The Male Wife

After the catch week was over, Pei Cheng never saw the white pearl in the storeroom at home again. Out of curiosity, Pei Cheng ran to Steward Jiang and asked where the big pearl was now.

Butler Jiang's beard was trembling when he was laughing at the time, showing that he was really happy, "The pearl was crushed by the master, and he said it was for the second young master to soak him in water to drink when he grows up."

"Jiang Yan is a boy, right?" Pei Cheng didn't react for a while, only remembering that it is popular for girls to drink water with pearl powder, but he didn't expect that Jiang Linzhi would be in a good mood to soak the pearl powder for Jiang Yan water to drink.

What kind of pearl powder can a boy in Jiangyan drink without being afraid of being laughed at?

But when Pei Cheng saw Jiang Guanjiale's face that couldn't be spent, he realized that Jiang Linzhi did it on purpose.

Closer to home.

After the catch-up week was over, Jiang Linzhi sent away the distinguished guests who attended the Hundred Days Banquet that day. It was a great honor for these people to show up—the Inorganic Pavilion has face, and they also have face.

After all, not everyone can get the invitation to the [-]-day banquet for the son of Pavilion Master Jiang of Wuwu Pavilion.

After the end, Pei Cheng lay on the bed with a sore back and aching back. He wanted his servant to press it for him, but after thinking about it, he asked him to press it for him himself after Jiang Linzhi came back from the outside.

Jiang Linzhi's face was ashen and he helped Pei Cheng to press his shoulders. Although his expression was not good-looking, he still had no complaints, "Just now Chu Xun said a few words to me alone."

Pei Cheng was drowsy and almost didn't realize what Jiang Linzhi was talking about. After a while, Pei Cheng finally realized: "What did Chu Xun tell you?"

"He told me that he seemed to see the second prince near the inn today." Jiang Linzhi said lightly, "But he is not sure whether it is true or not."

Pei Cheng was startled, and almost jumped up, but Jiang Linzhi pressed his shoulder compulsively, preventing him from getting up, "Don't move."

Pei Cheng lay on the bed and continued to enjoy the man's massage, frowned, and said, "If Chu Xun is not [-]% sure, he will definitely not talk to you."

"Right now we need to investigate all the inns in the city, but if there is no legitimate reason, it is not easy to investigate directly." Jiang Linzhi frowned, with a rare serious tone, "In the past few days, the City Lord's Mansion has sent people to the gate of the city. I have been secretly observing the people coming and going, but no one has reported the discovery of the second prince. But Chu Xun said..."

Pei Cheng was not in the mood to continue enjoying, he signaled Jiang Linzhi to stop, then got up, sat cross-legged on the bed, looked at Jiang Linzhi, and then said: "If Chu Xun is not [-]% sure, he won't treat you casually Open your mouth, but what if Chu Xun really got it wrong? Shi Tienan sent many people to guard the city gate, but no one saw the second prince. How could it be such a coincidence that Chu Xun saw it..."

He always felt a little worried about whether Chu Xun was really wrong.

The corner of Jiang Linzhi's mouth twitched slightly, "I thought you would believe Chu Xun's words."

Pei Cheng didn't hear the smell of gunpowder from the man's words, let alone the smell of jealousy, "Chu Xun never lied to me, and he has no reason to lie to me about this matter, let alone you."

Jiang Linzhi's face darkened, "You really think so?

Only then did Pei Cheng realize that something was wrong, "Why are you jealous, I just said it casually. Besides, Chu Xun really never lied to me once, but you have lied to me many times. Should you admit it?"

Jiang Linzhi squinted his eyes, looked Pei Cheng up and down, and kept his face shut.

Pei Cheng didn't care if Jiang Linzhi's sour vinegar really spilled out, "I think Chu Xun should have really seen the second prince, otherwise he wouldn't have said that."

"How to say?"

Pei Cheng analyzed with him: "We know that the second prince is not dead, but it doesn't mean that Chu Xun also knows. Now the whole world knows that the second prince died at the hands of a foreign race, and he killed the foreign race before he died. Little leader, how can anyone not believe the news of such a person's death coming from the mouth of the Jiang family?"

The Jiang family has been generals for generations, and their loyalty is very high, so even if the new emperor thinks that the Jiang family has made great achievements, and wants to suppress the arrogance of the two Jiang family brothers, there is no way out.

After all, loyal ministers cannot be suppressed at will.Otherwise, it will chill the hearts of the other subordinates below.

Although the new emperor is beginning to dislike the Jiang family gradually, he also knows this truth.

"Chu Xun has returned to Baicheng from the imperial capital a long time ago, so he is probably just like everyone else. He only knows that the second prince died in the barracks, but he doesn't know that it is fake news, so..." Pei Cheng touched His own chin, "The second prince should be in the city now, but the question now is how did the second prince hide the truth."

