158 【After Farewell】
Human curiosity is endless.
Although Gu Fan did not pester Ye Qi to discuss, he did not let Pei Yue go. He had to find out the origin of Ye Qi. The arguments that Pei Yue used to fool the people of Luliu Village obviously did not make sense here. A person with no origins
Will the Jianghu Ranger go to the ruined temple south of Pingyuan Town to remind him? Being chased and inquired about by him, Pei Yue felt that he was about to become that broken casserole.
After being annoyed, Pei Yue could only send him to Shouyang Mountain and ask him to take care of the foundation there.
Fortunately, Gu Fan also knew the importance. The initial investment there alone, including the purchase of land, cost more than 60,000 taels. This was not a small number, and naturally it could not be ignored. So after punching Pei Yue twice, he finally left Ye Qi Bu Shan
Shi Shiran left under the gaze of his eyes.
Pei Yue was not idle in the business. After Gu Fan left, he and Ye Qi took a carriage to the east city.
Qi Jun, a burly young man, was in charge of driving. The other young men wanted to follow, but Pei Yue gave them a task to survey various places in the city to prepare for the upcoming briquette sales outlets.
"I thought you wouldn't go back to the Duke's mansion before Pei Rong completely collapsed."
In the carriage, Ye Qi said slightly surprised.
The more she knew about Pei Yue's past, the more she hated the people in the Duke's mansion. In addition to having a good impression of Pei Ning, she also regarded Taijun Pei as an accomplice who was watching indifferently.
Pei Yue said calmly: "Li Zijun's story tells me that my opponent will not sit still and wait for death."
Ye Qi's brows furrowed slightly: "I don't think Pei Rong still has the ability to fight back."
After hearing what Pei Yue said about the deeper meaning of Kaiping Emperor's title, Ye Qi already regarded Pei Rong as a dead man. Today's Pei family is no longer what it was when Pei Zhen was alive. Without the support of a backbone, the light
The love between nobles and nobles cannot resist the emperor's determination. Not to mention Pei Yuan, a long-lived prince, even if Pei Zhen is still alive, Emperor Kaiping will not take action against Pei Rong.
Under the current situation, who would run for Pei Rong at the risk of offending the emperor?
Li Bingzhong was driven to the Beijing camp, and for a long time he would keep a low profile in order to protect himself.
Gu Liang wished he could step on Pei Rong a few more times, so how could he help him escape the crime.
Other nobles either do not have enough status or are unwilling to take action.
No matter how you look at it, Pei Rong is destined to be unlucky this time because of his crime of colluding with bandits.
Pei Yue shook his head slightly and said, "You forgot Silent Cloud."
Ye Qi said doubtfully: "But he just helped you."
Pei Yue smiled softly and said: "Maybe your previous speculation is right. Silent Cloud just wants to deal with Li Pingzhong. As for me taking advantage of this matter, how can a big shot like him care? I'll tell you the truth.
, I borrowed a few people from Uncle Gu and have been keeping an eye on Dingguo Mansion these days, but there is nothing unusual."
He paused and analyzed calmly: "I gave Pei Rong's criminal evidence to Queen Shenyun. There is no way he would hide it from Dingguo Mansion. However, it was as quiet as usual there. This is the biggest abnormality.
These days, I have thought carefully about the past between Silent Cloud and the Pei family, and I have come to the conclusion that he will definitely not stand idly by."
He judged with great certainty: "At least he will maintain the status quo and Pei Rong will continue to stay in Dingguo Mansion."
"Then have you ever thought that if you insist on taking action against Pei Rong, in the eyes of outsiders he is your biological father after all, and he is terrifying." Ye Qi did not hide the worry and concern on his face.
Pei Yue smiled movedly, and then said: "It's not me who wants to take action against him, but the national law."
The two chatted for a long time. After an unknown amount of time, Qi Jun's voice was heard outside the carriage: "Master, we're here."
Pei Yue asked him to wait at the end of the street in front of the mansion, and then he and Ye Qi came to the gate of Dingguo Mansion.
In addition to the door, there was also a familiar person who happened to be outside the door. After seeing Pei Yue, his expression changed slightly, and then he quickly stepped forward and saluted, "Young man, I have met the third young master."
Pei Yue said calmly: "Li Rong is in charge, long time no see."
Li Rong said respectfully: "Listening to the achievements and feats of the third young master these days, you guys are so honored."
In fact, the government is not allowed to discuss Pei Yue's affairs, but the Beijing camp's campaign to suppress bandits is very large, so the rumors are very strong in Kyoto, especially in the Xungui Mansion. After the bandits were eliminated, Wang Pingzhang did not cover up Pei Yue's achievements.
As a result, his name became known to many people. Naturally, the servants in Dingguo Mansion would not miss this news. Those stewards who had bullied Pei Yue were all frightened, and some even wished they could give up their posts and go to the countryside to find a job.
The farm is in charge.
Li Rong had rarely met Pei Yue before and had no chance to show off in front of him, so he could still stand calmly at this moment.
Pei Yue ordered: "I will come back today to say hello to Mrs. Li. Could you please send a message to Manager Li?"
Li Rong said with a smile on his face: "This is the third young master's home, so there's no need to pass it on, right?"
Pei Yue said nothing, just looked at him expressionlessly.
Facing the young man's solemn eyes, Li Rong felt a sudden pressure rising in his heart. He nodded quickly and said, "Master, please wait in the concierge for a moment. I will go and report it now."
About a quarter of an hour later, Pei Yue took Ye Qi into the inner house of Dingguo Mansion, and the outline of the eaves of Ding'an Hall gradually appeared.
The people around them were also changed from Li Rong to a steward's wife, and several maids followed.
Entering Ding'an Hall, everything is as prosperous and peaceful as I have ever seen before, and you can also hear laughter coming from the main hall.
The person standing at the door to greet Pei Yue was Wen Yu. This maid with a soft and friendly face couldn't help but have a look of surprise in her eyes when she saw Pei Yue. However, she immediately noticed Ye Qi walking side by side with Pei Yue.
, she quickly calmed down her mind, her eyes regained their clarity, she stepped forward and said with a blessing: "My maid, please pay your respects to the Third Young Master."
Pei Yue stretched out his hand to support her and said with a smile: "Miss Wen Yu, isn't this a little off-putting?"
Wen Yu glanced at Ye Qi very quickly, lowered her head and said softly: "The courtesy cannot be discarded. Third Young Master, the old lady is waiting for you inside."
Pei Yue nodded and walked into the main hall calmly.
In the hall today, except for Pei Taijun, there was only a young girl with a good temperament sitting at the bottom, and there were a large group of well-dressed maids waiting nearby. When Pei Yue came in, the girl was chatting with Pei Taijun, one old and one old.
They get along very harmoniously.
The girl felt something strange, turned her head and saw Pei Yue looking at her with a smile.
Compared with before, this gaze seemed calmer and calmer, but there was no sense of alienation, and it was still full of gentleness and closeness.
For some reason, Pei Ning suddenly felt relaxed in his heart, as if a big stone had landed safely.
No one knows how she got here these days. Although Pei Yue did not forget to send someone to send a letter to tell her that she was safe, he watched his parents lose their temper from time to time, complaining in her ears from time to time, and listened to the personal maids coming from the house.
From the gossip she heard from other servants, she was proud of Pei Yue's progress, but she could not suppress her worries.
Although I haven't seen him for more than a month, to Pei Ning, it seems like a long time has passed.
It was so rare to meet again, Pei Ning looked at Pei Yue quietly.
Chapter completed!
