The world is broken, the cubs mend it

"So what if he heard it? Now he holds the military power, holds the emperor hostage, deceives the emperor, and makes the people live in misery.

How many people died in the flood in Quzhou, and how much money was allocated? He said it was for rebuilding the ancestral temple for the emperor, but I think he just pocketed it.

I believe that the Yan family's corruption and the Pei father and daughter's treason and collusion with the enemy were all true. Birds of a feather flock together.

Good people don’t live long, evil will last for thousands of years, I just hate that he didn’t follow me back then…”

Zhang Chang became more and more excited as he spoke, and many people around him looked over at him.

"Shut up, you are becoming more and more outrageous. How can you just say that?"

The official beside him pinched his arm hard, warning him that if he continued talking, he might lose his life.

At that time, more than 50 officials jointly wrote a letter to expose the corruption of Lord Yan, and the treason of Marquis Pei Jing and Major General Pei Zhihe.

The entire family of Pei and Yan was executed, blood flowed like a river, it was an inhumane act, and was only rehabilitated in recent years.

Shangshu Wang, whose property was confiscated a few days ago, was one of the officials who framed Pei Yan and his family.

Who doesn't know that he is seeking revenge?

Saying such things to his face really means you are living too long.

Under the gaze of other officials, Zhang Chang became more and more arrogant, and he wished he could demote Pei Zhiyan into the dirt.

"Why can't I say it? If the dogs are not castrated, there will be no peace in Daqing.

He sent heavy troops to guard the city gates and forbade us to go out. Isn't he trying to trap us to death here?

The new emperor is licentious and immoral, favors eunuchs and distances himself from wise officials. How can he be worthy of the trust of the previous emperor?"

"Mr. Zhang is loyal and brave, which makes us admire him."

A cold voice was heard, and the faces of the officials around him changed. They lowered their eyes and the atmosphere dropped instantly.

"..."

Because of his bold words just now, Zhang Chang stood out in front of his colleagues to save face.

Now that he saw the person appear in front of him, he was afraid but did not dare to retreat, and was in a dilemma.

"It seems that Lord Zhang misses and respects the late emperor very much."

There was a smile in Pei Zhiyan's eyes, and his tone did not reveal any emotion, but it made people feel as if they were bathed in a spring breeze.

"That... that's inevitable. When the late emperor was alive, the country was peaceful and the seas and rivers were clear. He was a wise ruler in Zhang's mind."

Zhang Chang had no choice but to answer. After serving in the same court for five years, he had no idea of ​​this man's emotions, and his heart was trembling as he answered.

"Since Lord Zhang misses the late emperor so much, we will send you to see him now, so that you can fulfill your loyalty to the emperor."

Pei Zhiyan's smile was gentle, he didn't look like a wicked eunuch, but rather like an elegant scholar.

The long sword was unsheathed, and the sharp tip of the sword glowed with a cold light.

"You...you dare, I am the emperor's order..."

Zhang Chang's words were all cut off as the sword was swung down. Blood spurted out like mist, and his eyes were still open before he died.

"Farewell, Mr. Zhang."

Pei Zhiyan looked at the bloody sword blade and felt much better.

He thought that he had become more merciful because he couldn't bring himself to do it at night, but now it seems that he hadn't.

The blood dyed the floor tiles of Zhaode Gate red, and the person who was standing next to Zhang Chang just now fainted from fright.

There was only sighing all around, and no one dared to stand up and say a word.

Pei Zhiyan left with his sword and walked out of the palace.

I tossed and turned for most of the night and when I woke up it was already noon.

Yuanyuan sat up and covered her eyes with her little hands, feeling severe pain in her eyelids.

The broken table in the room has been cleaned up and replaced with a nanmu one.

It was only after Wu Xian left the court that he learned that the seal-holder had left the palace and left a message asking him to take good care of the children in the next few days.

"Where's the bad dad?"

