Yang Jing took Lu Baiyu back to the living room of Peng's mansion, the broken tea cups and stains on the floor had already been swept away, the room was filled with a fresh fragrance of fine clouds, and the table was full of all kinds of seasonal melons and fruits and exquisite pastries.

Yang Jing knew that this was Mrs. Peng's attitude now, and he also had to admire Mrs. Peng, it was not unreasonable for this old man to be able to control and pull the huge Peng family all the time.

As the head of the Peng family, as the leader of the most low-key but most stylish and well-known hundred-year-old clan on Jinghu North Road, he was able to bow to Yang Jing in order to take care of the family's reputation, and this bearing and courage alone were enough to prove his wisdom!

In fact, he also knew very well that even if Yang Jing moved Song Ci and Wang Gonggong, used force against the Peng Mansion, and wantonly wanted to dig the gate, the big deal would be a lose-lose situation.

Even if the body is dug up from under the gate, the culprit is Yan Lichun, and the Peng family is only damaged by reputation.

But his Peng family can still stand, isn't it because of this gate and the heavy archway outside the gate, isn't it because of the word reputation!

Wealth is just a number for a wealthy family like the Peng family, and many nouveau riche in Baling City have even more wealth than the Peng family, but why can only the Peng family be called a wang family?

Because the standard for measuring a noble family is not only to look at wealth, but also to look at reputation!

He couldn't tolerate Peng's reputation being damaged in the slightest, because he knew very well how much it would cost to accumulate a little reputation, and it was easy to destroy it, and what he couldn't tolerate was that the one who ruined Peng's reputation and trampled on Peng's dignity turned out to be a woman, and she was also his own eldest granddaughter-in-law!

Once this matter spreads, even if he remains silent, even if he opposes it and refuses to allow Song Ci and the prince to dig the gate, in Yan Guifei's opinion, it is no different from betrayal!

Since the results were all the same, why didn't he accept Yang Jing's suggestion, reach some agreement with Yang Jing, abandon Yan Lichun, and even choose to stand on the opposite side of Yan Guifei and keep Peng's reputation?

Not only does he have the stomach to tolerate Yang Jing, but he also has the courage and decisiveness to confront Yan Guifei, this quality is not something that can be cultivated overnight, but the wisdom that has gradually precipitated after decades or even a lifetime of operating a huge noble family, experiencing countless mistakes and lessons!

Seeing that Yang Jing didn't have much mood swings, Mrs. Peng also had to be impressed by Yang Jing, he had seen too many young people, and he had seen countless young people, but none of them could be like Yang Jing, which not only made him angry, but also made her have to bow her head, and in the end, she really couldn't get angry!

The old lady knew that it was not Yang Jing who made him bow his head, but interests, and what he was afraid of was not Yang Jing, but Song Ci and Wang Gonggong, which was a crisis that made the Peng family ruin their reputation.

But it is undeniable that it is Yang Jing who can grasp all this and use it for himself!

This young man has a temperament that is completely different from the young talents of this era, and he has a maturity and stability beyond his age!

The old lady finally became calm, because he and Yang Jing both knew very well that what they wanted was not to quarrel, let alone fight fiercely, their first priority was to solve the problem, each had their own needs, so they had to cooperate.

The old lady needs to protect the reputation of the Peng family, and what Yang Jing wants is for the old lady Peng to stand up as a witness and completely crucify Yan Lichun!

Yang Jing is a stubborn person, knowing that there are victims' bodies under the gate of Peng's mansion, but he can't dig them up to testify, which is really not in line with his style.

But he also knows very well that now that the case is at an impasse, Mrs. Peng is definitely a hammer to turn the situation around, and the victims discovered earlier are already enough to bring Yan Lichun to justice, and even let her get the punishment she deserves.

Too much money is just a number, the crime of murdering ten people, the punishment is Ling Chi's execution, and the murder of twenty people is also Ling Chi, if you can exchange those corpses under the gate of Peng's Mansion for the opportunity to punish Yan Lichun, why not?

Besides, Mrs. Peng just concealed the fact of digging the gate, and it was impossible for him to let those corpses continue to hide under the gate, they would be dug up after all, but the place where the corpses were hidden had to lie, which did not violate Yang Jing's principle of doing things.

With just a little flexibility, you can get Mrs. Peng as a tainted witness, accuse Yan Lichun, and completely end this case, why not?

Moreover, isn't the greatest wish of these victims to bring the murderers to justice? Yang Jing can avenge them by just lying about the burial place of the corpses, and it is still worth it after all.

This is also in line with the saying that many people believe, there are no eternal enemies, no eternal friends, only eternal interests.

Yang Jing took a sip of tea, as if he had just come in, as if all the unhappiness of Shicai had never happened.

Then he heard Mrs. Peng say: "The old man really has little consideration in this matter, but it is related to the reputation of my Peng family, and I can't tolerate the old man not being cautious and offended, and I ask Lord Yang to forgive me..."

Yang Jing didn't care about him, and waved his hand lightly: "The old lady is serious, Yang is light, and the old lady should be cautious, but as the old lady said, this matter is related to the reputation of the entire Peng family, the old lady really has to think about it, to be honest, Yang is also a native of Baling, how can he watch the old man and the prince turn the Peng Mansion upside down?"

