Smile is the most common human expression, with many types, such as sneer, sneer, sweet smile, bitter smile, etc. Each smile can accurately express the owner's mood.

But Pei Yue's laughter at this time did not reveal his true thoughts.

The only thing that can be confirmed is that his move will shock many people's jaws, because his smile is a little unrestrained.

Ever since the day Silent Cloud entered Taishitai Pavilion, the people who underestimated him disappeared. As he became more and more trusted by the emperor, there were very few people who dared to speak freely in front of him. After he took charge of Taishitai Pavilion, Even if everyone is not in danger wherever they go, they are at least cautious. Don't laugh wildly like Pei Yue. Even small talk must be rehearsed in your mind in advance.

Don't be deceived by his gentle attitude in front of Pei Yue. Over the years, he has lost no less than twenty important ministers of third rank or above, several of whom have implicated the family. The men are all beheaded, and the women are sent to the Jiaofang Department as prostitutes. .

If not, why would that blue-grey building become the government office that officials in the DPRK fear most?

Listening to Pei Yue's laughter gradually subsided, Silent Cloud put his hands in front of his lower abdomen and said expressionlessly: "It's funny?"

There are only three words, but there is a strong momentum of the mountains rushing towards my face.

This is the aura that the leader of Daliang's secret agents should have. Although it is only temporarily revealed, it can bring the atmosphere in the hall to freezing point.

Pei Yue sat upright and replied in a neither humble nor arrogant manner: "Reply to Mr. Shen, it's really funny."

This answer was beyond Silent Cloud's expectations. Except in front of the emperor, he had not heard such a cold answer for many years.

Pei Yue was observing him, so why wasn't he observing this young man?

From being respectful at the beginning, to not giving in when talking about business, to now being tit-for-tat.

Pei Yue did not wait for Silent Cloud to continue asking questions, and said in a deep voice: "Pei Rong cannot represent the Pei family, and the nobles in the military do not value him that much. Your Excellency is in charge of the Tai Pavilion, and you should know how everyone reacted after he resigned. Junior. Although I don’t know, I can guess a little bit. No one should be paying attention to his situation, right? He is just a dude. I don’t know why Mr. Shen is so hesitant?"

Silent Cloud sighed softly: "The mere dandy you are talking about is not someone else, but your father."

The corners of Pei Yue's lips slightly raised, and he spoke calmly: "Crows have the obligation to feed back, and sheep have the obligation to kneel down to breastfeed. Everyone knows this. Your pure and filial heart has never changed through hardships, and you have persisted in your determination through ups and downs. I bowed to you and obeyed. However, I also heard that following the Tao but not the emperor, following righteousness but not the father is a great conduct. Therefore, if a son obeys the father's orders, is he filial? If a minister obeys the emperor's orders, is he chaste?"

He was not completely sure why Silent Cloud favored Pei Rong. Whether it was because he was grateful for Pei Zhen's support back then, or because he had other motives to keep this good-for-nothing dude.

It didn't matter right now, he knew how to deal with it.

Silent Cloud's eyes narrowed slightly. These words were the most important content of the first letter he wrote to Pei Yue in Shen Danmo's name.

The use of Pei Yue here is undoubtedly to use his reasoning to ask: Since you said that direct remonstrance is the way of loyalty and filial piety, and now you are ignoring the evidence of Pei Rong's crime, what kind of loyal minister is this?

Silent Cloud suddenly chuckled a few times. There was no trace of anger on his face, but a slight hint of appreciation.

He said calmly: "You really want Pei Rong to die."

The picture is poor and can be seen.

All the previous preparations, evasions, and dealings were just to confirm this matter.

Pei Yue did not defend himself, but said seriously: "It's not that I want him to die, it's that he deserves to die."

At this moment, he stopped beating around the bush and said loudly: "I have been abused by him in Dingguo Mansion for so many years, and he deserves to die. He deserves to be blamed for colluding with bandits to harm the people outside the city. If he does not repent, he still wants to retaliate, and he will not owe him anything if he continues to cause harm. Man, shouldn’t this kind of trash deserve to die?”

