Seeing Yue Qianqiu disappear outside the door, Xiao Jingxian stood silent for a while, and then laughed without looking back.

"It's not a good habit to wake up and pretend to be asleep."

The sound of snoring on the bed suddenly stopped. Immediately after, the little fat man got up a little embarrassed, hung the curtain on the hook with one hand, and then whispered: "I just woke up when I heard your voice." ”

"Well, I'm sure you should have really fallen asleep when I went to the bed to see it before, but as soon as I and Chiaki spoke, you woke up." Xiao Jing first heard the squirming sound behind him, and knew that the little fat man was getting out of bed, so he whispered, "If you really sleep so deeply, then you must be too unvigilant." It's good to do this now, and I'll send you back to the palace in a while. ”

The little fat man was in a hurry, but he didn't notice the two words to send you, only paid attention to the two words to return to the palace, and immediately protested: "Even if there are too many messy things in the past two days, uncle, you don't have to send me back to the palace in such a hurry?" I thought about the assassin last night and thought it was strange, so I might as well hide it, according to what the thief said before? ”

The more he talked, the more he felt justified, and he actually said eloquently: "I think that almost everything has been pointed to Pei Xiang recently, which is very abnormal, although I don't like him either, and even hate him, but I can't always do everything according to personal likes and dislikes." In that case, isn't it best that this incident in the Jin Wangfu last night turned into a big and small matter? ”

Although Xiao Jingxian has not been with the little fat man for a long time, he also knows that this kid is a person who must be retribution, and he is the character of the present world, and being able to treat Pei Xu so leniently is by no means a high-sounding reason at this time. One of the most important points is probably to avoid the Jin Palace's anger and attack by those dissatisfied Great Wu officials because of the so-called assassin turmoil.

Thinking that although he occasionally gave guidance to the little fat man, he definitely couldn't talk about giving him any extraordinary help, he had to admit that the only son of the Southern Wu Emperor was indeed too good to him. Even if his nephew is still there, he is now a genuine prince of Northern Yan or even a prince, but I am afraid that he will not be able to catch up with this prince of Southern Wu who took the initiative to post it.

Therefore, he was silent for a while, and finally said lightly: "You are only half right about what you said. Even now, from your father to Yue Xiang, and then to other officials in the imperial court, everyone knows that Pei Xiang is probably afraid that he has fallen into someone else's calculations, but one thing can be said to be framed by others, and all things are said to be framed by others, how can people believe it? ”

Or rather, why should others believe that he was falsely accused? How much value can be gained by maintaining him compared to overthrowing his value? Is he a successful person, or is he so successful in doing things that others do not hesitate to bear the risk of being labeled as a member of the same party, find out the truth of this incident for him, and return him to a clean slate? ”

Seeing that the little fat man was dumbfounded, Xiao Jingxian said earnestly: "Don't think that a moment of kindness can make people grateful, sometimes, it is far better to send charcoal in the snow than to fall into the well." It is far more important to recognize whether a person is worth your hand than to think about small favors and small favors to win people. You have to remember that the unfathomable path of loneliness is what you should take. ”

Yue Qianqiu didn't know what Xiao Jingxian and the little fat man would say after he left-like like Xiao Jingxian, although he had spoken to Xiao Jingxian before, he had also noticed that the little fat man's snoring was different from the beginning, and he understood that the person had woken up - but he knew that Xiao Jingxian would definitely skip the affairs of the eight industries.

As for other reminders or teachings, it's all about people's "uncles and nephews".

He hadn't slept for two hours a night, so it was better to go back and catch up on sleep.

Early in the morning, the prince of Yue Jiu, who had been busy all night, returned to Yuefu to live with his relatives, and when he heard An Renqing say that the little monkey ran again to send the message, and then fell asleep, Jinling City from the palace to the outside, has become a pot of porridge. A fire in Pei Mansion burned nearly half of the century-old deep mansion compound, and the fire even spread to the next door, if it weren't for the wind last night, I am afraid that all the residents on a street would be unlucky.

And the voice that was like a night owl, which made everyone who heard it feel creepy, also had a result after a night of fire, and it turned out to be not those men of the Pei family, but an insignificant concubine in the Pei Mansion. The concubine is not Pei Xu's, but Pei Xu's cousin, who is mediocre, and has been serving as the prefect of Pei Hui before.

The concubine is very beautiful, and she is not a slave, her family is a commoner, because she was taken by Pei Hui who went out, she was sent to Pei Hui who was the prefect at the time by her family to regret her marriage. Pei Hui overturned the oil lamp in pain, but the concubine yelled while Pei's mansion was fighting the fire.

