Pei Gonggui

The two jailers locked the cell door again. Mei Linyu walked out of the cell door and stood beside Pei Jun. Together with Pei Jun, they watched Cai Yang in the cell retreat and hide, screaming at the top of his voice:

"You guys are so brave! Get the hell out of here! Where are there so many rats here!"

"Hey, University scholar Cai forgot?" Pei Jun was pacing outside the prison, turning his head lightly to watch Cai Yang's rats scurrying, and said strangely, "The Ministry of Punishment is located on the old Beijing waterway, and the rats have already been infested. In the past few years, many times in these years, the cabinet has asked for funds for repairs, but the cabinet has turned back and refused on the grounds of insufficient treasury and silver. Therefore, seeing that Dali Temple and Yushitai have added new tables, new stools and new fences, the Ministry of Punishment has to pay them back. Are you going to catch mice by yourself? No, the mice have been caught here for the past three years, so please ask Master Cai to have a look.”

"Pei Jun! You're fucking crazy!" Cai Yang kicked away the jailer in front of him, climbed onto the fence of the cell door and stretched out his hands frantically, trying to scratch Pei Jun's indifferent face at the moment.He cursed with a ferocious face: "No matter how powerful you are, my father is still the chief of the cabinet and the leader of the three princes! If you kill me, there will be no place to bury you in the future!"

"Who said I was going to kill you? You really take yourself seriously." Pei Jun leaned back slightly, letting Cai Yang's dusty fingers wave in front of his nose, and sneered, "If you die, you Isn’t dad a lot of trouble? I’m not willing to do that.” After he finished speaking, he chuckled lightly, and ordered the jailer to say, “Call some people over, and let’s practice together with Cai Dashi.”

The two jailers immediately got the order, and immediately dragged Cai Yang to the inside of the cell, shouted a few times, and called two more jailers.

Pei Jun watched coldly as the two guards lifted Cai Yang up with one hand, the other two picked up Cai Yang's leg, and the other held up a sack full of rats, and put Cai Yang, who was struggling desperately and cursing his mother, into the sack Immediately, the screams of the mice in the sack became crazy several times, Cai Yang's screams suddenly turned into screams, and the half of his body exposed outside the sack trembled violently.

Cai Yang was frantically struggling and dancing with the hands stuffed into the sack, and after a while, bright red blood oozed from the sack.The rat, which had been hungry for several days, spared no effort to gnaw on Cai Yang's fingers, cheeks, even lips and eyes.Cai Yang's mournful cry came out through the sack, it sounded like he was heartbroken.

He curled up and trembled from the pain, and yelled hysterically: "Pei Jun! You dog that kills a thousand knives—" Just as he was cursing, a mouse got into his mouth, bit his tongue and tore it, In an instant, the cry became more tragic and chilling, and after a while, the inarticulateness was so slurred that all that was left was howling.

Seeing Cai Yang reap the consequences of himself, and hearing Cai Yang screaming ghostly, Pei Jun felt the dirty and smelly scenes he felt in the prison in his previous life came to his mind one by one——

His mouth was full of sores and his hands and feet were ruined after he was poisoned and dumb in his previous life. Pei Yan's wrongful imprisonment, ten fingers disabled, and his father's loyalty was trapped and died in battle. All of them are gifts from the Cai family. I hate this hatred, and today I finally get revenge!

Mei Linyu heard the voice in the sack gradually diminishing, and reminded Pei Jun, "Brother, it's almost there."

Pei Jun raised his hand to signal to the jailer, and the four guards restrained the sack that was about to be bitten by rats, and released Cai Yang, whose face was bloody and unrecognizable.

Cai Yang slumped on the ground, like a leftover corncob, his face and neck were separated, pitted, and blood flowed profusely from each hole.One of his eyes has been gnawed by a mouse, and it is covered with blood stains, and the other eye can barely move under the damaged eyelid. At this moment, he glared at Pei Jun through the bright red blood, and let out an indistinguishable moan of grief and anger from his mouth. humming.

Pei Jun walked into the cell through the cell door opened by the jailer, took out a small porcelain bottle from his sleeve with one hand and pushed the stopper off, took out a silk from his waist with the other hand to wrap his fingers, stepped forward and pinched Cai Yang's trembling chin, Raising his hand, he poured all the brown-black potion in the porcelain bottle into Cai Yang's mouth.

