Pei Hui had breakfast with Cheng Jieyi.

The morning meal is light, boiled thick millet porridge, crisp side dishes, goose breast smoked duck, and four snacks made of cold cake, white jade cake, jujube cake and yam cake.

Cheng Jieyi took small bites, the dishes this morning were much more appetizing than last night's supper.

Seeing Cheng Jieyi eating well, Pei Hui also nodded in satisfaction.

It's just that Cheng Jieyi was eating, when he saw a few Jinyi guards in silver and white uniforms poking their heads at the gate of the outer courtyard, with anxious expressions on their faces.

Seeing Cheng Jieyi's distracted gaze, Pei Hui's gaze became colder. He turned his head to look at the courtyard gate, and those Jinyi guards immediately avoided to the side and did not come out again.

"What's wrong?" Pei Hui looked at Cheng Jieyi.

"...Is the governor still busy?" Cheng Jieyi asked.

"Probably." Pei Hui said ambiguously.

"Then, the governor doesn't need to accompany me...I'm done eating." Cheng Jieyi hurriedly finished his last bite, and wiped his mouth with a cloth towel beside him.

"That's not a big deal," Pei Hui chuckled, singing like a chord, "Young master, stick to the body."

Pei Hui took Cheng Jieyi's hand and led him behind the screen.

"I'm going out today, and I'll be home in the evening at the latest."

Pei Hui seemed to think of something again, and said again.

"If the young master is bored, I can call the little boy to play with you, or take a walk in the mansion."

Facing Pei Hui's request, of course Cheng Jieyi would not refute it, he said yes "obediently", Pei Hui gave him a deep look, and brought Cheng Jieyi to the vanity mirror in the room.

"Little son looks good with hair loose, but this look should only be seen with close relatives and close people. If you want to go out later, you should tie your hair up."

Cheng Jieyi could barely put on clothes, but he was not very good at combing his hair.

Pei Hui picked up the comb with a smile, and combed Cheng Jieyi's hair that grew longer in keeping with the times when he came to this plane.

Cheng Jieyi's hair is well grown, fine and soft like silk satin.

Pei Hui's movements were light and quick, and he combed Cheng Jieyi's long hair in the blink of an eye, and tied it into a high ponytail with a red gold-painted headband.

Although it was time to comb the hair in a bun, Pei Hui felt that the red headband mixed with the black hair and hanging on the young man's shoulders looked as beautiful as flowers.

Cheng Jieyi looked at Pei Hui who was smiling at the corner of his mouth in the mirror, and thought that Pei Hui actually slapped him all night last night, it was really unbelievable.

Could it be that his previous judgment was wrong, Pei Hui is actually the most enthusiastic and kind-hearted person?

……how is this possible.

Cheng Jieyi saw the flash of desire in Pei Hui's eyes in the mirror, he pursed his lips and asked.

"The governor is so kind to me, how should I repay the governor?"

"Is that good?"

Pei Hui rolled his eyes with a smile, then he seemed to understand something, lowered his head next to Cheng Jieyi's ear, looked at the snow-skinned young man in the mirror and said softly.

"So, you didn't sleep last night?"

Cheng Jieyi was startled, Pei Hui straightened up again, and patted Cheng Jieyi's shoulder comfortingly.

"Young master is afraid when you first come here. If you remember where your home is, how about I send you home?"

Cheng Jieyi stared blankly at Pei Hui, then shook his head slightly.

"I don't remember where my family is. I have been in Duoyuefang since I was a child."

Pei Hui lowered his eyelashes slightly, and those crow-like eyelashes trembled slightly, as if to relieve Cheng's sadness.

He picked up Cheng Jieyi and put him on the soft couch where Cheng Jieyi fell asleep yesterday.

"It's okay, it doesn't matter if you don't remember."

Pei Hui stroked Cheng Jieyi's hair, as if to comfort him, he fetched books, snacks, and hugged Cheng Jieyi on the soft couch.

Cheng Jieyi also sat obediently, he was wearing Pei Hui's clothes, surrounded by Pei Hui's things, when he looked up at people, he was even more obedient than the royal rabbit in the palace.

"Go and get busy, Dudu, I'll wait for you to come back." Cheng Jieyi smiled like a piece of cake.

