Chapter 2238: Being lazy and taking shortcuts, haste rather than speed(2/2)

I was fishing on the water's edge, and then I seemed to catch a big fish...』

While he was talking, a carp jumped up from the pond, and then fell down again, splashing in the water.

"Fish? When you were a child?" Pei Di's memory was awakened, and he seemed to remember that such an incident had indeed happened, "It seems that there was such a thing... Why did the head of the house suddenly think of this?"

Pei Mao waved his hand, "Don't call me the head of the family... I think it's more intimate to be brothers..."

"That would be disrespectful...Second brother..." Pei Di cupped his hands and said.

"Hahaha, third brother!" Pei Mao looked up to the sky and smiled.

Everything is like going back to my childhood, but something is different.

The two of them sat down in the small pavilion in the backyard.

Servants brought tea and cakes.

Pei Di smiled, but his eyes were still cold, "My second brother asked me to come, could it be that he just invited me to drink tea?"

Pei Mao smiled bitterly, picked up the tea bowl and took a sip, "Just now, the hussar sent me to the festival hall..."

Pei Di couldn't help but stretched his neck and tilted his head slightly, as if turning his ears slightly towards Pei Mao.

Pei Mao lowered his head, seemingly unaware of Pei Di's little movements. He just held the tea bowl and said slowly: "Third brother...Actually, I have never figured out why you did this, but just now...I suddenly figured it out."

Already..."

"..." Pei Di's face twitched, "I don't understand what you mean..."

"I thought before that you wouldn't go too far..." Pei Mao drank tea, then looked at the small pond in the distance, "After all, we are still a family. If Mr. Pei falls, no one will benefit...

But you don’t seem to be worried about this, so I’m a little confused... But, you just gave me the answer..."

Pei Li was startled for a moment, then forced a smile and said, "Second brother, why can't I understand what you are saying..."

"It doesn't matter if you don't understand..." Pei Mao put down his tea bowl, looked at Pei Di and said, "Listen to me and you will understand... Those who intercepted General Hussar on the road, as well as those who arrived at the government office today

Are those people actually arranged by you? 』

"No! I don't! It has nothing to do with me!" Pei said no with one click.

Pei Mao laughed, not caring about Pei Di's denial at all, but continued: "To be honest, I underestimated you before, but this time... Haha, it's true... By the way, third brother, you

What exactly did you agree with Zhang Shizhong?"

"What?!" Pei Di almost stood up, then suppressed it, and the smile on his face disappeared, "What on earth are you talking about?! I have no idea what you are talking about..."

Pei Di really wanted to turn around and leave, but he was worried that if he didn't understand some things, there might be problems with the subsequent arrangements, so he suppressed the uneasiness in his heart, stared at Pei Mao, and then hoped that Pei Mao would say something.

What can I do to help him adjust his subsequent plans?

Pei Mao looked at Pei Di, then withdrew his gaze, and then turned his gaze to the pond in the courtyard, "Is this Zhang Shizhong... I guess he is dissatisfied with just catching some small fish and shrimps... He wants to catch a big fish."

, and in this pond, the biggest fish...hehe, who else could it be?"

Pei Di had a gloomy face.

"So Zhang Shizhong must be happy when you send it to the door..." Pei Mao said with a smile, "And what's just right is that Zhang Shizhong also lost power in Guanzhong because of the previous incident... As an official in the court, he must have foreign aid.

Stable, otherwise it will be like a tree without roots... So Zhang Shizhong promised that if he could catch me, he would cover something for you and help you take power in the east of the river... Yes or no?"

Pei Di's brows furrowed tightly.

"...By the way, you must be resentful that I just gave you a filial piety, and it didn't help you, right?" Pei Mao didn't mean to wait for Pei Di's answer, and the topic suddenly changed.

, ran to another aspect, "But do you know there is a sentence..."

"What are you talking about?" Pei Mao said what he hated the most, and Pei Mao couldn't help but asked with a slightly sarcastic tone, "Is it possible that the master of the family still has something to hide?"

Pei Mao smiled and said, "It's hard to talk about hidden things... Zi Xia was the governor of Ju Fu, and asked Confucius to govern... Confucius said, "If you don't have a desire for haste, you won't see small gains. If you want haste, you won't achieve anything. If you see small gains, you won't achieve anything.

"The big thing is not going to happen"...Does the third brother think so?"

"Haste makes waste?" Pei Di muttered and repeated, and then the muscles on his face started to beat, "What does haste make waste?" A certain person has endured hardship since he was young until he is now nearly 60 years old.

What does haste make waste? It’s so ridiculous! It seems that the head of the family just wants to scold Yu today... Haha, I’m sorry for not accompanying you! 』

"Third brother!" Pei Mao stopped Pei Di, "I'm just saying... about today's matter, haste makes waste..."

"..." Pei Di turned around and asked, "What do you mean?"

"You want me dead, you want to take power, and you want to leave some means to manipulate Zhang Shizhong, and you are worried that Zhang Shizhong will turn his back on me... You even want to see how I feel when I am cornered before I die.

You are so embarrassed... Haha, isn't it? You have thought of everything, you have thought of everything..." Pei Mao said with a smile, "You want everything... It's a pity, it's a pity, you are the only one who wants it.

I just forgot one thing..."

"..." Pei Di was silent for a moment, "What happened?"

Pei Mao shook his head and sighed, "You shouldn't try to deceive the hussar..."

"You...you..." Pei Di's expression suddenly changed, and then he couldn't finish his words and walked away in a hurry.

Pei Mao shook his head, sighed slightly, and then shouted loudly: "Here comes someone! Stop him!"

Pei Li ignored Pei Mao's shouts at all, because he knew that most of the county government officials were his people, and with the manpower guards he brought today, there was no way Pei Mao wanted to keep him.

Impossible! The only thing Pei Di is afraid of is making too much noise and alerting the guards of the hussar general!

Damn it!

Why did Pei Mao choose to live here?!

Could it be that Pei Mao had already sensed something was wrong at that time and knew that I had secretly planted people in his home?

Impossible, absolutely impossible!

Now we only need to leave here, and we still have a chance! All we need to do is find Zhang Shi and kill Pei Mao with all the evidence...

Pei Di was thinking as he walked away in a hurry. From the corner of his eye, he saw several of his guards standing aside. He turned around and said angrily: "Why are you still standing there?! Guards... uh uh..."

Several elite cavalry guards emerged from the shadows of the corridor, and behind Pei Li's trembling guard, there were also two or three elite cavalry guards standing.

Pei Lai's legs softened, he staggered, and immediately collapsed to the ground...

Two elite hussar guards came up, pushed Pei Di down, and tied him up.

Pei Mao slowly walked out of the backyard, cupped his hands towards the elite hussar guards and said, "Fortunately, I have lived up to my command... This thief... will be handed over to the master..."

The elite hussar guard nodded, then smiled, "I didn't expect you to be brave enough to bring it to your door yourself... let's go!"

Pei Mao smiled bitterly. He didn't expect Pei Di to hate him so much that he would take the risk to see it with his own eyes...

Originally, Pei Mao thought it would take some extra effort.

"Ah, this, please wait a moment..." Pei Mao suddenly thought of something and called to the hussar guard who was escorting Pei Di and was about to leave. Then he took two steps and arrived in front of Pei Di. He looked at Pei Di and sighed.

, "Third brother... the fish we caught when we were young... was indeed dead... I was afraid that you would be sad at the time, so I lied to you and said I was leaving..."
