I'm afraid you'll be widowed

Liang Guogong stared, hearing Pei Gong's nonsense, he became more and more furious.

Everyone in Shuntian Prefecture knows that Liang Guogong Pei Fangzai was left idle by Emperor Deqi, and he was "forced" to live a life of innocence for many years.

A dignified father-in-law plays birds and plays all day long, and only has fun in his life. Although he came from a military background, he hasn't lost his temper for many years.

However, Pei Gong still accurately touched his father's Ni Lin, and then turned it over fiercely.

Liang Guogong was already very angry: "Where is my whip? Bring me my whip."

"Hurry up, I'm going to kill you bastard today."

Pei Xuan couldn't help but pursed his lips, and hurriedly held his father's arm: "Father, Jianrang is still young."

"Maybe he just looked at the people on the sidelines, so he had such fresh energy for two days, so he didn't mention it in the past."

Liang Guogong's anger didn't stop at all: "You're still young? When I was his age, I was already beheading people at the border and was shot through the arm by the Tatars."

"Today, regardless of whether he is a man or a woman, I will beat him first for being unrecognizable and stubborn."

Pei Xuan saw that his father couldn't persuade him, so he turned to Pei Gong again, and said harshly: "Jian Rang, you are not sensible anymore, quickly admit your mistake to Dad."

Liang Guogong frowned: "Boss, get out of the way. Even if he admits his mistake today, I must punish this bastard and let him know who I am."

As he said, he turned his eyes and glanced at Pei Gong: "Pei Gong, kneel down for me."

Pei Gong, however, did not stubbornly distinguish between them as before, but bowed his head obediently.

"Jian Rang was really ignorant and idle before, seeing the crimes of the inner guards. Now that the second brother is in trouble, and the [-] Xuanfu guards died at the border. Not only did I fail to share the worries of my father and brother, but I caused countless disasters. The punishment is also reasonable. .”

"But I can't recognize a single word of the fault that Dad said now."

Pei Gong remained calm, but bent down at Liang Guogong's feet.

His voice was extremely calm, and he didn't yell or dissatisfy at all. He just said slowly: "It was my father and elder brother who taught me not to judge people based on their origins. I always remember it."

"If the things I do are wrong now, why are they wrong?"

Liang Guogong was speechless by Pei Gong's question, so he simply stopped talking nonsense, but quickly took the black iron whip from the servants, and slapped Pei Gong hard on the back.

Pei Gong immediately frowned in pain, his center of gravity became unstable and he almost fell down.But he still stubbornly straightened his back and refused to show half a word in front of his father to beg for mercy.

Seeing this, Liang Guogong became more and more angry from his heart, and he started to strike two or three times.

The Duke is old and strong, and in his hand is a black iron hard whip, which was once used by the Tatars on the battlefield.No matter how strong the horse is, how strong the armor is, a whip can almost break the horse's legs and pierce the heart.

The whole body of this whip is made of black iron, the body of the whip has a protruding round knot, the top is thin and long, it is undoubtedly a heart-wrenching pain when it hits a person.

Later, when Duke Liang was idle, the whip became famous and retired, and was stored in Duke Liang's mansion.Only when Pei Jiaerlang made a big mistake, would he be taken out to show his glory temporarily.

As for the brothers of the Pei family, it seems that Pei Gong has always suffered the most from this whip.

But Pei Gong was not a fool, whenever he saw his father act like this when he was young, he would cry a few times first, and naturally the whips falling on him would be less and lighter.

Only this time, Pei Gong became a dull gourd.

He didn't say a word, and just stood next to each other. Sure enough, after only three or five whips, blood was already oozing from his back.

Liang Guogong looked at the cold sweat oozing from Pei Gong's forehead, and the hand that raised the whip still couldn't help trembling slightly: "Pei Gong, do you know what's wrong?"

"Who should be near, who should be far away, who has impure intentions, you should also have some measure."

The corners of Pei Gong's mouth were twitching white, showing a laborious smile: "Pei Gong doesn't know what's wrong, if father thinks Fang Juan's background is bad, and making friends with him will cause gossip, Pei Gong has nothing to say."

"But, Pei Gong is not ashamed."

Liang Guogong was dumb: "You..."

"Okay, okay, your shoulders are stiff, I will take them off for you today."

As he spoke, he raised his hand and received two more whips.

Pei Gong's brows were clenched tightly, but he still sneered out of breath: "I was wrong, I thought Dad was the most reasonable person..."

"You son of a bitch." Liang Guogong once again swung the black iron whip angrily, but this time he really gathered all the strength in his hand, wishing he could smash Pei Gong in half with one whip.

"Father, I can't fight anymore." Pei Xuan hurriedly stood in front of Pei Gong, "What Jian Rang said...is not completely unreasonable..."

"My Pei family didn't do this kind of thing before. If there are other secrets, father should tell us clearly. Even if the third brother is really a man, I won't let you make such a heavy hand."

"Father must be clear in his heart that the third brother was not subdued by beating since he was a child. Even if you beat him to death today, he will not recognize his mistake."

Liang Guogong froze, and threw the black iron whip on the ground with a "bang". He didn't respond to Pei Xuan's words, he just stared at Pei Gong and said: "If you dare to find that Fang, I will destroy my relatives righteously."

Pei Gong smiled inexplicably with his back covered in blood.

In his heart, Fang Cenxi had only a phantom to sustenance, and he could not tolerate any stain or slander.

Pei Gong supported the corner of the desk in the study and got up slowly, but unexpectedly, he still pulled the wound on his body, dripping blood gushed out, his eyes darkened, and he fell to the ground completely.

Pei Xuan was surprised: "Jiangrang..."

