Chapter 82 There is a bomb
Mr. Peng was leaning on a recliner, staring at the portrait hanging in front of him in a daze.

Ever since he missed the "great beauty" in the portrait, he became depressed, as if he was suffering from lovesickness.

He had had countless good-looking men in his life, some of whom he bought, some of whom he robbed, and some of whom he drugged and forced.

But there is no man as stunning as the young master of the Xu family.

He originally thought that God had mercy on him by allowing such a stunning man to appear in front of him, but he did not expect such an accident to happen.

If that’s the case, why should he see the graceful demeanor of the young man from the Xu family?

Just as Mr. Peng was lamenting the injustice of heaven, a servant suddenly came in and reported, "Mr. Peng, good news."

Mr. Peng leaned back in his recliner and asked listlessly, "What's the good news?"

The servant replied, "Just now, Yu from the Xu family sent someone to deliver a message saying that their son has been found."

Upon hearing this, Mr. Peng sat up straight instantly and asked in disbelief, "What did you say?"

"Sir, what I meant is that Mrs. Yu sent someone to inform us that their son has been found." The servant repeated.

Mr. Peng suddenly stood up from the recliner and said, "Hurry up and prepare the carriage. We are going to Xu's house now!"

This time he has to pick up his "beauty" in person, and there must not be any accidents.

"Also, select twenty people to go with me, so as to avoid encountering bandits again." Mr. Peng continued to give orders.

The servant saw Mr. Peng was about to leave, so he quickly followed him and said, "Mr. Peng, the young master of the Xu family is not at home."

Mr. Peng paused for a moment, frowned, looked at the servant and asked, "Where is it?"

"The servant from the Xu family who came to report the news said that he is now the owner of Zhuyan Hall, and you can just go directly to Zhuyan Hall to take the person away." The servant replied hurriedly.

"Zhuyan Hall?" Mr. Peng felt that the name sounded familiar.

He remembered, wasn't Zhuyantang a cosmetics shop that had gained a lot of fame recently?

His "great beauty" is actually the owner of Zhuyan Hall?
Wasn't he kidnapped by bandits before? How did he suddenly become the owner of Zhuyan Hall?
Could it be that Mrs. Yu had really deceived him before, and her son had never been kidnapped by bandits?
If that's the case, why do you want to sell your son to him now?

Is there something fishy going on here?
Mr. Peng has always been suspicious and always feels that things are not that simple.

However, dying under the peony flowers is also romantic.

Thinking of his beautiful and charming "beauty", Mr. Peng felt itchy and decided to go to Zhuyan Hall to pick her up.

So what if there is something fishy?
Mr. Peng also has a certain status in the business world. A small Zhuyantang is nothing to him.

"Okay, then let's go to Zhuyan Hall. No matter what, you must bring back this beautiful woman of ours." Mr. Peng ordered loudly.

"Yes, I will prepare the carriage and manpower immediately."

About half an incense stick of time later, Mr. Peng's carriage left Tangquan Villa and headed straight for the imperial capital.

Thinking that he was about to meet the beautiful woman he had been dreaming of, Mr. Peng was extremely excited.

Just when he wanted to take out the portrait of the "great beauty" to take a few more looks at it, the carriage suddenly stopped.

Immediately afterwards, a noisy crying sound rang in my ears, as if someone was mourning.

Mr. Peng frowned and asked, "What's going on?"

The servant immediately stepped forward and reported: "Master, there are people crying in front."

Mr. Peng impatiently lifted the curtain of the carriage, and what came into view were seven coffins.

Seven people died at once?!

Could it be that he has contracted some disease?
Mr. Peng was so scared that he quickly covered his mouth and nose. "Go and ask what's going on and how long it will take. The road is blocked by them." After giving the order, Mr. Peng quickly lowered the curtain of the carriage.

Back in the carriage, he quickly found a handkerchief, tied it behind his head, and covered his mouth and nose.

After a while, the servant who went to inquire came back.

"Sir, I have already found out everything."

"It was a family of seven who died, all in an accident."

"The funeral was conducted by a distant relative, and because they couldn't find a place to bury the coffin, they temporarily stopped the coffin here."

Mr. Peng couldn't help but sneer when he heard this. "What kind of accident could kill a family of seven at once? It seems that this family has offended someone they shouldn't have offended."

This imperial capital is home to many high-ranking officials and dignitaries. If you accidentally offend them, you might die without even knowing how.

"Sir, you are right. This family did offend someone before the incident." The servant suddenly said in a low voice.

"Oh? Which big shot did they offend?" This is a cruel and ruthless person. I have to stay away from him when I see him next time.

The servant raised his eyes to glance at Mr. Zhao and replied in a lower voice, "That's the owner of Zhuyan Hall we are going to look for today."

Upon hearing this, Mr. Peng suddenly looked at the servant and asked, "Who do you think they offended?"

"Hui Yuanwai, he is the owner of Zhuyan Hall."

Mr. Peng looked at the seven coffins in front of him with some disbelief, and suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart.

How could the owner of a small cosmetics shop have such powerful abilities?

Could it be that he has someone above him?

No wonder he was able to run Zhuyan Hall so successfully in such a short period of time. It turned out that he had someone protecting him.

If this is true, then if he rashly goes there today, wouldn't he be risking his life?
Thinking of this, Mr. Peng suddenly felt a chill on his back.

But that doesn't make sense. If the owner of Zhuyan Hall really had someone above him, how could he have fallen to the point of being sold out by his own mother?
No, something must be wrong.

Thinking of Yu asking him to go directly to Huayantang to pick up the person instead of going to Xu's house, Mr. Peng suddenly had a bold suspicion in his mind.

Could it be that the owner of Zhuyan Hall is not the young master of the Xu family at all?
Otherwise, why didn't Yu mention the matter of the silver, but instead asked him to go directly to Zhuyan Hall to take the person away?
What on earth is Yu planning?

No, he couldn't gamble with his life.

Mr. Peng told the servant, "Go and inform Mrs. Yu and tell her that I will go to her house to pick her up and give her the banknotes. See what Mrs. Yu says."

If the owner of Zhuyan Hall is really the young master of the Xu family, I'm sure Yu will not refuse.

"Yes, sir."

After receiving the order, the servant walked around the coffin and hurried into the imperial capital.

After the servant left, Mr. Peng looked at the seven coffins in front of him again and felt frightened.

He ordered another servant, "Go and ask those mourners to move the coffin away and say that my carriage is coming."

"If they don't move, you can bring people to move them away."

"Yes, sir." The servant hurried to negotiate with those people who were mourning.

However, he had negotiated for a long time without any result, so he just followed what Mr. Peng said and asked his men to carry the coffins aside.
