"So what if I heard it? Now he holds military power, holds the emperor hostage, deceives the emperor, and makes the common people miserable.
How many people died in the flood in Quzhou and how much money was allocated? He said it was for the emperor to rebuild the ancestral hall, but I think he was lining his own pockets.
I looked at the fact that the Yan family was greedy for money, and the Pei family and his daughter were traitors to the country and collaborated with the enemy.
Good people don't live long, and disasters last for thousands of years. I just regret that he didn't follow me back then..."
Zhang Chang became more and more enthusiastic as he spoke, and many people around him looked over.
"Shut up, it's getting more and more limitless. How can you say this casually?"
The official beside him pinched his arm hard. If he continued talking, his life would be in danger.
At that time, more than 50 officials jointly submitted a letter to expose the corrupt officials of Yange, Zhongyong Hou Pei Jing and Major General Pei Zhihe as traitors to the country and collaborators with the enemy.
As a result, the entire Pei Yan family was slaughtered, blood flowed like rivers, and the whole family was brutal. Only in recent years have they been rehabilitated.
Wang Shangshu, whose house was confiscated a few days ago, was one of the officials who framed the Pei Yan family.
Who doesn't know that he is seeking revenge?
Saying such words in front of him really makes you think your life is too long.
Under the gaze of other officials, Zhang Chang became more and more arrogant and wanted to demote Pei Zhiyan into the dirt.
"Why can't you say it? If the castrated dog is not removed, my Daqing will never have peace.
He sent heavy troops to guard the city gate and didn't allow us to go out. Didn't he just want to trap us here?
The new emperor was dissolute and immoral, and he was close to eunuchs and distant and virtuous ministers. How could he live up to the entrustment of the first emperor? "
"Master Zhang is so loyal and courageous that our family admires him."
A cold voice came, and the expressions of the surrounding officials changed. They lowered their eyes and their air pressure dropped instantly.
"..."
Because of Zhang Chang's bold words just now, he arrogated himself in front of his colleagues.
Now when I see someone appear in front of me, I don't dare to retreat even though I'm scared, and I can't get off the tiger for a while.
"It seems that Mr. Zhang misses and respects the late emperor very much."
There was a smile in Pei Zhiyan's eyes, and his tone did not reveal any joy or anger, but it made him feel like he was taking a breath of spring breeze.
"That...that is inevitable. When the late emperor was alive, the world was peaceful and the seas and rivers were clear. He was the wise king in Zhang's heart."
Zhang Chang had no choice but to answer bravely. He had been an official in the same dynasty for five years, and he couldn't understand this person's emotions, and his heart was trembling when he answered.
"Since Mr. Zhang misses the late emperor so much, our family will send you to see him now so that you can be loyal to the emperor."
Pei Zhiyan smiled warmly, not like a treacherous eunuch, but like an elegant scholar.
The long sword was unsheathed, its sharp tip glowing with cold light.
"You...you dare, I am the official of the imperial court..."
Zhang Chang's words were cut off with his long sword, and blood spurted out like mist. He still had his eyes open before he died.
"Congratulations to Mr. Zhang."
Pei Zhiyan looked at the bloody sword blade and felt much relieved.
He thought that he had become merciful because he couldn't take action at night, but now it seems that he has not.
Blood dyed the floor tiles of Zhaodemen red, and the man standing next to Zhang Chang just fainted from fear.
In addition to lamentations all around, no one dared to stand up and say a word.
Pei Zhiyan left with his sword and walked all the way out of the palace.
After struggling for most of the night, it was already three o'clock in the morning when I woke up.
Yuanyuan sat up and covered her eyes with her small hands, feeling that her eyelids hurt terribly.
The broken table in the room has been cleared away and replaced with a nanmu one.
It was only after Wu Xian went to court that he learned that Zhang Yin had left the palace and left a message asking him to take good care of the child in the past few days.
