Chapter 563 Little Fatty Digging a Pit
Seeing Yue Qianqiu disappear outside the door, Xiao Jingxian stood silently for a while, and then he laughed without looking back.
"It's not a good habit to pretend to be asleep when you wake up."
The sound of snoring on the bed stopped suddenly. Then, the fat man got up in a mess, hung the curtain on the hook with one hand, and then said in a low voice: "I just heard the sound of you talking, and I just woke up."
"Well, I believe, because when I went to the bed to see you, you should have fallen asleep, but Qianqiu and I were just talking to you," Xiao Jingxian heard the rustling sound behind him, and knew that the little fat man was getting out of bed, so he whispered, "If you really sleep so deeply, then you would be too unconscious. It's great now, I'll take you back to the palace later."
The little fat man was in a hurry and didn't notice the word "Send you" and only paid attention to the word "Return to the Palace". He immediately protested: "Even if there are too many messy things in the past two days, uncle, don't you have to hurry to send me back to the Palace? I thought about that assassin last night and thought that something was strange. Why not hide it from it? According to the previous thief's statement, wouldn't it be enough?"
The more he said, the more he felt reasonable, and he said with a striking statement: "I think almost everything has been directed at Pei Xiang recently. This is very abnormal. Although I don't like him or even hate him, I can't do everything according to my personal likes and dislikes. Since that's the case, then the matter of the Jin Palace last night turned into a big and small matter. Isn't it the best?"
Although Xiao Jingxian had not been with the little fat man for a long time, he also knew that this kid was vengeful and revenge in this life. Being able to treat Pei Xu so tolerantly is definitely not the reason for being so high-sounding at this moment. One of the most important points is probably to avoid the so-called assassin storm that the Jin Palace was angrily attacked by those officials of Dawu who were already dissatisfied with the so-called assassin storm.
Thinking that although he had given some advice to the fat man, he could not say that he had given any extraordinary help. He had to admit that the only son of Emperor Nanwu was indeed too kind to him. Even if his nephew was still there, he was now a genuine Prince of Northern Yan or even the prince, so I was afraid that he would not be as good as the Prince of Southern Wu who took the initiative to post it.
Therefore, he was silent for a while, and finally said lightly: "You are only half of the words. Even now, from your father to Yue Xiang, to other officials of the court, everyone knows that Pei Xiang may have been plotted by others. However, if one thing can be said to be a false accusation by others, and all the things are said to be a false accusation by others, how can people believe it?"
"Or why do others believe that he was falsely accused? How much value can he get when he defeats his value? Did he succeed in being a human being, or did things so successful that others would not hesitate to find out the truth of these things for him and give him a cleansing of the truth?"
Seeing the little fat man being dumbfounded, Xiao Jingxian said earnestly: "Don't think that a moment of kindness can make people grateful. Sometimes, helping in time is far less than putting in trouble. It is far more important to recognize whether a person is worthy of your help than to win over people with small favors. You must remember that the unfathomable path of being alone is what you should go."
Yue Qianqiu didn't know what Xiao Jingxian would say to Xiao Jingxian after he left. Although he was talking to Xiao Jingxian before, he also noticed that the little fat man's snoring was different from the beginning. He understood that the person had woken up, but he knew that Xiao Jingxian would definitely skip the eight industries.
As for other reminders or teachings, it is all about the "uncle and nephew".
He hadn't had enough sleep for two hours in the night, so it would be better to go back and take a break.
When the young master Yue Jiu who had been busy all night returned to Yue Mansion's Kiss Residence, after hearing An Renqing say that the monkey went to send another message and then fell asleep, Jinling City was already in chaos from the palace to the outside. A big fire in Pei Mansion burned nearly half of the deep mansion that had been passed down for a hundred years, and the fire even spread to the next door. If it weren't for the lack of wind last night, I was afraid that all the residents on the street would be in trouble.
And the sound that was like a night owl that made everyone who heard it felt creepy also had a result after a night of fire. It turned out that it was not the men of the Pei family, but an insignificant concubine in the Pei mansion. The concubine was not Pei Xu's, but Pei Xu's sister-in-law, and she was mediocre. Pei Hui, who had been serving as the prefect before, was a prefect.
The concubine was very beautiful and was not from a slave. She was a civilian. Because she was attracted by Pei Hui who was out, she was sent to Pei Hui, who was the prefect at the time, by her family. She used to behave very well and rarely talked, but that night she stabbed Pei Hui while she was Dunlun. Pei Hui overthrew the oil lamp in pain, but the concubine shouted while the people in Pei's mansion were putting out the fire.
