In the main hall of the front yard of Shen Mansion, Silent Cloud has returned and is chatting with Pei Yue.

The communication between the men was not as tense as Shen Danmo thought, and there was not even the slightest sense of competition. Pei Yue respectfully held the junior ceremony with a calm smile on his face.

After all, Shen Danmo only knew one side of him, which was probably the impression that he was eloquent and angry. In addition, in the correspondence between the two, Pei Yue had always been outspoken, so she knew Pei Yue in the movie is a bit like the kind of stupid young man who comes from a humble background but dares to face the powerful.

In fact, from the moment he met Silent Cloud, Pei Yue put away all his sharp edges and acted well as a well-behaved young man in front of his elders.

"Thank you for your hard work on this trip to the mountain. I have read the detailed story in the report from Xifu. It is not easy for you to make such a decision." After exchanging pleasantries, it was natural for Silent Cloud to choose to start the topic from this incident.

Pei Yue was slightly puzzled. He had made many decisions in the mountains. He didn't know which one the other party was referring to, so he bowed slightly and said, "Master Shen is ridiculous. I just did my duty."

Silent Cloud looked gentle and nodded: "Although the conflict between Chang Si and you is not a mortal enemy, his wife did put you in an extremely dangerous situation that day. To be fair, if it were me, I'm afraid I can't let go of my grudge. When I lead Nanying into an ambush of thieves, if you hesitate for a moment, even if it's just half an hour, Nanying will probably suffer heavy casualties. Can you ignore personal grudges and look at the overall situation? It’s very rare to deal with problems.”

He paused slightly and praised: "Even His Majesty praises you for your loyalty despite your young age. As long as you don't go astray, you will become a pillar of the country sooner or later."

Pei Yue thanked him humbly, and then drank tea to calm the surging waves in his heart.

Silent Cloud's words seemed very straightforward and simple, but they gave Pei Yue countless thoughts in a very short period of time.

This person is in charge of Taishitai Pavilion. It is not difficult to know the little actions of Chang Si's wife Qin at the birthday banquet of Pei Taijun. However, to say it directly like this is a bit inconsistent with his status. In Pei Yue's understanding, he can go as far as Such high-ranking bosses, especially the chief officials of this special yamen, all cherish their words like gold. They speak in a cloud, and they can't wait to turn dozens of corners. How can they be like Shen Moyun, who speaks everything without any hesitation? ?

Pei Yue held the tea cup and glanced at the middle-aged man on the main seat indifferently. What he saw was still the gentle and upright demeanor of the past.

The difference was that there was a little more appreciation in his eyes, as if what he just said came from his heart.

As for the last promise, if word spreads, Pei Yue, a name that many people already know, will be shocked again.

Emperor Jingkou said that he would be a pillar of talent, which was like giving him a golden body. As long as Pei Yue did not make mistakes, what would others dare to do to him?

Compared to the viscount, the emperor's compliment could be regarded as a more important unexpected surprise.

Pei Yue was immediately sure of one thing. At least for now, the emperor did not know his true identity.

So what about the middle-aged man in front of me?

Pei Yue put down his tea cup and said with a natural expression: "Actually, I didn't think too much at that time. I just felt that if the delay continued, the losses of the soldiers of the South Camp would increase, and the thieves were likely to escape early, so I suggested that Commander Li march on immediately."

Silent Cloud nodded and said: "This is why His Majesty admires you. An act without thinking is often more valuable than an aid after careful consideration. The former can better see a person's true intention."

It stands to reason that Pei Yue can take advantage of the situation to express his loyalty to the emperor in the deep palace. If he is shameless, he can directly hug Silent Cloud's lap. After all, the other party's attitude has been made very clear, and all he needs to do is write the word "support" on his face. superior.

But he did nothing, said nothing, just listened meekly.

This is the advantage of being young. When facing such a top boss, you can just pretend to be stupid if you don't want to express your stance.

Anyway, I can leave it to the younger generation.

