Xun Guanniang happened to come and saved Pei Gai's life, although it was a fluke, but there was a reason for it.

This main hall is where Pei Gai entertains, he is now in power for the imperial court, most of the people he sees are eunuchs and nobles, Xun Guanniang is a housewife, and she can't easily set foot here if she is not summoned—unless Pei should ask her to come out to meet people, or accompany her to a banquet. However, today Pei should listen to Wang Zhuo tell the legendary story, the time is too long, resulting in a delay in the meal, so Xun Guanniang came in from the back of the hall, temporarily hidden behind the screen, planning to find an opportunity to ask her husband, do you want to leave the two princes for dinner? When is the feast?

Who thought that Pei should be not interested in the two kings, and after listening to the story, he bombarded them and left, and he had no intention of staying at all. Xun Guanniang was thinking about coming out, beckoning Pei to go back to the inner room for dinner, and heard that the Pei family came from Wenxi's hometown, knowing that this matter was very important, and the husband would definitely have to eat after seeing someone, so he could only continue to wait behind the screen.

Who would have thought that an assassin would come! Xun Guanniang hurriedly jumped out, rescued her husband, and copied the copper lamp next to her.

This bronze lamp is likely to be an antiquity of the Han Dynasty, which was copied from Suoqi's home, nearly four feet high, circled feet, and there are four branches on the main branch, and there are five bowl-sized lamps on the top of the table, which is Pei Cai's beloved thing. Of course, Pei Gai doesn't like antiquities - he doesn't have a habit of collecting antiques at all - purely because the lighting technology is backward in these years, if it is a single lamp, the light is dim and dim, which really hurts the eyes, so he prefers this lamp five lamps. This is a floor lamp, although the branches are detachable, but they are all made of bronze, the overall weight of more than 50 catties (Jin Jin, almost 25 city catties in later generations).

Xun Guanniang picked up the copper lamp with both hands, and smashed it directly at the back of Pei Tan's head, but after all, Pei Tan was too close to Pei Cai, and the dagger was dazzling, straight to her husband's chest, Xun Guanniang was nervous, and she was afraid of hurting her husband by mistake, but this smash was a little off, and it only hit Pei Tan's shoulder.

After all, it was more than ten kilograms of things, coupled with Xun Guanniang's own strength, this slam slashed down, the force was amazing enough, Pei Tong's right shoulder was smashed, and the dagger in his right hand was immediately crooked, and Pei should have been able to escape. Immediately, Xun Guanniang smashed down again fiercely, this time she didn't aim at her head, it was still the old path and the old direction, and she only heard a muffled snort, and Pei Tan's right shoulder blade immediately shattered......

The tribesmen rushed up to the hall and held Pei Tan firmly down. Pei Gai was frightened, so he shouted first: "Seal his mouth, don't bite your tongue and kill yourself!" The subordinates detained Pei Tan according to their words, someone snatched the murder weapon and presented it, Pei should take it and take a look, only to see a faint green light on the blade - damn it, it won't be quenched poison!

At this time, he felt that his arm was grabbed, and when he squinted, it turned out to be Xun Guanniang, holding a copper lamp in his left hand and holding his husband in his right hand, slightly wrong in the first half of his body, as if he was afraid that Pei Tan would not be tied up firmly, and he would hurt people, so he was ready to block the knife for her husband at any time. Pei should return the dagger, and gently press it on the back of his wife's hand with his free right hand, which means: I am not injured, you can rest assured......

Pei Caixin said that my wife is really good, such a heavy lamp, I can't carry it, I can't move it, but I always have to use both hands, seeing that she is holding it with one hand at the moment, it is like a bamboo branch, without any tiredness...... The wife I picked myself was able to save my life! The chin couldn't help but lift slightly—such a feminine ...... No, good woman, who can have it?

Xun Guanniang was married to Pei Gai at the age of sixteen, and she has not been married for a year, and it seems that her body has increased again, Pei Gai used to worry: the so-called "twenty-three, jumping", it is estimated that she is likely to be half a head taller than herself in the future! At this moment, I can't help but think: only with a high body can you have the strength, forget it, you can grow up casually.

At this moment, when the subordinate governor Wen Lang heard the news, he quickly ran to the front of the hall, knelt down on one knee, and said in a loud voice: "It is the poor protection of the ministers that makes the lord frightened and a capital crime!" Pei should ignore him first, but he looked at Pei Tan, raised his eyebrows and asked, "Who are you?" Who made you assassinate me?! ”

Pei Tan was tied with ropes, like a rice dumpling, and his mouth was stuffed, not only could he not move, but he couldn't reply. When a tribal heard Pei Cai's question, he wanted to reach out and take out the thing in Pei Tan's mouth, but Pei Gai waved his hand and stopped him. Because Pei should see it very clearly, Pei Tan listened to the question, and immediately closed his eyes expressionlessly, clearly not planning to explain honestly.

