Invincible son

Chapter 687 686 [Family Banquet]

Half a month later, the turmoil caused by King Yan's treason case in the capital gradually subsided.

The important ministers of the two governments sit in the center, and the four of them work together to make it difficult for both the court and the people to cause disturbances.Although thousands of people were involved in this case, under Pei Yue's restraint, Taishitai Pavilion and the Ministry of Punishment did not intentionally expand.Especially for those courtiers who are suspected of taking the initiative to lean on Liu Zan, Lin Jia, Chang Qi and Fu Hongzhi must repeatedly check and try not to leave an unjust case.

Of course, there are some people who are not included in this list, such as Li Bingzhong, Marquis of Fengcheng, Liu Daxia, Shangshu of the Ministry of War, and Chen Xiangxian, Yushi Zhongcheng. Pei Yue has conclusive evidence that they have been in contact with Liu Zan before Emperor Kaiping left Beijing.As for Liu Zan and Zhang Wu who had committed suicide, Emperor Kaiping would not vent his anger on their corpses, but he must find out the people in these two mansions.

A large number of vacancies in real power in the DPRK and the army are like bait thrown into the water, causing restlessness among ambitious officials.

The truth in the world is so incomprehensible. Even if the predecessors are imprisoned, the latecomers still continue to follow suit. Many people can't let go of the word "right" throughout their lives.

In this busy and chaotic scene, Zhongshan Hou Mansion has a peaceful and warm atmosphere which is quite rare.

Except for giving opinions on the two important official positions of the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies and the garrison division of the capital, Pei Yue did not ask questions about other matters. The treason case only checked the files of Fu Hongzhi and the other three, and let people delete the complex and simplify it. After tidying it up, I copied it again and sent it to the palace.

He did not give any opinions on the case file, but only guaranteed that the content recorded above was absolutely true.

This surprised Emperor Kaiping, and at the same time felt that Pei Yue was sincere and open.

This kind of case will naturally lead to the death of many people, especially the relatives of Li Bingzhong of the Marquis of Fengcheng and Liu Daxia, Shangshu of the Ministry of War. The beheading of adult men and the sale of women into slavery are already inevitable endings.If Pei Yue stood up to intercede for them at this time, even if the lives of the men could not be saved, the women might be saved.

For Pei Yue, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to buy people's hearts. As long as he is willing to do that, he will definitely be able to reverse his reputation in the court in one fell swoop.

The reason why Emperor Kaiping entrusted this matter to Pei Yue was that apart from trust and rewards, he was also curious about what answer this young man would give.

After he read the case file, he was silent for half an hour, and finally ordered someone to pass the case file to the important officials of the two governments, ordering them to approve the fate of each suspect in accordance with the court law.

The court was very busy, but Pei Yue closed the door of the mansion tightly. Even Sun Qi and others were politely refused today.

"Is Marquis Pei not in the mansion?"

As one of the shareholders of Xiangyun, Sun Qi is also the core of the group of rich and powerful children, so he is quite respectable here, so Deng Shi, the chief housekeeper of the front yard, came out and explained in person: "Greetings to Young Master Sun, my Lord Hou is indeed here today. In the mansion, it's just not convenient to meet guests, so I invite Young Master Sun Haihan."

If it was a few years ago, Yu Tong, Lu Cheng and others next to him would definitely not be able to resist asking, but now they only dare to stand quietly aside.Sun Qi smiled at Deng Zhong, and asked calmly: "Old housekeeper, can you tell me why Pei Hou is so busy, maybe I can help."

Deng Shi quickly waved his hands and said, "Young Master Sun, don't misunderstand, Master Hou has nothing to worry about, it's just that the mansion is holding a family banquet today to entertain Lord Hou's righteous sister, so it is inconvenient to entertain all distinguished guests."

Step sister?

Sun Qi was curious, but also knew that Deng Shi was able to say these words to save his own face, and if he continued to ask, he would not know what was good or bad, so he bowed his hands to Deng Shi, and then left with a group of powerful children.

