"You...you!"
Xiao Han looked at the figure who smiled and greeted him, and his mouth opened wider and wider. In the end, it was so wide that it could almost fit into a fist!
"Lord Pei Ju, why do you..."
I was so shocked! I even almost said the words 'How are you still alive'! Fortunately, he reacted quickly and swallowed it back alive the moment he said it!
Of course, Xiao Han is not to blame!
To his death, he never imagined that Pei Ji, who disappeared mysteriously during the Xuanwu Gate Incident and Li Shimin had been searching for it for a long time, would now appear in Yangzhou, and he would be accompanied by Mo Jiazi!
Pei Ji also looked at Xiao Han at this time, his expression mixed with a feeling that things are right and people are different.
Arching his hands towards Xiao Han, Pei Ji shook his head and said: "Xiao Hou, don't call me an adult. There has been no one like Pei Ji in the court for a long time."
Xiao Han was still shocked. Just when he was about to ask again, Butler Lu touched him lightly behind him.
This subtle movement made Xiao Han know immediately that he should greet the host and guest first instead of continuing to chat with Pei Ji.
He took a deep look at Pei Ji and then focused his attention on the young man in the middle again.
"Master Yin?" Xiao Han said hesitantly.
"Xiao Hou!" the young man asked with a smile.
The extremely simple conversation gave the two of them a strange feeling, as if they had known each other for a long time.
To be honest, they have never faced each other.
But these days of overt and covert fighting have already made the two of them have an image of each other in their hearts.
Meeting at this moment has materialized this virtual image again.
The situation of meeting Yin Can was much simpler than Xiao Han had imagined before!
There were no pleasantries and no politeness! As for the etiquette that Butler Lu worked so hard to teach, most of it was useless, some of it was useless, and none of it was used! It was a waste of time for Xiao Han to learn it.
Like old friends, they came to the living room of the mansion together, where the guests of honor took their seats. The servants served tea and snacks before leaving.
For this meeting, Xiao Han and Butler Lu also took great pains. The tea used was all Mingqian tea from Luoyang Tea Mountain. After being stir-fried in an iron pot and brewed, the tea was fragrant.
Pei Ji, who was sitting next to Yin Can, smelled the aroma of tea. He picked up the tea first and took a sip. His face showed a look of nostalgia again, and then he said as if talking to himself: "Since I haven't been in Chang'an,
I haven’t had this tea in a long time.”
Xiao Han glanced at Pei Ji strangely, then looked at Yin Can with a smile in his eyes, and suddenly thought of something.
Pei Ji, during Li Yuan's time, was on the same level as Pei Ji, Liu Wenjing and others!
Such an important minister, whose hidden identity is also a member of the Mohist family, shows how powerful the Mohist family is!
Now that Yin Can brings Pei Ji here, does he mean to show off his muscles?
Xiao Han, who rolled his eyes and felt a little unhappy in his heart, suddenly said, "In that case, why doesn't Mr. Pei return to Chang'an? If you go back, His Majesty will definitely be delighted!"
After hearing Xiao Han's words, Pei Ji's expression did not change at all. He put down the tea cup and took a long breath and said: "Xiao Hou is joking. As an old minister of the Supreme Emperor, I am lucky to have survived! How?
Can you go back again?"
Xiao Han smiled and replied: "How could it be? Your Majesty is so generous! Lord Pei Ji tried to obstruct Your Majesty over and over again, but now he's not doing well anymore? There are no shortage of official positions and titles, so when you have nothing to do, you can enter the palace to have a banquet with the Supreme Emperor? If Lord Pei Ji
When you go back, Your Majesty will definitely be waiting for you."
"Pei Ji has nothing to do?" Pei Ji glanced at Xiao Han, his sharp eyes seemed to be able to see through his thoughts: "Is it possible that Pei Ji has nothing to do every day? I believe this, His Majesty is wise.
But to say he is generous, haha..."
With a sarcastic smile, Pei Ji continued: "Xiao Hou should know better than me what's going on at the Xuanwu Gate, right? In the palace, Chen Shuda fought to the death and Pei Ji surrendered! At that time, I was behind the main hall, looking at Yuchi.
Gong stepped forward and shouted, and with murderous intent forced the Supreme Emperor to give up the throne! And His Majesty was watching all this with cold eyes from behind! How could such a king still treat us old ministers as before?"
"This, Mr. Pei..."
Xiao Han's smile became a little stiff. He wanted to argue a few words, but found that the facts were indeed as Pei Ji said.
Li Yuan's old ministers are now almost finished! They are replaced by Li Shimin's close confidants like him.
"Hey, once the emperor has one court, this is the right principle in the world!"
Sighing helplessly, Xiao Han could only use these words to excuse Li Shimin.
Pei Ji didn't say anything anymore, he just sighed.
"Ahem..."
Just when the two of them were speechless, Yin Can, who was sitting in the host and guest seat, suddenly coughed twice, which made Xiao Han think for a moment that the protagonist today was not Pei Ji, but this one!
"Haha, these matters in the court are really beyond our control. Let's not talk about them today!"
He bowed his hands to Pei Ji in shame, Xiao Han looked at Yin Can again, and said enthusiastically: "I wonder what the purpose of your distinguished guest's visit today is?"
Huh? What am I here to do? You don’t know yet?
When Yin Can heard this, his cheeks couldn't help but twitch. Thanks to his good upbringing, he didn't have the urge to curse.
"Xiao Hou was joking. We had a lot of discussions in the past few days."
She really didn't want to keep pretending to be a fool with him, so Yin Can simply made the matter clear.
"Oh?" Xiao Han heard this, blinked his eyes, and suddenly looked like he suddenly realized: "No wonder I feel that Mr. Yin looks familiar! It turns out that you were the one on the boat! Hey,
It's a pity that none of my things were sold that day, and Mr. Yin interfered, which made me miserable!"
"..."
Yin Can was dumbfounded, Pei Ji covered his head, and the shopkeeper of Buhang looked angry! Even Xiao He frowned tightly and glanced at Xiao Han several times.
How shameless! Without saying a word, you first insisted that you were innocent! Then why didn't you say anything later about the run on your banknotes and almost destroying the Yangzhou Clothing Company?
If you take advantage of someone's crisis and secretly purchase raw materials, causing other people to run out of stock, why don't you say anything?
"Xiao Hou, what you said is a little wrong!"
Taking a few deep breaths, Yin Canjue realized that it was a big mistake to treat Xiao Han as the same person as him at first!
This guy is much more shameless than me!
"Xiao Hou, you are a smart man. Let's speak openly! What happened in the past few days is not worth mentioning to you and me! So don't take it to heart. As for today, I am here because I want to make friends with you.
one time."
