Shocked the nation's greed. The corruption case was finally approved and thoroughly investigated.

For a time, the Criminal Department, Dali Temple, and the Military Department were busy. And Pei Yang, the counseling doctor, is idle. Although he is an official and obeys the fourth rank, he seems to have a high rank, but in fact he is just a fictitious position.

If you think it's a vain position, it's better to be the captain of the five-grade horse......

Pei Yang actually thought of this again, and he retracted his mind and looked at the scroll. But this mind can't be stabilized.

"Fumihiko! You can't imagine what it's like to investigate your boss's house. Xuan Wenbin came in with a loud smile, but saw Pei Yang sitting alone. Form lonely.

He shut up and slowly stepped forward and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Pei Yang retracted his thoughts, looked at Xuan Wenbin and reluctantly smiled and said, "It's nothing." I envy you for doing this, but I can only be at home in a daze. ”

"Stop. If it weren't for your strategy, where would it have been so effective? I'm just a puppet acting in front of the stage, and you're the one behind the scenes. Xuan Wenbin saw that something was wrong with him, but what he thought of was that Pei Yang was in his current position with all his talents. Definitely displeased. He himself didn't like official positions, but now he is investigating corruption. Rot, very happy, but also feel the fun of being an official. It's just that Pei Yang has too many constraints, and he is really not as comfortable as him.

Pei Yang saw that it was rare for this person to greet him, and he said it so well. The dark clouds in my heart disappeared a little, and I said to him, "Then should you treat me to a meal or something?" Xuan Shilang, oh no, maybe in a few days, he will become a Xuanshangshu. ”

He smiled slyly, making Xuan Wenbin can't help but feel that he didn't pretend on purpose. This person can't always act, otherwise he won't be able to tell the truth from the fake.

But the case was investigated quickly, and he had other things to tell Pei Yang, so he just went to Mingyue Tower to talk about it.

Pei Yang looked at the recipe and smiled slightly, this spicy fried lamb tripe, stir-fried field chicken, and spicy cabbage rolls are all princesses' favorite dishes. The princess didn't look at her status, but she preferred to eat such heavy things, he shook his head and ordered a few light dishes. He didn't have much of an appetite anyway.

Seeing the dishes ordered by Pei Yang, Xuan Wenbin thought that this person had changed and saved him money.

In short, Pei Yang today, all kinds of things are wrong.

"What's wrong with you? So negative today? I thought you'd kill me. ”

Pei Yang just shook his head and drank tea, as if nothing happened.

"You don't just say it. I have something to do, and you must be refreshed when you hear it. Xuan Wenbin said and took out a residual letter.

Pei Yang took it and looked at the letter that had been damaged for most of it, shook it and said to Xuan Wenbin: "What can be seen here." That's all there is to it. ”

"You're the most cautious on weekdays, take a closer look at this paper."

Pei Yang followed Xuan Wenbin's reminder, took a closer look at the paper, sniffed it again, frowned suddenly, and said two words: "Pepper paper?" ”

This pepper paper is a special paper for household records, because there are too many files to be recorded by the household department. And it needs to be stored for a long time for inspection. Therefore, it will be used to add pepper water when making paper to prevent insect damage. Therefore, this paper became pepper paper.

The paper used by the general eunuchs themselves is mostly ribbed paper made of sandalwood bark. Ordinary people naturally use hemp paper in their homes.

"Tobe ......" After Pei Yang said these two words, he pondered for a while, and then said, "Who do you suspect?" ”

"Jia Zhou."

Hearing the name Xuan Wenbin said, Pei Yang nodded, "Hubu Shilang?" That's Captain Yin's protégé. ”

Xuan Wenbin found out about Xingtou at this moment, and he absolutely refused to give up. Even if it offends the younger brother of the Empress Dowager, what about it?

"Military expenses are all allocated by the Ministry of Households, and only the Ministry of Military Affairs is checked, not the Ministry of Households, is it possible?"

Pei Yang knew what he meant, but he couldn't do it quickly. Win the first battle, just a small setback of the opponent's spirit. Too aggressive, Pei Yang fears that others will be implicated.

"Captain Yin, I'm afraid that he won't let us check. With this, you should take it slow and think about it in the long run. You thoroughly investigated both at once, have you considered the consequences? ”

His words caused Xuan Wenbin to be extremely dissatisfied, and he took the case and accused Pei Yang of saying: "Your Majesty has issued an order to strictly investigate this case!" What is a strict investigation and what is a thorough investigation? If I open one eye, close one eye. Isn't it a betrayal of His Majesty's trust? How can you do things that are so timid. ”

The dinner ended unhappily, leaving Pei Yang alone. And the one who treated the guests didn't pay.

Pei Yang left the silver and was just about to leave, when a girl wearing a jade-colored embroidered folded branch pile flower skirt and a gold wire inlaid ruby double luan swayed emerald walked from the stairs. He stopped, bowed, and said, "Princess." ”

His words did not get a response from the other party, Zhong Yi ignored him at all, and glanced over his side to look at the dish he had just ordered.

"Hahahaha, are you going to become a monk? Eat so vegan. ”

Zhong Yi's ridicule made Pei Yang, who was still in an uncomfortable mood just now, suddenly smile with his eyebrows, "No, the minister is with Lord Lang Xuan, the squire of the military department." He had gone beforehand. ”

He looked at it with deep tenderness in his eyes, and Zhong Yi smiled like a crescent moon's eyebrows.

"We're going to eat here too, do you want to eat some meat together?"

