Liu Wei was momentarily stunned. Peng Zhongfei, of course he knew him.

He patted Shao Qingyuan’s shoulder and laughed, “Know him, know him. We even drank together a few days ago.” They even visited a brothel together, but that wasn’t something to mention.

“Alright, then you take me to Peng’s house.”

The smile on Liu Wei’s face froze instantly, and the hand on Shao Qingyuan’s shoulder was withdrawn dryly. He asked stiffly, “You’re going to the county town just to go to Peng’s house? Do you have some grudge with that Peng Zhongfei?”

“No grudge.”

Liu Wei breathed a sigh of relief. “Then why are you going to Peng’s house?”

“If you take me in, not only will I take you hunting deer in the mountains, but I’ll also add another big prey.” Shao Qingyuan said, paused for a moment, and added, “Don’t worry, I won’t kill anyone or set fires. You won’t be implicated.”

Liu Wei’s eyes lit up when he heard “big prey.” He was very tempted.

Besides, his relationship with Peng Zhongfei was just average. Who didn’t have a few friends? Moreover, he was just bringing someone in. If something really went wrong, he could just deny it. Peng’s family wouldn’t dare to do anything to him. The Liu family just kept a low profile, but they still had some backing.

The common folks might not know, but did he, Liu Wei, not know? The official from Peng’s family in the capital was just a fifth-ranking official. One had to tread carefully in the capital.

Moreover, with the deer and the big prey, sending someone, he might gain another backer.

After considering it for a while, Liu Wei nodded, “Okay.”

His servant hurriedly pulled him, “Young master, do you want to be beaten to death by the master? The master said not to cause any trouble these days.”

Liu Wei gave him a glare and then smiled at Shao Qingyuan, “Alright then, it’s settled. You have to take me hunting big prey too.”

The servant’s face turned pale. Young master, you’ve been acting a bit reckless lately.

But Shao Qingyuan just nodded and said, “Hmm,” and didn’t say anything else. He planned to let Liu Wei stay in the trees while they hunted to avoid any hindrance.

Liu Wei happily instructed the coachman to speed up. Shao Qingyuan seemed to be in a hurry.

Shao Qingyuan didn’t speak along the way, ignoring Liu Wei’s desire to chat, and just lifted the curtain to look ahead.

He thought that Gu Yundong and Feng Daneng walking would be much slower, and he would catch up by riding in the carriage.

But unexpectedly, they had already reached the gate of the county town, and there was no sign of the two.

Shao Qingyuan’s brows furrowed tightly. Had they already gone to Peng’s house? He quickly asked Liu Wei to take him in.

If Gu Yundong didn’t go to Peng’s house, Shao Qingyuan could find a carriage to carry himself. She wouldn’t have to suffer herself. On the way, they met a mule cart, exchanged a few words, and had someone take them all the way to the county town’s… Chang family.

Feng Daneng went to knock on the door, and it was opened by Chang Fu’s wife, Wang Shi. Seeing them, she immediately tried to close the door but was pushed open by Gu Yundong.

Wang Shi was about to shout, but Gu Yundong sneered and asked loudly, “Where’s that thief Chang Fu?”

Wang Shi felt guilty and subconsciously went out to look. Indeed, she saw someone poking their head out from the next door. She didn’t say a word and immediately closed the door, then came back to her senses, “Who are you? Why are you making a scene at my house?”

Gu Yundong ignored her and went straight in.

Inside, Chang Fu was happily drinking wine and eating small dishes. Yesterday, Young Master Peng had rewarded him with twenty taels of silver.

Gu Yundong grabbed him up, and Chang Fu frowned and stared at her, “What are you doing? Who’s this wild girl? I… “

Before he could finish, Gu Yundong shoved something into his mouth and forcefully pushed his mouth shut. “Swallow it.”

Chang Fu swallowed it down, then widened his eyes, “What did you make me swallow?”

“Ma Li’su.”
