Chapter 234 Accusation
Li Hongdao's aloof expression could no longer be stretched, and the hand holding the rein was already dripping with cold sweat.
Although the third master of the Pei family on the steps is shorter than him on the horseback, his expression seems to be squinting at him, with a look of contempt, which makes him feel imposing invisibly. Shorter.
Pei Yi saw that the other party refused to say anything at all, but at the same time refused to retreat, her face couldn't help getting colder.
Pei Yi stared at the other party coldly, and said in a cold voice: "Today, Li Langzhong thinks that I, Pei Yi, are easy to bully, so he is picky, and he came to my mansion to intimidate me, right?!"
Even if he did such a thing as intimidating the children of the nobles, it could only be done in a sneaky way.
How could Li Hongdao still sit on horseback?
Pei Sanlang's words are equivalent to saying that he, a small guard Zuo Langzhong, dared to lead troops to bully the prime minister's son!
Such things are not only a taboo for Prime Minister Pei, but also a taboo for all the nobles in Kyoto.
No noble will allow officers and soldiers to wantonly oppress the noble son!
If things get serious today, let alone whether he can keep his black hat, he might not even be able to keep his life.
Li Hongdao didn't care about face.
He hurriedly got off his horse, bowed and clasped his fists in fear and respect, and said, "Li doesn't dare! What happened today is really a misunderstanding! Li was just following orders, and didn't intend to offend the third master. Please also ask the third master Haihan!"
Pei Yi saw that the other party had given in so softly, so she knew that this person was just a paper tiger who was strong on the outside but only on the inside.
What else can she not understand now?
Today, this Xiaowei Zuo Langzhong surnamed Li just wanted to bring officers and soldiers to intimidate her.
Now that threats don't work, I plan to apologize and retreat.
But isn't it ridiculous?
The people in Kyoto are the ones who follow the wind and step on the low.
Today, if this Xiaowei Zuo Langzhong surnamed Li could apologize casually after threatening her, he would retreat unscathed.
In the future, other people will bully her in the same way, or even worse.
After all, no matter how much you bullied her, as long as you open your mouth to apologize, you can write it off. Who else would respect her?
Pei Yi was angry from the bottom of her heart.
She stared at the Xiaowei Zuo Langzhong who was acting obediently in front of her for the time being, and teased with a smirk: "Li Langzhong surrounded my mansion with hundreds of Xiaoqi guards today, and now an apology is all that matters?"
Li Hongdao was dripping with cold sweat, but he is now leading hundreds of subordinates, if he was bluffed by Pei Sanlang like this, it would really lose his prestige.
He forced his majestic appearance, and said with a tiger face: "Mr. Pei, Mr. Li said that today's incident was just a misunderstanding, and Mr. Li has already apologized. Mr. Pei must not be unreasonable, otherwise If you lose face, you can’t blame others.”
Pei Yi's face was full of anger, and she said with a cold grin: "Why did I lose face?"
She laughed back in anger, and suddenly raised her voice: "Could it be that Li Langzhong is planning to bring hundreds of guards like you into my Pei Mansion?"
Li Hongdao's face was stiff.
Of course he didn't dare.
Today, these hundreds of imperial guards are just looking at bluffing people, but in fact, they are paper tigers in front of the nobles, and they dare not do anything at all.
Anyone who dares to be unscrupulously wounded by the imperial army—that can only be ordinary people with no official status.
What he said just now, "Be careful of losing face", was indeed intended to use the Imperial Army to bluff Pei Jiasanlang.
There are also some timid people in Beijing, and the aristocrats were indeed shocked.
But how could he have imagined that the cowardly Pei Saburo in the past would be so stubborn today?
Li Hongdao was sweating coldly, gritted his teeth and wondered whether he should resist the gamble and Pei Sanlang didn't have the guts, or should he immediately give in and show more sincerity in apologizing.
Pei Yi saw Li Hongdao's hesitant and silent appearance, and roughly guessed what this man was planning.