When Mrs. Peng heard the names of these two people, her brows furrowed, but she quickly stretched out and nodded at Yang Jing.

"Lord Yang cares about the feelings of the township, my Peng Mansion has nothing to repay, Lord Yang has something to ask for, and the old man will definitely do his best!"

Yang Jing was relieved when he got the old lady's words, thought about it, and talked to the old lady again.

"Since this is the case, then Yang will be cheeky and thank the old lady first, but on the day the old lady renovated the gate, Yang still wanted to invite Song Ge to come and sit down... I hope the old lady can do it..."

"This..."

Hearing Yang Jing speak like this, Mrs. Peng was embarrassed again, it is said that Yang Jing's consideration is not too much, because someone must witness the process of exhuming the corpses under the gate of Peng's mansion, and those corpses must also be transferred to the county government, and finally have to be submitted to the Criminal Division through Song Ci.

And Yang Jing is just a sesame big official after all, if the Peng family has the intention to assassinate Yang Jing, the matter will be completely covered up, so Yang Jing moved Song Ci out and let Song Ci be this witness, and the Peng family would not dare to attack Song Ci no matter what.

"Song Ge Lao has now recovered, returned to a high position in the temple, and is an upright character, will he..." Mrs. Peng asked tentatively, although he knew that Yang Jing and Song Ci had something to do with it, but he didn't know that Yang Jing could get Song Ci to agree to this agreement, after all, Song Ci was notoriously iron-faced and selfless.

Yang Jing could hear Mrs. Peng's concerns, and immediately laughed and said: "The old lady is also concerned about the chaos, if the fraud case and serial murder case are solved, it will definitely be able to restore Song Ge Lao's previous prestige, this will also be a big gift from the old lady to Song Ge Lao, I think Song Ge Lao will definitely return the favor..."

"Yang doesn't know much about the affairs in the court, the old lady should know better than Yang, didn't the old lady think that Song Ge Lao was ordered to recover at such a time, and even the princes around the official family came to our Baling, which is of great significance..."

Yang Jing is reminding Mrs. Peng that Song Ci has been reused at this delicate time, indicating that the official family has begun to decide to take action against Yan Guifei and other traitors, if Mrs. Peng is not old and dizzy, she should see the situation clearly and decisively choose Song Ci's side instead of Yan Guifei!

Mrs. Peng had already decided to draw a line with Yan Guifei, if he stood up as a witness, he would definitely turn against Yan Guifei's camp, although the power of the Peng clan could barely resist, but if he could take the opportunity to climb up to Song Ci, an old minister, it would be equivalent to standing in the same boat with those Qingliu bones in the court, which would be of great benefit to the Peng clan to boost its prestige!

Although the Peng family is a century-old family, but the talent is gradually withering, and now it is different from the past, it is precisely because of this that Mrs. Peng wants to tie up with Yan Guifei, but if there is some way, who is willing to do such a despised and spurned thing?

And Song Ci's camp is mainly the Qingliu loyal ministers of the dynasty, if this matter is done, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is famous in history, and the Peng family will definitely get a great reputation from it, for the Peng family, who regards reputation as more important than life, Yang Jing's proposal has another layer of irresistible temptation!

"That being the case, please also ask Lord Yang to speak for the old man, if the old Song Pavilion can really do this, it will be the blessing of my Peng family, and the old man will definitely reward Lord Yang heavily!"

Mrs. Peng obviously thought about this clearly, and she also changed from the first resistance to Yang Jing, to acceptance, and then to the politeness now.

Yang Jing saw that the agreement was basically negotiated, so he no longer had scruples, and chatted with the old lady in detail about the specific time and related matters, until the afternoon, and stayed in Peng's mansion for a banquet.

This box is full of weight, it must be gold, silver and jewelry, if Yang Jing doesn't accept it, it will make Mrs. Peng think that he has other plans, anyway, he doesn't have much money as a pusher, and he still needs to maintain the operation of the huge manor, take care of Chen Chao and others, and in the future, he will have to spend a lot of money to buy materials and study some things he wants to make, and the more money the better.

Seeing that Yang Jing accepted the box, Mrs. Peng was relieved, and it was not until the time of the lamp that the banquet was dispersed and Yang Jing was politely sent out.

Lu Baiyu helped Yang Jing hold the box, but she couldn't speak for a while, today she accompanied Yang Jing, which really made her have a great change in Yang Jing's opinion, especially when she got to the carriage, she opened the box and found that it was full of gold, silver and jewelry, and it was full of dazzling eyes, which was a little unbelievable!

Yang Jing not only succeeded in getting Mrs. Peng to dig the door openly, and went to court to refute Yan Lichun, but also made Mrs. Peng polite to him, and also gave a big box of treasures!

The lantern hanging outside cast a dim faint light, illuminating half of Yang Jing's face, Lu Baiyu was silent, secretly looking at the man next to him who was leaning on a cushion to close his eyes and recuperate, and suddenly felt familiar and unfamiliar.