"So, please wait for me, young master."

After Pei Hui smiled, he stood up and walked around the screen to leave.

The smile on Cheng Jieyi's face didn't let go until Pei Hui walked out of the courtyard.

Then he collapsed on the couch, caressing his beating heart.

"One word can reveal the truth."

Pei Hui's mind is like a demon.

Such a person can't get what he wants, and if his desire is satisfied, what else does he want?

Cheng Jieyi looked at the brightly colored orioles outside the window, and thought about going for a walk in the yard, but when he was about to step over the threshold, he realized something was wrong.

Cheng Jieyi looked down at his bare feet on the carpet.

Pei Hui gave him fancy clothes and delicious food, but did not give him a pair of shoes and socks.

Jin Yiwei, who was waiting outside the courtyard gate, followed behind Pei Hui and handed him the booklet in his hand.

Pei Hui glanced at it before taking it into his sleeve, as if belatedly aware of it.

"It makes the Holy Majesty wait a long time."

"Someone has already entered the palace and reported to the governor that he is still being interrogated by the Zhenfu Division." Jin Yiwei on the side quickly replied.

Pei nodded back, left the gate of the mansion, rode on the horse that had been prepared, and ran towards the palace.

"Doctor Pei is still in the future?"

A man wearing the same red robe as Pei Hui's and embroidered with a golden unicorn was sitting in the ear room of Lord Hou Jiansheng.

He was about fifty years old. Although his face was wrinkled, his hair was still completely black. Even at this age, his facial features were still handsome and his physique was quite strong.

"Captain Rong, I heard that Commander Pei has already entered the palace gate."

The little lady who was waiting outside the door heard Rong Fujun's words, and immediately bowed in to answer.

Rong Fujun raised his head and glanced at the Western clock placed in the ear room, and after a while, he chuckled lightly.

"But it doesn't matter after waiting for an hour."

Cold sweat immediately fell on the little eunuch's forehead, he didn't even dare to breathe, until Mr. Rong let him go out, he kept his bowed posture and withdrew bit by bit.

When the little eunuch went out, he saw the old eunuch master standing under the eaves in the distance. He still had a smile on his face, but he scolded him half to death in his heart.

Knowing that there are two governors who are going to face the saint today, the old man ran fast and pushed him out!

Who doesn't know that Rong Fujun is a man of the Holy One, and Pei Hui is...

The little lady listened to the sound of footsteps in the distance, and at a glance she saw Pei Hui striding forward in a red robe embroidered with a gold unicorn.

It is...the empress's nephew.

"Captain Rong! Wait a long time!"

When Pei Hui walked into the ear room, he bowed his hands to Rong Fu Jun, Rong Fu Jun was angry, so he just sat and accepted it.Anyway, he is old enough to be Pei Hui's grandfather, so what if he receives a gift.

Pei Hui didn't care too much, he raised his hand and stretched out the door.

"I'm afraid the Holy Majesty is in a hurry, so let the governor please."

Pei stretched out his hand back, revealing a corner of his sleeve.

The corner of Rong Fujun's eyes twitched, he knew that Pei Hui might have found something in the interrogation, and he regretted the outrage just now.

"Your Majesty knows that Dudu Pei is handling the case at the Zhenfu Division all night, how can he blame him?" Rong Fu Jun immediately stood up with a smile, and went out with Pei Hui.

"If the Holy Majesty wants to ask, it's because I'm not doing my job well. It's not as good as Captain Pei's handling of the case."

"Yes."

Pei replied with a smile, regardless of how ugly Rong Fujun's face was in an instant, who just wanted to turn the situation around.

But no matter how he was in the outside room, Mr. Rong still restrained his expression when he entered the imperial study room, and immediately kowtowed and shouted when he entered the door.

"Your servant Fu Jun pays homage to the Holy Majesty, long live long live long live long live."

This sentence was still not finished, Rong Fujun saw the curtain tassels hanging behind the imperial study room out of the corner of his eyes, and shouted again.

"Your servant Fu Jun pays homage to the queen, a thousand years ago."

After Mr. Rong finished worshiping, Pei Hui bowed to the sage who was sitting on the imperial chair, also said long live, and greeted the queen behind the curtain.

Pei Hui does not bow down.

