In the Fengcheng Hou Mansion, in the Sizhi Hall.

Li Binzhong, wearing a python robe and jade belt, sat at the table and drank tea slowly.

He is in his mid-fifties this year. He has an excellent face and sparkling eyes. He is extremely tall and does not appear to be old at all.

"Grandpa, you must save me this time."

Li Zijun stood aside with panic on his face. The noise outside was so loud that even the people in the back house were alarmed, and he was no exception. Hearing that Silent Cloud personally brought people here, Young Master Li was so scared that he lost his mind. At this time, he He knew very well that only Li Binzhong could protect him, so for the first time in the morning, he came to Sizhitang to pay his respects.

"Did you do this?" Li Bingzhong put down his teacup and asked expressionlessly.

Young Master Li, who was arrogant outside, was as obedient as a quail. He didn't even dare to defend himself. He just nodded honestly and said, "Yes."

Li Bingzhong asked again: "Where is the person?"

Li Zijun shook his head quickly and said: "Grandpa, my people ambush the Pei family on the official road yesterday, but they haven't come back until now, so I don't know where the Pei family is."

Li Bingzhong narrowed his eyes slightly, as if he was thinking about the strangeness here.

Suddenly there was a noise outside, and then the leader of Li Bingzhong's soldiers came in quickly. After saluting, he reported: "Master Hou, Guangping Hou Guliang led a hundred soldiers to the outside of the mansion to confront Master Shen of Taishitai Pavilion. The two sides They are all asking Mr. Hou to go out and talk."

"Gu...Gu Liang..."

Li Zijun's legs are a little weak.

Li Bingzhong frowned and reprimanded: "Why are you panicking? Tell me what happened in detail and don't hide it."

Li Zijun swallowed to relieve the panic in his heart, and then started talking about the loss he suffered at Luliu Village in July. It took about a stick of incense to finish the grievances between him and Pei Yue.

When Li Handong stood up, he was actually half a head taller than Li Zijun, and his frame was very strong.

He suddenly stretched out his hand, slapped Li Zijun on the face, and cursed: "Disgraceful trash."

Then he strode out of Sizhitang and said to the soldiers: "Bring that little beast over to me."

On the main street outside the Fengcheng Hou Mansion, two groups of elite warriors were clearly separated, facing each other from left to right.

"Has it been found out?" Gu Liang looked at Silent Cloud with an extremely cold tone.

Silent Cloud looked at Gu Liang and the hundreds of soldiers behind him. Although his expression was still calm, he felt very uncomfortable in his heart. From the time he received the information from Taige to the time he confirmed Li Zijun's suspicion, it only took two or three hours. , rushed here immediately after dawn. Gu Liang received a notification from Xi Sidao last night. Even if he led his army to Beijing early in the morning, why did he appear here directly?

There is only one answer: there are people from Guliang in Taishitai Pavilion.

Thinking of this, Silent Cloud said lightly: "Don't you know whether it has been found out?"

Gu Liang did not explain, or he was too lazy to explain - although Taishitai Pavilion has strong intelligence capabilities and has been cooperating well with the military, it is not unusual for both sides to plant confidants in each other. Just like someone in the South Camp now The leader is the crow in Taige, but Gu Liang has never exposed him. Instead, he treats him equally, and he will be promoted when he needs to be promoted. However, he will avoid this person when it comes to some core secrets.

Gu Liang said solemnly: "Now that we have found out, arrest someone for interrogation quickly. Pei Yue's whereabouts are unknown now, why is Mr. Shen wasting time here?"

Silent Cloud said calmly: "Tai Ge has its own rules for handling affairs. I wonder why Lord Gu came here so early in the morning to be so verbose?"

Gu Liang placed the long knife he was carrying across his horse, his eyes slightly lowered and said: "I'm here to watch you. If there is something you don't dare to do, then I will do it myself."

"Squeak——"

The heavy door of the Fengcheng Marquis Mansion was slowly opened, and Li Bingzhong walked out, supported by a line of soldiers, stood on the steps, and said calmly: "Master Shen, Lord Gu, came here early in the morning. I wonder if there are any people there?" What's the point?"

Silent Cloud stepped forward slowly, and the young man holding the sword in his left hand was not within three feet of him.

He came to stand at the foot of the stone steps and said solemnly: "Master Li Hou, the eldest son of your house is involved in a case, so I want to invite him back for questioning."

Li Pingzhong took such a tough stance today, naturally because the person he had to face was by no means an easy person, but he would not really offend Shen Moyun. As a close minister of the emperor, he knew very well that in the heart of Emperor Kaiping, the man in charge of the Taiwan Pavilion was What is the status of a young man? So when he saw Shen Moyun taking the initiative to give him the steps, he walked down quickly, stood in front of Shen Moyun and said, "Master Shen, I wonder what happened to that little beast of mine?"

Silent Cloud said: "Pei Yue, the junior of Dingguo Mansion, is missing. My subordinates found out that the matter is related to Mr. Li. Just because the manor is no better than other families, I came here personally."

These words were enough to give Li Bingzhong face. Marquis Fengcheng was shocked at first, and then said angrily: "This little beast doesn't do any serious work all day long, but he works hard for Master Shen. He deserves to be damned! But Master Shen, he has already done this." According to my report, although he did have a conflict with that Pei family member, it was just a fight between children and they would never dare to violate the king's law."

He paused for a moment and said to the back: "Bring that little beast over here!"

Li Zijun's legs were fighting, and he was held up by two soldiers. There was a huge swelling on his cheek, and half of his face looked like a meat bun.

Li Bingzhong said in a deep voice: "What Mr. Shen said has absolutely nothing to do with this little beast, but if you are too tired to go there yourself, I won't give him another slap now!"

The implication is that he does not admit Taishitaige's accusations, but he will give Momoyun's face enough.

As for taking Li Zijun back to Taige Prison, Li Binzhong would definitely not agree to it.

For Shen Moyun, it was not that difficult to suppress Li Pingzhong forcibly. This matter had the approval of the emperor, and he did not really care about Li Pingzhong's attitude. But at this moment, he knew that he did not need to come forward, so he chose to remain silent.

"Hello, Li Pingzhong."

Gu Liang's unceremonious voice sounded from behind. Marquis Guangping sat on his horse and said condescendingly: "I didn't even know you had a hobby of singing. You used the front of your house as a stage early in the morning. Did you? ill?"

Li Bingzhong turned around and faced each other, with a cold light in his eyes, and said in a cold voice: "Gu Liang, don't be too presumptuous."

Gu Liang sneered and slowly pulled out the long knife half a foot in front of him.

There was a serious conflict between the civil and military officials in the Daliang court, especially the ruling officials of the Dongfu and the six ministers, who had always been dissatisfied with the top nobles of the country. Logically speaking, in this case, the nobles should unite, but Gu Liang has always been dissatisfied with Li Bingzhong. The relationship between the two can be described as "fire and water".

Gu Liang's title was obtained by fighting on the border. In fact, most nobles are like this. It is difficult to obtain a decent title without staying on the border for a few years and fighting with people from Western Wu or Southern Zhou. But Li Bingzhong was different. He rose from the position of Minister of the Ministry of War, and then transferred to the Governor's Office of the Fifth Army. He had never gone to the border to kill the enemy, so Gu Liang looked down upon him.

Listening to the Fengcheng Marquis' rebuke, Gu Liang didn't look at him seriously. He only looked at the long knife with a cold light in front of him and uttered a cold word in his mouth.
