Wang Zhongsi has now lost his real military position, and like Pei Rong at the beginning, he has a false title of governor in the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion.

Although he is not comparable to Pei Yue's current status, he has more than 20 years of experience in the military and has a dignified demeanor.

However, after Pei Yue heard these words, he turned around and walked to the young people and asked in a deep voice: "Who said that?"

He Rui's lips moved, but when he saw a sharp warning look from his father, he immediately did not dare to speak carelessly.

The other four people looked extremely miserable, and when Pei Yue came over, his body trembled involuntarily, but at this moment, they remained silent and only stared at Pei Yue with hateful eyes.

"hehe."

Pei Yue chuckled and said slowly: "I am not an unreasonable person. As long as someone comes forward and admits that he said it, I will not argue with others."

Still silence.

Pei Yue did not ask any more questions and said indifferently: "Here comes someone."

Feng Yi bowed and said: "Please give the order, Lord Marquis."

Pei Yue said: "Send these five people to Taishitai Pavilion and tell Jing Chu, the head of the Kun Department, and Lin Jia, the head of the Li Department, that some of these five people are related to the rebellion of King Yan, and ask them to investigate carefully for me.

Let go of any clue."

Liu Xian was shocked.

Wang Zhongsi and others suddenly changed their expressions, and the anger on their faces could no longer be concealed.

He Zhen was horrified to death. He looked at his son who was about to cry. Without thinking, he stood up and bowed to Pei Yue and begged for mercy: "Marquis Pei, although this beast of mine can't do anything, he will never say that kind of thing."

Ridiculous words, I hope Lord Pei will not argue with him."

At this time, he didn't care about other people's opinions. If he really let those wolf-like soldiers send He Rui to Taishitai Pavilion, even if he could come out alive, he would lose half his life.

Only then did Wang Zhongsi and others realize a serious problem.

Although the imperial court has announced the crimes and execution dates of the people involved in King Yan's rebellion, Emperor Kaiping has not taken back Pei Yue's power of imperial envoy. Pei Yue still has the absolute power to investigate all rebellions, as long as he feels there is suspicion

, you can send people to Taishitai Pavilion at any time.

Ye Sheng and Zhang Quan clearly had fear in their eyes.

Wang Zhongsi's face was as dark as water, and he said in a cold voice: "Absurd! Pei Yue, you act so unscrupulously, aren't you afraid of His Majesty's questioning?"

Pei Yue walked up to him slowly, stared at the middle-aged man for a moment, and said sarcastically: "Do you think you are Wang Pingzhang?"

Wang Zhongsi choked, and the murderous intention in his heart became stronger.

Pei Yue looked solemn and said slowly: "Wang Zhongsi, do you think that by living twenty more years, you can act like an elder in front of me? Open your dog eyes and see, I am an imperial envoy of the emperor.

Second-class Marquis of the State, Deputy Commander of the Huwei Camp! These idiots insulted not only this Marquis, but also the First-class Marquis of Guangping, Guliang, the right military commander of the Military Academy!"

Wang Zhongsi said forcefully: "You have already taken action, what else are you going to do?!"

Pei Yue said coldly: "You are not qualified to bargain in front of me. Either ask your son to explain honestly, or go back and call your father."

"Okay, okay, okay! Relying on His Majesty's favor, you have become so domineering. I want to see if you dare to take action today! You don't want to send them to Taishitai Pavilion, please do so!"

Wang Zhongsi suddenly got out of the way. After all, he was not a useless person like Pei Rong. Although he still didn't know what Pei Yue wanted to do, it was those incompetent guys who were at fault in this matter.

In this case, just stay single.

Could it be that Taishitai Pavilion dared to kill these noble disciples?

Pei Yue sneered, turned around, walked to the table, sat down, and said to Feng Yi: "Break one of each of their legs to prevent anyone from waiting for an opportunity to escape, and then send them to Taishitai Pavilion."

"Follow the order!"

Feng Yi agreed loudly, and then led a few soldiers towards that direction.