When the sage first met Pei Hui, he spared Pei Hui from kneeling and worshiping, so Pei Hui has never bowed to the Tian family until now.

"Chen, there is a play."

Pei Hui handed over the middle pocket of the sleeve, and a eunuch stepped forward to take the pocketbook, and handed it to the pale-faced Holy Majesty.

The curtain behind the Holy Majesty was also slightly opened by a maid with a handle of jade ruyi, so that the queen sitting behind the curtain could see what was written on the memorial.

The saint was nearly half a century old, but he spent 30 to [-] years in bed with lingering illness. The government was very heavy, and the queen was worried about the safety of the saint, so she had to listen to the government behind the curtain, so as to share the worries with the saint.

This is a popular way of saying among the people, and everyone in the government and the public will spit in private that "the hen is the morning".

But after Pei Hui took office as the governor of Jinyiwei, the private scolding disappeared.

Pei answered the questions from the Holy Majesty and the Empress one by one, with a faint smile still on his face.

"Yes, Sergeant Fei has already recruited. The fourth prince asked Sergeant Fei to bring medicine into the palace for the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, which caused the third prince to die suddenly on the spot. The Holy One and the Empress were also almost killed."

"Thanks to the protection of the Holy Majesty and the Empress, I was able to catch the real culprit."

"The rosters of the other four princes' party members have been copied and attached to the booklet, please the Holy Majesty and the Empress to decide."

……

After getting out of the imperial study room and walking up the palace road, Mr. Rong's face was already pale.

"Pei Dudu," Rong Fujun said softly, "In your roster..."

Pei Hui slowly turned his head to the side, still with that radiant look.

"Is Dudu Rong worried about your maternal ancestral family? If you are really innocent, the Holy Majesty and the Empress will decide for themselves, and we just have to obey."

"Naturally, if there is anything, Rong Dudu's character will naturally kill his relatives righteously."

After Pei Hui finished speaking, he bowed slightly to Rong Fu Jun and walked towards the palace gate.

He listened to the movement behind him as he walked, and when he heard the sound of drawing the knife out of its sheath, he smiled, but until Pei Hui got out of the palace gate and got on his horse, the expected Xiuchun knife did not stab him.

Pei Hui sighed softly, and led the horse towards the West Market.

"Why is the governor sighing?"

Next to Pei Hui was still the Jin Yiwei with a happy face and two dimples on his face.

Lu Shan has been by Pei Hui's side for nearly eight years, but he is quite aware of Pei Hui's temper, and probably he didn't get to know what happened.

"Captain Rong, you really can bear it."

After Pei Hui finished speaking, he looked at the bustling West Market in front of him, and raised his eyebrows slightly, as if he was interested.

"There are a lot of clothes and fabrics here, oh, you should also look at the rouge hairpin ring and the silver building."

There was a sudden sound of horseshoes behind him, and the two Jinyi guards Ah San and Zhao Jiu who were ordered to investigate Cheng Jieyi last night followed up.

"Commander, brothers, the guards of the city gate, the soldiers and horses, and the Taoist Temple of Yingtian Mansion, it seems that there are no young masters and young Taoists missing."

"However, it is inevitable that there will be omissions in the haste. Some brothers went to check the roster and asked the kidnapper in the alley, but there is still no news."

Pei Hui listened to their report and nodded casually.

"is it?"

Pei Hui dismounted suddenly and walked to a nearby bookstall.The stall owner was a middle-aged man, so he knew Pei Hui's identity, so he knelt down and kowtowed in fright, claiming he was wronged.

"Why are you guilty of being a thief? Are you afraid of people in business?" Lu Shan shouted impatiently.

Pei Hui picked up the story book on the outermost side of the bookstall, and stood on the busiest street in the West Market, looking at the white book.

"What's that book in the governor's hand?" Ah San nudged Zhao Jiu with her elbow.

""The Legend of the White Fox" tells the story of a beautiful fox demon repaying his kindness."

After Pei Hui finished reading the thin book, he put the book in his sleeve, gave the stall owner enough copper coins, and just got on his horse and left.

When the sun was setting and the sunset was shading the sun, Cheng Jieyi, who was sitting on the threshold outside the room, heard the commotion in the mansion.

"The governor is back—"
