Invincible son

Chapter 1288 1289 【Previous dust】

On the long street, three headless corpses were horrifyingly shaped, with blood winding along the cracks between the bluestone floors.

There was an indescribable complex emotion in Chen An's heart, including the joy that the truth had not been revealed, the sadness that the rabbit died and the fox hurt others, and the anger that these people felt was worthless.Since the establishment of the Luan Yiwei in the Zhongzong Dynasty, they have served incognito and served for the Tianjia, even more shady than the crows in the Taishitai Pavilion.

When he was born, he was unknown, but after death, the whole body is rare.

What makes Chen An even more painful is that the deaths of these comrades are meaningless—they are just pawns in the hands of the big men above the clouds, and no one cares about their lives or their deaths, or their death is the only value.

He sighed secretly, and ordered his subordinates to collect the three corpses, and then find a remote place outside the city to bury them.

As for the assassin who was still alive, Chen An naturally didn't dare to be careless because of the warning that Pei Yue left before he left.He first asked the doctor to help him treat his injuries, and then locked him in the most closely guarded cell of Luan Yiwei. At the same time, he sent his capable cronies to take care of him in shifts, and he could not be negligent in the slightest.

After handling it properly, Chen An walked into the inner hall of Luan Yiwei, and saw Fan Yu looking at him with a gloomy expression, and said coldly: "This His Royal Highness King Jin is really hard to deal with."

Chen An sat on the side tiredly, and said slowly: "Brother Fan thought he would point the finger at the palace?"

Fan Yu had looked down upon this young commander before, thinking that he was only able to take over such an important position by relying on the late emperor's favor. However, his planning this time was in vain, so naturally he couldn't continue to play tricks.

He coughed twice, and said calmly: "I just went to see the people who are still alive. They didn't reveal any information last night. King Jin has no evidence. Although this time he stopped at the last moment, blindly playing the grievance of a loyal minister and filial son, but we also didn't have much loss. The chess game has just begun, and the two sides have just entered the game."

Hearing his indifferent tone, Chen An couldn't help but think of the three corpses outside the gate. A sense of sadness welled up in his heart, and he said sadly, "Brother Fan said it lightly. Dare I ask how Luan Yiwei will respond to King Jin's inquiry ten days later?"

Fan Yu frowned slightly and said, "What's so difficult about it? Could it be that King Jin really dares to flatten this yamen?"

Chen An asked back: "Why not?"

Fan Yu was choked up, and the dark cloud overwhelming the city on the long street appeared in his mind just now, subconsciously told him that Pei Yue definitely did not lack the courage to do so, but he still said forcefully: "Attacking Luan Yiwei is equivalent to conspiracy to rebel!"

Chen An said bitterly: "Brother Fan, King Jin is here to help his biological father. As long as this matter is not involved in the nobles in the palace, even if he is provoked to attack Luan Yiwei for a while, will the court accuse him of rebellion?"

Fan Yu's expression changed slightly when he heard the words, then he stared into his eyes and said, "Commander Chen, what exactly do you want to say?"

Chen An sighed: "Brother Fan, don't be suspicious. I will definitely not seek refuge with the King of Jin, but he gave a ten-day deadline. How will Luan Yiwei respond? I hope Brother Fan will not hesitate to give advice."

Fan Yu thought for a moment, then slowly said: "What if that person only wants to die?"

Chen An shook his head and said, "Brother Fan hasn't realized that King Jin doesn't care if Luan Yiwei can find out the truth, he just wants an excuse to attack. No matter whether this person commits suicide or not, once he dies in Luan Yiwei's prison, King Jin will definitely take advantage of the situation and attack."

Fan Yu's face turned ugly, and he said in a deep voice: "Before the emperor's grand visit, he transferred part of the power of Taishitai Pavilion to Luan Yiwei, but there are many details that have not been clarified. In my opinion, you can serve that person well, and then send him to Taishitai Pavilion. Since King Jin suspects that this matter is related to Luan Yiwei, you should just ask Taige to investigate!"

Chen An was startled and said, "Let Taishitai Pavilion come to investigate?"

Fan Yu nodded and said, "Of course, Luan Yiwei also needs to investigate himself. Since King Jin has publicly expressed his doubts about Luan Yiwei, let the Taige intervene, and even let the Kyoto government and the Ministry of Punishment get involved. After ten days, no one can find any clues. What can Jin Wang do? Can he still attack so many yamen? If he is really so unscrupulous, the government and the public will not tolerate him sooner or later!"

Chen An thought about it carefully, and his expression became slightly relaxed, which seemed to agree with the other party's point of view.

Seeing this, Fan Yu got up and said, "Brother Chen, please worry about this matter, I will go to the palace and report to the Queen Mother now."

