Invincible son

Chapter 546 545 [Inner Ghost]

Pei Yue asked Ye Qi to stay in the mansion, and asked her to take Tao Hua and Gu Zhen to the inner house to watch Lin Shuyue practice checking the accounts without distraction, and hurried to Taishitai Pavilion by himself.

This was the first time he came to this blue-gray building, and Silent Cloud was a little surprised by his arrival.

After hearing what he wanted, Mo Moyun didn't hesitate, and called a tall and thin middle-aged man, and briefly introduced: "His name is Jing Chu, and he is currently the head of the Taige Kun Department. Hou Peiyue, the nobleman who was redeemed by Gu Fan, the fourth son of Hou Guliang of Guangping, was kidnapped from the garden, and he suspects that this incident has something to do with the inner ghost."

Pei Yue cupped his hands and said: "It's urgent, I beg Master Jing to help."

"Don't dare."

Jing Chu's appearance was modest, his tone was modest, and he bowed slightly and said, "Master Pei's name is as loud as thunder, how dare you trust me in front of you? That nobleman is named Nanqin, and the house purchased by the fourth young master of the Gu family is located in Ruikang, Xicheng. Fang, I don't know if what the officer said is right?"

Even knowing that the duty of Taishi Taige is like this, and at this time there is a need for others, Pei Yue still felt a chill in his heart, and smiled reluctantly: "Mr. Jing's memory is admirable."

Jing Chu calmly said: "It's just a matter of duty. Marquis Pei, what exactly do you need to investigate?"

Pei Yue briefly explained the process of the matter and his own suspicions, then took out the guard list written by Gu Fan from his sleeve, handed it to Jing Chu, and said: "Since Miss Nanqin disappeared, there is no news until now. We can't be sure what the other party is going to do, we can only try from various aspects. If there is really a ghost among the guards, maybe this person knows the whereabouts of Miss Nanqin."

Jing Chu glanced at ten lines at a glance, and after thinking for a while, he said firmly: "Since these people are veterans of the Nanying, it is not difficult to find them out. I ask Lord Hou to give me three hours, and I will definitely be able to find out the suspicions on them."

Pei Yue said in surprise, "Thank you!"

"Don't dare, please wait a moment, Master Hou."

After bowing to the two of them, Jing Chu quickly left Shen Moyun's guard room.

Looking at his leaving back, Pei Yue couldn't help sighing: "Taige Pavilion is really a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger."

"Don't be impatient, sit down and talk." Mo Moyun pointed to the chair next to him, and then smiled: "This is the first time I see you so anxious."

Pei Yue smiled wryly and said: "My lord, don't make fun of me. Maybe after a while, your capable men will send a secret report from the Zhongshan Hou Mansion, which says that Gu Fan fought with me, and it almost turned into brothers turning against each other." result."

Mo Moyun said indifferently: "Gu Si Shao is a man of temperament, completely different from Gu Liang and his three elder brothers. The enemies hidden in the dark obviously value his personality of distinguishing between likes and dislikes. You play tricks."

Pei Yue shook his head and said: "Where is the distinction between love and hate, I think he is overwhelmed by love, and he thinks I am behind the scenes."

Mo Moyun glanced at him, smiled and said: "This statement is interesting, but if Gu Fan was as calm as you, he wouldn't stand up for you again in Luliuzhuang, after all, you didn't have a deep friendship at that time. "

The corner of Pei Yue's mouth twitched, and he said helplessly, "My lord, in your eyes, I am a person who can only calculate?"

Mo Moyun denied with a smile: "Of course not, you can also be called a man of temperament in what you did in the western region, but this is different from Gu Fan. He pays attention to love and hate, while you pay more attention to the overall situation. Which is higher and which is lower?" Can't judge, but personally I prefer your style."

Pei Yue said: "Your Excellency, I am just an ordinary person running around for fame and fortune."

Mo Moyun said meaningfully: "You must not be an ordinary person, otherwise, how could there be no outsiders in the huge Zhongshan Hou Mansion. Just now you hinted that there are people in your mansion, but now I can tell you for sure that there is only one person in the whole mansion." There is no useful news from the two ministers' residences, and yours is one of them."

Pei Yue's expression was as usual, and he explained calmly: "The mansion is full of children from Luliuzhuang. I am not tired of the old. After all, people who are familiar with me are more at ease."

Mo Moyun said with emotion: "So you don't have to test me with words. Taige is not as omnipotent as you think, and I don't have the ability to predict the future. When you were a bastard, you were in Luliuzhuang in advance." Place people there."

Pei Yue smiled, and changed the subject: "Your Excellency said that there are two mansions, and the other one should be the Duke Wei's mansion?"

Mo Mo Yun praised: "That's right."

Pei Yue asked suspiciously: "My lord, Wei Guogong did not climb up from a bastard. Besides, there are many dragons and snakes in the Duke's mansion. It should not be difficult to install some eyes and ears in the Tai Pavilion."

Mo Moyun looked at him with a half-smile and said: "I don't believe that you really don't understand. Some things can only be kept as secrets under the sun. Everyone can see it but pretend not to know it. Don't say that you have been in the army for more than 40 years. Wang Pingzhang, even Gu Liang will develop internal support in the Taige. For these military leaders, they have long known who is the spy of the Taige among the people around them, but most of them will open their eyes. Turning a blind eye, at most, people whose most important secrets are avoiding us."