Silent Cloud said calmly: "Then have you ever heard of the saying that if a good person doesn't live long, he will suffer a thousand years?"

Pei Yue suddenly regained his composure at this moment and did not continue to follow the other person's words.

Some things just need to be done and don't need to be said, especially saying it in front of Shen Moyun would look stupid. He had already made his attitude clear just now, and saying more harsh words would just be superfluous.

At the beginning of today's trip, he still had some expectations. After all, Silent Cloud had been very kind to him before, and even competed with Gu Liang to invite him to a banquet. At that time, Pei Yue thought that his future was smooth. , with the care of these two big guys, why worry about not being able to get ahead? However, after today's conversation, Pei Yue quickly became sure of one thing, that is, the other party was not from the same group as him.

No matter what the reasons are for Silent Cloud to keep Pei Rong, his image in Pei Yue's heart will inevitably fade.

He is no longer the great man who looked as calm as a wandering cloud and wild crane when we first met him, but is now a cruel official with deep thoughts and unprincipled actions.

Silent Cloud seemed to have guessed Pei Yue's thoughts. He did not argue or explain anything, but his eyes were slightly dazed, as if he saw the shadow of someone from the past in this young man.

"Is this the only reason for your visit today?"

After a long silence, Silent Cloud asked.

Pei Yue took out a few more pieces of paper from his sleeves, stood up and handed them to Shen Moyun, and then said solemnly: "In addition to Pei Rong, there are three other people who colluded with the bandits. The evidence will be handed over to you. I believe that the Taige prison will be well." Entertain these officials."

Silent Cloud only glanced at it, then put away the papers and said with great interest: "Logically speaking, you should walk away and then spit on me, an unprincipled official fan."

Pei Yue shook his head and said: "Although I don't quite understand the reason why you favor Pei Rong, I always believe that you will handle this matter impartially. For me, no matter what the final result is, I can accept it, but I still hope The imperial court should not chill the hearts of those soldiers."

The two of them had a tacit understanding and did not mention the previous dispute again, as if it had never happened at all.

Silent Cloud nodded and said: "You will report the names of the soldiers involved in this matter to Gu Liang and follow the procedures. The court will not treat them badly."

"Thank you, Master Shen."

Pei Yue bowed his hand.

Silent Cloud accepted this gift, and then said: "You have been exchanging letters with Mo'er for some time. Since you are here today, you might as well meet up."

Pei Yue said without any hesitation: "I appreciate your kindness, but there are differences between men and women. It is not appropriate to meet Miss Shen, and it will affect her reputation. Please forgive me for the inconvenience."

Silent Cloud seemed to just mention it casually, but when he declined, he did not insist. He nodded and said: "That's fine, the bandit case will be revealed within half a month at the latest, and I will send someone to inform you of the result at that time."

Pei Yue stopped staying, thanked him and left.

Silent Cloud looked at his back. There was no anger in his heart as Pei Yue imagined. Instead, his expression gradually became serious.

After confirming Pei Yue's intentions, Silent Cloud no longer thought about the bad things Pei Rong had committed. He vaguely noticed that after meeting Pei Rong and Mr. Xi that night, his guess seemed to be gradually being confirmed.

Pei Yue did not look back when he left Shen's Mansion, and rode the pony towards the west city.

There is no need to worry about Pei Rong's fate anymore. Today, on the one hand, he wants to use Silent Cloud's hand to make this matter bigger, and on the other hand, he wants to see in person what kind of person Silent Cloud is. Not to mention Silent Cloud, Even if the emperor wants to keep Pei Rong, he will poke a hole in the sky this time.

You all want me to restrain myself, but I want to send him to hell.

Otherwise, wait for him to continue to think of ways to murder me?

Pei Yue, who was immersed in his thoughts, hurriedly left Dongcheng and did not notice a girl hanging far behind him. Although she was walking very fast.
