A few days ago, Yu Zhou listened to Yu Chengwen's suggestion and asked for leave. Later, he had already confirmed in front of Pei Siyuan that he was in good health, and he was too embarrassed to continue pretending to be sick, so he explained to Yu Chengwen and went back to the palace to be on duty. .

But even though he was on duty in name, he hadn't actually been on duty, because Pei Siyuan would take him "away from duty" whenever he was free.In fact, Yu Zhou was reluctant to go out with Pei Siyuan. First, he felt that it was a bit irresponsible and would delay his position as a living man. Second, he was afraid that Lu Zhinan would be unhappy if he saw something.

"It was agreed last time that you will follow me on errands, and Qi Qilang is just giving you a name, you don't have to be so serious." Pei Siyuan said.

"But... won't this delay things? No one remembers His Majesty's daily life." Yu Zhou said.

Pei Siyuan said in his heart that you remember those things that are useless except to amuse me.

But he just muttered a few words in his heart, and didn't say it in front of Yu Zhou.

"You probably don't know, Your Majesty doesn't like others to pay so much attention to his private life, so he has long planned to reduce the scope of his duties." Pei Siyuan said: "Now only Zhuang Sheren records the affairs of the previous court, which is just right Your Majesty's will."

If not, Lu Zhinan would not have agreed to Pei Siyuan's proposal to transfer Yu Zhou to the imperial court.

After all, the emperor is also a human being, and it is human nature not to want to show others every detail of his life.

"Where are you taking me?" Yu Zhou followed Pei Siyuan out of the palace and asked, "Are you going to Dali Temple to watch their trial?"

"Now that the case has come to a conclusion, there is almost no need for me to keep an eye on it." Pei Siyuan said: "There are people from me in Dali Temple, so don't worry about their petty tricks."

Speaking of which, this matter was not within the scope of his duties. The reason why the emperor entrusted him to handle it was because he was afraid that someone would take advantage of the opportunity to fish in troubled waters.

Yu Zhou thought about this, and suddenly remembered what Yu Chengwen said to him before he came back to work:

"You still know too little about Deputy Commander Pei. He is the deputy commander of the Forbidden Army on the surface, but in fact, he does not participate in the management of the Forbidden Army at all except for those who can dispatch the Forbidden Army at will." Yu Chengwen road.

"What do you mean? He's lazy?" Yu Zhou asked puzzled.

"The Forbidden Army has two deputy commanders." Yu Chengwen said: "The other one is the real deputy commander."

When Yu Zhou heard the words, he had an idea, and instantly realized a meaning that was far from the truth.

Pei Siyuan's deputy commander is only on a temporary basis, is this for the convenience of him staying by the emperor's side to serve him?

After all, with the position of deputy commander, it was a matter of course for him to stay by Lu Zhinan's side, and no one could say anything.

"Since the matter has come to this point, I don't think you can dodge it." Yu Chengwen said to him: "Do well by Vice Commander Pei's side, do your duty, don't show off."

Yu Zhou has always been a person who listens to advice, so he nodded hurriedly.

"By the way, how does Deputy Commander Pei treat you?" Yu Chengwen couldn't help asking again.

"He treats me very well." Yu Zhou subconsciously said.

Take care of food, drink, shower, sauna and car pick-up, what else is there for Yu Zhou to be dissatisfied with?

Yu Chengwen nodded and said, "Then let's do it, do it well."

Pei Siyuan paused, stretched out his hand and waved in front of his eyes, and asked, "What are you thinking?"

Yu Zhou withdrew his thoughts and said, "No, I just didn't expect that this time, the carrots were pulled out and the mud was brought out, so many people were involved. There were more than 20 people who were addicted to drugs, and even more people participated in it. many."

"It's just what you see. The place you can't see is a hundred times worse than this." Pei Siyuan said: "Behind all the brilliance, there are countless messes hiding."

Yu Zhou sighed, thinking that Zhinan should belong to a very conscientious emperor, since there are so many things in the court.If you encounter such a foolish emperor, you can imagine what the court will become and what the people will experience.

"Don't think about it, these are not things you should worry about." Pei Siyuan said, poking him lightly on the head.

"Then what should I worry about?" Yu Zhou asked.

Pei Siyuan smiled and said, "That's all you need to worry about."

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand to touch the corner of Yu Zhou's lips, and then pointed to Yu Zhou's belly.

