Lei Yue Longmen

There are three independent small buildings in the backyard of the Cen Mansion, East, West, and Middle. Gu Qing, Xiaoyuan, and Biao'er live in the east building. The middle building was originally owned by the head of the house, Gu Qing, but she didn't want to live alone, so she moved there. Over there in the small garden.The west building is still vacant, and it has been temporarily used as the residence of three generations of the Ye family.The three buildings are all elegant and unique, surrounded by trees, and each has a path leading to Feiyu Lake.The old lady of the Ye family is very grateful to live in such a quiet house during the busy days.

Ye Bei, the servant of the Ye family, lived in the front yard with Cen Zhuo, Lao Chen, Xiao Zhuang and others.Cen Zhu alone occupied the largest main building in the whole courtyard, which contained study rooms, bedrooms, living rooms, and bathrooms.And Lao Chen and others lived in the wing rooms on both sides.After Ye Bei followed Pei Zhuo into Pei's house, he was always used by the current people. He lived in a Datong shop with a room of more than a dozen people. Where did he live in such a luxurious room? I just think this? The house should be a young lady or a young master. I live there, and I have nowhere to set foot in it.Although Xiao Zhuang was not as familiar as his younger sister, he took good care of Ye Bei and arranged his room very carefully. He said with a smile, "Brother Ye is here? Rest for one night. Tomorrow, I will show you around Cen's residence."

When night fell, Pei Zhuo dared to open the west window and looked at the gloomy Pei family on the other side, feeling unspeakably melancholy.At the dinner table, everyone deliberately didn't mention what happened during the day, just to clean up the dust for the four new guests.Pei Zhuo didn't say anything, and Mrs. Ye answered all the words that needed to be answered.But after returning to the house, the three grandparents and grandchildren saw a row of trays appearing in the room, and they were speechless for a while.Pei Zhuo caressed the white clothes, white socks, white candles, incense burner and other things in the tray, concentrating for a long time.The filial piety clothes are one big and one small, obviously for Pei Zhuo and his daughter.It took a while for Old Madam Ye to say with emotion: "This? Mrs. Cen's thoughts are really delicate, and she has thought of everything that she couldn't think of."

Now help Pei Zhuo and granddaughter? Change into filial piety clothes, and set up an incense table, and guard the spirit for Mrs. Pei upstairs.

The next day, Cen Zhu brought back another piece of news that everyone was concerned about, "The Pei family has suppressed the matter of the Pei family's sister-in-law, but the Bai? , I believe there will be a response soon!"

"No," Pei Zhuo, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said, "The Bai family has always flattered the Pei family. If they really love my sister-in-law, my sister-in-law will not have no choice but to end it all! It's all because of me!"

Everyone fell silent for a moment, Ye Bei raised his fist angrily and said, "Is this the only way to forget a human life? Is there any king in the world!"

"Exactly!" Xiao Yuan echoed Ye Bei, "Why? Why isn't it illegal for a husband to abuse his wife? Why does that bastard bully others with his power!"

Xiao Zhuang said angrily: "If only there was another Gu Rentu in the world, cut off his other hand too!"

Cen Zhu got up suddenly and went out to the porch.Gu Qing silently lowered his head upon hearing this.

When Pei Zhuo saw Cen Zhuo get up, he followed her out.

"Master Cen, may I ask where the body of my sister-in-law is placed?"

"The Pei family asked the Ministry of Criminal Justice to return your wife's body, but Mr. Fu reluctantly detained it, threatening to wait for someone from the White House to see it before returning it."

"Master Fu is a rare and good official, but he doesn't understand that it doesn't matter if Bai's family members have seen it or not. At most, he will cry a little and then succumb to the power.

But the sister-in-law is the daughter-in-law of the Pei family after all, and it will be bad for him if it is delayed for a long time.I also ask Mr. Cen to persuade him a lot.People can't be resurrected after death, they can only wait for the reincarnation of heaven, and the perpetrators will receive retribution. "

"Does Miss Pei believe in retribution?"

