Invincible son

The morning sun soaks the earth, and the morning breeze awakens the world.

Zhuquefang is located in the middle of the East City, and you can enter the very spacious and flat North-South Main Street through six side streets to the east.

More than a hundred cavalry rode their horses and walked slowly, but directly in front of them was an ox cart, on which were four Luanyi death guards who were tied up and had their jaws removed.

When the team passed through Fengyifang and was about to enter the North-South Main Street, a minister dressed in purple led more than ten officials to block the road.

Pei Yue urged his horse to come forward, staring at these uninvited guests indifferently.

The man bowed and saluted, "Your Majesty, Shangshu Gaoqiu of the Ministry of Punishment, see His Royal Highness King Jin."

Among the six departments of the court, the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment and the Minister of the Ministry of Officials have not experienced changes for several years. These two can be regarded as tumblers who have experienced many storms.Gao Qiu has a personal relationship with Gu Liang, and he also helped Pei Yue back then, so facing these solemn and powerful cavalry, he can still maintain the calm demeanor of a minister.

"What advice does Gao Shangshu have?"

Pei Yue didn't get off his horse, and his tone wasn't friendly, but it wasn't too cold.

Gao Qiu said respectfully: "I heard that there were assassins breaking into the Dingguo Mansion last night. Your Highness personally led the guards to capture these assassins. As the Secretary of the Ministry of Punishments, I am extremely ashamed of this matter. After asking His Majesty for instructions, I came here with the audacity to ask Your Highness to hand over these assassins to the Ministry of Punishment. I hereby promise to His Highness that I will definitely investigate this case and bring justice to the State Palace."

Pei Yue said slowly: "Gao Shangshu, I will always keep in mind your help back then."

Gao Qiu had mixed feelings in his heart, he really never thought that the bastard who used to be calm and composed in the lobby of the Ministry of Punishment could reach the status he is today, so he said earnestly: "Your Highness is serious, that is the duty of an official."

He glanced at the assassin on the bullock cart not far away, and said after deliberation: "The Dingguo Mansion was attacked, it's because the Ministry of Criminal Justice did not do its job well, and I hope His Highness can give this officer a chance to make up for his mistakes."

Although it is said that the six ministers cannot compare with the prince in terms of rank, after all, Gao Qiu is a very senior official in the court, so it is rare to have such a humble attitude.

Pei Yue said unhurriedly: "Theoretically, these assassins will definitely be handed over to the imperial court."

Gao Qiu's heart became more and more heavy when he heard the words.

Sure enough, Pei Yue said again: "But this king will not hand them over to the Ministry of Punishment."

Gao Qiu sighed lightly: "Your Highness—"

Pei Yue raised his hand to interrupt him, and said in a deep voice: "Gao Shangshu, this king is not arrogant when he is successful, nor is he prejudiced against you and the Ministry of Criminal Justice, but the Ministry of Criminal Justice cannot handle this case. If you insist on taking over this case, if you fail to give me a satisfactory answer by then, the consequences will definitely be more serious than you imagined."

Gao Qiu fell into hesitation.

This freshly baked prince spoke very straightforwardly, so he didn't feel resentment in his heart, but was very grateful for the other party's frankness.It is said that Luo Ting, the governor of the left, rushed to Dingguo Mansion last night without any results, and Pei Yue's attitude at this moment is enough to show that he is thinking about the past friendship.

However, this matter is not a matter of whether Gao Qiu wants to do it or not, but that he has received the order of the emperor, and tried his best to make big things into small things, so as not to cause trouble to everyone.

So Gao Qiu could only salute again and said: "I can't guarantee that His Highness will be satisfied, but I will try my best to handle the case, and I hope His Highness will allow it."

Pei Yue said: "Gao Shangshu, do you know what happened last night?"

Gao Qiu was a little dazed. Although the assassin broke into the Dingguo Mansion, he probably didn't hurt the eldest lady of the Pei family. Otherwise, why would you still be in the mood to talk to me?I'm afraid there will be a huge upside down long ago.

Pei Yue looked up at the buildings and pavilions in the distance, and said calmly: "The assassins injured the second son of the Pei family until he fell into a coma, and he hasn't woken up yet. I don't know if he will wake up. They also forcibly poured a large amount of distilled spirits into Master Pei's stomach. According to the diagnosis of several skilled doctors, his life can indeed be saved, but he will definitely become a fool in the future."

