Rebirth of Bamboo Horse Treacherous

"Master also found it very strange. That day, when he was preparing to replenish Nanyang's pens, ink, paper and inkstones, a group of officers and soldiers rushed up and crushed our truck. Later, I went to see the master in the prison where he was temporarily held in Jiangnan. He said there was nothing serious to let us go. Don't be afraid, we'll be back in two days."

In the quiet room, Steward An picked out the candle wick, sighed and continued: "Who knows that the arrest warrant came down in a few days, saying that our master colluded with rebellious ministers and rebelled, and even the house will be sealed... At that time, I was afraid that you would not be able to find us, young master, so I gave the official of the Feng family some money and asked me to go in and clean it up, and then I put the account book of this restaurant on the master's desk."

Having said that, Butler An looked up at Pei Ye in relief, "Fortunately, you noticed it in the study, otherwise I really don't know how to find you."

"Uncle An has worked hard." Pei Ye was very touched in his heart.

It’s just such an old man who grew up with him and never left him when he was in trouble. He didn’t leave him even after his father left, and stayed with him through the most difficult period like a relative. time.

Pei Ye didn't know what would happen to him if he didn't have Butler An in his last life, but he knew that having Butler An would at least not make him helpless at that time.

Hearing Pei Ye's words, Butler An smiled, "It's hard work, I can only do so much with my old bones."

"Uncle An is not old!" Pei Ye hugged Butler An's arm coquettishly, and Butler An laughed happily.

Then he suddenly turned serious and said to Pei Ye: "By the way, there is something that the young master has never known, and now is the time to tell you."

Pei Ye let go of Butler An's arm and sat upright. "What's up?"

"It's a long story, about 20 years ago..."

Steward An lowered his eyes, looked at the dancing candles on the table, and spoke eloquently.

Pei Ye, who has experienced the previous life, already knows the outline of the story.

A very clichéd story. The late emperor paid great attention to people's livelihood. As a former minister, Mr. Pei's views on current affairs and some ideas of governing the country coincided with the previous emperor's. The two men were virtuous and loyal, and together they promoted many benefits to the country and the people. favored nation policy.

However, the good times didn't last long. The first emperor had been in poor health since he was a child, and died of illness not long after he came to power.

The new emperor came to power and focused on opening up the territory. The decision made by Master Pei and the first emperor was postponed, and it was delayed all the way.

Later, the military generals in the court gained power, and some people who had been weakened by Mr. Pei's recommendation before all jumped out to trip up Mr. Pei. Mr. Pei was depressed for a while, and it happened that Mrs. Pei gave birth to a young master.

After a sleepless night, Father Pei handed in his resignation and returned home the next day.

When leaving, the new emperor heard that Mr. Pei planned to go back to Jiangnan to do business, probably to show his love for the elders of the old dynasty, so he gave Zhang the brand of Jiangnan Imperial Merchant. Later, Mr. Pei wore this sign slowly In the shopping malls, the wind and water are booming.

"The big tree attracts the wind. How many years have passed since these things happened. I didn't expect to be dug out to make a fuss now." Steward An shook his head and sighed.

"So they dragged my father because of the grievances and resentments of the previous court battles?"

"more than."

Butler An thought for a while, stood up and closed the window, stared at Pei Ye and said solemnly: "When the late emperor passed away, he was afraid that the new emperor would overdo military affairs and despise literature, so he hid a treasure early in order to prevent the country from being defeated. A large sum of treasure, and gave the key to unlock the treasure to our master. I think...someone probably found out about this news, so they took this opportunity to find out..."

Listening to this, Pei Ye slowly broke out in a cold sweat.

He knew that Papa Pei was a former important official Yushi, but treasure maps and the like, shouldn't they be something that should only be in dramas? !

Thinking of all the bloody storms that would be caused whenever a treasure map was involved, Pei Ye felt a chill in his heart.

That's right, he also knows that it's just something in the drama, but the drama is also written by people, Pei Ye can't imagine what kind of scene it will be if these things really fall into reality...

"So... about the treasure map..."

Pei Ye looked at Butler An's hesitation, "Is it really just a legend?"

Steward An looked at him and shook his head silently.

Pei Ye took a deep breath in his heart, and before he could let go of his anger, Butler An continued to explain: "But there is only the key, and the emperor only told his younger brother where the treasure is, that is, the key." The current emperor, Huai Jin."

"oh, I see……"

Pei Ye slowly let go of his high-hanging heart. Also, how could the emperor give a treasure map related to the country to an outsider?

But that's good too, at least the emperor is standing behind, because there are a lot fewer people who just want to attack the Pei family.The key to the Pei family is easy to get, but what about after getting the key?

Pei Ye secretly breathed a sigh of relief, as long as the emperor didn't want the Pei family to fall, then everything would still have a chance to turn around, eh!As long as it's not... wait!

