In Pengcheng Taishou's study, King Wei was leisurely drinking tea, but Pengcheng Taishou, who was sitting below him, did not have the leisure of him. Although Peng Cheng Taishou sits, he is restless. His fat, round face was covered with sweat, and the clothes on his chest were already soaked with sweat. He kept wiping the sweat from his face with a handkerchief, but he wiped more and more.

King Wei didn't seem to see Peng Cheng's nervous appearance, and continued to drink tea in a leisurely manner.

Peng Cheng Taishou raised his eyes and cautiously glanced at King Wei, and when he saw that King Wei was still only concerned about drinking tea and ignoring him, he became more and more panicked in his heart.

He struggled in his mind, and finally gritted his teeth and decided to speak.

Peng Cheng's body was too heavy to get up directly. He put his hands on the armrests of his chair and struggled to stand up.

He stood up, trembled and took two steps, and then knelt in front of King Wei with a thud.

"Lord, minister...... Sin deserves death......"

King Wei seemed to notice the existence of Peng Cheng Taishou at this time, he put down the tea cup in his hand, and showed a look of surprise on his face.

"Lord Yan, what are you doing, hurry up." He said that he wanted Lord Yan to get up, but he didn't reach out to help Peng Cheng Taishou.

"Lord Wang, the minister is guilty." Peng Cheng Taishou said, kowtowing heavily to King Wei. A red mark immediately appeared on his broad forehead. "The minister is incompetent, and he has never found the whereabouts of the king of Chu."

"Lord Yan, you haven't found the whereabouts of the King of Chu, you shouldn't make amends to this king, but you should ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for your guilt." King Wei changed his gentle attitude just now, and his tone suddenly became very stern, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince told you that you must get rid of King Chu, but you haven't found King Chu yet, you are really capable." ”

Peng Cheng, who said this, was too frightened, and his fat body trembled violently.

"Minister...... Minister...... The whole of Pengcheng was found, but ......" He was so frightened that he couldn't say a complete sentence.

"But you still haven't found it." King Wei was very intimate and said what Peng Cheng Taishou had not finished speaking.

"Yes......" Peng Cheng lowered his head in frustration, not daring to look at King Wei.

In fact, Peng Cheng was very aggrieved in his heart. Ever since he received an order from His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, he has been sending people to search for the King of Chu in Pengcheng. His people not only dug three feet into the ground, but also searched from house to house, but still did not find the whereabouts of the king of Chu. Not even a single clue was found.

Pengcheng Taishou sometimes wondered if the King of Chu had not arrived in Pengcheng, otherwise it would be impossible to find no clues.

"Do you think the King of Chu didn't come to Pengcheng?" As soon as King Wei saw Peng Cheng's appearance, he knew what he was thinking.

Peng Cheng didn't dare to answer.

Seeing that Peng Cheng was too silent, King Wei asked in a deep voice, "Isn't it?" ”

Peng Cheng Taishou shook violently, and then replied tremblingly: "Yes......"

"Yes?"

King Wei's tone sounded very dangerous, and Peng Cheng Taishou hurriedly defended himself: "Lord, the minister is not a mouthful, the minister ...... These days, he has been sending people to look for the King of Chu, inside and outside Pengcheng, up and down, carefully and carefully several times, but he has not found any trace of the King of Chu...... "He really didn't excuse himself, he really sent someone to seriously look for His Royal Highness the King of Chu."

"Lord Wang, if the King of Chu is really in Pengcheng, it is impossible that there will be no traces at all, and the ministers ......" Pengcheng Taishou said as he spoke, his face was full of tears, and his voice was choked and he couldn't go on.

"You are incompetent!" King Wei smashed the tea cup in his hand into Peng Cheng's head, and Peng Cheng didn't dare to dodge. With a bang, the tea cup slammed into Peng Cheng Taishou's forehead, and blood was dripping immediately.

"The crown prince wrote to tell this king that as early as a few days ago, the king of Chu sneaked into Pengcheng with people." King Wei stood up and walked in front of Peng Cheng Taishou, then raised his foot and kicked him hard.

There was a loud bang, and Peng Chengtaishou's fat body fell to the ground. He spontaneously got up and knelt on the ground obediently. He didn't care about the blood on his face, and kowtowed vigorously while pleading guilty.

"Lord forgive your sins! The prince forgives his sins! The prince forgives ...... sins"

King Wei raised his foot and stepped on Peng Cheng's back. Don't look at King Wei's thin figure, but his strength is not small. He trampled Peng Cheng Taishou to the ground with this kick, and made Peng Cheng Taishou powerless to fight back.

"Do you know what the consequences will be if the King of Chu investigates the truth about the copper theft?"

Peng Cheng Taishou looked pained. He wanted to say what he wanted, but he couldn't say a word because it was too painful.

"The king of Chu has been sneaking into Pengcheng for several days, and you don't know what he has found and where he has found in the past few days......"

Peng Cheng Taishou begged for mercy vigorously: "Wang...... Rajah...... Spare ......"

"Spare your life? Even if this king spares you, do you think His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will spare you? King Wei angrily kicked Pengcheng Taishou's stomach again, and the painful Taishou let out a miserable scream.

