Pei Yang took a step back, turned his head and said, "Princess Jinzhi Yuye, as a courtier, naturally can't look directly. ”

His palms were already sweating nervously, and he didn't know what the princess was going to do. He wanted to think too much, but he didn't dare to think too much.

Zhong Yihu looked at Pei Yang, who was dodging, suspiciously, rushed in front of him with an arrow step, and asked, "You are talking nonsense, you always looked at me before!" ”

"I didn't!"

Pei Yang flatly denied it, and turned his head to meet Zhong Yidi's gaze. Zhong Yi couldn't hold back the expression on his face, pointed at Pei Yang and laughed and said, "Look at what you're watching now, hahahahaha." ”

It's finally her turn to clean Pei Yang! It's so much fun.

"Can the princess not make such jokes."

Pei Yang retracted his stiff body, walked to the other side and looked at Zhong Yi who was smiling happily, with a displeased expression.

"Hmph, it's not like you've teased me before. Do you need me to list them for you? ”

Zhong Yi held his head high, but he didn't know that the person opposite had changed his mind. I didn't feel nervous at all. Pei Yang is not a person who will repay him, but he has to educate and educate the princess, so he can't joke like this.

"Are you okay? It's okay to go home. Not with me. ”

Zhong Yi saw that Pei Yang was speechless, thinking that he was angry, but the words of apology were not easy to say, so he could only say this. After all, Pei Yang teased her many times when she was a child, and she never apologized.

"Princess, the minister still has something to do."

Pei Yang approached the proud princess step by step, and this time it was his turn to press step by step.

"Tell me something, I'm going to rest." Zhong Yi blinked and looked at the visitor, not knowing what he meant, but his heart became inexplicably nervous.

"The minister is worried about the princess's rest, the princess is in danger today, but she will have nightmares at night?"

Zhong Yi's heels retreated a little, today's things were indeed terrible, and she vaguely felt that she would have nightmares again at night. But she couldn't break her majestic image just now, so she could only pretend to say: "No, this princess is notorious, how can she be afraid." ”

Her eyes blinked too fast, and Pei Yang knew that as soon as the princess lied, she liked to blink frequently.

This time, Pei Yang moved an inch closer, and said seriously: "Where does the princess have a notoriety." All the ministers heard was the princess's name. ”

"You talk nonsense, you. The effect is good. But everybody thinks I'm a dominatrix, and your housekeeper is afraid of me. ”

Zhong Yi pouted, very displeased.

She was standing by the wall at this time, Pei Yang was a little close to her, and this distance was also related to who took the initiative.

Pei Yang took the initiative to get so close to her, which made her a little uncomfortable, and she subconsciously took a step back. But her heel hit the wall, and when the back of her head almost hit the hard wall, she was cushioned behind by Pei Yang's palm.

In this way, the tips of their noses almost collided.

Zhong Yi's breathing began to be cramped, her eyelashes trembled surprisingly fast, and when she saw that Pei Yang wanted to take a step closer, she crumbled and cried: "Help......"

But when she arrived at Ah Zi, her voice weakened, because she found that Pei Yang just wanted to pull her hand out.

Pei Yang looked at Zhong Yi like a kitten, raising two small fists in front of his face. She wasn't so afraid when she saw the dead.

"The princess is so afraid of the courtiers?"

Faced with Pei Yang's question, Zhong Yi stood up, "I, I, I thought you ......"

Pei Yang didn't say anything more, only left a sentence, "The princess can't act privately." Otherwise, our alliance will be terminated. And he brushed his sleeves and left.

After Pei Yang walked away, Zhong Yi felt that his head was not a head, his feet were not feet, and he wanted to stand in the clouds, fluttering, this feeling was also unprecedented.

The next day, Pei Yang took the letter to find Xuan Wenbin, Xuan Wenbin looked at the letter in front of him, opened his mouth wide, and his eyes were about to fall on the letter, "I'm not mistaken, 20,000 taels of silver." ”

"You're not wrong if you can read."

Pei Yang insisted on the tea bowl of mutton fat jade, he took 20,000 taels of letters today, and deceived Xuan Wenbin's family to drink the green phoenix marrow, which was also worth it.

"What's wrong with you? Sick? Oh, really, really didn't expect that our relationship would come to this point. When you are gone, I will take this money and do good deeds. ”

Xuan Wenbin said so movingly that tears were about to fall. It's like Pei Yang is really going to die and entrusts him with all his family property. He was acting here, and he felt a cold air around him, and Pei Yang was looking at him coldly.

"If you weren't dying, how could you give me so much money."

Pei Yang snatched the letter and glanced at him, "Did I say it was for you?" ”

He snatched it from this side and relied on the letter, and the tea bowl on the table went to the other side, and Xuan Wenbin said in a heartfelt manner: "It's not for me, don't drink my tea!" ”

"If you don't drink this tea, you will let it go. What a pity. Pei Yang stretched out his long arm and wanted to grab it, but Xuan Wenbin, a wealthy ghost, directly hugged the teapot and bowl into his arms, and would rather burn it than give it to him.

Pei Yang lost his temper, waved his hand and said, "Okay, okay, get down to business." The cost of an army is only twenty or thirty thousand taels a year. If there is a war, it is another calculation, and there is no war now, and it is counted as 30,000 taels a year, which is enough. ”

Seeing Xuan Wenbin nodded, he affirmed his question, and then said: "If these 20,000 taels are just a part of the corruption of the officials of the military department, and they have accumulated over the years, think about how many they will have." ”

Not long after Xuan Wenbin took over Wang Peng's post as a squire in the military department, he found that the military expenditure on duty in this military department was similar to that of the household department, and there were actually two account books for military expenditures, which were presented to one above, but the other below.

