King Cheng go to so much trouble to send you out of the city?"

"I...I'm also trying to save my life." Cui Yu's experienced eyes rolled a few times.

Without waiting for Cui Yu to say the next word, the tip of the sword in Pei Zhijin's hand directly stabbed into the back of Cui Yu's hand.

"what!"

Jiang Xue was watching in amazement, she didn't even notice the sword in Pei Zhijin's hand.

Seeing the fierce look on Pei Zhijin's face, his heart skipped a beat. He had heard from Zhu Feng before that the people in the Northern Pacification Office were all vicious and ruthless, killing people without blinking an eye. Before, he only saw Pei Zhijin's good appearance and did not pay attention to what Zhu Feng said. He wondered how such a handsome man could be a devil who kills people without blinking an eye.

Now it seems that this is the fact. Jiang Xue silently took a step back, trying to find an opportunity to slip away, but the boat was surrounded by Pei Zhijin's men!

Jiang Xue was screaming in her heart, and she was starting to go crazy in her heart.

"I don't like doing useless things. Since I can find you, it means that the evidence is conclusive." As he said that, he slowly turned the sword in his hand. The sword inserted on the back of Cui Yu's hand slowly turned clockwise, twisting Cui Yu so much that he screamed.

Sweat immediately broke out on my face.

Jiang Xue couldn't bear to watch this bloody scene and turned around. Why did this man look like he was twisting something on the dough?

Cui Yu endured the pain and shouted loudly: "My lord, my lord, I will tell you, I will tell you everything."

Pei Zhijin stopped what he was doing and glanced at Wen Yu beside him, "Take him away."

"Yes."

Wen Yu walked forward quickly and walked down by the collar of Cui Yuyi.

Pei Zhijin looked at Jiang Xue again. He wanted to see Jiang Xue's reaction. If she was Cheng Wang's person, he would definitely be able to see something from her eyes.

Jiang Xue saw Pei Zhijin's eyes looking at her again, and her heart started pounding. After dealing with that person, was he going to deal with her now?

Thinking of this, Jiang Xue's mind started to work quickly. If she could leave here today, she swore that she would never covet beauty again and would definitely stay away from the man in front of her.

"You..." Pei Zhijin just opened his mouth, Jiang Xue's pupils dilated, and then she immediately closed her eyes and fell straight back.

Wenchuan quickly supported Jiang Xue from behind.

Pei Zhijin: “…” He hadn’t spoken yet, why did this woman faint?

Wenchuan could only support Jiang Xue's body with his arms, and looked at his master awkwardly and said, "Ahem, Master, she..."

"Check her identity."

"Yes." Wenchuan glanced at Jiang Xue, then at Pei Zhijin, his expression asking her what to do.

Pei Zhijin replied expressionlessly: "Put it there."

Wenchuan glanced at the table beside him, nodded and let it go.

Jiang Xue lay on the table with her eyes closed, thinking about how Pei Zhijin had just asked someone to check her identity. It seemed that he wanted to kill her. Fortunately, she fainted quickly.

At the lakeside, Wang Ziyan helped Lin Yiyi get off the boat. Lin Yiyi thanked him, "Thank you, young master." Then she immediately looked at the boat that was slowly approaching the shore with worried eyes.

"Why hasn't Xue'er come yet?"

Atong whispered to Wang Ziyan, "Young Marquis, the person on that boat is Lord Pei."

"Pei Zhijin?" Wang Ziyan was a little surprised, but then he thought of the fierce battle just now and his face calmed down again. "I guess the only person who can cause such a big commotion in the city is this Lord Pei?"

"Lord Pei?" Lin Yiyi looked at Wang Ziyan in confusion.

Wang Ziyan explained with a smile: "This Lord Pei is the commander of the Jinyiwei, in charge of the imperial prison. You two appeared in the trap he set today. He will definitely be suspicious of you. The girl on his boat is probably in danger."

"You mean, Xue'er will be taken to the Imperial Prison for interrogation?"

"possible."

Lin Yiyi suddenly became anxious. She and Jiang Xue really broke in accidentally. What would happen if Xue'er was taken to the imperial prison?

In a hurry, Lin Yiyi had no choice but to ask Wang Ziyan for help. She looked at him with a pair of watery eyes, "Young Marquis, can I trouble you for something?"

Wang Ziyan looked at Lin Yiyi's watery eyes, and was slightly stunned. Then he realized it belatedly and said, "Miss, please speak."

"Can you send someone to the General's Mansion?"

Wang Ziyan pointed to the boat that was slowly approaching and asked, "Is the person on that boat General Jiang's daughter?"

"Exactly."

"Okay, I'll send someone to tell General Jiang right away."

"Thank you, young marquis. I will leave now."

"Where are you going? I'll have someone take you there."

"No." Lin Yiyi quickly refused. She didn't want the young marquis to know that she was Lin Yiyi. After saying that, she quickly turned around and left.

Wang Ziyan looked at Lin Yiyi's increasingly quick pace and anxiously shouted, "What's your name, young lady? Are you from Beijing?"

The words that were spoken were instantly lost in the bustling crowd, and Lin Yiyi disappeared into the crowd without even turning her head.

Somehow, Wang Ziyan felt disappointed and muttered, "I wonder if there will be another chance to meet again."

On the boat, Jiang Xue’s hands were numb from lying down, and she wondered why this person kept sitting next to her and had no intention of leaving?

Pei Zhijin saw Jiang Xue frowning slightly, then put down the teacup in his hand and said, "Are you awake?"

Who is he talking to? Jiang Xue wondered.

"Someone from the Jiang family will be here soon."

Jiang Xue immediately opened her eyes and exclaimed, "What?"
