The daily life of a talented young husband who travels through a book and suffers from cruelty

Chapter 186 The Candidates (Part )

[Southeast Province, an inn in the provincial capital. 】

Jie Yan led a team of people on the road overnight and arrived at the capital of Southeast Province at the end of August. At this time, he was staying in a certain inn to join the team that had been following Mrs. Pei and listen to the report from the leader of the tracking team.

"There are three of us, and we followed from the capital to the provincial capital. Mrs. Pei originally settled in the inn diagonally opposite, but we lost her with... on August . Only unknown people were left in the inn. The guards, servants and maids who were at a loss, Mrs. Pei herself didn't know where she went. The guards and maids also left the inn a few days ago. I don't think it's useless to follow a bunch of maids. Here we are waiting for you."

Jie Yan had a sullen face, unable to tell whether he was happy or angry. After the leader of the tracking team finished his report, he didn’t dare to say a single word. He sneaked a few glances at Jie Yan, who didn’t speak after listening to the report. Word: "Tell me in detail."

The tracking team leader had no choice but to continue reporting.

"It was in the early morning of August th. A brother in charge of monitoring told me that Mrs. Pei was wearing a jeweled dress and went out. I went to the roof and saw that it was Mrs. Pei's back. Her hair was the same as she combed yesterday. The dress is exactly the same, this dress was also worn on the road, we all recognize it, I asked my brother to follow to see who she is going to meet..."

The leader of the tracking team paused to take a sip of water, and Jie Yan asked, "And then?"

"Then it was weird," the team leader continued, "After a while, there was another Mrs. Pei who was dressed exactly the same as before! I didn't believe it when the team members came to report to me. I went to the roof to look again, and it turned out to be true! Then Mrs. Pei turned right when she left the inn door, and she could only see her back, but not her face. I thought we might have been tricked, but there was no way, What if the first Mrs. Pei is a cover and this is the real thing? I can only follow up to see what happened, and I will send another brother to follow up."

"You also know that before Manager Wu just arranged for us to be responsible for tracking. There were only three people in total. After the two brothers sent out, I was left squatting on the roof alone. But not long after the second Mrs. Pei went out, I saw A Mrs. Pei! I walked out of the inn in exactly the same clothes as before. I was a little hesitant. If I also followed, no one would be guarding here. plan?"

"But if I don't catch up, if this third Mrs. Pei is real, then wouldn't I have let the real Mrs. Pei go for nothing? At that time, I was very entangled, who made us only three! At that time Manager Wu only said to follow, there are too many people, and it is easy to leak the news, I feel that the three people change shifts and rest enough, I did not expect to encounter such a situation!"

"So I thought I could only try my luck to see if Mrs. Pei's bet was right or I was right, so I followed the third Mrs. Pei, and ended up following her around. In the end, she walked very fast, unlike The woman stretched out her hand like that and walked into an alley. When I followed up again, I saw the fake Mrs. Pei's clothes lying on the ground, but she had long since disappeared and was never found again! Later, I returned to the inn , the other two brothers also came back, and they all suffered the same experience as me."

After finishing speaking, the tracking team leader patted his thigh: "Why do you think this woman is so cunning? Why are you so thoughtful!"

After listening to the report, Jie Yan took a deep breath, and then uttered two words: "Idiot."

The leader of the tracking team was dissatisfied: "Then tell me, what better way do you have in this situation?"

Jie Yan said: "First of all, I will not let the other party realize that I have been followed, and I will not let the other party find out that there are three people following me. No one will bet with you. As many people as you have, she will have as many Mrs. Pei."

The leader of the tracking team immediately lowered his head and said, "Then... Then Boss Xie, what should we do now?"

Jie Yan said: "The original plan was to catch Mrs. Pei first, ask her son's whereabouts, then use her to lure her son out, and finally clean up the two of them together. Now that you have lost your track, you can only find another way. You three idiots It is useless to stay in the provincial capital, I will arrange other tasks for you. If you do a good job and find someone, you will be punished. If you can’t find anyone, you know how to punish Yan Concubine for her inefficiency.”

The captain and the other two hurriedly knelt down to Jie Yan and cried, "Boss Xie, spare your life! I beg you to spare us!"

Xie Yan snorted coldly and said, "If you want to spare your life, follow my instructions and take your people to Baima Village, Jinsha Town, and finish what I have told you."

At this moment, an assassin beside Jie Yan asked, "Boss, don't we need to go to Baima Village?"

Xie Yan said: "Go, but not now. I heard that Mrs. Pei's son is a good student. He went to the provincial capital to take the provincial examination. Why don't we wait for the results of the provincial examination in half a month and see if there is anyone named Pei on the list. If so, Just follow the person who announces the good news, and you can find the whereabouts of this Mr. Pei without any effort."

Fast forward to mid-September.

Li Xiaodao no longer went to work. Two days ago, Boss Wan specially organized a farewell banquet for her and Pei Zhiqi. The banquet was held in the Wanjia Courtyard on Jingde Mountain. Not only Li Xiaodao's apprentice friends, but also Pei Zhiqi's teacher and classmate.

The teachers and classmates all suggested that Pei Zhiqi should wait for the results of the provincial examination first. If he got the result, he would not have to go back. He could take the government carriage directly from the provincial capital to Beijing. Everyone sighed and began to discuss how hard it was to travel to the capital alone.

Pei Zhiqi wrote out the essay for the local examination just after he finished the exam and gave it to the teacher. After reading it, Xie Youqi praised him again and again, saying that he would definitely get it this year, and posted the essay on the college list, along with the essays of several other outstanding students Accept reading and critiques from others.During the farewell banquet, apart from the difficult journey to Beijing, the most talked about article was Pei Zhiqi's article.

September th is the day when the list is released. On this day, Li Xiaodao got up early in the morning, cleaned the front and back of the house, tidied up the house, tidied up the guest room early, and asked the husband to replace it with a clean new one. New clothes and shoes, and he was not allowed to do rough work so as not to mess up his neat personal image.

Fearing that there would be too many people, she also wrapped a total of ten red envelopes, one big and nine small, and put them on a plate covered with red cloth early.

The tea and snacks were also prepared, and I was busy in the kitchen all morning, preparing five dishes and one soup, and when the sky was bright, everything was ready and I was waiting for the good news.

"My lady...you don't have to be like this..." Pei Zhiqi didn't have a chance to finish his sentence. As soon as he entered the yard and wanted to help with something, Li Xiaodao pushed him back into the main room.

"Sir, don't do anything today, just sit in the room and wait!" Li Xiaodao laughed while wiping the sweat off his brow.

"My lady, please sit down and rest for a while. It doesn't matter what happens today." After saying that, Pei Zhiqi led Li Xiaodao into the main room and asked her to sit down and drink some water.

"How could it be possible not to win? I have never doubted that Xianggong will not win! This time, Xianggong will definitely be the top of the high school list, and he must understand Yuan Yijin's return!" Li Xiaodao laughed while drinking herbal tea.
