Chapter 377 A little girl breaks in

Mu Si'an nodded solemnly and made arrangements.

Think about it carefully, Pei Hao's consideration is not only to kill a person, but also to silence him. If the news that Pei Chen had defected to the rebels spread back to the capital, it would give others an excuse to capture the Pei family.

Although Pei Chen himself is a wanted criminal, as long as his surname is Pei, the Pei family members will not be able to keep him clean.

In addition to arranging secret guards to track Pei Chen, Mu Si'an began the finishing work.

Suddenly, a soldier came and reported in a hurry that Qiao Qi had set himself on fire.

Hu San was surprised.

Mu Si'an hurried over.

Hu San followed and saw a fire burning in the yard where Qiao Qi lived.

After investigation, it was found that Qiao Qi set the fire himself.

He drove the servants out of the yard and lit another fire.

Someone saw the fire and tried to save him, but he pushed him out. He is determined to die and no one can stop him.

In full public view, no one suspected that he was acting.

After the fire, Qiao Qi did not escape.

No one escaped from the sea of fire, so everyone thought that people had been buried in the sea of fire.

Hu San brought the news back.

Pei Hao didn't say anything after hearing this.

Hu San asked doubtfully: "Your Majesty, do you think he will escape to death?"

"It's possible." Pei Hao also had doubts, "Did everyone really see him in the fire?"

Yes, many people who put out the fire said they saw it.

"That's quite obvious. If you really want to die, you won't think too much. Either there is a secret escape in the house, or the person who stayed behind is a substitute. When the fire is out, ask Si'an to check carefully." Pei Hao lowered his voice again. He gave some instructions to Hu San.

Hu San patiently wrote them down one by one.

Pei Hao wanted to say something else, but when he heard the familiar footsteps outside, he paused, turned around, quickly lay down and covered himself with the quilt, winking at Hu San.

Hu San took a few steps back, picked up an empty bowl on the table and walked out.

The person who came in was Du Wan.

Du Wan was not surprised to see Hu San.

Usually when she is away, Hu San takes care of her.

Hu San was afraid that he would wake Pei Hao, so he silently saluted Du Wan and then silently retreated.

Du Wan does not always check the situation around him, so he did not hear the conversation between the master and the servant. Only this time, she stepped forward to the bed with gentle steps, then bent down and leaned close to Pei Hao, staring at his closed eyelashes. The black and slender eyelashes were slightly curved and very beautiful.

If you pay attention, you will find that it occasionally trembles slightly.

Du Wan knew that he had woken up early, so he still pretended to be asleep.

guess he might have avoided her to attend to official duties, so he felt a little guilty?

So, Du Wan poked his face with her fingertips, "Pretending to sleep?"

Pei Hao pretended that he had just woken up and slowly opened his eyelids, Wanwan?

Oh, are you feeling guilty?

Du Wanpi said with a smile, "I'm lying in bed and can't get up. Why don't you feel restless? Do you want to never get better?" "No." Pei Hao said sincerely, "I can't wait to get better." I'll get better tomorrow, so Wanwan doesn't have to work so hard. I know... I'm a drag now. Wanwan, you don't need to pay attention to me, really. My body is recovering very well. From now on, you can let Hu San and the others Just come and take care of me.

Du Wan looked at Pei Hao suspiciously.

She always felt that the prince was acting a little weird now, but she couldn't explain why.

Du Wan was a little annoyed, forgetting that patients are most prone to overthinking, and couldn't help but touch the tip of her nose guiltily, "Sorry, I was just joking, and I didn't mean to dislike you. I just think that the most important thing for you now is to take good care of your health first, and the rest The matter can be left to the people below to resolve."

Pei Hao smiled helplessly, "Have you forgotten, Princess, that I am the commander-in-chief?"

Remember, didnt the rebels surrender? What do you have to worry about? Du Wan had a headache about this.

Pei Hao lowered his eyes and said, "There are a lot of things that will follow."

"Do those subordinates you raise have enough to eat?" Du Wan really didn't think that he would be needed in the follow-up matters. "How about I help you if you have something to do?"

No need. Pei Hao almost failed to stabilize his sickly character.

Just kidding, how could he let her leave him?

Pei Hao seemed to be trying to sit up, but it was a bit difficult. Du Wan stepped forward to support him, and then sat on the bedside. Then he leaned against her again, his movements so skillful that even she was used to his approach.

Wanwan, I just heard the news that Qiao Qi set fire to himself in his house.

Huh? No wonder I saw black smoke billowing in that direction just now.

I dont quite believe it.

Want me to catch someone?

No! Pei Hao grinded his teeth secretly. The little girl's brain circuit is always so difficult to keep up with. He mentioned Qiao Qi because he wanted her to divert her attention, but he didn't want her to be busy.

Du Wan was a little tired, "Qiao Qi has a master behind the scenes."

"Is this true? Who is it?" Pei Hao was very surprised.

Well, thank you Zhang.

Where did Wanwan learn about it?

"It was speculated by Huang Lian." Du Wan casually found a reason, "Isn't it rumored that the boss behind Wangyue Tower is Qiao Qi? Huang Dacai accounts for 30% of Wangyue Tower, and Huang Dacai is one of Xie Zhang's money bags. Oh, Maybe Huang Lian and Xie Zhang are friends."

Pei Hao was silent for a while.

There are some things he doesnt know? The little girl never said it before.

Du Wan inadvertently raised her hand to lift a strand of hair that fell to his face, "The rebels in the southwest border suddenly captured three counties. It was most likely Xie Zhang's plan. He probably wanted to make another great contribution. , thinking that he would be the one to send troops this time. The Xie family should have made some arrangements in the court before. "

"Yes."

Pei Hao thought that many ministers in the court at that time agreed with Xie Zhang to send troops.

A newly -born scholar just set up a credit for disaster relief, and was not from a military officer. Someone played him to let him lead the soldiers and was supported by most officials. At that time, no one felt strange. If the emperor hadn't suddenly pressed down on him and asked him to lead the army by name, Xie Zhang would probably have come out to quell the chaos.

So, is it destined to return in triumph?

How could it be that Qiao Qiben was the one who arranged the battle? Didn't he just fight the battle how he said he would?

But Gods calculations are not as good as those of humans. No one expected that a little girl would wander in and make the situation in the southwest border develop in a strange direction.

Pei Hao didnt understand until today that the chaos in the southwest was a big game played by Xie Zhang. Things that were originally very hidden were noticed by the little girl. How can we say that Xie Zhang is lucky? Or is it bad luck?

If Qiao Qizhen is Xie Zhang's man, then it is more likely that he will fake his death and escape.

Otherwise, Qiao Qihui will be escorted back to Beijing as the leader of the rebels. How he will be dealt with depends on the emperor's decision. Although it is stated on the surface that those who surrender will not be killed, they may also be imprisoned for life.