"Wait a minute."

A strong voice came from outside the door.

When Wang Zhongsi heard this familiar voice, he felt ashamed for a moment. The reason why he came here first was because he hoped to deal with it in advance, so as to prevent Wang Pingzhang from being involved in such a thing at his late age. Although Wang Pingzhang was the eldest son because of his

The reason for his death was that he treated his eldest grandson Wang Jiuxuan differently, but he was not bad to his other sons, so Wang Zhongsi has always been very filial.

He quickly turned around to meet him, lowered his head and said, "My children and grandchildren are unfilial, so my father has to worry about it."

Wang Pingzhang glanced at him calmly, walked straight into the house without saying anything.

Wang Jiuxuan, who was following behind, whispered calmly: "I've met my second uncle."

The two looked at each other, and Wang Zhongsi sighed deeply, suddenly understanding why his father valued this eldest grandson so much.

Ye Sheng and Zhang Quan are the newly promoted nobles promoted by Wang Pingzhang personally. They are not even in the same pot as the founding princes. For many years, they have always regarded themselves as lackeys of Wei Guogong. At this moment, they stood aside and saluted respectfully, and met with the previous ones.

His attitude towards Pei Yueshi was completely different.

Wang Pingzhang nodded slightly, then bowed his hands to Liu Xian and said, "I have met His Highness."

Liu Xian stood up and said with a complicated expression: "Wei Guogong does not need to be polite."

He had no friendship with Wang Pingzhang, but he was, after all, the only official duke in Daliang, and he also held the power of the Military Academy. On the surface, he was still the most important military minister that Emperor Kaiping relied on, so he must maintain a certain degree of respect.

Wang Pingzhang sat down opposite Liu Xian, looked at the table full of untouched seats, and said with a smile: "Your Highness and the Marquis of Zhongshan are in great spirits."

Pei Yue slightly raised the corner of his mouth and said: "When I walked into this room just now, your grandson said that he would give me a glass of wine. This is too petty and not like the style of the Duke of Wei."

Wang Pingzhang picked up the jug next to him, opened the lid and smelled it, and then said with great regret: "A warrior should drink strong wine, but it's a pity that I am old and weak, so I can't compare to the two of you at the right time."

Pei Yue said: "Since Wei Guogong is not feeling well, why bother traveling around? Isn't it a good thing to leisurely fish in the mansion?"

Wang Jiuxuan, who was standing behind Wang Pingzhang, felt awe-inspiring and frowned slightly as he looked at Pei Yue, who had a calm expression on his face.

Wang Pingzhang didn't take it seriously, and said slowly: "It is common for a husband to have an unkind wife and an unfilial son, but if this happens, who can remain indifferent? I don't want to have some leisure time, so I can't just watch them go.

Die. That's all, Pei Yue, please give me some face in this matter."

He already knew the reason for today's turmoil outside. After all, it was not complicated in the first place. It was simply those juniors who violated Pei Yue's taboo.

Liu Xian originally wanted to take advantage of the situation to smooth things over, but after seeing Pei Yue's stern expression, he ultimately did not speak.

Wang Zhongsi and others' eyes were filled with sadness, but there was endless anger in their hearts. They never imagined that the majestic Duke would bow his head directly in front of a junior.

Pei Yue looked at Wang Pingzhang indifferently, shook his head slightly and said: "Wei Guogong's face is very valuable, but I'm afraid it won't work today."

"oh."

Wang Pingzhang responded casually, and then said with a smile: "This is the Bamboo Tower, not the Zhongshan Marquis Mansion, nor the Huwei Camp. I saw it when I came in. You only brought a dozen soldiers with you today, but I

But you brought a hundred soldiers here. Based on this calculation, it seems that you can't take these juniors away."

"Of course, they were at fault in this matter, so I am willing to give you a step down."

"If you don't want this step, I'm afraid you have no choice but to take action against me."

"What do you think?"

Wang Pingzhang spoke slowly and steadily, his old eyes staring at Pei Yue with extremely sharp eyes.
