As soon as Pei Zheng's voice came out, the footsteps outside the courtyard instantly became very urgent, and the two figures rushed into the lobby first, bringing a gust of wind, followed by seven or eight people.

Li Yuan rushed in and saw Wen Feng lying unconscious on the ground, and Pei Zheng, who was squatting there with a flustered expression, his pupils couldn't help shrinking, and his body was stunned on the spot.

The housekeeper Li He was obviously much more sophisticated, and without saying a word, he rushed up, and a thin palm fell on Pei Zheng.

Pei Zheng only felt numb all over his body, and the whole person suddenly floated up, and was thrown three meters away, and a special aura filled his body, which made him unable to move for a while.

Li He squatted next to Wen Feng's corpse, examined it carefully, and shook his head at Li Yuan: "The person has lost the breath of life, and his body has residual warmth, and he has just died, and his seven orifices are bleeding, which is suspected to be poisoning." ”

Li Yuan's face changed slightly when he heard this, remembering that Li He had just told him that Luo Ning and Lin Xing left in a hurry during the banquet, he immediately understood a lot, became angry, gritted his teeth and said, "Someone wants to trap my Li family in an unrighteous place." ”

Li He got up and bowed to Li Yuan: "The prince of the grassland and the waiter of the Ministry of Rites died in the Li family, the matter is serious, the prince should immediately send someone to Chang'an to inform the master, if it is late, there will be changes, and I hope that the prince will adopt it." ”

Li Yuan felt that what Li He said was reasonable, and turned sideways to the others standing in the lobby and said, "Didn't you hear what the second butler said?

The two clever ones hurriedly stood up and replied, "The little ones will be arranged." ”

Li He added: "Set off in three teams in secret, so as not to be intercepted by the enemy hiding in the shadows." ”

The two nodded and quickly left.

Li Yuan forced himself to calm down, his eyes swept over the faces of the Li family, and asked, "What should I do next?"

A tall, thin servant with an obscene face glanced at Pei Zheng not far away: "Childe, there is a living mouth there." ”

Li Yuan didn't even glance at Pei Zheng, and his mood was slightly heavy: "Pull it down and torture it strictly, within an hour, my son will know everything that happened in the side courtyard." ”

"In any case, the suspicion that the Li family plotted to kill the court officials must be cleared, otherwise the Li family is in danger. ”

The tall and thin servant got the order, and a cruel smile appeared on his face, and he walked towards Pei Zheng.

Pei Zheng, who felt that the crisis was coming, hurriedly said: "Li Gongzi is slow, I want to talk to you privately if I have something to say." ”

Li Yuan sneered when he heard this: "A mere team leader, an ant-like character, what qualifications do you have to talk to this son in private?"

Pei Zheng sneered: "Is the heir of the Li family already hopelessly stupid? A catastrophe is coming, and the whole clan may be wiped out at any time, and he is still holding a shelf, I really don't know whether to live or die." ”

A lowly military leader dared to be so presumptuous, Li Yuan was almost mad, and said angrily: "Bastard, dare to look down on this son, Li He, palm your mouth." ”

Pei Zheng said with a disdainful face: "Come on, you'd better kill the master directly, there are thousands of people from the Li family to accompany the funeral, and the master will not lose." ”

Li Yuan smiled angrily and said: "Dare to be hard-mouthed, Li He, beat my son to death until he is served." ”

Li He, who realized the seriousness of the matter, did not act rashly, but persuaded in a low voice: "Childe, the old slave looks at what he said, it doesn't look like he is pretending, why don't you listen to what he has to say first, and then decide how to deal with him?"

"If what he said is really useful, compared to the safety of the Li family, what if he is let go?"

Li Yuan's expression flickered a little, and the cultivation of the children of the family finally made him endure the breath in his heart, and waved his hand and said: "The second housekeeper stays, and the others retreat outside the courtyard and are not allowed to approach." ”

Li He suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, looked at Pei Zheng with a smile on his face and asked, "Little brother, your surname?"

Pei Zheng waited for the others to walk away before he replied slowly: "The surname of the Emperor is Pei, the Pei of the Sword Saint Pei Bai, and the Pei of the Pei clan in Hedong." ”

Li Yuan's face changed when he heard this: "Hedong Pei family?"

Pei Zheng asked rhetorically: "Is it not clear enough to say below?"

Li He motioned for Li Yuan to be calm for a while, and asked, "Do you have a certificate?"