Although his family is wealthy, he was born as a businessman, and the whole family is one of his middle lifts, shining on the lintel. And he has no roots in the court, and he is not willing to use money to open up his career, so Pei Yang is such a friend.

Pei Yang is loyal and patriotic, there is no second heart, and the Pei family has been on the border for generations, he believes in Pei Yang and is willing to help Pei Yang.

"Tell me, what do you want me to do?"

"There is a murder in the palace of the eldest princess of Roujia, the princess will report it to the imperial court, and His Majesty will send someone to investigate. During the search, the object was found. After the inspection of the cabinet, it was found that it was the property of Wang Peng, the former servant of the Ministry of War, and the amount was significant, and the Ministry of War should send someone to seal the cabinet. ”

After Pei Yang said his plan, Xuan Wenbin naturally understood. It's just that they all know that this plan is only the best state and may not go smoothly.

Sure enough, the first step of the plan began, and there was a thwart. After the murder case of the princess's mansion was played, the music on Zhong Mu's table was very high. Most of them are the princesses who are tyrannical and indiscriminately kill innocents.

But they didn't even check, just because of the death of the two concubines, plus the capital punishment of the former concubine's family. The charge was put on the eldest princess's head.

Gonggong Liu, who was beside Zhong Mu, said to Zhong Mu after classifying the folds: "Your Majesty, among these folds, Sancheng wants you to abolish the title of the eldest princess, Sancheng wants you to deduct the eldest princess's salary, and Sancheng wants you to send the eldest princess to become a monk." Yicheng, Yicheng wants you to investigate the murder case of the eldest princess's mansion. ”

"Who wrote that Issei?" Zhong Mu pressed his eyebrows and asked Gonggong Liu.

"It's Lord Lang Xuan of the Ministry of War, Lord Pei, the right counselor, and Lord Nie, the Shaoqing of Dali Temple." The first two Zhong Mu didn't care, this last person aroused Zhong Mu's idea. He looked at Pei Yang and Xuan Wenbin on the other side with strange eyes.

"What's going on with this Nie Rui? On your side, too? ”

Pei Yang saluted and said: "Lord Nie and the minister are not familiar with each other, but the minister heard that this Nie Shaoqing is an idiot for individual cases, and he is interested in any case, especially the murder case." ”

"It's funny. It's just that you have also seen it, how to decide this matter, and it has to be discussed in the book, look at this posture, what kind of negotiation can be made, I don't need to say more. Zhong Mu soothed his straight back onto the backrest, and pointed out Pei and Xuan, "The case of the princess's mansion needs to be agreed upon by the Chinese book before the decree can be made." But the small case next to it is not needed. ”

Recently, the confrontation between Zhong Mu and the Empress Dowager has intensified in the court, and if he wins this battle, it will be the first victory of his faction.

He will do his best to help them, but his power as an emperor is really limited at the moment.

After Pei Yang and Xuan Wenbin met, they were going to find Nie Rui, but this person had a strange nature and didn't like to deal with people.

The two of them thought about it for a long time, and they didn't know how to go to Nie's house to talk to Nie Rui. If you ask someone for help, you have to do what you like. But this Nie Rui doesn't love money, fame, or profit, he only loves murder and ...... Corpses.

Pei Yang thought about it, he couldn't send those corpses in the princess's mansion to the Nie family.

In the early morning of the next day, there were five more corpses in front of the house of Nie Rui, Shaoqing of Dali Temple, that had begun to decompose. Nie Rui opened the door and carried the five corpses home one by one with a calm face.

In the alley in front of his house, Zhong Yi almost vomited when he saw it, "Huh...... This man still has this fetish, I can smell the rotting smell of the corpse from a long distance. And he just carried it in? ”

Pei Yang looked at the princess who had to come with him and shook his head, but Zhong Yi's reason for coming was very reasonable, her princess's mansion, her people were dead, and the body was gone. Naturally, it was up to her, the master, to find it.

As officials in the same dynasty, even if Pei Yang and Xuan Wenbin are not familiar with Nie Rui, Nie Rui has always seen them, so it is not easy to come forward.

After waiting for a while, Zhong Yi knocked on the door of Nie Rui's house with more than a dozen thugs.

But there was three knocks on the door, and no one answered. Zhong Yi looked at Pei Yang strangely, but he didn't know why. Could it be that this person got carried away from the autopsy?

I knocked more than a dozen times, and the bell Yi who knocked went back to the alley to rest in the shade, but the door still didn't open.

Zhong Yi rubbed his eyes and said to Pei Yang, "It can't be that the corpse inside has eaten him." ”

After her words fell, Pei Yang shook her shoulder, only to see that the door that had just been closed finally opened.

Zhong Yi walked to the door with her skirt and said to the person who came out, "Why did you steal the body of my princess's mansion?!" ”

"Oh, give it back to you." Nie Rui seemed to be unable to move his expression, his face froze, and he turned around to go back and get the corpse for her.

"Hey, me, I'm the eldest princess of Roujia. That's what you talk to me! Zhong Yi stuck in his waist, very angry, this six-grade Dali Temple Shaoqing didn't take her seriously at all.

"The case has been clarified, and you didn't kill the person." Nie Rui turned his back and spoke to Zhong Yi, without a trace of respect, "Don't you just want me to prove this, I'll meet tomorrow. I don't know where these five bodies came from. ”

With a "snap", the door was slammed shut again.
