Chapter 102: Volunteer
Chapter 102 Volunteering
Wu Kunzhi suddenly understood what his little master meant.
He asked: "The third master said, let's check the account books of Prefect Feng?"
"That's right." Pei Yi smiled narrowly.
If others go to check the account books of Prefect Feng, it will naturally not be easy to handle. But the Wu Kunzhi sent by her father is the deputy leader of the dark pavilion, and he is best at killing people and inquiring about news.
Pei Yi believed that, with Wu Kunzhi's ability, sneaking into Feng Taishou's mansion to check the books should not be considered a particularly difficult task.
"It shouldn't be too late, I'm leaving now." Wu Kunzhi said seriously.
Pei Yi said very considerately: "Although the matter is urgent, you can go and talk to Doctor Zhang before you leave, so that he can have a better idea."
Wu Kunzhi said, what am I doing with that frail doctor?
But seeing the concern of the third master, Wu Kunzhi couldn't say the words in his heart, so he could only bite the bullet and respond: "Okay."
Hey, the bitter fruit you planted by yourself can only be eaten and carried silently.
Wu Kunzhi wept silently in his heart, then bowed his fists and exited.
Now, only Pei Yi and these three gentlemen are left in the room.
Pei Yi suddenly felt a headache.
Her hand that was originally supporting her waist was retracted and rubbed her swollen temple, and she said very tiredly: "What's the matter with you three looking for me?"
Afraid that the three would start arguing again, Pei Yi preemptively added: "Let's start from the order in which you enter the room, come one by one, and don't grab anyone. Ji'an, you go first."
Huo Yuan heard Pei Duanxiu call him "Ji'an", and thought that Duanxiu still had some good eyesight, knowing that he should not reveal his prince's identity in front of outsiders.
He glanced at Pei Duanxiu, and said cautiously: "I have something to tell you, but it's not appropriate now."
Pei Yi just wanted to ask why it was inappropriate, but looking at the other two gentlemen in the room, she immediately understood.
Well, the dog tyrant wants to have a private chat with her.
After all, I accidentally exposed the identity of the dog tyrant, so I have to give the dog tyrant an explanation for this matter.
Pei Yi thought of this and stopped questioning Huo Yuan, turned to Du Heng and said, "Ah Heng, what do you want from me?"
Du Heng gave Huo Yuan a very disgusted look, and said unconvinced: "I also whispered to the third master, there are many people here, I am embarrassed, and it is inconvenient to say."
Pei Yi didn't know whether to laugh or cry, so she looked at Qi Sha and said, "Qi Sha, do you have anything to say?"
Qi Sha didn't hide it, and said openly and honestly: "There are too many people outside to complain to the third master. I think it is necessary to check the authenticity of the content of the complaint. Otherwise, when the time comes, County Magistrate Li will bite back. If the third master deliberately spends money to invite people to slander him, then we will be passive."
Pei Yi secretly thought that he is worthy of being the future emperor of the enemy country, and the problem in this thinking is comprehensive.
She nodded and said: "This matter is indeed going to be done, do you think the mansion can allocate manpower now?"
Seven Kills had already made a record of the manpower mobilization in the mansion, and said very prudently: "The manpower available to the mansion is a little tight, but it is barely enough. A few days ago, some people were assigned to keep an eye on Su Luoyun, and the rest Those who are responsible for the investigation can also select some of them to be responsible for this information verification.”
Pei Yi nodded in satisfaction, thinking that the Seven Kills are reliable in their work.
but…
"Li County Magistrate and Na Feng Taishou are the same breed, so they must have their own corruption books." Pei Yi frowned slightly and said, "Aside from the verbal complaints of the common people, if there is Li County Magistrate's corruption books, then things will be easy to handle. too much."
No way, in the eyes of those in power, sometimes the common people suffer no more than a corrupt ledger.
A high-ranking person may be angry when he hears that the people below are oppressed by officials, or he may turn a blind eye.
Especially like today's old emperor, who is getting old and has no fighting spirit. He only thinks about wine pools and meat forests every day, so he will not thoroughly investigate the bullying of a few ordinary people.
But if officials are corrupt, it is another matter.
No one in power can tolerate the corruption of the officials under his hands-maybe it is considered ignorance to make small troubles, but if the hands and feet are too dirty, no one in power can tolerate it.
Pei Yi is very sure, just with Li County Magistrate's arrogant and boundless style, there must be no shortage of fish and meat on weekdays, and the corruption books on hand are definitely very considerable.
"Third Master, my subordinates are willing to search for the account books of County Magistrate Li." Seven kills took a step forward, cupped his fists, and volunteered.
Pei Yi feels more and more that this is what a big boss looks like.
Think about how many people were upset because of Chu Linze when they were reading.
If this person hadn't died young, he might have to fight fiercely with the male protagonist. It is uncertain who will dominate the Central Plains in the end.
Thinking of this, Pei Yi's heart trembled.
At that time, I didn’t think there was anything wrong with reading the book, but now that I think about it, Chu Linze’s untimely death is probably because he took too much poison as a secret guard in Pei’s mansion in the early years—and finally accumulated so much that he was overwhelmed by the poison, so Did you leave early?
Pei Yi sighed secretly, thinking that she must urge people to develop an antidote as soon as possible.
Leaving aside other factors, just saying that Qi Sha has been by her side to help her, she can't just watch this man suffer from poison.
Pei Yi's thoughts got a little far away, and she didn't answer for a while.
The room was quiet.
Qisha silently waited for his master's reply.
Originally, he was sure of everything, but when the master didn't speak, he gradually doubted himself.
However, fortunately, before his thoughts continued to diverge, Pei Yi said in time: "Okay, I will leave the account book to you to handle."
Deputy Chief Wu went to investigate the corruption evidence of Prefect Feng, and Seven Killed investigated the corruption evidence of County Magistrate Li. Both of them are experts in the secret cabinet, and Pei Yi is very confident in the result.
"You and Du Heng step back first." Pei Yi said softly.
Seven kills respectfully accept the order to retire.
Du Heng pursed his lips in dissatisfaction, and secretly gouged Ji'an fox spirit, then saluted reluctantly, and followed Qi Sha out of the room.
Now, only Huo Yuan and Pei Yi are left in the room.
"Tell me, what do you want from me?" Pei Yi asked with a half-smile.
Huo Yuan suddenly became furious.
Obviously he had a lot of questions to question Pei Duanxiu, but this person questioned him first. It was a villain who complained first.
"Let me ask you, when exactly did you know my identity? Did you know it when you saw me on the mountain, or... other times?"
Although Huo Yuan already had a guess in his mind, he still wanted to confirm it again.
I don't know why, but he always feels that Pei Duanxiu should not be so... bad.
