Although the Weiwu Hou Mansion is no longer the ruined place where foxes and rabbits roam, and he, Pei Ji, is no longer the old cripple who cannot do anything and can only wait for death, but it seems that he is not yet good enough to make Jing Zhaoyin
To the point of visiting in person.
This is like going to the Three Treasures Palace for nothing.
Therefore, after the servants served tea, Pei Ji took the initiative and said: "Master Ji, I don't know what advice you can give me when you come to Weiwuhou Mansion today?"
Ji Yu likes this kind of directness.
He and Pei Ji didn't have any friendship at all. It would be embarrassing if they kept bragging about each other in business, wouldn't it?
Therefore, when Pei Ji asked, he said: "I do have something to do with my visit today. According to someone who submitted information to me, it is said that a group of guests came to the Weiwu Marquis Mansion more than a month ago?"
A group of guests?More than a month ago?
Pei Ji understood it as soon as he heard it.
He chuckled and said, "Lord Ji, you are just joking. Look at the current state of my Weiwu Marquis Mansion. How can we expect any guests to come to our door?"
Ji Yu is a little unhappy, does Pei Ji not want to admit it?
Before he could speak, he heard Pei Ji say again: "There are no guests. However, some people of the same clan came from the Pei family's hometown. They are not considered guests. They are living in the house now. If Master Ji said that
It’s what they said, and it’s true!”
Jiyu: "..."
He said: "I wonder where your fellow tribesmen are?"
Pei Ji understood, I'm afraid it wasn't the Sixth Prince's action. Otherwise, who could possibly invite Lord Jing Zhaoyin?
After what the concubine of the Pei family had done, Mu Qingyu had already told Pei Ji about the trouble the Sixth Prince had made. She didn't want Pei Ji to worry and be worried about her, but she couldn't keep everything from Pei Ji, otherwise he would
When something happens, a person who is kept in the dark will make mistakes in his judgment.
He smiled and said: "They want to stay temporarily in Weiwuhou Mansion. After all, they are of the same clan, so naturally they are allowed to stay."
"I heard that these people haven't been out for so long?"
"That's true!" Pei Ji said with some embarrassment: "Sir, you know that in our Weiwu Marquis Mansion, due to Pei's disabled body in his early years, he was unable to walk and his health gradually deteriorated, so he neglected the management of the house.
The yard was all in ruins. The steps on the terrace were green, the grass was green on the curtains, the vines were on the curtains, and the ground was covered with dust. The servants of the Pei Mansion couldn't clean it. No, they came, and when they saw this situation, they took the initiative to help clean it up.
Once everything is cleaned up, how can we get out of the house?"
"As far as I know, they are being detained by you, and you don't know whether they are alive or dead!" Ji Yu stopped speaking in an official tone.
If Pei Ji were a mighty prince, he would certainly be polite, but Pei Ji was not. At best, he would just call him the head of the Pei family. Therefore, Ji Yu could not be said to be polite to him.
When Pei Ji heard this, he couldn't help laughing and said: "Detained? Don't know whether he is alive or dead? Are you kidding me?" He raised his voice and said: "Come here!"
The old servant Zhou Chen had just finished serving tea and was behind Pei Ji. He immediately responded: "Here!"
Pei Ji said: "Go and invite the masters and young masters from the same clan to come over!"
Zhou Shen said: "Yes!"
Pei Ji smiled at Ji Yu and said, "Hearing is false, seeing is believing. Lord Ji, why not ask them personally!"
Ji Yu thought to himself that it was okay. Chu Chengyu was still in the prison. He was thinking about more than 20 lives and it was so important that he made this trip. If no lives were lost, everyone would live well.
Then why should he bother?
He opened the tea bowl and drank tea.
The tea was not very good, but it was brewed just right and felt good in the mouth. He took two sips and stopped moving.
Pei Ji always smiled and didn't care about Ji Yu's previous questioning. He was humble and polite without any slights.
After a while, footsteps sounded at the door of the hall, and Pei Wenlang and more than 20 people walked into the hall one after another.
Fortunately, this hall is big enough. Even though there are more than twenty people, it doesn't seem crowded.
Pei Wenlang cupped his hands and said, "Master, are you calling us?"
Pei Ji sat on the main seat, glanced at all the members of the Pei family, and said in a calm voice: "This is Mr. Jingzhao Yinji. I heard that you are coming from your hometown, but you have not left the house these days. I am afraid that you are no longer alive.
So I asked you to come over and ask questions!"
Jiyu: "..."
Why does this sound weird?
As early as when this group of people came in, he quietly took a look at them. There were more than twenty of them. They all seemed to obey the rules and were very respectful to Pei Ji.
Members of the same clan should be respectful when meeting the head of the family. There is nothing wrong with that.
Ji Yu said: "You have been in Beijing for a while, and you have been living in Pei Mansion, but you don't go out. Why?"
Pei Wenlang said: "Sir, we are embarrassed to live and eat in Hou's Mansion for free. Seeing that some of the yards in Hou's Mansion were deserted, we helped clean them up. We have food and shelter in Hou's Mansion, so we don't need to go out!"
p>
"Seriously?" Ji Yu pointed at the youngest of the Pei family's concubine, Pei Jinhai's youngest son Pei Shihe.
The concubine branch of the Pei family also followed the example of the main branch. The legitimate sons were all named in the order of Shi, and the concubine sons were not qualified to use the word Shi.
Pei Shihe was only fourteen years old. Ji Yu thought to himself that younger people are not so thoughtful and must be telling the truth. As for Pei Wenlang, his eyes were rolling around when he spoke. He didn't believe it!
p>
Pei Shihe swallowed his saliva and seemed a little scared.
Ji Yu kept his expression gentle and said: "Don't be afraid, I am here and will make the decision for you!"
Pei Shihe said: "We are helping. The uncle of the family takes care of our food and housing. Dad said that a person must repay kindness!"
Jiyu: "..."
God’s kindness is repaid.
Don't think that he doesn't know about the trouble between the Sixth Prince and the Pei family's concubine.
When the Sixth Prince's Mansion sent someone to Jing Zhaoyin to say hello, Ji Yu, an elite official in the officialdom, immediately sent someone to inquire. After inquiring, it turned out that the people from the Pei family's concubine branch were sent by the Sixth Prince.
Came here.
Pei Ji did not allow the concubines of the Pei family to enter, so what happened at the gate was what happened.
After the Pei family members were rejected several times, the sixth prince personally brought them in.
Then, the six princes left, and the Pei family’s concubines stayed.
When Ji Yu heard the news from his confidants, the corner of his mouth twitched several times.
It was not a secret in the capital that the concubines of the Pei family got involved with Xiruan of the Weiwu Marquis and escaped, and betrayed Pei Ji and his son. Even if Ji Yu was not Jing Zhaoyin at that time, it did not mean that he did not know about it.
p>
Pei Ji, an old and disabled man with both legs broken, and Pei's concubine, a group of strong young people, are they not like locusts passing through the border?
When the family is in crisis, a group of concubines will run away with money and betray the main branch. Can you expect them to be good people?
Therefore, Ji Yu felt that Pei Ji might have suffered a greater loss.
However, there is only one person in Weiwuhou Mansion: Pei Ji. If Pei Ji dies, the lineage of Weiwuhou will be extinct. This matter must be reported to Yousi, and then the majestic mansion of Weiwuhou Mansion can be taken back.