Silent Cloud looked at him with great interest and changed the subject: "On the day of Mrs. Tai's birthday, I mentioned something to her. I wanted to take you with me and teach you some skills. If you are willing in the future, You can also go into Tai Pavilion to work."

Pei Yue immediately became alert.

After traveling through time and understanding his situation, Pei Yue thought clearly about several paths he could take: joining the army, taking the imperial examination, or doing business. The latter two were quickly rejected by him. As for finding a place to be a starving rice insect, It doesn't fit his character, and it's hard to make it happen because he's not in a good situation.

As for a special yamen like Taishitai Pavilion, he had never considered it at all.

Throughout the history books, how many people who served as officials in such places died well? The higher the position, the harder it is to protect oneself.

Although Silent Cloud has great power in the government and the public at this time, and even the princes of the royal family will treat him with courtesy when they see him, what about the future? It is not said that the new king needs to be cleansed when he succeeds to the throne. After all, Silent Cloud is older than the emperor. I only talk about the emperor. If you encounter any difficult problems in the future, what could be easier to gain the support of the courtiers than using Silent Cloud as a scapegoat?

This is a knife that breaks easily.

Back to the current question itself, why did Silent Cloud pay attention to itself half a year ago?

Pei Yue was a little grateful but shook his head firmly and said: "Master Shen is so kind to me, and I am so unworthy of it. Although I am still young, I am self-aware, and I am not qualified to serve in an important yamen such as Taige."

Silent Cloud didn't mind, just smiled and said: "Do you know why I do this?"

Pei Yue said: "Please show me, sir."

Silent Cloud sighed softly: "Actually, I only found out about your situation a few days before Mrs. Tai's birthday. I am usually busy with affairs, and a lot of information will be selected by my subordinates before being handed over to me. If not for those few days, I would search again According to the news from Dingguo Mansion, I didn’t know how difficult it was for you in the mansion. At that time, I planned to take you out of Dingguo Mansion, so that you could at least avoid torture."

Pei Yue said with emotion: "Although the past years were indeed not easy, I am fortunate to have the care of the elders. The younger generation can only be grateful."

Silent Cloud shook his head slightly and said: "What is this worth? At that time, I made this request to Mrs. Tai for another reason. You child is born with courage, and you will not change your mind even if you are tortured repeatedly. It can be seen that sooner or later you will Get ahead. At that time, how can you let go of the hatred in your heart? But after all, Pei Rong is your biological father. Will you embark on the path of patricide after you become successful? "

"Brother Yue, I really want to know what you think of your father?"

As he spoke these words, Pei Yue finally became certain of one thing.

Silent Cloud may have some guesses, but he definitely doesn't know the details.

What Gu Liang said before is still in my ears. Apart from Taijun Pei, there are two people in the world who can guess Pei Yue's life experience, and that is Pei Zhen's right-hand man, Mr. Xi and Shen Moyun.

Now, even though he was being probed by the other party with words, Pei Yue did not panic at all. He raised his head and looked directly into Silent Cloud's eyes, and said in a sincere tone: "Master Shen, this junior has taken the liberty to visit today because of this matter."

He took out a piece of paper from his sleeve.

Silent Cloud took it and took a look, his expression gradually became serious.

The paper records the transactions between Peirong's people and the bandits in the mountains. It is very detailed and can be said to be a mountain of ironclad evidence.

Late at night more than a month ago, Silent Cloud once told Shen Danmo that it was not difficult to teach Pei Rong a lesson, but without conclusive evidence, even His Majesty the Emperor would not easily touch the head of the Pei family.

After all, the Pei family's influence in the Daliang Army was unique. After all, Pei Yuan had only died fourteen years ago and Pei Zhen had only died ten years ago.

However, the piece of paper handed over by Pei Yue today is not only evidence of Pei Rong's crime, but also will fundamentally shake the foundation of the Pei family.

Silent Cloud looked at Pei Yue with a serious look, and his eyes became sharp unknowingly, as if he wanted to see through the young man's heart.

Pei Yue sat upright, with a pale face and a hint of sadness and anger in his eyes.
