"Ahem, ahem."

Amid the coughing, the smoke was also rising, and Pei Changtian, who had changed his surname, was personally taking care of the medicine stove.

When the heat was almost ready, the liquid in the jar was poured into two small bowls and placed on a square table in the room to cool.

This is a mansion in Luling County, the yard is not large, but it is very neatly tied, and there are some vegetables planted on the edge.

After cleaning up the medicine stove, Pei Changtian scooped a basin of hot water from the kitchen, returned to the big house and went to the inner hall, where there was a sick person on a big bed.

The patient on the bed looked very old, his eyes closed and not moving, as if he was in a coma more than sleeping.

Pei Changtian unbuttoned the patient's shirt and wiped the patient's body little by little with a hot cloth towel wrung with water in the basin, from the face to the hands, from the chest to the back, from the arms to the armpits, and even some private places were cleaned little by little.

During this period, Pei Changtian occasionally couldn't help coughing twice, but tried to maintain restraint.

After the cleaning was completed, Pei Changtian came out with a basin of turbid water, the medicine bowl on the table was still steaming, and there was already the sound of footsteps in the courtyard.

"Childe!" "Childe, we're here!"

"Childe!"

"A few uncles and elders, please come in quickly!"

Pei Changtian had a smile on his face, and as he spoke, he poured the water from the wooden basin and welcomed the next few people into the hall.

"Let's take a look at the helper first!" "yes, I haven't seen you in a long time!"

"Dad is still like that, he has more time in a coma and less time in his wake"

A few people went into the inner room to see the people on the bed, and then went outside together, and after a while, five people, including Pei Changtian himself, sat down around the eight-person square table.

"Childe, tell me, what's the matter with calling us?" "Yes, Childe, you say, let's listen!"

After talking about some family things, Pei Changtian also said some things in his heart.

The heat in the medicine bowl snaked upward, like the ups and downs of the crowd.

"Childe, you mean you want to get in touch with the imperial court?"

"Ahem."

Pei Changtian covered his mouth and coughed softly, shaking his head with a smile.

"It's not exact, but it's fair to say."

"But we are the prisoners of the imperial court, what reason do we have to do this? If the identity is discovered, it will invite the disaster of killing, and the comfort of these years will no longer exist. ”

"Yes, Childe, we know that you are resourceful, but this, this"

The old man surnamed Yu gently patted the table, making everyone quiet, and he looked at Pei Changtian, who was always calm except for the occasional cough.

"Childe, you can say what you didn't say, to be honest, even if you want to contact the imperial court, then Lord Chu is not qualified!"

Pei Changtian couldn't help coughing and smiled.

"It seems like that's the case, so who is qualified?"

"Zou Jie, the governor of the Northwest Metropolis, this person can speak well in both military and political affairs, and his high position and power have won the trust of the emperor, and if you want to contact him, you will also contact him!"

Pei Changtian's smile did not change, and he nodded.

"Indeed, Governor Zou is weighty enough, but"

Pei Changtian pointed his finger at his nose and said.

"In the eyes of Governor Zou, what are we? What qualifications do you have to appear before him? ”

"What kind of person is he, whether he can listen to the words, we don't know the details, the commander in the army has thousands of troops and horses, we are afraid that no one will see it, and we will be surrounded and killed by the military array!"

Pei Changtian shook his head slightly.

"I still don't think too much of myself, and don't look down on Lord Chu too much, I chatted with him for a while, he is an official here but has no sense of decadence, and there is an extraordinary heart hidden in his conversation, with the ability of the current emperor, it is impossible to waste such talents, he must do great things, either in the northwest or elsewhere."

"But he can make the court let us go?"

Pei Changtian coughed lightly.

"I still say what I said back then, we are not qualified to make the court hold a grudge, but we are just victims of being involved in the salt case."

At this moment, Pei Changtian's heart was re-energized by the desire that had been suppressed for many years, in fact, he was a little excited in his heart, but he was unhurried on his face, he wanted to persuade these elders.

So Pei Changtian patiently continued.

"Maybe you have forgotten what I said back then, but now there is no fulfillment, more than ten years ago, Wuzhou officials were corrupted, in fact, this is a microcosm of the entire Dayong, the emperor needs to use thunder to deter the world, back then it was to kill chickens and set an example for monkeys."

In other words, in the eyes of the emperor, it doesn't matter whether we die or not, as long as his goal is achieved, he doesn't know that we are involved in corrupt officials? He knows."

Some of these words were said back then, and some of them are only now understood.

With Pei Changtian's narration, the people at the table were angry and a little helpless.

"Actually, we have been free all these years, if your uncles and family members don't want to be involved, the younger generations can understand, and after making a decision, we won't contact each other anymore!"

As soon as Pei Changtian said this, several people around him were shocked.

