Invincible son

Chapter 552 551 [Two birds with one stone]

"Remember, next time you make a mess again, I will definitely not be polite."

Pei Yue said generously, and then continued to analyze: "As you said, no bandits in Daliang have the guts to provoke the Guangping Marquis for 10 taels of silver. You are not stupid, you can tell who is a fat sheep and who is a tiger, only those dudes with shallow foundations will stir up trouble everywhere."

"Could it be an official person?"

"Impossible. The Great Liang court struggle is relatively mild, and there are very few life-and-death struggles. When Xue Tao's plan for the ruling position failed, the adults in the court not only did not embarrass him, but also allowed him to sit on the throne of the governor of Lingzhou. Your Majesty It can be seen from this that he was even named a Bachelor of Palace Pavilion. Taking a step back, even if someone really wanted to harm Uncle Gu, they would not use such indecent methods. I don’t understand this simple truth.”

"If you think about it this way, the scope is narrowed down a lot."

Pei Yue nodded, and said in a cold voice: "The other party is not in the Daliang government, and he and I both have grudges. In fact, the answer is self-evident."

Gu Fan can't keep up with his rhythm, after all, he is not good at these calculations and plans.In fact, following Pei Yue's words, he already had a faint direction in his mind, but thinking about it this way would touch a very scary possibility, which made him unwilling to continue thinking about it.

Pei Yue had been observing the change in his expression, and sighed softly upon seeing this, "Brother, you must be mentally prepared."

Gu Fan's eyes were very painful, he shook his head and said, "I don't believe it."

Pei Yue said solemnly: "After ruling out other possibilities, the remaining one may be the correct judgment. The third brother has made a lot of military exploits in the western region, but the Western Wu people will definitely not go to the capital to trouble you. Uncle Gu stood out from the war in the southern border back then, and his credit was taken from the Southern Zhou people. In addition, the eldest brother and the second brother are now in command of the southern border. It is impossible for the Zhou people to assassinate Uncle Gu and the two in the army. Brother, then the target can only be you."

He paused, and said in a deep voice: "As for myself, I killed Fang Rui and those Fang family children in Luliu Village, and then went to Hengduan Mountain to deal with the rest of the thieves with Brother Li Jin. It’s not big. You and I are as close as brothers, those people failed to provoke, so they simply took the risk and wanted to use this opportunity to kill two birds with one stone.”

Hearing the word provocative, Gu Fan frowned deeply.

Pei Yue suddenly asked: "Do you believe Cheng Guangtai's words?"

Gu Fan thought of the guard who suffered from a serious illness on the battlefield, his miserable expression appeared in his eyes, he couldn't help but sighed, and said wistfully, "I believe it."

"I also believe that after all, he was a soldier brought by Uncle Gu, so he wouldn't be insane and directly collude with the people of Nanzhou. Yun'er is Miss Nanqin's personal servant girl, and it is possible that she herself was coerced. This matter has nothing to do with Nanqin. Miss Qin has nothing to do with it. But the situation in front of us is bottomless, and we can only speculate about the identity of the mastermind behind the scenes, and we don't know anything about his plans and arrangements. Since it is so dangerous, we must prepare for the worst."

After Pei Yue finished speaking sincerely, he quietly waited for Gu Fan's reply.

Gu Fan knew in his heart that the so-called worst-case scenario was Nanqin's secret.

This time he was not like he was in that house before, because Pei Yue's suspicion gave birth to strong opposition.In fact, after Pei Yue's analysis, Gu Fan gradually realized the problem.

Although he is not as thoughtful as Pei Yue, he is not too confused. Since he has a deep love for Nanqin, he will definitely check the people around her, so as to ensure Nanqin's safety.

Yun'er's life experience is very simple and innocent. A native of Kyoto, because of a change in her family, she was forced to work as a maid in Liyuan, and then she was selected by Nanqin. At first, she was only in charge of sweeping the courtyard. It has been nine years since she became a personal servant girl.

Not to mention the possibility of Yun'er colluding with foreign enemies, her experience and temperament alone determine that she does not have the courage to do such a thing without fear.If there was no acquiescence or even orders from Nanqin, how dare she buy Gu Fan's guards?Whenever Cheng Guangtai asks Nanqin for proof, Yun'er should understand what will happen to him and his family.

It's just that if this is the case, the development of the matter will point to a possibility that Gu Fan doesn't want to see at all.

