A traitor

What Pei Yan said really caught Su Qinglang's handle.

Before what happened in Yizhou, Yu Huaizhong had sent two generous gifts to Qin Jian and Su Qinglang, and the escort team happened to bump into Pei Yan's hands.

Pei Yanyuan wanted to take this opportunity to severely injure Su Qinglang and Qin Jian. Although they could not be eradicated completely, it was not impossible to hurt their bones.Unexpectedly, at the critical moment, Mei Liusheng stopped him.

In Lord Zuo Xiang's mansion, Su Qinglang was sitting in the hall with a cup of fragrant tea in front of him.

I only heard Pei Yan say: "Master Su is young and promising, he is really a pillar of the country, he wanted to get close to him for a long time, but Mr. Su has been busy with other things, so he didn't find the opportunity."

Su Qinglang raised his eyes and said with a smile: "Qinglang has little talent and little learning, but he only does trivial things, Mr. Zuoxiang praises him."

The two toasted at the same time. Su Qinglang didn't like drinking tea at all, so Longjing, who was warmly treated by Mr. Zuoxiang, was like drinking cold water. Wild tea for him.

He also heard Pei Yan say: "Inviting Master Su to come here today, actually there is something I want to invite Master Su to see."

As he said that, he clapped his hands, and the butler who followed him took out the memorial that he had prepared in advance, walked over, and presented it in front of Su Qinglang.

Su Qinglang took it in his hand, lowered his eyes to look around, seeing the contents of the memorial, the expression on his face became even more ugly.

After a moment of silence, he looked at Pei Yan again and said, "Master Zuo Xiang, what do you mean by this?"

Pei Yan continued: "The truth has already been said just now, Master Su is the pillar of the country, the truth cannot bear to see Master Su being implicated in this matter, so he invites Master Su to come and discuss this matter together."

"Master Su is a smart man, but it's a pity that he went the wrong way and followed the wrong master. The truth is intended to give Master Su a chance. If Master Su abandons the dark side and turns to the light, this memorial, together with the testimony of the witnesses and the physical evidence in the hands of the minister, are not valid. Will appear in front of the emperor, if Mr. Su insists on going his own way... I'm afraid it will put him in a difficult situation."

Su Qinglang once thought about what Pei Yan's purpose was for finding him, but he never expected that this fellow wanted to turn him against him.

Although Pei Yan is not as loyal as Xu Jin and the others, but he has always regarded himself as a virtuous minister and has never been used to people like him, and the Pei family has a good relationship with Xie Yu and the others.

Therefore, since what happened five years ago, although their relationship is not a deep hatred or incompatible, there is still a gap in it.

The current situation is indeed not good for him, but who is Su Qinglang, although he is young, he has been in the officialdom for a long time, how can he be frightened by such a thing?

With a smile on his face, he deliberately pretended to be confused: "Master Zuo Xiang's words, but Qing Lang doesn't understand."

Paused, turned sideways, unfolded the folding fan with a huff, and said unhurriedly: "Qinglang is walking the right path of benefiting the country and the people, and I recognize him as the master of our Ninth Five-Year Lord. I don't know where Mr. Pei found it." A group of people deliberately slandered and framed, and what they said just now, could it be that they want Qinglang to betray the emperor and follow you from now on?"

Although he knew that Su Qinglang would not submit obediently, Pei Yan never expected that he would refuse so straightforwardly, completely indifferent to the situation he was about to face.

Pei Yan's face darkened, he looked at him and said: "Master Su, Ming people don't speak in secret, you know what the truth means."

"If Mr. Su is obsessed with his obsession, wait until the truth is presented and the emperor asks the emperor to find out. I'm afraid Mr. Su will regret it before it's too late."

"What kind of person Qin Jian is, Mr. Su knows better than anyone else. Although the truth can't help him, he is more than enough to deal with you. Should he seize the opportunity and give himself a way out, or should he be like Mr. Zhao before? Being abandoned as a scapegoat, Mr. Su, you should think about it carefully."

Hearing this, Su Qinglang fell silent for a long time before raising his eyes and said: "If Master Zuo wants to deal with Qinglang, you can submit the memorial."

Pei Yan was startled, and seeing him showing a sinister smile, he changed the topic: "However, when the emperor asked Qinglang about Qinglang in the Jinluan Hall, Qinglang was frightened and talked nonsense, I'm afraid even I didn't know What will be said."

Hearing what he said, Pei Yan's complexion became even more serious: "What do you mean by Mr. Su's words?"

Su Qinglang habitually put on a treacherous and charming expression, stroked the fan sideways and said, "Actually, Qinglang has always had a question in his heart. If Mr. Pei wants to instigate Qinglang, he can find a convenient time, a place where no one is around, and secretly talk to him." If I contact you, why do you have to do it in front of the Prime Minister?"

"But Mr. Pei just did this. While throwing Gao Zhi'er at me, he cut off this Gao Zhi'er at the same time. Mr. Pei has everything going on every day. I think he will not be so bored to this point, let alone open such a relationship with Qinglang. Just kidding. So...I'm afraid even Mr. Pei himself doesn't want me to turn to the light and stand by your side, right?"

"You don't want me to make a choice, but you have to force me to make a choice. With Master Pei's status, who can put you in this predicament?"

