Invincible son

Chapter 630 Chapter 629

There was a long silence in Yashe, and even Deng Zai and Feng Jing, who were standing beside them, could feel the aura of the coming rain.

"My lord?"

Pei Yue asked calmly, as if he didn't notice that King Yan's eyes had become very indifferent.

King Yan suddenly raised the corners of his mouth, and said with a smirk: "On the way here, I was thinking that it might not be a good thing for Peihou to invite you today. The so-called banquet is not good, so it turns out that there is such a thought behind it."

Pei Yue asked in confusion: "What does the prince mean by this?"

King Yan put his hands on the table and said in a deep voice, "What's the meaning of Marquis Pei?"

Pei Yue chuckled suddenly, filled the wine cup self-consciously, then lifted it up and hung it in front of him, looked at the clear Pingjiang Shuangzheng in the cup, tilted his head slightly and said: "Maybe the prince doesn't know, but I'm a man with a strange temper. I have never believed that it is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years. It would be fine if I had no ability, but now that I can make the enemy pay the price, revenge naturally has to be seized from morning to night. Ning Fengzhi is hiding in the dark to stir up the situation, Even targeting my relatives, such a person has long been determined to die, even if he is cut into pieces, it will not help. So, now I just want his whole family to die."

King Yan snorted softly and said, "Father will not allow you to do this, and the princes of the Manchu Dynasty will not accept such a cruel and ruthless real power."

Pei Yue said nonchalantly: "These are not important. If Ning Feng's whole family is not killed, it will not be enough to warn those dark hands in the dark. Similar assassinations will continue to happen. If I even kill my own relatives If you can't keep it, so what if you live a lifetime of glory and wealth?"

King Yan finally couldn't bear it anymore, he raised his hand and slapped the table and said, "Pei Yue, are you threatening me?"

Pei Yue asked in surprise: "My lord, when did I threaten you?"

King Yan said angrily: "If you want to seek revenge, shouldn't you go to the eldest brother of this king? This king has nothing to do with Ning Fengzhi. He only met him a few times before the assassination. How could he know his relatives and friends?" Where are the family members? Today you invited me to come here, pointing at Sang and scolding Huai everywhere in your words, do you think that Ning Fengzhi's plot was instigated by me?"

"My lord, calm down."

Pei Yue said calmly, "It's my fault for not speaking clearly. I'll punish myself with a drink."

He raised the wine cup and drank it down in one gulp, and then showed the bottom of the cup to King Yan.

Pingjiang Shuangzheng is strong wine. According to the measurement method of Pei Yue's later generations, there are more than two taels in a full cup.Even though he now has a strong body, his face turned red at a speed visible to the naked eye after drinking it.

King Yan's expression softened a little, and he frowned and said: "Pei Yue, this king is just an idle prince. He usually likes to dance and write, and earn some money by the way. He never interferes with the affairs of the court. I can understand your desire for revenge, but I really can’t help with this.”

Pei Yue sighed lightly: "Your Highness is too modest. The reason why you invited His Highness to the banquet today is actually to use His connections to help me find out the details of Ning Fengzhi."

King Yan said: "I have made it very clear just now, it's not that I don't want to help you, but that I can't do anything."

Pei Yue looked up at the two standing beside him, and said calmly, "Deng Zai, you go out first."

"Yes."

Deng Zai nodded in response, then turned and left.

King Yan looked at Feng Jing, and the latter understood, and followed Deng Zai out of this elegant house.

Pei Yue pondered and said: "My lord, according to the information I have so far, Ning Fengzhi should be a failed candidate. By chance, he entered the palace of Prince Lu and gradually became the confidant of King Lu. Now that King Lu is deprived of his title, he hates me. To the bone, it is naturally impossible to tell me the details of Ning Fengzhi, so I can only ask the prince for help."

King Yan did not categorically deny it this time, he asked with obscure eyes: "Why is it this king?"

Pei Yue smiled wryly, and said slowly: "You don't need to mention the eldest prince. I have rifts with the second prince and the sixth prince, and there is no friendship at all in the past. After thinking about it, only the prince can help me. Of course , this is not the most important reason, but the prince has this ability."

King Yan said strangely: "Unexpectedly, I still have such a heavy weight in your heart."

Pei Yue said sincerely: "Because the prince has Xianyunzhuang in his hands."

In the past ten years, Xianyun Ping has won dozens of outstanding literary talents, and based on this, it has opened up an amazing network of relationships.To this day, even Emperor Kaiping himself does not know how much influence the Fourth Prince has among civil servants.Pei Yue wanted to find out the details of Ning Fengzhi, apart from the official channels and the secret agents of Taishitai Pavilion, it was actually the most convenient way to rely on the connections of the Fourth Prince.

King Yan naturally understood this, but he did not agree for a long time.

Seeing this, Pei Yue asked with concern: "Is there any inconvenience, my lord?"

These words made King Yan's heart tremble, and he immediately understood that this was Pei Yue's temptation.Ordinarily, he and King Lu were not close. This time, King Lu had an accident, but he had a broad-minded heart without getting into trouble. Helping Pei Yue along the way would make the two of them completely mortal enemies.No matter from which point of view, he has no reason to refuse.

After a long time, King Yan said in a deep voice, "I can check it out for you, but I don't guarantee that it will be found."

Pei Yue smiled and said: "Thank you, my lord. In return, I am willing to give half of Qinyuan's dry shares to my lord."

King Yan waved his hand and said, "That's okay, I don't like to take advantage of others. The half of the dry shares will be calculated as silver at the price negotiated before, and the king will send someone to deliver the silver to you when Qinyuan is completed. .”

Pei Yue took a sip of the strong wine, didn't care about such trivial matters, and said slowly: "My lord knows, I met Ning Fengzhi in the palace that night."

King Yan said calmly, "What did he say?"

Pei Yue sighed, "He didn't say anything."

King Yan nodded slightly, and said calmly: "You regard him as a down-and-out literati, but in the eyes of this king, he is more like a dead man. No matter whether the assassination is successful or not, he will never leave the capital alive. He will defy the crime against himself, and will not implicate Brother Dahuang."

Pei Yue agreed and said: "That's true, but I always feel that His Royal Highness King Lu was wronged."

"Oh? How can you see it?"

"My lord, Ning Fengzhi, as a confidant of King Lu, followed Princess Pingyang's order to assassinate me, but he refused to tell King Lu from the beginning to the end. Do you think this is normal?"

King Yan was startled and said, "There is such a thing?"

Pei Yue recounted what he saw and heard in the palace that night, and finally said: "Now that Ning Fengzhi is dead, this clue is completely broken."

King Yan stared fixedly at Pei Yue, and suddenly asked: "Is Ning Fengzhi really dead?"

Pei Yue said calmly: "Your Majesty, the most difficult thing in life is to be confused. How could Your Majesty fail to see the strangeness of this matter? After Ning Fengzhi died, those bloody truths could be buried in the ground. There is no need to involve others. After all, our Majesty only has such a few princes."

King Yan was slightly startled, and then sighed: "It makes sense, no matter whether this matter is planned by the second brother or the sixth brother, if another prince is involved, the father will definitely feel uncomfortable. But, Pei Yue, you Are you willing?"

Pei Yue was silent for a moment, then squeezed out a smile and said: "That's why I turned to the prince for help, so that the Ning family will never be reborn forever."

King Yan suddenly remembered that in Xianyun Village, Pei Yue hacked to death the leader of the imperial guards in front of Princess Pingyang, and he had a more real understanding of this man's murderous intent.

At the same time, the taut string in his heart gradually relaxed.