Cai Yang, who had exhausted all his strength to struggle and scream just now, was now unable to break free, and could only open his only remaining eye violently under the restraint of the guards on both sides, twisted a few times with all his strength, howled and terrified. Looking at Pei Jun who looked downcastly and contemptuously at him, Pei Jun threw his chin away in disgust, and threw the dirty handkerchief on the ground: "Cai Yang, Cai Yang, you can finally shut up forever... ..."

These words made Cai Yang immediately understand what the medicine was, and couldn't help but twitched and trembled even more frightenedly, trying to vomit, as if he wanted to spit out the medicine, but the jailer clamped his jaw tightly with each hand, unable to move.

Pei Jun took one last look at Cai Yang, walked out of the cell, motioned for Mei Linyu to follow, and walked out of the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice amidst Cai Yang's hoarse humming.

The moon is hollow, and the night is as black as ink.When the two walked to the carriage, Mei Linyu lifted the curtain and let Pei Jun sit in first, and then ordered the coachman to go to Zhongyihou's Mansion, and then followed Pei Jun into the carriage and sighed: "The second son of the Cai family, this bastard, has killed brother He Yan. My sister has done so many times, today I finally have his good fruit to eat, I am very happy! His father is afraid that his heart will be broken after his accident, so just think about it!"

Pei Jun replied: "Cai Yang's life or death is not important, the relief is temporary, and the solution is the key. His father Cai Yan has been cautious and comprehensive all his life, but the three sons under his knees are not at ease. Right now He has just lost his eldest son, Cai Yan, and seeing that he is no longer calm in the court, if he loses another son in my hands at this time, he will not be far from losing control. When a person is in an official, once he gets angry, he will inevitably lose control. Mistake. The whole family of the Cai family is supported by Cai Yan, and once Cai Yan falls, it is not as easy to suppress the Cai family as cutting vegetables?"

Mei Linyu answered hurriedly.

Pei Jun leaned back on the chair with a long sigh of relief, looked at the bright moon outside the car window, and said in a low voice: "From today onwards, the Cai family owes me a lot of bad debts, and I want to return all of them..."

The carriage rattled to the residence of the Marquis of Zhongyi. Pei Jun bid farewell to Mei Linyu and got off the carriage at the back door of the residence. He had just returned to the east courtyard to take off his blood-smelling coat when he suddenly heard a report from a servant saying that the Prince Jin's residence Someone came to convey something important.

Pei Jun changed his coat and hurried to the outer courtyard, only to see a young student under Mr. Zhao walking in quickly, cupped his fists respectfully and said to him: "Mr. Pei is safe. The reason why the students came here is because the prince suddenly heard the news that he is a member of the prince's family." He was suddenly arrested in Zhuangzi in the suburbs of Beijing, and now they are being escorted back to Beijing to await trial."

"What? King Cheng was arrested?" Pei Jun raised his eyebrows, "What's the reason?"

The student said: "According to the master's inquiry, it is said that King Cheng sold officials and accepted bribes, and was found out by the palace. Now the master and the prince of Jin are discussing this matter, and they all think that if the palace wants to arrest the emperor who committed crimes Dear, isn’t everyone in danger? Prince Jin feels that the move in the palace is not only aimed at King Cheng, but he is afraid that it is just a first move, and there is still power to follow.”

Pei Jun nodded in response and said: "Okay, go back and report to your master and prince, saying that I understand. Since the palace has already started to move, the emperor should be planning to go to court tomorrow, and we will see what happens tomorrow. Let's see what kind of tricks the palace wants to play."

The student heard the words and was about to leave, but Pei Jun stopped him again: "Wait a minute."

The student turned his head and heard him say: "Go back and tell Prince Jin that he should not bother tonight, and let's have a good rest. After all, from now on...I'm afraid there will be some days we have to endure, and Tell him not to worry too much."

"Yes." The student was shocked when he heard the words, and hurried out of the house after receiving these words.

Pei Jun thought about it for a moment, shook his head and sighed softly, ordered someone to prepare water to wash up, and took a rest early. The next morning, he got up as soon as the bell rang, put on his patch coat and took a sedan chair to enter the palace.
