Pei Taijun has also heard about the bandits who frequently commit evil in the southwest of Kyoto. With her vision and experience, she can naturally taste the conspiracy behind this matter. The old man does not want to see innocent people being massacred by bandits, so he is not interested in the people in charge now.

Wang Pingzhang, the powerful leftist military commander in the Xifu, was quite critical. If Pei Zhen was still alive, the situation would certainly not have deteriorated to this extent.

However, when Pei Yue revealed what happened last night, Taijun Pei was furious and sadly discovered that this group of heartless bandits was very likely to be related to his son.

Who is her son?

First, he is the eldest son of Duke Ding Pei Zhen, the heir to the title of the Pei family, and the head of Duke Ding's mansion.

These names are of course an honor, and they are what Pei Rong usually relies on for his transcendent status in the circle of nobles. They are also an unshirkable responsibility, which means that he has to work hard to maintain the glory and pride of his ancestors. In the past years, he was in a state of affairs and wasted his time and money.

It's not a big problem. As long as you work hard on the two words of loyalty and filial piety, you can barely fulfill your duties as the head of the Pei family.

Pei Rong was indeed impeccable in his filial piety, and no one in the capital could criticize him in this regard.

As for being loyal to the emperor, he had made no mistakes in the past. He had never said anything stupid to slander the emperor. As for leading troops to fight and be loyal to the country, no one from His Majesty the Emperor to Wang Pingzhang wanted to see him really do that.

However, when Pei Rong got involved with a group of thieves who massacred the people of Liang, the nature of the matter changed.

Speaking more broadly, these people who are causing chaos near Kyoto are no different from rebels. However, Pei Rong, as the head of the most wealthy family in the Liang Army, is actually connected with the rebels. What does he want to do?

There is no room for people to think deeply about things in this world, especially such extremely sensitive matters.

This really made His Majesty the Emperor suspicious. Not to mention that Pei Rong couldn't save his head, even Dingguo's palace would be in disaster in an instant.

No matter how outstanding your achievements are, if you are associated with the words "treason and rebellion", you will definitely not end well.

Pei Taijun stared at Pei Rong incomprehensibly, the disappointment on his face was beyond words.

Pei Rong was a little panicked by his mother's unfamiliar eyes, and quickly defended: "Mother, my son just wants to ask Mr. Xi some stories from back then. He had no idea that things would be such a coincidence."

Pei Taijun asked with complicated emotions: "Really?"

Pei Rong said seriously: "It's absolutely true!"

Taijun Pei was not that easy to fool. He frowned and asked, "Then why did you let Pei Yongnian lie, and even use your father's relics to deceive people? Damn it, are you so filial?"

Pei Rong's face flushed, and then he said angrily: "Mother, Mr. Xi has always looked down on his son. When his father was here, he ignored him. If not, why would his son use those means to invite him in?

Come to Beijing."

He paused and called out to Qu again: "Mother, you should know that this rebellious son has been in the house for thirteen years. Although he has gone through some hardships, it was for his own good. If I really want to do something to him, why wait until now?"

, but he is connected with some bandit. After all these years, don’t I have a chance?"

After all, Pei Taijun was a housewife, and she had her eldest son in front of her. Coupled with her fear of the Tian family, she subconsciously did not believe that Pei Rong was really colluding with the bandits.

After hearing this excuse, Pei Taijun turned to look at Pei Yue and sighed: "Good boy, I know you feel uncomfortable. Such a little person has not been able to enjoy a peaceful life for a few days. It was not easy to move to the village and have some leisure time.

I've met these damn thieves again in a few months. But brother Yue, although I'm not up to par, I definitely can't do such crazy things. Let's do this, I'll help you make up for the banker's losses.

All the expenses will come from me, and I will give you two more front-end shops, so that you can make a stable living in the future. Don’t worry about anything, these are all my property and have nothing to do with anyone else, do you understand?"

Pei Yue neither agreed nor refused. He only asked seriously: "Old ancestor, I have a few more words to ask Uncle Dingyuan. Please give me this opportunity."

Pei Taijun looked at the perseverance in Pei Yue's eyebrows and looked at Mr. Xi's sympathy and pity for the child. He knew that his persuasion was ineffective, so he said with complicated emotions: "Ask me, you must explain this matter."

clear."

Pei Yue bowed, then turned towards Pei Rong, straightened his body and said: "I don't understand where your hatred for me comes from. From the time I can remember, I have always been cautious, always humble, and dare not do anything that exceeds the rules.

