I'm afraid you'll be widowed

Pei Gong met Cen Xi's gaze without any hesitation.

He looked at it carefully and earnestly, as if he wished to portray Fang Cenxi's appearance a hundred times in his heart, and it was reflected in the deepest part of his mind, so that he would never forget it.

After a while, he suddenly sneered and laughed out loud as if mocking himself.

Pei Gong reached for the wine glass again, but was held down by Fang Cenxi.

Fang Cenxi was expressionless: "I said, don't drink any more."

"Duke Liang's mansion has a new funeral. If you go back to the mansion drunk, if someone who pays attention sees it, do you want to wait to be taken in?"

Pei Gong rubbed his forehead, propped his head in boredom and chuckled lightly: "Aren't you the least concerned about what other people think and see?"

"Now you will be the official of the temple, and you will take charge of me?"

Fang Cenxi threw away the wine glass thrown by Pei Gong, and said softly, "If a leech wants to suck blood, there is always a place to bite."

"You don't care about it, is it true that Liang Guogong's mansion is also fearless? The Duke and the son have nothing to do with each other?"

Pei Gong was taken aback by the question.

How could he not understand these things in the time since his second brother's accident?

People and things in this world never go smoothly with a clear conscience.

There are always vicious people with sinister intentions, and they will treat others they meet by chance with all-out malice in order to seek petty profits.

Fang Cenxi lowered his eyes, slightly raised the corners of his mouth and said in a warm voice: "Third Master is like this, you can't be someone else's backer."

"We all have things we haven't finished, and now we're on the wrong side. Now it's just the right time to go back to our respective paths."

Fang Cenxi lightly touched the wine glass with his slender fingers, and he drank the wine in front of him.

The top-quality Qiulubai is also mellow in the mouth, without any heavy spicy taste.

"This meal is also my farewell to the third master."

"I have other errand arrangements, I'm afraid I won't be here for a few days, I hope that the journey will be beautiful, and the third master must cherish it."

Pei Gong propped his chin, his body didn't move, but his thin lips parted: "You always look like this."

"It's my money to say it's for me, and it's my money again and again. It's really a traitor. It's okay, so I don't have to worry about it."

He twitched the corner of Fang Cen Xi's eyebrows: "Forget it, let me see you off."

"If you encounter difficulties in the future, come again..."

His voice paused: "That's right, if I don't drag you to investigate the Nancheng case, where will you encounter difficulties?"

"Cen Xi is a lucky person, and he will surely turn bad luck into good fortune."

Fang Cenxi's hand holding the wine glass tightened unconsciously, and for a moment his fingertips turned white.

Pei Gong was much more calm than he imagined, even now, he can still send him off with a good voice.

Many people said that Fang Cenxi was lucky.

But for Fang Cenxi himself, he would rather not have this luck.

If he could choose, he would rather die on the tower of Jianzhou Mansion, flow into the sea with the blood of Jianzhou city residents, be scattered to the ends of the earth by the churning waves, and completely merge with the dust and mud of his hometown .

Whether it was saving his life under the butcher knife of the Japanese riots in Jianzhou, or being the son of a "traitor" but facing an amnesty, or being promoted by the emperor himself, Fang Cenxi is indeed a bit more lucky than ordinary people, Therefore, this inevitably became the subject of his ridicule.

Probably only the "blessing" that Pei Gong mentioned is really wishing him to live happily without any worries.

The more sincere this wish was, the more heartbreaking it sounded to Fang Cenxi.

He obviously got the most precious thing in the world, but he couldn't take it, and had to smash it to the ground.

Fang Cenxi could only show a deep smile on his face, covering up the redundant look in his eyes: "Thank you, Third Master."

"There is one more thing. The inner guards know that the traitors of the Xuanfu Guards have entered the capital. If they want to come to Mr. Pei, they have already lurked the inner guards of the Thirteenth Division. We can start to investigate from the people of the Xuanfu Guards."

"This is an out-and-out framing, and if you are a little careless, you will be doomed forever."

"You have to be cautious. Don't act impulsively. The Thirteenth Division is secretly... difficult to deal with."

Pei Gong nodded with a smile: "You have instructed me so carefully, do you really want to break up with me?"

"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter, it's good to speak clearly."

"Let's take care of each other. If there is a happy event in the future, don't forget to ask me to have a glass of water and wine."

Finally, Pei Gong bent down to rub some long hairs of Bailanghua, and looked at the small courtyard in Tianshui Lane.

The moonlight has already hung on the tip of the tree, shining so brightly that the whole courtyard seems to be covered with a layer of light white gauze.

Fang Cenxi was sitting in front of the window, like an exiled immortal, with a dim light, making the surroundings dim.

The silvery moonlight was slowly flowing on his face, making the bridge of his nose straighter, and his slightly drooping eyebrows seemed to be full of unpredictable emotions.

Pei Gong was clearly very close to Fang Cenxi, but for some reason, he still felt that there was an insurmountable distance between Fang Cenxi in front of him.

He knew he had to go.

So Pei Gong stood up with his body covered in moonlight.

"Cen Xi, it's great to have you as a friend."

"Remember to apply medicine to the wound on your hand."

--------

day.

Liang Guogong's mansion.

I don't know if it was because of drinking too much wine, but when Pei Gong woke up, he still felt a splitting headache.

Only the younger sister Pei Siqi called him repeatedly: "Third brother, third brother."

"Father went to the palace in the morning, and when he came back, he asked elder brother to talk to the study, but he hasn't come out yet."