So Pei Gai instructed Wen Lang: "I have handed over this fang to you, and I must inquire about who instructed me." ”

Wen Lang agreed, and then asked, "Is it possible to be sentenced?" He has been with Pei Gai for a long time, and knows that although the lord may not be soft-hearted and has the kindness of a woman, he has never had a good impression of corporal punishment. That's why I have to ask clearly, can I punish this assassin?

Pei Gai pursed his lips: "Let you wait, only you can't confess, and you must not let him die." ”

Wen Lang immediately agreed, so he ordered the subordinates to tear Wen Tan out of the hall. Xun Guanniang put down the bronze lamp, and at the same time spread the right hand holding Pei Gai's arm, and said in a trembling voice: "Beside the husband, there should always be warrior guards to ......" Pei Gai smiled at her: "Qing is my warrior, why do you need others?" "But I admit in my heart that what my wife said is reasonable, as a politician, even at home, I can't let my guard down for a moment!

Then he remembered it, and hurriedly asked in a loud voice: "Are the Jingling brothers far away?" Please come back soon! He turned his head and instructed Xun Guanniang: "Prepare a meal immediately, I want to feast on the Duke of Jingling." ”

Wang Zhuo's words to warn Pei Gai just now, Xun Guanniang also heard it clearly behind the screen, and couldn't help nodding: "That's how it should be, if it weren't for the Jingling Public Police, I'm afraid it would be ......" I couldn't bear to think about it, and I didn't dare to say any more, so I bent my knees slightly, and then retreated.

Wang Zhuo and the others really didn't go far, and were invited back by the Pei servants. Wang Yu asked what happened, and couldn't help but look at the old brother again - "Now that Brother has made this meritorious service and is virtuous to Pei Gong, he can ask for a higher position." Wang Zhuo shook his head and instructed him: "Pei Gong must have a reward to answer me, but Qing can't ask for it - the city is not virtuous!" ”

The Pei couple listed the delicacies—of course, compared to their daily diet, which could not have reached the level of the Wang family's diet during Wang Ji's lifetime—and thanked the Wang brothers, and the bell was stained and they were able to sit down. Pei Gai even called his wife out and sat down to feast on the two kings—a sign of extreme intimacy. During the banquet, Pei Gai said: "Wang Gongyun can detect people's colors and penetrate the murderous heart, so he has been rescued from misfortune several times, I didn't believe it at first, I'm really ashamed......"

Wang Zhuo smiled bitterly: "The family is unfortunate, but it is such a trick, which is really not beneficial to the family and the country......"

How can Pei say that it is not beneficial? Didn't you just save my life? Frequently thanked and advised to drink. Wang Yu gritted his teeth and said: "This must be sent by Hu Kou, and it is really the heart of a wolf jackal!" Pei Gai was noncommittal about this, but said to Wang Zhuo: "Shangshu is still the right man, the prince can take this position first, and he will pass the performance appraisal at the age of one year, that is, Shangshu can also die." ”

Shang Shulang is mainly responsible for writing work, and Shang Shu is responsible for provincial affairs and general affairs, which is equivalent to the administrative section chief and logistics chief of Shangshu Province, both of which are of the same grade, both are six grades, but under normal circumstances, the left and right undertakings should be served by the old Shang Shulang, and the first Shou Shang Shulang is not qualified. But now the situation is special, doesn't Pei Tong also have to be Zuo Cheng as soon as he enters the province? With Wang Zhuo's family background and title, he can be appointed as the right man.

Pei Gai actually wanted to keep Wang Zhuo by his side, help him observe the expressions of visitors at any time, find danger, and warn him in time. But the problem is that Wang Zhuo, as the prince of Jingling County, is not suitable to enter the scene, and listening to what he said, he himself does not have this will, and even feels ashamed. There is no way, only temporarily appointed as Shangshu Youcheng, to help him keep an eye on the personnel in the province.

But after all, the warning of the other people can be regarded as saving his own life, and he was promoted by half a level, which is really not interesting. Therefore, Pei Gai promised that as long as you work for a year and pass the evaluation, I will be of great use - even if you ascend to the sky and become a scholar in one step, it is not impossible.

Wang Zhuo was secretly happy, but his face was calm and clear, and he simply thanked him.

——————————

Early the next morning, Wen Lang came to see Pei Gai in disgrace, saying that we had interrogated the assassin all night, and that he was all tired and half dead, but the guy's teeth were so tight that he refused to say anything, but begged for a quick death. immediately suggested: "I'm afraid that the appearance of the last general is not vicious enough, can you call Governor Zhen to assist in the interrogation?" "Zhen Sui is ugly and fierce enough, maybe he can pry that guy's mouth open.

Pei should wave his hand and say that there is no need to call Zhen Sui, since that guy's bones are so hard, how can he be frightened when he sees an ugly face? Tell the servants, and then invite the Duke of Jingling to come.

Immediately, he went to see the Assassins with Wang Zhuo. When I arrived at a wooden house where the tribes lived, I peeked through the window and saw that the "Pei Tan" was like a "big" character, his hands and feet were nailed to the wall with wooden wedges, his upper body was stripped naked, and his lower body was only a calf nose, and his mouth was still stuffed......

