Chapter 36 to Chang'an

Pei Zheng's location is relatively empty, and if someone approaches, he can see it from afar.

What made Pei Zheng feel a little strange was that the people of Gong Weisi didn't seem to think about strictly guarding the people of the Li family.

He chatted with Li Yuan about this, but Gong Weisi didn't send anyone to stop it, but there was not even a person to supervise, and everyone didn't show up when they entered the post station, and they weren't worried that the people of the Li family would secretly escape.

Just as Pei Zheng was carefully checking whether there were people eavesdropping around, Li Yuan couldn't help but ask: "Your conditions have also been agreed to by my son, what about the strategy worth a thousand taels of silver?"

Pei Zheng beckoned to Li Yuan, and said in his ear: "If the abandoned son wants to get rid of the identity of the abandoned son, the easiest and most direct way is to make himself very important. ”

Li Yuan frowned slightly when he heard this, and said with some displeasure: "This kind of truth that even children understand, do you still need to remind this son?"

Pei Zheng smiled and said, "Then does Gongzi Li know how to make himself vital to the Li family?"

Li Yuan frowned slightly: "As a descendant of the Li family, this son is extremely talented in martial arts, and it is important for the Li family, but if it is very important, I am afraid it is still far behind." ”

"Don't sell it, let's be practical, you just tell Ben Gongzi what to do. ”

Pei Zheng replied with great seriousness: "Delay time." ”

Li Yuan was slightly stunned, looked at Pei Zheng and asked, "Why delay time?"

Pei Zheng replied with a straight face: "Wen Feng's death is familiar to people like you and me who have experienced it personally, but few people know about it. ”

"At this time, the Li family quickly cut through the mess and pushed you out as an outcast, plus if you deal with it properly, you will definitely be able to settle the matter in a short time. ”

"It's different to delay the time, when the matter ferments and the world knows about it, the Li family will face two problems if they want to throw you out as an outcast. ”

"One is that throwing you out is not enough to end this matter, in other words, those forces that have enmity with the Li family will seize this matter and want the Li family to pay a painful price. ”

"The second is that the fact that you are regarded as an outcast as a descendant of the Li family will make the Li family's reputation drop, let me ask the family that can easily give up even their own descendants, what will his side family think? What will his allies think?"

Li Yuan continued: "In this way, not only will this son not be regarded as an abandoned son of the Li family, but will become the object that the Li family must find a way to shelter?"

Pei Zheng showed a look of approval on his face: "That's right. ”

Li Yuan was not blindly optimistic, but said calmly: "It's not easy to make the world known, if you just delay time, it will take at least a month, do you think this son can delay for so long?"

Pei Zheng clapped his hands and said: "The head of the road knows the end, Li Gongzi is really brilliant and enlightened, if you want to know it all over the world, naturally there are few people who will help it." ”

"Li Gongzi will add another 1,000 taels, and find a way to facilitate this matter for you, I don't know what to do?"

Pei Zhengmeng did not increase the price, which made Li Yuan a little annoyed.

But what Pei Zheng said was clear-sighted, it was indeed like that, in order to save his life, Li Yuan could only hold it in his heart and said at a low price: "Five hundred taels." ”

Pei Zheng shook his head and said: "It costs a lot of silver to ask people to spread the news all over the world, and if it is only five hundred taels, it is estimated that it will lose a lot, one thousand taels, and there is no counter-offer." ”

"By the way, this matter must be done after I get a thousand taels of real money, verbal promises can't make those people called, Li Gongzi thought about where to get this silver in advance, so as not to plant it at a critical moment. ”

Li Yuan thought for a moment, shook his head and said, "You don't need to arrange it, you just need to send a message to the Chang'an Huangfu family for my son." ”

"Today's military squire Huangfu Gao is my grandfather, when I was a child, he loved me the most, you take this piece of jade pendant to find him, explain the reason for the matter, he will not stand idly by. ”

"But in this case, it shouldn't cost a thousand taels, right?"

To be honest, it's not that Li Yuan is reluctant to spend money, but that he is worried that Pei Zheng will not do anything after receiving the money, this kind of thing can't be said directly, as a child of a family, he still has this bit of the city.

Pei Zheng took the jade pendant and stuffed it into his arms casually: "If you just send a letter, of course you don't need so much as one thousand taels, and fifty taels is enough for running errands." ”

Fifty taels of errands? It's really a shame that you don't go to rob the house.

Li Yuan's cheeks twitched, and he replied decisively: "Okay." ”

"But ......"

Li Yuan deliberately lengthened his tone, and stopped talking again.

Pei Zheng continued: "But what?"

Li Yuan looked at Pei Zheng with burning eyes: "Although your strategy is good, where is it worth a thousand taels of silver? If you don't have a better way, I'm afraid that the thousand taels that this son promised before will have to be repented." ”

Pei Zheng chuckled: "Of course it's more than that, although this method is effective, it is not safe, for example, on the premise of ensuring that the interests of the Li family will not be damaged too seriously, the Li family can still treat you as an outcast, and pay an additional part of the price to end the matter." ”

"People are forgetful, and a temporary decline in wind reviews will not affect the overall situation of the Li family, or it will return to normal in a few years. ”

"What's more, the way to maintain the relationship is not only friendship, but also interests, as long as it is profitable, the Li family will never lack allies. ”

"And those forces that have enmity with the Li family, there is no need to have too high hopes, the Li family can stand, in addition to countless enemies, there must be countless allies. ”

Li Yuan listened a little impatiently and said: "My son knows better than you how much energy is behind the Li family, I don't need you to remind my son again, you continue to talk about your methods." ”

Pei Zheng looked around, confirmed that there was no one again, and said in a low voice: "It's very simple, drag the Li family into the water completely." ”

Li Yuan asked rhetorically: "Do you think that the Li family has not been dragged into the water yet?"

