Bai Min was shocked, please us? I'm afraid it's not that simple, Pei Zongmin wants to exonerate himself at the banquet? Or is there another purpose? But I can also probe Pei Zongmin's tone at the banquet, or will I go?

Wait a minute? Pei Zongmin only said to invite us, and did not mention Uncle Chen? Does he know that Uncle Chen is gone? Or is it because Uncle Chen is gone that he came to invite us, in order to resolve the impact of Uncle Chen's entry into Beijing? If we go, it is very likely that Uncle Chen's plan will be disrupted.

Although the desire to learn made Bai Min want to go to the banquet to find the truth, reason restrained him.

If Bai Min knew what had happened to the previous banquet in Pei Mansion, he would not have been entangled anymore, but directly refused.

Chen Buzhi is also very entangled now, although he didn't think about it so much, but he also knew that this banquet was not simple, and he was afraid that he and Bai Min would be difficult to deal with at that time, and he didn't know whether to agree or refuse for a while.

"Is there anything wrong with what Pei said?" Pei Zhi saw that the two of them had not spoken, his expression was a little embarrassed, and he was cautious when he spoke.

Chen didn't know how to give Bai Min a look, meaning to let him decide. He knew that his brain for thinking about things was not as good as Bai Min's, and at this time he was very wise to listen to Bai Min.

"No, no." Bai Min put on a bright smile and said, "Can Min ask Brother Pei a few questions?" ”

"Huh?" Pei Zhi was a little confused, why did he suddenly want to ask a question? But he still smiled and said, "Brother Bai, it's okay to ask." ”

"Does Brother Pei know that Han Shoufu's daughter, that is, Han Yuning, and Miss Han was arrested yesterday?" When Bai Min asked, he stared at Pei Zhi's face, paying attention to the change in his expression.

"Huh?" A look of surprise appeared on Pei Zhi's face, but he was not pretentious, "Is this true?" He looked at Chen Buyi.

"It's true." Chen nodded and said.

Hearing this, Pei Zhi said to Chen Zhizhi and Bai Min with apologies: "This happened to the boundary of Xijing, Uncle Chen and Brother Zhizhi must be very anxious, how can they have the time to go to the banquet, I am reckless, Pei Zhi is sorry here, if it is useful to Pei Zhi, the two of them will command." ”

"It's okay, someone found it." Bai Min saw that Pei Zhi's expression was sincere, and believed him for seven points.

Hearing this, Pei Zhi's expression also improved, and he said softly: "That's good, that's good." ”

"When did Master Pei ask Brother Pei to come to us? Are there any details when you say it? It can be said in detail. Bai Min asked again.

"Not long ago, I was thinking about it behind closed doors in the study at home, and my father suddenly asked me to invite the two of them to come to the house, I was already sorry to Brother Bai, and I couldn't say it at the banquet that day, and I wanted to ask for guilt in person after the grounding, but now I have the opportunity in advance, and I am happy." Pei Zhi thought for a while, and then said: "At that time, my father's face didn't seem to be very good? Serious? Pei Zhi is not sure, Pei Zongmin is usually moody, he can't see it.

Just in the afternoon? It happened to be the day when Uncle Chen went to the capital? Sure enough, there was a problem, Bai Min thought. Serious? Nervous about things being revealed? Or is it something else? Anyway, Uncle Chen said don't worry about it, there must be no problem for us to stay in the Chen Mansion.

"Thank you Brother Pei, and please tell Master Pei that the two of us still have some things, so I won't go today, I'm really sorry." Bai Min said.

"Yes, Bai Min and I have something to do in the afternoon." Chen didn't know how to agree.

Although Pei Zhi was a little simple and had no scheming, he was not a fool, knowing that the two of them were making excuses to refuse, and he didn't want to say anything, so he said a few polite words and left with some regret.

"Lao Bai, what do you think?" Chen Zhizhi looked at Pei Zhi's departing figure and asked.

"Pei Zhi is probably a stupid son, and his father Pei Zongmin probably doesn't have a good heart." Bai Min thought for a moment and replied.

"Well, I think the same as you, don't go out for the next few days, so as not to cause trouble for my father." Chen Buyi nodded, his expression rarely serious.

Bai Min looked at Chen Buzhi in some surprise.

……

Pei Mansion, Pei Zongmin sometimes sat in his seat, and sometimes got up and wandered around the house, looking very eager.