But I know why I can live to the age of thirteen in this house, because you, like Mr. Li, only dare to use some despicable means to torture me, but do not dare to really kill me! In this house, except for someone

In addition to the secret agents of Taishitai Pavilion, there is also a pair of wise eyes of our ancestors watching, how dare you do such a thing?"

Before Pei Rong could blow his beard and lose his temper, Pei Yue continued to say calmly: "My ancestors ordered me to leave the house to live elsewhere out of good intentions, and you thought this was an opportunity, because I died outside, and even more so while looting and killing many villages.

In the hands of the bandits, everything is so natural, no one can suspect you. But I want to ask you, the bandits have been active since spring, why has it been until now, when the troops from the Beijing camp have gradually surrounded you?

They suddenly sneaked hundreds of miles from the southwest and ran to an ordinary village in the east of the city to commit evil?"

Pei Rong sneered and said: "Those thieves appear and disappear, who knows what they are thinking?"

Pei Yue said calmly: "Well, even if they accidentally selected Luliu Village as their target, why didn't they come earlier and later, and why did they come when Mr. Xi was not around? My ancestors asked Mr. Xi to protect me.

, I didn’t tell anyone else about this, let alone tell you specifically. But Mr. Li’s nephew made trouble in the village, and after being taught a lesson by your husband, you had the idea of ​​transferring him away, and then there was a night raid by bandits.

Green Willow Village, is all this a coincidence? You deceived our ancestors with your sweet words, how can you still hide it from Tian Ri Zhaozhao?!"

Pei Rong stood up and walked to Pei Yue. Looking at this handsome and cold face, he gritted his teeth and scolded: "Don't confuse people here. I am your father. What if I really want to deal with you and kill you with a cane?"

Pei Yue looked at him without fear, and said coldly and disdainfully: "I am telling you this not to show your stupidity, but just to see if you have the courage to do it and admit it! Others say you are right

Our ancestors are extremely filial, but I don’t know, how can you be considered filial if you lie in front of my ancestors?”

Pei Rong was so angry that he laughed and said, "You have the nerve to talk about filial piety with me?"

Pei Yue stared into his eyes and said one sentence after another.

"If a king treats his ministers like his hands and feet, then his ministers will regard him as his heart."

"If a king treats his ministers like dogs and horses, then his ministers will regard him as a countryman."

"If a king treats his ministers like dirt, then his ministers will regard him as a bandit."

Every sentence was like a yellow bell, beating on the hearts of everyone in the hall. The thirteen-year-old boy had a sad look on his face, but he stood upright with his head held high stubbornly. His clear voice echoed in the room, with a chilling and decisive voice.

Anger rose to the sky.

Pei Taijun's face was extremely complicated at this moment. He seemed a little proud and a little sad. Finally, he couldn't help but trembled his lips and said angrily: "Rong'er, kneel down!"

Wen Yu looked at the young man's slender profile, biting her lips tightly, and pinched her palms with both hands.

Mr. Xi carefully thought about the profound meaning of these three sentences, and could only sigh in his heart that Pei Yue could no longer ignore the idea of ​​being a young man.

Pei Rong's face gradually turned pale. After Pei Yue's three words full of sadness and sadness, he did have a flash of hesitation in his heart. Did he really do something wrong? But when he thought about the great future that had been lost in the past, he joined the army.

The powerful general was reduced to a mascot-like playboy, and all his ambitions were in vain. The resentment that had been biting his heart repeatedly for ten years made his heart harden, and he increasingly felt that the young man in front of him was the source of all problems.

It was him who caused himself to end up like this.

It was true ten years ago, and it will be true ten years from now!

Pei Yue looked at Pei Rong, whose expression kept changing and finally became indifferent. He was finally completely disappointed and said in a deep voice: "Sir, you taught me criminal law. It is a grave crime to accuse a father of a son. But I have no fault, yet you murder the son of a father."

, isn’t this completely unconscionable?”

"Last night, one of the bandits confessed that you were not only connected with them, but also sent people to send food and grass into the mountains to use as military supplies for them. I would like to ask you, if the Holy Spirit knew about this, how many people would you have?

Is your head enough to chop off?”

"Since you want to kill me, then I have no other choice. One life is for another. If I die, you won't be able to live!"

After saying this, he ignored Pei Rong who looked slightly frightened, turned around and bowed to Pei Taijun: "Old ancestor, my grandson is unfilial and cannot serve you with filial piety. That's why I don't care about the relationship between father and son.

It’s going to kill me, I have no choice!”

After that, he said to Mr. Xi: "Sir, could you please escort me to the imperial city."

Before Mr. Xi got up, Pei Taijun asked in a trembling voice: "Brother Yue, stop there. What are you going to do there?"