She had a cold and dignified look on her face, and she sarcastically said with a half-smile: "Today, Langzhong Li dared to encircle my Xiao Pei's mansion in the name of His Majesty, and even tried to force his way into my mansion with forbidden troops."
"Li Langzhong dared to bully me so far, if you don't make sure, you dare to bully another nobleman tomorrow!"
"In the future, Mr. Li, if you see someone who doesn't like you, just lead hundreds of officers and soldiers to that person's mansion!"
"What nobles are there in Kyoto? Doesn't everyone look up to you, Mr. Li?!"
Li Hongdao suddenly sweated like a waterfall, as if he was in the ice and snow of the twelfth lunar month, his whole body felt cold.
The words of the third master of the Pei family are too powerful!
This directly made him offend all the nobles in Kyoto!
If the nobles in Kyoto are all moved by Pei Sanlang's words, then where is his foothold in this capital?
Li Hongdao bowed to the end immediately, how could he dare to show a little bit of negligence?
He said with trepidation and trepidation: "Third Lord, calm down!"
"Villiages don't know Taishan!"
"Today's reality is that death is the cause of death!"
"The villain hereby apologizes to you!"
Apologize?
Pei Yi sneered inwardly.
The so-called "repentance" is to change some words into modesty in words, but there is no substantive apology in action.
After punching her hard and wanting to let her go like this, there are really walls on all sides—no way!
"I, Mr. Pei, cannot bear Li Langzhong's apology!"
Pei Yi's face was as cold as frost in the twelfth lunar month.
She sneered and sneered unceremoniously, "Li Langzhong is so mighty today, I don't know whether he is relying on His Majesty's power or which family's power to show off his power here?!"
Li Hongdao's face was earthy.
The words of the third master of the Pei family are really embarrassing!
This is accusing him of taking advantage of His Majesty's power to commit crimes!
Since ancient times, no emperor would allow his subjects to act arrogantly in their own name!
But this is not the most powerful.
What is really powerful about Mr. Pei's words is that it implies that he is forming a party for personal gain!
This is a big taboo for those in power!
If the words of Third Master Pei had reached His Majesty today, even if His Majesty hadn't had an attack on the spot, he would have doubts about him because of His suspicious temperament.
Then my career as an official has come to an end!
Li Hongdao realized that he had hit the iron plate today.
He completely lost his arrogance, knelt down on the ground with a plop on his knees, kowtowed and begged for mercy: "Third Lord, calm down!"
"Today, the villain was deceived by lard, and dared to commit the following crimes!"
"The villain deserves death!"
"The villain dare not take advantage of anyone!"
"The villain is just full of shit!"
"Please calm the third master!"
Pei Yi looked at this man who kowtowed like garlic with cold eyes, and there was only contempt in her heart, but no tenderness in the slightest.
Those who humiliate others will always humiliate them.
Today, if a person surnamed Li dares to wantonly insult others, he should be prepared to be backlashed by himself!
Li Hongdao saw that the third master of the Pei family refused to accept his apology with a cold face, and his heart suddenly flustered.
He managed to get to his current position with great difficulty, but he couldn't just lose his mind just because he offended the powerful!
Li Hongdao was already sweating profusely, breaking out in bursts of cold sweat.
He turned his head and glared angrily at the group of imperial guards, pouted his neck and said sternly: "What are you still doing in a daze? Hurry up and apologize to the third master!"
A group of forbidden soldiers have long been fooled by the situation in front of them.
They came aggressively, and originally wanted to make fun of Pei Sanlang, a well-known cowardly noble dude in Beijing.
But who would have thought that in the end, their superior boss kowtowed to Pei Sanlang to apologize in front of a group of them.
Even though this group of imperial guards still didn't understand the power of Pei Yi's words, they could know that they must have kicked the iron plate this time when they looked at their boss's fearful appearance.
This Pei Jiasaburo can't afford to provoke him at all!
Oh, what is it called Pei Sanlang, it should be called Pei Sanye!
