Chapter 42
Chapter 42
Thinking about it carefully, they really wasted too much time!The secret letter from the former imperial doctor's mansion has not been found yet, and their Pei family may be pushed to the forefront at any time!Pei Ye didn't know why the Pei family had secret letters and such things, but he didn't believe that Father Pei would collude with King Pingyang to rebel!
How could a person who abides by the law like his father and wants to pay homage to the successive monarchs of the Jin Kingdom before dinner? How could he rebel?
Moreover, so what if it is really the imperial historian of the former dynasty?
The previous dynasty and the current dynasty belonged to the same generation of ancestors. Unfortunately, the emperor of the previous dynasty died young and had no children, so the younger brother of his mother, the current Jin Huang, took over the throne. There was no forced palace, no usurpation, and no bloodshed. It was conferred by the first emperor himself in front of civil and military officials before his death.
As for the previous dynasty, it was only after the death of the first emperor that Jin Huang changed the country name to "Jin" because of his grief.Generally speaking, it is still their Huai family's world!Under such a background, what reason does a generation of former court ministers have to rebel?
Pei Ye covered his eyes, feeling a little heavy.
He lived in a muddleheaded and hasty life in his previous life. After being known by his father Pei about his feelings for Shen Guzhi, he refused to repent. He stubbornly knelt in the ancestral hall of Pei's family and was beaten more than 30 times by the furious old man Pei. He didn't make a sound through his teeth, and then, with injuries, he was ruthlessly imprisoned by Father Pei for more than half a month. When he came out...
Father Pei has passed away, people's hearts have been scattered, and the Pei family is on the verge of decay...
As soon as Father Pei fell down, all the shops suppressed by the Pei family joined forces to suppress it. The business of the Pei family retreated steadily, and it didn't take long before it completely fell down. The housekeeper An, who had been loyal all his life, was pitiful. It's a head of white hair.
Three years of filial piety, Shen Guzhi has never been to Jiangnan once, Pei Ye dismissed all the servants, cut off the branches, converted them into silver taels and paid them to the loopholes in the business and the hired buddies, and finally became famous in the entire Jin country's dignified Pei family , there is only an old garden and an old housekeeper who has spent almost his whole life in this garden...
After Shen Guzhi finished speaking with Shen Er who sneaked in, when he walked over, he found Pei Ye lying on the bed with his eyes covered, with a low breath all over his body.Sitting next to him, I reached out and wiped my forehead, and felt relieved when I saw that there was no fever.
"tired?"
"Yeah." Pei Ye snorted lazily.
"Go and rest, I have something to go out for a while." After Shen Guzhi finished speaking, he patted Pei Ye's leg that was lying on the edge of the bed, got up and left.
Hearing the door open and close, Pei Ye opened his eyes and looked at the top of the bed. A lingering mass in his heart was like a gray spider web, which became bigger and thicker until he was tightly woven. wrapped in.
Before he died, the old butler lay on the bed and held his hand, saying 'young master', tears rolling all over the floor as if he didn't want money.Only when the old housekeeper was weeping, did he know the secret hidden behind the seemingly glamorous Pei family.Pity him, Old Man Pei, who has been fighting cautiously and cautiously all his life, but he finally failed to hold on...
In this life, Pei Ye told himself from the very beginning to protect Pei's family and Papa Pei, even if it overturns everything!But what has he been doing for the past ten years?He searched for a secret letter for several years, and traveled to Pingyang for half a year. Even now, he doesn't even know who is trying to harm their Pei family!
Pessimism is a choking poison.
The more Pei Ye delved into it, the more he felt that he was useless, like a person tied to a wooden stake waiting for the tide to rise, he could only watch the sea water over his head in despair and powerlessness...
Pei Ye was drowning in the ocean of self-blame, and his whole body was surrounded by a cloud of black air that could not be dispelled.Pulling off the quilt, turning over and burying it, I just felt suffocated to death!
Shen Guzhi went out from the guest room, sat in the small garden in the inner courtyard and asked Xiao Er to prepare a pot of tea.
The shopkeeper is always very happy to see them. Hearing what he said, he hurriedly sent the waiter to make tea, then looked at Shen Guzhi with a smile, rubbed his fingers and said flatteringly: "It's a noble person like you. We don't let ordinary people Drinking tea in the garden..."
Shen Guzhi handed over a piece of broken silver, and said with a faint smile, "I'm sorry."
The shopkeeper happily took it, nodded and walked away happily.
The courtyard of Hongrui Inn is very small, but there is an old pagoda tree at the corner of the west wall. Although the season for the fragrance of pagoda flowers has passed, the huge crown of the tree is full of branches and leaves, and it is blown by the breeze. The unique fragrance of pagoda tree leaves will also be brought out after the music of "rustle rustle".
The branches of the old locust tree are thick and thick, and the huge crown almost occupies most of the sky in the small courtyard of the inn!A set of small wooden tables and chairs for tea was placed under the tree. It is said that the tables and chairs are a bit reluctant, but they are actually three round wooden piers. The middle one is bigger, and the two surrounding it are smaller than it. It must be used for eating It is not enough, but it is a very good choice for tea and chat.
Shen Guzhi asked Xiaoer to put the tea on the log pier, sat under the tree and poured himself a cup, shaking the floating leaves and drooping his eyes, and took a sip.
