Invincible son

Chapter 547 546 [Truth]

Pull the time back to September [-]th in the fourth year of Kaiping.

Located in the wild forest to the southeast of Green Willow Village, Fang Rui's graveyard was dug up, and his bones disappeared.

Pei Yue suspected that there was an inner ghost among his own soldiers, otherwise it would be absolutely impossible for the people of Southern Zhou to accurately find Fang Rui's burial place after a year without alarming the farmer.

This is something that makes him very angry.

Because there are only seven people who know this place, and they are the first soldiers who followed Pei Yue.

Deng Zai, Wang Yong, Qi Min, Qi Jun, Yang Hu, Geng Yi and Chen Danian.

These people were originally the sons of Dingguo Mansion's family, and the greatest prospect in this life is nothing more than becoming the head of the farm.Pei Yue not only relieved them of their status as slaves, but also invited them to be taught by a great talent like Mr. Xi. You must know that this kind of treatment cannot even be enjoyed by many noble children.If it weren't for Mr. Xi's careful teaching, how could these people have the ability to stand on their own, and it would be impossible for them to leap into the dragon's gate like they are today.

Pei Yue originally wanted to dig out the idiots among the soldiers, but there were many foreign affairs and fights, and then he left Beijing to go south, so he could only temporarily suppress this matter.

Later Chen Xizhi died in Lingzhou, everything was fine in the capital, Pei Yue seemed to gradually forget about it.

However, after returning to Beijing, he was shocked to find that Chen Xizhi was still alive, and he couldn't help but have many associations.Even Ye Qi has his own secrets, let alone these 20-year-old boys around him who have never seen the prosperity of the world?Faced with the coercion and temptation of the enemy behind the scenes, it is inevitable that some of these soldiers will make mistakes.

Pei Yue never believed that there would be absolute loyalty in the world. Everyone has their own ideas. The kind of loyal minister who pulls out his heart, lungs and intestines to show his heart should only exist in beautiful legends.

As far as these seven people are concerned, Deng Zai and Wang Yong have similar personalities, quick in action but slow in speech. Both of them have excellent family traditions, and they should not make mistakes when the future is bright.Yang Hu's father died in the night battle at Lvliuzhuang, and he certainly would not bow to the enemy who killed his father.

Qi Min was the most unlikely candidate in Pei Yue's mind, because he could see the desire and ambition for power in this person's eyes.Pei Yue didn't care about this kind of thinking, because Qi Min knew very well that as long as he left Pei Yue, he would be worthless.For this kind of person who entrusted all his wealth and future on Pei Yue, any coercion and temptation would be useless.

After thinking about it, maybe the person with the problem appeared between Qi Jun, Geng Yi and Chen Danian.

Pei Yue's attention and respect for these three people is not as high as that of the other four, but after all, they are the first to actively follow Pei Yue's side.At that time, Pei Yue was just a bastard, which was not the same as now.In the past few years, they have worked hard and diligently completed the tasks assigned by Pei Yue, even if they have no credit, they have worked hard.

This thorn has been stuck in his heart. Although Pei Yue didn't find any clues, it doesn't mean he will completely forget it.

Now that he was sitting at the table watching Gu Fan interrogate the guard, the thorns in his heart arose again, making the emotion between his brows and eyes more dull.

"Fourth young master, this subordinate is not a traitor! This subordinate is really not!" The guard knelt on the ground and yelled miserably.

Gu Fan's attack in a rage was extraordinary, the man was completely changed after punching him, if Gu Fan didn't want to ask Nanqin's whereabouts from him, he might have become a corpse long ago.

Hearing his pleading, Gu Fan said angrily: "Don't call me young master, you are not worthy to be the guard of the Gu family! Tell me, what benefits did they give you to make you commit such a despicable traitorous act! "

The guard hesitated to speak.