"I don't know anything else. The Pei family is like a big tree with rotten roots. Sooner or later, it will be uprooted. At that time, there will be no eggs under the overturned nest."

Cen Zhu listened? Her words were full of deep meaning, and she suddenly became interested, "Why? How can I see it?"

She didn't say anything, obviously, she and Cen Zhu hadn't reached the point of heart-to-heart communication yet.On the contrary, Cen Zhu became more and more interested, and half-jokingly said: "So? So, Miss Pei faked her death and left Pei's house, because she deliberately didn't want to be a fish in the pond that got hurt?"

"Half and half!"

Gu Qing saw two people chatting and laughing on the porch, they were both god-like figures, no matter their appearance or behavior matched each other very well, they lost their minds for a moment.Later, seeing Cen Zhu leaning on the railing and waving at her, he was slightly taken aback, then walked over hesitantly.

Second Miss Pei still turned her back to her, as if admiring the boundless night beyond the railing, she didn't notice whether there was one more person or one less person on the corridor, and she didn't care.The clear moonlight shrouded her side face in a faint halo, and Gu Qing thought of the word "ice muscle and jade bone" for a moment.It was a little cold outside, Cen Zhu's face turned red from the cold, but her face was still white and shining.

"Come on, come here, I've found a new master for you!" Cen Zhu beckoned her to him with a smile on his face, and there was a hint of enthusiasm in his words.

"Master?" Gu Qing was puzzled.

"Yeah!" Cen Zhu said with a smile: "You have fouled again these few days, and you always sign and speak, you have to change! Considering those of us who are familiar with you, we will not be conscious when we see you use your hands and speak. I was led astray, and I specially found an unfamiliar one for you. You can correct it as soon as you use sign language. From now on, you will practice speaking with Ms. Pei every day, and you must learn this within a month. Change the habit of sign language!"

Gu Qing was stunned, the first time? A little confused.When he realized it, he was very embarrassed, and looked at Cen Zhu in fear.

At this time, Pei Zhuo turned around and looked at her, seeming to smile, "We can't live here for nothing, it's my honor to help Mrs. Cen correct her pronunciation. Please teach me more in the future, Mrs. Cen."

Cen Zhu didn't notice the panic and pleading for help in Gu Qing's eyes as if someone had been thrown on the chopping block, but he was complacent about this wonderful arrangement of his own.Looking towards the north of the East City, a grand banquet was also being held in the East Palace under the moonlight.

Tu Yuanshan, the protagonist of the banquet, is receiving toasts from all parties.After returning to Beijing for several days, Marquis Dingguo has been busy with the general affairs of the court and the mansion, and went to the cemetery of the emperor's relatives to pay homage to the heroic spirit of his son-in-law. feast.

At the banquet, many Eastern Palace staff complained to Tu Yuanshan:

"Master Hou, don't you know this? Over the past few years, the arrogance of Dun Wang Mansion and Cheng Wang Mansion has been so arrogant. Your Highness endured it, but they pressed on every step of the way, wishing to wipe out the East Palace!"

"Yes! Even the emperor is helping them. Not long ago, Mrs. Tan Fu was demoted back to her hometown because of a small matter. Like collecting filial piety from below? Which palace doesn't have such a thing? He just keeps his eyes on the East Palace. Last time The Yuedun Palace also received a large amount of tribute, and nothing happened!"

This sentence is suspected of slandering the father of the monarch. Li Jingchen, who was sitting in the middle, raised his eyes slightly, and a cold light hit the staff member who made the speech. He was startled, and immediately shut up. .

It wasn't until everyone finished complaining that Tu Yuanshan raised his glass symbolically and said, "Tu has heard about everyone's grievances in the frontier. Don't worry, if there is Tu in one day, no one will dare to climb up to His Highness." And the head of the emperor's eldest grandson!"

"With Lord Hou's words, I can rest assured!"

Most of the staff at the table were all smiling, as if they had taken a reassurance.Only a small number of staff members including Gu Mian ate wine worriedly and did not show their faces.

When the banquet was about to end, Tu Yuanshan suddenly asked Li Jingchen, "Listen? Tell me, Your Highness locked up General Mu?"

