shark [rebirth]

Pei Heng was sullen, but still reached out and patted the little emperor on the back, lifted the little emperor to stand in front of him, looked him up and down, with Xu Jin beside him, discerning with piercing eyes: "I've lost a lot of weight."

Pei Huan smiled at him, his expression was rare in the capital, with a trace of innocence: "I was ill for a while, and gradually recovered after leaving Beijing."

There was not a single servant in the courtyard, and two tall and straight young men were guarding the porch. Pei Heng saw that they were warriors from the Qingyu Temple in plain clothes. It seemed that the venue had been cleared in advance, and the little emperor's whereabouts were very secretive.

The three of them entered the house, warriors were different from servants, Pei Heng was not used to ordering them to serve tea and water, so he specially called Ming Wangfu and his servants to enter the courtyard to serve tea.

The courtyard was so quiet that the sound of birdsong was clear and melodious. Pei Huan's delicate and beautiful eyebrows and eyes were behind the mist of tea.

"Lu Juanqing has returned to Beijing. For the time being, he and Wen Ge will be in charge of the capital. Lu Juanqing will bring [-] Jiangzhou troops. He will hold the capital temporarily and ask the palace not to hold a funeral." Pei Huan said, "Chengyin, we I didn't mean to hide it from you, Wen Ge and Lu Juanqing later found out that someone in the palace was playing tricks, and if I don't leave Beijing, I'm afraid I really won't be able to live."

Pei Heng's heart skipped a beat, and he frowned and said, "I still can't find out the reason so far? Food and living have all been handed over to the Third Palace Secretary. Even if you practice sorcery, you can't escape Wen Ge's check. Is someone more intelligent than the national teacher?"

Pei Huan smiled helplessly, and said: "This guess was put forward by Lu Juanqing. After ruling out all possibilities, the rest is the real inside story. Wen Ge tried to send me out of the palace secretly, and lived in the outer suburbs of Gyeonggi for two years. My God, I really got sicker, so I made this decision, no matter what, save my life first, Lu Juanqing said, saying that it is best to come to you at this time."

Xu Jin thought for a while after hearing this, and said bluntly, "Your Majesty is still softening his heart."

Pei Heng didn't say yes or no, and he was confused when he was concerned. He was still thinking about how much A Huan had lost in the past few days, at least he lost more than ten catties.

Hearing Xu Jin's words, Pei Huan was taken aback for a moment, and then smiled wryly: "You're right, the people in the Third Palace Division monitor each other, and there will definitely be no problem. The problem must be with the people around me. These days, Those who can come into contact with me are people who can't be trusted. If I am cruel enough, I should find an excuse to check them from beginning to end. All suspicious people should go to prison, but I... ...I'd rather hide in the distance like this than write the secret edict myself."

"Would it be your fault?" Pei Heng became more protective, seeing that everything is good for Ah Huan, as long as he is safe and sound, let alone escaping, even if he doesn't want to be an emperor and wants to travel around the world, he immediately took the lead in supporting him, " Now the suspects are several people in the palace, as well as important officials in the court and Mingde Palace's close servants who have served His Majesty for many years. No matter who you suspect, it is difficult to deal with it. Since Your Majesty discussed this plan with Wen Ge and General Lu, he will follow suit. Just do it, don’t think about it.”

Xu Jin is getting a bit pissed off. Today, Pei Heng's sympathy and joy are all because of the little emperor, and he was also sad for nothing, so he didn't want to let the little emperor relax easily. Yun Danfeng said lightly: "Anyway, as long as If it is found out, His Majesty will have to personally order that person to be dealt with, it will be a matter of time to be sad, His Majesty wants to open it up."

Pei Huan was poked at the sore spot, leaned back in the chair weakly, and took a pitiful daze for a while before recovering, hesitatingly said: "Actually, Gu still thought about it, Gu died, and Sun Yong was charged with the crime of treason." Sit tighter, and Jiangnan will deal with it ruthlessly."

Pei Heng didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "The emperor has made up his mind to kill Sun's party, so I will follow suit."

