Invincible son

Chapter 139 138 [Tai Shi Tai Pavilion]

There is a blue-gray building in the southwest of Daliang Palace, which is located at the end of Jinshui Street.

This is the Taishitai Pavilion, where officials below the third rank have turned pale.

Taige was founded in the period of Gaozu, the chief official was called Zuo Lingchen, and the corresponding assistant official was called You Lingdou.These are two official titles that are not found in historical records. It is said that Emperor Gaozu picked them up casually after getting drunk one day, and no one still understands their meanings.The first Zuo Lingchen used to be the commander of Gaozu's personal army. At that time, the main duty of the Taige was to spy on the military situation.

After Emperor Taizong succeeded to the throne, the functions of Taige were further improved, and gradually became a yamen for internal and external two-way supervision.After decades of development and expansion, there are now nine divisions in the Taiwan Cabinet, each of which has its own specific responsibilities. It is difficult for outsiders to peek into the doorway, making the place more mysterious and terrifying.

For the vast majority of people, the prison in Taishitai Pavilion is a purgatory on earth, and it is difficult to get out of it after entering. If it is only a board, the family members can go to burn incense and fulfill their vows.

The end of Jinshui Street has always been quiet and empty, except for the officials of the Taiwan Pavilion and the occasional prisoner, very few people would come outside the gate of this blue-gray building.

At three poles in the sun, a carriage with the emblem of Dingguo Mansion appeared on Jinshui Street, and there were only two long-term attendants besides the coachman.

The carriage stopped in the square in front of the door, the long attendant put down the low stool, and a young man opened the curtain and came out.

After more than half a year, this boy has also grown a lot taller. Although his body still looks thin, his temperament has become more and more delicate and refined.

He glanced over at the long followers beside him, seeing that they couldn't hide their fear of this blue-gray building at all, a faint disgust flashed in his eyes, and he said lightly: "You guys wait here, I will go in by myself. "

Chang Sui breathed a sigh of relief, cupped his hands and said, "Yes, Second Young Master."

The young man was the second son of Pei Rong of Dingguo Mansion, Pei Yun who was only a few months older than Pei Yun.

He walked up the stone steps on the left and walked calmly to the main entrance of the pavilion.

Although the crow guarding the gate had seen the emblem on the carriage long ago, he still blocked Pei Yun's way meticulously, and asked expressionlessly, "Who is here? What's the matter?"

Pei Yun said neither humble nor overbearing: "Pei Yun of Dingguo Mansion wants to enter Taige Prison to visit a suspect. This is Mr. Shen's warrant."

Crow took the warrant, checked it carefully and said to Pei Yun, "Please follow me."

In Taige Nine Departments, the person in charge of managing the prison and interrogating prisoners is called Libu, and the person in charge is named Lin Jia, a middle-aged man in his 40s.

Lin Jia met Pei Yun in the duty room, took a look at Mo Moyun's warrant, and then said with a kind smile: "Mr. Pei, the criminal Li Zijun has a lot to do with him. I can't let him leave the prison. I can only work hard for you." I went on my own."

Pei Yun clasped his hands and said, "Your Excellency's words are very true, how dare this junior disobey."

Lin Jia said approvingly: "Gentle and elegant, with a good temperament, he is worthy of being a disciple of Dingguo. I have a lot of official duties, so I won't leave Mr. Pei to talk. Someone will take you inside to meet the prisoner."

Pei Yun responded, "Thank you, my lord."

On the way to the prison with an official from the Taiwan Pavilion, Pei Yun was slightly puzzled.Like Lin Jia, who is in charge of the prisoner, he thought he would be the kind of ruthless person with a cold temperament that makes people shudder, but he didn't want to be such a gentle and exquisite character.Although he had received many teachings from Mo Moyun and had a lot of contacts with Shen Danmo, the father and daughter had never told him anything about the affairs of the Taiwan cabinet, so he didn't understand that today was actually the first time he came to this mysterious yamen.