Pei Zheng said angrily: "Can you let me go first?"

Li He looked at Li Yuan, saw him nodding, stepped forward and patted Pei Zheng a few times.

Pei Zheng stretched his muscles and bones, endured the discomfort somewhere in his body, took out a jade pendant from his arms, and handed it over.

Li He took it and looked at it carefully, returned it to Pei Zheng, and nodded at Li Yuan: "It's true, the Pei family is qualified to wear it." ”

Of course it's true, this jade pendant was secretly hidden by Pei Zheng's grandfather when he was expelled from the Pei family, and the old man also hoped that one day he would be able to return to the Pei family and take back everything that belonged to him.

Knowing that Pei was a member of the family, Li Yuan immediately put away his arrogance, and said in a gentle tone: "It turned out to be the younger brother of the Pei family, the younger brother was rude, I don't know which room the younger brother is from the Pei family, maybe you and I are still in-laws." ”

Pei Zhengyu was not shocked and said: "I can't hide it, I am a disciple who was expelled from the Pei family." ”

Li Yuan suddenly couldn't pull his face: "You, a person who was expelled from the Pei family, dare to borrow the name of the Pei family?"

Pei Zheng frowned slightly and said: "Brother Mo is not confused, which family has not been expelled from the disciple of the family?

Li Yuan's face showed a sudden expression: "It turns out that the younger brother is the secret son of the Pei family. ”

No wonder the other party had to ask him to order others to step down, of course, too many people couldn't know the identity of the shadow.

Pei Zheng said casually: "If it weren't for the shadows, he would have reached the weak crown under him, how could the position be just a small team?

Li Yuan sighed: "The disciples of the lineage are thrown out to be shadows, and the Pei family is so generous." ”

Pei Zheng smiled lightly, the identity authentication was successful, and the first step of the plan was successfully completed.

At this moment, Li Yuan's attitude had changed dramatically, and he asked in a slightly respectful tone: "Brother Shi just said that the Li family is in trouble, I don't know what the basis is?"

Pei Zheng pointed to Wen Feng's corpse on the ground and asked, "Brother Shi, do you know how he died?"

Li Yuan's expression was a little strange: "Wasn't he poisoned?"

Pei Zheng said loudly: "It is true that he was poisoned to death, but the poison was caused by himself." ”

Li Yuan was angry when he heard this: "This old man is simply crazy, isn't it good to live? ”

Li He took advantage of the situation and asked, "Does Pei Gongzi know why he poisoned himself to death?"

Pei Zheng glanced at him: "Of course it's for the Li family." ”

Li He bowed and said, "I want to hear about it." ”

Pei Zheng looked at the two of them with a smile and said, "Previously, the mission encountered many ambushes on the road, and Wen Feng suspected that the main messenger behind the scenes was the Li family. ”

"Now that the dead prince of the grassland is a fake, if the Li family wants to clear their name, they can only pray that the real prince will return to Chang'an safe and sound, otherwise the court will investigate it, and the Li family may be in a bad situation. ”

Li He was slightly puzzled: "According to Pei Gongzi, Wen Feng doesn't seem to have the need to poison himself?"

Pei Zheng asked rhetorically, "Why is it not necessary? If he gets an order from a certain adult, he must frame the Li family?"

Li Yuan interjected: "Whose order can make the servants of the Ministry of Rites not want their lives?"

Li He's color changed suddenly, and he lost his voice: "Childe, quickly send someone to tell Master Pei Gongzi's guess, if what Pei Gongzi said is true, the Li family may face a big disaster this time." ”

Although Li Yuan didn't figure out the situation for a while, it didn't prevent him from realizing the seriousness of the matter, and said: "Second housekeeper, you can arrange it, my father has explained, if there is a major incident, your opinion will be the main thing." ”

Li He was shocked into a cold sweat behind his back, and said with a dry mouth: "Whether it's true or not, Pei Gongzi's kindness, he will repay the Li family in the future." ”

Pei Zheng smiled slightly, won the trust of the Li family, and made the Li family believe what he said, and the second step of the plan was successfully completed.

"The Pei and Li families have been in-laws for generations, how can they sit idly by and watch the Li family suffer and be indifferent?"

"Besides, it's also for himself, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites died unexpectedly, and as a survivor below, he will inevitably be interrogated. ”

"Although it is nothing to receive some punishments, but to be punished for no reason, I always feel unhappy in my heart, and of course I have to tell you directly. ”