Before the words of self-comfort echoed twice in his heart, Pei Ye fell into panic again.

If not for the emperor...

So... what if it's the emperor...? !

Once the emperor and the courtiers, Mr. Pei is no longer the royal doctor who was favored by the former emperor. What if Emperor Jin wants the key to the treasure map in the hands of the Pei family?so what should I do now?

Clenching his fingers tightly, Pei Ye tried hard to recall what Shen Guzhi said.

He said that Huai Jingrang conveyed, 'he broke his promise'.

Break your promise, what do you break your promise?Don't you want to borrow the death-free gold medal?But these are just one-sided words of Shen Guzhi...

Pei Ye tried very hard to convince himself to believe in Huai Jing, but a seed of doubt was planted in his heart.

Pei Ye felt that it was necessary for him to return to the capital as soon as possible!

"Uncle An, besides the emperor, my father, and you, who else knows about this?"

"There is also Shen Li, the current Minister of the Ministry of Officials, but you don't have to worry, Shen Li has a very good relationship with the master in private, this time the gate was sealed but he didn't directly ransack the house, that's what Shen Shangshu begged in front of the emperor."

Pei Ye nodded, thinking of Shen Li's face that was sometimes serious and sometimes gentle, he felt a little grateful in his heart, but at the same time unconsciously became a little more wary.

It's not that he has no conscience and forgot Shen Li's kindness to him, but that he really can't afford to lose...

After bidding farewell to Butler An, Pei Ye went on the road overnight.

Originally, Butler An also wanted to go to Beijing with him, but thinking that the Pei family's property is still in the south of the Yangtze River, although it can't be compared with the past, it can't just be thrown away, right?

In the end, Pei Ye followed the driver and drove away. Butler An put out the candle and stood outside the door to see them off.

"Master, be careful all the way."

"Well! It's windy at night, you should go back quickly!"

"It's okay, I'll watch you go." Standing on the steps outside the door, Butler An smiled and waved to Pei Ye. Pei Ye's eyes turned red, and he asked the groom to urge the carriage to leave.

Pushing open a crack in the door, Pei Ye turned around and closed the car door silently until the figure of Butler An was no longer visible in the night.

There were two extra bags in the carriage, one was the dry food prepared for him by An Butler, and the other was the list of old friends in the capital that Butler An had compiled in advance.

Pei Ye opened it and looked at it, and the records were very detailed, from home address to personal hobbies, in every detail.In addition, there is a large stack of bank notes, which are not only for Pei Ye's money, but also for managing these people...

After rushing all the way to the capital, Pei Ye found a remote inn to stay.

Not long after entering Beijing, he heard the news that the eldest son of Prime Minister Shen's family had been taken home.

The eldest son of Prime Minister Shen's family?

Isn't that Shen Guzhi...

Thanks to the blessing of chasing after Shen Guzhi all day in his previous life, he still knows a little about the Shen family.

Old man Shen, Shen Mingxiu, was a flirtatious young man, married Shen Gu's mother and gave birth to Shen Gu, and then married the youngest daughter of Wu Cheng Xiaohou.

Cheng Xiaohou has assisted three emperors in his life. The eldest daughter is Concubine Wanshu who is in the limelight in the current harem, and the other two sons also hold important positions in the court.

To marry a daughter from such a family, of course it is impossible for her to be a concubine!

Originally, Old Madam Shen asked Shen Mingxiu to divorce his wife and marry another, but Shen Mingxiu was unwilling, and after two or three months of stalemate, finally the youngest daughter of the Wu family came in as a common wife.

Within a few years, the youngest daughter of the Wu family gave birth to a son, and later, Shen Guzhi's mother died of illness, and Shen Guzhi was sent to Jiangnan to recuperate.

In her previous life, Shen Guzhi returned to the capital with a title on the gold list and was taken into the Shen family.

What about this life?Pei Ye was very sure that Shen Guzhi had never taken the imperial examination in this life.

Besides, it has been more than half a year since Shen Guzhi came back from Jiangnan, why didn't he say it before, instead of waiting for them to come back from Pingyang before spreading the news that the eldest son of the Shen family was taken home?Isn't the timing a little too clever?

Pei Ye frowned and pinched his forehead, then turned around and hid the information booklet that Butler An had prepared for him in the cabinet.

When he left Jiangnan this time, Steward An told him that Master Pei once had someone bring him the key to the treasure land from Jiangnan, but Pei Ye thought about it all the way and couldn't figure out when he gave it...

Ever since he came to the capital with his servant girl, Father Pei would have people bring him all kinds of gadgets from Jiangnan every year, except for food for him to share with Fang Yan Huaijing. , and put everything else in a small box for him, and put them in his small room in Lifu.

So, are you looking for a chance to visit Loei?

Pei Ye had a faint resistance in his heart...

Hmm... I'm going to start spitting blood
