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

Chapter 116: Martial Arts Scum
When the old procuress heard this, she couldn't help but smile.

As for Pei Yuan's words, she naturally believed them one hundred percent.

If there is a fuss over a little prostitution money, these officials cannot afford to lose face.

Anyway, there were no wealthy guests visiting at this time, so the old procuress enthusiastically led the three people along the small corridor towards the yard.

After walking for a while, he realized something was wrong and asked in surprise, "You three are playing one?"

Chen Toutie scolded, "Why are you talking so much? Just serve the master well!"

Upon hearing this, the madam understood that the official who had spoken before was the real boss, and the other two were just followers.

She didn't say much, thinking to herself, while you adults start playing, are you just going to sit there and wait? There will be two more business to come.

When they arrived at the door of a wing room, the madam said with a smile, "Mei Niang happens to be free today, sir, you are so lucky."

As he spoke, he knocked on the door, and there was some movement inside.

The madam gave the door a gentle push and it opened.

Pei Yuan pushed Cheng Leixiang in with force. In the dim room, a girl's scream was immediately heard from the bed.

"Sir?" Cheng Leixiang was stunned and stood up from the ground.

Pei Yuan gave a signal and Chen Toutie immediately went up and closed the door.

Pei Yuan was standing outside the door, saying in an unquestionable tone, "Fuck her, or I'll castrate you and send you to the palace! I'm planning to send someone to the Imperial Household Department!"

Cheng Leixiang was a little anxious, "But sir, I..."

Pei Yuan glanced at the madam and said, "Tell your girl to be more careful. I have plenty of money!"

Although the madam didn't quite understand what was going on, she knew that the essence remained the same: it was nothing more than a matter of posture and position.

Then the madam spoke up and repeatedly hinted to the girl.

The girl was originally a prostitute, so how could she not humble herself? Regardless of her tiredness, she stepped forward and tried to please him.

Cheng Leixiang was feeling irritated and depressed, so he could only ask again, "Sir, I ..."

Pei Yuan immediately turned hostile.

"Cheng Leixiang, don't be so shameless! If you keep messing with me, I'll come in and chop you to death!"

There was silence in the room for a long time. After a while, the girl spoke.

Pei Yuan's expression relaxed a little, and he and Chen Toutie looked at each other. They felt that it was quite boring.

Pei Yuan returned to the back hall and asked the madam who had been following him to bring him some food.

The madam didn't understand why the official was so caring towards his subordinate, so she asked tentatively, "Do you two want to find a girl too?"

Pei Yuan looked at Chen Toutie and asked, "Are you going?"

Chen Toutie quickly shook his head, "I have to protect the adults."

Pei Yuan was overwhelmed with so many things to do and didn't have the time to think about this.

"Please bring more meat and good tea, but no wine."

As he said this, he slapped a piece of silver on the table.

The madam was overjoyed upon seeing this, and immediately had good tea and delicious food brought up.

Chen Toutie accompanied Pei Yuan for a while. Just when they were feeling bored, Cheng Leixiang came over covered in dust.

Pei Yuan laughed and cursed, "Damn it, it's embarrassing."

Cheng Leixiang said hesitantly, "Neither."

He sighed again, "Alas." Pei Yuan asked the waiter to come over, packed up the food on the table, and threw it into Cheng Leixiang's arms, "Eat on the way."

As for other things, I didn't ask much.

Cheng Leixiang has figured it out by now. It turns out that Pei Yuan rushed into the city after the battle tonight just for him.

He was deeply moved and said with some difficulty, "After I settled down at the post station this time, someone gave me a token. I thought it was from our meeting two days ago..."

Pei Yuan smiled and said, "Do you think that the old relationship between you and him rekindled because of what happened that day?"

Having said that, he simply interrupted Cheng Leixiang and said, "Forget it, don't tell me anymore. Just keep it to yourself."

Pei Yuan knew what heartache felt like.

I also know that comfort is useless.

The so-called comfort is nothing more than opening up your own wounds and showing them to others.

Pei Yuan left the silver and walked slowly down the street with the two of them.

He was afraid that Cheng Leixiang would feel awkward, so he deliberately asked Chen Toutie, "Toutie, do you have such a bad thing? Tell us about it."

Upon hearing this, Chen Toutie nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes."

"Oh?" Pei Yuan immediately became interested, "Then tell me."

“Uh, well, uh…” Chen Toutie tried to think for a long time but still couldn’t come up with a fabrication.

The three of them laughed together.

After the three of them left the city, they found the horses they had come on without much effort.

On the way back on horseback, Pei Yuan thought about it and finally mentioned Yue Qingfeng to Cheng Leixiang.

"Cheng Leixiang, what kind of person do you think your master is?"

Cheng Leixiang didn't want to mention his junior sister, but he was quite talkative when talking about Yue Qingfeng, especially since he felt refreshed both physically and mentally just now and didn't have anything to worry about anymore.

"My master is very arrogant and has always regarded the revival of the Huashan Sect as his mission. He is also very strict in educating his disciples."

"I was originally very popular with my master, but later..."

Cheng Leixiang was a little embarrassed. "Later, my father was recruited by Han Qianhu, and then Han Qianhu used my father as a guide to attack and kill many heroes in Huaishang. My father angered the people and could not stay in the south, so he asked Han Qianhu to make an exception and send him to the north to serve as an official."

"Captain Han was kind and righteous, and gave my father a job with good benefits. However, this put me in an awkward position. After my master learned the whole story, he severed all ties with me and let me go north."

After hearing this, Pei Yuan could only say, wow, isn’t Cheng Zhihu a definite villain in a martial arts novel?
He is a traitor and can be considered a scum of the martial arts world.

With such a father, Cheng Leixiang certainly can't survive in the underworld.

I'm afraid that the junior sister had a grudge against him because of this.

Pei Yuan was thinking about the incident when Yue Qingfeng appeared in the county government office when the magistrate of Liyang died. He was also thinking about the fact that Lu Ting had ambushed Yue Qingfeng as a backup. For a moment, he was unsure what the connection was.

Judging from what Cheng Leixiang meant, Yue Qingfeng should be disdainful of being a lackey of the imperial court.

Pei Yuan wanted to release Yue Qingfeng to ask him some questions, but he was afraid that he might be killed instantly if he was not well prepared.

It seems that I can only discuss it with everyone first.

When they returned to the post station, it was already late at night. Sikong Sui and Tan Tai Fang Tu had not slept as expected. They were surprised and admired Pei Yuan for rushing back overnight.

Pei Yuan explained, "I just tracked where those people are going. The injured brothers will go into the city to recuperate tomorrow, so we can't let anything slip out at this time. What if I guessed wrong and those people set up an ambush in the city? Wouldn't that implicate all of you brothers?"

Sikong Sui was so touched when he heard this that he said gratefully, "Thank you for your kindness. If the brothers knew that you fought for your life in the middle of the night and still worked so hard for them, they would definitely be grateful."

Pei Yuan waved his hand, "What is there to be ashamed of? It's not like he did anything shameful. Tomorrow, the captain of the Hundred Households can take the lead in bringing it up, and everyone can express their opinions and speak freely."