Li Jingchen said: "Mu Yunzhong disrespected Mrs. Hou, I locked him up as a punishment."

Marquis Dingguo bit a meatball and pondered for a moment, "I heard about that too? I told you, I don't blame General Mu. General Mu wholeheartedly guards His Royal Highness. What's wrong with his duty? What's more, everyone is a family. There is no need to use the whip, let him out!"

The people below agreed one after another.

"By the way, General Mu has been with His Highness for more than ten years, right?"

"Fifty-eight years."

"Well, what do I think of him? The chief guard of the Eastern Palace has done a good job, and it's time for him to be promoted. It just so happened that the commander of the infantry, the yamen patrolling the city, and the commander of the southern battalion came out. I think General Mu is suitable, and I will report to the emperor tomorrow. Get him the job."

Gu Mian and the others were startled, and looked at Li Jingchen one after another.The latter showed no sign of change on his face, and asked in a questioning tone, "The City Patroller already has our people. Wouldn't it be too obvious to install another one?"

What she meant was very clear. The City Patrol Division was the first line of defense to defend the capital, and in turn it was an important military force to control the palace.One had to be very careful to install a person inside, so as not to arouse Li Pinghong's suspicion.Now that another one is installed, it is still such a cloud species that obviously has the color of the Eastern Palace. This? It is not just to maintain balance. In the eyes of the emperor, this? It should be a kind of provocation, and it will definitely arouse Li Pinghong's unprecedented fear.

Who knows, Tu Yuanshan waved his hand and said decisively: "No! Compared with King Cheng's power in the Shenwu Army, even if the East Palace has two more people, it is only natural!"

These words touched the sore spot of the East Palace. King Cheng has been training in the Shenwu Army when he is still young. Once his wings grow in the future, he will become a serious threat to the East Palace.

"But I feel that King Cheng has a gentle temperament and is not as ambitious as King Dun. Maybe he has no intention of fighting for the heir!" Suddenly someone from the audience whispered.

The whole house was quiet for a while, and suddenly burst into laughter under Tu Yuanshan's lead.Tu Yuanshan scoffed lightly: "A woman's opinion! You haven't even seen what King Cheng looks like, so? If you say it, do you believe it?"

The person who spoke just now blushed, wishing he could get under the table.However, Li Jingchen saw him in the crowd at a glance, seeing that the other party looked like a frail scholar, he paid a little more attention.

Tu Yuanshan seemed to be a little drunk, his eyes narrowed for a while, and he said meaningfully: "If General Mu goes to patrol the city, then the position of Chief Guard of the Eastern Palace will be vacant. Who should I choose? How about I recommend someone to Your Highness?" "

Li Jingchen already understood in his heart that he came prepared this time.Use the method of promotion to transfer the cloud species, and then take the opportunity to place your own people in the East Palace?

"I don't know who Ding Guohou recommended?"

Tu Yuanshan immediately beckoned, and sure enough, a slender man in black, 27 or [-] years old, came out from under his command, with a pair of catfish whiskers that were slightly upturned, which was particularly eye-catching.He bowed to Li Jingzhu on the throne and Ding Guohou next to him.

"See Your Highness, see Marquis Ding Guo!"

Tu Yuanshan looked at the person in front of him appreciatively, stroked his beard and introduced: "This? This is Fei Congyi, the only son of an old man who died in battle. I adopted him as a foster son since he was a child, just like the Tu family's parent and son. Don't look at his ugly appearance. But people are very clever, with him guarding the East Palace, the old man is very relieved! Haha!"

Li Jingchen was deeply impressed by the man's mustache. He remembered that it was on the second day of his wedding. This person once went to the East Palace with Tu Yunkai, and he was his childhood friend.At that time, I felt that those who came here were not good, and they still do now.The comer slightly raised the corners of his lips, and his dark eyes were full of sly light.

Gu Mian saw the deep meaning of this, once Fei Congyi became the chief guard, the entire East Palace would be under Tu Yuanshan's surveillance.