Liang Guogong did not let go, and only left a sentence before he left with a flick of his sleeve: "If you faint, ask your servants to throw him into the woodshed to cure his stubborn problem."

"Even if your mother is here, don't let him out."

Pei Xuan supported Pei Gong, and finally he could only sigh deeply.

The day passed extremely quickly.

When the moon was high, the lock outside the firewood room was quietly removed.

Even the servants of Liang Guogong's mansion also rested, and their low voices echoed into the vast night without being noticed at all.

"Master Xiaofang, open it."

"I'll go to the front yard to watch the wind, you can go in at ease."

"Thank you." Fang Cenxi nodded slightly in front of the door, and then walked lightly and quickly into the firewood room of Duke Liang's mansion.

The courtyard suddenly returned to silence, and there was no other movement.

Pei Gong leaned against the wall, his disheveled hair was wet by his temples, his bloody back had scabs, stained with blood, and he was in a panic.

There is really no good meat around his always straight spine.

Fang Cenxi frowned, carefully tore off Pei Gong's clothes, and gently stroked Pei Gong's back.

Those wounds are like wild dragons and snakes, criss-crossing, very ferocious, just touching them can make Pei Gong frown.

Fang Cenxi sighed almost invisible, and slowly sprinkled the sore medicine he brought on Pei Gong's wound, and said in a slow voice, "I tell you not to be reckless."

"Why don't you listen to a word? Why do you want to suffer this whole body?"

Time has changed, Pei Gong, who had beaten him to the ground with a scabbard, will now be beaten to the ground with blood by Liang Guogong because of him.

Pei Gong's eyes were lifted a little, as if he was awake, but he seemed to be still groggy, and he just squeezed out a deep smile.

Fang Cenxi took out a porcelain bottle from his sleeve, put it under Pei Gong's nose, and forced him to smell the rosin of Ningshen.

After a while, Pei Gong's frowning and clenched teeth slowly relaxed, and he fell into a deep sleep.

Fang Cenxi fell down and sat beside Pei Gong leaning against the wall.

The woodshed was cold and dark, with only a few ray of moonlight coming in through the window.

Pei Gong's face lost the old blood, and now it showed a faint cold white against the moonlight.

When meeting Pei Gong for the first time, Fang Cenxi felt that his arrogant and arrogant appearance made people laugh.

But looking at his quiet posture now, his eyebrows are straight, his nose bridge is sharply carved, his thin lips are lightly drawn into the corners of his slender mouth, and even his jaw line is as smooth as nature itself, like a finely carved jade, not full or full. deficit.

With such an appearance, smiling like a bright moon in his bosom, and speaking of his youth, who would not like it?

Knowing that he should calm down and let go of this emotional entanglement, Fang Cenxi unexpectedly hugged Pei Gong into his arms.

Seeing that Pei Gong would not answer him again, Fang Cenxi couldn't help but softly whispered into Pei Gong's ear and asked, "Jiangrang, is it warm?"

"Is it as warm as you hug me?"

This was the first time he hugged Pei Gong, and maybe the last time.

he does not know.

"Stop doing such stupid things."

Fang Cenxi tightly hugged Pei Gong's hand, looked up at the moonlit window, he knew that he would never give Pei Gong another chance to do such a stupid thing.

The night is still long.

But to Fang Cenxi, it seems too short to be worth mentioning.

--------

The Nuan Pavilion is located in a corner of the Forbidden City, and it is still brightly lit at night.

The bamboo curtain still fell to the ground lightly.

The Lord Ling who was behind the invisible curtain saw Xi Huai entering the door, and asked in a familiar voice, "Are you back?"

Xi Huai bowed his head and said in a deep voice, "Yes."

The Lord asked again: "Have you been in the palace? Have you met His Majesty?"

Xi Huai raised his eyes, and with a pair of cold eyebrows under the hood, he looked towards the bamboo curtain: "Your Majesty seems to have been waiting for the affairs of the Duke of Liang's mansion, so he gave detailed instructions when we met. Waiting for the result."

"Why was it delayed so far before? This is not like the style of the Thirteenth Division's work."

The Lord was thoughtful, and couldn't help rubbing his fingertips towards the puller on his thumb.

Even though the others were sitting behind the fine bamboo curtain, Xi Huai still keenly caught the subtle movements.

Xi Huai asked coldly, "Did something happen to the inner guard of the Thirteenth Division?"

The master sneered, and picked up the tea boat on the table beside him: "This matter was originally entrusted to Linyuan, but he didn't get the letter back."

"As for the whereabouts, he has been unable to explain for a long time."

"He didn't do things like this before, and now he must have ulterior motives, but after all he..."

Xi Huai frowned slightly: "The letter has not been recovered, and it is not even whereabouts?"

The Lord Ling leaned on the armrest of the armchair: "I allowed him to enter the case library, and he was allowed to consult all the pond newspapers that Xuanfuwei had given to the imperial court for the past five years."

"But at most he can find a few suspicious people, and it will take some effort to investigate."

When Lingzhu's voice came to this point, he couldn't help but paused.

He said silently: "The case library... yes, the case library..."

"I actually forgot, he still has such a thing..."

"In the case library, there are not only Xuanfuwei's military case reports."

The Lord Ling thought for a moment, and finally got off the tea boat heavily: "Since His Majesty has ordered you to go and look at Linyuan."

"Yes." Xi Huai nodded, "This subordinate takes orders."

"The matter of Liang Guogong's mansion can't be delayed any longer, otherwise our thirteen divisions will not be able to do anything, and we will only struggle in front of His Majesty, and it will be difficult for us to sustain ourselves."

"If Linyuan has the slightest disagreement, you can execute it directly, and you don't need to ask Nuan Pavilion for instructions."

"Just remember to do it cleanly, I don't need to teach you about it."
