Chapter 22 Fengdu Censor 1
In fact, she should have thought that with her gentle conversation and temperament, she must be the daughter of someone in the capital. Generally, when a young lady of her status gets sick, the whole family is worried about it, and then goes everywhere to seek treatment from good doctors, but she didn't. Being left here without any care.

I'm afraid he is also the one who is not favored in the family.

Huo Jiuge felt a sense of sadness for no reason when he thought of this. In fact, the original owner's life was similar to hers. Her father didn't care for her, her mother didn't love her, and she had to be ostracized everywhere.

Perhaps because they share the same disease, Huo Jiuge looked at Wen Yan with a little more pity. She covered her with a quilt carefully, and then comforted her and said, "Don't think too much, take good care of yourself first."

Wen Yan took out a jade pendant from his arms, handed it to Huo Jiuge and said, "If something happens to me unfortunately, please give this thing to the Marquis Changxin's house and let them take my body with me." Mother’s buried together.”

Her words were full of maturity beyond her years, and Huo Jiuge took the thing in her hand.

The jade was extremely warm and moist, and it looked like it was made of top quality material. It was just a pity that it was incomplete, otherwise it would have been worth a fortune.

After Huo Jiuge took it away, he said to Wen Yan, "I'll keep it for you first. After you recover, I'll return it to you."

Wen Yan just smiled and said no more words.

By the next day, several more critically ill patients were admitted to Huo Jiuge's tent.

It is better for everyone to be treated together than to be crowded together with others.

After everyone took the medicine yesterday, their conditions were relieved to varying degrees, at least the high fever was reduced, and there were no side effects such as diarrhea or headache.

At noon, when Huo Jiuge was prescribing medicine for the patient as usual, he heard everyone talking about one thing, that is, the emperor thought that these people below were not doing things well and had sent people down again.

Huo Jiuge turned a deaf ear and just felt that the name of the person in their mouth was somewhat familiar.

Among those whose surname was Pei Qie was famous in the capital, Huo Jiuge only knew one person, and that was the empress whom she offended upon her arrival.

The current queen comes from the Pei family. She is the only daughter of the former Taifu. She was a childhood sweetheart with the emperor. Later, she married the emperor as a concubine, and then she became a queen from a noble concubine.

The Lord Pei everyone calls is a child of their family adopted by the former Taifu. He is named Jingxing, which is taken from the "High Mountains Yang Zhi" and "Jing Xing Xing Zhi" in "The Book of Songs".

The implication is to make him a person of high moral character.

Whenever Pei Jingxing is mentioned, the officials in the capital are reluctant to say anything. They avoid it if they can. The reason is that when he was the censor of the Supervisory Yuan, he was too sharp in his work. It only takes a glance to see the flaws.

Previously, the emperor sent him to investigate the case of the Ninth Prince forming a clique for personal gain, and he immediately brought out all the cases. Because that year was the Year of Jiazi, what happened that year was also called the "Jiazi Case."

A total of more than 3000 people were involved. That year, the entire capital was not at peace. Almost every once in a while, an official would be found to be involved with the Ninth Prince, and then his home would be confiscated and exiled.

In short, during the days when he was a Beijing official, everyone lived with courage. He was merciless and unwilling to deal with others. Anyone who wanted to curry favor with him or give him gifts would directly contact him. He will throw you out of the house with all the gifts, and then when you go to court the next day, he will give you a copy in front of the emperor.Over time, the officials gave him a nickname, calling him "Fengdu Yushi", which meant that as long as you fell into his hands, you would not be far from death.

Although he was famous for being serious in officialdom, he was very filial to his tutor and his wife.

He was originally the legitimate son of the side house of the Pei family. When he was a child, he went out with his parents during a Lantern Festival and accidentally got separated. He was abducted by human traffickers and was not brought back to the Pei family until he was 11 years old.

His mother had been crying every day since he was lost. She was depressed and fell ill. She had passed away before he came home. By the time Pei Jingxing came home, his father had already made his concubine his wife. , and also gave birth to two sons.

Unfortunately, his stepmother was very unkind to him. She even blamed him for occupying the position of her son's legitimate son after he came back, so she was very harsh on him. Not only did she embarrass him in public, she even couldn't afford to teach him when he was in school. Literacy.

The Pei family was originally a scholarly family, not to mention that there was an elder who was a tutor.

Later, after Taifu Pei learned about this incident, he rushed directly to his house, pointed at his brother and scolded: "You just ignore etiquette and spoil your concubine and destroy your wife. You also bring shame on our entire Pei family with you. You go out and ask Ask, is there any father like you in the entire capital?"

The child's father couldn't save his face and said a few things about his wife.

Perhaps it was for this reason that Pei Jingxing's stepmother completely hated him. Although she later hired a teacher for him, compared to her own son, he was incomparable to heaven and earth.

Maybe it was retribution. The stepmother's two sons were mediocre in ability. No matter how hard their husband taught them, they could never even pass the Jinshi exam.

He was also simple-minded and was deceived into becoming the Ninth Prince's aide.

Later, when the Ninth Prince fell, the two of them were the first to be liquidated. At that time, Pei Jingxing had been adopted by Taifu Pei. Logically speaking, he had nothing to do with the original family. However, due to etiquette, he was still their elder brother.

So at that time, everyone was ready to watch his show.

Who taught you to clamor to investigate this matter?Now it's up to you.

When a younger brother commits a crime like this, the best thing for an older brother to do is to avoid suspicion, that is, to show the emperor that he is incompetent and not ask for demotion at all.

However, Pei Jingxing was admitted to the top exam at the age of 17, making him the youngest number one scholar since the founding of the Northern Zhou Dynasty. He inherited his father's business at a young age, and was later promoted to the position of inspector and censor, which can be said to be a great success.

But just when everyone was about to watch his good show, he said: "The emperor breaks the law and the common people are equally guilty. You two are my brothers and you should understand this truth better. Now that you know the law and break the law, the crime will be increased. It should be It’s right to execute him immediately!”

In this way, he executed his two half-brothers with his own hands, so that his father said to him later: "I am unworthy, that's why I raised such evil sons. Mr. Pei is upright and selfless. May I Can assist the Holy Son of Heaven for hundreds of millions of years!"

But someone who valued his future so much asked to resign and go back to Dingyou after his adoptive mother passed away.

This is really incredible!