"Mr. Shen is still as indifferent as ever. When the soldiers approach the city, they will not be chaotic in the face of danger. They have the aura of old general Fang back then."
"Old General Fang is rare in the world with his heart and bones. Shen does not dare to compare himself with Old General Fang. Mr. Chao is flattering him."
Chao He came over with a shiny bead in his hand, smiled when he heard the words, and happily sat down opposite him without refuting.
Shen Guzhi poured a cup of tea and pushed it over, "How is His Highness the Crown Prince?"
"It's good, I'm just a little worried about you guys..." Chao He took the teacup and said in a low voice, "Pingyang doesn't seem to be as turbulent as we thought. Your Highness said that you will be subject to military orders abroad. Everything depends on you." Let Mr. Shen decide."
Shen Guzhi shook the teacup and did not speak.
"Oh, and! Have you seen Hua Wenyu's junior brother recently? I heard that he was plotted and poisoned by someone who went to snatch the account book. His Highness asked Hua Wenyu to take the opportunity to snatch the account book. Unfortunately, no one has been found! It is estimated that seeing the situation is not good and hiding back to Qingyin Valley, after all, there is no one in the entire court who does not want to find them!"
"Not necessarily." Shen Guzhi put down his teacup, "Speaking of which, our appearance here is inseparable from this miracle doctor Ji."
"Oh? How do you say it?" Chao He lowered his voice to gossip with interest.
Shen Guzhi tapped on the table with his fingers, and slowly told what happened when they came out of the small village.
"So, Pingyang is actually not as solid and indestructible as His Royal Highness thinks, at least Ji Ranxi is not as loyal to King Pingyang as the rumors say."
"Maybe..." Chao He nodded.
"Then you still want to enter the Pingyang Palace? If you don't leave today, you won't be able to leave tomorrow. Qu Huai'an is an old fox. Although the city is deep, he dare not do it easily. But Pingyang King is different. Famously, at a young age, he dared to hire an assassin to assassinate His Highness the Crown Prince who was still the third prince at that time. It shows how ruthless it is! If you fall into his hands, you will definitely not be able to get out for a while! Mr. Shen, think twice .” Chao He Dingding looked at Shen Guzhi and advised him.
"Linyuan is fond of fish, why not retreat and make a net," Shen Guzhi smiled, and added some tea to his teacup, "Since the net is already knotted, how can we go to Linyuan because of one or two voices from the outside world?" Wouldn't it be a pity if we found out afterwards that it wasn't that scary."
"Alas..." Chao He sighed, "That's what I said, but you..."
"Master Shen!"
Qin Tang turned across the knife and hurried over from the side room, Chao He shut up when he heard the sound, and took a sip from the teacup in front of him.
"The public security in this remote place is not very good. If Mr. Shen is fine, please don't move around easily."
Qin Tang's tall and straight little Bai Yang seemed to be standing behind Shen Guzhi, with a flat voice, neither humble nor overbearing.
"Since my brother has said so, Mr. Shen should go back to the house quickly! A group of guards of His Highness the Crown Prince were plotted against before. It would be too scary to do it again without the protection of His Royal Highness's guards!"
Chao He patted Shen Guzhi's hand across the round wooden pier, and after a while, the shiny round bead in his hand fell into Shen Guzhi's hand.Standing behind Shen Guzhi, Qin Tang saw Chao He's slapping of Shen Guzhi combined with what he said, he thought it was a matter of sending someone to assassinate Pei Ye and Shen Guzhi before mocking them.
Lowering his head and waiting for Shen Guzhi to put down his teacup and approach, Qin Tang nodded meaningfully at Chao He, then turned and followed Shen Guzhi to leave.
Chao He looked at the backs of them leaving one after the other, stroked his chin with his chubby belly, thoughtful.
He was born in Jinyiwei of the Qintang Palace, and was rewarded with a team of guards at the first prince's full moon ceremony. Now he has been fighting for decades, and his loyalty is not as loyal as Qu Huai'an, Ji Ranxi, and others who follow Pingyang King. Not the same.
The king of Pingyang sent him all over. Does this mean that Pei and Shen must be brought to Pingyang?Because I got the handle of His Highness, do I have nothing to fear?interesting……
Chao He tilted his head and touched his chin, then left with a smile.
Here, Shen Guzhi took the Yingrun round bead that Chao He secretly stuffed in his hand, turned around and went back to the room. Pei Ye was already asleep, and he was still sleeping soundly lying on the bed.
Shen Guzhi went over and pulled the quilt over him, got up and walked to the wooden table to look at the ball in his hand.
The color is bright and lustrous, and the touch is delicate. It is a good submarine pearl.
Shen Guzhi lifted the lampshade of the candlestick on the table and extinguished the candle, and the whole room was immediately enveloped in darkness.In the night, a glimmering green light emitted from the bead in his hand. It gradually became stronger and brighter. It didn't take long for the room to become brighter, even brighter than the previous candlelight. Shen Guzhi clenched his fists Holding the Ye Mingzhu in his hand, the room immediately darkened.Sitting in the darkness, Shen Guzhi rubbed the shiny luminous pearls in his hands, and then his pupils dimmed and brightened.