Hearing footsteps outside the house, Pei Zongmin hurriedly walked out of the door, and when he saw that his son was back, he hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Are Chen Buzhi and Bai Min coming?" ”

Pei Zhi's expression was a little depressed, and when he heard his father ask, he said, "I don't know why, they rejected me, maybe Brother Bai hasn't forgiven me yet." ”

"Refused." Pei Zongmin's mouth opened slightly, his pupils dilated, and his eyes were short-term hollow, and then he burst out again, took a chair for Pei Zhi, and said, "Tell me about the process and my father." ”

"I apologized to Brother Bai Min at first, and Brother Bai Min accepted it." Pei Zhi sat down and began to come together one by one, "Later, I went to invite them for my father, and Brother Bai Min asked me a few strange questions, and then refused, which is really confusing. ”

"What strange questions? Hurry up and elaborate. Pei Zongmin's voice became more and more urgent,

"Uh......" Pei Zhi was taken aback by his father's urgent tone, and then said, "They asked me if I knew that Han Yuning was tied up?" Also ask me when you asked me to invite them. By the way, father, do you know that Han Yuning was kidnapped? ”

"Alright, don't ask, let's get out." Pei Zongmin waved his hand and let Pei Zhi out.

Pei Zhi had ten thousand question marks in his heart, but since his father had a life, he had to quit the house.

"Asked Zhi'er if he knew about Han Yuning, did Chen Qingfeng really doubt me? That's why he got to Beijing? After Pei Zhi left, Pei Zongmin sat on the chair with a blank expression, bowed his head and muttered to himself, raised the teacup on the table nearby, drank a large sip of tea, and spit out the hot tea.

"Ah......" Pei Zongmin was a little painful, put down the teacup, and continued to whisper: "Ask me when I invited, use this to deduce my purpose?" These two boys are a little scheming. Pei Zongmin sighed a little, why was his son so scheming. If Pei Zhi is a little scheming, he doesn't have to worry about him being exposed, and if he tells him the truth, maybe he can deceive Chen Buzhi and Bai Min.

……

Yuxing Tea House is a first-class tea house in Xijing.

On the stage, the storyteller impassionedly told the story of Emperor Gaozu's pacification of the barbarians in the north. In the audience, the listeners drank tea, sipped melon seeds, and applauded loudly for the wonderful plot from time to time.

"I saw my Emperor Gaozu, wearing golden armor, holding the sword of King Yue, and there seemed to be a real dragon surrounded by the top of his head, majestic and majestic, and he slashed towards the head of the barbarian leader with a sword!" The storyteller woke up and patted it, and stopped here. He had been speaking for an hour, and then he was going to rest for a while, ask the audience down for some money, and then go on again.

"Good! Good! The audience downstairs applauded.

"Good!" On the second floor, a handsome and uncast teenager stood up and applauded.

The second floor is specially prepared for important people in the teahouse, and they are all people with great status and status before they can go up to the second floor.

The table next to the boy was full of delicacies, including expensive dishes such as ginseng pigeon soup, Buddha jumping over the wall, and hairy crab, as well as ordinary delicacies such as braised beef, yellow stewed chicken, and Jiangnan fried rice.

On the other side of the table, the young man in white was a little helpless, and said quietly: "Which person who applauded loudly said that he couldn't go out before?" ”

The young man who got up to cheer looked a little embarrassed, but he recovered as usual in an instant, and responded with some uncertainty: "I think, listen to a book, it should, it should not be in the way!" ”

The two are Bai Min and Chen Buyi.

"Hey." Bai Min knew his friend's character, smiled, and started eating, no longer careless.

Since you can't stop Chen Zhizhi, you're here, so let's eat first.

After a while, the apprentice who went down to ask for a reward came back, raised the teacup himself, took a sip of tea, moistened his throat, put down the teacup in his hand, picked up Xingmu and was about to speak, but saw the shopkeeper of the teahouse leading a few people to come, with a smile on his face, and seemed to be an extremely important person. The storyteller put down his hand and thought that he would wait for the others to sit down before he began to speak.

"Hey, Lao Bai, look who that is!" Chen Zhizhi, who was originally looking downstairs, shouted to Bai Min who was eating.

"Who?" Bai Min looked up and asked.

"Pei Zongmin!" Chen Buzhi's tone was a little hurried.

It was Pei Zongmin who came.

"Master Pei, what are you doing here?" The shopkeeper of the teahouse smiled and asked behind Pei Zongmin.

"I heard that Chen Gongzi is here, and I want to come to visit him, the shopkeeper, don't mind." Pei Zongmin said as he walked.

"Don't mind, don't mind." The shopkeeper hurriedly replied.

"Where is Gongzi Chen?" Pei Zongmin asked.

"Upstairs, private room on the second floor! You come with me. The shopkeeper stepped forward and led the way.

"Knock knock!"

On the second floor, the room where Bai Min and Chen didn't know where they were was knocked out.

"What's the matter?" Chen asked.

"Gongzi Chen, Master Pei is here, I want to see you!" The shopkeeper shouted, his words very respectful.

"Which Pei-sama?" Chen was puzzled.

