After hearing this passage of the imperial doctor, Pei Yuetong and Xu Jiu'an's hanging hearts finally let go, fortunately, the concubine is fine, if something really happens, their hearts will be sad to death.

After greeting Shangshu and the Imperial Doctor, Pei Yuetong and Xu Jiuan quickly left Shangshu Mansion, and the two of them went home to discuss other things.

Pei Yuetong always felt that Shangshufu's stepmother was not a good person, she always felt that there must be a ghost in it, so she asked Xu Jiu'an: "Do you say that stepmother has a ghost, I always feel that she is not a good person, I always feel that the poison in the concubine is caused by her, although I don't have enough evidence to prove it, but the woman's first instinct tells me that this is the case, what do you think?" ”

Xu Jiuan nodded and said, "I agree with you, I have also observed her for a long time, and I always think that she is strange and behaving very confusingly." It doesn't look like a good person. So what are your plans now? Or are you ready to do something meaningful? Pei Yuetong said confidently: "Yes, I already have my own plans, since we both feel that something is wrong with her, then we must find out the matter, and we can't let my daughter be poisoned for no reason!" Xu Jiuan agreed with Pei Yuetong's statement, so the two of them began to act.

The next day, Pei Yuetong called his subordinates and asked them to do some things they had planned. After the subordinates gathered, they spoke: "What I asked you to do this time is to find out the identity of Shangshufu's stepmother for me, this person is very cunning, and rich and powerful, you should be careful when investigating, don't make a public announcement, pay attention to protect yourself, do you know?" The subordinates nodded one after another, and said to Pei Yuetong that they would successfully complete the tasks assigned to them. After saying that, everyone went out to act.

A few days later, the subordinates returned with good news, and after a series of inquiries for several days, a group of them finally figured out the true identity of Shangshufu's stepmother.

When the subordinates returned to the mansion and saw Pei Yuetong, they told her everything they had investigated. Pei Yuetong listened carefully to what they said, no wonder this person is so difficult to investigate, she does have some skills. It turned out that the stepmother of Shangshufu was a military general, that is, a brave general, and her name should not be underestimated, and she guarded the northwest, the scope of her jurisdiction was very large, and there were many people under her control, and her power was relatively large. But she is also very mixed in her official affairs, never doing things honestly, always thinking of crooked ideas and bad ideas, many people are dissatisfied and dare not expose them, so she has been so high-flying and domineering, no one governs.

Pei Yuetong investigated the matter of Shangshufu's stepmother, Xu Jiu'an was absolutely aware, after all, they were still discussing it together before, and Xu Jiu'an also supported Pei Yuetong's approach, and he also saw that the stepmother was doing strange things and using vicious methods, so she didn't look like a good person. So Pei Yuetong decided to find a suitable time period, and when Xu Jiu'an and her had nothing to do, she told Xu Jiu'an exactly what she asked her subordinates to investigate.

One day at noon, Pei Yuetong happened to return to the house from an errand outside, and it happened that Jiu'an was also at home, so he called him into the room, and the two had a discussion.

Pei Yuetong said to Xu Jiu'an: "Do you know, now I have a general understanding, it turns out that the stepmother of Shangshufu is the brave general, she guards the northwest, has a lot of power, and has a lot of subordinates, a group of people are under her jurisdiction and are very afraid of her, but she does things very well, never honestly does things, just thinks about crooked ideas all day long, she is really annoying enough." ”

After listening to Pei Yuetong's words, Xu Jiu'an was not surprised at all, because from his previous speculation, he already roughly knew what kind of person Shangshufu's stepmother was, but there was no evidence to implement it. Jiu'an and Pei Yuetong have been together for so long, and he has a good understanding of Pei Yuetong's character, and he must be able to see what Pei Yuetong is thinking.

So he opened his mouth and asked Pei Yuetong: "Yuetong, are you not used to seeing the various behaviors of Shangshufu's stepmother?" Pei Yuetong replied with a smile: "Haha, you can see this?" You're amazing! Xu Jiuan also replied with a smile: "Harm, I've been with you for so long, can't I see what you're thinking?" Listening to you talk so much, I also think that the stepmother of Shangshufu is really bad enough. Otherwise, let's figure out how to do something meaningful together, you say? ”

Pei Yuetong immediately stretched out his palm, so Xu Jiuan immediately stretched out a palm, and the two hit it off and laughed happily. After a while, the two of them began to think about how to deal with the matter.

Pei Yuetong spoke first and said: "Now that we have found out the identity of Shangshufu's stepmother, then everything behind is actually not very difficult, you can start with her identity first, first check what she has done, just listen to others say that it is useless, or do you have to investigate the most real by yourself, what do you say?" Xu Jiuan agreed with Pei Yuetong's statement, and the two hit it off again. After a while, after a long time, he asked rhetorically, "Then what do we need to do after the investigation?" It's useless to just learn about the bad things he did, we can't solve any actual problems, after all, the emperor can't solve her now! Pei Yuetong replied: "It's okay, it's better to check something first than to know nothing, let's catch her handle, and one day she will show her stuffing." After a long time, he felt that there was nothing wrong with what Pei Yuetong said, so he didn't continue to ask. The two continued to carry out their plans.

Pei Yuetong and Xu Jiuan are not ordinary people, both of them have certain abilities, and they also have certain subordinates and personnel, so it is not so difficult to investigate some things, and they began to investigate all kinds of deeds done by the brave general with their own strength. I don't know if I don't check, and I'm shocked when I check it. The bad things that General Xiaoyong had done were discovered by Pei Yuetong and Xu Jiuan one by one, and the truth was revealed step by step.

Pei Yuetong was originally with Xu Jiu'an, this brave general is often very arrogant with his military exploits on weekdays, if he is arrogant on weekdays, but since he is on the edge of the imperial city, at the foot of the Son of Heaven, this brave general really needs to pay attention.

Pei Yuetong thought so, but he was very confident in the people he sent out.

Sure enough, it was only seven days later, and the people sent out by Pei Yuetong had news, Pei Yuetong looked at the information in his hand, leaned on Xu Jiu'an's arms with a smile and said: "Husband, look, this person is really powerful, and he dares to do this kind of thing?" Are you really afraid that you will live for a long time? ”

Xu Jiuan gently pinched Pei Yuetong's nose, and said dotingly: "You, you, you, you are a powerful person, is there anything that our family Yuetong can't find?" I don't dare to bully you for half a minute, if I accidentally provoke you one day, don't you want to present me directly to the emperor, and then I will really have nothing. ”