"Where's the bad dad?"
Every time I wake up, I can't find where the others have gone.
"Zhang Yin is out of the palace on business, and it will take some time before he comes back."
Wu Xian carried her downstairs and handed her over to Caizhi who was guarding downstairs to freshen up.
"Thank God, it's still all done."
Cai Zhi murmured something while combing her hair.
It seems that even a cold-blooded and cruel person like Zang Yin can be soft-hearted sometimes.
Her eyes were swollen from crying. Yuanyuan felt uncomfortable and didn't want to go anywhere.
After dinner, she sat on the porch and watched Xiao Fuzi perform tricks for her.
Wu Xian would come over in the afternoon and night and wait for her to fall asleep, waiting outside the door.
I don’t know what is so special about this child that makes Palm Print treat him differently.
Even if you are lonely and want a child to accompany you to relieve your boredom, you should find someone smart and cute.
This child is yellow and thin. I heard that he howled all night yesterday. I don't know what's wrong with him.
On the second day, Yuanyuan's eyelids were less swollen and she felt much more lively.
She originally wanted to go to Concubine Jing's palace to eat pastries, but Admiral Wu did not allow Caizhi to take her out, so she had to give up.
It was getting dark, and she felt a little uneasy after not seeing Pei Zhiyan for two days in a row.
"When will the old man come back?"
Admiral Wu only replied that it was time for her, and then coaxed her to sleep quickly.
On the third day, Yuanyuan sat at the entrance of the palace, looking at the street outside with her little elbows on her face.
The front door was empty, and the palace people were all walking around.
"Girl, what's wrong with you?"
Cai Zhi found that her appetite was greatly reduced and she no longer had the appetite to eat. Today's lunch was half a bowl less than the previous two days.
"What did daddy do?"
Although Yuanyuan has a bad impression of Pei Zhiyan, he is his biological father after all, and he always feels a little uncomfortable after not seeing him for a long time.
"..."
Caizhi heard from the palace people this morning that Master Zhangyin rushed 600 miles to Kawalong County and slaughtered all the governor Qian's family.
There were fifty-seven people, old, weak, women and children, and the fire burned for a day and a night.
Pei Zhangyin's crimes were too numerous to describe. She was afraid and hated her, but she didn't dare to do anything or say anything.
It was cloudy today, and it started raining heavily in the evening.
When Wu Xian came with an umbrella, he saw her sitting on the threshold of the main hall and asked, "Why don't you go inside when it rains?"
"When will my father come back?"
Yuanyuan took his hand and stood up, looking up at his cold side face.
"Tomorrow, rest early."
Wu Xian found it quite interesting to hear her names changing every day.
Today is the anniversary of the death of Pei Yan's family, and he was not in the palace at this time in previous years.
The Pei family's ancestral hall had also been burned down long ago, and he never went to worship it after it was rebuilt.
No one knows where he went that day.
But at this time of year, he would kill his enemies with blood to comfort the souls of the dead.
Tiger Roaring Mountain——
Deep in the mountains and lonely fields, a blood-red figure knelt on the ground. In front of him were three solitary graves, two large and one small.
"Auntie, the child is here to see you."
Heavy rain hit Pei Zhiyan's body, and blood mixed with the rain flowed down.
There are no inscriptions on these two tombstones. They are the tombs of my uncle, my mother-in-law and my sister.
Back then, my uncle protected the three of them, mother and son, when they escaped. Unfortunately, my mother and sister were captured and died of humiliation and torture. Their bodies were never found.
In order to keep him alive, his uncle was skinned and deboned to death.
And he could do nothing but run away desperately.
On the way to escape, he erected these three lonely tombs, but he couldn't even carve their names on them.
Some of the enemies back then were still in Beijing, and most of them were dispersed to serve in local places.
He would kill them one by one, letting them all taste the pain of annihilation, and bury the three hundred and fifteen members of Pei Yan's family together.