"Governor Pei, Lord Pei." The shopkeeper explained.

"Nope!" Chen Buzhi's voice was loud and decisive.

This was something they had discussed in advance, and when they wanted to come, they just didn't see it, and Pei Zongmin couldn't force it.

The shopkeeper of "......" looked at Pei Zongmin, a little at a loss.

"Chen Gongzi, let's meet you!" The dignified governor was rejected by a teenager, and Pei Zongmin's face was not angry, but looked very kind.

"Say what you're going to say outside." Chen didn't know how to shout.

Of course, it is impossible for Pei Zongmin to say it outside, there are so many people outside, and talking about Han Yuning's affairs outside is tantamount to looking for death.

"Since Gongzi Chen doesn't give face, then Pei can only break in!" Pei Zongmin gave the entourage behind him a look, soft is not good, he plans to use hard ones.

When the shopkeeper heard this, he was already worried and panicked, his teahouse was going to have an accident today! But he didn't dare to stop that Master Pei, so he could only look at it worriedly from the side.

The entourage behind him was about to forcibly open the door, but he saw a guest downstairs get up, jumped on the table, kicked a few steps in the air, and appeared in front of everyone, blocking the way for the entourage to open the door.

The man was mediocre in appearance and dressed ordinarily, but Pei Zongmin felt that he had seen it somewhere.

"You were the servant who received me in the Chen Mansion that day?" Pei Zongmin thought for a while before he said.

The man didn't speak, just nodded.

"There are a lot of masters hidden in the Chen Mansion." Pei Zongmin sighed, looked at a burly man behind him, and asked, "Are you confident?" ”

The man shook his head and said, "I can't see through him, at least he is at the peak of his cultivation, and he can't beat him." ”

Chen Buzhi, who was outside the house, was already a little panicked when he heard that Pei Zongmin was planning to break in, but seeing that Bai Min was still calm and relaxed, he inevitably had doubts in his heart, and then heard the conversation outside the house, looked at Bai Min, and said in surprise: "You already knew?" ”

Bai Min nodded.

Chen Zhizhi was both a little happy and a little desperate: "So my father has always had eyeliner by my side?" ”

Bai Min nodded again, and then corrected: "That's to protect you." ”

"It's over." It was clear that Pei Zongmin couldn't break in, but Chen Zhizhi's eyes became even more desperate.

Pei Zongmin, who was outside the house, looked at the guards of the Chen Mansion in front of him, and said lightly: "You can stop me from entering the house, but you can't stop Chen from coming out." ”

"The young master won't come out." The guard didn't have any expression when he spoke, "With me here, even if the young master comes out, you can't catch him." ”

Pei Zongmin saw that what he thought was said, and his calm expression finally became a little embarrassed. After Han Yuning's affair was revealed, Pei Zongmin knew that he couldn't escape, so he thought of using Chen Zhifu to blackmail Chen Qingfeng, not seeking to keep his official position, but only to allow himself to escape to the border safely and avoid death.

Da Yue has a special set of criminal laws for officials, and officials who violate the law will be punished twice, although the officials who are responsible for punishment on weekdays know that they will not really implement it like this, but if Han Shoufu takes advantage of the topic to play at that time, Pei Zongmin will be completely finished.

Pei Zongmin looked at the entourage he brought, the highest was only the fateful realm, and then looked at the Chen Mansion guards opposite, knowing that what he said was the truth, and he couldn't take Chen Buzhi away now.

Pei Zongmin's subordinates were not monks who did not ask the Dao realm, but he couldn't guarantee that person's loyalty to him, so he didn't bring them, and all he brought were those dead soldiers who were willing to go to the soup for him.

Pei Zongmin was in a dilemma for a while, and then his heart moved, and he shouted into the house: "Does Gongzi Chen still remember what your ancestor said? ”

Chen didn't know that he didn't answer, and the best solution was not to talk about it at this time.

Pei Zongmin saw that Chen didn't know how to reply, and he didn't care, and continued to shout: "The ancestor of the Chen family once said that the Chen family is the first family in Xijing, and the younger generations of the Chen family are willing to accept the challenge of all their peers in Xijing to prove that the Chen family deserves it. ”

What he said was the truth, the ancestor of the Chen family did say so, and Chen didn't know about it, so his face was not very good now.

"In this case, I have a doorman, twenty years old, a cultivator in the stargazing realm, and a native of Xijing, I don't know if Chen Gongzi dares to fight!" Pei Zongmin deliberately shouted loudly, so that the entire teahouse could hear it.

Now it's Chen Zhi's turn to be in a dilemma, accept it, he and that person are very likely to have an accident, and if he doesn't accept it, the reputation of the Chen family will inevitably be damaged.

No member of the Chen family would allow the Chen family's reputation to be tarnished in Xijing.