Chen An sent him to the back street, watched his figure disappear, and couldn't help sighing softly.

……

Dingguo Mansion, inside Ding'an Hall.

Pei Yue and Pei Taijun sat at the two ends of the long couch, while the family members of the Pei Mansion sat on the lower row of chairs, namely Pei Rong's concubine Aunt Mo, Pei Ning and Pei Jue.

He took a sip of the fragrant tea, and then said in a leisurely manner: "I gave Chen An, the commander of Luan Yiwei, ten days, and the three lives were just a warning. If Luan Yiwei doesn't give the Pei family an explanation, I will take more drastic measures in the future."

Pei Taijun bowed his head and said: "Your Highness, Pei Rong didn't know how to examine himself, and today's catastrophe happened, and this matter cannot be blamed on others."

Pei Yue raised his brows, the old lady seemed to be complaining about meddling in her own business?
However, Pei Taijun stood up tremblingly, and the three female relatives below quickly stood up.

Pei Yue was puzzled, looked at the old man with tired eyes, and only heard her say: "His Royal Highness has suffered because of the old body's partiality to Pei Rong and Li Shi. He knew that His Highness was in a difficult situation, but he just pretended not to have seen it. Over the years, the old body recalled the past, although he felt regretful, but the things that happened cannot be changed."

Taijun Pei paused, and said slowly: "Several words can't make up for the crimes committed by the Pei family back then, and now the Pei family can't produce anything His Highness would like. Today, the old man apologizes to His Highness for himself and the Pei family, and His Highness please accept this gift."

As he spoke, he knelt down with some difficulty.

Seeing this, Pei Ning said in shock: "Old lady!"

A strong hand rested on Pei Taijun's wrist, and then helped her up.

The old man raised his head, only to see Pei Yue shaking his head and said: "Mrs. Tai, you don't have to."

He once slapped Pei Yun in this Ding'an Hall, and he also angrily reprimanded Pei Rong and Li Shi, and even stuck a long knife in the ground. No one in the Pei family dared to face him.But he knew in his heart that, except for Pei Ning, even though the Pei family was timid and cowardly on the surface, they never feared him as a nominal bastard in their hearts, let alone realize the crimes they committed back then.

until today.

Pei Taijun's sudden confession and apology did not move Pei Yue, but he still sighed softly.

The memory is still clear, as if he wakes up from the coma and sorts out his predicament, and then goes to Mingyue Pavilion desperately to seek a chance of survival is still in front of his eyes.

Looking back, it turns out that so many years have passed.

Asking Pei Taijun and the others to sit down again, Pei Yue said indifferently: "Mrs. Tai, I'm not a very magnanimous person, but I have vented my anger back then, so I won't keep it in my heart."

Pei Taijun said in shame: "Your Highness is magnanimous, and I am ashamed of my old age."

Pei Yue said gently: "The past is over, there is no need to mention it."

He turned his head to look at Pei Ning's long Qiushui eyes, and said with a smile: "Furthermore, with my eldest sister's face, I will keep the lintel of the Pei family no matter what."

Pei Ning smiled, his eyes full of warmth.

Pei Jue, who was sitting beside her, blinked and said, "Your Highness is so kind to Eldest Sister."

Aunt Mo had been sitting cautiously, she turned her head and said softly when she heard the words, "You must not lose your dignity in front of your Highness."

Pei Yue looked up at the already slim Pei Jue, and said: "I still remember that before I went to Lvliuzhuang, you gave me a piece of jade paperweight. I used it all the time when I was studying in Zhuangzi, and it is still in my study. Although this gift was insignificant to you at that time, I always remembered it in my heart."

Pei Jue had actually forgotten about that incident long ago, but now hearing this strange third brother's narration, she couldn't help lowering her head and said shyly, "Your Highness, that's not worth anything."

Pei Yue smiled, and said to Aunt Mo: "In the future, if the Mo family has any difficulties, as long as you take care of it, you can send someone to come to Prince Jin's mansion to find me."

Aunt Mo was stunned, but she immediately beamed with joy, pulling Pei Jue to kneel down to thank her.

Pei Yue raised his hand to stop it, and then said to Pei Ning, "Do you want to go to my place today?"

Pei Ning said softly: "Father needs someone to take care of him, I will go another day."

"Alright."

Pei Yue smiled slightly, then nodded to Taijun Pei, turned around and walked away.

Pei Ning got up to see them off, and the two walked side by side, chatting softly all the way, and the atmosphere was extremely harmonious.

When he was about to leave the Yimen Gate, Pei Yue stopped suddenly, and calmly looked at Pei Yun who was standing not far away with a pale complexion.
