After living a new life for my neighbor's grandmother, I traveled through the book again

After Tong Jia handed the comatose Pei Yingxue and the silver dollars and gold collected from the Pei family as an unexpected discovery to Yuan Shengnan, she took Tao Junle down the mountain and returned to school.

When we went down the mountain, there was no one at the checkpoint, and even the rifles with bayonets were thrown on the ground in a mess.

Tong Jia looked around and saw no one, so he put all the guns into the RV.

She estimated that Yuan Shengnan would move the silver dollars and gold at the latest this afternoon.

After the gun was taken away, even if the people at the checkpoint were alert, they would not dare to stop it because their limbs were weak from the laxatives and they had no weapons.

After that, the two of them returned to school smoothly.

However, not long after Tong Jia entered the school, she always felt as if someone was watching her.

Not only she had this feeling, but Tao Junle also had it.

Because Tao Junle cannot speak, in order to know his thoughts in time, Tong Jia always holds his hand tightly when they go out.

So, the two of them quickly exchanged ideas by writing on their palms.

If one person has this feeling, it may be an illusion, but if two people have this feeling at the same time, then it should not be an illusion.

If they had felt it before entering the school, the two of them could have turned around and left to a safe place in time.

But now that they have entered the school, that gaze, like a poisonous snake staring at its prey, seems to be coming from a different direction.

Now, this school is like a big jar. It is difficult for her and Tao Junle to escape. They can only respond to each situation and adapt to it.

The two people tried their best to remain as they were, not wanting others to see how panicked they were.

When Tong Jia saw a water tank at the dormitory door, she deliberately said loudly: "Le Le, look, this water tank must have been sent to us by Aunt Qi.

Didn’t you complain to me before that it was too troublesome to have to go to the faucet every time you needed water?

It will be fine in the future. With this water tank, we can fill it up at once, and the water inside should be enough for us to use for four or five days...

Butler Pei, why are you here?

Have you found Yingxue? Is she okay? "

Tong Jia was talking to Tao Junle around the water tank while observing the surrounding situation.

As they were talking, Butler Pei appeared.

Tong Jia was quite panicked when she didn't know who was staring at her. She pretended to be calm in order not to scare Tao Junle.

When she saw Butler Pei appear, she was no longer panicked.

Tong Jia thought: It seems that my previous guess was correct. The Pei family couldn't find Pei Yingxue, so they planned to use me as a replacement.

But most of the Pei family's property was burned down. The family property that could be moved was taken away by themselves to make offerings, and the property that could not be moved was also burned.

Those Fuso people were almost wiped out in that fire. Why would the Pei family still want to use themselves as their replacement?

With such doubts, she deliberately gave Butler Pei a message when he appeared, which was also an excuse.

If Butler Pei said that Pei Yingxue had not been found, then the only purpose of coming here this time would be to ask her again whether Pei Yingxue had contacted her.

If Butler Pei said that Pei Yingxue had been found, then he probably wanted to trick her into going somewhere.

Sure enough, after hearing Tong Jia's question, Butler Pei, who had a fierce look on his face just now, immediately changed into a flattering smile.

He said, "Thanks to Miss Tong, we finally found her. But she's still mad at the master and the mistress, and she hasn't eaten anything since she came back.

My master is worried that the young lady’s health won’t be able to bear it if things continue like this, so he specially sent me to invite Miss Tong over.

Our young lady will listen to you, and please come with me, Miss Tong."

Tong Jia nodded and said, "It's no problem to make the trip, but I have to move the water tank into the house and find someone to help me look after my brother before I can go over.

Otherwise, Butler Pei, please give me the address. I'll find someone to help look after my brother, and then I can go there myself."

Butler Pei was afraid that she would run away, so of course he would not agree.

He raised his hand and waved, and four burly men stood up from behind the flower bed, big tree, water room and the rostrum in the playground.

He looked so aggressive, as if he wanted to eat Tong Jia alive.

Tong Jia held Tao Junle's hand tightly with one hand, and with the other hand, she was ready to pull out a gun from the RV at any time.

Before Tong Jia could take out the gun, a gunshot was heard behind him.

The sound came from her dormitory.

Tong Jia was completely stunned.

There shouldn't be anyone in her dormitory. She quickly used her mind to sense the guns and ammunition in the RV. They were all inside, so it was impossible for them to get out from here.

