Pei Yu didn't believe it, he knew exactly what kind of person Bai Ning was.

"You know what to ask." Bai Ning didn't know what to think, and the corner of his mouth curled up.

Pei Yu relaxed a little, "I know why you're angry with me, but I can't do anything to Zhou Yan yet, the situation is urgent, what should I do, in case Zhou's family rebels... "The following words don't need to be said to know what they mean.

He never expected the Zhou family to help him, he just hoped that they would not turn against him at a critical moment, so he kept holding Zhou Yan.

Pei Yu knew that the reason why Bai Ning was assassinated and he couldn't deal with those people could only be attributed to one reason - he was not strong enough, and because he was not strong enough, he was always under the control of others and could not help himself.

Only if he is strong enough can he get rid of all this and get what he wants, so he gritted his teeth and endured everything, and because of this he felt sorry for Bai Ning.

But he hopes that Bai Ning can understand him and know his difficulties. If he gets everything in the future, Bai Ning will be the one to share everything with him.

Bai Ning: "So you let the Zhou family go."

His words made Pei Yu's face look ugly, "I'm sorry, I'm too weak now, the Zhou family really can't move." After he finished speaking, he was very flustered, "Brother, I want to become strong, I want to be strong enough to control my body destiny,"

If he was strong enough back then, he wouldn't have to be forced to marry someone he didn't love, and he and Bai Ning wouldn't be like familiar strangers like they are now.

Bai Ning looked directly into his eyes, with a trace of disappointment in his eyes, but soon he smiled: "You have grown up, and you know what you want."

Pei Yu frowned. He always knew what he wanted. All he wanted was Bai Ning. Everything he did now was to get Bai Ning, but he couldn't tell Bai Ning.

"Senior Brother, I'm sorry." He apologized again, and did not explain anymore, he believed that Bai Ning would understand him in the future.

"You don't need to apologize anymore, I understand." He paused, "But you can't be strong now."

Pei Yu was surprised: "Why?"

Bai Ning: "Because you don't know how to use your own advantages, you have such a powerful Yue family, but you reject them, how can he trust you and help you."

Pei Yu pursed her lips and did not speak. Seeing this, Bai Ning continued, "Don't forget the purpose of your marriage with Zhou Yan. If they don't help you, then what's the point of your marriage with her?"

Pei Yu's heart brightened. Since he and Zhou Yan are already husband and wife, he can't change this now, so why doesn't he take advantage of this?With the full support of the Zhou family, the road will be much smoother than he originally expected.

"Brother, don't you mind if they assassinate you?" Pei Yu asked cautiously.

Bai Ning sneered, picked up the teacup and said indifferently: "It's impossible to say that you don't mind, but I can understand their behavior. After all, there are indeed some misunderstandings between you and me. Just explain it to them. .”

How could it be possible not to mind, what Bai Ning is doing now is taking revenge on them, but the effect is not visible for a while.

It's just that Pei Yu's face was hurt. He knew what Bai Ning meant, and Bai Ning asked him to push everything to a misunderstanding. After all, Zhou Yan didn't see what the two of them did. After that, I always thought about that.She was arrogant and couldn't stand being betrayed, so she directly took action and wanted to kill Bai Ning to take revenge on Pei Yu.

So is this all a "misunderstanding"?

It was because of knowing this that Pei Yu felt uncomfortable. Bai Ning defined everything that happened between them as a "misunderstanding", and wanted to push him away completely and let him love Zhou Yan.

Is he thinking of him, or is he too ruthless, Pei Yu sneered in his heart, it doesn't matter, now he will use any means to achieve his goal, so he decided to do what Bai Ning said.

Pei Yu: "I understand, brother, thank you for your suggestion."

Bai Ning just nodded, "It's good that you understand." For some reason, his eyes were a bit bitter.

The two of them had their own thoughts, and the jade plate was boring at the moment. Bai Ning wanted to eat a few bites and leave, but someone knocked on the door of the private room.

The person who came was Ye Xihua, his face was a little anxious, he must have asked Pei Yu for something important.

"Your Highness is not well." Sure enough, he said this as soon as he opened his mouth.

Pei Yu had never seen him in such a hurry, so she immediately asked, "What's the matter?"

After he finished asking, Ye Xihua didn't answer, but looked at Bai Ning, asking Pei Yu if he should avoid Bai Ning.

Pei Yu naturally understood what he meant, "Shizi Bai is mine, so don't avoid him, just tell me if you have anything to say."