Gao Qiu frowned, and immediately realized the difficulty of this matter.

Pei Yue continued: "Gao Shangshu is not an outsider, and this king does not have the slightest affection for Pei Rong and Pei Yun. All the experiences in the past are also thanks to them, so he broke the door. However, the past grievances have long been settled, and this king got what he wanted a long time ago. In any case, since this king was born in the Dingguo Mansion, Pei Rong is my biological father. Now that he has encountered such a tragedy, can this king let it go?"

Gao Qiu said with difficulty: "This..."

Pei Yue's eyes were cold, and he said quietly: "The country governs the world with loyalty and filial piety. If this king ignores filial piety at this time, wouldn't it be fulfilling the wishes of many people, and they will be able to publicize my mistakes all over the world?"

This sentence shocked Gao Qiu.

He suddenly understood that this case might really have something to do with the palace, and at the same time he couldn't help but sigh for Pei Yue's keen mind.

At this point, Gao Qiu knew that he had no possibility to stop Pei Yue, on the contrary, Pei Yue gave him enough face, so he could only let him to the side of the road.

Seeing this, Pei Yue nodded slightly, and then led more than a hundred cavalry to continue forward, passing through the north and south main streets and then turning to the west straight road.

There were more and more onlookers along the road, and many well-informed men among the crowd explained the whole story, so Pei Yue and his party did not cause too much commotion, but many people sincerely saluted Pei Yue.

In front of Guangdefang, a group of hundreds of soldiers stopped at the entrance.

The leading general is strong in stature and imposing.

Looking at the resolute face with sharp edges and corners, Pei Yue suddenly sighed: "You shouldn't be here."

Pei Cheng was silent for a moment, then slowly said: "Whether it is the capital city or the Ministry of punishment, they are all responsible for maintaining law and order in the capital, but the capital's garrison cannot stay out of it either."

In fact, if you look closely, the defense division commanded by Pei Cheng is qualified to intervene in the affairs of the capital, and it is not limited to the defense of the nine gates.

Of course Pei Yue understood this truth. At this moment, there was a look of disappointment in his eyes, and he said in a deep voice: "This king is not referring to the defender, but you should not appear."

Pei Cheng didn't ask the reason stupidly, Pei Yue clearly wanted to stand up for the Pei family today, which should have been his unshirkable responsibility as a nationalist, but in the end he stopped in front of Pei Yue.

He lowered his eyebrows slightly, and finally said firmly: "You don't want to hand over these assassins to the Ministry of Punishment, and you don't want to go to Miyagi to knock the palace, then you can send them to Taishitai Pavilion. Even if you don't trust the capital and the Ministry of Punishment, and don't trust the garrison, then you can always trust Taishitai Pavilion, after all, it is Shen—"

"enough."

Pei Yue's eyes were as sharp as a knife, and he said resolutely: "The person who takes you, get out of the way."

Pei Cheng held the spear in his hand and looked at each other proudly.

This scene made those eyes and ears in the distance feel complicated. On the one hand, they lamented that His Majesty knew people well, and that Pei Cheng obviously had the courage to stand in front of King Jin, and the so-called brotherhood between the two did not exist at all.On the other hand, they are naturally very worried. The situation is so tense, what if something big happens?
Pei Yue looked around, and finally his eyes fell on Pei Cheng. Looking at the gentle look in his eyes, he said coldly: "You can't stop me today. Although you should have set up an ambush not far away, you should not forget that I have seen too many conspiracies on the battlefield these years."

Before he finished speaking, Feng Yi beside him reached into his arms, and then took out a fireworks token, but he didn't open it immediately.

Pei Cheng watched intently, of course he understood the meaning of this move, and also knew that the Beiwei battalion that broke Nan Zhou's back was in the capital.

After a while, he stepped aside, and the soldiers of the garrison immediately moved out of the way.

Pei Yue rode his horse past him, and the two were strangers.

In Guangde Square, there is a small-scale government office. On the plaque at the main entrance are the three characters "Luanyiwei" written by Liu Xianyu himself.

Commander Chen An stood in the middle of the long street in front of the gate, and behind him were more than a hundred masters belonging to Luan Yiwei. Looking at the elite cavalry approaching in the distance, everyone seemed to be facing an enemy, and there was unavoidable anxiety in their eyes.