The guards and imperial guards didn't dare to be arrogant, they hurriedly bowed and apologized: "Third Lord, calm down!"
Hundreds of officers and soldiers bowed their heads in unison to apologize, and the momentum was unusually large.
Wu Kunzhi looked at the situation in front of him, his complexion changed, and he couldn't help turning his head to look at the third young master of the Pei family who was protected behind him.
San Lang-kun is really different from before.
When he was in Linhe County, although Mr. Sanlang had the heart and strength to deal with Li County Magistrate and Feng Taishou, his methods always made people feel aggrieved.
But today's matter, Mr. Saburo not only dealt with it directly, but also handled it quite well.
As far as the third master is concerned, Lei Ting's wrist today is already a bit like a master.
If the third master can guard against arrogance and impetuosity with this attitude, and make persistent efforts, in time, he will not be under the uncle!
Wu Kunzhi couldn't help but admire.
Only such a third master can be worthy of being Pei Xiangguo's first son!
This is the tiger father without dog son!
Not only Wu Kunzhi was surprised, but also the guards around Pei Yi were surprised and excited.
They thought that today's affairs might not be good.
They were even ready to fight the Imperial Guard!
But who would have thought that this group of imperial guards who were domineering before would now bow and apologize to his third master like a grandson!
San Ye is really amazing!
Following such a little master is really pretty!
How could Pei Yi know what the group of loyal guards around her had imagined.
She looked at a group of imperial guards who bowed their heads submissively, and said coldly: "Everyone, please go back!"
"If someone else sees a crowd of officers and soldiers outside my Xiao Pei's mansion, if they don't know, they will think that I, Pei, have committed some serious crime!"
Li Hongdao was sweating profusely. He didn't dare to kneel down and beg for mercy. He stood up in fear and trepidation and said, "It's the villain who didn't think carefully and made the third master difficult!"
"The villain will lead this group of blind guys away!"
"Today's matter, the villain should have made thousands of mistakes!"
"The villain will come to the door in person to apologize to the third master in another day!"
After the words fell, Li Hongdao didn't dare to delay for a moment, he didn't even dare to get on the horseback, he led the horseback and called a group of imperial troops to go.
The imperial guards have long lost their original pride and arrogance, and they are all ashamed and anxious, fearing that they will be settled by the third master of the Pei family.
Pei Yi watched the group of officers and soldiers walk away until they disappeared in the street, and then said lightly: "Go home."
Wu Kunzhi and the other guards put their swords back into their sheaths.
Everyone is inevitably excited.
After all, the scene where several hundred imperial guards bowed their heads and confessed their mistake was really shocking.
Meeting such a thing in their lifetime is enough for them to brag about it for a lifetime.
Pei Yi had no superfluous expression on her face, she walked ahead with her hands behind her back, and said in a cold voice: "Everyone, step back, don't follow me."
"Obey." All the guards adore her now, the word "obey" is respectful, and the clasping ceremony is also done so as to be sincerely convinced.
Pei Yi didn't even look back, and quickly walked to the corridor by herself.
After walking quickly for a long distance, Pei Yi glanced back furiously to confirm that no one was following her, so she held on to the thick red-painted wooden pillar beside her, took a deep breath, and raised her hand to gently pat her chest Suppression.
Scared her to death!
She was really scared to death just now!
Don't look at her at that time, she looked like an aristocratic young master, but she was actually dead in her heart!
Those are hundreds of well-trained guards!
Even if she later guessed that the imperial guards didn't dare to take action against her, she still couldn't help feeling frightened.
Pei Yi raised her hand to wipe off the cold sweat from her temples.
She was just now bracing herself to confront the imperial army.
Because she knows too well that if she is weak today, any of the children of powerful officials in the capital will be able to step on her in the future.
The people around her who protect her will also be looked down upon by others, and even these people will look down on her secretly.
After the strong pressure disappeared, Pei Yi belatedly felt her legs go weak.
She leaned on the pillar and sat on the bench in the porch, leaning against the beauty behind her.
