The Prime Minister's residence.
Pei Ji was sitting in his room, listening to a tune. The maid beside him was massaging his shoulders.
His face was full of smiles.
In all of the Great Tang, who could live more comfortably than him?
As long as he clung to Li Yuan's thigh and did not do anything treasonous, he could lie on the credit for the rest of his life.
After all, back then, when Li Yuan raised his army, he had made great contributions.
This was something that no one could deny.
Of course, he knew that he couldn't compare with Xiao Yu and the others in governing the country, so he was happy to be idle.
He was listening to the song happily.
The door of the room was pushed open and the butler rushed in. He looked at Pei Ji and said,"Ah Lang, something bad has happened."
"Erlang has been captured and is now at the door.”
When Pei Ji heard the butler's words, his relaxed body sat up straight.
Although his second son, Pei Hao, was a playboy, he was also very strict with him. At least he knew that he could not afford to offend those people in Chang 'an and that he must not do those things.
Within this range, he could still protect Pei Hao.
But now, he had probably encountered a tough nut to crack. Not only did he know about Pei Hao, but he had also come to the Pei family.
Pei Ji was not in the mood to listen to the song anymore. He looked at the butler and said,"Do you know who this person is?"
The butler's expression was a little ugly. He said in a low voice,"Ah Lang, the people who came were all wearing civilian clothes, but this old servant saw that they looked like soldiers when they walked.”
"The person in the lead looks even more familiar.”
"Like, like…"
The butler hesitated for a long time.
Pei Ji slapped the butler's head and said,""Who does it look like? Tell me.”
The butler swallowed his saliva and said,"Ah Lang, that person looks like Eunuch Lin who came to the residence to deliver the imperial edict before. It's just that this time, he's not wearing the clothes of the internal servant supervisor."?”
"This old servant does not dare to confirm."
The people in the Imperial Palace were only separated from Chang 'an by a wall.
However, the butler didn't dare to say that he knew Eunuch Lin. Eunuch Lin was Li Yuan's internal supervisor. How could a butler come into contact with him?
Pei Ji heard this.
He knew that the butler was a cautious person and did not dare to confirm it, but it should be close.
Eunuch Lin was here.
Would Li Yuan be far away?
This brat had offended Li Yuan of all people.
That was the Emperor that he wanted to curry favor with.
When Pei Ji thought of this, he immediately jogged over. How could he dare to walk slowly at this moment? There were seven ranks of officials in front of the Prime Minister. What rank was next to the Emperor?
The Prime Minister's residence occupied a large area, and Pei Ji hurried towards the door.
Pei Hao had been safe and sound throughout the journey. Now that he had arrived at his doorstep, he seemed to suddenly have confidence, especially after seeing the servants of the Prime Minister's residence.
He looked even more imposing.
Pei Hao looked at the servants of the Prime Minister's residence and roared,""What are you guys still standing there for? Can't you see that I'm already tied up?”
"Hurry up and save me."
"If you wait a little longer, I'll make all of you scram.”
Pei Hao ordered.
A group of servants from the Prime Minister's Estate also gritted their teeth and rushed forward. They were all slaves and had no choice. Since their master had spoken, they had to fight even if they had to risk their lives.
According to the laws of the Great Tang, a life for a life.
However, killing a cheap slave in his own residence only required compensation of silver taels. Especially when the slave was guilty, there was no need to compensate.
Pei Hao watched as the servants surrounded him.
He also looked at Eunuch Lin and said,"You old thief, hurry up and let me go."”
"When my father comes out, I'll make sure you don't suffer.”
"My father is the current prime minister."
"My big brother is also the assistant minister of the Ministry of Revenue!"
Eunuch Lin's expression did not change.
If it was him, he really couldn't afford to offend them. However, with Li Yuan behind him, these people were nothing.
Eunuch Lin looked at the people around him and said,""Draw your swords. If anyone dares to attack…"
"Don't worry about killing them, but don't disturb the people.”
Eunuch Lin said.
Clang--
Clang--
Clang--
The Golden Guards drew their sabers from their waists. They looked at the servants around them, who had doubled in number, without fear. They were the Emperor's personal guards.
Phew--
A fast horse rushed over from the crowd.
Pei Yunfeng got off his horse and looked at the situation in front of him. He hurriedly ran over and said,"Sir, Pei Hao is still young and immature.”
"Please be magnanimous. My Pei Residence is willing to compensate you with silver.”
Pei Yunfeng's voice was heard before he arrived.
His footsteps were even more hurried.
He didn't know Eunuch Lin's identity, but looking at the situation in front of him and being surrounded by people in his residence, it was obvious that his background was extremely deep.
Pei Hao's heart skipped a beat when he heard Pei Yunfeng's words.
Eunuch Lin stopped in his tracks.
Pei Yunfeng also walked over. When he saw Eunuch Lin's face, the muscles on his face trembled and he was ready to beg for mercy.
"His Majesty has said that we should not expose his identity." Eunuch Lin said in a low voice.”
When Pei Yunfeng heard this, he was as frightened as a cicada in winter. He glared fiercely at Pei Hao in the distance.
Then, he led the way in front and looked at all the servants."Esteemed guests are here, hurry up and scram.”
The servants all retreated.
Pei Yunfeng said carefully,""Please come in."
As he spoke, he looked around, but he did not see Li Yuan. As the assistant minister of the Ministry of Revenue, he had to participate in the morning court, so he was very familiar with Li Yuan and Eunuch Lin.
After Eunuch Lin entered the Pei Residence.
Pei Ji hurried over.
When Pei Hao saw his father, he could not help but say,""Father, my arm hurts."
Pa--
Pei Ji didn't even look and directly slapped Pei Hao's face. Pei Hao only felt his head buzzing.
Eunuch Lin glanced at the Golden Guard, and the Golden Guard released his grip.
Pei Ji then looked at Eunuch Lin and said,""Eunuch Lin, I don't know where His Majesty is. My son has never seen His Majesty's face and has offended His Majesty.”
"This old man can also apologize to His Majesty on behalf of my son.”
Plop--
When Pei Hao heard Pei Ji's words, his legs went limp and he knelt on the ground.
Your Majesty!
The man in embroidered clothes was His Majesty.
Chu Youwei said that she wanted to enter the palace to select talents and serve the Emperor. Was that true?
He even said that Li Yuan was courting death?
Now, he was really courting death!
It was also at this moment that a Golden Guard rushed in from outside and reported to Eunuch Lin,""Eunuch Lin, His Majesty has already rushed over to the Pei Residence.”
"I told you not to make a sound!"
Pei Hao's face was ashen.
"Eunuch Lin, what do you think we should do?" Pei Ji gulped.”