Pei Zheng shook his head: "Count, but it's far from enough." ”

"Then how do you completely drag it down?"

Li Yuan asked with some curiosity, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites was poisoned in the Li Mansion, and it is not considered that the Li family was dragged into the water, so how can it be counted?

Pei Zheng paused for a moment and said slowly: "For example, someone told the Great Xia Imperial Court that the Li family poisoned Wen Feng because of the order of the head of the family, and the Li family and the Hu people colluded in private, and the Li family tried to usurp the throne. ”

Li Yuan shuddered when he heard this, and asked tremblingly: "Someone you are talking about, it can't be this son, right?"

Pei Zheng asked rhetorically: "Except for you, who will believe others when they say it?" Gong Weisi or Your Majesty?"

Li Yuan's face was instantly gloomy like water, and he lowered his voice and said angrily: "You want to kill me? If I say these words, how can the Li family tolerate me?"

"Survive this catastrophe in this way, even if the imperial court orders the release of this son, when he returns to the Li family, he will immediately be beaten to death by executing the family law, do you believe it or not?"

Pei Zheng smiled and said: "Of course I believe it, but when these words are spread, who can prove that you said it? Can't it be Gong Weisi's tricks? Or is it simply a false testimony made by Gongweisi?"

"If these charges are implemented, it will be enough for the Li family to destroy the nine clans, who in the Li family will dare to give up on you? Who will dare to let Gong Weisi sit on this matter?"

"You outcast, naturally you can't do it. ”

Li Yuan said angrily: "But if this is messed up, it will harm the entire Li family, and this son will never do this." ”

Pei Zheng said disapprerovingly: "If you have the determination to drag everyone to die together, why worry about others treating you as an outcast?"

"In the next word, life is yours, whether you want to do it or not, Li Gongzi decides for himself. ”

Li Yuan stared at Pei Zheng deadly: "My son suspects that you are deliberately harming the Li family." ”

Pei Zheng stretched his waist and said: "It doesn't matter what I want to do, what matters is how Gongzi Li saves his life, the Li family, as the top family in Great Xia, can be harmed casually?"

"By the way, remind Li Gongzi, don't say those words that are unfavorable to the Li family at first, wait until Gong Weisi is tortured, firstly, Gongwei Si will think it is true, and second, the Li family will think that it is made up by Gongwei Si. ”

"Only in this way, no matter who wins or loses between Gong Weisi and the Li family, Li Gongzi can live in peace. ”

Li Yuan was still staring at Pei Zheng: "Why do you want to harm the Li family?"

Pei Zheng frowned slightly, nodded and left, looking too lazy to take care of him.

Li Yuan took a step forward and stopped Pei Zheng: "Make your words clear before leaving." ”

Pei Zheng rolled his eyes: "There is not much time for the lunch break, and I have to prepare food in Xia, I am really not in the mood to talk to you about this, if you feel that you are harming the Li family in Xia, you can do nothing before it happened." ”

"It's up to me to put forward the plan, it's up to you to use it, why is Li Gongzi so entangled?"

Li Yuan wanted to ask again, but Qiu Baihu's figure suddenly appeared in the distance, and his loud voice could be heard from afar.

"Your Excellency has an order, if you don't set off from time to time, you must enter Chang'an City before nightfall, what are you two still rubbing here?

Pei Zheng smiled and replied: "I'm going to go here, thank you for reminding me." ”

Seeing this, Li Yuan knew that he would never have the opportunity to chat alone with Pei Zheng again, and his mood was complicated.

......

In less than three moments, a group of people rode horses and galloped on the official road, and Qiu Baihu, who was in charge of opening the road in front, suddenly changed his face, and the whole person rushed forward and rolled down on the snow.

And the horse he was riding also fell to the ground, but he did not wake up.

"Phew~"

A series of stops rang out.

Zhou Qing rode his horse to Qiu Baihu and frowned slightly, "What's the matter?"

Qiu Baihu arched his hand and said: "Lord Huiyu, the horse that my subordinates are riding is unbearable and has died violently. ”

Zhou Qing was a little displeased and said, "Didn't the official ask you to check the horse you were riding before?

Qiu Baihu bowed his head and said, "Subordinates should die." ”

Zhou Qing waved his hand and said: "It's damn not, it's just that the official is in a hurry to rush back to Chang'an, your horse is gone, the official won't wait for you, wait for you to find the post station, and ride your own horse to catch up." ”

"I'm going to rush to Chang'an City before dark, got it?"

Qiu Baihu was relieved and said: "Obey orders." ”

After Zhou Qing finished speaking, he ordered the others, "Keep going." ”

When everyone heard this, they waved their horsewhips and sped forward.

Pei Zheng ran forward for a while, glanced back at Qiu Baihu who was standing there alone, and said silently: "This is just the beginning." ”

......

At the second moment, Zhou Qing showed a token and led everyone into Chang'an, the center of the Great Xia Empire.