Until today, she didn't really understand what her elder brother said to her that day.
Apart from the royal family, the Pei family has no need to be afraid of anyone.
Whoever dares to make her unhappy, she will directly retaliate.
Pei Yi couldn't help smiling when she thought of this.
Although it was inevitable that I felt guilty at the time, when I think about it afterwards, I really feel an indescribable joy and relief.
To be honest, she didn't expect that the guards would all bow and apologize to her in the end.
She was really dumbfounded at the time, and she simply forgot how to react.
Pei Yi thought to herself, she still needs to exercise more, it's really like what her elder brother teased her——she looks like she has never seen the world.
The other end.
When Pei Xuanzong led several personal guards to hurry towards Xiao Pei's mansion, he saw the imperial guards walking in a uniform direction.
The personal guard looked at the situation, and said with a complicated mood: "Master, are we late?"
Pei Xuanzong's face darkened, and he accelerated towards Xiao Pei's mansion.
The imperial guards left just like that. Could it be that Xiao Pei's mansion has already been searched?
Sanskrit must be very scared now.
Pei Xuanzong felt distressed, anxious and blamed himself, whipping the horse, not daring to stop for a moment.
Not long after, a group of people arrived at Xiao Pei's mansion.
"Call—"
Pei Xuan grabbed the reins and got off the horse, and walked up the steps to the gate without saying a word, holding up the hem of his clothes.
The guard quickly saluted respectfully: "I have seen you, sir."
Pei Xuanzong nodded solemnly, stepped into the threshold without stopping, and asked anxiously and worriedly: "Where is the third master now?!"
"The third master has gone to the Haitang Garden." The guard now mentions the third master of the Pei family with indescribable awe, "The third master won't let us follow, and he is probably still in the Haitang Garden now."
Pei Xuanzong's heart ached when he heard this.
Sanskrit, this is a person who was bullied and hid and was sad!
Blame him for being so late!
Pei Xuan strode toward the Begonia Garden.
Passing through the long Chaoshou corridor, after turning several turns, Pei Xuanzong saw his sister sitting on the bench in the corridor with her head lowered.
The dejected look looks extremely pitiful.
Pei Xuanzong felt so much pain that he was about to bleed.
He walked over quickly, knelt down and looked at his sister from the bottom up, and said sadly: "I'm sorry, brother is late."
Pei Yi was indulging in the joy of playing a big role today, when she suddenly heard her elder brother's voice full of self-blame, she couldn't help being startled.
"Brother?! When did you come here?!" Pei Yi patted her beating heart and complained depressingly, "Why are you walking silently?"
Pei Xuanzong's sadness and self-blame were all blown away.
He looked at his younger sister's airy appearance, frowned slightly and said, "I don't think you look sad."
"Why should I be sad?" Pei Yi looked puzzled.
She was so happy now, she quickly pulled her brother up and sat beside her, and said happily: "Brother, let me tell you! Just now I scare off a group of imperial guards!"
"That Xiaowei Zuolang Li Jingdao knelt on the ground and kowtowed to me to apologize!"
"And that group of forbidden soldiers all bowed and apologized to me!"
"Brother, can you imagine that scene?"
"The imperial guards of one or two hundred people, they all stood there neatly and shouted, 'Third Lord, calm down'!"
"Ha ha ha ha…"
Pei Yi couldn't help laughing as she spoke, wrapped her face in her hands and said beamingly: "I'm so beautifulhahahaha..."
Pei Xuanzong: "..."
Fortunately, he thought that his sister was deeply humiliated, but they have already settled the matter!
Although the younger sister has become more capable than before, and even faintly has the courage and ability to be independent, why does he feel a little bit uncomfortable in his heart?
"Brother, what exactly did you want to tell me just now?" Pei Yi said enough of her great achievements, and then asked her elder brother's reason for coming with a smile.
Pei Xuanzong's expression was slightly stiff, and he said nonsense calmly: "I suddenly received a message from you today, saying that the imperial guards surrounded your mansion."