In the middle of the night, Pei's house was busy fighting fires, and on the adjacent streets, the unclothed concubine of the Pei family was Pei Hui's fish and flesh people, accepting bribes, disregarding people's lives, forcing Liang to become concubines, and killing domestic slaves...... I don't know how many crimes I shouted out, and finally died in front of the famous Confucius Temple in Jinling!

So, the little fat man who returned to the palace under Xiao Jingxian's escort met Chen Wuliang who was waiting there at the gate of the palace, and was summoned to the Daqing Hall with Xiao Jingxian.

Even if the two of them didn't mention the chaos in the Jin Palace, after a short stop in the main hall, the little fat man found that overnight, the Pei family seemed to have become a rat crossing the street, and everyone shouted and beat him, and he couldn't help but shake.

He couldn't help but sneak a glance at Pei Xu, whose face was like ashes, his eyes were bloodshot, and he couldn't even argue, thinking of the time he was dragged away by Yue Qianqiu a few days ago, Pei Xu relied on unexpectedly recommending Master Yu, and temporarily blocked the dirty water that was splashed over, even though he never liked or even hated this guy, he still couldn't help but have some heart palpitations.

That's what it is...... Is the wall falling down and everyone pushing it?

Suddenly, the little fat man only heard Xiao Jingxian's voice in his ears: "Do you think you still have to talk about last night's incident?" ”

Thinking that he had planned to help Pei Xu hide a little, he took the opportunity to show favor to the big man who had just been promoted to the second minister, and thought that when he dealt with those spies in Lishui Garden before, he also thought about taking the opportunity to take advantage of these high-ranking officials, but now the little fat man only felt that he was too ignorant of the sky.

If it was replaced by him before, Xiao Jingxian reminded him at this time, whether he wanted to leave some room for Pei Xu, or to avoid Xiao Jingxian being involved, he would definitely choose to calm things down, but this time, the little fat man did not have a mud.

After a large group of impassioned officials who stepped 10,000 feet towards the Pei family competed to express their opinions, the little fat man suddenly stood up and said in a deep voice: "Father, the son has something to say!" ”

Although the little fat man does not often go to court, he easily does not express his opinion every time - there are even many people who remember that this prince often appeared with Yue Qianqiu, a sworn enemy, before, so he went to look for whether there was a shadow of Yue Qianqiu behind him, but found that the cunning young man was nowhere to be seen, replaced by Xiao Jingxian, who had a joking face.

After the king of Jin was canonized, he almost never went to court, how could he suddenly make an exception this time?

No one thought that Xiao Jingxian did not come uninvited, but when he was at the gate of the palace before, Chen Wuliang was invited in by holy order when he announced the summoning of King Li Yiming.

And why didn't the little fat man notice that someone was looking behind him? But this kind of gaze not only made him feel uncomfortable, but also gave him a lot of encouragement, it seemed that Xiao Jing behind him was concerned first, which made him happier than his own attention.

Seeing that his father bowed slightly to himself, he took a deep breath, and very cautiously and objectively, he told the ins and outs of the snitch in the Jin Palace, last night, and when he talked about the person who was suspected of sneaking into his own guards first, and then blending into the guards of the Jin Palace, he suddenly raised his voice.

"This person is of suspicious origin, and his identity is even more suspicious. Erchen suspected that it was precisely because the real guard sent by his father to Erchen was a widower who married the daughter of the Pei family that someone took a fancy to this identity, and saw the opportunity of Erchen in the Jin Palace, impersonating and making waves! The son of the minister implored his father to recruit the best work from the criminal department, and carefully inspected the two corpses before and after, in case of fraud! ”

Pei Xu listened to the little fat man first pull out that the assassin was related to Pei's family, but pointed out that the matter was suspicious, and he was pleasantly surprised that there was a prince who spoke for him at this moment, but then, his heart that had just been excited sank into the bottomless abyss again.

Because, the little fat man glanced at him, and the next words sounded polite at first glance, but in fact, they were heart-wrenching.

"The accusations that the adults accused Pei Xiang just now, I listened carefully, in the final analysis, they all pointed to Pei Xiang's family, and did not involve him at all. From this point of view, Pei Xiang's own ethics are really trustworthy. However, he sat upright and did not control his family members well, and even indulged them in doing evil, is this the style of a prime minister? ”

The little fat man's tone at this time was even a little painful: "Pei's family has a hundred years of history in our dynasty alone, but now overnight, the mansion was burned to only a small half, almost harming the neighbors, and the root cause is just because of a corrupt official who is rampant and lawless, Pei Xiang asked himself, this two words of negligence, I'm afraid it can't be said, right?" The nephew's lawlessness is negligence, the younger brother's lawlessness is negligence, and the son's lawlessness is negligence. ”

Hearing that Li Yiming even pointed out his own son, Pei Xu's face finally changed, and his eyes stared at Xiao Jingxian behind the little fat man. You must know that although many officials bombarded him in all directions just now, from various angles, they did not involve his son. At this time, the only prince of the dynasty pointed a sword at his son, which undoubtedly said......

