Pei Gonggui

This question was simple and profound, and it seemed suspicious and sighed, but it didn't really intend to seduce people, but Jiang Yue was a little dazed when he heard it.

He looked at Pei Jun for a moment, didn't care to answer this question, but asked another question: "The day after tomorrow is the morning court, I expect you will resign at that time. After resigning, what are your plans?"

Pei Jun said: "I don't know if I can keep this house after I resign. If I can't, I will have no place to live. I'm afraid I have to move first. Maybe I will end up living on the streets."

Jiang Yue was asking him about his plans seriously, but he joked about it. He couldn't help being slightly annoyed for a moment, but he couldn't bear to interrupt, so he just walked along and asked, "Then do you have a good place to go?"

Pei Jun shook his body and walked beside him, nodding his head.

Jiang Yue asked, "Where do you live?"

Pei Jun pretended to be deep in thought: "Where do all the counselors in your family... live?"

Jiang Yue paused, then turned to look at him: "You want to come to my house as a counselor?"

Pei Jun said: "I just asked where they live." He turned his head to look at Jiang Yue and said, "I really want to live there too."

The counselors in Jiang Yue's mansion naturally lived in Jiang Yue's mansion.Jiang Yue reacted for a while, only to realize that Pei Jun's words were turning a corner and saying that he wanted to live with him. His cheeks became hot for a while, so he took two quick steps with his hands behind his back: "No."

Pei Jun pulled him back with a long leg, and suppressed a smile: "Hey, make it clear, are you not allowing me to be your counselor, or are you not allowing me to live in your house?"

Jiang Yue said in an orderly manner: "Your official is a second-rank Shaofu, how could you never buy a house? Why do you want to compete with my family's counselors for a place? This is too inappropriate. I heard that the Mei family is in Jingzhao, half of them The land was set up for you, and Zhuangzi alone has three places, how can you have no house to live in?"

"Nonsense, how can there be so many. That's their nonsense for tax avoidance, do you believe it?" Pei Jun counted in front of him, "I only account for one-third, and I can't count on you There is a piece of land in the south of the Lingnan."

Jiang Yue's eyebrows twitched: "You actually know that I have land in Lingnan?"

"In the past, I tried my best to fight with you, so I had to ask more questions." Pei Jun's hand holding his arm slid to the edge of his palm, squeezed his little finger through the cuff, and shook hands with him again. "It will save trouble in the future. I want to know in the future, and I just need you to tell me."

Gentle warmth spread from Pei Jun's palm to Jiang Yue's, and after saying these words, it was like waves swaying in Jiang Yue's voice.

Right now, he doesn't want to be seen holding hands with Pei Jun, but at this moment, he doesn't want to pull his hand away either. He hesitated for a moment, and in the end one didn't want to defeat the other, nodded with lowered eyebrows, and looked at Pei Jun Holding his hand, she hummed heavily.

The two let go of each other and walked to the front hall.The servant said that the carriage of King Jin's Mansion was waiting outside, Jiang Yue suddenly remembered before leaving: "By the way, what is the second condition for you to ask Zhang San to investigate the case?"

Pei Jun replied: "The second condition is that Zhang San must solve the case within one month after the palace examination. I can't afford to wait for a long time."

Jiang Yue looked at him for a while, and slightly curled the corners of his lips, as if he felt amused: "Pei Jun, you are too strict with the younger generation."

Pei Jun said solemnly: "Strictly now, it's for them to be lenient in the future. I'd rather they suffer more losses in our hands and suffer a lesson than see them being slapped in the face and tripped up by outsiders. He is your student. You should understand the truth better than me. Besides, it is not difficult to investigate the case along the way. Once it is investigated and let the court know, it may cause problems if it is dragged on for a long time. Besides, now that Pei Yan is no longer in the Ministry of Criminal Justice, I dare not let her be in prison Staying here for too long. After all, the evidence of Li Cunzhi came back, once the Tang family is imprisoned, Cai Yanding will use Pei Yan to suppress me again, there is no guarantee that something will happen—"

"Don't worry." Jiang Yue subconsciously wanted to hold his wrist, and it could be seen that there were servants all around, and outsiders from various houses were still standing in the vestibule. At this time, he put his hand down again, and only comforted him: "Pei Jun, don't Come on, let's go step by step."

