I'm afraid you'll be widowed

In the middle of the night with lightning and thunder, a downpour finally came late.

The conflict between Pei Gong and the inner guard ended in chaos.

The people fighting together realized later, and it took a long time to realize the abnormality: "Third Master, those people in the inn seem to have disappeared."

"No one is in there."

Seeing this, Pei Gong no longer wanted to fight.

They took advantage of the heavy rain to make noise, and quickly escaped into the night, completely throwing off the sight of the inner guards.

The night was getting darker, with lightning and thunder, and the rain was getting heavier and heavier.

In the courtyard of Duke Liang's mansion, the dwarf pine was hit by raindrops and its branches trembled wildly, as if dancing.

Xuanfu guards lost the army bandits, and Pei Gong saw that the inner guards were offended.

Bad things followed bad weather, no one was polite, and came straight to Pei Gong.

The noisy patter of the rain cut off most of the noises that night, but it still couldn't stop the continuous sound of scolding in the study of Duke Liang's mansion.

"Pei Jianrang, do you even dare to fight the inner guard? You are too courageous." Liang Guogong's son Pei Xuanji spoke with embarrassment.

He is only 35 years old, tall and straight, straight and handsome, and he looks like a person who is used to walking in the army.

And his handsome appearance and unsmiling appearance made his words even more majestic. Even Pei Gong, who has always been unruly, could only obey obediently in front of this elder brother.

Pei Xuan reprimanded his younger brother: "That is the inner guard of the Thirteen Divisions, a close minister of the emperor, and is more highly valued by His Majesty than Jin Yiwei."

"You, you, what do you want me to say about you?"

But even though Pei Gong was standing in front of the case, his eyes were slightly indifferent.

"Stand up straight." Pei Xuan slapped the desk in front of him, "Did you hear that, little brat."

Pei Gong was shocked by the sound of falling on the table.But the expression on his face didn't change, only his eyes were focused, and slowly moved to his elder brother Pei Xuan's angry face.

"Let's not talk about it, don't you know that our Liang Guogong's mansion has suffered from the inner guard?" Pei Xuan's tone was three-pointed, and then said, "It's only my father and I who have indulged you too much for so many years. Lawless."

"Don't look at the inner guards who are no more than fifth-rank. How can there be only a handful of officials who fall into their hands?"

"Do you really think that the inner guard has nothing to do with you today, so he let you run away with someone?"

The more Pei Xuan spoke, the more angry he became, and at one point he was so angry that he wished he could immediately pick up the ruler used to teach children to teach books, and personally give the donkey-like young brother Pei Gong a meal to serve him.

However, he got up in a hurry, but before he could stand still, his large movements inevitably pulled his right leg with old injuries.

Hearing the armchair slam down, Pei Xuan lost his balance and leaned forward unavoidably.

A trace of worry flashed in Pei Gong's eyes, he hurried forward a few steps, his eyes were sharp and his hands quickly supported his elder brother, completely interrupting the crisis that almost caused Pei Xuan to fall.

Pei Xuan borrowed his strength, quickly adjusted his center of gravity and stood still.

Seeing that his elder brother had stabilized his body, Pei Gong slowly let go of his hands and said in a deadpan expression, "Brother, you have to be more careful, if you fall again, father and sister-in-law will feel sorry for you for a long time."

Pei Xuanyu looked at Pei Gong angrily, dragged his lame leg and clasped the corner of the table to stand firm: "Pei Gong, don't use these things to act good in front of me. Do you think you can calm me down by helping me?"

"Do you know how much trouble you have caused?"

Pei Gong didn't say a word, but seeing his eldest brother in such a state, the arrogance on his face that was thick just now, after all, more than half of it was suppressed.

Of course he knew why his brother was so angry.

Everyone in the court resents the inner guards, but no one is afraid of the power of the inner guards.

The internal guards headed by Lingzhu belong to the Thirteen Divisions, and they are the most mysterious existence in the Ming Dynasty.

The Thirteenth Commander has twelve co-leaders under his command, with a total of more than a thousand people. They are directly controlled by the current emperor. Except for the direct seal, few people know their true identities.

Therefore, these internal guards are everywhere, specializing in spying on courtiers and assassinating political enemies, with unlimited power and no restricted areas.

And unlike Jin Yiwei's full-time prison guard, the identity of the inner guard is more secretive.They never showed their true faces, and usually hid in the courts and alleys of the palace. As long as they were under the jurisdiction of the imperial power, there would be inner guards.

The courtiers often only know the person, but have not seen him in person, so it is even more difficult to guard against the inner guard.

The rain outside the window kept hitting the window frame.

The atmosphere in the study was tense for a while.

Pei Gong paused, and finally opened his mouth slowly towards Pei Xuan.

His tone was light, as if he couldn't hear any emotions for a while, but his words were extremely angry: "It was they who tore up the road citation documents first, and I couldn't bear it before I did it."

"Father and elder brother defended the frontier and defended the country before, they were loyal and loyal, and they made great achievements in battle." But the gangsters in the inner guard who didn't even dare to show their faces, except for those sinister deeds that secretly calculated people, but Will do nothing, "What do they count?"

There was obvious disdain in Pei Gong's eyes.

"It doesn't matter if you don't contribute to the country, but to harm the courtiers who are as loyal to the monarch and the country as we are, is it not as good as animals?"

"They are so domineering and arbitrary, do you think it is the meaning of the Holy One?"

"You..." Pei Xuan was at a loss for words, and he couldn't refute for a while.