"Will you go and see them?"

Pei Gongqiang cheered up, followed the younger sister's words and went to the study to find his father and brother.

As soon as he entered the door, he greeted Liang Guogong with a sentence: "The emperor has not allowed the Pei family to carry the coffin back to Beijing. The second child must go to the ground first, and he can't stay still like this."

Pei Xuan frowned: "How can this be done? Do you want Ling Jin to leave his hometown and just be buried in the Xuan Mansion?"

"Father, absolutely not. I would rather risk my life than let Ling Jin's corpse return to Shuntian."

"Is it because the second brother's grievances cannot be cleared, and the corpse will not be called back to Beijing?" Pei Gong remained expressionless.

"Father, brother, are we going to be passive like this?"

"What do you know? Don't make any trouble." Liang Guogong didn't even change out of the round-neck python robe he entered the palace, but just sat on the armchair in the middle of the study thoughtfully, "How can this matter be as easy to investigate as you think? "

Pei Gong said in a deep voice, "Is it because you got mixed up with Thirteen Divisions, so Dad dare not deal with it?"

"Father, if Your Majesty is determined to get rid of our Pei family, will we be able to avoid it if we keep retreating like this?"

Pei Xuan closed his eyes and sighed deeply.

Are the words Pei Gong said not from his heart?

The second brother, Pei Ying, was sensible since he was young, and he knew to share the responsibility of taking care of his younger siblings for him at a young age. Because of this, he, the eldest brother, took the least care of him.During Pei Xuan's seven years of war on the frontier, Pei Ying never caused his younger siblings to suffer any grievances.

When Pei Xuan was lame after falling from his horse, Pei Ying took on the important task of leading the army to defend the frontier for him.

Although this second younger brother treats people coldly, he never complains. He is so strong that even his elder brother, who is used to seeing life and death, feels distressed.

Therefore, after all, the family member Pei Xuan has treated the most in his life is undoubtedly Pei Ying, the second brother.

For so many years, the sons of the Pei family have fallen one after another. If the father and his own can be explained as a coincidence, what should Pei Ying say now?If it wasn't for someone's obstruction, could it be that the Pei family committed a crime?

Pei Gong continued: "The night we caught the traitor of the Xuanfu Guard, it was Lin Yuan, the leader of the Internal Guard Association, who made the first move. We even had conflicts over this."

"How did the Thirteenth Division know about the guards of the Xuanfu? Did the second elder brother sneak into the inner guards, or did Duke Liang's mansion bury the inner guards' eyeliner from the very beginning?"

Liang Guogong frowned, and immediately looked sideways at Pei Gong, his eyes were deep and sharp: "Who told you these words?"

Pei Xuan teased his father's actions, and frowned thoughtfully.

Pei Gong's eyes were light: "I don't need anyone to tell me about this, it's just a common sense deduction."

When Liang Guogong heard the words, he couldn't help but sneered: "When did our youngest have such a brain? Not like that."

Pei Gong was also not angry, and he was not as stubborn as before, but he said calmly: "I can dig that person out, but I must."

"Justice is not a gift from God, it has to be earned by oneself."

Pei Xuan also said calmly: "I have seen the details of the few people sent by Xuanfu earlier."

"I also doubted this. Among those few people, two were born in Shuntian. What Jian Rang said is not unreasonable."

Liang Guogong looked at the two sons who said left and right, and then smiled to himself: "The eldest son is now, and I, a father, can't control it anymore."

"Father is getting old, so it's not as good as you. Since we are a family that shares weal and woe, you just go and investigate. Our Duke Liang's mansion can't cause trouble, but we can't be afraid of it."

"There is only one thing." Liang Guogong glanced coldly at Pei Gong's shoulder, "You were too impulsive to save Fang Pingshi from Dali Temple before."

"The Fang family is notorious in Jianzhou. He is indeed innocent, and he certainly has the ability to become an official. But Erlang, who grew up immersed in this environment, must be deep-minded and elusive. He is not the same kind of person as you. "

"You shouldn't have too much to do with him."

When Pei Gong heard this, he only met his father Liang Guogong's gaze: "Why does father use the heart of a villain to judge the belly of a gentleman?"

Pei Xuan immediately frowned: "Jian Rang, why are you talking to Dad?"

Pei Gong smiled self-deprecatingly: "Don't worry, Dad, there will be no more trouble. He has left Beijing, and there will be no more in the future."

"It's just that before leaving, he also told me not to be reckless, but to think more about my father and brother in Liang Guogong's mansion."

"Jian Rang..." Pei Xuanke winked at Pei Gong, "Why are you talking nonsense again?"

"One day later?" Liang Guogong stroked his beard and raised his eyes suspiciously, "You were so drunk last night that you went to find this Fang Cenxi again?"

"Okay, you Pei Gong, are you good at it? You're so thoughtful, you think me and your elder brother can't see it? Do you still have the face to tell me?"

"There's nothing to dare to say." Pei Gong lowered his eyes, "It's not like he's something shameful."

"It's his father, Fang Lian, who killed the citizens of Jianzhou, not him."

"Father, you haven't seen him yet, have you? Why are you just adding insults and judging at will?"

"Jian Rang, are you crazy?" Pei Xuan was in a hurry to smooth things over, "Father, Jian Rang is also impulsive, so don't be as knowledgeable as him."

Pei Gong didn't seem to see his furious father Liang Guogong, so he just slightly raised the corners of his mouth.

"He can see the suffering of all beings and is willing to treat others kindly."

"I like him, frankly."
