According to what the eldest aunt and the third aunt said, Ye Guoguo and Ji Jingbai bought enough candles, red dates, peanuts, longan, melon seeds and other things.

All on the carriage.

When she bought all these things, she was about to pass through the herb shop, so Ye Guoguo took her husband in and bought the materials for making mosquito coils: rosin powder, mugwort powder, tobacco powder, arsenic, sulfur, etc.

Then, I went to the academy to find Mr. Pei.

Mr. Pei is now the dean of 'Mingjin Academy', Ye Guoguo and Ji Jingbai have also been here before, when they went back, Mr. Pei personally sent them to the gate of the academy, and the little maids guarding the gate of the academy saw it, and now they saw Ye Guoguo and Ji Jingbai coming again, and they didn't go in to report, and a small guy led them in politely to find Mr. Pei.

Mr. Pei happened to be free, and he was busy serving tea.

Ye Guoguo is still a big bowl of tea.

On the day Mr. Pei became the dean, he already knew Ji Jingbai's identity, but he didn't dare to reveal it, he just cooperated, acting as if he didn't know.

As soon as he heard that they were going to visit the church again to get married, and they came to invite him to drink the wedding wine, Mr. Pei smiled and said: "I will definitely pass your happy day." ”

"Uncle, you must drink more when the time comes." Ye Guoguo said happily. She really likes this uncle's.

Mr. Pei smiled: "Naturally. After a pause, he said with a kind face: "I hope you have white hair and eyebrows, and your children and grandchildren are full." ”

Ye Guoguo immediately said happily: "Thank you, uncle!" ”

"Mr. Xie." Ji Jingbai also thanked him, and inevitably felt some bitterness in his heart. If so, of course, it would be good, but it won't be like that.

After leaving Mingjin Academy, Ye Guoguo and Ji Jingbai went home. Everything was bought, Uncle was invited, and there was nothing to do in town.

As soon as Mr. Pei sent Ye Guoguo and Ji Jingbai away, he thought that he hadn't been home for nearly two months, and he happened to be free today, so he should go home to take a look.

So, Mr. Pei went home.

But not long after returning home, I saw the biggest official in the state capital, the prefect, dressed in official uniform, and personally brought someone to his house to get him, and the people in Pei's mansion were immediately panicked.

I saw the prefect ask: "Can Dean Pei know Zhong Shangyuan, the secretary of the Ministry of War?" ”

Zhong Shangyuan is the secretary of the military department for less than two months after he took office, and he wrote to Mr. Pei a month ago, saying that he was promoted and became the secretary of the military department.

Mr. Pei naturally knew it, and he also knew that the person who came was not good, but he was still neither humble nor arrogant: "I know, I used to be a student of a lower official, but I don't know the adult-"

He is the dean of the academy, but this dean is also an official, and he calls himself a subordinate official, yes.

But before he finished speaking, the prefect cut off: "That's it!" Zhong Shangyuan collaborated with the enemy and treason, and he has been sent to the prison of the Criminal Department, so the emperor has an order," he said, bowing his hand respectfully in the direction of the imperial capital, "Those who have a close personal relationship with Zhong Shangyuan must be arrested and interrogated strictly." Come on, take it. ”

So, someone came up and arrested Mr. Pei.

Mr. Pei knew that this must be the order of the imperial capital, otherwise the prefect would not have been so blatantly come to his house to get him in the daytime.

However, he did not believe that his students would collaborate with the enemy and commit treason.

And he also firmly believes that those who are clean are self-purifying.

Therefore, he did not resist when he was taken.

Moreover, it is useless to resist.

"Search!" The prefect ordered again.

Immediately, someone searched everywhere in Pei's mansion, and after a while, many letters written by Zhong Shangyuan to Mr. Pei a long time ago were found in Mr. Pei's study.

Someone else went to the academy to search, and also found a lot of letters written by Zhong Shangyuan to Mr. Pei this year from Mr. Pei's study in the academy.

These are ordinary letters, and Mr. Pei put them in the study.
