Mountain People

"Alas!" Shen Ziping sighed helplessly, but he really didn't continue to worry and sat down, but his frown could tell his annoyance.

Shen Yuetong looked at Shen Ziping, thought about it, coughed twice, calmed down for a while before hesitating: "Father, there is something I didn't tell you just now, then... Duke Dingguo Uncle was sickened by his two unfilial sons, it seems to be quite serious."

But sorry."

Liang looked at Shen Ziping who said that wind is rain and didn't know what to say.

Shen Yuetong grabbed the person directly, "Dad, what are you in a hurry for! Now the emperor is calling people from the Dingguo Gong's mansion to enter the palace for questioning. People think that you are also an insider, so what if you are dragged in together? Maybe the Dingguo government wants you to be mixed in and intercede for them!

Dad, listen to my advice, according to my prince, this matter is **** from beginning to end! Their own affairs, we outsiders are mixed in, then it is really not people inside and outside, this Ding Guogong is your cousin, isn't the second room and the third room your cousin? Who are you going to help then? "

Shen Ziping didn't think so much at all, and now Shen Yuetong really stopped him, "This... This..."

Liang persuaded from the side: "I said that you are very old, and we girls can't understand it yet, this matter is the housework of the Pei family. But it's very deep, maybe there is something we don't know about, if you come to the door right now and get involved, and if you can't get it right, you will be blamed by them, so why bother!"

Under the dissuasion of Liang Shi and Shen Yuetong, Shen Ziping finally gave up the idea of ​​going to Dingguo Gongfu, but the worry in his heart was not a lot, so he could only send people to watch with some.

The **** that Dong Chenghu sent to Dingguo Gongfu to spread the word has arrived, Pei Zhong's confidence sank, and what should come will always come.

The **** looked at Pei Zhongxin and asked, "Where is Duke Ding? The emperor ordered Duke Ding to bring Pei Zhonghe and Pei Zhongren into the palace for questioning."

Pei Zhongxin's eyes flickered, and he said embarrassingly: "Father-in-law, my father is ill, and now he can't even get out of bed, and he really can't enter the palace. At this time, they are still lying on the bed, recovering from their injuries, but they can barely move around. Father-in-law, why don't you bring two younger brothers to the palace for your father?"

"This..." Father-in-law hesitated for a while, thinking about the situation of Pei Zhonghe and Pei Zhongren, so he reluctantly agreed.

The group entered the palace, the father-in-law went in and reported, and came out to signal Pei Zhongxin to lead people in.

Pei Zhongxin repeatedly warned Pei Zhonghe and Pei Zhongren, and then slowly entered the imperial study.

After entering, Pei Zhongxin found out that Pei Zhongjun and Pei Zhonglin were also in the imperial study. It seemed that the emperor knew everything.

Thinking of this, Pei Zhongxin couldn't help but sink. If the emperor didn't know about it, he could hide a part of it, or say something nice for Pei Zhong and Pei Zhongren.

"The minister Pei Zhongxin brought his younger brothers Pei Zhonghe and Pei Zhongren to see the emperor, the emperor is blessed and safe." Because Pei Zhongxin served in the Ministry of War, it was not a problem to call himself a minister in front of the emperor, but his official position was not Big, except for the New Year's Eve palace banquet, where you can enter the palace as the prince of Dingguo, there is usually no such opportunity.

Dong Chenghu had already asked Pei Zhongjun and Pei Zhonglin the cause and result of the matter, and now I look at Pei Zhongren and Pei Zhonghe behind Pei Zhongxin, those are eyes not eyes, nose not nose , is not pleasing to the eye no matter what.

Because Dong Chenghu was unhappy, the three Pei Zhongxin were also indifferent, and deliberately pondered for a while before letting them get up, "I heard that Duke Dingguo was ill, why didn't you pass on the imperial doctor?"

In Pei Dongqi's current identity, it is not a problem to find an imperial doctor, and you don't even need to go through Dong Chenghu.

Pei Zhongxin glanced at Pei Zhongjun and Pei Zhonglin out of the corner of his eye, and closed his eyes heavily, "Qi, Your Majesty, my father has a sudden hidden illness, and his condition is menacing, we can't wait for the imperial doctor to come, so we have to Please ask the doctor to come to the door first, now my father's condition has stabilized, as long as the good life will be raised, there will be no major problem."

Dong Chenghu didn't really care about Pei Dongqi's condition, just a couple of greetings. After listening to Pei Zhongxin's words, he stopped talking and said directly: "If that's the case, then Let's talk about what happened on the city wall this morning! Your two good cousins ​​turned themselves in in front of me early and recruited everything they did.

At first I was so angry when I heard what they were doing, I almost got beaten up, but later, I heard the reason for what they did, and I was angry. In my opinion, their punishment to Pei Zhong and Pei Zhongren is still lighter. "

"Your Majesty!" Pei Zhongxin immediately knelt down and pleaded for the two younger brothers: "I know that this matter is inappropriate for Zhonghe and Zhongren, please see the emperor as they have already suffered For the sake of punishment, let them go."

Don't you know the word "responsibility"?" Dong Chenghu angrily threw the book on the table.

Pei Zhonghe and Pei Zhongren were so frightened that their legs and feet softened, and they knelt down. Pei Zhongren begged for mercy in horror: "Your Majesty, spare your life! Your Majesty, spare your life! Caomin didn't do it on purpose, everything is a mother... Yes, Everything is my mother. She drugged the young lady Zuo Cheng and Shi Zhonglang and lied to our brothers. We didn't know that the two young ladies were the fiancées of Zhongjun and Zhonglin, and thought they were sent by their mother. To our concubine, this is..."

Pei Zhongxin's face was as pale as paper at this time. He didn't expect Pei Zhongren to be so stubborn. The emperor didn't ask anything, but he directly confessed Xu Shi to take the blame for him.

Dong Chenghu looked at Pei Zhongjun and Pei Zhonglin in shock, frowned and asked, "Is there such a thing?"

The brothers looked at Pei Zhongren indifferently and respectfully said to Dong Chenghu: "It is true, but whether Pei Zhonghe and Pei Zhongren are really ignorant, we both don't know. "

The hidden meaning of Pei Zhongjun's words is not to believe that Pei Zhongren and Pei Zhonghe are really innocent.

Pei Zhongren immediately became anxious when he heard it, and retorted: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Caomin really doesn't know, if we really knew the identities of the two young ladies in advance, we wouldn't enter the house without saying anything. ."

Pei Zhongren really didn't lie.
