Invincible son

Chapter 627 626 [Sadness in music]

At three o'clock in the morning, Pei Yue returned to Zhongshanhou Mansion under the escort of his own soldiers.

Deng Zai and Wei Rui came forward to greet him. After saluting respectfully, Deng Zai said, "Master, Missy returned to Dingguo Mansion safely. No abnormalities were found on the way. Miss Ye has already returned to the back house."

Pei Yue nodded, looked at Wei Rui and asked, "Did those assassins let go?"

Although the progress of the assassination case did not exceed Pei Yue's expectations, and the final long talk with Emperor Kaiping had confirmed the follow-up plan, there were still a few unsolved mysteries in his heart.First of all, it was Empress Chen's nephew. At that time, Chen An led the eunuch to the Hou Mansion to announce the decree, and took advantage of the opportunity that no one else could approach to warn him. This made Pei Yue fully prepared in case Pei Ning made a mistake.

"Your eldest sister is in danger."

Chen An hurriedly said these six words.

Looking back afterwards, Pei Yue couldn't help being a little scared, because he originally guessed that Lu Jiang would have no energy left after the assassination on Yulong Street, even if he would send someone to escort Pei Ning back, he wouldn't let Ye Qi guard him in secret.If Pei Ning is unfortunate enough to be murdered, Pei Yue might really go crazy. In that case, no one is sure what will happen in front of Lu Wang's mansion.

This series of tricks was too vicious. The black hand behind the scenes used Ning Fengzhi as a key person to arrange two consecutive assassinations, but in the end he deliberately showed his feet in front of Lu Jiang and asked Lu Jiang to take Pei Yue to settle accounts with King Lu.As long as Pei Ning dies, Pei Yue will never negotiate with King Lu so calmly, and it will inevitably be a tragic scene of bloodshed.

Fortunately, Chen An warned me...

Pei Yue didn't know why Chen An did this, and he couldn't understand that he could know the arrangement of the killer behind the scenes.

It should be known that Daliang has strictly prohibited the harem from intervening in politics since the time of Emperor Gaozu, the queen's power was limited to the palace, and the descendant Chen family was not an aristocratic family. It stands to reason that Chen An did not have such a strong news channel.

Apart from Chen An, Pei Yue also wanted to know the true identity of the strong man on Yulong Street, which would fall on those assassins who were captured alive.

Wei Rui replied: "Back to Lord Hou, the man who fought Miss Ye on Gushui Street was named Yu Guangzu. His father violated military regulations in the army. It was Lu Min who saved his life. After Lu Min died, Lu Jiang He secretly contacted his father's subordinates, and in order to repay the Lu family's kindness, Yu Guangzu came from Qinzhou. Except for Yu Guangzu, the other assassins were also identified, and they were all related to Lu Min's power in the army."

Pei Yue asked in a deep voice, "What about the identity of that strong man on Yulong Street?"

Wei Rui showed shame, shook his head and said: "Those assassins don't know this person. They said that only Yu Guangzu went to Yulong Street. Now that Yu Guangzu is dead, Ning Fengzhi is imprisoned in the palace. For the time being, no one knows about that strong man." The details. The general speculates that the strong man should be a subordinate of Lu Wangfu."

Pei Yue turned to Fu Hongzhi and said, "Take me to the small courtyard in the east."

Fu Hongzhi bowed in response, and then twenty or thirty soldiers marched eastward, unable to see the details of the crowd clearly in the vast night.

Pei Yue then instructed Wei Rui: "Interrogate these assassins overnight, get as much useful information from them as possible, don't be afraid of killing people, I will take care of everything. By tomorrow morning, Taishitai Pavilion will definitely send someone to take over These assassins, when the time comes, you will hand them over directly."

Wei Rui understood, knowing that he only had one night, he nodded quickly and said: "The general will understand how to do it."

Pei Yue looked at his calm face, smiled and said: "You will only be wasted for one night. After the handover tomorrow, you will return to the North Camp with the Dragon Talisman and them all, and hurry up to train the soldiers. Hongzhi will stay in the mansion for the time being. I still have It's up to him to do it."

"The last general will obey the order." Wei Rui clasped his hands in response.