Pei Jun nodded, sent Jiang Yue outside the gate of the house and got into the car, patted the wall of the car to let the coachman go, watched Jiang Yue's car and horse disappear at the corner of the street, and then turned back to the backyard with a sigh.

He went back to the flower hall, had a drink with a table of colleagues and friends to discuss official affairs, saw the willows on the moon, roughly finished talking, got up again and sent the people from the sixth department away.

Before leaving, Jiang Shilang held Pei Jun as he was drunk, and at this time he did not forget to ask his second son about his entrance exam: "Master Pei, there is a fraud in this new exam... Will my second son retake the exam?" ah?"

Pei Jun said bluntly: "Mr. Jiang is relieved, the imperial court has no money to retake the exam."

After Jiang Shilang figured it out, he breathed a sigh of relief, and asked Pei Jun again: "Then he will try the name, has Mr. Pei ever... taken care of him a little?"

Jiang Shilang is an official of the third rank, and according to the law, he can make up for a son to the position of the fifth rank in the local area.He had already used this kindness to find a magistrate for his elder son to do it, and the second son's fame would no longer be able to benefit him, so he had to take the hard test—it can be said to be a hard test, but in the end it was money for Pei Jun's help. Therefore, seeing this "hardness", it is not so "hard".

There are still many important things to do right now, and Jiang Shilang really shouldn't have asked this question, but Pei Jun was not annoyed when he heard him ask it, and just told him truthfully: Although Jiang Er's paper has already passed the exam, it is to the point It's too vague, and probably all the students who listened to it on weekdays have gone to Babian Mountain, so it's better not to go to the palace examination to make people ashamed and show their eyes, so as not to ruin their reputation.

Hearing this, Jiang Shilang was inherently disappointed, but after searching for a while, he was satisfied, expressed his loyalty to Pei Jun, and left with fists in his arms.

After Jiang Shilang and the Ministry of War left, Yan Yuliang helped Fang Mingjue, who was dizzy, in annoyance, and muttered impatiently: "Do we really want Mr. Jiang to take Mr. Shen's place?"

Pei Jun said normally: "Even though Mr. Jiang is generous, he is prudent. Right now we are the most jealous of newcomers. We should not even think about changing the land that can be used by old people."

Together with Yan Yuliang, he helped Fang Mingjue out, and the shadow of the moon cast mottled and entangled shadows under the feet of the three of them.After crossing the carved wooden threshold of the courtyard gate, he held Fang Mingjue's arm, turned his head abruptly, and asked Yan Yuliang on the other side: "Senior brother, after so many years, I have always wanted to ask, how can you trust me? "

Yan Yuliang snorted and pushed Fang Mingjue into the driveway: "Probably because my son calls you godfather."

Fang Mingjue, who fell into the car, yelled and murmured that he would go to Shen's residence to have a look.Yan Yuliang covered his mouth and stuffed him into the curtain, cursed a few words, brushed off his sleeves and sighed viciously, before continuing to say to Pei Jun:

"Eight years ago, when my daughter-in-law had a difficult delivery...do you remember? At that time, we were still in Hanlin, and I went to the government to make connections. I had already used up my own money, and even posted my father as a raiser's savings account. To tell you the truth, I watched my daughter-in-law faint from the pain on the bed, and I couldn't straighten my arms to ask for a good doctor, so I had to send someone to your house to borrow money in the middle of the night. How could you borrow money? The people who went out had not been out for half an hour, and they led you back. You also brought four imperial physicians together, pointed at the house and asked them to deliver my daughter-in-law quickly, and this is considered to have saved the lives of my wife and children. Later, I heard from Xiao Ming Jue'er that you took the silver medal from the palace to your mother and went to the imperial hospital to call. The silver medal was given to your mother by the palace when they saw that your mother was not good. , if I blame you for using it on my daughter-in-law indiscriminately, I really dare not think..."