Ye Xihua nodded: "Fang An has been arrested and will be sent to Dali Temple soon."

"What?" Pei Yu asked in surprise, "How did you get arrested so well?"

This struggle for the throne is a waste of manpower and material resources. Whether it is to support people or manage the business up and down, money is needed, and one of the sources of income for their side is this Fang An, who is transferred to the salt transport envoy. The envoy is in charge of the salt tax. This position is not only important but also comes with money.

If this side falls down, they will lose a source of income, which will have a considerable impact on them.

Ye Xihua didn't talk nonsense and directly explained the cause and effect: "After the last murder case in the Shangshu Mansion was closed, Liu De investigated the grievances between Guo Xun and the maid Yulan of the Shangshu Mansion. five years ago.

Guo Xun was an imperial envoy before, and went to Fang An's place for inspection. During the period, Fang An fell in love with a woman. A lot was abolished, but the woman refused to follow, so Fang An forcefully tied her up, and the woman committed suicide.

The girl's parents came to look for her. Fang An ordered someone to beat them up and drive them away, but the subordinates didn't know how serious they were, so they beat the couple to death. Fang An worried that this would affect his official career, so he concealed it by means. , and the dead couple had two other children, Yulan and Yulan's younger brother.

The two had gone to a relative's house to play for a few days, but when they came back, their family was ruined. Later, there was a murder case in Shangshu's mansion. "

Pei Yu's face was ugly: "Have you been convicted now?"

Ye Xihua shook his head: "Not yet, because later on he was found corrupt and sent to Dali Temple."

"Crack." Pei Yu was so angry that he crushed the teacup, "Let Zhang Gan take over the case first, and make sure Fang is safe."

Zhang Gan's official position is the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, and he is now Pei Yu's man.

After hearing his order, Ye Xihua's expression was a little ugly, "But Zheng Yushui is the second prince's man, and he has been at odds with us all the time, what if he doesn't make it easier?"

Zhang Gan and Zheng Yushui are both Shaoqing of Dali Temple. Because of different factions, they have been fighting openly and secretly, but in some respects they have a tacit understanding of non-interference in each other, such as using power for personal gain.

But it was all done in secret, pretending not to have seen it, but this time it was on the surface, if Zheng Yushui didn't do something, he would be sorry for the title of Zhang Qian's sworn enemy.

Pei Yu naturally thought of this, and his face was very impatient, "A single Zheng Yushui makes you intimidated? It won't work at the critical moment, why does the prince want you to come?"

This time, this incident was clearly led by someone intentionally. There was someone in the officialdom who was really clean, so why was Fang An found?

But now is not the time to think about these things, we must quickly rescue Fang An, otherwise their power will be seriously damaged.

He knew it was reckless to do so, but he also knew that a really smart person could do the best of both worlds.If they fail to do so, then it means they are incapable, and what are the incompetent people going to do?

Ye Xihua: "I understand, Your Highness."

Pei Yu originally wanted him to hurry up and do this, but Bai Ning suddenly said, "Qian Chengyan will be transferred from the position of Minister of Dali Temple next month, right?"

The two wondered why he said this suddenly, but they still responded: "Yeah, what's the matter?"

Bai Ning: "Who will fill in Qian Chengyan's place after he leaves?"

The two were taken aback for a moment, and then suddenly realized that after Qian Chengyan was transferred next month, the people who would take his place were probably Zhang Gan and Zheng Yushui, the young ministers of Dali Temple.

Now if Zhang Qian abused his power because of Fang An and was found out again, it would be a problem if Zhang Qian could not keep his official position, not to mention his promotion.

It happened at this juncture that the accident happened, and he knew who did it without thinking about it. After knowing who did it, Pei Yu was afraid of his recklessness just now. If Zhang Qian really wanted to do something, he would definitely not be able to escape this time.

I don't know who gave his second brother the idea, and he was about to applaud that person. Not everyone can think of such a way to kill two birds with one stone.

Pei Yu: "Their ultimate goal is actually to take Fang An and Zhang Gan in one fell swoop!" Pei Yu gritted her teeth a bit, everyone present here is not stupid, and Ye Xihua naturally understood this meaning.

"Then Your Highness, what should we do now? Give up Fang An?" Ye Xihua asked tentatively.

Pei Yu frowned and shook her head: "If Fang An is abandoned, we will suffer heavy losses, and this prince will lose his heart."