Yu Zhou didn't know why, until Pei Siyuan took him to a small restaurant in a deep alley.

"Is this a restaurant?" Yu Zhou asked after looking at it.

"I'm sure you like it." Pei Siyuan said as he put his arms around his shoulders and led him into the room.

This small restaurant is not big, but it is not cramped. The inside is well organized and the atmosphere is quite comfortable.

A gray-haired woman came over and beckoned them to sit down, her expression and Pei Siyuan should be familiar.

"Why did you bring friends over today?" the woman laughed.

"He's greedy, bring him over to have a taste." Pei Siyuan said.

The woman smiled kindly at Yu Zhou, and said, "Your friend looks like a lucky one."

"Well, I think so too." Pei Siyuan smiled.

The two didn't exchange too many pleasantries, and the woman went into the back kitchen.

After a while, she came out with two bowls of braised noodles.

Yu Zhou thought that Pei Siyuan was going to take him to eat something special, but he was quite surprised when he saw it.

But after he tasted that side, he immediately changed his opinion.

This side looks ordinary, but the marinade poured on it is made with great care. The small pieces of braised meat are cut fat and thin. After cooking, most of the fat inside has been pulled out. It is fat but not greasy in the mouth. Excellent taste.

"Is it delicious?" Pei Siyuan asked.

"It's delicious." Yu Zhou almost didn't have time to look up at him. While eating the noodles, he said, "It's better than Jiang Yuezhai's craftsmanship."

Pei Siyuan couldn't help laughing when he heard the words, stretched out his hand to stroke back a strand of hair on his forehead, and said, "Eat slowly, or you'll feel uncomfortable soon."

His fingers were slightly warm, and when he brushed Yu Zhou's forehead, it left a special feeling.

Yu Zhou paused while eating noodles, and subconsciously glanced at him with a somewhat bewildered expression.

Pei Siyuan withdrew his hand as if nothing had happened, picked up the noodles in his bowl and ate a few mouthfuls.

"How do you know so many delicious things?" Yu Zhou asked adoringly after coming out of the small restaurant.

Pei Siyuan raised his eyebrows triumphantly, and said, "I'm picky too, and I don't like to be wronged by what I eat. You are lucky to meet me."

Yu Zhou nodded seriously when he heard the words, and patted his stomach contentedly.

"In this world, there must be something that can make you happy. The thing that made me happy in the past was probably a delicious meal." Pei Siyuan said.

"Me too." Yu Zhou said, "Then what about you now?"

"Now..." Pei Siyuan turned to look at him, and said, "Guess."

Of course Yu Zhou couldn't figure it out, so he simply didn't bother.

Pei Siyuan saw that he didn't guess, so he took the initiative to say: "I used to go to Zhongshu Provincial Yamen, why didn't I pay attention to you?"

Yu Zhou was startled when he heard the words, and suddenly became a little nervous. He looked at him and asked, "What do you mean by that?"

Pei Siyuan didn't expect that such a casual sentence would make Yu Zhou nervous again.

He smiled helplessly, and said: "If I had known that you were so interesting, I wouldn't have waited for them to drug you and stuff it in my room."

Yu Zhou: ...

What kind of strange remarks are these?

On that day, Pei Siyuan took Yu Zhou to eat and drink enough, and then sent him back to Yu Mansion.

After he returned to the palace, news came from Dali Temple that the evidence was almost ready.

"Liu Shilang..." Lu Zhinan lightly tapped his finger on the table, and said, "Do you want to go get him yourself?"

"He is not worthy." Pei Siyuan said: "I don't want to get my hands dirty."

Hearing the words, Lu Zhinan ordered the people who came to interrogate him, which meant that they should follow the law.

at the same time.

In Liu's study, Liu Shilang was seriously cleaning his book case.

"My lord, is there really no other way?" A person stood on the other side of the desk and said, "If you want to leave, this subordinate will try their best to send you out of the capital."

"Where did you escape to?" Liu Shilang laughed.

"Then you just admit it?" the man said unwillingly.

"If the chess is wrong, I can't blame others. Who would have thought that the useless little boy would think of a way to use a dog to distinguish taste..." Liu Shilang sighed and said: "This is God's will. He should have died in the Xunhuan Building back then but didn't." Death, but today I fell into his hands."