Gu Fan sneered twice, and Pei Yue saw this and said: "If you don't want to be beaten to death by him, I advise you to be honest. Speaking of which, you are also quite powerful. Let a chief of Taishitai Pavilion bring dozens of An elite spy is going all out to investigate, this is the treatment only for senior officials above the fourth rank."

Hearing the word Taishi Taige, the guard's face immediately turned pale as paper, and he said in panic: "Fourth Young Master, Young Master Pei, I really have some unavoidable difficulties."

"Hurry up!" Gu Fan's patience had obviously reached its limit.

The guard lowered his head and said slowly: "Fourth young master, this subordinate has received 800 taels of silver."

Gu Fan's eyes widened, with an expression of disbelief on his face, he said in a daze, "What did you say? 800 taels of silver? You betrayed the Gu family just because of 800 taels of silver?"

The guard raised his head to look at Gu Fan, and said fearfully, "Fourth Young Master, do you know why this subordinate left the army?"

Gu Fan said coldly: "Why?"

The guard took a breath, and seemed to have a little more courage in his heart, and replied: "This subordinate was originally a Yanshan Guard infantry in the Southern Camp of the Beijing Army, and later went to the Southern Territory in rotation. During an encounter with the elite Pingjiang camp of the Southern Zhou Dynasty, , Thousands of our Yanshan Guards lost their comrades, and our subordinates survived by luck, but they also suffered from incurable diseases, and there are not many years left to live."

Gu Fan was startled, and asked slowly: "Are you taking revenge on the Gu family?"

The guard quickly shook his head, and said sincerely: "This subordinate has never thought about it this way. Not only did Lord Hou give me money to comfort my disabled, but also let me join the guard team of the Hou's mansion. How dare I forget such kindness?"

Gu Fan was puzzled and said, "Then why did you do this?"

The guard was silent for a moment, and said honestly: "The root cause of this illness of this subordinate needs to take medicine for a long time. There are old parents to support and three children to take care of at home. The wife of this subordinate is already very hard to take care of the family on weekdays. She has no ability or Focus on earning money. The court gave a total of 30 taels of silver, and Hou Ye added 70 taels himself. The 100 taels are all the savings in his family. Now he is working as a guard in the Hou Mansion, and he has two taels of silver every month, which can be maintained for the time being livelihood. It’s just that as the days go by, the subordinates can feel that their health is getting worse and worse, and they may not be able to stand up again at any time. Alive?"

Gu Fan only felt that there were a lot of words in his chest, but seeing the miserable face of this person, he couldn't speak for a while.

Pei Yue is not surprised by this. Many military generals and nobles will take their old subordinates under their command. They always feel that no matter how powerful or weak these people are, at least there will be no problem with their loyalty.The guard in front of me is probably the lowest-ranked manpower, so he was assigned to the mansion in the west city as a sentry.

In fact, Gu Liang has tried his best to be responsible to those who follow him, but the Guangping Marquis Mansion is not a bank, so it is impossible to throw away banknotes at will.

The higher the status, the more people need to be responsible. Gu Liang has more than ten million fans in the army. If everyone is wounded on the battlefield, he has to support this big family, then the Guangping Marquis Mansion will not be enough even if they sell their ancestral property. .

Even though he has already spent a lot of money, it is not much that will be distributed to everyone.

After a long time, Gu Fan said in a deep voice: "Since you have such difficulties, why didn't you tell me earlier?"

The guard hesitated for a while, and said guiltily: "Master Hou is good enough to us people, he has no face to beg again, and only regrets that he has no ability to earn money."

Gu Fan was so angry that he said angrily: "You don't have the face to beg me, do you have the face to be a traitor? I really don't understand the thinking of a person like you. Do you think that you can hide the world forever by doing this kind of thing? No one will find out? Which is more important, have you never thought about this issue?"

The guard lowered his head and said slowly: "Fourth young master, this money is given to this subordinate by the girl's personal maid."

A cold light suddenly flashed in Pei Yue's eyes.
