Chapter 113 The centipede is dead but not stiff
Not to mention that the centipede is dead but not stiff, but just talking about the treacherous waves and clouds in the court, what variables will arise if there is no guarantee.
The biggest insurance is that he holds Pei Sanlang firmly in his hands and keeps prying out some useful information from Pei Sanlang.
In this way, he and the fifth prince can be sure that nothing will go wrong.
Xiao Ruoyun thought secretly, and his expression became more serious.
"Today in that government office, I am really miserable!"
Pei Yi looked at Xiao Ruoyun pitifully, and complained rather pitifully, "The guards in my house sued County Magistrate Li for insulting the nobles, but in the end, Prefect Feng threatened me in front of everyone, telling me not to speak falsely."
"Where am I talking nonsense? Isn't it true that County Magistrate Li blackmailed me?"
"Of course it's true." Xiao Ruoyun made up her mind, and her attitude became softer and flattering.
He originally wanted to hold Pei Yi's hand, who would have thought that this person's hand was covered by the quilt, so he wouldn't be able to grab his hand specially.
But in such a warm and affectionate atmosphere, if he can't have some skin-to-skin contact with Pei Sanlang, he will always feel a little bit lacking.
Therefore, Xiao Ruoyun took the next best thing, and gently placed his hand on Pei Sanlang's back wrapped in the quilt.
He comforted him softly: "Sanlang don't be angry, then Li County Magistrate and Feng Taishou are both stupid and not clear-headed - it's not worth getting angry for such people."
"But I'm just angry!"
Pei Yi looked bitter and bitter.
She half propped herself up, and said with grief and indignation, "Why is County Magistrate Li so arrogant?"
"I am stipulating in the law that it is a crime to bully nobles!"
"It is a fact that County Magistrate Li blackmailed and insulted me, why can he be so arrogant and refuse to admit it?"
"Could it be... as Magistrate Li said, this Linhe County is his world - even if the sons and grandsons of the dragon come, they still have to prostrate at his feet?"
Xiao Ruoyun's face was tense at first, but when he heard this, he changed greatly.
His expression became serious, his eyes became cold, and he asked in a low voice: "Magistrate Li really said such things?"
Pei Yi nodded with a look of wanting to cry, and said half-truthfully: "The Li county magistrate is lawless and lawless. I wanted to suppress him as the prime minister's third son, but he didn't care at all."
"Magistrate Li told me that I have provoked the Bai family in Kyoto."
"He said, even Bai Jialiulang has to curry favor with him in Linhe County, so who am I?"
"He also said that in Linhe County, he is the one who speaks."
"He also said..."
Pei Yi stopped abruptly at this point, looking angry but hard to say.
Xiao Ruoyun's complexion was already very bad, he gritted his teeth and asked coldly: "What else did he say?"
Pei Yi sniffed, looking as if she was about to cry, and said humiliatingly: "Magistrate Li also said that a strong dragon can't overwhelm a local snake, even if...the prince comes, you still have to rely on him to do things."
"Presumptuous!" Xiao Ruoyun was furious.
A small county magistrate of Linhe doesn't even pay attention to the heir of the Tian family!
He saw that County Magistrate Li was getting impatient.
Seeing that the other party's anger had already started to ignite, Pei Yi hurriedly struck while the iron was hot and added fuel to the fire.
"Yunlang, when I saw Prefect Feng and County Magistrate Li bullying me together, I was thinking, who gave them such a big reliance, and made them so lawless—even the nobles of the capital didn't pay attention to them. Even the heir of the Heavenly Family dares to insult him."
"How can people like Li County Magistrate and Feng Taishou deserve to sit in such a position?"
"His Royal Highness the fifth prince is benevolent and generous today, can he let such a villain have a vegetarian meal?"
Xiao Ruoyun was furious, but originally he wanted to punish Li County Magistrate and his party. After hearing Pei Yi's words, his thoughts suddenly became more active.
His Royal Highness the Fifth Prince only has power in the capital, but he is very weak locally.
This time, if Pei Yi can follow the hand of Li County Magistrate and Feng Taishou to step down, and they take advantage of the situation to put their own people in such positions, wouldn't His Royal Highness the Fifth Prince be like a tiger with wings added?
Xiao Ruoyun thought of this, and Pei Jiasanlang became more pleasing to the eye.
His tone became more gentle, his attitude became more and more kind, and his words were full of comfort.
"Third Master, don't get angry."
"The anger hurts the body."
"The county magistrate Li and the prefect Feng will kill themselves for their many unrighteous actions."
Pei Yi sneered when she heard this, she continued to add embellishment and said calmly: "I just can't swallow this breath!"
"Yunlang, I might as well tell you the truth."
"If I don't bring down Prefect Feng and County Magistrate Li this time, I won't be able to vent my anger!"
"The moment I walked out of the county office, I swore that if these two villains were not made to pay their due price, I, Pei Yi, would write my name upside down!"
"During my lifetime, if I don't make them admit their mistakes and step down, I will never end with them!"
These words are really naive.
Exactly like an angry young man who wants to fight desperately with someone.
Xiao Ruoyun ridiculed Pei Sanlang in his heart for being childish and easy to take advantage of, while secretly feeling that Pei Sanlang was so cute and easy to bully.
He comforted in a gentle voice: "Sanlang don't want to get angry."
"How could I just sit back and ignore you being insulted like this this time?"
"Don't worry, just let go and do whatever you want."
"I will support you."
Pei Yi would not let this person just make a verbal promise, she seduced calmly: "How does Yunlang plan to help me?"
"To be honest, I plan to sue County Magistrate Li and his group to the capital!"
Xiao Ruoyun's heart jumped twice when he heard this.
A bold idea suddenly emerged from the bottom of his heart.
Xiao Ruoyun heard her heart beat faster.
He couldn't hide his excitement and asked: "How do you plan to sue Li County Magistrate and Feng Taishou? These two are imperial court officials, and the foundation cannot be shaken by insulting the nobles."
Pei Yi thought to herself that this person surnamed Xiao was really interesting. She already had the answer in her heart, but she still wanted to lead him to say those things that offended others.
But it doesn't matter, anyway, the road has been paved, as long as the fifth prince and his gang are willing to go.
Pei Yi was clear in her heart, but she said with an angry look on her face: "I sue County Magistrate Li and Prefect Feng for corruption!"
Xiao Ruoyun's face moved slightly.
Although he agreed in his heart, he asked with some concern on his face: "The crime of embezzlement is not a small one—Saburo, do you have enough evidence?"
Pei Yi shook her head dejectedly, and said very aggrieved: "I'm still being looked for."