Internal guards have special powers and act mysteriously.

But it is also because of this level of convenience that many of the inner guards took personal revenge, helped the tyrant to abuse, and teamed up with powerful officials to clean the court.

With power in their hands, they can unscrupulously trample on human life and dignity in this world, and they can confidently ignore the merits of others and exclude dissidents.

Pei Gong continued: "Father, who spent most of his life as a soldier, has quelled chaos and ruled the borders. He has made great contributions to the country. Now he lives in the mansion all day, practicing calligraphy and playing with birds. How can he still have half of his previous sharpness?"

"Even your leg, brother, if it wasn't for fighting on the battlefield, how could you have fallen off the horse? How could you have suffered a lame injury that is difficult even in this line of work?"

Liang Guogong's mansion has worked hard for his family and country, and shed blood and sweat for the people.

How come in the end, you are willing to be bitten and ride on the head by a group of dogs who rely on human power?

"I can not be reconciled."

The raindrops hit the window frame again and again, and the thin sound became more and more rapid, but the scolding in the room suddenly stopped.

Pei Xuan couldn't help but heaved a long sigh: "The inner guard has indeed done a lot of evil, and being hated by others is not a matter of a day or two."

"But you shouldn't conflict with them because of these things."

Even the dignified Prince Liang couldn't help frowning, and with a sad face, he began to comfort him earnestly.

"Do you know who you hurt?"

"The leader of the association is called Linyuan. He is a man who uses a pen like a knife. He is ruthless and will exact revenge. He kills people without lifting a knife, and he doesn't see blood when he dies. It's a common practice to confiscate the family and seal the mansion. One person is worth half of Jinyiwei's northern town."

"Don't think that you are powerful if you can gain the upper hand with your hands. There are still people who can destroy your family as long as they move their fingers and grind their lips."

"Do you understand how much trouble you have caused?"

"You... ugh..."

Pei Gong's expression was indifferent: "Brother, it's not that I don't know what's wrong."

"But I just can't swallow this for you and father, for our Pei family. You are the most hated inner guards in the capital. Why do you have to bear it all the time?"

The ruler was thrown heavily on the table, making a loud noise.

Pei Xuan's words became urgent again: "It is impossible for me and father to be reused by the emperor again."

"But do you have to suffer His Majesty's suspicion even with your second brother, and you have to wait until you see our Liang Guogong's mansion has completely fallen, before you regret it?"

Pei Gong was startled, and suddenly frowned slightly.

Pei Xuan's ruler was tapped on the table again and again, obviously unable to calm down: "The family must not spoil you like this anymore, allowing you to idle around, and sooner or later you will cause big trouble."

"You don't have to take care of your second brother Xuanfu Weizhong's affairs, I will deal with Lu Yinwen and Xuanzhou Weizhong."

Pei Gong was startled: "But..."

Pei Xuan ordered without rebuttal: "From tomorrow, you can go to Jinyiwei to find me an errand with a lower rank. Let me go to the outer suburbs of Beijing to investigate cases, and avoid wandering around the capital."

"Big brother..."

Pei Xuan interrupted sharply: "I've made up my mind, it's useless to say more."

"If you really want to share our worries for us, then obediently do it for me and avoid causing me trouble."

"Either go to Jinyiwei as a leader, and go outside Beijing to avoid the limelight slowly, or you can see if Daddy will break your dog legs."

Pei Gong couldn't accept it for a while, and couldn't help asking: "Even if I am obedient and obedient to take over the errand, you want me to investigate the case for Jin Yiwei?"

"How many catties and taels do I have, brother, don't you know?" He laughed out loud as if mocking himself, "Then why don't you let Dad break my legs."

"Stop laughing with me." Pei Xuan's ruler slammed down on the table, "There is no need to discuss this matter, you have to go if you don't."

"I know you have no brains, and I didn't expect you to find anything from the beginning, so I have already considered this matter."

"..."

What is brainless?

Pei Xuan said in a deep voice: "The Dali Temple will assist in the investigation of the case outside Beijing, and it will send an official to judge the matter for you to investigate together."

As long as you don't cause trouble for me and follow through on the errands, you can be regarded as respecting your duties and responsibilities.

He pinched his brows wearily, as if he was half absent-minded, afraid that he hadn't considered it thoughtfully enough.

Pei Xuan made another mental entreaty: "When you go outside Beijing, no one will support you, so be honest and be a man with your tail between your legs."

"Stop attracting attention, and wait patiently for the limelight to pass."

"Brother..." Pei Gong finally felt worried, "Arrange me to go out of Beijing to avoid the limelight. If the inner guard really wants to settle the score after autumn, then you and father..."

"Okay, our Duke Liang's mansion is not a piece of paper. Your eldest brother is still the commanding officer of the Jinyi Guards, and it's not your turn for me and dad to worry about it." Pei Xuan then sighed softly, "You go outside the capital, Big brother can't take care of you, so you have to take care of yourself."

"If you have any grievances, just bear with it. If you encounter someone who is really lawless, come back to Beijing and tell me."

"Do your job well, you can't finish it, don't come back to Beijing secretly, and let me worry less about you."

"I...Okay." Pei Gong lowered his head reluctantly, "I will take care of it, big brother, just don't worry."

"If you go on a business trip again, don't call me big brother." Pei Xuan glared at him, "I'll personally send you to be whipped by black iron in front of father."

The author has something to say:

They all serve the emperor, Jin Yiwei does some full-time work, and the inner guard does some part-time work: D
