Chapter 222: Return to Beijing after debriefing

Tearing up a document that is not important or important, Qi Zihuan really didn't dare to bring people back to Jiang's mansion, if it wasn't important, it would be fine, but if it was important......

Maybe Taishi will tear him to pieces like Jiang You tore the paperwork.

It is better to avoid such a tragedy.

Jiang You did not refuse, and when he lowered his head, a heavy sadness suddenly appeared in his eyes, which was in great contrast to the previous vexatious trouble.

Whether it is the Jiang family or the Yang family, there is an important minister of the court who is proficient in calculations, and he really does not know what is written in that document, but if it is destroyed, maybe another tragedy will be avoided.

Now he really can't tolerate the slightest calculation around him.

What Jiang You didn't know was that although he tore up the paperwork, when they left in the carriage, the servants of the Jiang Mansion picked up the debris on the ground again, wasted a lot of effort to reglue it, and finally presented it to Jiang Bowen.

Jiang Bowen raised his eyes as if looking at it casually, and asked, "Why is a corner missing?" ”

Hearing the displeasure in Jiang Bowen's words, Barto wrinkled his brows and sighed, and replied truthfully: "The young master is too torn, and some fragments have fallen into the water tank next to him, and he can't see it clearly." ”

Since you can't see clearly, there is no need to pick it up.

Fortunately, although this thing is missing a corner, it does not affect the reading, and you can still roughly see the meaning that Yang Yishu wants to express from it.

As he spoke, Barto pretended to glance at Jiang Bowen a few times, and did not find any regret on his face.

The reason why the young master has become what he is now is because of the ruthlessness of adults.

It stands to reason that even if adults don't feel guilty about the catastrophe of their only child, at least it shouldn't be so easy.

After all, it was he who single-handedly ruined his child's future.

But on the contrary, the adult at this time had a calm face, and was even in the mood to write poems and paint in the study, not at all like a frustrated person, as if he had a broken leg, just an inconsequential stranger.

can be so ruthless in the face of his own son, let alone others.

Bato's heart was slightly cold, but his face was not revealed, and he still stood aside respectfully, waiting for Jiang Bowen's orders.

After a long time, he heard a chuckle from above.

Jiang Bowen's voice was slightly happy, and he knocked on the table and said, "Yang Yishu wants to make peace with me." ”

"Huh?" Barto looked up in surprise and said in surprise: "It's all so far, he still has the face to sue for peace?" ”

After fighting secretly for a long time, neither side sought benefits.

But it has reached such a point that Yang Yishu still wants to do something that has never happened, how cheeky is he?

Hearing this, Jiang Bowen's smile did not decrease, but his expression became more and more solemn: "Such a person is not easy to deal with." ”

An opponent who can not care about face is the most dangerous opponent.

Because if he really provokes the other party, he can't even want to lose face, let alone other things.

Such a person can be called a mad dog.

Bato didn't dare to speak lightly, let alone guess Jiang Bowen's thoughts, and after thinking left and right, he asked in a low voice: "......What does the adult mean?"

"Abandon it, this document has long been torn up by You'er and shouldn't exist." As he spoke, Jiang Bowen picked up the things and threw them into the brazier to turn into ashes.

Jiang Bowen narrowed his eyes slightly, and the corners of his mouth outlined a mocking arc.

Yang Yishu inevitably thinks too highly of himself, he wants to seek peace, is he going to turn hostility into jade?

No, he doesn't like to give up halfway, since he has completely fallen out with the Yang family, there is no need to show mercy.

After all, he knows too well how dangerous a sane mad dog is, and now the reason why Yang Yishu is seeking peace is just because the East Palace is frustrated, and he wants to recuperate for a while, and when he has a good rest, he will definitely choose the right time to fight back.

Rather than this, it is better to clean it up from the beginning.

Looking at the smile on the corner of Jiang Bowen's lips, the chill in Bato's heart was even worse.

Countless words converge in the bottom of my heart, but they stop between my lips and teeth.

The adults have fallen into a demonic obstacle, and it is useless for anyone to persuade them.

……

Days passed, and finally, two days later, the motorcade of Pei Ji and his party stepped into the gate of Shangjing City and returned to the place where they grew up.

As a minister of exile, Pei Ji did not dare to delay for a moment, and after entering Beijing, he only immediately sent Mrs. Pei back to the original mansion, and he didn't even have time to change his clothes, so he turned around and took the paperwork of the debriefing and ordered the coachman to go straight to the palace.

As soon as they arrived outside the imperial city, the forbidden army saw the carriage coming straight forward.

They were just about to stop it, but the carriage stopped with great interest and stood firmly outside the cordon.

Then, an unfamiliar face came to the carriage.

Pei Ji arched his hand at them from afar, and said softly: "Please enter the palace and say that Pei Ji, the assassin of Jianzhou, was ordered to return to Beijing to report on his work and ask to see His Majesty." ”

Hearing that he reported to his home, and his attitude was very good, the forbidden army avoided and returned a salute: "Please wait a while, Master Pei, I will enter the palace to report." ”

Hearing this, Pei Ji breathed a sigh of relief and responded with a smile.

After the forbidden army left, Pei Ji stood alone under the imperial city, looking up at the magnificent Jin Palace, and couldn't help but be a little stunned.