In the middle of the night, the Pei family was busy putting out the fire. On several adjacent streets, the concubine of the Pei family, who was not covered in clothes, accepted the dew, took away the lives of others, forced the good to be a concubine, and killed the slaves... They didn't know how many crimes they had been clamoring for, but they finally hit the death of the famous Confucius Temple in Jinling!
So, Xiao Jingxian escorted the little fat man back to the palace and met Chen Wuliang waiting there at the gate of the palace. He was summoned to the Daqing Palace together with Xiao Jingxian, and witnessed Pei Xiangdo's doomsday, who had been competing with the old master Yue for seven years.
Even though the two of them didn't mention the chaos in the Jin Palace, they just stood in the hall and the fat man discovered that overnight, the Pei family seemed to be a rat crossing the street and everyone shouted to beat him. He couldn't help but look at him.
He couldn't help but secretly glance at Pei Xu, whose face was ashen, his eyes were covered with blood, and he could not even argue. Thinking of the time when he was pulled away by Yue Qianqiu a few days ago, Pei Xu relied on unexpectedly recommending Master Yu to block the dirty water that was poured over. Even though he never liked or even hated this guy, he couldn't help but feel a little palpitations.
Is this... Is it like... the wall is over and everyone pushing it?
Suddenly, Xiao Jingxian's voice came from his ears: "Do you think you have to say what happened last night?"
Thinking that he had planned to help Pei Xu hide something and take the opportunity to show kindness to the boss who had just been promoted to the prestigious court. When he dealt with those spies in Lishui Garden, he had thought of taking the opportunity to take the handle of these high-ranking officials. Now the little fat man only feels that he is too ignorant of the world.
If it were the ones he had before, Xiao Jing would like to remind him that whether he was to leave some room for Pei Xu or to avoid Xiao Jing being involved first, he would definitely choose to calm down the situation, but this time, the little fat man did not mix with the slut.
After a large group of officials who were passionately stepping out ten thousand feet towards the Pei family, the fat man suddenly stood up and said in a deep voice: "Father, my son has something to say!"
Although the fat man did not attend court often, he did not express his opinions easily every time. Even many people remember that the prince used to appear one by one with Yue Qianqiu, the mortal enemy. So he went to find out if there was a shadow of Yue Qianqiu behind him, but he found that the cunning boy was gone, and instead was Xiao Jingxian, who was jokingly.
After being appointed as an official, the King of Jin almost never went to court. How could he suddenly make an exception this time?
No one thought that Xiao Jingxian was not uninvited, but when he was at the palace gate, Chen Wuliang invited him in at the order of the emperor when he summoned King Ying Li Yiming.
And the fat man didn't notice that someone was looking behind him? But not only did this gaze not make him feel uncomfortable, but also gave him great encouragement. It seemed that Xiao Jing behind him was paying attention, which made him happier than he himself.
Seeing his father nodding slightly to him, he took a deep breath, and, very cautiously and objectively, told the whole story of the thief in the Jin Palace last night. When he talked about the person who suspected of having first scrambled into his guards and then into the Jin Palace to assassinate him, he suddenly raised his voice.
"This person's origin is suspicious, and his identity is even more suspicious. Erchen suspects that it is precisely because the real guard sent by his father to Erchen was a widower who married the daughter of the Pei family that someone fell in love with this identity and seized the opportunity of Erchen in the King of Jin's Mansion to impersonate the name and make trouble! Erchen begs his father to recruit the best coroner from the Ministry of Justice and carefully inspect the two corpses in front and back to prevent fraud!"
Pei Xu heard the fat man first pull out the assassin and Pei, but pointed out that the matter was doubtful. He was surprised that there was a prince talking to him at this moment. But immediately afterwards, his heart that had just been excited just fell into the bottomless abyss again.
Because, the fat man glanced at him sideways, and the following words sounded quite polite at first glance, but in fact every word was heartbreaking.
"I listened carefully to all the charges that all the accused Pei Xiang of the crimes just now. In the final analysis, they all pointed to Pei Xiang's family and did not involve him at all. From this point of view, Pei Xiang's own ethics is really trustworthy. However, he is so upright that he has not managed his family well, and even indulged them in doing evil. Is this the demeanor of the prime minister?"
The little fat man's tone was even a little sad: "Pei has a hundred years of history in our dynasty alone, but now overnight, the mansion was burned to a small half, which almost caused the neighbors. But the root cause was just because of a corrupt official who was illegal. Pei Xiang asked himself, the word "inspection" is "inspection"? Nephew's illegality is "inspection", younger brother is "inspection", and son is "inspection". Should you use inspection to get rid of it?"
