Datang: Showdown, your father and I are Li Shimin

Chapter 18
The strategy that Sima Yu and Sima Yao discussed before was too reckless.

He actually wanted to bribe a killer to assassinate Li Ze.

In the majestic city of Chang'an, it is truly audacious to do such a thing under His Majesty's nose.

Pei Ji stepped forward to help Sima and his son up, then sat aside, looked at Sima Yao with false admiration and said: "The little general is a man of good nature, he acts decisively, and he will become a great weapon in the future."

Sima Yu repeatedly smiled and apologized: "Lord Pei doesn't remember the faults of villains, so don't argue with Gouzi. Gouzi is very irritable and offended. I hope you will forgive me."

Sima Yao also showed embarrassment: "Pei Xiang was joking, Xiaosheng is really too reckless, just offended the adults, please forgive the sins of the adults."

Pei Ji stroked his beard and shook his head slowly: "So what's the point of understanding? The old man and your father are good friends. These trivial things are nothing to worry about."

"But..." Pei Ji's face suddenly darkened and his expression became serious.

Sima Yu and Sima Yao suddenly realized that Pei Ji was about to talk about business, so they sat up straight and listened sideways.

Pei Ji looked at Sima Yao with a solemn expression, and said slowly: "If you want to kill Li Ze, using force is too obvious, it is easy to attract people's suspicion, and once it is exposed, it must be a death sentence!"

"This old man has a trick. He can guarantee that Li Ze will surely die, and he can also guarantee the innocence of the two generals."

Sima Yao hurriedly saluted Pei Ji: "If there is a place to get Xiaosheng, Xiaosheng will definitely go through fire and water!"

Pei Ji waved his hand at Sima Yao: "You don't need to go there in person, Li Ze's hometown has smallpox, you just need to bribe some patients to make Li Ze infected with smallpox, and when Li Ze dies, there will be no proof, who will know it's you guys?" What did the two do?"

"What? Smallpox!" Sima Yu shrank back suddenly.

Smallpox is a terminal illness, and everyone's expressions changed when they talked about it. Sima Yu was horrified for a moment, and even Sima Yao looked terrified.

"This... this smallpox... is terminally ill!" Sima Yao looked at Pei Ji in horror, and thought to himself that the risk is so great, how could anyone dare to take such a risk?

"That's right, it's the terminally ill smallpox, but you don't need to do it yourself. Once the smallpox occurs, His Majesty will definitely call up the army to isolate the people, and you have the power of the right prison gate guard. It is easy to deploy the army at this time to assist Your Majesty surrounds Nadu Village in the name of isolating the people, and when the time comes, you will be tampering with each other, it will be seamless, and no one will know." Liu Xiuping, who was standing behind Pei Ji, immediately revealed his plan.

"Although smallpox is a terminal illness, there must be brave men who are rewarded with great rewards. Naturally, there will be people who are willing to help adults take care of Li Ze'er."

Pei Ji glanced back at Liu Xiuping appreciatively, and nodded slightly: "That's right, and naturally there are some people in your army who may contract smallpox, and buying your soldiers is more reliable than those ordinary people. You don’t have to worry about things being revealed, let alone whether it will succeed.”

"As for the old man, I will naturally help you erase all traces. After the matter is completed, the old man will be rewarded. At the same time, the two generals devoted themselves to the smallpox epidemic in the Tang Dynasty and died. They put their own lives aside. The hard work is obvious to all. I generously reward the two generals to encourage our soldiers of the Tang Dynasty to actively perform meritorious service."

After finishing speaking, Pei Ji narrowed his eyes and looked at Sima Yu and Sima Yao and his son.

Sima Yao looked at his father with a troubled expression, and handed over the decision-making power to Sima Yu, and it was not up to him to decide these matters.

Sima Yu was so excited that he was speechless for a long time. He quickly sat up straight and bowed deeply to Pei Ji: "Thank you, Mr. Pei, for your reminder. My Sima family will never forget Mr. Pei's kindness. If there is something that can be used in the future This place, the old man will surely die!"

Sima Yao followed suit and thanked Pei Ji in the same way.

Pei Ji quickly convinced the two of them, sighed and said: "Alas - the old man just showed a little clumsy skills due to a smallpox coincidence, if it wasn't for Li Ze, the Li Zi, how could the old man suffer such a great humiliation in the Caichaotang Li Zi, Li Ze, deserves to die!"

After finishing speaking, Pei Ji pretended to be extremely angry, waved his hands angrily, and stood up.

Sima Yu looked at Pei Ji's back, believed in Pei Ji's words, and sighed deeply behind Pei Ji's back: "Alas... the dog will reach the weak crown now, but he is not yet married, and he has repeatedly asked his eldest grandson Wu Ji waited to propose marriage, but they were rejected one after another. However, today, the eldest grandson Wuji, Du Ruhui and others wanted to betroth their daughters to Li Ze, a lowly man. ..."

As he said that, Sima Yu's face turned blood red, and the blood vessels on his neck and forehead exploded, as if they would explode on his face in the next second.

Pei Ji, who turned his back to Sima Yu, had an imperceptible smile on his lips.

This was the reason why he was sure that Sima Yu and others would cooperate with him, but Pei Ji never expected that Sima Yu would react so violently and wanted to put Li Ze to death.

However, it was precisely because of their reaction that Pei Ji was able to make things happen smoothly.

But at this time, Pei Ji still had a bigger chess game to play, so Pei Ji turned around suddenly and looked at Sima Yao: "Yao'er looks handsome, and he has made countless contributions to our Tang Dynasty. It’s all about knowing pearls and jade.”

Pei Ji changed the subject, then turned his head to look at Sima Yu: "The old man still has a daughter under his knees, who looks quite handsome and matches Yao'er's age. I don't know what General Sima wants?"

Sima Yu and Sima Yao looked at each other, and Sima Yu pulled Sima Yao violently: "You are rude, what are you doing in a daze, why don't you hurry up and thank Pei...Thank you father-in-law!"

Sima Yao's expression brightened immediately, and he quickly knelt down on the ground excitedly: "Xiaosheng thank you father-in-law!"

Pei Ji showed joy, and quickly helped Sima Yao up: "There is no need to be too polite, my Pei family and Sima's family will be in-laws in the future, and we need to take care of each other."

"I will choose a good day and auspicious day to marry Yao'er for my little girl. You can go about your business first, and Pei will bid farewell now, so there is no need to send him far away!"

After finishing speaking, Pei Ji cupped his hands towards Sima Yu and Sima Yao, and left the general's mansion.

Sima Yao still looked excited and excited.

"Let's do the right thing first. We can't pay back the favor we owe to others now."

After finishing speaking, the father and son dispatched an army to Du Village.

Sima Yu Sima Yao sent people at various levels to bribe many people living outside.

The price of ten taels of silver made them extremely jealous. Although they had already suffered from smallpox, they were sure to die, but their children inherited the money.

At the same time, Sima Yu's subordinates also said that once things are done, they will reward them with a hundred taels, and take them out of Chang'an, so that no one will ever find out what they have done.

Soon, Du Village gradually became a disaster-stricken area.

A large number of escaped smallpox patients poured into Du Village from the outside world.
