Two flowers bloom, one on each side.

After Pei Yue dealt with those officials who spoke insincerely, he walked alone through the deep doorway of the Chengtian Gate of the Imperial City.

Across the street from the Foreign Minister, his soldiers stood waiting in silence, while a solid carriage was parked not far away.

Pei Yue saw the emblem on the carriage at a glance, felt slightly puzzled, and then walked over quickly.

"Get in the car and talk." Gu Liang's gentle voice came from the car.

Pei Yue got on the carriage and said slightly surprised: "I thought uncle had returned home long ago."

Gu Liang looked at his expression carefully and saw that there was no worry or anger on his face. He immediately felt relieved and said with a smile: "I was worried that you would be angered by those people, so I stayed and took a look."

Pei Yue shook his head and said, "It's just hypocrisy and subterfuge. I can handle this kind of superficiality."

Gu Liang muttered: "You made a good move. You took the initiative to reveal the identity of Miss Lin and solved this hidden danger in advance. But you must pay attention to one thing. The courtiers who impeached you this time are extremely scattered, seemingly unrelated and quite different.

There is a perfunctory feeling, unlike the organized criticism in the past. This shows that the mastermind behind the scenes does not have enough prestige to twist the connections in his hands into a rope."

Pei Yue sat down opposite Gu Liang and said a name with certainty: "Li Bingzhong."

Gu Liang asked with great interest: "Why are you sure it's him?"

Pei Yue replied: "Li Bingzhong was originally a civil servant, served as Minister of the Ministry of War, and served as the Governor of the Fifth Army for several years, so he was able to connect with Wu Xun, a civil servant. It's just that he shrank under Wang Pingzhang's wings for a long time, so it was not possible to talk about it.

To convince the public with his prestige, those low-level officials had to take action either to repay his favor or for the sake of Wang Pingzhang. Even aside from these reasons, I am sure that it is him who is causing trouble, because I did not expect that the court would still

How could any adult act so ridiculously and incompetently?"

Gu Liang asked meaningfully: "Incompetent?"

Pei Yue answered honestly: "Uncle, actually I know that Li Pingzhong met Lu Jiang a few days ago."

Gu Liang couldn't help but laugh and joked: "The Fengcheng Hou Mansion is leaking from all sides, so it's really hard for him."

Pei Yue couldn't help but chuckle and said: "Who made him confident enough to make an appointment with Lu Jiang at the Sizhitang? Although my spy didn't know what they talked about, it was difficult to ignore Lu Jiang strutting into the Sizhitang.

"

"What are you going to do?"

"I originally just wanted to resolve the hidden dangers of Shu Yue's life experience as soon as possible, and I never thought of using her as bait. This is inconsistent with my original intention. Since Li Bingzhong is not satisfied with impeachment in court, he also wants to use Lu Jiang to do those dirty deeds.

Then I can only take advantage of it."

"No matter what, they are the ones seeking their own death after all."

"Uncle knows your Majesty better. Will doing this arouse your Majesty's suspicion?"

"Why does Your Majesty doubt you?"

"I placed an informant in the Fengcheng Hou Mansion. This kind of thing seems inappropriate for a minister to do."

Hearing this answer, Gu Liang was startled, and then he laughed and said: "I really don't know what to say about you. Sometimes you are bold, and sometimes you are too cautious. Do you think those civil servants don't want to do this? They just don't have the ability. Furthermore,

You can't hide your majesty's manpower from him. If he doesn't want you to do it, how can you escape his majesty's casual sword with your two half-baked soldiers who are born in the farm?"

Pei Yue suddenly realized it and said with emotion: "How many knives does our Majesty have hidden in his hand?"

Gu Liang hesitated for a moment, then whispered a name: "Wen Yu."

"Uncle actually doubted her too." Pei Yue's expression changed slightly.

"You should know that His Majesty has another secret agent system, which is independent of Taishitai Pavilion in Silent Cloud. There is a servant in my house who is one of those secret agents. As for the maid next to Pei Taijun, my judgment should not be An error occurred." Gu Liang said seriously.

