The Eternal Beauty of the City of Wealth

Tomorrow is the 15th day of the seventh lunar month. Mrs. Peng has also ordered people to prepare gold and silver paper money, intending to visit her parents' graves to pay tribute.

The Peng family's ancestral tomb is about ten miles away from Guicheng. Because it is a mountain road, the driver drove very slowly.

Mrs. Peng sat in the car admiring the beautiful scenery outside the window and was in a very good mood.

I haven't left the palace for a long time, so I must have a good time this time.

After giving paper money to her parents, she prepared to return to the city's entertainment city to have some fun.

The car had just driven halfway when a small truck suddenly rushed over from the opposite direction and rammed into Peng's car.

Because the accident happened suddenly, before the driver could react, both the driver and the car fell off the cliff.

The small truck also fell down. After the two vehicles fell down, there was a loud bang and they exploded and caught fire.

Half an hour later, the two cars and Mr. Peng in them were burned to charcoal.

Seeing this, pedestrians on the road quickly called for help.

In Peng Qi's living room, Peng Qi was drinking tea leisurely.

Ever since his daughter was chosen to become Prince Xu's fiancée, officials of all ranks in the court have come to visit and establish relationships with him.

Immediately, the entrance of Peng Qi's villa was bustling with traffic every day.

He had just seen off two fifth-rank officials and sat down to drink a cup of tea.

Sun Liu walked in. He looked around and saw that no one was around. He then approached Peng Qi and whispered, "Sir, that thing was successful."

Peng Qi was delighted: "Is he dead?"

Sun Liu nodded heavily: "The master is dead, completely dead."

Peng Qi frowned. Why did this sentence sound so awkward?

He waved his hand a little unhappily: "Be more specific!"

"Here! Today your aunt is leaving the palace to visit the graves of your deceased grandfather, grandmother, and parents."

"The people I sent discovered it, so my subordinates sent Zhou Chi to drive a car and perform a suicide crash."

Peng Qi glared at Sun Liu and said, "Fuck you! Do you know how to talk?"

"What the hell are you talking about? My dead grandparents, my dead parents! If you keep spewing shit, I'll kill you!"

Sun Liu was puzzled and scratched his head in confusion: "Sir, is this what I meant?"

He has forgotten what he just said. Did he say such a thing?

Seeing him stunned, Peng Qi shouted again, "Go on!"

"Look! That Zhou Chi is a big gambler. He lost a lot of money in the casino in the entertainment city and owed a lot of foreign debts."

"My mother is seriously ill again, and because his household registration is not in Fugui City, he cannot enjoy free medical care."

"So I had no money to pay for my mother's medical treatment, so I approached my subordinates to borrow money from me."

"I saw this as a good opportunity, so I negotiated with him. If he's willing to run over Mrs. Peng with his car, I'll pay for the foreign debt and my mother's medical expenses."

"So, Zhou Chi was moved and agreed to go and kill the adult. Ah! It was my aunt."

Bang! Sun Liu slapped himself hard in the face. What happened to my mouth today?

When Peng Qi saw Sun Liu slap him in the face, he suppressed his anger and did not bother with him because of Sun Liu's efficiency.

She glared at him again and said, "Why are you talking so much nonsense? Keep talking!"

Here! Here! Sun Liu wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said, "I sent someone to tamper with the brakes."

"Zhou Chi hit you, no, I mean he hit your aunt's car. Both cars fell off the cliff and caught fire and she died."

Peng Qi nodded in satisfaction: "Well, very good! Well done, go get your reward!"

Sun Liu happily agreed and ran out, pinching his lips hard when he got outside.

Peng Qi breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that his aunt and the driver were dead. He cursed inwardly, "Bitch! You asked for this!"

Zixuan finished his lunch and was about to take a nap when the phone suddenly rang.

She opened the call and saw that it was from the Ministry of Communications's Bureau of Public Security, so she pressed the answer button.

Qi Si said that this morning, two cars collided on a road near a cliff and both fell off the cliff, resulting in the destruction of the cars and the deaths of the people on board.

After an on-site inspection of the deceased's vehicle, it was determined to be the vehicle of Concubine Peng in the harem.

There were four people killed in the car: a driver and three women.

Qi Si suspected that the three women were Aunt Peng and two maids.

Please ask Zixuan to go to the harem to check whether Aunt Peng is out.

Zixuan felt a tightness in his heart after hearing this, and quickly hung up the phone and walked towards the harem.

When I arrived at Aunt Peng's villa, I found the door was locked and no one was inside.

She quickly called over a palace servant and asked him if he knew where Aunt Peng had gone.

The palace maid told her that after dinner, Aunt Peng took two maids to the back mountain outside Guicheng to burn paper at the grave.

Zixuan trembled after hearing this. It was over. It seemed that Aunt Peng was in great danger.

She immediately called back: "Qi Si, I have confirmed that Concubine Peng is not in the palace."

"You must investigate the matter thoroughly and find out how she got into the accident!"

After hanging up the phone, she called Qiwu over again and said, "Qiwu, send some people to assist Qi Si in investigating Aunt Peng's car accident. We must get to the bottom of this matter."

After a joint investigation by the two departments, the final answer was.

The truck driver Zhou Chi's brakes failed, causing Aunt Peng to die in a car accident.

Zixuan and everyone in the palace were very sad when they heard the news.

She urged everyone to be more careful when going out in the future.

The drivers were also asked to check all the vehicles to see if there were any problems and resolve them in a timely manner.

Zixu was shocked to hear the news; it was over, he was counting on his aunt to help him, but now it was all gone.

It seems that I have to think of other ways to cancel this marriage.

In Yan Ying's mansion in Linzi City, Yan Ying heard that Cui Zhu was coming to visit and hurried out to greet him.

He came close to Cui Zhu, bowed, and said, "I didn't know you were coming. I apologize for not welcoming you. I hope you will forgive me."

Cui Zhu grabbed Yan Ying's arm and laughed heartily: "Pingzhong, you are wrong. It was Cui Zhu's sudden visit that disturbed Your Majesty. Pingzhong should forgive me."

"No, no, sir, please come in quickly!"

After exchanging a few pleasantries, the two walked into the living room hand in hand.

After sitting down, Yan Ying ordered the servants to serve tea. After the tea was finished, Yan Ying asked, "I wonder if you have any advice for me since you have come to my humble home?"

Cui Zhu smiled slightly and said, "I heard that Pingzhong wrote a letter to Fuguicheng. I wonder if you can reply?"

Yan Ying was stunned. How could he know that he had written a letter to Zixuan? "Sir, Zixuan didn't reply."

Cui Zhu nodded: "It seems that City Lord Zixuan has also seen through Jiang Guang's character and is unwilling to help him."

Yan Ying shook her head. "Not necessarily. Based on my understanding of her over the years, even if Zixuan didn't help Jiang Guang, she wouldn't just ignore the invasion of the princes."

Cui Zhu nodded and asked, "Pingzhong, what are your thoughts on the king's approach to dealing with the State of Jin?"

Yan Ying looked at Cui Zhu and said, "Master Cui, I am not afraid that you will inform the king, so I will tell you the truth today."