In the flower hall in the mansion, there is a table of sumptuous banquets.

Pei Yue sat at the main seat, Pei Ning and Ye Qi were on the left, Lin Shuyue and Tao Hua were on the right, and a girl who was careful not to show off was sitting on the opposite side.

"Little girl, I've been too busy to get away from you some time ago, don't blame me, my incompetent brother." Pei Yue smiled and said in a gentle tone, looking at the girl.

Shang Xiaomei was so nervous that her forehead was sweating, because her parents refused to come to the Zhongshan Hou Mansion, saying that she was allowed to enjoy this honor alone.After entering the mansion first, she felt dizzy and couldn't tell the difference between south, east and north.Lin Shuyue warmly entertained her on behalf of Pei Yue, but she dared not sit down, let alone speak, because after all, she had never experienced such a scene.

Pei Ning looked at Xiaomei Shang who was slightly bowing her head, and said softly: "Little sister, my name is Pei Ning."

Shang Xiaomei got up subconsciously and said: "Miss..."

Pei Yue shook his head with a smile, and said casually: "Just follow me and call me sister."

Taohua got the signal from Pei Yue's eyes, and quickly stood up, took Shang Xiaomei's arm to make her sit down, and whispered in her ear: "Master, let me tell you, if you don't want to feel at ease today, you will look down on me." His brother."

Shang Xiaomei quickly shook her head, and finally mustered up the courage to look at the crowd, and saw that everyone's eyes were soft and kind, without the slightest hint of ridicule.She tried to calm down, and whispered in Pei Ning's expectation: "I have seen the eldest sister."

Pei Ning replied: "Okay, since you recognize my sister, we will be a family in the future. It's just that the third brother didn't mention it to me, and I didn't prepare a meeting ceremony, so I can only wrong you for now, wait a little longer I will send someone to send it to you on a special day."

Young sister Shang's mood that had calmed down just now became tense again, and said repeatedly: "Eldest sister, I can't help it, young sister can't bear it, in fact, being able to sit here is already enough."

Pei Ning wanted to persuade her again, but Pei Yue smiled and said: "Sister, she needs a process of adaptation, not everyone is as thick-skinned as your third brother. If you want me to say, let the little girl feel more comfortable, after a long time she will Definitely not so tense and tormented."

Pei Ning said angrily: "How can anyone say that about himself?"

Ye Qi sighed: "Sister Pei, your third brother really knows himself."

Only she dared to say that, Lin Shuyue and Taohua absolutely did not have the guts.

Pei Yue said: "If it wasn't for my thick skin, Ye Qi, why would you be sitting here?"

This made Pei Ning a little embarrassed, but she was still sitting between these two people, feeling their eyes on each other, she felt a little embarrassed, but she also realized the fun that would never happen in Dingguo Mansion.

Listening to Pei Yue and Ye Qi's bickering, looking at the smiling faces of Pei Ning and the others, Shang Xiaomei finally let go of her embarrassment, and gradually felt that this Marquis Mansion is different.

After talking and joking, Pei Yue said to Shang Xiaomei: "Sit in the mansion for a while, and then I will send you back in person. Although you and I will be called brothers and sisters in the future, there are many people out there who are rascals and rascals." They emerge in endlessly, so I won't keep you here, lest people point and point at you behind your back."

Shang Xiaomei was slightly taken aback, she didn't expect Pei Yue to be so calm, she was surprised and moved.

Of course she is different from Pei Ning, the latter is Zhongshan Hou's biological sister, not to mention staying here for a few days, even a year or so is normal.But after all, she is just a righteous sister. If she lives directly in the Hou's mansion, those people outside don't know how to arrange it.

She lowered her head and said, "Thank you...brother."

Pei Yue nodded, and couldn't help but think of the young man who died at the entrance of the rift, and sighed softly in his heart.

The deceased is dead, and I only hope that these things I have done can comfort Shang Yu's spirit in heaven.
