In the July day, a chill ran down his spine, "However, the position of the Xiaguan District Langzhong is not enough to command the locality, and the Xiaguan wants to take people, who will take them?" ”

"It's not difficult, you just send an order and let the local people do what you say."

His scalp was numb, and if it was so easy, he wouldn't be so worried.

Yu Ye had no choice but to say: "It is difficult for the official to receive the order." He straightened up and bowed deeply to him.

"You don't follow, but the prince wants you to follow. But I don't care if you follow it or not, anyway, when the time comes, he's looking for you, not me. ”

Yu Ye only felt that he was stuck in a quagmire, and the harder he struggled, the deeper he sank.

Pei Xu can't push him to be anxious, in case he breaks the jar and falls, and he doesn't do it as soon as he kicks his legs, it will be a mistake. So he said angrily: "Langzhong, although this matter is difficult to do, it is not incomprehensible. ”

As if grasping at a life-saving straw, he hurriedly asked, "What do you say?" ”

"If you want to catch Guo Mingda, you must first detain the Guo clan, and anyone who may know Guo Mingda's whereabouts will be interrogated one by one until someone spits out his news."

"But the Guo family is the clan of the Empress Dowager Guo, although the Empress Dowager has collapsed, but after all, it is not something that my generation can shake."

Yu Ye felt that his bad idea would put him in a complete dilemma.

"If you can't judge your relatives, you can judge people. The slave maid of the Guo family, is it still counted? ”

It was dark outside, and the candles in the house were dim.

Such an offending thing, if Yu Ye did it, he would definitely be arranged to death by them. He smiled bitterly: "It's a small matter to ask about people, but it's a big thing to complain." You can't let the big and small officials of the Criminal Department be put in small shoes by others. ”

"So you're afraid of this, it's easy to say, it's easy to say."

Yu Ye regarded him as Zhao Kuo, who was pure and good at talking on paper, and he was also happy to see him point fingers.

"I've already thought about it for you, so I want you to go to Guo's house with Zhong Yushi." Pei Xu said with a smile.

He shuddered. He can't afford to be diligent at that time, not to mention his stinky temper, and he always boasts that he is a clear stream in the court, and he is a celebrity and a gentleman. A few days ago, when he and Chung were interrogating prisoners, he was often aggressive, which made it really difficult for him to deal with them.

"Is this okay?"

Yu Ye was full of resentment, "This, this,"

"You still refuse your idea?" Pei Xu took scissors to cut the red candle, "I also know what you think, don't you just annoy him and don't want to work with him?" You've been standing for most of the day, so sit down. ”

The wick was scorched and cut off, and it was difficult to regain its shine. There is a white hibiscus on the small table, and the branches and leaves are not verdant. By the dim yellow candlelight, the luster of the calyx faded, as if it was about to be lonely.

Putting down the scissors, Pei Xu smiled: "After standing for so long, I don't feel pain in my legs." ”

Yu Ye was bluffed by him for a long time, and he was still not at ease when he sat down.

"Although Zhong Yushi is a little tricky, but with him in front of major events, you can be leisurely. When he's picky, you have to be more tolerant, and you can't lose a big one because of a small one. If he is difficult for you, just tell me. At present, the crown prince is the greatest, and his business is the most important thing, and after this time, he will praise you. Pei Xu said with a smile.

"Xia Guan knows."

He had no expression on his face, and he didn't walk with any sassiness.

Pei Xu explained everything that should be explained, and it happened that it was time to disperse, and he walked towards the road reflected in the afterglow. The carriage had already waited at the end of the road, and when the coachman saw him coming, he picked him up and got him into the carriage.

"Where are the Sheren going?"

He only said: "Chongde Fang." ”

The coachman shouted and drove with a whip.

Pei Ji's house is in Chongde Fang, near Chongsheng Temple. The house is left by the previous doctor, although it has not survived a few years of wind and rain, it is not very new. There are only some yellowed sycamores in the courtyard, and it seems that they are infected with disease, and even the sycamores are depressed.

He walked through the hall and entered the inner room, but saw Pei Ji only wearing a shirt and carrying a pen.

"What's wrong with my brother?"

Since his illness worsened, he didn't see anyone and didn't talk about it, and he was lazy in bed all day. Pei Ji suffers from wind and often has a headache, so he is better, and he refuses to do things.

Pei Ji buried his head in copying books, "After lying down for a while, I felt stuffy, so I copied something to kill time." ”

"This is the dossier you wanted, and I specially copied it."

"I'll see it later."

Obviously, he had no time to take care of him, and Pei Xu wanted to go.

"Where are you going? You don't have to lay paper or grind ink for me. ”

Pei Xu smiled sullenly, then laid out the paper, and said when he took the bronze paperweight: "This paperweight seems to have been seen somewhere." ”

"Count your love to talk a lot, and grind the ink quickly."

Put a spoon of water, drop it into the inkstone, and push and pull the ink ingot. The "rustle" sound continued.

"This ink." Pei Xu put down the ink ingot, "Mixed with gravel." ”

Pei Jidao: "Why can't you even study ink after being an official for a few days?" Don't throw it away and replace it with another one. ”

Pei Xu was a little distracted, and he woke up after a few words from him.

After a long time, when he couldn't lift his wrist, Bojun said: "Well, the shade is appropriate." ”

"Brother doesn't read the file."

"Look at what? Haven't you thought it all through? ”

Pei Xu was at a loss, "My brother just said a few words casually." ”

"You still want to get me, in the name of the prince, you ordered the Criminal Department to find that Guo Mingda, can I not know?"

"I'm just in a hurry to break the game." Pei Xu laughed.

Pei Ji dipped in ink, "Anyway, it's done quite clean." No procrastination. ”

"Actually, I don't know where Guo Mingda is, but I guessed that he would hide in Chang'an, and there is no evidence to be found."

Pei Ji smiled: "You don't know, but I do." ”

"How does my brother know?"

"Guo Mingda and Guo Baoyi are both nephews of the Queen Mother, and it is nonsense to say that they have nothing to do with each other."

"So Guo Mingda is in Guo Baoyi's house?"

Pei Ji smiled from ear to ear, "How is it possible?" How could the two of them go to the door and catch him? ”

"Where's that?"

"It's safe and nobody is going to come to you. Naturally, it is the place of the temple and the ancestral temple. ”

Pei Xu didn't believe it, "These places? ”

"Recently, I've noticed that some people have come to their temple to worship, but it's not a good day, don't you think?"

Pei Xu immediately reacted, "Thank you, brother, thank you, brother." ”

"The Criminal Department can't find him this time, which can make them feel a lot more at ease. When the time comes, you can take them all. ”

"But what if you startle the snake?"

Since Guo Baoyi was beaten by the Zhong family, he has been quite shy of Zhong. This time, they investigated the Guo family in a grand manner, and it was difficult to guarantee that they would not be afraid.

"You go and teach them to check for a few days, it's best not to find out anything, and give Zhong Chuqin a dumb loss. That's how easy it to start. ”

"As long as Zhong Chuqin lets go, then the Guo family will naturally relax their vigilance."

Pei Ji smiled slightly and continued to write on the paper.