"If the King of Chu investigates something, even if you have ten heads, it won't be enough to cut off." King Wei sat back in his chair.

Peng Cheng Taishou crawled to his feet and knelt on the ground trembling.

"Lord Help......"

"You let this king save you?" King Wei hooked the corners of his mouth and sneered, "How can this king save you?" ”

"Lord Wang, the minister is willing to do anything, please show me a way to live." Peng Cheng climbed to the feet of King Wei's legs, stretched out his hand to hug King Wei's legs, and pleaded pitifully.

King Wei did not kick Peng Cheng Taishou away, but lowered his head and looked at him with amusement.

"Although this king is the prince's younger brother, if this matter is messed up, this king will not be able to eat and walk around. This king also wants you to give this king a way to live, so that this king can give the crown prince an errand. ”

"Lord Wang, you must have a way...... Chen is really willing to do anything, as long as you open your mouth......"

Yu Hai, who was guarding the door of the study, heard the voice of Peng Chengtaishou pleading from inside, and smiled very proudly in his heart.

I don't know how long it took, but the study returned to calm, and then King Wei walked out of it, followed by the submissive Peng Cheng Taishou.

Walking out of the study, King Wei turned to look at Peng Cheng Taishou, and said in a serious tone: "This king will give you two days, otherwise don't talk about this king at that time, even Da Luo Immortal will not be able to save you." ”

Peng Cheng Taishou nodded and said, "Don't worry, the minister will do a good job." ”

King Wei nodded, didn't say anything more, turned around and left with Yu Hai.

After the King of Wei left, Peng Cheng Taishou's body staggered. If it weren't for the guards to hold him in time, I'm afraid he would have fallen to the ground.

The king of Wei did not live in the mansion of the Taishou of Pengcheng, but in the guest house of the Pengcheng family. This inn was opened by the Southern Wei Dynasty.

"Your Highness, the slave maid has found out the whereabouts of the King of Chu, and he has already gone to Wuhua Mountain with his people." Yu Hai respectfully announced to the King of Wei, "Your Highness, when the King of Chu arrives at Wuhua Mountain, then he will soon find the whereabouts of the stolen copper." ”

When King Wei heard this, he was not surprised at all.

"If he can't find it, then I really think highly of him."

Yu Hai asked, "Your Highness, are we going to stop the King of Chu next, after all, part of the stolen copper was taken by us?" ”

King Wei said: "No, let the King of Chu investigate, no matter what he finds, we don't interfere." ”

"But, Your Highness, if it is discovered that the weight of the stolen copper is not right, then won't we be exposed?" The prince sent people to steal Pengcheng's copper, but not all of it was taken by the prince's people, and some of the copper was quietly transferred to other places. "King Chu will definitely guess that you did it."

"He didn't have any proof that I stole it." King Wei was not worried about this matter at all, "The weight of the stolen copper is wrong, and my father will only suspect what the crown prince and Zhenguo Gong have done, and will not suspect others." And the fourth child will never tell his father that it was my hands and feet. ”

"Your Highness, the King of Chu is an enemy with you, how could he not report to the emperor?"

He had no evidence and didn't dare to speak easily. Even if he said that I did it, my father would think that the prince asked me to do it. "Wei Wangming has always been the prince's person on the surface, and he has always helped the prince do things. In the entire imperial court, only the King of Chu knew that the King of Wei was not the crown prince's person. "Also, he won't touch me now, just as I won't do it to him now." Until the last moment, neither the King of Wei nor the King of Chu will make a move against each other.

Hearing King Wei say this, Yu Hai felt relieved.

"Your Highness, having said that, the King of Chu is really capable, until now the crown prince and the prince of Zhenguo still think that he is in Pengcheng, and they don't know that the king of Chu has already left Pengcheng."

King Wei let out a sneer: "Just the prince's brain...... What can he do. There is also Zhen Guogong, what can others do when they are far away in the capital. ”

"Your Royal Highness, the King of Chu is really playing the prince and the prince of Zhenguo." Yu Hai's tone was full of schadenfreude.

"Everyone underestimated the fourth."

"Your Royal Highness, you didn't stop the King of Chu from investigating the theft of copper, I'm afraid that the Duke of Zhenguo will not let you go, and with his means, he will even make you a scapegoat."

"I expected that, so I had to arrange a play." The King of Wei had long known the true purpose of the crown prince and the Duke of Zhenguo, who had sent him to Pengcheng to prevent the king of Chu from investigating the theft of copper. "Pack up, we'll leave for Jinling later."

"Do you want to go back to Jinling now?" Yu Hai looked stunned, "Pengcheng doesn't care about it?" ”

"The matter on Pengcheng's side, Yan Taishou will handle it."

Yu Hai's face became strange: "Your Highness, Yan Taishou is a rice bucket, can he handle it?" ”

"If he wants to live, he has to do what I say, or he will die."

"Your Highness, what did you ask Yan Taishou to do?"

"You'll find out in a while." King Wei didn't say much about this matter, "Now I'm going to go back to Jinling." He was a little worried about the tenth brother, it was better to go back to Jinling as soon as possible.

"Yes, Your Highness." Yu Hai immediately went to arrange a return to Jinling.

An hour later, the King of Wei quietly returned to Jinling from Pengcheng.