Other than that, it's almost impossible to tell that it's a person, up and down! It was full of blood, and the flesh was turned out in many places, and I don't know if it was whipped with a whip or stabbed directly with a knife...... Seeing this, Wang Zhuo couldn't help but shudder and took three steps back; Pei Gai has even seen a lot of dead people, so he naturally doesn't care, but he still can't help but think: These boys are ruthless enough, and they really didn't torture that guy to death, where did he learn this technique?

asked Wen Lang, Wen Lang smiled bitterly: "There are some old officials in Chang'an Prison, who are used to torture and plunder, we specially summoned them to preside over the punishment, who wants to use it ineffectively......"

Pei Gai ordered: "Pull his head and wait for the prince to see." ”

Wang Zhuo was bold and looked at the bloody face of "Pei Tan" for a long time, and then sighed: "It's the so-called 'dead man'." Chao Pei Gai arched his hand: "Such a person, either willing to die for his master, or his family members are coerced, I am afraid it is not easy to make him speak." In Wang's view, there was only a sense of death on his face, without the slightest cowardice...... It's better to let him die, this kind of appearance looks really terrifying, and it also hurts Pei Gong's virtue. ”

Pei Gai sneered: "He wants to kill me, I torture him, how can he be hurt?" Then he raised his voice, deliberately so that the "Pei Tan" in the room could hear it, and instructed Wen Lang: "Qing went and told this guy that if he said the mastermind behind it, I would allow him to die quickly and be buried in the ground." Otherwise, they will be stripped and castrated, and they will be raised with a high pole and paraded around the world, and see if anyone will know that if they want to assassinate me, how can they allow him to die with his whole body?! ”

As soon as he flicked his sleeves as he spoke, he pulled Wang Zhuo and returned to the main hall.

The time was not long, Wen Lang ran in with a happy face, and reported: "The lord has a good plan, that guy is finally willing to recruit!" ”

Pei Gai smiled: "Sure enough, the main messenger is not Hu Kou?" ”

Jin and Hu were originally enemy countries, fighting each other, and doing everything they could, so Liu Yao or Liu Cang sent a famous dead man to assassinate Pei Gai, which was reasonable, so why should there be any need to hide it? Why did "Pei Tan" grit his teeth and refuse to confess who sent him when he died?

Besides, Pei should think back to yesterday's events, and as soon as "Pei Tan" came in, he shouted: "I don't expect to be able to see my brother's face today!" It is a pure Heluo dialect, and there is no Hedong dialect - he originally didn't care much about the Hedong dialect, but after seeing Guo Pu, he naturally had a deep impression in his heart.

If Hu Han sent it, wouldn't it be easy to find a Hedong man to pretend to be a disciple of the Pei family? Could it be that there will be absolutely no dead soldiers of the Hu people among the people of Hedong? And only those who were sent from elsewhere, Hedong dialect is difficult to make, and if you find an official standard, you can barely make up the number. said that he came from Hedong, if he spoke a northern dialect, a Hebei dialect, or even Wu Yin, Pei should inevitably be suspicious, and if he spoke Mandarin well, he would not be alert.

Therefore, he had long suspected that this person was not sent by Hu Han, and he was afraid that someone in the DPRK and China would be unfavorable to him, so he racked his brains and must interrogate him to find out the result. So this person is not even afraid of death, and he can still endure the punishment, how can he pry his mouth open? That's just humiliation - I've castrated you, and you're tied up and paraded around the streets, isn't that worse than death?

If the other party can really endure this, Pei Gai can't think about it, who would have expected that he would confess - Pei Gai also had a rough judgment in his heart about the mastermind behind him. Sure enough, Wen Lang gritted his teeth and reported: "The one who made this person plot to assassinate the lord, Zhang Chunye!" ”

Pei Caixin said that it was really him!

The territory he can control at present is only Henan and Guanzhong, Xu Fang is too far away, of course, it is impossible to really tie "Pei Tan" to Xuzhou to parade the streets, and it is estimated that he will be damned if he walks halfway. "Pei Tan" didn't want to be humiliated, and was forced to confess to the mastermind behind the scenes, it is very likely that in this area, there are his acquaintances, once they are seen and recognized, they will not only be ruined, but also insult their ancestors. In this way, its source can be narrowed down to Si, Yong, Yan, Henan, and some surrounding areas, and it is impossible to go farther.

- If Jiangdong really finds a native to come and plot to assassinate Pei Gai, it is unlikely that anyone in the north will recognize him.

But fortunately, the truth is still within Pei Cai's acceptable range, it was sent by Sima Bao's general Zhang Chun, not a traitor in Chang'an City. Pei Gai couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief, and then said with hatred: "Zhang Chun stabbed Chen An in the past, and now he stabbed me again, and sure enough, ......" couldn't help but say a post-secular sentence - "Dogs can't change eating!" ”
