Chapter 40 The Dark Tide is surging
"What are you doing this for? You are the most trusted lieutenant general by Yao Feng's side, and he is assured to do everything for you, but he would never have thought that you would do such a betrayal of him, and you would have betrayed his heart for you. ”
Qin Shao said.
Pei Yingzhuo was surprised for a moment when he heard this, but quickly recovered his true nature: "What can I do under him?" It's better to do a big vote, but unfortunately, I originally wanted to stop this time, but I didn't expect it to be planted in your hands. ”
When he said this, he was very arrogant, and with a little pity, it was not the first time that he wanted to embezzle food.
Seeing that a few people did not speak, he said again: "Now that I am in your hands, I will kill or chop, whatever you want!" ”
Chu Jiao only felt that he was crazy and said, "Stuff him with a strip of cloth and be careful that he commits suicide." ”
"Now send the food and salary to the frontier immediately, you must hurry up, and you will escort Xiuying this time." Qin Shao didn't look at Vice General Pei, but said to Xiuying.
Xiuying was ordered, and just as he was about to leave, he heard him say: "Don't tell him about Vice General Pei first." ”
After all, no one thought that this matter would be done by him, and now that Yao Feng is on the battlefield, if he learns such news at this time, I am afraid it will affect his mood.
After everything was settled, Cen Si prepared a table of good wine and food, and when Qin Shao and Chu Jiao sat at the table, Cen Si was about to close his mouth with a smile, and naturally said a lot of words of thanks, and Qin Shao and the others just smiled.
After eating wine for a while, the two went back, preparing to return to the capital early tomorrow morning.
Chu Jiao was lying down, but she was also worried: "Vice General Pei's identity is special, if this matter is known to the sage, I'm afraid it will be inappropriate, and maybe Yao Feng will be implicated. ”
"This is the crime of deception, you should be joking?" Qin Shao's tone was a little mocking, as if she was saying that she was smart.
Chu Jiao pursed her lips: "When he comes back, let him personally deal with Vice General Pei, after all, he is a confidant who has followed him for many years, and this kind of thing is difficult for anyone to accept." ”
Qin Shao turned over and stared at her face, there was no expression on his smooth little face, and he inexplicably felt that the woman in front of him was frankly a little cute.
"There are many things that you and I can decide, and it is not fun if this matter is discovered by the saint."
Chu Jiao's face smiled: "Is the prince still afraid of this kind of thing?" And no one would say such a thing. ”
Qin Shao suddenly felt bored, and his face calmed down: "Hurry up and go to sleep." ”
Pei Yingzhuo was secretly taken back to the Qin Palace, and the sage also explained it as Chu Jiao said.
After the supply of grain and grass on the frontier, Yao Feng broke the enemy army, and immediately repelled the tribes that were in rebellion on the frontier, and then the squad returned to the court. The saint was very happy to know about this, and he also had a plan in his heart.
The next day, when he went to the court, the sage directly announced a holy decree and gave Yao Feng an important position, and for a while, all the winds in the court went in this direction, and Yao Feng's threshold was about to be broken, but he was not arrogant or impatient, his mood was very stable, which also made the sage's thoughts about him more and more good.
The ministers of the court struck while the iron was hot, and they all played one after another, and they all talked about asking the saint to establish an heir, and the saint not only did not get angry, but also praised the ministers.
Three days after Yao Feng came back, he entered through the back door of the Qin Palace, and when he saw his former good subordinates, he had already changed beyond recognition at this time.
"I didn't expect you to betray me to such a situation, but how innocent this people are." Yao Feng hates that iron does not become steel.
Pei Yingzhuo never said a word, because he never felt that he had done something wrong.
"Master, your heart is not ruthless enough, in this world, you need ruthless people." Pei Yingzhuo said.
At this time, Chu Jiao and Qin Shao were outside, giving Pei Yingzhuo and Yao Feng time to be alone, and when Yao Feng came out, his clothes were stained with blood, and the people inside had already fallen to the ground.
Love is deep, hate is deep. Chu Jiao thought that was probably the idea.
"Thank you for helping to cover up this matter" When Yao Feng walked out, his face was tired, and the whole person was in a very bad state, but he also understood that what Qin Shao did did really help him a lot.
"It doesn't matter."
His voice was cold, he didn't come up with the idea, he wasn't interested in the battle for the throne between the princes.
"I heard that the princess also helped a lot in it, but I didn't seem to have anything to do with the princess before, I don't know how the princess thought of helping me at that time?"
He quickly calmed down, his voice filled with suspicion.
