Without money, what is the point of being a traitor?

Chapter 105 Impossible, absolutely impossible!
Pei Yuan just smiled.

He was already tall and strong, so Song Chunniang's light body was nothing to him.

He put the bewildered Song Chunniang on his shoulders, laughed and said, "Let's go."

Song Chunniang had a very good sense of balance. When she was dragged backwards by Pei Yuan in front of the bookstore just now, she was still able to keep her steps steady and deflect many hidden weapons. Now, she put her arm around Pei Yuan's neck, trying to calm the anxiety in her heart.

It was precisely because the two were very close and she was focused that she could clearly see the light in Pei Yuan's eyes slowly fade away, and the smile on his face also disappeared bit by bit.

The man who had laughed so loudly and with such high spirits just now, gradually became gloomy.

Song Chunniang pursed her lips, feeling unexpectedly uncomfortable.

She thought for a moment and suggested, "Put me down, and before they can react, I'll see if I can find out where they came from."

"Need not."

Pei Yuan said this, with a smile on his face again.

But that smile was extremely ugly, like a ferocious beast with strong impact, suddenly showing its teeth.

Song Chunniang tightened her grip around Pei Yuan's neck and asked tentatively, "So, you know who is targeting us?"

Pei Yuan hummed, and said softly, "I was really too naive before."

He originally thought that in this dull and hopeless world, as long as he didn't think too far ahead, he could live happily.

But I didn't expect that even if I lay down and fell asleep, the nightmare would still not forgive me.

Just half a day ago, Pei Yuan still made an optimistic estimate.

He believed that before receiving the tax silver, he and the Jiangnan bureaucratic group, as well as the powerful people and martial arts sects affiliated with them, were in a state of peace before war.

And "getting the silver from Suzhou to the Suhang Weaving Factory" is set as the first time node.

That was why Pei Yuan boldly went out to find Lu Dahua, complacently showing off his cleverness.

However, he forgot one fatal thing.

When two wrestling opponents, if one of them starts to become shameless, will the other still care about his face?

If Pei Yuan was attacked before "getting the silver from Suzhou to be the governor of the Suzhou and Hangzhou Weaving Office", it would not be of any benefit to the Jiangnan bureaucratic group. Then, would it be of any benefit to the court?
the answer is……

Of course there will be benefits!

Since the local authorities are likely to use the conspiracy of inciting civil unrest to disgust the imperial court and occupy the moral high ground, the best choice the imperial court can make is to detonate this powder keg in advance!
For example.

If the official who was transporting the tax silver was assassinated on the way to Suzhou, wouldn’t that be a wonderful reversal of the situation?

Can those high-handed moral opinions such as “plundering people’s property and inciting civil unrest” still stand?

The people's property has not yet reached the hands of the escorting officials, and no civil unrest has occurred at all.

They assassinated the officials who escorted the tax silver just for the commercial tax!
This is tax resistance! This is rebellion!

When the contradiction is exposed nakedly and both sides do not put on a righteous show but just act like whores, it comes down to strength.

Those minorities who paralyze the court and hold it back under the guise of the people will also completely lose the important basis for exerting influence.

Such a situation is extremely beneficial to the court.

And Pei Yuan is the discarded piece that can bring the whole game of chess to life.

As for the person who attacked Pei Yuan...it's not hard to guess at all.

Pei Yuan couldn't help but think of something Han Qianhu once said to him.

——"The palace places great emphasis on the Jinyiwei because we don't follow the rules. If you can't even figure this out, how are you going to work with me in the future?"

Pei Yuan felt that today was the day he finally understood life.

How can we treat the unruly Jinyiwei with rules just because he is a Jinyiwei?
But he couldn't figure it out for the moment, who was the person who could keenly dissect this tangled situation and directly find Pei Yuan, the winner?
Qiu Ju? Zhang Rong? Zhang Yong? Or Yang Tinghe behind Zhang Yong?

but.

——Then come on!!!
The passive skill of "the poorer, the stronger" was still shining, and the surging blood stimulated Pei Yuan's heart which seemed to be on fire.

Pei Yuan felt that he resonated infinitely with this passive state, and his mind, as solid as a rock, would never waver.

When Pei Yuan and Song Chunniang appeared near the guest house where they lived, they immediately attracted the attention of the Jinyiwei who were on guard.

Those people rushed over with swords drawn, nervously asking their new leader, "Captain, what's wrong?"

Two of them bravely rushed out with knives in hand, keeping a vigilant view, while the rest nervously protected Pei Yuan.

Pei Yuan glanced at these Jinyi captains.

Without saying much, he took Song Chunniang into the yard.

Cheng Leixiang and Chen Toutie were the first to notice Pei Yuan's embarrassed coming in.

The two of them looked terrified and came over, "Sir, what happened?"

The Jinyiwei soldiers who were listening to the two men's lecture in the courtyard also made a lot of noise and looked outside vigilantly.

Pei Yuan thought for a moment and ordered in a deep voice, "Send someone to call Tan Tai Fang Tu and Si Kong Sui over! Oh, and ask them to bring their soldiers over as well!"

After saying this, Pei Yuan put Song Chunniang down and sat down at the stone table in the yard.

Pei Yuan was not sure whether the secret order from the Northern Pacification Office could affect these people, so he had to catch them now.

He had thought about the current situation before. Now he was also responsible for escorting tax silver for the court. Even if the man hiding in the dark wanted to use him to break the situation, he would never dare to do it openly!
Therefore, holding on to this force has become the top priority at this moment!
After hearing Pei Yuan's instructions, Chen Toutie immediately arranged for someone to do it.

Then he hurried back and stayed beside Pei Yuan.

Seeing that Pei Yuanzheng seemed to be thinking about something, they did not dare to ask again and quickly winked at Song Chunniang.

Song Chunniang didn't want to pay any attention to it, but thinking that Captain Pei would definitely make arrangements later, it wouldn't be a bad thing to let these two know in advance.

Song Chunniang did not mention her meeting with Lu Dahua. She started from the appearance of the assassin in the county government office and told the two of them roughly how they were assassinated.

After Chen Toutie and Cheng Leixiang heard what happened, they were dumbfounded.

An unimaginable thing is that in a secondary capital like Yingtian Prefecture, there was actually a large group of people who were so cruel as to chase and kill a thousand households of the Embroidered Uniform Guard in the street.

Another unimaginable thing was that his own thousand households were so powerful that not only did they kill indiscriminately as if they were in an empty space, they also made numerous assassins afraid and dared not move forward.

Especially Chen Toutie, he felt like he was listening to a foreign language.

When they were suppressing the Plum Blossom Society, he saw with his own eyes how Captain Pei was captured by Mei Qinniang and pinned in the bushes.

At this moment, he seemed to have an idea in his mind shouting, Impossible, absolutely impossible!