Carefully calculated, he has not returned to Beijing for eight years.

After eight years, things have long been different, and even the imperial city in front of them has become more and more unfamiliar, and the faces guarding the city gate have changed batch after batch.

As far as the eye could see, there was no trace of what he was familiar with.

For a while, Pei Ji's heart was slightly sad, and he was at a loss for the unknown.

Although there are factors of coercion by the East Palace when he returned to Beijing this time, the biggest reason is that he has been away from his homeland for many years and wants to come back.

The Donggong coercion is just an excuse for him to return to Beijing.

It's just that he who can't tolerate sand in his eyes can stay in the weirdly changing court storm, how long can he stay safely?

After all, there are a lot of people who have offended themselves.

Thinking of this, Pei Ji couldn't help but have a little headache, he raised his hand and stroked his forehead, wanting to relieve the sudden pain.

At this time, the forbidden army returning from patrol passed through this place and happened to see Pei Ji standing outside the palace gate.

After taking a closer look, the man hurriedly turned his head and explained a few words to the person beside him, and then hurriedly walked towards Pei Ji.

After hearing the footsteps, Pei Ji walked out of his memories and turned to look at the source of the sound.

Seeing this, he couldn't help but be stunned on the spot.

On the contrary, Pei Gong, who recognized the old man first, was excited, and hurriedly took two steps back to salute the juniors, and called in a slightly trembling voice: "Third uncle." ”

Looking at the man in front of him wearing silver armor and his face full of determination, Pei Ji reacted for a while, and asked uncertainly: "Pei Gong?" ”

"It's me, Third Uncle." Pei Gong smiled and showed a mouthful of big white teeth.

After getting an affirmative answer, Pei Ji was overjoyed, and hurriedly took two steps forward to help him up, patted his thick shoulder, and said with emotion: "I haven't seen you for eight years, and your kid has changed from a troublemaker to what he is now." ”

While speaking, Pei Ji looked at his nephew who he hadn't seen for many years in front of him, and it was almost impossible to overlap the little ghost who used to only go to the room to uncover the tiles and pinch the clay people with the subordinate of the forbidden army in front of him.

Seeing this, Pei Gong scratched his head, a little embarrassed, and never mentioned the black history, only said: "The third uncle is still the same as eight years ago, I recognize it at a glance." ”

Hearing this, Pei Ji laughed heartily and said: "Your third uncle and I are old, but you are not at all like when you were a child, if you don't come to recognize your relatives, I'm afraid I won't be able to recognize you." ”

This is true.

In the past, Pei Gong was white and tender, but now Pei Gong has become a man who stands up to the sky, even through the thick armor, he can feel the explosive power contained in the tight muscles when he slaps it with one palm.

Eight years later, it's completely different.

After a long time, Pei Ji praised him and said: "If you can enter the forbidden army, you kid can be regarded as a glorious ancestor." ”

"It's just a matter of luck." Pei Gong didn't dare to exaggerate, and said: "As early as a few days ago, the family received the news that the third uncle was about to return to Beijing, and they have been preparing to welcome each other, but they didn't expect the third uncle to return so quickly." ”

Pei Ji understood and explained: "I returned after the order, and I was in a hurry to report on my work, so I naturally didn't dare to delay, and after everything was settled in a few days, I would go back to the old house to visit the people at home." ”

Pei Gong nodded clearly, guessing that the reason why Pei Ji appeared here was to enter the palace to report on his work.

Seeing that the time was about the same, Pei Gong didn't dare to leave his post for too long, so he said: "In this way, my nephew will wait at home for the third uncle to return." ”

"Let's go."

After the words fell, Pei Gong had returned to his position.

After he left, the smile on Pei Ji's face faded.

To be honest, he hadn't figured out what kind of attitude to take to go back to the old mansion, and the words just now were just used to fool Pei Gong.

Eight years ago, when his wife was pregnant, the second elder of the family forced him to take a concubine, so that his wife quarreled with the family, and he was worried about premature birth and injury, and he has not recovered.

Since then, he has taken his wife and children and invited him to leave Beijing to take up his post in a remote place, and there is nothing else except a letter sent home during the New Year's holidays.

Eight years have passed, although he occasionally feels guilty about the second elder in the family, but he has never regretted his original choice, as a man, if he can't even protect his wife, then he will be in vain.

After thinking about it, Pei Ji was still stumped by the relationship between his mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, so he simply didn't want to.

Anyway, they reopened a house outside, and if they really can't get along, they will be separated.

After a pillar of incense, the forbidden army who entered the palace came back and gave Pei Ji a pass order to pass through the other two palace gates.

"Your Majesty is waiting for Lord Pei in the imperial study, and please enter the palace as soon as possible, don't make Your Majesty wait too long."

Pei Ji stretched out his hand to take it, and responded without humility or arrogance.

Immediately, he turned and got into the carriage, and ordered the coachman to continue his journey to the palace.

This time, the Janissaries retreated to the sides and did not stop again.

When passing through the last palace gate, in order to show respect for the royal family, Pei Ji got out of the car and walked on foot.

The palace people who were ordered to guard on both sides took out the documents in the carriage and walked towards the imperial study.