After he left, Pei Yue sat in the hall for a while, with only Deng Zai beside him.

"Deng Zai."

"Master, please order."

"Order Qi Min and Yang Hu to relax the surveillance of Dingguo Mansion and Wei Guogong Mansion from now on."

"Yes."

"Let them personally lead people to watch the four prince's residences, especially... Prince Yan's residence."

There was a bit of sternness in Pei Yue's stern eyes.

Deng Zai was startled, and immediately bowed his head and replied, "Yes, young master."

Pei Yue said again: "Let Wang Yong temporarily put aside the trivial matters on Xiangyun and hand it over to Qi Jun for supervision. He must speed up the progress of the manor's construction, and I will see the results by June at the latest. Let him not be afraid to spend money , directly summon the skilled craftsmen in the capital in the name of Zhongshan Marquis Mansion, and can also increase the remuneration for civilian husbands."

Although Deng Zai didn't understand why he was so eager, but he was very clear about his duty and still nodded in response.

Pei Yue got up and walked out, Deng Zai hesitated for a moment, then he said bravely, "Master, today is your big day."

Pei Yue's footsteps faltered, and he smiled wryly: "Someone go to the back to pass the word, I'll go there later, if you can't wait, let them rest first."

"Yes, sir."

Looking at Pei Yue's busy back, Deng Zai couldn't help but sigh in his heart, the young master is getting more and more tired now.

Naturally, Pei Yue didn't have so many emotions in his heart, and went straight to the east of Hou Mansion, a small courtyard closely guarded by soldiers.

Fu Hongzhi stood guard outside the door of the main room, and when he saw Pei Yue, he stretched out his hand and opened the door.

Pei Yue stepped in, only to see a lamp in the room, which was slightly dim.

There was a chair with a unique shape beside the table, and a middle-aged man was firmly tied to the chair, unable to move at all.

No one could have expected that Ning Fengzhi, who was supposed to be imprisoned in the palace, would appear in Zhongshanhou's mansion.

The man stared at Pei Yue with resentment in his eyes.

Pei Yue sat opposite him, and said calmly: "Tomorrow the news of you and Lu Jiang's death will spread throughout the capital, and then His Majesty will depose the eldest prince from the position of prince, and at the same time confine Princess Pingyang in the palace for a year. Long."

Ning Fengzhi sneered and said: "Pei Hou is really powerful, even the prince was defeated by you."

Pei Yue asked calmly, "Which prince?"

Ning Fengzhi said calmly: "His Royal Highness King Lu."

Pei Yue was still calm, looking at the expression on the middle-aged man's face, he said: "Actually, I really admire people like you. Not only do you not care about your own life or death, but you don't even care about the lives of your relatives and friends."

Ning Fengzhi smiled and said: "Peihou, would the lord watch you murder your family?"

Pei Yue asked again: "Which prince?"

Ning Fengzhi remained unmoved, and replied repeatedly: "His Royal Highness King Lu."

He knew that he was bound to die, but after all, Princess Pingyang ordered this matter. Although he concealed the inside story from King Lu, it was Princess Pingyang's request, and he just obeyed.As for the twists and turns in it, no one else can sort it out.

Most importantly, since he dared to do this, of course it was because someone had properly resolved his concerns.

Pei Yue watched the subtle expression changes on his face, and suddenly leaned forward and asked, "Do you know why I brought you out of the palace?"

Ning Fengzhi knew it well, it was because he knew the truth of the assassination case, but he didn't believe that Pei Yue had the ability to pry his mouth open, so he smiled and said: "Pei Hou, there is no need to say more, if you want to use torture, you can Please go ahead."

Pei Yue shook his head, and said with a sneer, "You and I can make a bet."

"What are you gambling?"

"Bet your family's life."

Ning Feng looked at Pei Yue intently, and suddenly let out a burst of arrogant laughter, as if mocking Pei Yue's overreach and bluff.

Pei Yue didn't stop him, and let him laugh briskly. He didn't speak slowly until the person's laughter stopped.

Listening to what Pei Yue said, the smile on Ning Fengzhi's face gradually froze, and finally showed a bit of horror.