"Childe."" Childe you"

Pei Changtian coughed a few times and said seriously.

"I Pei Changtian can't guarantee anything else, but if I really make a mistake, I will never affect you, in fact, I don't want everyone to be involved, so that someone can take my father away and let me."

At this point, Pei Changtian interrupted his words with a "bang" in the inner room, and he immediately got up and rushed inside, and the rest of the people also quickly followed.

"Daddy! How's that for you, Dad? ”

Pei Changtian rushed to the back room, the person on the bed had already fallen under the bed, and when he saw his son coming to help, the old man grabbed his arm.

"Helper?" "Helper!" "Are you awake?"

"Great, the helper has finally woken up!"

With beads of sweat on his face, the old man looked up at the old brothers, and finally at his son.

"Oh my God. Actually, Dad."

"Dad, you don't need to say much, you don't need to persuade much, my son doesn't want to live in the shadows for the rest of his life."

"Oh my God."

The old gang leader had tears in his eyes, and Pei Changtian always had a smile, but his eyes were somewhat sparkling, in fact, he knew that his father would pretend to be unconscious many times, especially when he helped wipe his body.

"Dad's momentary mistake hurt your life, Dad, Dad, Dad believes in you, please give face to all old brothers Pei, and then believe in Tian'er cough cough cough"

"Helper, you're serious!" "Help, get up!"

"Daddy! You must not force Uncle in this matter, you should take a rest first! Uncle Yan, help me bring the medicine. ”

"Alas!"

Appeased, drank medicine, and settled the patient again, and several people inevitably returned to the previous heavy topic, but after this heaviness, Pei Changtian's words also became relaxed.

Chu Hang is not a big figure in the court after all, and Pei Changtian can't directly reveal the identity of the "remnants of the Sky Whale Gang", so naturally he is slowly contacted, if he can't do anything, of course, there is room to retreat.

With Pei Changtian's three-inch incorruptible tongue, it was obvious that several people were moved, and the two former hall masters, Yu and Yan, expressed their following.

Soon everyone had dispersed, leaving Pei Changtian alone in the hall, he looked outside the room and looked at the medicine bowl on the table, coughed slightly, and then picked up the medicine bowl and drank the medicine little by little.

Pei Changtian was not in a hurry to swallow it, but felt the churning bitter taste.

After so many years, he has also taken many people to escape from danger, but his martial arts are obviously good, but his health is getting worse

Maybe he treated many people as outcasts back then, maybe he calculated too many people for the golden cicada to get out of his shell, maybe this was his own retribution, maybe he would wither his life in the year of fighting

But I'm so unwilling! I'm so unwilling!

I could have shown my strengths, I could have made a name for myself, I could have been at ease, I was full of ambitions, even if it was the place of the imperial examination, I couldn't have been named on the gold list!

Yuezhou Martial Arts Conference, this martial arts event that I personally promoted, I also want to go, I also want to be on stage for a while The heroes of the world!

"Cluck, la, la."

Pei Changtian pressed the table with one hand and pinched the bowl with the other.

"Click~"

The porcelain bowl was directly crushed into a hole.

"Ho"

Over the years, no matter how many people in the Sky Whale Gang are unwilling, no one's unwillingness is as big as Pei Changtian.

It's just that sometimes it's flustered, or unwilling, Pei Changtian never shows it, he always looks calm and calm!

People like Pei Changtian saw a series of things such as the Wuzhou salt case very clearly, even some things that could not be seen clearly back then, but after so many years, they gradually became clear.

Being an upright person and changing his surname to the sun is not hopeless, what is lacking is opportunity!

"Ho, ho, ho"

Pei Changtian let go of his hand and put the broken pieces of the porcelain bowl on the table, and on the other hand, a palm print had fallen silently on the wooden table.

Chu Hang was by no means "assigned" by the emperor, he had only heard a short chatter once, and Pei Changtian had this firm idea in his heart.

Today's Dayong Tianzi is a rare Ming monarch in all dynasties, and he must have a deep meaning in sending Chu Hang here, even if it is just to exercise, it is also a springboard for the future.

Chu Hang lacks manpower and eyeliner here, which can be regarded as a smear of two eyes, and it is also the beginning of his official career.

If the emperor has a deep meaning, what is Chu Hang going to do? If it's just a springboard, how can he make political achievements?

Pei Changtian didn't think about it before, but now he can't help but think about it from a perspective that is relatively close to Chu Hang, jumping away from the locality, jumping away from Luling County, and even jumping away from Beicang Prefecture.

Pei Changtian's eyes gradually lit up, he didn't know the way to be an official, and he probably didn't understand the plans of the imperial court, but because he needed to use all means to survive over the years, he understood the market, the rivers and lakes, and the intricate environment and situation in the northwest.
