"Sir, a man claiming to be from the Tian family of Xuanfu came to the yamen gate and asked to see you, sir." The officer bowed and stood at the door.
Pei Hong, who was sitting in the back office, raised his head, frowned, and said impatiently: "Drive them away. I don't have time to see them. Don't let anyone come in to report in the future."
Datong is only a few hundred miles away from Xuanfu.
Such a big thing as Tian Jia Tongnu has been spread for a long time. Even Pei Hong in Yanghewei heard about it.
Nowadays, whoever gets involved in the Tian family is unlucky, especially those in the officialdom, who might be accused of being slaves. So when he heard that people from the Tian family came to the door, Pei Hong didn't even see them and had them chased away.
The servant was scolded and knew that the elder was unhappy.
He excused himself and returned to the yamen gate.
"Hurry up and leave, I don't have time to see you." The officer began to scold people, and since he had just been scolded, his tone also became bad.
Naturally, Butler Tian refused to leave just like that.
The young master in the family was still in prison and just left. It would be difficult for the two young masters to be released from prison. Otherwise, they might be charged with beheading.
"Excuse me, brother, please go in and tell me. I really have something urgent and need to see the censor, the censor." Butler Tian begged.
For the sake of the Tian family, he had to see Pei Hong.
The officer frowned and said impatiently: "Don't you understand? If the master doesn't see you, leave immediately, or else I will put you in jail."
"Brother, please work hard again, thank you for your hard work." Steward Tian took out a piece of broken silver again and handed it to the servant in front of him.
The servant did not take the money this time.
When he was in the back office before, he could feel that the elder became unhappy as soon as he heard about the Tian family in Xuanfu. Going in to complain at this time was just to scold him.
When Butler Tian saw that his silver was not given away, he thought it was because the other party disliked it because it was too little. He immediately took out another piece of broken silver, put it together, and stuffed it into the hands of the servant again.
The servant hesitated for a while, but finally accepted the money.
"You wait here." After saying that, the officer entered the Yamen again.
Butler Tian looked at the back of the leaving officer and prayed in his heart that Pei Hong could see him.
Not long after, the officer came out of the Yamen.
This time, his face was very ugly, and he said coldly to Butler Tian: "Don't waste your efforts, the eldest master will not see you, so hurry up and leave!"
In fact, he did not go to the back office to see Pei Hong. He just walked around the office for the sake of money.
"This..." Butler Tian looked bitter.
Without Pei Hong, he didn't know who could save the two young masters of Tian Sheng's Lantian family.
The officer looked at Butler Tian, whose eyes were dull in front of him, and said unbearably: "I would like to advise you, don't waste your time here. The eldest master will be very unhappy when he hears that you are from the Tian family of Xuanfu, so you Even if you stay here, I won’t see you.”
For the sake of money, he revealed the truth.
After hearing these words, Butler Tian finally understood why Pei Hong didn't want to see him.
As the former officer of the Yamen said, it was useless for him to stay.
It was obvious that Pei Hong already knew about the Tian family's affairs and was unwilling to get involved in the Tian family's troubles, so he began to avoid the Tian family's people.
In desperation, he had no choice but to go back and find other ways to save the two young masters.
At this time, Pei Hong's eldest son, Pei Shun, came from a distance.
Pei Shun went to Tian's house and met Butler Tian.
As soon as he saw Butler Tian, he immediately came up to him and said with a smile, "Hey, isn't this Butler Tian?"
Butler Tian's eyes lit up after seeing Pei Shun.
He thought that with Pei Shun here, he might have a chance to go in and see Pei Hong.
"It turns out to be Butler Pei." Butler Tian bowed to Pei Shun.
Pei Shun looked at Butler Tian who was standing beside the carriage and asked, "Butler Tian, are you going back?"
"To tell you the truth, I originally wanted to see the Grand Master, the Censor, but unfortunately the Grand Master is busy with official duties and doesn't want to see me. I have no choice but to go back first and come back to visit when the Grand Master is free." Butler Tian He shook his head and smiled bitterly.
Pei Shun nodded thoughtfully and said: "Given the current situation of your Tian family, it is normal for our master not to see you. Forget it, go back!"
After listening to Pei Shun's words, Butler Tian became more and more sure of the reason why Pei Hong didn't see him.
However, now that Pei Shun is here, he will naturally not be willing to give it a try.
Immediately, he said: "I am indeed in an emergency when I come to see the Censor, the Censor. I would like to ask Butler Pei to make it convenient for me to see you next time."
As he spoke, he put a cloth bag filled with broken silver into Pei Shun's hand.
The broken silver inside adds up to several taels.
Pei Shun squeezed the bag and then handed it back to Butler Tian. At the same time, he said, "I really can't help you with this, especially with your Tian family. You should know how my master can meet your Tian family at this time." .”
"Whether or not I can see the Censor, please accept this money, Butler Pei." Butler Tian pushed the money back again.
Pei Shun hesitated for a moment, but finally put the money into his arms.
When Butler Tian saw Pei Shun accepting the money, he added, "I'm here to see the Grand Master, the Censor. The carriage brought some specialties of the Xuanfu. I'd like to ask Butler Pei to give them to the Grand Master."
Pei Shun had just accepted the money from the other party and could no longer refuse, so he said: "Since Butler Tian has this intention, I will accept the Tian family's intention for our master."
He didn't think there was much problem in accepting the other person's things.
Butler Tian's face showed joy, he held Pei Shun with one hand and said at the same time: "Butler Pei, please come with me to the carriage to see this specialty."
The two people came to the carriage.
Pei Shun did not enter the carriage, but stood outside the carriage.
Steward Tian bent down and got into the carriage alone. He reached out and opened the lid of the wooden box in the carriage, revealing a ingot of silver.
hiss!
Pei Shun took a breath.
In all the years he has been with his master, this is the first time he has seen so much money piled together like a hill.
"What do Butler Pei think of this Xuanfu specialty?" Butler Tian grabbed a piece of silver from the box and weighed it in his hands.
"Very good." Pei Shun's Adam's apple moved subconsciously.
Butler Tian smiled and said, "Butler Pei, please do your best to move this box of specialties in."
"Easy to say, easy to say." Pei Shun swallowed and nodded repeatedly.
After he finished speaking, he turned around and looked at the servant at the yamen gate, shouting: "Come here, two people."
The officer guarding the yamen gate hurried over.
At this time, Butler Tian had already closed the lid of the wooden box again.
Pei Hong pointed to the wooden box in the carriage and said: "You guys take down the wooden box from the carriage and come with me to see the great master."