But there was indeed a bloodstain on the window. There was no doubt that someone was shot in the house, but the magical thing was that this person did not make any groaning after being shot.

Was he killed by a single shot, or did he already have no vital signs before being shot?

Faced with this sudden change, Tong Jia's mind was in a mess, but her hand held Tao Junle's hand even tighter.

Tao Junle also shook her hand back, silently giving Tong Jia support in this way.

After the gunshots were heard in the dormitory, Butler Pei had been observing Tong Jia's reaction. After seeing that her eyes indeed revealed fear and helplessness, he waved at the four burly men.

As if someone was shouting commands, the four men each took out a gun from their waist and fired a shot into the sky "bang, bang, bang, bang".

Although the movements were consistent, the gunshots were intermittent, not as coordinated as the movements of four people.

Immediately afterwards, the four people ran towards Tong Jia's dormitory, rushed forward, and directly broke open the door of Tong Jia's dormitory.

The door was knocked back, and if Butler Pei had not quickly held the door panel, the bloody man lying on the floor of the dormitory would have been almost crushed under the door panel.

Tong Jia saw the bloody hole on the man's temple at a glance, and recognized that the person in front of her was Pei Yingxue's brother Pei Shixun.

She couldn't understand why Pei Yingxue's brother, whom she had only met once, would come to her dormitory and commit suicide?

Butler Pei didn't give Tong Jia time to figure it out. He took the rope from a burly man and tied Tong Jia and Tao Junle's hands together.

While tying her up, she cried and shouted, "Miss Tong, we came here with good intentions to invite you to the Pei family as a guest. If you don't want to, then forget it, but why did you kill my eldest young master?

Poor my eldest son just became a father three days ago... wuwu...

Killing someone means paying with your life. Miss Tong, I'm sorry, I have to take you back and hand you over to our master for disposal.

You two, keep these two guys under guard.

You two, carry the young master up, and let's go back and announce the death."

In the chaos, Tong Jia put the large water tank at the door of the dormitory into the RV, and took advantage of her slow walk to carefully observe the body of Pei Yingxue's brother.

He was covered in blood, and his grey gown had long since turned brown.

Because the clothes were covering his body, the exact nature of the injuries could not be seen, but the burn marks on his face were vaguely visible.

burn?

Could it be that Pei Shixun was at the Pei family's house when the fire broke out, which is why he was burned like this?

This type of burn covering a large area of the body can cause skin necrosis and numerous complications. Even in later times with advanced medical science, it is difficult to treat, let alone in the Republican era.

Tong Jia could somewhat understand why Pei Shixun committed suicide, but why did he run away from home and specifically go to the dormitory of his sister's classmate to commit suicide?

When I went out, I locked the dormitory door.

Pei Shixun was a man covered in wounds, so it was impossible for him to go in by himself. He had to be carried in by others.

If nothing unexpected happens, the people who carried him in should be the same people who are carrying him back to the Pei family now.

Then Tong Jia thought of a possibility.

Pei Shixun probably knew that he was going to die, so he planned to use his own life to threaten Tong Jia, so as to achieve his goal of sending Tong Jia to Fuso to replace Pei Yingxue.

I have to say, Tong Jia was half right.

Pei Yingxue's elder brother Pei Shixun was indeed at the Pei family when the fire broke out.

At that time, he was trying to persuade the official from Fuso Kingdom to agree to replace Pei Yingxue with Tong Jia.

The reason they wanted to send Pei Yingxue to Fusang was to let her receive special education in Fusang, and then come back to become an imperial concubine or even a queen.

But Pei Yingxue ran away, so the following steps are unnecessary. Their Pei family will not rely on an outsider.

But there still need to be people who go to Fuso to receive special education.

Tong Jia, whose parents had both passed away and who was alone with her mute brother to study, became the best candidate.

She is the same age as Pei Yingxue, and has a younger brother to control. Most importantly, she is prettier than Pei Yingxue.

For the safety of his entire family, he not only wanted to sacrifice Tong Jia, a person who had nothing to do with the matter, but also said that he could give up all the property taken away by the Fuso people. In exchange, the officials of the Fuso country needed to guarantee that after the restoration, the Pei family would produce at least three provincial governors.

