After wearing a book, he became the emperor's rival in love

Yu Zhou couldn't say no to him, so he simply didn't refute.

He picked up the lid of the food box, took out the food one by one, and handed Pei Siyuan a pair of chopsticks.

Pei Siyuan took the chopsticks in his hand with a smile on his face, but he was not in a hurry to eat.

"Why don't you eat?" Yu Zhou asked.

"I'm not you, I'm not that tricky." Pei Siyuan said, "I've been in prison just now."

Yu Zhou was stunned for a moment, and said, "You told me before that you have a tricky tongue."

"It's outside. I didn't expect someone to bring me food when I came here." Pei Siyuan looked at him and said, "After all, I used to have no one at home, and no one would feel sorry for me if I couldn't eat here." good."

Seeing him bring this up again, Yu Zhou blushed slightly at the tips of his ears, and changed the subject, "I heard from them that you were lynched in the street, was... what kind of lynching?"

"Killed someone." Pei Siyuan said lightly.

Although he said this casually, Yu Zhou could vaguely guess that killing him was not a simple killing, otherwise he wouldn't make such a big fuss and bring himself in.

"Who?" Yu Zhou asked.

"The one who set fire to your house." Pei Siyuan said.

Yu Zhou didn't expect that the person Pei Siyuan killed was someone who was going to burn him to death, and he was immediately surprised.

It took only one night and half a day for the incident to happen, and he completed all the procedures of arresting, disposing of, and punishing, which is too fast.

"Why...not send it to the Yamen?" Yu Zhou asked.

"Send him to the yamen, let him die easily according to the law?" Pei Siyuan smiled lightly, and said, "Guess, will someone come to your house to burn you to death in the future?"

Yu Zhou was startled, and didn't understand what he meant for a moment.

"Even if everyone in this case is taken away, you are safe for the time being, what about the future?" Pei Siyuan said, "Everyone in the court knows that I chose you to go to the imperial court, no matter how I treat you, it is in their eyes." If you stop it, it means you can hold me."

Pei Siyuan suppressed the smile in his eyes, and said: "In the future, whoever has a grudge against me will go to your house to light a fire. What has become of your house? Is it the stove?"

Yu Zhou: ...

He was only concerned about what happened last night, but he didn't have time to think about it that much.

Hearing Pei Siyuan mention it today, he realized what it meant.

Most of the thieves were related to the previous medicines, and now they were almost taken in one pot, and they felt angry and wanted to take revenge.

But Pei Siyuan was very vigilant and there were guards around him, so they had no choice but to take the next best thing and attack him.

Firstly, that matter could be resolved in the end, and he helped invisibly, and secondly, others knew that he was close to Pei Siyuan, so killing him could be regarded as a kind of "humiliation" or "strike" to Pei Siyuan.

"Are you doing this to scare chickens and monkeys?" Yu Zhou asked, "Is it to protect me?"

"Brother Yu Xian." Pei Siyuan stared at him for a while, and said with a smile in his eyes: "You ask me this question, how do you want me to answer you? You are not afraid that I will take the opportunity to ask you for something in return?"

Yu Zhou didn't know what he thought of, and he felt a little uncomfortable on his face.

"I was the one who dragged you in. It's not good for you to follow me and lose your life." Pei Siyuan said.

If one thing is done at a low cost, more people will naturally be willing to do it.

Once the price becomes greater, there will be very few people who dare to do it.

Pei Siyuan lynched people in the street, which was his response to the arson incident in the Yu Mansion.

This is a warning, not only for the person who set the fire this time, but also for all the people who might think this way in the future.

"Is there no other way?" Yu Zhou asked.

"I only choose the method that I am good at." Pei Siyuan said, "You have known me for so long, you don't think I am a calm and reasonable person?"

Yu Zhou thought in his heart that you are not only unreasonable, you are simply unreasonable!

"Don't worry, although this place is a bit rough, I think it's okay to live in." Pei Siyuan said: "It's not that I haven't lived in it before, I'm not used to it if I don't come here once in a while."

Pei Siyuan stretched his waist as he spoke, and seemed to have scratched the wound when he raised his hand, so he couldn't help but frowned.

"Are you injured?" Yu Zhou asked hurriedly.

"It's okay to get hit with the army stick a few times," Pei Siyuan said.

"Your Majesty ordered someone to beat you?" Yu Zhou asked.