Pei Yue remained silent.

Wen Yu left a very deep impression on him at first, but before Gu Liang mentioned it this time, he had already begun to doubt Wen Yu's identity.

The reason is simple.

That day he made a big fuss in the Dingguo Mansion, drew his sword to show his power in Ding'an Hall, and was summoned into the palace by the emperor afterwards. At that time, the emperor kept reprimanding Pei Yue in front of many important ministers, and there was some subtlety hidden in those fierce words. Information. The emperor knew that he had taken action against Pei Yongnian and that he had sharp words for Pei Rong. The former of the two incidents happened in front of the gate of Dingguo Mansion. There were many witnesses. It was not surprising that the emperor knew about it. As for the latter, it was not difficult. Guessed.

However, none of the important ministers noticed that the emperor also said something, Pei Yue gave Pei Yun a good beating.

This incident happened in Ding'an Hall. At that time, apart from the Pei family and the dying Pei Yongnian, the only witness was Wen Yu, who was serving Taijun Pei.

Of course, Pei Yue was just suspicious and had no intention of doing anything.

But then he thought of something else, and his expression became serious.

Seeing this, Gu Liang said with relief: "Don't worry, there must be no one close to you who has His Majesty's eyes and ears."

Pei Yue asked: "Why can uncle be so sure?"

Gu Liang smiled faintly and said gently: "Your Majesty is not a god after all. It is impossible to predict that a bastard who was kicked out of Kyoto will have such a great fortune. When you emerge, even if he wants to plant ears and eyes, he will not be able to enter your side. Inner circle.”

Pei Yue thought about it carefully and felt more relaxed.

He has too many secrets, and it will be very troublesome for the emperor no matter who knows about them.

Gu Liang returned to the previous topic again: "Since we have decided to strike preemptively, we must be quick, accurate and ruthless, and do not give our opponents a chance to escape."

"yes."

"You can do your own thing with peace of mind. I won't go there in the future, lest your aunt will nag me again."

"Thank you for your hard work, uncle."

"You brat, go ahead."

…

Kaiping six years, March 17.

The almanac says that when a singing dove flies over a strange feather, it is an auspicious day in the zodiac.

In an elegant and quiet mansion in Xicheng, Lin Shuyue got up very early. Although she fell asleep very late last night, her face was not tired at all, and her eyes were shining. After a simple breakfast, she sat down to dress In front of the stage, she let several maids help her dress up. Listening to their chirping praises and looking at the shy face in the bronze mirror, she couldn't help but nervously clutch the corners of her clothes.

I originally thought that my fate in this life was just to be carried through the door in a sedan, but I never expected that I would be able to dress in red and sit in the sedan that he specially prepared for me, like the women in the world expected.

She turned to look at the wedding dress hanging on the hanger, tears gradually gathering in her eyes.

"Miss, today is your big day, you should be happy." The maid comforted her softly.

Lin Shuyue nodded and quickly wiped away her tears, involuntarily looking forward to time passing faster.

At the same time, the Zhongshan Hou Mansion, decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations, was crowded with people.

In the outer study, Pei Yue was listening to Wang Yong's report on the construction of the manor. Fu Hongzhi's voice suddenly sounded outside the door: "Master Hou, I will report something soon."

Pei Yue frowned slightly and said calmly: "Come in."

After Fu Hongzhi came in, he knelt down on one knee and said with a look of shame on his face: "The general is not doing his job well, please punish me!"

Pei Yue looked at him solemnly. According to the previous plan, he should now deal with the enemies hiding in the dark, that is, a group of bandits gathered by Lu Jiang. The reason why this matter was handed over to Fu Hongzhi was because

The reason why Qi Min and Yang Hu were asked to assist and provide information was because Pei Yue did not want anything to go wrong today.

Fu Hongzhi lowered his head and said, "Master Hou, those people are gone."

"What did you say?"

Pei Yue's tone suddenly became cold and stern.