The prison is located on the southeast corner of the Taige, and it is heavily guarded, with three steps and one post.

The environment in the prison was not beyond Pei Yun's imagination, it was gloomy and cold, and there were oil lamps on the wall every ten steps, even so, the light was very dim.

Li Zijun was locked in a single cell.

His condition didn't look too bad, and his treatment was better than that of ordinary prisoners. The floor in the cell was covered with thick hay, which could at least prevent moisture from entering his body.

Seeing someone coming, Li Zijun's slightly pale face was filled with excitement, and he rushed to the door almost scrambling. After seeing the appearance of the person, although he was a little disappointed, he still squeezed out a smile and said : "Brother Yun, you are here."

Pei Yun looked him up and down, but he didn't find any obvious scars, so he felt a little pity in his heart, and said with a smile on his face, "Cousin, mother is worried about your safety, so let me come and see you."

He turned around and bowed to the jailer, and said gently: "My lord, my mother has something I want me to pass on to my cousin, can you let me go in and wait for a while?"

The jailer saw that he was so obedient, and he had Mo Moyun's warrant as proof, so he nodded and said, "My lord, don't take too long."

Pei Yun smiled and said, "Understood, I would like to invite you to have a drink."

As he spoke, he took out a 50 tael bank note and stuffed it into the opponent's hand.

However, the jailer didn't answer at all, and only said: "My lord has our lord's warrant. Naturally, there is no problem with this requirement, and there is no need for other things. We have rules."

Pei Yun was in awe, and sighed: "My lord has taught you a lesson, that I have fallen for Meng Lang."

The jailer opened the cell door for him, locked the door after he entered, and then retreated twenty steps, his eyes still fixed on the two of them.

Li Zijun welcomed Pei Yun in, and said embarrassingly: "Brother Yun, you don't need to come to see me. I'm fine here, and I'll be out in a few days."

Pei Yun's face was solemn, and he said in a deep voice, "Cousin, I'm afraid the matter is not that simple."

Li Zijun was stunned: "What do you mean?"

Pei Yun said: "Pei Yue has already returned to Lvliuzhuang, he is fine."

Li Zijun became more and more puzzled, and asked with a frown, "Since he's fine, what's the problem? Could it be that they want to lock me up here for the rest of my life?"

Saying Xu did not believe it, he himself laughed.

Pei Yun didn't smile, and leaned closer and said, "Cousin, you sent a killer to ambush Pei Yue. The Holy One is very upset about this. In addition, Pei Yue has old grievances with you. Do you think he will let this opportunity go?"

Li Zijun was not stupid at all, he shook his head and said, "Of course I didn't think of going out unscathed, but at most I would get a board, can he still force Mr. Shen to kill me?"

Pei Yun analyzed calmly: "Could it be that my cousin still regards Pei Yue as a bastard in the Dingguo Mansion who no one cares about? He is someone in the court now, for example, Hou Guliang of Guangping is his solid reliance, even the Lord Shen you mentioned, He also favors him a lot. You sent people to follow him that day, didn't you know that Mr. Shen specially invited him over to the mansion as a guest?"

Li Zi, who was talking in a few words, fell silent.

Pei Yun said again: "You should know Pei Yue's character. You will never back down. My father is your uncle. Don't you really know why he asked to resign himself? Now that you have the handle in Pei Yue's hands, you still want to treat him as an innocent man. What happened? Cousin, you have always been a very smart person, why can’t you figure out the joints, and you still have the mood to lie here?”

Li Zijun couldn't help but think of that boy Pei Yue who cut his palms and wanted to fight him to death outside Green Willow Manor in July, like a mad dog who refused to give an inch.

Panic began to spread in his heart.

Pei Yun said softly: "Cousin, you don't mean to sit and wait for death, do you?"

Li Zijun shook his head violently and said, "Of course not! But I'm locked up in prison, what can I do?"

Pei Yun looked at him with concern, and said sincerely: "I'm here today, besides helping my mother with a message, there are a few things I want to tell you."