"Isn't it okay after that?" Pei Jun interrupted him, "It's customary in the palace to ignore things after rewarding them. How can you blame me? Brother, don't mention these small things, they are all due."

"It's never what should be done." Yan Yuliang looked back at him helplessly, and sighed, "Now my son is eight years old, he can run and dance, and my wife has given me a daughter, who looks juicy... Really Come to think of it, these three lives should be due to your willingness to help back then. So later...the government and the opposition always spread your advice to harm people and make money. I never believed it. I know they are all nonsense. Ziyu, You saved my family."

Yan Yuliang didn't have a single word "en" or "thank you" in these two words, but when he spoke slowly, the meaning of thanking him for his kindness could fill mountains and seas.

Pei Jun never thought that what Yan Yuliang remembered for many years was actually such a small thing that he did when he was young. He never dug out these words from Yan Yuliang in his previous life. If Yan Yuliang didn't mention it, he probably wouldn't Thinking of it specially, let alone being thanked by Yan Yuliang.

He watched Yan Yuliang get into the car and set off, and watched the chariots and horses running towards the south, his eyes flickered for a few times, as if he had seen the fire in the prison door in the previous life reflecting blood——Yan Yuliang and Fang Mingjue were hanging side by side opposite him, on his body Not a single piece of flesh is good, her face is bruised and her eyes are red.

At that time, the interrogator asked in a dark voice on the dark platform, "Where is Ku Yin?"

No one spoke.There were three whips in the room.

The judge became impatient: "Don't tell me yet? Then put on the soldering iron——"

"I said... I said!"

It was Yan Yuliang who suddenly struggled and made a hoarse sound.

He stared at Pei Jun who was facing him, with uncontrollable but unstoppable tears hanging on his swollen face, he choked up a few times, and then said in a weak voice: "Don't...don't use torture, don't beat...I, I said , let me say..."

After closing his eyes with hatred for a moment, he half-closed his eyelids, trembling his lips and said: "After Ku Yin left Beijing... he went south, and they were all mixed in the pile of grain and grass. It was obvious that he was going to the front line, but in fact... ...But Pei Ziyu has calculated the ferry for the ship, and wants to steal the day and share it with us. This money, together, should be eight shares—"

Whoa!

Pei Jun, who was opposite him, suddenly moved the iron chain, and struggled desperately to stare at him, but he couldn't speak because he wanted to speak, but Yan Yuliang couldn't stop Yan Yuliang from continuing:

"The silver is divided into eight parts, how much money can be left... Besides, there are not many coins in this treasury." Yan Yuliang trembled from the pain of the whip, but sneered with ease on his face, "Pei Ziyu... He has pretended to be generous for many years, and tricked everyone into finding work for him, but if this is done, although he will get less money, he will still get ten thousand tons of food and grass in the end. After all, he has more money than us—but this matter I’m the one who contributes to the work! It’s Yan Yuliang from my bureaucracy. I’m the one who paves the way, and Pei Ziyu’s motherfucker is going to get the most of it with just a few words, why should he?”

Wow!Wow——

Pei Jun struggled hard on the iron chain only to get another two lashes. He gritted his teeth hoarsely, stared at Yan Yuliang's eyes with hate and tears, and groaned twice in pain. With a detached smile, he spat blood and said, "Pei Jun, you'll think you're smart all your life? Huh? If you hadn't been folded on the dragon bed, those millions of taels of silver would be mine! It's mine—"

"Brother hey!"

A soft cry interrupted Pei Jun's thoughts, he turned his head abruptly, only to see that Mei Linyu had come out accompanied by Cao Luan.