These people under his wings usually support him, but when it comes to critical moments, he can't protect them, which will make people disappointed and questioned.

So the opponent's methods are clever, and now he can't advance or retreat.

Bai Ning, "Now there are two ways."

Pei Yu's eyes lit up. How could he have forgotten Bai Ning? His senior brother is not just as simple as being strong in martial arts, "Senior brother, which two methods?"

Bai Ning: "The first one is what you all think of first. Although you may lose some of your hearts, at least Zhang Gan will not be implicated."

Pei Yu felt a little uncomfortable, is this the only way?

He poured a glass of wine for Bai Ning, "What about the second method?"

Bai Ning picked up the wine glass, took a sip, his eyes were a little cold, "An eye for an eye."

Pei Yu: "What do you mean?"

Bai Ning: "What kind of tricks did they use for you, you can return it in the same way."

Pei Yu thought about it for a while. In their current situation, the first thing they thought of was how to save people and how to minimize the loss, but they never thought about fighting back directly.

By the way, they killed two birds with one stone, can't we use it too?Isn't it just a handle?You have my handle, and I have your handle.

"Thank you, brother." Pei Yu laughed. Fortunately, Bai Ning was beside him and woke him up today, otherwise he would have been caught.

Bai Ning smiled slightly: "Let's do it."

Pei Yu's heart warmed up, and the senior brother still cared about him, "Okay." After he finished speaking, he felt a little guilty, "I'm going to neglect the senior brother today."

Bai Ning shook his head, "You have something important to do, I'm not on guard."

"Brother..." Pei Yu called out in a low voice, his voice full of remembrance, "I'm going first."

Bai Ning nodded, thinking in his heart, this is a good show to watch.

Pei Yu acted resolutely, and the next day it was revealed that Jiang Huaiyuan, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, had accepted bribes and sold official positions in large quantities. This incident made the emperor furious, and he ordered Dali Temple to investigate this matter to the bottom.

This Minister of Officials is the first of the six ministers, the appointment, dismissal and transfer of officials all over the country. Almost half of the people in the court are his students, and it can be said that the world is full of peaches and plums.

Zhang Qian and Fang An combined are not as important as him. The most important thing is that this person is the second prince's father-in-law.

This matter made the second prince Pei Jue very angry. He didn't expect his father-in-law to be so bold as to sell his official position. Even if it happened twice, he could still hide it. He didn't expect him to sell in batches.

Just do it, and let someone catch it. If you catch it, forget it, but send it to Dali Temple.

He hurriedly went to see Pei Yu, and the two finally reached an agreement, and both sides took a step back. Of course, the initiative this time was in Pei Yu's hands, so he also put forward a condition that the second prince and Zheng Yushui give up the position of Minister of Dali Temple In this way, Zhang Gan has a greater chance of becoming the next Dali Temple Minister.

A few days later, Fang An, the salt transport envoy, and Jiang Huaiyuan, the Minister of the Ministry of officials, were acquitted. One month later, Zhang Qian took office as Minister of Dali Temple.

Although taking out the hole card to check and balance the Minister of the Ministry of Officials now seems a bit of a waste of money, but for Pei Yu, the role of Fang An and Zhang Gan is as important as that of the Minister of the Ministry of Officials to the second prince, so Bai Ning would give him this attention.

Moreover, Pei Yu knew that after this incident, his father's trust in the Minister of the Ministry of Officials had plummeted, and he would not stay in this position for long.

The second prince also knew, but even if Jiang Huaiyuan was not the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, his influence was definitely not small, so he would still exchange with Pei Yu.

Bai Ning didn't care about these things. He only knew that after this incident, Pei Yu trusted him even more, and even classified him as a member of their faction. Every time he discussed political affairs with others, he would call Bai Ning. Of course, Bai Ning Also gave him a lot of help.

Gradually, just like in the previous life, he and Ye Xihua became Pei Yu's right-hand men.

After what happened last time, Ye Xihua became a lot more restrained. She only concentrated on assisting Pei Yu and gave way to Bai Ningqian, making it inappropriate for Bai Ning to trouble him.

And for Pei Yu, being able to get along with Bai Ning every day is the happiest thing for him. Even if Bai Ning doesn't love him, he doesn't care. He already knows what he is going to do now. I can get Bai Ning.

Every time he thought this way, his eyes shone with a strange light, which made people panic when he saw it.

But no matter how hard he tried, he was still far from that step, and what made him collapse was that Bai Ning was going to marry Wu Fangfei.