After a long time, he said with difficulty: "Brother Yue, maybe your guess is right."

Pei Yue's face was calm, but he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

If Gu Fan is stubborn to the end, there is really nothing he can do. Even if he doesn't go to Pingyuan Town, can he just watch Gu Fan die?

He asked calmly, "Do you want to go?"

Without any hesitation, Gu Fan nodded and said, "Go."

Seeing that Pei Yue didn't object, he added: "Whether Nan Qin is Nan Zhou's secret work or not, I have to see her with my own eyes and ask her face to face. If I don't, I won't be able to feel at ease in my life."

Pei Yue raised his hand and patted him on the shoulder, and said in relief: "Okay, since you have made your decision, leave the rest to me. You just need to sing well on the stage."

Gu Fan looked at him gratefully and asked, "Then what should I do now?"

Pei Yue smiled lightly, and said calmly: "You haven't slept all night, your nerves are already too tense. Don't worry, I guarantee that Miss Nanqin will not be in any danger. You go back now, have a good sleep and refresh yourself. Then comfort Auntie and Sister Zhen'er and tell them not to worry. Now that Uncle Gu hasn't returned to Beijing, we are men in the mansion. No matter how big the storm outside is, we can't keep them in a panic. I need to think about it, and then Make detailed arrangements. When you come over tomorrow evening, I will tell you the complete plan, and you will go south to Pingyuan Town early in the morning to solve this matter thoroughly."

Gu Fan was silent for a moment when he heard the words, then suddenly stood up and bowed, and said solemnly: "Brother Yue, I was the elder brother before, I'm sorry for you."

Pei Yue quickly stretched out his hand to pull him up, and said with a smile: "It's almost done, I just made a few jokes, and you still keep it in your heart. If you really want to talk about it, how many times have you helped me? Uncle Gu and Auntie treated me How? Teeth can still fight, a little misunderstanding between brothers is a fart, if you continue to be so hypocritical, I really don’t recognize you as a brother.”

The expression on Gu Fan's face finally relaxed, and he smiled and said, "Then I'll go back home first, and I'll come to you tomorrow."

"Okay, I won't send it."

Pei Yue watched him leave quietly, and stood there thinking for a long time.

There was a lot of discussion in the capital. Many people knew that the favorite of the fourth young master of the Guangping Hou Mansion was robbed. He went to the Guangping Hou Mansion to appease and inquire.It is said that His Majesty was very angry, and immediately summoned Zuo Lingchen Mo Moyun of Taishitai Pavilion into the palace to reprimand him, and ordered him to arrest the thief and rescue the former oiran who left the garden within three days.

Only a very few interested people noticed that the carriages of the Zhongshan Hou Mansion had been running around the capital.

On the evening of February 21st, less than nine hours before the time agreed by the bandits, and before Gu Fan arrived, Pei Yue returned to the side hall of the Hou Mansion, and there were seven young men standing in the room.

These people, headed by Deng Zai, were the first soldiers to follow Pei Yue.

Pei Yue glanced over their faces one by one, and said lightly: "You should be very clear about Gu Fan's affairs. The other party asked him to go to Pingyuan Town to redeem people tomorrow. We must help in this matter."

Deng Zai and Wang Yong looked solemn, Qi Min's eyes were slightly excited, and the expressions of the others were also very solemn.

"I have already asked Your Majesty to send a soldier from the southern camp of the Beijing Army, together with all the people in the mansion, to surround Pingyuan Town so that not even a bug can escape. Next, I will tell Your detailed layout, you can't make any mistakes, understand?"

"Yes, Master!"

The crowd responded in unison.

With clear eyes, Pei Yue spoke slowly, and his followers listened carefully, not daring to miss a single word.

On the table was a simple topographic map of the surrounding area of ​​Pingyuan Town, including all the roads. Pei Yue pointed to the location on the map and told them the detailed encirclement and interception formation.

After half an hour, Pei Yue asked, "Is everything clear?"

"Clear!"

Pei Yue nodded, and said slowly: "Let's go get ready. Remember, what I told you just now is the most important secret, and you must not reveal the slightest bit of information, otherwise Miss Nanqin will not be able to save her, and instead let the black hands behind the scenes run away. , then I will have no face to see Gu Fan again."

It seems to be just a very common exhortation.

After everyone agreed, they began to walk out.

After a while, Pei Yue looked at a figure who suddenly returned, his eyes gradually turned cold.