Pei Yan's face was as gloomy as ice, and he almost gritted his teeth and said, "I don't understand the truth, what Master Su means."

Su Qinglang glanced at him sideways, and said leisurely: "It doesn't matter if Master Zuo doesn't understand, as long as the person standing behind you understands."

He paused, and then said: "Qinglang heard an interesting thing in the border town this time. Some people said that His Royal Highness Yi Wang did not die back then, but hid in a dark place. So, what he wants to do is to make a comeback Revenge for what happened back then, or is it ambitious to overthrow the entire imperial court?"

"No matter what his purpose is, please tell him that I, Su Qinglang, will not do anything to betray the emperor. If he keeps his own place and thinks about his past affection, I don't have to sue the emperor, but if he If you have bad intentions and want to harm the emperor, no matter whether he is a human or a ghost, I... will send him to hell."

Pei Yan was stunned for a moment, looking at Su Qinglang in astonishment, but saw that Su Qinglang still had that smiling expression, as if he was talking about something irrelevant.

He was silent for a moment, managed to stabilize his mind, and retorted: "What Master Su said is just his own conjecture. His Royal Highness Yi Wang is dead, and everyone knows about it. Just use your brain."

Hearing this, Su Qinglang said meaningfully: "Is that so..."

He looked at Pei Yan, his fine and narrow fox eyes were full of calculations: "At first, I thought His Highness Yi Wang was dead. What Wen Shiliang said was pure nonsense, but combined with today's events, it is unbelievable." There is no doubt that you, Mr. Zuo Xiang, are related to His Royal Highness Yi Wang."

"In this city of Chang'an, apart from the emperor, the only one who can drive you, Mr. Pei, is probably Chang Shan King, but Chang Shan King has always been upright. If he knows this kind of thing, he may run to the emperor himself without Mr. Pei's actions. Come forward for impeachment and threaten to instigate rebellion?

He still can't do such a lowly thing.So, if he is neither the emperor nor King Changshan, who would this person be?Opposed to the Prime Minister, and need my help regardless of previous suspicions, besides the Prince Yi, there is no other one, right? "

He said, with a look of complacency on his face, he cupped his hands to Pei Yan and said, "At first, I was worried about how to verify whether King Yi was alive or dead, but Mr. Pei showed me a clear way today, how come?" Said, I should also thank Mr. Pei."

Seeing Pei Yan's face turned black and about to die of anger, he added leisurely: "However, the purpose of that King Yi is to make Mr. Pei turn against me. It's fine if Mr. Pei doesn't want to. How can he be obedient? Counting against the master? With such double-mindedness, His Royal Highness Yi Wang may not even be able to sleep well at night."

Pei Yan failed to kill the enemy, but was sent to the army instead. Pei Yan became angry with embarrassment, the veins in his hands bulged, and he threw the cup on the ground suddenly, and shouted angrily: "It's a bunch of nonsense!"

Su Qinglang stood up, restrained his expression, and said: "It's too early for Xiangye to get angry, let me listen to Qinglang's words, I have no grievances or enmity with that Prince Yi, and I have always sympathized with his experiences, so if it is not a last resort Qinglang does not want to hurt his life, let alone hand him over to the emperor. Fighting between snipe and clam is not good for anyone. If your lord is willing, Qinglang has a suggestion. I will keep the secret for you, and Mr. Pei will do it for you. I destroy the evidence, we are tied this time, how about another game?"

Pei Yanyin held back his anger, and said with a gloomy face: "Master Su, is he trying to exchange nothing for the conclusive evidence in the hands of the truth? Even if the next king is not dead, even if the truth is in collusion with him, it is up to Master Su's Who would believe a few words?"

Su Qinglang smiled slightly when he heard the words: "Indeed, I don't have any evidence in my hand, and it is really hard to be convincing with a few words, but Mr. Zuo Xiang should know, what is our emperor's temperament, and his attitude towards His Highness Yi Wang?" So what? I think the weight of these few words is obviously more important than Mr. Pei's evidence in front of the emperor."

Seeing that Pei Yan's expression was in a trance, and seemed to be moved, Su Qinglang said again: "It doesn't matter if I die at that time, I have a bad life, and I have nothing to miss, but you, Mr. Pei, a family of young and old, who have been prosperous for several generations, if you are jealous by the emperor , what will happen to you?

Pei Yan's heart was turbulent, and he was speechless for a long time, then saw Su Qinglang pick up the cup on the table, took a sip and said: "This tea is already cold, and Qinglang has something to do today, so I won't drink tea with Mr. Pei. By the way, In fact, Qinglang has always disliked drinking tea, if it is not bitter, there is nothing good to drink, if Mr. Pei wants to invite Qinglang to come here in the future, all he needs to do is prepare good wine, this tea... forget it..."

As he spoke, he turned around and took a step, and was about to go out when Pei Yan said in a deep voice, "Does Master Su want to go back like this?"

Su Qinglang stopped in his tracks, and turned his eyes sideways: "Master Pei's words, could it be that he wants to kill Qinglang here?"

He paused, and then said: "Master Pei should give up this idea earlier, I have already said that I have no malice towards you for the time being, but if Mr. Pei wants my life, I am afraid it will not be so easy. Fire can still add a little light before death, clear and bright, but it is not a fish on the knife and can be slaughtered by others."