When Pei Xu finally changed his face when he heard that Li Yiming had even pointed out his son, he stared at Xiao Jingxian behind the fat man. You know, although many officials had launched all-round bombardment at him, with various angles, but it did not involve his son. At this time, the only prince of the dynasty pointed his son, which undoubtedly meant...
His stupid son sent his disciples to contact Nie Erzhu next to Xiao Jingxian, and the incident of the assassination of Yue Qianqiu was also revealed!
Xiao Jingxian saw Pei Xu's gaze, and actually smiled and nodded slightly. That's right, after Yue Qianqiu left the door early in the morning yesterday, he made it clear to the fat man. Seeing Pei Xu being struck by lightning, he quickly looked away. His head, which had just been held high, gradually dropped. Then he staggered forward and kowtowed to apologize. He sighed in his heart.
Since he is willing to make such a statement, Pei Xu's official future is over!
So many people were slandering each other just now. Although the second prime minister Pei Xu looked very ugly, he was still trying his best to argue at first. Later, after finding it was futile, even if he shut up and stopped talking, he never really gave in. But now King Li Yiming said this, and Pei Xu pleaded guilty. Many officials in the court suddenly had a commotion.
There are almost no stupid people who can stand here, but in an instant, most people understood the implicit meaning of the fat man. The word "nephew" is easy to understand, and Pei Nanxu had done something stupid before; the word "little brother" is easy to understand. If Pei Xu's brother Pei Hui was not lustful, how could he be stabbed half of his life with one knife, and then burned half of the Pei family compound that had been passed down for a hundred years?
But how do you understand the word "son"? Could it be that Pei Xu's son did something extraordinary that the King of England knew?
Old Master Yue glanced at the little fat man quietly, and when he saw someone, he also looked at him and smiled foolishly. He couldn't help but smile back, and then looked at Xiao Jingxian.
Although Yue Qianqiu and Xiao Jingxian had no idea how many times they had dealt with, Old Master Yue and Xiao Jingxian had never met alone. At this time, their eyes were in conflict, and there seemed to be lightning in the void. In a moment, the two of them turned their eyes away.
The condescending emperor took all this. He looked at the back of Pei Xu's head for a long time, and then sighed softly: "Pei has been an official for generations. The Self-Defense Dynasty has been a prominent family. In the early years of this dynasty, he started his career from Taizu and made great achievements. However, in recent days, chaos has emerged one after another. It is really shameful for the reputation of his family. Pei Qing will retire and clean up his home. Don't let such incredible things happen again."
Speaking of this, the emperor paused slightly and suddenly shouted in a deep voice: "Shen Zheng, Pei Hui's case, Pei Hui's daughter's case, and the strange assassin's assassin's case, and the strange assassination of the King of Jin's Mansion, I'll leave it to you!"
Seeing that the lean old man with gray hair had already left the list, thinking that the Wude Department would interfere in this matter again, the civil and military officials immediately made a buzzing discussion. However, Shen Zheng, who stood up, bowed as if no one was around, and said, "I will accept the order."
He finally waited for this great opportunity. The Yue family could not take advantage of the opportunity of the Pei family's downfall to obtain the greatest benefits! The emperor must have thought so that he would leave these things to him for investigation!
He found that the secret matter that his son had been involved in was not included. Although he was ordered to retire, Pei Xu quietly breathed a sigh of relief. However, after he stood up with a desperate apology, he was about to take Yue Qianqiu's inventory of his property in public, and he was about to make public the matters given by Xiao Jingxian. Before leaving, he avenged a revenge on Mr. Yue, but he did not expect the emperor to say something again.
"Yesterday, Qianqiu caused a lot of trouble in Jinling City. I'm afraid everyone in the court knows it now. He made a fortune of 400,000 or 500,000 yuan at once?"
As the emperor said, he took out a memorial from his sleeve and smiled and handed it to Chen Wuliang beside him: "Qianqiu is young, but he is very good at writing articles. This memorial is sincere and expresses the sincerity of King Jin clearly. However, King Jin still regards me as an outsider too much. Why did he use Qianqiu's hand to offer all the industries to me? I am not short of money. When the King of Jin comes to a big expense, I borrow flowers to offer Buddha and give them all back to you."
The official who was holding the impeachment memorial in his sleeve was very gloating, and the officials who were planning to wait and see for a while were even more gloating. But last night he had already submitted the memorial to the point of attacking the Yue family's grandparents and grandsons, and was stunned.