"With the humerus of the imperial court, Gu Cai will not be in a difficult position." Pei Huan was very moved, "This mess still needs to be cleaned up by us, it's hard work."

The corner of Pei Heng's mouth twitched, and he said: "Your Majesty, you don't have to worry about it, even if you are recuperating in Jiangnan during this time."

The little emperor's face was full of relief, and his expression was cunning like a pretty little fox: "Okay."

Pei Heng turned his head and ordered his subordinates to prepare pastries for lunch, and explained dozens of precautions in one breath, Xu Jin's face was full of black lines, children are used to it!

Pei Heng thought about going to Jingyuan, and asked Pei Huan before leaving: "Your Majesty, I wonder how Lan Ya is?"

Pei Huan said: "The imperial concubine has talked with me in detail, and Gu promised her that after the dust settles, she will be sent out of the palace, and she will change her name and surname to live a comfortable life. If Lanya is a boy, Gu is willing to become a righteous brother with her, then His temper is really cool."

Pei Heng laughed, Lan Ya is indeed a heroine, she is more unruly than Rou Zhang Di Ji, if Sun Yongshang hadn't obstructed her on the wedding day, Lan Ya would have worshiped the little emperor long ago.

Xu Jin and Pei Heng turned back to the garden, they left without saying goodbye at first, but now they returned quietly, Liu Sijing was relieved to see them: "Your Highness, Cao Min is feeling anxious, if Your Highness thinks this elegant gathering should be called Stop, Caomin immediately ordered to go down."

The news of the national funeral spread to the local area, originally everything should be done according to the rules, as long as the rules are not written, no one can control them if they want to eat, drink and have fun, but with the prince here, Liu Sijing can't handle it properly.

"That's not necessary." Pei Heng said without emotion, "I didn't break any of the rules by holding the Gathering."

Liu Sijing took this reassurance, and as soon as his mind settled down, he suddenly realized that he had neglected something fatal.

Subconsciously, he wanted to look around - he thought of Han Qi.

Pei Heng raised his eyes, and his long and narrow peach eyes were extremely piercing: "There is only one thing I want to ask Mr. Liu. In the auction in the morning, 4 taels of silver flowed. Whose account did it go to?"

Cold sweat broke out on the back of Liu Sijing's back, he suddenly realized that the cleverness of the host and guest could not save him this time, Pei Heng's straightforward questioning instantly tore apart the arrogance he had secretly bred over the years.

He was totally wrong, thinking that there was still room for maneuver, the court just wanted to choose a victim between him and Han Qi, as long as Pei Heng and Yan Yunhou's minds were tilted a little bit, they would be able to retreat this time. .

But everything changed in the news of the national funeral. What is the chaos in the south of the Yangtze River compared to the death of the emperor?Facing the banner of the Qing emperor is enough to wipe out all the remaining members of the Sun family, and he, Liu Sijing and Han Qi, are probably just ants in the first wave!

Liu Sijing's thoughts turned sharply, his eyes suddenly fixed on Xu Jin, and then he respectfully bowed to Pei Heng, and said quickly in a low voice: "My lord, a grass-roots businessman, many things are involuntary, and I would like to confess to the lord. I beg your lord to forgive me."

Pei Heng looked at him indifferently, and Liu Sijing immediately said: "Caomin has heard of something called 'Jia Xiu Ji'."

Pei Heng clenched his fingers tightly in his sleeves, Xu Jin was listening clearly, and squinted his eyes to look at Liu Sijing, Liu Sijing knew there was something going on, so he hurriedly came over and said: "The grass people heard that that thing is..."

Before he could finish speaking, a sharp black arrow shot across the sky. Xu Jin subconsciously pulled Pei Heng into his arms to protect him. The arrow instantly pierced Liu Sijing's throat. fell to the ground.

"Kill... kill!"

"Express officer!"

When the surrounding guests saw this scene, they fled out in fright.

Pei Heng immediately stepped forward to check, an arrow pierced through his throat, so he was naturally hopeless. He tried to listen to what Liu Sijing struggled to say in the end, but the words were blurred and he didn't say anything.