"Chu Xun has stayed in the imperial capital for many years, and he is more familiar with the appearance, figure, behavior and behavior of the second prince than those guards guarding the gate of the city, so he said that the second prince is in the city now, which may be true." Jiang Lin Putting aside his prejudice against Chu Xun, he knew that the best thing to do now was to trust Chu Xun.

"When will the second prince go to see Shi Tienan in person?" Pei Cheng said.

"I don't know." Jiang Linzhi said plainly, "From today onwards, we will reduce the number of Guangxi with the city lord's mansion on the bright side, so don't go in the future."

Pei Cheng knew that the man was worried that he would be threatened by the second prince. He knew the seriousness of the matter, so he nodded, "Yes."

Jiang Linzhi's expression improved slightly, "Let's rest, you must be tired today."

Pei Cheng stared into the man's eyes and nodded hesitantly.

He felt that Jiang Linzhi seemed to be hiding something from himself.

Lowering his eyes, Pei Cheng knew that he couldn't help in some places, so keeping silent was the best help.

Since Jiang Linzhi doesn't want him to know what happened, Pei Cheng doesn't need to ask more questions now, because when the time comes, Jiang Linzhi will naturally take the initiative to tell Pei Cheng.

at the same time.

The second prince Dao who just fell asleep is now probably hiding in the city. Shi Tienan was frightened into insomnia again. Mrs. Shi was so angry that she put on her coat and was about to leave. During this time, Shi Tienan was always surprised , I can't sleep with him at all, so I might as well go to the next room to sleep by myself.

Shi Tienan watched Mrs. Shi's leaving back, and remained silent. He put on his clothes, sat on the chair, and after a long time, called the young man who was guarding outside, "Go and find the young master, let him come to see me."

The boy ran out with the lantern.

Not long after, Shi Sanqing appeared with dark circles under his eyes, "What happened to father again.

Shi Tienan handed Shi Sanqing a cup of tea with a heavy face, "To relieve fatigue, drink some."

"I don't drink." Shi Sanqing felt that he was very filial, and he was not angry when he was called out of bed again and again, "I have to go back to sleep later, and I can't fall asleep after drinking."

"You can still sleep now, I feel like I'm going to blow up now." Shi Tienan sighed faintly, "Just now the people from Wuji Pavilion came to tell me that the second prince is probably in the city right now."

Shi Sanqing was completely taken aback.

In the next second, Shi Sanqing picked up the teacup that he had just rejected, and drank the still warm tea in it, "You won't be sleepy after drinking it. Father, is this news true? It was said yesterday that the second prince just Leaving the barracks, it is very likely that he will head towards the new southwest, why did he come tonight? Will he come directly to our house next time? "

Shi Tienan was worried about this matter, so he called Shi Sanqing over in the middle of the night, "It is better to ask for others than to ask for ourselves, we must find a way. If it is really the second prince... our family will be over."

"The matter may not be as serious as you think." After thinking about it, Shi Sanqing still feels that he should trust Jiang Linzhi, "The pavilion master said that as long as the second prince thinks about himself, he will never take the initiative to make things big .We'll be fine."

"But it's different now. He was able to get to New Southwest in such a short period of time. He must have decided to die. I think...forget it, I can't sleep now." Shi Tienan said with a sad face, " I really can't sleep."

"Father, if we don't ask someone to find the second prince in the city tomorrow, otherwise, we have to preemptively strike. Passivity is always worse than initiative." Shi Sanqing's eyes lit up, and he felt that his method was a good one.

Shi Tienan shook his head, "If there is no ghost in our hearts, why did we take the initiative to find him? If he sees us, he will know. What if we startle the snake?"

Shi Sanqing was dejected, "Isn't there really nothing to do now?"

"It's not that there's no way, but I just feel a little sinister." Shi Tienan said.

"Father, what do you want to do?" Shi Sanqing noticed that Shi Tienan's expression became very strange.

"If it really doesn't work, we, let's set fire to the mountain." Shi Tienan said with a gloomy face, "Only in this way can we completely break the second prince's mind.

But Shi Tienan didn't think about whether the fire could burn the official money, or if a fire aroused the attention of others, wouldn't it be a waste of time to fetch water from the bamboo basket and work for nothing.

"But our back mountain is connected to other mountains. If we get involved...if the matter is investigated, who is responsible for it?" Shi Sanqing is still a little more rational.

Shi Tienan's face was sullen, and he didn't know what to do immediately.

The father and son sighed, looked at each other, and then remained silent.

It is said that the three cobblers are better than Zhuge Liang, why the method they two came up with is useless at all.

Shi Sanqing felt that it was his father's idea that was too naive.

Shi Tienan felt that his son was really stupid.
