The task given to Pei Xiu by Li Jin was simple.

Let him check the source of the information and send a message to Yan Wu, the secretary of the Criminal Department: There is no need to wait for the verdict of Dali Temple, go directly to the Gao Mansion to get people, convict and conspire against him, and sit in the nine clans in a row, and ensure that all the people of the Gao family are killed.

He didn't say the content of the letter, but Pei Xiu probably guessed that the secret of Gao Yang should have touched the scale of the King of Shu.

So he no longer advised, and even clasped his fists and said sincerely, "The prince is wise".

Although Pei Xiu has never served as a eunuch, he has a delicate heart that is indispensable to eunuchs in the world, and he knows how to observe words and emotions and judge the situation best in his life.

Sure enough, as soon as he spoke, Li Jin's face quickly eased, and he raised his arm and waved his sleeves, as if he was tired, and reduced a lot of anger, "Stand down." ”

This time, he didn't stop Pei Xiu and tell anything, but just stood in the dim light with his hands and looked at Pei Xiu's distant back, independent and inseparable.

Suddenly, he became as if he had lost something important, and he was saddened.

"Sixteen years."

He muttered to himself to the silent people in the darkness.

……

……

As soon as Pei Xiu stepped into the line in front of the Gaofu Gate, the person changed his expressionlessness in front of him, and naturally brought an extremely sincere smile.

Busy with the soles of his feet, he rushed to report to Gaoyang.

Pei Xiu still walked in unhurriedly with a smile on his face, and did not stand outside waiting for the report, and stepped into the mansion with one foot.

After walking a few more steps, he soon saw Gao Yang's figure hurrying from a distance.

Gao Yang was originally a fat man, even if he was slightly emaciated in recent days because he offended the prince and was impeached, he still weighed 200 catties.

He ran like a moving mountain, and the shadow he cast could fit three Pei Xiu.

But the physical advantage did not add a little more aura to Gao Yang, he faced Pei Xiu, hurriedly squeezed out a flattering smile, walked over cautiously with broken steps, and asked softly, "Master Pei, I don't know why the adults are here?" ”

"Gao Yushi." Pei Xiu bowed respectfully, and said with a smile in his eyebrows, "I'll reply to you for the prince." ”

Seeing Pei Xiu's attitude, Gao Yang relaxed slightly, raised his hand with a smile on his face and greeted him, "Master Pei, let's go in and talk." ”

Pei Xiu shook his head, "Forgive the official for being rude, the prince is still waiting for the official to return to his life at this time, and he really can't delay today." ”

Gao Yang pulled the corners of his mouth in embarrassment, and his heart began to get nervous again, "I don't know why, I am so anxious......"

Pei Xiu hurriedly comforted him, "Don't worry, my lord, the prince is deeply sympathetic to what happened to you this time, and he has ordered Yan Wu, the secretary of the Criminal Department, to discuss the follow-up with you, and it will be here in a while." As for the ministers... It's just an errand runner, not worth mentioning. ”

Pei Xiu's words finally made Gao Yang feel at ease again, patted his chest and let out a long breath, "No wonder the world says that the prince is kind-hearted and the prince who is the most like His Majesty, but now it seems that it is true." It's also hard work for Mr. Pei. ”

"Where, where." Pei Xiu smiled and waved his hand, cutting to the point, "However, since we are all a family now, Xia Guan will say anything directly." Lord Gao should know the weight and impact of the letter you wrote to the prince, right? ”

Gao Yang nodded again and again, raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead, "Minister, panic." ”

Pei Xiu said, "But the prince didn't blame you, he just sent the official to ask if the imperial history had ever ...... this matter."

He was halfway through his words, but he meant something.

Gao Yang comprehended and said busily, "Please rest assured, no second person knows about this matter." ”

Pei Xiu smiled, "This is wrong. ”

"Since no second person knows about this, how did the imperial historian know about it? It can't be, the prince told you personally, right? ”

Gao Yang had no choice but to laugh awkwardly, "It's just a coincidence...... How, exactly, I, I also have some forgotten. ”

"I see." Pei Xiu laughed, gently swept the dust on his shoulders for him, and patted it again to appease, "It's okay for Lord Gao to forget, it's just a small talk." ”

The spring wind mixed with the fragrance of flowers blows softly, and the temperature is just right. But Gao Yang slowly shed a cold sweat in this sunny spring, and after a while, his clothes were wet.

Sweat flowed across his disc-like face, like a cracked crack.

The smile on Gao Yang's face couldn't hold back any longer, so he could only take out the handkerchief from his arms and keep wiping his sweat.

With the spring breeze, the crying of the youngest son came, which intensified and made people upset.

Pei Xiu didn't speak again, but for some reason, Gao Yang felt a little uneasy in this strange silence.

He finally mustered up the courage and opened his mouth to ask something, but Pei Xiu was already saying that he was going to leave.

"Lord Yushi is so blessed, and his children and grandchildren are full."

Pei Xiu smiled.

Gao Yang was stunned, and subconsciously spoke, "I don't know if Master Pei wants to pass on a son to you to pass on the incense ......?" ”

Pei Xiu's face changed, and he restrained the smile that had been hanging on his face, and was a little indifferent, "It's better to keep the good things for yourself." ”

With that, he turned and left.

Gao Yang was left alone in the courtyard, his mountain-like shadow was gradually decreasing, and with a few exclamations from the family, the mountain collapsed and fell heavily to the ground.

Pei Xiu ignored the noise behind him, and stepped out of the gate of the Gaofu with his feet.

Yan Wuzheng stood there.

He was very short and thin, and at this time, he was followed by dozens of tall officers and soldiers of the Criminal Department, and he looked weaker and weaker.

Pei Xiu didn't dare to slack off, hurriedly saluted, approached Yan Wu and said in a low voice, "Gao Yang is not honest, when adults arrest people, you have to count the number of people, don't miss any mistakes." ”

Yan Wu nodded expressionlessly, raised his hand and waved, and the people of the Criminal Department quickly followed him and broke into the Gao Mansion with great momentum.

Pei Xiu soon heard the wonderful screams and begs for mercy, and he squinted slightly in enjoyment, and his face was satisfied.

The cacophony was mixed with the voice of the weeping boy of Shicai, and the cry became louder and louder, as if shouting something.

Shouting for what?

Pei Xiu carefully identified it.

It seems to be... Daddy?

……

……

"Daddy."

Li Ronghe walked with a little joy to Li Yong, who had just returned to the palace.

Hearing his daughter's voice, the originally solemn expression on the prince's face instantly relaxed, and the anger in his eyes gradually turned into a loving father's softness.

Yuan Yi hurriedly stepped forward and saluted, "The minister sees the county lord." ”

Now Yuanshou is still recuperating from his injuries, and now that he is the only one close attendant left by the prince's side, he is naturally more sensible.

So he took the initiative to dismiss the guards behind the prince, leaving only a few henchmen by his side.

Seeing that his father's expression was wrong, Li Ronghe was a little curious, "What's wrong with my father today?" Don't seem to be happy? ”

Li Yong said, "Gao Yang was raided by Yan Wu!" ”

The voice was a little sad and indignant, "Is there any royal law to speak of?" The result of Wang Yi's trial has not yet come down, how dare he Yan Wu arrest people now! ”
