721 【Overture】
The nobles in front of them raised their heads, their faces full of surprise.
Pei Yue shook his head and said disappointedly: "If you dared to take action just now, my soldiers might not be able to stop you, but now that I'm here and your Majesty has entrusted this matter to me, do you want me to watch you?"
Killing Zhou people? Dear gentlemen, regardless of the depth of our friendship, I’m afraid it’s inappropriate for me to take the blame, right?”
The nobles felt that these words made them feel particularly comfortable, and they all smiled and said: "Marquis Pei was joking, we were just angry for a moment, and we definitely never thought about killing people in Qinyuan."
Pei Yue nodded slightly and said with a gentle expression: "If you give me this face, I will naturally keep it in mind. I already understand the process of this matter. In fact, it is just that both parties are drunk, so it is not a big deal if there is a little conflict."
He looked around at the crowd and continued: "If you are willing to show your respect, I will send someone to prepare some tea and snacks at Subi. You can go there and listen to the music instead of gathering here anymore, how about that?"
Even then someone said loudly: "Marquis Pei is naturally fair in dealing with things. That bastard of mine dares to cause trouble in Qinyuan, so please punish him at will!"
The answer is like a cloud.
Of course they knew that this matter was serious or trivial. After all, the other party had the status of an attaché of a diplomatic mission, and it was at a special period when the two countries were repairing relations. It would not be easy to resolve it easily. In fact, these nobles were not fools. The reason why they wanted to do this was
The main reason why the commotion has reached that point is because they are worried that attacking the people in the mission will become a major event that affects the relations between the two countries. By then, the children in their family will definitely suffer.
However, after Pei Yue came forward, especially when Feng Qingyun said the word murder calmly, they felt relieved.
Pei Yue glanced aside, and Qi Min and others stepped forward to invite these nobles away.
It was completely quiet outside the door. Pei Yue turned to look at Xu Churong, looked at him from top to bottom, and asked expressionlessly: "Are you injured?"
Xu Churong frowned and said, "There's no need for you to be pretentious."
She is not stupid. Pei Yue just has the word "peace of mind" written on his face. Obviously, he will not care about the powerful children who took action. At most, he will only be punished with three drinks. However, for her, today's incident is completely
A sudden misfortune happened, not only was he made into such a mess, but he was also blocked outside the hospital by those Liang people and scolded him for a long time. Who else could endure such a bad breath?
Pei Yue already knew her identity. Seeing how she pretended to be mature despite her young age, he couldn't help but find it funny and said lightly: "Since you are not injured, then just follow me."
Xu Churong asked without moving: "Where to go?"
Pei Yue turned around and said: "Of course we need to resolve this conflict. If you don't want to pursue it, I will send someone to take you back to Sifang Pavilion."
Xu Churong looked at his determined back, biting her silver teeth secretly, wishing she could kick him in the back.
"Miss?" A guard looked at Xu Churong worriedly, fearing that she would get into trouble with the powerful Marquis of Zhongshan.
Xu Churong said nothing with a sullen face, flicked his sleeves and followed.
When Pei Yue walked into the Shuijing Hall, the powerful disciples who had been temporarily treated by the doctors struggled to get up and salute. In fact, they had the advantage at first, but after Xu Churong gave the order, the six martial arts masters did not
Keep your hands, so these young people are really miserable, and many of them have swollen faces.
However, they did not look defeated at all, but instead all of them looked extremely excited.
Without waiting for Pei Yue to ask, they began to take the initiative to tell the story of the incident.
At first there was a lot of chatter, but gradually the story was told by the warrior surnamed Li and the brother He in his mouth. Pei Yue listened patiently, with a completely different attitude from the previous treatment of their fathers.
After the warrior surnamed Li finished speaking, he looked at Pei Yue and said respectfully: "Pei Yue, I didn't mean to cause trouble in Qinyuan. It's just that those Zhou people thought they concealed it very well, but no one can see them.
Their identity? They thought that their identities as attachés of the mission could be concealed. If they didn’t want to spy on the news, why didn’t they go to the small courtyard inside to keep it clean, instead of coming to a noisy place like the lobby?”
Pei Yue looked at him slightly surprised.
At this moment, Xu Churong entered the lobby surrounded by guards.
Regardless of whether they were injured or not, the noble disciples looked at each other in an extremely united manner at this moment.
Xu Churong happened to hear that last sentence and felt a little uneasy for some reason.
Pei Yue turned to look at her and said, "Actually, I'm also a little curious. If you just want to experience the characteristics of Qinyuan, why don't you find a quiet courtyard?"
Xu Churong snorted and said, "I like a livelier place, can't I?"
Pei Yue smiled, did not argue with her, and then said to the noble disciples: "You all care about the important people. This is commendable, but it is still a little impulsive. These are indeed attachés of the mission, especially this young master.
He is a relative of the envoy of the Southern Zhou Dynasty. He probably admires the strength of our Liang Dynasty and came to Kyoto to pay his respects. If you make a conclusion without investigating clearly, and do not listen to the other party's excuse, you directly hurt someone. The imperial court cannot turn a blind eye."
The noble disciples suddenly became nervous. They had been so hot-blooded just now, but they gradually calmed down while the doctor was treating them. They couldn't help but feel a little scared when they thought that the imperial court had just signed an alliance with the south.
The warrior surnamed Li suddenly stood up and said: "Pei Hou, I alone provoked this matter. The other brothers were just out of righteous indignation, so it has nothing to do with them. No matter what kind of punishment, I, Li Cunyi, can bear it alone!"
