Although the Weiwu Hou Mansion is no longer the ruined place where foxes and rabbits roam, and he, Pei Ji, is no longer the old cripple who cannot do anything and can only wait for death, it seems that he is not yet old enough to allow Jing Zhaoyin to personally

The point of coming to the door.

This is like going to the Three Treasures Palace for nothing.

Therefore, after the servants served tea, Pei Ji took the initiative and said: "Master Ji, I don't know what advice you can give me when you come to Weiwuhou Mansion today?"

Ji Yu likes this kind of directness.

He and Pei Ji didn't have any friendship at all. It would be embarrassing if they kept bragging about each other in business, right?

Therefore, when Pei Ji asked, he said: "I do have something to do when I come today. According to someone who submitted information to me, it is said that a group of guests came to the Weiwu Hou Mansion more than a month ago?"

A group of guests? More than a month ago?

Pei Ji understood it as soon as he heard it.

He chuckled and said: "Lord Ji, you are joking. Look at the current situation of my mighty Marquis Mansion. How can I expect any guests to come to my door?"

Ji Yu was a little unhappy, did Pei Ji not want to admit it?

Before he could speak, he heard Pei Ji say again: "There are no guests. However, some people of the same clan came from the Pei family's hometown. They are not considered guests. They are living in the house now. If Lord Ji said that

It’s what they said, and it’s true!”

Ji Yu: "..."

He said: "I wonder where your fellow tribesmen are?"

Pei Ji understood. I'm afraid it wasn't the Sixth Prince's action. Otherwise, who could invite Master Jing Zhaoyin?

After the Pei family concubines did what they did, Mu Qingyu had already told Pei Ji about the trouble the Sixth Prince was making. She didn't want Pei Ji to worry about her, but she couldn't let Pei Ji know everything, otherwise

When something really happens, a person who is kept in the dark will make wrong judgments.

He smiled and said: "They want to stay temporarily in Weiwuhou Mansion. After all, they are of the same clan, so naturally they are allowed to stay."

"I heard that these people haven't been out for so long?"

"That's true!" Pei Ji said with some embarrassment: "Sir, you know that in our Weiwu Marquis Mansion, due to Pei's disabled body in his early years, he was unable to walk and his health gradually deteriorated, so he neglected the management of the house.

The yard was all in ruins. The steps on the terrace were green, the grass was green on the curtains, the vines were on the curtains, and the ground was covered with dust. The servants of the Pei Mansion couldn't clean it. No, they came, and when they saw this situation, they took the initiative to help clean it up.

Once everything is cleaned up, how can we have time to leave the house?"

"As far as I know, they were detained by you, and you don't know whether they are alive or dead!" Ji Yu stopped speaking in official terms.

If Pei Ji was a powerful prince, he would certainly be polite, but Pei Ji was not. At best, he would just call him the head of the Pei family. Therefore, Ji Yu could not be polite to him.

When Pei Ji heard this, he couldn't help laughing and said: "Detained? I don't know whether I am alive or dead? Are you kidding me?" He raised his voice and said: "Come here!"

The old servant Zhou Chen had just finished serving tea and was behind Pei Ji. He immediately responded: "Here!"

Pei Ji said: "Go and invite the masters and young masters from the same clan to come over!"

Zhou Chen said: "Yes!"

Pei Ji smiled at Ji Yu and said, "Hearing is false, seeing is believing. Lord Ji, why not ask them personally!"

Ji Yu thought that this was fine. Chu Chengyu was still in the prison. He was thinking about more than 20 lives and it was so important that he made this trip. If no lives were lost, everyone would live well.

Then why should he bother?

He opened the tea bowl and drank tea.

The tea was not very good, but it was brewed just right and felt good in the mouth. He took two sips and stopped moving.

Pei Ji always smiled and didn't care about Ji Yu's previous questions. He was humble and polite without any slights.

After a while, footsteps sounded at the door of the hall, and Pei Wenlang and a group of more than 20 people walked into the hall one after another.

Fortunately, this hall is big enough. Even though there are more than twenty people there, it doesn't seem crowded.

Pei Wenlang cupped his hands and said, "Master, are you calling us?"

Pei Ji sat on the main seat, glanced at all the members of the Pei family, and said in a calm voice: "This is Mr. Jingzhao Yinji. I heard that you are coming from your hometown, but you have not left the house these days. I am afraid that you are no longer alive.

So I asked you to come over and ask questions!"

Ji Yu: "..."

Why does this sound weird?

As early as when this group of people entered the door, he quietly took a look at them. There were more than twenty of them. They all seemed to obey the rules and were very respectful to Pei Ji.

When a member of the same clan meets the head of the family, he should be respectful. There is nothing wrong with that.

Ji Yu said: "You have been in Beijing for a while, and you have been living in Pei Mansion, but you don't go out. Why?"

Pei Wenlang said: "Sir, we are embarrassed to live and eat in the Hou Mansion for free. Seeing that some of the yards in the Hou Mansion are deserted, we help clean them up. The Hou Mansion has useful food and accommodation, so we don't need to go out!"

"Seriously?" Ji Yu pointed at Pei Shihe, the youngest of the Pei clan's concubine branch, Pei Jinhai's youngest son.

The concubine branch of the Pei family also followed the example of the main branch. The legitimate children were all named in the order of Shi, and the concubine was not qualified to use the word Shi.

Pei Shihe was only fourteen years old. Ji Yu thought to himself that younger people are not so thoughtful and must be telling the truth. As for Pei Wenlang, his eyes were rolling around when he spoke. He didn't believe it!

Pei Shihe swallowed his saliva and seemed a little scared.

Ji Yu kept his expression gentle and said: "Don't be afraid, I am here and will make the decision for you!"

Pei Shihe said: "We are helping. The uncle of the family takes care of our food and housing. Dad said that a person must repay kindness!"

Ji Yu: "..."

God's kindness is repaid.

Don't think that he doesn't know about the trouble between the Sixth Prince and this Pei family's concubine.

When the Sixth Prince's Mansion sent someone to Jing Zhaoyin to say hello, Ji Yu, an elite official in the officialdom, immediately sent someone to inquire. After inquiring, it turned out that the people from the Pei family's concubine branch were sent by the Sixth Prince.

Came here.

Pei Ji did not allow the concubines of the Pei family to enter, so what happened at the gate was what happened.

After Pei's concubines were rejected several times, the sixth prince personally brought them in.

Then, the six princes left, and the Pei family members stayed behind.

When Ji Yu heard the news from his confidants, the corner of his mouth twitched several times.

It was not a secret in the capital that the Pei clan's concubine had involved Xiruan in the Weiwu Marquis' mansion and had betrayed Pei Ji and his son. Even though Ji Yu was not Jing Zhaoyin at that time, it didn't mean that he didn't know about it.

Pei Ji, an old and disabled man with both legs broken, and Pei's concubine, a group of strong young men, are they not like locusts passing through the border?

A group of concubines who would flee with their money and betray their main branch when the family is in crisis, can you expect them to be good people?

Therefore, Ji Yu felt that Pei Ji might have suffered a greater loss.