Every time I wake up, I can't find where he has gone.

"The seal holder has gone out of the palace on business and will not be back for some time."

Wu Xian carried her downstairs and handed her to Caizhi who was waiting downstairs to wash up.

"Thank God, it's all intact."

Caizhi muttered quietly as she combed her hair.

It seems that even someone as cold-blooded and vicious as Zhang Yin can be soft-hearted sometimes.

Her eyes were swollen from crying. Yuanyuan felt uncomfortable and didn't want to go anywhere.

After dinner, she sat under the porch and watched Xiao Fuzi perform magic tricks for her.

Wu Xian would come over in the afternoon and at night, and wait outside the door until she fell asleep.

I don’t know what’s so special about this child that makes the Palm Seal treat him differently.

Even if you are lonely and want a child to keep you company, you should find a smart and cute one.

This child is yellow and skinny. I heard that he cried all night yesterday. I don’t know what’s wrong with him.

The next day, Yuanyuan's eyelids were no longer swollen and she looked much more lively.

She originally wanted to go to Concubine Jing's palace to eat cakes, but Admiral Wu did not allow Caizhi to take her out, so she had to give up.

It was getting dark, and she felt a little uneasy as she hadn't seen Pei Zhiyan for two days.

"When will the old man come back?"

Admiral Wu only replied that it would be soon, and then coaxed her to go to sleep quickly.

On the third day, Yuanyuan sat at the palace gate, resting her face on her elbows and looking at the street outside.

The area in front of the gate was empty, and the palace servants were walking around it.

"Girl, what's wrong with you?"

Caizhi found that her appetite had decreased and she had no enjoyment of food. She ate half a bowl of lunch less today than in the previous two days.

"What did Dad do?"

Although Yuanyuan had a very bad impression of Pei Zhiyan, he was her biological father after all. She always felt a little uncomfortable after not seeing him for a long time.

"..."

Caizhi heard from the palace servants this morning that the Lord Seal-holder rushed 600 miles to Chuanlong County and massacred the entire family of Governor Qian.

There were fifty-seven people in total, including the elderly, the weak, women and children. The fire burned for a whole day and night.

Pei Zhangyin's crimes were too numerous to list. She was afraid and hated him in her heart, but she dared not do or say anything.

It was cloudy today and it started to rain heavily in the evening.

When Wu Xian came with an umbrella, he saw her sitting on the threshold of the main hall and asked, "Why don't you go inside when it rains?"

"When will my dad come back?"

Yuanyuan pulled his hand and stood up, looking up at his cold and hard profile.

"Tomorrow, go to bed early."

Wu Xian found it quite interesting to hear her address changing every day.

Today is the anniversary of the extermination of Pei Yan and his two families. He was not in the palace at this time of year in previous years.

The Pei family's ancestral hall had been burned down a long time ago, and he never went to worship after it was rebuilt.

No one knew where he went that day.

But every year at this time, he would kill his enemies with blood to comfort the souls of the dead.

Tiger Roaring Mountain——

Deep in the mountains and wilderness, a blood-red figure was kneeling on the ground, in front of him were three lonely graves, two large and one small.

"Mother, your child is here to see you."

Heavy rain hit Pei Zhiyan's body, and blood mixed with rain flowed down.

There are no inscriptions on these two tombstones. They are the cenotaphs of my uncle, mother and sister.

That year, their uncle protected the three of them and their mother and sister as they escaped. Unfortunately, their mother and sister were captured and died from humiliation and torture. Even their bodies could not be found.

In order to keep him alive, his uncle was also skinned and boned to death.

There was nothing he could do but run for his life.

He built these three lonely graves on his way to escape, but he couldn't even carve their names on them.

Some of the enemies from that time are still in Beijing, but most of them have been dispersed and appointed to local positions.

He would kill them one by one, let them all taste the pain of having their entire family wiped out, and bury the 315 people from the Pei and Yan families together.
