Chapter 218 The backyard cannot be entered casually
Pei Yi was overwhelmed with hearing.
There is no mention of General Xun in the book.
She walked over and asked: "You just said that Bai Situ slandered General Xun for treason. Where did you hear the news?"
The servants were chatting vigorously, never thought that their little master would come.
They hurriedly bowed and saluted: "I have seen the third master."
Then, someone said respectfully and fearfully: "Third Master, after the younger one came home yesterday, the mother-in-law at home suddenly mentioned this matter. She heard it from Mrs. Zhang in the village, and everyone is talking about it."
Another servant said: "Third Master, I heard it from Xingsheng Restaurant. A few days ago, I went to Xingsheng Restaurant for a drink, and heard the people at the next table talking about General Xun. I heard what they said very clearly. Yes, just remember."
The rest of the servants also honestly told where they heard the news from.
Qisha lowered her eyes slightly, thoughtful.
Some sporadic fragments of clues were suddenly connected together, and a strange guess burst out in my heart.
Qi Sha's eyes were shocked, but he quickly recovered his calm, still silently following his third master as the most conscientious little guard.
"You all heard this news recently, haven't you heard of it before?" Pei Yi asked.
"No." The servants all shook their heads, "It seems that you only heard about it in the past few days?"
Pei Yi felt a little weird.
This kind of rumor suddenly came out, obviously someone behind it was creating momentum.
Who wants to harm the Bai family?
Who is this General Xun who tragically wiped out the nine ethnic groups?
Pei Yi couldn't stay here any longer, so she went out and rode back to Pei's mansion. She wanted to ask her father and brother about these things.
Pei Mansion.
Study
"Third Master, the uncle and the others are discussing things with the master in the room." The guard said respectfully, "Please wait here for a while, and the subordinates will go in and report for you."
As a result, before the guards entered the room, the people in the room chuckled and said, "Here's Sanskrit? Come in."
This is what her father said.
Pei Yi smiled slightly, picked up the hem of her clothes, walked up the stairs, and quickly entered the study.
As soon as he entered the room, he saw Dad standing in front of the desk, with the elder brother and the second elder brother standing on either side of him. The three of them seemed to be reading a letter.
"Father, eldest brother, second brother." Pei Yi greeted, and moved over curiously.
Pei Shu didn't stop her from watching, and asked her with a smile: "Do you see any tricks coming?"
This letter is to trace the source of the rumors about General Bai, and finally the source points to Kangpingfang, the gathering place of Flower Street and Willow Lane in Kyoto.
Even if Kangpingfang is located, but Kangpingfang is so big and there are so many brothels and small brothels, it may not be so easy to further find out where the rumors are spreading, right?
"Since we can lock in Kangpingfang, we can naturally lock in the corresponding brothels and small men's houses, and then go down and check carefully, and there will always be results." Pei Xuanting folded his arms on his chest and said with a big grin.
Pei Yi knew in her heart that although her second brother said it so easily, it was not so simple to operate.
Pei Shuren put the letter on the table and didn't take it away, so he leisurely asked, "Why are you looking for your father?"
"I also want to ask about the rumors." Pei Yi said in confusion, "Who is this General Xun who has wiped out the nine clans?"
He sighed silently, and said in a low voice: "It's a poor general."
"He is one of the three founding generals of our Great Zhou Dynasty."
Pei Yi's thoughts moved slightly.
Her father did not disclose the name of this person, but he made such a high-sounding statement when he spoke. I think this General Xun is quite appreciated by his father.
"However, in the battle of Khun Paen...he lost miserably."
"Da Zhou lost one hundred thousand soldiers and horses."
"In the middle of the court... someone sued General Xun for collaborating with the enemy and treason, which led to the disastrous defeat on the front line."
"Bai Situ was the censor of Taichung at that time, and he wrote a letter to declare General Xun's ten crimes."
"Your Majesty saw it... Long Yan was furious and ordered a thorough investigation."
"After that, General Xun was sentenced to beheaded all over the family, and it also affected the nine clans."
Pei Shu felt guilty and sad when he thought of this.
He couldn't save Xun Xin that day, nor could he save the lives of Xun Xin's family. He didn't even manage to save Xun Xin's child in the end.
He thought that the Xun family would lose their incense.
It can be seen that there are rumors everywhere in Beijing. Could it be that some descendants of the Xun family want to reverse the case for the Xun family?
Pei Shu couldn't help feeling excited.
If the Xun family really had blood, he would protect it no matter what.
"General Xun...it's too miserable." Pei Yi didn't know much about the operation of the court, but she was instinctively moved with compassion.
Pei Xuanting smiled sarcastically, and said in a deep voice: "If the losses are too heavy in the frontline battle, the dynasty may change. How can the general not take great responsibility?"
Pei Yi was thoughtful.
She asked what she wanted to ask, and she seemed to have nothing to say when she stayed in the room, so she proposed to leave.
Who would have thought that when she walked to the door, her father suddenly said, "Sanskrit."
Pei Yi was puzzled, turned around and waited for Father to say more.
Her father looked disgusted but extremely restrained, and said earnestly: "Our Pei residence is heavily guarded, even if someone wants to have fun, they can't just break in."
Pei Yi was slightly taken aback, and then her cheeks gradually turned red.
Her father was obviously criticizing Huo Yuan without specifying.
Sure enough, even though she guarded Huo Yuan's residence so carefully last night, her father and brother still knew about it, and as expected, they made up the indescribable things between her and Huo Yuan.
"Hmph!" Pei Xuanting put his arms around his chest, snorted heavily, and said contemptuously, "It's definitely not a good man who breaks into the boudoir late at night. Fanyin, if you meet this kind of man, don't indulge in it and think it's interesting , this kind of person is the most unreliable."
Pei Yi's cheeks were flushed, and she was very ashamed, but she couldn't refute anything.
Pei Xuanzong's face was gloomy, as if the clouds were so dense that it could rain immediately.
He said sullenly: "The dead of night is the time when people are most likely to be lonely. Some people pick their time really well, how can those 'little gentlemen' who have never seen the world stand it?"
Pei Yi heard that her father and brothers were talking more and more wrong, she blushed and argued with a bit of shame and indignation: "Don't worry, I still know how to write the word 'property', and I won't do anything out of line!"
Pei Xuanzong looked his sister up and down, and said earnestly: "Although our Pei family doesn't pay attention to reserve, but you are a...'little gentleman' after all, it's better to be a little more reserved."
Pei Yi's cheeks were so red that she was about to bleed, she said in shame, "I know!"
After saying this, she turned around and ran out of the study. How could she have the face to stay here and listen to her father and brother's "instructions"?