With his eloquent speech, he actually persuaded the officials of Fuso Kingdom.

Just as the two were about to raise their glasses to celebrate, someone came to report that there was a fire at Pei's house.

The first reaction of the Fusang officials was to escape. But Pei Shixun, who was very clever, wanted to take advantage of the chaos to get something from the storehouse.

As a result, he was not only affected by the first explosion, but was also beaten up by the Fuso soldiers in the yard who did not have time to run away.

Pei Shixun was carried back to the Pei family's temporary residence by the Fuso people. Knowing that he had not much time left, he discussed with his father for a long time and decided to die a worthy death.

The main reason why he committed suicide in Tong Jia's dormitory was not to use this handle to blackmail Tong Jia.

If you want to control Tong Jia, Tao Junle is enough.

The reason why Pei Shixun did this was actually to completely cut off Tong Jia's retreat.

Even if Tong Jia had a mouth all over her body, she would not be able to explain to everyone clearly how a man covered in blood could enter the dormitory with the doors and windows closed.

In this way, Tong Jia can be put in jail under the name of a criminal case first, and then sent to Fuso Kingdom after she has been trained enough.

Because this time we will be trained in China first, unlike in Fuso where we are unfamiliar with the place.

Worried that Tong Jia would find loopholes in the prison guards' poor supervision and take the opportunity to escape, he came up with this good plan that killed three birds with one stone.

The first reason was naturally to find a reasonable reason for Tong Jia's disappearance, otherwise he would not be able to explain it to the school.

He was imprisoned for a murder case and no one could find fault with him.

Secondly, it ruined Tong Jia's reputation. Even if Tong Jia was lucky enough to escape one day, she would be looked down upon and despised by others because of her ruined reputation, which would destroy her self-esteem and leave her with nowhere to go.

In order to survive, she had no choice but to go back.

The third is that Pei Shixun himself does not want to continue living and enduring pain, so he can end the pain like ants gnawing at his bones and be completely relieved by shooting himself.

Although Pei's father couldn't bear it, he knew in his heart that his son would not live long. Rather than suffering in life, it would be better for him to be free early.

So he asked Butler Pei to take people to Tong Jia's dormitory.

This is how the scene just now appeared.

Things turned out just as Pei Shixun expected.

After the gunshots rang out one after another, the students and teachers who stayed in the school saw the scene of Butler Pei robbing and plundering.

They saw it, but seeing that they were trying to protect themselves, not even one person stood up to tell the truth and prevent Tong Jia and Tao Junle from being taken away privately by Butler Pei.

It would be a lie for Tong Jia to say that she wasn't disappointed, but she understood the principle of keeping one's head down.

Although there are not many people left in the school now, when school starts next year, this matter will spread from one person to ten, and from ten to a hundred.

And what about Tong Jia? Her mind wasn't on these children at all. She was brainstorming how to get out of this predicament.

Ever since she realized that she was deliberately set up by the Pei family, she regretted that she should have set off a few bombs yesterday. The power would definitely be stronger than firecrackers, and at least she would not have been left with Pei Shixun, the scourge.

But it's too late to say anything now.

If the Pei family wants me to replace Pei Yingxue, then my personal safety is guaranteed, but... what about Tao Junle?

Under normal circumstances, Tao Junle might be used to threaten you to make you obey.

But she just didn't know whether the person in charge this time was the Pei family or the Fuso people.

The perversion of the Fuso people is well known.

She was not worried about others using Tao Junle to threaten her, but she was worried about someone using Tao Junle to test her obedience.

For example, killing him so that you can live.

I won't kill Tao Junle, but I'm afraid that this silly kid will commit suicide on the spot to protect himself, which would be bad.

For the safety of herself and Tao Junle, she wrote all the possibilities she could think of on the palm of her hand under the cover of a rope so that Tao Junle could feel it.

On the way to the Pei family villa, the two men discussed several plans to counter the opponent's moves.

Tong Jia had already made plans. Even if the existence of the RV space would be exposed, she had to enter the RV in an emergency to ensure her and Tao Junle's lives.

When she comes out again, she can sprinkle out all the drugs, laxatives, itching powder, pain powder and so on.

She just didn't believe that these ordinary people in the Pei family could withstand the medicine given by Meng Po.