His stupid son sent a doorman to contact Nie Erzhu beside Xiao Jingxian, and the assassination of Yue Qianqiu was also insightful!

Xiao Jing first saw Pei Xu's gaze, and actually smiled slightly and nodded slightly. That's right, after Yue Qianqiu went out early yesterday morning, he made it clear to the little fat man. Seeing that Pei Xu was struck by lightning, he quickly looked away, and his head, which was barely held high just now, gradually drooped down, and then staggered forward, and he sighed in his heart.

Now that he is willing to make such a statement, Pei Xu's official career future is over!

Just now, so many people attacked each other, although Pei Xu, the second prime minister, said that his face was very ugly, but at first he was trying his best to refute, but after finding that it was futile to do so, even if he shut up and stopped talking, he never really relented, but now that King Li Yiming said this, Pei Xu actually confessed, and many officials in the court suddenly made a commotion.

There were almost no stupid people standing here, but in an instant, most people understood the little fat man's voice. The word nephew is easy to understand, Pei Nanxu did a stupid thing before; The word younger brother is also easy to understand, if it weren't for Pei Xushu's younger brother Pei Hui who was as lustful as his life, how could he be stabbed half of his life with a knife, and then let half of the Pei family compound, which has been inherited for a hundred years, be burned down?

But what is the meaning of the word son? Could it be that Pei Xu's son did something terrible and was known to the King of England?

Old lady Yue glanced at the little fat man quietly, and when he saw that people were also looking at him, he smiled innocently, he couldn't help but smile back, and then looked at Xiao Jingxian.

Although Yue Qianqiu and Xiao Jingxian didn't know how many times they had dealt with each other, Old Lady Yue and Xiao Jingxian had never met alone.

And the condescending emperor has a full view of all this. He looked at the back of Pei Xu's head for a long time, and then sighed softly: "The Pei family has been an official for generations, and the Self-Defense Dynasty is already a famous family. Pei Qing will go to Shishi, clean up the door of the house, don't have such an unthinkable thing again. ”

Speaking of this, the emperor paused slightly, and suddenly shouted in a deep voice: "Shen Zheng, Pei Hui's case, Pei Hui's daughter's assassin's case, and the strange assassination of the Jin Palace, I have handed it over to you!" ”

Seeing that the capable old man with gray hair had already come out of the ranks, thinking that Wu Desi was going to intervene in this matter again this time, the civil and military officials suddenly let out a buzzing discussion. And Shen Zheng, who stood up, bowed down as if no one was around: "The minister receives the order." ”

He finally waited for this great opportunity. The Yue family wants to take advantage of the fall of the Pei family to obtain the greatest benefits! The emperor must have thought the same way, so he would hand over these things to him to investigate!

Finding out that his son was involved in the secret matter was not among them, although he was ordered to give a minister, Pei Xu still quietly breathed a sigh of relief, however, after standing up with his strength to apologize, a fierce light flashed in his eyes, and he was about to make public the things that Yue Qianqiu had taken stock of yesterday's inventory and was all a gift from Xiao Jingxian, and avenged the old lady Yue before leaving, but he didn't want the emperor to suddenly say something again.

"Yesterday, Qianqiu made a lot of turmoil in Jinling City, I'm afraid that now everyone in the Manchu Dynasty knows about it, and he suddenly made a windfall of four or five hundred thousand yuan, right?"

As the emperor spoke, he took out a note from his sleeve and handed it to Chen Wuliang next to him with a smile: "Qianqiu is young, but he writes a good article, this song is sincere, and the sincerity of King Jin is clear." It's just that the King of Jin still treats me too much as an outsider, so why would he dedicate all those properties to me through the hands of Qianqiu? I am not short of money to spend, and when the King of Jin first arrived, I spent a lot of money, so I borrowed flowers to offer the Buddha and gave you all these things. ”

The officials who were carrying the impeachment of the music in their sleeves were very happy, and the officials who planned to wait and see for a while were even more gloating, but last night they were in a hurry to present the music in order to hit the ancestors of the Yue family by surprise, and the officials were dumbfounded.

I knew that kid had a lot of thieves, but this time he even acted fast, and they were cheated again!
