119 【Sleeping】
Mr. Xi thought for a long time.
Pei Yue was already familiar with the content in the booklet. He sighed at the depth of that girl's background. She was worthy of being a descendant of the Chen family. More than ten years later, she could still extend her huge tentacles and connect with many dignitaries in Kyoto. Except for Pei Rong.
, there are also the names of many civil and military officials, and the bribes given to them through various methods over the years are stated.
Gold, silver, jewelry, beautiful women, the amount is shocking.
At the same time, Pei Yue still had two questions. One was whether the list in the booklet was complete, and the other was the woman's true intention.
Compared with the lives of ten men and this booklet, it seems that the weight is not enough. It is not that Pei Yue is cold-blooded, but that the content in it is too important.
He took out the booklet, just to see how Mr. Xi would react.
After a long time, Mr. Xi closed the book, handed it back to Pei Yue, and then said solemnly: "You cannot hand over this book directly. Judging from the contents recorded in the book, except for the few officials who know the identities of these thieves,
In addition, most of the people were dragged down by Qibao Pavilion, and they don't even know that they are providing convenience to those bandits. If you name all these people, many people in the court will definitely die. They will die.
It's not pity, but it will put you on fire."
Pei Yue breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "Then what should I do?"
Mr. Xi said slowly: "Extract the names and deeds of one or two people from it, and hand it to Shen Moyun personally. This will be enough for the sergeants who follow you to share the credit. Keep the rest to yourself and don't tell anyone until the time is right.
When the time comes, you can choose to get rid of these people, or you can use them to do something serious."
Pei Yuewei said: "I don't know who to choose."
Mr. Xi looked at him with a half-smile, and then said with some dissatisfaction: "Pei Rong's name is so conspicuous, I don't believe you can't see it."
Pei Yue scratched his head in embarrassment, knowing that his little thoughts had been seen through by the other party.
This is also a very helpless thing. After all, it was Pei Zhen who gave Mr. Xi the opportunity to display his talents. He didn't know what this middle-aged man's attitude was towards the Pei family.
Mr. Xi did not blame him, but sighed softly: "I am a teacher and a friend, so I agreed to come here. I will not interfere with the matters between you and your son, so you don't have to worry.
.It’s just that, Brother Yue, although the wife prefers her son in her heart and pretends not to notice what happened to you in those years, she has no intention of killing you after all.”
Naturally, Pei Yue would no longer act like a good grandson in front of him, and said in a deep voice: "Pei Rong and Mr. Li deserve to die, but Mr. Pei is right, Taijun Pei's crime will not lead to death."
There is a lot of room left in these words.
Mr. Xi looked at him, vaguely feeling that the young man seemed to have guessed his life experience, but his face was extremely calm, and there was no clue. He sighed softly in his heart. When he first saw Pei Yue, he felt that this young man was far better than
His peers have matured, and now he is even more aware of how rapid his progress has been.
He did not force Pei Yue to promise anything, but said in a gentle but firm manner: "The reason why Pei Rong has not dared to attack you in the mansion these years is probably because he is concerned about the existence of the wife. She asked you to come out of the mansion and came here.
I invited you here, and the meaning is self-evident. Whether it is good or bad, the decision is in your hands, and I will not make it difficult for you."
Pei Yue understood the middle-aged man's subtext, which was that no matter what he wanted to do to Dingguo Mansion, Mr. Xi would protect Taijun Pei.
This is what he must do, otherwise how will he be able to see Pei Zhen in the future?
Pei Yue was not disgusted with this. He did not hate Pei Taijun as much as he did Pei Rong.
What's more, the death of a dandy who only knew how to live in debauchery would only be used as a talking point by people in Kyoto. But if Mrs. Dingguo, who was over 60 years old and usually quite famous, died unexpectedly, Pei Yue could imagine what would happen with his buttocks.
Huge waves.
"Sir, I am not the kind of fool who is blinded by hatred." Pei Yue said seriously.
No matter what happens in the future, Mr. Xi was extremely kind to him, and Pei Yue must remember this favor.