Pei Yue was shocked and said: "Wang Pingzhang is so courageous? He even dared to expel the secret agents from the Tai Pavilion? No wonder His Majesty wants to use me to fight him."

Mo Moyun said with emotion: "You are outspoken."

Pei Yue responded calmly: "Others say that the imperial palace is the safest place in the world, but in my opinion, it is far less safe than Master Shen's house."

Mo Moyun sighed: "I used to think the same way. Forget about gossip, of course Wang Pingzhang will not be as direct as you said. He just arranged all the people from the Taige to clean the courtyard in the front yard, and even entered the Yimen Gate." If you don’t go, where can you find really useful information. Your Majesty also knows about this, but he didn’t get angry because of it, he just told me not to conflict with Wang Pingzhang.”

Pei Yue said slowly: "Our Majesty has a big heart, so why would he care about such details, after all, Wang Pingzhang will not rebel."

Mo Moyun was thoughtful after hearing this sentence, and then changed the topic and said: "The case of the disappearance of the Qing Dynasty official is not only caused by the inner ghost."

Pei Yue was slightly taken aback, looking at the other party's peaceful eyes, he really wanted to see clearly what was going on in his heart.

Of course, he has many judgments on this matter, but no matter how he guesses, the enemy's actions are too urgent.

The purpose of this matter must have something to do with him, the person who set up the trap is very familiar with his relationship with Gu Fan, but this does not mean that taking Nanqin away is the best choice.

Mo Moyun continued: "The identity of the nobleman seems to be no problem, no wonder the fourth young master of the Gu family has deep affection for her, but in my opinion, it is the best policy to use that woman to keep driving a wedge between you and Gu Fan. Taking people away in such a hurry, even if Gu Fan suspects you, it will definitely not lead to a situation of tyranny, because there are too many connections between you, and you have already been branded by Gu Liang."

Pei Yue ignored the last sentence and asked, "My lord also thinks there is something wrong with Miss Nanqin?"

Mo Moyun said: "This is not important. Even if she is really innocent, the black hand behind the scenes can still make all kinds of tricks to separate you. Now this move seems to be a foolish move, but a black hand with such power to kidnap people, He is not so naive in terms of conspiracy calculations, he must have other plans."

"Could it be that you want to kill me?" Pei Yue's expression kept changing.

Mo Moyun nodded and said, "It's also possible."

Pei Yue couldn't help but recall that when he just returned to Beijing, he found someone ambushing in Gulin Station. At that time, he and Ye Qi were ready to fight, but nothing happened in the end.

This shows one thing, there are people in the city who want him to die, not simply intrigue.

Pei Yue sneered and said, "Could it be that he wants to use Miss Nanqin's safety to force Gu Fan and me to fight for our lives? It would be too small for us."

"It's just a guess, just be careful." Mo Moyun reminded.

Pei Yue complied, and then remembered his previous request to Mo Moyun, so he took the initiative to ask some stories about the first year of Yongning. Communicating with this person who experienced it is more vivid than looking through the files.

Time passed quickly, and when it was already dark outside, and Pei Yue even enjoyed a meal at Taige in Shen Moyun's room, the elegant and elegant head of the Kun Department, Jing Chu, finally walked in.

"Master Hou has been waiting for a long time." Jing Chu saluted.

Pei Yue quickly waved his hand and said, "Master Jing, have you found any clues?"

Jing Chu quickly replied: "Fortunately, the subordinate led his subordinates to investigate the 16 people one by one. After clarifying everyone's family background and recent traces, they found that there was something wrong with this person."

Pei Yue took the note from him, his complexion sank slightly, and he cupped his fists and said, "Thank you, Mr. Jing."

Jing Chu lowered his head and said: "The business is important, please don't be too polite, Lord Hou."

Pei Yue nodded, then bid farewell to him and Shen Moyun, and left Taishitai Pavilion eagerly.

Today's Kyoto is extremely lively. First, Gu Fan, the son of the Marquis of Guangping, rang the grievance drum of the Kyoto Prefecture, which shocked the governor Su Ping and almost fell off the bed.Then the guys from Xiangyun Company went around asking for information, and the elite spies led by Qi Min and Yang Hu mixed among them, and they almost dug three feet of ground in the entire west city, just to find a little bit of clues.

These two incidents were a very rare event for the peaceful Kyoto in February, and some rumors even spread into the palace.

After Emperor Kaiping heard the rumors, he originally wanted Pei Yue to enter the palace to make it clear, but remembering that he just let him go out yesterday, and that he would not be seen again within three days, he hesitated for a moment and had to give up.The hardworking king was reviewing the memorial in the imperial study room, and laughed and scolded Pei Yue for being an uneasy troublemaker. This attitude made the eunuchs next to him feel awe-inspiring.

Zhongshan Hou's Mansion seemed to be the center of the storm, the calm on the outside concealed the turbulent waves inside.

In a small courtyard on the east side where the guards lived, in a brightly lit room, a young man was beaten with a black nose and face, and his body was covered with scars.

Gu Fan roared angrily: "Don't say that I cut you today!"

Pei Yue sat by and watched quietly.

Gu Fan is pressing the inner ghost in his guard, but he is not in the mood to appreciate this kind of violence. Instead, he thinks of an old incident in Kaiping four years ago.

This made him a little irritable.
