"Ha ha!"
Pei Honglanxu laughed and said, "Yes, Mr. Wang solved my big problem as soon as he took action."
His small eyes were almost narrowed into slits.
"Congratulations to the master first, congratulations to the master." Although Pei Shun didn't know what problem he had solved, he knew that saying a few auspicious words at this time would make his master even happier.
Sure enough, as soon as he finished speaking, smiles appeared on Pei Hong's face.
After laughing for a while, Pei Hong's face returned to calm, and then he said to Pei Shun: "Mr. Wang sent someone to send news about Liu Heng, a guerrilla on Datong East Road, saying that he has resigned and is now just a white businessman."
"Why don't you become a good official? How can he bear it?" Pei Shun looked puzzled.
Since ancient times, everyone has been vying to be an official. Although a guerrilla general is nothing in the capital, in the local area, he is definitely a local official.
Pei Hong picked up the bowl and found it was empty. He put it back on the table and said with a sneer: "The tiger-character flag has caused trouble. Liu Heng has to resign, otherwise he will lose his head."
"Ah! What's so serious?" Pei Shun looked surprised.
Pei Hong sneered: "Rebellion? Do you think it's serious or not?"
"What! He actually rebelled!" Pei Shun exclaimed, feeling his legs weak.
Rebellion was a major crime against the Nine Clan. He did not expect Liu Heng to be so courageous as to dare to rebel.
Pei Hong waved his hand and said: "If there is really a rebellion, the people who come will not be the people sent by Mr. Wang, but the army of the imperial court to suppress the rebellion."
"It turns out it's not really a rebellion!" Pei Shun's expression softened a little.
The tiger-character flag came from Datong, and Liu Heng was an official in Datong, not far from Yanghewei. When he first heard about the rebellion, he was really shocked.
Pei Hong said: "There are rumors in the capital that the tiger character flag is suspected of treason. In just a few days, it spread throughout the capital. Even today, people have heard this rumor. At this point, whether Liu Heng wants it or not, this official will It’s impossible to continue doing this.”
"In my opinion, this tiger-character flag is a group of rebels, and the imperial court should send a large army to destroy them." Pei Shun followed the words.
After hearing this, Pei Hong laughed and scolded: "How can it be child's play for the imperial court to mobilize an army? Only a servant like you who doesn't know shit can say such bastard words."
"Hey." Pei Shun scratched the back of his head after being scolded.
Being scolded does not mean that my master is really angry.
Pei Hong pointed to the tureen on the table and said, "The tea is gone. Let someone make a cup."
Pei Shun stepped forward, picked up the tureen on the table with both hands, called the servant, and handed the tureen to the servant to make tea.
After doing all this, he returned to Pei Hong.
"I have been coming to Datong with my master for so long. What I have heard the most is that the Tiger Flag has gold and silver. Now that Liu Heng is no longer a guerrilla general and has become a white man, this is the best opportunity to deal with him." Pei Shun whispered.
Pei Hong raised his eyelids and said, "So you have a way to deal with the Tiger Flag?"
There have long been rumors in Datong that Tiger Character Flag is as rich as the sky. He has been the censor for so many years, how can he not feel itchy to have such a piece of fat in front of him.
"I thought that the rumors of Tiger-Character Banner's rebellion had spread throughout the capital, which meant that it was true. Tiger-Character Banner must be secretly gathering strength to rebel. Sir, you can definitely raise your arms and eradicate this traitor for the imperial court. "As he said that, Pei Shun looked at Pei Hong.
After hearing this, Pei Hong stroked his beard and fell into deep thought.
Pei Shun stood aside respectfully, waiting for his master to make up his mind.
"You want me to use the rumors in the capital to accuse Hu Ziqi of treason." Pei Hong said thoughtfully.
Pei Shun said from the side: "Master, this is a good opportunity to deal with Liu Heng. Although the imperial court agreed to his resignation letter, it may not be suspicious of the tiger-character flag. When it comes to rebellion, they would rather kill the wrong person than let it go. The imperial court probably chose to let Liu Heng go temporarily because there was no evidence."
"But I don't have any evidence!" Pei Hong frowned.
Pei Shun smiled and said: "Master, if you say you have evidence, you will have it. How can he, a white businessman, resist? In addition, in official circles, everyone has always pushed back against the wall."
"I didn't expect that a long-term follower like you can give me advice now." Pei Hong looked at Pei Shun with his beard in his hand and said with a smile.
Pei Shun bowed slightly and said with a smile, "It's all thanks to your cultivation."
"Okay, I don't want to listen to your flattery. I just want to know, if you do it, how sure are you that you can accomplish this?" Pei Hong asked.
Pei Shun whispered: "Don't worry, sir. As long as you leave this matter to me, I promise that within a month, the Tiger Flag will definitely become yours."
"Haha, okay, I'll leave this matter to you. I only care about the results." Pei Honglanxu laughed.
No one knows how much Tiger Character Banner's wealth is, but he knows that as long as he gets one-tenth of Tiger Character Banner's wealth, it will be enough to support him as the chief envoy of a place in the future.
At this moment, a government servant came into the back office.
"I would like to inform you, Sir, that there is a man named Tian outside the Yamen who wants to see you."
"A person named Tian?" Pei Hong frowned and couldn't remember anyone with the surname Tian that he knew.
Pei Shun, who was standing aside, reminded in a low voice: "Master, could it be that the Tian family from Xuanfu sent someone here?"
"No." Pei Hong looked disgusted when he heard that he was from the Tian family in Xuanfu.
The Tian family's affairs were a mess, and sticking with them would only tarnish his reputation. He, who cherished his feathers, naturally didn't want to get involved in the Tian family's messy affairs.
The officer retired.
However, not long after, the Yamen servant returned to Hou Yamen.
"Sir, the man named Tian outside the Yamen won't leave. He insists on seeing you, master! He also said that he brought a wooden box with him, and he must take everything in the box with him when he leaves."
Pei Hong's face sank and he said: "What do you do for food? If he doesn't leave, then drive him away. If he doesn't leave, just go to the prison."
The good mood just now was completely wiped out after hearing the arrival of the Tian family.
He even regretted in his heart that he should not have accepted the money sent by the Tian family.
"Master, you might as well ask the young one to meet the people from the Tian family." Pei Shun suddenly said, "Maybe the young one can persuade them to leave."
Pei Hong hesitated for a moment and said, "Okay, you can go with the Yamen servant!"
The yamen servant took Pei Shun out of the yamen and went straight to the gate of the yamen.
"Steward Pei." Steward Tian, who was waiting outside the Yamen, saw Pei Shun and hurriedly came up to greet him.
Pei Shun took two steps forward, stood in front of Butler Tian, and said with a smile: "The official affairs in the yamen are really busy, and the master can't spare any time, so I, the long follower, have to come to see you, Butler Tian." .”