Mr. Xi smiled with emotion and said softly: "Since you are willing to call me sir, I will not let anyone hurt you again."
Pei Yue looked at his extremely solemn eyes and couldn't help but feel a little confused. Why does a person like Mr. Xi, who is so talented and has reached the top, have to live so hard? Those masters recorded in legends are all happy.
If you just do whatever you want, how can you be like Mr. Xi who is bound by all kinds of constraints, making it difficult to fly freely between heaven and earth?
Seemingly knowing what he was thinking, Mr. Xi stood up and said: "Being concerned is not necessarily a bad thing. You are still young and you will understand in the future. Let's go. I heard that you are coming back today. Sister-in-law Qi started preparing this early in the morning.
The table is served with wine."
Pei Yue smiled and said, "I want to have a good drink with my husband today."
A man must keep his word. Pei Yue did not refuse the toasts from the teenagers in the front yard, and even toasted many glasses to Mr. Xi. In the end, he gradually lost consciousness.
Commonly known as fragments.
I don't know how long it took, but when he slowly woke up from a splitting headache, he looked at the familiar roof above, and it took him a long time to come back to his senses. He returned to the bedroom, and now he was lying on the bed, with a candle burning in the room.
Candles, the candlelight is a bit dim, it must be dark night outside.
It's mid-October now, and it's already very cold at night, but Pei Yue feels that his body is very warm, even a little hot.
There is only a thin quilt covering the body. Maybe it is because he drank too much wine, so it is unbearably hot?
Pei Yue thought like this, and then slowly realized something was wrong.
It seemed that I was not alone in the warm quilt.
He raised his head stiffly, and then saw a figure huddled next to him.
The touch of the body finally reached the brain, and a petite body clung to him tightly, with two legs draped over his body in an inconspicuous manner.
After all, Pei Yue was not a young child in his previous life. After experiencing a brief brain freeze, he quickly reacted and said in a dumbfounded voice: "Taohua, what are you doing?"
Who else could this person who was sleeping soundly next to him be besides the little maid?
Taohua slowly opened her sleepy eyes and met Pei Yue's joking eyes. Her little face instantly turned into a piece of red cloth and was buried directly in Pei Yue's chest. She hugged him hard with her hands and feet like an octopus, making a loud sound.
He said authentically: "I will sleep with the young master!"
"I didn't let you sleep with me!"
"Isn't it normal for a maid to warm the young master's bed?"
"Who told you that?"
"I heard it said before in the mansion."
"The bed warmer is just to warm up the quilt in advance. I don't want you to sleep here all the time. Besides, it's only October, what kind of bed do you warm? Master, do I look that weak?"
"Master, sooner or later there will be a maid to warm your bed."
When Taohua said this, her voice trembled slightly.
Pei Yue suddenly woke up.
Although I love Taohua very much, the things that the little maid has experienced recently are different, and she firmly left her mother, whom she had just met, and insisted on returning to herself. She must be suffering from deep suffering in her heart.
At this time, her mind was actually very fragile, after all, she was just a maid.
Her future depends entirely on Pei Yue's attitude.
As a result, it is inevitable to worry about gains and losses, which is why she behaved like this "unbridled" tonight.
When he thought of this, Pei Yue stopped teasing him. He patted the little maid on the back of her head gently and said, "Just warm the bed. Don't hold me down. How can I sleep now?"
"oh."
Taohua obediently moved away from Pei Yue and leaned next to him, like a timid cat.
Pei Yue had no choice but to put his hand around her shoulders and comfort her uneasy mood.
Gradually, the little maid fell into a deep sleep.
As if unconsciously, she pressed closer and closer to Pei Yue.
Although Pei Yue is only fourteen years old and Tao Hua is only fifteen, it is well known that girls generally develop earlier.
After a long time, Pei Yue felt no sleepiness at all, and his head seemed to be getting more and more awake.
He stared helplessly at the roof.
If it wasn't for a poor health, who would be willing to endure this kind of torture?
