Chapter 29 How to Respond?
The atmosphere in the lobby was a little dull, although Pei Zheng's frank confession made Li Yuan and Li He feel at ease, and they would not be at a loss because they couldn't figure out what was going on, but it couldn't bring much help to the Li family who were in deep trouble.
Li He pondered for a long time and asked tentatively: "Pei Gongzi thinks that the Li family should deal with it?"
Pei Zheng thought for a moment, shook his head and refused: "I don't know much about the specific situation of the Li family, so I'm afraid I can't give too good advice." ”
Facing Li He's question, Pei Zheng actually had a prepared answer, but he couldn't figure out what the Li family was thinking now for a while, and out of prudence, he naturally wouldn't pick it up.
After all, Pei Zheng's identity is the secret son of the Pei family, not the secret son of the Li family, and he is not qualified or necessary to think about how to deal with it for the Li family.
What's more, people are usually a bit cheap, and they often don't know how to cherish things that are easy to get.
Pei Zheng didn't want to prepare a carefully prepared response, not only did he not get the Li family's gratitude, but he was suspected of bad intentions.
Li He seemed to ask casually, not really expecting Pei Zheng to give any good advice, so he no longer insisted, and said politely: "What Pei Gongzi said is extremely true, and it is abrupt. ”
"After this change, and it's getting late, Pei Gongzi must be a little tired, why don't you let someone take you back to the wing room to rest first?"
Pei Zheng hurriedly waved his hand and said: "Steward Li doesn't have to be so polite, I bother you to arrange for someone to find a firewood house and put it in Xiaguan until the imperial court's investigation of this case arrives." ”
"Tomorrow, I will send pen, ink, paper and inkstone to the firewood room, and I will carefully write down what happened tonight. ”
Li Yuan was slightly unhappy when he heard this: "Brother Shi, is this planning to stay out of the matter and find ways to get himself out of it?"
Pei Zheng's expression was calm, and he looked as a matter of course: "So that the world brother knows that it is the secret son of the Pei family, not the secret son of the Li family, this time it is the in-laws of the Pei and Li families for generations, and they do not hesitate to expose their identities to deliver news to the Li family, which is already benevolent and righteous." ”
"Could it be that the Li family is in decline, and the Pei family needs to solve the trouble for the Li family?"
In the last sentence, Pei Zheng said very bluntly and very politely, without worrying that he would anger Li Yuan, and proved his identity as the secret son of the Pei family from the side without a trace.
After all, if it weren't for the Pei family's descendants, how could ordinary people dare to be so presumptuous in front of the Li family's sons?
Li Yuan, who was slapped in the face, suddenly turned a little ugly, and said in a strange manner: "The self-protection ability shown by the younger brother really makes the younger brother admire, no wonder he can be selected as a shadow." ”
In and out of the words, he ridiculed Pei Zheng for being timid and afraid.
Pei Zheng looked calm: "It's better than the meaninglessness of death, don't disturb the two of you to discuss how to solve the trouble in front of you, and say goodbye." ”
After speaking, he walked out slowly.
Walking out of the door of the lobby, Pei Zheng, who was still not stopped by Li Yuan and Li He, couldn't help but curse secretly, two stupid people, Uncle Ben is such a good savior, don't you know how to catch it?
It seems a bit like his wish has come true, Pei Zheng just had this idea in his mind, and suddenly his eyes were dazzled, and Li He blocked in front of him,
Pei Zheng frowned just right, turned around and asked, "What does this mean, brother?"
But seeing Li Yuan put down the shelf of the children of the family, he arched his hand at Pei Zheng and said: "Little brother implores the younger brother to once again give some suggestions for dealing with the friendship between Pei and Li's two families." ”
Pei Zheng still frowned: "This is not appropriate." ”
An undoubted look appeared on Li Yuan's face: "Whether it is suitable or not, you don't need to worry about the younger brother, the younger brother just has to say what he thinks, just treat the younger brother as if he owes the younger brother a favor, and he will repay it one day." ”
Pei Zheng looked at Li He, who was blocking his eyes like an iron wall, and smiled self-deprecatingly: "Look at this, if you don't say something, it seems that the world brother will not let go easily?"
Li Yuan pretended to be apologetic and said: "Since the younger brother has been involved, how can you easily stay out of the matter? ”
If you don't help the Li family, will you be dragged into the water by the Li family?
An inexplicable smile appeared on Pei Zheng's face, in the end, he was a trained child of a family, and even threats could be said so freshly and refinedly.