Brother He, who was standing next to him, also said sternly: "Li Cunyi and I were the ones who made the move first. It's none of anyone else's business. Please punish Pei Marquis according to the law!"
Others' emotions were stirred up again, and they all opened their mouths to shoulder the blame.
Pei Yue looked over one by one and saw that these people were about the same age as him, basically around twenty years old. He pondered for a moment and said: "Your Majesty ordered me to deal with this matter. Actually, it is because drunkenness and causing trouble are not a big mistake. Otherwise, it would have been a long time ago."
I will put you in the prison of the Ministry of Justice. Now that the two countries have just signed a friendship alliance, I believe that no one is willing to see a small thing ruin the overall situation. What do you think, Mr. Xu?"
Hearing that he emphasized the emphasis on the word "gongzi", Xu Churong turned his head and did not answer.
Pei Yue chuckled in his heart, it was obvious that he was a spoiled little girl. That Xu Ziping really didn't know the importance. He clearly shouldered such a heavy responsibility, but he took the most arrogant daughter of the chief minister of Southern Zhou with him.
He said to the noble disciples: "Although your injuries are more serious, after all, you were the one who made the first move, which is the first mistake. Let's do this. You will make amends to Mr. Xu and his guards. Both sides will be harmed."
Let’s each take a step back and put this grudge behind us.”
These young people just thought that the city government was going to be a little worse after all, so they immediately stepped forward to apologize with a smile on their face.
Xu Churong was so angry that his head hurt, but his uncle and his people never showed up. They must have been forced to stay in the palace by the Beiliang Emperor. The outcome of this matter is self-evident.
Pei Yue smiled and said: "Master Xu, there are many of you. I hope you don't bear any grudge against these young people."
Xu Churong looked at him steadily and said indifferently: "Zhongshan Hou's method is indeed extraordinary, I have written it down."
"It doesn't matter." Pei Yue didn't take it seriously and said to Qi Min who came over: "You can lead a group of soldiers and personally escort Mr. Xu back to Sifang Pavilion."
"Obey the order!" Qi Min bowed in agreement, then looked at Xu Churong and said: "Mr. Xu, please!"
Xu Churong's eyes were like a knife, he scratched Pei Yue a few times, then turned and walked away.
After she left, Pei Yue's face suddenly became solemn, he stared at the smiling young people in front of him, shook his head and said: "More than thirty people faced off against seven of them, and they were beaten to pieces. How can you still laugh?"
Everyone was immediately ashamed.
Pei Yue didn't preach too much. After all, he was not their biological father, so he just stopped. Then he said: "But it's rare to have it in your mind. I will have the medicinal materials delivered to your house later, and there is also a piece of medicine."
Qinyuan’s silver name plate is a little bit of thoughtfulness.”
The young people were stunned for a moment, then cheered wildly.
Qinyuan's membership card has long been popular throughout Kyoto, and countless wealthy businessmen have spent a lot of money here, just to get a jade card as soon as possible, and then they can join the real upper-class and powerful circles.
Although these young people are descendants of noble families, they are not wealthy, otherwise they would not crowd into the lobby to eat. If they only spent money on their own, who knows how long it will take to be promoted from an iron medal to a bronze medal, let alone a silver medal?
The praises continued for a while. Pei Yue smiled and chatted briefly with everyone. After writing down their names and origins, he asked Yang Hu to send someone to take them back home.
After a while, only Li Cunyi and He Mian were left in the lobby.
Pei Yue invited them to sit down at a clean table and asked calmly: "Li Cunyi, where are you working now?"
Li Cunyi replied respectfully: "Back to Pei Hou, I am serving as a guerrilla in the garrison division."
He Mian followed up and said: "For the information of Marquis Pei, I am also a subordinate of the garrison division. Today, Li Cunyi and I are taking a break, so we made an appointment to visit Qinyuan."
Pei Yue nodded slightly and said slowly: "Do you want to be transferred to Beiying to join the army?"
The two men's breathing immediately became rapid. Pei Yue's words obviously did not refer to the entire Beiying, but to his two elite direct line guards.
"You can't get what I want!" Li Cunyi stood up and answered with his hands in his hands.
He Mian was also overjoyed and agreed.
Pei Yue smiled and said: "Okay, I will ask someone to go to Xifu and transfer you to Wuding Guards. However, you can only start as ordinary infantry at the beginning. Is there any problem? Of course, there are clear and strict rules in Wuding Guards.
The promotion stipulates that as long as you work hard and attentively, you won't be just a foot soldier for the rest of your life."
The two of them shook their heads quickly.
Pei Yue was quite satisfied, and after a few words of encouragement, he sent them back home to wait for orders.
After he handled the matter properly, he went back to the palace to resume his duties. As for the daughter of the chief minister of the Southern Zhou Dynasty, he obviously didn't take it to heart.
But it was difficult for Xu Churong to let go easily.
After returning to Sifang Pavilion, she locked herself in the bedroom, sat quietly and sulked.
She knew that Pei Yue's way of dealing with things like this was normal. After all, he was from Liang, and it was impossible for him to really beat those noble children half to death. However, she was not from Liang, and she did not take the initiative to provoke today. It was completely those people who had no reason to do so.
make trouble.
Not to mention her background, even an ordinary person would find it unacceptable.
Fortunately, she still retains some sense and is not a self-righteous person. She knows that there is nothing she can do to the other party in Beiliang Kyoto.
"Pei Yue!" She spit out two words from between her teeth.
I heard from my uncle before that Beiliang would send people directly south to welcome the bride, and the envoy was Pei Yue, Marquis of Zhongshan.
For her, what happened today was just the beginning.
