Chapter 419: Home like an arrow

Chapter 419 Returning Heart Like an Arrow

The court is also suffocatingly oppressive, like a sharp sword hanging above everyone's head.

The old emperor issued several orders in succession—all to deal with the rebels.

The ministers were trembling, not daring to take a breath.

But even in this atmosphere, someone still stood up and boldly said: "Your Majesty, I have an announcement. The county magistrate Pei Yi of Wanshou County did not manage properly, and the supervision failed. Twenty thousand rebels are practicing in Wanshou County. Pei County Magistrate I didn't realize it. The rebels passed through Wanshou County. The county magistrate Pei not only let the rebels pass, but also handed over the treasury key to provide military funds for the rebels. The magistrate Pei has no integrity and cannot be loyal to the emperor. Please punish the crime! "

The elegant bird in the court was silent.

Who doesn't know that Prime Minister Pei Shu put down this rebellion?

The Pei family is now a great hero.

At this juncture, who would dare to come out and touch the Pei family?

Pei Yi, the magistrate of Wanshou County, is the third son of Prime Minister Pei Shu. If he sues Pei Yi now, isn't that a slap in the face of Pei Shu?

Everyone was in a delicate mood and looked different.

Someone secretly complained about whether the stunned young man who complained had his brain kicked by a donkey.

A few people looked at their colleagues calmly, thinking that this might be a stupid move by some of Pei Xiangguo's political opponents.

But most of them are speculating that this may be ordered by His Majesty—His Majesty does not trust the Pei family. Even if the Pei family has such great merits as escorting, His Majesty still wants to pick on the Pei family's thorns in order to beat the Pei family. After all, now that Pei Xiangguo is in the limelight, no one except His Majesty would dare to make fun of the Pei family.

Huo Yuan was also in the court, and after countless thoughts came into his mind, he stepped forward and said solemnly: "Father, my son was ordered to inspect Wanshou County. The rebels are cunning, and my son has never discovered that Wanshou County has raised There are private soldiers."

Everyone secretly thought that the words of the third prince had blocked everyone - if it was a crime for not discovering the rebels, then the third prince was also guilty. But who dares to punish the Third Prince? Therefore, it is not a crime not to discover the rebels, and the county magistrate Pei cannot be convicted for this.

The third prince continued to speak: "When the county government was besieged, my ministers were also on the spot."

"In order to protect the safety of one side of the people, the county magistrate Pei refused to hand over the keys to the treasury."

"But the leader of the rebel army threatened the lives of all the servants, so the county magistrate Pei had no choice but to hand over the key."

"The county magistrate Pei blamed himself so much that he wanted to hit the wall to do his best on the spot. Fortunately, the guards stopped him and did not lead to tragedy."

Everyone was dumbfounded, they didn't expect that Pei Jiasaburo, who had been rumored to be cowardly and wretched, would have such courage.

Pei Shu also opened his eyes slightly, then lowered his head and raised his lips—the upward arc was small and fleeting, too fast for people to catch.

"This time, the minister was able to return to the capital to report the letter, thanks to the help of County Magistrate Pei."

"Without the county magistrate Pei trying to hold back the rebels in the county government, the ministers would not be able to leave the county government, let alone return to the capital."

Huo Yuan said in a deep voice: "Just after the catastrophe, the minister who was loyal to me was impeached and slandered, wouldn't it be chilling?"

Pei Shu's majestic expression made it impossible to see his emotions. He glanced at the third prince inscrutablely, and pursed his lips without saying a word.

The old emperor's face was deep, and he said: "The magistrate of Pei County is loyal to the emperor and keeps his chastity. He is a hero and capable minister of our Great Zhou Dynasty. Meritorious officials cannot be slandered, and capable ministers cannot be buried."

Huo Yuan understood that what the father meant was to give Pei Yi a promotion, but now that the incident happened suddenly, the specific reward had to be discussed.

The ministers shouted that Your Majesty is wise, how dare they say nothing about Pei Yi?

Prime Minister Pei Shu glanced at all the courtiers, and then calmly said: "Although what Hu Yushi said just now is not entirely true, but there is something strange about it. Twenty thousand troops are raised in Wanshou County, why is there any noise? No? County Magistrate Pei only took office in June this year, so it is understandable that she doesn't know the local situation, but the previous county magistrate didn't know anything about it, so how should this be explained?"

Everyone's expressions changed slightly, some gloated, and some broke out in cold sweat.

This is the time to settle accounts after autumn.

Someone secretly became annoyed, why did that stunned young man provoke the Pei family? ! Originally, the emperor had a tendency to pardon a little. But Lengtouqing wanted to sue Pei Yi. Pei Xiangguo was the one who defended his weaknesses the most, so he naturally wanted to vent his anger for his son. In this way, he would have to investigate strictly to the end, and the fifth prince's party would definitely be uprooted.

There were so many ups and downs in the court hall for several days, which made people feel uneasy.

But outside the court, it was another scene.

Qisha deliberately stayed in Beijing for a few more days, just to get some more useful information. After that, he couldn't stay any longer, took the initiative to resign from Prime Minister Pei Shu, and happily rode back to Wanshou County on horseback.

He returned to his heart like an arrow, and his speed was naturally as fast as flying.

After driving for a day and a night, the horses were tired, but he was full of energy.

When he arrived at the gate of the government office, Qi Sha got off his horse, didn't even care about settling down the horse, and handed it over to the yamen servant to deal with it, while he walked briskly to find his family, Saburo.

"Sanlang~"

Qi Sha went to the study and saw the person he was thinking of, just like Ruyan throwing himself into the forest, wishing he could run over and hug him.

But he always kept in mind that Saburo said that big things should be the most important thing now, so he forcibly suppressed the urge to kiss and hug, and immediately knelt down on one knee, beaming and saying: "No blame, luck, and mission!"

The two haven't seen each other for many days, Pei Yi also has an indescribable longing in her heart. She stood up from behind the desk, quickly walked over to help Qi Sha up, and said happily: "You did a good job!"

Seven kills are affirmed by the sweetheart, that is a proud and proud person, and the chest is raised unconsciously, and the whole person's spirit is better.

Pei Yi was concerned about Qi Sha's body, and immediately asked someone to sit down and take a pulse check.

Qisha felt warm in his heart, and thought sweetly: In Sanlang's heart, I am more important than national affairs~ Sanlang didn't even ask about the situation in Kyoto, the first thing he did was to show me his body~ I am really in Sanlang's heart very important~

Pei Yi's complexion gradually sank, and she asked in an obviously displeased voice, "Have you not taken your medicine these days?"

Qisha Feiyang's expression froze.

He knew that Saburo was worried about him, and he also knew that he had let Saburo down.

He defended resentfully in a low voice: "I'm almost on the road these days. If I can't make medicine, I can't take medicine."

Seeing his pitiful, careful look, Pei Yi's heart softened.

She said guiltily: "I didn't think carefully. You are either escorting the third prince on the road, or you are running around for him. There is no time or place to cook medicine. In the future, I will make some pills for preparation." , so that it is convenient for you to travel and take medicine. However, the efficacy of pills is still not as good as freshly decocted medicine."

Qi Sha was so sweet in his heart, and said obediently and politely: "Then don't need pills. I will bring a small pot with me when I travel far in the future. Even in the wilderness, I can decoct medicine and eat it."