"If I were the brother, I would immediately arrange for someone to kill all the people who were in charge of preparing the dinner, and fake the illusion that two of them had absconded. ”
Then he declared to the outside that there were people within the Li family who colluded with outsiders, and they should poison and kill the waiter of the Ministry of Rites and the prince of the grassland, and then track down the murderer with great fanfare. ”
"Find someone to check if there are evil masters on the rivers and lakes who are good at poison and can't see the end of the dragon, Jiang Yang and the like, secretly send a force to detain the suspicion on his head. ”
"The reason can be that he has a grudge against the Li family, or he doesn't want to see the Hu people join Great Xia, just decide to make it seem reasonable to outsiders. ”
"Finally, and the most critical step, send someone to report to the official and even to the imperial court, stating that the Li family is negligent and bears unshirkable responsibility, and asks the imperial court to lower the punishment. ”
Li Yuan's expression was a little gloomy: "According to what Brother Shidi said, wouldn't you not admit yourself?"
Pei Zheng said indifferently: "This is not called not self-confession, this is called avoiding the important and light, it is an indisputable fact that Wen Feng and the fake son died in the Li family, even if they are willing to distort the facts for the Li family, will Jinzhou assassinate Shi Luo Ning and Zhonglang Lin Xingken?"
"What the Li family has to do is never to completely get rid of responsibility, but to find a way to reduce losses. If the world brother has no consciousness at all, he will say everything in the next word. ”
"Of course, if the Li family has a better way, they should not say anything below, what's the matter, can the world brother go down and rest?"
Li Yuan thought for a moment, and arched his hand towards Pei Zheng again: "What the younger brother said, the junior brother wrote it down, and the second housekeeper arranged for someone to send the younger brother to the wing room to rest." ”
Pei Zheng frowned slightly and corrected: "It's a firewood room." ”
Li Yuan chuckled and said, "There are many mansions in the Li Mansion, and the number of side rooms is far more than that of firewood houses. Besides, Qin Cha will not suspect that the younger brother and the Li family colluded to poison just because the place where he was detained was better, and he talked about evidence in everything, right?"
Pei Zheng thought for a moment, nodded reluctantly: "Then according to what Brother Shi said, by the way, Brother Shi should not forget to arrange someone to search my body, well, to be precise, please treat me as a suspect, and it is okay to use some means." ”
Li Yuan smiled and did not respond, but shouted to the outside: "Come on, escort this person into the east wing, guard it day and night, there must be no mistake." ”
The people who retreated to the outside of the hospital immediately rushed in two and escorted Pei Zheng away.
Li Yuan slowly walked in front of Li He and said with a little worry: "According to what the second housekeeper has seen, will this secret son of the Pei family be the one who poisoned him?"
Li He thought for a while, shook his head and said: "The Pei family has inserted the secret son of the descendant into the border army, and the plan is not small, and it stands to reason that it will not be used too early." ”
"Besides, the Pei and Li families have been in-laws for generations, one is in Longyou and the other is in Hedong, and there is no conflict of interest, so it is unlikely that he will poison the waiter of the Ministry of Rites in order to frame the Li family. ”
Therefore, the old slave thought that what the Pei family's secret son said was not much different from the facts. ”
Li Yuan couldn't deny it: "Has the second housekeeper ever thought that the identity of this person is a secret son of the Pei family?"
Li He categorically vetoed: "That piece of jade pendant is real, the old lady has one, and the old slave has seen her wipe it more than once." ”
"The Pei family is not a small family, and the jade pendant is extremely strictly controlled, and it is absolutely impossible for it to fall into the hands of outsiders. ”
"Besides, there is such a thing as identity that can't be concealed from someone with a heart, if it is faked, it can't stand scrutiny, this person doesn't seem to be an unwise person, how dare he offend the Pei and Li families at the same time?"
When Li Yuan heard this, his doubts disappeared, but another thought came up: "Can you push this matter onto the Pei family?"
Li He was surprised when he heard this: "Childe wants to use this person's identity as the secret son of the Pei family to cause trouble?"
Li Yuan nodded slightly: "Since the murderer can be the evil master Jiang Yang thief, why can't it be the Pei family?"
Li He said hurriedly when he heard this: "By all means, the son must know that the sword saint Pei Bai is still alive for a day, and the Pei family will be worry-free for a day." Childe's move not only could not save the Li family, but would only cause the Pei and Li families to turn against each other. ”
"Although the Pei and Li families are both top families in the world, I have to admit that the Pei family's momentum is slightly better than the Li family. ”
The old slave thinks that there is no need to have a bad relationship with the Pei family because of this trivial matter. Even if the Li family will suffer losses because of this incident, it will be much smaller than the losses of the Pei family. ”
"What's more, the Li family is killed, and the master can still ask the Sword Master for help......"
Li Yuan was really not interested in listening to Li He's tirade, so he hurriedly waved his hand and said, "My son knows." ”