Chu Jiao didn't expect to be suspected, but now that she thinks about it, it is reasonable, she just smiled and said: "Don't get me wrong, it's just that I have always heard of your name in the early years, although I haven't seen it with my own eyes, but I have always remembered it in my heart, so after the accident, I said a few more words, and I didn't help much." ”
Yao Feng nodded suspiciously: "That's inside..."
Chu Jiao hurriedly said: "If you don't want to deal with it, just leave it to me, and I will definitely handle it properly." ”
"Then it's troublesome, by the way, in the future, if there is a place where the prince in the court can use me, just one sentence."
After saying that, he left in a hurry, but his back was a little hasty, and he almost fell.
"Go and bury him." Qin Shao said to Xiuying.
The two of them walked leisurely, and Chu Jiao was inevitably touched when she saw what happened just now.
"Vice General Pei can come up with such a method alone, what does he want this money for? I always felt that he should be working for others. Chu Jiao said.
"How could you have such an idea?"
"It's nothing, just thinking, if a person who is only greedy for life and afraid of death, why is he willing to follow Yao Feng to run around before, villains are greedy for wealth, after he embezzled the silver, he checked all his things, and found nothing special, even the pots and pans are dilapidated, and he didn't find out that he secretly hid more property, this matter is really weird."
This person is dead, and the so-called suspicions are just her guesses.
There is no evidence of any connection between him and others.
"Forget it, don't think too much, it's the Queen Mother's birthday in a few days, you better hurry up and prepare congratulatory gifts, and other things."
Qin Shao watched Chu Jiao be so distracted, and stared at a certain place stupidly, so he commanded, turning her thoughts around.
"I didn't expect you to be a little cute when you get along." Chu Jiao said suddenly at this time.
Qin Shao also smiled: "Don't be-for-tat in the future, I also know that you are a reasonable person." ”
The Queen Mother's birthday is not a small matter, today's sage attaches great importance to this matter, and said that it must be handled well, Qin Shao wants to hide and be idle, but there is no way for the sage to assign him to manage and handle the Queen Mother's birthday, so he has been going out early and returning late these days.
Chu Jiao received a letter of invitation at this time, which was sent by Luo Min, saying that she wanted a few good sisters to get together, and she held a banquet to entertain her.
The relationship with Luo Min is like that, since it is not easy not to go, so Chu Jiao still decided to go out with red sleeves.
Since Chu Jiao went out, Red Sleeves looked at Chu Jiao very tightly, for fear that she would leave her again and leave by herself, because she was so anxious in the house that she cried.
Before he could go out, he was tripped up by Aunt Ming.
"What's wrong?" Chu Jiao frowned and looked at the woman in front of her.
Aunt Ming was very respectful: "Princess, the concubine has a few words to say, please ask the princess to please, the concubine is very worried and scared, she must say it today, otherwise she won't be able to live in peace." ”
She was nervous, and after waiting for her for a while, Chu Jiao agreed.
She hurriedly invited someone in.
"The concubine knows that she has committed a heinous crime, but the concubine really loves the prince, she was blinded before, and she has harmful thoughts, and she also asks the princess to give the concubine a chance to reform herself, the concubine will definitely not hurt people anymore, she will definitely be a good person, as for the housekeeper's affairs, everything depends on the princess!"
Aunt Ming spoke, and her feelings were sincere, and she almost cried bitterly.
Chu Jiao didn't want to take care of the housekeeper's affairs, but now it's just right.
"In this way, you will continue to be a housekeeper, but you only have this one chance, if you can't do this job well, I won't keep you by the prince's side, after all, the people who stay with the prince must be people of good character."
Chu Jiao said slowly, but she didn't expect Qin Shao to be so infatuated with a woman, and even such a woman was willing to reform herself, but she could see that Qin Shao didn't like her.
"Another point, in the future, if you want to leave the palace, I will intercede with you to the prince."
Aunt Ming listened to her and only felt that her blood was boiling, and in the end, she skipped all the things she said, and got the result she wanted, so she naturally left with a thousand thanks.
"Miss, why do you give her such power? She was not a good person before, and now if she is hypocritical, aren't we being put on the table again? Red Sleeves helped her into the carriage and asked.
"First, she has been managing the affairs of the palace for a long time, and she is also handy in doing things, second, she puts her limited time to concentrate on managing the palace, and after this matter, it will not be too public, and third, I really want to rest..."
Red Sleeves couldn't help but laugh when he listened to the last sentence: "Miss, you just want to be lazy and don't admit it!" ”
"You've been getting bolder lately! If you arrive, I'm afraid you'll be lawless! Chu Jiao stretched out her hand to tickle her, and the two laughed together in the carriage.