"You didn't see that a group of courtiers in the early court wanted to hit the pillars to show their ambitions, just to reprimand me." Pei Siyuan said: "If I don't get beaten up, things will not end well."

"I thought..." Yu Zhou hesitated to speak.

Pei Siyuan guessed what he was thinking, and said with a smile: "You think His Majesty is not willing to beat me?"

Yu Zhou didn't want to talk about Lu Zhinan in front of him, so he didn't say anything.

However, Pei Siyuan was addicted to drama, and put on an aggrieved look: "You don't know, His Majesty seems to favor me, but in fact, he never takes pity on me in private."

He pointed to the straw mat in the corner and said, "Look, I don't even know how to arrange a bed for me."

"I... later, I'll ask your housekeeper to bring you a quilt." Yu Zhou said hastily.

"They're not from my family, so they can't get in." Pei Siyuan said.

Yu Zhou didn't expect that he would have the mind to mention this at this moment, so he said helplessly, "Just ask the guard to bring it to you."

Pei Siyuan stared at him for a while, then restrained his smile and said: "You should be safe now, you can move back to Yufu when you go back today, you don't need to live with me."

"Okay." Yu Zhou said.

"You don't have to come see me tomorrow." Pei Siyuan said.

Yu Zhou just wanted to ask why, but held back.

After all, only family members can come to visit in this prison, and it seems wrong for him to come too old.

Turn around and tell the housekeeper to come over and deliver the meals to him.

That day, after he came out of the cell in Dali Temple, Yu Zhou told the housekeeper about Pei Siyuan's situation in the prison, and then asked the housekeeper to bring him some food, drink, bedding and other daily necessities.

"Mr. Yu, you probably don't know my son. He lives in a prison and never lets us deliver these things." The housekeeper said, "It's just about delivering food. If you didn't insist on coming today, we wouldn't dare to come here." .”

"Why?" Yu Zhou asked puzzled.

"Our son has always been like this." The housekeeper explained.

always like this?

Yu Zhou thought, could it be that Pei Siyuan is a regular visitor in this prison?

He didn't doubt that with Pei Siyuan's temperament, he would often do outrageous things, but he always thought that with the relationship between the other party and Lu Zhinan, the other party would protect his weaknesses to some extent. Why did the housekeeper seem to have something else hidden?

Yu Zhou was puzzled, but the butler of Pei Mansion looked kind, but he was actually quite strict.

Yu Zhou knew that there was nothing to ask from him, so he bid him farewell and went back to his home.

The main courtyard of Yu Mansion looked like everything was normal, but after entering, one could still smell the faint smell of burning. The small courtyard where Yu Zhou lived had been burnt down, and now it looked like a ruin.

"In a few days, I will find someone to rebuild the small courtyard. These days, you can move to the wing room in the backyard." Yu Chengwen said.

After what happened last night, Yu Chengwen obviously also had lingering fears, and when he saw Yu Zhou today, he was extra gentle.

Yu Zhou looked at his burnt beard and eyebrows, feeling both funny and sad.

"Father, have you heard about Deputy Commander Pei?" Yu Zhou asked.

"Yeah." Yu Chengwen nodded and said, "He will... deal with the person who set the fire."

"You said, how will he be dealt with according to the law?" Yu Zhou asked.

"Our dynasty's criminal law on the use of lynching is not perfect, but in principle, if the person who is lynched should have been executed in the first place, then the criminal responsibility of the person who was executed by lynching is generally not too heavy." Yu Chengwen said: "Deputy Commander Pei It’s not a reckless man, the person who set the fire yesterday was caught by the imperial army, and after the arrest, the imperial army confirmed with the patrol battalion, the man did not deny it, and pleaded guilty on the spot.”

This means that both the Forbidden Army and the Patrol Battalion can confirm that the man set fire to murder the court official, which is a crime that must be died.

What's more, in addition to this, that person also participated in the previous drug sales, so the guilt is undoubtedly death!

"That is to say, Vice Commander Pei killed a person who was already guilty of a capital crime, so the crime will be lighter?" Yu Zhou asked.

"En." Yu Chengwen said: "Over the years in my dynasty, there have been many cases of lynching to death. The heaviest ones are dismissal, while the lighter ones are fines, remorse, etc."

Yu Zhou heaved a sigh of relief when he heard the words, which meant that Da Yuanchao was not particularly taboo about lynching officials.

Thinking about it, the ancient society was different from the modern one after all, and there was no such thing as humanitarianism. It is estimated that torture to extract confessions is the norm, so it is so lenient in this regard.