"I just wanted to ask you, why didn't I see the forbidden army at the door."
"However, after listening to your explanation now, I know the reason."
"Dare to scare the forbidden army away by you."
These words actually have an indescribably sour taste.
Pei Yi was still immersed in her own joy, completely unaware of her elder brother's subtle sour mood.
"Sanskrit!"
"Sanskrit!"
The two brothers and sisters were talking, when suddenly they heard two shouts.
Looking up, it turned out that the prime minister Pei Shu and the second son Pei Xuan rushed over in a hurry.
Both of them looked anxious, and the worry in their eyes was almost overflowing.
However, Pei Yi was so happy now, she walked over and took the arms of her father and second brother from left to right, bragging without joking: "Daddy, second brother, let me tell you!"
"Today, I scare away a group of guards!"
"That Xiaowei Zuolang Li Hongdao knelt on the ground and kowtowed to me to apologize!"
"You don't know, he was very arrogant before, when he apologized... Huh! That's shameless."
"And that group of imperial guards, they drew their knives to scare me at first, but then they all bowed and apologized to me?"
"Ha ha ha ha…"
Pei Yi was so happy that she almost looked up to the sky and laughed, and said triumphantly: "See if this group of people dare to bully me!"
Pei Shu: "..."
Pei Xuanting: "..."
The father and son who came in a hurry looked at each other, their eyes were full of disbelief and unspeakable depression.
Then, both of them looked at Pei Xuanzong who arrived one step ahead of them.
Pei Xuanzong also looked helpless.
What can he do?
Just now he has heard the little girl swearing, okay?
Now listen to her twitching again.
He is already numb and has no feeling.
That night.
The third master felt unspeakably sour and depressed after returning to Pei's mansion.
Prime Minister Pei Shu took advantage of his face to walk in front, and suddenly asked: "Did Sanskrit grow up?"
"Yeah, I've grown up." Pei Xuan said in a muffled voice, "It's really amazing. We can solve the crisis without us."
Pei Xuanzong finally knew where his sour air came from. He sighed faintly: "Sanskrit does not need us anymore."
"Hey..." Pei Xuanting sighed for a long time, unable to hide his sadness, "I won't have the sense of accomplishment that my brother protects 'Xiao Langjun' from now on."
"Hmph!" Pei Shu snorted coldly, turned his head and glanced at his two sons, and said with disdain and contempt, "It's just so promising! Isn't it a good thing for my 'brother' to be able to do it?!"
"How old is he, I still want to find a sense of accomplishment from my 'brother', and I'm not afraid to make people laugh when I say it!"
Brothers Pei Xuanzong and Pei Xuanting were deeply ashamed, they lowered their heads and said in unison: "Father is very right, the child has been educated."
"Hmph!" Pei Shu snorted again in disdain, and walked into the study with a flick of his sleeves.
As soon as the door was closed, Pei Shu secretly beat his chest and stamped his feet.
The girl who used to always get into trouble is now so capable. Although he is happy, he also feels sour.
My daughter doesn't need his father to protect her at all times, right?
so sad…
I feel that I am not needed by my daughter...
The other end.
Xiao Pei Mansion.
Qisha and Xun Huan listened with sparkling eyes to their third master talking about the "great feat" of driving away all the guards today.
"The third master is too wise." Xun Huan lay on the bed and stared at the third master sitting beside him, and praised sweetly.
With the protection of the third master, he feels too safe
Pei Yi puffed out her chest slightly, waved her hands and said with a smug smile: "It's a big praise."
Qisha looked at his third master with admiration, and corrected him sincerely: "The third master is very powerful."
Pei Yi was terrified all of a sudden, and the villain in her heart had already put her hips on her hips and laughed loudly.
Xun Huan secretly rubbed his eyes at the handsome secret guard standing beside the third master, and thought: These seven kills are really good at flattering. The third master was obviously self-effacing, and Qi Sha went to add and correct one sentence, which really made the third master happy to the bottom of his heart.