Zhong Yi invited him three times and twice, and he really wanted to agree. But......

"The princess is not allowed to sit at the same table with the ministers. This is outside, moreover, it will attract criticism to the princess. ”

Zhong Yi pursed his lips and didn't want to cause trouble for him, but when he was about to leave, he suddenly grabbed his sleeve, "By the way, I forgot to tell you." The queen mother wants me to go back to the palace for a few days, so you don't need to send someone to follow me. ”

Following her slender fingers clutching her sleeve, Pei Yang looked up, and he turned around and nodded unnaturally. And left.

The Queen Mother was old and missed her daughter, so she asked Zhong Yi to go back to the palace to live. On this day, the queen and the queen mother are going to worship the Buddha. Zhong Yi was naturally reluctant to go to that place, but it was even more awkward for her to stay in the palace by herself. And he followed.

All this way was escorted by the forbidden army of Wei Hanhai, and the forbidden army drove more steadily than ordinary coachmen. Zhong Yi fell asleep in the car.

When she arrived at Fengguo Temple, when Zhihan called her down, she was still hazy.

The queen mother walked over, took Zhong Yi's hand, and whispered in her ear, "I just slept in the car for a long time." The hairpin on his head is crooked. ”

Zhong Yi helped his hairpin, pouted at the queen's mother, and pretended to be angry: "How can my sister laugh at me." ”

"What is the princess's name, how can so many people be called sister." The queen mother covered her lips lightly and pulled her to the queen mother's side. In and out of the palace, the royal family is most afraid of messing up the generations and making people fall into the truth.

Zhong Yi hooked the queen's palm disappreciatively, and joked: "When I was a child, my brother also called you sister, who made you laugh at me, I want others to hear." ”

The queen's mother's family name is Gu Mingyu. Pei Yang's aunt married the former wife Gu Yangxi. At the beginning, because she was the daughter of the Taifu, Gu Yu occasionally entered the palace, but she happened to be looked down upon by the sixteen-year-old young and ignorant Zhong Mu. The first thing Zhong Mu asked Pei Yang for in his life was to ask Pei Yang to be the wingman and marry Pei Yang's cousin to be his crown princess.

Zhong Yi didn't want to listen to the old monk's chatter about the Book of Heaven, so he took Zhihan and a few forbidden guards to hang out in the courtyard. Just wait for the Queen Mother and the Queen to finish listening to the Buddhist scriptures.

After the Queen Mother went to settle on her own, Aunt He, who was beside Queen Gu Yu, called Zhong Yi to her meditation room.

She wanted to say a few words to Zhong Yi, but there was no one left in the meditation room.

"Sixth sister's new mansion, is it okay?"

Faced with Gu Yu's question, Zhong Yi was a little surprised and did not answer.

Just looked at Gu Yu and said with a smile: "Someone has helped you a lot, how can you thank others?" ”

This person is naturally Pei Yang, thinking about what happened before, Zhong Yi suddenly understood. The Empress Dowager didn't want to change the palace rules at all, Pei Yang and the Empress collaborated to deceive her. Otherwise, why has it been so long, and she hasn't changed in the past few days in the palace?

Gu Yu pursed her lips and smiled, knowing that she understood. patted the back of her hand again, relieved, "Your Majesty said that the sixth sister is the smartest. A little caution is always hidden. ”

"Hmph, you deceived me all over the place, and said that I was smart, I was the stupidest of all, and you were smart. Your cousin is the smartest. ”

Seeing Zhong Yi pouting, Gu Yu nodded her nose, shook her head and said, "He's not smart, how can he get so good now?" ”

Zhong Yi didn't know what to say, so he only heard Gu Yu say again: "Do you know that he lost his mother when he was four years old." Always kept in his grandmother's yard. Although he is a son-in-law, he is not as favored as the concubine who entered the door later. In this family, only his grandmother is good to him. ”

Zhong Yi didn't understand even more, how could a flesh-and-blood relative treat him badly? A child who has lost his mother early should not be more loved by his father. Thinking that his fifth brother had no mother when he was a child, his father made an exception from the king of the county and named him the prince.

Listening to what Gu Yu said again, she suddenly felt that Pei Yang was so pitiful. Daddy didn't like him, and my brother couldn't see him all the time. There is also an aunt and a pesky brother who often bully him. I thought it was because the Hou Ye and the prince were at the border that his cousin was so arrogant. It turned out that he was spoiled since childhood.

And he entered the palace as a companion because Jing Yuanhou didn't want him to go to the army. Zhong Yi thought that when he was a child, he always looked at the territory map with his third brother, thinking about it, he really wanted to join the army. The children of the hairpin family can only stay in the capital and talk about it, which is also so sad.

This night in Fengguo Temple, Zhong Yi only thought about what Gu Yu said, and it was difficult to sleep peacefully. She never thought that Pei Yang's life experience would be like this. After knowing him for more than ten years, she doesn't seem to know him at all.

I used to think that he always bullied himself, so annoying. Now I think this person is also very good.

Just as she was thinking about it, she suddenly smelled a pungent smell, because she had wheezing when she was a child, and it was very uncomfortable to smell it at the moment. Although she was cured from a mild illness at the beginning, she now feels that her body is cold and hot, and she is clutching her chest and begins to have some spasms.

Suddenly, there was a fire outside, and someone shouted, "It's out of the water!" Walk the water! ”

Zhong Yi felt that the sound outside the house was gradually becoming unclear, and the firelight in front of him had become a circle of light.

With a thud, she fell straight off the bed......