"Is anyone in jail?" Yu Zhou asked.

"As far as I know, no." Yu Chengwen said.

"Is there anyone who was beaten?" Yu Zhou asked again.

"Then there will be none more." Yu Chengwen said.

From this point of view, Pei Siyuan was beaten again and sent to prison again, so he was punished severely?

He didn't understand, it was fine if the emperor didn't protect Pei Siyuan, why would he take it seriously?

"Vice-commander Pei is wrong. His Majesty loves him so much." Yu Chengwen sighed.

"I don't understand." Yu Zhou asked: "Since Your Majesty loves him, why doesn't he protect him?"

"It is precisely because he is so loved by His Majesty that there are so many people in the court staring at him. Once he makes a mistake, how many mouths can't help but bite on him." Yu Chengwen said: "Although your Majesty is the king of a country, the courtiers are still waiting for you." He said that he didn't care about it, and severely punished Vice Commander Pei, which made him more lenient and disinterested."

Yu Zhou: ...

Cooperating with Pei Siyuan and the emperor, he gained a false reputation of being favored?

You can't get any good things on weekdays, and you have to double the punishment when you encounter bad things?

What's the point of this?

"Since ancient times, those who have favored and trusted the people around them are all fools." Yu Chengwen said: "Your Majesty is wise, the closer you are to the people, the more you have to avoid suspicion. It's okay for Vice Commander Pei to be domineering on weekdays. Although he does things out of line, But it is rare to leave anyone with a clue, but this time..."

This time, in order to achieve the purpose of killing chickens and monkeys, he wanted to let everyone in the capital know what he had done, which was equivalent to giving his own handle to those courtiers who had long disliked him.

If the courtiers didn't seize this opportunity to participate in his book, they would be sorry that he worked so hard to make a big noise.

"Father, was he often imprisoned?" Yu Zhou asked.

"I remember a few years ago, not long after His Majesty came to the throne, many old officials in the court relied on their elders to sell their elders, and they were disrespectful to His Majesty." Yu Chengwen said: "At that time, Vice Commander Pei took His Majesty's inkstone and opened a ladle for an old official in full view. Said that he had no eyes on the king, and even drew a knife..."

That time, Pei Siyuan spent more than a month in prison for the crime of disrespect in front of the imperial court.

But since then, no courtier dared to speak rudely in front of the emperor.

"Speaking of which, His Majesty seems to have gradually accumulated his majesty after that." Yu Chengwen said: "Another time, he privately brought someone to copy the house of the former servant of the household department, although it was later proved that the other party was guilty of embezzling ink and silver. Forgive me, but Vice Commander Pei ransacked his house without evidence..."

"Because they couldn't find any evidence, that's why he did that?" Yu Zhou asked hastily.

"Anyone knows the truth, but His Majesty still punished him." Yu Chengwen said: "I can't remember how many times before and after. You were not in the court at that time, and you didn't care much about these things, so I don't know."

Yu Zhou used to wonder why so many people in court were so afraid of Pei Siyuan.

He himself was guilty of guilt at first, and Pei Siyuan was indeed very dignified, so he was afraid of the other party.

However, many old ministers in the court who were not young were a little apprehensive when they mentioned Pei Siyuan, which was puzzling.

Only now did Yu Zhou understand that it was because Pei Siyuan was too crazy. He seemed to have no real rights, but he had the audacity to copy others without giving any evidence.

But the emperor punished him again and again, but kept him by his side all the time.

Such a person, as long as there is a ghost in his heart, I am afraid that he would like to trample him to death.

"This time he has just solved such a case, and he has involved so many important relationships. It is the time when he is being hated." Yu Chengwen said: "It is really unwise for him to lynch on the street at this juncture."

Yu Zhou could not stop feeling hot and sour when he heard the words, and he didn't say anything for a long time.

"Father, if you were a courtier, what would you do now?" Yu Zhou asked.

"Your father is an ordinary person, so he naturally made trouble like others." Yu Chengwen said.

"But the arsonist wants to burn you to death, I just wish I could cut him into pieces with my own hands." After a long while, he sighed and looked at Yu Zhou and said, "He said he could protect you. Believe me, if he can escape unscathed this time, you will follow him in the future."

Yu Chengwen couldn't help but muttered while speaking: "Although I still can't figure out why he likes you..."

Yu Zhou: ...

The author has something to say:

Pei Siyuan: The first step is steady!