Pei Heng let go of Liu Sijing, and the Xuanjia Guards in the dark appeared with his gestures. He ordered in a deep voice: "Seal the Jingyuan, arrest Han Qi, and all officials who have contacts with Han Qi and Liu Sijing's tent, the six-rank Take all the above into custody, act quickly!"

Xuanjiawei left quickly after taking the order, and the garden was full of ghosts crying and wolves howling. The guests found that they couldn't get out, thinking it was a grand feast, and the news of the national funeral came in the morning, everyone looked like frightened quails, except for some literati Keep calm, not afraid of the shadow slanting.

Pei Heng ignored the chickens flying around in the garden, Yan Yunhou suddenly walked over with Young Master Gu in his arms, with a gloomy expression on his usually handsome and suave face.

"What's going on?" Pei Heng saw Master Gu's limply hanging arm, obviously unconscious, "Xu Jin, look at him."

Xu Jin tacitly stepped forward to check Young Master Gu in Yan Yunhou's arms, and then looked gloomy: "He is cursed, please go to southern Xinjiang as soon as possible, and within five days, let him bathe his whole body in the divine spring until he wakes up. "

"Who could it be?" Yan Yunhou's eyes were sharp.

"I talked about this curse with Master Wen Ge before. It is a means of the southern border royal family." Xu Jin looked at Master Gu's closed eyes. The young boy's face was half hidden in Yan Yunhou's chest, and his breathing was weak and slow.

Pei Heng turned his head and told his subordinates: "Prepare for Marquis Yan Yun."

He looked at Yan Yunhou again, and said: "Go back first, the most important thing is to save people."

Pei Heng wanted to tell something else, but he still didn't say anything. Instead, it was Yan Yunhou who said: "The late emperor is gone, and Ah Huan is his only flesh and blood. Besides, the world has changed over the years, and others may not miss the late emperor's affection... Even The same goes for the Queen Mother."

Pei Heng frowned slightly, and said: "Although the queen mother is from the Sun family, she is also the biological mother of A Huan."

Marquis Yan Yun remained silent, and then said: "It's just a plan for the worst."

Xuan Jiawei reported that the car was ready, and he left with Young Master Gu.

In just half a day, after the death knell rang, Yangzhou City was in chaos. A big cleansing started from the gardens on the outskirts of the city and spread to the prosperous Guangling. Assassinations and arrests were staged at the same time.

Pei Heng walked away from Jingyuan slowly, clutching a list in his hand, all those who had serious connections with the Sun family and those who might take advantage of the chaos to stir up the situation in the south of the Yangtze River were all on it.These people will all be imprisoned before noon, their homes will be ransacked before dark, and they will be sent to Gyeonggi one after another ten days later.

His trip was for this purpose, but this was just the beginning, how did Liu Sijing know about Jia Xiuji?Xu Jin has never talked about Jiaxiu's halberd with outsiders.

The uneasiness in his heart gradually increased. A Huan and Xu Jin seemed to be being targeted.

"Don't worry." Xu Jin saw his worry, "It doesn't matter if Jiaxiu doesn't have the halberd, as long as you are here."

When Pei Heng returned to Shao Garden with him, all turmoil was isolated, and the shade of dense flower clusters formed a long scroll along with the winding corridors and flowing water.

A tall ancient tree in the courtyard blocked the sunlight, Pei Heng closed the door, and the room was dark, Xu Jin was about to say something to him when Pei Heng pushed him against the door.

Pei Heng hooked his neck, looked at Xu Jin through the dimming light, and the breathing of the two suddenly heated up.

"Chengyin..." Xu Jin was a little dazed, and felt that he couldn't hold it anymore.

Suddenly someone reported outside, Pei Heng shouted: "Wait!" Then he turned his head and kissed Xu Jin lightly on the lips: "After we're done, let's go back to Yunfu Sea Territory to live for a while."

Xu Jin's heart beat faster, and he wrapped his palm around Pei Heng's black hair, bowed his head and kissed back: "It's all up to you."

Pei Heng smiled at him, with a soft charm in his peach eyes, all the troubles in his heart were swept away, and he opened the door to discuss matters in the front hall.