As the sound of horseshoes got closer, everyone in Luan Yiwei couldn't help but clenched their weapons tightly.

Chen An felt uneasy, he didn't understand why the Son of Heaven didn't give an order for so long, and let Pei Yue take the ox cart through the streets and alleys.He still didn't understand why Pei Yue went to Luan Yiwei. Could it be that he had already discovered the identities of those assassins?
In a few breaths, Pei Yue came to a place two feet in front of Chen An, and glanced at the gate of Luan Yiwei on the left.

Chen Andang bowed first and said: "See Your Highness King Jin, what instruction does His Highness have for coming here in person?"

Pei Yue raised his left arm, and Chen An and Luan Yiwei's masters immediately became nervous. However, the cavalry did not make any unnecessary movements, but several people lifted the four assassins from the bullock cart, and then forced them to kneel in the middle of the two sides.

Chen An was puzzled and said, "What does your Highness mean?"

Pei Yue narrowed his eyes slightly, full of murderous intent: "Does Commander Chen recognize them?"

Chen An's heart tightened, and he managed to maintain his composure. He looked at the faces of the four assassins, shook his head and said, "I heard that the Dingguo Mansion was attacked last night. I think these people are the assassins from last night, but I have never seen them before."

"Ah."

Pei Yue smiled coldly. In fact, when the four of them were dragged down, he noticed that the complexions of some people on the opposite side changed drastically.

After all, the so-called dead men did not appear out of thin air. They were basically masters selected by Mo Haoli from the Luan Yiwei back then. Although a long time passed, someone recognized them after all.

Pei Yue knew very well that although Chen An was the only one standing in front of him, there must be countless eyes and ears in Guangde Square, perhaps from the palace, or from various mansions in the capital, everyone was watching his every move, and his ears would not miss every word he said.

So he raised his tone, and his angry voice spread all around: "This king will ask you again, do you really not recognize these assassins?"

Chen An was sweating coldly on his back, at this moment he could only force himself to say: "Return to Your Highness, I really don't know these assassins and Luan Yiwei."

"very good."

Pei Yue nodded indifferently, then looked at Feng Yi beside him.

Under the gaze of countless pairs of eyes, bright or dark, the three palace guards stepped forward, all holding a big knife.

When they got behind those assassins, Feng Yi said sharply: "Hou!"

The big knife was raised, and the cold light was cold.

Chen An panicked, "Your Highness—"

Feng Yi issued an order without hesitation: "Kill!"

The three big knives slashed down suddenly with the faint sound of wind and thunder, and the blood shot up into the sky!

Everyone in Luan Yiwei was dumbfounded, Chen An was shocked, and trembled all over at this moment.

Three human skulls rolled towards him.

There was a sudden commotion in Luan Yiwei, some people showed fear, but some had anger in their eyes.

Chen An noticed that the cavalry on the opposite side had already clenched their long sabers, and couldn't help but shouted back in shock: "Shut up!"

Pei Yue looked at these people indifferently, and said slowly: "I hope that some people can remember these three heads today. If there are people who plot against people around me in the future, no matter whether it is Jinwang Mansion, Guangping Marquis Mansion or Dingguo Mansion, then the three heads will not be able to pay back."

Chen An said with great difficulty: "Your Highness, this matter really has nothing to do with Luan Yiwei."

Pei Yue glanced at him lightly, and said: "So this king will leave you alive, and you can let him die in Luan Yiwei's prison, so that there will be no evidence for his death, and their origins will never be found out again."

Chen An hurriedly said: "How dare you do that!"

Pei Yue said: "Very well, I will give you ten days. If there is no complete and clear answer by then, I will come to you again to seek justice for the Pei family of Dingguo Mansion."

Chen An was already profusely sweating, bowed his head and said, "I would like to follow His Highness's order."

Pei Yue turned his horse's head, and cast his cold gaze to the northeast.

There is the palace of Daliang.

He walked very slowly along the way, giving those people enough time to react, but apart from Gao Qiu and Pei Cheng, there was no real enough person to stop him, obviously hoping that the temporary forbearance could cover up this matter.

Feng Yi leaned closer and whispered: "Your Highness, there is no abnormal movement anywhere in the city."

Pei Yue nodded slightly, and said calmly: "It's just the beginning."