Hearing the words, the man immediately looked guilty, wishing he could kill himself on the spot.

But Liu Shilang said: "You go, to avoid the limelight."

"My lord, I won't go." The man said hastily.

"You are not registered in Liu's residence, so they can't find you. If my family can escape this time, you will take good care of me in the future." Liu Shilang said.

After he finished speaking, he seemed worried, and said: "You can't beat Pei Siyuan, don't do stupid things."

The man responded reluctantly when he heard the words, but he said in his heart, I can't do anything to Pei Siyuan, can I not do anything to that trashy boy?

Last time he failed to be sent away, this time he wants to get rid of this little boy with his own hands and avenge his master!

Pei Siyuan stayed in the palace until midnight today, drinking a few glasses of wine with Lu Zhinan.

When he was about to resign, Laixi came to report in a hurry, saying that Yu's house was in trouble.

"Where?" Pei Siyuan asked.

"Yu's residence." Laixi hurriedly said, "Yu Sheren's house..."

Before Laixi could finish speaking, Pei Siyuan hurried out of the palace without even paying respects to the emperor.

In the dead of night, the flames of Yu Mansion looked very conspicuous.

"From the beginning to the end of the fire, the speed is too fast, we have no time to save it!" the servant of Yu Mansion said humanely to the patrol camp.

"Is anyone injured?" The patrol battalion asked while directing people to put out the fire.

"The fire started in our eldest son's room. The eldest son's servant lived next door and was smoked. He still hasn't woken up yet, but the doctor said it's not a serious problem." The servant said: "But Our eldest son..."

"What's wrong with him?" A cold voice came suddenly, which made everyone in the room feel a little guilty when they heard it.

The man from the patrol battalion turned his head and said hurriedly, "Deputy Commander Pei."

Pei Siyuan ignored him, and asked again in a deep voice, "What's wrong with him?"

"He..." The servant realized after a while that he was asking Yu Zhou, and hurriedly said: "The door of the eldest son's room was locked, and the fire started from his room. When we find out The fire has grown enormously."

Hearing the words, Pei Siyuan ran quickly towards the burning place, but saw that the entire room had already been burnt to ruins, and the beams almost collapsed.People from the patrol battalion and the servants of the Yu Mansion have been trying to put out the fire, but splashing water on it is of no avail.

Don't think about it, let alone the people inside are alive at the moment, I'm afraid there are not many bones left.

"The person who set the fire made up his mind to kill people. He poured oil on the roof and surrounding areas. It took only a blink of an eye for the fire to ignite, and Da Luo God did not do anything different." Humanity of the patrol battalion said: "Our brothers Several barrels used to hold kerosene were found in the back."

Pei Siyuan stood there watching the flames in the sky, without saying a word, as if he was nailed there.

His ears were filled with crackling burning sounds, and his nostrils were filled with the choking smell of smoke.

In a daze, he almost thought it was a dream, because he seemed to hear Yu Zhou's voice...

"Why is it on fire?" Yu Zhou rushed over through the busy crowd, and said with a terrified expression, "What's going on? Where's Xiao Han?"

Pei Siyuan turned his head to look over, and saw Yu Zhou standing a few steps away from him, his face flushed by the flames.

"Deputy Commander Pei, why are you here?" Yu Zhou asked.

Pei Siyuan walked up to him, stretched out his hand to grab his wrist, and said hoarsely, "Where have you been?"

Yu Zhou looked at him, wondering if it was his own illusion, but he felt that Pei Siyuan's eyes were red, and he seemed to be in a daze.Especially since he was originally very strong, now he was holding Yu Zhou's wrist, pinching him so painfully.

"I... I was too hungry to sleep, so I went to have a late-night snack secretly." Yu Zhou said cautiously.

As soon as he finished speaking, Pei Siyuan's eyes regained a little clarity, as if a soul that was on the verge of going out of its body suddenly returned to its place.

"I'm sorry." Yu Zhou only thought that he didn't dispose of the candle properly when he left and caused the fire, and felt very guilty immediately.

However, Pei Siyuan reached out and touched his face, as if confirming that the person in front of him was indeed real, his movements were cautious and restrained.

"I will never go out to eat secretly again." Yu Zhou choked up.

Pei Siyuan looked at him, and said in an affirmative tone almost never before: "Good food..."

The author has something to say:

Pei Siyuan: The house is gone, come live with me
