Chapter 59: Seeking Hope (II)

"You're a man, crying like a and pretending to show whom?" Throw him a handkerchief, "Quickly wipe away your tears, so that people don't say that I did something to you." ”

Guo Baoyi was in tears, wiped it again and again, and still cried. "I've been wronged. Brother Pei, I was really wronged. ”

"It's not wronged, and it's not me who decides, so let's do it, it seems that you won't stop until you reach your goal. It's not interesting to play like a mother-in-law, crying, making trouble, and hanging yourself. Tell me, and I will discern for you. Pei Jiben didn't want to help him, but he really couldn't grind it, so he had to listen to him.

"It's true that Guo Mingda and I are brothers, but I haven't seen him until I was twenty years old. The last time I saw him, Daqi didn't have it yet. At that time, the Holy One was not enthroned, and it was the time of the Great Weekend. ”

"Hey, are you talking about before Cui Liang's rebellion?"

Guo Baoyi touched his head, "It seems to be, but Cui Liang rebelled before and after the founding of the country, I don't remember much." ”

"That's interesting, what is he doing with you?"

"At that time, it was Lu Yao, Guo Mingda, and Cui Liang who dragged me to death, but there was nothing secret, just drinking at home." Guo Baoyi said.

Pei Ji wrote down the matter, "Lu Yao? That Tobe squire? The household department is really crooked on the top and crooked on the bottom, and there are batches of talents. ”

"Oh, I still remember that when I bumped into Zhong Chuqin in the wine shop, we already had a grudge at that time, and it seemed that we were scolded by him in person."

It is well known that Zhong Chuqin is nosy, but he didn't expect it to come to this point.

"Yo, you eat and drink, he still cares."

"Lu Yao, Cui Liang, me, when he saw it, he scolded us for being silverfish, there was no way, I couldn't hide if I wanted to." Guo Baoyi said again: "He found fault and forced me to beat him that day." ”

Pei Ji yawned, "Zhong Chuqin is a good material for the imperial history, but he is rigid." It's you, you don't know how to look at the characters, you've been poked in the back, and you don't know it yet. ”

Guo Baoyi had a smile on his face, "So, I don't know who it is, I just came to you, the younger brother begged the eldest brother to help." ”

"Little brother and eldest brother, don't bring your Jianghu qi to me."

"Yes, little brother, no, the lower official will never be again. The young eunuch is not to blame. Don't blame the young eunuch. ”

Just now he showed his son's arrogance, but now he is restrained like a grandson. Pei Ji couldn't help but sneer, it's really funny.

"Go on, you know the details of Guo Mingda, tell it all."

"Guo Mingda, I don't know this person very well. He and I are both from Luoyang, but he left Luoyang with his family early. Seriously, this guy is a bit weird and likes to play with the old way. It's just that the gods are chattering, and my mother never let me associate with him. ”

Pei Ji nodded, "So, you guys can't get involved at all?" ”

"yes, I was surprised when the clock clerk pulled me in."

"It is rumored all over the capital that you often get together for drinks and have opened a gambling game. Is there such a thing? ”

Guo Baoyi hesitated, "No, no, those who drank with me were with their subordinates at those times." ”

Pei Ji squinted, "It's not like ah, you haven't seen it, aren't they waiting to blow out the rumors?" ”

"Ah, no, no. We've met, we've talked about something. ”

"Things?"

Guo Baoyi swallowed, "Well, if you want me to borrow money from him, I will ask for 350,000 yuan when I open my mouth, and I can't take it out for a while." ”

"Borrowing money, didn't you say what to do?"

"Oh, he said he was in debt and needed to pay it back urgently. But my mother came out to stop me, and fortunately I didn't borrow this money, otherwise it would have been even more troublesome. Guo Baoyi's head was sweating.

Pei Ji asked: "Tell me again, what did Guo Mingda invite to drink tea from Dali Temple?" ”

"The reason was that Zhong Chuqin found out that he was greedy for gold in the vault. As a member of the household department, he colluded with the Jinbu Langzhong, and stole hundreds of taels of gold from the Jinbu. ”

Pei Ji remembered the one hundred taels of gold that Pei Xu collected that day, and the tribute gold of Huiji County was the gold from the gold department. "I heard that Captain Xiao also has a tribute in his hand, and he has shown it off?"

"No, no. Even if there is, it is a royal gift that is not easy to show. ”

He can't tell whether Guo Baoyi is lying or not, so he won't startle the snake.

"Guo Mingda, a member of the household department, Wu Yuanzhong in the Jinbu Langzhong, and Lu Yao, the household servant, all of them are guilty of the household department when they wear a line. You won't be able to stick a foot in it. Pei Ji asked.

Guo Baoyi's face turned pale with fright, "No, I never deal with them." Unless Wang Qingzhi, right! Wang Qingzhi! ”

"Wang Qingzhi? And what are you doing with him? ”

Guo Baoyi hurriedly explained: "Wang Han, the household servant, is Wang Qingzhi's father. ”

"What's wrong with Wang Qingzhi? He takes the money from the household department? Does he dare? ”

"I just followed him, that kid behaved perversely, and no one dared to do anything to him, so he was even more arrogant." Guo Baoyi whispered again: "I heard that the kid's hands are long." ”

Pei Ji immediately said, "Shut up." ”

"I,"

"You have a good relationship with him, why don't you even let him go? Did you go and beg him, and he drove him out? When it comes to this, he is absolutely straightforward enough. He couldn't understand it anymore, and Pei Ji didn't have a rut.

"Hmm...... He has always given up when something happens. I begged him for a small favor, and it took a few days to grind. ”

Pei Ji raised his eyebrows, "Hey, that's not right, Wang Qingzhi is a cool person, so you're stingy?" ”

"No, no, he's divided. He doesn't look at it much, and there are few people who can get his blue eyes. ”

Obviously, Guo Baoyi and his ilk, Wang Qingzhi can't look down on it. Pei Ji snorted lightly, "I've been with him for so long, and you haven't even been able to tell him the truth." ”

"It's no wonder, I'm just a flatterer. Without Empress Dowager Guo, I'm nothing. But his Wang family, there are queens, Wang Shao, and many more children. I can't even stand up to a single fart. Guo Baoyi hated the root of his teeth.

Pei Ji said lightly: "Don't, you can't count, and my family is even worse." Don't talk about the royal relatives, don't say it. ”

"Lu Yao, the household servant, fought secretly with Wang Han, even if he had the intention to cling to the Wang family, he also fell apart because Wang Han was jealous."

"Dark Fight?"

I had heard that they were at odds, and it seemed to be true.

"Yes, Wang Han relies on himself to be a close relative of the queen, and he has always loved to play with power. Lu Yao was angry and wanted to compete with him. I don't know how many stumbling blocks we have made with each other. ”

"Hey, it's not true, you don't need to say it."

Don't listen or ask, when you don't know anything, it's Pei Ji's principle of doing things.

Guo Baoyi was anxious, "Having said so much, can Brother Pei make a move?" ”

"You, go to Cheng Ge Lao and explain the matter to him. Again, go with him to see Zhong Chuqin, kneel down and confess his sins. Just speaking of this, let's ask for more blessings in the future. "Pei Ji is here.

He didn't expect to touch Pei Ji's nose here, and in the end, he sent him away with just one sentence of begging the elder Ge. So he said sullenly, "Okay." ”
